Chapter 216 The Rites
On August 13, Zhen Wanyi took cherries to soak the selected glutinous rice in the well water, and was busy looking at the chopped lean meat and the various fillings prepared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Red Sleeves put her hands on the side, her hands were stained with meat foam, and she was seasoning the meat filling, "Cherry, how many zongzi does the princess plan to wrap this year?"
Cherry tilted her head and thought about it, "Why should it be more than last year, the master likes the meat filling, the wife likes the red bean paste filling, the sixth master likes the bacon filling, the eighth master likes the candied fruit filling, the sixth grandmother likes the eight treasure zongzi, and the Yufu, the third master, the eldest aunt, the third aunt, the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt, this is a lot of each family, I am afraid that these are not enough." ”
Red sleeves paused, "How many aunts and grandmothers have sent zongzi?"
Cherry nodded, "Except for the eldest aunt's family, everyone else has sent it." ”
Red Sleeves glanced at Zhen Wanyi, and saw that Zhen Wanyi was only concerned about checking the stuffing on the board, and didn't notice them, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't my aunt's house send it?"
Cherry paused, "Maybe not yet." ”
Red Sleeves frowned, "Did the princess say that she was going to send it to her aunt's house?"
Cherry nodded, "The princess counted her aunt's share." Anyway, it's just a good luck, and it's not a big deal, and it doesn't matter who comes first. ”
Red Sleeves was so angry that he poked Cherry's head, "I said why are you so stupid, why is this not a big deal, we are now in the Rongwang Mansion, how can a small ceremonial waiter of the aunt's mother-in-law not give us gifts first, but also want us to give them first, why is this?"
Cherry covered her head and said pitifully: "But I can't always send it to my aunt's house, just my aunt's house." ”
"What's this, whoever sent it will return it, as for the one who didn't send it, how can you think that it is so busy in our house. ”
"But......" Cherry was about to say something, but was frightened by the stares of the red sleeves, and didn't dare to say more, only rubbed the poked place, sat down honestly, and began to make zongzi.
After boiling overnight, I changed the water three times, and when the zongzi came out of the pot, the fragrance of the glutinous rice with zongzi leaves spread far away, Zhen Wanyi rarely got up at the same time as Qi Rong, Qi Rong looked at Zhen Wanyi, who didn't want to open her eyes, hugged her soft and boneless body, and let Zhen Wanyi lean on herself, "Why don't you sleep for a while?"
Zhen Wanyi let herself be coquettish on Qi Rong, "Well, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many things to do today, so we have to arrange it early." ”
Qi Rong picked up the clothes on the small table and helped Zhen Wanyi put them on, "Just let Mother Qian arrange it, why do you have to be so tired?"
Zhen Wanyi shook her head and drove the sleepy insect away, "How can you push everything to Mother Qian, Mother Qian is already busy enough." Rubbing his sore waist, "If the prince is a little more restrained, I don't have to work so hard." ”
Qi Rong's low laughter came, "Then the lady should cultivate another person, your biggest task is to serve the king well, and others can do everything else." ”
Zhen Wanyi's unsober head replied uncontrollably, "Actually, others can also do it for the prince." ”
As soon as the words came out, I felt a chill in the cool morning, and the drowsiness was swept away, looking at the corners of Qi Rong's pursed mouth, Zhen Wanyi was excited, "Well, it's better for me, the princess, to serve the princess herself." ”
Qi Rong leaned down and leaned into Zhen Wanyi's ear, "So the princess likes to serve the king herself?"
