Chapter Twenty-Seven: Searching, Who Is Behind the Scenes (1)

Li Junran didn't wait too long, and Mama Xia quietly appeared in Bai Zhi's house, followed by a little girl with buns in both ears, looking at her age, she should be slightly younger than Bai Zhi. Li Junran had never seen the little girl before, and only after getting along for a long time did she know that her mother was Mrs. Zhao in Jing Yaxuan's kitchen, nicknamed Xiang'er. It's just that Jing Yaxuan's maid has the same name of the medicine, so she changed the name of the medicine with the effect of invigorating blood and dispersing stasis and analgesia, "no (mo) medicine".

To say that this myrrh is really worthy of the ancestor is the imperial chef, the tongue is not ordinary sharp. Mama Xia just glanced at her, and myrrh picked up the broken sesame stuffed shortbread placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, tasted it, and after savoring it, she reported the raw materials one by one.

"Back to Mama's words, there are black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, walnut kernels, peanut kernels, melon seed kernels, and almonds. Brown sugar and salt are added to the seasoning...... And ......"

Myrrh paused slightly, frowned and discerned for a long time before he bent down and pleaded: "There is still a taste of me, I can't taste it." ”

Mama Xia waved her hand and asked rhetorically, "There is no lard in it?" ”

"Nope." Myrrh shook his head, quite sure.

"You're looking at the other two flavors."

"Yes." After a while, Myrrh tasted the other two flavors of shortbread, just like Li Junran had distinguished before, and no one had tampered with it.

"Go down. Remember, keep your mouth shut! ”

"Yes~" After myrrh bowed to Mama Xia, he respectfully withdrew from the room, never looking at Li Junran from beginning to end.

"You're the Seven Willows?" After Mama Xia sent the myrrh away, she turned her gaze to Li Junran who was lying on the bed.

Li Junran looked at the old face comparable to the eighteen folds of Tianjin's big buns, and instinctively thought of his grandmother in modern times. I remember when I was a child, this old lady with small feet smiled and took out two white rabbit toffee, and then successfully deceived herself to go to the dentist.

Under normal circumstances, Li Junran might still learn to do myrrh, respectfully salute Mama Xia, who is Jing Yaxuan's second-in-command, and then softly return to the sentence "Qiliu has seen Mama" or something. Can ...... now Not to mention that Li Junran is not getting out of bed at this time, just at her injured throat, as well as the awkward pronunciation that she has not yet fully mastered, she wants to speak fluently.

However, Li Junran still nodded obediently.

"Nanaliu, how do you know there's a problem here?" Li Junran looked at Mama Xia more and more, like the tiger grandma who was holding the white rabbit toffee to fool her little granddaughter in the depths of her memory.

Li Junran was entangled, because she really didn't know how to answer. Could it be that Mama Xia said that she was allergic to hemp seeds?

In fact, Mama Xia is not obsessed with knowing how Li Junran found out that there is a problem inside, in Mama Xia's opinion, finding out who did it is the most important thing at the moment. To say that this time the shortbread was delivered from the Chengfu kitchen. It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to investigate, but it is also a bit troublesome to say.

Mama Xia didn't stay in Bai Zhi's house for too long, and after comforting Li Junran a little and letting her recuperate, she hurried back to the main house of Jing Yaxuan, and it didn't take long for not only Cheng Yuyan to know about it, but even Cheng Zhang's family in the main house of the upper courtyard also knew about it. An investigation quietly unfolds around the sesame filling.

That is, in half a day, the results of the investigation came out.

"Is that her?" Cheng Yuyan didn't react much to the results of the investigation, but Cheng Zhang was very surprised. Cheng Zhangshi still said with some disbelief, "You guys are not mistaken? ”

Without waiting for Mama Zhang to answer, Cheng Zhang waved his hand. In fact, Cheng Zhang also understands that there are only mistakes and omissions here, and the possibility of being wronged is really not high.

"Madam, ...... down there," Mama Zhang asked in a whisper.

