Chapter 39 The sour look can no longer be hidden
"Miss, Yu Ge has something to report." Luo Kui hurried into the room and said.
Xiao Jiuyue had just taken a sip of water when she heard this unfamiliar name and felt a little dazed for a moment.
"Miss, Yu Ge is Mother Yu's son. He sent Madam Gan to the ancestral hall before." Lianxin explained immediately.
Xiao Jiuyue understood and asked, "Is it that clever boy?"
"Yes, it's him." Lianxin replied affirmatively.
Not long after, Xiao Jiuyue saw Yu Ge. He was thin and small, but his eyes showed that he was smart. If his character was good, he would be someone who could be used.
"Miss." Yu Ge didn't know what Xiao Jiuyue was thinking. After bowing, he told her what he had discovered, "I suspect Madam Gan is having an affair."
Lianxin tried hard to keep her mouth shut, afraid that she would scream. Why did she have to listen to scary things all day long?
adultery?
This is going to be a case of being thrown into a pig cage. Mrs. Gan must be really bold, right?
Lianxin looked at the young lady silently, but saw that she was only slightly surprised and did not seem shocked at all. She couldn't help but admire her in her heart: The young lady is the young lady!
"Is there any evidence?" Xiao Jiuyue's cold voice sounded, her eyes fell on Yu Ge's face, as if thinking about the truthfulness of his words.
"The eldest lady ordered me to look after Madam Gan. Someone came to visit Madam Gan in the middle of the night yesterday." Yu Ge said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly, and admitted his mistake, "It's a pity that the food my mother sent yesterday was too delicious, so I missed it."
Xiao Jiuyue: "..."
"But my mother and I found a man's shoe." Yu Ge knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake, saying, "My mother saw the shoes and knew they must belong to a servant or a domestic servant in the manor."
"Miss, I'm wrong. I only have suspicions, no evidence." Yu Ge admitted his mistake and added, "Don't worry, Miss. I won't take a nap today and will keep a close eye on Madam Gan. If anyone comes, I'll report it immediately!"
"How can you be sure that it's a servant from the mansion?" Xiao Jiuyue asked, glancing at Lianxin and saying, "Call Mama Yu."
Yu's mother was waiting outside. Yesterday, Yu Ge didn't do his job well, so Yu's mother beat him up severely. As soon as he came in, he started to apologize.
"Mother Yu, tell me about the affair." Xiao Jiuyue interrupted her confession and asked, "How sure are you?"
Mother Yu was silent for a while before she said, "Eighty percent!"
"Miss, these days, in addition to those people from Shengjing, there are also rumors about the maids and servants in the old house. However, since Madam Gan often sold them out in the past, those people didn't dare to say anything." Mother Yu's main job was to deal with these people.
Combined with the rumors, Yu's mother felt that this was not a guess at all, but a fact.
"Mother Yu, today, find two old people from the old house who are reliable and tell Xiao Song about them." Xiao Jiuyue said.
Mother Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, Miss. I will do everything perfectly and will ensure that no one will suspect anything."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Yu Ge, and Yu Ge immediately said, "Miss, today I will definitely turn a blind eye."
Xiao Jiuyue's lips moved, but she didn't say anything else.
After lunch, she wrote down the recipes for all four dishes in clear detail, and waited for the chef chosen by Manager Zeng to come and learn how to cook the main dish, and then she would teach him carefully!
As for the remaining dishes, Xiao Jiuyue also picked a few. The main dishes were easy, the only difficult part was the dim sum!
Although the ancient times were backward, the food was not ambiguous at all. There were all kinds of candied fruits, date cakes, chestnut cakes, wheat cakes, Chongyang flower cakes and other snacks. She was dazzled by them!
The most important thing is that the snacks are exquisite and beautiful.
Take the jujube paste pastry for example. The one made by Mei Ren Niang is crispy when you put it in your mouth, and the jujube paste is sour and sweet. It does not contain any food additives, but instead allows you to taste the original flavor of the food.
She had to think of two outstanding desserts, which really took up a lot of her brain cells. She deeply felt that silver was not so easy to earn in ancient times, but at the same time, it also made her more passionate and motivated!
Making money in a challenging way is what makes it interesting.
Xiao Jiuyue simply put away the things he had written, looked at Lianxin and asked, "How are Jiayuan and the other two? Did they not quarrel?"
"No, Luo Kui just passed by and said that the two young masters were having a lot of fun and were writing seriously." Lian Xin poured her some tea.
Xiao Jiuyue thought about it carefully and decided to think about the game she had talked about with Xiao Jiayuan before.
"Sister, you're here!" Xiao Jiayuan saw Xiao Jiuyue coming and excitedly took out the calligraphy he had practiced and said, "Look, I didn't slack off today, and my writing is really good!"
Ten large characters on a stack of paper. Xiao Jiuyue was not a calligrapher, but the original owner had some research on calligraphy in her memory. She looked at it carefully and quickly found some flaws.
Xiao Jiayuan said seriously: "Sister, I will definitely not make the same mistake again when I write tomorrow."
"Jiachen." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Jiachen again. Xiao Jiachen was holding ten pieces of paper with large characters. His knuckles were white. He hesitated and didn't want to hand them forward.
Xiao Jiuyue didn't push him any further, saying, "Practicing calligraphy is a process of persistence. No one is born with the gift of good handwriting. As long as you make progress every day, you're successful."
Xiao Jiachen seemed to understand what he heard, and handed over the written words with a red face.
The moment Xiao Jiuyue saw the large characters, she instantly understood why Xiao Jiachen was embarrassed. These characters were truly unbearable to the eyes...
"It's well written." Xiao Jiuyue praised.
Xiao Jiayuan's eyes almost popped out. His sister didn't praise him just now, but praised Xiao Jiachen instead. He could hardly hide the sour look in his eyes.
"When I first learned to write, even the horizontal strokes looked like earthworms." Xiao Jiuyue's words made Xiao Jiachen's eyes suddenly brighten up, as if asking: Really?
"So, Jiachen, it's already pretty good that you can write like this even as a beginner. As long as you keep writing and make a little progress every day, your handwriting will get better and better." Xiao Jiuyue encouraged him, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As long as you start taking action, no matter how far you go, it won't be a problem."
"Yeah." Xiao Jiachen nodded heavily.
"Come, let's play a game today." Xiao Jiuyue put the written characters aside and said, "One frog has one mouth, two eyes, and four legs. It jumps into the water with a splash. Two frogs have two mouths, four eyes, and eight legs. They jump into the water with two splashes."
Xiao Jiuyue clapped his hands and looked at Xiao Jiayuan and said, "Take it."
"Three frogs, three mouths?" Xiao Jiayuan hesitantly replied. After receiving an encouraging look from Xiao Jiuyue, he continued, "Six eyes, twelve legs, and three splashes as they jumped into the water."
Xiao Jiayuan finished speaking with a stammer, then looked at Xiao Jiachen with a sigh of relief. Xiao Jiachen then continued, "Four frogs with four mouths, eight eyes, and sixteen legs, jumped into the water with four splashes."
Xiao Jiuyue was a little surprised. Xiao Jiayuan's arithmetic was obviously faster than Xiao Jiachen's.
