I sell morning tea in ancient times

Beside the gate of the garden, General Dingyuan's wife felt refreshed when she thought that the bastard had to look at the portrait under the pressure of Chun Xing.But after thinking about it, that kid can't even become a martial artist, he can't even compare to one of her maids, what a shame!

As long as he is like this, he still has the nerve to pick and choose.Maybe he likes others, but they still don't like him!It seems that she wants to have a good discussion with her husband, and then force him to make progress.It just so happened that His Majesty recently planned to open Enke for three years in a row, and he must let him come back from the exam. It will be convenient for him to be an official at that time, and it will be nice to talk about it.

After making up her mind, she continued to walk into the garden and saw Xianyan's daughter in red at a glance.Seeing how her daughter looked like a fish in water among the madam and young lady, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The son is not up to date, but the daughter is too up to date.In the previous court, they even fought in front of the princess.The emperor was dissatisfied, so he directly found an excuse to relegate the whole family to that poor place.Later, if it wasn't for my husband's insightful eyes to recognize talents, he resolutely took refuge in the new emperor, and their family would have to stay there at least ten years after the death of the subjugated emperor, which would harm several generations.

Ji Siqin saw General Dingyuan's wife at a glance, quickly walked over, and said with a smile: "Mother, all the ladies and ladies are here, and the tea and snacks are ready on the table."

General Dingyuan's wife nodded with a smile, and boasted: "Well done, let's go in quickly, don't keep the ladies waiting for too long."

Ji Siqin said obediently: "Yes." As soon as he placed General Dingyuan's wife's hand, he saw her frown slightly.Ji Siqin couldn't help feeling sad in her heart, since she was demoted, although her parents never beat and scolded her, they treated her strangely and only cared about her elder brother.She is smart and well-behaved, but her elder brother is incapable of writing or martial arts. To put it mildly, he is a waste!How can you compare with her?She was very upset.

At this time, General Dingyuan's wife was not used to it.She was originally the general's daughter, she likes to wield knives and guns the most, but later she got into a fight with General Dingyuan because of a misunderstanding, they fell in love with each other, and they got married.

Neither she nor her husband like red tape, and her son is even more careless.Unexpectedly, her daughter was different from them. Since she was a child, she aspired to be the No. [-] noble daughter in the capital, and urged them to invite a nanny back from the palace, and learned a lot of rules, some of which made her very uncomfortable.

Just like the rule of supporting hands, when Qin'er did this at the beginning, she said it a few times, but every time Qin'er looked aggrieved, saying that it was a symbol of status and an expression of her filial piety to her mother.After a few times, she had no choice but to resist being unaccustomed to follow her.

Ji Siqin didn't know what General Dingyuan's wife was thinking, so he suppressed the grievances and complaints in his heart, and walked into the garden with her with a smile.

in the garden.

When Shan Huiling and Qiu Xinxian saw the arrival of General Dingyuan's wife, they were both excited and tried their best to perform well.Therefore, when Mrs. Ji asked if someone would like to show off their talents, they quickly got up and said in unison: "Mrs. Hui, my servants can play the piano/dance a little bit, and I would like to show my ugliness."

Mrs. Ji was taken aback by their eagerness, and then smiled and said: "Okay, the qin dance is very suitable, but I am looking forward to it." She turned her head slightly, and said to the maid beside her: "Xue Fei , you take the two young ladies to the courtyard to prepare, if you need anything, don’t tell me, just take it and give it to the two young ladies.”

Xue Fei Fu body, replied: "Yes."

Ji Siqin beside Madam Ji covered her lips with a handkerchief, blocking the sneer at the corner of her mouth.The eagerness of these two idiots is really ridiculous.However, since they can't wait to climb the high branches and become famous in the capital, then she will grant them!It's just that it's not up to them to decide what name to raise.

Soon, Shan Huiling and Qiu Xinxian dressed up and went to the small table in the garden.

Shan Huiling was dressed in a bright yellow dance dress, which was radiant, making her little face more charming; Qiu Xinxian changed into a water blue dress, her little face became fairer, and she held a black guqin in her arms.

Qiu Xinxian put the guqin on the table, sat in front of the table, put her hands on the strings, and then nodded to Shan Huiling.

The fresh and melodious piano sound flowed like running water, and Shan Huiling danced with the piano sound.

It has to be said that Qiu Xinxian and Shan Huiling dared to be the first to show their talents, and they really have some skills.The two of them had obviously prepared a lot in advance. At this time, the piano and dance were matched, and the effect was excellent. Mrs. Ji's eyes showed appreciation.

"Poof!" "Hi!" Two discordant voices suddenly appeared.

Mrs. Ji frowned slightly, and when she listened carefully, the voice came from the stage.

Qiu Xinxian wanted to play again, but the "poof" sounded again, louder this time. "Zheng!" In shame and anger, she directly broke a string.

"Hic! Hiccup! Hiccup!" Shan Huiling couldn't stop hiccupping, which made her gasp, so she quickly stopped to catch her breath. "belch!"

Everyone in the audience covered their noses and looked at the stage with strange eyes. Familiar ladies and ladies whispered to each other, whispering and chuckling from time to time.

Qiu Xinxian and Shan Huiling were so ashamed and indignant that they ran off the stage as if fleeing, and Mrs. Chaoji ran out of General Dingyuan's mansion straight away.

