Chapter 6 Banquets
Because she drank half a pot of wine when she went to bed last night, Cai Ling slept until three poles of the sun today.
She has always been a snooze, and in the past she always didn't sleep enough because she needed to see everything, but now it's better.
In the past, she was very casual, always sleeping until she woke up naturally, several times Yuan Jieyi stood outside the Tianzi No. 1 room and waited for her to sleep and then took in a lot of account books for her to see, she was really reluctant to go, and gradually got rid of the habit of snooze.
There is nothing to disturb this time, and Qing Xiu is excellent.
It's just that the rice that comes in from the clouds can be so light? Jade tofu, steamed sea bass, shallots, fungus......
She tasted it once, but it was tasteless, and she put the chopsticks down.
"Not to the girl's liking?" Manyun said, "The braised pork made by Master Song is excellent, and the slave maid will pass it on." ”
"No need." Cai Ling took a sip of tea, Shen Muchi has been by the Queen Mother's side since he was a child, Ziwei Palace's diet pursues nature, he is used to eating light food, where will the cook in his house meet her taste?
She couldn't treat herself badly, and she came back to the kitchenette before dinner to make herself a sweet and sour fish.
Because of the experience of burning the dining room last time, the cooks were very afraid of her, and several people in a group surrounded her.
She is not good at cooking, and this time she is not comfortable being surrounded by many cooking masters, and it is normal to make a plate of burnt fish with abnormal performance.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she took a sip in front of everyone, and nodded her head pretending to taste good. The cooks also felt embarrassed, and had to clap their hands and say, "The girl is a good cook, she is really a good cook." ”
She came out of the dining room with a blue and white porcelain fish plate, thinking about where to dump it.
The person who swaggered in front of him was Tao Tao, his burly figure blocked the thin Mingming, and there was only a touch of goose yellow behind him.
"You've come just in time. I have a hot dish of sweet and sour ...... here," she glanced at the black fish and immediately changed her words, "Sauce roasted fish, you can take it and eat it." ”
"You ......" Tao Tao took the fish plate in disgust, threw it into the bushes casually, and pulled Cai Ling's sleeve and said, "Let's go to the Huxin Pavilion." ”
"Oh, you're here too." Cai Ling saw the person behind him at this time, and he smiled happily.
"Sister Ling." Meng Meng is as knowledgeable as ever.
It turned out that she had always liked to go fishing and watch the mandarin ducks There is a calm lake behind the pond, there is a small island in the middle of the lake, and the octagonal pavilion is built on the island, and the white jade bridge connects the pavilion and the lakeside promenade.
She didn't know that the pavilion had already prepared a table full of wine and food, all of which were full of color, flavor and flavor, and she only had to take a look to know that it was from Dongxi Lou Chef Cai's own hands, and it was all her favorite dishes.
"The one who knows me is Tao Taoye." This was the first time she really felt happiness and joy in the Qin Palace. was about to raise his chopsticks to eat, but Tao Tao stopped him, "Don't panic, there are still people who haven't arrived." ”
"Who didn't arrive?" She asked impatiently. Seeing her impatient, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
She knew that she was out of shape, but said, "Now the head chef of the dining room of Dongxi Building has been replaced by Master Xiao, and although Lao Cai is still in charge, he only cooks for me, you don't remember." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Jiang Shao, Jiang shopkeeper. You're right, but ...... "Tao Tao face is difficult."
"Isn't even this king qualified?" The person who strode over was none other than Shen Muchi, and although Biluo who followed him was not as poignant and gentle, she was a little more enchanting as a woman.
"Your Highness appreciates her face, and the little woman naturally can't ask for it." Cai Ling said this, but when the other two were still saluting, they sat down generously and looked at the two white geese floating in the water.
Tao Tao is very puzzled by her current attitude, thinking that she begged him repeatedly to invite the Third Highness to dinner, and if His Highness does not come, she will be out of spirit, and His Highness will ignore her, and she will also be out of spirit for a few days. Today, Her Highness is here in person, and she has this attitude.
Meng Meng also noticed the difference, but it was too late to see Cai Ling, the Biluo facial features in front of her were exquisite, and her figure was wonderful, and people said that her piano skills and dancing posture were good, and today you can see that her style is more graceful than any lady in the city.
"Miss Yang." Biluo noticed her gaze, bowed generously, and then sat down beside Shen Muchi.
"Yuan Jiezhi asked me to send a message to you, saying that the business of the major businesses is excellent this month, you don't have to worry, you just need to rest in peace." During the banquet, Tao Tao gave her sweet and sour fish.
Cai Ling knew that he had nothing to say to break the deadlock, and besides, he took great pains to let her have a good meal, and she shouldn't let him down because of others, so she smiled: "That's very good." He raised his glass to the crowd and said, "Such a good thing deserves our celebration together." ”
"What does it matter to me that your business is good?" Shen Mu didn't raise his glass for a long time, but smiled, "Could it be that the one who sees it has a share?" ”
"What's so hard about having a share in the seers? When I leave the house, I will definitely send a box of Dongzhu, thank Your Highness for taking care of me recently. Cai Ling drank it all first, and then said to Biluo, "I'll give you another box, I really didn't want to tear your clothes last time." ”
"Miss Jiang is polite. It's no wonder that the clothes given to Biluo by His Royal Highness are similar to the girl's old clothes, and Biluo is fortunate to have a relationship with the girl. However, if Biluo had known that the girl was taboo to collide with others, she would not have worn it out. Biluo was not afraid, and there was a hint of pride on her face.
