Chapter 453: The Concubine Niangniang
There were four or five decent plates scattered on the wide round table, and six people sat around the table, which was really a simple dish in Yu Shu's opinion, but it was just sent by the waiter sent by the noble people of Zhan.
"When I went out, my father also told me that I would sleep on an empty stomach this night, and when I entered Huazhen Garden as we did, there were few people to serve, and it was difficult to eat a hot meal, but fortunately there was Xue Yuan, I proposed, let's replace the wine with tea and toast her."
Cui Yun picked up the teacup in front of her, raised it towards Zhan Xueyuan with a smile, and looked around at the rest of the people, her eyes motioning for everyone to raise a glass with her.
"Uh-huh, Miss Jing Zhan."
Feng Jun and the other teenager hurriedly agreed, Wen Shaoan looked at them, frowned slightly, and also picked up the teacup and put it on his chest reservedly.
However, Zhan Xueyuan pressed the teacup on the table and didn't move, his eyes fell on Yu Shu, who was motionless on the other side, as if he was comparing patience, Yu Shu didn't move, and she didn't move.
Seeing this, the other people turned their gazes to Yu Shu together.
Yu Shu lazily picked up the cup, didn't wait for the corners of Zhan Xueyuan's mouth to rise, and brought it to his mouth, took a sip of it by himself, and saw that a certain woman's face was stinky, and secretly laughed: I want to drink the tea from my aunt and grandmother after a few dishes, and the little fart child dreams about it.
Zhan Xueyuan was a little annoyed by Yu Shu's faceless behavior, and snorted lightly.
Cui Yun looked at this, looked at that, smiled and picked up chopsticks to play round: "Let's eat quickly, I've been hungry for a long time, hey, this tofu is really good, Xue Yuan, you taste it first." β
Zhan Xueyuan was really hungry, looked at the dishes that Cui Yun had sandwiched into her bowl, and then glanced at Yu Shu, who was drinking tea slowly, lowered her head and tasted it, and pretended to greet a few people with relish:
"Well, although it is not more delicate than the dishes at home, but there is a unique taste in the mountains, Yunyun, Sun Gongzi, Wen Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi, and move it, don't wait for the food to be cold, there is no cooking fire in this yard, and no one will make a supper when you are hungry in the middle of the night."
She greeted around, but missed Yu Shu, thinking: If Yu Shu also moves chopsticks at this time, it will inevitably attract people to look down on, but if she has the backbone to leave, just wait for the hungry stomach until dawn.
It's just that she didn't expect that Yu Shu didn't start to eat these dishes, nor did she leave in a bad mood, but sat there loudly, refilled herself after drinking tea, and watched them eat very calmly.
ββ
Being stared at by her like this, on the contrary, a few of them were uncomfortable, Zhan Xueyuan had never seen such a brazen person, gritted his teeth and waited to say something-
"Gollum Gurr."
A very rhythmic sound of hunger sounded, and everyone who was eating was stunned, this one looked up at that, and the most unanimous eyes fell on Yu Shu.
What do you see, it's what's wrong with her stomach, Yu Shu scolded in her heart, and her face couldn't hold it a little bit.
Zhan Xueyuan sneered and said, "I thought Yu Operator wasn't hungry." β
At this moment, someone came to the door.
"Here, hey, why have you already eaten it?"
A few people at the table turned their faces, only to see a eunuch wearing a round hat and a flower silk soap armor, talking to himself while pulling his robe and walking in, followed by a small eunuch, carrying a multi-treasure food box in his hand.
"A few little boys, young ladies, and the maids sent some food." The eunuch in the flower dress looked at the six young people on the table with a smile, recognized the faces, and beckoned the little eunuch to bring the food box to the table, but saw him open the lid and end it layer by layer, while also crisply reporting the name of the dish-
"Pickled golden eel, puff pastry fragrant goose slices, shengsun dressed as three treasures, hanging pot stewed pig skin, jade tofu brain, lotus cashew nut kernel, and finally this Bailing fresh fish soup."
Eight hundred mountain delicacies and game are placed in a blue and white porcelain, a soup with a silver spoon, a drawer of snow-white steamed buns, and a dish plate is placed along the table, hot and fragrant, squeezing the original four dishes and one soup into the middle, pitiful.
"Goodong", I don't know how many people swallowed their saliva secretly, and Yu Shu was no exception, hungry and wanted to scratch the wall.
Cui Yun bumped Cui Xueyuan with her elbow, winked at her and said, "Niangniang treats you so well, you have sent a few more hot dishes so quickly, where can we finish eating." β
When the eunuch in the flower clothes entered the door, he called him "Niangniang", and several people present heard it, and after Cui Yun said this, he thought that it was Zhan Guiren who added food to them, and the eyes that looked at Zhan Xueyuan suddenly became a little more enthusiastic.
This made Zhan Xueyuan, who was still a little puzzled just now, couldn't help but be proud again, glanced at Yu Shu, not without showing off, pursed his lips and smiled politely to the eunuch:
"I'm tired of this father-in-law for a trip, and I ask you to treat the little girl and thank her mother."
The eunuch in the flower dress glanced at her, ignored it, and took out the silver tin wine jug in the last layer from the food box in the little eunuch's hand, and only pinched a delicate small wine glass in the shape of a plum blossom, and placed it beside one person, bending down and saying kindly:
"This is the 100-year-old wine rewarded by the concubine Niangniang, the heart is clear and the lungs are moistened, Miss Yu drinks two glasses less, and she will rest early tonight, don't miss tomorrow's business."
