Chapter 173: What to Do with Her Name?

Chi Yue went inside and went straight to find Young Lady Liu.

Mrs. Liu was talking and laughing with the second young lady of the Bai family, Miss Qian, and two other noble young women, when she saw Chi Yue walking towards her, she hurriedly greeted her, took Chi Yue's hand and said happily: "Chi Yue, when a noble concubine came back yesterday, no one mentioned it, only your name was mentioned." You are already famous in the capital! ”

Chi Yue was surprised, "The concubine mentioned me?" ”

She had never met Concubine Liu, what did she mention her name for?

Mrs. Liu knew that Chi Yue would have such a question, and pursed her lips and smiled, "Aunt only said that your brown sugar is excellent, she has been eating the brown sugar made in your workshop, her face has become more and more ruddy, and Gong Han's problem has gradually decreased, and I think there is also a credit to your brown sugar." When she comes back this time, in addition to visiting her mother's family, the person she wants to see the most is you. ”

Chi Yue suddenly realized that she had "met" this Liu Guifei who was far away in the capital through brown sugar.

"Come, I'll take you to see your aunt." Mrs. Liu couldn't help but say, took Chi Yue's hand and walked towards the main hall.

Concubine Liu is the sister of Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu is the mother of the two of them. Because Concubine Liu was born later, she is more than ten years younger than Mrs. Liu, and she looks about the same age as Gongzi Liu.

Since Concubine Liu was accepted into the palace by the emperor and her status has become stable and increasingly prominent, Master Liu has become the inverted son-in-law of this family, and his words are not as prestigious as Mrs. Liu.

Master Liu's original surname was Cheng, but he was just a little talent, so he was not very resistant to Mrs. Liu's insistence that he follow her family's surname, and he felt quite honored.

Since Master Liu changed his surname, Young Master Liu naturally changed his surname and called him Liu, and Mrs. Liu also followed suit.

Because this surname was changed to be quite unjustifiable, when Mrs. Liu heard someone mention this situation, she couldn't help but think crookedly, as if others were accusing and laughing at them. The problem of this cup of bow snake shadow has not been eradicated.

However, the moment she saw Concubine Liu, Young Lady Liu was able to accept this situation completely.

She has been married to the Liu family for five or six years, and it is not that she has never seen Concubine Liu, but at that time she had not been promoted to concubine, she was just an ordinary second lady of the Liu family, and she didn't seem to be outstanding.

This is the first time in three years that Liu Tan'er has returned to her parents' home after becoming a concubine.

When Mrs. Liu saw her this time, she felt that she had a new look and seemed to be a different person. has a noble temperament, and his every move reveals a royal demeanor, as if he was from a beautiful background.

Then there is a phoenix brocade robe woven with gold and silver threads, the bright phoenix crown is shining, the eyebrows are picturesque, Dai is like a distant mountain, and the powder face is full of majesty, like a queen on top.

Thinking back to Liu Tan'er three years ago, her behavior was still a little rude, and her dress was even more unbearable compared to this time, but she couldn't smell the slightest bit of dignity and prestige on her.

Coming to the side of Liu Guifei, who was sitting upright at the moment, people couldn't help but feel solemn and respectful, and trembled and chilled.

Liu Guifei was sitting at the top with Mrs. Liu, sipping tea and laughing, and the noble ladies on the side wanted to come forward to talk a few words, so as to be close to Liu Guifei, but obviously Liu Guifei didn't give them face, so they were embarrassed and retreated, and they couldn't get close.

Mrs. Liu said a few words to Concubine Liu yesterday, and when Concubine Liu mentioned Chi Yue in public, Mrs. Liu echoed and praised a few words by her side, and said that she would definitely bring Chi Yue to see her today, so that she dared to brazenly approach Concubine Liu and push Chi Yue to the front.

"Auntie, this is the boss of Chi Yuechi, I brought someone to you."

Liu Guifei raised her eyebrows, gently put down the teacup, and looked at Chi Yue with bright eyes.

Chi Yue bowed respectfully, lowered her eyebrows, and let Concubine Liu look up and down without being humble or arrogant.

Liu Guifei said with a smile: "This girl is very smart, at first glance she is smart and clever, no wonder King Rong also likes you very much, I would rather put my life on the battlefield to fight, but also insist on coming back here to camp and share weal and sorrow with you." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in all directions, and they all looked curiously over here.

Han Qi and Wen Jing had been paying attention to the movement here, and when they heard these words clearly, their faces suddenly turned blue.

Han Qi clenched Xiu's fist tightly, his body trembled slightly, and his heart became a mess.

Even Concubine Liu knew that King Rong liked Chi Yue? Could it be that King Rong once expressed his heart in front of the emperor or her? Or did Concubine Liu guess this in King Rong's words?

Not only did outsiders feel strange, but Chi Yue was also taken aback by this.

Gu Han likes her or not, and even she doesn't know herself, why did Liu Guifei swear that Gu Han fought on the battlefield for her? Didn't she know that if she spoke like this, she would make an enemy for Chi Yue?

couldn't help but glance at Han Qi not far away, seeing that her face was uncertain, there was a faint sense of anger, and she couldn't help wiping a cold sweat in her heart. She finally got away from Gu Han and got rid of this group of people who were eyeing her, but at this moment, because of a word, she was probably going to make these hungry wolves and tigers come back again.

Liu Guifei, Liu Guifei, did you come back specifically to defeat me?

