Chapter 43: The Second Day of the Wedding (5)
She doesn't want to cause trouble in the house, and it's not impossible to hand over the affairs of the family to Chen Jiao'er, so she can be idle. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but she had to think about it, if Chen Jiaoer's power was in her hands, her face would change, and her good days would really come to an end.
"Go to the palace today, the queen mother said that she will send two grandmothers to the house to teach the rules, and my sister will also have the opportunity to enter the palace in the future, let's learn some together." She said with kindness on her face.
Chen Jiao'er was stunned for a moment, and soon responded with a smile: "Sister Xie, my sister should study hard." After speaking, Chen Jiaoer lowered her head and didn't let her see the color.
Chen Jiaoer is very sensitive to the hidden things in this open and secret fight. She moved out of this matter to warn Chen Jiao'er about the things in the house, and the palace also hid her eyes, and she had to understand the rules that she should understand. As a side concubine, as long as there is still her as a concubine on top one day, you need to keep your duty and don't be strong. Chen Jiaoer naturally understood.
"Has my sister seen the other concubine rooms in the house?" she asked casually.
The fourth prince had already accepted a three-room concubine before, and I heard that they were all promoted by the maids in the house. Two of them came out of the palace. There is also a senior member of the court who was sent into the palace on the day the four princes left the palace and entered the palace, and entered the house of the four princes to serve that night. After a few days, the four princes promoted the two palace maids one day, and only on the second day did they mention the maids sent by the big man as concubines. is also a concubine, and the order of promotion determines the ranking of their sisters and sisters. Earlier, the big and small things in the palace were all taken care of by those two palaces. Thinking that the fourth prince did not only accept his beauty gift as the lord wanted, but also let the two maids he trusted more be bigger and suppressed, and did not let her lose all the benefits.
Originally, the three-room concubine room was supposed to come to greet her concubine with tea early this morning, but since it was the first day, according to the rules, she had to enter the palace first to greet the saint and the queen with tea. The three of them will have to wait until the next day to greet her. According to the order, the three of them will also offer tea to Chen Jiao'er, the side concubine. Since she asked, she just thought that Chen Jiaoer was already in a hurry to take the lead today.
Chen Jiaoer really replied: "Sister Hui, I've seen one." ”
"Oh, but the one in the West Chamber?" Chen Jiao'er replied in her expectation. She and Chen Jiaoer's courtyard is in the middle, not far from the bedroom of the four princes, one on the left and one on the right. It is considered an honor for a concubine to have a separate courtyard, but it must be on the side. The two people from the palace in the east chamber who live together understand the rules, so naturally they will not cross her, the main concubine, who met the side concubine first, even if Chen Jiaoer finds a summoning from the beginning, she can also ask for illness and see you again at a later date. The one in the west chamber was not cautious enough, Xu knew that the fourth prince had entered Chen Jiao'er's room yesterday, and he was also anxious to please this side concubine who seemed to be in the limelight.
Chen Jiaoer replied, "Yes." As soon as she raised her hand, Chen Jiaoer had an extra white jade bracelet on her wrist, as if she intended to let her see it. Although it is not as good as the one given to her by the queen, the identity of the person who gave it is extremely noble, but this one is also excellent at first glance. Did the four princes send it? Or did you send it to the one who had a heart in the West Chamber?
At this time, Liu Er and Ping'er came back with a tray, and the topic came to an end for the time being. The two maids put the dishes, chopsticks and plates on the table one by one, and when the lid was lifted, she looked, good guy! It turned out that this was the purpose of Chen Jiao'er waiting for her to have breakfast together.
It's just a breakfast, and there are a lot of porridge and side dishes, which seem ordinary, but it's not simple to look at the ingredients inside.
First of all, this white porridge, in fact, there are yams, wolfberries, He Shou Wu, the soup is white and thick, concave a spoonful close to the tip of the nose to smell, do not need to put it in the mouth to taste and already know that this soup is boiled with some kind of fish. I think it's sea bass, right?
Looking at a certain side dish, she really hadn't tasted it before. It is made with dried scallops and chestnuts, which are smoked and then steamed and then cooled to become a side dish. The scallops look a little scorched, but the actual mouth is not too hard. The chestnuts are soft, and the essence of the scallops is soaked in it, and the soup is very sweet. It is delicious to use only one or two bites, but the taste is from these two ingredients, and the porridge is a little light.
There is no need to go into detail about other side dishes, but it is worth noting that there is no most unusual cold salad raw radish and raw cucumber, and there is less oil and salt, not to mention other spices, but it is really light. And just this porridge and one dish, there are six kinds of yam, dried scallops, sea bass, chestnuts, wolfberries, and He Shou Wu. Coincidentally, she had read a book about meals in the room before, but she clearly remembered that these six things were all about nourishing the liver and kidneys, which can be described as the secret recipe for health care and kidney tonic in ancient times. According to her usual taste, she likes sweet and sour cold salad raw cucumber, which is also mentioned in the book, to protect kidney qi, raw cucumber is taboo to eat, and the same is true for salt and certain spices.
This early in the morning, the back kitchen is so dedicated, I think the fourth prince specially ordered the back kitchen to make it for Chen Jiao'er, right?
These dishes are not much, enough for two people. Think about it, the fourth prince entered the palace with her early in the morning, and he hadn't had breakfast at this time. As soon as I returned home, I disappeared, and I didn't rush to Chen Jiao'er's room to share breakfast? Who would have thought that Chen Jiao'er didn't wait for the fourth prince, but ran to her to wait. I don't know if the fourth prince didn't see anyone in Chen Jiaoer's house, what was his expression at this time?
Seeing that her expression was a little strange, Chen Jiao'er smiled proudly and said: "These are all specially ordered by the master to be made in the back kitchen before leaving the house this morning, saying that it is to nourish qi and nourish the kidneys, and I miss my sister's dedication to serving yesterday, and it is excellent to replenish my body in time." Thinking that my sister slept late yesterday, it was inevitable that she would hurt her qi and blood, so she thought about sharing it with her sister. ”
People say it's so straightforward, where does she still have a reason that she doesn't understand. She pretended to be half confused, and only responded with a smile: "My sister has a heart." It is indeed good to nourish the kidneys after staying up late and drinking. Saying that, thinking of the fourth prince with heavy dark circles under his eyes, but he couldn't eat this kidney-tonifying meal that he arranged for himself and Chen Jiao'er, she ate more deliciously, and she was not polite at all.
Chen Jiao'er didn't look angry at her, but she lost her appetite, she may have prepared some sarcastic or showy words in advance, but she couldn't say it at this time, and she lowered her head to eat even more tastelessly, and ate without a bite. During this period, Chen Jiaoer also yawned a few times, lost her fighting spirit, and her fatigue appeared. It's really thanks to Chen Jiao'er for working so hard last night, and she can still drag this tired body to find her unhappy after moving the house early in the morning. I just saw that Chen Jiaoer was walking unsteadily, so I pretended to be close to her, but in fact, I borrowed her strength in turn. If it were her, she would have no appetite for breakfast for a while, so it would be better to make up for a good night's sleep first, and then wait for the fourth prince to come back and have breakfast together to be more refreshed. Isn't it better to be better to be able to get the good of the four princes? This is really tiring, and the brain is stupid, right?
