Yipin Tianxia

Pingguo government office.

Hearing that a well-planned show was easily resolved by that girl again, Mrs. Tan was obviously very angry.

Mother Lu excused herself and said, "I can't really blame the servant for not doing his best, but that sister is too cunning. The couple surnamed Tian couldn't work together, so she took advantage of the loophole. Fortunately, the servant used it when she saw her. It's a pseudonym, and she can't get us involved."

Mrs. Tan was still very annoyed when she heard it, "I have already boasted in front of the Queen Mother, if nothing can be done, wouldn't it make the Queen Mother angry?"

Then Mama Lu can't do anything, she can't rush to people and help beat them up, can she?

When the master and servant were at their wits end, they suddenly heard that Princess Changguo was visiting.Mrs. Tan hurriedly got up and went out to meet her in person.

Gao Xiuru was very polite, "Little aunt is an elder, how can I bother you to welcome her? These are some special products we brought from the southwest, please don't dislike them."

Mrs. Tan was very satisfied with the small but delicate gifts.

Mu Shaoqin is not at home right now, although the manager is controlling the warehouse to keep her from moving around, but she is the hostess of the duke's mansion after all, and these gifts were delivered to her, so Mrs. Tan made a wink and let her go. Lu's mother quickly collected it, and went into her small warehouse first to feel at ease.

Then I wanted to gossip with Gao Xiuru, and it was close, but although Gao Xiuru is a young woman, she has served in the army for decades, and the boudoir atmosphere on her body is very light, and she feels a headache after talking about rouge and pollen. Get up and say goodbye.

"The son-in-law is recuperating right now, and his appetite is not very good. I have to go back to get his food, so I won't stay here for a long time with my little aunt."

Mrs. Tan was quite disappointed, but it was hard to keep her, so she had to send her out, and said politely, "What do princess concubines like to eat? Maybe my family can prepare one or two, so you don't have to be polite."

Gao Xiuru was rather worried when she said it, "I'm fine, what can't I eat when I'm in the army? It's just that the son-in-law is not in good health. The doctor said that we can only eat some porridge and side dishes. We used to be in the southwest, and there was a small temple in the city. It’s a good vegetarian meal, but I don’t know if there is one in Beijing.”

Mrs. Tan had a flash of inspiration, suddenly remembered something, and said after thinking about it. "If you want to talk about vegetarian food, Lu Ying, Miss Lu San, the apprentice of the head of the imperial dining room, did a good job. Especially the tofu is so delicious that even the Duke of the Kingdom praised it. Last time, on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, she presented it The Empress Dowager also liked a piece of goose palm, and even rewarded her with a golden hairpin."

Gao Xiuru also heard about this.But she was more interested in another person, "I heard that sister Zhu is also very good at making tofu. The Shanshui tofu flower she made moved the emperor's grandmother to tears. I really want to see it if I have the opportunity."

It's a pity that the queen mother doesn't like her, so Gao Xiuru still has some scruples.

Mrs. Tan laughed and said, "She was just opportunistic, and it happened to touch the Empress Dowager's heart. The real skill is Miss Lu San. If you don't believe me, the princess invited her into the mansion for a try, I guarantee you can't go wrong."

Gao Xiuru thinks about it, it makes sense.So I thanked Mrs. Tan again, "Thank you, auntie, for taking the trouble to guide me. If you need me in the future, please feel free to speak up."

Mrs. Tan really wanted to ask her something, but she pretended to hesitate and hesitated to speak.

Gao Xiuru said, "But what's so embarrassing?"

Mrs. Tan then sighed, "I shouldn't have said this, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I always feel a little sad when I think that there are still people in my family who are practicing in Baoguang Temple and cannot be reunited."

Gao Xiuru thought for a while, then remembered, "Auntie is talking about uncle's daughter, the Ruian county lord?"

Mrs. Tan hurriedly said, "I'm no longer a county lord, princess, don't be too polite. Even though I am her stepmother, I also want to take her back to live with her during the Chinese New Year."

Seeing that her eyes were red from what she said, Gao Xiuru felt a bit of compassion, and said with a smile, "It's not a difficult task. I'll find a chance in a few days and I'll tell the imperial grandmother to let her come back."

Mrs. Tan hurriedly thanked her, and when they left, Mother Lu asked suspiciously, "What did Madam bring that bitch back for?"

Mrs. Tan glanced at her, with a slight smile on her lips, "Of course it's useful."

After eating fast for so many days, I think that girl must be holding back a lot of anger, as long as she is picked on a little, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not cause trouble.In the past, the queen mother might be angry, but now the queen mother is eager for someone to find fault with that sister Zhu. If this knife is used well, the queen mother would be happy to see it.

As for Miss Lu San, Mrs. Tan didn't believe it. She lost to Sister Zhu in the hall that day, and she would have no resentment in her heart.With her two-pronged approach, she will always cause trouble for that sister Zhu, right?I can't believe she can escape so lucky every time!

To say that Mrs. Tan's judgment is basically correct.

When Gao Xiuru returned to the palace, she ordered someone to send Lu Ying to ask her to prepare a few side dishes for Wei Yinian. At first, Lu Ying readily agreed, but then said, "If you want to talk about tofu alone, then Miss Zhu's family is a bit confused." What is extraordinary. Why don't the princess ask General Gongsun to pass her on for a try?"

