Chapter 154
The talks in the Imperial Study room ended in a hurry with the emperor feeling ill.
When Chen Luo left the Forbidden Palace, it was around the afternoon and the hour of the afternoon, and it was a long time since he left the Xiaya.
He asked the official sedan chair to stop at the gate of Xizhi, looking at the bustling crowd, but from time to time, he looked back at his people curiously, and he didn't know where to go for a while. Until a woman holding a child walked past him with a medicine bag, looked up and found that it was Jimin Hall not far ahead. He moved his heart and said to Chen Yu who was accompanying him: "Let's go back to the eldest princess's mansion!"
Chen Yu responded in a panic.
Just now, their adults said they wanted to go to Liutiao Hutong to find his father if they had something to do, so why did they change their minds in a blink of an eye?
He muttered in his heart, but he would not try to make Chen Luo change his mind. He responded quickly and ordered the sedan chairman to get up.
Soon, they returned to the eldest princess's mansion.
Princess Baoqing is still in the palace, and the chief of the mansion is loyal to the guards, and everything in the family is in order.
He changed his clothes, took an arrow, went to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion and the canopy reached under the willow tree in the courtyard of the eldest princess's mansion, jumped onto the tree pole, and sat on the branch.
It was just before dinner, and the willow garden was quiet and there was no sound. Chen Luo looked at the colorful and colorful garden in the garden and smiled slightly.
It turns out that he is interested in his temperament. Wang Xi has a lively personality, and his clothes are beautiful in color. The flowers and furnishings in the garden are also bright in color, which makes people feel excited when they look at it.
He quietly watched the clouds in the sky slowly covered the west sky, and watched it fade away. Wang Xi's little maids were holding food boxes, serving her in an orderly manner and serving her for dinner. The cat she raised was rushing around in the grass, and she didn't know what it was thrusting. The little maid squatted there with a small bowl and "meowed" and called it, but it ignored it. It was still the big maid next to Wang Xi, who seemed to be called "fruit". She said something on the steps with her waist. The cat seemed to understand it, and she jumped out of nowhere? She pouted and whistled in a pleasing manner.
A bit like Wang Xi.
Very cute? Very naughty and very agile? Very good at looking at people's eyes? Seeing that you are not really angry, you will be more frustrated? You will definitely make yourself feel comfortable and happy first. If you are really angry? She will talk to you in a pleasing way again? Smiling at you sweetly...
Before he knew it, Chen Luo raised his mouth at some point and calmed down at Xiangye who was squatting on the bamboo mat on the steps and eating.
"Fragrant leaves, Fragrant leaves!" Wang Xi used dinner? I was going to the study room to find a few pieces of incense paper to write a few words? As a result, I found that the box with paper on the lattice of Duobao Pavilion was printed with a row of ink-colored plum blossom paw prints. She chased out of the study room and bent down to light Xiangye's head, "Why are you so naughty? I want to send you back to Shuzhong and let your mother discipline you well."
Xiangye was eating deliciously? Hearing the sound, he raised his head and shouted at Wang Xi twice unhappily, and then lowered his head to eat.
Wang Xi was so amused and crying. He said, "Why are you so obedient today? You know how to have a good meal? Isn't it apart from the study? What trouble did you cause?" As he said, he picked up Xiangye and hugged it in his arms like punishment. He said, "You little villain? One day you will be taken away by a dog."
A "puff" laughter came faintly.
Wang Xi was stunned and looked around.
Chen Luo's voice suddenly came from the willow tree next to him: "Can it understand if you talk to it like this?"
Wang Xi looked up and saw Chen Luo sitting on the canopy of the willow tree. If he didn't make a sound, they wouldn't have found that someone had entered the yard.
This is also a bit too dangerous.
Wang Xi was thinking about whether to raise the courtyard wall a little higher, and said absent-mindedly: "Why did you come here? Didn't I say, I want to find you, just hang a copper bell on the side of the willow tree? You can hang a copper bell, and I will go to find you when I see it."
Chen Luo looked at no one around, jumped out of the tree and said, "I just saw a Jihong porcelain bowl in front of me. There were white and green things floating on the soup inside. What kind of dish is that? I haven't had any meals yet, so let the chef in your kitchen make me that kind of dish!"
He looked confident, as if Wang Xi was the one who cares about his food.
Wang Xi was so angry that he thought that today was the day to enter the palace. When he looked at him again, he had no joy on his face and had time to squat in her yard. He guessed that there was probably nothing good, so he just let him go and didn't bother with him. He just turned around and told Ginkgo: "Go and tell the kitchen, Lord Chen has a light taste, and make some meals."
People in Shu are all addicted to spicy food, and they serve with meals and have a light taste. Most of them, they need to add some spicy flavor to the dishes in Beijing.
Ginkgo smiled and agreed, and soon brought the food box over and asked where to put the food.
Wang Xi asked Chen Luo: "Do you want some wine?"
Chen Luo shook his head, looked at the food box in the ginkgo hand in suspicion, and said, "It's not your leftovers so quickly, right?"
