Volume 2: Feng Xiang Wu Yin Chapter 30: Cooking
Ye Lianqiao and Ye Muxiang walked into the courtyard with a mischievous grin, and ran into Zhu Miaotan who was walking in from the other direction. The two of them exchanged a glance, and simultaneously said with a smile: "We've met, Great Manager Zhu~"
"Go!" Zhu Miao didn't know what kind of personalities the two had, but this time they were the happiest to come out. "Laughing so slyly, what bad thing did you do again?"
"Yeh Lianjiao shouted loudly: 'It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing! A good thing!'"
Ye Mu Xiang smiled mischievously: "It's just that I chatted with Young Master Tang for a few sentences, and Young Master Tang is really a true gentleman!"
Zhu Miao wiped away a sympathetic tear for Tang Qiusheng and reminded him, "Young Master Guiyan doesn't know where he is, and since you're out, try not to stir up too much trouble, lest it affect the mood of the two masters."
"Got it." The two of them stuck out their tongues, and with their delicate and lovely appearance paired with this silly expression, ordinary people wouldn't have the heart to scold them.
"Go." Zhu Miao Jie smiled and let the two of them off.
The two of them happily ran into the courtyard.
The next day, the sun rose to mid-air, just at noon, Tang Nian's eyes opened dazedly on the bed. Unexpectedly, without touching the familiar warmth, her eyes cleared up in an instant, which was one of the fastest times she woke up.
"Solitary Goose?" Tang Nian looked around but didn't see any sign of Cui Lingshu.
Outside the door came Zhu Miao's voice, "Has the mistress awakened?"
"En." Tang Nian herself put on her shoes, sat on the bed, and saw the door being pushed open. Zhu Miaoqi walked in with a smile and asked: "Does the mistress want to sleep some more? The master is coming right away."
This was the first time Si Ling Gu had woken up without him by her side.
Tang Nian shook her head, "No need." She then put on her clothes herself. Zhu Miaoqi saw this and didn't stop her either, clapping her hands to let the servants bring in the washing utensils.
Tang Nian had just finished washing up, when Zhu Miao came over with a comb, "Madam, let me help you with your hair?" As soon as her hand moved, Tang Nian instinctively dodged and turned to see Zhu Miao looking slightly stunned. Tang Nian took the ivory comb from her, "I'll do it myself."
She doesn't like being casually touched by others, but thinking back, from the beginning of her weak relationship with Si Ling Yu Hong, she has gotten used to it.
Tang Nian carefully combed her beautiful hair, looking a bit distracted.
Zhu Miao watched from behind, a flash of inspiration in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile secretly. It seems that the mistress is thinking of the young master, right? So it's not for nothing that people say "long-time companionship breeds affection". The young master and mistress have been inseparable for a year, now they're just apart for a moment, and they can't get used to it?
As usual, Tang Nian tied up her hair in a simple bun and stood up from the dresser. For a moment, she didn't know what to do next.
Zhu Miaoji took the opportunity to probe and persuade: "Master, why don't I take you around to have a look?"
Tang Nian's eyes flashed, "Good."
Zhu Miao's eyebrows rose in delight as she led the way. Tang Nian walked quietly beside her, thinking to herself that yesterday she had probably drunk too much Mei flower wine. This Mei flower wine was clear and smooth, fragrant but not greasy, not only intoxicating with its aroma, but also making people linger and forget their worries. She had drunk cup after cup like it was water, and then what had happened?
"The master bit that person..." Lü Lü dutifully answered for Tang Nianian.
"Oh." Nian Nian Tang bit her tongue again, but it wasn't the first time. She thought for a moment and didn't mind anymore.
Unconsciously, Tang Nian had followed Zhu Miaoqi through the plum forest and was walking on a small path with few people. Tang Nian looked at Zhu Miaoqi suspiciously, wondering if she had guessed something?
Zhu Miao blinked, suddenly stopped and whispered: "Didn't the mistress say yesterday that the food in this Hansheng Mountain Villa is not as delicious as the one in the villa? And she also misses Zeng Shifu from the villa!"
