Chapter 203: Little Rhinoceros
After the tenth princess and Lin Tianlang left the palace gate, they did not go back to the Lin Mansion directly, but changed to an ordinary carriage and horse on the halfway road and went to the palace instead.
When the two of them came to the door, it was the time for dinner in the palace, and anyone who knew some rules would never come to the door at this moment.
Hearing the maid's words, Shen Baiyan and Song Zhigang sat down at the dinner table.
The barbarian is getting older, and he doesn't like to be fed by a nurse in his own room, and he shouts to eat with Shen Baiyan and Song Zhi.
She has always been the pearl in the palm of her parents' palms, nothing is too much, and nothing is not allowed.
She has a small high chair by herself, sits obediently, and waits for Cha Yun to serve a bowl of corn and green bean soup for herself.
"Right at the door right now?" Song Zhi asked. "Looks like my cousin is fine, but why are they here now?"
Shen Baiyan's eyes flashed, but he said quietly: "There are relatives on the left and right, it's okay, let them in." ”
Song Zhi saw that Shen Baiyan was so simple, so he said: "The princess and cousin probably haven't used it yet, you go and let the small kitchen add a few dishes, and add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”
The tenth princess and Lin Tianlang entered the door full of worries, but they were relieved by the smell of food.
The tenth princess cried just now, although she later redressed the powder, but her face was not as good as when she first put on makeup.
She did too much drama in the palace, and when she came to the palace for some reason, she couldn't even raise the strength to greet her, so she only sat down weakly and glanced at Shen Baiyan.
"You don't need to be waited on here, you can go out first." Song Zhi was obviously feeding the barbarians, but he seemed to have seen through the thoughts of the ten princesses.
Cha Yun and the others quickly retreated, and Shen Baiyan intercepted the spoon in Song Zhi's hand and said, "You use a bowl of soup first, and I'll feed it." ”
Song Zhi was as good as a stream, seeing that the tenth princess wanted to speak and stopped, and Lin Tianlang looked at his wife worriedly.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. Song Zhi took a sip of soup and asked.
This soup is tea tree mushroom chicken soup, the soup is delicious, and Lin Tianlang also served a bowl to the ten princesses when he saw this.
The tenth princess looked at Shen Baiyan and choked up, "Cousin, Mama Yang has gone." ”
Song Zhi was shocked by the news, and choked on the soup into his throat, so he turned over and coughed lightly with a handkerchief, and said, "Why is it so sudden, just today?" ”
"Three days ago, now the corpse is estimated to have stopped in Yizhuang, and I have asked people to investigate."
Shen Baiyan fed the soup to Man'er spoonful, his hands were very steady, and when he heard the words of the tenth princess, he didn't tremble at all.
Song Zhi took the bowl in Shen Baiyan's hand, Shen Baiyan took the handkerchief and rubbed his hands, and looked at the tenth princess.
As soon as his face turned away from the man'er, his facial features were like a layer of cold frost, sharp and scary, and he asked, "What else?" You can't just find out this and leave the palace in a hurry. ”
The tenth princess grabbed the veil and said solemnly: "It is said that she died of a sudden illness, and the queen mothers of the two palaces are prevaricating." I found a suspicious point, saying that Mama Yang had a tender locust bean in her dinner that day, which had never been on the menu before. ”
"Tender locust beans?" Shen Baiyan and Lin Tianlang had never heard of such a thing.
Lin Tianlang saw that Song Zhi's expression was different, and said, "Sister, what do you think?" ”
Song Zhi felt that this matter was too coincidental and explicit, and she didn't plan to break it at this time, but seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she had no choice but to say: "The month before last, my grandmother sent me a small basket of tender locust beans, saying that it was a kind of bean that Cui Daowu brought from the south, and now it is also planted in my own Zhuangzi." The tender locust beans are crisp, tender and sweet, and extremely delicious. It's just that raw food is poisonous, so someone told me that it must be fried on high heat before it can be poisoned. To be on the safe side, it's best to ask your subordinates to eat first. ”
"You ate?" Shen Baiyan asked hurriedly.
Speaking of this, Song Zhi shook his head gently, "There are so many delicacies in the world, I don't want to risk other people's lives, just to eat a bite of delicacies, so I asked people to burn them so as not to eat them by mistake." ”
"So coincidentally?" Lin Tianlang muttered to himself.
"Coincidentally? It should be said that Skynet is magnificent but not leaky! How could such a rare food be given to the palace people?! ”
The tenth princess was very angry at first, then her eyebrows relaxed, and she shook her head again and again: "That's not right. If this dish is rare, you don't have to say your real name, just say the beans next to it. Why do you say so clearly, isn't it giving authority to others? ”
"Yes, the person who came to deliver it was also the slave maid that my grandmother used to use. She made it clear that she had just wanted me to taste the food, and she had no other thoughts. ”
Mrs. Cui has always wanted to ease the relationship between the two families, and there are often some contacts, and Zhang Xinlan occasionally comes to visit.
"You said that the Empress Dowager Jia'an, do you know that your mother once gave this tender locust bean as a gift? If she knew, it would be like dirty water poured on her, if she didn't know, she would indeed be the biggest suspect in Mama Yang's death. Lin Tianlang grabbed the key to the matter.
The tenth princess suddenly let out a sigh of relief, leaned back in the chair, and said, "It's all my fault." ”
Everyone looked at her, Lin Tianlang held the hand of the tenth princess and said, "Don't think nonsense, how could it be your fault?" ”
"If it weren't for Mama always protecting me openly and secretly in the palace, she wouldn't have provoked the resentment of the Queen Mother. In addition, Mama and the Empress Dowager Jia'an also have old grievances. The tenth princess said guiltily.
