Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dignitaries and Identities
The pear blossom courtyard dissolves the moon, and the catkins pond has a faint breeze.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonightβ"
"It's beautiful, I look a little hungryβ"
"I want to eat mooncakes made of Doudou!"
"The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet come. β
"Let's make a cake of the dead. It's my mother's birthday in a few days, and I want to go to Bailu Temple to worship. β
"Good. β
"There were a lot of things before, and I didn't have much Dragon Boat Festival at home. I'll let someone do some more youth league tomorrow, it's kind of making up for the previous one. What do you like to eat? I'll let them make it and bring it to you. β
"I can do it myself if I want to eat it, but what do you like? I'll make it for you tomorrow if I have nothing to do." β
"No, I can't. I don't know how to do it, but it's my intention to borrow flowers and offer Buddha. How can you still rub your food?" Tang Yue said righteously, but his eyes were a little fluttering, and the Qingtuan made by Doudou was ...... I want to eat!
"Puff~ Come on, just say whatever you want to eat!"
"Bean paste filling!" The fragrance of wormwood is slightly bitter and the sweetness of glutinous rice flour, and the soft fragrance of bean paste makes me drool when I think about it!
"When will our store open?" asked suddenly.
"Let's wait for June 16 to open, it's a good day to look for someone to see the overdue meeting. β
"Then I'll prepare some ingredients in advance, do you have a small plate?
"No, what's wrong?" Tang Yue didn't understand.
"I plan to make some pastries and side dishes and clear soup for people to try on the day I open the store, and the amount of one small plate per person is not easy to lose. Doudou said very seriously.
She thought about it carefully, Tang Yue's store is in a good location and has a lot of people, as long as the lobby is good, it is not easy to lose money, but she still doubts that someone will come on the second floor.
"Don't worry, how can I make a loss-making deal!" Tang Yue didn't know what she thought, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the moon-white pearl light under the bright moon hazy her facial features.
"I blurred your identity as the chef of the imperial dining room, but don't worry, I just said that I was invited from the palace, and I absolutely did not reveal your identity!"
Tang Yue pointed to the sky and made an oath to assure, which was very serious. In these years, I have never been too harsh on women. A man can linger in the flowers with three wives and four concubines, and a woman must marry three from four virtues and obey her husband. She really regards Mu Doudou as a sister, how can she not think about her reputation?
"But by the way, where did you learn Doudou's cooking skills?" Tang Yue was a little curious, according to the news, although Doudou's father's skills were good, he was not as good as Doudou.
"My grandmother taught me. Not only me, but my father's craft was also taught by her old man. Speaking of that father, Mu Doudou was a little depressed, and then explained herself, no matter what, it was enough for her grandmother to be good to her.
"My grandmother was a royal chef in the first place, and then she saw a lot of people who traveled from south to north, so she wrote down the dishes and passed them down from generation to generation, and passed them on to my grandmother for the third generation. My father is not very talented, and he naturally can't make good food without thinking about the dishes, so he can barely mix in the middle of the meal. β
"Doudou is amazing!"
"What do I have to be powerful, no matter how powerful it is, it's also a thing in the kitchen, but it's not as good as Ah Yue. β
"Me, what's good about me. Tang Yue smiled bitterly, "The family is in a mess, and I haven't been able to take revenge for the murder of my biological mother." β
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. β
"It's getting late, go to bed early. β
The two went back to their rooms and had a good night's sleep.
"Girl, Mu Fu handed over the sticker. Early in the morning, Yang Liu took a letter written on an apricot note and came over to find Tang Yue.
The hairpin flower is pleasing to the eye.
"Which Mu Mansion?" Tang Yue didn't remember for a while who the surname Mu was in Kyoto, so fortunately he asked directly.
The wind chime brought the medicine bowl and plums over, Tang Yue twisted his brows and drank it in one gulp, his face wrinkled, and he immediately stuffed a plum in his mouth. The sweet and sour taste dispels the bitterness in the mouth.
"I don't know. Yang Liu thought about it for a while, and there was no surname Mu on the Tang family's list.
The wind chime turned her head curiously to look at it, and raised her eyebrows, "I'm afraid I'm just here to find the girl to ask for someone!" The sound of the wind chime is like her name, as clear as the wind chime at the corner of the eaves, and the sound of the wind blows through it, and it comes to the ears and moistens the heart.
Tang Yue likes the sound of wind chimes very much, but unfortunately the wind chimes are always used to being cold, and they are silent, even with the wind and dew, the two of them are also silent, not cute at all!
"Who? is looking for a girl and someone!" but it is Banxia, who is holding bird's nest porridge, with his eyebrows jumping, his small chin raised, and he is a proud little rooster vividly.
"Banxia, what are you doing with bird's nest porridge?" Tang Yue had a bad premonition in his heart.
