Hui Zhi sighed softly. The two girls of the Bai family, the eldest girl Bai Yingyun and the second girl Bai Yingxi, are very beautiful.

Everyone sighed and sighed, except for the two families of Dingnanhou and Baijia, the other prefectures and families in the capital should be preparing for the New Year, or continue to prepare busily.

In the suburbs of Laba and soup kitchen, the in-laws of each household send each other their own boiled Laba porridge.

The sincerity of Bofu to send Laba porridge to Cheng'an Hou Mansion was a mother surnamed Zhao next to Mrs. Shizi's Xiao Wang, and Hui Zhi was very familiar with her. When I was young, I didn't go to Chengyi Bofu to play, this Zhao's mother was a good hand at making porridge and dim sum, and she was a person who couldn't leave her aunt Xiao Wang's side for a while.

She rarely goes out to deliver Laba porridge in person, but this year, Xiao Wang's family asked her to come to Cheng'an Hou's Mansion to deliver Laba porridge, which is very obvious.

It's just that Xiao Wang's family hurriedly set the marriage of the eldest girl of the Su family for Ouyang Huan, or deeply hurt the heart of her sister Wang, so she just talked to Zhao's mother casually: "Can Xiaozhi's family affairs be set at a time?" ”

Mother Zhao was talking about how she selected the various rice grains she sent, how she pitted the red dates, how to soak all kinds of beans in the hours, in short, when she was talking about how the bowl of laba porridge she sent was well prepared, tasted good, and beautiful...... was said by Wang's words, and his voice was stalked, and he took it bluntly: "It's decided... Wedding date in March next year. ”

Wang smiled faintly and patted the slender hand of Hui Zhi who was sitting next to her, "In this way, it seems that our Hui Zhi came out of the pavilion first." Saying that, he looked at Hui Zhi dotingly and said, "Your aunt has always treated you the most kindly, and when the time comes, I will let her find a treasure to add makeup to you." ”

Hui Zhi responded sweetly, looked at Zhao's mother with a smile, Zhao's mother wiped the cold sweat on her head, and said yes, thinking that she thought it was an errand that could get a lot of benefits, but it made her a lot of shameless, and her old face was not good. With a red face, he hurriedly went to meet Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zhou in the second room, and rushed back to the Sincerity Mansion.

The rewards from the palace were also sent to the capital's prefectures early.

As for the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, the Empress Dowager, who had not appreciated Laba porridge for a long time, sent Laba porridge to the Cheng'an Hou Mansion by name. Everyone has more and more reverence for this future Mrs. Wuwei Hou Shizi.

And the eldest girl of the Shen family, who has a similar status or even a more noble status, heard that the Empress Dowager rewarded the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, and waited left and right at home. I can't wait for a reward other than the routine rewards in the palace.

The Empress Dowager is old, and she can't remember her as a little girl, so why doesn't my aunt appreciate Laba porridge like usual?

As early as the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the emperor waved her hand, and then she moved back to her own palace, and Concubine Hua, who was promoted, has been taken care of by Concubine Zhou since she came back from Jiangnan.

Hui Zhi naturally didn't know that Shen Rui, who waited for a day at her own house for a reward but didn't wait for anything, hated her in her heart. After Laba. The flavor of the New Year is like a day, many things in the Cheng'an Hou Mansion, Wang handed over to the new daughter-in-law Xia Xu, Hui Zhi unloaded some burdens, and only pondered with Aman in the yard every day how to make things more delicious.

On the night of the New Year, Hui Zhi was tinkering with food in the small tea room in the Yuhua Pavilion. The windows in the tea room are inlaid with glazed glass, which is very close to the outside, and you can see the small courtyard in the Yuhua Pavilion clearly when you look up.

Zhuangzi sent melons, fruits and vegetables grown in the greenhouse in winter, as well as fresh venison and roe deer meat from the mountain villa in the north, and several young girls in the Yuhua Pavilion chattered together in the small pavilion in the garden the next day. Put up a curtain, set up a small stove, and eat roast venison while enjoying the snow. "Call my sister-in-law over to play together, my brother in the province sees my sister-in-law so busy every day, and my heart is distressed." As soon as Hui Zhi finished speaking, the maids in the room burst into laughter.

The courtyard was lively, and Jiang Caiqiong, who had been out for a day during the day, hurried back to the Yuhua Pavilion. Hui Zhi looked up and saw that she was dressed up very festively today. Outside, she was draped in a red cloak embroidered with dark green pines and cypresses, and her hood was covered with white hair, reflecting her porcelain whiteness, becoming more and more crystal clear. Hui Zhi was about to get up to greet her, Jiang Caiqiong waved her hand, "Sit down, don't panic, lest the wind blow again, and the wind and cold will repeat." ”

Hui Zhi beckoned to her through the window, "Come in and roast the fire to warm up, we are going to set up a stove in the garden to roast venison to eat!" ”

Jiang Caiqiong smiled: "What's interesting in only taking venison?" The Hulu outside the gate will roast fresh yellow mutton with fire to eat, with the spices outside the plug, the taste is fresh and unique, and it is ** and elastic; You can also roast chestnuts on the stove to eat, and when the charcoal fire is almost extinguished, you will find sweet potatoes and bury them in the charcoal fire, cover them overnight, get up and take them out the next morning, and eat them hot with the steamed buns for breakfast, which has a unique flavor. ”

Hui Zhi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she really wanted to pull her to speak again, but she saw Jiang Caiqiong approaching and said, "I heard some news from the palace outside." ”

Hui Zhi blinked and said, "Come on, let's go into the house and talk carefully, how to roast this meat to be delicious." He turned his head and instructed Aman, "Bring a pot of hot tea." ”

Jiang Caiqiong entered the house, took off her coat and put it on the shelf, and said in a low voice: "At the New Year's banquet, the emperor praised His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Why did the emperor praise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Hui Zhi asked suspiciously.

"There is a new Liu Jieyu in the palace, do you know?" Jiang Caiqiong asked, seeing that Hui Zhi nodded, and continued to say carefully, "Since returning from Jiangnan, Hua Concubine has been at ease in Zhou Shufei's palace to raise a baby, Sun Jieyu was only favored all the way in Jiangnan, and after returning to the capital, she will no longer be the same as before, this Liu Jieyu is outstanding, and her momentum is incomparable, even Li Concubine and Jin Jieyu, who was quite favored before, can't compare to her." At the New Year's banquet, Liu Jieyu said a few words, Shen Guifei grabbed a few accusations, seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, the prince hurriedly said to help, and the queen also said a few words about the scene, which eased up. ”

Hui Zhi was stunned, "It's not a big deal...... The emperor praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for such a trivial matter? ”

Jiang Caiqiong continued, "That is to say, this is not a big deal, but it is just an intrigue between the harem concubines, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is involved in it, which is not very good, but the emperor praised him for it." ”

Hui Zhi sneered, "I'm afraid that the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the crown prince, and the affairs of the Jiangnan Navy Master have nothing to do with the prince, and Lord Liang Gongyi's unjust case has not yet been revealed, so the emperor means ......"

Jiang Caiqiong nodded, "My brother and I think the same way. ”

deliberately praised the prince, the fox fluttered, and the tail was naturally exposed. (To be continued.) )
