Chapter Ninety-Five: Partridge Rice
Yingchun resigned from the king of Beijing, and hurried to the backyard, she was about to go straight to Jia's mother's house, but was stopped by a maid in her house in front of the porch.
"Madame is back!" The maid said in surprise.
"I'm going to see my grandmother." Yingchun said as he walked forward.
"The old lady and Miss Lin already knew that the lady was back, and the lady was not in a hurry to go over immediately, so she changed her clothes inside and outside first, washed her face and then went." The maid said with a smile.
Yingchun looked down and saw that his dress was already dirty, and he couldn't help but blush, smiled at the maid, and then followed her into the house, and replaced the clothes inside and outside with a brand new set. After she finished changing her clothes, another maid came to comb her hair and wash her face, and poured on the balm and ointment.
"Is Madame eating here, or is she going to eat with the old lady? The old lady had just sent her lunch. Another maid came over and asked.
Yingchun ate some snacks on the carriage back, but he was not too hungry, so he said, "I'll eat with my grandmother." So someone went to the kitchen to spread the word and deliver the lunch to Jia's mother's house.
After cleaning up for a while, Yingchun hurried to Jia's mother's house, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Daiyu arranging for the maids and daughters-in-law to set up dinner.
These things have been done by Sister Feng Li Kun every day, where is the turn to get this eldest lady who does not eat fireworks in the world to do it herself, and when she sees Daiyu like this, she can't help but purse her lips and smile slightly.
Daiyu also saw that Yingchun was back at this time, so she hurriedly greeted her.
"Second sister, you scared me to death last night—" Daiyu looked at Yingchun and whispered.
Yingchun stretched out a finger to her lips, made a quiet movement, and then came to Daiyu's side, and whispered in her ear: "The old lady is okay, she doesn't know." ”
"If the old lady knows that you are missing, it will be terrible, I only told her that you went to February Spring to stay for one night and then returned, she was a little complaining about how you spent the night outside, I didn't dare to say, I was only frightened for one night, fortunately, the king of Beijing sent someone to spread the word that my brother-in-law had found my sister, otherwise the old lady would definitely find out that my look was wrong, where did you go this night." Daiyu said with a bit of disgust.
"I'll tell you when I get back, I'll go see the old lady first." Yingchun raised her eyebrows and smiled, and then entered Jia's mother's bedroom.
Jia Mu was sitting on a chair covered with fox fur at the moment, and the mandarin duck was waiting to drink soup.
"The old lady looks much better than yesterday." Yingchun smiled and stepped forward.
When Mother Jia saw that the spring was coming, she handed the soup bowl in her hand to the mandarin duck, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said with a smile: "That Imperial Doctor Dong, indeed the medical skills are extremely high, I drank two doses of her medicine, and my body is much easier, but you, why did you run to Februarychun without saying a word yesterday, just go, and even stay there for the night, this is not the behavior of people like us, next time it must not be, lest my uncle say that our girl has no rules at all." ”
"What the old lady said is, I won't dare next time, well, it's so fragrant, I'm starving, let me see what is delicious." Yingchun hurriedly smiled and diverted the topic.
At this time, the mandarin duck on the side laughed and said: "We came to Beijing Wang's house to spend the night, and it was an eye-opener, sister, do you know what kind of rice this is." ”
Yingchun glanced at the bowl of rice in the food box, smelled only a special fragrance, how did she know what kind of rice this was, so she smiled and asked: "Isn't that the rice, can it be better than the rouge royal rice we ate before?" ”
"This is called partridge rice, it is planted on the tail feathers of the partridge, only two seeds can be put at a time when planting, if you are lucky, you will fly back next year and there will be a bunch or two of rice ears on the tail, I don't know which friend of the king of Beijing sent it, a total of half a bucket, the king of Beijing does not love these things, has not touched it, and then yesterday let people send it to us." The mandarin duck said with a smile.
Yingchun listened to the words of the mandarin duck, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, looking at the bowl of rice, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