It was indeed what Wang Xi had left. But it was not what she had left. But early this morning she accompanied the third wife to see the furniture she made for Chang Ke. It was so hot that she had not recovered at night, so she ordered a few more sour dishes, and only the ones she had prepared were left.
Ginkgo is a little uncomfortable.
Wang Xi felt that he shouldn't be spoiled by Chen Luo and said, "Do you eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll appreciate ginkgo and the others?"
"Eat!" Chen Luo answered simply.
When he hid in the willow tree, he looked at her vegetable table from afar and shouted. At this time, the hall still had the fragrance of Wang Xi after dinner, which made Chen Luo, who had only drunk half a bowl of porridge in the morning, smelled it and was about to drain the water.
Wang Xi stopped saying anything, pointed to the stone bench under the grape trellis in the yard, and said to Baiguo, "Just put it there!" He also told her, "Didn't the third wife come here with wine a few days ago? Let the kitchen make a bowl of wine aquarium and osmanthus smoothie small rounds."
Ginkgo smiled and said that there was a little maid who went to the kitchen to pass the message, and she helped to serve the food.
Chen Luo saw that Wang Xi’s Jihonghai bowl contained a bowl of shrimp, green vegetables, fish balls and tofu soup. Ginkgo added him a portion of fried sea fish, a portion of fried donkey meat, a portion of Sixi meatballs, and two cold dishes, pickled sour cucumbers and pickled olive vegetables, and a portion of mixed grain rice.
He drank the soup and ate two bowls of rice in a row before stopping.
Just then, the wine-wine osmanthus small rounds also brought it up. He drank another bowl of sweet soup, rinsed his hands, and then said, "You started picking osmanthus so early? I saw that the osmanthus tree in your yard did not even have a bud."
Wang Xi gave him a blank look and said, "Of course it was sent by the big shopkeeper! The osmanthus flowers in Jiangnan are fragrant. It is said that there are very few high-quality fertile fields there, and some people specialize in planting osmanthus flowers for sale, and the taste is very good."
Chen Luo didn't understand these things and nodded.
Ginkgo served the osmanthus cake.
Their home is made with Cantonese Osmanthus cake, with golden osmanthus flowers in the crystal clear pastry, which is very beautiful.
Ginkgo also gave Chen Luo white tea.
Chen Luo tasted a piece of osmanthus cake, which was vigorous and elastic, with a faint osmanthus fragrance and a faint sweetness, which was exactly what he liked.
He glanced at Wang Xi.
When he was having dinner, Wang Xi had been playing with the cat. At this moment, he changed his clothes and wiped his hands and sat down beside him. Seeing him looking over, he elbowed and looked at him with a smile, saying, "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
That confident tone made Chen Luo feel a little amused and crying, and he couldn't help but say, "Is there something wrong with me coming to find you? I can't come to eat for you? I heard from Mrs. Jiang Chuan Bo Tai that you know how to eat, and the chef at home has taught me very well. On August 15th, she is still going to borrow a cook from you!"
Wang Xi has never heard of this.
She sat upright in surprise and said, "Don't she really want to borrow a cook from me, right?"
Chen Luo said: "Maybe I really want to borrow a cook from you. Concubine Jiang likes to eat snacks very much. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and everyone is going to give gifts."
"But I also want the chef to make fruit mooncakes for me!" Wang Xi frowned in embarrassment.
"Fruit mooncake? What kind of mooncake is it?" Chen Luo said.
"Oh!" Wang Xi said, "A few days ago, Guishunzhai and Jixiangzhai, Qiaojia Shop sent me mooncakes. I thought that all the styles of eating were all the same, so I thought that anyway, the fillings changed. Can you wrap the fruits like dumplings like fillings? But the fruits are too heavy and the taste changes as soon as they are baked. I made several stoves without success. I was discussing this with the kitchen people and borrowed the chef to her, so the mooncakes had to stop."
Since you want to borrow someone, you must have picked up the best person and sent it to you. If you try new dishes, you must be the best master.
Chen Luo smiled and said, "Then I will only give you snacks, not people."
"Let's take a look!" Wang Xi said in a low mood, "She treats me quite well. If she really speaks this, it will naturally be important for her. I won't be able to achieve next year this year, so I won't be in a hurry."
Chen Luo was very interested in her fruit mooncake and said, "If it doesn't work, I can lend you two cooks."
He is not a person who values the desire for verbal desire. The eldest princess directly used the imperial chef in the palace for anything. Although the banquet at the eldest princess's mansion is famous in the capital, he does not have any particularly famous chefs at home. However, since he had made this idea, he might as well buy a few or get a few chefs from other places to give to Wang Xi.
For example, the Jin family, their chef is good.
Since her mother's birthday that day, he and the Jin family have not been in contact for a long time.
In fact, the Jin family treats him very well.
When he was a child, he even dreamed that he was a child of the Jin family.
Chen Luo smiled and asked what kind of cook Wang Xi needed.
But Wang Xi was more concerned about his entry into the palace.
Chen Luo looked at Wang Xi's tense face and in an instant he didn't know what to say.
When he came, he was full of resentment, but at this moment, he was calm. The grievances and injustice that the palace suffered seemed to be in this meal, a plate of snacks passed away, making him unable to complain again.
