Chapter 40: The Heart of the King

Fenglin City's boiling "robber" incident is finally over, it is said that the robbers have been caught, Jingtai Ji people are only implicated by the robbers, and they are all released immediately after verifying the truth, in order to show compensation, Baili Wangfu also rewarded a large amount of money.

On the third day, Jing'er, Liu San, and Chen Si were taken into the Baili Palace, and Fu Shaogen was still placed in Muxiyuan, and Jing'er and Shao Qin'er became Fu Shaogen's personal maids. Liu San and Chen Si were assigned to Bailibo's personal guards, and they were only responsible for the safety of the people in Muxiyuan on a daily basis.

Bailibo was very thoughtful, Muxiyuan originally did not set up a separate stove, for fear of less food and more unsatisfactory food, so a small kitchen was expanded in Muxiyuan, and Xu Wang's family was specially sent in from Xiangye Hutong.

From the fourth day, the upper and lower levels of Baili Wangfu received instructions from Bailibo, and they all changed their words to be called Fu Shao and "Madame". Regardless of what to eat, wear, or use, all of them are compared to the standards of the princess.

Xu Changshi came to visit Fu Shaogeng, and he didn't expect that this civilian, who was escorted back from Xiangguo Mansion, would fly on the branches in such a short period of time and become the head of the Baili Palace.

Before there was no mistress in the palace, he took care of all the internal and external affairs in the palace, and now that he has the actual mistress, he must hand over some of the power as soon as possible.

Therefore, he brought the stewards of the inner and outer palaces, the account rooms, the treasury and the stewards of various industries of the palace to visit Fu Shaogen in Muxiyuan.

It's just that it's not the right time to come, it just so happens that Bailibo and Fu Shao will start their meals early at noon. Jing'er and Shaoqin'er didn't dare to eat at the same table with Bailibo, so they avoided going to the wing.

"Xu Qiming sent a small basket of puffer fish early in the morning, do you know how to eat puffer fish?" Fu Shao was asking Bailibo, smiling like a fox with chopsticks in his mouth. Baili Bo looked at her sparkling eyes, and asked very modestly and studiously: "I don't know, please show me." ”

"The treatment of puffer fish is very troublesome, if you want to eat puffer fish must make sauce first, you must use good soybeans, as long as there are black, sauce color, purple are all don't, boil the soybeans, sun-cooked, add salt, add porcelain urn with putty sealing, hide to the second year, use this sauce to make sauce roast pufferfish, the world is delicious. However, if the color of the bean is not pure, the puffer fish will be poisonous, and the eater will die. Fu Shao said proudly: "I was in the ...... back then." At that time, she made her own sauce, although she didn't have it at the moment, but Xu Wangshi said that she had other methods, you can try it, with my understanding of her, I am afraid that the delicacy will not lose my approach. ”

"Very good, try this taste today, and try the kind of practice that Madame said next year." Bailibo said expectantly.

"The prince is not afraid that the toxicity will be inexhaustible, and his reputation will be ruined?"

"I can live and die with my wife, and I can't ask for it."

“…… The prince's speech was so sour. As the old saying goes, it's really good, poor talent, sour scholar. ”

“…… After that, I will call you Ah Geng, will you call me to sail the boat? ”

"What porridge?"

“…… The boat on the river. ”

"Okay then."

Bailibo looked at Fu Shaogen, and his heart became more and more happy.

The people who stood in the courtyard and waited were more and more panicked in their hearts.

Is it the regent who is talking here? The regent Bailibo, who is not smiling, has a cold face like ice, says everything in the court, and is resolute?

Especially Xu Changshi, remembering that he had read out the "orders" he had made his own claims outside the gate of Muxiyuan, he was sweating like rain and shaking like chaff. I only ask for the blessing of God and Buddha in my heart, and I hope that this new master is not a cautious person.

Today, for the sake of this pufferfish, Muxiyuan opened the meal in advance.

Fu Shao imagined all kinds of methods, but he didn't expect that Xu Wang's would slice a plate of raw puffer fish meat like this, and saw that the fish meat was crystal clear, uniform thickness, uniform length, and a piece of thin as a cicada's wings. There is also a small dish next to it, which is mixed with a peculiar sauce, which has a faint touch of gold in it, and smells fresh and spicy. Fu Shao's curiosity was almost to break through the Tianling cover, so he picked up a piece with chopsticks and dipped it into the sauce, dipped it and immediately put it in his mouth.

"Hmm." Fu Shaogen's eyes were immediately full of tears, and he covered his mouth and said, "It's spicy and sweet!" Delicious! ”

Bailibo laughed: "It turns out that this is the practice, which is a common practice in my country." He pointed to the saucer and said: This is made of mustard seeds ground with mustard seeds, and eating raw food can remove the fishy taste. He touched Fu Shaogen's head again: "Compared to this, I want to taste Ah Geng's craftsmanship more." ”

Fu Shao didn't have time to pay attention to her, and concentrated on the other dishes that Xu Wang presented one after another.

In addition to cutting the puffer fish raw, Xu Wang's also fried the fins of the puffer fish in lard, sprinkled with chili powder and salt grains, and the entrance was crispy; There is also a dish of pork meal stewed with vermicelli cabbage heart and green vegetable and tofu soup.

Just smelling the aroma of the vegetables made Fu Shao's index fingers move, and he reached out and took a big bite of a bowl of white rice, only to feel that even the rice grains were very sweet.

