When I arrived at the side hall, the dishes were brought out from two carrying boxes. There were eight dishes and one soup neatly, bright in color and tempting to eat.

only--

"Master, madam!" Gui's mother sighed softly, "These dishes are a bit cold, and I'm afraid it will damage your stomach if you eat them. Why don't you take them to the kitchen and heat them up!"

Mrs. Shi San frowned and said, "Isn't there hot water in the suitcase to keep it warm?"

Gui's mother hurriedly said: "It's been released, maybe it took a long time to deliver it, the old servant just tried it, and the water is not hot anymore."

When the third lady stepped forward to take a look, these dishes were indeed not even steaming, they touched the edge of the plate and bowl, they were warm.

"Forget it! Take these dishes and share them! It's not good to reheat them again! Just ask someone to go to the kitchen and get us a bowl of noodles!" Madam Shi San sighed.

Their family lived in the warm Sichuan area for many years, and the weather was already uncomfortable enough when they came back. Looking at the cold and unheated dishes, even though their stomachs were growling, no one still had the appetite to eat them. You look at me and I look at you, both agreed with Mrs. Shi San's opinion.

Gui Mama hurriedly agreed, thanked the master, and asked someone to pack up the dishes and take them to the wing room for everyone to share. Gui Mama herself laughed and said: "Master, Madam and the two young ladies will wait a moment, and this old slave will go to the kitchen immediately." Give me an order!"

Mrs. Shi San laughed and said: "You can just ask a little girl to go, why don't you go yourself!"

"Little girls, what do you know? If you don't explain clearly, you may miss the master's business! Let the old slave go, this is also the old slave's job!" Mother Gui laughed. She has long wanted to find a chance to give the servants of the mansion a blow, but now that it's on the market, how can she give up?

Mrs. Shi San smiled acquiescingly, and sighed secretly in her heart: After all, he is an old man who has been with him for many years, he can think of his master first in everything!

"Mother Gui, hurry up, I'm so hungry!" Shi Yulin pouted.

Mother Gui was even happier after hearing Shi Yulin's words. She patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Miss Si, this old servant will be back soon! Just order chicken noodle soup, what do you think, Master and Madam?"

"Hurry up and come down, eat whatever you have! Don't bother too much!" Master Shi San said lightly.

Mrs. Shi San glanced at him without saying a word, and only told Mama Gui: "Go!"

Mother Gui hurriedly agreed, wrapped her cloak, carried a lantern, and left the gate of Ji Cui Xuan's courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, Mama Gui slapped her head and remembered something terrible. She is getting old and her memory loss, and after so many years, the layout of the mansion has changed slightly, and it was night again. I can't tell where the kitchen is!

Mother Gui is an experienced old servant, so of course she wouldn't do such a stupid thing like turning back to ask her master—isn't that nothing to blame!

She thought about it, and decided to walk slowly according to the directions in her memory, and to ask people when she met them on the way.

After making up her mind, Mother Gui tightened her cloak and walked north along the path at the door.

Mother Gui had to admit that she was really old! In other words, the government has changed too much. Going around, the scenery she saw on both sides was all specious. Two quarters of an hour passed, and she still hadn't even touched the side of the kitchen!

The masters are still hungry and waiting to eat! Gui's mother suddenly became anxious and became more and more flustered. People are so unlucky that drinking cold water is too stuffy. Gui's mother accidentally fell down again, and she almost burst into tears with an "ouch" in pain.

"This terrible weather! It's far worse than the Southwest!" Gui's mother got up and patted the dust off her body, rubbing her sore buttocks and complained. Complaints are complaints, and the kitchen has to be searched.

"It's broken! Such a big mansion, why didn't a girl and daughter-in-law come across it!" Gui's mother was burning with anxiety. But she didn't want to, it's this time again in such a cold weather, who has nothing to do but warm up in the house and run out to drink the wind?

As soon as she raised her head, a little moving light finally appeared after being covered by the flowers and trees in front of her. Mother Gui seemed to see the straw of life-saving, and hurriedly rushed over there without caring about her feet.

"Girl, is there a shorter way to the kitchen from here? It's dark and the old lady's eyes are dazzled for a while!" Mother Gui finally caught up and asked the two little maids with a faint smile.

One of them pointed in the direction and said with a smile: "You always pass this way, go around the corridor in front, turn left next to the two big pomegranate trees, and you will see it a section ahead!"

"Hey! Thank you two girls! Are you two girls working on errands so late?" Gui's mother smiled casually.

"Well, I'm sending something to the eldest lady! Please keep asking!" The two replied and went together.

Gui's mother breathed a sigh of relief, following the girl's guidance, sure enough, the scene in her memory gradually revived, Gui's mother was overjoyed, this time she finally found the right one!

