Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Imperial Kitchen is Frightened
"But it doesn't matter, you can wash it, and then dig the top layer with a knife, if you are still not at ease, I will put it on the pot for you to steam it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zheng Rong was a little embarrassed, she felt that her ability was limited, this was the only way she could think of to help Bai Yueshuang get enough begonia pears.
"Okay then......" Bai Yueshuang endured her nausea and said to Zhengrong: "You must help me deal with it!" Be sure to dig it up for me and steam it. ”
"Don't worry." "I estimate that there will be ten tomorrow, and with the current weather, it will not be a problem to put it for two or three days." ”
"Hey! Is this risky? Bai Yueshuang suddenly remembered that she resolutely couldn't suffer because of this incident.
"Don't worry! These things should have been taken and thrown away by me, the maid who served the dishes. What does it matter if I pick up some 'trash'? ”
"Then be careful, if you can't get it, don't force it!" Bai Yueshuang was not at ease and admonished.
"Okay, okay, tomorrow is still this hour, let's see you here!" After speaking, Zhengrong got up and left.
The moment Zheng Rong got up, Bai Yueshuang suddenly grabbed her and said, "Zheng Rong! What about the gold necklace that your mother gave you around your neck? ”
Zheng Rong hurriedly covered his chest, bowed his head and left.
Bai Yueshuang grabbed her, and her sharp eyes did not allow Zheng Rong to lie.
"Lost ...... Lost! ”
Zhengrong is the least able to lie, and her whole face flushes as soon as she lies.
Bai Yueshuang thought about Zheng Rong bribing the grandmothers of the imperial kitchen every day, but she was afraid that she would feed the appetite of those grandmothers.
Bai Yueshuang thought about Zhengrong's situation, and said: "Tomorrow, you won't come to the song and dance workshop to find me, I'll go to the imperial kitchen to find you, and you will talk to that grandma when you go back today." I gave her double the amount of silver. ”
"No need to ......" Zheng Rong refused.
Bai Yueshuang grabbed her arm and chased: "You must do what I say!" ”
Zheng Rong nodded helplessly and left.
Bai Yueshuang returned to the house, turned over and fell asleep, she thought that she gave the silver that Bai Yuebing handed over to Eunuch Zhang, how could she conjure up the silver tomorrow to send the grandmother who was the guard of the imperial kitchen?
Bai Yueshuang touched the golden butterfly ring on her hand, this is the most valuable thing she brought into the palace, but there is no pawnshop in the palace, where can I exchange it for cash for a while? For this reason, Bai Yueshuang was restless, and when the sky was bright, she seemed to sleep for a short time.
Early the next morning, Bai Yueshuang got up and looked in the mirror according to her usual habits.
"Ahh Bai Yueshuang screamed, probably because she was too worried last night, and a red pimple broke out on her forehead, which was very unsightly.
Hearing this, the egret glanced at Bai Yueshuang, and sneered: "Yo~~~ Yueshuang, what kind of makeup did you paint today?" It's fashionable! ”
Bai Yueshuang was very anxious in her heart, there were still ten days to decide who would lead the dance, wouldn't the appearance of her face be equivalent to going out directly? But she still pretended to be calm and calm on the surface: "Isn't it just something that happened?" It will disappear in three or five days. ”
Ever since Mama Han and Mama Su decided to choose one person from Bai Yueshuang and Egret to be the lead dancer of the Jade Pan Dance, the egret began to target Bai Yueshuang intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, she heard Bai Yueshuang say this, and deliberately laughed loudly: "Which of us doesn't come here?" If you're like this, you don't even know how scary your face looks now! ”
"It's called half Jiang Se Se and half Jiang Hong." Bai Yueshuang replied angrily.
"What color? What red? The egret asked blankly.
"Nothing." Bai Yueshuang knew that the egret didn't understand, but she was just teasing herself.
When she was in the morning class, Mama Han saw Bai Yueshuang's face and coughed, Mama Su asked her what was going on, and Bai Yueshuang told the truth, saying that she had been a little stressed in the past two days.
At noon, Bai Yueshuang found Biliu and begged her to lend her some silver and give her her her gold ring as collateral.
Biliu said with a little embarrassment: "Yueshuang, I have never had much silver, and I only saved these five taels in three years. If you are useful, take it first, without any collateral. ”
Bai Yueshuang thought to herself, five taels was enough, so she stuffed the golden ring to Biliu and said, "You can save this ring for me for two days first." ”
Biliu still wanted to refuse, but when she touched Bai Yueshuang's firm eyes, she was forced to accept it.
At night, Bai Yueshuang came to the imperial kitchen unknowingly, and gave Mama four taels of silver as scheduled. Zheng Rong quietly answered her behind the door, and as soon as Bai Yueshuang came in, he pulled her behind the large firewood stove in the innermost part of the imperial kitchen.
"Yueshuang, you see, I secretly hid six begonia pears, cut off the top ones, washed them with well water, and steamed them back in the pot."
Zheng Rong squatted, opened the cloth bag in his hand, and sure enough, six begonia pears were neatly placed inside.
"Thank you, for your hard work." Bai Yueshuang also squatted down, happily took the cloth bag, and tightened it from the collar into his arms.
As soon as Bai Yueshuang put on her things, she suddenly heard Suosuo's movement at the door of the imperial kitchen, and it seemed that someone was coming.
Zheng Rong was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth, and signaled Bai Yueshuang not to make a sound.
Bai Yueshuang didn't dare to move when she squatted, her hands hugged her knees tightly, and the sweat beads on her head fell down drop by drop. If they are discovered, they can be beaten to death according to the palace rules.
Zhengrong's legs also began to tremble uncontrollably, although Bai Yueshuang's own heart was about to jump out of her chest, she still patted Zhengrong's shoulder and comforted her.
Who's going to be the chef at this time? Isn't it called on the third watch? Bai Yueshuang comforted herself, it must be some gluttonous little palace maid and little eunuch who came to the imperial kitchen to steal supper, as long as she didn't move, that person should take back the things and leave.
"Tuk! Sincere! Sincere! The voice was getting closer and closer, and Bai Yueshuang was so suffocated that her head was about to explode! Don't come, don't come! I was so unlucky, why was I found out on the first day I came to the Imperial Kitchen! Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless, don't come!
I only heard a black shadow, "squeak" pushed open the door of the imperial kitchen.
The dark shadow wandered around the Imperial Kitchen for a while, and then silently seemed to stop somewhere.
Oh, my God! This guy didn't go out, but lived somewhere in this dark imperial kitchen, which was also too scary, Bai Yueshuang was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe!
Zheng Rong buried his head deeply, and Bai Yueshuang also closed his eyes, so he could only obey the arrangement of fate at this time.
After a while, there was still no movement, could it be that someone had fallen asleep? Bai Yueshuang mustered up her courage, opened her eyes, and raised her head to look around.
