Chapter 11 When the Brook Clouds Rise

"What do you mean?" When Jiang Qingran heard the word "testify", he suddenly became a little nervous.

An Su brought the last bite of rice in the bowl to his mouth, chewed it slowly and then said: "The family members selected in the palace are all required to be the daughters of the good family, and the slaves of the family must not be sent into the palace instead of the daughters of the good families. Master Jiang clearly called Chu Ruo his daughter, but you kept saying that she was your subordinate, could it be that Master Jiang committed the crime of bullying the king? ”

"You talk nonsense!" Jiang Qingran put the medicine bottle heavily on the table, scared Bo Churuo, but An Su was still very calm.

"Sister Qingran, there is indeed this rule for the election of the sons of the family, and Uncle Jiang has indeed given Bo Churuo the identity of the daughter of the Jiang family!" Zhou Meihong knew that this was a big deal, so she hurriedly reminded her.

"Okay, the daughter of the Jiang family is the daughter of the Jiang family, so it's okay to let you take advantage of this." Jiang Qingran pushed the medicine bottle in front of Bo Churuo, "I am the eldest sister, and my sister should serve the eldest sister." ”

"It's just a medicine, just I'm idle, I'll help you." An Su saw that Chu Ruo was troubled by her and couldn't eat well, so he grabbed the medicine bottle.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Qingran was so frightened that he took a step back.

"What else can be done? I'm going to help you with the medicine! As soon as An Su's voice fell, he quickly stretched out his hand, twisted Jiang Qingran's injured hand, and poured more than half of the medicine in the bottle. Suddenly, her screams echoed throughout the room.

"You'd better bear with it, if you disturb the master passing by, I'm afraid the other hand will also be drugged." As soon as An Su returned the medicine bottle to her, Jiang Qingran ran out with tears in her eyes. This pitiful appearance made An Su feel for a moment whether he had gone too far. But when he turned around and looked at the frightened Bo Churuo, he also felt that Jiang Qingran deserved it.

After a few days of peace, Jiang Qingran's hand injury has also healed, Xu has learned a lesson, and he has not been embarrassed by Bo Churuo these days. But Ansu always felt that with her temperament, she would not give up after receiving such a punishment. Bo Churuo is also worried, she has been in the Jiang family for a few years, and she knows very well what kind of character Jiang Qingran is.

"Sister Shangguan, you must be careful of Qingran, she was not very happy about what happened last time." Bo Churuo was timid, but he couldn't help but take the time to remind Ansu.

"Don't worry, she won't make any trouble."

"Alright, all quiet, there's a big announcement for today." An Sugang and Chu Ruo said a few words, and Mama Qin walked in extremely seriously.

"We are a palace maid here, in addition to teaching you the rules of the palace, you also have to look at your respective abilities, according to each person's good aspects, assigned to different places to be errands. Those who know some medical skills go to the Tai Hospital or the Imperial Pharmacy, those who can cook food go to the Imperial Dining Room or the small kitchen in the palace of the masters, those who can sing and dance go to the music workshop, and those who can embroider go to the embroidery workshop...... I don't know anything, except for being pointed out by the master of which palace to wait in the past, I have to do the most rough work. When Mama Qin said this, her eyes swept over everyone one by one, "So if there is a chance, you have to take advantage of it if you have the skills, and now there is an opportunity." ”

Mama Qin waved her hand, and a eunuch who delivered a message came forward behind her: "Liu Ji Niangniang will enjoy the flowers with the concubines in Yuliangtai in three days, and the imperial dining room will allocate a few pastries to the small kitchen of the palace maid's house to make them. Do you understand everything? ”

"No."

Ansu often cooks home-cooked food at home, but she doesn't have any ideas about pastries, so she gives this opportunity to others. Although there was a three-day deadline, the chefs were skillful and made all the necessary pastries in the afternoon of the next day. These pastries are not the best when baked, but they should be left for a day or two before eating.

The imperial chefs were in a hurry, and after the pastries were ready, they returned to the imperial dining room, and the palace maids were responsible for storing them. Where have the family members who have just entered the palace seen such delicate dim sum, and they all revolve around the pastries one by one, and they don't stop until dinner.

Ansu didn't join in the fun, no matter how delicate the dim sum was, it was only eaten by girls. You can only look at the pastries that you can't eat, so why bother to provoke them, but you have to think about it day and night. She just sat quietly next to her, waiting for the dinner that truly belonged to them.

But Chu Ruo was as excited as the others, and ran back and forth several times before squeezing into the crowd to take a few glances at the pastry. As soon as he returned to Ansu's side, he kept chattering: "Sister Shangguan, have you seen that snack?" I heard that one of them is called Hibiscus Jade Cake, which looks really delicious. If I could get a bite, I'd rather not eat dinner for a month. ”

An Su was amused by her greedy appearance: "It's a pastry that only the masters of the palace eat, but occasionally a slave wins the favor of the master, and will also be rewarded with a few pieces." ”

"Really? Then I hope to meet a master who loves to eat hibiscus jade cakes. Chu Ruo suddenly became happy, she shook An Su's arm, "But Sister Shangguan, you haven't even gone over to take a look, aren't you greedy?" ”

An Su shook his head: "Don't be greedy." ”

"Sister Shangguan, you are so smart, you will definitely get a lot of rewards from your master in the future, maybe you can eat all kinds of snacks!" At first speaking, I was a little envious.

