Chapter 12 Mingxin builds a small kitchen

Every time she wiped her face, she would look at the etiquette map on the handkerchief, in the morning, in the evening, after eating, wiping her face with sweat, she would look at the handkerchief, so she remembered the etiquette of meeting the old lady.

Yujun folded the veil down and carefully placed it in the box.

"Miss, the bed, study, and makeup pavilion in this Pear Blossom Pavilion were originally arranged, but they didn't add much to it, and the slaves and maids cleaned it up so roughly, is Miss still satisfied?" Russo asked.

Yujun took a look, Aunt Xiao taught her to eat and live simply, and she didn't ask for gorgeous decoration.

Yujun nodded and said to these subordinates, "It's good enough." ”

The mother-in-law came to deliver breakfast, saluted Wen Du as they walked in, and then put the food box on the nearby table, and smiled at Yujun: "Madame said that she just remembered that Miss didn't have breakfast, and ordered the servants to bring food to Miss." ”

As she spoke, the mother-in-law took out a bowl of Chunhan pine nut tea and two plates of osmanthus pastry from the double-layer red lacquer and golden flower box made of Nan wood.

Wen Du looked at the exquisite food box, and said in a deep voice to the mother-in-law: "Miss Yujun still has filial piety on her, what are you doing with such a beautiful food box." Even if Miss Yujun doesn't have filial piety on her, you shouldn't use such a beautiful food box to send food over. ”

Wen Du said and said, "I remember that the food boxes used by Miss Yan and the young master in the past were not all red lacquer boxes made of nan wood? Far from being as delicate and precious as this little flower, Yujun is a concubine, and using such a food box in Bitao Courtyard is not only unsuitable, but it will also be discussed when it is passed out. Later, I used a red lacquer flower box made of pine wood to deliver food to the young lady. ”

The woman bowed her head and agreed.

Yujun glanced at the breakfast, turned around and asked Wen Dui, "Daddy, where will they eat later?" In the past, they could eat with us in Mingxin Xiaozhu. ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she immediately spoke: "If Miss Hui, there is no such rule in Bitao Courtyard. A slave is a slave, a master is a master, how can a slave eat with his master, it is really unconventional. The minions ate in the big kitchen, or the master rewarded them for the minions to eat. Every day, the minions eat their own portions, and they all have their own eating hours, and the time when the master eats is different from the minions. Miss eat first. ”

Yujun has always regarded colored beads and embroidery as sisters, and when she heard that they would delay their meals in the future, she raised her head and said to Wen Dui: "Daddy, the maid in Mingxin's small kitchen hasn't been dismissed yet, if that's the case, then it's better to ask Mingxin Xiaozhu's small kitchen to make special meals in the future, it's better than not knowing my taste in the small kitchen of Bitaoyuan." ”

Wen Du thought about it and agreed with Yujun's words, after all, Yujun's taste is still familiar in the small kitchen, the Chunhan pine nut tea that Xu's drinks every day, Yujun must not be used to drinking it, and there is no need to drink the bitter tea, however, Xu's is the mother-in-law, in the end, she wants to give Xu's face, now Yujun people have come to Bitaoyuan, and those who eat Mingxin Xiaozhu small kitchen always have Xu's face, called Xu's face is not good-looking, also called Ruan, Liu's two aunts have something to say to ridicule Xu's, in fact, ridiculing Xu's is just a matter of the house, It's nothing for my family to ridicule each other, I'm afraid that this matter will spread to the second master's house next door, and it will be treated as a joke by the Ye family.

Wen Du coughed and said softly to Yujun: "It's okay to send food from Mingxin's small kitchen, but Mrs. has to nod in this matter." ”

Yujun said innocently: "Of course Madam will nod." Before my mother went, she told me that her wife would be very good to me. Madame will definitely nod her head at this little thing. ”

Wen Du said: "Daddy go and tell Mrs. that Yujun will stay in the Pear Blossom Pavilion first, and if there is anything missing, go to the Treasure Mirror Building to find Mrs. ”

Yujun nodded.

Wen Du stepped on the wind and snow to the Treasure Mirror Tower, although the sun was high, but the wind was still blowing, and the slight residual snow was blown up by the wind in the wind, like spring catkins fluttering and sprinkling.

In the Baojing Building, the Xu family had already withdrawn the breakfast and leaned on the soft couch alone to draw embroidery patterns, and Bao Xin flattered: "Madame is pampered, leave this kind of needlework to the next person to do." ”

Xu Shi snorted, and the corners of his lips pulled down slightly, evoking a trace of bitterness, "I went to Yongxiu Monastery yesterday and found out that the cushion on the stool made by the old lady was actually from Aunt Xiao's hand, as the lady in the house, the wife of the Wen family, it is not as good as a side room?" Since she can embroider cushions for people to sit on, then I will embroider a set of twelve colors of forehead wiping for the old lady to wear. In this way, the old lady goes in and out of the house, and others know my filial piety when they see their foreheads. ”

"What filial piety?" Wen Du did not order his subordinates to pass on, he lifted the curtain and walked in, as soon as he came in, he saw Xu leaning on the soft couch of the mink fur shop to embroider, seeing him come in, he hurriedly put down the embroidery look, and said to Wen Du with a smile: "Why is the master here?" What time is this, not going to the court today? ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward in person, dusted off the residual snow on Wen Dui's shoulders for Wen Dui, and said to Wen Du with a smile: "The clothes on the master's body are cold, so come up on the couch to warm up." ”

There is a dragon baking in Xu's house, and even the mink fur spread on the soft couch is changed every hour, and the hot mink fur is used to re-lay it every time.

Wen Du sat down as he said, Xu picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Dui, and said with a smile: "The old man hurriedly entered the palace for something, and he went for five days. ”

Wen Du took a sip of tea and said: "It's nothing, the prince of Fanbang was chased and fled into Shangrou City, and was escorted into the palace by the soldiers guarding the city. ”

Xu Shi was puzzled: "This is strange, how can the prince of Fanbang speak Rong Nian?" ”

"That's the key. There is indeed a prince in Fanbang who was sent to Rong Hydrol as a proton since he was a child, but it is rumored that he is dead. It is also surprising to flee into the capital now. Your Majesty can't make up your mind, if he is fake, it is fine, if not, it will be difficult to deal with it. If we send him back to Fanbang, I am afraid that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the new king of Fanbang, and if we do not send him to Fanbang, he will say that he has informed the old ministers of Fanbang of his whereabouts, and if he cannot go back, he will commit suicide. If he dies, Fanbang is afraid that he will use this as an excuse to send troops to invade the country. ”

Xu Shi was slightly frightened: "Since the new emperor ascended the throne, it has only been fifteen years since the rebellion of the Seven Princes, if there is another sword war, I am afraid that people will be panicked." ”

"Therefore, Your Majesty is very cautious in this matter, and summoned me to discuss with Prime Minister Shangshu and a few confidants of the Ministry of War."

Xu said: "Then what was the final discussion?" ”

Wen Du said: "Your Majesty has the decision of Your Majesty, how can you tell such a woman. ”

Wen Du said again: "Speaking of which, Yujun, this child has just moved to Bitao Courtyard, and she is not used to it in all kinds, so it is better to still make Mingxin Xiaozhu a small kitchen to make food for her every meal." ”