Cheng Zhangshi smiled: "It's a sesame filled shortbread every year, if you want me to say it's interesting this year." Didn't the Yao girl deliberately let people make a lot of side flavors? It's August 15 tomorrow......"

Cheng Zhang's words were not finished, but Mama Zhang, who was the number one lover, still understood. Immediately echoed: "What Madame said is very true. It's a sesame filling shortbread every year, and this year it's time to have more flavors. ”

Cheng Yuyan, who was sitting next to Cheng Zhang, was leisurely drinking tea on the side, listening to Cheng Zhang's and Mama Zhang's talk. Cheng Yuyan may not understand it in the previous life, but she can understand it after reliving.

As early as Cheng Yuyan's previous life, she knew that her mother was not a person who was not vulgar, in fact, in addition to being too upright, her mother was a good hand at managing the family. It's just that my mother lived with my maternal uncle who was born in the army in her early years, and she developed a too straightforward temperament. Compared with those intrigues, my mother-in-law prefers to fight with real knives and guns, and the big deal is to go down with a knife and two holes. But whether it is the mother's family or the grandfather's family, this family is not bad, how can the children educated by the elite of the big family not know those hidden in the dark? More is not ignorance, but disdain. If it weren't for that, her mother would not have fallen for the man, and chose the strongest silent protest - suicide to show her innocence. The result is not that the relatives are bitter and the enemies are fast, and the third aunt is cheaper in vain.

Just as Cheng Zhang and Mama Zhang were discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony the next day, the other courtyards of Cheng Mansion were not idle. Of course, if you want to say which courtyard is the busiest here, it is naturally the Yilan Garden of the third aunt.

At this moment, the third aunt was lazily leaning on the soft pillow and took a bite of the shortbread in her hand: "How can I taste the shortbread with sesame filling this year tastes better than in previous years?" Yao'er, did you let you do this? ”

Cheng Yuyao shook her head, she hates black sesame seeds the most, it's black, and she feels disgusting when she looks at it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used her brains to come up with other flavors.

"This year is different from the past, although I am still in charge of managing the Cheng Mansion now, but the one over there is always watching, trying to find your mother's fault with me." The third aunt pointed to the location of the main house in the upper courtyard, and said slowly, "Yao'er, you actually thought of a new flavor, you should have someone send some over......"

"I had the lyre sent over." Cheng Yuyao didn't wait for the third aunt to finish speaking, so she interrupted directly, "And it was sent directly to the big kitchen, two of each of the two flavors of pumpkin salted egg yolk and jujube paste and preserved fruit, let the big kitchen refer to it." After it is done, it will be sent to each hospital and room. ”

I'm not that stupid to send the finished product over there. Cheng Yuyao added silently in her heart.

"That's good." For her baby daughter to come out like this, the third aunt nodded with satisfaction. Things like eating can also go wrong, so there's nothing wrong with being careful.

"But Yao'er, even though the new flavor you want tastes good, your father's favorite thing to eat is this sesame-flavored shortbread."

"Sesame seeds are so hot and dry, Daddy can even eat it, and he is not afraid of ......" Cheng Yuyao picked up a piece of sesame stuffing five-kernel shortbread that she didn't like very much in modern times, and divided it into two, and found that the filling inside was full of genuineness, and couldn't help but sigh, or the ancients were real.

"Mother, what's in here?"

"There are no more dried nuts left, like peanut kernels, almonds, walnuts ......"

Cheng Yuyan tilted her head and tasted it carefully, she could taste every kind of third aunt reported.

"Mother, are there melon seeds and hemp seeds in it?"

"General...... Yao'er, what did you just say? The third aunt, who was still lazily lying on the soft couch, immediately sat up, and impatiently sent out the little girl who was beating her legs for her, leaving only the lily and peony, the most close confidants around her.

"Just now I asked, are there still melon seeds and hemp seeds in it?" Everyone has their own little secrets, Rao is a mother and daughter, and Cheng Yuyao didn't plan to tell her third aunt her secrets. The reason why she was so sure that there were hemp seeds in it was not that she tasted it herself, but that "someone" kindly reminded her.

