Chapter 343
Li Yuezhu shook her head blankly. She only knew that Xiaojiu had several brothers, all of whom were born to Aunt Chen, but she didn't know what her brothers did.
"Mrs. Chen's sons are quite powerful. They all hold important positions in the court. In addition, Concubine Chen has no intention of competing for favor, so others cannot underestimate her."
Li Yuezhu nodded vaguely in understanding.
Chatting with Yanzhi until very late, Li Yuezhu noticed Yanzhi's fatigue and quickly let her go back to rest. Thinking about it, Yanzhi didn't sleep well since last night, and she had been busy for another day today, so she was naturally tired now.
Lying on the bed, Li Yuezhu pretended to have many things in her mind. She had known Xiao Jinyan was different for a long time, and she still couldn't figure out why the emperor gave so much military power to a child, plus what he had done today
With the reminder, Li Yuezhu also understood something in his heart. In autumn, the weather may change.
After falling asleep in a daze, Li Yuezhu had a lot of dreams during the night, and her neck still felt a little uncomfortable when she woke up the next day.
When Yanzhi came over to dress Li Yuezhu, she said to her: "I just heard Xuan Yue say that he has invited the eldest son here."
Li Yuezhu had slept so deeply that he still hadn't woken up yet. When he first heard about the eldest son, he really didn't know who he was talking about.
Shaking his head, Li Yuezhu finally realized that the eldest prince Yan Zhi mentioned was probably his cheap brother Li Yuelan!
"Do you want my brother to come to this yard?"
Li Yuezhu's eyes were sparkling, and he could tell he was extremely happy.
"Of course it's true. Xuan Yue left early in the morning to pick up someone."
Li Yuezhu couldn't be happier. She hasn't seen her brother for a long time and doesn't know how he is doing now.
I washed and dressed in one go, applied moisturizer and cream in front of the mirror, and didn't forget to apply a little blush and pink lipstick on myself. The whole person looked playful and cute, like a doll stepping out of a New Year painting.
"My young master is really contradictory. Even though he is dressed in men's clothing, he still insists on applying rouge and gouache. If someone looks at it, they will know that it is a girl's house."
Li Yuezhu curled her lips: "You know what? Everyone loves beauty. Even boys, there is no rule against wearing rouge and gouache!"
Li Yuezhu rolled his eyes, and then said: "Besides, where is this place? No one can come in and see Brother Jinyan's yard, so naturally I have to dress up nicely."
Rouge couldn't stand up to this little aunt, so she stuck a hosta in her head and let her run away.
Li Yuezhu came to the front hall in a hurry. He didn't take a closer look yesterday. The decoration in the front hall was also very good, low-key and luxurious.
"Girl, don't run away, be careful of falling down again, come here and eat quickly."
Xiao Jinyan pulled the chair next to him and asked the little girl to sit down.
Xiao Jinyan's meals were always vegetarian, so Li Yuezhu didn't mind much and ate the rice porridge in three mouthfuls.
"You're not a very good cook!"
After Li Yuezhu finished eating, he smacked his lips and said something unfinished.
"You little girl, it's good to have food to eat. How can you still be picky?"
Li Yuezhu rolled his eyes and heard Xuan Yue say.
"I heard you say that the food is not delicious when I first came in. The master even praised me before and said that my cooking skills have improved. How can you say that?"
Xuan Yue was quite aggrieved now. She had cooked dinner early in the morning, but was rejected by others. She couldn't survive this day.
"You don't even have a cook in a yard as big as yours?"
Even Yanzhi was surprised. In such a big yard, is there no cook?
"Of course not!" Xuan Yue said quickly: "It's not like you don't know that the young master always likes silence. If there are many people in this yard, the young master will feel uncomfortable living there. We are not weak, just me and Lao Wu.
Waiting."
Li Yuezhu nodded after hearing this, thinking that there seemed to be no one to serve him in the yard in Ankang County.
"Then you should practice your craft."
Li Yuezhu said seriously: "When we were in Ankang County, brother Jinyan's health had mostly recovered. Unexpectedly, when I came to the capital with you, his cough became more and more serious. It seems that you didn't take care of him properly!
"
Xuan Yue's face turned green and red when Li Yuezhu said it. What she said was not completely unreasonable. The young master's body has indeed deteriorated a lot since he came to the capital. Every night, Xuan Yue heard the young master's suppressed cough.
My heart is very worried.
"It just so happens that your sister-in-law is here. Please give me a salary increase and make some adjustments."
Xuan Yue really showed no humility this time.
"My young master has a body that makes him sick every autumn. Now he has tried his best to control it, but he is still like this."
Xiao Jinyan sat in front and looked at the two of them as if they were singing a double act, and shook his head: "I'm not as fragile as you said. It's just an old habit, and you all know it."
After Xiao Jinyan said these words, Li Yuezhu felt bad.
"Well, my brother is coming in the afternoon anyway. Before he comes, I will make some snacks and some healthy soups to drink."
Li Yuezhu made the arrangements himself.
Xiao Jinyan was also very busy today. After Li Yuezhu left, someone came.
Yanzhi didn't know where the girl got so many ingredients. When she came to the kitchen, she saw the little master busy for a while.
"Lily, Rehmannia glutinosa, Ophiopogon japonicus, white peony root, and what else, oh, yes, Fritillaria fritillary, Platycodon grandiflorum, and finally rice..."
Yanzhi listened to her little master muttering to himself, and put some water into the casserole before putting it on the stove.
"Little master, what are you doing?"
Yanzhi walked over and wanted to help, but didn't know what to do.
"Rangzhi, it's such a coincidence that you came here. I was worried about not having any helpers. I just made a flavored lily porridge, specially for brother Jinyan. My brother will be here later, and I want to prepare a few more snacks for him.
"
After all, Yanzhi came out of the palace. Although she was already a maid, serving Concubine Chen personally, her skills in her skills were unequivocal.
"I can make a few snacks, little master, just take a rest on the side!"
Li Yuezhu nodded after hearing Yan Zhi's words, and did not miss any work at hand.
Yanzhi walked around the kitchen and looked at the ingredients. Although this was an ordinary meal for Master Zi, the ingredients in the kitchen were quite complete.
"Looking at the ingredients here, I will make a five-color round sponge cake, water chestnut cake, lotus leaf roll and lotus paste nectar cake!"
Li Yuezhu nodded after listening. The main reason was that even Li Yuezhu had never heard of these pastries. Presumably since Rouge can be spoken, the taste must be very good.
Li Yuezhu peeled those pears and prepared to make pear syrup.
This pear candy cake is a good thing and plays a vital role in treating coughs caused by various factors such as poor immunity.
