In Xiao Wangfu, Lin Chujiu seldom ate at the same table with Xiao Tianyao, and did not wait for him to come back for dinner. It's not that Lin Chujiu took the overseas Chinese and did not give Xiao Wang face, but that Xiao Tianyao did not give Lin Chujiu this chance.
Lin Chujiu was thrown into the desolate backyard by Xiao Tianyao as soon as she married into Prince Xiao's mansion. She had no chance or qualification to eat at the same table with Xiao Tianyao. When she was able to eat at the beginning, it was all alms from Prince Xiao, and she disdained embarrassing a woman.
Later, the relationship between the two was good and bad. Although there was an opportunity to eat at the same table, and they also ate at the same table, the process was not very pleasant. At least for Lin Chujiu, eating at the same table with Xiao Tianyao was really not a good idea. what a pleasure.
Tonight, Lin Chujiu never thought of eating with Xiao Tianyao, let alone waiting for Xiao Tianyao to come back, but he couldn't resist Cao's repeated persuasion.
"Princess, you and the lord have come back safely after this disaster. Why do you have to eat this first meal together. The lord said that you should cook more richly tonight, and cook more dishes that you like to eat." In the eyes of Butler Cao, Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao were considered to have survived in danger this time, and the two of them returning to Beijing today can be regarded as proud, so they should celebrate.
"Originally, the palace said that there would be a banquet for you and the prince tonight, but it was pushed by the prince, and Princess Furou also said that she would host a banquet for you and the prince. The lord has made it clear that he doesn't want to celebrate with outsiders. But it is a great event for you and the lord to return safely. We don't celebrate with outsiders, but our family is always lively and lively." Butler Cao deserves to be the housekeeper of Xiao Wangfu. Man, although he didn't spend much time with Lin Chujiu, he knew exactly what Lin Chujiu cared about
Lin Chujiu is a person who attaches great importance to feelings. She is especially good to her family. This can be seen from the Meng family. Butler Cao's "own family" pokes Lin Chujiu's soft help, and Lin Chujiu is a little bit. Think about it.
She has never shared the joy with her family and celebrated victory together. And she and Xiao Tianyao really need to change the way they get along. This is an opportunity. She wants to give it a try, one last time.
With the greatest expectations, Lin Chujiu went to the kitchen in high spirits to draw up the menu in person, and waited happily for Xiao Tianyao to come back to eat together, but...
From sunset to dark, from dark to dinner time, Xiao Tianyao didn't come back, and there was not even a news. Finally, there was news, but he didn't come back.
This is what Butler Cao said, Xiao Tianyao didn't want to celebrate with outsiders, just wanted to celebrate with her
This is what Butler Cao said, Xiao Tianyao specially instructed to make dinner richer, to dine with her
The messenger left, but the flower hall was dead silent. Lin Chujiu didn't speak. Butler Cao wished he didn't exist. Pearl and Agate wanted to persuade, but they didn't know how to speak.
Speaking for the wang ye, wouldn't it make the wang concubine sad; but if they wanted to complain about the wang ye for the wang fei, they didn't have the courage, so they just shut up and said nothing.
After a long time, Lin Chujiu said, "Butler Cao, did the lord say that he will come back for dinner tonight?"
"If you go back to the princess, no." Butler Cao kept his nerves tense. Hearing Lin Chujiu's question, he immediately stepped forward.
"Sure enough." Sure enough, the burden of shaving her head was hot, she was so stupid, she didn't know how to ask beforehand.
"Princess, the lord must be entangled in something, or he will definitely come back tonight." Butler Cao had to bite the bullet and explain to Xiao Tianyao.
There is no way, who told him to say a lot of words, just to prove that today is different, this meal is of great significance, knowing that the prince will not come back, he will not open his mouth if he is killed.
Butler Cao secretly slapped himself on both the lips, secretly blaming himself for saying so much when he had nothing to say.
"Just returning to Beijing, the imperial court is in a mess. It's normal for him to be busy. Let someone warm up the food, pick up a few of my favorites and serve it up, and you can share the rest." To say that you are not disappointed is a lie. Yes, she was looking forward to celebrating her safe return with her "family", but in the end she died without a problem. How could she feel better
But no matter how uncomfortable it is, everything is done by himself, Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything, did he
"Princess..." Butler Cao opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by pearls and agate: "This servant will bring the food down."
"But..." Butler Cao looked gloomy. Although the dish on the table was not done by the princess herself, it was the princess' heart. Even if the prince didn't come back, he shouldn't let the servants share it.
Let the lord know that if these servants ate the meal that the princess carefully prepared for him, can they still live to see the sun tomorrow
Pearl and Agate guessed what Butler Cao was thinking, but they didn't give him a chance to speak, so they interrupted again: "Butler Cao, the princess' order, let's follow it."
Butler Cao glanced at Lin Chujiu quietly, seeing that Lin Chujiu's face was calm, neither happy nor angry, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Although the princess didn't get angry, it was even more terrifying than getting angry. Butler Cao didn't dare to say anything at the moment, and stood by the side honestly.
Butler Cao's reaction Lin Chujiu saw in her eyes. She didn't mean to blame Butler Cao, but she didn't think to follow his wishes. Butler Cao was able to persuade her to wait for Xiao Tianyao to eat together because she wanted to, and what she didn't want to do was useless no matter how much Butler Cao persuaded her.
"Send the food to the backyard, I'll eat there." Lin Chujiu got up and said.
The crisp sound of pearl and agate should be, butler Cao looked at Lin Chujiu's leaving back, did not dare to speak again, only sighed heavily, and felt sorry for the prince in his heart.
What a great opportunity to be wasted. If the prince comes back tonight to accompany the princess for dinner, he might be able to keep the princess in the main courtyard.
"I don't know what the lord is thinking? Is there anything more important than coming back to accompany the princess to have a meal?" Butler Cao felt depressed in his heart.
In front of Lin Chujiu, he would repeatedly emphasize the importance and significance of tonight's meal, because that's what he thought in his heart.
In his opinion, the prince will come back to dine with the princess tonight no matter what, so he stupidly didn't tell the prince beforehand.
If you commit stupidity once, you can be forgiven, but if you commit stupidity a second time, then there is no redemption for the crime. Seeing Lin Chujiu walking away, Butler Cao ran out immediately, caught up with Pearl and Onyx, and cut off the food in their hands.
"No, I can't give it to you. If the princess knows, she will definitely blame us." Pearl and Agate avoided, not giving Butler Cao a chance to get close.
Butler Cao was so angry that he pointed at the two and scolded: "You two, don't follow the fire, this meal was carefully prepared by the princess, who dares to eat it?" You don't want to die, right
"That can't be given to you either." Pearl and Agate looked embarrassed. They did not dare to disobey Lin Chujiu's order, but they were indeed afraid of the prince.
Butler Cao stepped forward vigorously and grabbed the tray in the hands of pearls and agate: "Give it to me, I will help you to distribute it to everyone, you quickly pick two dishes that are hot, and send them to the princess."
"This..." Pearl and Agate looked embarrassed, but Butler Cao said as if chasing flies, "Go, go, how can you two big maids take action for such a trivial matter."
"It doesn't matter, the princess asked us to tell the truth." Pearl and Agate hesitated for a while, then gritted their teeth and picked a few dishes and left.
Butler Cao stood there with a sullen face, until Pearl and Onyx were far away, and he breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, he was able to explain to the prince.
