Chapter 169: Never Checked My Fortune Calendar (1/2)

Aiya both of you,” the servant in deep green clothes was getting a little impatient to go home and said, “Just back down a little! The earlier we finish, the sooner we can knock off! Really! This nanny here, there is really no chicken soup left. We’ll just use whatever’s left: ham, scallop, dried shrimps, eggs, winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and some green vegetables to cook a bowl, okay?

“Fine! So be it!” Since the servant in deep green clothes yielded, Nanny Gui stopped insisting on making a fuss and said, “Make a bowl for four: Third Old Master, Third Old Mistress, as well as Second and Fourth missies! They must be very hungry now, please make a little more!”

“Eh, got it! One pot will be just enough!” The servant in deep green clothes started to wash and cut the vegetables nimbly while the servant in claret-red clothes merely grumbled.

An aroma slowly rose from the steaming hot pot, and the noodles were ready very quickly. Having a whiff of the aroma, Nanny Gui could not help but feel hungry herself. However, she had to hold herself back any gracelessness.

The servant in deep green clothes quickly ladled the noodles into a huge bowl and placed it into a meal box. Inside the meal box, hot water was added inside, before she informed Nanny Gui, “It’s done!”

Nanny Gui got up and brushed her clothes before leaving with the meal box.

As soon as her feet left the kitchen, the other two left as well, almost as if they were afraid that she would come back to find them again. They hurriedly locked the kitchen and hastily left in different directions.

“Just what are they!” Nanny Gui mumbled.

But the truth was that those two servants were foresighted to have run off quickly. As the cold wind blew, Nanny Gui subconsciously closed her eyes. Her foot landed wrongly and she slipped and fell. The meal box fell out of her hands and landed sideways heavily.

Nanny Gui was stupefied, and her mouth gaped as she remained stationary like a statue.

“Why am I so unlucky today! If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have taken up this rotten task!” Nanny Gui crawled over to the meal box while sighing endlessly. Harbouring her last hope, she opened the meal box but was dismayed.

The noodles were scattered all over inside the meal box, how can it still be eaten!

“What to do! What to do!” Nanny Gui was so anxious that she almost wanted to find a piece of rope to hang herself! This was just great, not only was she taking so long to get food, she wasn’t even able to return with any food! It so happened that the kitchen was locked now, there was no longer a way for her to return to the kitchen and cook another bowl of noodles even if she wanted to!

The saying that a person would be smarter when pressured to a corner was true after all. Being under huge pressure, Nanny Gui suddenly thought of Sang Wan and she quickly got up to search for Ning Garden.

Right now, Sang Wan and Shi Fengu were cuddling and being intimate with each other. They were just like newlyweds, their relationship in harmony, cuddling together on a cozy night felt even sweeter than honey.

“Young Master, Young Mistress!” A voice from behind the doors, shattered the lovely atmosphere inside the chamber.

Shi Fengju was embracing his wife and whispering lovingly into her ear. Upon hearing the voice from outside, he creased his eyebrows. Not letting Sang Wan leave his embrace he hugged her tightly and asked unhappily, “What’s the matter?”

Behind the door, Liu Ya felt annoyed and thought that her Young Master had a very bad temper today. He seemed to find every one of them a nuisance, and always had a look of animosity towards them.

What did they do to make him angry?

“It is Nanny Gui from the third family who wishes to see Young Mistress!” Liu Ya hurriedly answered.

“Nanny Gui?” Sang Wan quickly got out of Shi Fengju’s embrace and arranged her clothing. Raising her hand to arrange her hair, she smiled and asked, “For Nanny Gui to see me at this hour, it must be something urgent! Do I look messy?

“Definitely not! You’re fine!” Shi Fengju smiled and arranged her loose hair. Both of them looked at each other and smiled.

“Let her come in. There’s no need to go out to see her; she’s not an outsider anyway!” Shi Fengju said as he led Sang Wan to sit together at the table before raising his voice to instruct Liu Ya to let Nanny Gui in.

“Nanny, you’re here, have a seat! Is something the matter at Third Aunt’s side?” When Nanny Gui entered, Sang Wan asked with a smile.

“This old servant shall politely refuse,” After the greeting, Nanny Gui smiled and said, “There is something that needs Young Mistress’s help! Our Old Mistress forgot about the hour when she was unpacking; by the time the third family wanted to eat, the food was already cold! I suppose Young Mistress has a small kitchen here? Can I trouble you to make a bowl of noodles? Our Old Master, Old Mistress, and two Missies have not eaten at all!”

“Who’d have thought!” Sang Wan hurriedly smiled and said, “Winter is like this, the dishes turns cold very quickly! Wait awhile, I’ll have someone make it!” She called for Liu Ya and instructed her to inform the small kitchen personally.

Nanny Gui was elated, and gave her thanks profusely. Smiling, she said, “Then this old servant shall not bother Young Master and Young Mistress any longer. This old servant will wait at the kitchen!”

“Certainly! Nanny, take care!” Sang Wan smiled and nodded.

“Really, there is everything in the house, what’s the rush for Third Aunt to unpack all her things!” Shi Fengju laughed.

However, Sang Wan could understand her for doing so and said, “They finally have a house for themselves at last. Of course she would be anxious to decorate it! You men will understand this!”

Shi Fengju laughed and said, “Really? But I’ve never seen you decorate our house at all.” He could not help but look around. It was true, other than the big red ‘喜’ character and the bright red silks that were taken down, everything else was the same as when they got married. Nothing was moved at all.
