Chapter 1 O 4 Encounter in the Pear Garden
Even if Lai's position is as high as Zhaoyi, how can she commit that heinous crime, even if she dies miserably, she will not be able to live in peace after death, not to mention that Zheng Guifei personally ordered her to confess in the court prison for a month. Now that the deadline has not yet arrived, he committed suicide in fear of crime, so he has defied Zheng Guifei's decree, and the crime plus one degree is punished for several crimes, and there is not even a place to live after death, but the inner servants of the court prison hastily rolled a straw mat, and even a coffin was not prepared for her and thrown it in the mass grave at will.
If you don't have the scenery in your life, if you don't keep this scenery to the end, I'm afraid that you will end up dead. For Lai's fate, as far as Qin Shujiu is concerned, it is all she deserves, but it is just a few years late, and now she has only received retribution, and the blessings she has enjoyed for more than ten years in vain can be regarded as her fate.
Lai's matter is all handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as for this harem, because the recent unjust death has been a little boiling, but Zheng Guifei personally decreed that the harem should not talk about Lai's affairs again, since Zheng Guifei said it herself, she should not dare to talk about it, and now Lai's death has made everyone pressed to the bottom of their hearts, even in private, no one dares to talk about it on the door.
In this way, a month passed peacefully, without Lai's accidental summons, Qin Shujiu no longer had to be afraid of asking someone to reveal his identity, and he was quite clear. Recently, I have often been edicted to go to Yanying Hall to accompany Liqing to play chess, Qin Shujiu is proficient in everything, if Liqing accidentally has what kind of temperament, she can accompany Liqing to talk, to Liqing cherishes her more and more, and she is also spoiled on the tip of her heart.
This summer is also in the past, and even the lotus flowers in the pond are also thankful. Although there is no summer heat, the tiger in this autumn is also fierce, and it is cool in the morning and evening, but it is still a little burning in the afternoon, and it occasionally makes people lazy and unwilling to move. is lazy and wants to lie still, but staying in the palace all day is not a thing, Xu feels that Qin Shujiu is in the palace all day long for fear that she will be stuffy, and the curtain is looking for a way to lure Qin Shujiu out of the palace. It's also that this girl has a lot of things to do and has a delicate heart, and she persuaded her, even if Qin Shujiu has no mind, she will be persuaded to be interested.
Under the curtain of "autumn scenery fruits", Qin Shujiu also aroused her interest. In the end, I couldn't help but persuade her. Out of the palace gate and went to the pear orchard. Now that it has entered autumn, the orchard is also fruitful, and I have entered the pear orchard casually, and the branches have been hung with pear fruits. Looking at it, there are many goose pineapples in the green, but it also makes people want to eat. It's just looking at the Sydney pear hanging from the branches. Seeing that he was happy, he ordered the attendant to come forward and pick one for himself.
The life of the beauty should be carried out. When he went up the tree a few times before, and then picked the full pear, and then went down the tree to find the lake and cleaned it a little, then he was served to Qin Shujiu. Reaching out and taking a bite, the juice is so sweet that it is refreshing and crispy. At that moment, he nodded with a full heart, and Qin Shujiu said: "This fruit is crispy and refreshing, but it's good, and a few people will pick some for Your Majesty in a while." ”
"Whoa."
Qin Shujiu Fang instructed the attendants to respond in unison, and then sent a few people to choose the pear tree that Qin Shujiu praised sweetly, and went up to the tree to pick fruits and prepare them for Liqing to send for a while.
The palace always feels a little bored, but out of the palace gate into this orchard is also a lot more refreshing, is scattered everywhere is also a little boring, it is the time to meet Wang Meiren and Chen Shuyi. Wang Meiren also looked at the dull weather and thought about going out for a walk, and she was also distracted, as for Chen Shuyi, she picked the pear fruit in the forest, and it seems that this pear fruit can also be used in medicine.
When they met in this forest and then bowed to each other, Wang Meiren said with a smile: "I just thought it was a coincidence, I met Sister Meng in this pear orchard, I never thought that I didn't say a few words to Sister Dream just after saying it, but I met my fair lady again, it was really a coincidence." After finishing speaking, Qin Shujiu smiled, and then said: "Yes, I didn't want to go out, I always felt that this day was still a little stuffy, but the girl in my palace always thought that I was afraid that I would be bored in the palace, so she asked me to go out for a walk." It's also because of that girl that she met two sisters in the garden. ”
Needless to say, Chen Shuyi's temperament is self-sufficient, and Wang Meiren's temperament is also good, and when she meets her in this pear orchard, she can talk, and Qin Shujiu will not feel bored. However, these two people are also good temperaments, and they chatted by chance, and when they talked, they looked at the empty basket in the hands of the palace attendants behind Chen Shuyi, and Qin Shujiu also asked.
