first class maid

Chapter 348
At this time, Eunuch Liang was sitting on the grand teacher's chair with his legs crossed and humming a little tune. When he saw the little eunuch running in, he laughed and cursed, "Why are you running? I'm dead?"

"Father-in-law, the new provincial supervisor didn't even buy a single ingredient today, and his face turned green. Father-in-law was smart enough to contact the previous suppliers in advance with other suppressed provincial supervisors, and let them run out of stock. Wait now." Looking at the expressions of the nobles when they are eating..."

Eunuch Liang reached out and tapped the little eunuch's head, "There are still some stored in the palace." The corner of his mouth curled up maliciously, "It can only last for about two days at most." Hello, this time I'm waiting for a good show.

The first day began. The Sixth Bureau and the newly appointed officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs urgently tried to solve the problem, but no matter how intimidating or lure those people were, they would not buy their account. Frowning, but no one wants to make things big, so they still maintain a superficial calm. With the savings in the past, the operation of the harem will not be broken.

On the second day, it barely survived, but all the newly appointed people looked ugly.

On the third day, the problem began to be exposed slowly, and this time it was no longer just an ugly face that could be solved. They were too busy cleaning up the mess to try to cover up the problem.

At night, when Xun was about to have dinner, he saw Winnie walking back and forth a little uneasy, "Sister Wen, sit down and eat first, don't pace up and down, I feel dizzy."

"Really, it's been three days, why is there still no movement?" Winnie sat down on the chair and frowned.

Xun Zhenzhen was about to answer, and Peng Sicai stepped in quietly, "Xun Zhen, is your plan going to work? Now that they have found replacements, if we push on, we are afraid that we will be the ones who suffer in the end. Women's history is beginning to waver."

Xun Zhen glanced at Peng Sicai's reaction, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly. No wonder his reputation has not been obvious for many years. It turned out that it was not because of his low profile, but because this ministerial maid lacked great wisdom, but at this moment she still got up and supported Peng Sicai to sit Next, "Master Si Cai, don't worry, you have to try your best to appease the others, we can't fall short, now we have to fight to see who has the most perseverance, don't look at the silence now, but the current is turbulent , it is the time when everyone is secretly competing, and Master Si Cai must stick to his heart."

"Xun Zhen, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart. I think everyone feels this way..." Peng Sicai said.

Xun Zhen put a chopsticks of vegetables into Peng Sicai's bowl, "Master Si Cai, shall we eat the vegetables first?"

"At this moment, how can I be in the mood to eat?" Peng Sicai couldn't help but stare at Xun Zhen, how could she be so calm?Now she not only has to bear her own future on her shoulders, but also the group of loyal subordinates to her, that's why she is anxious.

"Master Si Cai, try this dish. How is it different from the usual ones? How about the color of the dish?" Xun Zhen pointed to the two meat, one vegetable and one soup on the table with chopsticks, "Food is the most important thing for the people. The situation in the palace can be seen from the meals on this table."

Not only did Peng Sicai not understand what he said, but even Winnie was a bit suspicious, and they held up their chopsticks to eat vegetables. Even though they hadn't eaten anything good, the freshness of the dishes was very different from the past. , and a closer look at the dishes has shrunk a lot, how can there be enough portions before?

Peng Sicai ate another dish with chopsticks, and slowly realized the deep meaning in it, and looked in shock at Xun Zhen who was eating as if nothing had happened, "Xun Zhen, this dish doesn't taste right."

Xun Zhen smiled, "Master Si Cai finally tasted it? Although this dish is not eye-catching, it reveals a lot of information. They are trying their best to keep it from being seen. Take a step back and say yes." Yes, it’s okay for us to find alternative ingredients, but those masters above, who don’t eat well, wear well, and use well, will they have no complaints when they see that the supply has deteriorated? Will your lord have any complaints? Although the middle palace is the master of the harem, will there be fewer concubines who dislike the palace? This is a once-in-a-thousand-year thing that embarrasses the empress, and they will let it go?"

Peng Sicai was dumbfounded. Although she already knew about Xun Zhen's plan, she didn't go into such a deep way last time, but she was too hasty, her face flushed, she got up and bowed to Xun Zhen, "Xun Zhen, It seems that my eyesight is far inferior to yours, so I'll go back and cheer them up."

Xun Zhen jumped away from her worship, and was about to say something, but she didn't know that Peng Sicai disappeared in the corridor outside the door as quickly and quietly as when he came, making her really dumbfounded.

"Really, even my confidence was almost shaken. You are right, we can't be discouraged at this time." Winnie said firmly.

Xun Zhen shook Winnie's hand, "Sister Wen, don't worry, this plan will definitely succeed, come, let's eat quickly."

The two looked at each other and smiled, holding their chopsticks to eat quite leisurely.

Bureau of Shangyi, Wang Ying was listening to Si Bin and Si Zan about the etiquette arrangements for the Empress Dowager Hall, which will be held in the next two days. Shi came to visit, so he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"What wind brought Li Shangshi here?" Wang Ying laughed.

Li Mei'er's face was a bit serious, "Let's talk."

Seeing her serious expression, Wang Ying put away her smile and told Si Bin, Si Zan and others to leave, "What happened?"

"You haven't heard anything about it? What are you busy with?" Li Mei'er asked suspiciously, "The old and the new factions in the palace seem to be fighting fiercely now, you don't know at all?"

A look of shock appeared on Wang Ying's face, "I've been busy with the arrangements for the Queen's Grand Ceremony recently, and this time I was in a hurry, so I didn't notice these things?"

Li Meier saw that she didn't look like she was lying, so she confessed the little information she had received, "You can stay in office, it seems that you are also a trusted friend of the empress, do you want us to help you with this matter?" A group of people stand firm? Do you want to report to the empress? We are all in the same boat, so it’s better to add up, and there will be a charter for talking in the future.”

Wang Ying pondered for a moment, and said after a while: "Li Shangshi, are you here to test me on behalf of your mother? Or did you really come to discuss with me?" She had to doubt Li Meier's intentions, as the saying goes, you should not have a defensive heart .
