Chapter 225: Chrysanthemum Cake

Seeing that Aunt Su Mala's words were sincere, Huai Sleeve felt warm in his heart, and nodded with a smile. At this time, a little palace maid came, and Aunt Su Mala asked the palace maid to bring the dim sum and flower hoe back to the Buddhist hall.

"The old ancestor is having leisure at this time, let's go in." After that, he led his sleeves and crescent moon to the Dongnuan Pavilion in the apse of Cining Palace.

Su Malagu smiled as she walked, "When the ancestor told me about you yesterday, I also said that I was free that day, and I went to see your new pavilion. ”

Huai Sleeve smiled lightly: "I look forward to my aunt coming, I have the heart to invite, but I am afraid that my aunt will be busy with cooking things on weekdays." ”

When the two of them chatted, they had arrived in front of the door of the Dongnuan Pavilion, although Zhuqing had a good relationship with Huai Sleeve in the past, but now he saw Huai Sleeve, who was already a princess teacher, and he also needed to bow on his knees.

Because he saw the deceased, he still felt more intimate than others, and nodded with a smile with Zhuqing.

The three of them lifted the curtain and entered the warm pavilion of the east chamber, and Xiaozhuang sat alone on the warm kang under the window, leaning on the brocade pillow with his back, and reading the scriptures with a magnifying glass with silver wire trim.

Xiaozhuang raised his eyes and saw Su Malagu leading her sleeves and crescent moon in, put the scriptures and magnifying glass on the kang table and said with a smile: "Hey! The pregnant girl can't stand the chatter, I just talked about you with Sister Man yesterday, and you will come by yourself today. ”

Huai Zhi Xiaozhuang likes to tease boring children, and said with a smile: "I have soft ears, where can I withstand the chatter of my ancestors?" ”

After that, he first took the scripture and handed it to Xiaozhuang and said, "This is my newly copied scripture." ”

Xiaozhuang took it, didn't open it and looked at it, and wondered: "Haven't you already copied and translated the "Ten Good Karma Tao Sutras"? Why did you copy it again? ”

Huai Sleeve smiled and replied: "The "Ten Good Karma Sutras" that you asked me to translate have indeed been copied, and this one is the "Ranga Sutra". ”

"Oh?" Xiaozhuang opened it and looked at a few lines, and sure enough, it was the "Ranga Sutra", and asked suspiciously: "I already have this scripture, why do you copy another one?" ”

Huai Sleeve nodded: "I know that the ancestors have, but I occasionally glanced at it that day, the original old font is not only small and not very clear, I think you should be very difficult to read, so I copied another one, this book is similar to the font size of the previous "Ten Good Karma Tao Sutra", it looks more relaxed. ”

Xiaozhuang smiled and pointed to Su Malagu and said, "I said that this kid is extremely meticulous, and it's really good!" I can't complain that everyone will see it. ”

Su Malagu also smiled and replied: "Can the people who came out of the ancestor be wrong?" ”

When the crescent moon saw Xiaozhuang's boasting sleeves, she smiled and went around to the edge of the kang, sat down next to Xiaozhuang, and said coquettishly: "Since the ancestor knows how to be a person, he will also be like a master!" ”

Xiaozhuang smiled: "You are the same as your sixth uncle, you are all monkeys, others teach you a heart, you yourself turned out ten or eight, I can't teach you, or call your master ** you go." ”

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

The crescent moon pursed her lips and said, "According to what the ancestor said, aren't the hearts of me and the sixth uncle full of holes?" ”

Everyone laughed more and more when they heard this, and at this time, a palace maid offered tea, and Aunt Su Mala and Huai Sleeve also sat down.

