Chapter Twenty-Eight: Finding My Father's Cook

After her body was raised, the queen asked Tang Yue to talk.

In the study, there are two camphor wood bookcases, a Bogu shelf, and the queen stands in front of the desk to write.

Tang Yue saluted in a low voice, not daring to disturb this party's purity.

The queen put down her pen and said, "Your mother intends to take you and your second brother Tang Long to Cui's house, and she begged me to come to me, I want to ask you what you think." The sharp blade of the phoenix's eyes swept around Tang Yue's body, and suddenly only the faint ambergris in the Boshan furnace could be smelled in the air.

Tang Yue lowered his head and thought about it, and after a while, he hesitated and said, "The queen mother wants to come and knows the things in the courtier's house, and she doesn't dare to pollute the queen's ears, but the courtiers can't rest assured that the courtier's brother and younger sister are not at ease." The mother's good intentions should not be shirked, but if you want to come, can you wait for some time? The courtier wanted to stay at home, so she and her brother went to the Cui family to serve the elders, with full filial piety. ”

"You're bold. "The queen understates the majesty of the mother of the nation.

Tang Yue hurriedly knelt down, his back was as straight as loose, his face was resolute, and he refused to give up easily.

"The queen's mother, although the second brother of the courtier is not a load-bearing son, but also a descendant of the Tang family, the monarch cannot participate in the family affairs of his subordinates at will, otherwise it will inevitably provoke the tongue of the royal history, and the queen's mother is afraid that the elders in the family will ......"

What Tang Yue said is not unreasonable, the monarch cannot be involved in the family affairs of his subordinates at will.

"You can rest assured that your mother and Hongu have their own plans. The queen re-put pen to paper, "Since you want to postpone going to Cui's house for a while, then the palace is not easy to force, the holy decree will go down in a few days, and when you are fourteen years old, you will go to Cui's house with your brother to receive teaching." ”

"Stand down. ”

Tang Yue retreated as he said, looked back before going out, and saw that the queen was covered in a layer of gold in the warm sun, adding a touch of secret color.

In the court, no one is white, even the queen has her own secrets.

On the second day, Tang Yue was escorted back to the Tang Mansion by the prince of Ping, and at the same time brought with him the honor guard, holy decree, and reward belonging to the county lord.

"Hey, why are you like this! Obviously, your family's silver silk rolls are not delicious, and they are as white as snow and as thin as silk, all of them are prestigious! They also said that we came here to smash the signboard! If you are willing to gamble and not admit defeat, no wonder you can't compare to the drunken eight immortals next door!" The man's angry voice was mixed with the woman's angry voice, a burst of pushing, a burst of noise.

"You say yes?" the shopkeeper sneered, "I don't know how to raise up to provoke, our master has been praised in the palace! A hand of silver silk is as thin as hair and as white as snow, who are you looking for to smash the field? Hurry up or don't blame me for picking people up!"

"But the shopkeeper's silver silk roll is not as famous as before! This little girl is also good at pastry! They are all peers, why bother to make enemies!" There are also conscientious passers-by who persuade.

"Get out! Isn't it because you also accept anyone's benefits! Our family's silver silk rolls have always been like this!" the shopkeeper's anger suddenly pushed the girl.

"Ahh

"Doudou!" the boy was so nervous that his pupils constricted, wishing that he was about to be hit by a horse!

"Fortunately, the coachman was very good at the horse, but he didn't hurt anyone."

Suddenly stopped, Tang Yue hit the wooden wall of the carriage fiercely.

"Hey, what are you doing! This is the frame of a noble man! How can you be allowed to be presumptuous!" This voice, Tang Yue remembered as her coachman.

Bai Li frowned, lifted the corner of the curtain and asked, "Is it okay?" lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, very polite.

Tang Yue rubbed the corners of his forehead and asked softly, "But what happened?" I listened to the girl's voice, and she was not very old, what's wrong?"

"It's hard to protect yourself, and you still have the heart to care about others?" King Ping stabbed inexplicably and fell off the curtain.

Through the curtain, she heard King Ping's unruly voice and reprimanded the boss: "Since you are willing to gamble, you should admit defeat!"

"I don't have to have a person like you who has tarnished the name of the simple customs of Kyoto's people! You should have let Jing Zhaoyin be well educated and educated when you act like this! Come here, tie me up and send Jing Zhaoyin to the yamen! Just say that you have hit the frame of this world!" King Ping was rebellious, his face was full of coldness, and his eyes swept around, which immediately made people frightened, and he did not dare to cause trouble.

When the shopkeeper heard that he had collided with the prince, he heard that he was going to be tied up and taken to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, so he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Lord Shizi, spare your life! The little ones are old and young, and they all rely on this idea to support their families!

"How do you live? Didn't you just marry the eleventh concubine? and you were angry with the original ration?"

King Ping frowned, his parents had a couple all his life, his grandfather was a good woman, and the backyard of King Ping's Mansion was not clean so far!

Squinting his eyes, Bai Li slowly spoke, "Since this is the case, why don't you hurry up and gag and send Jingzhao Yin Yamen?"

"You still don't want to get out of the way?" Bai Li took a few steps forward, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the young man and girl in front of him with an unhappy expression.

The girl's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for saving me, and the people's daughter will repay you by tying the grass ring." ”

"You're thanking the wrong person. Bai Li said lightly, and looked at the carriage.