"Sister Meng, what are you looking for in the garden?" Asked Qin Shujiu to ask like this, she followed her line of sight and looked at the empty basket behind Ke Ran, Chen Shuyi replied: "Now that it is autumn, I always feel that the weather is a little dry and stuffy, and people also feel that their mouth is dry and coughing lightly, so I am thinking about leading the palace people to the pear orchard to pick a few fresh fruits and go back to the palace to boil some sugar and pear soup, which is also to eliminate the irritability of this dry heat." ”
Chen Shuyi's words fell, Qin Shujiu nodded, and answered softly; "I see." And Wang Meiren on the side also said: "Sugar pear soup? It is said that this pear mixed with sugar water to boil the soup is the most to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, nourish the stomach and nourish the body, can moisten the dryness and clear the heat, but it is the best food and drink. It's just that Sister Meng has this aspect of her mind, and she is destined to serve the province and send it to her sister's palace, so how can she go out of the palace to pick this pear orchard by herself. After asking, he looked at Chen Shuyi, and Chen Shuyi replied softly.
"Although it is ordered to send fresh pears to the province, but I have always liked to do everything myself, and I want to boil the sugar pear soup, this pear is still the most intimate to find by myself, otherwise the province of the province will send it if it is not in line with the mind, and it will make people run in vain. Moreover, the pear orchard in this autumn is also cool and cool, and it is a little boring to stay in the palace all day, so it is better to go to the pear orchard, one is to find the pear fruit you like, and the other is to be good to scatter your heart. ”
Chen Shuyi is a person who likes to do everything herself, as long as she can experience it herself, she rarely lets the palace attendants under her do it, and picking pears in this pear orchard is not an extremely difficult thing, so she will do it herself. It is also such a temperament that makes people feel easy to get along with, Qin Shujiu also laughed at the moment, and only after laughing did he mention that he had just picked some in the garden, and now he saw that Chen Shuyi needed fresh pears to boil sugar pear soup and said: "Speaking of the pears in this pear orchard." My sister tasted a plant just now, and the taste was excellent, because it was refreshing, I asked the waiter to pick some, why don't you try it? ”
After speaking, he glanced at the curtain behind him, and after the curtain came to Chen Shuyi with a bamboo basket, he bowed and saluted, and Chen Shuyi reached out and took a pear from the basket. did not taste it in the mouth but held it in the nose and sniffed it slightly, the unique fruity aroma of fresh pears instantly rushed into the nose, that is, after smelling it, Chen Shuyi said: "This pear fruit is the best, I don't know where my sister picked it, I also asked the palace people to find that one and pick some back." ”
"If my sister thinks these fresh pears are excellent, my sister will give them to my sister. It's ready to go anyway. Why bother my sister's subordinates for a trip. ”
"But ......"
After all, this is Qin Shujiu's income, saying that it is a gift, and Chen Shuyi doesn't know whether to accept it or not, when he sees Chen Shuyi's hesitant state, Qin Shujiu smiled and said: "This fruit is fresh, isn't my sister suspicious?" ”
"What are you talking about, sister? I just thought that my sister was ordered to be picked by the palace people, and I wanted to pick it in the palace because of joy. I don't want to take away my sister's goodness. How did it make my sister more hearty. I think it's my sister who thinks it's disgusting, this Sydney knows it's the best grade just by smelling it, how can I dislike it? ”
is also afraid of Qin Shujiu, Chen Shuyi is busy explaining. Qin Shujiu smiled lightly: "It's just some pears, there are so many in this garden, how can there be anything that can't be taken away." If my sister likes it, I will ask the palace people to pick it, anyway, this fruit is also found by my sister, and I understand that one in my heart. After saying this, even Wang Meiren on the side smiled and said: "My fair beauties are right, even if Sister Dream wants to boil that sugar pear soup, this Sydney pear is also owed, and the rare top grade is also a kindness of my fair beauty." ”
Since even Wang Meiren said this, Chen Shuyi finally accepted it, and ordered Ke Ran to take the bamboo basket in the curtain's hand, Chen Shuyi then said: "I am also about to boil some sugar pear soup in the autumn when it is boring, if the two sisters don't dislike it, why don't you move to me, but also try my craftsmanship?" ”
I just heard that Chen Shuyi said that she wanted to boil sugar pear soup, Wang Meiren was a little interesting in her heart, and now that Chen Shuyi opened her mouth, she nodded when she arrived. Qin Shujiu also happened to have nothing to do, and the sugar pear soup had the effect of moistening the lungs and clearing heat, so it should be done now.
followed Meng Jieyu to the Star Palace, because there is no master in this palace, but it is also quiet, Xu is because he knows that Chen Shuyi does not like to be noisy, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs arranged the dormitory to follow her temperament and give her such a quiet place, which can be regarded as a special leniency for the queen's nephew.
Naturally, there is only Chen Shuyi in the palace without a master, and she is the only one, so everything is casual. Because Chen Shuyi likes perfume and all kinds of flowers, there are also a lot of herbs and lovely flowers planted in the palace, some of which can be seen as famous, but there are many that have never been seen. In the garden of this Star Palace, I also saw the poppy, the Xu family wanted to use it to harm his life, but fortunately, Chen Shuyi said first that she also avoided the catastrophe, and now when I see this poppy again, I feel a little unclear in my heart.
