Chapter 216: The Queen Mother's Plum Blossoms
"My lord, if your whole family is locked up in prison, are you in the mood to make bean skin for the party envoys?" Shen Yiyi asked rhetorically.
Not in the mood. Honglu Temple Qing and Honglu Temple Cheng coincidentally said in their hearts.
The reason for her evasion was reasonable, Honglu Siqing was not good to say any more, muttered for a moment, and said, "In this case, I will send someone to send Mrs. Cai back first." ”
He had already decided to ask about the Shen family, but Honglu Temple belonged to the Ministry of Rites, and the prison belonged to the Criminal Department, so it was inconvenient for him to tell Shen Yiyi in advance, so he could only go to the Criminal Department to try his luck first.
Shen Yiyi nodded and stood up: "I can't help, I'm sorry, if the chef of Honglu Temple wants to learn tofu skin, you can come to me at any time." ”
"Okay, I'll thank you Madame first." Honglu Siqing bowed slightly, and ordered someone to send her out.
Shen Yiyi walked out of Honglu Temple and boarded the carriage, but saw Cai Li lying in the carriage, holding a pear in his hand, gnawing happily.
"Why are you here?" Shen Yiyi was stunned for a moment and sat next to him.
"My mother said that as long as I give birth to a son, I can not only stay in the General's Mansion, but also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." Cai Li said, glancing at her obliquely, "When did she plan this idea?" How did I not know? ”
"You don't know, and I don't know." Shen Yiyi decisively pretended to be stupid.
"I really don't know?" Cai Li suddenly sat up straight and approached her, "On the day we ate fat sausages, my mother came to you and muttered with you at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, isn't that what you said?" ”
Ask her?? What a domineering president! Shen Yiyi leaned forward and leaned close to his face: "Guess! ”
The tip of her nose almost touched Cai Li's mouth, and Cai Li quickly collapsed and fled: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, why do you do it." ”
"Did I do it? Did I move my feet? Shen Yiyi gave him a blank look, "Give me one pear!" ”
"Don't give it, just this one!" Cai Li shrank in the corner, angry.
Buy only one pear? Shen Yiyi didn't believe it, pounced on him and held him, and flipped over on him.
Cai Li couldn't resist it, and hurriedly fed the pears to her mouth: "Don't turn it over, I'll give you a bite." ”
Shen Yiyi picked a place he hadn't bitten before, took a big bite, and let him go.
There were two rows of thin tooth marks left on the pear, and Cai Li stared at it for a while, brought it to his mouth, and bit it down.
"Hey, Ali, why did you give birth to a son and go to war? If the General's Mansion is so easy to speak, why did you get whipped in the first place, and lead the family law? Shen Yi leaned on the wall of the car and asked him.
That's right, when did the General's Mansion become so good at talking? There must be a reason for this. Cai Li nibbled on the pear and frowned slightly.
Shen Yiyi kicked him: "Why don't you go back to the General's Mansion and ask?" ”..
"My mother is in the General's Mansion, do you dare to go back?" Cai Li raised an eyebrow at her.
"Don't dare." Shen Yiyi shook her head decisively. In front of Hua's son, Tonic Dafa, she would rather admit it.
The two rode in a carriage and walked around the street again and again, not daring to go back, until Fuliu came to find it, saying that Miss Wang Jiu Wang Simin came to visit and was waiting at home, so they ordered the coachman to turn the horse's head and go to the small courtyard in the west of the city.
Wang Simin was really sitting in the hall, and Shen Yiyi hurriedly stepped forward, greeted her, and apologized to her: "I didn't know you were coming, I kept you waiting for a long time." ”
"I'm fine anyway, so what's the matter." Wang Simin was unimpressed.
"How did you know I lived here?" Shen Yiyi asked.
"My cousin told me." Wang Simin said and asked her, "The people from Honglu Temple have come to look for you, right?" ”
"I've been here." Shen Yiyi said, "They hope that I can make tofu for the party envoys by hand, but I have something to do recently, and I am not in the mood to do this, which disappoints them." Simin, I'm so sorry. ”
"What are you sorry for me?" Wang Simin didn't take it seriously, "It's not my business to entertain the party envoys, you helped me make tofu that day, even if you helped me a lot." I'm here today to thank you. ”
As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and a slave walked in with a large and small gift box in her hand.
The thank you gift was too heavy, and Shen Yiyi hurriedly said: "Simin, this can't be helped." ”
"This is all prepared by my father and my mother, don't be polite to me." Wang Simin said, and took out a small purse from his arms, "My thank you gift is here." ”
"What is it? Do you make your own purse? Shen Yiyi guessed what it was, and was a little timid for a while, and deliberately talked some gossip to hide her mood.
"The purse is indeed made by myself, but the thank you gift is the plum blossom in it." Wang Simin laughed.
Little Pepper took the purse and handed it to Shen Yiyi.
Shen Yiyi opened the purse and saw that there were indeed a few preserved plum blossoms inside, which looked ordinary and no different from the ones sold in the shops outside.
"It's ...... The preserved plum blossoms that the Queen Mother ate? Shen Yiyi asked.
"Yes, don't you want the preserved plum blossoms that the Queen Mother ate?" Wang Simin said, a little embarrassed, "I don't have the ability, I only got these few, you can taste them first, if you like it, I'll find a way to get you more." ”
"Don't don't, don't worry, I'm just curious, greedy, just taste it." Shen Yiyi hurriedly said, "This thing can't be eaten as food, so what do you have to do." ”
"That's right." Wang Simin laughed, "Yiyi, my cousin and Cai Gongzi are small, so let's move around more in the future." ”
"Okay, I'll play with you when I get back." Shen Yiyi put away her purse and asked Xiao Pepper to bring a box of snacks up, "These are all snacks I made myself, you can taste them, if it suits your appetite, bring two boxes back later." ”
The box is not big, but there are more than a dozen kinds of dim sum in it, and Wang Simin has never seen each of them. She is the daughter of Guanglu Siqing, and there are so many snacks in this world that she has never seen!
This realization shocked her so much that she didn't say anything for a long time, and then looked at Shen Yiyi's gaze, and she had a little more admiration: "Yiyi, if anyone dares to show off their knowledge in front of me again, I must invite you to go and slap him in the face!" ”
A box of snacks is just elevated to the level of "knowledge"? Shen Yiyi laughed dumbly.
Since she crossed over to the Great Liang Dynasty, the turmoil has not stopped, how could she ever be like this, sitting face-to-face with a girl of the same age, chatting, eating snacks?
If the Shen family is not in prison, if the purse containing the preserved plum blossoms is not in the palm of her hand, this is really her ideal life.
The two didn't know each other very well, Wang Simin didn't sit for a while, and then left with two large boxes of snacks.
As soon as she left, Cai Li entered the hall and complained that he hadn't eaten these snacks, so he had to carry a box to the room.
Shen Yiyi was in a hurry to study the preserved plum blossoms, grabbed a handful of jujube and walnuts and perfunctory him, and went to the kitchen with his purse.
