Concubine Wu intended to raise Zhen Ying, and she was like a duck, and explained the origins of the young ladies tomorrow clearly.

Zhen Ying thanked her for her kindness, although she felt bored, she never shirked, and for fear of forgetting, she took out the gold stickers that had just arrived today, and silently wrote down the preferences of those people and simple family relationships, who was in the clan, and what relatives there were.

She is so serious, but Concubine Wu feels very distressed: "If Mao'er is half as studious as his sister, my heart can also be put down." ”

Zhen Ying felt a little strange, she had heard of this brother on the road, but she had never seen anyone for a day, although she was worried in her heart, she was afraid of touching the taboo and refused to ask.

The concubine is used to seeing wind and rain in the palace, how can she not know that she has something in her heart? But he didn't think of it for a while, so he asked someone to bring the snacks prepared earlier in the kitchen, and he wanted to feed them with one hand, and was teased by Jiang Che again.

"I'm afraid your granddaughter is still alive, so my mother will let her go for the time being and teach her to pick up what she likes to eat."

The concubine reluctantly let go of Zhen Ying, asked someone to put the snacks at hand, and used a small lamp holder against the plate for fear of coldness: "Listen to those maids, you like sweet and soft pastries, I expected your taste to be like mine, and I also prepared some of the others, so I just got the news, and the small kitchen stepped up to make it, but let's see, is it appetizing?" ”

Zhen Ying looked at it at a glance and saw two blue and white plates, one with various colored flower cakes stacked on top of each other, and the other crowded with more than a dozen buns.

For example, a small chive mutton bun, one bite in size, it is difficult for the chef to carve a flower with a green onion pole and put it in the folds of the bun, which is fine and beautiful.

Or the flower cake next to it, the lower head is a light-colored cake body, and the upper head is a colorful relief, and the carved roses of the rose bean paste filling and the osmanthus sugar filling are printed with osmanthus flowers.

In addition to the large blue and white plates, there are six small plates, with honey apples, ginger and dried plums, fragrant grapes, frosted peach strips, pickled pears, and crispy bananas.

Then I was afraid that I would eat food at night, so I took two small dishes of hawthorn balls, but it was the hawthorn that went to the core, mashed it into mud and rubbed it into strips, cut it into sections, rubbed it round, and sticked a thin layer of sugar like a cicada's wing, passed it with hot oil, and sent it with two strings of silver skewers.

The three grandparents ate snacks and gossiped, Zhen Ying was curious, but she didn't know how to ask. But Jiang Che was happy for a long time, and finally remembered that he had a cheap son.

"Mother, why don't you see Mao'er?"

Several maids close to the concubine glanced at each other, and they all covered the handkerchief and couldn't help laughing, it was the concubine herself, who had just eaten a hawthorn ball, and had not chewed it, and immediately choked in her throat, only smiled and lit a few lanterns with a handkerchief, but she was speechless for a while.

The two big girls stepped forward to pat their backs, but the grandmother who served close to the concubine was blessed, and stepped forward to explain: "Does the prince know whose effort is this courtyard full of lanterns?" ”

"Isn't it the craftsman who is supported by the house?" Jiang Che pretended not to know.

The grandmother smiled: "The serious master is not here, which craftsman is so careful?" But it was Zhang Luo before the prince's holiday, and he was tired for several days, and a few glass lamps on the corridor came from the palace. Along the way, he sent someone to escort him carefully, and it was easy to leave the house, and he went to hang it in person, but the concubine was just a child who was greedy for fun, and did not stop him. ”

"But I never thought that the frost fell the day and night, and the tide was reversed in the morning, although there were little servants who wiped the verandah once in the morning and evening, but it was still slippery at noon, and he didn't pay attention to it, and he fell. I'm still lying in my room. ”

There is a little guy who knows how to look at it, so he took a glass-colored Western lamp under the corridor and placed it on the table, and Princess Wu raised her chin: "That's it, what kind of treasure should I be, I still protect myself if I fall." It's a thing that doesn't know what to do, and it doesn't have an oil cup or a candle, so it has to be an ornament. ”

Jiang Che saw the lamp, but he had seen it, so he simply took it, fiddled with it, and clicked it, and then let people hand it over to Zhen Ying: "Don't say him, the prince is from the palace, and the concubine's mother's family is also powerful, so I know that this is a good thing." This is a fresh thing made in Quanzhou according to Western methods, not to mention the entire Central Plains, even if you look at the world, there may not be a second one. It turned out that the craftsmen of Quanzhou learned the pattern of the window glass burning of their foreign temple, and tossed for half a year, and it was easy to become such a one, which is really rare and exquisite. Don't say it's us, even if you look at the world, that's all. It was originally the governor of Quanzhou who paid filial piety to the emperor on the Wanshou Festival, and the emperor sent it to Cining Palace for two years. On her mother's birthday last year, the Queen Mother sent someone to send it again. ”

"My sister sent it? How could I not be impressed? ”

Jiang Che looked helpless: "You only remember to read the family letter, but you didn't pay attention to the gift list, and let such a good thing eat ashes in the warehouse for half a year." This made the concubine blush, the good things in the palace are like mountains and silver, she has always been a lazy and lazy character, and she has the heart to sharpen a few big girls in the house, in order to let Ying'er use it, she has been the shopkeeper for half a year.

But it was a big girl beside the concubine who didn't follow: "We are confined in the courtyard, after all, we lack vision, so we don't know gold and jade." When the girl is in charge of the house the next day, and the house election is also opened, we sisters will be able to hide and relax. ”

"Xiwu, this girl, is used to being lazy, you are here with me, have you ever been tired? It's just the work of some housekeepers, and when you let it out to marry someone in the future, you will always have to get started. Only then did he remember: "Now that they are coming back, you are making trouble." ”

When the trouble came the day before, everyone was relieved.
