"Month by month, what about edelweiss? Why didn't you see me today, did you come back last night? "Song Zhi had a nightmare last night, he didn't remember what he dreamed of, but he broke out in a cold sweat, so he could only get up early in the morning to take a bath.

Edelweiss usually comes in with the maid who brings the water in, calling in front of Song Zhi's bed, and if Song Zhi is in bed, it will jump on the bed to wake her up.

Meteor was carefully drying her wet hair with a charcoal basin, and Song Zhi saw that Zhuyue had just come to deliver breakfast, so he asked Zhuyue about the whereabouts of Edelweiss.

"It's probably going out to play, I've asked Cha Yun and Cha Xiang to go out to find them, it's in the house left and right, don't worry, Miss, drink a bowl of sweet porridge to warm your stomach first."

"Edelweiss can climb trees and walls, and its temperament is not restrained, so I have to think of a way to make it know how to return home at night." Song Zhi touched his hair, only to feel that it was seven or eight points dry, so he asked Meteor to take the charcoal basin farther away.

The charcoal in the Ruyi Pavilion is bought from the Feixiang Building, and they specialize in the spice business, but they only make this batch of charcoal a year, and there is no smoke smell at all, only a warm and light fragrance.

Qin's mother also praised this fragrant charcoal as excellent, the charcoal is slowly baked with medicinal materials, and it is all warm-up incense, which is very good for women. When Song Zhi heard her say this, he divided a few baskets of this incense charcoal to the Lin family and Lin Tianqing.

A few days ago, when Jiang Changwan came to Song Zhiyuan as a guest, she also took a basket with her. Today is the winter solstice, Jiang Changwan said that she wanted to give Song Zhi a gift in return, and it happened that there was a new Jiangnan cook in Jinghaihou's mansion, so Jiang Changwan invited her to come to the mansion to eat rice balls.

"Isn't this rice ball the Lantern Festival?" Song Zhi looked at the white and chubby rice balls in the spoon, and only felt that it was no different from the Lantern Festival.

"You taste it first." Jiang Changwan has been taking this rice ball as a meal for the past few days, and Song Zhi saw that her face was a little rounder.

Song Zhi took a bite of the rice balls, and the strong fragrance of sesame seeds, peanuts and roses immediately poured into his mouth, and his tongue was about to slip.

Song Zhi ate three times in a row before he stopped and said: "The glutinous rice balls I ate before are more delicious, the skin is more viscous, how is the filling matched?" The rose scent is the finishing touch! ”

"I don't know how he does it, I just know it's delicious." Jiang Changwan ate a bowl and reached out to take another bowl.

Song Zhi looked down at the layer of oil flowers floating in the soup bowl, "Sister should eat a few bowls less, this filling is also mixed with lard, and it is so sweet and greasy, if you eat too much, you will definitely gain weight!" ”

Ruoquan, who was standing behind Jiang Changwan, nodded again and again, and made a 'six' gesture to Song Zhi.

Jiang Changwan is fond of sweetness, Song Zhi has always known it, but she has never seen her so obsessed.

There were six in a bowl of glutinous rice balls, and Song Zhi felt full after eating a bowl. But after she saw Jiang Changwan drink a cup of diet tea, she actually called the kitchen for another bowl.

Song Zhi wanted to speak and stopped, she was a little surprised to find that she also wanted to eat, but she was obviously full, but her mouth was still very greedy, as if she had an extra mouth on her tongue, shouting uncontrollably!

Song Zhi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, only to feel that the root of her tongue was trembling faintly, and this thought made her feel cold. "Sister, don't eat it! Tangyuan is just a satisfying meal, how can you eat it as a meal! ”

Jiang Changwan was stunned by her stern tone, and unconsciously put the bowl on the round table inlaid with white jade and mahogany.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Changwan glanced at the remaining rice balls, but she didn't continue to eat them.

"How long have you been eating these rice balls? Do you eat like this every day? Song Zhi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything, just asked Jiang Changwan a few words after consideration.

"It's been almost a month, I eat like this every day, and in winter, Miss doesn't like to move, and she has grown a few pounds!" Ruoquan seemed to hold back for a long time, and said it all in one breath.

Jiang Changwan pursed her lips, with a weak expression, but she didn't refute. Song Zhi glanced at Jiang Changwan, only to feel that her face plate was a whole circle bigger, her eyes were a little smaller, and the whole person looked a lot more stupid.

Song Zhi walked straight into Jiang Changwan's inner room, took a bronze mirror out, and said to Jiang Changwan: "My sister has always loved beauty, and she doesn't care about it for food?" ”

Jiang Changwan looked at herself in the mirror, touched her cheeks, and her eyes suddenly turned red. Song Zhi didn't expect Jiang Changwan to cry, so he hurriedly asked Ruoquan to bring the bronze mirror in.

"Sister, I'm not a heart, it's just that after eating this glutinous rice ball, I will think about it all day long, and even dream about it at night, it's really shocking!" Jiang Changwan's crimson pleated skirt was two pieces deeper, and it was wet with her tears.

Song Zhi was stunned when he heard the word 'demon stunned', "Although this glutinous rice ball is delicious, it is not so delicious." "Song Zhi is also a person who can enjoy the appetite, but even the dragon liver and phoenix marrow will not be eaten every day.

