The eldest princess used her brains to keep Xiangru in the capital, Xiangru used her brains in the kitchen to 'get' what dishes for the little master tonight, and the little girls outside were gossiping about who and whose family was going to come to ransom and bring them back to say goodbye, and the cooks were busy talking about some gossip, and occasionally scolding the little rabbit cubs at home only knew that they were not good at fighting, and they would not be productive in the future.

Days like this are much more fun than in the kitchen of the 'female' infirmary.

Young Master Rui's foot injury is better every day, almost watching him change his crutches to single crutches and then abandon crutches to walk normally, except that he can't run and jump, he can't see that he has been injured at all, Xiangru knows that he should go back to the palace after his task is completed.

Xiangru 'took time' to find a time for dinner to find 'Chun' Fen to mention his return to the palace, 'Chun' Fen seemed to wake up from a dream and just remembered that this Xiangru was not a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, while telling Xiangru to say something reluctant, after a while hurriedly went back to the young master to report.

Later, 'Chun' Fen brought people to knock on Xiangru's room 'door', several people held trays in their hands, and there were reward envelopes and some gifts on the trays, 'Chun' Fen said that Mrs. Hou and the young master were rewarded together, let her take them back to play, and by the way, the house will arrange a car to send her back to the palace early tomorrow morning.

Xiangru hurriedly thanked and accepted, and asked whether she should go to thank the eldest princess Hou Ye, but was persuaded by 'Chun' Fen, saying that it was too late today, and she would just say goodbye before leaving tomorrow morning.

Xiangru thanked her again, and then respectfully sent 'Chun' Fen and the others out, and turned around to pack her luggage overnight.

The next day, Xiangru got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to make the last breakfast for Young Master Rui, and at the same time told the cooks the news that she was going back to the palace.

After breakfast, before the eldest princess and the young lady went to the eldest princess's mansion, Xiangru came to the main room to pay a visit, and was led into the house by the girls to kowtow to the eldest princess to say goodbye.

"Doctor He, thank you for taking care of the young master these days, the young master has recovered so well thanks to you." The eldest princess smiled kindly.

"The eldest princess is a false award, this is the duty of a servant." Xiangru stood on the ground with her head bowed slightly, looking submissive.

"Doctor He, some things may be said a little earlier now, I wonder if you have ever thought about the future?"

"In the future?" Xiangru was puzzled, "The maid is stupid and doesn't know what the eldest princess means, please make it clear." ”

"Mrs. He, you have been in this mansion for more than ten days, everyone knows that you are a food doctor who is good at cooking, and they have a high opinion of you, and I think it is a pity that you leave the palace and go home in the future."

Xiangru raised her face suddenly, but quickly lowered her head again, and quickly apologized, but what she thought in her heart was what the eldest princess meant?

Although Xiangru's self-control ability is good, the momentary gaffe just now was still seen by the eldest princess and Sister-in-law Lu, and the two looked at each other and smiled, knowing more and more in their hearts.

"For this palace, other people's families need to hold the silver to drill into the wall to make a 'hole' to do to me this is just a sentence, in a few years, Mrs. He should go home, and then she will be older, does Mrs. He want to be cost-effective now or do you want to wait until you go home to make plans?"

The eldest princess is the queen mother's own 'daughter', is the sister of the emperor today, she had made up her mind to hug the queen's big 'legs', but she didn't expect the queen's big 'legs' to be held, the eldest princess first stretched out her 'legs' to let herself hug, the eldest princess and the queen are both royal families, and they don't hold it at this time.

"Plop" knelt down for the eldest princess, and said eagerly: "The maid hopes to stay in the capital and settle down, and beg the eldest princess to show the maid a clear way." ”

"It's easy to say, it's not difficult to stay in Beijing, but it's not easy."

"The servant understands that the servant will try her best to gain a firm foothold in the capital and not cause trouble to others."

"Okay, then that's it, Doctor He will have to work a lot harder in the future. It's not early, so let's get ready to go back to the palace. ”

"Yes, Princess Xie has taken care of her these days, and the maid is leaving." Xiangru kowtowed again, got up and stepped back.

"Madam, do you want to send someone to talk to her master?" Sister-in-law Lu stepped forward and suggested.

"It's okay, send someone to make it clear, let them think of a reason to return to Beijing when the time comes, I'll only do the document guide to return to Beijing. Now the seven major families in the Beijing medical 'medicine' industry are tied to each other, and the 'medicine' used in the palace is also the responsibility of the three 'medicine' families. He Xiangru's three masters and uncles are married to the young masters of the other three families, and there are several relationships standing behind her, I will cage her first, and then see how the restless masters in the palace act for us. A calculating smile slowly rose to the corner of the eldest princess's mouth.

