Several little girls working in the kitchen were chatting animatedly.
Xiaoshuang and Xiaotang also blushed and chatted together to join in the fun. Nanqing held her own small bowl and drank porridge while listening to their conversation with her ears.
I don’t know which bold little girl dared to sneak to the front door during lunch break and witness the eldest son going out.
"Are you going or not?"
"I...I'm scared."
"Why are there so many people? And it's definitely not just us who are going, but also the maids from other courtyards."
"Last time I went there with a sister from Xiyuan Kitchen, and then I saw the eldest son's back from a distance."
"Is the eldest son good-looking?"
"That's of course. You must know that the daughter of the prime minister's family wrote a poem for our young master. The sight of the young master's back disturbed people's hearts."
Several girls blushed and smiled.
"It's agreed that we'll go together at noon. Don't be afraid. We won't be discovered if we go further away. And it's impossible to get closer. The young master is surrounded by guards."
"Okay, I want to go."
Xiaoshuang also pulled Xiaotang Nanqing: "We are going too, please take us with you."
"Okay, okay, let's go together."
Nan Qing was drinking porridge from a bowl in one hand. She looked down at her hand that was being held, and then at Xiao Shuang, who looked excited.
Gee, Xiaoshuang is really what she likes.
Nan Qing had been guarding the pot of soup all morning, and the cook looked at it a few times.
"Well, the heat is very good. It must not be too high. Just keep it simmering like this."
"Yes, I understand." Nan Qing replied obediently.
The cook saw that the new little girl was so well-behaved and liked it. She reached out and took out a piece of freshly fried pork and handed it to Nan Qing: "Eat it."
Nan Qing was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and took it with a smile and ate it quickly.
Time flies by so fast, I doze off and add firewood to the fire, and it will be noon.
Nan Qing got up and planned to eat with the crowd.
But Xiaotang came over: "Xiaoqin, let's leave quickly."
"Huh?" Nan Qing looked confused.
Xiaoshuang: "Don't eat now. Let's go to the gate now. I heard that the young master is going out. Let's come back to eat after watching the young master."
Nan Qing is very hungry, and I heard that there are crispy meatballs at noon today.
Oh, for the mission.
Nan Qing followed a group of little girls.
The Xie Mansion was very big, and it took a long walk to reach the gate. Panting, Nan Qing squatted behind a flower bed with the others.
Nan Qing looked around and found that, as those little girls said, there were many maids from other gardens coming here to secretly watch the eldest son.
"Why hasn't the eldest son come yet?"
"The carriages are outside the door. The young master must be coming soon."
"What color clothes do you think the young master will wear today?"
"I guess it's white. Who doesn't know that our young master looks gorgeous in white?"
"..."
"Shh, stop talking, someone is coming."
I saw many people walking on the broad main road in the distance, and the most dazzling among the crowd was the tall and slim man in white.
The sun was so bright that Nan Qing could only squint his eyes to see.
Xie Lingmu is wearing a white embroidered brocade dress today, with gold thread embroidered patterns on the cuffs, and a piece of light green white jade on her waist.
"Sir, the carriage is ready."
"Um."
Xie Lingmu walked past, and suddenly he stopped and raised his head slightly.
"Who's over there?"
His voice was slightly cold.
The maids hiding in the flower bed watching people were startled.
