21. The toad cries at night

Green ant new roasted wine, red clay small stove.

But tonight's small stove is no longer a clay pot, but a brass mandarin duck hot pot that I drew drawings and asked craftsmen to build.

The steaming spicy soup base is boiled over a charcoal fire, and although you can't find the chili pepper, there are peppercorns, green onions, ginger, dogwood, cinnamon, bay leaves and other seasonings and then hung with large bone broth, and it smells like a long-lost taste.

The non-spicy side is the mushroom soup base I made with red dates, codonopsis, and chicken bones.

The mutton is cut into paper-like thin slices, as well as freshly beaten shrimp slippery, various small crispy meats, and a fairy companion that is indispensable for eating hot pot - fried yuba. After the yuba transported to the capital by Jiangxi Gao'an was soaked, it was specially fried in the dining room. Needless to say, vegetables are an embellishment at the end.

When everything is ready, when the ingredients are soaked for a few seconds and then sent to the mouth, the feeling of happiness is instantly lit up.

Zhou Xiaoguifei was originally just curious about this way of eating, but after trying a few bites, she only shouted that it was delicious and delicious, and she also started to fight in person.

We were eating happily when we suddenly saw a small head poking in at the entrance of the temple, a little boy of six or seven years old, holding an Ultraman puppet that I had supervised.

Xu played too hard, and Ultraman's red paint had fallen off a little bit of color, and it was not so bright red.

Concubine Zhou Xiaogui looked at the kid, but she was still happy in her heart: "Ah, isn't this San Lang?" How did you run to Zhou Niangniang, come in. ”

Saburo. It turned out to be Xu Zhaoyi's son, but he didn't see his mother, but he saw his son first.

The concubine hurriedly beckoned him in, and ordered his subordinates to add more dishes and chopsticks.

I wanted to stop it, but it was too late, and the people had already sat down in the room.

This child of someone else's family, the concubine not only avoided suspicion, but also happily entertained Zhang Luo, this pure heart seems to be not as mature as these three princes.

After this San Lang sat down, he said respectfully: "Xie Guifei Niangniang's dinner, the eldest brother and the second brother didn't take me to play just now, I heard the laughter in your palace, so I came in and took a look." ”

The concubine sandwiched a full of chopsticks of mutton and him: "Zhou Niangniang and your sister Xiaofu are happy after eating this, you can also taste it." ”

This child is also well-behaved, and when he tried it, he also praised it with the atmosphere of adults.

I recall that when I was six or seven years old, perhaps because of the weakness of my spleen and stomach, I felt unpalatable to any other food except for sweetness. The noodle soup is bitter, and the greens are even more bitter.

And San Lang's appetite seems to be really good, Zhou Guifei eats whatever he wants, never refuses, and is not too spicy.

The little concubine looked at the little baby eating in front of her, and her eyes became gentle: "I also want to give birth to such a well-behaved one, the emperor already has four sons, why don't I add a princess to him." ”

Zhou Guifei's nurse on the side hurriedly spat on the floor: "Bah, Niangniang, you are talking nonsense, this dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the real dragons all like the prince!" ”

I couldn't help but giggle when I looked at this scene, but the nurse was even more energetic: "Miss Su, you said yes, the princess can't share the worries of the saint, how can she like it." ”

"Yes, yes. Grandma was right. I laughed and responded.

As he was talking, the little eunuch presented another tray: "Guifei Niangniang, the toad that the boss of Baiyue Mansion specially rode thousands of miles to send to you, it has just been delivered, and the little one is eating the pot, which is worthy of this flavor!" ”

"Wow, there's a bullfrog." I was both surprised and pleasantly surprised.

The little concubine's eyes flashed: "My father is really the best father in the world, and I still remember that I came to eat a warm pot in winter." ”

I stared at this plate of "curiosities", the overall body of the frog is large, it must be what the modern bullfrog is called, but they are collectively called "toads...... Thinking of the tender white and smooth meat after cooking, I felt that my appetite was great, and I originally thought that I would never taste this taste again......

The concubine smiled and said, "This skinned skin looks like a human leg!" ”

I looked at the strong thigh muscles, which were well-defined, and indeed they were.

I put the bullfrogs into a spicy pot and boiled them one by one, and it took a little longer to be healthy. The pink "muscles" tumble in the pot, first turning snow-white, and then coloring and flavoring little by little, making people salivate.

But the third prince on the side suddenly cried, and a circle of people hurriedly asked him why.

I saw him snorting and teardropping: "Woo woo, you actually eat Ultraman's meat, you are bad people, I want to go back to the palace to find my mother." ”

This is really rich in children's imagination.

I hurriedly coaxed: "Don't be afraid, the third prince, Ultraman is a big hero, and he is very big, so he will not be eaten by people." ”

But for a while, I couldn't persuade him: "I saw it, it's Ultraman's meat, it's all red meat." ”

Zhou Guifei was also at a loss by the child's crying, she had never seen this kind of battle, so she had to ask the nurse to carry him back to the Smoke Wind Palace.

The child's cry at the end of the pitch could still be heard far away, and now, only me and the concubine were left looking at each other.

A happy dinner was discredited halfway through. I thought that everyone was happy to eat, so I could take the opportunity to ask the concubine to make a few more brass pots that were quite expensive at this time, and I could give them Aunt Su and apples, and they could try them.

It's just that now, the concubine seems to be emotionally lost, and it's not bad not to be angry about it.

The third prince's sentence "You are all bad people" probably hit her heart. kindly entertained someone else's child, but the guest and host were unhappy, how could she not know that if she changed to the mother of another palace, she would avoid it.

