Chapter 198: Re-entering the Palace
Mu Jinrou was not ignorant of ancient etiquette, and frowned and asked, "Is my brother saying 'except for the ceremony'?" ”
In addition to the service ceremony, which is also the third anniversary festival, this is a very important sacrificial ceremony. At that time, relatives and friends will come, there will be no shortage of wine banquets, and drum music will also be played. After the sacrifice is over, you can get rid of the mourning clothes and change them into auspicious clothes. In other words, the men's worries are over, and whether they will be reinstated depends on their respective means.
After thinking of this, Mu Jinrou looked at her brother again and found that his brows were lightly locked, and his expression was not relaxed at all.
"Brother, are you saying that the Hu clan will use this ceremony to make a fuss?" Mu Jinrou immediately thought of the idea.
Mu Bowen gently touched her head and said, "My sister has really grown up, I'm afraid that the Hu family will use this festival to make us ugly, so that we can be driven out of the clan at that time." ”
"Don't think!" Mu Jinrou gritted her teeth and said: "I can't let my mother stay in Andingbo Mansion alone, and I can't let the Hu family succeed." ”
When she said this, she had endless resentment in her heart, which showed that the feelings of the original body were still there.
Mu Bowen also sighed, hula hula and ate the noodles, and only said, "Well, this noodle is really good." It's both chewy and delicious, and I think my little sister can go to open a noodle restaurant. ”
Mu Jinrou said with a smile: "No, but we can sell noodles specifically." ”
Another way to make money comes to mind, and there should be no good noodles to sell in this era.
Mu Bowen finally said: "Don't worry, everything has me, anyway, you women can't go during the sacrifice." It's just that there are still many relatives and friends in the house, and it will be a chaotic day. You have to protect yourself. ”
Mu Jinrou said seriously: "Brother, please rest assured, my sister will not drag my brother back." It's just that brother, the Hu clan wants to expel us from the clan. This is not something that will allow them to succeed. ”
Mu Bowen said: "I know, fortunately, my aunt took over the marriage of our brother and sister, otherwise, this day would really not be possible." ”
Speaking of marriage, Mu Jinrou's eyes were shining, and he smiled: "Brother, do you remember Luo Erniang?" Sister Luo. She's a good girl, and she's been away from the capital these days, thanks to her for helping me. You're back now. I have to thank my sister for her. ”
Mu Bowen didn't understand the meaning of her words, his cold eyes were covered with a hint of warmth, and he couldn't help pinching Mu Jinrou's little nose, "Got it." Whoever owes the favor will be said together. Brother help you pay it back! ”
"Hey, hey!" Mu Jinrou was finally happy. It's really nice to have such a brother, anyway, when she didn't wear it, why was the owner of this body afraid of him? In fact, Mu Bowen is still a very responsible person.
Look at how domineering you are, "Say the kindness you owe to whom, and my brother will help you pay it back!" Mu Jinrou only said Li Yi and Bai Forsythia, these two people really helped her a lot.
Who knew that Mu Bowen said: "Li Yi." You're welcome. If you have something to do in the future, you will find this guy, who will let him take care of everything. What's going on with that white forsythia. Tell me about it. ”
Mu Jinrou spoke in detail.
Mu Bowen pondered for a moment and said, "It turned out to be the eldest daughter of Mrs. Luo's mother's family." ”
"Brother, you seem to be very familiar with Sister Luo." Mu Jinrou didn't know much about the Luo family, and Mrs. Dong and Luo Erniang didn't specifically explain it to her.
Mu Bowen smiled: "Well, it was mentioned to me when my mother was still alive. Then I found them, and I could help them if I could. In the end, what happened to their Luo family is related to our grandfather's family, and it doesn't matter who has affected whom, they are all victims. ”
Mu Jinrou frowned, "Brother, do you want to tell me these things?" I think I can help too. ”
"No!" Mu Bowen shook his head, "The less people know about this, the better, and I will tell you when the time comes." ”
The brother and sister talked a lot, and Mu Jinrou also received a large box from Mu Bowen's little servants, Sanxian and Siping, which were all trinkets and other fun items he bought in Guangxi and along the way.
Mu Jinrou couldn't close his mouth, if these were converted into silver, it would definitely be a lot of money, so he thanked him happily.
