Chapter 173: Still Untitled
Su Li also had a small episode when she took Yin to pick up the ornament, with Su Li's understanding of Fujin, she chose a gemstone head for the Wulanala clan, Fujin has many formal occasions, no matter how many heads are not enough, she used to have headaches, so Su Li and Shu Xinzi often changed the decoration for her, trying not to make people see it. But even so, it is necessary to buy new jewelry from time to time to cooperate, so Su Li will not forget to help Fu Jin take a look wherever he goes. But as soon as Yin entered the door, he picked a gold collar, Su Li was really speechless, the collar was very exquisite, but at first glance it was an old model, I think it was used by Concubine De back then.
"Master, it's too cheap to pick, the master wants to talk about Li'er's small device." Su Li couldn't say that Yin's taste was too bad, so she had to tactfully show Yin's face, but Yin didn't want to think about it, closed the lid and took it in her hand, Su Li was helpless, "Tell you, Niangniang and sister are to blame, Li'er doesn't care." ”
Yin didn't speak, just smiled and pinched Su Li's cheek.
Sure enough, Su Li handed the box to Concubine De for a look, and asked Mama Ling to bring the account book, Mama Ling wrote off the gold collar, and Su Li signed her name. Turning her head, Mama Ling took out a catalogue of contacts again, Su Li wrote a few months and days, and Concubine De rewarded the gold collar of the Wulanala clan...... After writing, sign the name, and then hand the catalog to Concubine De to see, Concubine De signed helplessly, and Mama Ling took out a seal clay and pressed her fingerprint.
"Look at this rambling! Can I feel at ease with her doing things? Rewarding something has to be so three-headed and six-sided! Concubine De complained to Yin.
"What did Li'er think?"
"Well, on your lord's birthday the previous time, I asked her to find a few pieces of silk to send over, but she actually made such a set, and she died of trouble."
"What's the trouble? Mama Ling, do you also find it troublesome? ”
"Although there is some trouble, it saves trouble for the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are also old, and there are often places that are out of sight. Didn't Master Su's method help the slave? The master wanted to find something, and as soon as the slave and maid flipped through the booklet, they knew what was there and what was not. Whoever is rewarded, who passes the hand. The master should feel sorry for the slave and maid! ”
"Okay, I know you're afraid, and I didn't let you pay for losing something, really." Concubine De waved her hand and looked at the collar. After a long time, he frowned, "How to pick this, old thing, I'm afraid that the Ulanara clan will laugh at my small device." ”
"Li'er originally wanted to pick expensive, but our lord has to save it for you." Su Li smiled, deliberately pleased.
"You!" Concubine De also waved her hand. She cherished the ornament and put it on a separate list. Curry's head is something she's ever brought. No longer like the ground; Then the people will be sent to the land. She didn't like it very much. It is specially used to appreciate people's land. Su Li is knowing. So no matter how expensive it is, it's limited. She was more concerned about whether Su Li would go home with Yin. "Do you want to go back today?"
"Nope. Stay with you for a few more days. Su Li held Concubine De. Said softly. She knew that Concubine De was reluctant to give up on herself. But this time it was not for Concubine De to stay. Yin's sentence for ten years made Su Li think a lot. And the most important of these are: I have been in the Qing Dynasty for almost ten years. I haven't sorted it out yet. Why are you here? Is Su Li'er dead in Daqingdi? Besides, Qi Ge'er's death day is coming. Forget it. If it is mentioned. Just go back and she passed the level of not being able to do it herself. So I thought it would be better to stay in the palace for a few more days. I'll talk about it later. So I told Yin. Temporarily stay with Concubine De for a few days. She will go back on her own in a few days.
Yin listened at the time. Raise your eyebrows. Naturally, he didn't think about Qi Ge'er's affairs. This man never seemed to be in his head. I thought Su Li wanted to let herself in a few more times. Go back with a nice view. I didn't expect Su Li to say that she would go back. On the contrary, I can't figure it out. Only by her.
Yin left without a gold collar. This is Concubine De's land appreciation for Su Licai. Naturally, Su Li had to take it back in person. I said a few words with him. He retired. When leaving. It was easy because the problem was solved.
In fact, Su Lidi's mood was not easy. There were so many things that she couldn't get out of here. What do you want to be yourself? No. It should be said. It's been eleven years. Just a few years after I arrived. She lives to live. Being alive doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. So she began to want to live like a human being. But when this consciousness awakens. She was no longer happy. No wonder there is a book that says. Humanity pondered. And God laughed. It turns out that you can be happy when you are a fool. Because fools don't know what pain is.
