Chapter 51: Pork ribs
In March, the climate is pleasant.
Since the last time Concubine Jing finished speaking, Jingyugong hadn't made pastries for several days.
Bai Ying has cut off the food, and he can still endure it, but if he wants to help send the white ribbon given by Fu Nanqi out, he must get something to "please and please" the little cutie, otherwise it will not dry up with its tail, who will she go to?
She hasn't even finished copying the Dan recipe yet!
Bai Ying was sad all morning, and she didn't read a few pages of the book in her hand, so Mama Shu came over and called her to lunch.
"Let's rest, girl, read every day, be careful of hurting your eyes. Come over for dinner first, I made braised pork ribs today, the pork ribs are stewed soft and then braised again, you can use more. โ
Bai Ying's eyes lit up, pinched the book, and lied cheekily: "Mama, Ah Ying hasn't finished reading it yet, I feel uncomfortable if I don't finish reading it, can I eat it when Ah Ying finishes reading?" โ
Mama Shu was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's a good thing to be studious, but the food will be cold after a while......" She couldn't bear the little girl's tangled expression, so she had to smile helplessly, "That's it, you continue to read, Mama will bring you some food, and you can read while eating." โ
Bai Ying's face was moved, "Mama is so good to Ah Ying." โ
Mama Shu said with a straight face: "This is only this time, there is no exception." โ
This is not a good habit, but the little girl is studious, and when she is excited to read, she is not very interested.
It's also a rare time, and Mama Shu won't indulge her like this next time.
The little girl nodded again and again, and her soft voice was as sweet as honey, "Okay! โ
Mama Shu turned around with a smile.
Concubine Jing hadn't come to eat yet, so she just asked someone to put some vegetables and serve them to Bai Ying, so as not to be seen by Concubine Jing and Bai Ying would be scolded again.
The palace maid put the food on the table and advised: "The girl is weak and can't eat cold food, remember to eat it while it's hot, and the slave maid will come back to get something later." โ
"Thank you, sister~ Thank you, sister, for your hard work." Bai Ying thanked her obediently.
The palace maid smiled and said, "The girl doesn't have to be polite, this is what a slave should do." As he spoke, he withdrew and took the door intimately.
Bai Ying listened to the footsteps and saw that the people were far away, so he opened the side window and let the fragrance of braised pork ribs waft out.
Bai Ying sat and counted in his mouth: "Ten, nine, eight, seven......"
Five was less than countable, and as soon as the black shadow jumped up, squatting by the window, the dark green cat pupils stared at the plate of fragrant braised pork ribs, and the cat's whiskers moved.
"Meow ~ Meow ~ Meow ......" The black cat let out a lazy cry, one after another, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the eagerness in the call.
Bai Ying beckoned with a smile, "Little cutie, come on." โ
She took a few pieces of the largest, meaty, red, oily braised pork ribs and put them on an empty plate for the bones, moved them to the ground, and waited for the cat's master to eat.
Without saying a word, the cat owner jumped down from the window, stepped on the soft meat pad, picked up a piece of ribs, and ate it slowly.
Bai Ying was not in a hurry to eat, she looked at the black cat with a smile, and waited for the cat owner to eat happily before opening the cloth bag and taking out the things.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "snap".
Concubine Jing stood outside the door with a frown, followed by Mama Shu with a helpless face.
Concubine Jing's eyes fell on the black cat who had no time to escape, as well as the oily empty plate, her eyes instantly widened, and she shouted, "Bai Ying! โ
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, the black cat turned his head, jumped on the window in three or two times, and ran away without a trace.
Only Bai Ying was left: What should I say if I'm going to die when I'm done, Ma Ma save me!
A quarter of an hour ago, when Concubine Jing came to lunch after changing her clothes, she found that Bai Ying was not there, so she asked Mama Shu, "What about her?" Why haven't you come yet? โ
Mama Shu's face did not change and said: "The girl ran out in a hurry, so she went back to read." โ
Concubine Jing frowned and didn't speak, and was about to sit down, when the palace maid who had finished sending the food came back to report to Mama Shu, "Mama, lunch has been sent to the girl,"
Mama Shu didn't have time to stop it, so she quickly finished speaking, and Mama Shu closed her eyes in resignation: It's over.
Hearing this, Concubine Jing said with a calm face: "What's the matter?" And sent her to the room? โ
Palace maid: "......" She realized that she seemed to have done something wrong, and immediately knelt on the ground, her head pressed on the ground, and did not dare to speak.
Mama Shu knew that Concubine Jing had the most important rules after entering the palace, and she couldn't hide it, so she had to say: "The girl read the book and saw the best place, and I wanted to come back to eat after reading it, but the slave felt sorry for her, so she asked her to send her food." Miss, don't blame her, it's all slaves and maids who call the shots without permission, and I'm afraid that you will know that you are angry, so you will say that she used the food. โ
Concubine Jing glared at her, and suddenly she had no appetite for food, "You are used to it like this, she is used to it, and she is more and more unaware of the height of the sky, and she has no sense of proportion at all!" โ
Mama Shu knelt down and said, "It's all the slave's fault." โ
"Reading ......" Concubine Jing was angry in her heart, and sneered: "I haven't usually seen her work so hard, it's really rare, she even needs someone to send her food, I want to see what kind of book makes her forget to sleep and eat so much!" โ
Mama Shu didn't have time to stop it, so she saw Concubine Jing walk out and go straight to Bai Ying's residence.
Mama Shu hurriedly followed, for fear that Concubine Jing would see Bai Ying eating while reading, which would make her angry and punish her for copying books.