Zhen Wanyi felt the warmth of her earlobe, the familiar hot feeling came, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in her earlobe, Zhen Wanyi called out "ah", pouted, but didn't dare to pull the earlobe out of Qi Rong's mouth, during this time she could see Qi Rong's insidiousness, she could do whatever she wanted on weekdays, but she had to be obedient in bed, otherwise what was waiting for her was endless tossing in the long night. How could this immature body be worthy of him fighting night and night, so Zhen Wanyi's usual method of treating Qi Rong was to be coquettish, "Lord Wang, it hurts." ”
Qi Rong's eyes darkened, "Ask this king." ”
Zhen Wanyi's body was weak, this was a conversation they often had in bed, Zhen Wanyi sighed helplessly, "Ask the prince." ”
The corner of Qi Rong's right mouth hooked a graceful arc, and kissed Zhen Wanyi on the forehead, "This king will receive a reward tonight." ”
Zhen Wanyi pouted, nodded indifferently, anyway, don't worry about having more debts, in the past month or so, except for the monthly letter period, which night has you not paid your debts?
Qi Rong saw Zhen Wanyi's expression in his eyes, and rubbed her hair with a wry smile, this girl is getting more and more bold, and she is almost out of his eyes. "Tomorrow there is a dinner party in the palace, I bought you a new set of jewelry and put it on the mirror table, if you don't like to let people go to the moon to fast and change. ”
Zhen Wanyi smiled crookedly, "I have so many jewelry, and the prince still buys it, it's a waste of silver." ”
Qi Rong said with a smile: "The husband is responsible for making money, and the lady is responsible for spending money, which is justified, and this is also a reward for the hard work of the lady." ”
Zhen Wanyi stretched out her little fist and knocked it on Qi Rong's chest, and snorted, "Then the concubine is disrespectful." ”
After sending Qi Rong out of the house, Zhen Wanyi asked Cherry: "Have you sent people to send the boiled zongzi to the mansions?"
Cherry glanced at the red sleeves standing indoors, "It's all gone, but there are no ones from my aunt and grandmother." ”
Zhen Wanyi frowned, "Didn't you send it to Yuan Niang?"
Cherry didn't dare to look up, so she had to whisper "yes".
Zhen Wanyi's voice cooled, "Isn't there a single zongzi in the house?"
Cherry was so frightened that she fell to her knees directly, "No, Princess, there are still in the mansion, but the distribution we have done is finished." ”
"You still dare to lie to me, we have done so much, can't we even out the amount of a mansion?"
Cherry had never seen Zhen Wanyi lose such a big temper, and she trembled with fright, "Princess, it's all the slave's fault, it's the slave's maid's incompetence, please punish the princess." ”
Zhen Wanyi was angry, she knew that Zhen Peiyi had a bad temperament, she didn't like it very much, and the people around her didn't like it either, but anyway, Zhen Peiyi did sacrifice herself for Zhen Fu, if it weren't for her, no one knew what would happen to Zhen Fu in the end, the fourth wife was pregnant with twins at that time, and she was afraid that she would be the first to have something if she didn't wait for others to have something, which is why the fourth wife was repeatedly tolerant of Zhen Peiyi. Therefore, although Zhen Peiyi has a bad attitude, she doesn't like Zhen Peiyi's temperament very much, but she never treats Zhen Peiyi separately on the surface, and she doesn't tolerate the people around her who look down on Zhen Peiyi.
Red Sleeves saw it on the side, bit his lip, walked to the cherry and knelt down together, "Princess, this is all the slave's idea, it has nothing to do with the cherry, if you want to punish the slave and the maid." ”
Zhen Wanyi glanced at the red sleeves, and she secretly wondered how Cherry could make this play? Although Cherry was impulsive and fun, she didn't have any heart, and she couldn't do such a thing of watching the food and cooking.
"Cherry will punish you for three months, demerit once, and then next time, demote. Red Sleeves was demoted to a second-class maid and waited outside. ”
Redsleeves looked up in disbelief, "Princess?"
Zhen Wanyi looked at Red Sleeves with a straight face, "Red Sleeves, what is the most important thing to be a subordinate? After you go down, think about it, if you ignore my orders and serve the yang and the yin, I think, that kind of slave and concubine can't afford it, and I don't dare to ask for it." ”
The red sleeves sat on the ground, she just didn't want others to underestimate the master, but she forgot that she was really underestimating the master by making decisions like this. "Yes, slave and maid obey.