A touch of unnaturalness suddenly appeared in Gao Xiuru's beautiful eyebrows, "You mean Gongsun Hong?"

Lu Ying watched her expression carefully, felt more at ease in her heart, and said more generously and calmly, "Yeah, when it comes to the first time I met that Zhu family sister, I almost got into a fight with General Gongsun A big misunderstanding, it can be regarded as not being acquainted with each other."

The expression on Gao Xiuru's face became even more weird and unnatural, "Then how did you know each other?"

"It's just that my maid quarreled with Sister Zhu, which made General Gongsun misunderstand that we were bullying Sister Zhu, and immediately lost his temper, which scared my maid quite a bit."

Hearing her speak in a joking tone, Gao Xiuru felt uncomfortable as if thrown into a caterpillar.But it was only for such a short moment, she quickly came back to her senses, and said lightly, "Oh, then I know, you go down and get ready."

Lu Ying nodded in agreement, bowed and left.When she got home, Zi Jiang couldn't help but said, "Why does the girl recommend Sister Zhu in front of the princess, so as to make others ambitious?"

Lu Ying raised her eyebrows and sneered, is it a recommendation?

Seeing Princess Changguo's expression, I'm afraid she might want to strangle Sister Zhu to death.

The reason why the Lu family has been able to walk in the palace all these years and still stand tall is not only because of their extraordinary cooking skills, but also because they always pay special attention to the private affairs in the palace.

It seems that the rumors I heard before are actually true.Princess Changguo is afraid that she has some ambiguities with Gongsun Hong. As for why she married her current son-in-law in the end, and why Gongsun Hong never married, Lu Ying is not very clear, but she only needs to know that they have some ambiguities. Ambiguity is enough.

She is also a woman, so she can naturally figure out a woman's mind.No matter how sassy and free and easy Princess Chang is.But when he learns that his former favorite has moved on and is extra protective of another girl, he will probably feel unhappy, right?

"Aying!" Just after entering the courtyard, Lu Wenshi rushed out anxiously, grabbed her and left, "Quick, come with me to see your grandfather. Just say you don't want to enter the palace. They are too much." No, you didn’t even ask us what we meant. Just report you as the female official in the palace this time, this..."

"Mother." Pulling her hand from her mother's hand, Lu Ying said quietly, "I gave this name myself, and it's none of their business."

What?Lu Wenshi's eyes suddenly widened, he looked at his daughter in disbelief, and spoke for a while. "Didn't you already..."

"I've already thought about it. Based on our family background, what's the point of marrying into a family of officials with at most three members?" Lu Ying said calmly, and entered the room first.

Lu Wenshi followed blankly, "But even if you go to the palace to be a female official for a few years, how can you marry better when you come out? Besides, you are getting older..."

Lu Ying looked at her mother and smiled confidently, "What are you afraid of when you are older? Based on the contacts I have accumulated in the palace for several years, I believe that even if I can't be the first wife, I can still be a second wife." room. If the other party's family status is higher, I don't mind being a noble concubine."

What?Lu Wenshi was shocked, "You... how can you be a concubine? Have you forgotten how your father's concubines harmed our mother and daughter?"

"Yeah, how can I forget? Men like the new and dislike the old, and they prefer the young wife." Lu Ying raised her eyebrows, smiling a little coldly, "Mother, don't persuade me, I've already made up my mind. I was thinking with all my heart that either I should not marry, or I would be an unaffected wife if I wanted to marry, but now that I think about it, I am still too naive. How many years can a woman be young and beautiful in her life? Instead of being raped like you A few concubines have been oppressed so much that they can't hold their heads up for half their lives, so it's better to be a favored concubine. But I won't be so stupid, let the main room take care of me, if I become a concubine, I must find a job for myself Long-lasting prosperity and wealth is what it is.”

Lu Wenshi looked at her daughter and suddenly felt as if she didn't know her, "Aying, you...how did you become like this?"

"What have I become?" Lu Ying smiled gracefully, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm fine. I just figured out some things and wanted to make myself better in the future. Okay Now, don't bother me here, I also promised Princess Chang to cook for the son-in-law, so don't delay."

When Lu Wenshi was pushed out of the room, Lu Ying's eyes froze suddenly, revealing a bit of ferocity, and she murmured, "It's all thanks to you two that I became like this! Ouyang Kang, Mu Nianfu, I will definitely I will definitely not let you off. If you dare to bully me like this, one day I will pay you back ten times and a hundred times!"

"Girl." Outside the door, Zi Jiang asked, "Are you going to the kitchen now? I've already changed my clothes."

Lu Ying hummed, quickly changed her clothes, and came out soon.

Seeing that her expression was normal, Zi Jiang said, "I've soaked the beans for grinding tofu. Besides soybeans, there are also black beans and red beans. Shall we also make some colored tofu?"

Lu Ying coldly snorted contemptuously, "It's just a plate of tofu if she is allowed to do it. If we want to do it, we will naturally do it a thousand times better than her."

"Then what to do with it?"

"Zijiang, have you heard of the four great delicacies in the world? Bear's paw and shark's fin, deer fetus monkey brain, the monkey brain looks like tofu flower on the surface, but the taste is a thousand times better."

Zijiang shuddered when he heard it, and his skin got goosebumps, monkey brain?Then... is that thing still edible?
