Chapter 123
Even she, the emperor's little wife, has often been angry with the women in Changle Palace since she entered the palace, and the emperor didn't give her any money.
Now that he is a slave under Du Zhiyan, he has a nest fee.
Shi Jing felt that she wanted to deliver takeaways.
Delivering food is better than being the emperor's little wife.
Of course, Shi Jing can't go to deliver food.
In the end, you have to consider the dignity of the emperor.
Anyway, she is also a woman in the emperor's harem, and the rules and etiquette should not be messed up.
Shi Jing pouted.
Hehe, the emperor's woman.
In addition to the pocket fee, Du Zhiyan also gave an insurance premium.
Although you can't pay five insurances and one housing fund, providing people with an insurance premium can make everyone feel more at ease.
The so-called insurance premium means one more layer of protection.
Walking in the palace, especially to deliver food from one palace to another, is easy to say, but there are certain risks.
There are dozens or hundreds of palaces here, regardless of the corner door corridor, the steps are high, it is said that the summer is hot, easy to heat stroke, the winter is cold, the long corridor is paved with bluestone slabs, it is very slippery, I heard that a few days ago, a slave of the Ministry of Affairs slipped when she was sweeping, and she just dropped the two front teeth.
Takeaway wants to be delivered early, pay attention to a timeliness, in short, fast.
If you fall or get hurt, you need to heal. As a master, you should anticipate these things in advance rather than sit idly by.
After all, I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.
These should be precautions.
Du only said that once he was injured when delivering takeaways, fell or touched, etc., he just came back to rest, and the money for seeing a doctor and taking medicine came out of her account, in addition to these free, there are subsidies for daily food, although he didn't earn much when he delivered takeaways, but it was also a lot of money, at least he wouldn't be overstretched because he couldn't do work while lying down.
With this layer, it is more reassuring for people to go to deliver food.
rushed to make the menu overnight, and formulated the rules and benefits of takeaway delivery, Du only went to rest.
The little eunuchs who received the task couldn't sleep in the middle of the night with excitement, and they couldn't wait for the day to light up and get up to do things.
Only Shi Jing sighed, alas, he knew that he was running for a delivery boy when he entered the palace, and he was the emperor's little wife, guarding the internal affairs office to receive that little bit of monthly silver, and it was better to be a delivery man in the Yongfu Palace.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the little eunuchs set off with their menus.
The first stop was Cining Palace.
This is Du Zhiyan's special explanation, to respect the elderly.
The Queen Mother was still grooming, and when she saw that the little eunuch respectfully held the menu, she was so happy that the Queen Mother's white hair was missing two strands: "The mourning family knows that this Du Chang is active in his mind, you see, now there are takeaways, there is no need for people in our palace to pick them up, these little eunuchs' hands and feet are the most sharp, and they have been conditioned by her, so they can rest assured." ”
The Queen Mother gently flipped the menu, and saw that there was a yam with an iron rod on it, so she wanted to eat it a little: "You go back and say, the mourning family wants to eat this dish, but the mourning family still has to chant the scriptures, you send this yam in half an hour, don't send it early." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother."
The order was successful, the little eunuch took the menu, and quickly went to the next palace, along the line, all the way to the direction of the Yongfu Palace, went back to hand in the order, and the food was prepared in the Yongfu Palace, and it was delivered one by one along the nearest route.
Changle Palace.
Meng Yuzhu sat lazily in front of the bronze mirror, and Tian Lingyue waited for her makeup.
Tian Lingyue vomited for the past few days, her complexion was very bad, standing behind Meng Yuzhu, looking older than Meng Yuzhu.
"Who sucked your yang energy and couldn't do it, and you were sick. No wonder the emperor refused to come to us. Meng Yuzhu was a little disgusted, so she combed her hair, wiped the osmanthus oil, inserted two golden hairpins in her hair, and picked a pair of topaz earrings inlaid with gold beads to wear.
The meals are all in a fixed pattern, and the small kitchen of Changle Palace has been eating these dishes for many years, maybe she is a little tired of eating, Meng Yuzhu has no appetite, but leans there and fiddles with her pair of red gold armor.
Tian Lingyue saw that Meng Yuzhu didn't move her chopsticks, and she didn't dare to move.
There was a moment of silence.
The light was not good on this day, and the dark red plate showed a dark light, like Meng Yuzhu's lip gloss.
The Zhu Gate opened lightly, and the eunuchs of the Yongfu Hall arrived.
The little eunuch bowed down and raised the menu above his head.
Tian Lingyue took the menu, read it carefully, and threw the menu back to the little eunuch, her words were full of ridicule: "That's all for these dishes?" I thought there would be something delicious about delivering takeaways, even the food in Changle Palace was not as good, this steamed acacia flower, my mother steamed it for me when I was eight years old, and I was tired of eating it for a long time. ”
Meng Yuzhu's face became even more ugly: "Don't keep mentioning your mother, isn't your mother already dead?" ”
Tian Lingyue's face turned red, and she hurriedly held the menu and handed it to Meng Yuzhu.
was careless for a while, and actually looked at the menu before Meng Yuzhu and expressed his opinion.