"That's it. Not reconciled yet? "Concubine De is waiting for no one. He asked softly.
"Okay, Li'er is not a fool, she is really out of the master, you still know who Li'er is, you can't recognize Li'er as your goddaughter, right?" Su Li was joking with Concubine De.
"It's good to figure it out, the fourth came in in two days, it seems that you are still very important in his heart." Concubine De sighed softly and thought for a while, "Li'er, it's good to go back, and besides, no matter when, the Wulanala clan is a blessing, you are a smart person, you know that I feel sorry for you." ”
Su Li was stunned for a moment, why did this sound weird? But looking at Concubine De's expression, it's not easy to ask, think about it, "What does Niangniang want to eat at night?" ”
"I don't want you to come in and be a cook, send someone to ask Li Dequan, it seems that the emperor is very happy today, think about it, what kind of dishes should we order in the evening?"
"Alas! Li'er is asking you what you want to eat. "Su Li is really angry and funny.
"Me?" Concubine De was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and was dazed for a moment.
Su Li looked at Concubine De's blankness, and suddenly flashed in her mind, it turned out that Concubine De had not been in charge of the harem when she was in charge of the harem, and the Queen Mother was already dead, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was one of the most noble women in the Qing Dynasty, right? But she didn't even have a time for me. So you're still trying to live? Isn't it a dream? So Yin said that she had her true self when she was surviving, and it turned out that she was actually her true self at that time, because although she was surviving at that time, her goal was simple and clear, so she was very happy. There is no real or false happiness in happiness, happiness is happiness.
"Thank you!" This time Su Li really smiled, it turned out that she was really persistent.
Concubine De didn't know what she was talking about, so she asked Su Li to thank herself, but when she saw that she was in a strong spirit, she suddenly became energetic, and thought that she had really figured out something, so she put her mind at ease and sighed softly.
"You have a good brain, but the woman in the palace can't think deeply about everything."
"Well, it turns out that Li'er is too persistent. Fortunately, Niangniang and the fourth master are willing to give Li'er time, and now they really understand it. Su Li smiled sweetly, "Let's have a bitter meal in the evening." ”
"Bittersweet memories! Stuffy rice with five grains, stir-fried chicken offal with pickles on a stick, and today's beef is excellent, and Li'er pickles a lot. Is it good to make a Mongolian barbecue at night? Li'er makes another hot and sour soup with scallops, kimchi, tomatoes, and tofu. ”
"It's drooling when I hear it, I hate North Koreans so much, why do you still like their kimchi?"
"It's not that I like their kimchi, it's that I like to use their kimchi as an ingredient. Eating sweet or not, salty or salty, not as crisp as our pickles, and not as refreshing as Sichuan pickles, but it can be used as an ingredient to enhance the taste. ”
Concubine De didn't understand either. Anyway, she'll be in charge of eating. Kangxi didn't come in the evening, Su Li just sent someone to pay tribute to the set he made himself, and the rules in the palace were. Each noble lord has his own small kitchen, but the three meals are prepared and sent by the imperial dining room, of course, they are all regulated, but no one cares whether they eat or not, including Kangxi, a hundred dishes, can't be seen, but in front of him on the usual food he likes to eat, the dozen dishes on the tail are to look at the plate. Lay out the numbers. Li Dequan, who was sent by Su Li, was naturally to be put in front of Kangxi, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu also sat with him, Kangxi let them eat together, Zhang Tingyu is Han, Ma Qi is Manchurian, the two have very different tastes, in fact, they are not happy to eat in the palace, the old man is here, who can eat well. What is in front of him is naturally what the old man is used to eating, and people do it with their hearts, but they will be in the last place, although no one dares to give Kangxi food overnight, but it is certain that it is not delicious.
"Give Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi a bowl." Kangxi took a bite of the simmered soft grain rice, and hurriedly asked Li Dequan to give them a bowl for each person. Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi hurriedly got up and thanked him, and he got a bowl of things that looked weird and looked weird. Took a bite. It turned out to be pretty good. Mainly hot, although the dish in front of it does not make. But the rice is very fragrant, and it is sweet when chewed.
Li Dequan knew the pain of the last seat, and hurriedly asked one of them to serve a bowl of spicy kimchi and dried scallops to make soup, Mongolian beef was sent less, and Kangxi loved to eat it, so he didn't give it to them, thinking about it, he divided a plate of stir-fried chicken offal to serve them with rice. This time, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu were all the same, after eating the small bowls and plates in front of them, and finally drank the soup, in summer, it was already very hot, and they were all used to eating at home, and they all took themselves very seriously, and if they couldn't eat, they would take supplements! I didn't expect to be able to eat such appetizing dishes in the palace.