Cai Ling's hateful teeth itched, Manyun said that it was Biluo who withheld the dowry sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the person who ordered someone to burn her dowry after crying all night was still Biluo, and this time she even quibbled that the clothes were newly made, which was really unbelievable. She clenched her fists, this person is so hateful that she can still get Shen Muchi's heart, but she is a scumbag with a scumbag, which can't help but make people happy. She smiled lightly, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Biluo sandwiched a piece of braised lion's head into Shen Muchi's bowl, Cai Ling and Tao Tao looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile lightly. Shen Muchi doesn't like to eat pork very much, and she doesn't know whether the two of them have known each other for a long time.
Shen Muchi stared at the gloating Cai Ling for a moment, then looked down at the pork dumplings in the bowl, and said with a light smile, "I have always heard that you are not used to eating the dishes in the palace, this lion's head is for you." With that, he stretched out his arms and handed over the bowl.
Cai Ling didn't dare to say anything, he just took the bowl, naturally someone came to replace Shen Muchi with a new bowl, but he pointed to Cai Ling's bowl and said, "This king will change with you." ”
Is he sick? She still dislikes that the lion's head is Biluo, but he insists on using her bowl, since he was a child, he has been as clean as him, this time is extremely abnormal, even Tao Tao, who is between the two of them, is so shocked that his eyes are round, and he doesn't know which way to look.
Clanging ...... It was Biluo who broke the porcelain spoon. She smiled embarrassedly, her eyes hard to hide her loss.
Cai Ling had a flash of inspiration and finally saw the situation clearly. Shen Muchi got the benefit of the night before, and this time he was using her to stimulate Biluo to be jealous. Should she take advantage of the situation to satisfy his despicable purposes? It's just a play, as long as she doesn't sweep Tao Tao's interest, she has nothing reluctant.
"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, but I'm afraid of being greasy lately, so I won't eat the lion's head." Cai Ling handed the bowl containing the lion's head to Manyun, and then took the new bowl from Manyun's hand and handed it to Shen Muchi.
"This king obviously saw that you have already eaten three pieces." He didn't give up.
"It's because I ate as many as three pieces that I can't eat anymore." She said, "This turnip cake is what you like, give it to you." She used Manyun's new chopsticks to clip a piece for him, and another piece for herself, Fang smiled: "Let's finish eating together, whether Lao Cai's craftsmanship has improved." ”
If it's a play, it's a complete set. She couldn't help but look at the frustrated Biluo, this little blow to her, instead of making herself happy, she was very sad, because she knew that this was Shen Muchi's little trick. If in the past, he was willing to use such a careful opportunity on her Jiang Cailing, what an honor.
She drank the pot of wine as if she was thirsty, and she just wanted to keep drinking. Until Tao Tao stopped her and said, "Enough, you're almost drunk." He understood her, and if she was drunk and laughed, she would be drunk.
She forcibly changed seats with Tao Tao, and patted Shen Muchi's strong arm with a smile and said, "Why doesn't Your Highness drink it?" This glass of wine is a tribute to you by this girl, thank you for leaving this girl in the house, eating and drinking. With the power of wine, she actually reached out to bring the wine glass to Shen Muchi's lips, because he was tall, she couldn't reach it, and half of her body was raised, but fortunately Shen Muchi hugged her, so as not to fall under the table.
"Jiang Shao...... Ginger shopkeeper...... Jiang Ye ......" Tao Tao pulled the hem of her skirt and whispered, seeing that she seemed to be unconscious, he wanted to come over to help. Shen Muchi didn't let go, stared down at her smiling little face, held her wrist and drank the glass of wine.
"Lord Wang, Biluo's head is a little dizzy, and I want to go back to Qingyun Pavilion first." Biluo looked at it in his eyes, and was jealous, but he still whispered softly.
"It's not too early." Shen Muchi glanced at Biluo, Tao Tao took this opportunity to take the drunken Cai Ling into his arms, but Shen Muchi didn't give him a chance, reached out to pull Cai Ling back, and leaned on his shoulder. He got up and picked Cai Ling up from the chair, as if no one was in the front, leaving only one sentence, "Go back to each other." ”
It's been a long time since there is such a warm chest to rely on, Daddy's most beloved daughter is Cai Qian, who was born half a year later, because she looks like a father and is very coquettish, her brothers have married wives, and the sisters-in-law can't get used to seeing her sister-in-law get too close to her husband, so she deliberately keeps her distance, although Tao Tao is small, she is unwilling to take advantage of him. In Dongxi Building, she is Jiang Shao, and how many sons and brothers laugh at wine, and it is the singer of Baique Lou who is drunk in her arms.
Now that she could lean on such a wide chest, the faint aroma mixed with oranges, osmanthus and ambergris smelled so good, she couldn't help but get closer, closer, and finally clinging to it and refusing to leave.
Then she was placed on the bed, and she pressed his arm under her neck as she rolled over, expecting him to pull away so hard that she could sleep peacefully only when he had resolutely left.
Unexpectedly, he let her hold her down, and she didn't dare to fall asleep easily, and after a long time, when she was dizzy and about to fall asleep, she heard him say, "Last time I pushed you down, it was this king who was not good." ”
She knew that the last time he said was the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, her little finger recovered well, it was an unintentional mistake, she didn't care about it for a long time, but this time he apologized for no reason.
A line of tears could no longer be held back, and slowly slipped from the corners of his eyes to the pillow and fell on his arm. In the midst of her struggle, she tried to say, "There is no need to mention the past. ”
