When Zhen Wanyi followed Mother Qian back to Qingyi Water Pavilion, carbon basins were lit all around the wide hall, which made the hall warm and warm, with a fragrance of pine wood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone was already sitting in their seats, and the two beautiful ladies were singing and telling stories with pipa accompaniment, saying that it was the crow that sued, this story Zhen Wanyi had heard, and it was about a story about a woman suing the county and finally winning after hardships. The two girls sang and spoke well, and everyone in the hall watched it with relish.

Zhen Wanyi's eyes were stunned somewhere, no wonder she was wearing a heavy cloak all the time, it turned out that there was something hidden inside, a pink cardigan skirt, the red plum embroidery on the lake-green belly pocket was looming, wearing a spring dress on a cold day, such a light and thin dress didn't know who wanted to go cheaper, but I haven't seen the owner for so long, will I be a little anxious at this time?

The fourth wife saw Zhen Wanyi and hurriedly raised her hand to greet her. Zhen Wanyi smiled and sat in the empty seat next to the fourth wife, there were four-color dim sum on the table, there happened to be water chestnut cake, soybean pea, hibiscus cake that Zhen Wanyi loved to eat, and it looked like hawthorn cake, which made Zhen Wanyi a little surprised, she hadn't seen it in Qinghe City for so long.

Zhen Wanyi thought about it and first took a piece to taste, the sweet and sour made the taste buds of the whole mouth wake up, Zhen Wanyi squinted her eyes in enjoyment, it was really delicious, the sweetness and sour were moderate, but it was not hawthorn cake.

Mama Mu watched it from the side, poured a bowl of tea and handed it over, "Miss Jiu, this is the ginkgo tea given by the palace, you can taste it and see if you like it." This concubine red is a commonly used dim sum in the palace, made by a cook sent by the inner servant's house, if Miss Nine likes it, the slave maid will let Mother Qian leave the person. ”

Zhen Wanyi took a sip of ginkgo tea, the taste was very light, just suitable for her to rinse her mouth and drink it after having just eaten a snack. "Let Mother Qian pick this matter herself, I don't care. ”

"In fact, you can pick anyone, but now there are few masters in the palace, if you really pick out the maids and internal supervisors according to the regulations, I am afraid that everyone has nothing to do. ”

Zhen Wanyi thought that according to the regulations, there could be a thousand slaves in the prince's mansion, and the scale was really a bit scary, "Then where do they live?"

"Except for the servants who waited in close proximity to the courtyards, the others lived in the first two alleys, which were reserved for the king's servants and the king's guards, and there were five hundred and sixty houses, of which there were a hundred two-entry houses, most of which were now vacant. ”

Zhen Wanyi smacked her tongue when she heard this, how big is this palace, she feels like a waste when she thinks about it, she is really a capitalist.

Mother Qian walked in again, "Miss Nine, can you have a banquet?"

Zhen Wanyi looked at the fourth wife, and after the fourth wife asked the third wife and several Yu family wives for their opinions, she nodded to Zhen Wanyi.

Zhen Wanyi smiled and said to Mother Qian: "It's troublesome Mother Qian." ”

Mother Qian smiled, "This is what a slave should do, Miss Nine doesn't have to be polite." With that, he bowed and went out.

Zhen Wanyi's eyes flashed, she could feel that Mother Qian seemed to have some opinions about her, and her smile was mostly perfunctory, and her smile never reached her eyes.

Mama Mu helped add tea on the side, "The prince specially invited the imperial chef from the palace to enter the mansion, Miss Nine has a good taste of the palace cuisine today, see if you are used to it, if you are not used to the slave maid, then find some southern cooks to enter the mansion." ”

Zhen Wanyi said softly: "Mama doesn't have to be so troublesome, the cherry cooking skills around me are quite good, and my mother specially invited the cook to teach her to cook in Qinghe City." ”

"Mrs. Fourth is really a lover of her daughter, and such a small thing is thought of by Miss Nine. ”

Zhen Wanyi smiled at the corner of her mouth and nodded, "Mother treats me very well." ”

Waiting for all kinds of plates to be put on the table, Mama Mu personally helped to pick up the dishes, "This is Yuxing, Miss Nine can taste it, this is made of raw fish, although there is no fishy smell, but the taste is still a little weird, I'm afraid I can't get used to it." ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at it, it was similar to sashimi, but with more seasonings, the color changed a little, and there would be some fishy smell when eating this sashimi without mustard. Zhen Wanyi picked up the fish fillets that Mama Mu put into the plate, tasted it, the ginger flavor was very strong, and the texture of the fish was quite tender, but it was a pity that it was fishy. As soon as I remembered, there was a vomiting sound from the tail seat opposite, and Li Siniang's voice came, "Uh, this, what's going on, this fish are all raw." ”

Zhen Peiyi put down her chopsticks and sneered, "Didn't the fourth sister insist on coming to the palace to see it? I wonder what will happen to my mother if she finds out?"

