Chapter 3: Breakfast
Wang Shizheng and Hui Zhi talked about the porridge sent by Mrs. Bo Shizi the day before yesterday, "It seems that the porridge in Pingsuri does not taste very different, I heard that it is an ancient recipe brought back by Xiaozhi from this trip, and the taste is very soft and delicious." ”
"The eldest brother likes calligraphy and painting, the second brother likes gold and stone, and most of the sons of the family in the capital like to dance and write ink, but Cousin Huan always prefers more food. ”
Sui Feng slowly walked forward and saluted, and after receiving such a sentence, he greeted the sisters.
Ouyang Huan, the son of sincerity, is the nephew of Mrs. Wang, and the man who is very willing to marry the women of the boudoir in Beijing. Xiaozhi is not only tall and jade, handsome, but also a young talent, at the age of fifteen, he was selected for Xiucai, the sincerity of the Bofu is even more strict, and the wife of the prince is even more kind and kind.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, I didn't expect the sixth sister to be in good health, but I, who is a sister, fell ill, and I didn't get better after taking medicine for several days, so I didn't go to visit the sixth sister, and my sister shouldn't blame my sister. ”
At the beginning of the year, he wrapped himself tightly, a dark blue jacket sprinkled with gold flowers, a red pearl buckle armor, a crow-blue trimmed Hunan skirt, a small hand stove with gilt amber in his hand, wearing red lambskin boots on his feet, and a red fox fur cloak when he did not enter the door, dressed brightly, but her face was still white, her steps were a little unsteady, she was always thinner, making people look as if she was about to fall down if she couldn't stand the wind.
"It's also my fault," Hui Zhi replied with a smile, "It's that I have a headache for two more days, and I heard that the fourth sister was cold and wanted to rush over to take a look, but Mrs. Jiang persuaded me to take care of myself first, and the province gave the fourth sister a sick breath." ”
Sui Fan was a little angry when he heard this, and was about to say something to refute the past, when he heard a clear and bright voice report, "Breakfast has been prepared, and the concubine will serve the lady and the girls to eat." As soon as I looked up, I saw Aunt Lin, who was in good shape, Aunt Liu, who was kind and quiet next to her, and Jasper, who was dressed as a maid next to me, and was young and beautiful.
Mrs. Wang raised her hand, and Aunt Lin was just about to step forward to help, but Linglong beside her helped her over, and Mrs. Wang frowned, "Aunt Lin is also half a master, and such a well-mannered little girl can't fight, why are you so anxious?"
Mrs. Wang is well-cultivated, and rarely reprimands her like this, Aunt Lin was choked with courtesy, her face suddenly turned red and white, and she reached out to help the golden hairpin on the sideburns, as if the hairpin rewarded by the Hou Ye could make her more confident, and she lowered her head and followed in to serve.
The years of eating a meal were very angry - she was bent on getting well and wearing thick and thick clothes early to greet her mother-in-law, but she forgot that today was the tenth day of the new year, and her aunts came to say goodbye.
Mrs. Wang in the long room is not like Mrs. Zhou in the second room, who likes to set rules for her aunts to serve her, and she always recites the Buddha on the fifteenth day of the new year, so she set the rule of greeting every ten days, and she does not see it a few times a month, and it does not annoy people.
The aunt has always treated her very well, but when she eats like this, the aunt stands by and waits like a maid, and from time to time she also gives her vegetables and porridge, and her petty flattering appearance makes her heart always unbearable.
The food is silent, the sleep is silent, and Hui Zhi is eating with relish. She took medicine for a few days, and Senior Sister Jiang helped her smooth the meridians every day, although people felt refreshed, but Senior Sister didn't allow her to eat too much, she could be regarded as hungry for several days. After eating porridge and vegetarian dishes for a few days, it looks like I am more energetic, but my stomach is very unsatisfactory. The breakfast prepared by my mother was very appetizing, thin-skinned three fresh buns, shrimp dumplings, delicious preserved egg porridge, soft and sweet red date porridge, and more venison and roe deer meat hunted by my father and brother a few days ago, a few fresh vegetables cultivated in the greenhouse, and all kinds of pickles that were pickled for a long time until the end of the New Year's Festival -- there were all kinds of colors, and it was easy to let go of her belly to eat today.
