Chapter 86: Confluence with Liulan
"The tea powder, noodles, and oil are all in it, and the action is a little faster, and the fourth lady is waiting anxiously."
The little maid sent Mu Wu to the refreshment room in the West Courtyard, Mu Mo went inside to see that there was no one inside, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: I'm afraid that doing work for Grandma Lu is just a rhetoric, the little maid is young, and she speaks impulsively, plus the fourth lady's position in the house is embarrassing, and the people in the refreshment room are disgruntled, so she is stumbling. Thinking about it, he didn't say much, rolled up his sleeves, and began to work, while sending the little maid away in a gentle voice: "Sister, you go back to rest first, I'll take it to the fourth lady well, and save my sister from sitting here and being tired!" ”
"You're a clever man!" The little maid was overjoyed, immediately rolled her eyes, and ran away without a trace.
Seeing this, Mu Mo smiled indifferently and continued to work. After a while, the refreshments were ready, packed in a food box, and went to the fourth lady's room, where she saw that she was copying scriptures, and there was no one beside her, so he hurriedly put down the food box and helped her add tea and grind.
The fourth lady raised her head and couldn't help but smile: "Where did such a clever girl come from?" What is your name? ”
"Liu'er", Mu Yuliang blinked at the fourth lady, knowing that she was now in an embarrassing position in the mansion because of Wei Zheng's youngest daughter, so she said, "If Madame needs it in the future, just order it at any time." The slave maid worked in the refreshment room of the east courtyard. ”
"Thank you", the fourth lady smiled indifferently, and said, "I am used to being pure alone, I have a grandmother who serves daily, a maid who runs back and forth, and a servant who sweeps the courtyard, and it is enough to eat and wear. At the beginning, your fourth master also had to arrange people to serve me all day long, but I resigned, and there were so many people that I panicked. ”
"The fourth master loves his wife, everyone knows it", Mu Mo smiled sweetly, thinking of the rumors in the house, when the Wei family was full of beheadings, the fourth young master Wang Zheng tried his best to dissuade him, and he looked for the nobles of the central court for a long time to save his wife's life, and the fourth lady acted low-key and gentle, and because of the pressure on her husband, she didn't say more.
Looking at the Buddhist scriptures, he asked, "The "Mantra of Death" copied by Madame?" ”
"Hmm." The fourth lady paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know how to read?" ”
"How many words can I read? It's just that when the brothers died, I saw that the monks of the temple copied it", Mu Yu said, scratching his head shyly, and sincerely persuaded him, "Madame rest assured, the world often says, 'sincerity is spiritual', Madame copied the Buddhist scriptures with all her heart, and the sacrificed dead will be able to pass away, and the spirit of heaven will also bless Mrs. Peace and happiness, turn evil into good fortune, and everything goes well!" ”
"You girl......" The fourth lady looked at Mu Mo for a moment, but she didn't know the warmth and coldness of people, and now the Wang family, lest they avoid her, there are still people who can do such a thing.
"Madam", an old lady came in with a sandalwood food box, and when she saw Mu Wu, she couldn't help but be stunned, and frowned again, "The magpie girl doesn't know where to go, call a carriage, and don't go back for half a day!" The offerings of the fast have been prepared. ”
"The magpie is stingy and arrogant, a mouth is the most offensive, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed again, you open the food box, I'll see what meals have been prepared." The fourth lady said, folded the copied Buddhist scriptures, and asked the old lady to open the food box.
The old lady followed her words, Mu Yu looked at the food box, and when she saw the dishes in the middle, she already understood in her heart:
Liulan has entered the dining room of the Wang's West Courtyard as planned.