"This is what the master ordered, a bowl of bird's nest porridge every day, and you can't lose the girl's body because of filial piety. The girl's body is not suitable for taboos. β
Tang Yue drooped his eyelids, his long eyelashes covered his radiant eyes, and he looked low and complaining, "I have no taboos for a long time." Only the brothers are still vegetarian every day. "I'm sorry for my mother, but nowβ
Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Banxia slapped himself in the mouth in annoyance, and with the cold eyes of Shangfeng Chime and Yang Liu's complaining gaze, Banxia plucked up the courage to step forward a few steps and put the bird's nest porridge in front of Tang Yue, "Girl, filial piety is in the bottom of my heart." A lot of things have happened in the Tang Mansion these days, so why should the girl blame herself. It's how can Mrs. be alive and see that you don't cherish your body like this. β
"Madame is gone, you are the one who should cherish yourself the most. Otherwise, the backyard of the eldest young master and the second young master is undecided, and the Tang family suddenly loses its mother, what can the family do?"
"Don't talk about that. Is this Mu Mansion Doudou's father's house?"
Tang Yue was reluctant to mention the death of his mother. In any case, failing to keep the three-year filial piety period for his mother is unfilial. can only think about waiting for her mother's revenge to be avenged, and then she will eat and drink for her mother, copy scriptures and recite Buddhism.
"Isn't that the one?" Feng Chime pursed his lips and showed a trace of disdain, "I want to sell my daughter for glory but I am reluctant, if it weren't for the girl who helped Miss Canggeng, I am afraid that Miss Canggeng will have to make a living in the Ruiwang Mansion." I heard that the princess is not a good stubble! I don't know if I got any mention, I didn't send another girl to the Rui Wangfu but went to Hui Zhaorong to be a female official, but unfortunately there is no way, this daughter is not unexpected, and she can get out of the palace safely, thanks to the blessing of the gods and Buddhas. "Hui Zhaorong has a big prince under his knees, although he is a concubine, but he occupies a long character. It's good that I didn't ascend the throne before, but this ascension to the throne has exposed some people's ambitions. The child is innocent, but the mother is not innocent!
Listening to the wind chimes say this, Hui Zhaorong may have a chance to face the queen. Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, he knew how to deal with this matter.
"Let's arrange for someone to come to the flower hall. I'm going to meet this Mrs. Mu. β
"Go tell Cang Geng and see what to do. β
At the end of the day, a green cloth sedan car entered the side door of the Tang Mansion.
"Mrs. Mu came from afar, it was Tang Yue who was rude. "Tang Yue held the junior ceremony. Because Tang Yu was robbed of love by Jinshang, the door control at home is half-open and half-closed. Tang Yue also arranged for Tang Yue to ask some people to talk about things, but the one who came to see Tang Yue was this Mrs. Mu. I don't know how to shy away from it.
The little maids had refreshments on the corners of their skirts, and left after tea.
"It's my rudeness. "Mrs. Mu looks quite kind, can someone who might do something like a tanuki changing a prince expect her to be soft-hearted?
"Knowing that the county lord is guarding filial piety, it is not mine to disturb when the door is closed. It's just that the matter is serious, and I ask the county lord to forgive me. "Mrs. Mu was born in Jiangnan and has the temperament of a graceful woman in the south.
"My father was robbed of love by Jinshang and continued to go to the court to assist the emperor, and it naturally became empty talk to thank guests behind closed doors. But filial piety is in the hearts of the people. I don't know what Mrs. Mu is talking about here?" Tang Yue smiled and moved out of his father to threaten someone, and was very satisfied after seeing the other party's expression stiffen. Doudou was hidden next door by her, with wind chimes and willows behind her, she wanted to see what else this demon could do!
"County Lord-" Mrs. Mu's eyes fell on Yang Liu and Feng Chime. Naturally, he wanted Tang Yue to remove the two.
Even, there is only one grandmother about forty years old by her side.
Tang Yue raised her eyebrows: "Madame, if you have something to say, just say it." The implication is naturally that he doesn't plan to let the two go down. Originally, the two of them were her henchmen, and there was nothing unpleasant. opened his mouth and called the county lord, and put her on the throne. is also a rare and transparent person.
"I've come to discuss something with the county lord. Or make a deal. Mrs. Mu looked confident, her eyebrows and eyes were warm.
"It's about Cang Geng?" Tang Yue asked with raised eyebrows.
Doudou, who was eavesdropping next door, suddenly raised his heart to his throat.
"Cang Geng, that's a good name. Mrs. Mu smiled like an orchid petals, "The county lord should know that Canggeng has Mu Mansion, her biological father is still alive, and she will have to go back one day." β
"What does Madame want?" Now that everyone else is on the table, there is no need for her to pretend to be crazy and stupid.
"I want my daughter out of the palace. Mrs. Mu looked at Tang Yue calmly, "I don't know anyone, I fell in love with a selfish fool who sells women for glory, Li Dai Tao's stiff thing is just for self-protection, I don't want Cang Geng's child to be blessed with the help of the girl, the concubine is deeply sorry." β
Wind Chimes couldn't help but look sideways, this lady - rare bluntness!
Yang Liu couldn't help but admire.
