Chapter 547: Crisis
Sending away Sun Cuijuan, who still wanted to cry, Hou Shizi of Pingchuan helped the eldest princess of Ruyang back to the inner room, and wanted to help her old man to go to bed, but he didn't want the eldest princess of Ruyang to shake his head, "I've been lying down for a long time, and the bones of my whole body are soft, let me sit down." ”
Shizi led his mother to the warm kang in front of the window, while Mrs. Shizi was busy with the eldest maid to put away the bedding and pillow used by the night maid the night before, and replaced them with apricot-colored chair cushions and pillows.
Shizi waited for them to clean up before helping his mother to sit down.
"Who was it last night?"
"It's Jiumei and Yinghong. Mama Long said, knowing that the eldest princess was annoyed with the two of them, and she didn't pack up the bedding after getting up, Mama Long reminded the eldest princess in a low voice that the reason why the two of them didn't pack up the bedding was because they just got up, and the prince had something important to discuss and drove them out.
After the eldest princess heard this, the annoyance on her face faded, "Go back and warn them well, don't do it again in the future." ”
"Yes. Hearing this, Mama Long hurriedly responded, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, these days, the eldest princess's temper is too changeable, so that she is overwhelmed.
Mrs. Shizi brought the medicine bowl, and the eldest princess frowned when she saw the celadon lotus bowl in the tray in her hand, this medicine is really difficult to swallow, bitter and numb, after drinking it, the whole tongue is numb, and the mouth is full of bitterness, even if you eat the usually sweet and greasy preserved fruit, it is difficult to hide its bitter taste.
Mrs. Shizi coaxed the eldest princess to drink medicine like a child, and the prince waited for the eldest princess to drink the medicine before she said, "After all, Cui Juan's child is young and doesn't know people clearly, so she will be confused by the adulterer, and I hope that my mother won't worry about her." ”
"Hmph! She is young, but her mother is not young, and her nurse is such a thought, it is hard to guarantee that she did not indulge it. "Originally, it was good to see the second daughter-in-law anywhere, after all, there was her baby daughter Sun Cuijuan in front of the eldest princess to make up for her mother.
Because Sun Cuijuan's attention to Mama Huo, the eldest princess was dissatisfied, she was Sun Cuijuan's own grandmother, and she couldn't shirk it in every possible way to ask for peace when it rained lightly, and Mama Huo was killed with a cane, so she ignored the pouring rain outside, and hurriedly ran to her uncle to seek justice?
In the heart of her granddaughter, could it be that a lowly servant woman was more important than her grandmother?
Sun Cuijuan never imagined that this performance that she thought was affectionate and righteous, and the plus point that should have made her in the heart of the eldest princess would become a major minus.
Sun Cuijuan was grounded, Mrs. Shizi felt that although she was not satisfied, it was acceptable, although Mama Huo took on almost all the responsibility, but in the eyes of Mrs. Shizi, if the second lady did not have this kind of mind, how could a servant dare to do this?
Whether the second master thinks so, she doesn't know, but the second lady definitely has.
The guest house where the eldest princess of Ruyang lives is not small, and she can't hide it from other guests, and naturally she can't hide it from Li Qianqian.
For the eldest princess of Ruyang to ban Sun Cuijuan, Li Qianqian only felt funny, and didn't want to think about it, they are now living in an inn, banning Sun Cuijuan's feet? It is just a few days to ban her, because in a few days, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is an inn that has prepared a series of activities to invite the guests to participate in the grand event, she doesn't believe it, Sun Cuijuan can sit still.
"Shallow, what do you think? Laughing at this virtue, like a cat stealing fish. Zhang Duoli reached out and pinched Li's shallow cheek.
"No, I just thought that Sun Cuijuan was punished by the eldest princess, and I was happy. Li Qianqian asked Chunjiang to make tea, and asked Chunshou to bring freshly baked dim sum from the kitchen.
"Today there is lotus cake, as well as new lotus cakes, and lotus leaves and lotus. Chunshou brought the food box to the table, opened the food box, and brought out three plates of freshly baked dim sum.
The first plate is a lotus cake made in the shape of a lotus, which looks good, and the filling is red beans, which is fragrant and sweet, and it is very popular with female customers as soon as it is launched.
This lotus cake is the kitchen dim sum chef himself came up with, just try to make it, and sent a cage to Li Qianqian, Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli and Chunjiang they, before they ate it all, they exclaimed again and again, and when they ate it into their mouths, it was a burst of admiration, but for Li Qianqian, but Er'er, her reaction disappointed the people in the kitchen, because they thought that this dim sum could be favored by the sect leader, but they didn't expect the main person to react much, but the people around her loved it.
