Ye Muyu believed him. She quickly got up and put on her makeup.
After she was done, she ignored the person following behind her and quickly went into the kitchen to eat breakfast.
She did not know how long it would take to entertain the guests, so she did not want to starve.
Madam Hu was brewing a few pots of tea. The fragrance of tea in the kitchen was extremely rich.
“Madam, are you hungry? There are chrysanthemum cakes, milk cakes, and soup dumplings that have just been steamed in the pot. The dishes made in the morning are also warm. What would Madam like to eat?”
Ye Muyu was very hungry now. “Give me a bowl of porridge and a basket of soup dumplings. I don’t want any pastries.”
Pastries were usually enough to fill one’s stomach, but when one was really hungry, having rice was still better.
“Madam, there are also side dishes. They are all your favorite vegetables.” There were still vegetables to eat now, but later, there would only be cabbage and carrots.
Ye Muyu nodded hurriedly. One would get sick of eating too many soup dumplings. After all, the meat inside was very solid, and the vegetables complemented it well to increase one’s appetite. It was a good combination.
When Madam Hu saw this, she quickly brought out the food for her.
Ye Muyu took a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes and walked out. She planned to sit down in the central room and eat slowly. There were about 25 minutes before the guests arrived. She still had time to have a comfortable breakfast.
When she walked out of the kitchen, she saw Xiang Ling ‘er carrying a bundle of firewood. She was slightly surprised. “Ling’er, what are you doing?”
“Cousin-in-law.” When Xiang Ling’er saw her, she smiled brightly. “I brought a matchstick in. The firewood in Sister-in-law’s kitchen is very good. I couldn’t bear to use it, so I brought some firewood in. Small sticks can also burn very well for the stove.”
“It’s okay. The firewood at home is for burning. You don’t have to do this.” Ye Muyu reached out and tucked her sweaty hair behind her ears. Then, she called Zhang Shu over to bring the firewood in.
Madam Hu was making grass jelly. When she saw Xiang Ling’er, she smiled and said, “Madam, you don’t know. but she has been helping out since she woke up in the morning. This servant couldn’t stop her.”
“She is very sensible and doesn’t mind getting dirty. She does all kinds of work,” Madam Hu praised.
Xiang Ling’er’s cheeks were flushed red. Her big eyes were shining with shyness. “Cousin-in-law, I’m used to doing this kind of work. It’s fine that it doesn’t affect Madam Hu.”
“You don’t have to be so formal. Quickly bring some water to the room to wash your face. Then, apply the cream I gave you and change into the clothes I gave you last night. I’ll come and do your makeup later,” Ye Muyu said with a smile.
Just then, Ziluo came over. Ye Muyu smiled lightly and said, “Ziluo, bring your aunt in to change her clothes and apply makeup.”
“Mother, good, good.” Chu Ziluo was a little excited. She pulled Xiang Ling ‘er and ran into the house.
Seeing this, Madam Hu smiled and said, “Madam, you go eat first. I will help you.”.
As she spoke, she quickly brought the buns into the central room and then brought a basin of hot water to the west wing.
Ye Muyu sat at the dining table and ate the steamed buns.
They were not prepared to entertain guests in the central room. After all, everyone’s status was similar. The room was not as bright as the courtyard. If they were all sitting together, it might not be as comfortable.
Ye Muyu picked up a soup dumpling and took a bite. There was prawn in it, and it tasted very fresh. She took a sip and the soup was full. The skin of the dumpling was thin, and it was not big. It was very convenient to eat one in one bite.
Ye Muyu finished the eight soup dumplings in a short while. She was still a little hungry, but she knew when to stop. She did not ask for more. She slowly ate the porridge and ate it with the vegetables.
