Chapter 88: Assimilation
"Aunt Cheng, didn't you say that you would introduce the princess to the big guy, and let the princess come to our side? We can't wait." Jiang Niannian walked over from the courtyard on the other side and said to the prime minister's wife.
In order to make the young people have more fun, the ladies and ladies do not stay in the same courtyard.
Jiang Niannian had been waiting for Sheng Qingyuan to come, but she couldn't wait for her for a long time, so she could only come over and urge.
The Prime Minister's wife smiled faintly and said to Sheng Qingyuan: "Princess, we are all relatively old, I am afraid that if the princess stays with us all the time, the princess will feel bored, why don't you go there to play first, and when you can eat, the courtiers will send someone to call the princess?"
Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly and nodded, "Okay."
The prime minister's wife told Jiang Niannian: "Niannian, you have to pay attention to proportion."
Jiang Niannian wanted Sheng Qingyuan to play with them so actively, she could more or less guess her thoughts.
It's just that the princess's appearance just now was unexpected by all of them.
After Sheng Qingyuan left, the noble ladies here breathed a sigh of relief.
"This princess Jing is much more powerful than we imagined."
"Isn't it, I was terrified when she came over just now, for fear she would say something she shouldn't have said?"
"Oh? Looks like you have a secret."
"Go, go, who doesn't have a little secret of their own? It's just that...... Princess Jing knows too much, right?"
"Maybe it just so happens that everyone has checked a little, and most of what she says is not a secret."
The Prime Minister's wife looked at her and said, "Can you remember so many things about people you haven't met before at once?"
The lady was stunned when she heard this.
"Perhaps, maybe a lot of time is fine."
"So, you have to guess how many days in advance of today's banquet, and you have to guess who will come here, and then write down their situation one by one." The Prime Minister's wife said meaningfully.
Many of the noble ladies present were not fools, and after listening to the words of the prime minister's wife, they also understood something in their hearts.
Not to mention that some of the things that Sheng Qingyuan just said are not known, even if everything she said is known to the big guys, but if she writes them all down and says them all so calmly here, at least it also shows that she is definitely not an ordinary country woman.
Not to be underestimated.
Jiang Niannian didn't know what was going on here, and they were all ready to look forward to the princess's ugly appearance.
"I thought the princess didn't bother to come to us, so she won't come." A woman in a yellow dress said loudly.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at her and said with a faint smile, "I accidentally said a few more words, so I stayed a little longer."
"I heard that the princess was born in an ordinary small mountain village, and we have never seen such a place since we were children in the capital, but we are a little curious, so the princess might as well tell us what is special about that kind of small mountain village."
"Yes, although the capital is good, but we have all watched it for so many years, maybe it will be interesting to listen to that kind of remote mountain village."
Sheng Qingyuan looked at these people with obvious disdain for the joke, but he didn't have any anger: "Okay."
Jiang Niannian raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
She didn't really plan to talk about her little mountain village, did she?
Sheng Qingyuan said unhurriedly, "The place I stayed in before is called Zhushan Village, and as the name suggests, the nearby mountains are covered with a lot of bamboo, and in the spring, you can dig up many young bamboo shoots that can be used to make vegetables."
"What are bamboo shoots? Can you also use it for cooking?"
"Of course, the bamboo shoots have a crisp texture, and there are many ways to do it, such as making bamboo shoots ......."
Sheng Qingyuan began to talk about the practice of bamboo shoots as he spoke.
Her description is very detailed, and the sound is colorful, making people sound as if a bamboo shoot has appeared in front of them, and many people present can't help but swallow their saliva.
"I heard that in the Tianxiang Building that was opened some time ago, there seems to be a bamboo shoot seller in his house, but I don't know if it's the same as what the princess said?"
Sheng Qingyuan said with a smile: "The sour bamboo shoots I made, the first one was sold to Tianxianglou, Tianxianglou has a delivery service, if you want to taste it, send someone to Tianxianglou to order food and send it here."
Everyone looked at each other.
I have to say that when I listened to Sheng Qingyuan just now, the gluttonous worms in their stomachs were hooked, but thinking that they were originally here to mock her, they couldn't pull their faces all of a sudden.
Jiang Niannian said, "Is it really that delicious?"
Sheng Qingyuan said: "Whether it is delicious or not varies from person to person, and it is impossible for everyone to be satisfied, so whether it is delicious or not, I don't care, if you dare to be interested, you can just order some to taste."
Jiang Niannian said, "Since you recommend it so highly, then, let's give it a try."
As he spoke, Jiang Niannian called the little servant and went to Tianxianglou to order some dishes made of bamboo shoots.
While waiting for the dishes from Tianxianglou to be delivered, Jiang Niannian said again, "Except for the delicious food, there is nothing else? There's nothing special about it."
"In addition to being made into food, the bamboo near Zhushan Village is of very good quality, and it is very suitable for making all kinds of furniture, as well as bamboo carving." Sheng Qingyuan said...
Then he said, "In Zhushan Village, there are many craftsmen, don't look at their ordinary backgrounds, but they have a pair of skillful hands."
