Chapter 102 Fucheng meets Chulan and others
On the tenth day of September, Yun took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan out to Fucheng.
Apart from the coachman and guards, the three people accompanying them were Cuiping, Cuihe, Xiumei and Zhang Nanny.
The date that Madam Zhifu invited was September 15th, but because it would take a day on the road, and Yun was worried about any accidents, he set off four days earlier.
Xingshan County is located in a remote area. They set off in the morning and arrived in Fucheng in the evening.
The streets of Fucheng in the evening should have been deserted, with shops making samples and pedestrians returning home.
However, halfway through the Wei family's carriage, they saw a fighting crowd in front of them, with swords and swords, which was very scary.
The driver of the car wanted to turn around immediately, but the road was not wide enough, so he couldn't turn around for a while, so he was forced to freeze on the side of the road, at a loss.
Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan in the car were very nervous.
Wei Ruo was also a little frightened, who would be so bold to fight on an important street in Fucheng?
Wei Ruo carefully opened a crack in the curtain.
Through this gap, Wei Ruo saw a familiar figure among the fighting crowd——Lu Yuhong.
If Lu Yuhong is here, isn't Chu Lan also involved?
Sure enough, when Wei Ruo glanced across the block, he saw Chu Lan in the corner surrounded by several guards.
He didn't do anything, these little guys in front of him were not worthy of his own action.
When Wei Ruo saw Chu Lan, Wei Qingwan, who was sitting opposite her, also saw it.
Her face showed both surprise and panic at witnessing this chaotic scene, as well as a trace of joy that couldn't be concealed.
After about a stick of incense, the movement outside quieted down.
After a while, Lu Yuhong walked towards the Wei family's carriage.
"Sorry for disturbing your driver, the matter has subsided, you can move on."
In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Wei did not lift the curtain, but replied through the curtain: "It's okay, it's fine, Mr. Lao is here."
Madam Wei has already recognized Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong, knowing their identities, naturally she dare not criticize them.
After the simple conversation, Lu Yuhong was supposed to let the Wei family's carriage leave like this. Suddenly, Lu Yuhong didn't know whether he recognized the Wei family's carriage or the servants of the Wei family who were traveling with the carriage. on the car?"
Yunshi and Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo together with surprise.
Wei Ruo thought for a while, and answered, "What are your orders, Master?"
Lu Yuhong said: "I don't have anything else, I just want to ask you, do you still have the sauce you gave to Miss Xie's family?"
Sauce? Mushroom sauce?
Wei Ruo remembered that she gave Xie Ying two cans of mushroom sauce, and Xie Ying said that she would share a can with her brother.
Wei Ruo knew that Xie Jueren was also in Taizhou Fucheng recently, so he should be with Chu Lan and the others.
According to Lu Yuhong, it should be that he ate mushroom sauce from Xie Jue.
Wei Ruo thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Lu, I didn't bring this thing with me when I was out."
Secretly, Wei Ruo didn't want to give it to Lu Yuhong. Although it wasn't something valuable, she didn't like Chu Lan very much, and she didn't even have a good impression of Lu Yuhong.
But she couldn't refuse directly, and she didn't dare to lie that she was gone, but she really didn't bring anything with her.
Wei Ruo has said so, and the average Mr. Qianqian can only order as soon as he can, and he will not ask for a can of mushroom sauce just to chase after him.
But Lu Yuhong is obviously not a traditional family son, he said straightforwardly: "Then when I go to Xingshan County in a few days, can Miss Wei give me a can?"
It was the first time for Wei Ruo to meet someone who asked herself for something so straightforwardly. The key point was that she was not familiar with this Lu Yuhong!
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Chu Lan's voice came from outside again.
"Brother Yu, your words are too abrupt."
Lu Yuhong scratched his head embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, brother Chu, I was only thinking about begging for mushroom sauce, who said Xie Jue was so stingy, saying that his sister gave it to me, and only willing to give me a spoonful to mix it with." After eating a bowl of noodles, no matter how much you say, you won’t give me any more. I don’t have this sauce anywhere else. It’s hard to meet the right owner. I’ve forgotten the rules and etiquette when I’m greedy!”
Lu Yuhong is quite nervous, and he often does not have so many rules when doing things.
After being reminded by Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong also realized that it was very inappropriate for him to control an unfamiliar lady in the street begging for mushroom sauce.
Then he apologized and said, "I'm sorry Miss Wei, I was confused, so I won't bother you."
After speaking, Lu Yuhong moved out of the way.
Yun Shi ordered the coachman to move on, and after passing Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong, Wei Qingwan carefully lifted the bamboo curtain of the car window and glanced at the two people behind.
Yun asked Wei Ruo: "Ruoer, what happened to the sauce you just mentioned?"
Wei Ruo replied calmly: "I made the sauce with minced meat and shiitake mushrooms when I was free. I gave two cans to Xie Ying. It was probably Xie Ying who gave it to her brother. Now brother Xie Ying is also in Fucheng. I guess it was with Cai Cai just now." That young master is good friends, let's taste it together."
Wei Ruo originally gave it to Xie Ying, which is reasonable, so there is no need to worry about being held accountable by the Yun family.
"So that's how it is." Yun Shi nodded, and then said, "If it's just some sauce, if the young master asks you for it again next time, you can just ask your servants to give him some, and you don't need to hide it if you give it in a fair manner."
As long as it's not privately giving or receiving the woman's personal belongings, some food is fine.
Wei Ruo didn't answer, but Wei Qingwan asked Wei Ruo curiously: "Does my sister know how to make sauce?"
Wei Ruo leaned against the wall of the car, and replied lazily and casually: "Rural women cook a lot of food by themselves, and I learned a little from them."
"Sister, can you teach me how to do it next time? I want to learn too." Wei Qingwan expressed her desire to study.
"Sister, what you should learn is how to be a good lady and the future head of the house. Skills such as making sauce can be ranked behind. But if you are really curious about this skill, you can discuss it with the cook at home. She I must know it too." Wei Ruo replied.
Propose it in front of Yun so that she can't refuse and then teach her to make mushroom sauce? What are you thinking?
"The cook in Fuzhong is definitely not as skilled as my sister. Just now, the son is from the capital and has eaten a lot of delicious food. He praises his sister like this. It must be that the sauce made by my sister is outstanding." Wei Qingwan said.
Wei Ruo said unhurriedly: "Sister, forgive me, I have a lot of things to do recently, and I don't have the time to teach my sister these things. In fact, the methods of making sauce are similar, and my sister is the same as anyone. In the eyes of the young master, it may be that the young master is used to fine food on weekdays, and it's just a novelty to taste this kind of country sauce for the first time."
