After the ministers dispersed, the congratulatory gifts were sent to the Shengwang Mansion one after another. The gold and jade silk rewarded by Emperor Jianlong, the one-foot-high jade carved ginger tooth statue given by the Queen Mother, the gold ingots sent by King Yi, and the jade pillow sent by King Tanjun of the former dynasty...... Even the eldest prince Changjun Wang, who had been thinking about it behind closed doors, also sent someone to send a set of Hunan pens over, and the liveliness of the Shengwang Mansion was no less than when he married Emperor Jianlong two months ago.

Wang Quantong, the housekeeper of the Shengwang Mansion, and Shuang Cheng, the aunt of the housekeeper, commanded the subordinates in the palace to record these valuables one by one and put them into storage.

"Third master, the father-in-law of Qingxin from Chonghua Palace has arrived." Mu Kai ran in happily, they had been waiting for a long time, and Concubine Hua's congratulatory gift had finally arrived.

The third master's gaze moved away from the neatly placed and pleasing gold ingots sent by the second brother, "Please." ”

The subordinates follow the master, Hua Concubine doesn't like to talk much, and the subordinates of Chonghua Palace don't talk much. It is a big day like today, and the great eunuch Qingxin who came to send the joy just raised the delicate cardboard box with a smile on his face, "Niangniang heard that the Holy Lord Xu Wang Ye entered the cabinet, and she was very happy, and she specially ordered Qingxin to send this book to you." ”

The third master took it with both hands, opened the box and saw the word "mean" on the cover, and knew that it was written by the mother concubine. He entered the cabinet at a young age, and then his every move was noticed by Emperor Jianlong and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, so he should be more low-key and diligent.

"What did the concubine say?"

Qingxin shook his head, "Niangniang is happy, I don't know what to say." ”

I didn't say anything. The mother's happiness should not be as much as worrying, and what she is worried about The third master also understands in his heart, "Tomorrow, Yan Sheng will go to Chonghua Palace to thank his mother for her book." ”

A smile immediately appeared on Qingxin's white and beardless face, and it could be seen that he was really happy.

The third master looked at the eunuch in front of him who didn't say much, was loyal to his mother, and was able to deal with the palaces, and his tone softened, "Father-in-law, sit down, the weather has been getting hot recently, is the concubine's sleeping food okay?" ”

Qingxin didn't dare to sit, and stood respectfully and replied, "Niangniang listened to your advice, and since last month, she has stopped reading or painting at night, eating and sleeping regularly, and her body is healthy." ”

"Has the concubine asked the imperial dining room to make fried rice balls recently?" The third master is concerned about Hua Concubine's physical condition, fried noodles are fried pastries, and they are snacks in the mother's hometown, but this thing is not easy to restrain and easy to accumulate food if you eat too much.

Qingxin nodded, "Father-in-law Qian remembered Niangniang's dietary preferences, and personally sent a plate the night before yesterday, and Niangniang ate two, which is also thanks to you." ”

King Sheng called the eunuch Qian An, the head of the imperial dining room, a while ago, and since then, Qian An is particularly interested in Chonghua Palace, and now Chonghua Palace is the palace with the most exquisite meals in addition to the Holy Yishou Palace, the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, and the Queen's Yongfu Palace. This is not to say that the delicacies of the mountains and seas are delicacies every day, but that the imperial dining room remembers the taste of the master in the palace, and makes dishes and soups with special care.

This Qian An is really a discerning person. The third master asked again, "I met a few Chaozhou merchants in Dengzhou a few days ago, and when I heard them chatting, I mentioned that spilling tea on the oil balls can get rid of the oil, and my father-in-law can tell the imperial dining room to try it." ”

Qingxin bowed and saluted, "What the prince said is very true. This is indeed the local method of eating oil in Chaozhou, Qingxin has told Father-in-law Qian, so the oil glutinous rice balls eaten by Niangniang are sprinkled with white leaves and broken from tea, and Niangniang eats it very appetizing. ”

"White Leaf Single?" The third master seemed puzzled.