Li Siniang's face changed greatly, she glanced at Zhen Peiyi hatefully, gritted her teeth secretly, stood up, brushed her sleeves and half folded her face, and bent down in front of her, "Siniang lost her manners, I'm sorry for my wives and sisters, but Siniang really didn't mean it, please don't blame you." His voice choked up as he spoke.

The fourth wife glanced at Zhen Wanyi, put down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "This dish is originally to be eaten fresh, and Siniang is not used to eating it, so she will withdraw it." ”

Mama Mu stepped forward and saluted, saying, "It turned out that the slaves and maids were not well served, and they did not introduce them to the ladies and misses." This Yuxing is a palace dish, and all the fish used are seafish, which is only marinated in sauce, so it has a fishy smell. The ladies and ladies are not used to eating, they just don't need it. ”

The maids came in and removed the plate and served the second dish, looking at the plate that came up, Mama Mu frowned slightly, Suo Xing didn't go back to Zhen Wanyi's side, stood in the hall and explained: "This dish is also a cold dish, called Wusheng Plate, which is made of sheep, pigs, cows, bears, and deer five kinds of animal meat finely cut into shreds, and pickled into salt. ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at the cold dishes spelled into colors, if she didn't know that these were raw meat, she was afraid that she would be greedy, and now Mama Mu said that she couldn't get off the chopsticks, although she pretended to be a foodie, but after all, this thing was out of the normal diet, and she was respectful and sensitive. Seeing that everyone didn't move their chopsticks, Zhen Wanyi said: "Mama, the weather is getting colder and colder, let's eat some hot dishes." ”

Mu nodded, glanced outside, and beckoned someone to come over and whisper a few words.

The third dish finally saw some heat, and everyone was relieved when they saw it, and Mama Mu smiled and said: "This dish is called fairy belly, which is made of chicken nuggets mixed with milk, and it is the most supplemental thing for women." ”

Zhen Peiyi scooped a spoonful with a spoon, put it under her nose and sniffed it, "I heard that the palace uses human milk to make this dish, I don't know if it is used in King Rong's mansion?"

"Today's banquet in the palace is prepared by the inner chamberlain, and the chef is also the imperial chef in the palace, and the dishes made are naturally the same as those in the palace. ”

Zhen Wanyi just raised her hand and put it down again, this still doesn't let people eat, can the royal family of this big Zhou eat something normal? Who knows that everyone else eats it without changing their faces, and Zhen Wanyi swallows her saliva in fright, if this is made of milk or goat's milk, why use human milk?

Zhen Huiyi finished drinking the soup in front of her, raised her wine glass, and shook her salute at Zhen Wanyi, "Ninth sister, this glass of wine The third sister respects you first, if it weren't for your good sister, I wouldn't have seen such a wealth and prosperity sister." ”

Zhen Wanyi picked up her wine glass, "Third sister, I don't know how to drink, I can only order until I go." ”

Zhen Huiyi said with a smile: "Ninth sister, is this looking down on my sister? I just tasted this wine, it is sweet and almost no alcohol, and the ninth sister can drink it with confidence." ”

Zhen Wanyi was helpless, looking at the small wine clock, which was not much bigger than a thumb, so she smiled and raised her glass, "Then Third Sister Xie, my sister drank it." After speaking, he raised his head and drank it all, the entrance was fragrant, it was really sweet, similar to a drink, and when he put down the cup, the smile on his face deepened a little.

The corners of Zhen Peiyi's mouth hooked up with a smile, and she also held her glass, "Ninth sister, even if you drink the third sister's wine, shouldn't the eldest sister's glass of wine also be drunk, and respect the ninth sister's wealth and wealth." ”

Zhen Wanyi raised her glass, "Although what the eldest sister said is wrong, but you are the eldest sister, I naturally want to drink this wine." He swallowed it in one gulp.

Zhen Peiyi also raised her head, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, turned the cup in her hand and raised her eyebrows at Zhen Wanyi, "Why is my words wrong, it's just that she hides it in her heart, I just put it on my mouth, if it weren't for you, how could someone like us enter the prince's mansion, become a guest of the curtain, and be treated as a guest, this kind of treatment can be enjoyed by a few people in the entire capital." Didn't you see that the county lords of Angong Country all returned in vain and returned with a feather? This is finally here, and I have to thank you for being a great benefactor. ”

Zhen Wanyi always has nothing to say to Zhen Peiyi, or always feels that she is worthy of speech, her words seem to be unreasonable but they are said in a straightforward manner, which makes people unable to grasp the pain in their feet, and they are really helpless.

Mama Mu smiled, "Grandma Auntie is a kind word, my prince has a very close relationship with the Zhen family, and it is naturally very welcome for Grandma to come." ”

Zhen Peiyi glanced at Mama Mu, and said with a smile: "Lord Rong really loves the ninth sister, before he entered the mansion, Mama was sent to serve by his side, I don't know if it is to prevent us or to prevent people in the future? I don't know if the next time I enter the mansion, my sister will still be able to enjoy the entire palace like this? Or next time we are sisters who are not qualified to enter the mansion?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color together, the meaning of Zhen Peiyi's words was extremely obvious, and it didn't matter if they couldn't enjoy it exclusively, if they weren't qualified to enter the mansion, wouldn't it mean that Zhen Wanyi didn't even get the position of side concubine? The concubine's family is not a serious relative of the palace.

