The days passed peacefully and without waves.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, after getting out of boudoir school, Duanmujun and Duanmufei wrapped zongzi together.

This busy is a full two hours, the sisters deliberately made a variety of flavors of zongzi, sweet and salty, sweet such as eight treasure zongzi, candied date brown, pine nut zongzi, lotus seed zongzi, salty such as mushroom pork belly zongzi, bacon sausage zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, etc., different flavors wrapped with different colors of coarse cotton thread to distinguish, Duanmufei also quietly added some seasoning to the filling prepared by Duanmu, and the two wrapped two baskets.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, early in the morning, Duanmujun ordered someone to send out the boiled zongzi one by one, and the zongzi on He's side were personally delivered by the sisters in the morning and dusk.

"Sister Jun, Sister Scarlet, you two have a heart, grandmother knows that you are filial." He looked at the two of them with a smile, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and ordered the maid on the side to peel a zongzi immediately.

This is a shiitake mushroom pork belly dumpling, and when the skin of the rice dumpling is peeled off, the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms, fresh meat, and reed leaves that are the skin of the rice dumplings spreads throughout the house, making people salivate.

After He took a small bite, he rinsed his mouth with tea, and praised the zongzi with a smile, praising the deliciousness of the zongzi, and praising the sisters' ingenuity, a warm scene of Zuci and Sun filial piety, and their happiness, listening to the other people in the room with different expressions, and Duanmuqi's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink, and his little face was half drooping.

"Thank you grandmother for compliment." Duanmu Jun blessed his body with a smile, "Hearing what my grandmother said, my granddaughter also has the confidence to send it out as a gift." ”

He wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked, "Who else did you give this zongzi?" She just asked casually, after these two girls came to the capital, they were filial piety, and after the filial piety period expired, they rarely went out, who could they recognize.

Duanmu Jun answered them one by one.

Naturally, all the rooms in the house were sent, and in addition, they also ordered someone to send some to the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion and Cen's Mansion.

When he heard the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Anping, the He family was already frowning slightly, and when he heard the Cen Mansion again, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked again: "Which Cen Mansion?" She had a vague premonition in her heart.

Duanmu Jun replied as a matter of course: "Back to grandmother, it's the mansion of the little prince of Cen." ”

Characters like Cen Zhenxing and Cen Yin are naturally not ordinary eunuch chamberlains, they have the emperor's mansion outside the palace, and most of the time they go out of the palace to rest except for the days when they are on duty in the palace.

It's really Cen Yin! He's face almost didn't freeze, and he instinctively wanted to reprimand the two sisters for being bold, but he still suppressed his anger.

Of course, Duanmu Fei saw the innocence in He's expression, and smiled casually, innocent.

Sending zongzi to Yuyin was Duanmu's idea.

Duanmu Fei was also a little surprised when he first heard it.

Although she has only been with Duanmujun for more than two months, Duanmufei can see that her sister may have grown up at the border, and she has the straightforwardness of the children of Jiangmen, she definitely didn't think too much about it, she just felt that Cen Yin had helped their sisters, and she kindly sent herself back in the palace last time, so she really wanted to thank each other.

Because of this, Duanmu Fei did not stop it.

For a person of Cen Yin's status, it is just right to send some zongzi at the right time, whether the other party accepts it or not, it is always right.

The atmosphere in the room was also a little strange, and the other Duanmu family members all looked at each other secretly, listening to Duanmu's meaning, did the two sisters deliberately give a festival gift to the attendant who came to issue the decree that day?!

He's heart was in turmoil, his eyes flickered, and he hastily dismissed all the people in the house.

Everyone naturally felt the irritability between He's expressions, and retired one after another, Duanmuqi was in a better mood, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he glanced at Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei mockingly, and said in his heart: Grandmother has the heart to make faces for them, but unfortunately, some people can't support the wall with mud, and they displeases their grandmother!

Soon, only the He family was left in the house, and the He family beckoned and instructed the big girl: "You go to the front yard and watch, and when the old lady returns home, invite someone immediately." ”

Immediately after, she beckoned Mama You to the front again, "You go check ......"

Everything that should have been done was done, but He was still restless and restless...... It wasn't until more than halfway through the hour that Duanmuxian finally returned to the palace, still wearing court clothes.

"Old lady......" As soon as He saw Duanmuxian, he couldn't wait to tell the Duanmujun sisters about sending zongzi to Cen Yin's mansion without authorization, as if complaining, and as if complaining, "These two girls are too rampant, and this kind of big thing will not be discussed with me first......"

Duanmu Xian sat on the Luohan bed and slowly stroked the beard on his chin, and was silent for a long time before he opened his lips and said, "Amin, do you know who Sister Wei sent to Cen Mansion?" Cen Yinke accepted it? ”

Before Duanmuxian came back, the He family asked Mama You to inquire about these things, and immediately replied: "It was Mama Zhang who personally sent it to Cen Yin's mansion on Wenxin Street, and the porter accepted it." ”

Duanmuxian was silent again, picked up the teacup and blew the floating leaves on the tea soup, and half-lowered his eyes.

Since the He family entered the palace that day, the next day he prepared a heavy gift according to what his daughter said and sent it to Cen Mansion, but he was still stopped by the porter, but the zongzi sent by the Duanmujun sisters were easily sent in.

He took a sip of hot tea, put down the teacup again, and said meaningfully, "This is a good thing." ”

Although the zongzi sent to Cen Mansion today were given by the Duanmu Jun sisters, in the eyes of outsiders, Cen Yin received the festival gift from Duanmu Mansion. Before, because he offended Cen Yin, the civil and military officials in the court were also human spirits, and they all had a sense of respect for him and looked at him coldly, but now Cen Yin has accepted the gift of Duanmu Mansion, and the situation will definitely improve in the future.

