[Red Mansions] The promotion of the female history of salted fish

In February, after several days of bright sunshine, the snow piled up in the courtyard finally showed a tendency to melt, but the trees were still bare.Yunling finished today's calligraphy practice task, washed the brush and hung it on the pen stand, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Let's put pots in the kitchen? Winter is the season to eat pots, and it's almost over." Looking up at the sky, Yunling suddenly became interested, "Vegetables and meat are not important, just serve what you have. The dipping ingredients should be green onion, coriander, minced garlic, beef sauce and sesame paste, all of which are indispensable.” Yunling said while feeling a little nostalgic, all the hot pot restaurants in her previous life had three or four rows of dipping ingredients for customers to choose, she The prepared dipping sauce is delicious, but unfortunately there are not enough materials in this life, and I can’t do it myself, so eating hot pot is less fun.

Yuyan responded, and went out of the bedroom door to send a message to the little eunuch.Chunliu was on the side, and hurriedly stopped her, "I'll go, Ruzi can't do without sister here." Then he went out from the main room and went to the place where Pan Youren usually stayed.

When I entered the room, I was listening to Xia Chan and Yun Ling talking, "...they are from the third to fifth day of the junior high school. The empress sent someone to call. The people in our yard can just go over."

Yuyan was about to ask the two what they were talking about, when she heard the little girl outside say, "Just now a sister from the main courtyard came to send a message, let our young master send someone over to get the monthly regulations for this month."

"I really don't talk about it," Yunling smiled, turned around and told Xia Chan casually, "Then you go, the girl over at the main courtyard also knows you. Don't dawdle when you come back, and take the moonlight of the servants down. Put all the money away."

Xia Chan was taken aback for a moment, then saluted Yun Ling, turned around and left.

Seeing Yuyan enter the room, Yunling smiled, "Has Chunliu gone to look for Pan Youren?"

Yuyan nodded, seeing Qiushuang and Dongxue standing far away, she said anxiously, "My lord, you are too calm, Your Highness hasn't come for more than half a month." Since the Lantern Festival, His Highness seems to have finally As soon as the task was completed, Pan Youren inquired about the news, saying that His Highness was still the same as before, as soon as he got home, he ran to Cui Fangfei's Fanghua Courtyard, Yuyan was so anxious.

Now there are three Ruzi in the mansion, Wang Ruzi has a second elder brother, Feng Ruzi has a second sister, they are the only Ruzi, they don't even have any children.If His Highness forgets at this time, then the days to come will be sad.

"Why don't we go out for a stroll after dinner?" Yuyan curled her lips, hearing that His Royal Highness came home late yesterday, and Concubine Cui went to welcome her to the second gate.Yuyan doesn't ask her little master to see His Highness every day, but she always wants it once every ten days, right?What is going on now?

Yunling smiled, "No hurry, spring will begin soon, the plaque in my yard is still empty, I also want to plant some gardenias between the front hall and the main room..." Yunling unfolded the small courtyard she painted On the rice paper used to practice calligraphy, the word "Guan Tong" is written in the middle, which looks very eye-catching.

In the prince's mansion, Yunling is not the only one who is not favored?Wang Ruzi and Feng Ruzi are fine now, and they can still hold their breath, but Concubine Li is somewhat regretful.

It turned out that after Yang Peishan married the Fifth Prince, three or four years had passed since then, and now the elder brothers and sisters in the mansion were all born at that time.Until five years ago, after Concubine Cui entered the mansion, His Highness seemed to have been charmed. Not only did he use the word "Fang" in the name of Concubine Cui, he allocated Fanghua Courtyard, which was second only to the main courtyard, to Fanghua Courtyard. Concubine Cui lives, and even spends more than ten days at Concubine Cui's place every month.

You know, His Royal Highness's palace affairs have become more and more busy in recent years, at least ten days a month he rests in the outer courtyard.And in the 20 days since entering the backyard, Concubine Cui alone took up more than half of it. How can we prevent everyone in the backyard from panting?

Others have pantothenic acid, but Yang Peishan, the princess and concubine, does not.At that time, concubine Li, who was still working as a second-class maid by her side, saw that the concubine was arranging trivial matters in the mansion as usual and making good friends with the wives outside the mansion, and felt that the concubine must be holding back her heartache to prevent the servants from seeing it.Thinking of the gentle temper of the fifth prince towards the concubine before Concubine Cui entered the mansion, Concubine Li finally couldn't help but jumped out and said that she wanted to "share worries" for her young lady.

She believes that she has good eyebrows and eyes, so she will definitely be favored.Thinking about it now, at that time, the empress seemed to be smiling but not smiling, did she already guess her current life?

Thinking of this, Concubine Li couldn't help feeling a little bit resentful towards Miao Yunling. Although after becoming His Highness's concubine, the empress didn't treat her as if she was one of her own, but her background here can still slightly deter these people. It's a villain who climbs high and tramples low in the house.Now that Empress has Miao Ruzi who is fresher and of better background, she is insignificant.

