Lu Liu was but a lowly servant. How could she afford to have such a noble person like Chu Hai build a house for her?
Lu Liu didn't dare to speak to Chu Hai, so she could only anxiously say to Jiujiu, "Miss, quickly tell the State Preceptor to stop building the house. This servant is willing to sleep on the ground for the rest of my life."
Jiujiu spat out the fruit pit in her mouth onto the ground. Looking at Chu Hai who was working hard in the distance, she said to the terrified Lu Liu, "You're willing to sleep on the ground for the rest of your life, but I'm not willing to have another person on the ground. If you really have a guilty conscience, then go help him build a house. If you want to call for others, then give up.
He won't let anyone else enter this courtyard. "
Even the Emperor wouldn't be able to, let alone others.
Hearing Jiujiu say that Chu Hai wouldn't let anyone else come, Lu Liu thought of Chu Hai's identity and her face paled. She hurriedly said, "This servant will go help right away."
Looking at Lu Liu's back, Jiujiu chuckled and continued to throw food into her mouth.
Mhm, although Chu Hai was going to build a house, the quality of her food didn't decrease at all. In fact, because she had been cooking for her for a long time, she found out what she liked. Chu Hai's food was even more in line with her taste. It was simply too delicious.
Although Chu Hai didn't like to be close to people, Lu Liu was someone that Jiujiu specifically asked for. Chu Hai wouldn't be too resistant to Lu Liu.
Because of Lu Liu's help, the progress of building a house was naturally faster than if she were alone. Therefore, ten days later, Lu Liu moved into her house.
Jiujiu said that she wanted Lu Liu to be her maidservant, but in reality, there weren't many things that Lu Liu could do. Most of the time, she could help take care of the vegetable sprouts in the field and the small animals in the backyard.
Previously, Jiujiu had always felt that Chu Hai's small animals tasted much better than those bought outside.
After living with Chu Hai for a while, Jiujiu realized that Chu Hai's animals were very meticulous.
In Chu Hai's words, an animal's mood was closely related to its taste.
If small animals were happy every day when they were alive, then they would taste very delicious. However, if they were frightened or treated badly when they were alive, then their taste would naturally not be good.
In Chu Hai's words, neither the animals nor the food outside tasted good.
As for Chu Hai, he personally went to the field every day to weed and water his vegetables, bathe the small animals he raised, play the zither, and recite poems.
Because he was very attentive, the vegetables he grew were indeed much more delicious than those bought outside. Of course, the meat of his small animals was also much better than those bought outside.
Of course, Jiujiu didn't know whether it was because he took good care of them or because he played the zither and recited poems.
However, since Lu Liu knew that Chu Hai was so attentive to these vegetables and small animals, she was also very attentive to them. She simply treated those vegetables and small animals as her ancestors.
Of course, the things that Chu Hai grew and raised were naturally not enough for them to eat.
Whenever the emperor had something good, he would definitely send it to Chu Hai as soon as possible.
As for Jiujiu, she originally liked good things. Since she stayed with Chu Hai and learned about Chu Hai's good cooking skills, Jiujiu's mouth became even more greedy.
No matter how good Chu Hai's food was, there would be a day when it was finished. When Chu Hai's food was almost eaten by Jiujiu, Chu Hai began to ask the emperor for food.
In the past, Chu Hai didn't have a great appetite for good food. After Jiujiu died, Chu Hai began to have a great appetite for good food. Therefore, it was clear who the person who had a great appetite for good food was.
On one hand, the emperor ordered people to search for exotic delicacies. On the other hand, the news that Jiujiu liked to eat was spread out.
The Fourth Prince, who was thinking hard about how to get close to Jiujiu, instantly had an idea after learning about Jiujiu's appetite for good food.
Jiujiu was thinking about whether she should go with Chu Hai to get some crabs to eat when she received an invitation from the Fourth Prince to attend the crab banquet.
Jiujiu looked at the invitation in her hand, her eyes rolling. She looked at Chu Hai, who was busy in the kitchen, and shouted, "Chu Hai, the Fourth Prince invited me to attend the crab banquet. Are you going?"
Chu Hai, who was cutting vegetables, froze, "You go. I won't join in the fun."
Firstly, he didn't like the Fourth Prince's character. Secondly, if he went, it would be tantamount to raising the Fourth Prince's status in the dark.
Moreover, the people who attended the Fourth Prince's crab banquet would definitely be around his age. If he went, it would inevitably make others uncomfortable.
However, "I'll go pick you up."
Jiujiu made a sound of agreement. She turned to look at Lu Liu and said, "Get ready. Come with me to attend the crab banquet tomorrow."
Lu Liu obediently complied, then went to the vegetable field to take care of Chu Hai's little vegetable sprouts.
When Chu Hai was cooking dinner, he saw that his little vegetable sprouts were cleaned by Lu Liu until they were green.
Jiujiu often wondered if Lu Liu used a cloth to wipe the leaves of the vegetables. Otherwise, how could the color of the leaves be so beautiful?
Early the next morning, after Jiujiu and Chu Hai had breakfast, she brought Lu Liu to attend the crab banquet at the elegant little hut written on the Fourth Prince's invitation card.
When Jiujiu arrived, there were already many people present. When they saw Jiujiu appear, some of them were startled at first, then immediately greeted Jiujiu enthusiastically.
Looking at those strangers who greeted her with enthusiasm, Jiujiu nodded with a smile, then unceremoniously sat down at the head of the table.
The moment Jiujiu sat down, there was a moment of silence in the hall. Then, there were waves of whispers.
It was obvious that Jiujiu's seat belonged to someone else.
Jiujiu did not care about this at all. She was the future state preceptor. Even if the Emperor was present, she would still dare to sit at the head of the table. A group of little radishes would all stand back in front of her.
Jiujiu's attitude was arrogant, but Lu Liu's attitude was not bad either.
After all, she was the state preceptor's and the future state preceptor's servant. Her status was much nobler than the people present. What was there to be afraid of?
Jiujiu picked up a cup of chrysanthemum wine and drank it in one gulp. She then turned to Lu Liu and said, "I'm hungry. Bring some snacks over."
"This servant will do it right away." When she heard Jiujiu say that she was hungry, Lu Liu immediately went to the kitchen to get some snacks.
Soon, Lu Liu brought in all kinds of snacks and placed them in front of Jiujiu one by one.
Jiujiu casually picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, brought it to her mouth, took a bite, and chewed.
Jiujiu's brows slightly knitted. She put down the osmanthus cake in her hand and took a sip of tea to wash away the sweetness in her mouth.
Holding her chin with one hand, Jiujiu sighed softly. She missed Chu Hai so much.
Chu Hai's snacks were always to her taste, especially his osmanthus cake. Its fragrance assailed her nose, sweet but not greasy, and she would never get tired of eating it.
Unlike the osmanthus cake here, it was sweet and greasy, and did not have the fragrance of osmanthus. She did not know whether it was a cake or a candy.
