Chapter 40: The Cold Palace Diet
The next day, Qi Kaiji opened the lock of the gate of the cold palace, and came in to deliver food, the breakfast of the widows of the previous dynasty is fixed, if it is not brown rice porridge, if it is not millet porridge, occasionally there are a little pebbles in the porridge, and the ladies have to eat it and spit it it out, but he is kind-hearted, every time he brings it to the concubine, he picks the most rice, the lightest bowl of porridge water, don't force the taste and appearance, anyway, there are no stones, at most he can mix a soup full, he is also worthy of the bracelets and jewelry that the concubine stuffed him.
It's just that it's okay not to read the pair of bracelets of mutton fat jade, as soon as he thinks of this, he gets angry, and finally he gets angry for a long time and comes to a conclusion;
It seems that no matter which country the slave comes from, it feels like the same father and mother were born in the world, and there are still too few kind-hearted people like him, who went to the dining room in the morning to eat, and the people over there even sprinkled a handful of fine salt in the porridge have to reach out and dig out your silver, and when they see that they can't leave, they raise their hands to put the porridge on the ground, saying that the big guy is busy making breakfast for Concubine Cheng, so that he quickly took something and rolled it.
In the end, it is a group of lower ninth-rate people who do not use their brains, Qi Kaiji thought angrily, he had been the deputy chief manager for a while, and now he was going to be waved out like flies when he served breakfast. His master Ma Jinbao is also greedy, but he is greedy, when he used to be an errand in the dining room, he only picked up the big head to rub the oil and water, and those small jobs were not taken into account at all, so as not to force people too much, and the small attendants at the bottom wanted to take the opportunity to rebel.
It's natural to take a little advantage in doing housekeeping, but you can't behave too badly, otherwise you will be poked in the backbone sooner or later.
Look at the current situation, who are the people who pick up the beams in the dining room, one by one with their nostrils facing the sky, and when they see that their master has won the battle, they think that they can follow the chicken dog to heaven.
A slave is a slave, and if you divide the high and low, you are just a slave;
Do you really think that if you move everything into the Jing Palace, you will be superior to others, and you can search for it by your temperament?
Bah!!
Qi Kaiji looked at the bowls of clear porridge water that could shine on people's faces, and felt that the food in this cold palace was really picky, and it was not as good as the overnight rancid water.
In fact, Guanghan Palace was not a cold palace in the past, but it was the most favored concubine of the Holy Ancestor, the place where Li Ji lived, there was no real cold palace in Yasukuni, and if she fell out of favor, she was either framed to death by a swarm of women, or she took the initiative to ask that she would go to the National Temple to cut her hair and be a sister-in-law; 。
Qi Kaiji is already familiar with the various interpersonal relationships in the cold palace, and halfway through, he met Qi Guiren who came out for a walk, and the nobleman has always been very kind, and nodded to him when he saw him coming, and greeted: "Father-in-law Qi is here." ”
"Hey, please be nice to your nobles. Qi Kaiji bowed and politely said goodbye to Qi Guiren, although there was no lady in the cold palace, it was just a nice thing to say, he called them masters, so that they felt respected, and finally there was some comfort.
There's no harm in being polite, and a move of your mouth can make them stop for a long time, so why not?
Qi Gui is different from the crazy Zhaoyi, the daughter of the concubine, since she entered the palace, she has cut off contact with the family, there is no concern, and there is nothing that she can't let go, because she looks in a good mental state, she cleaned herself up early in the morning, embroidered a sleeping rabbit on her head, and walked around the corner of the cold palace alone.
Qi Kaiji watched her stroll around several times, thinking that she was sent to the cold palace, and she was also a strange person who could still be in the mood to exercise in the morning.
No wonder the concubine used to say that in addition to the beauties in the deep palace, there are either geniuses in the world, and there are those who are blinded by the competition for favor, and when they meet the emperor by chance, they stand on their feet, and there are gossips when they catch people, and the rumors are all distorted, and it is another lesson in the ears of the emperor, and I don't know what is going on in my head.
Qi Guiren's family is in Quzhou, and he used to do the medicinal herb business, but later made a fortune, so he spent a lot of money to buy a six-grade petty official, and he became a four-grade member step by step, otherwise at that level, when he entered the palace draft, he would be brushed down in the first round, and he would not give favors.
Now Quzhou has also changed to the territory of Xiangguo, her family is fine, and her official position is still there, but she was beaten back to the prototype and lowered back from Sipin, which is really a pity that the money spent on buying officials back then.
Qi Kaiji saw that Qi Guiren's hair and clothes were a little plain, but there were actually embroidered patterns on them, a small flower and a small grass, it must have been a lot of silver from the family, maybe when the situation stabilized, there was also the intention of reaching out to fish her out.
