Text Chapter 209: Wu Yi
In a blink of an eye, it was the Bailu Festival on the eighth day of the first month of August, Wu Er collected the "Ten Kinds of White" early, and asked the kitchen to buy a black-bone white-haired chicken back, and simmered it together in a casserole.
Wu Er, this girl, people are timid and afraid, and everything she does is submissive, but when she was working in the flower garden of Xichangbo Mansion, there was an old lady in charge who was good at cooking some medicinal food, Wu Er was diligent, studious, and often gave the old woman a hand. After coming to Yi'er's side, I tried to cook a few medicinal meals for Yi'er to try, Yi'er liked it very much, so she simply let her follow Mama Wang on weekdays, and served in the kitchen more, not to mention, this girl has come to Yi'er here, she is much more cheerful, and she also likes to study, and she has made a lot of medicinal food recipes out, so that she looks decent.
At this time, seeing that Yi'er was in a hurry, he smiled and said: "Miss has to wait a little longer, this white-haired chicken is an old hen, I am afraid that this kung fu has not been stewed yet, and the ten kinds of white must be fully boiled before the medicinal properties can be completely exuded, and the slave and maid estimate that they will have to wait for another half an hour to say less." ”
Yi'er said: "What more than half an hour?" So long? But the fragrance is already very strong, so you can scoop a small bowl of soup for me first. ”
Wu'er couldn't survive Yi'er, so she had to take a small bowl of chicken soup to Yi'er, Yi'er waited for the soup to be cold, drank it in small sips, praised the fragrance, and quipped: "Forget it, I still go out and wait, stay here and smell the fragrance, I can only watch, I can't eat, and I am even more scratchy." ”
In the end, Yi'er didn't eat this pot of simmered chicken with white dew at all, but it was cheaper than Tan Chen.
This guy seemed to have stepped on a meal, and when he came in, he happened to see Wu'er with chicken soup, so he waved his hand, unceremoniously brought over three bites and ate it cleanly, and after eating a bowl, he shouted "not enough, more".
Wu Er was helpless, and saw that Yi'er nodded, so he brought it up with the casserole, Tan Chen didn't want anyone to wait, he scooped up the casserole from the casserole and ate it, and finally directly took the casserole and poured it into the bowl.
Wu Er was very distressed when she saw that Yi'er hadn't tasted a bite, but Yi'er obviously saw that something was wrong with Tan Chen today, as if she was holding back her anger, so she motioned to Wu Er to put away the casserole, dishes and chopsticks.
After Wu'er retreated, she asked, "Who offended the prince today and let the prince come to me to be angry?" ”
Tan Chen snorted and said, "Just drink a few mouthfuls of your soup, and you need to be so clear with your master?" ”
Yi'er smiled and said, "Then the prince knows that what you just drank was my lunch, and if you eat a fine meal, I will be hungry." ”
"I knew that you were a stingy person and a person with no conscience, if it wasn't for you, I ...... it" seemed to suddenly realize that he had missed his mouth, so he shook his head and changed the subject, "Ye asked you, it's been almost twenty days since you moved to this small courtyard, how many times has Jiang You been here?" What exactly is he going to do with you? Could it be that I'm going to let you go here and ignore it? ”
Yi'er always felt that this person was weird today, and what he said was also upside down, and the preface did not match the afterword, so he asked: "What is wrong with the prince?" What would happen if it weren't for me? ”
Tan Chen got up and said angrily: "No, the master just came to ask for a meal, and now that he is full, he still has something to do, so he will leave first." ”
The person said to leave, but Yi'er didn't react yet, the person had already walked out of the main house and walked away.
This person has always acted openly and freely, and it is not strange that this brainless words and deeds are not strange, but later there were rumors outside that the prince of Dongsheng Hou was angry in the Hou Mansion for some reason, and smashed the Su Yang Building in the Hou Mansion to pieces, not to mention, and kicked one of his father's innocent concubines half to death. Dongsheng Marquis Tan Zhiling was furious, and someone wanted to tie him up and serve him with family law, but this prince kicked away the guards with three punches and two kicks, rushed out of Dongsheng Marquis's mansion, and disappeared.
When this matter spread, it became a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, and what people were vying to say was nothing more than how Tan Chen was unlearned and unskilled, how he was disobedient, but Yi'er listened to it, but she always felt that there was another reason behind it, and Tan Chen was quick at the time, and she said something for her and the like, which made her feel uneasy.
The day after this happened, Yi'er came here with a distinguished guest she never expected.
Legend has it that since three years ago, Tan Sheng, the old marquis of Dongsheng Houfu, and his granddaughter Tan Qi, the lord of Zhuyu County, died of illness one after another, the eldest princess of Yunping has been staying on the East Mountain, even if it is a New Year's holiday, she has never left half a step from the Snow Garden, if it is such an ordinary day, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will come down from the East Mountain, to such an inconspicuous small courtyard in Beijing, I am afraid that no one will believe it, even Yi'er herself, saw the eldest princess of Yunping who got off the carriage with the support of the color basket and walked towards herself. She still couldn't believe it, and for a moment she even forgot to say hello.