Obviously, Meng Yuzhu is quite concerned about this, after all, this Changle Palace, she still has the final say.
Meng Yuzhu flipped through the menu, of course, it means that she didn't flip it, after all, she is an artist, she can dance two dances casually, but her level of literacy is not good. There were a few bold black words on the menu, and she didn't recognize them together.
I barely watched it for a while, and I didn't want others to see the clues, so I had to order a random dish and said, "Just let it be." ”
It turned out to be milk-steamed pumpkin.
Steamed pumpkin is soft and sweet, making it a delicious snack.
That's right.
But Meng Yuzhu has her own requirements: "Within half a pillar of incense, send it to Changle Palace, and later, I'll give you two mouths." ”
The little eunuch was beaten.
Not only the name of the dish is written on the menu, but also the approximate delivery time of which dish will be delivered.
Although this milk-steamed pumpkin is not cumbersome, in order to maintain a good taste, the meals are made after ordering, and the half-column incense is really impossible to make after counting the time on the road back and forth.
The little eunuch had a difficult face, pointed to a line of small characters behind the menu and said: "Back to the concubine Niangniang, the milk-steamed pumpkin will take half an hour to deliver." The slave ran faster on the road, and the time for half a pillar of incense was not enough, so I asked the mother for forgiveness. ”
"You don't want to send it to Hongu? Or does your master mean it? ”
"The minions don't dare."
"This palace sees that you dare very much." Meng Yuzhu directly slapped the little eunuch and slapped the little eunuch's face red: "Go back and tell your master, when the half pillar of incense is timed, the buttered pumpkin can't be delivered, she doesn't want to do this takeaway business, it is obvious that she is despising the palace." ”
The little eunuch withdrew with a red face.
It's over, and the first business has earned a nest fee.
Tian Lingyue saw that Meng Yuzhu was angry, and she didn't dare to say anything, but just obediently added food to Meng Yuzhu and served Meng Yuzhu vegetables.
Meng Yuzhu's face softened: "This palace measures Du Weiyan and doesn't dare to treat this palace slowly, the steamed pumpkin ordered by this palace, let her send half a pillar of incense, she must send it, otherwise this palace will naturally not spare her." Even this simple dish can't be cooked, and the small kitchen of Eifukuden doesn't have to do it. ”
Tian Lingyue accompanied the smiling face and said cautiously: "Why did Niangniang order the dishes of the Yongfu Palace, but let her earn money." ”
"Or are you too young, don't you know that there is a sentence in the play, which is called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, and I don't know what kind of name she is doing in the Yongfu Palace, how to clean her up?"
"Don't you think Niangniang doesn't dare to joke with her body."
"Where do you want to go, this palace is delicate, how could you frame her with your own body." Meng Yuzhu stroked her red gold armor and smiled: "She asks people to deliver takeaways, there will always be mistakes, as long as this palace catches the mistakes, she can't be cured?" At the end of the day, she is a money-hungry woman. ”
Tian Lingyue agreed.
Du only said that he was greedy for money enough, it was not enough to sell small toys in the palace, but also started a takeaway business, Chen Guo was founded a hundred years ago, when did he ever have such an outrageous concubine, if he was not poor and crazy, he would never have been able to do such a thing.
"Back then, my family was poor, and I heard my mother say that my father had just become an official, and the family needed money at the time, my mother got up early and was greedy to do needlework, and she was not like Du Changzai, seeing the stitches and needles, good concubines didn't do it, but they did these things, and the servants mentioned it, and they had to laugh at the fact that there were no rules in the harem."
Tian Lingyue said, and gave Meng Yuzhu vegetables again.
Gyeongin Palace.
The queen was sleepy and didn't get up, it was cold in winter, and the queen couldn't stand the cold, so the activities that could be pushed were pushed, and those that couldn't be pushed were postponed.
Gui Yuan was afraid that someone would quarrel with the queen, so he stood at the gate of the palace and guarded, and happened to meet the little eunuch of the Yongfu Hall who presented the menu, Gui Yuan looked at it carefully, and ordered a small oil roll of milk cabbage for the queen, the queen was still chattering last night, and wanted to eat the oil roll, but I didn't expect the Yongfu Palace to come out of the menu so soon. This small oil roll with milk cabbage is sure to suit the queen's appetite.
Early in the morning, the little eunuchs ran along the long road, sweating all the way.
According to the calculated route, the little eunuch ran around, successfully sold the meal, sent the ordered menu back to the Yongfu Palace, and when the Yongfu Hall was ready, he sent it to the masters along the fixed route, the time was just right, and there might be left.
Nijo was beaten from the Eternal Blessing Hall, and five red finger prints appeared on his face.
Thinking of Erjo's cleverness and running fast, Changle Palace has always been difficult to serve, Erjo volunteered to go to Changle Palace, who would have thought that Meng Yuzhu would reward him with a mouth early in the morning, Erjo was aggrieved and sad, but he didn't delay his work.
According to the route, it is time to go to Taihe Palace.
