Chapter 137: Peach Blossom Cake
Ruan Cailing was about to lie down, she was stunned when she heard Qing Rui's question, she forgot that she had learned this in her previous life, and it stands to reason that she should not know anything now, she herself doesn't like the kitchen, and she doesn't like to cook, but she only learned a peach blossom crisp.
"I watched Xiyin do it before, and I didn't think it was difficult."
Qingrui sighed, lowered her head and went out.
When Master Wang's portrait was sent to King Xuan's Mansion, Gu Jinxi was not there, King Xuan and the princess were not there, only the old lady and princess were in the huge Xuanwang Mansion, and the sun was just right in the afternoon, the old lady and princess were basking in the sun in the courtyard outside, and when she saw someone walking towards Gu Jinxi's courtyard with something in her hand, she called over.
"What is this?" The old lady asked.
The guard said, "This is a portrait sent by Master Wang in the capital, saying that Gu Jinxi invited the portrait some time ago, and it was just baked and sent back." ”
Portrait! The old lady and princess were surprised, so she asked the guards to take a look, but when she saw the person inside, she recognized it as Ruan Cailing at a glance.
The old princess smiled from ear to ear, she finally saw that Gu Jinxi was willing to get close to a girl, especially Ruan Cailing, she especially liked this girl in the Dingguo Mansion, she was as sensible as Ruan Su, and she had the demeanor of a lady, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and deserved to be the eldest lady!
Such a girl is the best to be the future princess!
"Come on, take a closer look and I'll see! Alas, this girl hasn't been here lately, and she doesn't know what she's up to! The old lady and princess touched Ruan Cailing's side face on the portrait and said with emotion.
The guard thought for a while and said, "You can't blame the eldest lady for not coming to see you, the eldest lady is sick, it seems to be quite serious, her knee is injured and she has a high fever for a long time, and the prince is also because the eldest lady's legs can't move, so he invited Master Wang to come to the door to paint a portrait of the eldest lady, and a pair was sent to the Dingguo Mansion." ”
"Hurt your leg? How? The old lady asked anxiously.
But these, the guards don't know, the tone of the Dingguo Mansion is very tight, there is no news at all, the news of this eldest lady's illness is still heard from Mu Bai, after all, the prince did not come back one night, and there is no one the next day, so he must ask.
Otherwise, when the time comes, the prince and princess will look for them to ask for someone, where will their group of guards find the prince!
"It turned out that she was sick, no wonder, you, go to my warehouse over there to pick up some good medicinal materials, send them to the Dingguo Mansion, and give them to Ling'er by hand, and said that I can't see her in person because of my inconvenience, let her take care of it, at a young age, I can't leave the root of the disease!" The old princess said.
The guard arched his hand, "Yes." ”
Since the last time the old lady and princess were on her birthday, everyone in the entire Xuanwang Mansion knew that the old lady and the princess were very fond of Ruan Cailing, and they couldn't wait to hope that Ruan Cailing would marry them as a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law immediately, but Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi themselves didn't feel anything.
And after that, there was an accident in the Dingguo Mansion, that is, Shen Yunyun and Cheng Xuan.
When Shen Yunyun and Cheng Lin discussed this matter in Xuanwang's Mansion, they were overheard, and after that person told Gu Jinxi, it didn't take long for the old lady and the princess and others to know, and they all felt that Cheng Lin and Shen Yunyun were vicious.
At that time, the old princess said that it was better to do Shen Yunyun's girl, and it would be embarrassing for the province to stay in the Dingguo Mansion.
But Gu Jinxi disagreed, he said that this person should be left to Ruan Cailing, no matter what, Ruan Cailing will always have a way, and they don't need to worry about it.
This saved the old lady and princess from making a big fuss.
As a result, Shen Yunyun and Cheng Xuan got married, and on the day of the wedding, there was also a Qinglou woman who also followed into the family, and the old princess felt that this had lifted Shen Yunyun, a girl like this, it was okay to be a concubine, where was she worthy of the position of a wife.
And the Cheng Lin family, who became a family, is not a good person, at such an old age, he actually calculates the girls of other people's families with a little girl's family.
The old princess told King Xuan that King Xuan was not allowed to help Cheng Lisheng's family, both inside and outside the court.
Of course, Gu Yu didn't even know who Cheng Lisheng was, but when he heard that Cheng Lisheng was the person Lin Yicheng pulled up, it meant that Cheng Lisheng was Lin Yicheng's person, and he must be the henchman of Mu Yichen, the ninth prince.
Whether it is to avoid suspicion or whatever, Gu Yu will not have anything to do with Cheng Lisheng.
When the guards sent the tonic to the Dingguo Mansion, Ruan Cailing was making peach blossom cakes in the kitchen with Aunt Mei and Qingrui.
Originally, Qingrui and Aunt Mei thought that Ruan Cailing was just here to have fun, but they didn't expect that Ruan Cailing really had a set of peach blossom cakes, and she didn't need Aunt Mei's help from beginning to end, so Qingrui followed Tianchai and the like on the side.
"Miss, there are guards from King Xuan's Mansion outside the door, and I want to see you." Li'er ran over and said to Ruan Cailing.