"The two sisters-in-law are here! Come and order a bowl of noodles for our master, madam and miss!" Gui's mother opened the door and went in. Seeing that there were two servants, she said with a smile.

The kitchen has turned off the fire at this time, and everyone who should go home has also gone home. Today, these two people should stay on duty to tidy up. It was about to pack up and go home, but an unexpected guest came unexpectedly!

The two maids looked at each other, and immediately felt a little unhappy. The one in the maroon dress asked with a smirk, "This mother looks quite unfamiliar. I wonder which one is on duty?"

Mother Gui was anxious all the way, fell down again, and was afraid that she would go back and be scolded if she delayed for a long time. She was feeling uncomfortable, and she was not happy when she heard this, so she also laughed and said, "Why is this sister-in-law looking so clean?" You're talking nonsense! Could it be that you don't know about the return of the third master and the third wife? You can't think of this when you look at me strangely?"

"Hehe! We are stupid people, how could we think of it! You are not as smart as sister-in-law!" The man replied in a neutral tone, and nunuzui said: "There is still some charcoal fire in the stove, noodles and vegetables, ham, meat and so on It's all in the cupboard, do it yourself!"

Mother Gui's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry!" Another woman in navy blue clothes said with a smile: "We have generously let you use the kitchen, and you are still not satisfied! This is an important kitchen! If it is changed to someone else, we will return it to you." No! I said sister-in-law, hurry up if you want to use it, we have to go back! You can’t let us stay here for too long in this cold day, right? We’ve been tired all day!”

"Exactly!" The jujube red clothes snorted and said again: "Didn't you already send someone to deliver food to the third master and the third lady? Did it not suit your taste or what? By the way, why didn't you bring the box and bowls back to us?" ? That's good, the tableware hasn't been sent back, but I'm here to eat again!"

"We are also very busy, not only serving your master!" The man in navy blue clothes said again: "In other courtyards, we send people to pick up the food, but our people deliver it to you. Not enough!"

"That's right, look at your nose is not a nose, and your eyes are not eyes, you are picky, and you have been serving outside with the third master for a few years, what are you talking about!"

"Hmph! It's so nice outside, what are you doing back here!"

"Shut up!" Gui's mother was so angry that she sneered and said, "Master's affairs can be arranged by servants? I think you are tired of work!"

Not to be outdone, the two asked Mother Gui together: "Which ear of yours heard us arrange the master? It's all your fault and you're blaming us instead! Oh, we've already done what we should have done, what else do you want?" ? Picking our noses and eyes at us, you are right! Even when it comes to grandma, it is the same reason!"

"Okay! Let's go to Grandma right now! I want to hear what Grandma has to say!" Gui's mother was so angry that she felt dizzy.

"You are so ignorant!" The man in the red dress said again: "Are you idle all day long as a grandma, just hanging around you? You don't even know what time it is, but you still want to trouble grandma!"

"Yeah, sister-in-law, you are too angry! You are going to sue us just because of these two sentences? We are not the little girls who sweep the floor and do chores. We are inseparable from the kitchen in this new year." Let us go!"

"That's right, it's the New Year. I really don't know why some people are so angry, shouting and killing at every turn! Do you want to beat all the servants in this house and drive them out to take advantage of your wishes?" ah!"

"Hey, don't say it, don't say it! Who are we, how can we compare with others! Be careful when they sue, we are the ones who are unlucky!"

Gui's mother was trembling, and she was too angry to speak. After a while, Fang held back his breath and said: "I won't talk to you about such nonsense that I can't return to the master, so I quickly put down the noodles so that I can bring them back to the master and wife! The food you sent is cold, and the master and wife didn't eat it. I'm still waiting with an empty stomach, you better hurry up! Humph, if you don't do it, that's okay, don't blame me, just go find grandma! I still don't believe it, even if the master doesn't eat, he wants to eat a bowl of noodles, it's hard No way, I can’t eat anymore!”

The two looked at each other, and glared at Gui's mother bitterly, so they could only start to make a fire and wash the pot in a low voice.

"If you want chicken noodle soup, hurry up! If the third master and the third wife blame it, it's not a big deal to offend the two servants! Grandma can't even say anything!" Seeing that they finally moved An Shuang, who was so angry that he wanted to kill their prestige severely, deliberately made things difficult.

The woman in the red dress put down the firewood in her hand, and said with a dark face, "Where is the chicken soup? How can I serve you chicken noodle soup at this time!"

Mother Gui snorted, "Then I don't care, this is your business!"

The woman in the red dress sneered angrily, "That's a good thing! Then sister-in-law, you can wait slowly! Let's boil hot water and kill chickens to make soup!"

"You!" Gui's mother became angry again.
