Rather be a concubine

Chapter 256
Now that he arrived in Yangzhou, Chu Zheng was not idle, and Yangzhou had some loyal ministers anyway, so Chu Zheng secretly contacted some extremely reliable people to inquire about the imperial envoy Qi Zimu, Qi Zimu was favored by Emperor Chongwen, and his character was also extremely good It is precious, and Chu Zheng is not willing to give up such a beautiful jade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When Chu Zheng went out to do errands, Ah Si and Su Mo prepared an anti-fetal medicine.Because she knew that Bo Yuqiao's body would not be able to withstand the torture, she did not dare to give the anti-natal medicine to others, so she could only cook it herself, so she could feel relieved.

Bo Yuqiao usually doesn't like these dark and bitter medicines the most, but because of the avoidance of Zizi Tang, she also feels a little bit guilty for the baby in her belly. After using the medicine, I took the sour plums that Shi'er Ci'er had pickled, and it tasted really good.

Because Chu Zheng pretended to be a rich man on the surface, coupled with his extremely handsome face and extraordinary demeanor, walking around this city of Yangzhou attracted the hearts of countless young ladies, although nothing unexpected happened. Wei Jie's matter, but it is not an exaggeration to call it a fruitless car.

In addition, Jiangnan women's bodies are enchanting and graceful, and their skin and flesh are as white as snow, very delicate, completely different from the gorgeous beauties in Beijing, and have a soft and elegant style.If it was the past, Chu Zheng would definitely be moved when he saw such a beauty. After all, who doesn't like a good-looking lady?
But now Bo Yuqiao is pregnant, and he came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a business, so he never thought of having any affair with this beautiful woman from Yangzhou.Although Chu Zheng doesn't have such thoughts, there are many brave little ladies. Since they have a secret heart, they can't wait to be by Chu Zheng's side, even if it's just a maid who brings tea and water, as long as they can get along with such a handsome person. All in one place.

Bo Yuqiao didn't know what these little ladies were thinking. If he knew, instead of being angry, he would laugh at her.There are a lot of merchants in Yangzhou, and because there are many merchants coming and going, the atmosphere is also very open.Most of these charming little ladies have read a lot of scripts, and thinking of Chu Zheng, they are like Zhang Sheng, who can express their feelings with them in poems and books.

Even though Chu Zheng was talented, he didn't want to drink and have fun with those little ladies.In his opinion, women must live in peace, they are excellent just now, and they pass away in a ostentatious manner, their frivolous characters are annoying.Besides, Bo Yuqiao is a rare beauty. Among the women that Chu Zheng has seen over the years, except for the imperial concubine Yu Yunzhi who is better than Bo Yuqiao, these beauties from the water villages are also three points inferior to Bo Yuqiao.

Chu Zheng's picky temperament, even if he likes Bo Yuqiao, the latter still doesn't know it. After all, Chu Zheng is a child of the royal family. Everyone in the royal family has a problem, that is, they only regard women as toys, and enjoy them when they are in the mood. Fan, if they get tired of it, they will just send them away. Anyway, they are nobles, and others have to flatter them even if they are sullen.

Bo Yuqiao was also a little annoyed by Chu Zheng's erratic temperament, but Chu Zheng was also her food and clothing after all, so she naturally couldn't make Chu Zheng unhappy.Unless there is a day when she can become a princess and hold Prince Rui's Mansion tightly in her hands, at that time, Bo Yuqiao will not care about what Chu Zheng is thinking at all.

The food in Yangzhou is even more exquisite than that in the capital. After all, Yangzhou is extremely rich, and there are endless incidents of salt merchants fighting for wealth. The three generations compare food, the fourth generation compares clothing, and the fifth generation compares poetry and books. Bo Yuqiao was very happy about food and clothing, and the rich people playing tricks in different ways.

At this moment, there are eight dishes on the mahogany table in front of you, stewed lion head with crab powder, grilled whole pig head, braised silver carp head, three sets of duck, boiled dried silk, golden onion casserole wild duck, vinegar fried mandarin fish, and snail shark fin.The dishes are served on two palm-sized porcelain plates. Although the portion is not large, it makes people's index fingers move when they look at it.

Bo Yuqiao grabbed the ivory and silver chopsticks and tasted seven of the dishes. She didn't know how long Chu Zheng was going to stay in Yangzhou. If you eat Huaiyang vegetables in your stomach, the baby in your belly may not be safe.

I don't know why, but since a few days ago, Bo Yuqiao has felt a lot of appetite, especially like these southern dishes, always feel that delicate food is better to eat.But even though her appetite has increased, Bo Yuqiao's body shape has not changed. If she becomes a very strong mother-in-law after her first pregnancy, it must be because of Bo Yuqiao's mind that she will have some headaches.

Now she thinks this dish of stewed lion head with crab powder is very good. Bo Yuqiao can't help salivating when she smells the rich aroma, but even so, this dish is not allowed to be eaten. Because of the crab roe, Bo Yuqiao is pregnant, so she can't eat too much.Crab roe is cold and blood-promoting, and her pregnancy was a bit precarious, so even though she coveted it, Bo Yuqiao didn't eat it.

