Chapter 165: Tears
These days, Su Jinzhao went to the small kitchen as usual, and cooked food for Concubine Jing in different ways, not knowing the inside story, thinking that Concubine Jing was still in the dark.
Sometimes on a whim, I also made some snacks to share with Zixiang and them, and after entering the palace for many years, no master has personally cooked for them, and they are all happy, and they are all grateful to Jinzhao in my heart.
"What good deeds did the slave maid do in her last life, and she was able to eat the snacks made by the eldest lady herself." Zixiang said happily.
Ding Lan looked at the snack in his hand, swallowed his saliva, and took the words: "The eldest lady is really ingenious, look at this snack, the workmanship is exquisite, the carved patterns on it are really beautiful, the eldest lady is really ingenious, and the slaves and maids are reluctant to eat it."
As he spoke, his eyes kept staring at the snack in his hand.
Su Jinzhao listened to it on the side, shook his head with a smile, and said, "While the dim sum is still hot, eat it quickly, it will be cold later, and the taste will not be so good."
Zixiang listened and responded, but Ding Lan was a little hesitant, always feeling that it was a pity to eat such a delicious snack like this.
She is a child of a poor family, and when she was a child, her family had a hard life, and it was already good to be able to fill her stomach, but as for snacks, it was an extremely luxurious thing for a poor family like them, and she probably had to think about it. Once, Daddy took the chopped firewood to the market to sell, that day was her birthday, when she came back, Daddy brought her a string of sugar gourds, she used to just look at the children in the neighboring village to eat, I didn't expect that I could actually eat, she was very happy at the moment, immediately took a bite, sweet and sour, delicious, that taste, she will never forget in her life.
However, she only ate one bite, and she carefully wrapped the rest and put it away, she had to keep it and eat it slowly. Who knew that when she went to take it out again the next day, the sugar gourds had melted, and she was distressed and burst into tears......
When Jin Zhao saw it, he spoke up again and motioned to Ding Lan: "Eat it quickly, and I'll make it for you later."
"Really?" Ding Lan was a little incredulous after hearing this, and asked in a low voice.
She is a little palace maid, her identity is so humble, how can she let a dignified eldest lady cook food for her.
As soon as the words fell, Qiaoci beside her gave her the snacks in her hand and said to her: "Our eldest lady never lies, if you don't have enough to eat, mine will also give you food."
Ding Lan looked at the dim sum in her other hand, inexplicably moved, remembered what Concubine Jing said to her a few days ago, and opened her mouth, as if she had something to say. After hesitating for a while, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and finally said slowly, "Thank you." ”
Seeing the time of lunch, Ding Lan and Zixiang wiped their mouths, looking at the empty disk that had just held the snacks, they were a little embarrassed.
Ding Lan looked at the purple fragrance beside her, opened her mouth first, and said in a low voice: "The dim sum made by the eldest lady is so delicious, the slave maid couldn't hold back for a while, and finished eating." As she spoke, the little girl lowered her head shyly.
Jin Zhao smiled and said: "Dim sum is made for you to eat, you like to eat it, I am naturally happy, it doesn't matter if you eat it."
Hearing Jin Zhao say this, the two of them carefully put the lunch prepared by Su Jinzhao into the food box, so that they could send it to Concubine Jing.
"Miss, the slaves and maids are retiring." The two said in unison.
Jin Zhao waved his hand: "Go ahead."
After the two palace maids left, Qiao Ci said: "Miss, let's go back quickly, it's not good for people to see it later."
Jin Zhao let out a soft "um".
She doesn't want too many people to know about her coming to the palace for the time being, but the palace is a place where there are many people, even if she wants to keep a low profile, I'm afraid that the news of her coming to the palace will not reach the ears of those who care.
Wuxi Palace.
Concubine Jing looked at the extra snack on the dinner table, the workmanship was extremely exquisite, and a touch of surprise immediately flashed in her eyes.
"She also made this snack?"
The "she" in Concubine Jing's mouth naturally refers to Su Jinzhao.
In the past few days, the diet is basically not the same, and Concubine Jing has become more and more curious about Su Jinzhao in addition to her appetite getting better and her body gradually turning.
Ding Lan replied respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, this snack is what Miss Su called rose cake, made of rose petals from the imperial garden, and the slave maid and purple fragrance also helped pick it."
Although they were unable to do it, they did a favor and participated in it.
When Concubine Jing heard this, her lips raised slightly, and a faint smile floated: "No wonder I didn't see the two of you this morning, it turned out that I went to the Imperial Garden." As he spoke, he nodded to himself, "It's April now, it's the season of roses, she can actually think of making pastries with flower petals, and make them so exquisitely, so it seems that she is a clever woman." ”
Unconsciously, Su Jinzhao has been in the palace for a few days.
Zixiang's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something, and leaned over to remind: "The slave maid remembered that on the birthday of the concubine, Mrs. Su brought the ladies to the palace, and the lady was also present at the time, so she should have seen it."
Concubine Jing listened, slightly excited, and searched hard in her mind, probably for too long, so that she had no impression. Instantly, his eyes drooped slightly, and he said with a little regret: "Really? It's been so long that I can't remember. ”
At that time, Su Jinzhao's appearance was not outstanding now, among the crowd, so many young ladies from the family, one by one, they all dressed up carefully, and looked at the past from a distance, they were all dazzled, not to mention that Yan Xue, who is known as a talented woman, is the focus of everyone's attention, in the palace, the most important thing is good-looking skin, that Su Jinzhao has no outstanding talent in addition, how can he attract the attention of Concubine Jing, who does not like to be lively, and it didn't take long to sit down, she got off the table in advance on the grounds that she was unwell. At that time, Concubine Ru was extremely unhappy, but then when she thought about it, she left and left, out of sight and out of mind, whether she was gone, thinking about it, the anger in her heart slowly disappeared.
If you don't have an impression, it doesn't matter, you'll see the one above. Zixiang thought so, pointed to the plate of dim sum that looked tempting and delicious, and said: "I'm afraid I don't know yet, Miss Su's dim sum is delicious, and she also gave some to the slaves and maids, Ding Lan was so moved that she almost cried when she ate the dim sum, and the slaves and maids saw it on the side, and it is estimated that Miss Su also saw it."
Ding Lan immediately glared at Zixiang, trying to stop her from talking: "Zixiang, you still say, keep talking, Niangniang should laugh at me."
When Zixiang heard this, she grimaced at her, stuck out her tongue, and retorted, "Niangniang doesn't know how to laugh."