After breakfast, Wang's look a little sad, and told Aunt Lin to go back without waiting, and said to the year: "There is no practice of draft girls entering the palace in our house, but because of your words, the whole capital praises the jokes of our Hou Mansion, and the one-month grounding is not heavy, today is when you are sick and come to ask for peace, I won't blame you, the wind and cold are not easy to raise, you are young, or go back to raise the province in the future to fall into the root of the cold, don't go out recently." ”
In Fushoutang, Mrs. Sun was talking to her eldest son, Cheng'an Hou Qin Weien, "The idea is about her aunt's idea, where does the fourth girl have this scheming? Good girl, I said that I want to be raised by my mother's side, you don't listen, I hurt her a little bit, let her raise the child by herself, forget it in the past, but now that this is an accident, you have to apologize to the second child, and it is plain that his baby girl is involved in the palace to choose a concubine, and Suihua is obviously a sensible girl." ”
Qin Weien listened to his mother's words quietly, thinking that the Lin family was also very cautious in his actions, how could he have such a big courage to instigate Sui Fan to do such a thing, and he had to ask someone to check it.
"That Lin family, what are you going to do?" Old Madam Sun saw that he didn't speak, her expression was unknown, and she secretly said I'm afraid that her son likes this aunt very much, right?
"Punish her for three months, and be grounded for three months," Qin Weien said in a light tone, "She is not allowed to see Sui Rong again in these months." ”
Old Madam Sun was very relieved when she heard this, and asked again: "Huai'en, what do you want to do?"
"I just want to fill a gap in the Hanlin Academy, I will do one or two activities for him, and I will arrange for a few people who know kung fu pharmacology to enter the palace with Suihua, but there is one thing that I still have to worry about my mother. ”
Qin Weien said to her mother with a smile.
"What's the matter?"
"After Suihua entered the palace, he had to bother his mother to ask the Queen Mother to arrange a few capable palace people to take care of her. ”
When Mrs. Sun heard this, she smiled and said, "I don't need you to say these things, I will arrange them properly." ”
In the Yuhua Pavilion, Hui Zhi, who had just returned from her mother, was shaking Jiang Caiqiong's hand, begging her to show the third sister so that she could be invulnerable, Jiang Caiqiong refused with a smile: "This medicine is a secret medicine personally prepared by the weak water girl next to the master, if it is leaked by me, I am afraid it is not appropriate, but"
It is not a joke that all poisons are not invasive, almost all of the medicinal materials that the master asked her to use are worth thousands of gold, which is very difficult to find, and there are a few even treasures that only Senior Brother Pei has privately hidden.
She has neither the power nor the ability to take care of another person's body.
Jiang Caiqiong lowered her eyes and thought about it, she was wearing a plain blue gown with dark patterns and a pleated skirt with white orchid, which was very plain. Hui Zhi looked at her steadily, and finally couldn't help but interrupt her speech.
"I can give a book of recipes compiled by the Jiang family to the third young lady, and there are some emergency pills, not the secret medicine of the Silent Valley, they are all okay. ”
Hui Zhi was almost happy to jump when she heard this. She said to Jiang Caiqiong very excitedly: "Senior sister, I knew that you would definitely help me! I will go to see the third sister tomorrow and tell her the good news! The third sister has the ability to never forget, you give her the recipe and let her see it for a few days, and she will be able to remember the score exactly - when the time comes, whether the recipe is returned or burned, it will be up to you!"
Jiang Caiqiong couldn't help laughing, looking at this little junior sister who was often mentioned by the master, with her hair hanging down at home, tied with a thin hairband, and the powder was not used, and her whole eyes were shining brightly when she was happy.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, she couldn't wait to tell the third sister the news, and then go to see if she was sad about entering the palace, so she hurriedly instructed Xifang to let her go to the third sister's yard to say hello, saying that she was going to visit the third sister and have lunch there, and specially advised, "Qiao Er in the third sister's house is very good at making mutton pots, it is very delicious, you just say that I miss it very much, please trouble the third sister to prepare, don't dislike me, I am going to bring a big gift." ”