"How about I give you all the snacks I will give to you in the future?" An Su coaxed her casually.

"Is that okay? Sister Shangguan, you are so good! Chu Ruo hugged An Su's arm and shook it excitedly. Once upon a time, when I was at home, when my younger brother Shaojun wanted to eat snacks, he also shook her arm like this. Now I don't know where he is, if he is hungry, if someone will give him snacks to eat.

After a while, it was time for dinner. The dinner of the palace maids was much inferior to the snacks of the masters, and even the utensils were very different. The two wooden barrels were filled with rice and soup respectively, and there was nothing else to eat at night, so I had to eat some rice with the soup and fill my stomach.

Xu was staring at the pastries and was hungry, and everyone was very happy. Ansu was still unhurried, just waiting for them to finish the trouble before stepping forward. But Jiang Qingran is a little strange today, she usually goes to serve the first one when she puts out the meal, but today she has been waiting by the side. An Su felt weird, and paid attention to her movements with her peripheral vision, keeping a little attention to it.

When An Su came back from the rice and soup, he would definitely pass by the place where the pastries were stored, and Jiang Qingran took a fancy to this. She quickly stretched out her legs as Ansu walked over to the pastry, and if she tripped up, the soup in the bowl would surely spill on the pastry. When the pastries can't be handed over, Mrs. Emei blames it, even if Mama Qin intends to protect it, she will not be able to escape this catastrophe.

It's a pity that Jiang Qingran has been pampered for many years, how can he have the speed of working in the field all year round. As soon as she stretched out her legs, Ansu guessed her intentions. It's just that the leg that stepped out at this time couldn't be withdrawn, so An Su took advantage of the situation and stepped heavily on Jiang Qingran's foot, which made her grin in pain. But the matter is not over yet, Jiang Qingran stretched out a leg, his center of gravity was unstable, and he was stepped on by An Su like this, and he lost his direction, and he fell straight on everyone's table, and suddenly the soup and rice fell to the ground, and the whole house was in a mess.

"Jiang Qingran, what are you doing! If you don't eat it yourself, we all have to eat!" "Indeed, as An Su said, this is not the Jiang family, so Jiang Qingran can't mess around. If she angers everyone, someone will stand up and accuse her.

In the past, when he was in Qinghe County, Jiang Qingran loved to dress up the most, and there were countless jewelry hanging on his head, not to mention that his clothes had to be kept clean at all times. Now that I have been spilled with soup and water, I can't stand it, how can I still have the heart to respond to everyone's accusations.

"What are you doing? You can be noisy like this after a meal! "Mama Qin had just finished dinner, and she took advantage of this time to see the pastries prepared for Mrs. Emei, but as soon as she entered the door, she heard the noise inside.

"Mama Qin, it's Jiang Qingran, who spilled our dinner."

The chaos in the house startled Mama Qin, and she didn't bother to pay attention to them, so she rushed to the pastry first and examined it carefully. Fortunately, although the house was in chaos, the pastries were still intact. After confirming this, Mama Qin had the heart to turn around and attack them.

"Jiang Qingran, I only warned you some time ago, the palace maid does not allow trouble, isn't the last ten ring rulers enough?" Mama Qin chose a clean place to sit down, and slapped it heavily on the table, which shook everyone's hearts.

"Mama Qin, I'm ......" Jiang Qingran was about to argue, but was interrupted by An Su, who stood up.

"Mama, we have been in the palace for so many days, and it is the first time to make pastries for the masters, so I can't help but be excited. Everyone was messing with each other, and they spilled dinner, and they would never do it again next time. Ansu turned around and gave everyone a look, "We'll clean up this place right away, and ask Mama for forgiveness." ”

Mama Qin sighed: "That's it, hurry up and clean the house, if there is a next time, I can't spare you!" ”

"That grandma, we still have dinner...... Bo Churuo shrank timidly behind An Su, but his stomach screamed so loudly that he couldn't help but ask. It's just that before he finished asking, he was shaken by An Su's arm, and Chu Ruocai shut up stupidly.

Mama Qin glanced at her and left without looking back.

"Chu Ruo, the dinner in our palace maid's house is rationed, one bowl per person, and if it is sprinkled, it can no longer be served, and it is useless to ask." When Mama Qin walked away, An Sucai explained.

"But Sister Shangguan, I'm so hungry!" Bo Churuo looked distressed, rubbed his stomach and asked, "But when Mama Qin first entered the door just now, she looked angry!" I thought I was going to be beaten by the board, why didn't you punish us in the end? ”

An Su rubbed her hair comfortingly: "I just said, it was we who fought with each other to make it like this, everyone participated, if you want to be punished, it will be punished together." But the law does not blame the public, and if the whole palace maid is punished outside, the passers-by will say that the diligent grandmother is mismanaged, and if it reaches the ears of the masters, it will be even more terrible. Therefore, Mama Qin will only be vigilant in words, and will not really punish us. ”

Chu Ruo nodded as if he didn't understand: "Sister Shangguan, you are so powerful!" ”