The emperor has already returned from the dynasty and is changing clothes in the Taihe Palace.
Gao Rang knelt down to untie the jade belt around his waist and hang it on a Nanmu carved hanger, and untied the emperor's collared clothes and put on a water-blue silver trimmed wide-sleeved robe.
Take off the gold crown and replace it with a silver crown, and the emperor in the bronze mirror is tall and extraordinary.
There was a shadow under the window.
The emperor only glanced at it, and then asked Gao Rang: "Isn't that Erjo?" ”
Gao Rang hurriedly went and called Nijo to enter the hall.
Nijo entered the temple, but he only knelt and did not dare to look up.
The emperor also laughed at him: "What's the matter?" Why is it like your master, and you don't dare to raise your head, for fear that I will eat people? ”
Nijo bowed down and presented the menu, and said respectfully: "This is the menu that Du Chang rushed out overnight, and please ask the emperor to take a look, today is the first day of food delivery, if the emperor has anything to eat, just open his mouth, the servants will definitely send it as soon as possible to prevent the emperor from waiting." ”
Is this food delivery?
It's so fresh.
This palace is all owned by the emperor, but the emperor ordered takeout.
The emperor always felt that something was wrong, but the two served properly, and he couldn't seem to find fault with it.
Then take a look at the menu, before the menu is finished, I heard Gao Rang say: "Erjo, what is your face?" ”
Nijo buried his face even lower.
"Raise your head." The emperor put down the menu.
Nijo had to lift his head.
The red half of the face, five finger prints are clearly recognizable.
"Who hit it?" The emperor withdrew his smile.
The royal family of Chen has always been tolerant, and no one can punish minions for no reason.
As far as the emperor knows, Erjo is the big eunuch next to Du Zhiyan, and he also knows the rules when he thinks about it, and he will not lose his dignity, and he was slapped so hard early in the morning, he can't help but ask.
The two are divided.
Gao Rang is the head of the eunuchs, and the little eunuch in the palace was beaten, and he, the head of the eunuchs, was also gloomy, and he was even more sympathetic: "The emperor asked you, who beat you, just tell the truth, and the emperor will be the master for you." ”
Erjo had to tell the matter of Changle Palace in 1510.
Gao Rang frowned when he heard this.
The emperor was obviously a little displeased, and immediately held the teacup and said, "The concubine is looking for fault." ”
The concubine ran faster than Cao Cao.
The emperor only said this, and Meng Yuzhu had already pounced on the Taihe Palace.
The two golden hairpins can poke the emperor to death, and the red lipstick is like eating a child.
The emperor couldn't help but move back, wanting to stay away from Meng Yuzhu.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yuzhu plunged into the emperor's arms, and rubbed the emperor's neck with a mouthful of grease: "The emperor wants to be the master of his concubines, and Du Chang bullies people in her."
The emperor remained silent.
Meng Yuzhu took out a handkerchief to pretend to wipe her tears, leaned on the emperor's shoulder aggrievedly, sucked the avocado fragrance on the emperor's body, and sobbed: "The concubine heard that the Yongfu Palace began to deliver takeaways, although the concubine and Du Changzai are not very harmonious, but the concubine is a noble concubine, she is always there, and the concubine has no reason to worry about her, even if she is inappropriate, the concubines are all big and small, and the prime minister can support the boat in his belly." ”
"Let's talk about it." The emperor is sitting in danger.
Meng Yuzhu obviously felt the emperor's coldness, and wiped her tears a little sneeringly: "I heard that Yongfu Hall has started to deliver takeaways, and the concubine also specially ordered a dish to support Du Changzai's business, but she didn't want her to confess to the slave, deliberately lost the face of the concubine, saying that the steamed pumpkin couldn't be steamed, and let a little eunuch speak against the concubine, and the concubine was against the emperor, and the concubine rewarded him with a slap for the emperor, so that he could have a long memory." ”
"Can the concubine represent me?" The emperor asked.
This question is asked word by word, without a trace of emotion.
Meng Yuzhu decisively felt the emperor's pressure, and did not dare to rub the emperor's neck again, but carried the hem of her skirt to the ground, knelt low and said: "The concubine lost her words for a while, and the concubine just couldn't get used to the unruly minions of the Yongfu Palace, so she wanted to teach him a lesson." ”
"Doesn't he have a master?"
"Yes"
"Since you know that he has a master, why did the concubine do it?"
"This" Meng Yuzhu's face turned red and white, in the past, she was coquettish with the emperor, and anything could pass, but now for a eunuch, the emperor actually lost her face in public?
She knows very well that now she is not as fortunate as Du Zhiyan.
It's better to forget Du Zhiyan, is her favor not as good as the eunuch next to Du Zhiyan?
What is the reasoning of this.
Anyway, she is the emperor's concubine.
Is the gold content of the concubine so low?
Look at the eunuch kneeling in the Taihe Palace, who made the emperor feel distressed, and asked Gao Rang to take the ointment, and asked Gao Rang to give him medicine in person.
Where is this distressed eunuch, it is clearly distressed Du Zhiyan in disguise.