Ruan Cailing wiped her hands, asked Qingrui to pay attention to the heat, and raised her head to ask Li'er, "People from Xuanwang's Mansion?" Is it Mu Han or Mu Bai? ”
So far, the people from Xuanwang's Mansion, except for Gu Jinxi, are the two brothers Mu Bai and Mu Han, and she hasn't seen the others, so she naturally thinks that Gu Jinxi asked them to send something to her.
Li'er shook her head, "No, I don't know anyone, it's just a guard of Xuanwang's Mansion." ”
This time, Ruan Cailing was surprised and tilted her head.
She asked the guards to take to the Sihua Building, she sat down to rest, it didn't take much time to make the peach blossom cake, but her knees still couldn't load, she needed a proper rest, she finally finished tossing, and now she just wants to sit and don't want to run around.
"Participate in the eldest lady." The guards saluted on one knee.
Ruan Cailing took a sip of tea, raised her hand to block the sun, and looked at the guards who bowed their heads and bowed, they were indeed living people who had never seen before, but they must be from Xuanwangfu, after all, they were wearing the armor of the guards of Xuanwangfu.
"Get up, I haven't seen you, who told you to come?" Ruan Cailing asked.
As soon as the guard raised his hand, a few people came in carrying a small box, and the guard said, "The old lady of our family heard that the eldest lady was sick, and specially asked her subordinates to send supplements. ”
Old lady princess!
The teacup in Ruan Cailing's hand almost overturned, she put the teacup on the table, pointed to the box behind it and said, "These are all sent to me by grandmother?" Grandmother knows I'm hurt? ”
"Yes, today, Master Wang's painting was sent to King Xuan's Mansion, and the old princess saw it, so she asked about your current situation, and knew that you were injured, so she ordered her subordinates to come."
It turned out that this was the case, since it was sent by the old lady and princess, she couldn't be lazy, Ruan Cailing hurriedly asked Li'er and Meizi and others on the side to put away their things, Ruan Cailing glanced at Li'er, who walked to the guard's side and gave a silver ingot.
"I'm sorry for you to make a trip, and please convey Ling'er's thanks."
"Yes, then the subordinate takes his leave!"
After the guards left, Ruan Cailing asked Li'er to open the box, which contained all kinds of good medicinal materials for nourishing the body, which at first glance were precious medicinal materials given by the emperor to the old princess, and there was also yellow paper for the royal family.
Ruan Cailing sighed twice, she just injured her knee, and she didn't want to die, she actually picked so many things for hanging her life, the old lady and princess just gave an order, and it was the responsibility of the next person to select things and send them over, it should be the person who watched and selected them just now.
"Send it to Uncle Long, no matter who sent the medicinal materials in the future, give it to Uncle Long." Ruan Cailing said.
Li'er answered, and asked people to put everything away, Ruan Cailing wondered if Gu Jinxi would come today, she made a peach blossom crisp, which should have been brought back by the guards, but it was just put in the pot and baked, and it would take a long time to take it away.
If you keep the guards waiting, you might wait until the sun goes down.
It's better to wait for it and then let someone send it over, which is more innovative.
But if Gu Jinxi comes, he can still eat hot!
Ruan Cailing's eyes rolled and asked Li'er, "What about the prince?" ”
"Which son do you ask?" Li'er stood behind Ruan Cailing and helped her massage her shoulders, and two sons would appear from Ruan Cailing's mouth, and there were only two sons in the entire capital.
Ruan Cailing rolled her eyes, "Naturally, he is the son of our Dingguo Mansion, what about my eldest brother?" ”
"Oh, the prince has gone out, but I heard Jiang Chen say that he will be back in a while, it seems that he is going to Yanhua Tower! Reconcile with Western Bank! Pear said.
Some time ago, she was reading the account book, but recently she was powerless, so she could only let Ruan Xuchen come by herself.
It turns out that the eldest brother has been busy with the shop recently, so he should come back sooner.
"You go and help me inquire about where the prince of Xuan is located."
"Ask me what I'm doing?"
Li'er was about to retreat when she heard an elegant and pleasant voice coming from behind her, Ruan Cailing turned her head in surprise, "When did you come!" ”
"I was there when my grandmother asked her to bring you something, but I didn't want them to see me, so I didn't come out." Gu Jinxi sat opposite Ruan Cailing by herself.
Ruan Cailing said with a smile, "I made peach blossom cake just now, Zhengyang Qingrui looks at the roasting, you can taste it!" ”
"Okay, are you tired?" Gu Jinxi asked.
She looked down at her knees, "It's okay, I could have done it in half an hour, but because I couldn't stand for a long time, I could only do it for a while and rest for a while, and it took more than an hour to finish." ”
"It's okay, as long as you make it, I love it." Gu Jinxi said that he did not have much hope for the dim sum made by Ruan Cailing.
A lady who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, how delicious the dim sum can be!
But Gu Jinxi was still very cooperative.
Ruan Cailing's eyes widened and slapped on the table, "What I made must be delicious!" The peach blossom cake I made is the most suitable for your taste in the world! ”
These words are all spoken by you.
Gu Jinxi nodded obediently, "Yes, yes, as long as you make it, it will definitely be to my taste." ”
