Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

The companion has wronged her for being such a lovely person.Today I came to ask the emperor, why not keep her in the palace, just be a female historian, and let her out when she is old, I don't know what the emperor thinks? "Fengxiu looked at the emperor's expression and said cautiously.

"This..." Shui Qingchuan thought for a while: "It's easy to do. I just ask Shangyi Bureau to go to your place to ask for someone. To be a female secretary, with some salary, it's not in vain to serve you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Xiu was overjoyed when she saw that it was going so smoothly, she knelt down and kowtowed.

"Get up, is it okay? If there's nothing else to do, then step back, I still have something to talk about with Brother Elder Emperor." Shui Qingchuan said with a smile.

"Yes! Sister Chen resigns!" Feng Xiu saluted and retreated.

"Jia Yuanchun?" Shui Rong repeated the name.

"Yes, the girl from Jia's family in Rongguo Mansion was chosen as Fengxiu's companion at the beginning. I met her at the concubine's place. She has some beauty and talent." Shui Qingchuan remembers very clearly that Jia Yuanchun really loved that meal. It can be said that he performed with all his strength and even played the piano to add to the fun. It's hard not to remember.

"Women in the palace are not simple, whether it is golden branches and jade leaves, or concubines and officials...Fengxiu still cares about her life after marriage, how dare she let the concubine accept such a concubine room." Shui Rong laughed: "She doesn't even know What on earth do you mean, what if it is because of the identity of the princess's companion that it is difficult to start? This time it is considered as a favor. If not, then lose a hidden danger!"

"Brother Huang, you arrange me again. Except for Li Yang, it's just a routine for other women." Shui Qingchuan said helplessly: "By the way, when it comes to the Jia family, what does your savior, the girl from the Lin family, look like? Yang praised her so much that even I was curious. Have you ever seen Brother Huang?" Shui Qingchuan thought of Daiyu and asked curiously.

"With this time, why not talk about the Qin family's murder?" Shui Rong said.

"Oh? Another new clue?" Shui Qingchuan's eyes lit up, and her brother successfully changed the subject.

"Well, I found a few people who lived near the Qin family at that time. They all said that before the accident happened to the in-laws, they often saw people sneaking around nearby, and a tragedy happened not long after that." When I saw the original face, it was dressed as a servant of the Zhongshun Palace. Although I had a beard, I recognized it. Those people have always been under my control, so I got the report in time."

"Okay!" Shui Qingchuan was overjoyed: "This is a great progress. The whole family of the Qin family suffered misfortune, and it has always been the hatred of the late emperor. If this case is really solved, it can be regarded as a comfort to the late emperor's spirit in heaven." .”

"Back then the Qin's house was turned over, and the hidden compartment on the floor of the bedroom was opened, and it was empty inside. I don't know what was in it." Shui Rong was in his teens at that time, and he only went there with the late emperor. The scene was horrifying. .

"The former emperor also suspected that Qin Yaokang was murdered because he possessed a map, but in the end no evidence was obtained. The only Qin Keqing who was adopted by the Jia family was only five years old at the time. Jia Zheng said that she was so scared that she couldn't remember anything at the time. The clue is also broken." Shui Qingchuan regretted, but he didn't expect a girl of a few years old to know anything. "But all the female corpses of the Qin family have flowers on their backs, which seem to be the family's mark. That Qin Keqing also has them. At that time, the late emperor ordered someone to examine them, but they were all flower patterns, without any useful clues."

"I will go to Prince Zhongshun's mansion again. You should arrange the ancestor worship ceremony at the end of the year first." Shui Rong stood up and said, "I'll go back first. If there's anything else, I'll ask someone to inform the manor. I won't be here for a few days. .”

"Well, Brother Huang, take care of yourself." Shui Qingchuan cupped her hands, Shui Rong waved her sleeves, and left the imperial study.

In the evening, sure enough, it began to snow flutteringly, and when the sky turned dark, the snowflakes had already become flakes, fluttering like goose feathers, and in a blink of an eye, they were as thick as palms.

The dinner at Mo's family was originally a standard meal, but at Li Yang's insistence, hot pot was changed.Mrs. Mo also thought this proposal was very good, warm and lively.

A large round table was set up in the inner hall, and the six people sat around one place, and a single table was set up not far away, with three aunts and big girls.Mrs. Mo is in a very good mood today, so she spared the service of the three aunts.

Grand Master Mo sat in the middle, Mrs. Mo was on the left, Daiyu was on the right, Mo Lan was next to his mother, and Li Yang was between Daiyu and Mo Xiao.There was a brass charcoal-fired pot in the middle, and more than a dozen maids standing behind each held a variety of meat and vegetable balls, so as not to splash the soup.

Daiyu didn't enjoy eating at Jia's during this time. Although Jia's dishes were extravagant, they were heavy in oil and salt, and very greasy. But her stomach was used to light food, so she accumulated food every now and then, swallowing No food.Baoyu said all day long that he was worried that she would not be able to eat, and sighed sadly, but he never thought about the reason, and it was fine if he sighed.