Selling women for glory is indeed a fool!
"It doesn't matter if Cang Geng goes back or not. Tang Yue smiled indifferently, "The old lady at home is still there." What's more, if Cang Geng goes back, what will happen to his identity? Not embarrassed, Lord Mu is willing? The wife of the family is still alive, so he marries his wife, and leaves the old mother's own daughter in his hometown alone, if this is spread, he is afraid that he will be taken away from his official position immediately. β
"The old lady is old, and Yingsleeve is only one year younger. Mrs. Mu smiled and spoke, her kind and kind eyes were full of calculations, "If it is the county lord who asks King Ping to come forward, Mu Chengfeng will not disagree." β
"I don't dare to disagree. "Dingguo Marquis Mansion and Pingwang Mansion plus the queen in the palace.
Does Mu Chengfeng have that guts?
But she was right, the old lady is old, how long can she protect Doudou? Mu Chengfeng pressed down with a filial piety, Doudou had to agree to everything! It was better to bargain with this lady first.
"The county lord is smart. "Mrs. Mu's words are sincere, and what can make King Ping fall in love is not just a face. The affairs of the Tang family are not big or small, and everything that should be known in the capital is almost known, although this girl's reputation has not spread, no matter how she faintly feels that this girl is a powerful character. It must be known that men are not as transparent as women in the affairs of the back house. Her instincts have always been accurate, and she has helped her a lot, and this time it was also deliberate not to come to the door rashly.
"I heard that Mu Chengfeng had a brother who passed away in Chinese New Year's Eve five, and he could pass Cang Geng over to the past. β
Tang Yue was a little moved.
Mu Chengfeng is a scumbag, yes, it's good to have a chance to let Doudou get away from now on! At least in this way, Mu Chengfeng can't use filial piety to press Doudou, and he can't use Doudou's relationship to climb up. As long as the family tree is changed, Doudou is almost free.
"Unfortunately, I can't decide for her. Tang Yue was moved, but he also knew that only Doudou could decide this matter.
"The concubine came today just to show her sincerity. "Mrs. Mu is not stupid, although the husband and wife were cheated by blind marriage and dumb marriage, but they are also serious and beautiful from a good background" The county lord can tell Cang Geng, but the time is good for three days? "Hui Zhaorong is actually not stupid, but if he has a child who cares, he loses his mind, and he is afraid that he will become a pawn in the palace.
"County lord, the concubine has something to tell you. β
Mrs. Mu suddenly got up and saluted, took a few steps forward and stopped three steps away from Tang Yue, and said in a suppressed voice, "I don't want my son to enter the Rui Wang's Mansion, there is a reason for it." Princess Rui's real surname is Liu, her name is Chaoyun, and she is the concubine's former neighbor and handkerchief, but now this Princess Rui is not the sister of the Liu family. After returning from the age of sixteen to Zhuangzi to recuperate and was picked up by King Rui, the change in temperament can be called extreme, and I am even more ignorant of the past, I once saw her have a hibiscus tattoo of the Hiro Kingdom on her arm. The lord of the county should know that Ariscus of the kingdom of Hiroβ"
"I see. Tang Yue suppressed the shock in his heart and said lightly.
Mrs. Mu looked at Tang Yue's expression, and knew that she had moved the other party, so she didn't say anything more and left with someone.
Hiro Country, Hibiscus, Drunken Gardenia, Taishang Assassinated!
"Girlβ" Wind Chime spoke, her expression cold.
"Go tell Bai Li and let Fengxia Fenglu accompany me. β
She is not an ignorant child, she knows what is big and what is small. If Princess Rui is really a meticulous work of another country, the charge of colluding with the enemy country cannot be cleared up!
Her mother, his parents, if the great revenge can be avenged, how good!
"Take care of the girl. The wind chime pointed at Yang Liudao, and immediately raised his sword and left the Tang Mansion and returned to the Ping Palace.
The stakes are high, and she can't afford to delay.
Tang Yue took a deep breath, finally stabilized his breathing, wiped the sweat on his face, and immediately went to look for Mu Doudou.
"Doudou, do you want to go back?"
Doudou looked at Tang Yue with a complicated expression, and said very seriously, "Ah Yue, I agree to pass." β
To be able to cut ties with him, she couldn't ask for it.
Or rather, since her mother died, he didn't even have a letter, and she was dead to this father. Mu Yingsleeve is only one year younger than her, which means that when she was still an infant, his father abandoned his wife and son to enter the capital to seek officials. She is not stupid, and her grandmother is not stupid, otherwise her grandmother would not have taught her the craft, and she would have opened a small restaurant to support herself with the silver taels sent from the capital.
Her father, how ruthless!
"Then I'll escort the old lady into Beijing?"
"Good. β
When Tang Yue turned around and went out, Mu Doudou suddenly stopped her and said, "Ah Yue, thank you." β
She knew how difficult it was to get someone from the palace, especially a female official, to compile a record...... But to ask a girl to leave the palace at the age of twenty-five is too cruel to her.
