Chapter 113: Calculating
Seeing the faces of the two people who seemed to be a little stunned, Concubine Rou only felt a little funny, she pulled Qi Zhenzhen closely, and glanced at the Yao family who was standing on the side, if the Yao family was a strong pinch, then she would naturally not open her mouth more, but Yao has always been a gentle and amiable person, and after she arrived at the Qi family, she also received more care from the other party.
Concubine Rou naturally remembered her help, not to mention that she really liked Qi Zhenzhen, so Concubine Rou looked at Qi Zhenzhen and came up with an idea, she was a little entangled to speak, but she didn't know if it was abrupt, and finally softened her tone slightly and said:
"Sister Yao, you know, I have always liked Zhen Zhen very much this child, and I don't care about her teaching, if I think about it, now I must have stayed here with the Qi family, if you don't mind, I will recognize Zhen Zhen as a goddaughter, and teach her more carefully in the future, although I am not talented, but I have been in the palace for many years, and I can be regarded as having some knowledge."
Originally, because he took the liberty to ask Concubine Rou, Yao's was still a little apologetic, but Yao's has never been a well-spoken person, although she felt guilty, but she didn't know how to speak, when she heard Concubine Rou's proposal, she didn't feel presumptuous, after all, the other party Qi Zhenzhen's heart, she had always seen it in her eyes.
And Qi Zhenzhen's eyes also lit up, but she didn't speak, she was afraid that Yao would think too much about it, but unexpectedly after hearing this, Yao took Qi Zhenzhen's hand very much, and then said to Concubine Rou:
"Why did my sister say such presumptuous things, I only know that you like Zhenzhen, and Zhenzhen has been taught by you a lot these days, you call me a sister, and you have always been close to Zhenzhen, although I am a stupid person, but I know that it is a good thing, why do you say it so abruptly."
Yao's meaning is to agree.
Concubine Rou couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, she hurriedly took Yao's hand and said thank you, and then walked quickly to her dressing box, and took out a hairpin from the innermost box.
Concubine Rou picked up the hairpin and was about to put it on Qi Zhenzhen's head, the Yao family was also from a family, so she naturally knew the value of this hairpin. Now that Qi Zhenzhen is young, how can she bring such a valuable thing, seeing this, she hurriedly raised her hand to stop it, and hurriedly shirked it:
"I naturally know my sister's heart for Zhen Zhen, but why give such a valuable gift, now Zhen Zhen can't wear it, it's better for you to keep it for yourself, it's good that Zhen Zhen can be taught by your sister, why should these foreign things be polite?"
Unexpectedly, hearing Yao's resignation, Concubine Rou, who has always been good-tempered, was rarely very persistent, and she said with a bit of seriousness:
"Sister doesn't think I'm polite, I really like Zhen Zhen's child, I want to teach her well, this hairpin is really precious, but it should also be given to someone who deserves it, for me now Zhen Zhen is the most worthy of this hairpin, my sister doesn't have to worry about her own things, I naturally have some savings in my hands.
What's more, isn't there still Zhenzhen? Since she recognized me, can she ignore me in the future?"
Concubine Rou's tone was a little teasing, and although Yao was weak, he was not stupid, and when she heard this, she knew that it would be rusty to shirk again, so she no longer refused, but nodded with a smile, and then looked at Qi Zhenzhen and said:
"Then Zhenzhen, you remember, don't live up to your Aunt Rou's entrustment today, and you must treat her well when you get Aunt Rou's teaching in the future, remember?"
Qi Zhenzhen also looked at Concubine Rou very happily, she was very attractive to Concubine Rou, and she had always admired a witty woman, and now she was naturally very happy to have a relationship with the other party, so she pulled Yao with one hand and Concubine Rou with the other, and shouted sweetly in her mouth.
And when they were talking and laughing at each other, they only heard a sound of footsteps, Yao hurriedly glanced out, but only saw Qi's second sister-in-law Li walking in, she was about to ask, but unexpectedly the other party saw Qi Zhenzhen and Concubine Rou, and said to the three of them:
"Just now, the personal grandmother next to the concubine came, saying that she wanted to see you, and it seems that she sent something to you, you should go out quickly, don't delay here."
After hearing this, Concubine Rou did not delay any longer, and the three of them were busy
walked out hand in hand, Concubine Shu treated her very closely, but this was because of the friendship between the two people in the past, and now their identities are different from before, so she naturally can't be too casual.
When Concubine Rou and the others went outside, they saw Aunt Zhao sitting on the chair on the side, and when she saw Concubine Rou and Qi Zhenzhen coming out, she quickly stood up, and then smiled at them and saluted, and said very kindly:
"Niangniang, Miss Qi, Concubine Niangniang, she just found some jewelry, and she thinks it is very suitable for Miss Qi, so she asked the slave maid to send it, by the way, I want to ask you when you have time, Concubine Shu wants you and Miss Qi to enter the house and talk again."