Since the Lantern Festival and Concubine Cui's clothes have collided, Concubine Cui has been picking on her from time to time. The charcoal fire food and drink are not going well these days.If it was in the past, the villain would not have turned his back so quickly, but who made her no longer the "No. 1" concubine of the main courtyard?Everyone has seen the attitude of the empress when Miao Ruzi entered the mansion. In contrast, don't you find that the empress is indifferent to concubine Li?

In the past, among the women in the backyard, none of the concubine had a good relationship with her, and she always acted impartially. She could still fool others, "The concubine didn't take special care of me to appear fair", but now, hehe.

Thinking of the clothes for the Lantern Festival, Concubine Li felt guilty for a moment.Miao Ruzi didn't think much about it before, but the empress must have noticed that she was wearing lotus-colored clothes on purpose that day, in order to contrast with that man.Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned into a collision with Concubine Cui, and Concubine Cui rectified it.This is also the reason why the empress is standing by and watching these days, right?One is that Concubine Cui's actions are subtle. Although she doesn't like eating and drinking, the food in the lunch box is indeed a concubine's portion, and there is no bad food on purpose, it's just cold; the second is that the empress probably wants to tell her, Don't provoke Miao Ruzi in the future...

I don't know how that man curry favor with the empress, Concubine Li felt angry.

Yun Ling didn't know that someone's name had changed from orange red to light red, and she was sitting at the dining table, looking at the steaming hot pot served in the kitchen, whetting her appetite.The hot pot is a one-piece pot with a brass bottom and two layers.On the top is the cooking pot, and on the lower floor there are small "stove doors" and "chimneys", which are places for burning charcoal, which are very close to modern charcoal hot pots.

Yunling said that vegetables and meat are served freely, but the kitchen doesn't dare to be really casual.The best lamb meat is thinly sliced ​​and neatly stacked on the plate, with bean skin, yuba skin, frozen tofu, bean sprouts, yam, lettuce, eggs, pumpkin, oyster mushrooms, fish balls, and so on. a table.

Yunling often eats spicy pot in modern times, but this kind of milky white soup base is not very common.But the bowl of soup that was served before she started to cook the dishes made her really fragrant - this is the real soup made from the bones and slow fire.

Yunling had a very happy meal, especially the fish balls, which are all handmade, and the fish content is quite high.After the meal, she told Yuyan, "Let the kitchen make another fish ball soup at night." It was her childhood dream to eat fish without being picky, and now it has come true.

Seeing that Yunling casually burned the waste paper she wrote while practicing calligraphy with a charcoal basin, and then went to look down at the design drawing of the small courtyard, Yuyan had no choice but to back out lightly.After adding two more strokes to the design drawing, Yunling went to Dongxue to practice tying the net.Speaking of Dongxue, before she only said that she was good at embroidery, she was really modest. She was clearly an all-around player, she could do webbing, embroidery, and weaving sword tassels. Yunling fell into a weaving battle these days.

In her previous life, Yunling liked to weave bracelets, tassels and the like when she was in school. The teachers and parents said it was "not doing business properly".In this life, this is a woman's "proper occupation", and Yunling realized that it is not a pleasant thing to weave for three or four days in a row. The only advantage over embroidery is that it is not so hurtful to the eyes. At night, Yunling can't do it at night, but Yunling obviously can't do it now.As soon as it got dark, Yunling threw her sewing basket aside.

This person just didn't talk about it. During the day, Yuyan said that she hadn't seen the fifth prince for more than half a month, and the fifth prince came over at night.After dinner, the fifth prince wandered over to Yunling's small study.I wanted to practice calligraphy or painting to exercise my muscles and bones, but found that there were five or six geographical travel notes with bookmarks on the table in Yunling's small study. In such an environment, the "Book of Songs" was very conspicuous.

"Why are you reading this?" The fifth prince paused with his hand reaching for the pen holder, and the fifth prince smiled and picked up the book that was lying on the desk.

"Your Majesty said earlier that this yard is for me to think of a name for myself. Isn't it the beginning of spring soon, and I'm going to send someone to make a plaque," Yunling said with a troubled look, "I heard that Sister Cui's yard came from Chuci, No, turn up the "Book of Songs" and take a look, maybe you can get a good name. Otherwise, Your Highness will help my concubine think of one?"

"Jing's daughter is a prostitute, let me take care of it. Tong Guan Youwei, saying she is beautiful." The fifth prince looked at the page that was spread out, and chuckled, "It suits you, so why don't we call it Guan Tongyuan?" .”

Yunling's face was slightly red, she lowered her head, and said in a coquettish tone, "Your Highness!"

The Fifth Prince laughed, and entered the bedroom with Yunling in his arms.

As soon as the fifth prince left the next day, Yunling sent someone to tell the name of the courtyard and the steward who was in charge of plaques and other things.Yang Peishan frowned when she knew that Yunling named the courtyard "Guantong Courtyard", and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Isn't it too straightforward? You took it yourself?"

Tongguan refers to the pen used by female historians to record the morals of concubines.The name of Yunling's courtyard is almost written on the gate of the courtyard, the fifth prince must feel Zhuang Concubine's "kindness" from time to time.

Yunling looked innocent, "The name of the courtyard is given by His Highness, and I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics seriously. Yesterday, His Highness read this poem to me. I know that being shy is already smart, okay? The rest is none of my business." What's up?"
