Chapter 56: Autumn Crab Feast (2)
Xue Shi took out a box of peach-colored rouge from his fat powder, this box was made of mutton fat white jade, looking smooth and warm, very gratifying, Jinyu opened the box of rouge and smelled it, and a light and elegant peach blossom fragrance greeted him.
"This is He's peach blossom resin, didn't Jinyu still want this thing a few days ago. This is brought by the second master from Beijing, and I will not be suitable for this little girl's color, so I will call you over and give it to you. Jinyu was a little surprised, bowed her head slightly, and looked at Xue's increasingly weird eyebrows.
"Ling Xiao, go and bring the Fengyang peach cake."
"This Fengyang peach crisp is a specialty of my hometown, let Jinyu taste the world-famous Fengyang peach crisp today." Jinyu took Xue's peach crisp, took a bite gently, and suddenly felt a fragrance flowing between her lips and teeth.
"It's delicious." Jinyu wiped her mouth, Xue Shi glanced at Ling Xiao who was waiting on the side, and Ling Xiao packed Jiang Zhe's things and handed them to the green sparrow who was beside Jinyu.
"Auntie, is there something you want to tell me?" Jinyu asked, Xue smiled and said, "But there is something to ask Jinyu, you two go down first." Ling Xiao understood, and led the green finch to wait outside the door, at this time Xue said, "I remember what Jinyu said to me before." ”
"Auntie is an extremely particular person, and she will definitely not hurt our harmony because of this kind of thing, I think that the eldest sister is also a very conspicuous concubine, and my aunt must not be embarrassed by her, I said that before it was also because I was instigated by the villain, so I did such a reckless thing, and I ask my aunt to forgive me."
"Oh, Jinyu is right to say this, why is the family so stiff, my aunt has something to ask for now, but I don't know if Jinyu is willing to help me with this." Jinyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with a smile, "Auntie, just say it, as long as Jinyu can do it, she will try her best to help." Xue Shi was a little surprised, smiled, and took Jinyu's hand.
"I heard you say last time that you have the evidence, can you borrow it from your aunt." Xue said, Jinyu raised her eyebrows, "Okay, but I believe that a reasonable person like my aunt must know that everyone has difficulties." Jinyu touched the white jade rouge.
"Jinyu said, Auntie will definitely help you." Xue said, Jinyu smiled and shook Xue's hand, and said, "Auntie don't be nervous, I naturally know how to do things, I just want Auntie to help me install a girl to Su Rou in your name." ”
"This aunt can naturally help, but does this person want the aunt to help you choose?" Xue asked, Jinyu let go of her hand, and said, "I heard that the latest batch of girls is coming, can you let me choose a girl for my good sister." ”
"Okay, so what about the evidence?"
"After choosing a good person, I will send someone to send it to you, don't worry." Jinyu's dark eyes looked at Xue Shi with a palpitation.
"It's not too early, Jinyu will go back first, Auntie still has some things to do."
Jinyu got up, looked at Xue and said, "That's it, I'll go back first." ”
"Okay, Ling Xiao will send the fourth lady back."
Ling Xiao led Jinyu and Qingque away, and at this time Ling Xiao said, "Fourth Miss, Mrs. has instructed that tomorrow morning, the new girl will arrive, let you pick a few that you like." ”
"I know, thank you Sister Ling Xiao, let's send it here." Jinyu gave Qingque a look, and Qingque took out a string of silver nudes from her arms and handed it to Ling Xiao.
When the master and servant walked to the garden, they happened to meet Su Rou's mother and daughter who were walking, and when Su Rou saw her, she immediately stepped forward to greet Jinyu, and said, "Miss Jinyu, hello." Jinyu looked at Su Rou with a weak little white flower, and her teeth were very itchy.
But Jinyu didn't have a seizure, just pretended not to see her, and left directly, Zhang Jinsu on the side was suddenly very angry, and said to Su Rou, "Mother, you know that she won't pay attention to you, why do you still talk to her." ”
Su Rou said softly, "After all, she is a concubine, we should respect her, Zhang Jinsu is wondering, when did her mother become so gentle and virtuous." When they looked closely, it turned out that the old lady was behind them.
"I know, mother, that's how you get bullied by others, but in order to see your father, it doesn't matter if you're bullied by others." Zhang Jinsu said a little frustratedly.
"What's going on? Weaving hasn't been to your yard yet? The old lady asked, the jade on the side helped the old lady to come to the courtyard to go around, Mrs. Wang was also waiting behind her, Zhang Jinsu heard the voice of the old lady, and immediately said, "The old ancestor may have heard it wrong, Daddy is very good to us, really." In the end, the confidence was obviously insufficient.
"Alas, Weiwen, this child, you don't have to be too wronged by yourself, I will add some examples to you this month, I can't think that our Zhang family treats the concubine room harshly."
Mrs. Wang on the side didn't speak but slandered in her heart, this big family has never heard of the saying that the concubine can be treated better, but it is no wonder that this old lady was originally the old lady's concubine, but because of this method, after the main owner died, he was corrected.
Su Rou thanked the old lady for her kindness.
Xizhang Mansion is the richest, but unlike this East Mansion, the people of Xifu are relatively simple, only the eldest lord Zhang Chengli, the third son Zhang Weiqiao, the eldest son died of illness, and there is a second daughter named Zhang Dai who has not yet married, but this Zhang Dai is eighteen years old this year, and most of the family's business is run by her. This year, they are all preparing to come to Dongzhang for a crab banquet, firstly, because the daughter-in-law is too thin, and secondly, because the old lady misses her grandson Brother Qiao.
Therefore, the stewards of the Dongzhang Mansion were very busy, and invited the best opera troupe in Jinling, and invited the best chef in Jinling to cook this crab dish for the occasion
The place where the crab banquet is held is a water pavilion in the Cixi courtyard of the old lady, the long vermilion verandah is full of exquisite palace lamps, and there are lotus lamps in the water.
The girl nodded hurriedly, and at this time, Mo Mei, who came out of the kitchen, saw Biyu and said, "Thanks to Sister Biyu's words, I won't run more." Biyu smiled and said, "It's all sisters, this is the right thing, now is not the time to speak, you go and get busy." ”
Mo Mei looked at Jasper's figure.
"Sister Momei, come on, where are you going to put this thing here?"
Mo Mei hurriedly ran over.
Xue Shi was on the platform in the center of the water pavilion, drinking tea a little anxiously, and Ling Xiao on the side wiped her sweat.
"My wife looks at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain." Ling Xiao said, the Xue family became even more anxious, so he ordered, let the Wang family take out those rainy guys,
"Yes, the slave will go and command."
