Chapter 007: Raise a glass to the wine and share the bright moon

Su Peisheng is five years older than Yinzhen, and he has been waiting by Yinzhen's side since he was a child, he is a slave, but he is also a playmate.

Yinzhen has been raised by Empress Xiao Yiren when he was a child, and Empress Xiao Yiren treated him very well when he was alive, so Yinzhen was still very happy before the age of five.

In the twenty-second year of Kangxi, Empress Xiaoyiren died of illness, and Yinzhen's biological mother Concubine De was in charge of the harem, but at this time, Concubine De loved Yinzuo, the sixth prince who had been raised by her side and was favored by Kangxi, and was very cold to Yinzhen, who had been given to others to raise early.

At this time, Yinzhen was only five years old, which was the period of character development. lost his mother's love, and was not valued by his father, from being loved to being neglected, which made Yinzhen's character become withdrawn and indifferent, and at this time, by his side, there was only Su Peisheng who had been waiting for him.

Su Peisheng is not as cunning and flattering as ordinary eunuchs, he is smart and insightful, sleek, steady, and knows how to behave in the world, which just makes up for some deficiencies in Yinzhen's character. Therefore, Yinzhen has always trusted and respected him very much, and he is also the object of fawning favor with everyone in the house, and even the Li family, who is being favored now, is a little jealous.

Su Peisheng has a good eye, and when he saw that it was useless to persuade his master to eat before, but now the master was interested in drinking two cups, so he left his heart. Hearing me ask if the master had eaten, he answered, although he didn't say it explicitly, but it meant that he wanted me to help persuade him.

I don't have the heart to talk to anyone, but I have always felt that although Yinzhen has mixed evaluations in history, judging from his conscientiousness and a series of propositions after taking power, as well as the development of national strength at that time, he is definitely more worthy of the title of Mingjun than his father Kangxi. It's a pity that his reign was too short, but it gave his son Qianlong a good reputation. For this reason, he naturally hopes that he can take good care of his body, although no matter what he does, he can't change the final result.

In fact, I knew that Yinzhen didn't eat dinner, and I heard the people in the dining room say that they were busy after urging several times, and the dishes that these masters ate couldn't be heated back and forth all the time, so I had to say that I would wait for when the master wanted to eat and then make it, so I waited for this hour.

"Drinking on an empty stomach is easy to hurt the body, but since the fourth master is interested, the slave should be accompanied, but it happens that the slave is also hungry, so let the slave personally cook a few meals and snacks, the fourth master can first pad, and then drink slowly, and by the way, reward the slave for a few sips?"

Yin Zhen glanced at me, a smile that was imperceptible on his lips, nodded, and said, "Let Su Peisheng go with you, he knows my preferences." ”

Seeing that the master did not object, Su Peisheng was overjoyed, and led me to the kitchen in response

The chrysanthemum garden is not far from the dining room, because I know that the master has not eaten yet, so I also left someone waiting. said that I would do it, so I didn't let these cooks do it, but just let them prepare the ingredients according to Yinzhen's appetite.

Listening to Su Peisheng, Yinzhen has been busy since the end of the court, and he didn't eat a few bites in the morning and noon, and now he is hungry to this hour. Originally, when it was hot, people would have no appetite, he didn't eat much this day, it was too depleting to the body, if he got some greasy things, not only could not eat, but also caused a burden on the stomach and liver, not to mention that he had to drink, it was simply suicidal.

After thinking about it like this, I simply cooked a pot of porridge with japonica rice and monkey mushrooms, and then made a dish of vinegar to soak white radish. Su Peisheng said that Yinzhen didn't like dishes with too strong tastes, so he made fried shrimp balls with straw mushrooms and loofah and Mongolian beef. After finishing it all, Su Peisheng tasted it first, and thought it tasted good, so he took Yinzhen's favorite lamb wine and served it together.

"Eat first, then drink" The wine and dishes were all ready, and he saw that Yinzhen was about to pour the wine jug when he picked up the wine jug, and he didn't have time to taboo anything, so he hurriedly snatched the wine jug from his hand and replaced it with a porridge bowl and stuffed it into a porridge bowl for him.

"Yes, master, Miss Geng said that this monkey mushroom porridge is not only stomach-nourishing, but also appetizing, why don't you drink a bowl first and taste Miss Geng's craftsmanship?" Su Peisheng also helped persuade beside him.

"You girl is not small. Yinzhen put down the porridge bowl in his hand, glanced at me, and said coldly.

"The slave is anxious for the body of the fourth master, and if he is blamed by the fourth master because of this, he has to bear it. I bet in my heart that he would not be easy to attack, although he bent his knees and confessed, he still said back.

Yin Zhen didn't speak, reached out and took another bowl full of porridge, put it on the opposite side of the table, and said, "Aren't you hungry?"

"The slave is hungry, but the fourth master hasn't eaten yet, how dare the slave eat, wait for the fourth master to finish eating, just reward the slave with a bite" I didn't know what he wanted to do when I saw Yinzhen take the bowl, but when I saw him put the porridge on the other side of the table, I suddenly had a guess, and I was shocked.