When something like this happened at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Mrs. Ji's face was not good. "Miss Qiu and Miss Shan are both good children. I don't know if they ate up their stomachs today and made such a fuss. This matter concerns the reputation of the two young ladies. I hope you don't want to spread it to outsiders."

The wives and ladies all said: "Naturally." As for what happened in private, it is natural that what should be passed on should continue to be passed on, and what should be discussed should continue to be discussed. Anyway, there are so many wives, ladies, maids and servants present, and Madam Ji doesn't know who passed it on. .

The Hundred Flowers Banquet ended in such a hasty way.

Ji Guangxuan in the pavilion let out a cheer, but Mrs. Ji's face sank.

night.

Mrs. Ji summoned Ji Siqin's personal maid, Lan Shuang.

"Lan Shuang, let me ask you, do you know anything about Miss Qiu and Miss Shan today?"

Lan Shuang replied obediently after hearing the words: "The servant only knows about Miss Qiu and Miss Shan because she has eaten up her stomach."

"Then why did they eat their stomachs badly? Where did the unclean things come from?"

Lan Shuang shook her head, "I don't know. But the tea and snacks in the Hundred Flowers Banquet are brought directly from the kitchen, so many ladies and ladies are fine after eating them, so there must be no problem. Maybe they ate them outside General Dingyuan's mansion Unclean stuff."

Seeing how tactful she was, Mrs. Ji simply made her point clear.She put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, fixed her eyes on Lan Shuang, and asked: "After Miss Today gave you a few instructions, you left for a while, where did you go during that time?" ?”

Lan Shuang calmed down and said with a smile: "Miss lost her purse, fearing that some dubious people would pick it up, so the slaves went looking for it. Many people have seen it. If Madam doesn't believe it, you can Call to ask."

Seeing her determined appearance, Mrs. Ji knew that she couldn't ask any questions.She only felt a severe headache, so she waved her hand and let Lan Shuang go down.

It's nothing if I didn't find a suitable daughter-in-law for this Hundred Flowers Banquet, it's just a pity for those two young ladies.Qin'er had conflicts with them, she knew that.But in her opinion, it's just a small fight between children, just a few more stabs.

Once the reputation of these two young ladies is ruined this time, not only will they be ridiculed and talked about from time to time, but it will also be difficult for them to marry in the future.If Qin'er really used this vicious method to retaliate against them, intending to ruin their lives, then she would really be chilled.Their Ji family can be poor and desolate, but the family style must be upright, and the Ji family must be innocent and do things in an upright manner.

I just hope this is really an accident.

Qinfang Courtyard.

Ji Siqin half-lyed on the beauty bed, and the maid behind her carefully wrung out her hair.

Seeing Lan Shuang came back, she asked leisurely, "What did mother say to you?"

Lan Shuang recounted the details of those conversations one by one.

Ji Siqin sneered, "It seems that my mother has confirmed me? But there is no evidence, what can she do to me?" After being demoted, she had a lot of resentment towards Mrs. Ji, which she barely suppressed during the day, and at night It all came out.

Lan Shuang lowered her head, not daring to answer.

Impatiently, she waved her hand and drove all the maids out of the room, and then waved to Lan Shuang.

Lan Shuang leaned over obediently.

Satisfied, Ji Siqin whispered a few words and told her to do it tomorrow.

After Lan Shuang took the order, Ji Siqin stroked her black and smooth long hair, and murmured: "Before you were noble, I couldn't do anything to you, and even affected the whole family. Now that the feng shui is turning, I will definitely kill you." If you fall into the mud, you will never turn over!"

It was another early morning, and the cool wind slowly blew in, refreshing people's spirits.

Tao Zhiyun is making colorful crystal bags.

The first is the face-to-face.Mix the orange powder and starch evenly, add hot water to blanch until cooked, knead until pure and smooth, then set aside for later use. *

Then make the stuffing.Dice celery, carrots, shrimps, mushrooms, fungus and other vegetarian dishes, chop the pork; add salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, and chicken essence to the vegetarian dishes and mix well, then add pork and sesame oil and mix well. *

Knead the dough into long strips, cut into suitable size, and then roll each small dough into a thin crust.Wrap the stuffing in the skin, knead it into a bird cage shape, turn it upside down and put it in a steamer to steam, and the colorful crystal bag is made. *

The outer skin of the out-of-the-cage colorful crystal bag is translucent, like a crystal, and the vegetables of different colors faintly show their colors through the outer skin, which looks like a colorful crystal ball.Bite down, the outer skin is slightly elastic and tough, the rich vegetable and pork aroma fills the mouth, and there is some rich juice inside, which is extremely delicious.

Meteor exclaimed: "Miss, this colorful crystal bag is so pretty!"

"Meteor, if I remember correctly, it seems that every time there is a new refreshment, that's what you said." Tao Zhiyun looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of misery.

Hearing this, Meteor said confidently, "It's just beautiful."

Tao Zhiyun shook her head helplessly, and said with a smile, "Since it's so pretty, do you want to try it?"

"Yes!" A big smile appeared on Meteor's face, she likes to taste new refreshments the most.

Another gust of wind blew, and the peach blossoms outside the window were in full bloom. From a distance, it looked like a haze.
