373, a palace gate (14)
In the palace, clothing, food, housing and transportation are all according to their respective status, and if they are the same masters, they also depend on the rank of the masters of each palace.
It stands to reason that the little lord who is not favored by the emperor is like Gao Ruyue, and the food distributed every day is like being divided from a big pot of rice, and the serving eunuch in the imperial dining room will give it to them at regular intervals.
Even if the eunuch who delivered the food in the middle stole some food, those unfavored little masters did not dare to lose their temper with the eunuch in the imperial dining room, lest the food delivered in the future be deducted more, or spit on by the eunuch who passed the food.
It's not impossible to eat food other than customized, as long as you have money and can buy the imperial chef and eunuch in the imperial dining room, then you can still improve your own food.
But although the little lord Gao Ruyue served was the daughter of an official, the family didn't have much money for her to take care of the relationship in the palace, so she was still more frugal.
Every time Gao Ruyue said that she was serving the little lord Zhao Xuezhen what she wanted to eat, in fact, Zhao Xuezhen gave silver, how she made it difficult for Gao Ruyue Not to say it first, being able to plot Gao Ruyue once also means that she is not an idiot, so she still understands the way to survive in the palace.
It's just that a daughter like Gao Ruyue, after entering the palace, she also learned to "fill her own pocket", and she was greedy for a little money, and she would see if the food was expensive every time she gave the money given by Zhao Xuezhen, and deduct some silver money according to this, or swallow it all by herself.
This time, it seems that she feels that it is worthless, so she is not ready to give it to Dongmei.
Dongmei heard that she was taking white fungus soup, which is easy to do. It's really a matter of scooping a bowl in a big soup pot, and it looks quite tall when it is packed in the soup cup brought by Gao Ruyue for a while.
The mouth dessert, the soup chef will not say anything.
It's much easier to solve than to take other food, after all, the price of ingredients is different, white fungus soup is boiled all the time, and other dishes have to be made separately.
In the past, the money Gao Ruyue took every time could only be used as food material money, and the imperial chef didn't look down on it. Dongmei asks for people. It's okay to please the imperial chef, and you have to pay filial piety to the imperial chefs when you receive the moon.
"I'm going to make a bowl for Ruyue. "Miss has a request, and Dongmei is the first to complete it, although she really wants to talk to Miss more. But the young lady obviously didn't want to hear her rambling. Dongmei was also afraid of delaying the young lady to return to her life. was embarrassed by her little master Zhao Xuezhen.
"Wait, I'd like to ask Arashi. What's wrong with Xiao Lanzi, I had an awkward fight with him some time ago, you know, he was like that, he was absolutely embarrassed to face me, and he didn't want to see me at all, so he ....... Gao Ruyue waited with her eyes and looked at Dongmei helplessly, as if she had really been wronged by Wei Xinlan.
"Ruyue, Xiao Lanzi is doing well, you don't need to worry. Dongmei felt that Gao Ruyue and Xiao Lanzi said something different, and in her heart she felt that she should believe Miss, but Xiao Lanzi was not as hysterical as Miss said after entering the palace.
"Hey, by the way, how is the Xiao Linzi who treats you as a younger brother? Did you finally go into the inner kitchen to help?" said Wei Xinlan earlier just to attract the topic she was most concerned about, pretending not to know that Xiao Linzi had entered Concubine De Yonghe Palace, Gao Ruyue stared at Dongmei's face and observed her expression.
Dongmei didn't realize that she was being tricked by Gao Ruyue, and said happily, "He didn't do chores here, Xiao Lanzi took him to Concubine De's palace to serve, it should be much better than in the imperial dining room." β
"To be able to go to Concubine De's study to serve, that's really his great creation, another day Xiao Linzi will be as important as Concubine De like Xiao Lanzi, and I will definitely thank you for taking care of him at the beginning, don't forget to care more about Xiao Linzi and Xiao Lanzi, so as not to lose friendship." You're freer than I am, hey. Gao Ruyue was a little unhappy in her heart, Wei Xinlan was actually better than her, and her tone was a little sour, but she continued to talk nonsense.
Dongmei looked at Gao Ruyue inexplicably, "Ruyue, don't talk nonsense in the future, everyone is serving the master, it is deserved, there is no kindness, besides, Xiao Linzi did not enter Concubine De's study to serve, don't listen to outsiders talking nonsense." β
The fish took the bait, isn't that an idiot topic to say this for the sake of your words, Gao Ruyue was a little dissatisfied that she was preached by Dongmei because of this, and continued to ask, "Ah? Didn't you say that Concubine De's study needs eunuch service? I thought you said that Xiao Linzi was literate, and you recommended him to Xiao Lanzi, so it must be to go to the study to serve, so what is he doing now?"
