Chapter Thirty-Seven: I Don't Know If I'm a Guest
When Mama Gui walked to the back and couldn't see it, Mu Lian said lightly to Kapok: "It's finally enlightened, it's not too late, your sister and I have been in the house for a long time to see some things clearly." ”
Kapok smiled lightly and learned what Mama Gui told her to her sister in the same way.
Mu Lian only said: "In the end, it is from the palace internal affairs office, and her eyes are more poisonous than others, this new side concubine only entered the mansion yesterday, so she can see it." "Kapok doesn't understand this.
At this moment, Mulian opened the wrapper and took out a set of aqua blue skirts and a blue gauze covered plain embroidered brocade gown.
He said, "Didn't the former master give you a reward? This is a set of clothes that I asked the embroidery room to make for you, but it's a good thing." Wear it when you go home in a few days, so that the neighbors can see it. ”
Kapok's face flushed: "Sister, I suddenly don't want to get married, I want to accompany you in the palace." ”
Mu Lian's nose was sour: "Silly girl, who said that you can't accompany me in the house if you get married."
Now that Master Gu's body is not as good as before, how can I serve it alone. ”
Large kitchen.
Feng Dagui got up in the middle of the night last night, and looked forward to the side concubine's meal this morning.
After a short rest, I devoured breakfast and began to prepare lunch again.
A lot of ingredients were prepared yesterday, and all kinds of steaming bowls are now steaming under the eyes of the little apprentice.
At this time, it was the middle of June, and there was not a drop of rain after the summer, and these big names and small bowls of meat had no appetite just by looking at them, and even the little eunuch who passed the meal only sighed twice at these dishes.
Qian Xiaosi was still taking care of Ying Xintang's meals, and when he saw that the little junior brother was looking at the steamer tightly, the heat inside was bubbling out, and the morning dew on the flowers and leaves outside had not yet dried, so he was sweating twice, and asked him to sit on the stone bench outside, and he watched here.
The little apprentice is very clever, and this is what Feng Dagui's eyes are, he knows that he is a senior brother, the first person in the kitchen apprenticeship, and he does not dare to bother him, let alone let him interfere in the diet of the side concubine.
hurriedly invited Qian Xiaosi out.
Qian Xiaosi was polite and polite, and then this little junior brother had already threatened his status in the master's mind, so he wanted to show a few hands, he was not a person all the way, just don't get in the way, who knows that he doesn't appreciate it.
He was also lazy to do Tai Chi and left with a small teapot.
This day is much more comfortable than Master Feng Dagui.
Not long after, Chunmei came to the dining room to get refreshments.
Qian Xiaosi stepped forward, put the ice bowl into the food box with ice, and said with a smile: "The side concubine is so well-behaved, eating steamed bowls on dog days these three dog days, it is really from the capital, but it is different." ”
There is a disdain in and out of the words.
Chunmei glanced at him, and he dared to spread wild in this acre and three points of land, and when he walked out of this courtyard gate, he also had to pick up his tail and be a man.
He was familiar with the people in their Ying Xintang, and he didn't have a frame to speak.
Chunmei looked at the dim sum one by one and handed it to Wan Qinghong.
Only then did he poke his forehead with his shallot-like fingertips: "It's not a positive shape, the side concubine is what you and I can say." ”
Yun Qingyun went outside to wait outside with her things, and she said again: "Ronghua can say, the master doesn't want to be unhappy with the side concubine, you should also rest your thoughts about patting the horse's ass, and beware of patting the horse's leg." ”
Qian Xiaosi thought for a while: "It's been quiet in this courtyard recently, could it be that this side concubine Niangniang really has a background?"
Since Gu Xie Wu knew about the concubine's entry into the mansion, she stayed in her courtyard more and more and refused to go out.
In fact, it's just because of the Gu family's affairs, not because of the side concubine, but the people below don't know, so there are so many speculations.
Chunmei doesn't talk to him officially, how can this Qian Xiaosi be counted as Ying Xintang's person, what he loses is Ying Xintang's face, without him, Qian Xiaosi still has thousands of Qian Xiaosi, but people can't step on Ying Xintang to cross the bridge.
Listening to Ronghua's meaning, it seems that the master is now thinking about things over there, and the mansion is fine. ”
Qian Xiaosi is not clear about this level of things, and even the maids who are serving beside the master are not clear, how can he know, and said yes respectfully, and put away his careful thoughts.
It's just a pity that I want to tune (crab) to teach the little junior brother's mind to let it go.
Drink the tea in the teapot and sell it in front of the master.
The dishes on the side concubine's dining table are all big dishes, Qian Xiaosi is proficient in snacks, and he doesn't know much about this kind of palace cuisine, so he is so desperate to hold Ying Xintang tightly.
Feng Dagui has just tried the depth of the water in the Spring Garden of the Concubine Wangchun in the past few days, but he didn't plan to pick it up all at once.
Seeing Qian Xiaosi coming over, he asked him to sift noodles and cut vegetables, and he did all the work of the three cooks.
This is the experience of life that has been practiced over the years, and the dim sum of Wangchun Garden and Yingxintang is a strange smell.
Qian Xiaosi also has great potential, he is confused and understands in his heart that he will never make it difficult for Feng Dagui, so he is becoming more and more prosperous.
On the other hand, his newly recruited little apprentices are more skilled than Qian Xiaosi, smarter and more sensible than him, and better than him to guess the master's taste.
But being a person is the same as cooking, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar have to be just right, no matter which one is light and heavy, it is not good. The kitchen is busy.
The backyard is pretty much the same.
The old people, led by Xu Chaoyun, gathered on the verandah to Wangchun Garden.
Those who are half-new and not old, Xue Muru, Li Xun, Jiang Han, Fan Shuangyi, Ren Yiyi, Cai Ji and others are also standing in their own small social circles.
Xu Chaoyun stood on the porch and didn't leave, and they didn't dare to go past her to ask for peace to the side concubine first.
Originally, this side concubine was not a serious backyard master, but in the end, her status was more noble, different from them.
So they discussed it early in the morning, thought of a compromise, and waited until midmorning to go.
Now standing here and wandering, he is waiting for Gu Xie Wu. A group of widows waiting for a concubine, this picture is also beautiful enough.
However, none of them dared to show a look of unwillingness and resentment. Gu Xie Wu can also be regarded as a full-dressed attendee today.
A royal blue embroidered peony woven gold brocade placket palace dress, combed with a flying phoenix bun, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, a pair of golden hairpins and tourmaline hosta flower hairpins are extremely gorgeous, and the fifteen-year-old face has a twenty-five temperament.
Neutralize it, it looks like a twenty-year-old, very domineering feeling.
This dress was originally made by Sister Yun'er and the lady in the embroidery room, in order to take it out at the festival banquet to support her face.
Her consistent temperament is that she doesn't like to compete with each other, but sometimes she inevitably needs some scene effort, which can't be taken lightly.
Today's side concubine is in the right position, she must be wearing red, and her blue clothes at this time are the most appropriate.
It's just that some people can't help but speculate that she is going to fight with the side concubine. In fact, she has already made up her mind to expose her life experience, which is to plan for the future.
