Chapter Seventy-Two: Plum Blossom Cake
After speaking, she turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ruan Ze behind her, "Miss Ji......"
Ji Yunyun turned his head to look at him and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else with Gongzi Ruan?" ”
A cold wind blew slightly, the lanterns hanging on the verandah swayed in the wind, Ji Yunyun's body was ringing, she used to only apply fat powder thinly, and her clothes were always elegant and light, but today she specially depicted exquisite makeup, wearing a garnet red dress, which made the whole person more and more delicate and beautiful.
Ruan Ze was stunned, and suddenly thought in his heart, no wonder his mother would like her, such a good-looking girl, where would anyone not like it?
Seeing that he only looked at himself and didn't speak, Ji Yunyun patiently asked again, "What else is wrong with Gongzi Ruan?" ”
"My mother likes Miss Ji, and she can listen to Miss Ji's words if she wants to, can Miss Ji help me and Xiuxiu talk good things in front of my mother when she is free?" Ruan Ze came back to his senses, and blurted out an excuse in a panic.
Ji Yunyun frowned slightly, her deal with him was over, and judging from her current relationship with Chongenbo Mansion, it was not suitable for her to contact them anymore, and she didn't understand why Ruan Ze would make such a request.
After Ruan Ze finished speaking, he realized that he was a strong man, and he was embarrassed and was about to take back Fang Cai's words, when a figure turned out of the weeping flower gate and walked towards them.
Ji Yunyun also saw the person coming, she was afraid of causing gossip and was about to hide, but she found that the person who came was Qi Cheng, and stood in place with a sigh of relief and waited for him to approach.
"Shizi." Ruan Ze bowed to him.
Qi Cheng glanced at him, then turned his head to stare at Ji Yunyun, paused and asked faintly, "When will the banquet start?" ”
…… It's not even noon, and he's hungry? Ji Yunyun looked at him speechlessly and said, "The banquet will take a while, and I will ask people to send snacks to the prince to fill his stomach first." ”
After speaking, she turned her head to look at Ruan Ze, and Ruan Ze hurriedly said: "Miss Ji, go get busy, don't care about what I just said, Miss Ji has helped me so much, I am already grateful, I will go back to the front yard first." ”
"Shizi also go back, I'll have someone send it over immediately." Seeing that Ruan Ze was gone, Ji Yunyun said to Qi Cheng.
Qi Cheng didn't move, but asked, "What did he just say to you?" Looking for your help again? ”
"No, just a little bit of a story." Ji Yunyun didn't want to have anything to do with Chongenbo Mansion anymore, and he didn't care about what Ruan Ze just said, so he didn't say much, just said.
There happened to be a little maid coming here with a plate of plum blossom cakes, Ji Yunyun beckoned to her and asked, "This plum blossom cake was sent to the front yard?" ”
The little maid blessed her and replied, "Yes, second girl, the kitchen has just been steamed, let me send it to the front yard." ”
The freshly steamed plum blossom cake was still steaming, and the slightest aroma drilled into the nose, Ji Yunyun said: "Give it to me, you can go to the kitchen and bring a plate over." ”
A plate of snacks was not a big deal, and the little maid handed her the plum blossom cake in her hand, and turned back to the kitchen.
"Aren't you hungry? Fill your stomach. Ji Yunyun stretched out the plate in front of him.
He wasn't actually hungry, just an excuse, but the plate was stretched out in front of him, so he had to reach out and take a piece of plum blossom cake, put it in his mouth and took a bite, the sweet taste made him frown.
"Doesn't it taste good?" Seeing him frowning, Ji Yunyun also picked up a piece of plum blossom cake suspiciously, for his grandmother's birthday, the house specially invited a famous dim sum master, it couldn't be delicious.
She took a bite of the hot plum blossom cake, the soft taste, the sweet aftertaste was endless, and she was puzzled: "It's delicious." ”
The dim sum is excellent, but he doesn't like sweets, so after eating three or two bites, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands and said, "It's not to my liking." ”
This person is quite picky. Ji Yunyun couldn't help but glared at him, and was about to put the plate in his hand on the railing on the side, when he saw a few flowery girls walking over from the end of the verandah, and the first one looked very much like Sun Yingying, and she hurriedly said, "I'm leaving." ”
After speaking, he threw the plum blossom cake that he had only bitten into his hand into the plate, and then stuffed the whole plate into Qi Cheng's arms, and ran away from the other end of the verandah in a panic.
Qi Cheng took the plate, watched her quickly disappear at the other end of the verandah, and looked down at the plate in front of her, the plum blossom cake she only took a bite of was still steaming, and the snow-white cake was stained with a layer of red lip grease, and the smell of the pastry seemed to be a little sweeter than just now. He couldn't help but pick up the plum blossom cake that had been bitten and put it in his mouth, it was indeed sweet and delicious, and it made people have an endless aftertaste.
Before the luncheon, each room in the house gave a birthday gift to the old lady, and each room in the house was preparing a few months ago, Ji Yunshu sent the calligraphy and painting of Yuan Lao in the previous dynasty, and Ji Yunyun's congratulatory gift was to embroider a pair of embroidery according to the handwriting of the scriptures written by her father to pray for the old lady's blessing in the early years, and the second uncle moved the jade Buddha who had spent a lot of money out of the warehouse, Ji Yunyun and Ji Yunting looked at each other a little nervously, observed the old lady's reaction, and found that the old lady was very happy, and her heart finally fell back into her stomach completely safely.
After the banquet, Ji Yunyun was about to go back to the Splendid Courtyard to take a rest with Yan Shuangshuang, and Zhou asked her to go to the warm pavilion.
Ji Yunyun asked Chun Tao to send Yan Shuangshuang back to the Splendid Courtyard, and when she arrived at the Warm Pavilion, she saw Princess An and Qi Yan were also there.
