Chapter 140 (2/2)
Matriarch He also knew how strict the army camps at the northern border were, so she didn’t try to make things difficult for the courier. She even specially told Chu Lian of the package limit.
After preparing a small bundle of things, Senior Servant Zhong had already brought the younger maidservants out to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Senior Servant Gui thought for a while before deciding to stay behind. She helped Chu Lian tidy up the bundle before commenting, “Third Young Madam, this old servant heard that the northern border is extremely barren; there’s not much to have there. Third Young Master must be used to a comfortable life here in the capital. He might not be able to get used to the northern border… It's possible that his appet.i.te is suffering as well. He must surely miss the fine cuisine back here in the capital.”
Chu Lian couldn’t understand what Senior Servant Gui was trying to say. She tilted her head in confusion as she looked at Senior Servant Gui. Her eyes were bright and moist, and she even made a cute ‘mm?’ sound in questioning.
“Didn’t he decide to go there by himself? He didn’t even tell me beforehand. It’s none of my business, even if he suffers there!”
Senior Servant Gui sighed inwardly. “That’s not what this old servant meant. This old servant was simply saying that Third Young Master is most likely not sleeping or eating well. Didn’t you have Xiyan and the other girls make some snacks a few days ago?”
Only those who were fortunate enough to taste the splendors of Chu Lian’s ‘secret recipes’ would know the temptation of food. As the saying went, 'the primary necessity of the people is food.' In the ranking of all of life's pleasures, food was number one!
Just take Senior Servant Gui for example. After getting used to eating the dishes made from Third Young Madam’s recipes, she would probably look down on even the most famous restaurant in the whole entire capital now. Those ‘fine cuisines’ were complete garbage when compared to the food here at Songtao Court!
Their Third Young Madam wasn’t good at much. In the past, she had some skill in brewing sencha, but since she refused to even touch the tea now, this was the last remaining skill that she could show off.
Who didn’t like to eat in this world? Especially good food. No one could possibly dislike it!
There was nothing good to eat over at the northern border. If Third Young Madam were to send something nice along, wouldn’t Third Young Master be tremendously happy?