"How does it taste?" Kangxi ate very happily, after Su Li entered the palace, the relationship with the imperial dining room was handled well, and the taste of the imperial dining room was getting better and better, of course, the side dishes made by Su Li himself were naturally more in line with his appetite.
"Of course! Emperor Xie. Zhang Tingyu knew at a glance that it was Su Li's handwriting, and said slowly with a smile.
"It's very good, Your Majesty, this time is the best, have you changed the cook?" Ma Qi is more bold.
"My daughter-in-law is filial!" Kangxi glanced at Ma Qi, but Ma Qi's straightforwardness has always been trusted by Kangxi.
"This Su Fujin of the fourth master is really careful and considerate, knowing that it is hot, I am afraid that His Majesty will not want to eat, and the taste is really unique." Zhang Tingyu still smiled respectfully.
"Hmmm! But it makes me feel a lot, I often say thrifty, in fact, I have been frugal everywhere? A table of local dishes, all of which are delicacies from the mountains and seas, how many bites can I eat? Niu Hulu often said that there are no lowly dishes, only bad cooks, she rarely cooks precious dishes, but everywhere shows her ingenuity. ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu got up and sang together.
"Alas, it's not interesting! This time, I heard that the lord of North Korea also loves hunting, so why don't you announce his victory? Kangxi continued the topic, just now he had already told Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi some anecdotes about North Korea, although he did not get out of the framework of what Su Li said, but he is an old man, and people can speak much stronger, not to mention that while Su Li was cooking lunch, he also chatted with the North Korean envoys about their customs there, and he knew more carefully and comprehensively than Su Li. Although it was to beat the time when I asked at the time, it is all information now. I have a whole plan in my head.
"I'm afraid it's too late, right?" Ma Qi was a little hesitant, he sent a letter on the way, and he received the letter, even if he rushed to the outside of the plug, the time was tight enough, but the problem was that he was still the lord of a country, and if he wanted to come out and go around, he had to prepare for ten days and a half months, and then when they thought of leaving, the old man Kangxi should go back to Beijing.
"The minister will announce the decree first, if it is not as scheduled, the emperor has his own will. Then there is the matter of the untouchables, and the ministers also feel that it is too corrupt, so it is better to ask the emperor to open the city gate and summon some craftsmen to come over, and he must give them a bite to eat to show His Majesty's benevolence. Zhang Tingyu understood Kangxi's meaning better than Ma Qi, and said slowly.
Kangxi Dayue, I didn't think that the lord of North Korea would dare to go out of his own territory without anything, and if he didn't want to come over and be slaughtered and eaten as a lamb, it would be easy to say that the untouchables would be cleared later, and the matter would be so decided.
After thinking about it, he took a sip of tea, "That, Zhang Tingyu, you talk to the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom, and ask him to send two masters who can make kitchen knives and Japanese dolls, Niu Hulu's rice is not delicious, you can go on a trip yourself." ”
"Yes! It's just that the Wa Kingdom seems to be different from North Korea. Zhang Tingyu hesitated. North Korea is a vassal country, it is a minister, its own people, what it wants to do, a will will be done, of course, there will be a certain amount of politeness in it, but in general, Kangxi wants their craftsmen to actually not have much of a burden. However, although the Wa Kingdom came to serve the court, in general, it was still an independent country. The golden knife of the horse is beaten over, across the sea! Can't beat it. Asking people with a salivating face, it seems that there is no face.
"Then go ahead!" Marzzie was very conceited.
"You!" Kangxi didn't believe him, but Zhang Tingyu hesitated, why did Ma Qi dare to speak?
"What's this? If the child wants the doll, just ask them how many they want. If you want to do it yourself, you don't have to ask the court, let a few Suzhou businessmen do it, the blacksmith, the best doll master, must do it for the little master. ”
Zhang Tingyu and Kangxi glanced at each other, thought for a while, Kangxi laughed first, Zhang Tingyu pursed his lips and smiled, it turned out that in Ma Qi's opinion, it was because the child wanted to, and he did not raise his understanding to the position of the country. But that's good, it's because I'm thinking too complicated.
"Your Majesty, these ordinary craftsmen are not difficult, but they are ......" Zhang Tingyu thought of another question, the Japanese and the Korean seem to be more finely divided, the Korean sword and the Japanese swordsman both have a high status, and they are not all untouchables. So it seems hard to get these people to come.
