I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

After Dingxiang went outside the mansion to find Cheng Yu, she relayed Cheng Yu's intention to the eldest lady and sent a maid to deliver the message.

Said, do everything according to what Cheng Yu said.

Finish the task at hand first.

In addition, the eldest girl, Zhao Rulan, specially asked Zhu'er to bring four or five young girls from Yinlan Garden to help in the pastry shop.

The pastry shop has a complete range of items.

It is still a typical house with a shop in front and a house in the back. Those who keep watch at night can sleep in the backyard. In the past few days, the sisters of Yinlan Garden have all lived in the backyard.

In order to take care of everyone's food and drink, Cheng Yu also brought Hehua and Taozi to live in the backyard of the pastry shop.

It took half a month to complete the quantity of cakes that Mr. Cai Kun wanted.

"I'm really sorry to bother you all during this period of time. I agreed to borrow your money for half a month. I absolutely cannot bother you any more."

"How about having a buffet in our backyard tonight?"

Cheng Yu originally wanted to cook more food, but then he thought there were too many people.

Zhu'er brought five girls with her, and with her there were six people in total. There were Cheng Yu, He Hua and Tao Zi, making a total of nine people in total.

Originally, Cheng Bin wanted to come and help, but Cheng Yu thought that the people doing the work were all girls, and if there was suddenly a man, the girls would not be able to do their work well, so he did not let him come.

When Zhu'er heard about food, she was very happy.

"We will all follow your instructions."

"Yu'er, don't feel sorry for us. We came here to work, and you paid us wages, which is not cheap."

Cheng Yu chuckled and asked everyone to continue working while she went to prepare dinner and asked Taozi to buy some peach blossom wine.

Peach blossom wine is a sweet wine. It makes you feel drunk but not intoxicated. It has a sweet taste and Cheng Yu feels like drinking a beverage.

Cheng Yu worked until dark and prepared the buffet.

There were grilled meat pieces, grilled fish strips, and various small cakes, all neatly arranged, looking very beautiful. There were also plenty of fermented rice wine, tea, and fruit drinks.

There are also vegetarian dishes, stir-fried and cold.

Fried French fries, potato chips, and braised meat.

There are so many kinds of things that it’s dizzying.

Lotus, who has always been calm, has seen many ways of eating along with Cheng Yu, but this is the first time she has seen a so-called buffet.

"Miss Yu, your way of setting up the table is so unique."

"The main purpose is to let everyone eat as much as they want. You have all worked hard during this period. Eat and drink well tonight. I will arrange a carriage to take you back tomorrow."

Several young girls ran up to Cheng Yu.

"Miss Yu, you are really amazing."

"Miss Yu, can we really eat whatever we want today? I want to eat that cake with flower petals inside. I want to buy two boxes when I leave so that my mother can try it."

Cheng Yu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning, I will prepare two boxes for each of you to eat."

"Everyone, stop standing there and go choose your food and eat."

"Let's have dinner."

The girls were very happy, and Cheng Yu urged Lotus and Taozi to eat and not to bother her.

Cheng Yu brought a cup of peach blossom wine, picked up a piece of grilled fish, took a few skewers of grilled meat, found a place to sit down, and after Zhu'er had made her choice, she stretched out her hand and called her over.

Zhuer sat down and looked at Cheng Yu, "Yuer, I'm not praising you, you are really amazing."

"When we first arrived, we were in a mess. But within two days, you arranged everything in order. Now everyone is very skilled in making these pastries."

Cheng Yu took a sip of peach blossom wine.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

"Zhu'er, after the cakes are made, the shop will have to wait until after the New Year to open. During this time, you can go to find Sister Ziwei and ask her to help you. If the shop is opened after the New Year, the eldest lady will naturally choose someone to manage the shop. You may have the opportunity to come out."

Pearl sighed.

"Yu'er, not everyone has your good fortune. Let me tell you, if the Lu family hadn't had an accident at that time, the eldest lady would have prepared this in advance. Otherwise, if you wanted to be free, you would have to wait another three to five years."

"I am useless, and I dare not resist when the big girl holds me in her arms."

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhang. Even if I redeem myself and leave the mansion, I still have to wait two more years."

Zhu'er also wanted to go out and work early, but the eldest girl had no intention of letting her go.

Regarding the eldest girl's thoughts, Cheng Yu suddenly thought clearly. It should be the maids around her, especially those who were easy to use, who left her one after another. Naturally, she was unwilling to do so.

The master is the master, and the maid is a servant after all.

The master is good to you, but he may not understand the situation of a current person.

"So what did you say to Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Yuanjie is not young anymore. If he is asked to wait a few more years, I am afraid he will change his mind.

Everyone can change their mind, let alone men who are most likely to change their mind.

Zhu'er took a bite of the barbecue, as if she had made a great decision.

"I told him, if you are willing, you can wait for me for two more years. If you are not willing to wait longer and get married, I will not blame you."

Liking someone feels the same as eating a delicious dish, very happy.

It’s even happier than eating delicious food.

But the feeling of losing is so painful.

She would have to eat a hundred pig trotters to make up for it.

That evening, the girls were busy in the pastry shop, eating and drinking well, and they were busy until late at night.

At this time of night, I heard a knock on the door.

Taozi went to take a look and saw the person outside the door. She knew him but she was not familiar with him.

"Call your Miss Yu out for a moment."

Taozi turned around and ran into the house, whispering something. Cheng Yu had drunk a few glasses of wine, and his face was flushed, but he was not drunk, and his steps were still steady.

"What's the urgent matter at this hour?"

Cheng Yu muttered something and walked out the door, letting Taozi continue eating.

When she opened the door to the backyard, she saw Zhao Shiyan standing at the door in black. He was very tall, and she had to look up to see him even if she stood on tiptoe.

"My Lord, what brings you here so late at night?"

Zhao Shiyan looked at Cheng Yu's face and asked, "Did you drink?"

Cheng Yu hummed, "Today the sisters are happy, so we drank some wine. It's okay. I get drunk easily, but I don't get drunk that easily."

Zhao Shiyan frowned, “I don’t want to talk to a drunkard.”

Cheng Yu curled his lips and said, "Then why are you still looking for the drunkard?"

Zhao Shiyan chuckled, "You are sharp-tongued, but judging by your appearance, you are definitely not drunk."

Look, he's here, but he doesn't even tell her what he wants to see her about.

Cheng Yu asked directly, "My Lord, what exactly is the matter that you are looking for me for? Is there something wrong with the eldest lady or with my brother?"

"Can't I take a look at you?"

Cheng Yu was speechless. He just stood there and said softly, "Look as you like."

Zhao Shiyan had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but it was obviously difficult to say them at this time, because no matter what he said, Cheng Yu would refuse.

But if he didn't ask some questions, he wouldn't know what Cheng Yu's attitude towards him was.