After the two talked for a long time, Mu Jinrou remembered that Concubine Mu was coming, and after another explanation, she asked, "Brother, do you say that Concubine Mu has something to ask us?" ”
Mu Bowen didn't know anything about Concubine Mu, and thought about it: "I think so." Grandfather's big sacrifice is coming, maybe Concubine Mu will ask you to enter the palace once. I'll write a letter later, and you can bring it to the concubine. ”
"Good!" Mu Jinrou agreed, "Brother must also be fully prepared." I have a forsythia sister who deserves a universal antidote, as long as you pay attention, you won't be afraid. It's just that my brother has to guard against that Mu Boyuan, he is ruthless, like a wolf. ”
"Don't worry! No one can compare to me in my understanding of Mu Boyuan. If they want to make trouble, don't blame me for throwing out bad news for them, the whereabouts of the bad nurse next to my mother are already known. Mu Bowen said with great confidence.
Mu Jinrou's eyes widened, "Really? Does that brother remember where we were locked up in the country? I'm not impressed. ”
Mu Bowen said: "It's normal to not be impressed, and there is no impression in my brother's memory. Back then, they only locked us in a small farm yard and didn't go out for two years, so how do you know where it is? However, I have found out that this matter is also related to my mother's nurse. ”
"In other words, as long as you find that bad nurse, all of this can be solved?" Mu Jinrou was very smart and grasped the point at once.
"Yes!" Mu Bowen said with a smile.
Mu Jinrou immediately waved her little fist and said, "Come on, brother, bring down the Hu family, I want to be a full-time rice worm!" ”
Mu Bowen was confused when he heard this, "Come on? Full-time rice worms? What is it. ”
"Huh! Hehe! Mu Jinrou smiled dryly, what else could she say, only to laugh dryly to hide the embarrassment of talking nonsense.
After the brother and sister met in a hurry today, Mu Jinrou couldn't see Mu Bowen for several days, although they lived in the same mansion, it seemed that it was not easy to meet.
Then Mu Jinrou began to get bored again, competing with the rainbow series of noodles all day long. What cat ear noodles and butterfly noodles are made, but the hollow noodles are not easy to get. She asked Xiao Lu to make a simple dough sheeter.
In modern times, this kind of small noodle sheeter for home use is very common, which can make various types of noodles, and Mu Jinrou has also used it, and the structure inside is also simple. She drew a bunch of parts and then drew the appearance of the noodles for Xiao Lu to try, but she didn't have much hope that she could make it.
But when Xiao Lu took her words, it was a holy decree, and she thought of ideas day and night. Make a model. He was a silversmith, and he was also ingenious, but fortunately there was no shortage of silver in the silver building. When he had nothing to do, he took a small hammer and struck it, and practiced with silver.
What about Mu Jinrou? I'm still planning her pastry plans, but the manual ramen is still slow no matter what.
Five days later, Xiao Lu finally finished the finished product. but made of silver. That's a lot of money.
Xue Zhu handed over the finished product to Mu Jinrou as soon as possible.
When Mu Jinrou saw the long-lost noodle machine, the whole person was stunned, "This, this is made by Xiao Lu?" ”
She didn't expect Xiao Lu's hand to be so skillful, although this thing is not big, but it is very beautiful, it can be seen that Xiao Lu is carving this thing as jewelry.
On second thought, too. In this era, there is no plastic, and only silver is easy to knock around. But it's really good. It's just that the hardness of silver is not high, and it is really not as good as plastic when used to make noodle machines. But it has taken shape, and this is not far from success.
Mu Jinrou tried it with this small machine, and the noodles made were really not good, and it could be said that they were terrible. After cleaning, she asked Xiao Lu to make one out of fine iron.
Before the new noodle machine was ready, Mu Jinrou waited for Concubine Mu to announce her entry into the palace.
It is rumored that it is Xiao Dengzi next to Princess Ruyu, and the two are old acquaintances, and they are not polite at all when they meet. After saying the polite words, Mu Jinrou instructed the kitchen to make a bowl of unique rainbow noodles for him to taste.
The beautiful colors frightened Xiao Deng Zi for a moment, "Fourth girl, is this your new idea to eat?" It's so pretty! ”
Mu Jinrou said with a smile: "Little Dengzi, let me tell you, this is very easy to do, I have many types of noodles here." When I finish the machine, I'll give the first one to Princess Ruyu to make sure that the noodles she makes are even more beautiful than this one. ”
Xiao Dengzi has also been deeply influenced by Mu Jinrou for more than half a year, and has a tendency to develop into foodies, and said happily when he heard this: "Four girls hurry up and do it, our princess must like it." ”
Mu Jinrou took the opportunity to say: "Little Dengzi, please eat noodles first, I may not see the concubine for a long time, I want to send some noodles made by myself, I don't know if it's feasible?" ”
"Why not? The four girls went to clean up. I'll eat noodles first, eat noodles! Xiao Dengzi smiled and poured the toppings on one side directly into the noodles.