Fu Shao sighed: "This Xu Wang is really a wonderful person, I don't know where Xu Qiming found it, after eating the food she cooked, I realized that the ones I ate in the past were all pig food." ”

Baili Bo said: "Xu Wang's family, Mo Feifu's family surname is Xu?" Fenglin City has never heard of a big family surnamed Xu...... Eating puffer fish raw, this practice is from the palace. If you're curious, I'll let them inquire. ”

Fu Shao stopped him: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, although I am curious, I never do things that are difficult for strong people." ”

Baili Bo smiled again and touched her head.

Meal. Xu Changshi took everyone to see Fu Shaogeng, Bailibo did not leave, accompanied Fu Shaogen to listen to Xu Changshi talk about the income and expenses of the regent palace and human relations, and led the big and small stewards to visit one by one, among which the steward of the treasury handed over two keys, one large and one small.

"This is the key to the treasury of the palace, and the key to my private treasury." Baili Bo Chaofu Shao smiled and said: "I rarely go to the treasury, in addition to the palace gifts, there are also places to pay tribute, I am afraid that I have saved a lot of good things over the years, you see what you like, just take it out and play." ”

Play?! The steward of the treasury couldn't help but sweat.

I didn't want to Bailibo and said: "And my private treasury, they are all treasures that I got by accident, and now they are all at your disposal." ”

Fu Shaogen: "I'm not interested in the warehouse, but I want to take a look at the private warehouse." After saying that, he only took the small key presented by the storehouse steward.

Baili Bo said: "Let you dispose of it, I only have one small condition." ”

Fu Shao looked at him, and Baili Bo saw that her eyes were round and big, clear and bright, and his face was very clearly reflected in them, and he was overjoyed in his heart. couldn't help but wrap her hand in her palm, and unconsciously rubbed the small scar on her fingertips: "As long as you allow me to eat here in the future, I will live here." ”

Fu Shaogen's face was a little hot, and he said: "I'm used to living alone, I'm just afraid that I won't be used to it when you come." ”

Baili Bo glanced at the pestle in the hall and there were so many human flesh stakes with ears pricked up, and he didn't want to say more, so he patted Fu Shaogeng's hand and said, "Let's talk about this matter later, if you have any orders, you should explain to them first." ”

Say it in the evening? In the evening, Fu Shaogen snorted and said to Xu Changshi: "The affairs of the house are still hard work, I am not good at these things, if there is something difficult to handle, we will discuss it, it is really not possible, and then ask the prince to take the idea." What does the long history think? ”

Xu Changshi saw that the power was still in his hands, and he was glad in his heart, so he nodded again and again and said: "Madame, don't worry, everything in the house has rules to follow, if there is anything difficult to decide, please ask Madame to show me." Having said that, Xu Changshi couldn't help but feel that she was about a woman from a common family who didn't know anything about things in a wealthy family. However, being able to tell each other frankly and not greedy for power is already quite honest.

After speaking, he also knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he asked everyone to kowtow to Fu Shaogen quickly, and hurriedly led the crowd away.

As soon as the people left, the Muxiyuan suddenly emptied, and even the air was fresher. Fu Shao was a little embarrassed and said to Bailibo: "In the past, I only knew how to march and fight, and I lived in the barracks longer than I lived in my own house in a year, and I never thought that one day I would become an inner house woman, and I would have to learn many things from scratch." ”

Bailibo listened for a long time and was silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Fu Shaogen was secretly blaming himself for being honest, so he listened to Bailibo whisper: "Ah Geng, I have never regarded you as a woman in the house. These things don't need to be learned at all, they don't have to be learned. ”

"Then what should I do every day when I live with you?" Fu Shao asked.

Fu Shaogen's question made Bailibo panic for no reason.

He smiled reluctantly: "There is intrigue above the court, and there is also the smoke of war outside the court, there are many things you can do for me...... Now, I just want you to be happy, and you don't have to think about anything to live a comfortable life for a few days, and it won't make you feel bored. ”

After speaking, he took her hand: "Let's go, let's show you your small vault first." ”

Fu Shao said in his heart that he was really obedient and didn't need money, since this person is so generous, I really want to go to his private vault today to find a few treasures.

Baili Wangfu is very large, many places have never been set foot in, Baili Bo dragged her hand all the way, obviously it is a small road in the garden, but the winding path is quiet, suddenly the peak turns around, the small bridge and flowing water everywhere, the scenery is easy to move. Not long after, I suddenly saw a high-walled deep house surrounded by curved corridors. The door of the house was locked, and three words were written on it: Bishan House.

"This was my mother's home when she was not married." Baili Bo Road.

Fu Shao was even more surprised: "Your mother? Could it be the former queen mother? ”

"Yes, she gave birth to my eldest brother shortly after entering the palace, and she gave birth to me ten years later. When I was given the surname of the house, my eldest brother gave me this mansion. ”

Bailibo and the former emperor are compatriots of the same mother, and Fu Shao has known about this matter for a long time, and Fu Shao wants to ask him: Then your sister-in-law slaughtered the Medicine King Valley, do you know about this? Are you involved? How did the Book of Medicine King get into your hands?

Fu Shao held back the words, she was a little afraid to hear an answer that she never wanted to hear.

When I arrived at Bishanfang, Bailibo turned on his heels and arrived at a gate with white walls and black tiles, where the steward of the treasury had been waiting for a long time. Bailibo said with a smile: "This is the palace treasury, I'll take you to see it first." ”

The steward immediately opened the lock and respectfully welcomed the two in.
