Su Xubai was ill for three days. During these three days, there was nothing going on in the capital. The emperor was busy dealing with matters in Huizhou and had not dealt with Hu Sheng and his party.
In the past three days, Hao Jiaojiao came every day, but Su Xubai no longer wanted to see her. He trapped himself in the study room without eating or drinking. Mrs. Su was so anxious that she wanted to kick Hao Jiaojiao out.
, if Mrs. Sun hadn't kept stopping her, she would have scratched Hao Jiaojiao's face.
Early that morning, Isatis Lan walked in carrying a food box: "Master!"
Su Xubai sat on the soft couch, holding a book in his hand without raising his eyes.
Siam looked at Su Xubai's appearance, sighed slightly, and then said softly: "Master, my wife is in another courtyard. I heard that you were sick, so she asked Forsythia to bring soup!"
Su Xubai, who had always lowered his eyes, paused, then slowly raised his eyes: "Didn't I tell you not to tell her?"
"We didn't tell you. We heard about it when Forsythia went shopping!" Woad took out the duck soup and side dishes from the food box, "The duck soup made by my wife smells delicious! Master, come here.
Eat some?"
Su Xubai, who had been sitting on the soft couch for a long time, finally put down the book in his hand. When he was about to get up, he felt dizzy because he hadn't eaten for several days and almost fell to the ground.
Isatis had quick eyes and quick hands, so she quickly helped Su Xubai support her: "Sit down, take a rest, and I'll bring the soup!"
Su Xubai slowly sat back, his eyebrows and eyebrows were light.
Ji Lan found a small table, put the snacks and duck soup in the food box on the small table, then brought it to Su Xubai and put it down: "My wife has cooked everything that I like to eat.
The oil and water on this old duck soup has been skimmed cleanly, and it is very light! I think it must be to my liking!"
Su Xubai looked at the dishes placed in front of him, especially the bowl of thick white porridge, with a piece of fresh tea leaf carefully placed on it. It was very tempting at first glance.
Su Xubai picked up the spoon and took a sip of the porridge, and laughed: "Well, it took a lot of effort to cook something like this!"
Seeing that Su Xubai started to eat, Shilan let out a long breath, and relaxed his frown, and after a long time he said: "I am willing to eat, that lady has worked so hard."
It’s not in vain!”
"Well, this porridge has a scent of tea. I'm a little greedy. Let me make a pot of tea!" Su Xubai looked at the porridge in front of him and said lightly.
Isatis responded and hurried out.
In the yard, Mrs. Su looked on eagerly. When she saw Isatis coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
"After eating, he said he wanted to drink tea, so he asked someone to make a pot of tea!" Woad also let out a long sigh of relief.
"Come here, hurry up and make a pot of tea. Remember to make something that Fifth Master likes to drink. Don't make the wrong one!" Mrs. Su quickly ordered.
The maid in charge of making tea in the courtyard responded and hurried away.
Mrs. Su stroked her heart and breathed a long sigh of relief: "As long as he is willing to eat, it will be fine. This person is like iron, and his food is steel. If he is willing to eat, it won't be a big deal!" Mrs. Su felt relieved.
He came down and said, "The cooks in the Meng Family Courtyard are really amazing!"
"It's made lightly. It's what I like to eat!" Isatis was also happy, and her frowning brows relaxed.
Mrs. Su finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt disgusted when she thought of Hao Jiaojiao fussing in the kitchen: "The daughter of the Hao family really doesn't have any rules at all. She keeps fussing around the house every day. If I hadn't stopped her
I'm afraid I wish I could live directly in Lao Wu's yard!"
Thinking of Hao Jiaojiao, even Ji Lan, who rarely had emotions on weekdays, became a little unhappy: "Let her go back. If there is nothing to do, don't come all the time. I'm not happy at all, and I always come like this. It's inevitable."
Disgusting!"
"Who says it's not the case!" When Madam Su thought of Hao Jiaojiao, she felt her head hurt, and she felt extremely uncomfortable, but this person was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking tightly to her body, which was annoying.
sharp.
Not long after, the maid brought the tea that had been brewed. Su Xubai didn't want to see anyone these days, so anything was brought in by Isatis. Isatis took the tea, and when she was about to go in, she heard
When Xu Ziqing shouted: "Hey, wait!"
Xu Ziqing walked over quickly, and when he saw Madam Su, he gave a junior salute: "Auntie, let's come to see him. I heard that he has been ill for several days!"
Madam Su was startled when she saw them coming. Then she remembered that Madam Sun had just said that people from the Yongchang Hou Mansion and Ningyuan Hou Mansion were coming. She responded at that time, but she was only thinking about Su.
Xu Bai's body was forgotten.
Mrs. Su quickly said: "You even came here specifically to see our fifth child. You are really thoughtful!"
Xu Ziqing glanced at Meng Shaoqing next to him and smiled: "We are all colleagues, isn't that how it should be!"
"Let's go, let's go. By the way, today it's all thanks to the cook in Meng Shizi's courtyard. The food he cooked is particularly suitable for Lao Wu's appetite. It can be considered as something to eat!" Mrs. Su said and looked towards
Meng Shaoqing.
Meng Shaoqing was originally brought here by Xu Ziqing. He wanted to get involved and leave later, but now, Madam Su said this, so he had to smile and agree: "Really? It was also me a few years ago.
Father and the others are good at choosing, my parents have very good tastes, and the cook they hired is also better!"
Mrs. Su didn't think much, said a few words and left.
The juniors were talking together, and her staying here would only embarrass them, so she didn't stay any longer, said a few words casually and left.
As soon as Xu Ziqing and the others walked into Su Xubai's house, they smelled the fragrance. Xu Ziqing couldn't help but sigh: "Meng Shaoqing, the cook in your other courtyard is really good. The soups he makes are so fragrant. I can't help but sigh."
I often go to your villa, but why have I never tasted this?"
"The cooks in our other courtyard are not capable of this!" Meng Shaoqing found a chair and sat down, "Look at the exquisite side dishes, they must have been carefully prepared. The soup has no oil or water at all, and the duck bones are so crispy.
, I can’t make this soup without simmering it for seven or eight hours!”
Xu Ziqing was stunned for a long time: "Isn't it made by the cook?"
"Of course not, it was Cheng Chun who did it!" Meng Shaoqing laughed, "Mr. Su is so lucky. When he gets sick, there is a wealthy lady in the house who doesn't want to be famous and comes to visit all the time. There is also a Huizhi Lanxin outside the city.
My little lady, you are so lucky!"
Xu Ziqing was a little surprised: "Why, the rumors outside that you have a new little wife are all true?"
Meng Shaoqing looked at Xu Ziqing and did not explain.