In essence, women are not the same as men, one can't carry the burden, and the other can't make some food by themselves, and there are very few times to rely on themselves, for example, at this moment, the meaning of flattery in Qi Guiren's words is obvious, and he also said that next time he will play more and let him take it out and sell it, and half of the money sold is half of the money for each person, plus those subsidies from Qi Guiren's own family, it is simply an over-standard treatment in Guanghan Palace.
Qi Kaiji responded with a stack of voices, and watched Qi Guiren continue to walk in circles in the cold palace, walking with a body like flowing water, with a large hip and a thin waist, at first glance, it is a healthy and healthy body, which shows that without the second princess, she may not be much concerned.
In the end, it is not biological, where is there any relationship after raising it for a few months, so at this time, Liu Cainu has already been posted as the head of Fu, and the second princess has also sent the saint to the lord of Pingyang Weng in advance, presumably without Liu Cainu such an unreliable mother-in-law, she can at least grow up well.
The lord of Weng is usually the person who is involved in the royal family, and the years when Qi Kaiji entered the palace are still shallow, I only remember that the Pingyang Weng lord is surnamed Baili, with a single name and a Jing, and the family background is particularly good.
Now Pingyang and Shangjing are facing each other in pairs, no matter how you look at it, the emperor is far away, and he can't go to Beijing for a while, and the soldiers of Pingyang Weng's government can't immediately support Yuguan, so Liu Cainu and Qi Guiren are very happy, and they don't have to carry any oil bottles.
Li Zhaoyi is now the number one patient in the cold palace, and he is reluctant to die at the expense of his life, but he can't help but go crazy, he has to grab the ashes on the ground all day long, and insists that the ashes are scattered with five stones, and it is better to fall asleep, and when he wakes up, he will definitely jump up and down in the house, which really makes him tired enough.
Qi Kaiji's lunch break was very short, but he didn't want to spend the past so wasted, so he had nothing to say to chat with someone, and when he chatted, he also told the concubine that Qi Guiren just said that he wanted to fight the concubine, which means that the concubine should also be angry, not to mention the bracelet of mutton fat jade, even the gold and silver mountains are always squandered, he thinks that the concubine is very beautiful, and he is a little careful, but he can't always open a small stove for her alone~
When he spoke, he was sitting on a small stool, and the concubine was wrapped in a dirty fox fur, which was fixed on the edge of the bed like a rock, as if she was lazy to look at him, but just stretched out a pair of purple and white hands from the fox fur to hold the porridge and drink, white is the white of her hands, and purple is the frostbite that was frozen out of her hands, and the color contrast is particularly large.
Pampered for so many years, sure enough, the skin-flesh was raised, and it couldn't withstand a little stimulation, and the chilblains were the most taboo to scratch, it was estimated that the concubine was itching badly, but it broke after just one or two scratches, and it was bulging up like a big piece.
Qi Kaiji secretly wrote it down, thinking about whether to steal half a piece of ginger from the dining room tomorrow and come back, the ginger skin outside was ground and mixed into the porridge, and the ginger juice inside was used by her to wipe her hands, otherwise it would not look good if she left a scar.
Warm porridge is better than cold steamed buns, so you can drink a little bit of it.
I didn't have any taste in my mouth, so I just took the bowl and put it in my mouth as a routine.
I thought about Li Zhaoyi's howl all night last night, but I still haven't figured out what Fu Ji's last words were to me before he let go of his hand and left me.
The sentence was short and few words.
But I know that I can't see it right, why can't I remember it afterwards?
.................
Since I haven't figured it out all night, let's put it on for now.
I patched my mattress yesterday, and today I have to repair the robe I am wearing again.
Ah Qi held his chin on the small stool, seeing that I was holding the bowl and drinking the porridge so delicately, I felt very fresh: "Qing porridge is not as good as crab roe porridge, if there is this condition now, I will definitely roll up my sleeves and show you a hand!"
"Hmm" I replied to him, feeling that this slave is really solid-eyed, and I still remember what I like to drink at this time.
I was a little moved in my heart, and I rarely had a little smile on my face: "Then you remember, if you have a chance in the future, you must do it so that I can try it again~"
Qi Kaiji got a response, and his mood became very happy, probably for the first time in his life, he was laughed at by a beauty and lost his soul, and the laughing Sanyang Kaitai was gone, but he just hated to take off her fox fur and wash it by hand now, and ensure that the wash was clean and sent back to her.
After that, Ah Qi said a lot of things like an old mother like his mouth had opened the floodgates;
But those who should have listened listened didn't hear a word;
I replied to him earlier, and the rest of the time, I was thinking about Fu Ji.
Seeing that I put the bowl down, Ah Qi got up and came forward to clean up, still scolding in his mouth, saying that the dining room was full of dog slaves, and the dog's eyes were not so low.
It's strange that he's a slave himself, and now he's arranging his own people.
I watched Ah Qi gradually walk away, and I guessed that he would have to complain to me so scolding when he delivered dinner in the evening;
Well, it looks like I should have prepared a ball of cotton in advance;
When the time comes, plug your ears and be quiet.
