Chapter 170: Bamboo Rice

Yan Xiaoyue instructed: "You go to Liniang, find out what she means, if she wants to be a concubine, you can tell her how the concubines in this imperial city live." If you don't want to be a concubine and want to marry someone else, just say that I have someone to introduce to her, but after getting married, you have to sign a deed of sale, you can make it clear and let her choose. ”

After waiting for the silver bottle to go down, Jin Ling said: "Master, don't worry, Liniang is not the Jin Xiu sister back then, she receives the daughters of official wives in the store, and she has heard much more than us, if she is a smart person, how can she go to be a concubine for a concubine?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled, "Okay, I've pointed out the way, it's up to her how to choose." ”

After Yan Xiaoyue finished speaking, she waved her hand to let the others retreat, looked at the two girls in front of her, and said with a smile: "Jin Ling Jin Qiao, you are also over sixteen years old, it's time to think about lifelong events, after the New Year, you will give me an answer, should someone in the house be a housekeeper by my side, or choose someone outside the house to help me look after the store?" I'll tell you in advance, Jinbao is not young, the former son returned to his brother and said that he wanted me to help look at each other, if you don't open your mouth, I will point it to Li Niang. ”

Jin Ling first opened her mouth, then closed it, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't make a sound, Yan Xiaoyue also pretended not to see it, and lowered her head to drink tea with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Jin Ling didn't want to speak, but Jin Qiao couldn't help it, pushed Jin Ling, and said: "Master, Jin Ling is thin-skinned and embarrassed to speak, so the slave maid said it for her, Jinbao has not married anyone for so many years just to wait for Jin Ling!" ”

Yan Xiaoyue pretended to be surprised and said, "There is also this matter, why have you never mentioned it." Don't say anything about Jinbao? ”

"Jinbao should have talked to the young master, but the young master said that you just entered the Jiang Mansion and are afraid that you will not be used to Jin Ling, so let Jinbao wait first."

Yan Xiaoyue was really surprised this time, remembering that Muzi had done it for her, not to mention this.

"This year, it looks like the New Year is coming, and there is really no shortage of Jin Ling around me, wait a few more months, and I will give you a dowry after the beginning of spring next year."

Jin Ling's face was flushed, and she whispered: "Master, don't listen to Jin Qiao's nonsense, the slave and maid will wait for two years to remarry." ”

"Alright. Don't be shy. Wait another two years, I'm afraid that Jinbao will hate me to death. ”

Jin Ling was also anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "He dares!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Jin Qiao, don't be busy laughing, you have to prepare next year."

Jin Qiao was stunned. "Master. I. I really don't want to marry, and I don't have anyone to marry. ”

Jin Ling looked at Jin Qiao worriedly when she heard this, and wanted to open her mouth, but in the end she just sighed secretly. Retreated.

This year's New Year in the Jiang Mansion, Yan Xiaoyue only needs to take care of the chores of Yanyue Residence, so it is easier than in the Yang Mansion. Just loaded two carts of New Year's gifts and sent them to Mu Mansion and Yang Mansion respectively, and then asked people to clean the Jin Garden, and hung red lanterns around Yanyue Residence, which added a bit of popularity.

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Siyan got up together and Yan Xiaoyue also got up to freshen up.

"Why are you waking up so early today?" Jiang Siyan asked while freshening up, you must know that Yan Xiaoyue never thought about getting up when she didn't sleep until dawn on weekdays.

"Can you compare today to your usual life?"

"You don't have to be in a hurry, your grandfather and grandmother have to have lunch in the palace today, and they will eat in the house in the evening."

Yan Xiaoyue's dressed hands paused, "There is such a thing, why did my father-in-law have lunch at home last year?" ”

"Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse this year, so I naturally hope that the monarch and ministers can get along more and have fun. Besides, the scope of this palace banquet is sometimes small, and the people who participate are fewer of them are first-class officials, but this year there will be more officials, including the father-in-law. ”

Yan Xiaoyue frowned when she heard this, the emperor invited the imperial doctor several times this winter, but the position of the prince has not yet been decided, the people in the imperial city are panicked, and the banquets in various mansions this year are also very few, and everyone seems to have discussed it. Banquets like the Jin Palace, which can't be shirked, are all brought by Yan Xiaoyue to the little ladies in the mansion, anyway, they don't represent anything.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Siyan looked at the lady and said strangely.

Yan Xiaoyue came back to her senses and said casually, "It's nothing." I just feel that Your Majesty is not in good health, why didn't you make a reserve earlier? ”

"It's coming."

Yan Xiaoyue let out an "ah" and turned her head to look at Jiang Siyan, "What?" ”

Jiang Siyan looked at Yan Xiaoyue, his eyes flashed, "It's nothing, it doesn't have much to do with us, what are you worried about?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue tilted her head and said with a smile: "What do I have to worry about?" ”

Jiang Siyan nodded and smiled. "We'll eat here at noon today, and we'll go to my grandmother's in the evening."

Yan Xiaoyue listened, and asked Quan Xiuxiu to take the clothes and step back and put on her regular clothes. Sitting on the couch with Jiang Siyan and eating breakfast, a small pot of seafood porridge made of white jade bamboo rice, a few side dishes, a plate of milky steamed buns, and a plate of jade dumplings, I feel sweet when I look at it.

"This porridge tastes so good, but what kind of rice is this?" Jiang Siyan picked up a spoonful and looked at it carefully, it was crystal clear, like a pearl.

"It's a kind of bamboo, it's extremely precious, and it's very rare."

Jiang Siyan's mind turned around slightly, and he guessed, "Is it those bamboos planted in the backyard?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue nodded, "It was found on a sparsely populated island in the South Seas, and it is said that it will take ten years to blossom and bear fruit, and I finally exchanged more than a hundred catties of bamboo rice and some bamboo roots." In the past, this bamboo was planted in Yuehuazhuang, and the last time you repaired the garden, I asked people to move it. ”

"It's so rare, no wonder it's delicious." Jiang Siyan smiled, this is not only delicious, after eating it, there is almost a cold poison lurking in his body, and he can't feel it recently.

"If you like to eat it, then I will cook it for you every day, and this stewed bird's nest also tastes very good."

Jiang Siyan nodded, "That's good." By the way, does that island lady remember the location? ”

Yan Xiaoyue raised her head and looked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Didn't you just buy more than a hundred pounds? I want people to look for it again and buy more back. ”

"Is it really that delicious? It takes so much effort to get it. ”

Jiang Siyan paused, "It's naturally good to be able to get it." ”

"There's no need to worry, when the bamboo in the backyard grows up, there will be it, and you don't need to go all the way to it, not to mention that it's still unknown whether you can find it."

Jiang Siyan stopped and asked, "How do you say that?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue saw that Jiang Siyan attached great importance to it, for fear that he would really go to the sea to find it, so she had to make it up: "That island is shrouded in sea fog all year round, and we only discovered it by accident, so we must leave after only one day, otherwise we won't be able to find a channel when the sea fog is shrouded." ”

Jiang Siyan gave up and ate breakfast attentively. (To be continued.) )
