Chapter 50: An's Daughter
Dinner was served at Lumingtai.
It is still the courtyard where Su Ruhua lived, because no one has lived in it for more than four months, and there is a thick layer of dust on the furnishings, but fortunately, Xiuwan and Hongluan are both neat people, so they asked Mrs. Zheng Yejun and Su Ruhui to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard outside, and it took half an hour to clean up.
The news of the Liushang Bureau has always been well-informed, Su Ruhui moved back to Renshou Palace and the Empress Dowager allowed Mrs. Zheng Yejun to accompany her daughter to finish dinner and then leave the palace, the imperial dining room under the Shangshi Bureau immediately made rapid preparations, and without waiting for Xiuwan to pick it up, two small yellow doors came to the imperial dining room, carrying two large food boxes and taking the initiative to send them over.
The two little yellow men claimed to be surnamed Wang and Han, both of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old, and their eyes were rolling around revealing shrewdness, and they were obviously running errands with the big dukes in the Shangshi Bureau. They explained with a smile that some time ago, because Su Ruhui's health was not very good, the imperial dining room would deliberately make more light vegetarian food, and now that Su Ruhui has recovered, she should naturally take care of her life.
Regardless of Su Ruhui's gloomy face, he opened the food box with his hands.
I saw that although the box was eight cold and eight hot examples as usual, the ingredients were scarlet lip hump, abalone mountain delicacies, and bamboo deer were scorched...... A succession of preciousness.
Because today is Laba, Laba porridge has been cooked everywhere in the palace, and the Queen Mother is rewarded with the most complex materials, meaning the beautiful splendid treasure Laba porridge, with golden bird's nest with peanuts, lotus seeds, walnuts, raisins, almonds...... Wait for the dried fruits to be carefully boiled out with the best pearl glutinous rice.
There is also a porridge sent from the imperial dining room, but it looks like a red color, like soup. The two little yellow men Xiaoyi said: "Madam, Miss, this jade laba porridge is a new test in the imperial dining room this year, the Queen Mother tasted it and said it was good, but it was subject to the materials, and not much was done, and the Xia Gonggong of the Shangshi Bureau said that Mrs. Zheng Yejun rarely accompanied Miss to eat in the palace, and deliberately put out two bowls to let Mrs. and Miss taste it." ”
After Su Ruhui moved to the palace, he was neglected by the imperial dining room, and it was rare to return to Lumingtai now, and he was about to beat this slave who was holding high and low, but before he could speak, his hand was pinched by Mrs. Zheng Yejun, and Mrs. Zheng Yejun smiled: "Thank you two little fathers-in-law." He said and winked at Hongluan.
Hongluan understood, took out a pair of purses from his sleeves, the inside was bulging, and it seemed that the weight was not light, the two little yellow doors pretended to excuse a few times, but the hands put away the things early, and the tone was also warm, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, what does Miss want to eat in the palace in the future, just send someone to the imperial dining room to say, the servants will do their best." ”
"The two little fathers-in-law laughed, the palace has its own rules, such as painting without grade and grade, it is already the grace of the queen mother to be able to follow the example of the concubine, how dare you say that you can let the imperial dining room do whatever you want to eat?" Su Ruhui couldn't hold back the ridicule after all.
The little yellow door surnamed Wang was not annoyed when he heard it, and slapped himself with a smile and said: "Look at the minion's mouth, he accidentally said the wrong thing, if it wasn't for Miss Su to mention it, the minion wouldn't know what trouble would have happened." Thankfully, I went to Miss! ”
Although Su Ruhui has been favored since childhood, it is the first time she has heard such clear flattery, after all, she has studied with Xue Zi for two months, and she is also a little arrogant, after hearing it, she feels that this little yellow door is shallow and contemptible, and she is more and more disdainful, and she turns her head aside and ignores him.
"Youlao's two little fathers-in-law have made this trip, please thank Father-in-law Xia on behalf of our mother and daughter." Mrs. Zheng Yejun smiled faintly, "My son is young, please don't take the two little fathers-in-law to heart, I will talk about her in a while." ”
The two little yellow men were still smiling, bowed down and said: "Madame's words are tormenting the slaves, Miss is very clever, only blame the minions for being stupid and saying the wrong thing, and thank Miss for mentioning it." Mrs. Zheng Yejun smiled and motioned to Hongluan to personally send the two out of the door.