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiangru said goodbye to the eldest princess, and then said goodbye to the eldest lady and the young master in turn, and then went back to the house to wait for others to inform her to leave, but when she sat in the house, she inevitably recalled the words of the eldest princess just now, the eldest princess did not give a letter in her words, only hints, but what does this hint mean? Could it be that the eldest princess wants to help her stay in the capital?

Xiangru couldn't figure it out, there are still people in this world who take the initiative to stretch their 'legs' to hug themselves, and they take the initiative to give a benefit after hugging?

At the second quarter of Chenzheng, a girl came to report Xiangru and took her to the car.

Xiangru carried her two burdens and went out with the girl all the way, walking the road that Sister-in-law Lu led her to walk when she came to the Hou Mansion that day, and went straight out of the second 'gate' to the street 'gate', where a carriage had been parked. After Xiangru got into the car, a mother-in-law escorted her back to the palace.

The carriage started slowly, and drove on the way back to the Imperial City with a characteristic shaking frequency.

At this hour, the shops in the city have been opened for business, the street is bustling and lively, Xiangru is lying on the car window and looking at the scene and things outside, and suddenly has a thought, it is difficult to come out of a trip, it is always not good to go back empty-handed, anyway, it is still early, why not get off the car to buy some gadgets and take them back to give away.

Xiangru thought of this idea, and looked at the mother-in-law who was dozing off at the 'door' of the car, quietly 'touched' a few pieces of silver from her arms, moved to the mother-in-law, raised her arm to wake up the mother-in-law, and handed the silver to her, "Good mother-in-law, let me go down and buy something, it's hard to get out, those girls can't spare me when I go back empty-handed." ”

The mother-in-law, who was disturbed and drowsy, was not very happy to see the silver in front of her, her eyes immediately widened, a smile appeared on her face, she grabbed the silver in Xiangru's palm, lifted the curtain and went out to call the coachman, the carriage quickly stopped, and the mother-in-law got off with Xiangru and walked around the nearby shop.

Xiangru went shopping for the first time, didn't understand anything, fortunately, there was a mother-in-law with her, the old man's family was 'shrewd' and sharp-eyed, knew what was good and bad, and took Xiangru to buy some suitable small gifts, and after climbing back into the car, Xiangru gave her mother-in-law a few silver as a thank you gift, and the mother-in-law accepted it with a smile and did not mention it.

The carriage restarted and did not stop halfway, but went straight through the streets and alleys, and entered the Imperial City Street through the city 'gate' to the Imperial Palace.

The unique 'color' of the palace came to the face, and the leisurely mentality that Xiangru had cultivated from living outside the palace for more than ten days slowly converged bit by bit under the pressure of this kind of color, and when the car stopped in front of the palace 'gate', Xiangru had completely recovered to the palace maid mentality.

Xiangru thanked her mother-in-law and the coachman, got out of the car and signed in with the 'attendant' on the 'door' room, and entered the palace.

The little eunuch on the 'gate' room of the Tai Hospital saw Xiangru come back and greeted her happily, Xiangru responded with a smile, and gave a small gift by herself, and the little eunuchs smiled and thanked her repeatedly.

After passing through the big 'gate' Xiangru along the verandah directly back to the 'female' medical hall, when passing the 'door' room, she gave a small gift to the lilac silver 'flower', and they were too excited to scream a little louder, and as a result, the doctors on duty were alarmed, and when they came out and saw that it was Xiangru, a group of people happily surrounded and chattered.

I haven't seen you for a long time, and Xiangru also misses it a little, but now is not the time to greet and catch up, so after a few words, let everyone go back to do things, and wait for the lunch break to have a good chat.

The doctor on duty went back to work one after another, and Xiangru continued to walk inside, specially went to see Aunt Fang, and gave a few boxes of rouge gouache hand 'medicine' incense tablets that she had bought from the store before, and Aunt Fang happily accepted it, and praised Xiangru again.

Coming out of Aunt Fang's house, Xiangru stepped into the courtyard where she lived, and had just come to the middle of the courtyard, she couldn't suppress her mood anymore, and ran upstairs with her baggage while shouting loudly for her uncle.

Doctor Xiao Xia was reading a book in the house, and when she heard Xiangru's voice, she was stunned for a moment before she reacted, rushed out of the room, and just saw Xiangru running upstairs, so she quickly took it into her own room, and called the rough girl downstairs to fetch water to wash Xiangru's face***.

The doctors who lived in the other room heard the movement and ran out, and there was a match between the bamboo curtain outside the 'door' of the Xiaoxia doctor's room, and they waited for Xiangru to wash up and dress up before they poured into the house, Xiangru took out the gifts she bought on the street and distributed them to the doctors one by one, everyone got the gifts and had to say a few beautiful words, and then they dispersed with various complicated emotions, and the house finally returned to quiet.