Saying goodbye to the fourth lady, Mu Mo went straight to the dining room, saw Liulan busy working inside, knocked on the door, and said, "I just came from the refreshment room, and a sister asked me to ask, did you borrow that plate from here?" If yes, please go and get it. ”
"Which sister? What kind of plate? The grandmother who cut vegetables in the dining room asked, "Why are you a girl who is so stupid and can't speak clearly!" I didn't figure out who was so lazy that they borrowed something from someone and had to pick it up themselves! ”
"I was originally in the refreshment room of the East Courtyard, and said that the fourth grandmother was going to prepare some refreshments for the Buddha, and the people in the refreshment room were preparing things for Grandma Lu to enter the palace, and they couldn't spare time, so they came over to help, but I really didn't figure it out, do you want to take a look with me?"
"I'll take you little!" The old grandmother snorted, raised her knife and threatened, "I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, and if I dare to ask your grandmother to run away with you, it's no wonder that I was supported by someone!" Go to the broom star who eats fasting and recites the Buddha! ”
"Mama, forget it", Liulan hurriedly grabbed Mama, "I'll go and have a look." ”
"It's all unimportant!" The old lady put down the kitchen knife and still cursed.
Liulan put down her work, followed Mu Yu out quickly, and when she got to a place where there was no one, she asked in a low voice, "How are you?" ”
"Everything is fine, it's just that the Wang family is far from being as convenient as I imagined, and it still takes some time to get in touch with the people in the palace, when did you come?" Mu Mo also asked Liulan in a low voice, his eyes still looking around vigilantly.
"It's only been a day or two, and the Chi guards left Xuechi with Sister Green Vale, saying that Xuechi is clever and close to you, and if there is an emergency in the future, it may be able to help us back." Liulan said, still slowly following Mu Mo to the refreshment room.
"Oh", Mu Mo listened to Liulan's words, and secretly thought to himself, Chi Lu is not so careful, and the bloody matter is probably arranged by Sikong Heng. After being so far away, still worrying about these trivial matters, Mu Mo couldn't help but be secretly moved in his heart.
"That's right", Liulan looked around, and suddenly lowered her voice, "There is a big event in the West Courtyard next month, I'm afraid it will be a rare opportunity to show up." I'll find a way to move at that time and transfer you to the West Courtyard to help. ”
"Okay, you're secretly careful." Mu Yu said, still looking around.
When they arrived at the door of the refreshment room, the two pretended to inquire about the plates, and then went back to their respective errands.
A month later, on the birthday of Wang Xing, the second master of the West Courtyard, the government and the opposition came to congratulate him, and there was a shortage of manpower in various parts of the West Courtyard, and he was anxious to borrow people from the East Courtyard; Mu Mo volunteered to help in the refreshment room of the West Courtyard and prepare refreshments for the guests.
More than a dozen refreshments of different categories were prepared, and Mu Yu carried them on a tray to the Zizhu Garden, where the guests were.
In the midst of the leaves of the purple bamboo forest, more than a dozen white-clothed Confucian scholars sat on the ground, forming a circle, regardless of the position. Among them, there is a silver brocade man with curved eyes and thick lips, a smile like Maitreya, and a thin figure, and a woman in a gorgeous costume with sword eyebrows and cold eyes and a staring expression sitting next to him.
When Lu Shi saw someone breaking into the bamboo forest, his eyes had already chased over, and seeing Mu Yu's extremely angry eyes, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, beckoned her to his side and asked: "These teas, which one is which, who will go first and then whom, do you remember?" ”
"Grandma rest assured, Xiang Xiang's identity is the most noble, first put three spoons of Taiping Houkui's strong tea and soft duck fat crisp in the white porcelain tea bowl, Yan Huashangshu is slightly less qualified, and use the celadon tea set to use the Wuyi big red robe and the chewy red bean paste glutinous rice cake that has been served twice on the celadon tea set, Shi Shaogongzi brewed the new West Lake Longjing and purple rice Qingtuan with a purple clay pot, Yin Shizi and the two sons used the Lu'an melon slices that were boiled with boiling water, and finally went to the uncle, grandmother, fourth master and fourth grandmother."
Mu Mo lowered his voice, finished with a smile, and bowed half-kneeling to wait for Lu's reply.
Lu Shi hadn't spoken yet, but he heard someone praise at the banquet: "What a clever girl!" ”
