[Red Mansions] Dependents

Huangfu Mingrui and Huangfu Minglu respected Yaxin very much, not only because of Yaxin's status as a teacher, but more importantly, Yaxin's education for them made them sincerely convinced. The truth is no, every time they do something, Yaxin will only tell them to take care of their own safety, and if they do something wrong, they will ask them to reflect on their own mistakes and explain that they cannot do it again. What they like, the daily lessons are actually Yaxin accompanying them to do what they like to do. In the eyes of others, these are actually playful, but Yaxin understands that children's nature is to play, and only by playing middle school can we get twice the result with half the effort.

The Queen Mother and the Empress, who were puzzled by Yaxin's behavior, were a little worried, but because they believed in Yaxin's character, they let Yaxin do what they wanted, and saw the effect after a while, which made the Queen Mother and others feel more at ease. Now, Yaxin will let her teach the prince how to teach.

"Master, where's Jia Qi? Why didn't he come today?" Both Ming Rui and Ming Lu knew Keqing's identity, and they were very close to Jia Qi, a cousin.

Yaxin is holding one in each hand, usually when Yaxin teaches Mingrui and Minglu, she doesn't need the presence of maids in order to relax: "Qi'er was taken to the shop by his uncle today to deal with some matters, today we Three, what do you want to do today?"

"Grandma Huang is sick, and Empress Dowager has a younger sister in her stomach. Lu'er wants to make some meals for Grandma Huang and Empress Dowager." Ming Lu said clearly when he was young.

Although Ming Rui also thought about it, he knew that he couldn't do it.

Yaxin smiled and said: "The ancients said: 'Gentlemen stay away from the kitchen', you are not allowed to enter the kitchen, but since Rui'er and Lu'er have such filial piety, then you play by yourself first, the master will help you cook the food, and you take it Can you give it to the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager?" Yaxin is still very satisfied with Mingrui and Minglu's filial piety.

Ming Rui and Ming Lu happily replied: "Thank you, Master."

Yaxin often went to the imperial dining room to prepare cakes for the two princes on weekdays, and the people in the imperial dining room got used to it. When they saw Yaxin, they respectfully asked: "What are you going to prepare today, Master Zi?" The eunuchs and mothers all like Yaxin very much. Yaxin is kind and polite to others. When she comes to the imperial dining room, everyone *helps her. In fact, it's not just the imperial dining room. Yaxin's popularity in the palace is still very good Yes, no matter whether people are sincere or not, they are very friendly to her.

"Just prepare some millet today. I want to cook porridge and add some light side dishes." Yaxin explained familiarly.

The most idle chef in the imperial dining room asked, "Why don't you make pastries?" Regardless of his idleness, this is the oldest and the best chef. I went, and now I only cook for the four giants in the palace, and no one else even thinks about it.

Yaxin said: "Today the Empress Dowager is in poor health, and the Empress Dowager was pregnant again not long ago, the two princes want to be filial to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, so please ask me to help."

The old imperial chef smiled and said, "It's also the master Zishi's good teaching, the two princes are lucky. I have also met the emperor's son-in-law before, but I don't work as hard as you."

"The old master praised me, and I want to seek government in his position. I just want to be worthy of the royal family's trust in me." Yaxin replied modestly while doing the work at hand seriously.

A little palace maid came in from outside, mumbling something to herself, walked to Yaxin and said: "My lord, the imperial concubine Yuan has sent someone again, and the maidservant has already refused."

Yaxin didn't even lift her eyelids: "I lost my temper again, and you have lost your temper a lot because of this matter."

"My servant just sees that holding the qin is not pleasing to the eye, and a court lady still thinks she is superior, and the people in our imperial dining room are also at her disposal?" The little maid said angrily.Since Yuan Chun knew that Ya Xin had become a teacher, she often came to talk to Ya Xin about the family affairs, but unfortunately Ya Xin kept making excuses that she was not free, and she had seen very few of them over the years, Yuan Chun still did not give up.

Yaxin was still busy with the work at hand: "It's also fortunate that you were assigned to the imperial dining room, with these master chefs protecting you, if you serve in front of the master, you will suffer a lot of beatings."

The little maid didn't care: "This is exactly what I want. I have been cooking here since I was a child. If other people don't want to come here, I am very happy. I have learned a lot of skills after staying here for a few years. Once you leave the palace, you can cook delicious food for your parents and younger brother."

"Xiao Miao is going to be released from the palace this time?" Yaxin suddenly remembered that this time the queen is pregnant again. broken.

The palace lady named Xiao Miao suddenly became happy: "Yes, I can leave at the end of the month, and the Empress Dowager and Empress Mercy also rewarded three months' monthly salary. Now I can bring some delicious food for my parents and younger brother when I go home. It's gone."

The corner of Yaxin's mouth raised a smile, and she looked at Xiao Miao: "What are your plans after leaving the palace?"

Xiao Miao thought for a while, shook her head and said: "My parents have always wanted me to go home and marry someone, but it's already past Double Ten, and getting married doesn't necessarily lead to a good family, so it's better not to get married and spend the past few years with the palace. Let's do some small business with the money rewarded by the masters."

