Chapter 16 Who Doesn't Know How to Pretend to be a White Lotus Flower?
Tang Yue roughly remembered the road to the prefecture. It should not happen that he got lost in his own house.
The lunch was also in his own house. He only found out after asking. In Marquis's Mansion, only the family would gather together for dinner. Breakfast and lunch would be in their own rooms. The maid would go to the kitchen to get the meal on time.
Tang Yue no longer had any hope for the food. He ate the whole meal and decided to ask if he could set up a small kitchen in his yard.
The butler of Marquis's Mansion listened to his request and asked carefully, “Does young master feel that the food in the big kitchen is not to his liking?”
Of course Tang Yue can't say yes. ” No, he just thought that my yard was so far away from the big kitchen. It was windy and rainy. It's not convenient to go all the way to the big kitchen to pick up food, and it'll be cold when the food arrives. ”
The butler secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “It's my fault for not considering it properly. This matter is under Madam's care, I'll help you ask.”
“Then I will have to trouble you.”
Tang Yue was very curious about him calling himself his subordinate. He thought that the butler was also a servant. He asked about the mountain and found out that the butler was Yueyang Marquis's personal guard. After the war stopped, he was brought to the manor by Yueyang Marquis as a butler.
Marquis's Wife was so angry that her teeth itched when she heard the butler's report. This kid wanted a small kitchen as soon as he entered the house. Thinking back, she only had this kind of treatment when she was pregnant. She really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Marquis's Wife did not agree or reject at that time. It was just that after dinner that day, she casually mentioned, “Master Hou, today Yue'er said that she wants to set up a small kitchen in his courtyard. I think this is good too. What he wants to eat can be made by the small kitchen, what do you think?”
Of course Yueyang Marquis did not think it was good. This house did not even have a small kitchen in the old madam's yard. Why should he make a small kitchen for his son alone?
However, his son had just entered the house. He felt guilty and wanted to make up for it, so he didn't reject it.
Tang Yue knew that there was a trap when he heard Marquis's Wife's words. He quickly stood up and repeated the reason. He emphasized that it was not because the food in the big kitchen was not good, nor did he want to make a small meal, but because he felt that it would be too troublesome.
“If it is too troublesome, forget it. I think if there is a small kitchen in the yard, I will make as much food as I can. It will not be a waste of food. The food in the big kitchen is too sumptuous.”
Marquis's Wife covered her mouth and smiled. “Child, we are from a noble family in Marquis's Mansion. Naturally, the food can't be too shabby. If word gets out, people will think that I, the matriarch, mistreated you.”
Tang Yue thought to himself, “This woman is really good at talking. No wonder she can gain a virtuous reputation without giving birth to a son.
But who doesn't know how to pretend to be a white lotus?
Tang Yue lowered his head and lowered his eyes 45 degrees. “You're right. I still want to make some good food for my family when I have time. I want everyone to taste the unique taste of our hometown. It's not in vain that everyone treats me so well.” freew(e)bnove(l)
The old madam and Yueyang Marquis were touched. They felt that this was a good child with filial piety. As for the food Tang Yue mentioned, they did not have any hope. What kind of unique taste could there be in the countryside?
Marquis's Wife frowned slightly and said disapprovingly, “Yue'er's filial piety is commendable, but you are a man after all. This gentleman will go to the kitchen far away. Don't mention this anymore.”
“Ever since the birth mother passed away, I have been cooking by myself.” At that time, there was no condition for him to be a gentleman. If he did not cook by himself, could he be waiting to starve to death?
Tang Yue's words had exhausted the bitterness of the original owner.
Yueyang Marquis waved his hand and made a decision. “The small kitchen is still set up. You don't need to do anything yourself. Ask the maids to bring the food back and heat it up, so as to avoid eating cold food.”
Marquis's Wife wanted to say something, but Yueyang Marquis took the lead. “The other courtyards are the same. The children are all growing up. It is more convenient to eat hot food at night.”
Tang Yue had achieved his goal. He did not mind Yueyang Marquis treating them equally. He found that everyone was happy. It seemed that he was not the only one who had a problem with the big kitchen. (f)reewebnovel
To be honest, this big old man had a fatherly love for his children.
