"Big girl, fourth girl, this is this year's freshly ripened lychee, which was just sent from the Zhuangzi where our wife married, and I invite the two girls to try it." Zhihui smiled and pointed to the two baskets of lychees, and praised how juicy and sweet the lychees were.

"The third aunt has a heart, and Miss Zhihui thanked the third aunt for our sisters." Duanmujun, who was sitting on an Arhat bed, said with a smile, elegant and generous.

Mama Zhang took out a red envelope and rewarded Zhihui, and led Zhihui out.

Today's Zhanqing Courtyard is like a city, Zhihui has just left on the front foot, and Mama Zhang on the back foot has brought in the big girl Xia Fu next to the He family, and Xia Fu is naturally sent by the He family to pass the word.

"The eldest girl, the fourth girl, Mrs. Tai asked the two girls to enter the palace with her old man in two days to greet the concubine."

After sending Charf away, the room was finally quiet.

The two sisters have been in Beijing for three years, because they have been guarding filial piety in Duanmu Mansion, and they have never seen their noble aunt Duanmu Guifei, this time, He suddenly proposed to take them into the palace at this time, which is obviously related to today's holy decree, or rather, to Cen Yin.

This time I entered the palace to find out the news, and I brought the two sisters with me, and it was also to express to the emperor that the Duanmu family respected everything with holy will and would never treat their sisters lightly.

The corners of Duanmu's mouth were slightly upturned, and Duanmu Jun was not idle, and instructed Wisteria to put the lychees that Zhihui had just sent on the table, and beckoned to his sister: "Zhenzhen, eat some lychees." ”

The shell of this lychee is thin and crisp, and the flesh under the shell is like clotted fat, sweet and juicy, and it is like honey in the mouth, and the whole body is comfortable.

Since receiving the holy decree in the morning, Duanmujun has been in a good mood. First, the father who died in the city was posthumously awarded the title by the emperor, and the father must be happy in the spirit of the sky; Second, the grandfather made up his mind to take away the right to feed the second aunt, which is bound to have the effect of killing a hundred people, and the wind direction in the house will also change in the future, and the life of the two sisters should be much better.

The sisters ate a plate of lychees together in one go, and they didn't dare to eat more for fear that the lychees would be easy to get angry if they ate them.

After the two cleaned their hands, Mama Zhang, who was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, came in again, took a gift slip and presented it to Duanmujun, and said, "Big girl, the thank you gifts for the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion have been prepared, and you can take a look at this gift list." ”

After Duanmujun looked at it carefully, he handed it to his sister again.

Yesterday they stayed overnight in the princess's mansion, but whether it was when they arrived or when they left this morning, the eldest princess of Anping did not see them, Anping's behavior seemed to be a little lonely and arrogant, however, Duanmujun didn't care, last night Anping asked them to prepare new clothes, bedding, toiletries, and the maids who came to serve were even more thoughtful, all kinds of details made Duanmujun feel that the eldest princess of Anping was a very gentle and meticulous elder, which was completely different from the arrogance and imperiousness in the rumors in Beijing.

In the middle of his thoughts, Duanmu Jun heard his sister's crisp voice in his ears: "Sister." ”

Duanmujun raised his eyebrows and looked at Duanmufei, Duanmufei opened his dark eyes, and said, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was so thoughtful last night, let's make some snacks and give them to Your Highness." ”

Duanmu Jun was stunned, thinking about it, the princess's mansion has everything, no matter how heavy the gifts they give, it doesn't make much sense, it is better to give a few more hand-made food gifts.

Duanmu Jun was interested and said, "Zhen Zhen, what do you say we should do?" ”

The two sisters discussed with great interest, although the cream fried cake, bean paste and sesame ball, and snowflake corn roast were easy to make, but the skin would not be soft after a long time; Donkeys rolling are glutinous rice, I'm afraid it's not easy to restrain them; Sheep's eye buns and jujube paste yam cakes are always a little inferior when they are cold......

"Kidney bean rolls!" Duanmu Jun had an idea, "Zhen Zhen, shall we make kidney bean rolls?" "Kidney bean rolls are delicious even when they're cold.

Duanmu Fei answered crisply and loudly, and the sisters went to the kitchen together.

At this time, the emperor rewarded the deceased lord and the two sisters for saving the car The news has long been spread in the mansion, and Mama Ma, who is in charge of the kitchen, immediately came to greet her in person, and as soon as she heard that the two sisters were going to make kidney bean rolls, she sent the daughter-in-law with the best dim sum skills in the kitchen to help.

"Zhenzhen, I'll handle the kidney beans, and you will make the red bean paste."

Duanmu Jun divided the work for the two, told Duanmu in detail the practices and precautions of the crimson bean paste, and asked her to repeat it, and the sisters got busy separately.

The practice of kidney bean rolls is not difficult, that is, it takes a little time, you have to first grind the white kidney beans into crushed beans and remove the bean skin, which is a delicate work, but the daughter-in-law in the kitchen does this on weekdays, and with her help, the first step is quickly completed.

After that, the watercress should be boiled and then steamed, and then scraped into remedies.

While Duanmujun was busy, he didn't forget to take care of his sister's side, reminding him from time to time:

"Zhenzhen, are the red beans boiled and soft?"

"Zhenzhen, then sift and remove the bean skin."

"Zhenzhen, pay attention to stirring the red bean paste carefully, so as not to paste the pot."

"Zhenzhen, you can put sugar osmanthus and honey."

“……”

Of course, Duanmu Fei knew how to make kidney bean rolls, but he could only respond obediently, nodding like pounding garlic. Taking advantage of Duanmujun's lack of attention, she quietly added some more sesame seeds to the pot, and then continued to stir the wooden spoon as if nothing had happened.

A sweet and silky fragrance spread in the kitchen with the hot white gas, licking the bottom of the pot, and the red bean paste that had been cooked very thick was "gurgling" in the pot, spitting small bubbles, fragrant.

In the last step, you only need to wrap the red bean paste in the flattened kidney bean puree and roll it into long rolls, then cut it into sections, and the kidney bean roll is ready.

The kidney bean roll is very small and exquisite, but the longan is big, just one bite, the color is like snow, the middle is wrapped with red and heavy bean paste, red and white, like the plum blossoming in the heavy snow, a sweet osmanthus fragrance overflows, just look at it and smell it, it makes the mouth salivate.

Duanmu Fei twisted a piece by hand and sent it to his mouth, only to feel sweet and refreshing, melt in the mouth, the fresh sweetness of osmanthus and sesame seeds seems to penetrate into the pastry, soft and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless.

"Sister, it's delicious!" Duanmu Fei's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he stroked his palms and boasted, "Do we have all the color and fragrance?" ”

Looking at his sister's cute little appearance, Duanmu Jun couldn't help but laugh and rubbed the top of his sister's hair.

Duanmujun instructed Mama Zhang to go to the princess's mansion in person and send the freshly made kidney bean rolls and other thank-you gifts.

The sun went down, and the day passed.

The next day, the He family specially opened the warehouse, took a lot of things and sent them to Zhanqing Courtyard, and only said that Duanmu and Duanmu were filial piety, and the room could no longer be so plain and pure.

On the third day, the third lady, Tang, sent some new materials, and instructed the sewing room to come and tailor the clothes for the sisters and buy some jewelry.

This series of movements made the Zhanqing Courtyard feel new, and the whole house, including the newly bought slaves and maids of the Zhanqing Academy, knew that this time was different from the past.
