Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 461 Laba
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yinzhen and Fujin entered the palace together, Shu Yun managed to relax a bit, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the courtyard, and a large pot was hung above it, in which Laba porridge was being cooked.

This year was Shu Yun's first time cooking Laba porridge. The servants in the courtyard heard that the matchmaker would share a bowl, and there were smiles on their faces.

In the morning, Shu Yun asked Suzhu and Zhang Desheng to give rewards to all the servants in the courtyard respectively, hoping that everyone could have a happy Laba.

In the side hall, Su Zhu was watching the servants put garlic cloves into the jar and pour rice vinegar, this was the first time Shu Yun asked the people below to do it.

In the palace, few people use Laba garlic. They often want to see Kangxi, so if Laba garlic is used, it will make Kangxi feel that the taste is too strong.

"Master, we made four jars, isn't that too much?" Suzhu was a little unimpressed with this Laba Suan.

"In ordinary people's homes, this is a must. It is often used when eating dumplings or other things." Shu Yun looked at the jar, two big and two young. "These two small ones, you can take them away and eat them. It's good to eat them once in a while when you're not on duty."

After Shu Yun finished explaining, Su Zhu hurriedly directed the servants below to do it quickly.

In the courtyard, all the servants were cleaning up in an orderly manner. After entering the twelfth lunar month, Shu Yun had too many things to prepare, which made Shu Yun feel that there was not enough time at all.

"Su Yan, you go and prepare some eight-treasure rice. Some slaves are from the south. Let the slaves choose whether to use Laba porridge or Laba rice!" After Shu Yun finished explaining, she went to the study by herself, flipping through the books.

The above are all about women's relatives fighting for power. The festival is approaching, and many servants hope to accompany their husbands into the palace to receive a banquet, and some hope to manage the power of the mansion. Therefore, Shu Yun regards these as a play. read.

When midnight was approaching, Yinzhen walked in from the outside, Shu Yun was still sitting cross-legged on the beauty couch, with the word Tong's family in his hand, which recorded in detail all Longkodo's actions of doting on his concubine and destroying his wife.

After seeing it, Shu Yun felt more and more that he should be more disciplined. A concubine like Si'er must end up badly in the end.

"Still sleeping!" Yinzhen looked at the courtyard, the servants were all gathered around the pot, and those who were not on duty were eating.

"Master, why are you here?" Shu Yun hurriedly got up and greeted him. "The slaves are also greedy, they didn't even say you were here!"

"Master, I didn't ask them to greet you, little boy, have you eaten Laba porridge yet?" Yinzhen asked one more question.

Since entering the palace to receive the banquet, he has been eating Laba porridge, all kinds of rewarded Laba porridge, which made Yinzhen feel a little headache.

"Suzhu, hurry up and bring the prepared chicken soup." Shu Yun deliberately ordered ginseng chicken soup.

Yinzhen frowned slightly, what's so delicious about this chicken soup?

Suzhu quickly brought a blue-and-white porcelain dish with a chicken in it, and a red flower crab beside it, and a handful of green chives on top of the chicken, and beside it, two An empty bowl and two small bowls of dipping sauce.

The tray was placed on the kang table, and the aroma of chicken soup came over my face. Yinzhen smelled it, and Danfeng's eyes lit up.

This chicken soup is a bit different from the one made in the palace, but the chicken soup looks very cool, unlike the chicken soup made in the palace dining room.

"Master, this chicken needs to be dipped in seasoning, it tastes very tender!" Shu Yun asked someone to prepare the three yellow chickens specially. Yinzhen had been working hard during this time, so she wondered if she should make something delicious for Yinzhen.

The taste of this chicken soup is very light, and seasoned with flower crab, it tastes very good.

"It tastes good. When I came in from the outside, I used such a bowl of chicken soup, and my whole body was warmed up!" After using a small bowl, Yinzhen also felt very good.

Every time he comes back at night, Shu Yun will bring such a simple supper, so that he can eat before going to bed, and he will not always be hungry and wait for breakfast like before.

In the mansion, the other three female family members are used to Yinzhen's life in the palace, they rarely prepare supper, and Yinzhen stays in the study, most of them follow Shu Yun's habits.

"Master, use more. These days, you have to go out all the time, and when you come back at night, you are still covered with cold air. Use more chicken soup, it will nourish your body!" Shu Yun also specially used Korean ginseng. "The Korean ginseng in the chicken soup is also bought from outside the customs. We don't need to ask for the imperial dining room, and there are red ginseng."

In modern times, when Shu Yun accompanied Jiyou to Korea, she bought some red ginseng drinks there as a way to replenish her body, and Jiyou bought a lot of things for her parents. I'm envious.

"You bought it yourself?" Yinzhen was stunned, Shu Yun had people buy a lot of things, and the price was quite affordable.

"That's right, if you go to Imperial Physician Yuan, you will have to report something!" Shu Yun pouted, ate a spoonful of glutinous rice and a few pieces of chicken, feeling really good.

"Prepare another serving tomorrow!" Yinzhen seldom eats meat, so he used two-thirds of it this time.

"Master, these can only be used as supper, this glutinous rice should be used sparingly!" Shu Yun watched as Yinzhen was only eating soup, and he put a very small amount of glutinous rice in it. The two of them probably had three spoonfuls each, which was about the same. .

After Yinzhen finished using it, he took Shu Yun's hand and went to take a bath together.

In the main courtyard, Fujin lay on the dragon and phoenix bed after bathing, and Yinzhen went to the study again, watching Ying Aihui rest in Shu Yun's courtyard, even though she should be grateful to Shu Yun, she still felt a little uncomfortable .

"Master, why aren't you sleeping yet?" Yu Nanny came in from the outside, saw that Fujin was still there with his eyes open, and hurriedly asked concerned.

"It's okay, Nanny, you've been tired all day, go get some rest." Fujin looked at Nanny Yu. Recently, Nanny Yu must be old and mentally short.

"Fujin, today my master rested in Shushujueluogege's courtyard, isn't this a disgrace to you?" Madam Yu felt uncomfortable. Fujin has always been wronged, in front of Fei Yanggu and Jueluoshi, Fujin didn't even dare to say that he was wronged.

"Mommy, I'm used to it." Fujin smiled tactfully.

Fu Jin was very moved by Nanny Yu's heartache, even Er Niang only cared about the Huns, and occasionally cared about her.

"When I booked the private room in Xiaoyao Pavilion on the second day of junior high school, the family members would not say much!" Fujin said with emotion, thinking about what she would have to face when that day came.

Nanny is very emotional, Fujin has considered too much, the mansion and mother's love are all Fujin's considerations.

"Fu Jin, Madam knows, Fourth Master said about you, but didn't say anything." Mammy felt sorry for Fujin, and the family was oppressing her.