Huai sleeve handed over the dim sum to the tea maid, instructed to serve it on the plate, and when the palace maid went, she turned back with the tray and put the dim sum on the small kang table in front of Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang saw that the dim sum was crystal clear, and the rose-red pastry was sprinkled with snow-white iced coconut, and the shape was just like a red plum blossom, and he couldn't help but admire: "This makes people willing to eat it, so that they can give birth to delicate things." ”

Xiaozhuang looked at it, looked up and asked Huai Sleeve to ask: "What kind of dim sum is this?" It's so cute. ”

Huai Sleeve said truthfully: "This is called chrysanthemum glutinous, which evolved from the famous dim sum chrysanthemum cake in Meixian County. ”

Xiaozhuang was puzzled and asked: "If I remember correctly, this Meixian County is far away in the land of Liangguang, I remember that the year before last, the Lord Long Live Zhou Peigong was the minister of the Qin mission to go to Liangguang to go to Liangguang, and when I came back to report on my work, I happened to be there, so I asked about the customs of that place, I only remember that he said that the place is very far away, how can you also make dim sum over there?" ”

It turned out that this dim sum was specially taught to Dongguo Gege by her master Wu Hancha when he was making a western seat in the General's Mansion, and it was later passed on to Huai Sleeve.

But at this time, Wu Hancha was still being tortured in Ningguta, and at this moment, in front of the Empress Dowager, he must not say the name of the master.

Huai sleeve smiled: "Ama once fought in the south with the army when he entered the customs from the dragon, and he knew an idle writer, and later that person came to visit Ama in the northern camp of Xinjiang, and when he lived in the house, he passed on the practice of this pastry to my grandmother, and I learned it later." ”

Xiaozhuang nodded, tasted a piece, the taste is sweet and soft, slightly mixed with the cool and elegant aroma of chrysanthemums, it is very useful.

A few people tasted tea for a while, and the sleeves came for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and they were about to mention it, Xiaozhuang first asked: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will go with me and Sister Man to join in the fun!" ”

Huai sleeve put down the tea cup, and said with a light smile: "The Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a reunion night, the ancestor and the long live lord set up a family banquet, it is not appropriate for the slave and maid to go, I think I still don't go." ”

Before the words fell, Xiaozhuang waved his hand and said: "What kind of palace banquet and family banquet, not these people in the Guang Palace, there are many people who came that day, except for the princes and kings Beizi Baylor, most of the Beijing officials who were released are rushing back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor must be summoned to the palace to celebrate the festival, what does it mean to just us?" ”

When the crescent moon heard the Mid-Autumn Festival, she became excited first, and hurriedly said: "What the ancestor said is right! On that day, there were not only singing and dancing, but also what burned incense, tree Mid-Autumn Festival, lighting tower lanterns, putting sky lanterns, walking the moon, dancing fire dragons, etc., and finally there was the emperor's uncle and father who took us to worship the moon, cut lotus flowers, we can also make our own river lanterns to put, a lot of fun, but lively! ”

Xiaozhuang smiled and said: "Look at this monkey's unchanging appearance, as soon as he talks about playing, he immediately comes to the spirit, he is really the same as your sixth uncle when he was a child!" ”

The crescent moon pouted when she heard the last sentence: "I'm not the same as the sixth uncle!" ”

Xiaozhuang turned the topic back, looked at his sleeves with a kind smile and said: "You just said that the Mid-Autumn Festival was originally a reunion festival, since the reunion festival, you can't go out of the palace to reunite with your family, what's the meaning of being alone in the house?" It's better to follow us to relieve time, and not to be too homesick. ”

Xiaozhuang's words just said that the heart of the sleeve, the festival is approaching, and the mood of homesickness is also increasing every day.

Huai Sleeve originally wanted to worship the moon god alone in the palace that day to bless the safety of his family, but now that he heard Xiaozhuang say this, he felt inappropriate to refuse, so he had to go with him that day.

Aunt Su Mala understood Huai Sleeve's temperament, and knew that she didn't like to deal with those royal relatives and magnates, as well as the harem concubines, so she smiled lightly and said kindly: "Huai Yatou must have felt that there were so many noisy people that day, and she was used to being quiet every day. ”
