Concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion: The princess is not to be messed with

Chapter 503

It took more than two hours for Mo Qingling and the others to mix the noodles for making dumplings and mix the stuffing.Mo Qingling mixed three kinds of stuffing, cabbage and pork stuffing, shiitake mushroom and beef stuffing, and three fresh shrimp stuffing.The shrimp stuffing is less popular, because the shrimp is not easy to buy, and there are not many of them.After finishing everything, Hong Ling took clean gauze and spread it on a clean chopping board.

Shuangxue and Hongling rolled out dough, Mo Qingling and Liu'er made dumplings.Liu'er didn't know it at first, but after watching Mo Qingling demonstrate it once, she learned it.Liu'er is also an ingenious girl, and the dumplings she makes are also very delicate and beautiful, not at all inferior to the dumplings made in the 21st Century Hotel.

"Look, sister, do my dumplings look good?" Mo Qingyan showed Mo Qingling the dumplings he had made as if offering a treasure.

Mo Qingling stopped what she was doing, and looked down at the dumplings made by Mo Qingyan.Mo Qingling couldn't be sure, what Mo Qingyan made were really dumplings. In her opinion, they were not like dumplings, but more like steamed stuffed buns, and they were even steamed stuffed buns.Looking at Mo Qingyan's expression, he quickly praised me, Mo Qingling really couldn't bear to hit him.

"Well, it's so ugly." In the end, Mo Qingling couldn't go against her own heart, and hit Mo Qingyan deeply.

Mo Qingyan's heart was deeply hurt, but looking at the dumplings made by his sister, the ones he made were really not ordinary ugly.

"Brother Qingyan, do you see?" Nangong Yushu showed Mo Qingyan the dumplings he had made. Nangong Yushu felt that the dumplings he made were very good.

When Mo Qingyan saw the dumplings made by Nangong Yushu, he was even more shocked. The dumplings made by Yushu were more beautiful than those made by him.Doesn't he have the talent to make dumplings?No, he must work hard to make a good-looking dumpling.

"Yushu, how do you make these dumplings, teach me!"

"Okay!" Nangong Yushu was very happy to pass on his experience in making dumplings.

an hour later
Mo Qingyan looked at the various failed dumplings in front of him, and lowered his head weakly.Does he really have no talent for making dumplings?With these failed works in front of him, he had to admit it.

"Master, if it wasn't for you, why don't you go to study?" Liu'er looked at Mo Qingyan in a low voice and said, the dumplings they made were all for giving away.The young master's package is so ugly, it can't be given as a gift, instead it's a waste of ingredients.

"Okay!" Mo Qingyan washed his hands, turned around dejectedly, and walked out of the kitchen. If the dumplings are not well made, he must read more.

"You go too!" Mo Qingling said to Nangong Yushu.

Nangong Yushu originally wanted to make dumplings for a while, because the dumplings were so fun.But seeing Mo Qingyan's dejected appearance, he felt a little pitiful, so he also washed his hands and went to study with Mo Qingyan.

When it was time for dinner, Mo Qingling cooked those failed products of Mo Qingyan and ate them.

"Although the dumplings are ugly, they still taste good." Hong Ling said looking at Mo Qingyan, who was a little sullen.

Hearing what Hong Ling said, Mo Qingyan, who was still poking the dumplings in the bowl, immediately shone brightly.

But Shuangxue's next words drove Mo Qingyan to the bottom of the valley again.

"That's because Miss stuffing is well mixed." Shuangxue said that she ate a dumpling perfectly.

The dumplings are delicious because the stuffing is well mixed, and it has nothing to do with how well he makes dumplings.

"Brother Qingyan, are you okay?" Nangong Yushu asked Mo Qingyan in a low voice.

Mo Qingyan turned his head stiffly, and said to Nangong Yushu, "I'm fine, eat, eat dumplings."

Nangong Yushu swallowed, he didn't think that brother Qingyan was fine now.

After eating dumplings, Mo Qingling, master and servant, continued to struggle to make dumplings.The dumplings were not finished until late at night.After making the dumplings, Mo Qingling and the others covered them with gauze and cut off the fire dragon in the kitchen.Open the kitchen window to let the cold air into the kitchen and freeze the dumplings.

next day
The day was not yet bright, and the three girls got up early.

Because there was no ground fire dragon in the kitchen, and the windows were open, the three girls were shivering from the cold.

Shuangxue touched the dumplings on the chopping board, and then said to Liu Er and Hong Ling: "These dumplings are frozen solid, they can be boxed."

Hong Ling closed the window, and took out all the food boxes that she went to buy yesterday.The box is red, with the pattern of fish every year engraved on it.

"Pack one hundred in a box. For the New Year's gift that each family wants to return, put a hundred in pork, a hundred in beef, and a hundred in shrimp. The lady said, if you put it in the back, The shrimp stuffing is not enough, so I filled it with beef stuffing and pork stuffing." Hong Ling said to Liu'er and Shuangxue carefully.

"we know."

After speaking, the three girls pretended to be.

Mo Qingling, who had just pretended to be two, also got up, and pretended to be with the three maids.

Three hundred in the Prince's Mansion, three hundred in the Prince Han's Mansion, three hundred in the Ou's Mansion, three hundred in the General's Mansion, and three hundred in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mo Qingling thought that in the Prince's Mansion that day, the Empress Dowager did not make things difficult for herself, but helped her , I also installed three hundred for her.Because the three fresh shrimp stuffing is not enough to put in the back, so I didn't put it in the prime minister's house.

Because of this, Yue Qingfeng felt that she was treated differently in the end, and was sad for a long time.

