Aunt Sun: "......"

After a while, she said with a strange look in her eyes: "You have inquired about the nobles in the palace clearly." ”

"How dare you pry into the privacy of your nobles." Wen Zhen said with a smile, "It's really my ancestor who used to serve in the imperial dining room, food and medicine are inseparable, and he also knows a little about the dietary preferences and taboos of some nobles. ”

Aunt Sun's expression was a little more relaxed, this fashion palace bureau Shanggong personally greeted her, this Huang Shang Gong Rong has a long face, his eyebrows are slightly drooping, and his eyes are always downward, revealing a cautious energy, only occasionally lifting his eyelids, can he see that kind of eyes are cold and solemn like a flash of lightning.

She kept a polite attitude towards Aunt Sun at a distance, and her attitude towards Wen Zhen could not be seen as hot or cold, Wen Zhen's sweet face was very friendly when she smiled at people, but this Huang Shanggong did not move his eyebrows at all.

Looking soft, it's actually cold and hard, Wen Zhen thought.

The two palace people made a handover, and Huang Shanggong took Wen Zhen into the Shanggong Bureau, and first asked her how she had learned the etiquette rules. When this Wen Zhen followed King Ding and the Wen family all the way to Beijing, he had been taught by the grandmother invited by the Wen family, although he could not be as proficient and exquisite as Wen Jinchun, but he was also decent, Huang Shanggong gave her a book that was so thick that it could be stoned to death, and asked her to memorize it within three days, and pointed out a room near the main entrance, and allocated it to her two little palace maids, explaining that she would come to test her rules in three days, and then determine her position and leave.

That book is a guide to the rules for female officials to enter the palace, divided into two categories: what can be done and what cannot be done, of which the content that cannot be done occupies 95% of the space, and there are only a few that can be done.

Wen Zhen focuses on the promotion and demotion provisions of female officials first, this is the point she is most concerned about, sure enough, female officers are rewarded when they serve, and if they are promoted to the fourth grade, they can be given a residence outside the palace, they can visit their families every month, and they can recommend a child of the family to donate to the court.

The monarch of this dynasty is generous, there are many rewards for the palace people, the number of palace maids is not much, three years after release, not to mention the female officials, relatively idle and clean, have a certain status, the system is independent and generally not involved in the harem battle, many after the expiration of the marriage to the important ministers of the royal family, there are also turned into palace concubines, and there are unwilling to marry people to transfer to the royal palace to do teaching or female officials, the most wonderful is one, after leaving the palace to participate in the martial arts, actually also lifted, but in the end did not go to be a general, what happened, but it is unknown.

After the female official left the palace, her status was very high, there were conveniences in all aspects, and there were many ways out, no wonder the women of the Wen family fought for their heads at the beginning.

The palace maid who served her adhered to the palace dogma, never said much, and saw that she stepped down by herself without instructions, Wen Zhen endorsed herself, this Shang Palace Bureau is a separate and not small courtyard, the location is slightly off, and there are many flower beds around, and there are not many palaces.

While endorsing the book, she began to boil the soup, she is the chief chef of the lawsuit, although the grade has not yet been determined, but the identity of directly serving the emperor is different, so her room is also equipped with a small kitchen, in which all kinds of vegetables are changed every day, and the big kitchen is synchronized.

Wen Zhen began to boil the broth, she followed the smell of the bad taste for a few days, knew some of the practices and habits of the imperial kitchen, confirmed that in the East Hall, there is no soup stock at present, the Wen family is a talented person, the earliest use of soup in the imperial diet, is to come out quickly, to the first emperor period, once somehow ate the stomach, after the strict investigation, and no one poisoned, it is suspected that the soup used by the cook has deteriorated, the cook lost his life, since then the imperial kitchen until the smell of the old man out of the palace, have not used the stock.

The soup recipe originally used by the Wen family was simply based on meat, but in Wen Zhen's opinion, it was not particular enough, and the pot of soup she boiled had hoofs, old hens, ducks, pigeons, live fish, scallops, mushrooms, sea cucumbers, and prawns...... Coupled with the ingredients simmer over low heat, a pot of soup stewed from morning to evening, remove all the ingredients, leave only the clear soup, filter it with clean gauze, and then chop the chicken into minced meat, soak it in green onion and ginger wine, wrap it in gauze and put it into the clear soup, heat it over a high fire and then low heat, and wait for all the turbid suspended matter to be adsorbed by the chicken minced food, and then repeat this operation twice, which is called hanging soup in terminology, one hanging is refined, two hanging and three hanging are more particular, and in the end the soup is clear as boiling water, it is called perfect.

Wen Zhen doesn't know when he'll be summoned to show off his cooking skills, but it's always good to be prepared. She always likes to sew a lot of hidden pockets on her clothes, hiding all kinds of spices in small bottles.

The soup is good, Wen Zhen tried a boiling cabbage by himself, it tasted delicious, Wen Zhen just finished eating and was about to continue to work hard, the two little palace maids came again, one of them was called Dianjin, the other was called Silver, their faces and figures were quite similar, and they knew that they were cousins and were elected to the palace at the same time.