Sheng Qingyuan glanced around, and saw that the fruit basket used to hold fruits in the pavilion turned out to be the product of Zhuxinfang, so he got up and walked there.
Everyone followed her to the past, and Sheng Qingyuan said, "This is made by the people of our Zhushan Village."
The first reaction of the crowd was disbelief.
Jiang Niannian said, "How is this possible? This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the things used in the Prime Minister's Mansion are excellent, how can you make such good things in such a remote mountain village?"
Sheng Qingyuan said, "This is indeed true, if you don't believe it, you can take down these fruits, and then look at the bottom, there is the word "Zhuxinfang" engraved on it."
Jiang Niannian was bold and had a good relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he took out all the fruits in the basket, flipped the fruit basket over, and sure enough, he saw the relevant words of Zhuxinfang.
Sheng Qingyuan continued, "Everyone has their own strengths, regardless of their background, they have more access to bamboo, and naturally there will be more opportunities to learn about this craft, practice makes perfect."
Sheng Qingyuan looked at a woman in red not far away and said, "Another example is Miss Gu, Miss Gu's father is a general, and her mother is also a general, so Miss Gu is much better than most of the noble girls in the capital."
Then he looked at the woman in blue next to her: "Another example is Miss Qin, her maternal ancestor is in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and Miss Qin lived in her grandfather's house for a long time when she was a child, so she is particularly sensitive to these fragrances, and therefore, she has a lot of experience in blending fragrances."
In the end, he said, "Or Miss Shu, to put it mildly, Miss Shu's grandfather was once just an ordinary scholar, but Miss Shu's grandfather loved learning, constantly studied various classics, and was very good at thinking, and eventually became a generation of great Confucians."
The nobles who were mentioned looked at her in a daze when they heard Sheng Qingyuan say it in such detail.
Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly, put his eyes back on the fruit basket in front of him, and said: "The masters who make bamboo carvings, they don't have a good background, and they don't know poetry and books, but they have their own ideas about the production of bamboo carvings.
The crowd listened to her words and fell silent.
Jiang Niannian looked at her in surprise, and after being quiet for a while, she said, "The princess said this because you yourself are also from a poor background, so you want to mention the identity of someone from the same background as you, right?"
Sheng Qingyuan looked at Jiang Niannian and said, "It's not that I don't mention my identity, I'm just stating the facts. Farther afield, to put it mildly, do you still remember where Taizu came from?"
numerous
The people were dumbfounded.
Taizu ......
Taizu was a fish seller from the beginning............
"Calm down and learn to see the shining point in everyone, and you will feel that this world will be much better." Sheng Qingyuan said to them with a light smile.
Sheng Qingyuan said: "Moreover, in fact, if you imagine that a bamboo that originally seemed ordinary to become such a delicate bamboo carving, this process is also a very interesting thing."
Jiang Niannian thought about it, called a small servant, and gave an order, and after a while, the little servant came with a few bamboos.
Jiang Niannian said, "Since the princess said that this bamboo becomes a bamboo carving is a very interesting process, it is better for the princess to teach us."
Everyone has the mentality of watching a good show, and it depends on how Sheng Qingyuan will respond.
"Okay, it's just that I can only do some simple ones, and I won't be able to do difficult ones, but if you want to make bamboo carvings, you need some tools." Sheng Qingyuan said.
"What do you need?" Jiang Niannian asked.
Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly, "Xuanyu."
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Yu appeared in front of Sheng Qingyuan.
The sudden appearance surprised many people present.
Sheng Qingyuan said, "You go to the bamboo heart workshop and get some tools for making bamboo carving, just to make a little basic."
"Yes."
Xuanyu should fall, and after about a cup of tea, Xuanyu will come back.
Crowd: "???"
Can he fly?
Although the location of Zhuxinfang is not particularly far from the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is definitely not close.
If they take a sedan chair to Zhuxinfang, it will take at least two or three teas.
After Xuanyu put down his tools, he disappeared again.
The noble girl who had a secret guard at home looked at Xuan Yu's elusive body, and she roughly understood something in her heart, and her expression changed when she looked at Sheng Qingyuan again.
The secret guards in their house are not so powerful.
"Why did the princess let people take so many tools?" Jiang Niannian asked.
Sheng Qingyuan said: "Since it is taught, of course, it is easier to learn it by doing it together, otherwise the eyes will learn, and the hands are afraid that they will not be able to keep up, since Miss Jiang is so active just now, why don't you try it too."
Jiang Niannian: "............"
Where did she want to learn just now, she obviously just wanted to see her make a fool of herself, but when she said it, she couldn't deny it, so she could only reluctantly take the tool.
A few noble ladies sitting next to them inevitably took a tool and a piece of bamboo, and followed Sheng Qingyuan to make bamboo carvings......
Sheng Qingyuan taught very carefully, and the noble girl who was originally reluctant to learn looked at the bamboo carvings that gradually took shape in her hands, and became more and more active, and she couldn't even wait to ask what to do next.
The other ladies were also eager to try.
When the prime minister's wife arrived, they saw that their daughters, who were usually afraid of hurting their hands when they did something, were all holding bamboo carvings at this time???
