Chapter 40. It's still early
"I've eaten enough this time."
"Well, it's full, it's delicious." Bai Xianyu said shyly. She was alone, and finished the big bowl of venison soup.
She wanted to save a little for her mother, but the eldest lady said that during the time when she was waiting for Hanzi to take the meat soup from the big kitchen, she was already full and didn't want to eat it.
The white pomelo, which was full of food and drink, was tired of the eldest lady's side again.
"Mother, can I go to Jingwu tomorrow?" Bai Xianyu sprinkled Jiaojiao and asked.
The eldest lady felt uncomfortable for a while, but her face was not obvious, "You have to rest well these days, don't run around, if you want Jingwu, your mother sent someone to call her over." ”
Bai Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and the eldest lady's previous words made her inexplicably a little uneasy.
"Yes, thank you, Mother."
Then, again, there was a wave of greasyness.
Zhiningyuan is warm, but Jingsitang is a beautiful scene.
Singers and singing and dancing girls appeared one after another.
When did Bai Jiyuan see such a scene, he was dazzled at that time.
Bai Jitong looked at Bai Jiyuan, who looked like a dirt bun on his left, and pursed his lips with a little disgust.
At this time, Emperor Jingde was the first son.
The first seat on the right hand of Emperor Jingde is the crown prince Yang Zhaoming; The first seat on the left hand side is, Bai Mingtang, Uncle Bai.
Originally, at lunchtime, Bai Jitong was under the prince, and Bai Jiyi was under Uncle Bai.
However, when the dinner began to take a seat, the prince directly pulled Bai Jiyuan and sat on his right-hand side.
In this regard, although Bai Jitong was angry, he dared not speak out.
could only walk to the opposite side, intending to sit in Bai Jiyi's previous seat, but Bai Jiyi completely pretended to buy and saw Bai Jitong's brother, and sat directly in the original seat with a big grin.
also said, "Third brother, aren't you sitting opposite?" Forgot? ”
Bai Jitong wanted to have a seizure, but he was glared at fiercely by his father, so he could only sit on the seat of Bai Jiyuan's head stupidly.
The two who were younger brothers actually bullied their brother like this.
But at this moment, no one in the field will care about Bai Jitong's mood.
Emperor Jingde sat in the top seat, naturally watching everyone's behavior, but he just held his wine glass and smiled silently.
rarely looked at Bai Jitong again, this white family is not worth paying attention to.
After the song is played, the servant, and the dancing girl temporarily retreats.
Subsequently, the maids who served the dishes came in from outside the door and served the first batch of hot dishes to everyone present.
During the serving, Bai Jiyuan's eyes were almost all the way to the tray in the maid's hand.
When the maid brought the food to him, he didn't need the maid to serve him, and he took the food himself.
At this time, there were only two hot dishes, one of which was the three fresh venison soup that Bai Jiyuan had in mind.
Bai Jiyuan picked up a small bowl of meat soup from the tray, and couldn't help muttering, "This is too small, not enough to eat." And then I ate it in two or three bites.
He smashed his mouth and tasted it, but unfortunately he didn't seem to have eaten it yet, so he finished eating.
said that it was muttering, but in fact, the prince and Bai Jitong on the left and right heard it clearly.
The prince rolled his eyes with minimal movements, pushed the meat soup that the maid took out of the tray in the direction of Bai Jiyuan, and said helplessly: "Ah Yuan, take it." ”
Bai Jiyuan, who was reminiscing about the aroma of meat, was overjoyed, "Oh, how embarrassing is this." But he was embarrassed, but his hand was already stretched out, and he took the prince's bowl of venison soup in one hand.
This time, Bai Jiyuan was elegant, probably thinking that he would at least taste what today's meat soup was like, so this time he ate it with a spoon.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, he didn't rush to swallow it, and then a different salty taste burst in his mouth, which was extremely delicious, but it made Bai Jiyuan frown subconsciously.
Uncle Bai has been holding back his strength since Bai Jiyuan just yelled at himself to serve the food, and at this moment, seeing Bai Jiyuan eating the prince's meat soup, he also made an expression that was difficult to swallow, and he couldn't hold it back.
"Eat and eat, why do you make these strange gestures?"
Bai Jiyuan swallowed the meat soup in his mouth, his expression slightly hesitant.
"Father......, the bowl of meat soup I just now seems to be spoiled, and the taste is a little strange...... this bowl is good." As he spoke, he raised the bowl of meat soup that he had brought from the prince in his hand.
Bai Jiyuan finished speaking.
Bai Jitong and Bai Jiyi, even including Emperor Jingde, all picked up the meat soup on their desks and sniffed subconsciously. The meat is so fragrant that it makes people feel appetizing, but they have no intention of eating it for the time being.
And Uncle Bai's face was red and black, black and blue, and he felt that he was going to be angry to death.
"What, good, bad, since you were a child, when have you ever eaten something bad, what do you know?" You Lao Tzu is giving a banquet to the emperor, where are you, demolishing Lao Tzu and saying that something is broken?
This is stepping on the face of the Bai family to the ground!
Bai Jiyuan also realized that he was speaking inappropriately. But still stubbornly, softly, came a sentence.
"It's really different."
At this time, there was no singing and dancing during the banquet, and the maids who served the dishes had also retreated.
Therefore, although it was only a small commotion during the banquet, Jingxin outside the meditation hall still noticed it.
Uncle Bai saw Jing Xin walk in, and his expression was slightly gloomy.
"Jingxin, you tell this idiot whether his meat soup is bad or not!"
This time, almost all the arrangements for Emperor Jingde's visit were taken care of by Jing Xin, so if there is a problem with the meal, it is not wrong to ask Jing Xin.
As soon as Jing Xin entered the room, he noticed that Bai Jiyuan had a bowl in his hand, and there was also a bowl on the table, but the prince did not have a bowl for meat soup, so he roughly understood what was going on.
"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness, and Uncle. There is no problem with the meat soup, but the three fresh meat soup of Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the uncle is venison. And the three young masters are beef, so the taste will be different. ”
Jing Xin calmly pointed out the problem, and then planned to step aside.
Emperor Jingde said at this time: "What, this is still divided into categories, why is it different?" ”
Jing Xin arched his body slightly, and objectively stated what happened in the kitchen without humility or arrogance.
“………… Thinking of being an elder brother, he was a friendly sister, so he exchanged the share of the three young masters to Miss Twelve. ”
Jingxin's reason is very reasonable, and when the maids reported the dishes just now, they only said that it was "three fresh meat soup". From Jingxin's side, there is nothing wrong.
Venison is a relatively rare game, but in an agricultural-oriented era, beef is also rare in a sense.
These two types of meat, in terms of meat quality, are also relatively close.
But, who would have thought that Bai Jiyuan would win two bowls alone?
Jingxin's explanation is reasonable and well-founded, so that people can't find fault with it.
Emperor Jingde did not dwell on this, but focused on Bai Xianyu.
"Bai Aiqing, it seems that the twelfth lady of your mansion is in good health, I heard that the twelfth lady is smart and lovely, and it is still early, do you want me to see it?"