"I thought it was a pity that your skills would not need to be wasted. I also have a lot of property under my name. If you want to, you can come and be a cook. Since you want to do some small business, then that's all, alas~ what a pity!" Yaxin pretended to be sorry and said.

Xiao Miao was excited, pulled Yaxin and asked directly: "My lord, is this true?"

Yaxin smiled faintly: "Really, then you are willing too?"

"Yes, of course the reason. My lord is really Xiao Miao's benefactor. Every time Xiao Miao has any difficulties, my lord can solve it." Xiao Miao also responded happily, regardless of calling herself a slave.

Yaxin said: "Then when you leave the palace, remember to come to me to get the recommendation letter, and I will explain it to the shop. Besides, I won't lose you. Your monthly income for this craft will be [-]% of your monthly income." Give."

"Your Excellency knows that you are a servant. Your Excellency will definitely not treat you badly. Your servant will thank you first." In fact, Xiao Miao knew in her heart that this was not just a right treatment, but a preferential treatment.

Yaxin left the imperial dining room with the cooked porridge, Mingrui and Minglu were almost done playing, Yaxin saw Baoqin waiting for her from a distance, knowing that she couldn't escape today, she called Ming After explaining a few words, Rui and Ming Lu's maidservants walked towards Baoqin consciously.

Baoqin hurriedly saluted: "Master Zi, our empress invites you to Fengzao Palace."

"Well, let's go." Yaxin said very flatly, Baoqin was actually very dissatisfied with Yaxin's attitude, but now the one who is asking for help is her own mother, so she can't say anything.

Seeing that Yuanchun was really helpless to Yaxin, and even more speechless, every time he started with the same greeting, either "How is the situation at home?", or "How is the old lady?", or "How is sister-in-law?" These kinds of words were followed by a pair of nonsense, and then turned to the main topic, but they were all hints. Yuan Chun thought that Ya Xin understood, but Ya Xin just used this to pretend to be stupid. Leng.

"Is sister-in-law still in good health recently?" Yuan Chun said, Yaxin complained silently in her heart, look, this sentence again.

"Everything is fine, you don't have to worry about it." Yaxin would pretend to be a log even if she was killed, and she never said much.

Yuan Chun then talked nonsense as usual before turning to the main topic, but this time he made it very clear.

"I heard that the empress dowager is not feeling well this morning. I happen to have a good ginseng here, but the empress dowager has decreed that the concubines in the harem should not be disturbed, so my sister-in-law will take it for me." Then he asked Baoqin to get it, And why did Yuanchun have this thing? Naturally, it wasn't a reward from the emperor to show his courtesy. It was brought to Yuanchun by Jia Mu when she entered the palace to see Yuanchun.

Of course, Yaxin would not refuse it outright. The person who took over saw that Yuanchun had nothing to do, so she left. After seeing the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she discovered the subtle change in the atmosphere between the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager and Keqing. The plan is done.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's family is finally reunited." Yaxin saluted and congratulated.

Keqing was already uncomfortable with being seen by the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother before, and when she saw Yaxin coming, she walked to Yaxin's side naturally, "Are you shy to recognize a father and mother?" Yaxin teased Keqing when she saw Keqing coming over One sentence.

Ke Qing stomped her feet lightly, but she was extremely ashamed. Seeing Ya Xin holding a small ginseng, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Mother, where did you come from?"

The Empress Dowager went out when she saw that Yaxin was inconvenient. After hearing Keqing's question, the Empress Dowager also looked at Yaxin curiously: "That's right, didn't you go to Concubine Yuan? .”

"The concubine Yuan asked me to send it to the empress dowager just now." Yaxin handed it to Nanny Chen. The queen mother also understood Yaxin's difficulty, so she just gave it to Nanny Chen casually, and then rewarded it at will Something about Yuanchun, since Han'er wants you Yuanchun to stand at the forefront, then Aijia doesn't mind pushing you.

The Empress Dowager was very casual towards Yaxin, and said very gratefully: "Today, your trick is to reunite our mother and daughter. It's too late to thank you. You also taught Rui'er and Li'er so well. Just now Rui'er personally Bringing white porridge to the Ai family, but the Ai family has never been so moved, I heard that Lu'er gave it to the queen, but the queen held her and cried for a long time."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. You trust me, Madam. Naturally, I have to be worthy of Madam's trust. Besides, the two princes are obedient and sensible, so they don't bother me." Yaxin said with a smile, "Besides, Keqing is my daughter-in-law. See You mother and daughter have been entangled for several years, so if you have this opportunity, why don't you add fuel to the flames."

The Empress Dowager said: "It's not bad. Ai's family thinks that in a few days, Han'er will issue an order to announce the world's recognition of Keqing."

But Qing hesitated after hearing this: "Mother, I don't want it anymore, we'll just admit it in private, lest those people from Jia's family want to use my name to go around and run amok again."

"Keqing~" the queen mother called out, seeing Keqing shaking her head firmly, she had to ask Yaxin for help, but Yaxin said: "Your Majesty, you should listen to Keqing first, isn't the emperor planning to run the Ningrong Second Mansion, if this is the time If you admit it, Keqing didn’t give them an umbrella, but we’ll talk about it when the matter is over.”

The queen mother heard Yaxin say the same, and she compromised after seeing Keqing's pleading expression.