"There are still many doubts about this matter, and it is not the time to draw conclusions. Don't be suspicious, princess. Let Jingyu check it out. Song Zhi and Shen Baiyan glanced at each other and said.
Fortunately, there is a small charcoal stove under the soup on this table, and it can't be cold for a while.
Lin Tianlang nodded in agreement, picked up the bowl, and fed a spoonful to the tenth princess.
The tenth princess subconsciously dodged, and glanced at Shen Baiyan and Song Zhi very embarrassedly.
"What are you ashamed of? The two of them don't know how many times more numb than us, drink quickly. Lin Tianlang said without changing his face.
Shen Baiyan's skin has always been very thick, and he didn't react much, so he only sandwiched a piece of fat roast goose and ate it.
Song Zhi coughed lightly and said to Lin Tianlang, "Cousin, I haven't asked you yet." What sins did you suffer in the palace? ”
Before Lin Tianlang could answer, he saw the tenth princess purse her lips and frown: "I kept asking him to copy the scriptures, and his wrists were swollen." It's all some small torture skills, which were originally used on the lower palace concubines, but they were embarrassed to use them on the husband to vent their anger! It's disgusting. ”
"Yikes." After the tenth princess said that, she realized that Lin Tianlang had been holding the soup bowl, and said busily: "Hurry up, give it to me, don't hold it, I'll drink it myself." ”
Seeing that the two were as affectionate as honey, Song Zhi was also happy for them.
There are so many husbands and wives in the world, or they respect each other like guests, or they have become resentful couples, how many couples can be like northern geese?
After dinner, the two went back.
Song Zhi took Man'er to the garden for a short walk, and when he came back, he saw Su Shui walking out of his yard and was about to leave.
She came to greet Song Zhi and Man'er, and Man'er looked at this dark-colored woman very curiously.
Su Shui also looked at this mother and daughter with excellent appearances, really like fairies and little fairies.
"It's Aunt Sushui." Song Zhi touched Man'er's little head and said.
"Princess, by all means." Su Shui took a step back, very frightened.
"It doesn't matter." Song Zhi smiled gently.
"Aunt Su Shui." Man'er is a sweet-mouthed, crisp and crisp saying.
Su Shui was still a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Princess, princess, I'll go on an errand first." ”
Song Zhi nodded and watched Su Shui go away.
The barbarian asked the nurse to take it away, and Song Zhi returned to the room, and saw Shen Baiyan standing in front of the desk, looking down at a book of poems written by Song Zhi in his spare time.
"You asked Su Shui to check?" Song Zhi walked to Shen Baiyan's side, and was suddenly pulled into his arms by him.
"Hmm." Shen Baiyan rested his chin on Song Zhi's shoulder and said, "The maidservant girl next to the tenth princess came from the side door to report that Mama Yang's body has been buried. ”
"How can you be buried before seven days?" Song Zhi's voice gently slid into Shen Baiyan's ears.
"Well, so there's a problem. I asked Sushui to check. Shen Baiyan said.
There are too many complicated things these days, Song Zhi guards the two children, and sometimes deliberately does not think about many things. When I saw Su Shui today, I suddenly remembered what happened to the little monk, so I asked, "A few days ago, how was the matter with the little monk?" ”
Shen Baiyan didn't speak, he let go of the arm holding Song Zhi, looked at her and asked softly, "What little monk?" ”
Song Zhi was puzzled and said, "It's the little monk in Anruo Temple." ”
"Anruo Temple is a deserted temple, where did the little monk come from?" Shen Baiyan's eyes were clear, not as if he was faint.
Song Zhi was reflected in his eyes, shrinking into a small person.
She suddenly understood the secret and subtlety of this matter, bit her lower lip, and talked about the next matter, "Let's take a look at Chu Ji, and take him to play with Yang'er month by month." ”
Shen Baiyan nodded, and went to the first room hand in hand with Song Zhi.
Chuji and Yang'er are only a few months apart, and they look like siblings, and people who are not familiar with them really can't tell the difference for a while.
The baby looks very cute in the cradle with a pair of dark eyes.
Zhuyue and the two nurses sat on one side and gossiped, and the nurse saw that Song Zhi and Shen Baiyan were coming, and they were blessed, so they went to wait outside the door.
The weather is getting cooler, and a thick cotton tent is hung under the porch, so there is no need to worry about the nurse getting cold from the wind outside the door.
Zhuyue held a shirt embroidered with half the sun in his hand, and placed a similar one on his side, which should have been ready.
Song Zhi picked it up curiously, and saw a little black rhinoceros with a round head and a round brain embroidered on it, which could be said to be cute and cute.
Song Zhi handed the shirt to Shen Baiyan to look at, and said to Zhuyue: "Isn't this the fabric in your dowry?" How did you take it out to make a shirt, this shirt is made for Chu Ji? ”
Zhuyue smiled embarrassedly and said, "I know that the little boy's shirt is not lacking, but he has nothing to do and does something to play." ”
"How cute." Song Zhi touched the embroidered little rhinoceros and smiled with a pair of eyes.
Shen Baiyan also praised it rarely, "It's really cute." ”
Song Zhi picked up Yang'er's shirt again, looked at the sun on the shirt, and said to Zhuyue: "If the whole sun is pierced, it will be too powerful and not suitable for children." Why don't you embroider a rising sun? ”
"The rising sun?" After thinking about it, she nodded, and said, "Okay." ”
