Chapter 408 Apricot Blossom Cake
With the help of Sister Li, Shen Mei still entered the Shen Mansion, after all, she was a person next to her lady, and her words carried some weight, and after Sister Li led Shen Mei to the housekeeper, the old housekeeper nodded.
The old housekeeper is the old man of the Shen Mansion, Shen Mei can feel the love in the old man's eyes when she looks at the old man in front of her, I remember that every time she comes back from the palace, the old housekeeper always greets her lovingly, not to say how she has lost weight again, or whether the young lady has been wronged in the palace, as if she cares about her granddaughter anymore, Shen Mei knows that the old housekeeper treats her as her own relatives.
The old butler smiled kindly, "This young man doesn't know what I should call you, since Sister Li recommended you to come over, I think you should stay, write your name here, by the way, you should be literate." The old housekeeper asked Shen Mei, and then handed Shen Mei a contract slip on the counter.
Shen Mei nodded after reading it, and then continued, "My name is Lu Jiu, everyone who knows me calls me Xiao Jiu, and the master housekeeper can call me Xiao Jiu in the future." ”
When the old housekeeper heard Shen Mei's words, he couldn't help but smile and asked him, "Xiao Jiu, shouldn't you be the ninth in the family?" ”
Shen Mei smiled and said in a calm tone, "My mother said that this name is based on the long-term meaning, hoping that our family will have a long-term reunion, and the long-term meaning is the origin of my name." ”
"Uh-huh, good name." The old housekeeper looked at Shen Mei thoughtfully. I don't know what I'm thinking, a pair of eyes that have been through vicissitudes of life reveal a trace of sadness.
Seeing this, Shen Mei didn't say anything more, thanked the old housekeeper and went out with Sister Li.
The two stood in the courtyard.
Shen Mei greeted a smile and stepped forward to thank her, "Thank you eldest sister for your help, this is a favor I owe to my eldest sister, if you have a place to find me in the future, just ask me." ”
Sister Li naturally liked this young man very much, and nodded with a smile, "I just said that I think you can, do a good job and our Shen family will not treat you badly." ”
Shen Mei nodded.
"By the way, I have to rush to decoct the eldest lady, but you also saw it just now, it's my memory, I don't know where to leave the apricot blossom cake that the lady ordered to buy......" Sister Li's words were not finished.
"Eldest sister, this apricot blossom cake in the capital is good at He Ji pastry shop, if the eldest sister is busy, this little thing will be left to me." After speaking, Shen Mei showed a bright smile to Sister Li.
Such a smiling face and what she said just now made Sister Li feel full of joy that it was an extremely correct thing for her to bring Lu Jiu over to see the old housekeeper just now.
"Okay, you can go and get back quickly." Sister Li said happily.
Shen Mei turned around and was about to leave, but her eyes fell on the medicine bag in her hand, if she didn't ask to understand, she was afraid that her heart would not be calm.
"Big sister, I'm ......"
"Say what you want to ask." Seeing that Shen Mei wanted to speak again, he thought that he had something to understand.
"What I want to ask is, ...... this medicine" Shen Mei tentatively asked what the medicine bag that Sister Li was carrying in her hand was.
"So you wanted to ask this." After speaking, she shook the medicine bag in her hand.
"The eldest lady has always had insomnia recently, and her body is also a little weak, and when she learned that the tranquilizer in the big pharmacy in the capital has a good effect, she went to prescribe a few pairs of medicines for her and came back, but she lost something on the way." Sister Li was a little embarrassed, I was afraid that I would make people feel unreliable like this, and besides, the young man she faced was brought in by herself, if she let him see the joke at this time, no one would listen to her in the future, realizing that she had lost her words, she quickly closed her mouth.
"I see, Sister Li is really caring, it seems that Mrs. values Sister Li very much." Shen Mei smiled, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, after all, her mother was fine.
Shen Mei walked on the street, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, she was a little excited, and when she entered the Shen Mansion, she would be able to see her mother often in the future, which could be regarded as fulfilling her great wish.
He Ji's pastry shop is on the street, a gate shop, business is booming, the pastries here are very famous, especially the apricot cake, Shen Mei lined up at the back of the line, the guys in the store moved very fast, and they didn't wait too long to get to Shen Mei.
There are all kinds of delicate snacks in the cabinet of the store, and the sweetness of the pastries and the refreshing floral fragrance mixed with them are faintly lingering on the tip of the nose, which eliminates the sweet and greasy taste of the dessert inadvertently. Shen Mei's gaze fell on a wooden box of pale yellow printed pastries.
"Give me some of this." Shen Mei said to the shopkeeper and pointed to the dim sum in front of her.
Shen Mei remembered that every time she went back, she could see a plate of such snacks on her mother's table, although she didn't have much interest in pastries, but every time she looked at it, she couldn't help but reach out and take it, and the taste is now in her memory.
Hunting Garden.
Late at night, Mu Qingfeng went out of the camp alone.
The soldiers outside the gate of the Eighth Prince looked at the man in the black robe in front of him walking towards him, with a layer of ice on his face, so that no one dared to look at him when they saw him.
"The Three Princes." The soldier just wanted to make a sound inside, but he didn't expect that the voice was suppressed by Mu Qingfeng's momentum and couldn't speak.
Mu Qingfeng walked into the tent, and the people on the side helped lift the curtain, and the sound of the people in the tent talking happily fell into Mu Qingfeng's ears.
"It turns out that the royal brother is here with the eighth brother." As soon as Mu Qingfeng raised his eyes, he saw Mu Lingxuan and the Eighth Prince sitting cross-legged on the low table on the carpet, drinking wine.
When the palace people saw Mu Qingfeng coming, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Why does the third brother have time to come over?" Mu Lingxuan's expression was faint, and he turned his face to Mu Qingfeng.
"Third brother, please take a seat." A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the eighth prince, but he felt that the person in front of him was very calm, it seemed that the prince could protect him, and a light smile immediately appeared on his face.
Mu Qingfeng came uninvited, lifted the corner of his robe, sat down, and just on the side of the two of them, he raised his head and drank it all with the jade wine pot of warm wine.
This action made Mu Lingxuan frown, and the hand hanging by his side subconsciously tightened a little.
"The eighth brother made a lot of trouble today, which is not small." Mu Qingfeng didn't give the people around him a chance to breathe.
Today's matter, he knew that the prince was doing things in it.
"Hehehe, third brother, this ......" The eighth prince smiled awkwardly, there was no smile in his eyes, but he frequently glanced at the person opposite with his spare eyes, but he was afraid that something would go wrong with him.
"The eighth brother is talking about it, how did it move to my head, could it be that the matter in Jizhou has not been able to give the eighth brother a wake-up call?" Mu Qingfeng said lightly, as if he had never cared about the reaction of the people around him to his words.
