Chapter 679: Shortbread
Xiao Fuyuan and his family stayed in the palace until dusk before returning to their home in Qingyun Lane.
Before leaving the palace, the Queen Mother ordered Gonggong Hong to give Zhen a waist card to enter and leave the palace at any time, and told her to enter the palace whenever she wanted.
And Xiao Fuyuan and Da Lang Saburo will soon come to the palace to study with Ah Zhen.
When Mama Chang sent the Bai family out of the palace, she asked Zhen again to enter the palace often and bring Mrs. Bai with her.
Although the Queen Mother did not speak, Mama Chang understood the Queen Mother's thoughts very well, and the Queen Mother liked to chat with Mrs. Bai very much at this age.
The main reason is that Mrs. Bai speaks humorously and is full of local flavor, and there is not so much courtesy in the face of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother and Mrs. Bai are not tired of communicating.
Mrs. Bai was also very happy to come and chat with the Queen Mother, and she was excited to call the Queen Mother the "four girls" of the Zhen family.
In Mrs. Bai's opinion, although the Queen Mother sits on the whole world, she is not as happy as her life.
In the palace, if you want to be good to any grandson and which concubine you want to be close to, you have to weigh it, lest you take care of it.
Unlike her, she is an old feudal monarch in the Bai family, she can say whatever she wants, and she can get close to whoever she wants, even if she shows that she loves her little granddaughter the most, other family members still dare not have any opinions.
"Grandma, mother, just now Ah Zhentuo, my godfather is not on duty today, he is waiting in the house outside, I want to take the child with Sanzhuang to see him."
After coming home, Tian Maimiao told Mrs. Bai and Zhen that she wanted to go and see her godfather He Shun.
"Okay, you and Sanzhuang can take the child with you."
Zhen nodded, and told Tian Maimiao to bring the Tuyi specialty belt prepared in Shenshu Village.
"Madam, grandmother, Mother Chen, the housekeeper beside Mrs. Zhongjing Houfu, is here, and has sent gifts to the old lady, wife, young lady, young master, and grandmothers. Mrs. Hou said that the wives and grandmothers must be very busy when they first entered Beijing, and when they are free, she will post to invite Mrs. and Grandma to go to the Hou Mansion as a guest, and by the way, ask us what we still lack to send someone to their house to pick it up. ”
Zhu mother arranged for the little girl to have tea, and at the same time reported to Zhen and Xie Chuntao that Mrs. Zhongjing Houfu sent people to greet her.
"The Marquis of Zhongjing's Mansion gave us a gift, we have to return the gift, Chun Tao, you can watch it." Since Zhen decided to hand over all the affairs of the family to Xie Chuntao, she did not plan to interfere.
Let's talk about returning gifts like this, Xie Chuntao is more proficient.
"Mother, I want to go out for a walk."
On the way back from the palace, Xiao Fuyuan saw that the streets and alleys of the capital began to be lit up at dusk, and the hustle and bustle along the way was very lively.
She wanted to visit the night view of the capital.
Da Lang and San Lang also wanted to go shopping on the street, but they didn't dare to speak.
When I heard the idea that my little aunt wanted to go out, my eyes lit up.
The second sister-in-law, You Jingui, also felt that her sister-in-law was too caring, and she also wanted to go shopping.
On the way back from the palace, she was itching all the way, eager to jump out of the car and go shopping to clean up the shops and food stalls.
Just sitting in the carriage, you can feel the prosperity of the capital, which is incomparable to Huaicheng.
Besides, seeing the dress of the people in the capital on the street, the clothes on his body are outdated in terms of patterns and tailoring styles, and the matchmaker-like Zhen Jiqiu is more fashionable than the Bai family's daughters.
She wanted to take the opportunity to go out on the street to re-cut a few pieces of clothing and make a few pieces of jewelry.
"It's late tonight, let's go tomorrow during the day." Zhen said.
There are many people in the capital at night, and there are many flowers to photograph, so you can't take it lightly.
Xiao Fuyuan showed a disappointed expression on his face, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I want to see the night view of the capital." ”
At this time, Bai Panmei stood up and said, "Is my mother worried about my sister going out?" I'll take my sister out, and bring a few more families to the nursing home, and it won't be fine. ”
Without waiting for Zhen's consent, Xiao Fuyuan threw himself to Bai Panmei's side with a smile and said, "Fourth brother take me out." ”
Bai Panmei hugged Xiao Fuyuan.
Zhen smiled and shook his head.
I had to go with them.