Concubine Niangniang!?
Hearing this, several people were shocked, Zhan Xueyuan stiffened with a smile, stared at the wine jug placed in Yu Shu's hand, no matter how stupid she was, she understood that she was making her own feelings, and her face turned red quickly, and she wanted to bury her head in her chest in embarrassment.
And Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, and when his eyes flowed, he knew the reason, and immediately felt a burst of sweetness and sourness in his heart-
I'm afraid I can't find a second considerate person in this world who cares so much about her.
The four concubines in the palace, who can call "Guifei Niangniang", who else except Xue Guifei, she has nothing to do with Xue Guifei's eight poles, it is not Xue Rui who dots in the middle, where did she come from such a big faceplate.
"Thank you for the grace of the concubine," Yu Shu moved his chair and stood up, arching his hand towards the eunuch in the flower clothes, "I'll send you out." β
Ignoring the few people who became mute on the table, Yu Shu sent people out of the door, walked into the courtyard, and took the opportunity to ask:
"I don't know my father-in-law's name?"
"Don't dare, Miss Yu just calls Father-in-law Qiu."
"The girl doesn't work to send it, let's go back, the miscellaneous family has already explained the kitchen, and from tomorrow onwards, I will come to deliver food to the girl on time, so you don't have to squeeze the table with others."
Yu Shu thanked him again, touched his hand into the cuffs, took out the 100 taels of silver tickets that he had previously needed in case of emergency, and handed them over.
"In the future, I will be taken care of by my father-in-law."
Father-in-law Qiu smiled in his eyes, but he didn't refuse, he accepted the thin silver ticket, and the little eunuch saw it sharply, and he didn't say anything at this time, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard and saw Yu Shu go back, he asked in a puzzled voice:
"Master, didn't you say that the most taboo for us to be internal officials is 'the chicken lying on the threshold at both ends', isn't the eldest prince already rewarded, why do you still accept her?"
Gonggong Qiu glanced at him, then transferred the silver ticket that had not yet been covered in his hand to the little apprentice, and snorted: "You are a brainless person, if I don't accept it, I will be lazy to pay attention to this person, and I took her, because I think she can be handed over." Take it, go back and send it to your mother, don't say that the master doesn't care about you. β
The little eunuch listened half-understood, just silently wrote it down, pinched the silver ticket and looked at the number on it, grinned, and stuffed it into his arms preciously, thinking: Whatever the master says, it's good!
Yu Shu returned to the dining room, Zhan Xueyuan and Cui Yun were gone, thinking that it was because of Fang Cai's embarrassing face, so he ran back to the room.
The dishes on the table didn't move, Yu Shu looked at the three young people sitting on the table and obediently waiting for her to come back, and waved generously:
"You're welcome, eat."
Except for Wen Shaoan, who was expressionless, the other two people each breathed a sigh of relief, and only showed a friendly smile to Yu Shu all day.
Yu Shu had a great appetite because someone was considerate, and she was full after eating two steamed buns, and during the banquet, someone inevitably asked about her relationship with Xue Guifei, Yu Shu pretended to be stupid to deal with it, and when she couldn't eat it at the end, she returned to the room with the pot of sweet 100-year-old wine.
After washing his face with water, Yu Shu took off his coat, lay on the bed softly, holding a small wine glass, looking at the crescent moon outside the window one by one, smiling and squinting.
Philistines disturb themselves, no matter who Xue Rui had in his heart before, from now on, she will work hard to make him the only one in his heart.
At the same time, in the north courtyard of Huazhen Garden, on a small building by Li Lake, Father-in-law Qiu walked into the middle room lightly, opened the layers of manyu bead curtains, bowed his head, and respectfully knelt on a carpet, and said in a downward voice:
"Back to Niangniang, the slave just sent the food, and the pot of wine was also delivered."
In the tooth tent, a figure lying on the side, floating light reflected on the cherry yellow silk curtain, and the tired voice was like dew, which was heartbreaking:
"See someone?"
"I saw it, the clean and delicate life of that person, the appearance is not amazing, but the words are proportionate, not like a person who is rigid in a small family."
"You ghost elf mind, did this ask you this?"
"It's a minion who talks a lot."
There was a light laugh behind the tent, and he said:
"That's it, this palace is just curious, Chengbi is looking for you to take care of a girl, and he doesn't deliberately hide it from me, I think it was he who moved some children's thoughts, so he deliberately let me know. The eldest brother died at an early age, Chengbi was sensible, more than that dry and creamy, I don't know how much I was angry, the emperor was willing to reuse him, and my aunt's face was bright. It's a pity to see that he has left his mother since he was a child, and I only have a little ninety and a prince, and I am widowed under my knees, but I love him like a son, so I naturally have to worry more about him. β
Father-in-law Qiu hurriedly said: "The eldest prince is a young talent, both civil and military, which son-in-law brother in Anling City can compare, and only our prince is the king." β
"Hehe, don't you coax me to be happy, although Xiao Jiu is smart, he is not as flexible as Cheng Bi, in the end, he has been in the mountains for so many yearsββ"
Xue Guifei condensed here, didn't know what to think, sighed lightly, and waved her hand:
"Go down, inquire about the girl, and come back to it."
"Yes, the minions are retired."
Gong Qiu bowed his head and withdrew from the court. (To be continued.)
