Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 548

In the summer of the 14th year of Zhongyuan, the heavy rain for several days gradually washed away the heat of Qingzhou City.

I don't know when, the air began to become cooler, and even the wind became stronger, carrying the unique scent of grass and trees in this season, blowing across this quiet small town, as if it was a rest here in autumn Feet, bring joy to the city.

The rare days of fresh coolness in these summer days, although joyful, are also somewhat annoying.For example, the quilts and thin mattresses that were put away had to be taken out of the cage at this time, otherwise, the night was cold and cold, and the sudden cold weather would inevitably hurt the body.

On the first day of June, Mrs. Zhong woke up very early. After getting up, she called Axu in, and lazily ordered: "Bring me the plain royal blue quilt that I just made this year and change it on. The old me fell asleep uncomfortable, woke up several times last night, very sick."

After Axu led the order, Zhong Shi, under the service of the servant girl, dressed herself in the mirror, and said to Aliu, who was pulling her hair: "I remember there was white fungus and snow crystal porridge on the stove last night, so it must be at this time." It has been fully melted, you ask someone to bring out three portions, I will keep one here, and send the other two to Zhao'er and Zhi'er. They must have woken up now."

While combing her bun, Ah Liu smiled and said: "Madam is so thoughtful, she thought of stewing white fungus with fine rice. I went to the kitchen to see it early in the morning. The porridge was as white as snow when it came out. When the lid is lifted, the aroma is pleasing to the nose.”

Complacent, Zhong said with a smile: "This is a popular way of eating porridge in Shangjing. It is said that the ladies in the palace also eat porridge like this. In fact, white fungus is easy, but fine rice is rare. You don't know, This fine rice is usually tributed to the palace, because this year there is a new kind of green jade glutinous rice in the north, which is said to be better than fine rice. The ladies in the palace like it very much, so they don't eat this fine rice. Only fine rice can be sold in the market.”

"It turns out that this is the rice that the noble ladies love to eat." Aliu sighed, "I just said how this rice is so fine and white, it smells delicious, and it is a hundred times better than the corn we usually eat, but I don't know how much more it is. Such a story."

Mrs. Zhong laughed and said, "Speaking of which, we have a good taste. This fine rice is originally from the south of the Yangtze River. Because the rice grains are small and transparent like crystals, with a fragrant fragrance, the porridge cooked is glutinous and smooth, and melts in the mouth. The wives love it very much. But now the Holy Majesty has favored a new Shuyi, named Li. This Li Shuyi doesn't like to eat fine rice, but only likes green jade glutinous rice, so the Holy Majesty ordered someone to change the fine rice. Some time when the eldest brother transported grain, he collected tens of catties of fine rice, so the elder brother paid a lot of money to buy it himself, and sent us about ten catties, so we have tasted the taste of this porridge."

Hearing the words, Ah Liu was amazed again, and combed Zhong's hair neatly with his hands and feet before stepping back to arrange porridge and rice.

Seeing the darkness around the window, Mrs. Zhong was afraid that it would rain again, so she got up and opened the window to check.It was such a coincidence that she just opened the window here, and saw a figure from behind flashed by the door of the wing, but she looked like Qin Yanli's ambassador daughter—Chickweed.

Zhong frowned, and was waiting to take a closer look, when suddenly a soft voice came from behind: "Ma'am, don't stand in the wind and watch."

Zhong turned her head and saw that it was Axu who brought back the new bedding.

"It turned out to be you, you came back rather quickly." Zhong said in a low voice, she had already left the window, but her brows were still frowning, and she asked, "What is chickweed doing here this early in the morning?"

Axu ordered the servant girl to change Zhong Shi into a new quilt, and she herself went up to dress Zhong Shi herself, and said in a low voice: "It is said that Xiling Shanfang lost a few things, and Chickweed's temper is the worst." Be cautious, and came here to tell me. I saw that it was nothing valuable, but just two old hairpins, so I sent her away by the way."

Zhong's face turned cold: "Sanniang is too careless, how could she just throw things away? Didn't they look for them?"

A Xu looked at her face, and whispered back: "Return to Madam, they naturally looked for it, but they didn't find it."

"Then there are thieves." Zhong's face completely sank, and he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, she relaxed her face, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, I don't care about the affairs of the Xiling Shanfang now. I just throw things away. I don't have the time to care about these things."

Axu laughed and said, "It's better for Madam to figure it out. Why bother to suffer all these troubles? It's easier to let go of your hand." He nodded in the direction, and said with a suppressed voice: "There is a master behind that person, why should Madam get involved in these things?"

What she said had a lot of meaning, Zhong understood it, and couldn't help laughing: "You are narrow-minded, how can you talk about this?" He couldn't help laughing, covered his sleeves and laughed.

Speaking of which, it is well known that Fan Erlang, the Hou Yaozi of Han'an Township, loves beauties, but there is a rumor among the gentry circles in Jiangyang County that the beauties Fan Erlang loves are not Men and women, as long as they are good-looking, he loves them all.

At the thought of this, Zhong curled her lips, and said coldly: "No wonder last time in Dehui Hall, Sanlang said that he would go to the Hou's Mansion to seek medical treatment for Sanniang, but it turned out that he was in the limelight. Pleased."

Ah Xu didn't dare to answer these words, she just smiled without saying a word.

Zhong didn't want to continue talking about this anymore, so she sat back in front of the dressing table and asked, "Is the porridge still ready?"

Axu then said softly: "I don't think so yet. The small kitchen was alone this morning, and it was very busy." When she said this, she smiled a little more on her face, and said flatteringly: "Madam is careful. Drinking porridge early in the morning is the best way to nourish the spleen and stomach, and the two gentlemen don't have to sit in Dehui Hall hungry."

Mrs. Zhong liked to hear these words, she showed a kind smile on her face, and said: "Both of them are weak, it's good to give them a cushion first."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, frowned, and said: "Forget it, you can go to the stove later to see how much porridge is left, and ask someone to add some water to boil it again, and it will be ready in the next afternoon." Give some to Xi'an Xiangting, Xiling Shanfang, and Xilou, and don't let people say that my mother has neglected the concubines and concubines."

"Madam is just so kind." Axu said softly, with just the right amount of flattery on her face: "Who knows that Madam treats her children equally and never forgets those courtyards. If you want me to say, Madam should stay first." Just order some porridge, and you haven’t eaten it twice, so you’re just trying to get it here and there. Your spleen and stomach are weak, and you can’t always eat coarse millet rice.”
