Chapter 19: Second Class
Gu sneered: "What's the matter, now it's an iron bone, I'd rather die than give in?" Okay, then I'll fulfill you. ”
She just wanted to kill Changning's prestige, not Changning's life.
Only by combining grace and power can people be shocked, so that Changning will stop thinking about running to Qingnuan Pavilion.
After all, Changning's sweet soup is really very popular with the old lady, and this time is the critical moment, she has lost Song Yisheng's gaze, but she can't lose the old lady's blue eyes anymore.
But Changning didn't know what to do, and he refused to bow his head, which was fatal to the Gu family.
Then let her die.
Gu's heart was angry, anyway, she already knew about adding fresh nectar to the sweet soup, and she could always find a taste that could replace Changning.
"Drag her down-" Before Gu finished speaking, he heard Chang Ning suddenly speak: "Is the cold cake delicious?" ”
Gu Shi was stunned, and the handyman who stepped forward with a stick did not dare to move.
Mei Xiang glared and said hurriedly: "Auntie, don't listen to her nonsense, just kill the matter, the old lady's glass cup can't be broken in vain." ”
"Of course it can't be broken in vain." Changning said with a smile: "Auntie, I don't know if the cold cake I gave to the old lady is not in line with the taste, do you want to ask, lest the Qian family can't make the taste when you get it, and you will lose the old lady's favor." ”
Gu Shi raised his head, his eyes flickered, and he hurriedly went out: "Look at her." ”
According to Changning, the two girls also left, Changning looked back with a smile, and Shi Shiran entered the kitchen.
The rest of the kitchen handymen didn't dare to approach, so they just looked at the window.
I saw Changning quickly roll the sugar dumplings that Aunt Ma had just made in the water and put them on the plate, rolled out the crushed peanuts and starch syrup and poured them upward, put ice cubes on both sides of the plate, and carved a radish hairpin in the corner of the plate, and put it in the food box to go out.
"Stop!" The two handymen guarding the gate of Qingshu Courtyard were ordered not to let her go out.
Changning smiled: "My aunt has already gone to the old lady to ask, if the old lady can't see this food, who do you guess is the one who is embarrassed?" Will my aunt let you go? ”
The guards looked at each other, and in the way of Aunt Ma'er's face, they were finally released.
In the dining hall, the old lady of the Song Dynasty, Du Shi, wore gold and silver, and the ruby on her forehead was as big as a pigeon's egg, and her head was inlaid with gold and silver beads and jade jade.
Du Shi sat on the rattan chair and shook the fan, she had eaten a lot of good things in the past half a month, and her body was so hot that she was uncomfortable.
She had tasted Changning's craftsmanship, and she immediately asked, "Where is the cold cake, take it out and let my mother taste it." ”
Gu Shi stiffened: "She didn't send it to her mother?" ”
Du Shi's face sank to the ground, like the violent heat after a basin of cold water poured on her body on her body quickly evaporated in the hot summer, making her temper jump upward.
"Poor sister, don't tease your aunt." Du Shi can still ask patiently, this is already for the sake of Gu is face of her niece, if Gu can't get anything again, she will be angry.
Cold sweat trickled down Gu's spine.
She was really reckless, and she couldn't get anything out of her words, wouldn't it make the old lady think that this was a teasing?
"The cold cake is here." Changning's cool voice shouted in the courtyard of the dining hall.
Du Shi immediately turned cloudy and sunny, beckoning: "Let her in." ”
Changning entered the door with a food box, and Gu Shi stood on the side and looked at her with a look in his eyes, he could rip off a piece of her meat, as well as the plum fragrance next to her, which was like eating people.
She was unhurried and bowed: "The old lady has been waiting for a long time, and my aunt wants me to be fine, so I don't dare to leave quickly, for fear of spilling something." ”
While talking, the plate of cold cake was taken out, and the cold appearance was so refreshing.
"It's still chilled?" Du's eyes sharpened to see the ice cubes in the food box.
"My aunt has explained, the old lady is born noble, so she naturally wants to eat the most exquisitely, this is the favorite ice silk cold cake of those noble ladies and ladies in Chang'an, please taste it to the old lady." Changning Road.
She knows the Du family very well, the Du family in Chengyang was already in decline when this woman was born, so she didn't develop any beautiful appearance, if it weren't for the Song family's uncle's insistence on fulfilling the family affairs set by her parents, she would not have married into Qing'anbo's mansion.
It's just that a few years after the good days, the uncle of the Song family died on the battlefield to save General Liu, and the title of the earl was also taken away by the second room under the name of Song Yisheng's young age.
It wasn't until General Liu came back from the expedition that he made decisions for them, and Changning's help from time to time was able to be decent.
So now that he has really gained a position of power, Du Shi is like a bottomless pit, frantically asking for it.
Fame, money, status, all the same.
Changning grasped this point, and Du Shi was happy in his heart when he said something, and scooped one with a soup spoon, the entrance was sweet and soft and cool, it was indeed delicious, but it was expensive in the name.
"Okay, very good, I still have a heart." Du Shi praised it very much, and said: "What I ate in Chang'an with the old man back then was a taste." ”
Gu Shi rolled his eyes in his heart, Du Shi had never been to Chang'an in his life, and he still had a taste.
But now she can only bear it hard, and she has to laugh, but when she looks at Changning again, the anger in her eyes inadvertently dissipates.
Count this girl as acquaintances.
Changning said that she had already given her the stairs, so she naturally wouldn't be unable to get along with herself.
He came out of the dining hall happily, and Gu also got a dowry bracelet from the Du family, which was usually a reward for the eldest woman, which instantly made Gu smile and blossom, and looked at Changning's eyes became much softer.
Under the green shade at the corner of the dining hall, the green-clothed girl stared at this side suspiciously, and when she saw the Gu family and them coming out, she shrank back like a thief.
Changning's gaze swept over, and he only had time to see a shadow that had run away.
"Please don't believe those gossip aunts, you are the cousin and niece of the old lady, and the eldest son is the son-in-law, and this bit of vision is still good." She showed her loyalty at the right time, and also received a reward of three taels of silver from the Gu family.
When Mei Xiang took the silver, her face was green.
"Sister Shanyun, you're back."
"Sister Shanyun."
As soon as I entered Qingshu Courtyard, I greeted him warmly, no matter how big or small, they were very polite, and those who were too old to call their sisters also smiled and shouted: "Miss Shanyun." ”
Changning smiled and nodded, neither arrogant nor flattering.
In the small kitchen, Aunt Ma was still reading God's blessing, until the girl in front of Gu's came to pass the word, saying that she was startled when she promoted Shanyun to be a second-class girl.
"Girl, don't amuse me."
"Where can it, Aunt Ma, that Shanyun can be regarded as having the blue eyes of Mrs., and now in addition to the two sisters of Mei Xianglanxiang, she is the most used by Mrs. The little girl is sour.
How decent a second-class girl is, Shanyun can leap from a rough girl to a second-class girl, this is a flying speed.
Just in time for Changning to enter the door, the little girl was about to leave, Changning raised the corners of her mouth: "Help me bring a message to Mei Xiang and ask her what to do with the glass cup in our small kitchen." ”