She pouted, "I know what it means to have more than less." ”

I snickered secretly, I see where you understand, full of unwillingness in your heart, just complaining.

I removed the dining table and went to read the latest collection of folk art albums, since I didn't make a fuss and let me talk about new things, I was free, thinking about going to find Aunt Su.

Today, if you are allowed to walk around, it is not appropriate not to see her.

Restless all the way.

I was also wondering, why do I care so much about Aunt Sue's feelings, just because I want to be kind to a good person?

At the Xianchun Gate on the right side of the Liangyi Palace, I just happened to meet Aunt Su.

I was speechless for a while, but Aunt Su smiled indifferently: "I am preparing to pass on you, and now I will go to Wu Zhaorong's office in the new book on an errand, and the holy decree will be read by the person in your department." ”

I saluted and received: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

I followed my aunt, and behind them were the mighty eunuchs of the palace, each with a tray in his hands, full of edicts and rewards.

The matter of Wushengbu's love for purple has been confirmed again, and it seems that it is true, I only hurriedly swept away those rewards, and the purple of the clothes was thick or light. Even the palace where the emperor gave her to live is also the Purple Cloud Pavilion.

This Purple Cloud Pavilion is located in the upper right corner of the harem plan, and I don't know how many winding corridors and small bridges I have crossed just by walking over, which is quite difficult. Placing her in such a remote place, I don't know what this "purple" word has to do with it.

Because I am the one who reads the holy decree, I enter the gate of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, and I walk in front of me.

Looking at Wu Zhaorong, who walked out of the hall quickly to greet him, my heart still chuckled. His appearance and height were the same as the Wusheng Department I had seen in the camp from the mountain.

At this time, she was calm, and her smile was full of politeness. There was no surprise to see me, and it didn't seem like they knew me well.

The strange thing is that she doesn't know Fan Yusu, who is away from the mountain camp, but she knows Shi Fan Yusu, the eighth-grade girl of Si Yan Si. Kneeling down and listening to the order, without hesitation.

At this time, I was not wearing an official uniform, nor did I wear the waist card of Si Yansi. It's intriguing to be so sure of who I am.

I glanced at Aunt Su before taking the holy decree presented by Gong E on the side and reading it out in a straight color.

In addition to dozens of rewards, there are also blessings for the Wu clan in the holy decree.

She was very serious when she listened to the order, and her expression was demure, but she was no longer the same angry appearance.

When I had finished reading it, she took the decree with both hands, and I took a closer look at her hands, and those who practiced the blade were all rough hands, and there was no clue to see it at this time.

Aunt Su smiled kindly, and her tone was gentle: "Wu Zhaorong, the Holy Lord's message, tonight is fortunate in the Purple Cloud Pavilion, and the director of the Shang Sleep Bureau will come to serve later." The first rank of the lower official retired first. ”

Hearing this, Wu Zhaorong was unstoppable. He also grabbed the golden melon seeds given by the emperor to his aunt as tea money. The unspoken rules of the door in this palace are all known and very handy.

Aunt Su brought me to Ziyun Pavilion to order some water, and I knew what it meant.

went out and dismissed the waiters behind him, leaving only two or three close relatives. I took Aunt Su's arm and whispered a discussion with her.

"This Wu Zhaorong and the previous Wu Shengbu are definitely not the same person. But which is the real show girl, Xiao Su's evidence is insufficient. ”

Aunt Su opened her teeth lightly: "What else did you see?" ”

"She did her homework before entering the palace, about me and Liang Xueyuan. You see, today, where can I prove that I am a man of words? But she was very sure of who I was. ”

I lowered my voice: "If you boldly speculate, the one from the mountain camp looks like a real show girl." ”

Aunt Su looked serious: "The Wu clan is a country, Xirong grassland, and nomadic herders make a living. You mean it's not the same as the spirit? ”

I blinked: "Yes, auntie, a nomad, often haunted by wolves, and the people of her clan have alert expressions and sharp eyes. And Wu Zhaorong has the style of the Han people. But then again, it's rare for someone in this world to be so similar. ”

Aunt Su nodded: "Then it seems that tonight, it's not that simple." ”

"Huh?" Now it's my turn to be confused.

Aunt Su did not explain. stared at my bun: "The bottom of the hair is green, and the spirit snake is arrogant." is really close to Zhu Zhechi, who stayed in Qingluan Palace for a few days, and dressed up like Zhou Guifei. But you have to understand who your real master is in this palace. ”

"Auntie...... You only have three words to me. ”

I found my tone to be a bit coquettish.

My aunt also smiled: "It's not that my aunt doesn't want to say more, but that you, this kid, are a person who needs to think about everything clearly before being willing to do it." ”

"Hee-hee-hee......"

There are no more people in this world who know me so well, but the more precious it is, the more I can't speak.

Immediately, my aunt praised me again: "I know why you have come to me today." Now I understand that I have something to report, which is also a step forward. I've been to the palace and secretly interrogated the two palace ladies who lured you into the Silk Courtyard. I know the outline of what happened. ”

So I reported the allergy to apple rock wool powder to my aunt.

But I didn't think that my aunt sighed and said, "Little girl in the snow garden, my aunt is also worried about her!" ”

I clenched my aunt's arm tighter: "It's better to transfer her to the Liangyi Palace, and follow you." ”

But he was rejected at the first time: "Okay, many things are not arranged by you and me, go back quickly." ”

In the farewell room, Aunt Su cut the messy hair on my bun.

Ah, hey, touch your head to kill.
