Chapter 12: A love triangle in the palace
The man in black disappeared immediately, Mu Jiaren bit her lips and frowned, the palace is really a good backer, but with his own identity, how can he have such good luck and a big backer?
When she returned to the ready-to-wear store, Qin Hui was really relieved when she saw Mu Jiaren: "Miss, where have you been, let the slave maid find it easy." ”
Mu Jiaren took a string of sugar gourds and handed it to her: "Of course I'm going to eat something delicious." ”
"The boss said he could come and pick up the clothes in three days."
"Well, then I'll pick it up in a few days."
After the two returned to the palace, they stayed alone in Qingfeng Garden, thinking about life with their cheeks back.
There are black-clothed masked men outside, and there are a bunch of scheming women in the palace, and this piece of fat is really not easy to eat.
The problem now is that even if he steals the medicinal materials and escapes the people of the palace, he is a masked man as soon as he goes out, and he still dies.
The key is that the book given by Baicaogu was for her to transfer to another person, but now there is more than half a year before the agreed time, and the hot potato will be carried in her arms for half a year.
Now the best way is to have the son of the world as a backer, but when I think of Han Yunqian's thiefy expression, I can't help but shudder, there will be no pie in the sky in this world.
There are two paths in front of her: either agree to Han Yunqian's conditions to seek the protection of His Royal Highness the Prince, or take the risk of trading with the man in the black mask.
Mu Jiaren decided to see the prince first.
In order to avoid the group of women competing for favor in the courtyard, Mu Jiaren has been staying in Qingfeng Garden for the past few days to make wine, and Han Yunqian's special care is still there before, and the people in the palace don't seem to care much about her.
Bringing the ingredients and lees from the kitchen, she prepared a variety of honey, fruits, and flowers, and the secret recipe was honey rather than a good wine.
When her mother was alive, she loved to drink the most, and when she was a child, her sleep stories were all about some fine wine and food.
She doesn't know why, her mother is an orphan but she can taste so much food and wine, sometimes she thinks that her mother is deceiving people, how can there be delicious food in the world that makes people nostalgic for a lifetime?
It wasn't until she learned how to make wine and bartending that she realized that her mother didn't lie to her.
Human memory is thin, but the taste is long-lasting.
There are many beautiful glass bottles in the palace, and Mu Jiaren puts honey wine into them, and the colorful bottles bloom with pink and white peach petals.
Three bottles of wine were brewed in one day, and they were placed on the desk on the sunny windowsill, next to which was a vegetarian orchid.
These concoctions can be drunk right away, but they are best left for three days to have a mellow taste.
When night fell, Mu Jiaren had just made the bed, when she heard a "pop", she turned around and saw a figure standing at the window, suddenly raising her head and smiling at her, a scar on her face looked extremely terrifying under the night.
"You...... You ......"
Mu Jiaren was frightened, and her mind quickly recalled where this scar man was.
The man picked up a glass bottle in one hand and walked into the room, and sat down straight: "Girl, is this what you brewed?" ”
Mu Jiaren nodded: "Who are you!" Why don't the guards outside stop you? ”
"Me? I came to the palace to steal wine and drink, and the guards outside couldn't see me. ”
The man looked to be in his forties, and there was an old scar on his cheek that ran from his forehead to the corner of his left eye and finally to his cheek.
The man was wearing a gray-blue cotton robe, tied with a brown belt around his waist, which looked very casual and simple.
"How can you not see it!" Mu Jiaren approached the door vigilantly, ready to call someone over at any time.
The man didn't care, poured himself a glass of wine, put it under his nose and sniffed: "Just brewed." ”
Then he drank it all: "Yes, this wine is not strong enough, and the wine made from honey can only be brought out by being strong to bring out the fruity and floral aromas." ”
Mu Jiaren immediately stepped forward, it turned out to be an expert.
"Who the hell are you, I'm going to call someone!"
"I didn't expect Qingfeng Yuan to live in a girl who can make wine, presumably the prince has never seen you."
Seeing his calm appearance, Mu Jiaren said, "You are from the palace."
The man pointed to the wine bottle and said, "I just drink here a lot, if you want to talk about the relationship with the palace, well......" After thinking for a while, he continued, "I can be regarded as an old man who gives the whole palace a headache, they always prevent me from stealing wine, but they can't prevent it." ”
Mu Jiaren became curious: "Then how did you avoid so many guards?" Especially Yun Zheng. ”
"The little girl is very knowledgeable, Yun Zheng is indeed very powerful, but he is not in the palace today, and the guards you said are all on the roof, I will go from the underground, of course no one knows."
"Underground?!" Mu Jiaren was very surprised, as if she had discovered a new world, "Uncle, if you cheat people, you won't have any alcohol to drink!" ”
"I'm old, I can lie to you a little girl, I can tell you how to go."
"Really?" Mu Jiaren raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"Ten bottles of wine."
"Deal!"
She has always done very smoothly in borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and she is very willing to do things in the palace.
"Girl, let's fall in love like this, what's your name?"
"Senior first."
"I'm an old man, the fifth in the family, you can call me Wang Lao Wu."
The corners of Mu Jiaren's mouth raised slightly, and she had a lot of this kind of name: "Junior Cuihua, I have seen Lao Wang's predecessors." ”
"Hey, Cuihua's name is not good, let's call Shufen."
"Shufen? Is this your old friend? ”
Mu Jiaren looked at Wang Lao Wu with disgust.
"No, this is my daughter-in-law's name, specially for you, to show that we are destined, don't forget the ten bottles of wine, Shufen."
"You steal the wine of the palace every day, and you have a family? Don't they know? The people in the palace didn't notice it at all? ”
"My friendship started from the prince's generation, what I know, the world may not know, if you don't believe me, I can tell you something."
Mu Jiaren turned her head to look at him, she really didn't believe it.
"The princess likes almond tofu, but there has to be something to add to this tofu."
"What's that?"
"Hanmei Xue, almond tofu made with this snow water, the princess loves it the most."
"Senior Wang, the prince knows that you know the princess so well, I guess I have the heart to kill you, should it be, you were ...... when you were young"
Mu Jia's brain made up a young and frivolous triangle drama.
"Hey, they've all been young, it's good if you understand, the people in this kind of dessert palace don't know, if you anger the princess one day, prepare one, I promise you'll be fine."
"Thank you seniors for your advice, in fact, after I left the palace, I planned to open a tavern, and you can drink as much as you like when the time comes, I didn't want to stay here for a lifetime."
"There is wine today and drunk today, Shufen, you can make wine with peace of mind, I will wait to drink it."
Wang Lao Wu took away all the three bottles of wine she made this year and prepared to leave.
Mu Jiaren looked at him and wanted to know how he had escaped so many guards, and at this moment, suddenly his eyes flickered, and the whole person felt dizzy, so he fell.