The fourth mother of the Li family hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law drank too much wine today and said drunk words." Nine sisters, the first time we met today, my sister's appearance shocked Siniang, I only felt like seeing a celestial person, I thought that the nine heavenly fairies were just like this, but it was a pity that Siniang and her sister's identity were very different, and Siniang did not ask for anything else, I just wanted to borrow the palace wine today to express my heartfelt feelings, I hope my sister will not dislike my sister's low background, and I can often come and go with my sister in the future, and my sister will have no regrets. ”

Zhen Wanyi's eyes flashed, the words of the two sisters-in-law were really speechless, one was mean and the other was sour, her teeth hurt when she heard it, so she didn't say more than half a sentence, just drink, another glass of wine went down to her stomach, and her body warmed up, the whole person was warm and comfortable, this wine is really good.

Mama Mu watched from the side and hurriedly returned to Zhen Wanyi's side, "Miss Jiu, although this Jinhua liquid tastes good, it also has stamina, you drink it slowly, let's drink a bowl of soup first." ”

Zhen Wanyi smiled innocently, "Don't worry, Mama can't get drunk with this wine, Mama should help me change some other dishes." ”

Mama Mu smiled: "There is also a clam meat soup soup, do you want to try Miss Jiu?"

Zhen Wanyi nodded hurriedly, "Well, this is okay." Mama just asked the house to serve some normal dishes. ”

Mama Mu smiled: "Miss Nine is really the same as my lord, and she doesn't like these rare and rare foods. ”

Zhen Wanyi thought about the dishes in front of her, did the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty miss the kind of life of drinking blood when there was no fire in the primitive period? Even if you have sashimi, you can eat raw venison, beef, bear meat, and mutton? And drink human milk, what kind of hobby is this? It's terrible.

"This is the White Salon, take the tender meat in the lamb spine and stir-fry, it is tender and delicious, Miss Nine tastes it. ”

"This is a hump grill, the hump is marinated with a secret seasoning and then grilled with charcoal, the taste is thick, Miss Nine also gave it a try. ”

"This is a gourd chicken, the chicken is tied and cooked in a special way, it is mellow and tender, Miss Nine try it. ”

"This is a miscellaneous cake, it is made by the Department of Medicine of the Food Bureau according to the ancient prescription, with medicine, and it can be used to replenish qi and blood, beautify and nourish the skin, but this miscellaneous cake needs to be hot, Miss Nine try it." ”

The dishes after this were finally normal, Zhen Wanyi's chopsticks didn't stop again, and finally felt that her stomach was filled before she rested.

Ma Liuniang breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw Zhen Wanyi put down her chopsticks, tidied up her clothes, stood up and shook her glass to Zhen Wanyi, "Jiu Niang, I respect you for this cup, I wish Jiu Niang in advance, and I hope that Jiu Niang can bring her sister more in the future." ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at Ma Liuniang dressed up so coolly and solemnly, the cold hairs on her back stood up a little, she hurriedly raised the cup and fell down with a sip, and smiled bitterly, how can she carry it? ”

Ma Liuniang put down the cup, but the person didn't sit down, "Where are the kind words, what my sister said is sincere." My sister's status in the future is unspeakably expensive, and my sister only has the opportunity to be close to my sister now, if my sister doesn't dislike it, why don't I come to my house tomorrow?"

Zhen Wanyi was stunned for a moment, "Tomorrow? this, I'm afraid this won't work, what if I have something to do tomorrow?"

The fourth wife's eyes flashed, and she sighed, but don't be too reluctant Wan'er, "Liuniang, Ming'er is really not a coincidence, I made an appointment with Wan'er to go to the door tomorrow, and we will return to our hometown in two days, I am afraid that we will not be free these days, and when Wan'er returns to Beijing in the future, I will invite you to come to the house to play, Wan'er has no friends in the capital, you can afford her to come and go more in the future, and there is no need to say polite words that dislike or dislike, everyone is a relative, too polite but it seems rusty." ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at her mother with admiration, and almost jumped up to kiss the two of them, Jiang is really old and spicy, look at what she said, she beat Li Siniang and Ma Liuniang all at once.

Then the atmosphere was much better, everyone in the Zhen Mansion toasted one by one, and the women of the Yu Mansion naturally couldn't be left behind, Zhen Wanyi, as a junior, naturally had to pay tribute to several wives one by one, so the small wine cup never left Zhen Wanyi's hand, and two pots of Jinhua liquid were added to the pot, and Mama Mu had the heart to stop it, but looking at Zhen Wanyi's delicate face, the mouth that she wanted to open several times was also closed, and she watched with a smile.