Dian Jin, who looked more clever, said: "Aunt Huang asked the female official to be in charge of the duty today, as well as the meals in the Chonghua Palace." ”

Wen Zhen listened inexplicably, and asked the gold to know that the female officials of the Shanggong Bureau have a turn off every ten years, and they have to return to the Shanggong Bureau when they rest, and after they come back, they also have to participate in the night of the Shanggong Bureau, mainly responsible for the safety matters such as the lighting portal that night, as for the Chonghua Palace, it can actually be regarded as the imperial temple, and there are now several concubines and royal family members in the Qing Dynasty.

The female officer who was supposed to be on duty and delivering meals tonight was not feeling well and took temporary leave, so Huang Shanggong ordered Wen Zhen.

It sounds like a very normal thing, but Wen Zhen doesn't dare to think so, how can there be so many coincidences in the world, and besides, she just came to let her go on a bad trip, how can there be a sense of wrongness. Looking at the two little palace maids, their expressions were also quite unnatural, as if they were faintly afraid of something.

She followed the procedure of the gold sect, received the waist card, went to the small kitchen near the Shanggong Bureau to receive the meal, and the two little palace maids carried the food box all the way down a relatively hidden path to the Chonghua Palace.

A group of three people walked through the flowers and trees, and someone passed by in the distance, and stopped at a glance at the petite figure shuttling between the flowers and trees from a distance.

The eunuch behind him waited for a long time, and he didn't know why, and asked hesitantly: "Your Highness?" ”

......

In front of the Chonghua Palace, there was a palace maid followed Wen Zhen and others, and a thin and young palace maid opened the food box, took a look, and frowned without a trace.

Don't say that she frowned, Wen Zhen wanted to frown, opened the box, and a stream of oil and gas rushed to the sky, is this kind of big meat diet suitable for people who are cultivating?

She looked at the Chonghua Hall at night, the half-new and not old palace, the dark eaves and corners dragged obliquely in the blue night sky, the copper bells under the eaves were mottled, the wind did not sound, and if you looked closely, there were no bells in it.

The palace maid of the Chonghua Hall asked her to wait at the door, and she went to bring her the noon utensils back.

Wen Zhen stood at the door, there was still some distance from the door, although she was casual, but cautious, following Sister Lin's dogma, "Don't say a word, don't take one more step." "There was no curiosity, and he didn't stick his head out of the door.

Then she suddenly heard a piece of music.

At first, she didn't react to the music, the palace was solemn and solemn, the atmosphere was gloomy, the queen mother and the emperor heard that they were all happy, and the queen naturally sang with her husband, Concubine De was an unrestrained but difficult character, and the concubines at the bottom lived tremblingly under these gods, and no one dared to play and sing silk and bamboo dance music, and they were quiet everywhere.

It is said that the sound of music in this palace should feel very abrupt, but Wen Zhen only noticed it when the music sounded for a while, just because this music rhythm is too pleasant, like wind and water, like moisturizing things, spring rain like scorching sun and snowflakes, and it will become invisible when it hits its chest, and its heart seems to have been ironed by clouds and kissed by flowers, and the blood all over its body is flowing and soothing, gurgling into that piece of spring light.

Wen Zhen couldn't understand the rhythm of music, and she couldn't hear whether it was Xiao or Di, but that didn't prevent her from appreciating all beautiful things. Almost instantly, she was immersed in it, and subconsciously followed the source of the music a few steps, approaching the door of the courtyard.

There was a sudden crackling sound inside, like something was shattering.

The two little palace maids who were originally standing far away originally showed a look of intoxication, but when they heard this crisp sound, Huo Ran woke up and retreated suddenly, almost a few feet away, Wen Zhen's heart jumped, and then he realized that he had stood in the middle of the door without knowing when, and immediately retreated.

But it was too late.

Like a whistling wind, or a cannonball out of the chamber, a gray and black light and shadow suddenly rolled out from the depths of the crimson palace gate, and in the blink of an eye, it came close, and a dry black and thin hand stretched out from the gray and black wind, and the nails were sharp and blue, and it grabbed Wen Zhen's throat.

The speed of the man was amazing, and Wen Zhen only had time to raise his arm and snort-

Only then did I hear the man's rough voice and laugh, "Have you come to poison me?" Yes? Did you finally come to poison me? Okay, good, come on, come on! ”

"Qi Clan, put it down!" The footsteps sounded rapidly, and the palace maids and guards finally appeared like the policemen in the modern film and television dramas.

"Hurry up and ask the doctor, the mother is sick again!"

"Let go, let go! This is not your enemy, let go! ”

In the chaotic shouting, the two little palace maids who wiped gold and silver closed their eyes in fear.

They had seen such a similar scene before, a talented female official was crushed by this crazy woman......

Wen Wen female officer must have almost come to an end...... Thinking so, the two of them hurriedly took a few more steps back and lifted their skirts up.

The last time the female officer died, blood sprayed a few feet away, but don't stain their skirts.

The gold and the silver glanced at each other, their eyes were a little regretful, and they were more indifferent.

It's a pity that most of the female officials who entered the palace were also killed in the struggle without gunsmoke, and it was difficult for them to have a truly gentle and kind temperament, which also made it extremely difficult for them to serve.

It's so easy to meet someone who looks good, who knows it's about to be buried.

Who told her to offend people before she entered the palace? Sikong Jia specially asked the trustee to come in and instruct. Noble people, a fluttering word is a human life.

The two little palace maids lowered their heads and thought about their thoughts, and they also had the heart to avoid the terrifying picture of blood splashing three feet on the imminent arrival.
