“My mother.”
Madam Yuan’s voice softened, “What did your mother ask you to do to Min’er besides ask you to come and see her?”
If Zhang Yao was a smart person, she would have heard the intention in Madam Yuan’s words, but Zhang Yao was not too bright in the head and didn’t hear it at all, not only that, she also tilted her head and thought carefully, “My mother said that she told me to look at Min’er’s wound after I came, blow on her and wipe her with a hanky, then she would be able to wake up.”
Mrs. Yuan’s hand tightened as she took her hand and her tone became even softer, “Then does Yao’er have her hankie with her, Uncle Yuan take a look.”
“No, I lost it when I got back, it was a new handkerchief my father bought for me, I bought several of them, I liked them all, but I lost them.”
Mrs. Yuan’s face went cold inch by inch.
Mrs. Zhang hurried back and saw that Mrs. Yuan was still talking to Zhang Yao, lest she should tire her out, “I’ll take Yao’er to see Min’er one last time, you rest for a while, we’ll come back later.”
Mrs. Yuan seemed to be really tired and nodded feebly, “I’ll also trouble Yao’er to put incense on Min’er.”
“I should.”
When the mother and daughter left, Lady Yuan looked at the spot where Zhang Yao and Lady Zhang had just sat, and a monstrous hatred burst out of her eyes.
……
“Little girl, what are we having for lunch?”
Gu Yi sneaked in while Dr. Yao was getting up to go to the toilet.
Little girl had made him so much jelly and pudding, Gu Wen had “snatched” some of it and given some to Xiao Si, and yesterday he had wasted a lot of it luring Dr. Yao, so he didn’t have much left.
He didn’t want to give any more to Yao Dafu, so he had to sneak in when he wasn’t around.
Song Wangyue pretended to read the medical book for more than an hour and was long tired of reading it.
“What do you want to eat?”
“Anything you make.”
“Make you spicy skewers.”
It was the first time Gu Yi had heard this name and his eyes lit up as he was about to find out what the spicy skewers she was talking about when Xiao Si whispered outside, “Young Master, Doctor Yao has returned.”
As Xiao Si’s words fell, Doctor Yao had already seen him and came over in three steps, “Xiao Si, did young master sneak in again?”
Since he had already been discovered, it was impossible to sneak out again, so Gu Yi sat down on the chair in a big way.
When Doctor Yao took a step in, he said unhurriedly, “Doctor Yao, watch your wording, this young master came in openly and honestly.”
Dr. Yao poked her in the face without mercy, “Young master, you don’t even believe me when I say that! If you had really come in openly and honestly, why would you have taken advantage of my toilet break?”
“I didn’t want to either ……”
Gu Yi was frank and honest, “But you happened to be away when I came, do I have to ask Xiao Si to go to the toilet and pull you back?”
Dr. Yao, ……
I had eaten jelly and pudding yesterday and was not satisfied, I had thought that today Gu Yi would come over again and take the opportunity to stop him and ask for some more.
But looking at Gu Yi’s attitude, it was not possible to ask for more today, so he had no qualms about it. He coughed and straightened his body, “In that case, young master, please go out, the time for Miss Song to rest has not yet arrived.”
“I’ll stay with her.”
“That won’t do, human acupuncture points are fundamental to learning acupuncture, in case you misremember them, you will cure the patient to death. It’s better for young master not to disturb Miss Song.”
“It’s better.”
Gu Yi pretended to stand up and asked in passing, “Yue’er, what ingredients do you have to prepare for the spicy skewers you mentioned?”
Spicy skewers?
Freshly prepared food?
Dr. Yao’s ears perked up.
“You asked them to prepare ……”
Halfway through the words, seeing the sky outside, Song Wangyue swallowed back the words that followed, “Forget it, I’ll go back when I’ve finished watching, the hour is not enough, it’s better to wait until another day when I’m free.”
Having experienced the deliciousness of the jelly and pudding, Doctor Yao could not hold back, who knew if Miss Song would still have the heart to make them another day?
“Also ……”
Gu Yi had just said one word when he was covered by Dr. Yao’s voice, “Miss Song has been watching for over an hour, it’s about time, let’s call it a day for the morning, let’s continue in the afternoon.”
Song Wangyue curled her mouth, but still said in a serious and “surprised” manner, “Is this bad? I’d better watch for a while.”
“Let’s stop here, I happen to be tired and want to rest for a while.”
“All right, then.”
Song Wangyue “reluctantly” put down her medical book and walked out of the house with Gu Yi, heading towards the front door.
Xiao Si was about to follow, but was pulled back by Dr. Yao, who quickly stepped out and waited for Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue to walk out the door before he lowered his voice, “Before the spicy skewers are ready, come over and call me in advance, if you dare not call me, you will be squatting in the toilet for a day.”
Xiao Si didn’t dare to say no, he couldn’t stand it even if he squatted for an hour, not to mention a day.
This was the first time Song Wan Yue came in, she used to make jelly and pudding for him in Gu Yi’s small kitchen.
The people in the kitchen hastily saluted and then stood anxiously to one side, wondering why Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue had suddenly come into the kitchen.
The kitchen house was well stocked with ingredients, with all kinds of vegetables and meat.
After looking at them, she gave Gu Yi a gesture, “I need bamboo sticks this long and this thin.”
Gu Yi immediately instructed Xiao Si to lead the men to get them.
Song Wangyue asked the kitchen staff to select the vegetables and set them aside, and asked two of the cooks to make chicken balls and meatballs.
She made the soup for the spicy hotpot herself, thinking that Gu Wen could not eat spicy food, and made two flavours, one spicy and one bone broth.
When she had almost finished making the two types of soup, Xiao Si returned with bamboo skewers, and Song Wan Yue asked the cooks to skewer the cleaned vegetables onto the bamboo skewers.
When all this was done, she remembered an important thing, she didn’t know if there was a pot for eating spicy skewers.
“Do you have a charcoal-fired pot at home?”
“What kind, I’ll ask Xiao Si to get it.”
This was no more.
Song Wangyue slapped her head in remorse, how could she have forgotten about the pot, could it be that the family would be allowed to eat around the pot table?
“It’s impossible to eat.”
“Why is it inedible?”
As soon as the fragrant pot base was made, Gu Yi had already gulped down a lot of saliva, and when he heard that it was inedible, he became anxious.
“I forgot that there is no special pot for cooking spicy skewers, we can’t eat around the pot stove, right?”
“Why not? I have a small stove in the courtyard there, let Xiao Si burn the fire and we’ll both eat.”
Little Four, who was also drooling with greed, ……
It could only be so, Song Wangyue once again slapped her head with remorse and had the soup ingredients and dressed skewers all carried to Gu Yi’s small kitchen, poured the two kinds of soup ingredients into two separate pots, raised the fire, and when the soup boiled, put part of the skewers in.
The fragrant smell wafted out and into Gu Wen’s courtyard.
“What’s that smell?”
Gu Wen asked as she inhaled her nose.
The maid also inhaled, “It seems to be coming from the young master’s yard.”
“Help me to go and see.”
The maid helped her over and just as she walked into the courtyard, Gu Yi inside the kitchen house saw it and lowered her voice, “Little maid, my second sister is here to bring us silver again.”
Song Wan Yue, ……
