Being told by Xia Shui that I was trembling in fear, coupled with the fact that I was watching those palace dramas, I felt that my Chu Jiang was in danger. Thus, I followed Xia Shui to tidy up everything in the courtyard, even my personal belongings would be more meticulous.
Xia Shui, I still feel that I am not at ease. How about this, you help me think about it, we can design a special design that will mark every surface of mine. I have a plan, I said to Xia Shui immediately.
"Miss is smart, why didn't I remember?" Xia Shui laughed and patted his head.
"However, there are only the two of us on this item, and no one else is allowed to tell us about it, including the three in the yard." I whispered into Xia Shui's ear.
Oh right, Xia Shui, that Cui Zhu and Yingchun have a good relationship with you, how are they? I looked at the three people in the yard who were busy moving things.
"The two of them grew up together with me, and we are neighbors. They also have their miserable lives, and we came to the mansion together to serve as maids. I can guarantee that the two of them are simple people without schemes, and that they will repay the kindness without harming Miss." Xia Shui said seriously.
"Okay, then I am relieved. But even so, there are some things that should be kept a secret. After all, I still haven't truly trusted them." I thought for a moment.
"Yes, miss, I know. It's never wrong to be cautious." Xia Shui expressed his understanding.
"That Hong'er, I feel like she has an impure motive. Help me keep an eye on her."
"Miss suspects her." Xia Shui looked at me in confusion.
"Do you know her?" I asked Xia Shui.
I've been in the palace for a year, but I haven't seen Hong'er. Could it be that she's a new servant girl, but I've never heard of her recruiting anyone? Xia Shui frowned as she said this.
"Also, look at the three of them. Don't you feel that this Hong'er is a bit different?" I watched the three people in the courtyard discuss this with Xia Shui.
"How is it different?" Xia Shui looked at it for a few moments, but she could not see anything.
"Look, their things are all heavy. Even Jadeite Bamboo is panting and constantly wiping the sweat off her face. There's no need to talk about welcoming spring. She already no longer has any strength left, but look at that Hong'er." I indicated for Xia Shui to take a look.
From start to finish, Hong'er has the most things on her mind, so she should be the most tired. But look at her, not only is there not a single drop of sweat on her face, her aura and pace are very stable, and there's not even a single trace of panic. I sighed.
"I also feel it's strange that the little miss said that, but this Hong'er doesn't seem to be tired at all." Xia Shui also nodded in agreement.
"So keep an eye on her. I suspect she was ordered to come to me." My eyes were filled with a dangerous light. Hong'er, ah, Hong'er, you better not betray me, or else I will really abandon you, I told myself.
"Miss, don't worry. I will be careful." Xia Shui promised.
"En, from now on, you should do the work in this room yourself. They will let them do the chores in the courtyard and try their best to not let them near this room, especially Hong'er." I instructed Xia Shui.
Xia Shui nodded her head, we had already registered everything. After locking the door, we relaxed a bit, suddenly it was a pity that there was not a high-tech thing like a camera here, otherwise, who would still dare to scheme against me?
"Miss, the kitchen is ready." Just when I was lamenting the poverty here, Cui Zhu happily called out to me.
"Alright, I'll be right there." I answered, then pulled Xia Shui along.
"Wow, not bad. Your hands and feet are really nimble." I looked at the brand-new kitchen and smiled in satisfaction. It had all the kitchen utensils I could think of.
"Alright, I can finally cook my own food." I cheered happily.
"Miss can cook." Cui Zhu looked at me with a face full of worship.
"Of course, I used to learn to cook with my mother a lot during the holidays." I nodded.
"Ah, it's good as long as you're used to it. This is how Miss speaks. After all, she is not one of us, and her words are also different from ours." Looking at the three people who had doubtful expressions on their faces, Xia Shui hurriedly explained in my stead.
Xia Shui secretly pulled on my sleeves, and I realized that I had said the wrong thing. SShe chuckled and didn't say anything else. He had almost exposed the other party.
"I don't know what Miss wants to eat, but I'll go prepare it." Hong'er was quite active.
"Uh, I haven't decided yet." I hesitated for a moment and fell into deep thought. What am I going to do? It's my first time cooking, so I have to cook something big. They have never seen it before.
"You guys go get me a fish. It's a little bigger." I made up my mind and told Hong'er.
"Fish, does Miss want to drink fish soup?" Hong'er looked at me curiously.
"Secret, once it's done, you will know." I smiled mysteriously.
In the end, Hong'er was still confused as she was coaxed by me to look for ingredients. I looked at the kitchen only with salt, I looked at it with disdain, and asked Xia Shui, "This is the only seasoning you guys usually have."
"Could it be that I need something more?" Xia Shui asked.
"For example, chilies or peppers. You don't have them." I continued.
"I wonder what it is that Miss is talking about." Xia Shui shook his head.
"That spring onion, ginger, garlic, there must be a way." I asked, unwilling to give up.
"I should know what Miss wants, but the way we call it is different." Just as I was about to go crazy, Xia Shui finally had a look of realization on his face.
"Great." I look at the sky.
"I'll go to the kitchen and get it for Miss." Xia Shui left as soon as he said he would.
"Miss, what else do you need?" Cui Zhu and Xi Chun looked at me expectantly.
"I also need a brazier full of charcoal. Please help me get a brazier full of charcoal." I instructed the two of them.
"Charcoal, Miss is not cold under the sun right now." Cui Zhu looked at me innocently.
"It's fine if xiaojie asks, why do you have so much to say?" I was about to explain when I pulled Greenwood to make a charcoal fire.
I looked at them in satisfaction as they went to look for ingredients. I wanted to make a grilled fish because everything else was too difficult. It was hard to find ingredients, so I decided to deal with them today before researching other things in the future.
I looked at a bunch of flowers and plants in the courtyard. At this moment, a flower caught my attention, and the more I looked, the more it looked like a thing. After I walked in, I immediately grabbed a small fruit and sniffed it.
