Chapter 549 Sir, Please Stay (11)
Deng Wenjie picked up a piece of fried black fungus and lotus root shreds, and it tasted really good. Each vegetarian dish was special in its own way, and the cabbage and tofu soup was different from what you usually have.
"Xiao Xi, since the prince has said so, there is no need to go to the kitchen."
"Yes, son."
Gu Moci hid in the lady's yard, and the only maids here were Gu Yuxi and a maid who usually cleaned the house. That maid and Mammy Cui went to serve the meal. Now there were only three servants, which seemed a little too few.
They are princes, they can't be left without anyone to serve them in the end, so she could only stand aside and wait.
“Who made these dishes?”
"Your Highness, I did it, and the maids also helped."
"I didn't expect that you are such a good cook at your young age. You must have made the cakes, right? No wonder Miss Deng likes them."
"It's just to please the lady."
Li Haozheng continued talking with Deng Wenjie and started eating later. After all, the beggar chicken was still in the hands of his secret guards.
After returning, Li Haozheng realized that he had eaten too much in the yard just now. However, the dishes cooked by the little maid were delicious. What he would face next was the chaos of swords and spears. He didn't know when he would encounter such a day.
Gu Yuxi and the others were sweating as they stood in a row and were being lectured by Deng Neng. Finally, Deng Neng patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, the prince will not blame us. He also enjoys eating vegetarian dishes. He is really generous."
"Grandfather, the prince likes these light dishes very much and praises them highly."
"Huh, you guys hit the jackpot by accident. You know the prince's taste."
Deng Wenjie touched his neck. In fact, the food cooked by Gu Yuxi was delicious and he ate a lot of it.
"Be careful next time. Be careful with what you say and do when you get to the capital."
"Yes."
"Everyone, go down. The maids and servants who cook will each receive one tael of silver."
"Thank you, sir."
Gu Yuxi and other servants left quickly. It would be fine if someone like Deng Neng was not angry. If he got angry, their entire mansion would be in trouble. It would be better for them to leave early.
Aunt Cui quickly received the silver from the accountant and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, the master is happy today, and we are also blessed by you."
Gu Yuxi had a sore back and waist. She lay on the bed and took the one or two taels of silver handed over by Aunt Cui. She massaged Gu Yuxi's back. After all, what could a nine-year-old girl do?
"Aunt Cui, can I have a day off? I feel so tired from working every day."
"When you get home, you can rest as much as you want, but Mammy can never leave you for the rest of your life."
"Mammy, I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life." Gu Yuxi let Mammy Cui massage his back. Life was inconvenient and it was not easy to escape from slavery.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just following the lady and the young lady."
Seeing that Gu Yuxi had fallen asleep, Aunt Cui pulled the quilt for her. She still had to stay by Deng Moci's side. If she called her in the middle of the night and there was no response, she would be scolded.
Three days later...
"My Lord, everything is packed. The items you need may arrive later."
"Well, clean up the place. We've lived here for about fifteen years."
"I know you miss this place, sir. We will come back to visit if we have a chance."
"Now we go to the capital, it is prosperous, but behind the prosperity it is not easy to walk."
"grown ups."
"I've been talking too much. It's time to set off."
"Sir, it's so lively outside."
"Mother, isn't the capital city fun?"
"It's fun, everything is fun. When we get to the capital, buy delicious food and beautiful clothes for Ci Ci."
Gu Yuxi and other servants tried hard to reduce their presence. Perhaps for many people, this meant leaving their homeland for the rest of their lives.
Officials were allowed to bring their families with them when they took up their posts, but Deng Neng simply could not bring so many people with him. Most of the concubines of the male masters had to stay in Mianzhou, and people were sent to pick them up after they were settled.
It takes about a month to get from here to the capital. Some servants have already made preparations in advance. If the carriage is fast, Deng Mansion will arrive in twenty days.
Now the second room is preparing to move a lot of things, because there are not many things in the first room, and there won’t be much to move later.
They slept in the open air and looked rather miserable, but if they did not hurry they would delay Deng Neng's term of office, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere.
"Why are the people from the second house so slow? You can only catch up slowly from behind. I can't wait for you."
"Father, I will leave with you. The guards will protect the women."
"It seems that this is the only way. There are so many people on your side and they are so fussy. The people on the other side of the house are not so particular. You are so picky about food."
"I have taught those women a lesson. If they do it again, I will leave them here."
"It's up to you. I have to go to the capital city in advance. You guys take your time." Deng Neng left after saying this. Aunt Mei felt aggrieved. After all, the baby in her belly was the flesh and blood of the Deng family. It was impossible for her to stay in Mianzhou to give birth and then set off for the capital city like that woman.
The man is unfaithful, and perhaps this separation will last a lifetime. She will not let the opportunity slip away from her.
"Xiao Xi, I want to eat delicious food."
"Miss, it will be warmer if we go south now. We can look for him if we meet him halfway."
Gu Yuxi could only take out the cold buns and beef slices and hand them to Deng Moci, as she was also hungry.
Next there will be a plot where the second wife encounters bandits. Aunt Mei blocks the knife for her husband and becomes the man's white moonlight. The heroine will attract attention because of her face that resembles her mother.
She carefully handed over the neatly packed beef slices with both hands, but the woman waved her hand to refuse. Seeing this, Gu Yuxi asked with concern: "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
The woman coughed a few times and said slowly, "I caught a cold recently, but it's nothing serious. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
At this time, Deng Moci, who was standing nearby, came forward and said with a worried look on her face, "Mother, you will inevitably experience the hardships of traveling on this journey. Fortunately, we have almost completed half of the journey. If you grit your teeth and hold on, we will arrive in the capital soon!"
The woman smiled and comforted her daughter, "Don't worry too much about mother. Mother is just a little tired of these foods recently. Once we enter the capital, everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Gu Yuxi couldn't help swallowing, then silently took out his steamed bun from his arms, muttering to himself: Since I can't eat meat now anyway, I might as well pretend that this steamed bun is delicious beef!
Alas, it will take another ten days or so to get to the capital to eat real delicious food!
At this time, the group behind them gradually pulled away. Because Deng Moci's mother was unwell, their speed slowed down significantly and they gradually fell behind and could only keep up with the large group of the second house.