There is a row of golden tassels hanging under the dark green curtain, full of embroidery and continuous back words, the hexagonal glazed palace lamp hanging at the two corners of the car is written with an ink pen "Tang" word, the whole car Zhu wheel canopy, gilt inlaid treasure, at a glance you know that it is not an extraordinary product, followed by the number of large and small frames, the inner attendant is on both sides, the guards are collected in the periphery, and the front is led by the prince of Ping Wang himself.

The young man took a closer look, and after a lot of deliberation in his heart, he immediately pulled the ignorant girl to kneel down and kowtowed to the sedan chair, and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving me." ”

"It's just a gesture, not enough. "It sounds like a girl's voice, tender, it doesn't seem to be very old, the girl's eyes are bright, and she counts it!

My father said that good people do not ask for anything in return, but we have to know that the kindness of the people is reciprocated, and the daughter and the elder brother have nothing to do with anything else, but the cooking skills handed down by the family are good, and the girl is willing to be a cook for the girl for a month, in order to repay the kindness of the girl. ”

"You're funny. Tang Yue chuckled, she only said one word, this girl crackled and came to a long list, and fools knew what this girl wanted to do.

Isn't it just holding the golden branch, now she is also so capable, and it is just convenient to help a gang.

"Get in the car, your brother will have to walk back. Tang Yue spoke, she has a carriage here that is mostly palace maids and rewards, and a man has no place!

Bai Li frowned and said to the county lord.

"Shizi, it's okay, keep walking. ”

Tang Yue smiled at the girl who came up and spoke, the carriage moved slowly, the girl seemed to want to open her mouth, but Tang Yue stopped by pressing her hand, and sat aside obediently.

Tang Yue looked at it, this girl was only fifteen years old, her hands had already been ground out of thick calluses, clean coarse cloth blue flower clothes, and her hair was tied with a color of cloth on her head, which looked refreshing and neat. Although he was a little restrained in sitting, he was also well-behaved, and what impressed Tang Yue was that the tips of his fingers were clean, and there were no long nails or stains.

You must know that if this girl is not clean, Tang Yue may take her back and arrange to go to the big kitchen to cook something at will, but she will never let the food she cook be brought to the table of the old lady, her mother and her siblings.

Looking at it this way, maybe you can try it?

When he arrived at the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, Tang Yue was personally helped out of the carriage by Bai Li, the prince of King Ping, and the little girl who was only thirteen years old had a trace of darkness in her innocent eyes, and led a group of palace maids to follow King Ping into the mansion.

Dressing, dressing, receiving orders, offerings.

A whole set down is already close to lunch.

At this time, she thought about the pair of brothers and sisters who were brought into the house by her.

"What is this girl called?" Tang Yue asked the girl to sit down, poured tea, the clear tea was poured into the white porcelain cup, the tea leaves stretched and parted with a taste, and the aroma of smoke and smoke swirled from the cup-sized lotus incense burner on the table, which made people can't help but relax.

"The maid's name is Mu Doudou, and the maiden's cousin is surnamed Ouyang and Jinyu. Doudou spoke, still a little nervous. She had never seen a bedroom like this.

Is this where all the ladies in Beijing live? If she was raised by her father's side, would she be able to live in such a beautiful place?

Four floor-to-ceiling spring, summer, autumn and winter embroidered screens, camphor wood carved wardrobes, pear blossom wood dressing table also placed all kinds of jewelry boxes, although the owner here is still small, but the jewelry has been piled up on the dresser, and a longan-sized pearl is placed where, hanging down the flower tent, the curtain with a silver bell, the window sill with a big red brocade, the beauty vase, the Bogu shelf full of bogu, and the bookshelf is still lying a book that is opened and pounced.

Everything here is just as she imagined, just like her pillow dream.

Will she also have such a day? She is polite and well-dressed, and she radiates a yearning light from the bottom of her heart.

Doudou was a little out of the world, probably because the incense in the room was too soft, she couldn't help but want to sleep, and answered Tang Yue's question in a daze.

Tang Yue was puzzled: "Then do you know how many grades your father worshipped, and where did he serve?"

"My father only sent a letter and asked me to come to Beijing, but my grandmother said that my father" Doudou was a little hesitant, and it was not a good thing to talk shallow and deep, but she saw Tang Yue's eyes, which were as clear as glass, "Grandmother said that my father married a new lady, so I don't have to be busy looking for my father first, I found my cousin to go to Beijing with me, my cousin wants to participate in Enke, and I look for my father to go home." ”

Tang Yue thought thoughtfully: "This year, the emperor has Kaienke. What is your father's name? Why don't I help you ask? You will live with me first, there are many empty houses on my side, and your cousin will live in the outer courtyard with my brother?"

"My father is up and down the barley Donghe, then, thank you for everything, girl. These days, the girl will leave the food and drink to me, and I promise that it will not be the same for a month!" Doudou seemed to regain his vitality, and his eyes were as bright as amber under the water.

"My name is Tang Yue, if you don't mind, you can call me by my name directly. ”

"Then you call me Doudou, that's what everyone close to me calls me. Instantly smiling with his eyebrows and eyes crooked like new sprouts, Tang Yue watched the indescribable warm current flow through the bottom of his heart.

Such a beanie, how similar she was back then!

Simple, gullible others, I just hope that in the end I won't end up like her - the family is ruined!