Qing Li behind him saw that Yi'er was in a daze, and hurriedly touched Yi'er's arm from behind quietly.
The eldest princess of Yunping snorted, glared at Yi'er twice, didn't speak, and went straight past Yi'er towards the courtyard.
Yi'er is a little strange, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will naturally not go down to Jingdongshan for no reason, looking at this posture, it seems that she is still angry, which is even more puzzling, with her status and status, where does anyone dare to flick her old man's intentions and make her so angry?
Yi'er followed the eldest princess into the house, the eldest princess sat on the soft couch, Yi'er stood beside her, took the hot tea handed by Wu'er, respectfully presented it to the eldest princess, and said, "Grandmother, please drink tea." ”
The eldest princess of Yunping was angry in her heart, and she didn't want to take the teacup, and when she saw Yi'er leaning slightly, her expression was respectful, and her face was timid, but she still sighed, stretched out her hand to take it, and said angrily: "What, do you still know how to call me an old woman a grandmother?" ”
Yi'er said: "Grandmother is blaming her granddaughter for not going to Dongshan to kowtow to her grandmother for a long time?" ”
The eldest princess of Yunping snorted again and said, "It's good that you know." I ask you, why didn't you think to come to your grandmother when such a big event has been known to the whole city? Do you think your grandmother is too old to do anything? Or do you think that if you lose the identity of Miss Naraush, your grandmother will hate you? ”
Yi'er thought about it, knelt down in front of the eldest princess of Yunping, and said: "Grandmother Mingjian, granddaughter just thinks that she doesn't serve her grandmother in front of her on weekdays, and she is already unfilial. ”
"Whew!" The eldest princess of Yunping reprimanded, "You girl is good at everything, but she is very thoughtful." is young, afraid of wolves on the left and tigers on the right, where are there so many scruples? ”
Yi'er lowered her head and said, "Grandmother taught me a lesson, and my granddaughter knew that she was wrong." ”
The eldest princess of Yunping said: "Grandmother is not afraid to tell you the truth, when you fell into the water, grandmother rescued you and saw you, it was because of Xiaoyou's monkey, but when grandmother said that she wanted to accept you as a granddaughter, it was because grandmother really liked you, and if she liked you, she liked you as a person. So, you are the princess of the princess, your grandmother likes you, you are a cheap slave and beggar, and your grandmother still likes you, do you understand? ”
Yi'er choked up tears in her eyes, and choked up and called "grandmother", but she couldn't speak anymore.
The eldest princess of Yunping pulled the person up from the ground, gently hugged him in her arms, and said: "The name you used to call in the Hou Mansion was not good, and my grandmother never liked it, but my grandmother heard that you still have a name, which is called Yi'er?" ”
Yi'er nodded.
The eldest princess of Yunping said: "The name Yi'er is much easier to hear, so I will change it back in the future." Grandmother knows that you are young and bumpy, but do you remember your original surname? ”
Yi'er said: "When I was in Suizhou, when my granddaughter went to cancel her nationality, she followed the surname Jiang. ”
The eldest princess of Yunping shook her head again and again: "It's not good, it's not good, what is the surname Jiang, where is there anything good?" If you really don't remember your original surname, but your grandmother has a surname, don't you think? ”
Yi'er was stunned for a moment, and Huo Ran looked up at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess of Yunping said: "You also know that my grandmother was originally surnamed Yang, but this surname is nothing good, and there are many scruples." Grandmother's surname was Tan, and it was appropriate for you to follow the surname Tan, but the eyelids were shallow, and it was too unhearted, just that, grandmother didn't nag you about these things, oh, by the way, grandmother's unskilled grandson was very surprised by the return of grandmother, so it's good, this Tan family has a good idea and insight from generation to generation, and it can be regarded as a successor. ”
Yi'er Daqi, the eldest princess seemed to be talking about Tan Chen's incident in Dongshenghou Mansion yesterday, and was about to ask, but the eldest princess continued: "Look at grandmother, this person is old, and his brain is easy to get confused. Grandmother here, there is also a surname Wu, I want you, so I follow this surname Wu, called Wu Yi, what do you think? ”
"Wu Yi?" Yi'er read it again, and for no reason, she remembered that day when the eldest princess on the east mountain taught her the jumping needle and the Wu Niangzi who invented this method of walking needles more than 20 years ago, she couldn't help but be very strange, and some inquiring looked at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess of Yunping smiled and said, "Grandmother doesn't hide it from you, Wu Niangzi, who invented the jumping pin more than 20 years ago, is my grandmother." ”