Su Ruhui's face was uncertain and said, "Mother! ”
"What do you know?" Mrs. Zheng Yejun said leisurely, and instructed Hongluan to pick up a few dishes and pull Xiuwan to the side house for her own use, and when she saw that there was no one around, she said, "Do you think it's great for the Queen Mother to ask you to move back to live?" Even the imperial dining room dares to throw a face? Do you know that the ladies in the palace, except for those who have no brains or are tough enough in the background, they don't dare to punish the Liushang Bureau so wantonly! Even if the Queen Mother beats those who have neglected you today, who knows what will be added to your food tomorrow? I'd rather offend a gentleman than provoke a villain, but fortunately I'm here, and this teaches you! ”
Su Ruhui said in frustration: "The child just feels that his heart is clogged ...... panic"
"Now I feel that it is better to be panicked than to recruit a villain, don't you know that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but it is a day to night for the villain to take revenge?" Mrs. Zheng Yejun said bitterly, "Besides, this kind of thing is not a common thing in the palace, but what about ordinary people?" You're tired of eating blood swallows at home, but do you know? Your second brother once knelt in front of Su Ping, who was in charge of the inner library, and begged him to give him a little crumb because Rui was seriously ill? ”
Rui is one of Wu Dehou's concubines, Wu Dehou has been to her yard twice, but she became pregnant, but Su Wanhai already had a son-in-law at that time, and Guan Xianghou was still alive at that time, and he was very fond of Mrs. Zheng Yejun, and he didn't like Rui and Su Rujun very much, this attitude then affected Su Wanhai's branch, and Rui was just guarding his son to shrink in the corner of Su Mansion to survive.
Su Rujun moved to the front yard after she was seven years old, and no one paid attention to her, although the food and clothing were said to be given according to the concubine's share, but the concubine who fell out of favor, even though Mrs. Zheng Yejun did not deliberately suppress and treat her badly, but she was not in the mood to take special care, and the Rui family's life was better than that of ordinary Su family slaves.
As for the blood swallow, it has always been the treatment of the children of the descendants or the concubines of the main wife, Mrs. Zheng Yejun and Wu Dehou doted on their young daughters, and told her to eat a product every day when Su Ruhui was able to eat, so Su Ruhui had long felt tired. However, when Rui was seriously ill, his son knelt down for the slave to ask for some crumbs and porridge to cook and tonic.
It was also when Su Rujun knelt down that time that he was seen by Mrs. Zheng Yejun, and he asked about Rui's life, only to find out that this Rui family has always been controlled by the maidservants around him, although the share of the concubine is not as good as the main house, after all, it can be regarded as brocade clothes and jade food, but it was stolen out by the maid to help her brother, so that Rui's nest head eats pickles all the time, like a slave.
Although Mrs. Zheng Yejun didn't care about the life or death of the Rui family, she couldn't tolerate this kind of slave bullying in the house she was in charge of, so she called Ya Po to sell the maid into a harsh kiln of a bustard's mother, and then inspected the whole house, and found that several concubines of Wu Dehou could not get the full example, which made Mrs. Zheng Yejun, who had been a housekeeper since childhood, feel shameless and dealt with it ruthlessly.
Su Ruhui knew that her mother had cleaned up the Su Mansion, but she didn't know that the introduction turned out to be Su Rujun asking for a little blood swallow crumbs for the Rui family, and she couldn't help but feel sad: "Mother will take care of the Rui family in the future, just look at the second brother's sake." ”
"It's natural." Mrs. Zheng Yejun nodded and said, "This time your third brother is the prince's companion, which is also attached to your second brother's credit. It's just that Rui is just a concubine after all, even if I take care of her, her own cowardly nature will not be much better if she doesn't change her life. ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Zheng Yejun looked at Su Ruhui with deep meaning.
Su Ruhui thought about it carefully and whispered, "Mother thinks I'm cowardly? ”
"It's not that you're cowardly, it's that you should accept the eldest lady's temperament." Mrs. Zheng Yejun shook her head, "I haven't deducted Rui's share, but what about her?" But she didn't dare to say anything when she saw the slave stealing her share! Forcing his son to kneel to his minions! Fortunately, Rujun moved to the front yard since he was seven years old, otherwise, Rui would not be able to teach Su Rujun today! ”
Saying that, Mrs. Zheng Yejun sneered: "What about you? At the beginning, His Majesty blamed you heavily for the county lord of Huaizhen, and even moved to the Chunsheng Hall of Qiongtong Palace! Don't tell me you don't see the way your majesty left you to live! Why don't you go and ask the Queen Mother? With the identity of the Su family's concubine, do you disdain to cry to the Queen Mother? If it weren't for the fact that the Su family still had a bit of an identity, and the county lord of Huaizhen was too obvious at a young age, which made the queen mother unhappy, do you think that the hardship you suffered was as simple as moving the palace for four months? ! ”
