Chapter 1635 Distilled Spirits
Xia Ye'er sat in the small garden of Zhuxi Courtyard, these days she has let the garden be planted with all kinds of commonly used herbs, some of which have grown seedlings, looking at those green little plants, she feels very happy, the wine room, Wang Chong can do it without help, everything is developing according to plan, as long as she researches enough medicinal wine formulas, she will not be afraid to walk the rivers and lakes in the future.
But in the middle of the day, Xia Ye'er took a nap, and Qingdou came to tell me happily that the wine room had been cleaned up. Xia Ye'er went with her to see, only to see that the wing room with his back against Fengzhu Mountain was cleaned up, and more than sixty medium-sized wine jars were neatly placed inside, placed on the shelves that increased in a stepped manner, and walked over and opened a jar of wine casually, smelled it, it was a very light taste, this should still be an undistilled brewed wine, it is very good as a base wine, it can bring out the medicinal properties of herbs, and it will not affect the medicinal effect because the wine is too strong.
The small yard outside the wine room is also spotless, even the weeds on the ground have been pulled clean, only a dense Yangxia swaying is left, not far away is the wind bamboo mountain, the mountain is a piece of green bamboo, the breeze blows, the bamboo forest rustles. Xia Ye'er closed her eyes and gently fanned the smell of bamboo, if you add a faint aroma of wine in the future, it must be very charming.
"Red Bean, how did you do it? In just half a day, everything is done so perfectly, there are rewards and rewards! ”
Xia Ye'er ran over with a smile, Hongdou wanted to remind her to pay attention to her manners, but seeing that she had finally been kind to herself, she endured the words that were blocked. Xia Ye'er secretly smiled in her heart, she didn't expect that the first person to fight with her in ancient times was a little maid, this red bean is a good material, she will completely take her for her own use.
"Hongdou didn't dare to take credit, the slave maid went to ask the Wang housekeeper to ask someone for wine utensils, but the Wang housekeeper didn't give it, saying that all the uses of the palace were limited, and the Meiyu side concubine of the Huanhua Courtyard passed by, so she allocated her maid to the slave maid, and the wine set was also prepared by the side concubine." Hongdou's voice was aggrieved, in fact, she was bent on the good of Miss, but the prime minister had a life, and she couldn't help it if she asked her to monitor and assist Miss.
"Concubine Meiyu?" With this name in the palm of her hand, she recalled the shadow she saw when she "fainted" last time, Xia Ye'er smiled slightly, what does this side concubine mean? If you want to say that she can be regarded as her biggest threat in this mansion, what is it now? Is it to show his rights in the house and demonstrate to her, or is it intended to help her and show favor to her? Intuition told her that the ice peach is not a climate, this Mei Yu is the ultimate boss among these women in the backyard, interesting, she will find a time to try this Mei Yu side concubine, now, it is more important to still her wine room.
"Wang Chong! Get him for me. "This housekeeper doesn't seem to like her very much, the prince's cold face makes her feel frightened, but for this Wang housekeeper, she always has the urge to tease, but she can't always find an excuse, now it's probably okay!
Steward Wang was resolute, the speed was indeed fast, Xia Ye'er had just finished smelling the wine in the second row, and saw the young housekeeper of Yushu Linfeng walking steadily through the carved corridor, and respectfully and coldly greeted her: "Concubine Niangniang is healthy, I don't know what Concubine Xia is looking for me?" ”
Xia Ye'er finally smelled the jar of wine, frowned, it was really similar to the taste of the previous jar, there was no difference between the light liquor, it seemed that there was a way to make distilled liquor, so that it would taste good.
"Steward Wang, did the concubine offend you? Why do you always struggle with me? Walking slowly to the door, Xia Ye'er raised her head, pretending to be innocent and ignorant and looking at the majestic man standing at the door, her bright eyes looking at him stubbornly. Wang Chong didn't expect her to be like this, he lowered his head slightly, but he didn't look humble or arrogant. Xia Ye'er's eyes were shining, and she had too much to say to ask him, why was he so young as a housekeeper, and why did a housekeeper never call himself a "slave"? Why is a housekeeper so handsome?
"I don't know what the side concubine is talking about, the prince told me before leaving the house to take good care of the side concubine Niangniang, and to take care of the internal affairs of the palace, I just did my duty as a housekeeper and tried my best to live up to the prince's trust."
It turned out that the prince was not in the mansion, and what she was doing as a side concubine was really incompetent, so Mei Yu didn't do this to show the prince, so, was it to show her goodwill? Xia Ye'er has always accepted the olive branch when she sees it, and she made up her mind that no matter what kind of mentality Mei Yu has, she would rather fight with Mei Yu than Bing Tao, a snarky woman who pretends to be smart.
"The prince wants the king's housekeeper to take good care of the concubine's body, so what's wrong with the concubine's body asking some people to clean up the wine room? Or is the concubine just the prince's side concubine, and she can't afford to use it, so she can't call the people of the palace? In fact, she is really not used to using the word "concubine", but she doesn't dare to say "Bengong", just a small side concubine, besides, in the face of this man, she inexplicably feels shorter, even if her identity sounds taller than him, she doesn't dare to mess around, this recognition makes her a little depressed.
"The side concubine is angry, it's not that the people in the palace can't move, it's just that the fourth princess is getting married now, and everyone in the palace is busy preparing gifts and arranging matters, and there is a shortage of manpower, and"
His words suddenly stopped, and a pair of cold eyes swept over her face, making her suddenly feel an infinite chill.
"The matter of the side concubine Niangniang's wine room has not been agreed by the prince, there is no precedent for this in the mansion, or, is it like this when Niangniang is in the prime minister's mansion?"
These words are general accusations for others, but for Xia Ye'er, it is really unusual, involving the Prime Minister's Mansion, she knows nothing, and this Wang Chong is so shrewd, she will be exposed if she is not careful, the palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion, it seems that there is always a subtle feeling, the two seem to contain each other, and jointly maintain the peace on the surface, if you guess correctly, this Xia Ye'er is a fine work sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, surviving in the cracks, a wrong step may affect this balance, plus she is just an adopted daughter, it is not a pity to die, Therefore, she should be extra careful and try to distance herself from the relationship between the two.
"The fourth princess and the prince are compatriots, and the palace should do its best, but I was rude." Xia Ye'er smiled, and said in a humble tone, but there was no smile in her eyes. Hmph, the fourth princess got married, shouldn't this be a matter in the palace? What else does the palace have to deal with other gifts? What's more, she is also a side concubine, and she has come to the palace since she entered the palace, except for the two big maids she brought,
