First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 207: 8 Trigrams, Ancient and Modern

"By the way, General, can you come back for dinner today?" Hua Rui asked.

"He went to the military camp today and won't be back until tonight." Su Jixiang said with a smile, "Do you have anything to do with him?"

"Nothing." Hua Rui shook her hand quickly and said, "I just want to thank him. My husband told me a few days ago that the general had talked to him once, and knowing the grudge between him and me, he taught him a lesson. If it weren't for the general teaching him, I'm afraid I would still ignore him now!" After saying that, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I can't thank the general in person, but the same goes for thanking you." Hua Rui was afraid that Su Jixiang would misunderstand, so she spoke quickly.

"Oh. About this matter." Su Jixiang pursed his lips, "Well, I can convey my gratitude to you. If you meet him yourself, you can thank him yourself." Hua Rui probably didn't know that she was the first one to discover her abnormality.

But now Hua Rui is living a good life, and she and He Chunlin are getting along well, and He Chunlin is also trying hard to be good to Hua Rui. So there is no need to bring up those old things.

Anyway, she didn't need to take credit in front of Hua Rui.

"Just let you pass it on." Hua Rui smiled and said, "I just asked."

Three people were busy in the kitchen, Su Jixiang was the chef, Hua Rui was helping, and Qu Wanning could only serve tea and water to them.

"By the way, do you know about the recent events regarding Zhao Xiuwan and Li Yuzhu?" Qu Wanning asked with a smile.

"It was brought to my attention before." Su Jixiang was kneading dough. She was going to make some steamed buns. The steamed buns don't need to ferment and can be made and eaten right away, which is fast. "But I think this is a grudge between the two of them. I don't want to get involved."

"Yes, yes, yes. It's what happened after the incident came to you. Do you know?" Qu Wanning blinked at Su Jixiang with a gossipy look.

"What happened to them?" Hua Rui didn't know about this yet. After all, it wasn't a good thing, so Wei Ling sent out an order that anyone who was with him and Su Jixiang that night was not allowed to reveal anything to the outside world.

"The two of them were fighting in the street!" Qu Wanning narrated the whole story.

Su Jixiang kneaded the dough and couldn't help laughing at Qu Wanning's excited expression. Qu Wanning was becoming more and more down-to-earth. Her movements and expressions were exactly the same as those of the two anchors in a short video on a certain audio platform who interpreted the content of a TV series as something that happened in their village.

Therefore, the love of gossip is regardless of time and place.

"Ah? I think Madam Qian is very rich. Looking at the things she wears, the total value of her clothes must be several hundred taels!" Hua Rui was surprised. "But the richest one is still Bihe. She is really rich!"

The way Qu Wanning and Hua Rui sing in unison is really similar.

Su Jixiang couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Qu Wanning gently pushed Su Jixiang's shoulder. "Did I say something wrong? I heard it from my family. If he fooled me, I will go back and settle the score with him!"

"That's right. Your husband really didn't fool you. Please continue." Su Jixiang saw that the dough was almost kneaded, so he put it aside to wake up.

Lushui and Guihua had already cut the vegetables and meat for her, so she just needed to prepare the stuffing.

If you want the filling to taste good, you must mix the vegetables and meat separately first, and then mix them together.

Conditions are limited this year, so this vegetable is the cabbage that the people of Mangcheng have to store before winter, which is the modern cabbage.

After all, it was ancient times and there was no greenhouse technology, so the dish was really a bit monotonous.

Su Jixiang plans to build some greenhouses next autumn to grow vegetables in winter.

The land in Mangcheng is fertile. As long as the temperature inside is suitable, no matter what you plant, it will grow very well.

Moreover, she already has some big plans in her mind, and she is just waiting to implement them one by one next year.

"After they separated that day, I heard from my family that Captain Qian and Zhao Xiuwan had a big fight. What kind of person is Captain Qian? Everyone knows that he likes Zhao Xiuwan to the core. Since he could have a fight with Zhao Xiuwan, I'm afraid this must be true." Qu Wanning said.

"That's right!" Hua Rui nodded immediately.

Qian Feng had taken good care of Zhao Xiuwan when he was escorting the palace maid to Mangcheng. Everyone with eyes saw it.

After they got married, Zhao Xiuwan really scolded him and told him to go east, but he would not go west.

Sometimes Hua Rui envied Zhao Xiuwan's good luck for finding someone like Qian Feng who was considerate and obedient to her.

But now she no longer has that thought. After all, He Chunlin treats her better and better, and the two of them no longer have the friction and disagreements they had in the past. Now they can talk openly about everything, and their life is as sweet as honey.

Su Jixiang really didn’t know about the quarrel between Zhao Xiuwan and Qian Feng. After all, Wei Ling had been fooling around in bed with her for several days…

Naturally, I turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window...

If Wei Ling hadn't gone to the military camp to take care of some things today, the two of them would probably have continued to stay together.

When Su Jixiang thought about it now, he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. Sometimes Wei Ling was really corny!

But she just falls for it.

"What did Li Yuzhu do?" Su Jixiang asked.

"Right. Li Yuzhu is a ruthless person!" Qu Wanning immediately became excited. "I heard from my family that Li Yuzhu sold all her valuable jewelry, collected money, and found a constable from the government office to help her find the whereabouts of her maid. What's more, it is said that news came back yesterday that there is some clue."

"If the maid is really found, Li Yuzhu will be able to get her money back, right?" Hua Rui asked.

"Speaking of this matter, it should have been like this, but who knows if something will go wrong?" Qu Wanning said, "Li Yuzhu has already submitted a petition to the county government of Mangcheng County. The government has also formally accepted it. Logically speaking, if the whereabouts of the maid are really found and evidence is found, it will be easy to charge her with theft. Moreover, she stole property that had been seized by the Black Tiger Army! I think her crime should be aggravated."

"She has legs to run!" Hua Rui said. "She got a lot of money for nothing, won't she run farther?"

"How far can she go as an unmarried girl?" Qu Wanning said, "I guess she just went to her hometown in the countryside to avoid the limelight. If someone really wants to look for her, it's not impossible to find her."

The two were discussing with each other, but Su Jixiang frowned slightly.

If Li Yuzhu can find the maid, there is no guarantee that Zhao Xiuwan can also send someone to find her. By then, the maid's life will be in danger...