The cooks couldn't help but sigh, this master was too difficult to please.
Although the reaction of the sect leader was not as good as they expected, they still got the reward and advice from the sect leader.
After the dim sum chef got the suggestion, he immediately started to try it, Li Qianqian is a hands-off shopkeeper, although her suggestion is reliable, at least it is not a dark dish, but this amount is completely up to the chef himself.
For example, after she ate lotus crisp, her advice to the cook is, since it is a lotus shape, the filling does not have ingredients related to lotus lotus, it seems a bit unworthy of the name, it is recommended to add lotus seeds, lotus roots and other ingredients, in addition, since it is eaten in summer, it seems good to add some mint, or other ingredients to go to the heat, such as mung beans!
Anyway, she just said casually, whether she can do it or not, or what it looks like, whether she is popular or not is none of her business! She just said that what the cooks do is their business, and the results they make are popular, and they get rewards, and it has nothing to do with her.
So she is speaking completely irresponsibly.
But the cooks in the kitchen and the innkeeper and shopkeeper can't take it seriously!
So there are two other plates, lotus cake and lotus leaf lotus, the green lotus leaf cake has a square appearance, but also with the fragrance of lotus leaves, it should be according to Li Qianqian's suggestion, knead the lotus leaves into the dough, as for the filling! I haven't eaten it yet! I can't see it from the outside.
The shape of the lotus leaf lotus imitates the lotus leaf, made into a circle, probably after flattening, and the fresh lotus leaf is pressed on the top to make the leaf vein, and the lotus leaf is removed after the basket is steamed and baked, so the lotus leaf fragrance of the lotus leaf lotus is different from the fragrance of the lotus cake.
"Huh, this lotus cake is filled with mint, mung beans and lotus seeds?" Lan Tang took a piece of lotus cake to eat, and after tasting it carefully, he guessed what kind of filling it was.
Zhang Duoli took the lotus leaf lotus lotus cut into pieces, this cake is not sweet, but salty, the filling inside, Zhang Duoli can't eat, but it is very fragrant, after she finished eating, she couldn't help but take another piece to eat.
"This lotus leaf lotus should be a lotus root, right?" Li Qianqian took a bite and asked Chunshou.
Chunshou smiled and nodded, "It's still the sect leader, you are so powerful, you can even know it as soon as you eat it." ”
Zhang Duoli couldn't help but nod frequently in admiration.
Li Qianqian's eyes crooked with a smile, "What is this that I am so good! Didn't I tell them about lotus root that day? Since the lotus cake is sweet, I guess they will use lotus root to make salty fillings." ”
"That's still better than us!" Zhang Duoli said, thought for a while, and asked, "You say, if I go to ask the cook for this recipe, will they give it to me?"
"What do you want Fangzi for?" Lan Tang asked while eating, and Li Qianqian was instructing Chunjiang to take a copy of each to Mother Ye and Yang Liu, and asked Chunshou if Li Shu was there.
Zhang Duoli smiled a little shyly when she heard this, "I want to learn to make it for him!"
Who? Li Qianqian asked Chunjiang silently, and Chunjiang replied in the same way, her fiancé.
Oh.
Lan Tang looked at Zhang Duoli's hand with malicious intent, "Are you sure you take the recipe and make it?"
Belch...... Good question, what a hit the nail on the head!
It is said that there is a specialization in the art industry, Zhang Duoli is really powerful in her professional field, but her cooking skills are really, obviously giving her the same ingredients, the chef makes dishes with full color and flavor, and her eldest lady makes dark cuisine.
Just looking at it, I feel that this is the kind that must be eaten and must be a little life, not to mention, the taste of what she cooks is really flattering.
"Are you sure your fiancé will dare to eat the dim sum you made?"
Uh, well! Zhang Duoli was hit with no confidence.
If you want to give it to him, just let the cook cook it and send someone to send it to him. Lan Tang suggested.
Thinking that her fiancé also sent food to herself like this, Zhang Duoli nodded, and discussed with Li Qianqian, borrowing someone from her, she had no one to help her send food to her fiancé.
Li Qianqian agreed, "Although Sister Zhang herself is not good at cooking, since she is going to give it away, it is better to go to the kitchen and watch them do it, and it is considered to be a whole." Zhang Duoli thought about it, so she asked Chunshou to lead the way and take her to the kitchen.
Lan Tang waited for them to leave before asking Li Qianqian, "You deliberately sent her away?"
"yes! I'm embarrassed to let her know, I don't remember who her fiancé is!" Li Qianqian was embarrassed to reach out and scratch his nose.
