Chapter 72 Five Red Soup
"This soup is very good for a woman's body. Not only can she beautify her skin and replenish her qi and blood, it is also beneficial to her postpartum recovery. It can help her produce breast milk. When I make it later, can you please help me give it to my wife?
It can be regarded as a congratulatory gift for us today."
Su Xiaomu put the washed wolfberry, red dates, red beans and peanuts into the pot.
After the water was hot, she added brown sugar and boiled it. She estimated that the time was almost up before serving it to her grandma in a clean porcelain bowl.
There was always a faint smile on her pretty face, which made people feel very comfortable when they saw her: "A little thought, can you send it over while it's still hot?"
"Of course. Madam is so kind-hearted and has made such nice things for our wife. We are all grateful."
Grandma is old and well-informed. She can see that this soup is really good for the woman's health. Moreover, Su Xiaomu also gave her all the recipes, which shows that it is not a joke.
A bowl of soup was brought from the kitchen to the front hall. When it was handed to Mrs. Song, she was still holding the child in her arms. When she saw the red soup, she raised her eyebrows first, then took it and looked at it and said with a smile, "What a thoughtful woman."
People, bring them over here and show me."
Wuhong Tang, I haven't heard this name for a long time, but it still has a familiar taste, and it's even sweeter than she remembered.
She has gotten better and better at handling things in the kitchen these days, and the cooks she finds are more and more in line with her wishes.
After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Mrs. Song felt that her cold body was instantly moisturized.
——
Su Xiaomu didn't expect that the noble man would want to see her. She followed her grandma with a low eyebrow and couldn't help cursing in her heart.
In fact, her thoughts are not that pure. She just wants to make a good impression on the noble family and get more rewards by making Wuhong Tang.
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, she finally saw the noble man under the guidance of her grandma.
She is a woman who looks a bit older. Although she looks young on the face, she already has a lot of crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. She only has a little makeup on her face, making her look extremely dignified and beautiful.
Maybe it's because she just gave birth to a child. Although she looks a little weak, overall she still looks rich and doesn't dare to be underestimated.
"The lady does things so well. I thought she was a woman about the same age as me. I never thought she was so young. She is really formidable and makes people have to obey her."
Mrs. Song smiled with satisfaction as soon as she saw Su Xiaomu.
She kindly stepped forward and took her hand, and said harmoniously: "You are so good at your craftsmanship, would you like to stay in my house and be a cook? Don't worry, the monthly money I will give you will definitely be better than what you have in that official house."
There’s a lot in the shop.”
"Madam's kindness, I shouldn't refuse. It's just that my husband is a scholar, and now he has the reputation of being a scholar. He will go to take the exam in a month. As my wife, I should accompany you, so I can only refuse Madam's kindness.
.”
Su Xiaomu had never thought about working for others. She was an innocent girl, and of course she could not work as a slave or maid for others.
A lot of future and freedom are waiting for her, and she is not stupid.
"Oh? It turns out that my wife has a scholar as her husband. No wonder she already has such an attitude at such a young age.
How about this, if you work in my house for a month, I will pay you five or two months, so that after one month, you and your husband-in-law can rush for the exam together, and you can have some extra money to make your life easier."
Mrs. Song was still a little unwilling to give up, so she improved her treatment.
"For five or two months, no one in this city can charge that much except our family."
"It still doesn't work. My husband's house is in the village, and it's really troublesome to go back and forth."
Su Xiaomu shook his head and refused to agree, no matter what happened.
Gu Jingcheng is her perfect shield. Having said that, this lady can't keep pulling her back and telling her to ignore her husband's future, right?
"Well, the lady is devoted to her husband, so I don't know what to say. I just wonder which son is so lucky to get the lady as his wife?"
"He is a student from Tianchen Academy, his name is Gu Jingcheng."
Su Xiaomu knew very well that in this era, she and Gu Jingcheng were tied together, so it was natural to use him as a shield.
"It's him? Then I know that he is indeed a good and motivated student.
Don’t worry, madam, your husband is a capable man, and his future will be bright, and he will not waste your affection for him at the moment, madam.”
Mrs. Song was surprised by the relationship between Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng.
However, she then thought that it was normal. Both of them were good and motivated children, so it was natural for them to be destined.
In this way, she just wanted to give their couple a blessing. She would have a good talk with her husband later and ask him to take more care of Gu Jingcheng in the academy.
Although you don’t need to take care of yourself too differently than others, you should be a little more caring than usual.
Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. Song's face became even wider.
She tightened Su Xiaomu's hand and said to her: "My husband-in-law is the headmaster of your husband's academy. I like the recipe of Wuhong Tang you gave me today.
Later I will go and tell my husband-in-law that if he takes better care of your husband in the academy, I will return your favor."
"in this way……"
Su Xiaomu really didn't expect that Mrs. Song's husband-in-law had such a high status. No wonder Boss Zhang always emphasized noble people. This was really one of the most noble people in the city!
The headmaster of the academy is amazing.
You must know that whether in ancient times or in modern times, the status of scholars is very high. Isn’t there a saying?
Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.
"Oh, don't refuse my kindness, it's nothing.
Besides, my husband-in-law takes care of your husband-in-law because he has abilities. If he is a fool who cannot read, it will be useless to give him more preferential treatment."
Mrs. Song affectionately pulled her to chat about household matters. After half an hour, Su Xiaomu was coaxed into a coma by her soft words. She was still a little confused until the servants sent her out of the house.
"I don't know if Gu Jingcheng knows that I'm coming to his mountain chief's house."
She could be considered a secret back door for him.
Boss Zhang had been waiting for her at the door. When she came out, he came forward with great excitement and said, "Why did you come out so late, madam? But what other orders do you have, sir?"
"No, it's just that the noble man was kind-hearted and allowed me to chat a few words, and also rewarded me with some money."
Su Xiaomu took out the thirty taels of silver that Mrs. Song had rewarded her and gave ten taels to Boss Zhang. She was so frightened that Boss Zhang pushed the money into her arms again and again.
"Madam, what are you doing? Today, you have already rewarded me with a lot of money, but I haven't had time to share it with you. You are really hurting me."
Boss Zhang didn't dare to accept her money. The reason why today's work was done so beautifully was because of Su Xiaomu's craftsmanship.
It was too late for him to thank her, so how could he still benefit from her?
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you, Boss Zhang. I have something else I want to discuss with you."
