Zhou Shuo said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I'll make some. What if he wants to eat it?"
Liu Ming was worried and wanted to go down with her, but he was also worried about Mu Ci, so he waved his hand and called a maid over: "Go! Take the young mistress to the kitchen and tell Aunt Zhang to help her."
The maid responded quickly and led Zhou Shuo downstairs.
Zhou Shuo jumped and skipped, looking around as he walked.
"What's your name?" she asked the maid beside her.
"Madam, my name is Xiaoling." Xiaoling smiled, revealing a shallow dimple on her left cheek, which made her look very cute.
"My name is Zhou Shuo." Zhou Shuo introduced himself.
Xiao Ling was stunned. Why did the young lady tell her her name? Did she dare to call her by her name?
This young lady seems a little different.
"Madam, the kitchen is this way." Xiao Ling hurriedly pulled Zhou Shuo, who was walking in the wrong direction, over.
Zhou Shuo smiled and said, "This place is so big. If I were alone, I'd probably get lost."
Xiao Ling said hurriedly, "I got lost when I first came here and was scolded several times by Aunt Zhang. Madam, if you walk around more often, you will get familiar with it in a few days."
Zhou Shuo asked with a smile, "Who is Aunt Zhang?"
"Auntie Zhang is the housekeeper sent by the Madam. All of us are under her command." Xiao Ling replied.
Zhou Shuo nodded and lowered his voice: "But Aunt Zhang has to listen to Uncle Liu, right?"
Xiao Ling nodded heavily, said "hmm" softly, and couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Shuo also smiled and moved closer to Xiao Ling. The two of them seemed to share a secret and became intimate as they walked all the way to the kitchen.
Xiao Ling shouted to the people busy in the kitchen, "Young Madam is here!"
There were four people in the kitchen. They all put down their work and looked at the two people.
Xiao Ling introduced Zhou Shuo, "Young Madam, this is Mrs. Zhang who is in charge of the kitchen and is mainly responsible for the young master's food. This is Sister Kong, this is Aunt Wang, and this is Sister Jin."
Everyone stood up hurriedly: "Hello, Madam."
Zhou Shuo also smiled and said hello: "I want to make something to eat for Brother Mu Ci, you guys go about your business, don't worry about me."
Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, I've always been in charge of the young master's diet. I'm afraid he won't be used to what others cook. Otherwise, why don't you wait a few days until he's familiar with his habits before cooking."
Is this a blatant rejection?
Zhou Shuo smiled innocently. "No way, I'm going to cook it for my brother today. If he dares not eat it, I won't let him off. If he's not used to it, he'll have to get used to it slowly in the future. Who asked him to marry me? If he marries me, he has to eat the food I cook!"
The four cooks, including Xiao Ling, couldn't help but gasp.
This young lady, is she probably a fool?
Did she really understand the young master? How dare she say that about their young master who was like the King of Hell?
Mrs. Zhang didn't buy into Zhou Shuo's naiveté at all.
She said with a forced smile, "Madam, I was sent by Madam to take charge of the young master's diet. Madam said that the young master is in poor health and his diet cannot be taken lightly. It must be carefully prepared. If you want to make food for the young master, you should ask Madam first. Only when Madam agrees can you do it!"
This clearly shows that he doesn't take Zhou Shuo seriously.
Zhou Shuo smiled and nodded: "Mrs. Zhang has a point, but——"
She paused, picked up a small cabbage, casually pulled off a leaf, and sighed: "This is the home of your young master and me. I was chosen by your old man to bring good luck to your young master. Well, I am also a proper young lady. I wanted to cook a meal for your young master to make him happy, but since that's the case, forget it. I won't do it anymore. I'll go ask the old man, am I really a young lady? Or just a decoration? If brother doesn't like me, then we can just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau again tomorrow and exchange the marriage certificate for a divorce certificate."
She put down the vegetable leaves, clapped her hands, and without even looking at anyone, turned and left with a look of disappointment on her face.
"Madam, Madam." Sister Kong on the side quickly stopped her.
She smiled widely, "Young Madam, don't worry. In fact, Mrs. Zhang didn't mean anything else. We were all personally selected by the old man and his wife. We have a heavy responsibility and dare not be disloyal to our duties."
She turned around and glared at Mrs. Zhang, then smiled and said to Zhou Shuo, "Young Madam, I think it would be better if Mrs. Zhang made the usual recipe for today, and you also made a few of your specialties. When it's time for dinner, the young master can have whatever he likes. This way, he will have a few more dishes to choose from, and I think the young master will be happy too. Mrs. Zhang has also completed her work. What do you think?"
Zhou Shuo looked at the smiling middle-aged woman and nodded with a smile: "Well, I think this is a good idea. Sister Kong is so smart. Why didn't I think of it? I made the lady angry for no reason. It's all my fault."
Sister Kong smiled and said, "Look at what you said. The young master must be very happy that you can come to the kitchen and cook for him. What do you need us to do? Just tell us."
Zhou Shuo knew when to stop and took the opportunity to back down. He smiled and went to pick out the food from the food area, waving Xiao Ling to come and help him.
Sister Kong behind her lowered her voice to persuade Mrs. Zhang: "We still don't know what the eldest young master thinks of this young mistress. You come up and use the lady to pressure her. What if you offend the young master and he gets angry, even the old man can't control him. Do you think the lady will bother with the young master for you?"
Although Mrs. Zhang understood, she refused to accept it. "She's just a girl from the countryside. She can't even hold her own, so what good can she make? Our young master won't eat her cooking!"
"Please say less!" Sister Kong said gritting her teeth.
Mrs. Zhang shut up angrily.
Sister Kong signaled everyone to go to work.
Zhou Shuo, who was picking vegetables, curled up the corners of her lips. Her five senses were unusually sharp, and she heard every word the two people said.
My brother is so pitiful. There are so many monsters around him.
Zhou Shuo used the available ingredients to simmer a pot of soup. After adding the main and side ingredients, he smiled and instructed Xiao Ling, "Stand here and watch over me. No one is allowed to touch my soup, or I will hold you accountable! If your young master is willing to drink this soup tonight, I will let him reward you!"
Her smile is as clear and pure as a child's.
Xiao Ling quickly stood up and promised: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely complete the task!"
Zhou Shuo ran briskly down the stairs to the fifth floor. It was time for Mu Ci to start the acupuncture.
Mu Ci looked at the tablet in Liu Ming's hand and saw everything in the kitchen.
Liu Ming hadn't expected these people to be so rampant, so he quickly consoled them, "Master, don't be angry. I'll teach them a lesson later!"
Mu Ci said calmly, "Uncle Liu, don't worry about it."
The calmer Mu Ci's tone was, the more it showed that he was angry. Liu Ming changed the subject: "How did you sleep just now, Master?"
"Very good!" Mu Ci had to admit it helplessly.
What has this girl learned over the years?
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had such a dreamless, deep sleep.