Chi Yue was annoyed in her heart, but her face was not shocked, and she smiled and said: "The noble concubine Niangniang said that she was joking, King Rong fought on the battlefield, where is it for the people's daughters?" The folk girl and King Rong are just ordinary friends, and King Rong is busy with affairs now, and we haven't seen each other for a long time. King Rong said that he came back to Lingnan to station, just to study the serious matter of crop hybridization, could it be that what King Rong said to the emperor and queen and the concubine Niangniang is not different from this? ”

Hearing Chi Yue say this, Concubine Liu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Seeing Gu Han's insistence on coming back to Lingnan before, when she mentioned Chi Yue's appearance, as a woman, she intuitively felt that Gu Han was in love with Chi Yue, and she insisted on not being moved by Han Qi, and insisted on going to southern Xinjiang to fight on the battlefield, risking her life, and also coming to stay with Chi Yue.

But Chi Yue's speech didn't look like a lie, could it be that she was really clever and misunderstood Gu Han's original intention?

is not for the personal feelings of his children, but just to start and finish his official affairs well, then Gu Han can be described as a rare and good courtier of the Dasheng Kingdom and the great duke.

"I see." In order to avoid embarrassment, Concubine Liu raised the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said leisurely after a while, "What about this palace, if King Rong and you are affectionate and righteous, if you come, he will definitely come and give this scene to this palace." But almost everyone has arrived now, but he has not shown up for a long time, and he will not give this palace this face today. ”

In his words, he was quite dissatisfied.

Chi Yue knew Gu Han's temperament very well, and knew that he didn't like to participate in these noisy and boring parties. And Concubine Liu is just a concubine, and she probably doesn't have any weight in his eyes, so she won't come here.

Since she said that she did not have a deep friendship with King Rong, it was inconvenient to speak for him, so she was silent. Glancing at Han Qi again, I saw that the blue-black on her face had faded, and she looked like she was light and smiling again, and she secretly smacked her tongue in her heart. This woman is too fickle, isn't she?

For a man who tosses herself so much, her emotions are led away, so she shouldn't be such a little woman.

Seeing that Concubine Liu was silent, Chi Yue had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "I heard that Young Lady Liu said that you like the brown sugar made by the people's girl's workshop very much, and the people's girl is really happy to hear it." The things made by themselves can be appreciated by the concubine Niangniang, it is really a blessing for the three lives of the people's daughters, and the glory of a lifetime! I didn't bring brown sugar today, but I'll have someone send some later, so that you can enjoy it day and night. ”

Seeing Chi Yue complimenting her so much and being so intimate, Shicai's little festival was finally ignored by Concubine Liu, and she bowed slightly: "It's okay, in the past, I was used to drinking your brown sugar in the morning, and if I didn't drink it for a day, I felt sluggish and lacked something." It just so happens that the main palace didn't bring this thing either, so you can just ask someone to bring some. ”

Chi Yue hurriedly agreed.

Wen Jing on the side saw the situation, and knew that Chiyue was stammering with Concubine Liu? This little girl is one step faster than herself!

Wen Jing was unwilling, she was in a hurry, and pulled Li Qingqing, who was standing in front of Mrs. Li in the crowd, and did not communicate with anyone, but just coldly watched Mrs. Li talking and laughing with others, and whispered a few words in her ear, making Li Qingqing willing to go straight to Concubine Liu with her.

"Guifei Niangniang, do you say that only Miss Chi can make brown sugar? Our Baihua County is capable of producing many people, and she is not the only one who has the ability to please people's taste buds. No, this is Li Shangshu's niece Li Qingqing Miss Li, she is the big boss of Li's workshop, the workshop is bigger than Miss Chi's, and there are many more workers than Miss Chi's, as for brown sugar, the quality is also high, no one can match. Miss Li's brown sugar is not only sold locally, but also sold all over Kyushu, and the capital is full of brown sugar printed with 'Li's Workshop'. ”

Liu Guifei glanced at Li Qingqing and sneered: "You are the boss of the 'Li Workshop'?" Originally, the palace only ate the brown sugar of the Chi family's workshop, but the eunuchs and buyers on the side recommended that the palace must taste yours, and I was tired of hearing it, so I took it and tasted a piece, and only one piece was enough. ”

After a pause, she glanced at Chi Yue with a smile again, "It's still the one made by Miss Chi that is more in line with the taste of the palace, and I think that the sugarcane used to make sugar has become more superior than the local one after being hybridized, isn't it?" ”

Chi Yue smacked her tongue, this Liu Guifei's taste was really good.

She has not tasted the brown sugar in Li's workshop, and after careful boiling, the taste is also excellent. It's just that after Chi Yue crossed the sugarcane, the taste is more mellow, and in addition to the fragrant mouth, the most important thing is that there is less astringency, so that people can't find any fault.

If you are an ordinary person, whether you soak the brown sugar in water and drink it, or mix it into porridge and eat it, you can't notice the subtlety of it.

Probably the delicacies enjoyed by Concubine Liu are all the best of the best, and her taste buds are very tricky, so she can scoff at the brown sugar made by Li's workshop, and she doesn't pay much attention to the brown sugar that Gu Han originally made.

When Chi Yue was secretly proud, she glanced at Li Qingqing's fierce gaze at the snake and scorpion, and suddenly became smart.

It seems that some people, if you don't provoke her, she will also think about you.
