Chapter 117: Jujube Pastry
Seeing Concubine Shu's posture and look, Yu Zhaoyuan's face was a little thoughtful, and now although she looked gentle, her attitude was resistant, Yu Zhaoyuan didn't know why Concubine Shu was like this?
Seeing that Concubine Shu did not do what she thought, Yu Zhaoyuan's attitude was a little more cautious, she was no longer like just now, but secretly glanced at Yu Xiu with her eyes, she naturally wanted to bring Yu Xiu to the door to ask for sin, so she couldn't just let her speak, and looked at Compared to her, Concubine Shu seemed to be more interested in Yu Xiu.
In this way, if you operate it carefully, you may be able to let Yu Xiu live in this Jingwang Mansion for a few days, in this case, her reputation in Pingcheng will be better, but although Yu Zhaoyuan's abacus is loud, but Concubine Shu is not a chess piece in her hand, how can she let her arrange it.
So Yu Zhaoyuan threw out a few topics that Concubine Shu liked, and Concubine Shu asked Yu Xiu a few words, but Yu Xiu is usually lazy, although she has been raised by her grandmother, but she has never paid much attention, so when she replied to Concubine Shu at this time, her tone was a little hesitant.
After this, Concubine Shu didn't seem to ask her interest anymore, so Yu Xiu could only stand in place awkwardly, and at the same time kept signaling Yu Zhaoyuan with her eyes, wanting her to relieve herself, and Yu Zhaoyuan looked at Yu Xiu's reply so clumsily, and couldn't wait to step forward and kick her a few times to make her smarter.
Waiting to see her just stand in place, squeezing her eyebrows at her, she only dislikes her even more, she hasn't taught these things, she can't help but personally pass Yuxiu in advance, and even repeatedly told Mama to teach Yuxiu more, but Yuxiu still behaved so stupidly, Yu Zhaoyuan really didn't bother to care about her anymore.
She only regretted it now, she knew that Yu Xiu would be like this, no matter what the head of the Yu family said at the beginning, she should have categorically refused, and then brought other women from the Yu family to come. But no matter what, Yu Zhaoyuan also had to pick up some face for Yu Xiu, so she said with a little greeting:
"Back to the concubine, although Yuxiu has always had no talent in reading, but she likes to make pastries very much, and her skills are quite good, I remember that you have always liked to eat jujube mud cakes, it is better to let her make them for you to taste, you can also taste her craftsmanship, if you can give her a few words, it will help her."
Yu Zhaoyuan really didn't know how to arrange Yu Xiu, she wanted to raise the other party to give the Yu family a long face, but she had to have Yu Xiu herself have a shining point, thinking about it several times in her mind, Yu Zhaoyuan finally thought about the few pastry recipes she had taken from Liu Baolin before.
The pastry made by the pastry recipe is really delicious, Yu Zhaoyuan couldn't help but sigh as soon as she ate it, and at the same time, the girl of the Yu family was also specially sent by her to teach, and Yu Xiu was also asked by her to learn a jujube mud cake, although it can only make half of the taste of the pastry, but if you take it out, it is not bad.
So Yu Zhaoyuan thought that she would let Yu Xiu behave and get a little favor with Concubine Shu.
But unexpectedly, after hearing this, Concubine Shu did not do things according to her expected angle, she did not echo Yu Zhaoyuan's meaning, and at the same time seemed to say with a little nostalgia:
"When Sister Yu talks about this jujube mud cake, it reminds me of Liu Baolin's craftsmanship, and now in this Jingwang Mansion, although I specially hired a few cooks to come back, but the taste of their pastries is always not as good as Liu Baolin's, I remember that Liu Baolin went back to Ningzhou with his sister when he left the palace, right?
Do you know where she lives now? It would be nice if I could let her come to this flat city for a few days."
After that, Concubine Shu's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, only to hear her say again: Z.br>
"It would be better if she could teach the people in the small kitchen how to cook pastries, after all, Liu Baolin's skills are above them."
If what Concubine Shu said was something else, Yu Zhaoyuan would definitely agree, after all, she had something to ask Concubine Shu, and naturally the other party had the best request for her, so that after the other party owed a favor, she would have something else to do with Concubine Shu, which would be more convenient.
Instead of being tied up like now, if you want to do something, you have to think about how Concubine Shu can accept it.
It's just that this Liu Baolin is absolutely impossible, after all, what Yu Zhaoyuan did to her at the beginning, once Liu Baolin was brought over from her, if she didn't talk about it and exposed this matter, she didn't want to say that she was good friends with Concubine Shu, I was afraid that she would reject her and would not intersect with her again.
So at this time, Yu Zhaoyuan can only show a very unfamiliar attitude towards Liu Baolin, and at the same time explain that she has nothing to do with her, only in this way can she no longer be asked by Concubine Shu.