"Come on, come on, drink a cup of herbal tea, they haven't drunk a few sips of water since they entered the house, they are really anxious, as if they will slow down for a while." Xiao Xia, a 'sexual' cold, complained while pouring tea for Xiangru.

"Uncle Shi, it's okay, I've been locked up in the palace for a long time, I can understand this mood." Xiangru didn't think there was anything, so she took the teacup and drank it in a big gulp, relieving the heat.

"How are you these days? Is that little master easy to serve? ”

"It's not bad, Young Master Rui just looks naughty, in essence, he is a sensible child, compared to him, Young Master Sun of Prime Minister Zhang's family can't help it, he came to the Hou Mansion a few times, in the name of reading with Young Master Rui, in fact, he didn't read a few pages and ate wildly, and after eating, it was not enough to add more snacks to the kitchen." Xiangru told the young master of that chapter as a gossip to Xiaoxia's doctor.

"There is such a young master who can eat?" Doctor Xiao Xia thought it was so fresh.

"Not only can I eat, but my body has become a ball, and it is not astringent. The more he ate, the more fierce he became, he didn't care about it at home, and said that he was not in good health and should eat more to take care of his body. ”

"That young master is actually in poor health because he eats too fat, right?" Doctor Xiao Xia is the truth.

"Who says it's not, anyone who sees his appetite will be dumbfounded, it's too scary, I've never seen a child who can eat so much."

"And then? What else is there to be fun about? ”

"Something else, the food in Houfu is 'very' good, the ingredients are abundant, they also have an ice cellar, on such a hot day, I specially made 'milk' oil ice bricks, and it is so comfortable to eat a mouthful of ice."

"You can also make ice bricks, huh?"

"Ponder slowly, the chefs of the Hou Mansion are all hired from outside, decades of old experience, I have been with them for these days, I have learned a lot of skills, even if I don't work as a food doctor in the palace in the future, I can still open a restaurant as a cook, there must be guests coming to the 'door', not afraid of starving yourself."

"Go, be a cook, with our master and uncle here, you can still starve. It's really~" Doctor Xiao Xia stretched out a finger and poked at the 'door' of Xiangru's brain.

"Uncle, I'm not talking about it, I've thought it through these days, I don't want to waste my cooking skills, I really want to open a 'medicine' restaurant, the menu of the restaurant is set according to the solar terms, and the menu is changed every time the solar term is over, a menu only takes half a month in a year, and diners who want to eat a good dish can't wait until the next year to have it." Thinking of the possible future life, Xiangru smiled and bent her eyes.

"You've thought of such details, you were perfunctory to me when you told me before, right?" Doctor Xiao Xia suddenly remembered the future plan that Xiangru had said.

"At that time, I didn't think of such a small place, at that time, I just didn't want to go home and be controlled by my family, I wanted to settle down in the capital, but I didn't know what to do, anyway, there was still a lot of time, so I thought about it slowly." Xiangru explained half-truthfully.

"I don't blame you, if you really plan like this, plan it more carefully, and everyone will help you when you return to Beijing in the future."

"Uncle Shi, what do you mean? What are you hiding from me? Xiangru remembered what the eldest princess said to herself, and the meaning faintly revealed in those words seemed to overlap with the meaning in the words of Xiao Xia's doctor now.

"You wait." Doctor Xiao Xia got up and went under the pillow to 'touch' out two letters and 'handed' them to Xiangru, "Take a look, one is from Sister Xie, one is from my sister, and I asked Imperial Doctor Shao to 'hand' over to Madder and bring it back, I've already seen it, you can take a look." ”

Xiangru 'pulled' out two letters from the envelope, and read Xie Yipo's first, which said that the eldest princess sent someone to ask her if she had told Xie Yipo about her future plans, because she was the eldest princess's person, Xie Yipo sold herself without much hesitation, so the eldest princess knew everything before she said that to herself in the morning.

A few years after she entered the palace, a large medical hall from other places opened opposite her family medical hall, and Shengsheng crowded her family's medical hall to close the 'door', and the family now relies on Father He to be a doctor in her father-in-law's 'medicine' shop to make a living, and the family is not as good as before.

"Oh my God, how can this be?!" Xiangru opened her mouth to stammer, of course, she was only surprised by the letter from Doctor Xie, and the current situation of "her family" was not the object of her concern.

"How? Have confidence in the future? The corners of Doctor Xiaoxia's mouth raised a gentle smile.

"Hmm!" Xiangru's heart 'waved' a little excited, it turned out that the hint of the eldest princess this morning meant this, the future that has always existed only in fantasy is finally no longer just a fantasy and can be implemented on paper into a real plan

Entering the 'Door'