Lan Tang chuckled, "It's normal that you don't remember, because she didn't say it at all." ”
"Ah, that's not my fault?"
"Well, but looking at the appearance of those who were ordered to send things, her fiancé should not be from the martial arts, but from an official family, so I don't know if he is a civil official or a military general. Lan Tang said thoughtfully, "I don't know which country it is." ”
Li Qianqian thought for a while, and pulled Lan Tang to find Liu Er, Liu Er was in the pigeon yard specializing in raising pigeons, and was a little surprised when he heard their intentions, "It turns out that the sect leader doesn't know, who is Miss Zhang's future husband's family?"
"Huh. Li Qianqian smiled lightly, glared at him and threatened, "Don't let Miss Zhang know!"
"Yes. You can rest assured. Liu Er laughed, "Miss Zhang's future husband is Wang Zixian, the grandson of Wang Guangfu, the second assistant of Zhao Guo. Wang Zixian is the second son of Wang Xiang's sixth son, Wang Xiang and Zhang Lao are fellow villagers, the Wang family was weak in the early years, and it was all funded by the Zhang family to survive the tribulations again and again. ”
Wang Guangfu was born poor, it is not easy to climb to the position of the second assistant, he has married three wives, each wife has brought him a lot of wealth, Wang Zixian's father Wang Jiangjian is the concubine of Wang Xiang's favor, the first five brothers are all concubines, respectively, from the three wives, Wang Jiangjian is the first concubine child of the Wang family, after him, there are still four concubine children, the youngest of which is the concubine, and Wang Jiangjian is the same mother.
"Coincidentally, Wang Zixian's mother and Second Lady Sun are cousins. Liu Er threw out the news unappreciably, which shocked Li Qianqian and Lan Tang.
"Then ......" Li Qianqian was stunned for a long time before asking, "Then ask her for help, is it her fiancé who booked a room at an inn?
Liu Er nodded, "It should be." Moreover, the mother of this prince once intended to marry Sun Cuijuan for her son, but you also know who Sun Cuijuan wanted to marry. ”
Li Qianqian nodded, "What about Wang Gongzi himself......?"
At present, it seems that he has nothing to do with Sun Cuijuan, but Sun Cuijuan's sister-in-law Sun Cuichan and sister-in-law Sun Cuifang both have a good impression of Wang Gongzi, and the two of them are very positive, and often come to the door under the pretext of excuses, Wang Gongzi is hindered by relatives, and it is not easy to refuse directly. ”
asked Liu Er to say that he felt that the prince was quite enjoyable, and the two girls competed to show favor to him, but he didn't say this to Li Qianqian.
"It's hard to refuse!" Li Qianqian looked at Liu Er for a while and asked, "Do you think he is really hard to refuse, but he still enjoys it very much, and there are women who show favor to him?"
He didn't say anything, did he? Why would his head of the family ask such a thing?
Lan Tang pointed to his face and smiled, "Liu Er, your face is so funny! You have written all the things you think on your face, how can you not see it." ”
Liu Er smiled awkwardly, "You can't hide anything from the sect leader." ”
Li Qian smiled and didn't speak, Wang Zixian is young after all, there are young and beautiful girls vying to show favor to him, even if he doesn't have a good impression of them, but he won't mind their gestures, that should make him feel very popular, people want to be popular, and be liked, how can Wang Zixian be an exception?
It's just that he is already engaged, and it is a little inappropriate to refuse the woman who took the initiative to show him favor.
"Does he live in the Eldest Princess's Mansion or the Hou Mansion now?"
"Hou Mansion. Liu Er smiled and said to Li Qianqian, "He is the nephew of Second Lady Sun, and it is impossible for him to live in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, so far, only the daughter of the eldest princess's relatives, and Sun Cuijuan has lived in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for a long time, and the daughters of the eldest house are not this honor." ”
It is no wonder that Mama Huo is confident that she can pull the prince off the horse and let the second master take the position of the son, the reason is that the eldest princess has a preference for Sun Cuijuan, and the reason why Sun Cuijuan can get the eldest princess's bias is not unrelated to Mama Huo's strategy behind her back.
"But now that Mama Huo's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have both been killed with a cane, and Sun Cuijuan has also been grounded, I think the position of the son in the next life should be stable. ”
That's not necessarily, Li Qianqian said that if the second master has the heart to fight, the prince may not be able to fight him, but what the Pingchuan Marquis Mansion has to deal with at present is not this problem, but the private soldiers who helped Prince Ping train on his behalf, as well as the iron mine, these problems have not been dealt with well, after the emperor knows about it, there will be no Pingchuan Marquis Mansion in the future, this is the biggest crisis of the Pingchuan Marquis Mansion.
