As soon as Yu Zidu returned to Beijing, he heard the news that Shangguan Hong was dismissed and investigated, and he remembered Qingdai in his heart, and later inquired to know that the old lady was also sick, so he went to the hat alley the next day.

The gate of Shangguan's Mansion was closed, and Mo Zhe knocked on the door and handed the worship post in. After a while, the door opened, and the housekeeper hurriedly ran out and saluted Yuzi: "1 small one to Yu Shizi, please say goodbye!" There have been many events at home recently, and the old man went out early in the morning.

Yu Zidu smiled and said, "The old lady can be in Fushan"

The housekeeper sighed and said, "The old lady is here, and she has been sick for the past two days!" ”

"The old lady is sick?" Yu Zidu was surprised: "Yu wants to go and see the old lady." ”

The housekeeper let Yu Zidu enter the door, "The little one will take you to the side hall to rest first, and then help you pass the word." ”

"It's okay, bother the housekeeper."

"The prince has killed the villain, please!"

Without waiting for a moment, the housekeeper ran back and asked Yuzi to go to Rongxi Hall.

Yu Zidu followed the housekeeper into the Rongxi Hall, and a familiar shadow on the door jumped into view.

The girl dressed in a green embroidered orchid grass satin orange stood under the corridor, looking at the medicine bowl in front of her with slightly lowered eyes, her slender fingers gently picked up the spoon next to her and scooped a spoonful of soup medicine to her mouth, chún brushed the edge of the sweet white porcelain spoon, took a sip, looked up and nodded to the maid who served the medicine, "Well, just now... Okay, I'll take it in and give it to my grandmother! ”

In the past hundred days and nights, when the person who often appeared in his dreams stood in front of him, Yuzi's calm heart was slightly rippling, I wonder if she was okay?

Qing Dai took the wooden tray from the maid's hand, and was about to go to the door, when she turned around and caught a glimpse of Yu Zidu at the gate, "Hey, Brother Long, when will you come back?" ”

Seeing Qing Dai chún chún Jiao lù smiled, Yu Zidu's original hanging heart finally let go, entered the courtyard with the housekeeper, walked to Qing Dai's side, and said with a smile: "I just came back the day before yesterday, I heard that the old lady is sick, come and take a look." ”

"With the eldest brother here, my grandmother's illness will definitely get better quickly! Quick, quick, let's get inside! ”

The maid helped to open the curtain, and Qingdai entered the house and put down the medicine bowl, "Grandmother, Yu Shizi is here." ”

Yuzi gave the old lady a salute, and the old lady said: "The prince is polite, the old body is inconvenient, and I hope the prince will not be surprised!" ”

"It's okay." Yu Zidu inquired about the old lady's condition, so he proposed to show the old lady's pulse, and after a diagnosis, he noticed something wrong, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "The old lady's pulse is calm, and her body is not afraid that she is depressed in xiōng, and everything else is fine." ”

The old lady smiled and nodded, "Yu Shizi has a heart!" Recently, there has been a lot of abundance at home, and the old body is old, and the mental strength is not good, and it is just a temporary discomfort. ”

"Shangguan has done an outstanding job, and he has always been self-controlled, this time the emperor must be worried about the people's livelihood, and he is angry for a while, and when the emperor calms down, he will definitely give Shangguan a justice. Tomorrow when I enter the palace to give my order, I will also ask for Lord Shangguan. ”

"There is a son of Lao." The old lady nodded lightly, "The body is not afraid of the shadow, just talk about things, this is not my son's fault, but it has been implicated." If that's all I have, I wouldn't be worried about this......"

Yuzidu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qing Dai saw that the two of them were just talking, and the medicine on the table was about to run out of heat, so she interrupted the two of them, "Grandmother, drink the medicine." If you don't drink it again, it will be cold. ”

"Let me see this medicine." Qing Dai came over with a medicine bowl, Yu Zi reached out and wanted to take the medicine bowl to see, his fingertips touched Qing Dai's hand, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand, "I want to see how the medicine is?" ”

Qing Dai smiled and handed the medicine bowl to Yu Zidu, "The tonic prescribed by the doctor." ”

Yu Zi smelled it and nodded, "The medicine is gentle, drinking some is more beneficial, but it can't be used more, it's enough to use it for three or five days a month." ”

"Well, I made a note of it." Qing Dai nodded, took the medicine bowl and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady glanced at Yu Zidu and Qing Dai, holding the medicine bowl thoughtfully, Shaoqing, lowered her head and drank the medicine in her hand in one breath, "Qing Dai, do you go to the small kitchen to see if the jujube paste steamed cake is ready?" ”

Qingdai was stunned, and after thinking about it, grandmother must have something to say to Yuzi, so she went out with the medicine bowl.

As soon as Qing Dai left, the old lady sighed lightly, "Yu Shizi and Qi Wangfu are acquainted?" ”

Yu Zidu nodded, and said suspiciously: "Could it be that what happened in the mansion in the past few days is related to the Qi Palace?" ”

Qingdai sat next to the stove pit and pulled the bellows, and the cook in the small kitchen next to her was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, "I said three girls, don't pull it, this fire is enough, let people see that you help the slave and maid pull the bellows, how is it good?" ”

"Oh? Is it enough? Qing Dai pulled it twice, watched the flames in the hearth snort upward, and then stopped, "It's okay, I want to pull it myself, and others can't blame you." ”

"Get up, then! It's dirty here. The cook smiled and begged, "You have to wait for the steamed cake for a while, why don't you go and sit on the kang next door for a while?" ”

Qing Dai didn't move, her hands on her cheeks stared at the flames in the furnace, "You're busy, it's warm here, I'll sit here and leave." ”

The cook mō mō the beads of sweat on her forehead, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't know what to do with this little ancestor.

