"Sister Tao, why is it so late today that Director Xiao still doesn't let everyone go to rest?" Chu Zhuyu asked Sister Tao who was standing by the stove with her while yawning.
"Today, the general is going back to the mansion, and the general manager and everyone are busy waiting for the general." Sister Tao said, looking at the small fire on the stove from time to time. At the moment, the good Guanyan is being stewed. This small fire cannot be extinguished. It has to be stewed all the time so that the taste can be simmered.
In addition to this bird's nest, there are also many prepared meals. In addition, there are many cooks who are waiting in line, just waiting for the general to come back and do what they want.
And Chu Zhuyu's mission here is to look at the small fire, pay attention to the fire, and at the same time not let the fire go out.
Suddenly, the front yard was in chaos. Sister Tao looked around and saw a little maid hurried over.
"What's the matter?" Sister Tao asked while holding the maid.
"The general has returned to the mansion, but he is gone again."
"Why can't I see you when you go back to the manor?" Sister Tao was inexplicable.
The little maid took a breath and explained: "The general's carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, and the general manager Xiao heard the general's voice outside the carriage, but when the general manager opened the curtain of the carriage, he did not see the general, nor did he know the general. Where is this going, I'm in a hurry to let everyone find it."
When Sister Tao heard the situation, she thought about it, and asked a few cooks and herself to find someone, while Chu Zhuyu continued to stay, watching the fire on the stove.
As soon as these people left, the kitchen seemed a little empty. Chu Zhuyu could only sigh once again when the eyes were full of rich ingredients.

However, she was a little curious about where the general went. Was it kidnapped in the carriage? It shouldn't be, it is said that this General Xiao's martial arts is very good, even in the world, there are not many opponents.
Just when she tilted her head and thought hard, a pair of big hands circled from behind her. In the next second, Chu Zhuyu had already fallen into a broad chest, and the familiar breath sprayed on her side neck.
"Jueqing?" she called, in a questioning but affirming tone.
"Yeah." He replied lightly, burying his head in her shoulder. I miss her so much, I can't help but think. But the moment he saw her, his mind went blank, and his body hugged her automatically. It seemed that only holding her like this and smelling her scent could make him relax.
"Have you followed the general into the palace these days?" she asked. Since the day the general entered the palace, he also happened to have not come to her room at night.
"I'm so tired," he murmured, hugging her tighter.
She twisted her body and saw that he didn't let go, so she could only say, "Let go of your hand first, I want to see you."
The big hands that were hugging her finally loosened, and she turned around and looked up at his face. Junya Qingjun's face was full of tiredness, and the blue marks under the corners of his eyes deepened a lot.
Naturally, she raised her hand and rubbed his forehead, "You haven't slept these days?"

"Can't sleep. As soon as I come back, I'll look for you everywhere." When he went to her room to look for her but didn't see her, he almost destroyed the whole room uncontrollably.
"Then how did you find me?" she asked curiously.
"Your scent."
"odor?"
"I found it after smelling you." Fortunately, she was in the mansion. If he was outside the mansion, even if he had a keen sense of smell, he probably wouldn't be able to find her. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhizhi said solemnly: "Zhuyu, say it again, you will not leave me."
Chu Zhuyu rolled her eyes, she was forced to say this many times.
"Okay, I won't leave you." Although she knew this was just a comforting word, but looking into his eyes, she couldn't tell the truth. Turning her head slightly, she avoided his gaze and changed the subject: "You often follow the general?"
"What's up?"
"I just want to know if the general looks as good as the rumors and is a handsome man."
"You want to see him?"