"Wan'er, come here." Seeing her coming, Zhou beckoned to her and said with a smile: "Princess An is a little sleepy, and there is a bit of noise in my courtyard, you take Princess and Miss Qi to your place to rest." ”
Ji Yunyun answered, and led Princess An and Qi Yan out.
"The princess is not in good health, just have the prince and Miss Qi coming, why should the princess come in person?" Ji Yunyun said.
Princess An smiled and said softly: "This is thanks to you, Miss Ji, in the past, in winters like this, I stayed outside for a while, and when the cold wind blew, I would get sick when I went back, but now it's okay, since you gave me the warm jade, my body is much better than before, and the number of illnesses has decreased." Miss Ji has done me such a big favor, how can I not come to the old lady's birthday? ”
Ji Yunyun curled her lips happily when she heard this, the warm jade she wanted was for Princess An. In the previous life, Princess An was very good to her, but because of her body, she couldn't go out in winter, and later it even became more and more serious, bedridden, and she didn't get better at drinking medicine all day. The imperial doctor in the palace looked at it all and it was useless, and finally found a divine doctor, but because of the delay for too long, the divine doctor could not do anything.
After she got married in the previous life, on the second day of the wedding, Mrs. Bofu gave her Nuan Yu as a meeting gift, and later learned from the doctor that this Nuan Yu is just a warm-up object in winter for ordinary people, and for Princess An, it can help her regulate her body and delay her condition, but at that time, Princess An was already terminally ill and had no cure, and Nuan Yu came too late.
Now that Nuan Yu really has a miraculous effect on Princess An, I want to wait for the miracle doctor to be found, and Princess An's illness should be completely cured.
took Princess An and Qi Yan to the Splendid Courtyard, and asked people to clean up the west wing room for the princess to rest, Qi Yan was not very sleepy, so he went to Ji Yunyun's room, and sat on the soft couch outside with Yan Shuangshuang and drank tea with melon seeds and talked.
The room was warm, burning incense, and the three of them talked for a while, Yan Shuangshuang and Qi Yan were a little drowsy, and let the maid help them to their own bed to rest, Ji Yunyun crooked on the couch for a while, and also fell asleep. Chun Tao took the bed quilt from the inner cabinet and covered her, so that the other maids in the room quietly retreated.
When Yan Shuangshuang woke up, Qi Yan was still asleep, she quietly got out of bed and went outside, and saw Ji Yunyun also sleeping soundly on the couch.
"Cousin, are you awake?" Chun Tao and Chun Zhi sat on the embroidery bench doing embroidery work, and when they saw Yan Shuangshuang coming out, they hurriedly got up and served her.
"Well, don't wake up my cousin, I'll go for a walk outside." Yan Shuangshuang got dressed, took care of the vanity mirror again, and said softly.
Haruka sent her out, "I'll show my cousin the way." ”
The peach trees planted in the splendid courtyard are all peach trees, a spring, scorching and prosperous, it is very good-looking, but now it is winter, there is really nothing to see, the spring branch followed the severe frost and frost in the yard walked twice, thought about it and said: "The plum trees in the garden are blooming, I will take the cousin girl to take a look?" ”
Yan Shuangshuang just wanted to pass the time, and nodded when she heard the words.
Chunzhi led Yan Shuangshuang to the garden outside, and many noble ladies and ladies who came today couldn't stand the cold, either in the warm pavilion or in the courtyard of the Zhou family and the Ye family, and the gardens were full of maids.
The front turned the corner is Merlin, and before he got close, he smelled the cold fragrance of plum blossoms, and Yan Shuangshuang just turned the corner, and a person hurriedly came over on the opposite side, and he didn't watch out, and the two bumped together.
The person who came was a man, much taller than Yan Shuangshuang, Yan Shuangshuang just hit his hard chest, his body shook, and he was about to fall backwards, but fortunately, the person who came reacted quickly and grabbed her.
"Young Master." Seeing the person coming clearly, Chun Zhifu saluted, and then hurriedly stepped forward to support Yan Shuangshuang, "Cousin, are you okay?" ”
Ji Yunyuan had seen Yan Shuangshuang once in the mansion before, and when he heard Chunzhi call her cousin, he quickly recognized her, and said apologetically on his face: "Miss Yan, I'm really embarrassed, I was walking in a hurry just now, and I didn't notice anyone on the other side." Are you okay? ”
"It's fine." Yan Shuangshuang shook her head as she clutched her sore nose.
"Are you really okay?" Seeing that she had been covering her nose, Ji Yunyuan was not very relieved, and leaned down slightly to look at her.
As soon as Yan Shuangshuang raised her head, she crashed into a pair of gentle and deep eyes, and her heart suddenly fluttered rapidly, and her face burned.
"It's really fine." Yan Shuangshuang hurriedly lowered her head, pretended to be casual and rubbed her nose, and let go to the side, "Ji Gongzi has something to do, so let's go quickly." ”
Ji Yunyuan only had time to see the girl's beautiful moon eyebrows and curled and slender eyelashes.
Ji Yunyuan paused, "Then I'll go first, Chunzhi will take care of the cousin." After saying that, he hurried away.
Yan Shuangshuang went around in the plum forest and went back to the Splendid Courtyard, just as Ji Yunyun woke up, she was sitting in front of the dressing mirror to comb her hair, and when she saw Yan Shuangshuang coming back, she asked, "Where did my cousin go?" ”
"Go to Merlin in the garden and take a turn." Yan Shuangshuang said, a little absent-minded.
Ji Yunyun didn't have time to see that something was wrong with Yan Shuangshuang, and Qi Yan in the middle happened to wake up, and she hurriedly instructed the maid to go out and bring hot water to wash Qi Yan.