Tang Nian suddenly remembered and nodded. She had indeed said those words before.
Zhu Miao saw Tang Nian's calm expression and was speechless. Madam, you don't know that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener has intention. You don't know that Master Zhuang's possessiveness towards you is getting stronger and stronger, how can others' words be casually spoken? Fortunately, Sheng Shifu is not here, otherwise he would cry, really!
Zhu Miao's heart was filled with countless thoughts, but her face didn't change at all. She pointed to the small hut in front of them and said to Tang Nian in an even more mysterious tone: "The master is inside, Madam, why don't you sneak a peek?"
"Sneak a peek?" Tang Nian's eyes flashed with caution. What thing still needs to be sneaked a look at?
Zhu Miao nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
Tang Nian carefully looked at her several times, feeling no malice whatsoever, and only then did she secretly take a look. Her movements were personally taught by Si Ling Gu Yun, combined with exquisite control, the distance of 100 meters was covered in an instant, like snowflakes falling to the ground, without any ripples or sound.
Tang Nian fell onto a evergreen tree branch not far from the house, half closing her eyes and spreading out her spiritual awareness, she could clearly see the scene inside the small cottage.
This small hut is a kitchen, with ingredients piled up everywhere, and piles of medicinal materials. The stove fire is burning vigorously, with a black pot on top emitting smoke, inside which the green vegetables are appetizing in color, and the fragrance is wafting through the air.
These dishes were normal, the only one that didn't match was the man with white clothes and a godly aura. At this time, his calm expression made Tang Nian look at him seriously, seeing him holding a spatula in one hand, occasionally stirring the dishes in the pot, his slender fingers on the black spatula handle looked even more striking.
Tang Nian stared blankly, until the man's gaze shifted slightly, seeming to see through all obstacles and glance in her direction, she suddenly came back to herself, withdrew her spiritual sense, and silently fell from the treetop back to Zhu Miao Ti's location.
"What's going on? Mistress, what did you see?" Zhu Miao actually knew what Siling Gu was doing inside, but didn't have the chance to see the specific process, and now she was very curious. Actually, when she first heard about Siling Gu's plan, she couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart, but soon comforted herself: after all, it wasn't the first time that Master Zhu had made an exception for Mistress, so what's going in and out of the kitchen?
Tang Nian's expression was somewhat strange, and he walked back and forth, ignoring Zhu Miao's curious inquiries until they reached the courtyard, where he finally muttered a sentence, "Is Gu Huang under stimulation?"
In her knowledge, the old monster would only do things he wouldn't normally do after being stimulated. Although she had a different common sense from others, she also knew that men generally didn't cook.
Zhu Miao didn't expect to wait for so long only to hear such a sentence. Although she felt that Tang Nian's words made sense, after all, she was also shocked at first? But on the surface, not a hint of it showed, and she smiled: "The mistress is joking, Master Zhu went into the kitchen for you too!"
To say I'm stimulated, it's also because of your sentence that stimulates others.
"For me?" Tang Nian looked at her skeptically.
Zhu Miao nodded, "Of course it's for the mistress. Because the mistress doesn't like cold plum wine with her meals, that's why the master of the house personally went to cook."
I thought Tang Nian would be moved, but unexpectedly, Tang Nian was speechless with a face of "is that it?"
Is that it? Zhu Miao Jie, you're the one who should be reacting like this. Shouldn't you be moved to the point of blushing?
Tang Nian asked in a low voice, "Is he very free?" Before Zhu Miaoqi could refute, she nodded to herself. Well, looking at his appearance, it seems that he is indeed quite free, every day except for being with himself, he doesn't do anything else.
Seeing Tang Nian's determined look, Zhu Miao also had nothing to say. How could she have forgotten that the mistress's thoughts were never comparable to those of ordinary people? It was really a case of good intentions leading to bad consequences. Fortunately, these words hadn't been heard by the master of the house, or he would have been heartbroken too.