"Serve the small garden of Yonghe Palace. Dongmei said.
"Ah, isn't that similar to doing chores before? Dongmei, isn't Xiao Lanzi not doing his best to help you, he is a celebrity in front of Concubine De, and he can't even install a person recommended by a friend of yours into the study to replace his previous job, and he's also, hey, it's really not worth it for you. Gao Ruyue wanted to provoke the relationship between the two, she could see that Wei Xinlan was still better for Dongmei, at least better than her, so she would provoke Dongmei to target Wei Xinlan.
"Ruyue, this kind of thing is all up to the master, and Xiao Lanzi has done her best. "Miss really has some misunderstanding about Xiao Lanzi.
"Dongmei, why are you so stupid, okay, I won't say it, you also leave a way back for yourself, whether Xiao Lanzi will be reliable in the future, I don't know, but you still have a younger brother like Xiao Linzi, you are good to him, I see it in my eyes, he is a grateful person, and he will definitely not forget you when he gains power in the future, so you must think about yourself and his future, plan more, take advantage of the fact that Xiao Lanzi still remembers your previous kindness, you have the opportunity to let Xiao Lanzi help your younger brother Xiao Linzi more, Xiao Linzi is not dedicated, and if you exert a little effort, you can also let Xiao Linzi be looked at by Concubine De, rightγ β
In this passage, there are many sentences in the previous life, Gao Ruyue also said to Dongmei and Wei Xinlan, let them work hard for each other, and gave up Wei Xinlan in this life, Gao Ruyue made Dongmeiduo and Xiaolinzi close.
Seeing that Dongmei was stunned by what she said, Gao Ruyue continued worriedly, "Dongmei, believe what Miss said, we grew up together since childhood, and we are like sisters. I'm just scared that you stupid girl won't take care of herself. I don't have the ability, I haven't been picked by His Majesty, in more than 1 year, I will be out of the palace, I can't look at you, when the time comes, leave you a stupid girl in the palace, I'm very worried, Xiao Lanzi is not a real uncle after all, why does he take care of you, right? And you still know what happened to him before. Know his predicament. He certainly doesn't want to get too close to you, lest he be reminded of painful memories. β
"Ruyue, Xiao Lanzi, he is not such a person, he ....... "Although what the young lady said was all about herself. Dongmei was a little moved in her heart. But Dongmei still felt that something was wrong. Xiao Lanzi is obviously very good, why does Ruyue say that about him?
After all, Dongmei has been a subordinate, and she doesn't think that the words of the subordinate can easily influence the master's decision. What's more, Xiao Lanzi also said at the beginning, whether Xiao Linzi can stay at that time depends on whether Concubine De can look at it or not.
Therefore, Dongmei felt that Gao Ruyue was thinking too much, and wanted to help Wei Xinlan say two good words in front of Gao Ruyue.
"Dongmei, you don't listen to Miss!" Before Dongmei finished speaking, Gao Ruyue saw Dongmei's suspicious gaze, and was a little displeased, so she interrupted Dongmei's words.
If it was at home, Gao Ruyue would have slapped her in the face, and now it is in the palace, she didn't dare to rashly play Dongmei outside the imperial dining room, for fear of being seen, but her tone was also strong.
"I listen, I'll remember, miss. I hadn't called Miss for a long time, but in the face of Gao Ruyue's stern expression and reprimanding tone, Dongmei seemed to have returned to her childhood, and couldn't help but admit her mistake in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, Dongmei, I'm all for your good, you'll know later. Gao Ruyue knew that she wouldn't hear any news today, but Dongmei would definitely do what she asked, so why should she worry that Xiao Linzi's chess piece would not reach the height she hoped for?
"Yes, little, sister. "After entering the palace, serving in the imperial dining room, I often have to face the brainwashing and education of Lord Shanshang, I am afraid that these little cubs do not serve in front of the master every day, so they forget to serve cautiously and cautiously, and educate from time to time, that is, to be loyal to the emperor, to serve the palace masters, and warn everyone not to form gangs, all the masters of the eunuch palace maid and the imperial chef, there is only one, that is His Majesty the Emperor.
In addition, Tong Xinlan always deepens Dongmei's impression of this concept when she meets from time to time, and Gao Ruyue is not her master now, but also a palace maid who serves people.
Now, being forced by Gao Ruyue's strong aura, Dongmei felt that she was a little dry and sad to call this young lady.
