Chapter Seventy-Four: Dim Sum
"Thank you for the kindness of the prince and Mr., it's just that my brother is stubborn, and I hurt the son-in-law of Uncle Chen's family, so it's not good to show favoritism." Shen Xing bowed his hand again, his posture was the lowest, but he was firm in his words, but it was difficult for Li Jiehai to shake it.
He was entrusted by the prince this time to come to give favors, but he was pushed back by this Shen family child who was neither soft nor hard, and his heart was already unhappy.
However, the people in the officialdom, even if they can scold others to the sky in their hearts, their faces are as warm as the light and the moon. Li Jiehai thought that he had a good self-cultivation, so he only curled his lips and glanced at him obliquely, "I hope Shen Gong doesn't regret it." After all, there is only one brother. ”
Naturally, his words were a little provocative and vicious. However, Shen Xing's face remained unchanged, he made a gesture of please, his eyebrows and eyes drooped, and his emotions were not obvious, "Mr. Li, please go slowly." ”
Li Jiehai shook off the sleeves of his robe on the spot and went straight away.
Zhang Ling, who was secretly observing by the door of the Shen Mansion, glanced out, pulled back his head, and sent a peanut to his mouth, and really praised his own division in his heart.
The crown prince finally couldn't sit still......
.
Seeing off the second master during the day, Shi Jin stared at the filth in the bed tent and his eyes were empty.
Sighing slightly, she didn't have the face to send the brocade mattress to the room.
Because after sorting out the work in the second master's yard, she boiled some hot water and began to wash the brocade mattress.
After packing up the brocade mattress, Shi Jin went out of the ear room and learned some tea with Si Qi.
Si Qi taught as usual very carefully, Shi Jin made tea according to her technique, and handed it to Si Qi to taste.
I saw her little finger slightly upturned, pecked shallowly, pursed her lips and tasted it, and a little smile flashed on her face, "It's okay, it looks better than Zhihua." ”
Shi Jin also laughed, poured himself a bowl, put it on the tip of his nose, and smelled the fragrance of tea in his heart.
"That's right," Si Qi glanced at Shi Jin as if he remembered something, "The second son was imprisoned in Dali Temple because of a fight with someone." The eldest lady specially hid it from the old lady because of this. Although we are the maids of Qingfeng Temple, we must be cautious in our words and deeds, and you should be careful of errands. ”
Shi Jin was stunned, and he might as well burn his fingertips with the tea in his hand, and then he put down the teacup in a panic, "When did it happen?" ”
"The night before, right? Zhihua didn't mean that Hou Ye called the second master in the middle of the night. Si Qi said.
Shi Jin lowered his eyes. The second master got up in the middle of the night, she naturally knew what was going on. But I never expected that this matter would be related to the second son.
Although she is not familiar with the second son, but after several contacts, the second son's humble and gentlemanly character is very praised by Shi Jin, so he didn't dare to think of such a dignified gentleman for a while, and he dared to do it with others.
She asked Si Qi carefully, but Si Qi also didn't know anything about it, so she only asked Shi Jin to be at ease and not to touch the master's head.
When Si Qi went to be busy with other things, Shi Jinyu stood in place, and walked around the tea room a few times, and suddenly remembered what the second master said to her yesterday, "If you have a friend, and this friend's friend is held hostage and threatened, what should you do?" ”
Shi Jin didn't understand what he meant at the time, but now he understands a little.
Although the second master is vague, it is not without a trace. The second master's friend, it is better to say that he is a friend, but it is better to say that he is his nephew Qi Tianyi. And the friend of the friend, who should be the friend of the second son of Qi, committed an accident.
Thinking about it like this, it was the friend of the second prince of Qi who committed an accident, and he just suffered an unwarranted disaster, and the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish.
Thinking about the return of the second master, although he is a little tired, his spirit is good, and it should be fine.
After thinking about it repeatedly, her heart became brighter, and the corners of her lips also provoked a little smile, and she had the heart to joke with the little maids in the yard under self-comfort.
The autumn tiger in September is still strong.
Shi Jin followed Aunt Zhao to make some pastries in the afternoon, and slowly sweated on his body, and the broken hair on his forehead was also attached to his sideburns, which was very unpleasant.
Because of her contempt for Shi Jin before, Aunt Zhao saw that she had the blue eyes of the second master again, so she was extra careful in the process of teaching pastries.
Looking at Shi Jin's sweaty nose, she couldn't help but say attentively, "Miss Shi Jin is hot?" There's a boiled plum soup here, but do you want to use some? ”
Shi Jin is coarse and pharmacological, and naturally knows that the woman is inconvenient to get cold. However, the plum soup is red and relished, and it looks very cute. She put the plum soup aside, thinking that when the cold faded, she quietly took a sip, but it was okay.
In the afternoon, she made a few boxes of snacks with Aunt Zhao. There are glutinous round sesame balls, fried spring rolls, plum mille-feuille cake, and wine-stuffed cheese.
Although the shape is not as delicate as the dim sum shop outside, the taste is also good.
Gently stuffed a small ball into his mouth, the ball was hot and hot, Shi Jin hurriedly took a sip of the plum soup next to him, barely suppressed the slight pain on the tip of his tongue, but he was thinking about making some pastry molds in his heart, so the shape is reasonable.
Unconsciously, a bowl of plum soup entered the stomach, and Shi Jin left fifty copper coins for Aunt Zhao, and then walked out with the pastry box.
There is a fixed number of ingredients in the kitchen, except for three meals a day, other maids have to spend money to buy some snacks. Shi Jin is no exception, and he has more money than the outside price.
Where was Aunt Zhao willing to accept it, she only chased Shi Jin and asked her to take the money back. She was worried that she had nowhere to behave, but Shi Jin had a place to find her, and she felt more relieved.
Shi Jin smiled at her and said, "Auntie, take it, I have learned a lot from you today, and next time I borrow the stove, I will only pay for it." ”
Hearing her say this, Aunt Zhao no longer shirked, but only counted ten more money and stuffed it with her, "That girl also gave too much, you can take these." ”
Shi Jin was helpless, thanked her again, and then returned to the ear room with a snack.
She picked out the good-looking snacks, saved a plate, covered it with a half-circle of turquoise sarongs, and divided the rest into six.
Keep one for yourself, one for Shi Mo, two for Si Qi and Zhihua, and the remaining two for Cui'er and Bi'er, so that they can be divided among the rest of the maids on duty in the courtyard.
For a while, everyone had it, and their faces were full of joy.
"Why are you thinking about making snacks today?" Knowing that the painting was beneficial, he smiled with crooked eyes and asked her.
"I want to eat, but it's inconvenient to go out and buy it, so I can only do it myself." Shi Jin replied to her, and tasted a wine-stuffed cheese by the way.
In the past, the crisp cheese was made into soup and water, but she preferred to make a thumb-sized milk block and stuffed a piece into the mouth, and the aroma of wine was accompanied by the aroma of milk, which was very intoxicating.
Si Qi saw that it was getting late, and saw that the twilight was about to fall, so he mentioned his share of snacks and smiled with them, "It's getting late, I'll go back first, you just wait for the second master to come back." ”
Shi Jin and Zhihua hurriedly slapped off the dregs in their hands and got up together to send Si Qi.
When Si Qi was sent away, the two were about to turn around, when they heard Shi Mo shouting, "It's so fragrant!" Who eats puff pastry? ”