After that, Aunt Zhao got up and handed over the jewelry gift box, while Qi Zhenzhen took the gift box with a smile, talking about Concubine Xie Shu, and then turned her head to look at Concubine Rou and Yao. z.br>
Concubine Rou pondered for a while, thinking about the matter of the Yu family just now, she had to talk to Concubine Shu in detail, she originally wanted to come back another day, but she didn't expect Concubine Shu to call her in such a hurry, and she didn't know what to say.
So Concubine Rou simply said, "That grandmother will go back first, and Zhen Zhen and I will come to visit in a while."
"Yes, the slave will go back and arrange it first." Listening to Concubine Rou's words, Aunt Zhao nodded with a smile, and then retired.
After Aunt Zhao left, Concubine Rou and the others opened the jewelry gift box she had just brought, and as soon as the gift box was opened, they saw the jewels in full of jewels, and Yao, who saw this jewelry, sighed with a little emotion:
"This is really a bit precious, not to mention that the concubine just rewarded some clothes a few days ago, and Zhen Zhen should also go back to thank her."
After hearing this, Concubine Rou also nodded and said, "The concubine really likes Zhen Zhen, I plan to take Zhen Zhen to see the concubine more often, after all, now we will settle in Pingcheng, if there is the protection of the concubine, then Zhen Zhen will be more powerful in the future."
When Yao heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, and when Aunt Zhao just went back, she told Concubine Shu the news, and Concubine Shu was really happy to let people clean up the outside, and then make some pastries that Qi Zhenzhen and Concubine Rou liked, and when Concubine Rou and Qi Zhenzhen arrived, they saw Concubine Shu's smiling expression.
Concubine Rou was about to pull Qi Zhenzhen to salute, but when she saw Concubine Shu waving her hand indifferently and said, "Don't care about these false courtesies, you and I have always been close, don't you know that I don't like to pay attention to this very much?" Sit down, I have newly ordered someone to make a lily cake, which you have always loved to eat, Concubine Rou.
And Zhenzhen, your favorite chestnut cake and cherry cake, the newly made taste is sweet, how about you try it, this is made by the newly invited chef in the house, if you think she has done a good job, then I will tell someone to give it a reward."
After listening to her words, Concubine Rou picked up a piece of lily cake and took a bite, and after feeling the taste of lily cake, she squinted her eyes slightly, and then praised softly:
"The taste is very good, it smells fragrant, and it tastes soft and glutinous, my sister should reward her, but in fact, this taste always reminds me of Liu Baolin's craftsmanship in the palace in the past, she was originally a pastry shop, belonging to the Shanggong Bureau, and is very good at making pastries, and she is also favored because of this outstanding pastry, but it is ......
Concubine Rou's words didn't say everything, but Concubine Shu naturally knew what she meant, and they and Liu Baolin knew each other.
Liu Baolin was originally a concubine at the same time as Concubine Shu, but she did not have any prominent background, just an ordinary palace maid background, because she was very good at cooking pastries, so she was named a female official, and she was also favored because of pastries, just because her status was not high, so her position was only Zhengliupin Baolin.
But Liu Baolin doesn't seem to care much about these things, he only likes to make pastries, and often goes to the kitchen.
At the same time, she will give the pastries made to the harem concubines to eat, of course, she doesn't send everyone to them, after all, everyone is on guard against each other, on the surface, this Liu Baolin doesn't seem to be interested in fame and fortune, but who knows what she is thinking behind her back.
It wasn't until later that Liu Baolin became Taibaolin, there was no reason to compete for favor in the past, and everyone gathered together in the Concubine Palace, which made them slightly more harmonious with each other
For others, the embarrassing situation is comfortable for Liu Baolin.
Concubine Rou because of her friendship with Concubine Shu, so she also ate some pastries made by Liu Baolin, she has always liked to read, and praised the pastries made by Liu Baolin is also very accurate, so whenever Liu Baolin develops any new flavor of pastries, he always likes to send a copy to them.
Therefore, Liu Baolin and the two of them are more familiar, and Concubine Rou is quite emotional every time she eats, Liu Baolin's craftsmanship is indeed good.
Later, some concubines wanted to leave the palace, because Liu Baolin and Yu Zhaoyuan's hometown were very close, Liu Baolin's status was not high, not as good as Yu Zhaoyuan, but the second grade Zhaoyuan, so there were many people who followed her to serve, and Yu Zhaoyuan seemed to take care of Liu Baolin a few points, and specially arranged for Liu Baolin to go with her, for which Liu Baolin was very grateful and sent pastries to Yu Zhaoyuan many times.
And others will also appreciate Yu Zhaoyuan's generosity. The two of them left the palace together, and when they saw Yu Zhaoyuan today, they ate this pastry again, which reminded people of Liu Baolin for no reason, remembered her good craftsmanship, and the silent and introverted temperament, Concubine Rou sighed a little.