There are also many flowers in this palace, it is strange to see that it is novel, the flowers are fragrant and heavy, and some are worried that the fragrance in this palace will be too heavy to make people dizzy after smelling it, but they did not expect that the fragrance under the flowers is not mixed, but I don't know what kind of fragrant intoxication is suppressed.
When I entered the dormitory, I smelled the drunken fragrance rushing in my face, and after sniffing lightly, Wang Meiren couldn't help but praise: "Sister Meng, there are rare things hidden in this palace, and the smell of the fragrance is a little intoxicating." After praising it, I couldn't help but look at it again, and sniffed deeply.
Seeing Wang Meiren's appearance, she knew that she really liked Chen Shuyi's drunken fragrance in the palace, and Chen Shuyi smiled at the moment: "What kind of rare thing is just some spices that I have nothing to do." ”
"My sister's own spices." I was also surprised, and then I was delighted, Wang Meiren said: "It is rumored in the palace that my sister is a skillful person, and now it seems that it is not false, and she can mix this immortal-like intoxicating aroma, and my sister is really not a layman such as me." ”
Wang Meiren's words are not over, the spices burned in Chen Shuyi's palace are indeed intoxicating, light but not faint, soft and with a hint of sweetness, but it is much better than the burning in the palace of Concubine Zheng, and even with Qin Shujiu, I feel a little drunk. Wang Meiren's praise also made Chen Shuyi happy, and immediately smiled, Chen Shuyi said: "It seems that my sister really likes this spice, it stands to reason that my sister loves my sister and should give some to my sister, but unfortunately it is tight, this spice is also the day before yesterday I tried to prepare it and did not prepare much, but I can't give it to my sister." ”
After saying that, she owed herself and apologized, but such an apology made Wang Meiren a little panicked. Although Wang Meiren is the most fragrant, but it is not the kind of person who likes to take the favor of others, when he was in a hurry, he hurriedly said: "My sister praises my sister's spice without asking for it, if it is a trial production, it will not be used, so as not to make my sister bother and make my sister feel uncomfortable." ”
I was afraid that Chen Shuyi mistakenly thought that she was begging for it, Wang Meiren was busy explaining, but Chen Shuyi replied with a smile: "It's not bothering to bother, this new product is to be tried, if the fragrance is pleasant, it will be continued, I was worried that this fragrance would be too drunk, I didn't expect my sister to be happy, since my sister likes to want to come to this spice is also fate." If Sister Wang doesn't dislike it, wait for the necessary things to be ready in a few days, and after I make it, I will send the palace people to send it to my sister. ”
Chen Shuyi had already spoken, and Wang Meiren also rarely smelled an indifferent fragrance, so she thanked her immediately. After giving it to Wang Meiren, he thought that he couldn't forget Qin Shujiu, so he also asked by the way, but Qin Shujiu didn't like the burning in the palace, and he thanked Chen Shuyi for his kindness. If you don't like it, you don't want to accept it, so she ordered the palace people to serve them well, and then Chen Shuyi led Ke Ran to retreat into the back hall kitchen with the Sydney pear given by Qin Shujiu.
Boiling sugar pear soup is not a fine job, but it is pitted, peeled, and sweetened, boiled and boiled over a large fire, and then slowly boiled over a low fire, but the sugar pear soup was boiled in three quarters of an hour. When Chen Shuyi was boiling in the small kitchen in the back hall, they also stopped by the palace to admire the ink treasures painted by Chen Shuyi in his leisure time, and they didn't feel how long the time had passed, Chen Shuyi stepped into the dormitory, followed by Keran, holding a tray in his hand, and on the tray were three white porcelain bowls.
The white porcelain is also transparent, white and clean to see, especially the sugar pear soup in the bowl, the yellow with a silk white, several pieces of pear slices of the same size float on the soup surface, especially the stars that float on the soup surface for embellishment, but it makes people feel moist and moist at a glance. When she saw Chen Shuyi entering, Wang Meiren did not look vain but went up, and when she was about to salute, she asked Chen Shuyi to stop her, and then said.
"My sister is not a false courtesy, this sugar pear soup has been boiled, can my sister taste it?" After speaking, Ke Ran had already placed the white porcelain end on the table and stepped aside. Chen Shuyi had already come back, and Qin Shujiu was not good to wait aside, so he sat down, looked at the sugar pear soup in front of him, and then thanked him lightly, then took a jade spoon and scooped it and tasted it.
The sugar pear soup tastes sweet, sweet but not greasy, but the taste is excellent, that is, I have tasted a mouthful of fine products, and when I was about to speak, I suddenly saw that Wang Meiren on the side had covered her face, and she was disgusted. It's just that after tasting a bite, it was disgusting, and Chen Shuyi was shocked at the moment, so he was busy getting up and then went to Wang Mei's side to support him, and Chen Shuyi's heart was also shocked.
