Pingguo Mansion.

Hearing that a painstakingly designed show actually made that girl easily resolve it again, Mrs. Tan was obviously very angry.

Lu's mother exonerated herself and said, "I really can't blame the slave for not doing her best, but that sister is too cunning." The couple surnamed Tian couldn't work together, so they took advantage of her loophole. But fortunately, the slave used a pseudonym when she saw her, and she couldn't get to us. ”

Mrs. Tan was still very annoyed when she heard this, "I have already boasted about Haikou in front of the Queen Mother, if I can't do anything, won't it make the Queen Mother angry?" ”

Then Lu's mother can't do anything, she can't rush to people and help beat people, right?

When the master and servant were at a loss, they suddenly heard that the princess of Changguo had come to visit. Mrs. Tan hurriedly got up and went out to greet her in person.

Gao Xiuru was very polite, "My little aunt is an elder, how can I bother you to come to greet her?" Here are some of the specialties we brought from the southwest, so please don't dislike them. ”

Mrs. Tan was very satisfied with the small number of but exquisite gifts.

At the moment, Mu Shaoqin is not at home, although the housekeeper controls the treasury and does not let her move, but after all, she is the hostess of this Guogong Mansion, and these gifts are sent to her, so Mrs. Tan made a look and asked Lu's mother to quickly accept it, and she entered her own small warehouse first to feel at ease.

Then I wanted to gossip with Gao Xiuru, the set was almost, but although Gao Xiuru was a young woman, she had been in her career for decades, and the boudoir atmosphere on her body was very light, and she felt a headache when she said a few more words of rouge pollen, and she was going to get up and say goodbye when she found an excuse.

"The pony is recuperating at the moment, and his appetite is not very good. I still have to go back and get some food for him, so I won't stay with my aunt for long. ”

Mrs. Tan was quite disappointed, but it was difficult to keep her, so she had to send her out of the palace and said politely, "What does the princess like to eat?" Maybe my family can still have one or two, and my family doesn't have to be polite. ”

Gao Xiuru was quite worried when she said it, "I'm just leaving, what can't I eat when I'm in the army?" It's just that the horse is not in good health, and the doctor said that he can only eat some porridge and side dishes. Once upon a time we were in the Southwest. There is a small temple in the city. It's a good vegetarian food there, but I don't know if there is one in this Beijing. ”

Mrs. Tan had a flash of inspiration, suddenly remembered something, and thought about it. "Let's talk about vegetarian fasting. The apprentice of the head of the imperial dining room, Lu Ying and Lu San, also did a good job. Especially the tofu is delicious. Even Grandpa Guo has praised it. Last time on the Queen Mother's birthday, she offered a goose paw, and the Queen Mother liked it very much. also rewarded her with a golden hairpin. ”

Gao Xiuru also heard about it, but she was more interested in another person, "I heard that Sister Zhu is also very good at making tofu, and the landscape tofu flowers she made can move the imperial grandmother to tears, I really want to see it when I have the opportunity." ”

It's a pity that the Queen Mother doesn't like her, so Gao Xiuru still has some scruples.

Mrs. Tan smiled and said, "She was just opportunistic, and she just touched the Queen Mother's heart." The real craftsmanship is still the third girl of Lu San. I don't believe that the princess summoned her to the house to give it a try, and she can't make a mistake. ”

Gao Xiuru thought about this, so she thanked Mrs. Tan again, "Thank you aunt for taking the trouble to guide me like this, if there is anything that can be used for me in the future, please feel free to speak." ”

Mrs. Tan really wanted to ask her for something, but she pretended to hesitate and stopped talking.

Gao Xiuru said, "But what's the difficulty?" ”

Mrs. Tan sighed, "I shouldn't have said this, but the New Year is coming soon, and I always feel a little sad when I think that there are still people in my family who are practicing in Baoguang Temple and cannot be reunited." ”

Gao Xiuru thought for a while, and remembered, "What my aunt said is my uncle's daughter, the county lord of Ruian?" ”

Mrs. Tan hurriedly said, "It's not a county lord for a long time, princess, don't be polite." It's just that although I am her stepmother, I also want to take her back to live in the New Year. ”

Seeing that her eyes were red when she said it, Gao Xiuru felt a little compassionate, and said with a smile, "It's not a difficult thing, I'll talk to the imperial grandmother when I find an opportunity in a few days, and let her come back." ”

Mrs. Tan hurriedly thanked her, and when the people were far away, Mother Lu asked suspiciously, "What did Madam do when she brought that cheap girl back?" ”

Mrs. Tan glanced at her, and the corners of her lips hooked up a chuckle, "Of course it's when it's useful." ”

After eating fasting for so many days, I think that girl must be holding back a lot of fire, as long as she picks it up a little, it is difficult to ensure that she does not make trouble. If it was in the past, it might have made the Queen Mother angry, but now the Queen Mother is wishing that someone would find that Sister Zhu'er's stubble, if this knife is used well, the Queen Mother will be happy to see it.

As for the third girl Lu, Mrs. Tan didn't believe it, she lost to Sister Zhu in the main hall that day, and she didn't have any resentment in her heart. Her two-pronged approach will always add some blockage to that Sister Zhu'er, right? I don't believe she can be so lucky to dodge it every time!

To say that Mrs. Tan's judgment is basically correct.

