Chapter 484: Here She Comes
Yang Ruo was in the kitchen with Aunt Sun in the imperial dining room, studying Gongsun Jin's recipes, completely unaware of what was going on outside.
"Chef Yang, the prince is awake, Mrs. Hou asked you to pass the meal." A slender woman with a disc face and big eyes came over to speak, and Yang Ruo hurriedly responded. "Hey, got it, thank you Miss Chunying." As she spoke, she carefully took out the porridge that had just been boiled in the stove, and then put the small bowl on the plate, and then served it out together.
Chunying smelled the fragrance, couldn't help twitching her nose, and said with a smile, "Auntie, what kind of porridge are you boiling, why is it so fragrant." ”
Aunt Sun said with a smile: "This porridge of ours is not an ordinary porridge, I think the prince must have a great appetite after drinking it." She replied, only to recognize that the person was Chunying, a first-class maid beside Mrs. Hou, and couldn't help but say another word. Why did Miss Chunying come over by herself, you just send a little girl over. We're almost ready here, and we'll send it to my son right away. ”
Chunying's eyes looked at these dishes one by one, these dishes were dim sum, there were dishes, but they smelled very good, and they were not particularly greasy, and they were very suitable for patients to eat.
After reading it, Chunying also put her mind at ease, she looked at Aunt Sun and said with a serious face, "Auntie said with a smile." Childe is the lifeblood of our wife, and now that Childe is not feeling well, how can we be slaves and maids not do more than we do our best, so I would rather walk a few more steps by myself and come over to see it in person. ”
Aunt Sun nodded, and brought all the side dishes they prepared to the tray one by one, and when Chun Ying finished inspecting them, they would be brought to Gongsun Jin's room by the subordinates. They prepared a total of five or six dishes, including soup, porridge, and side dishes, which looked like a lot of variety.
Aunt Sun cut some chopped green onions by the way when the little ones were about to serve the porridge, and they were about to sprinkle them into the porridge, but they were stopped by Yang Ruo. "Auntie is slow, my son doesn't eat...... He is not easy to eat chopped green onions. Yang Ruo said half of the words, felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly changed her words, although the voice was vague, but she never thought that half of what she said was heard very clearly by Chunying, who was standing aside.
She couldn't help but glance at Yang Ruo slightly. Xindao, how did she know that the princess didn't eat green onions.
She hurriedly observed Yang Ruo's complexion, but saw that the expression on her face did not change in the slightest, as if she really said the wrong thing unintentionally just now. Immediately, Chunying was relieved, thinking that she might hear from the people below.
They went to the Hou Mansion to wait for the Prince's food, presumably, they would also inquire about the Prince's appetite and preferences in advance.
Yang Ruo noticed Chunying's searching gaze, and his heart really jumped suddenly, and his heart was so dangerous, he almost fell into it. She is not afraid of anything, but what she is afraid of is that people know that she and Gongsun Jin knew each other before, and they are afraid that they will say something gossip.
These women who live in the inner house, they have no wind, they all have to start waves, not to mention, they do know each other, and they are very familiar with the relationship.
Originally, Yang Ruo didn't expect that she would accidentally bump into the Hou Mansion this time, and it was Gongsun Jin who was sick, she couldn't help but be surprised. Hasn't Gongsun Jin's health always been very good? How could he get sick.
And Gongsun Jin was sick this time, and he was very serious, not only did he lose a lot of weight, but he didn't eat a drop of water for two days, and he vomited whatever he ate. Mrs. Hou, who was in a hurry, was in a hurry, and even after the imperial doctor saw it, he took the medicine, but it still had no effect.
Just when he was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, he didn't want the emperor to know about Gongsun Jin's affairs, so he immediately sent Lord Si Zheng from the imperial dining room to send a few people to the Hou Mansion to regulate Gongsun Jin's body.
Recently, the imperial dining room was busy for the upcoming military parade, and there were also people there, so they temporarily sent Aunt Sun out, and after Aunt Sun and Lord Si Zheng discussed, they went to the Imperial Dining Division to pick out a few chefs with good cooking skills, as exercise, and brought them out.
After Yang Ruo arrived at the Imperial Catering Division, he was given the weight of General Manager Jiang, so he was sent over this time. Originally, Hao Mingyue would have sent it over, but she refused on the grounds that her hand injury was not healed. Because she knew that they were going to the Hou Mansion this time, and after the last time the Lord of Mengcheng incident happened, it was Gongsun Jin who handled the matter. Gongsun Jin had seen her at the scene.
If Hao Mingyue was interested, he would not go to the Hou Mansion again. She was also secretly annoyed in her heart, and this opportunity to be in the limelight was given to Yang Ruo again. But what could she do?
After arriving at the Hou Mansion, after Yang Ruo and Murong Jie met, they also pretended not to know each other in advance, and she called him Murong Gongzi like others.
Murong Jie's eyes when he looked at her were gentle and polite, and from the outside, he couldn't tell that they knew each other.
Yang Ruo retracted his eyes, turned a few thoughts in his heart, and hurriedly explained in a light voice: "Son, this flavor has just opened a little, and the green onion has a spicy taste. According to the recipe, it should be light and not easy to recall. It is advisable to eat less and more, not to be greedy, so it is best not to put chopped green onions in this clear porridge. ”
Although this porridge is said to be clear porridge, it is not white porridge, which was painstakingly added by Yang Ruo several flavors of Chinese herbal medicine, in order to cover the medicinal taste of traditional Chinese medicine, she made the lean meat into minced meat, seasoned, put it into the porridge and add tender green vegetable foam to boil together. Therefore, after the porridge is served, there is a particularly strong aroma and a faint aroma of green vegetables wafting out.