Xiao Lanzi was still a child who could take the top exam before, and when she entered the palace, she was also polite to her, and she cared about her as if she was a sister, and she no longer told her to do things with the attitude of her former son.
Ruyue has been in the palace for so long, and she still hasn't learned how to serve people, she is always beaten and scolded by her little lord Zhao Xuezhen, she kindly taught her, she is impatient, and now she reprimands her with the attitude she used to be the master.
Dongmei felt a little aggrieved.
Thinking of the other unfavored little masters who sent people to get the food outside the custom, the eunuch and palace maid who didn't greet them with a smile in the imperial dining room would also give some benefits.
When she didn't have a good relationship with everyone at the beginning, she also risked being scolded and punished, and scooped up the "free" soup hard, but now she is mixed and takes low-priced food, and she will also use her monthly salary to honor those cooks.
Dongmei felt very aggrieved, after entering the palace, taking such care of Ruyue was also based on the love of growing up together since childhood, and felt that the three of them were the closest in the palace.
However, now, she found that Ruyue didn't really regard her as an equal sister, and in her heart, she actually regarded her as a maid.
A sour feeling surged up her throat, and the quality of the maid she had trained since she was a child made her suppress her emotions and enter the house to make white fungus soup in a proper manner.
Dongmei secretly screamed bad luck, Chef Yun, who was in charge of making soup, was busy in front of the soup pot stove, and also saw her coming over with a bowl.
Hey, I was a little distracted just now, otherwise I would have found out that Chef Yun was there earlier, and I would have gone to make soup when Chef Yun walked away.
In this case, as long as Dongmei doesn't sprinkle things into the soup pot and make a mistake of principle, even if other eunuchs and palace maids see it, they won't care about Dongmei making soup, who doesn't have a time when they don't collect money for the unfavored little main sugar water, and they don't want to give money to the chef?
Dongmei smiled wryly, "Chef Yun, I'll scoop a bowl of white fungus soup." β
"Oh, which palace master wants it, I'll register it here. "In the imperial dining room, the regular food must be registered, which is also to avoid people spreading the food indiscriminately, and if something happens at that time, the source can also be found.
There is another one, that is, if it is the white fungus soup in the specifications, there is no need to charge money, and if it is not to the grade, it will not be eaten for free, and it is necessary to give money, which is also a way for the imperial chefs to make extra money.
"Well, hehe, I want a small bowl, Chef Yun, I want to drink it myself, don't let people know if it's okay? When the time comes, when I make the seven-color flower pastry, can you please taste it first?" Last month's Yuefeng had already honored Gao Ruyue's other cooks, and Dongmei didn't have the money to buy white fungus soup, so she had to cheekily cover the pot on her head.
"You are a delicious ghost, you are the most greedy in our imperial dining room, fortunately what you love to eat is not a lot of expensive things, tsk, come and help me taste the taste of this pot of soup, for sweet things, you are the most researched, see if the sugar I put is still appropriate?" Chef Yun also likes to eat all kinds of pastries made by Dongmei, and the seven-color flower cake that Dongmei said is a newly developed variety when he hears it, and he can try it when the time comes, so he said let her taste it, so as not to let everyone see him give Dongmei white fungus soup for free.
Simply, after more than a year of getting along, Dongmei also understood the temper of these cooks, if it was at the beginning, for Gao Ruyue, she was also punished several times.
Thinking about it like this, Dongmei felt very sour in her heart.
gave the bowl to Gao Ruyue, Dongmei found an opportunity and walked towards Yonghe Palace, wanting to tell Xiao Lanzi about the grievances in her heart.
Tong Xinlan saw Dongmei dissatisfied with Gao Ruyue for the first time, and knew that her long-term eye medicine had finally worked, Gao Ruyue was dissatisfied with Dongmei teaching her as equal sisters, and Dongmei was also dissatisfied that she was still looked down upon by Gao Ruyue, so that the contradiction would naturally break out.
Therefore, Tong Xinlan seized the opportunity to talk and knew the general course of the matter.
However, Tong Xinlan's purpose is not to let Dongmei go against Gao Ruyue in the future, Wei Xinlan hopes that Dongmei will get out of Gao Ruyue's control, be a palace maid who guards herself safely, and spend her life safely, Tong Xinlan will naturally not use Dongmei as a pawn to deal with Gao Ruyue and go against the wishes of the client.
Revenge, one of yourself is enough, the chess pieces are ready, and Dongmei is not required to participate.
Therefore, Tong Xinlan began to do Dongmei's ideological work, "Silly girl, don't be sad. (To be continued.) )