Qingxin's smile was more nostalgic, "It is a kind of tea that you sent to Chaozhou Tuyi a year ago, this tea is unique to Chaozhou, the taste is mellow, the aftertaste at the bottom of the throat is sweet and fresh, and it is the most suitable to make oil tea crushed." Before Qingxin entered the palace, he also ate the oil cake sprinkled with this tea crush, and he never forgot the taste for many years. So when I saw the tea you sent, Qingxin had the courage to send some to the imperial dining room, and asked Father-in-law Qian to sprinkle some when cooking oil, and ask my mother to use it. ”

This is still the longest time that the third master has heard Qingxin say for so many years, he nodded, "It's crooked, Quan Tong went to see if there was still this tea in the curry, and let my father-in-law take it back." ”

The housekeeper Wang Quantong brought a large box of tea after a while, and Qingxin was shocked, "Lord Wang, you don't need so much." ”

Wang Quantong said with a smile, "This box looks big, in fact, there are not a few catties of tea, they were all sent by Chaozhou last year, and my father-in-law can give away those who can't use them when they bring them back, right?" Father-in-law doesn't have to cherish it, after two days, this year's new tea should arrive. ”

Qingxin took it at this time, and Wang Quantong personally sent it out of Shengwang's mansion.

The third master looked at his slightly clumsy back and was silent. Mu Kai smiled and said, "It seems that Qingxin's father-in-law really likes this tea, and the third master sees how tightly he hugs him." "Today, I received a lot of gifts, and the housekeeper was so happy to send things out, I'm afraid that the warehouse is not enough.

The third master glanced at the gold sent by the second brother on the table, and ordered, "Connect these, pack all the gold and silver in the treasury, and send it to the first village." ”

"What kind of village did the third master say?" Mu Kai suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

Xuan San glanced at him, "I think you are raising Wang Ba to raise yourself stupidly, First Zhuang!" "Didn't Mu Kai notice it at all, because he was not respectful enough to Miss Xiaonuan, so he had gradually changed from the third master's personal servant to a person who specialized in raising Wang Ba?

Mu Kai's eyes widened, "Third Master, Lord Xuan bullies people!" ”

The third master ignored him, got up and went to the study. Mu Kai touched his head in surprise, why was he suddenly unhappy if he wasn't okay? Xuan San quickly followed in, closed the door and said, "Third master, what should Qingxin do?" ”

Since Miss Xiao Nuan said that Qingxin might have a problem, Xuan San sent someone to Chaozhou to carefully check Qingxin's life experience, and there was no suspicion, but just now he showed his feet, just because of this white leaf single oil.

According to the news obtained from the investigation a few days ago, it is indeed the way to eat tea in Chaozhou, but this kind of tea was only available in Pingxi, the hometown of Hua Concubine Niangniang, 20 years ago, and in recent years, the white leaf has become more famous, and this way of eating has spread in Chaozhou. Qingxin is a native of Gaotang, Chaozhou, and he entered the palace 20 years ago, according to the information found, he should not have had the opportunity to eat snacks in Pingxi, more than 100 miles away.

Little Nuan girl is really a god! But none of the people she thinks are problematic are clean! Xuan San clenched his fists, Xiao Nuan girl can catch fish and distinguish good and bad people, she can be called a genius. We must let the third master marry her in as soon as possible, and when there is a little warm girl to increase the Huangzhen mansion, Shengwangfu will become the most stable place in the capital.

"Don't touch him yet." The third master looked down at the book in his hand, Qingxin was an old man who had served by his mother's side for many years, and he had to let his mother make up his mind whether to go or stay. Xiao Nuan just said that Qingxin looks like a story, and when people are middle-aged, which one can have no story? As long as he is faithful enough.

On the morning of the second day, when the third master went to Chonghua Palace to ask for peace, he mentioned the matter to his mother. Concubine Hua was also calm when she heard this, "He has something to hide from his life experience, there should be something unspeakable." He has not betrayed the Lord in the past ten years, and it is even more impossible for him to betray the Lord after you enter the cabinet. ”

This is also true, the third master asked again, "Erchen will send you a competent eunuch to serve again?" ”

Her son has just joined the cabinet, and she will add people here, which will only attract jealousy, the last thing Hua Concubine wants is to be eye-catching, "It is enough for me to have Hua Yu by my side, after you enter the cabinet, you should focus on the holy will, and you can't ......"
