The socks were done, Fang Shanggong didn't come, Xie Ning still missed her a little, and asked people to send a thank you gift to the past, Fang Shanggong accepted it and gave her a copy of "Hundred Flowers". It's not about raising flowers, it's about embroidery.

This book is too human. At this time, everyone is holding their skills tightly, and it is really difficult to find such a book.

Fang Shanggong gave her this "Hundred Flowers Collection" is a hand-copied book, I don't know who wrote it, strictly speaking, this is not a book, it can only be regarded as a notebook, the stitching and embroidery skills recorded on the head are more suitable for beginners, and then turn it over, and there is a knot tied to the flowers.

Qinghe doesn't know much literacy, and the words she knows now are still taught to her one after another after serving Shaining. But there are not only words on it, but also many drawings drawn with fine ink lines, which seem to be concise and clear, and can be understood even if you are illiterate.

"Fang Shanggong is really a sincere person." Qinghe didn't dare to turn it over, and after looking at it twice, he carefully held the book and put it on the desk: "I heard that the atmosphere of the Needlework Bureau is getting worse and worse now. It's good now, the apprentice will accept it, but he won't teach anything. ”

Xie Ning asked in wonder: "Are you afraid that the disciples of the church will starve the master to death?" ”

Qinghe shook his head: "Who knows." The slave maid almost entered the needlework bureau, but fortunately he didn't go, I heard that they were very hard to work, and it was difficult to get out, and their eyes and body bones were boiled out early, and they didn't even end up. ”

She said plainly, but it scared Qingmei a lot.

"I was almost picked up by the needlework bureau at that time." Qingmei said: "At that time, Shang Gong, who took us, said that the Needlework Bureau was a good place, and those who worked hard would definitely have the opportunity to be promoted. I was clumsy, and people didn't pick on me. Now that I think about it, it's actually my blessing that I didn't pick on me. ”

Qinghe smiled and said, "You can be considered to have said the right thing." It's your luck that you didn't go to the needlework bureau. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the blessing to serve our master now. ”

It's easy to pass the time for talking and laughing, and when it's almost noon, Qingmei goes to the dining room to order food as usual. Just then went out, and followed a little eunuch, full of sisters and sisters, and good words were as good as not asking for money, so I wanted her to carry errands.

"My sister is also a big palace maid with a head and a face now, how can this kind of errand and errand still work for my sister to go in person? What our master wants to eat, my sister just tells me, I run errands for my sister, and I can't get any luck. If it's bad, my sister will take my head off. ”

Qingmei just smiled, and her footsteps didn't stop: "What kind of head and face am I?" I've been doing this for more than two years. Are you done? ”

The little eunuch who scolded her was surnamed Hu, and he originally had no surname, but after entering the palace, some people nicknamed him Thin Monkey, and some people called him Hu Monkey. They were also assigned to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion early, doing some chores in the courtyard, and it was not their turn to serve the master closely.

These people all want to compete for the opportunity to perform in front of their masters, after all, there are many tasks that the palace people can't do, and they have to rely on the eunuchs to do it.

If you don't compete now, then what's the competition?

Qingmei went to the dining room, Huang Gonggong treated her more politely than before, quickly dusted off the ashless stool for her to sit down, and called the apprentice to pour tea one after another.

"Father-in-law Huang doesn't need to be so polite, our master said that if there are fish and shrimp, make a dish with river freshness. Then there is a steamed pork with lotus leaf powder, a vegetarian fried silver sprout, and the soup should be lighter. ”

She said that Huang Gonggong answered, and brought out a food box from the house with a smile: "Here is a powder cake made of new chestnuts, as well as steamed dates and crystal pear cheese, please Xie Meiren try it." ”

This benefit is available almost every day, and Qingmei is not welcome. According to the portion, the master also has four kinds of snacks every day. But dim sum is different from dim sum, those who are not favored can only pick up the leftovers picked by others, and sometimes they will even send what they made yesterday over. I have to say that Xie Meiren has encountered such a thing before, but that was a long time ago.

Huang Gonggong wanted someone to help Qingmei carry the food box with snacks, and Hu Hou'er, who followed all the way, took a step forward and raised his head to receive the food box in his hand.

On the way back, Qingmei was still empty-handed, and Hu Monkey walked fast and steady with the food box, following her closely, just half a step behind, and did not walk side by side with Qingmei.

Qingmei thinks that Hu Monkey is a good person, and he is quite eye-catching. When she took the food box at the door, she kindly gave him a pointer: "It's useless for you to please me, I can't speak in front of the master." You should try it at Sister Qinghe, she is the most decent in front of her master. ”

Hu Monkey responded with a smile, watching Qingmei turn around and enter the door, and couldn't help muttering in her stomach.

Why didn't he know that Qinghe was the head of this Lingering Fragrance Pavilion? But Qinghe is so shrewd, if you want to be sticky, you have to be able to stick it.

Qingmei carried the food box into the house and took out the snacks inside and put them on the table.

Qinghe was sitting there with Xie Ning to sort out the line, talking about the new things he had just heard from outside.

“…… Chen Jieyu can't shake her majesty now. ”

When Qingmei came in late, she heard such a sentence, and she approached with some curiosity and asked, "What's wrong with Chen Jieyu?" ”

"Didn't Chen Jieyu hold a birthday banquet before?" Qinghe is in a good mood, and he is also very kind to Qingmei, which makes Qingmei flattered.

"I know that."

Qinghe said with a smile: "She invited a room of guests, but she didn't start the banquet for a long time, screaming that the guests were hungry, and serving tea to people over and over again, and everyone was fighting for the toilet." ”

Qingmei was dumbfounded: "Why?" ”

That sounds so vicious. I didn't give food to the guests, but I tried my best to let people fill the water, and I couldn't grab the toilet after filling my stomach.

Is Chen Jieyu really a treat? It's all her enemies.

"Actually, she just wants to wait for someone."

Qingmei asked blankly, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

"Wait for the emperor." Qinghe knew that Qingmei's brain was not so bright, so she quickly told her the answer to the riddle: "She expected the emperor to go to her birthday banquet from the beginning, so she delayed the banquet for a long time." waited until the sun was in the west, and then I had to die and let people serve the food. Because I have waited for too long, the dishes have already been prepared, the cold dishes are not cold, the hot dishes are not hot, and even the wine has run away, and the people who went to the banquet complained about it after they came back. ”

Because Chen Jieyu and Xie Ning are not in harmony, of course, the whole of Yingxiang Pavilion is the same enemy, and everyone is very happy to hear the news of Chen Jieyu's bad luck.

Xie Ning also smiled: "Fortunately, I didn't plan to go in the first place." ”