When Gao Xiuru returned to the palace and ordered someone to send Lu Ying, saying that she wanted her to prepare a few side dishes for Wei Yinian, Lu Ying first readily agreed, but then said, "If you want to talk about tofu alone, then the sister of the Zhu family is also a little outstanding." Why didn't the princess ask General Gongsun to pass her on? ”

A faint unnaturalness suddenly appeared in Gao Xiuru's beautiful eyebrows, "Are you talking about Gongsun Hong?" ”

Lu Ying carefully spied on her expression, her heart was more stable, and she said more generously and calmly, "Yes, if you want to talk about my first acquaintance with the sister of the Zhu family, and I almost had a big misunderstanding with General Gongsun, it can be regarded as not knowing each other." ”

The expression on Gao Xiuru's face became even more strange and unnatural, "Then how did you meet?" ”

"It's just that my maid had a few words with Sister Zhu, which made General Gongsun misunderstand that we were bullying Sister Zhu, and suddenly lost his temper, but my maid was scared a lot."

Listening to her talk lightly in a joking tone, Gao Xiuru's heart was as uncomfortable as throwing a caterpillar into it. But it was only for a short moment, and she quickly came back to her senses and said lightly, "Oh, then I know what to do, you go down and prepare." ”

Lu Ying nodded yes and bowed to leave. When she returned home, Zijiang couldn't help but say, "Why does the girl want to recommend Sister Zhu in front of the princess and grow up her ambition?" ”

Lu Ying raised her eyebrows and sneered, is it a recommendation?

Looking at the look of Princess Changguo, I was afraid that I would strangle Sister Zhu'er's heart.

The reason why the Lu family has been able to walk in the palace for all these years is not only because of their outstanding cooking skills, but also because they always pay special attention to the private affairs in the palace.

It seems that the rumors I have heard before are true, and Princess Changguo is only afraid that there is some ambiguity with Gongsun Hongzhen. As for what she married to the current colt. And Gongsun Hong has never married, and Lu Ying is not very clear, but it is enough for her to know that they are a little ambiguous.

She is also a woman, so she can naturally figure out a woman's mind. No matter how sassy and free the princess of Changguo is. But when I learned that the person I had in mind in the past was empathetic. I'm afraid I'm not happy when I take extra care of another girl, right?

"Ah Ying!" before entering the courtyard gate. Suddenly, Lu Wenshi rushed out with an anxious face, grabbed her and left, "Quick." Come with me to see your grandfather, and say that you don't want to enter the palace. They are too much, they didn't even ask us what they meant, and they reported you to the name of the female official selected in the palace this time, this ......"

"Mother." Pulling her hand out of her mother's hand, Lu Ying said quietly, "I reported this name myself, it's none of their business." ”

What the? Lu Wen's eyes widened, and he looked at his daughter in disbelief, and then said, "Aren't you already ......?"

"I've already thought about it, with our family background, at most we can marry a family of three eunuchs, so what's the point?" Lu Ying said calmly while entering the house first.

Lu Wenshi kept up dumbfounded, "But even if you go to the palace to be a female official for a few years, where can you marry better when you come out?" Besides, he's getting older......"

Lu Ying looked at her mother and smiled confidently, "What are you afraid of when you're older?" With the connections I have accumulated in the palace for several years at that time, I believe that even if I can't be a yuan match, I can still be a step-room to fill the house. If the other party is higher, I don't mind being a concubine. ”

What the? Lu Wenshi was shocked, "You...... How can you be a concubine? Have you forgotten how your father's concubines harmed our mother and daughter? ”

"yes, how can you forget? Men like the new and hate the old, and prefer little wives. Lu Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled a little coldly, "Mother, don't persuade me, I've already made up my mind." In the past, I was thinking that either I would not get married, or if I wanted to marry, I would have to be a non-angry room, but now that I think about it, I am still too naïve. How many years can a woman be young and delicate in this life? Instead of being bullied by a few concubines like you and unable to hold your head up for half your life, it is better to be a favored concubine. But I won't be so stupid, let the main room clean me up, if I become a concubine, I must find myself a long-term glory and wealth. ”

Lu Wenshi looked at his daughter, and suddenly felt as if he had become unrecognizable, "Ah Ying, you ...... How did you end up like this? ”

"What has become of me?" Lu Ying smiled slightly, elegant and generous, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine." I just figured things out and wanted to make my life better in the future. Okay, don't bother me here, I also promised the prince of Chang Guo to cook for the horses, but I can't delay. ”

When Lu Wenshi pushed out of the door, Lu Ying's eyes suddenly froze, revealing a bit of fierceness, and muttered, "I will become like this, all thanks to the two of you!" Ouyang Kang, Mu Nianfu, I will definitely not let you go. If you dare to bully me and insult me like this, one day, I will return it to you tenfold and hundredfold! ”

"Girl." Outside the door, Zijiang asked, "Are you going to the kitchen now?" I've already changed my clothes. ”

Lu Ying snorted, changed her clothes quickly, and came out soon.

Seeing her look as usual, Zijiang also said with merit, "I have already soaked the beans for grinding tofu, in addition to soybeans, there are also black beans and red beans, do we want to make some colored tofu too?" ”

Lu Ying snorted contemptuously, "If she breaks the sky, it's just a plate of tofu." If we want to do it, we will naturally do it a thousand times better than her. ”

"And what do you do it with?"

"Purple ginger, have you heard of the four delicacies in the world? Bear's paw shark fin, deer fetal monkey brain, that monkey brain looks like tofu flower on the surface, but the taste is thousands of times better. ”

Zi Jiang trembled when he heard this, goosebumps rose, monkey brain? That...... Can you still eat that?

(Don't be polite to everyone's tickets, Guizi went to the 4th watch in the thunderstorm and lightning rainstorm, because of the turtle speed, but also to eat, and strive to send it before 10 o'clock!) (To be continued......)