Next to him, Tao Huā touched the cook, "Aunt Wang, the girl doesn't want to move when she thinks about something, don't worry, I'll do your job by myself, I'm watching it here." ”

The cook replied, "Oh, then I'll go and get busy first." The fire is too strong, there is fire poison, the girl is weak, you can watch it, and I will remind the girl not to sit there later.

Tao Huā nodded, sent the cook to work, and squatted beside Qing Dai, "Girl, what are you thinking?" ”

Qing Dai took a stick, pulled and pulled the charcoal fire, "The fire is burning, and some people pour oil on it."

Do you give up your life to put out the fire, or do you run for your life? ”

"Are you stunned by the fire burning demons?" Momo Huā was confused, "What is the fire extinguishing, running for your life?"

Shouldn't you run for your life if you catch fire? ”

Qing Dai nodded thoughtfully, put down the firewood stick in her hand, clapped her hands, and said with a smile: "Well, it can't be delayed for a while, so you have to prepare with both hands." Go to the main room to see, has the old lady finished speaking? ”

Tao Huā glanced at Qing Dai, who had already run to Aunt Wang to ask for steamed cakes, and shook her head helplessly and went out.

After a while, Tao Huā returned, and heard Aunt Wang's anxious voice shouting, "My good girl, burn carefully!" ”

Qing Dai blew the steamed cake from Aunt Wang's plate twice, "Are you done?" ”

"Well, the old lady told you to go back."

Qing Dai quickly stuffed the steamed cake into her mouth, chewed it twice, smacked her mouth and said, "Go right away." Aunt Wang, it's delicious, cut a plate and I'll bring it to my grandmother to taste. ”

Qing Dai washed her hands and wiped her mouth clean, causing Tao Huā and Aunt Wang to snicker on the side.

When Qing Dai returned to the main house, the old lady and Yuzi were chatting happily, "Grandmother, eldest brother Long, come and try the steamed cake with jujube paste, Aunt Wang's skills in making snacks are really good!" ”

Qing Dai first gave the old lady a portion in a small plate, and then got another piece and brought it to Yu Zidu, "Brother Long, you can also taste it." ”

Yuzi took it with a smile, and put a small piece in her mouth, the rice, bean and jujube are all in one, soft and glutinous and sweet, melt in the mouth, it feels really good, it's like, it's as sweet as the smile on her face.

Qingdai probe asked, "How's it going?" What does it taste like? ”

Raising his head, he met the eyes that were as bright as a star, and Yuzi's smile became more and more gentle, "Well, the taste is very good." ”

"Grandmother, you hear me! Brother Long praised this steamed cake for doing a good job, and I can also open a pastry shop such as Wuwei Zhai and Qiwei Ju tomorrow! ”

Yu Zidu looked at the jujube red pastry in the celadon small plate and asked, "This is the 9 you made"

The old lady smiled and said, "Where did she make it, it was made by the cook in my little kitchen." She's just a mouthful, just a way to do it. ”

It's not that people guide practice through theory, and then sum up experience from practice to continue to improve, where can you make so much food in this place with limited ingredients?

Qingdai pouted, "I don't like to eat, where will I think about these, let alone make a good meal for you." ”

The old lady's eyes swept over Zhi Dai, and then glanced at Yu Zidu behind her, "Let Zidu, you see and laugh, my girl looks at Wen Wen quietly on weekdays, but in fact, her mouth is poor."

"Grandmother" Qingdai was a little ashamed, and then she felt that the old lady's attitude today was a little strange, and when she first entered the door, she was still called Shizi, right? When did you change your tune again? And why is he suddenly so familiar with Yuzi?

Over there, Yu Zidu continued to taste the unfinished steamed jujube paste cake, and by the way, he looked at the embarrassment of Qingdai.

The old lady glanced at Qingdai, "I know that you are filial, grandmother is not in good health these days and can't go out, you help grandmother go to Xingshan Temple to get back the scriptures and the jade Buddha pendant that was consecrated with the host." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the old lady went to Xingshan Temple, she did ask the guest monk to help her ask a few scriptures copied by the monks in the temple to come back, as for the jade Buddha pendant, why didn't she seem to have a little impression?

Qing Dai wondered, "Grandmother, when did you put the Jade Buddha pendant in Xingshan Temple?" ”

"You'll know when you go."

Yu Zidu sat in the old lady's room for a moment, and the person sent to find Shangguan Hong returned. Shangguan Hong didn't expect Yuzi to visit suddenly, it was like seeing the dawn in the darkness and running to Rongxi Hall in person.

"Old lady, Long Yi and Lord Shangguan went to the study to talk, and said goodbye, if you feel unwell, just send someone to go to the Guogong Mansion to find me with the name card I left." Yuzi got up to say goodbye, and suddenly turned around and asked Qing Dai for the recipe for the steamed cake with jujube paste, "Grandfather has been fond of sweets in recent days, I eat well today, and I want to take it back and let his old man taste it." ”

"I'll transcribe it in a moment, and I'll have someone send it to your father's study." Qingdai Fufu said goodbye to Yuzi, and Yuzi nodded, "Well, Sister Qingdai has worked hard to serve the old lady, so there is no need to send it." ”

When the old lady on the side saw this scene, she nodded and smiled, but Shangguan Hong was thoughtful.

Yu Zidu walked up to Shangguan Hong, "Lord Shangguan, please!" ”

Shangguan Hong returned to his senses, "Oh, Shizi, please first!" ”！。