Chu Zhuyu touched her nose, "It's a little bit, after all, I've been a maid for two months in the general's mansion. I heard that because this General Xiao likes to drink tea recently, the emperor specially rewarded him with four taels of top Junshan silver needles. ." That's a tribute tea, it's much better than those Junshan Silver Needles on the market.
Chu Zhuyu's tone was not without envy. After all, she would spend her whole life trying to taste those tribute tea leaves.
"Want to drink?" Xiao Zhizhi glanced at Chu Zhuyu.
"Of course I do, but I'm just thinking about it." She stuck out her tongue. "Those tribute teas are not for everyone. If you drink it secretly, you will lose your head."
"No one's going to cut your head off." He said firmly and meant something.
She didn't catch the deep meaning of his words, and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound in his stomach, "Are you hungry?" she asked.
"I haven't eaten since noon." Xiao Zhizhi nodded. If it wasn't for the voice reminder, he would have forgotten that he should eat something. As soon as he returned to the house, he just wanted to quickly run to her.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner! If you are always hungry like this, your body will collapse sooner or later." Chu Zhuyu said angrily, looking at Xiao Zhizhi and the meals that the cook had already cooked.
After hesitating for a while, she took out a piece of pastry and handed it over, "Well, let's eat it first." I just hope that others won't see that there is a missing piece of pastry in the plate.
Xiao Zhizhi didn't stretch out his hand, just opened his mouth and looked like he was waiting for someone to feed him.
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
She sighed and resignedly started feeding him pastries.
Xiao Zhiyi ate it bit by bit, his pale lips, stained with pastry crumbs, were indescribably sexy. Chu Zhuyu only felt dry mouth, and even the air became more and more stuffy.
After eating one piece of pastry, Xiao Zhizhi has spontaneously picked up another piece of pastry and put it in Chu Zhuyu's hand, "feed me."
please! This guy is just taking an inch, stealing and eating so openly, of course.
After thinking about it, she still fed him the second piece of pastry, "This is the last piece, and you won't be allowed to eat anything here for a while."
Having said that, after a moment, a woman's voice kept coming from the kitchen—
"How can you hold the puff pastry?"
"… "
"Hey, this bird's nest takes a long time to cook, you can't eat it casually!"
"… "
"It's over, it's over, if the general knows about this, I'll be beheaded."
"He won't cut your head off."
"Don't you say no?" Chu Zhuyu stared at Xiao Zhizhi hard, and once again warned herself that she must never be sympathetic, and she must never be soft-hearted. If she really wants him to continue eating these things, then she The head will move tomorrow.
"You go out quickly, if Sister Tao and the others see you later, I will be in trouble." More importantly, she has to rearrange the things he "stolenly ate" to achieve the effect of concealing it.
"Okay, go out quickly, or wait for me in my room, I'll be there in a while." She continued to push him out of the kitchen.
He was unmoved, clearly rejecting her proposal.
Outside the kitchen, there was the sound of footsteps, and Chu Zhuyu panicked. God, could it be Sister Tao and the others coming back
Chu Zhuyu was in a hurry and could only say: "You can quickly find a place to hide in the kitchen, or fly over the eaves and walls while others are not paying attention. You are not very skilled in martial arts, aren't you?"
"Are you worried about me?" His eyes were bright.
"You've eaten so much, I can't even try to cover it up for you. But Sister Tao is usually pretty good to me. I'll make an excuse later to see if I can perfunctory it. Anyway, don't let them see you. ." After that, she ran outside the kitchen and closed the kitchen door.
"Hey, Zhuyu, why did you come out?" Sure enough, Sister Tao and the others had already walked to the door, and when they saw Chu Zhuyu, they hurriedly said, "Didn't I let you watch the fire? What if the fire went out after you came out? "
"Sister Tao, here..." Chu Zhuyu tried hard to think what kind of excuse to use. "Just now, a lot of mice came to the kitchen."
"What, mouse?" Sister Tao and the cooks behind them were anxious and wanted to run inside.
Chu Zhuyu hurriedly stopped her, thinking of continuing to delay Xiao Zhizhi for some time, "It's a bit messy here, I'm afraid there are still mice. If so many people go in, the mice may be frightened and scurrying. Why don't you let them in again later."
"Zhuyu, get out of the way!" Sister Tao said, pulling Chu Zhuyu aside.
"Yeah, there are mice in it, so we should go in sooner!"
"I don't know how the food prepared for the general was tossed!"
Several cooks said anxiously, and followed Sister Tao into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the man who should have disappeared is still in the kitchen at the moment. Under the eyes of everyone, there was no sense of panic at all, but he stood naturally, and he actually still held the bowl of bird's nest in his hand.
Chu Zhuyu wailed in her heart, only to feel that the lie she just told was all spent.
Xiao Zhizhi walked straight to Chu Zhuyu, handed the bird's nest to her hand, "feed me."
In this case, is it time to feed the bird's nest? She only felt powerless, and she had to say to Sister Tao with a smile: "Sister Tao, he... He only ate these things because he was hungry, he didn't mean it... "
Wait, why is Sister Tao's eyes so strange? Chu Zhuyu thought to herself, not only Sister Tao, but also the cooks, all had strange eyes, and there was some kind of awe and fear on their faces.
Before she could think about it, she saw Sister Tao's trembling lips spit out a sentence: "General... General, why did you come to the kitchen in person?"
What? !
Chu Zhuyu only felt dizzy for a while.
The next moment, I saw Sister Tao and the cooks respectfully kneeling in front of the man with the bird's nest in his hand, and said in unison, "Welcome the general back to the mansion!"
