Pearl was stunned, then stepped forward to look at the jar, "How could you tell that, Miss? I don't think it's any different from ordinary plain oil?"

Su Qingyu didn't have time to explain to her, so she just told her: "Just say it's too busy here and go back and call for someone. I don't need much vegetable oil. Find a smaller porcelain bottle and put it in your arms and bring it to me. Don't Someone discovered the clues.”

"Also, bring me another set of clothes."

Hearing this, Pearl nodded solemnly, opened the door and walked out.

After about a quarter of an hour, Pearl and Jade came in together. They took out four small porcelain bottles filled with vegetable oil from their arms.

After that, the three masters and servants started cooking, one cut vegetables, and the other cooked. They cooperated in a tacit understanding.

Seeing that it was time to eat, eight vegetarian dishes and one soup were ready.

Su Qingyu changed into a satin jacket with crescent moon and white pearl patterns and a green undershirt with stitching, and then personally took her servants to the flower hall where Songhetang ate.

When she entered, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Zhao just walked in.

Su Qingyu stepped forward and bowed politely, and then said: "Today's dish is what I learned at Huguo Temple a few days ago. Grandma and Mrs. Zhao don't dislike it."

Mrs. Zhao was in her early fifties, not tall, but energetic. When she looked at Su Qingyu, her eyes clearly lit up.

"No wonder my sister keeps praising you. With such looks and bearing, you are one of the best in the capital."

As he spoke, he grabbed Su Qingyu's hand and took off a emerald green jade bracelet from her hand.

Su Qingyu had seen a lot of good things, and as soon as she got this thing in her hands, she knew it was top-notch material.

"Mrs. Zhao, this bracelet is too expensive..."

Before Su Qingyu finished speaking, she heard Mrs. Zhao say: "What's your name, madam? Logically speaking, you should also call me aunt. The elders gave it to me. I can't refuse it. Keep it."

"Yes, aunt." Su Qingyu responded obediently. Mrs. Zhao was so happy that she couldn't let go.

"I liked this girl at first sight. It's a pity. It would be better if Zhixiu was alive."

"But it's okay. Since you called me aunt, if you suffer any grievances in the Shen family in the future, my aunt will definitely make the decision for you."

Seeing this, Mrs. Su also smiled and said: "This girl in our family has no choice in what she says or does. Now she is in charge of all the mundane affairs in the family, so we don't have to worry about it at all."

Madam Su could only dream of getting closer to Duke Wei. The ancestors of the Zhao family of Duke Wei were the founding heroes of the country. Three hundred years later, this generation of Duke Wei still leads an army of 200,000 people in Qianzhou. He has a heavy army and his strength cannot be underestimated.

Su Qingyu helped the two elders sit down, and then opened the lid of the dish herself.

"Grandma, aunt, this dish is called Luohan Tofu. The tofu is from Huguo Temple, and some wormwood sent from Hot Spring Village is added to it."

"This dish is called Buddha's Light Puzhao, and it uses ginkgo..."

When Su Qingyu was introducing the dishes, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Mrs. Su frowned slightly, who is so unruly? Don’t you know she’s entertaining guests?

"Aunt, you can't eat this dish today." Gu Ruoyun insisted on barging in regardless of the maid's mother-in-law's obstruction. Behind him was Cheng Rujin, who was carrying a food box in his hand.

Mrs. Su looked at Gu Ruoyun displeasedly, "How on earth are you shouting and yelling? Don't you know I have distinguished guests here?"

Gu Ruoyun took Cheng Rujin forward, saluted Mrs. Zhao, and then explained.

"Aunt, I just learned that the people below were negligent and the oil sent to the kitchen was mixed with meat oil."

"The eldest lady is young, so I guess she didn't notice it. Fortunately, my aunt and the Duke's wife haven't used their chopsticks yet, otherwise it would be a sin."

"This girl Rujin is still smart. She found out in the morning that the vegetarian cook here was sick, so she cooked a few vegetarian dishes and thought of sending them to you. As soon as I heard about the oil, I quickly brought her here. "

"Although this girl's cooking skills are average, she is sincere at least. Don't dislike her, my aunt and the Duke's wife."

Su Qingyu lowered her head, a sneer appearing on her lips. Gu Ruoyun really couldn't keep his temper. He came in to claim credit regardless of the situation, and he wasn't afraid of flashing his tongue.

Mrs. Su heard this and looked at Su Qingyu, "What's going on?"

Su Qingyu looked at Gu Ruoyun with some grievances and said, "What are you talking about, cousin? How can I not know that my grandmother is a vegetarian sincerely? These dishes are all made by me, how can there be meat and oil?"

"I know that because of what happened at the Shen family last time, my aunt and cousin have always had feelings towards me, but they can't wrongly accuse me like this."

Su Qingyu's voice trembled at the end of her words, and she held back tears.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao quickly pulled Su Qingyu to her side, "Look at how wronged our little girl is. I have been a vegetarian for thirty years. I can tell at a glance whether there is meat or fat. I can guarantee that these dishes today will be good." They are all made of vegetable oil.”

Seeing this, Mrs. Su quickly picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the bamboo shoots in front of her. Then she put down her chopsticks hard and said, "Ruoyun, this dish is made of vegetable oil, and there is no meat oil in it. Why are you making such a fuss?" What happened?"

When Gu Ruoyun saw this, he blurted out: "It's impossible."

Mrs. Zhao frowned and looked at Mrs. Su, "Who is this?"

When Mrs. Zhao asked, Gu Ruoyun quickly stepped forward and said: "Old madam, this junior Gu Ruoyun, this is my daughter Rujin, who is also going to marry into the Shen family. I will rely on Mrs. Zhao to take care of her in the future."

"Rujin, quickly salute your great-aunt."

As soon as Cheng Rujin stepped forward, she heard Mrs. Zhao say: "No, just a concubine, don't marry me."

"Whatever you do, what you say, what kind of status you have, it's better not to overstep it."

Mrs. Zhao turned to Mrs. Su and said, "Families like ours should be more cautious and don't let insignificant people cause trouble to the family."

Mrs. Su's face was dull, she forced a smile and replied: "You are right."

He turned around and glared at Gu Ruoyun, "Don't go out yet."

Just like that, Gu Ruoyun took Cheng Rujin out of Songhe Hall in disgrace.

Su Qingyu accompanied the two old ladies during their meals. After the meal, the servants served tea and the two old ladies discussed the marriage.

Mrs. Zhao's words made Su Qingyu dumbfounded.