For Bo Yuqiao, not being allowed to eat the food in her mouth was extremely intolerable.Taking advantage of Chu Zheng's going out to do errands, Bo Yuqiao's mind became more active, so she went to the chef in the inn and spent a lot of money to get the recipe for braised crab meat and lion's head.

After getting the prescription, Bo Yuqiao couldn't sit still, she was very good at crafting, so she was naturally eager to try it now.Although Su Mo didn't want to make Bo Yuqiao bother, but it's not good to confine the young lady in the upper room every day, so that her muscles and bones are active, which is also good for the fetus in the womb.

It was Ah Si who told Su Mo about this, so Su Mo just allowed Bo Yuqiao to enter the inn's kitchen and try to make this lion's head stewed with crab powder.

In Bo Yuqiao's view, this method of eating is not difficult, as long as you find good ingredients.The inn where the group of them lived was very famous in Yangzhou City, so naturally they could find good ingredients.

Bo Yuqiao finely chops the top-quality fragrant pork into pomegranate rice shapes, and she hasn't cooked for a long time, and Bo Yuqiao's knife skills can't help being a little rusty, at least she changed the pork into a knife, and just found some texture.Put pomegranate rice-shaped fragrant pork into a stone bowl, add onion and ginger water, crab meat, shrimp roe, refined salt, Shaoxing rice wine and other seasonings, and stir in starch.

Because Bo Yuqiao likes green vegetables very much, he chose a lot of green cabbage hearts that are one finger long and washed them. Cut the heads of the vegetables into cross-shaped patterns with a knife, cut off the tips of the leaves, and then heated the frying pan on high heat, scooped Add the cooked lard, add the green cabbage and stir-fry until emerald green, then add a little shrimp, refined salt, and a good broth, bring to a boil and remove from the heat.

Su Mo stood aside, seeing the young lady's nimble movements, felt relieved, took another casserole from the bowl rack, put it on the counter, and then Bo Yuqiao wiped the bottom of the pot with cooked lard, Then pick up the cabbage heart with silver chopsticks, and cover the bottom of the casserole, adding a green color, which is also very elegant.

The broth has been boiled before, pour it into a casserole, and bring it to a boil on medium heat.The fragrant pork that was worked up earlier was divided into several portions. Bo Yuqiao put the pork in the palm of the hand one by one, turned it back and forth a few times with both hands, tied it into smooth meatballs, placed them on the cabbage heart one by one, and embedded the crab roe in each meatball On top, cover the green vegetable leaves, cover the pot, and after the broth has boiled for three boils, simmer for an hour on low heat.

After working for a while, seeing the steam rising from the casserole, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help but feel better.Naturally, she was not lucky enough to taste this stewed lion's head with crab noodles, but Chu Zheng could. Now that she has a baby in her belly, even for the sake of the baby, she still has to plan for the position of side concubine.

After all, the baby born by the side concubine is completely different from the concubine, so even if it is a little tiring to cook, it is nothing to Bo Yuqiao.

After the stewed lion's head with crab powder was ready, the soup was milky white and the leaves were green. With the delicious lion's head, Bo Yuqiao was very satisfied with it, so she didn't let Su Mo do it. She found a tray and put it on it. This hot casserole goes to the upper room.

Coincidentally, the stewed crab meat and lion's head was about to come out of the pot, and Chu Zheng came back, but he didn't return to the upper room at the moment, anyway, he was staying in the lobby of the inn.When Bo Yuqiao came out from the kitchen, she also saw Chu Zheng standing in the lobby.

Originally, Bo Yuqiao had a joyful smile on her brows and eyes, but when she saw the charming young lady standing beside Chu Zheng, the smile on her face gradually subsided, and a wave of excitement rose in her heart. Unprecedented anger.

However, Bo Yuqiao was also aware of her identity, so she couldn't be presumptuous in front of Chu Zheng, so she pulled the corners of her lips forcefully, put the tray and casserole on an empty table, and then Yingying pointed at Chu Zhengfu, opened the mouth.

"The concubine salutes the son."

Seeing Bo Yuqiao here, Chu Zheng couldn't help but frown. The woman next to him made him extremely annoyed, and now that Bo Yuqiao was added, it would be even more difficult to deal with.Chu Zheng pursed his lips, and then said to Bo Yuqiao.

"Go back to your room first, you don't need to serve here."

Hearing what Chu Zheng said, Bo Yuqiao became even more angry, but the pretty woman standing beside Chu Zheng laughed out loud, the flowers and branches trembled, and the plump and towering pepper milk also trembled slightly, revealing a seductive look. ravine.There was a charming look in this beauty's eyebrows, coupled with the exposed red dress, Bo Yuqiao had already guessed the identity of this little lady, she must be the world-famous Yangzhou skinny horse.

Thinking of being teased by a prostitute, even though Bo Yuqiao felt resentful in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face, so she just spoke softly.

"In that case, the concubine will go down first."

After saying that, Bo Yuqiao didn't stay any longer in the lobby of the inn, and went upstairs with the stewed crab powder and lion's head, and pushed open the carved wooden door to the upper room, only to hear a creak, and saw Princess Yue walk away An upper room came out.
