Chapter 496: Please
"Anyway, it's not the ones that are often delivered."
If the fourth princess wants to send some pastries to the other princesses, or the Cao family and the Wu family, they usually tell the dining room directly which one they want to send some food and snacks, and the dining room will prepare the things, put them in the box properly, and then hand them over to someone to send them directly out of the palace.
Eunuch Zhang sighed, and it seemed that he was thinking about it.
Xiao Song continued: "The fourth princess asked the bean soup to send it." ”
Eunuch Zhang didn't ask about it again, and Xiao Song didn't mention it, saying, "Master, is the news I heard a few days ago true?" ”
"What?"
"That is, the precious son of the third prince's family, is it also going to be sent to the palace to be raised?"
This matter is not unprecedented, the first princess died, didn't the princess of Wen County and the prince of Qi be sent to the palace to raise? It doesn't take much to raise one more.
There are rules for everything in the palace for food and clothing, and no one will detain them, there may be slaves and bullies in the palace outside, and when the bride enters the door, there may be ill-intentioned calculations and assassinations by the stepmother, and there will be basically no such thing in the palace - especially on the side of Dongyuan, Queen Cao is keeping an eye on it, and there are not so many fights and so much oil and water in other places here, so compared to other places in the palace, Dongyuan is really relatively quiet and suitable for raising children.
Eunuch Zhang asked unhurriedly: "Who are you asking for this?" ”
Xiao Song smiled and said: "I really can't hide anything from Master, several people have come to me, and they all know that Master's hands and eyes are ......."
Eunuch Zhang smiled and waved his hand: "What hands and eyes are up to the sky?" Don't listen to those people's. ”
Who are those people?
are all idle people who don't have a fixed errand, or feel that there is no hope for the current errand, and I heard that the son of the third prince's family may also be put into the palace to raise, so one by one, the mind is active.
There is a master to rely on, that is many times stronger than idleness, if you serve well, then there will always be a future in the future.
But if you want to get a good job, you can't just talk in the vernacular, and if you want to find a relationship, you have to take out real money to deal with it, and you have to deal with the right people.
Some people want to follow Eunuch Zhang's path, but not everyone can speak in front of Eunuch Zhang, so Xiao Song also has someone here to ask for help.
"Don't think about it, you can't earn this money, and I don't lack their filial piety." Eunuch Zhang shook his head: "This matter is not quite right, Mrs. Xiao and the third princess are strange one after the other, as for where to raise the child, the matter has not yet been decided." ”
Xiao Song lowered his voice: "Master, I heard someone say that the third princess committed suicide. ”
Eunuch Zhang picked up the pu fan on the side and slapped it on Xiao Song's head.
"Are you impatient or itchy with your skin? You dare to say such things. ”
Xiao Song didn't hurt when he was beaten, and he smiled: "Master, I didn't say it, I just heard from someone." ”
"If someone says this again, you should go away." Eunuch Zhang glared at him: "Otherwise, I'll clean you up now, so that you don't have to worry about me if something happens to your kid." ”
Xiao Song didn't dare to laugh now.
If the third princess really died of illness, then Eunuch Zhang would definitely not have to be so angry with him.
On the contrary, I am afraid that the third princess will indeed go a little strangely, and Eunuch Zhang knows some inside information, so he will warn him like this.
Xiao Song has been following Eunuch Zhang for five years, and he also knows his master's skills very well. Eunuch Zhang has both craftsmanship and scheming, and Xiao Song doesn't know how many connections he has in this palace. In this palace, as long as Eunuch Zhang wants to inquire, there seems to be nothing he can't inquire about.
Xiao Song suddenly closed his mouth, which was tighter than a mussel shell.
He has been in the palace for a long time, and he knows a truth deeply.
The more you know, the faster you tend to die. Even if you can guarantee that you don't divulge secrets when you're awake, can you guarantee that you won't miss a word when you fall asleep? What's more, the palace is full of eyes and ears, don't you see that he is talking to Eunuch Zhang now under the tree in the courtyard? There was nothing on all sides, and if anyone was hiding at the base of the wall, they would not be able to hear their voices.
Xiao Song didn't ask much, Master's words were always wrong, since Master asked him not to peddle about this matter, then he just rejected those people.
What does it matter to him about how the third princess and her mother, Mrs. Xiao, died? Everyone is dead, even if he risks losing his head to find out how they died, will anyone reward him with money?
It is impossible to reward him with silver, but it is very possible to reward him with a board and beat him to death.
"Some things can be inquired about, and some things can't be done." Eunuch Zhang is still satisfied with Xiao Song's apprentice, this kid is diligent and obedient, although he is clumsy and doesn't learn much about cooking, but he really can't leave him for running errands or passing words.
Xiao Song pinched Eunuch Zhang's shoulders and legs, not to mention how thoughtful he served.
The work of the dining room is not easy, the chickens do not call them to afford it, a breakfast with the preparation of the meal can be busy until the middle of the morning, and then it is time to prepare lunch, in the afternoon can rest for an hour, and the work of dinner comes again. Although there are others to do the work, but ordinary people can't stand it when they stay next to the fire on such a hot day, and Eunuch Zhang doesn't know how many times he has to sweat his clothes after coming down this day. Others are proud to see him, but try this job for them?
The bean soup over there didn't delay for a moment, and he left the palace with the food box.
The weather is hot, and if this snack is not delivered quickly, it will change its flavor if it is not guaranteed.
The bean custard hurried slowly, fortunately, Lu Yi's residence was not far away, and when the bean custard delivered the mung bean cake, Lu Yi happened to be in the house and didn't go out.
"Hello Lord Lu." The bean soup made a salute and handed over the suitcase in his hand: "Here is a snack, our princess said it was good to eat, and I specially sent it to invite the adults to taste it." ”
Lu Yi said with a smile: "The weather is so hot, you have worked hard to run such a trip, take a break and have a cup of tea before leaving." ”
Doutang smiled and said, "I'm not tired, but this snack, Lord Lu will try it." ”
He lifted the lid of the box, revealing a white porcelain dish containing a pink and green square cake.
Lu Yi raised his hand, but both hands were covered with ink.
Doutang said: "My lord has worked hard, this must have written a lot of words." ”
Lu Yi shook his head: "I didn't write much ...... words."
The old servant brought water in and asked Lu Yi to wash his hands, the square cake was not big, Lu Yi took a bite of it, and directly ate a plate of mung bean cake, not to mention how good the appetite was.
Doutangxin said that he had something to say back to the princess, so he said that Lu Shenju liked the cake given by the princess very much, and there was nothing left after eating.
