Chapter 71 The Crowd Surging to Dingxi (3)
There is no woman who doesn't like brocade clothes, and Lan Qiduo's brocade clothes are even in the capital, and her occasional travel, what clothes she wears will generally become the trend in Beijing at that time, not to mention Xiliangfu, a place so far away from the capital?
The woman opposite was majestic and inviolable when she was wearing official clothes, and after changing into women's clothes, she was beautiful and generous, steady and dignified, and the emerald inlaid earrings on her ears swayed as she walked, until she had already walked into the flower hall before she turned around and smiled: "Isn't Mrs. Xue going to invite the palace to dinner?" Let this palace do not look at it? ”
This smile is like a hundred flowers blooming, Mrs. Xue, who is very stable in the eyes of everyone on weekdays, couldn't help but blush at this time, and hurriedly took people in, although there were nine people in total, but they were divided into two tables to eat, and everyone stood before Lan Qiduo sat down.
Of course, Lan Qiduo did the innermost table, the chair is a rosewood carved chair, it is very gorgeous at a glance, Lan Qiduo sat in front of the table and said: "The ladies don't have to be formal, speaking of the horses are just four-grade officials, no different from everyone, if the ladies are hindered by their identity, then after this meal, won't the palace have indigestion?" ”
She was kind and pleasant, and everyone naturally warmed up the atmosphere.
Just when everyone was talking, as usual, there were eunuchs with chopsticks to add up all the dishes and try it, the ladies looked frightened, but no one dared to say a word, only Ou Yuan this Lan Qiduo spoke, they saw this kind of thing for the first time, they used to think that His Majesty had this honor, but now they found out that this princess also has someone to try the dishes, and they can't help but be more cautious.
After a cup of tea, Lan Qiduo looked at the eunuch who was trying the dishes, the eunuch nodded, and Lan Qiduo took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.
Fortunately, the noon season in the northwest is just lukewarm, and the dishes on the table are all local specialties in the northwest, and I am not afraid that some dishes will be cold.
When everyone saw Lan Qiduo pick up the chopsticks, they dared to pick up the chopsticks. But the three people at the table with Lan Qiduo, Lan Qiduo didn't move the dishes with chopsticks, and no one moved them.
The rest of the time is that Xiao Tuping personally sandwiched the dishes in the distance to Lan Qiduo in the bowl, so many people looked at her cautiously, Lan Qiduo didn't know, but she didn't have any discomfort, and enjoyed the delicious taste different from the capital with peace of mind. But it's a pity that she obeys the rules of no more than three things outside, and no matter how much she likes the same dish, she can't clip more than three chopsticks.
The room was too quiet, Lan Qiduo ate a chopsticks of shepherd's cabbage, only felt that it was different from what she had eaten before, she also wanted to ease the atmosphere, pointed to the shepherd's cabbage and said, "This is different from the way of eating in the capital." ”
The prefect's wife hurriedly put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth and said respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness, this dish is called 'Shepherd's cabbage roll spring', the most important thing is the shepherd's cabbage and the spring cake crust, the shepherd's cabbage can not be too old, the spring pie crust should be as thin as paper, and then use minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and chili oil together with some cold boiled water, so that it is delicious to dip and eat." ”
Lan Qi is like most girls don't like meat very much, this kind of eating method different from the capital she also likes, but she also ate two, in addition to snow lotus seeds and matsutake mushroom stewed tofu, chives mixed with liver, hand-grasped mutton, abalone sauce eggplant box, sauce roasted lamb face meat, iron plate cowboy bones, pickled pepper cucumber, glazed taro, these dishes Lan Qiduo can recognize, some dishes Lan Qiduo has never seen before.
However, there is a dish of "fish and sheep fresh" in this is extremely delicious, and it really deserves the word "fresh", Lan Qiduo experienced the feeling of wanting to swallow even his tongue as Xiao Tuxi said for the first time! It's not that I haven't tasted this fish and sheep in Beijing, but it's not as delicious as here, if it weren't for the scruples outside, Lan Qiduo really wanted to have another bowl.
Lan Qiduo came to the backyard today just to rest a little, to say hello to the officials of Xiliang Mansion, and when they have the officials of Xiliang Mansion in the future, they are willing to come over quickly. It's okay if she doesn't come to this trip, if Lan Qiduo in the previous life will naturally take it for granted, how can she, a princess, go to someone else's house, so much as she seems to be low-voiced, but now it's different, she knows that it is a reason that a person has to deal with you for other reasons, but because he is willing to deal with you is another reason, if he can make a person willing to deal with you willingly, why do you want him to deal with you because of power and status?
After the meal, the prefect's wife and a kind of Tongzhi, Zhizhou lady are much more relaxed than before, Lan Qiduo herself ate a delicious meal is also in a happy mood, she generously asked about the Northwest things, such as what the people eat every day, what they live on, what the shops on the street sell and so on.
A quarter of an hour after the meal, Lan Qiduo was usually thunderous and could not eat, but today she took a few ladies to walk around the backyard of the prefect's yamen, and said a few words to pay for the layout of the yamen's backyard, Lan Qiduo saw that the begonias on the branches were blooming well, turned her head to look at the prefect's wife and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked Mrs. for the clothes prepared by Mrs. today, and the begonia flower style is very good-looking." ”
"Your Highness has a good reputation! It's a shame to say that Xiliang Mansion is not as prosperous as the capital, and this is the best thing that a courtier can come up with! Your Highness doesn't dislike it! ”
"The capital has the prosperity of the capital, and the Xiliang Mansion has the style of the Xiliang Mansion, and the palace thinks that the dress is very beautiful."
The prefect's wife couldn't hide her surprise anymore, and said to Lan Qiduo in a stack: "Your Highness likes it!" ”
Lan Qiduo saw that the little Tule sent out had returned, nodded at her, looked at the ladies around her and said: "This palace has just arrived, and there are no good things to give to everyone, but the left is just some hairpin jewelry popular in the capital, please accept it." ”
Lanziduo wants to reward them, but where will the people not take it? But when they got it, they were really happy! The ladies got things like gold silk inlaid gemstone leaf earrings, golden cicada hairpins on rainy nights, red agate bracelets, Jingfu long hairpins, etc., and the most important thing is that almost all of them happen to be personal favorites! That's a lot of money! It can be said that everyone is happy, and things are secondary, but Her Royal Highness the princess's heart is rare.
They followed their husbands to take up their posts only after the Dingxi Army defeated the Inurong people last year, Xiliangfu is a barren place, windy and sandy, don't say anything good, sometimes they live with trembling, they are afraid that one day the Inurong people will fight again, don't talk about anything else, whether the life can be saved is not certain!
Hearing that Her Royal Highness the princess is coming, no one is happier than the lady of their inner house, the princess coming to the northwest means that Xiliang Mansion will be much safer in the future, not to mention that Her Royal Highness the princess is still so approachable, does it mean that their husband's life will be better, how can it not make people happy?