As a result, the scene of reading a book while eating did not happen, but I saw Bai Ying giving the braised pork ribs to the black cat to eat.
Concubine Jing was speechless angrily, "You, you ......"
Mama Shu gave Bai Ying a look.
Bai Ying immediately got off the stool, bent his legs, stuck to the ground, raised his head and said, "Don't be angry, Ah Ying, Ah Ying has a reason!" โ
There's no reason to come up with a reason now!
When Concubine Jing saw her kneeling on the ground, her heart was slightly relaxed, but when she thought of what she had done, she was full of displeasure.
"Reason? What's your reason? Concubine Jing said, "I treat you as unruly, eating while reading a book, but you ate bear heart leopard gall, raised a cat in your own room, cut off your snacks, and fed it with your own food...... You, you! โ
The more you talk, the more angry you get.
Bai Ying hurriedly shook his head, "Ah Ying doesn't have a cat, but Ah Ying does know the black cat." โ
Concubine Jing's face was expressionless.
Bai Ying continued: "When Princess Yan scared me with a mouse, it was this black cat that caught the mouse, so Ah Ying was not frightened. The black cat is kind to Ah Ying, and Ah Ying can't do anything, so when it comes to forage for food, give it something to eat......"
"Ah Ying was putting down the book to eat, and when he saw it coming in through the window, he looked pitiful, and the book said that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring......
Concubine Jing interrupted: "Is it written in the book, the hatred of the spark, and the return of the original fire?" โ
Bai Ying: "......"
She said cautiously, "It seems that there is no ......"
Concubine Jing unceremoniously debunked: "Because in the book you read, these are not written at all!" โ
White Tree: o(โฏโกโฐ)o
Miscalculated, miscalculated, she didn't expect that she had read all the books that Concubine Jing found for her, and everything written in them was clear.
Bai Ying closed her mouth and looked at Concubine Jing miserably.
Although she was slapped in the face, it seems that Concubine Jing has loosened up.
Mama Shu took the opportunity to say: "Miss Ying is a kind and good child, don't blame her." โ
Good boy of kindness...... Bai Ying nodded cheekily, yes, yes, she is a good young man!
Concubine Jing's brows were relaxed, and she called the palace maid and instructed: "Take the things down, wash them, forget it, smash them and throw them away." โ
Can people still use dishes that have been used by cats?
The palace maid obeyed, walked in, bypassed the white tree, picked up the plate on the ground, bent down and walked out.
Seeing that Bai Ying was still kneeling on the ground, Concubine Jing said angrily: "Don't get up yet?" โ
After only a while, Bai Ying's legs were numb on his knees, although it was March, but the floor tiles were still cold, and Bai Ying rubbed his calves, trying to make it warm up quickly.
Concubine Jing turned her face away, for fear that she would show a trace of regret.
Mama Shu stepped forward quickly, helped Bai Ying to sit down, gently massaged the little girl's knees with a pair of wrinkled hands, and said gently: "Whether it is eating while reading a book, or feeding the black cat, it is Miss for your own good, and the girl must not have a pimple." Besides, the black cat doesn't look like it has a master, whether the body is clean or not, whether there are fleas and lice, it is very important, if it is not a bad heart, it is crazy to scratch people......"
Bai Ying nodded seriously and said, "Ah Ying understands, the concerns of the concubine and the grandmother are right, you are all thinking about Ah Ying." โ
is good to her, she still doesn't know good, but she is resentful, isn't she a white-eyed wolf?
Concubine Jing snorted coldly, her stomach was still empty, and seeing that Bai Ying didn't move much food, she said: "Okay, you know how to be measured, do less of these things in the future, go to dinner." โ
"Have you eaten?"
The little girl looked at her with concern.
Concubine Jing was stunned for a moment, and her temper couldn't be released, "Not yet, I'm about to go." โ
Bai Ying said sincerely: "Then you go quickly, it's not good to be hungry, and it's not good for your body to be angry." โ
Concubine Jing said unceremoniously: "If you do less to anger me, I won't always be angry." โ
Bai Ying: "......" She silently lowered her head, looking very self-reproachful and sad.
Concubine Jing was helpless, "Eat yours." Just as he was about to turn around, he remembered something, and said, "Two days later, on the birthday of the noble, I also invited Jingyu Palace, and when the time comes, you will go with me to join in the fun." โ
Bai Ying said "oh", and Concubine Jing stayed for a short time and went back to eat.
Concubine Jing was leaving, and Mama Shu would not stay, so she told Bai Ying a few words with concern, and Mama Shu followed.
Bai Ying was the only one left in the room, and she sat on the stool as if she had collapsed, and her originally straight back was loosened.
Take a long breath, it's dangerous, it's dangerous.
I was almost going to take out the white ribbon at that point!
Bai Ying's cold sweat was about to break out, fortunately she was lucky, otherwise she would have been discovered in a few seconds, how would she explain the lie at that time?
It definitely can't be so easy to bring in as much as facing the matter of giving the cutie to eat.
It's also her wit!
In such a short period of time, come up with a reason to feed it.
Bai Ying wiped the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, her stomach screamed at the right time, she was about to move her chopsticks to eat, the black cat went and returned, stood at the window, and called softly: "Meow~"
Bai Ying: "......" is angry when he sees it!
Typical scum among! Traitor! Escape faster than anyone else!
Bai Ying held her breath, took out the white belt, and said in a good voice: "Little cutie, help, send this to the original place...... If you're full, you're not full, so let's have some more braised pork ribs? โ
The last few words were quite gnashing of teeth, and the black cat proudly bit the white belt, shook its head, and left.
Cut! If it weren't for the fact that you served Uncle Ben well, who would still be rare with those ribs?