Song Zhi twisted her eyebrows, reached out and picked up the remaining bowl of rice balls, she poked a rice ball with a porcelain spoon, and the fragrant and sweet filling flowed out, but there was nothing unusual.

"Where did the cook come from?" Ruomei lifted the curtain and walked in, and a cunning cold wind lingered behind Song Zhi's neck.

The circle of pure white rabbit fur inlaid on the edge of Jiang Changwan's skirt trembled silently, and it was the reeds swaying in the wind in the field. She didn't reply, the whole person seemed to be suddenly still, but Ruomei said, "It seems to be Aunt Sun's fellow villager, I heard that my hometown was affected by the disaster, so I fled all the way to the city, and Aunt Sun introduced me into the house." ”

"Aunt Sun? But is that your sister's biological mother? "Song Zhi is not very clear about the affairs of the Jiang family's inner house, but everyone knows that Jinghai Hou is so beautiful and beautiful, and there are more than a dozen aunts and concubines in the house.

Jiang Changwan laughed helplessly, with a rare cold emotion in her eyes, "I have a lot of sisters, my sister has to make it clearer." ”

"My sister made fun of me again, how could I remember it so clearly?" Although Song Zhi said this, she was still thinking carefully, and a delicate face flashed in her mind, not very clear, but she could still see that she was a beautiful woman who stood out. "Is it the one with the most outstanding appearance, is it called Jiang Rou? Aunt Sun is her biological mother, right? ”

Jiang Changwan nodded, like a heavy rain pouring down, washing away all the silt blocking the estuary, and some hidden tricks were suddenly opened. Jiang Changwan was silent, she closed her eyes, stroked her cheek, and sighed softly.

"Sister?" Song Zhi called softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone's sweet dreams.

Jiang Changwan raised her eyes and glanced at Song Zhi, and then glanced at the bowl of rice balls.

She stretched out her hand and picked up the bowl of rice balls. A Xiushan jade bracelet as green as an ancient pond was stuck on her snow-white and plump wrist, and she stirred the soup bowl with a spoon and ate another rice ball.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Song Zhi looked at Jiang Changwan's movements and was puzzled.

Jiang Changwan hooked her fingers behind her, Ruomei bent down, Jiang Changwan commanded a few words in her ear, and said, "Ruoquan go with you." The two maidservants glanced at each other and hurried away

"A few days ago, did you hear about the emperor coughing up blood?" Jiang Changwan started another conversation, which made Song Zhi a little surprised, but he also followed the words.

"Well, didn't you just cough up some blood stasis, wouldn't it be okay?" Having said that, Song Zhi remembered that Emperor Shun'an died in the coming winter in his previous life, and this coughing up blood was probably a precursor, but Song Zhi knew that this matter was not so simple, and it was not easy to say it directly, so she added in a low voice, "The emperor is old, and this is also ordinary." ”

"Then you say that among the emperor's princes, who can inherit the throne?" Jiang Changwan ate the bowl of rice balls and pressed her lip with a handkerchief.

"The emperor likes the seventeenth prince the most, but he is too young." Song Zhi said vaguely that the person who inherited the unification in his previous life was the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince was also the person who Rui Xi was attached to. The eighth prince succeeded to the throne, which was naturally something that Song Zhi did not want to see.

"The eighth prince has not yet married a family, and Concubine Qi Niangniang showed a sentence or two not long ago, wanting to marry a concubine from a famous family for the prince in the future." Jiang Changwan and Song Zhi were very close, and they were extremely careful to lower their voices, and Jiang Changwan's breath brushed on the tips of Song Zhi's ears, causing her goosebumps.

"There are many women from famous families in Beijing, but if they ask for concubines, there are very few." The charcoal pot was burning vigorously, but Jiang Changwan felt that her fingertips were slightly cold, she casually took a Ruhua-colored warm sleeve and stuffed her hands into it.

There are indeed not many famous daughters in Jingzhong at marriageable age, and Concubine Qi herself is quite high-born, so naturally she will not find a wife for her son who does not match her background. Song Zhi thought, if he was Concubine Qi, who would he choose first? She didn't even need to think about it, her eyes fell on Jiang Changwan, and the other party also raised her head to catch her worried look.

"Probably some people think that the royal woman is extremely noble, even if she can't do it herself, she doesn't want me to be it." Jiang Changwan glanced at the empty soup bowl again, "I want to thank her, I can't think of such a way for a while." ”

Song Zhi is such a clear person, just by clicking this sentence and a half, he knows the deep meaning, "Sister must have done it?" ”

"The servants of the Jiang Mansion all have rules, and the foreign cooks must not rashly serve the food in the inner courtyard, and she brought this rice ball by the way on the day she came to see me. Of the two bowls of rice balls, I picked one bowl first, and she ate the remaining bowl. Jiang Changwan pinched the porcelain spoon with her fingertips, checked it and let go, and the porcelain bowls and spoons touched, making a crisp sound. I have asked Ruomei to check, Jiang Rou acted recklessly, she couldn't think so thoroughly, there must be omissions, that is, because of her temperament, I only believed the bowl of rice balls she brought. ”

"What's going on with my sister these days? You should have been aware of this trick a long time ago. "Jiang Changwan is not a scheming person, but she can also be called smart.

Jiang Changwan tilted her head, avoiding Song Zhi's gaze.
