For the arrival of Chen Mao. The enthusiasm of the Wang family exceeded his expectations, and it also exceeded Ruixue's imagination. Old lady Wang saw him in person and talked to him for a while, although he asked Chen Mao how he was doing in the imperial dining room of the East Palace, but old lady Wang couldn't help but give him a few instructs. Chen Mao was flattered, and asked one or two questions tentatively, and Mrs. Wang gave answers, and then he let go, said some problems encountered in daily life, and said how others solved them, and he looked at it from the sidelines and felt that it was better to do something else. Although his answer was more about the old lady who denied it, he knew more.

Qi prepared a table of meals for Chen Mao to eat, and during the banquet, she asked Chen Mao very enthusiastically: "Is this year too old?" "How many siblings are there at home?" "Parents are there?" Then he said apologetically: "I don't know about my own family, I should have gone to the house to sit down a long time ago, and everyone should talk." ”

Chen Mao, who ate a meal, was also a little at a loss, and something seemed to be not quite right today. He looked towards Ruixue and found that his sister had kept her head down; When he looked at Master Wang Jiuzhi, he just laughed and didn't mean anything. It was easy to wait for the meal to finish, and he got up and wanted to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by the Qi family. only said that Ruixue was going out and asked him to accompany her out.

"Senior sister, this ......" Chen Mao came to his senses a little, the Wang family wanted to pair him with Ruixue.

Rui Xue was not very embarrassed, and only said, "If there is something wrong with Senior Brother, let's go first." ”

Chen Mao waved his hand: "It's okay, my aunt asked me to send my junior sister back, I ......"

"I don't go out, I just want to go to Mrs. Song's house to have a look." Rui Xue casually found a reason to send Chen Mao away.

When Chen Mao heard that he went to the Song family, he said with some embarrassment: "I think ...... Master Song must be very busy these days, senior sister should go back in a few days! ”

Rui Xue saw that Chen Mao prevented him from going to the Song family, or on the grounds that Master Song was very busy these days, and had some doubts in his heart, why would Chen Mao, who was in the palace, stop him from going, could he say that he knew something?

"Busy?"

"Yes."

"How would Senior Brother know?"

Chen Mao moved a little uneasily, he didn't look at Ruixue, but turned to look out of the car: "I asked the shopkeeper of the wooden number to send the letter back to Nanjing a few days ago, and ...... from there."

"Oh!" Rui Xue nodded, but she didn't agree with Chen Mao's reason, "I just want to meet Mrs. Song, but I don't see Master Song." I still want to go see Xiao Song Qing, I don't know if she is doing well these days. Dad taught me how to make a dim sum a few days ago, and if I make it for her, she will definitely like it. ”

"Senior sister!" Chen Mao stopped Rui Xue with some excitement.

Rui Xue looked at him in surprise: "Senior brother, what's wrong?" She didn't know if she didn't look very decent, anyway, she saw Chen Mao's abnormality. There was panic on his face, and although he recovered quickly, she could already see it.

Chen Mao obviously knew that he was too excited, so he hurriedly turned around, turned his face out of the car window, and pretended to admire the street market outside the window: "Senior sister, the capital is very lively. ”

Rui Xue didn't go around the bend, but hit the nail on the head and said, "Senior brother is hiding something from me." ”

Chen Mao said "ah", then shook his head and denied: "No, junior sister, how could I hide it from you." ”

"Why doesn't Senior Brother want me to go to the Song family?"

"Nope. It's just that Master Song ......"

Rui Xue cut off Chen Mao's words: "Senior brother wants to take Master Song again, so I don't have time to see me, but the Mrs. Song I want to see is still Xiao Song Qing." Even if Mrs. Song can't see me when she's busy, there is still little Song Qing! Why is my brother obstructing me like this? Something happened to the Song family?! Senior brother doesn't want me to know? ”

Chen Mao waved his hand again and again: "No, no!" ”

Rui Xue said abruptly: "Senior brother, you have changed. In the nearly a year since you came to Beijing, you have changed a lot. ”

Chen Mao opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but Rui Xue still didn't give her a chance, but said lightly: "You don't tell me, I also know that Master Song's house has been monitored by Dongchang for a few days." My brother was afraid that I would go there. Let's be caught as an accomplice! ”

Chen Mao said: "Senior sister knows? But you're ......"

"But how do I know, do I?" Rui Xue smiled slightly, "Senior brother, why don't you tell me how you know about this?" Dongchang's secret operation has always been a collection of accounts to the outside world, how can the senior brother in the palace know? ”

"I ......"

"When I saw my senior brother at Song's house that day, I felt a little strange, when did my senior brother get so close to Master Song, he wanted to send a letter back to Nanjing, and he wouldn't find Master Song directly! Later, it was reported that Master Song's sister-in-law Song Xuanzhi was aborted, but the Song family was not sad, and the subordinates were a little happy. Senior brother, are you ......?"

Chen Mao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, junior sister, absolutely not." How could I possibly do such a thing. ”

"How can that be so coincidental? If not, so what? ”

Chen Mao sighed: "Senior sister, it's better to find a place, it's not convenient to say." ”

Rui Xue smiled, pointed to the little guy outside the car and said, "You just say it's okay, he was given to me by Mrs. Song." ”

Even if Chen Mao heard this, he still didn't say it directly, but Kao turned to Ruixue, leaned over to Ruixue, and said in a low voice: "I can only tell you that Master Song definitely didn't start the matter of Song Xuan's servant." ”

"Then ......" Ruixue gave an inquiring look.

