Soft and crispy waist

Nanny Zhao paused, looked at Xia Zheng intently, and asked, "Do you want to switch jobs with her?"

"Yes, I was also doing odd jobs in the kitchen when I was in the Marquis' Mansion. I won't delay the master's orders. What do you think, Madam?"

Seeing that Xia Zheng was trying to please and was determined to save Qiuying, Nanny Zhao did not try to persuade her.

Originally, I thought this girl was the most outstanding among the four, and she was smart, careful and capable. I thought she would definitely be successful, so I selfishly arranged her in the bathroom.

This water room is not just for boiling water, it is also used to deliver water to the master and make tea. As long as the head maid doesn't come to get it herself, the people in the water room will deliver it. When the young master comes, he can go in and show his face from time to time.

If the young lady is willing to give it a push, then everything will happen naturally.

He is a soft-hearted person and throws away opportunities that are right in his mouth.

"Okay, go to the kitchen if you want." Zhao Ma Ma waved her hand and left.

"Don't think I will thank you for this. I don't need you to save me!" After glaring at Xia Zheng, Qiu Ying pouted and walked into the bathroom.

The maids around looked at Xia Zheng as if she were a fool.

If you exchange your good job for a bad one, you must be stupid.

But no one would respond and everyone just continued doing their own thing.

"The mothers in the kitchen are very fierce, so be careful." Xia Zheng was about to go to the kitchen when a thin, mosquito-like voice sounded behind her.

Turning around, Chunzhi stood in the corner with her head down and her hands clasped.

Seeing that Xia Zheng didn't respond, he assumed she hadn't heard him clearly. He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and took two steps forward. "You...you must be careful when you go there, especially Chef Yang."

Xia Zheng didn't expect Chunzhi to come and remind her.

Chunzhi has always been timid. This is the fifth sentence she has said to her in five days.

"I understand, thank you."

Hearing Xia Zheng's thanks, Chunzhi's face turned red. She lowered her head even lower and stammered a few times before asking in a low voice, "Why did you save Qiuying? Mammy wouldn't really hurt her."

Does she know the inside story?

Well, since she was sent to the young lady for selection, she must have some connections in the Marquis's Mansion, at least she knows more than a fire-making maid like her.

But she just revealed it to her like that?

Is it out of pure kindness or...

"I didn't do it entirely to save her. I just wanted to go to the kitchen myself."

No matter what it was, Xia Zheng pretended not to hear it.

As for her reasons, she would not tell Chunzhi in detail.

But what she said now was indeed the truth, she wanted to go to the kitchen herself.

The young master was not obsessed with beauty. Even if it was his turn to serve tea every time he came, he would just take a quick look at her at most, and it was not even certain whether he would even look at her.

If you want to move up, you have to leave an impression on the young master that will catch his attention.

She remembered that the cakes that the young lady brought back when she came home were made by Wang the cook. She mentioned it and told the young master that it was very crispy and sweet.

In this way, if she could be in charge of the kitchen, if one or two of her pastries could please the young master, she would leave an impression, and he would even take a second look at her when she was mentioned later, which was a better chance than in the bathroom.

If that doesn't work, then think of other ways.

……

At Chen time, the morning had just dispersed.

Gu Yizi was surrounded by a group of ministers and walked down the stairs before bowing and saying goodbye to everyone.

"Young master, you are so awesome. Look, these old guys with their eyes on the top of their heads are bowing to you today." A hand climbed up Gu Yizi's shoulder along with the nonchalant voice.

Raising his hand to push it away, Gu Yizhi glanced at Qin Yang, who was still not in a proper state, and reminded him solemnly: "This is not the border. You are the eldest son of the Yongning Earl's Mansion and now you are also an official. Be more restrained."

Qin Yang curled his lips in annoyance. "I see, just like the old man in my family, Chengneng nagging."

Gu Yizi ignored him and walked forward.

Qin Yang quickly caught up. "The emperor's words today are equivalent to clearly declaring you the crown prince. You'd better hurry up and produce an heir soon, so that those old stubborn people won't use this as an excuse."

Gu Yizi didn't say anything, but his brows frowned slightly.

Offspring are indeed important to him now.

"If you ask me, those old stubborn people are just confused. You have been staying at the border since you got married, and you have only been back to Beijing for a few days. There are only three of you in the backyard, so it's not that easy to get one." Qin Yang paused, then suddenly realized: "Yes, if you add a few more, your chances will be greater, as long as you work hard..."

Gu Yizi said nothing, but stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Lord Yongning."

Turning around, Qin Yang saw his father standing in front of the palace gate. His face instantly turned blue and red, and he turned around and ran away.

Gu Yizi stepped aside to let Earl Yongning, who was catching up with him, straightened his collar, and got on the carriage.

After the car curtain fell, he still recalled what Qin Yang had just said.

Add a few more...

"Sir, someone from the young lady's side wants to ask if you would like to go to Fanghua Courtyard for dinner after finishing your shift today." The attendant asked outside the carriage.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yizi nodded decisively. "Go."

Gu Yizi walked into Fanghuayuan on the moon, and the food on the table had been heated up twice.

"The food is a little cold. Ask the kitchen to remake it." Tao Yurong personally took the handkerchief and handed it to Gu Yizi, while instructing the nanny beside her.

"Don't be afraid of the cold in the summer, just eat like this." Putting down the handkerchief, Gu Yizi sat down and started eating.

Tao Yurong did not insist. She signaled others to go out and sit opposite Gu Yizi. She reached out and took the spoon to serve him the soup.

"Don't just focus on me. You must be hungry after waiting for so long." Gu Yizhi put a roast duck leg on Tao Yurong's plate. "I remember you like duck legs."

"I didn't expect my husband still remembered it." Tao Yurong pursed her lips shyly, rarely showing the look of a little girl.

Although she and Gu Yizi were rarely together, Gu Yizi always treated her better than others and always treated her with the dignity of a legal wife. He remembered her preferences even when she was young and often brought her gifts when he sent letters home from the border.

If it weren't for that incident, everything would have been perfect.

"This lotus pastry seems to taste different from the previous ones." Gu Yizi picked up a piece of lotus pastry and looked through it carefully, looking for anything unusual.

Tao Yurong looked at the lotus cakes. They were indeed different from the ones in the small kitchen every day and more delicate.

"Young Madam, today's lotus pastry was made by Xia Zheng." Caiwei spoke at the right time.

Tao Yurong remembered that two days ago, Nanny Zhao came to report that Xia Zheng couldn't bear Qiu Ying being beaten, so she offered to change her job and go to the kitchen.

A subtle change flashed across her eyes, and then Tao Yurong took a piece of lotus cake and explained to Gu Yizi, "This Xia Zheng is one of the cakes my mother gave me a few days ago. She is the daughter of the mansion's cook and has good cooking skills. Since my husband likes it, she will make this cake in the future."

"It's up to you." After finishing the piece of lotus pastry he picked up, Gu Yizi didn't pick up any more.

The news soon reached the small kitchen.