However, after all, this zongzi is too light, and it is just right to make up for a heavy gift.

Duanmu Xian squinted slightly, and said, "Amin, you let someone open the treasury and send that jade unicorn to Cen Yin's mansion." ”

"Old lady," He said hesitantly, "in case...... What if Cen Yin refuses to accept it? ”

"Cen Yin will definitely accept it this time." Duanmu Xian stroked his beard and said affirmatively.

Duanmuxian has read countless people, how can he not know what kind of person Cen Yin is, people like Cen Yin only have power, interests and money in their eyes, how can they take Duanmujun and Duanmufei's orphan girl to heart!

In the past few days, he has quietly made a lot of convenience for Cen Yin, but Cen Yin has not expressed his position, and today can be regarded as accepting the zongzi, which must be a signal released by him - Cen Yin is finally willing to gently raise his hand to let go of the last time.

Therefore, if they give a heavy gift this time, Cen Yin will definitely accept it!

"Old lady, it's good that you know it in your heart." The corners of He's mouth finally became a little smiling, and the boulder in his heart fell.

Duanmuxian picked up the teacup and took another sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "You find a safe way to run to the Cen Mansion, this time there can't be any more mistakes......" After a pause, Duanmu Xian slowly added, "Liu Shoufu is about to ...... Shi."

Shoufu Zhishi.

This news was like a thunderclap on the ground, which made He's whole body tremble slightly, his pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at Duanmu Xian without blinking, his eyes showed anticipation, "Old lady, what do you mean ......?"

There was no prime minister in the Dasheng Dynasty, more than 100 years ago, after Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he issued an order to change the official system of the previous dynasty, abolish the prime minister, and set up a cabinet.

Duanmu Xian rubbed the teacup with his fingertips and continued: "With my qualifications, I should still be in contention...... Cen Yin is deeply trusted and respected by the emperor, as long as he is willing to say a word for me, he is better than anything! ”

Hearing this, He's eyes brightened, and his blood was boiling. Yes, Duanmuxian is the secretary of the household department of the current dynasty, and he is an important minister of the two dynasties, and he is highly valued by today......

There is a way, and all are prosperous. Once Duanmu Xian can become the first assistant, it will also be of great benefit to the concubine and the eldest prince!

"Old lady, I'll let people open the warehouse!" He said hurriedly.

Duanmu Xian nodded slightly, as if he had thought of something, and reminded meaningfully: "Amin, next month is your birthday......

He Shi was stunned, and immediately reacted, and quickly calculated in his heart, "I will draw up a list of banquets for you to see as soon as possible." ”

Originally, because this year's birthday was not a birthday, she didn't plan to do it in a big way, but now it's different, they can take the opportunity of the birthday banquet to invite Cen Yin to come over and test the style.

Duanmuxian didn't say anything more, picked up the teacup, and gently skimmed the floating tea leaves with the tea lid.

The sun outside is hanging high in the air, it is already noon at this moment, the scorching sun is shining on the earth, shrouding the entire capital in a golden halo, and the air is filled with a strong festive atmosphere, but the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping is not, the mansion is as quiet as usual to almost deserted.

"Your Highness, the eldest girl and the fourth girl of Duanmu Mansion ordered someone to send zongzi over." The palace maid Yue said to the beautiful woman who was sitting by the window and playing chess against the chess game, "It was said that the two girls made it by themselves." ”

The eldest princess of Anping looked like she was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a lilac-colored honeysuckle placket, an underpainted moonflower skirt below, a black and fluffy green silk pulled a loose girl, and only inserted a white jade hairpin with eight treasure clusters.

Her appearance is charming and bright, her temperament is noble and elegant, like a blooming peony flower, and she reveals a kind of arrogance of a proud woman in the sky between a smile and a smile.

Anping unhurriedly dropped a white seed on the quirkwood chessboard, and his neatly trimmed nails shone with a delicate luster like pearl shells.

She looked at Ziyue with some surprise and raised her eyebrows, "It turned out to be those two little girls!" ”

Ziyue smiled and opened the food box in her hand a little, revealing the zongzi placed in it, which was still steaming hot.

Looking at the zongzi in the food box, Anping couldn't help but think of the thank you gift sent by the pair of sisters last month in order to thank them for their kindness that night, among which she was most impressed by the kidney bean rolls made by the sisters, and this time the two little girls specially sent the hand-wrapped zongzi, but they had a heart!

The corners of An Ping's mouth were slightly upturned, and a slight smile flashed in his eyes, which was bright and moving.

Seeing that the eldest princess seemed to be in a good mood, Ziyue said again: "The person who gave the gift said that the two girls didn't know the tastes of His Highness, so they simply made some of each flavor and tied different colored threads to mark it. Ziyue took out another note from her sleeve and read, "The red line is bean paste dumplings, the orange thread is egg yolk dumplings, and the colorful thread wraps eight treasure zongzi......"

An Ping put down the chess game, and his expression was a little more interesting, these two little girls not only have a heart, but also a delicate heart.

An Ping was about to tell Ziyue to peel a zongzi for her, when she heard the voice of someone outside the house saluting: "Childe, Your Highness is in the East Room." ”

Almost the next moment, he heard the sound of the curtain being raised, and An Ping couldn't help but look in the direction of the Xiangfei curtain with a happy face, and his expression softened a lot.