"Sit down and eat together, it's too lonely to eat alone" Yinzhen pointed to the opposite side.

"This ......," I hesitated.

Yinzhen's image has always been a stereotypical and strict person in my heart, not smiling, not understanding customs, and not being considerate. Although I don't think he is terrible, he has a sense of distance that he can't get close, unlike the ones in the Eight Masters who feel easy to get close to at first glance.

But now, I didn't expect him to personally help me serve porridge and let me sit at the same table. I certainly don't think that a twenty-four-year-old would have any ambiguity with me at thirteen. In the face of all this, in addition to feeling flattered, there is also a kind of snickering joy of discovering the unknown side.

"If the master asks you to sit, you will sit," Su Peisheng reminded in a whisper behind him.

Seeing Su Peisheng say this, he had to take a deep breath, got up and walked to the table and sat down, carefully picked up the bowl, and said to Yinzhen: "If the fourth master doesn't eat, the slave doesn't dare to eat first."

The corners of Yinzhen's lips hooked an obvious smile, softening the originally handsome but cold face. He took a bite and said, "Not bad."

Seeing that Yinzhen finally began to eat, Su Peisheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at me with some unclear meaning in his eyes.

I looked at Yinzhen, didn't explore Su Peisheng's thoughts, and saw Yinzhen put the porridge into his mouth one by one, and the satisfaction of a small achievement arose, and he unceremoniously ate the love porridge filled with the hands of the future Yongzheng Ye.

Yinzhen really ate very little, after a bowl of porridge, he asked Su Peisheng to fill the two cups, handed me a cup, took a sip himself, and said, "Seeing that you are not very old, you are very capable." ”

"Thirteen years old is not too young, I will enter the palace next year to be selected, no matter whether I choose or not, I must learn to take care of myself, and I can't let my parents worry. Speaking of the draft, there was another melancholy in my heart, and I picked up the cup and took a drink.

"Then do you want to be selected or not?" asked Yinzhen.

This is a difficult question to answer, the person who asked the question has a special identity, if he doesn't want to, it is disrespectful to the ancestral system, and if he wants to, it is too against his will. After thinking about it, I had to play Tai Chi and said: "Being able to enter the palace to serve is naturally a great creation, but the slave's parents only have a slave daughter under their knees, and they are somewhat reluctant." ”

"You girl is very good at talking, in fact, it is two words - unwilling. Yin Zhen debunked the meaning of my words, and a narrow smile appeared in his eyes.

Facing Yinzhen's penetration, he smiled disapprenously and said, "It's good that the fourth master knows, so why bother to say it." ”

"If you really don't want to be an errand in the palace, when the time comes, I will inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs and arrange for you to come to the palace. Yin Zhen said and put a piece of Mongolian veal in his mouth, frowning: "This dish tastes good, but the fire is too much, and it will be better if the time is shorter next time." ”

Yinzhen took the initiative to mention the matter of going to the house on an errand, and I didn't object, after all, this is the best way when there is no way. When I heard the word "next time" again, I felt that my head was full of black lines, and my heart said that I am not a cook, so I should not have a next time. But I couldn't say this, and I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I had to bury my head and drink a sip of wine to hide my embarrassment.

"Full of heavy martial arts, women are good at riding and shooting, heroic temperament, and the amount of alcohol is not bad. Han people are still literate, women are raised in the boudoir, and they nurture their temperament, and there are more etiquette rules. Although you are in the banner, you are also a Han girl, and it seems that Geng Dejin is also an open-minded person. Because of my silence, the two of them suddenly fell silent, and after a while, they heard Yinzhen speak first.

"My father is indeed enlightened, and he named me Wen Yang, which shows that he wants me to be as tenacious and self-reliant as a poplar tree, and not to someone like a silk flower. "After three rounds of drinking, I talked a lot, and I blurted out my name when I was slightly drunk.

"Wen Yang" Yin Zhen muttered, took a sip of wine and praised, "It is indeed a good name, beautiful, intelligent, tenacious and independent." ”

"Women can't pin their fate on others, otherwise it will only become a tragedy. "Lamb wine is made using the method of rice wine. At the beginning, the entrance was sweet, but the stamina was great, and he was a little confused when he was greedy for a while, and the atmosphere was harmonious, and he forgot the identity of the person in front of him between his words.

"But women need to be attached to men in order to live," Yinzhen's smile faded, and he lowered his eyes and answered thoughtfully.

"Whoever said that, just had no choice. My consciousness was a little blurry, blindfolded in a daze, and I looked at him stubbornly and said, "If it were me, even if there was no man, I could live well." ”——

The author has something to say: I originally planned to be ambiguous here, but after calculating the age, I think that if the twenty-four-year-old fourth master looks at the thirteen-year-old heroine, he feels a little pedophilic and perverted, so let it all develop naturally, after all, our heroine will have a long, long time to communicate with the fourth master in the future, and she is not in a hurry.