After packing, Mo Qingling found three or four servants, and loaded all the food boxes into the carriage.Let Hong Ling and Shuang Xue go door-to-door to give gifts. Fortunately, there are not many people who want to give New Year gifts here, so there is plenty of time.

Prince's Mansion

Jimo Cheng was reading in the study when Steward Lin knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in"

"Your Highness, Miss Mo Er from Mo Xiang's Mansion, someone sent a New Year's gift." Lin Guanjiao lowered his head and reported to Jimo City.

"Oh!" Jimocheng hastily put down the book in his hand, and said to Steward Lin, "I'll go and have a look." After speaking, Jimocheng strode out of the study and headed for the hall in the front yard.He gave Mo Qingling a new year gift, but he didn't expect Mo Qingling to return the gift.Unexpectedly, on the last day of the Chinese New Year, she ordered someone to send a New Year's gift. It was obvious that she was in a hurry to prepare.I don't know what New Year's gift she has prepared for him, Jimo City is very looking forward to it.

Hongling and Shuangxue were drinking tea in the living room, they were talking when they saw Jimo City come in.

"My servant pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." The two maids hurriedly saluted Jimo City.

"Get up! What did your miss ask you to bring?" Jimo City looked at Hong Ling and Shuang Xue and asked, and suddenly saw three big mahogany boxes on the table. It is expected that this is the New Year gift from Mo Qingling. It's a gift.

Hong Ling stood up and said in a very decent manner: "Go back to His Royal Highness, because Miss did not expect that His Highness would give our Miss a new year gift alone. So I didn't prepare anything in advance, and we couldn't prepare anything due to the rush of time. Our Miss made it." Dumplings, let us send them to His Royal Highness. There are [-] dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, [-] dumplings stuffed with mushrooms and beef, and [-] dumplings stuffed with three fresh shrimps."

"Dumplings?" Jimo City heard this kind of food for the first time.

Shuangxue looked at Jimo City's puzzled look and explained: "This is a fresh food that our young lady came up with on her own. It is most suitable for this cold winter. It can be eaten directly with vinegar, or it can be steamed and dipped in vinegar. It can be eaten or cooked with bone broth, it tastes very delicious." Shuangxue also told Jimo City several ways to eat the dumplings by the way.

"That's really hard work for your miss. Go back and thank your miss for me. Steward Lin rewards these two girls with some money for wine."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince" Hong Ling and Shuangxue hurriedly expressed their thanks.

Butler Lin took two purses containing silver ingots and gave them to Hong Ling and Shuang Xue. Hong Ling weighed them after they were finished.

"His Royal Highness, the servants have to go to other places to send New Year's gifts, so I will take my leave first." Hong Ling said to Jimo City.

Want to send it elsewhere?Isn't it just him.

"Going somewhere else?"

Hong Ling nodded and said: "That's right, because His Royal Highness King Han, Prime Minister Yue, General Qi and Young Master Ou all sent New Year gifts yesterday, so today we have to return the gifts."

Jimo City did not expect these people to give Mo Qingling a new year gift.Generally, New Year's gifts are given to each other by each prefecture.There is basically no such thing as him giving it to the Prime Minister's mansion, and then giving it to someone in the mansion alone.So, he thought he was the only one doing this!Unexpectedly, even Jimo City, which usually does not give New Year gifts to anyone, would be given to Mo Qingling.

"Their gifts in return are all the same as mine?" Jimo Cheng was a little unwilling to give up, always thinking that Mo Qingling should be special to him.

Hong Ling hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "The others are all the same, each of the three kinds of dumplings has hundreds of dumplings, but there are not enough dumplings with three delicacies fillings, so Prime Minister Yue only has 150 dumplings filled with cabbage and pork, and 150 dumplings. Two shiitake mushrooms and beef stuffing."

Hearing this, Jimo City inexplicably felt some comfort in his heart, he was always better than Yue Qingfeng.At least he has three fresh stuffing, but Yue Qingfeng doesn't.

After Hongling and Shuangxue left, Jimo City asked Steward Lin to order the kitchen to cook twenty of them.He also asked Lin Butler to keep the dumplings well, and he would ask him if there was one missing.

Butler Lin originally thought that with so many dumplings, he could have a taste of them, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness would not even give him a single dumpling.

The last thing Hong Ling and Shuangxue sent to the Queen Mother was because they couldn't enter the palace, so they bothered to call out Eunuch Lin who was beside the Queen Mother.He taught things to Eunuch Lin, and Eunuch Lin is also a man who knows how to be kind, so he also gave Hong Ling Tong Shuangxue a reward.Both Hong Ling and Shuang Xue received a lot of rewards for sending them all the way.Although King Han of King Han's Mansion was not in the mansion, his manager also gave him money, but only ten taels of silver.

Auspicious Palace

The empress dowager was dozing on the soft couch, and the maids and nurses who were serving at the side stood cautiously aside.He didn't dare to make big moves, or speak for fear of waking up the empress dowager.

Eunuch Lin entered the gate of Xiangrui Palace, followed by a little eunuch who was holding three big food boxes in his hands.

"The empress dowager is in the palace."

The maid at the door whispered: "I'm really dozing off right now! Father-in-law has something to do, come back later!"

Eunuch Lin nodded and said, "I'll come back later."

"Who is it?" The Queen Mother's voice came from inside the room.

The maid glanced at Eunuch Lin, then turned and entered the house.Kneeling on the ground, he reported to the queen mother: "Go back to the queen mother, it is Eunuch Lin who has come."

The Queen Mother straightened up and said, "Let him in!"