Cheng Yuyao had heard of hemp seeds in modern times, and knew that the protein content of that thing was not low, and it was rich in nutrition, so it was a good thing. It's just that I didn't expect my mother to be so nervous when she heard that there were hemp seeds in it.

The third aunt took a closer look at the filling in the shortbread, and after not finding the hemp seeds her daughter said, she threw the shortbread in her hand into the plate and said, "I just came out thinking about harming people?!" ”

Cheng Yuyan blinked: "Mother, you mean ......"

"Humph! Who else but the one in the main house can drive those people in the big kitchen?! ”

The reason why the third aunt is so sure is also well-founded. There is no way, who let her even though she has been in charge of the Cheng Mansion for several years, she also worked hard to take the opportunity to install her cronies everywhere. But where is this person so easy to insert? Especially in fat shortage places such as warehouses, procurement, account rooms, and kitchens, several stewards are more shrewd than one another. So the third aunt worked hard for many years, and she successfully pried open two places, dug up a small steward who was responsible for managing medicinal materials, and brought a deputy steward who was responsible for purchasing rouge gouache for the female relatives in the house. As for the others...... I can only sigh with emotion, there is not enough time, and it is still a little bit short.

"But...... This hemp seed is not ......"

"Yao'er, what do you know?" The third aunt patiently explained to Cheng Yuyao, "This thing looks very good." But if you eat it for a long time, you can still rely on it if you can't keep it, and you won't be able to change clothes like a pleasure in the future! I really underestimated her! ”

"Mother, I don't think this thing looks like ......"

Cheng Yuyao instinctively felt that this time it was not like Cheng Zhang's handiwork, and it was possible to say that her good sister would do this. The reason why I think so is mainly an intuition. Since Cheng Zhang's family no longer spends all day in the Buddhist hall, this daily morning and dusk province has become a compulsory course. After a long period of contact, I naturally understand a little bit about Cheng Zhang's temperament.

In Cheng Yuyao's opinion, her so-called mother, Cheng Zhang, the head of the Cheng Mansion, is a very lucky person. Not to mention, just because she was reincarnated in the Zhang family, her biological mother couldn't catch up with a few horses. If it weren't for this difference in identity, it would be for her sister-in-law, who was so simple that she died......

But what if it's a concubine?

Cheng Yuyao squinted, cast her gaze on the almost transparent display in front of her, and couldn't help clenching her fists. In the future, she will definitely be able to ascend to that most glorious and honorable position, and by that time her good sister will not have to obediently prostrate at her feet?

"I'll find out tomorrow night." The third aunt exhaled and sighed, "It's a pity that I haven't been able to install more of my own people over the years." ”

In this regard, Cheng Yuyao rarely agrees with the third aunt, if she can install her own people in those key places, why can't she control the other party's every move. As a result, her mother-in-law was good, and she had been thinking about planting nails in her good sister-in-law all these years. It's a pity that people wake up after being seriously ill, and most of the original efforts have come to naught.

Wait a minute! Her sister won't...... It's a rebirth. Otherwise, it would not have changed so much in this way.

Just when Cheng Yuyao had a little more doubt in her heart, a dialog box suddenly popped up on the almost transparent display screen in front of her.

Gong Dou System: Host Touch Side Quest, please complete it by tomorrow. After completing the task, the system rewards: 1 additional attribute point. Accept: Yes/No.

Cheng Yuyao chose to accept it without hesitation. Just kidding, this broken system has been saved since she accidentally pierced into this overhead dynasty. On weekdays, except for an almost transparent display screen that always dangles in front of her, there is not even a storage function. It is only recently that some fonts have faintly appeared on the display screen, which is nothing more than a record of her current age, height and weight, these basic numbers jΓΉ, like what kind of appearance, temperament, talent, and knowledge are very pitiful single digits, or because she is too young to know.

Now there is an additional side quest. Wouldn't it be sorry for yourself if you didn't accept it?

So Cheng Yuyao chose to accept it, so she ...... Cheng Yuyao was forced to accept an investigation mission to investigate who was behind the miserable hemp seeds' sesame stuffed five-kernel shortbread.