"Sister, these dishes are fish slices. My second brother said that my sister is from the south of the Yangtze River. She must not be used to the dishes in the capital. I didn't get tired of it, so I asked someone to go outside to get some fish. Our family The master is very skillful with the knife, he sliced ​​it thinly, and my sister must eat more." Li Yang chattered, and with a wave of her hand, the three maids came forward with the tray and bowed their knees, and there were three types of fish on each tray. There are nine types in total.The meat slices are thin and transparent. Although they are rolled into thin rolls and piled up on the plate, you can still vaguely see the color of the bottom of the plate. Coupled with the tender texture, it makes people move their index fingers.

"Second brother, you're bothering me." Daiyu was full of joy, smiled and looked at Mo Xiao, expressing her gratitude, then blushed suddenly and lowered her head.

"Sister, you are being polite." Mo Xiao said gently.

"Okay, okay, after a while, Ziyu'er is hungry, so she won't be able to eat anything." Mo Haoxun and his wife smiled at each other, and ordered, and then he picked up the cold vegetable platter in front of him with chopsticks, and started to eat.

The mother-in-law stepped forward and took off the lid of the big copper pot, and put a small porcelain bowl on the vent of the copper pillar to keep the temperature.

The maids came forward to place the meat and vegetables in a neat and orderly manner, and several people served the vegetables at the same time without any spillage.

Li Yang leaned into Daiyu's ear and whispered, stretched out his fingers and pointed at the assorted platters in front of each person, and said, "This is also what my second brother thought of." A large porcelain plate with six grids, one in front of each person, In the grid are a few slices of shiny sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, four pieces of golden four-treasure tofu, a few pieces of petals decorated with honey oil pumpkin, and the other three are jellyfish choy sum, sesame oil radish and peach kernels that are delicious for eating hot pot. spinach.

In the capital, the cooks of every big family are carefully selected, and they are famous for their complicated cooking skills and various processes.Mo's family is not immune to customs. Although it is not as good as Jia's family, a green vegetable needs more than [-] things to go with it, but it also needs to go through complicated cooking to taste. No matter which cuisine, you can't find the original feeling. It is so bland and uncommon. have.

Hearing this, Daiyu quietly cast a glance at Mo Xiao, but unexpectedly found that Mo Xiao was also looking at her, quickly looked away, picked up a piece of tofu, took a small bite, her face suddenly became hot for some reason.

"I never knew that spinach tasted like this...Second brother, second brother." Mo Lan had just eaten a bunch of spinach, and was feeling emotional when he suddenly saw Mo Xiao holding the chopsticks to the side of the plate, but his eyes were on Daiyu .I couldn't help but laugh, and called.

"Huh?" Mo Xiao picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, took a bite but it was empty, he took it out and found that there was nothing there, he was a little embarrassed by the big brother's smile, he hurriedly picked up the food and put it in his mouth.Looking sideways, fortunately Liyang was busy eating and didn't see it, otherwise he would have to stop again.

Daiyu ate slowly, her mind was in a mess.

Was that person really the second brother of the Mo family that day?How did such a noble son fall into such a situation?It may not be him, there are many similarities in the world.Damn it, I was so nervous that day that I completely forgot his voice, and only remembered such a pair of eyes.But this kind of thing, let alone ask.

Taking advantage of the gap between meals, she carefully looked at Mo Xiao for the first time.He is as noble as Baoyu, but his face is well defined, very handsome, his figure is tall and straight, strong and tight, he is the one he met before, and no one can match him.No wonder Tanchun said that the second son of the Grand Master's Mansion was handsome and unmatched in those days, but so far, it is true.

"Sister, eat quickly. I won't eat those dishes that don't have the original taste in the future. I still have an appetite for something lighter." Li Yang ate happily, but it didn't affect his mind, thinking about something.

Daiyu picked a piece of shiitake mushroom for her, Li Yang reacted very quickly, immediately transferred it to Mo Xiao's bowl beside her, and said openly: "Second brother, I picked this for you, eat it quickly." This girl today I can see it, although I don't know the reason, but Daiyu will blush when she looks at Mo Xiao, but facing Mo Lan is really like treating her brother.

Mo Xiao naturally saw it, and ate it in a hurry.The Mo family was very happy to see the children enjoying themselves happily.

The hot hot pot and the warm atmosphere make people feel low and difficult!

After dinner, the table was removed.After they rinsed their mouths and hands, they chatted in twos and threes. The three aunts pulled Daiyu to praise her, but Li Yang was whispering to Mrs. Mo, and Mrs. Mo couldn't help nodding with a smile.

Mo Haoxun and his two sons were chatting about some trifles about the court, while looking here from time to time.

"Big Brother and Second Brother, shall we go for a snowball fight?" Li Yang suddenly suggested, remembering the heavy snow outside.

"There was still a snowball fight, and whoever lost was still crying." Mo Lan put down her tea bowl and smiled.

"That's because you two bullied me, a girl, and you think it's very honorable to win!" Li Yang hummed softly: "Today I'm with the elder brother, the second brother is with the younger sister, and the maids and mother-in-law on both sides , Let's see who can win!"

"Me? I won't!" Daiyu turned her head to look outside