"I'm going along." Bai Muban is not worried that his son will go out with his little girl alone, and he can only rest assured if he follows him.
Xiao Fuyuan's maid Honghua had already gone to the room to get a thick coat and waited for it, in case it was cold to Xiao Fuyuan at night.
Zhen expressed his satisfaction with the carefulness of the safflower.
"Sister Honghua rarely went out of the house before, and the slave maid always went out to buy paper and pens for the third prince before, and she was very familiar with the outside world, or the slave maid followed the young lady to serve." Green Leaf said.
Mother Zhu glanced at the green leaves and said quietly: "Honghua has been following Miss into the palace today, let's follow Honghua." Green leaves, you and Qingcao are preparing in the room, and Miss Hui is tired of shopping and needs someone to serve her when she goes home. ”
Green Leaf said and retreated stupidly!
"Cuicui, why don't you go shopping too?" Zhen said to Cuicui.
Cuicui smiled and said, "I won't go, I'll accompany my grandmother to turn the ground." ”
Old Lady Bai glanced at Cuicui approvingly.
"I want to go together. Today, I heard the Queen Mother say that my mother loves to eat Granny Yan's shortbread, so I will buy it for my mother to taste. Eugene Gui was eager to try.
Mrs. Bai is unhappy, and the second daughter-in-law likes to wander around.
What kind of place is the capital, she is afraid that the second daughter-in-law will go out and cause trouble.
Zhen felt that it was normal for her daughter-in-law to go out for a walk, if it weren't for Xie Chuntao, who had just arrived in the capital and was busy taking care of her house, she would even want Xie Chuntao to go shopping with her.
"Mother, let Jin Gui go."
Since Zhen spoke, Mrs. Bai agreed, and told Eugene Gui not only to go shopping by himself, but also to watch Xiao Fuyuan at all times.
Eugene Gui patted his chest and agreed.
"It doesn't matter if the shortbread is not shortbread, you go and buy some pastries for your grandma that can restrain the movement, and then you go to the Liuli Pavilion near here to let their guys Ji Ming'er come to the door empty, and give your sister-in-law a few sets of jewelry." Zhen told Eugene Gui one by one.
As the saying goes, respect Luo Shang first and then respect people.
When you come to the capital, you can't be as casual as Shenshu Village, and in the future, several daughters-in-law of your own family will have to socialize in the capital, and you must have a few sets of fashionable jewelry that can suppress the scene.
As soon as Eugene Gui heard her mother-in-law say that she wanted to make jewelry for herself, her eyes lit up, and she took the maid and Gu Sui to follow her sister-in-law.
"Where does my sister want to go?" Bai Panmei asked Xiao Fuyuan's opinion.
"I want to go to places with more snacks and beautiful lights." Xiao Fuyuan said on Bai Panmei's shoulder.
"Okay, let's go to Sweetwater Lane, where there are lights and food stalls, especially at night." Bai Panmei said.
Sweet Water Lane is separated from Qingyun Lane by an alley, and it doesn't take a few steps to get there.
This street, sure enough, is full of people and brilliant lights.
Xiao Fuyuan smelled a burst of fragrance, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Granny Yan's shortbread shop.
There was a long queue at the shortbread shop, and it seems that this shortbread really lives up to its name.
If it wasn't delicious, it wouldn't have been open for so many years, and it wouldn't keep Zhen thinking about it.
Xiao Fuyuan said that he wanted to try it.
"Let's buy some shortbread and try it, and bring some for your mother." Bai Muban said with a smile.
Since the girl wants to eat and her daughter-in-law loves to eat, no matter how long the line is, she has to line up.
"Slave maid come and line up, young master, you take the young lady to go elsewhere first." Honghua was afraid that there were too many people and squeezed into Xiao Fuyuan, so she suggested that she should line up, and Bai Panmei and others took Xiao Fuyuan to go shopping elsewhere.
"Okay, my sister and I are waiting at the wonton stall over there." Bai Panmei said.
So Bai Panmei, Bai Muban and others took Xiao Fuyuan to the wonton stall.
There were too many people in Granny Yan's shortbread shop, and after a while, Honghua came back empty-handed, indicating that the shortbread was sold out today.
Xiao Fuyuan was disappointed for a while.
"Miss, I'll line up for you early tomorrow morning." Honghua said softly.
At this time, a person who looked like a family man came over, carried a bag of shortbread in his hand and handed it to Bai Panmei and said, "Lord Bai, this is a gift from the princess of my family." ”