This topping is carefully prepared by Mama Li, in order not to affect the beauty of the noodles, it is first served in another bowl, if the eater likes it, it is really poured in.
Mu Jinrou returned to the kitchen and carefully wrapped the noodles of several colors that had already been made into several rolls, and used mulberry paper specially wrapped for medicinal purposes. The outside of this paper is also painted with a beautiful rainbow pattern, and the words "foodie zhai" are written.
Looking at the seven bundles of dried noodles of different colors, as well as a few packs of butterfly noodles and cat ear noodles, Mu Jinrou suddenly prepared another one more in case of emergency. Fortunately, these noodles are not very large, and they are filled with a small bamboo basket.
Under the instructions of Mrs. Dong, Mu Jinrou took the bamboo basket, lotus flowers, and snow bamboo to the palace with no good memories again.
got out of the carriage, accompanied by Xiao Dengzi, and the bamboo basket was also checked before being released.
Coincidentally, when I was parting from Xiao Dengzi, I happened to meet Princess Ruyu walking here with two attendants.
Mu Jinrou and Princess Ruyu have also disappeared for a while, this once chubby princess seems to have grown up all of a sudden after the New Year, learning all kinds of knowledge every day, and the baby's fat face is much smaller.
"Mu Si, you're here." Princess Ruyu ran over first.
Mu Jinrou hurriedly saluted her, this is in the palace, and the ceremony cannot be abolished.
Princess Ruyu stopped with a smile, she was praised by her father a lot during this time, which was all due to Mu Jinrou. Seeing Mu Jinrou carrying a small bamboo basket, she asked, "What is this?" It won't be food. ”
As soon as she said that she was eating, Princess Ruyu's eyes lit up.
Mu Jinrou actually didn't want to give the food to Princess Ruyu, God knows how many people's hands these noodles would go through on the way to cooking, and whether it would be good to serve Princess Ruyu's noodles in the end.
"This one...... Hehe! Mu Jinrou wanted to smirk and pass the test, "It's a little hand-rolled dough that I made myself, and I want to give Concubine Mu a taste." The princess also knew that I was poor, so she would make something to eat. Hehe! ”
Princess Ruyu also knows some rules in the palace, it is difficult to enter from outside to eat, if something else happens, the person who brings in is the first suspect.
"Understood, understood!" Princess Ruyu said generously.
But Su Ru, who was beside her, snorted: "Mu Si, you are too bold, you actually brought food in." And don't give the princess a copy, have you forgotten how much the princess used to take care of you? ”
Mu Jinrou frowned deeply, is this girl afraid that the world will not be chaotic?
"Ahem!" Princess Ruyu coughed twice, directly ignored Su Ru's words, and said, "I haven't seen Concubine Mu for a long time, let's go together." ”
Xiao Dengzi led the way in front, and Mu Jinrou followed Princess Ruyu to the side hall.
Su Ru stood aside with an ugly face, hating Mu Jinrou so much that she was hated by the princess again because of this little slut.
The other attendant is Queen Song's own family, and it stands to reason that she is Princess Ruyu's cousin, named Song Xuening. She glanced at Su Ru, who thought she was smart, and sneered: "Your family didn't tell you, do you want to see more and talk less in the palace?" ”
"You ......." Su Ru didn't dare to get angry with Song Xuening, so her hatred for Mu Jinrou was even more layered.
Mu Jinrou really doesn't know why Su Ru always goes against her, is it really Mu Jinsheng's charm that makes her so obedient? couldn't figure it out, so Mu Jinrou habitually threw it aside.
She was walking on the side hall, but the road was not very long from the last time she came.
Last time it was winter, and apart from the red lanterns hanging on to see, the branches were bare.
But at this time, these trees are also blooming, or they are luxuriant and cover a large area of shade. The cool breeze and the fragrance of flowers are bursting, and Mu Jinrou feels that the palace is also very beautiful.
Obviously, after turning a corner, it was a side hall, but at the corner, he met Xia Houyan who was dressed in moon white clothes.
He didn't seem surprised to see Mu Jinrou, and without waiting for Mu Jinrou to salute, he said with a smile: "I don't know what Miss Mu has made to eat?" ”
Mu Jinrou was very surprised, how did this person know?
Princess Ruyu stepped forward and hugged Xia Houyan's arm and said, "Second Emperor Brother, do you want to go to Concubine Mu to eat together." ”
Xia Houyan didn't answer directly, but looked at Mu Jinrou and said, "I don't know if Miss Mu is welcome?" (To be continued.) )