Seeing that what Yang Ruo said made sense, Aunt Sun nodded hurriedly, and echoed: "It's still Miss Yang who is careful, fortunately she reminded me, otherwise I would have almost made a mistake." Yang Ruo replied: "It's nothing, this is what we should do." ”
Chunying couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that Yang Ruo was not old and talked generously, and she could still get praise from Aunt Sun.
Yang Ruo went to the Hou Mansion with a group of kitchen ladies last night, she was serious in her work, and she was especially good at taking care of people, she was the vigil last night, and she has been taking care of Gongsun Jin by her side.
Now even today, she has a faint dark circle under her eyes.
Chunying is a first-class maid beside Mrs. Hou, and among the subordinates who serve in the house, she is considered to have a very high status, and today she came to pass the word, which shows that Mrs. Hou attaches great importance to her son, and she is not allowed to be sloppy. And when Yang Ruo and Aunt Sun were cooking there, there were also people watching them, and after the dishes were served, they had to be checked.
"Alright, you guys can serve the food." Chunying commanded.
According to the rules, the waiter who is waiting for the master's meal must follow a person. Yang Ruo saw Aunt Sun's tired face, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, you rest, I'll go and wait for my son to eat." ”
Aunt Sun is about forty years old, and she got up to prepare as soon as the morning dawned, and she was busy for nearly three or four hours, which was indeed enough. She glanced at Yang Ruo gratefully, and saw that her thin little face also had obvious cyan under her eyes, and Aunt Sun couldn't bear to say: "You kept vigil last night, why are you embarrassed to let you go today, or I'll go by myself." ”
Yang Ruo didn't insist anymore.
However, Aunt Sun walked a few steps before she fainted. Fortunately, Chunying's eyes were quick, and she helped her on the side, so that she didn't fall. So they ordered someone to help Aunt Sun to her room to rest.
Because it was for Gongsun Jin's diet, the people in the house were doubly careful, Chun Ying saw that Yang Ruo was the only one left here, and hurriedly said: "Then you will follow me, where you go, don't say much, what the prince asks is what it is." ”
Yang Ruo hurriedly lowered his head and answered, "Yes!" Then he followed Chunying unhurriedly.
They walked all the way, and most people would take the initiative to stop when they saw Chunying, say hello to her, and call for sister. Seeing Yang Ruo, they glanced at her curiously and walked over.
Gongsun Jin's residence is the best east garden in the Hou Mansion, sitting north and facing south, and a piece of green bamboo is planted outside the courtyard. Walking past from here, I saw an elegant and chic courtyard, hidden in this verdant green, giving people a feeling of brightness.
There were a few guards standing neatly at the entrance of the East Garden, and after Chunying passed, the guards over there made their debut.
Murong Jie then also walked out of it and saw the two of them.
"Murong Gongzi, we got Madame's order to pass food to Gongzi, after Gongzi got up, is he better?"
Murong Jie glanced at Yang Ruo, who was following Chunying, and ordered someone to send the dinner plate in, and then said, "Thanks to Chef Yang's care last night, it's much better today." After Murong Jie finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Ruo thoughtfully.
Yang Ruo lowered his head and said, "Murong Gongzi is polite, these are what slaves and maids should do." ”
Murong Jie nodded and said, "Then it's bothering Chef Yang to make dishes for the prince." ”
Yang Ruo nodded slightly, followed behind Chunying, after Chunying walked into the room, took out the silver needles prepared in advance, and tried the bowls before ordering someone to bring those dishes to Gongsun Jin.
"Son, please have breakfast. These were prepared by the lady all morning. After Chunying tried the dishes, Yang Ruo laid out the dishes outside, and Chunying brought the porridge to Gongsun Jin's door.
Gongsun Jin has been groggy in his mind since he felt uncomfortable that night and got drunk, and he also felt that he was in his sleep and seemed to see Yang Ruo. When he woke up in the morning, he thought to himself for a while, and said in his heart, he was really sick this time, and he even had hallucinations.
Gongsun Jin didn't want to eat it, but smelling the fragrance of the porridge, he actually had a little appetite.
"Well, bring it in." Hearing Gongsun Jin's voice, Chunying was overjoyed, she was about to bring it in, but was quickly picked up by Murong Jie.
"Miss Chunying, just give me the porridge, you should know the rules of our son-in-law."
"Yes!" Chunying's face turned red, and after speaking, her eyes turned a little red. Thinking of being said by Murong Jie in front of so many people, she felt a little aggrieved in her heart.
But Gongsun Jin doesn't like women to take care of her, this is a rule that everyone in the Hou Mansion knows. But just now Aunt Sun said that Yang Ruo, what is the matter with the vigil for Gongsun Jin.
With a little doubt, Chunying could only wait on the sidelines. But in her eyes, Yang Ruo will look a little dazzling.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Jin's appetite today was surprisingly good, he ate the porridge for two consecutive nights, and he also drank some of the other appetizing soup.
"Applejack, have we changed the chef in our house? The dish is so delicious. ”
Murong Jie secretly said in his heart, sure enough, it is still the dish she cooks, which is the most suitable for your appetite. Of course he didn't tell him, these were all things that Yang Ruo had done for him. Otherwise, I don't know how he would react.