"Senior sister, I can't say it, don't force me." Chen Mao shook his head at her, rested his index finger on his lips again, motioned for her to shut up, and then continued. "Didn't my aunt say that my sister was going to buy something, and I would accompany my sister."

Rui Xue looked at Chen Mao's strange appearance, knowing that he was still the one who met unexpectedly, too, Jin'er's current identity was even suspicious of her, not to mention other things. It's better to be cautious.

Rui Xue went to a restaurant, just said to order a few dishes to go back to Mrs. Wang to taste, the shopkeeper invited Rui Xue to go to the private room, and Rui Xue also asked the little guy who drove the car to go to another store to buy pickles: "I want ginger sprouts, bean curd, and soybean paste." ”

"Senior brother, this can be said!"

Chen Mao said embarrassedly: "Senior sister, you are forcing me." ”

"Forcing you? If you don't say it, it will involve your great-grandfather. Rui Xue took the lead in telling Chen Mao what Jin Er found in the middle of the night and asked, "On one side is the crown prince, on the other side is the concubine, and this matter is also due to diet." Senior brother, you don't know how your father came out of the imperial dining room back then! That time it was just salt in the nurse's dish, and my father was given a finger raw. Now if the concubine has a case, then our Wang family ......"

"Senior sister!" Chen Mao stopped Rui Xue and hesitated, "You don't have to worry about this, you won't ...... it."

"What about you? You are so close to Master Song, aren't you afraid? ”

Chen Mao shook his head. I found a stool and sat down. He crossed his hands and held it, and looked up at Rui Xue seriously: "Senior sister, I'm fine, I don't have ...... I didn't do those things, I just told Master Song some news. ”

Seeing that Rui Xue listened very carefully, he took a deep breath and said, "Master Song's sister-in-law, Song Xuanshi, was also pregnant before this fetus, but she had a miscarriage. This...... Master Song didn't want this girl to give birth to an imperial heir, and he also wanted to use drugs to abort her, but when I was serving the prince's imperial meal in the East Palace, I went to the imperial dining room, and suddenly found that Song Xuan's food contained food that made her slippery. In fact, it is a mixture of three foods...... I told Master Song. Master Song only said to go with the flow. ”

When Rui Xue heard this, she only felt a little terrifying. Master Song actually knew that his sister would slip tires, but he ...... But thinking that Cuiyun had said that she could understand the contradiction between Master Song and Song Xuanzhi's brother, it was just ......

"I was also ...... at first Later, Mr. Chen said that one of Master Song's sister-in-law died tragically in Fujian because of this Song Xuanzhi......"

Fujian, yes! Mrs. Song said that she had been to Fujian or went with Master Song, could it be the girl who died tragically in Fujian? Family, will it be like this......

"This time, the concubine was seriously ill, some people said that it was because of the diet, and they also suspected that His Royal Highness the Prince, and then I received a message from others that I should not go to the wooden shop these days, and I hung a tent card, and I knew that something was wrong."

"Closing the bill?"

Chen Mao smiled and said, "Exactly." Master Song once told me that if something big happens, the store will hang up a tent sign, and no contact should be made in any case, just in case. ”

"And then?"

"Yesterday, I received a message from Master Song, and he asked me to find out which chefs made the concubine's favorite dishes these days."

"Yesterday?"

"Yes."

I just said something yesterday, and at that time, Master Song had already acted? But why did Master Song say that he should not be contacted anyway after hanging up the account card, why did he send the news to Chen Mao, yes! This matter is too urgent!

Chen Mao said: "I came today to ask Master about the mystery here. There is nothing special about each dish, but why did Master Song ask me to check it so clearly. ”

"The concubine loves to eat greasy and sweets."

"Exactly, but I've tasted those dishes, and none of them are sweet...... Oh, I see, junior sister, it's like this, it's like this, it's the same thing as Song Xuanshi. Chen Mao looked at Rui Xue and was still a little unclear, and explained, "Some food skills are not bad, but a few things are mixed together. A dish is not sweet, but a mixture of other flavors will bring out the sweetness. The bitterness is neutralized by the addition of sweetness. Sweet things are sweeter when salty is added. That's the case, so the concubine's illness will be serious. ”

Rui Xue thought about it, and sure enough, she grabbed Chen Mao's hand excitedly and said, "Yes, that's true, great!" ”

"Bang!" All I could hear was the door kicked open from the outside, "What are you doing!" ”

Bitter gourd: Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no record of bitter gourd in medical books, and the Ming Dynasty's "Materia Medica" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" were included, and it is suspected that the eunuchs of the Three Treasures were transplanted from the Nanyang Islands when they went to the West. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Guangxi and Fujian were rich in bitter gourd, and other provinces were appreciated as potted plants.

As for the comprehensive statement of taste, I look at what Da Nagagatami said, and it seems to make sense. Every time my wife makes bitter gourd, she will take salt and marinate it first, so that the bitter gourd will not be so bitter, and it will taste crispy. And when frying bitter gourd, some sugar will be added, so that the bitterness will be much lighter.