So I saw Yu Zhaoyuan say with a bit of politeness, "How dare I disobey Niangniang's wishes? If I have Liu Baolin's whereabouts, I will definitely inform you, but since I arrived in Ningzhou, I have been living in the courtyard of the Yu family, and I have not gone out, and naturally I have no more contact with Liu Baolin.
If you are curious, then I will send someone to inquire when I return to Ningzhou, and if there is any news, I will inform you."
Yu Zhaoyuan looked very caring for Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu had a gentle smile on her face, but there was a little coldness in her heart in the sneer, if she hadn't known Yu Zhaoyuan's methods in advance, she might have really believed what the other party said.
I believe she really hasn't seen Liu Baolin, but obviously she has done so many things behind her back, but she still doesn't show her face clearly, such scheming, such a Yu Zhaoyuan makes Concubine Shu a little strange, and it also makes her just want to stay away, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with the other party, after all, she is in a high position now, but who knows when she will not be like Liu Baolin, she will become a chess move in the hands of Yu Zhaoyuan.
So Concubine Shu just shook her head and smiled politely and refused, and Yu Zhaoyuan also followed the pole to find a topic when she saw this: "Speaking of which, there are also a few shops in Ningzhou that make very good pastries, if you like it, then I will ask them to make some and send them over, if there are pastries for you to taste, I will ask them to send a pastry chef or send a recipe, what do you think?"
When Concubine Shu heard this, she originally wanted to refuse, she didn't want to have too much to do with Yu Zhaoyuan, but when she heard the other party say this, she still had an idea, didn't she know if there were any outstanding pastry chefs in Ningzhou? Yu Zhaoyuan's attitude is so determined, coupled with the fact that she looks like she is about to stutter, then this so-called recipe is definitely not from a pastry shop in Ningzhou.
Or simply to put it another way, but from Liu Baolin, after all, only Liu Baolin's pastries have been praised by her, if Yu Zhaoyuan wants to please her, then it will definitely be developed by Liu Baolin's hands, and then used to please her, so after thinking about it, Concubine Shu's original refusal turned around, should she consider agreeing?
After all, although she and Liu Baolin don't have much to do with each other, they also have a few sides with each other, knowing that although Liu Baolin is a docile person, she also likes the other party's personality very much, if she can help, she naturally doesn't want Liu Baolin to be trapped under Yu Zhaoyuan's hands and be controlled by her.
At the same time, Concubine Shu also wanted to pinch one of Yu Zhaoyuan's handles, so that others would know how she had always behaved, so Concubine Shu said with a little politeness:
"In that case, then it's troublesome Sister Yu, when Sister Jade lets them send pastries, I will definitely reward them well, and I will definitely not forget Sister Yu's shot."
Concubine Shu knew that only by giving the other party some benefits could Yu Zhaoyuan show her feet faster, so at this time, she naturally did not hesitate to use one or two means in words, and sure enough, after hearing her say this, Yu Zhaoyuan's face showed a little joy.
If she talked about anything else, she might have some difficulties, but when it came to this pastry recipe, she pinched Liu Baolin in her hand, and there were many ways to make pastries in the other party's hands, so she took out one casually and let the pastry chef she trusted learn to make pastries for Concubine Shu and the like.
At that time, she could have instructed the pastry chef to leave a little bit of method when making pastries and not to say anything, so that the people he taught would always make a little less taste, if that was the case, Concubine Shu would naturally be reluctant to him, so that Yu Zhaoyuan could place a fine work here and see the news of King Jing's Mansion at any time.
When she thought of this, Yu Zhaoyuan couldn't help but be happy, and she didn't even care much if Yu Xiu didn't like her from being liked by Concubine Shu, after all, Yu Xiu was a fool, so she was here
In the Jingwang Mansion, it is inevitable that it will be easy to show her feet, so in this case, it is better to simply not let her enter the palace, and save herself from having to do all kinds of things for her.
And he can ask the Zheng family what they mean, and see if the Zheng family is willing to let Yuxiu serve Zheng Gongzi? If this is the case, she can also be regarded as a secret chess piece in Zheng Jiabu, as for King Jing's Mansion, she will choose a person who is smart and clever and loyal to her, so that the other party can be less obvious, and she can also listen to more news.
Yu Zhaoyuan originally wanted to say more, but looking at Concubine Shu in front of her with a little lack of interest, she knew that if she stayed here for a long time, the other party would definitely be disgusted again, so Yu Zhaoyuan simply decided not to open her mouth at first, and sent it over after choosing a pastry chef, and then came here to listen.
And as long as she maintains a good relationship with Concubine Shu on the surface, if she has something to come to the door in person to plead in the future, Concubine Shu will naturally not be able to avoid her like now.
