Without waiting for Mo Xiao to speak, Yang Zong shouted, "I've never heard of any restaurant's cooks taking a break in the daytime! Just let them do it. You entered Prince Su's Mansion, and you don't even recognize your own son?!"
"Of course I recognize her." Su Bei said coldly, "But my cook is also a human being, and the cakes made in a hurry don't taste good. I can't ruin my own reputation!"
"Don't forget, you are the maid of the Mo family, you belong to the Mo family!" Yang Zong shouted angrily, "If the cook can't do it, then you do it yourself!"
At first Cheng Shi thought Su Bei was someone's daughter, but after hearing this he found out that Su Bei was actually a maid in Prince Su's mansion.
It has to be said that Su Bei doesn't look like a maid. Instead, she is more generous, clean and refreshing than some ladies from wealthy families. She also has a calmness and composure that those girls in the boudoir don't have.
It's a pity that she is a servant girl.
Seeing this, Wen Xia took two steps forward and said, "Mr. Mo, our store has sold out of snacks today and is closing now. Miss Abei has to rush back to the palace, so I'm sorry I can't entertain you!"
Mo Xiao gently rubbed his hands on his knees twice, then said slowly: "Okay, I just returned to Beijing and wanted to see my little sister, so I'll go to Prince Su's Mansion with you!"
Su Bei bowed slightly and said, "Please do as you please, sir!"
The identity of this maid is really inconvenient. She is always inferior to others when she meets them. Su Bei is now thinking about getting a civilian identity as soon as possible.
Mo Xiao raised his lips slightly and said calmly, "Then please ask Miss Abei to get on my carriage so that I can take care of you on the way."
Bao Qiu bit his lip and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mo, this is inappropriate. Ah Bei is now with the prince. If the prince knew about this..."
"Humph!" Yang Zong said disdainfully, "You're just a maid, and you think you're a concubine? As far as I know, Prince Su didn't even give you the title of his wife!"
Cheng Shi couldn't help but say, "You, a servant, spoke before your master. If someone didn't know, they would think your master told you to say that!"
Seeing his blushing face just now and his handsome face, Su Bei couldn't help but think that he was an introverted and shy person, but he didn't expect that he was also a very sharp person.
As soon as he said this, Mo Xiao turned his head to look at Yang Zong and whispered, "Okay!"
Then he turned to Su Bei, with a smile on his lips, and said, "I am a bit abrupt. I was in a trance for a moment and thought I was still in the general's mansion."
Although there was a smile on his lips, his eyes were cold. Su Bei hated him even more. After hearing these words, people thought that the two of them had some relationship before!
She said, "Mr. Mo, why don't you go ahead? I'll go back after I finish my business in the store. There will be someone to entertain you in the mansion."
Mo Xiao nodded and was pushed out.
After they left, Su Bei bowed slightly to Cheng Shi, "Thank you for your help, my lord. Come back another day and I'll treat you to some snacks."
Cheng Shi's face suddenly turned red again, and he stammered, "No...no need...uh, no...I...I'm here to support you..." After he finished speaking, the base of his neck turned red.
Su Bei almost couldn't help laughing out loud, this guy is so funny!
After leaving the dim sum shop, Cheng Shi got on the carriage of Prince Jingnan's mansion. His servant asked in confusion, "Prince, what's wrong with you today? You never blushed when you talked to the girls in the past."
Cheng Shi leaned on the soft cushion, closed his eyes, and said with a hint of annoyance in his voice: "Shut up!"
"Oh." The servant lowered his head in disappointment.
Cheng Shi's pair of fine eyelashes trembled slightly, and his Adam's apple moved heavily. Then he suddenly opened the curtain of the car and watched the words "Nanbei Dim Sum Shop" disappear from his sight.
In the store, Su Bei was discussing with her store manager Yu Chunxia about hiring a few more cooks. Yu Chunxia was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Miss, there are still five apprentices now. I estimate that they will be able to help in the kitchen after learning for another month or so. Would it be too expensive to hire more?"
Su Bei said, "It's okay, buy them. The more the better. It's best if someone has experience in making snacks. If not, someone who is smart will do."
Yu Chunhe looked embarrassed, "Miss, I know you are kind-hearted and you pay your apprentices, but if you hire more, I'm afraid you won't be able to support the business no matter how good it is."
Su Bei just smiled faintly, "It's okay, just listen to me."
Currently, she only has two chefs available, and she doesn't want them to be overworked, so there aren't enough snacks to sell. Of course, this is also related to Chu Younan and Chu Youyang's constant help in bringing people to her.
Therefore, she is in urgent need of training mature chefs as soon as possible, instead of being in urgent need of making profits as Yu Chunhe thought.
However, Yu Chunhe was a very responsible store manager. She used to be a maid in a wealthy family. After being favored by the master, the mistress was afraid of her good looks and secretly sold her. Compared with the previous days, Yu Chunhe felt that the days in the Subei store were the most relaxing and enjoyable days in her life.
But she also has her own troubles...
Yu Chunhe touched her belly, felt melancholy for a while, and then went to work.
After leaving the store, Su Bei went to Xue's house. Because of her status, she didn't have much contact with those noble ladies, and those people were very arrogant. Only Xue Jinrong didn't treat her as a servant.
Because of Xue Jinrong's marriage to Prince Jin, and because Imperial Physician Xue had promised to make her mother the legal wife in the future, the situation of Xue Jinrong and her daughter was much better than before. All standards were met for the main wife, and a yard was specially renovated for them.
Xue Jinrong invited Su Bei to sit in the house. After serving tea and snacks, she started to complain, "Thank goodness you're here. You've been making me embroider wedding dresses all day long. My fingers are almost pierced like a sieve."
As she said that, she stretched out her hand for Su Bei to see.
Although he likes to practice martial arts, Xue Jinrong's hands are white and tender, not at all like Yun Xi and Yun Rou.
Su Bei sighed, "Alas! You can't go out? I asked you to help me think of a way to take me into the palace."
"Why did you come to the palace? Do you want to fight wolves?" Xue Jinrong teased as he took out a small jade bottle from the cabinet. "Here, you are injured, aren't you? This is the scar removal cream I made. When the scab falls off, apply this every day to keep your skin as white as jade."
Su Bei really didn't know whether to laugh or glare at her, so he had to accept it and said, "What wolf are you fighting? I want to find the emperor to fulfill the promise I made that day, but I can't enter the palace."
Xue Jinrong's eyes lit up, "Have you thought about what you want to ask for?"
"I've always known it! I want to be a commoner, not a maid." Su Bei said hesitantly.
Xue Jinrong was stunned. "In terms of status, you are indeed a maid, but in reality, the lives of ordinary people are not as good as yours. Besides, you are already the Su Wang's man, will he let you leave the palace?"
"It doesn't matter whether he is willing or not! What matters is whether I want to or not!" Su Bei's eyes were firm. This was in ancient times, otherwise she would definitely sue that guy for abusing his power to harass female subordinates!
So what if he's handsome? He has a wife, just don't be with him! Humph! Xue Jinrong thought for a moment before saying, "I can't take you into the palace. Unless I'm invited, I can't enter the palace. But I do have an idea."
