Chapter 488: Mung Bean Golden Cinnamon Crisp
Recently, due to the completion of Yan Yaoyang's case, Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan's temper was extremely unstable, and the palace maids and eunuchs serving in Chaoyang Hall were all in danger and did things very carefully, for fear that if they were not careful, they would touch the scales of the Son of Heaven.
As a celebrity around Zhao Yan, Jiang De naturally has his own set of experience in figuring out the sacred heart, and the daily trivial matters of Chaoyang Hall are as stable and orderly as Mount Tai. And the Tao is, the Sacred Heart is like the sky, it is impossible to be hazy all the time, there will always be a sunny day, do more and see more, talk less and talk less about the prescription is the best policy.
Jiang De, who had been waiting for a day with the face of the saint, returned to his residence with a tired look, and did not want to sit down in the soft chair just yet, so his eyes focused directly on the red lacquer food box on the table.
With his eyebrows condensed, Jiang De hurriedly called his apprentice Xiaoshun to ask.
"Junko, where did the food box on the table come from?"
"Oh, master, it was sent by the young master of the palace family this afternoon."
Young Master of the Gong Family, Gong Yihan?! Jiang De's brain turned extremely fast, and he immediately reacted to the fact that the person who delivered the food box needed people. It's just that after understanding, doubts arose in his heart again, he and Gong Yihan, the head of the palace family, had no contact with him on weekdays, why did he suddenly remember what food box to give him?
You must know that Jiang De is in the unique position of the root of the saint's ear, and if you can win him over, there will naturally be endless help. In the palace, it is indispensable to give gifts to please the minions, and even the masters of the palace also stretch out their hands from time to time, and the gifts are mostly gold, silver and jade, rare calligraphy, painting and antiques and other worships; And this time, the head of the palace family, who is rich in the world, seems to have the intention of stammering, but he just sent an inconspicuous box of food, doesn't it seem too stingy?
When I was puzzled. Tu'er Xiaoshun seemed to remember something and hurriedly added.
"By the way, Master, the young master of the Gong family specially told the apprentice to tell you. This food box gift is light and affectionate, saying that the master is a nostalgic person, and he will definitely like it. ”
Jiang De's face was stunned, and the fatigue of his whole body had faded a lot. Gong Yihan has such great ability, even his taste preferences can be found clearly? After thinking about the deep meaning of Xia Gong Yihan's words, he couldn't guess what this person was doing.
Since the other party is sure that he will like it, what does it matter to see what's strange in this food box? Jiang De who got up. walked to the table with a serious face, and opened the food box sent by Gong Yihan, but the contents of the box made his heart tremble.
Mung bean golden cinnamon crisp!
The curious Xiaoshun also glanced at it. When I saw that it was mung bean golden cinnamon cake, I was also amazed.
"It's actually the mung bean golden cinnamon cake that the master loves on weekdays, it's strange, how could the young master of this palace family know?"
Xiaoshun's words. Failed to pull Jiang De out of his deep thought. This thing is indeed as he said, reminding of the past.
People tend to ignore many things in good times, but they can remember the good things that others have done to them in bad times. Back then, the little eunuch who was bullied and hungry was taken care of by the nobles when all his thoughts were lost, and a box of mung beans and golden cinnamon crisp made him feel that there was still warmth to be found in this harem.
The grace of a meal, a lifetime of kindness, made Jiang De remember the poor woman who died of incense. I always think about her goodness. After so many years, although she is no longer there. But Jiang De still insisted on his original intention and repaid this kindness to the people she once cared about.
"Master, Master?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Shun noticed Jiang De's distraction, and couldn't help but call twice beside him.
"Master, what's wrong with you, why do you think so obsessed?"
"It's nothing, it's just a reminder of an old man."
The night was as cold as water, the breeze sent cold, Jiang De, who had recovered from the past, couldn't help but sigh, picked up a piece of mung bean golden cinnamon cake from the box, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
He was sure in his heart that in this life, he would never be able to eat the mung bean golden cinnamon cake that tasted at that time, and the taste was as precious as that kindness, which was unique in the world.
It's just that there are no absolutes in everything, when Jiang De tasted this small piece of mung bean golden cinnamon cake, a shocking ghost that burst out from his heart swept all over his body. The chewing lips and teeth gradually slowed down, and the taste spread wantonly among the taste buds, and panic bloomed on the face over and over again; The trembling hand gradually couldn't help but control, and the large half of the mung bean golden cinnamon crisp in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
The taste is back.
"Master, what's wrong with you, is there anything wrong with this mung bean golden cinnamon cake? Don't scare Junko! ”
Xiaoshun, who noticed Jiang De's strange appearance, immediately stepped forward to check this box of mung bean golden cinnamon crisps, but he didn't want to be stopped by Jiang De in one gulp.
"Don't touch it!"
In an instant, Jiang De brushed away Xiao Shun's stiff hand on the side of the food box, and in a panic, he picked up another piece of mung bean golden cinnamon cake from the food box, broke it in half, and the candied fruit inside was revealed in front of him.
It's dates and walnut kernels, yes! Suddenly, an unconcealable excitement swept through Jiang De's eyes, and those anxious eyes moistened a lot inexplicably.
It's her, it's her craft, the taste of memory, he won't forget! As if he got some big signal, Jiang De threw down the mung bean golden cinnamon cake in his hand, and hurriedly asked Xiaoshun in the clouds next to him.
"What else did the young master of the Gong family say, what else?"
With the leaves swaying in the storm, Xiaoshun just kept shaking his head, as if he couldn't think of anything strange.
"Impossible, think about it well, you can't miss a word of what he said to you. Think! ”
"It's really gone, Master, it's just some kind of words."
Xiao Shun replied with a stiff face, his brain was about to turn into a mess, since following Jiang De, when had he ever seen Jiang De look so messy?
"Think about it, this matter is very important to the miscellaneous family!"
The anger in his heart increased instead of decreasing, Jiang De clasped Xiaoshun's thin shoulders and asked.
"It's nothing special, it's just that the young master of the Gong family said before leaving: If the master likes it, you can send it again at any time."
Can I send it back at any time?! The meaning of these words, after repeated deliberation in Jiang De's heart, gradually understood the hidden meaning of Gong Yihan.
What does it mean that this taste, which can never be eaten again, can now be tasted from time to time? The hand that was clasped on Xiao Shun's shoulder gradually sagging, Jiang De gasped for breath, and a laugh erupted inexplicably from his mouth, and the color of joy stained his slightly pale face like spring returning to the earth.
Niangniang, you are still alive, you are still alive, you really haven't forgotten Xiao Dezi! The tears of joy hidden in his eyes unconsciously rolled out of his eyes, so frightened that Xiao Shun's soul did not possess his body, and he hurriedly knelt down to comfort him.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
But Jiang De's smile on the corner of his lips became more and more prosperous and thicker, and then evolved into a burst of uncontrollable laughter, which made Xiao Shun more and more worried.
If it weren't for the palace ban in the middle of the night, I'm afraid that Jiang De would go to the palace overnight to visit this benefactor who has not been seen for many years. As soon as the laughter ended, Jiang De cautiously ordered Xiaoshun.
"Shunzi, tomorrow the emperor will be on your side, and the master will go out of the palace!" (To be continued......)
