Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

Wan Zhen'er was both thirsty and hungry, it's not that she didn't have tea, but she didn't dare to drink too much.One is that it is inconvenient to relieve oneself in other people's residences, and the other is that you are afraid of delaying things.

Before coming here, I specially dressed up. I wore a red jacket and a brown pleated skirt to look dignified.The four-year-old child hadn't grown her hair yet. Wan Zhen'er was caught by her parents when she was about to leave the house. She shaved her hair clean, leaving only a few thin bangs and sideburns. The hair is long and black, but the bangs and sideburns are still soft and smooth.Now her hair has grown a little, but it's just short, fluffy hair, less than half an inch, and she looks like a boy with a thick head and a thick head.

After waiting for more than two hours, someone finally came and called: "Jia Gui, come in with the children, the master wants to see you. Be quick, you will be responsible when you see the master, don't talk nonsense, and don't be afraid. The master is most annoying when people are afraid of you." Him." Our master thinks that he is kind-hearted and kind-eyed like a male Guanyin, but in fact he is not like that at all.

Jia Gui quietly handed over a tael of silver, his heart dripping with blood: "Oh, thank you very much." He said again: "Miss Wan, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Going forward along the narrow path, after walking a long way, suddenly turned into a yard, walked through the verandah, and walked around a small hall, smelling the fragrance of golden chrysanthemum and sweet-scented osmanthus, and seeing hibiscus According to the fence, impatiens are planted on both sides of the vertical flower gate.

Wan Zhen'er said quietly: "Uncle Jia, this place is so big~"

"Shh, don't talk."

Boy: "Children, the youngest here is big. The servants who have just entered the yard dare not walk alone, for fear of getting lost."

"Meow~Woo~" A raccoon cat led a big white cat, each with a squeaking mouse in its mouth, and swaggered over.

Then a dog barking was heard in the distance.

Walking along the back garden with ten steps and one view, I saw a man in a beautiful red robe sitting alone in front of the delicious food.

On the table of the Eight Immortals of Huanghuali, the bowl is as white as jade, the plate is like a bright moon, and the golden jug is like a ball of fire under the sunlight, and people can't keep their eyes open.

Without raising his head, Zhang Shouyi took out eight pieces of crabs and ate them with ginger vinegar.He rolled up the sleeves of the silk scarf robe, which was worth thousands of gold, revealing his white and hairless arms, eating crabs.

There is a small red clay stove on the ground, and there is a casserole with two small bamboo steamers on the casserole, and a pot of crabs tied with straw beside it.The crab is very big, not counting the legs, but the belly is also as big as the tray of the tureen. Steam one crab in a steamer for a little more than a quarter of an hour, which is just enough for the master to eat.

The golden jug was placed in the golden lotus warming bowl. Zhang Fu crossed his hands and watched him eat. He couldn't stand it anymore and poured wine from the jug: "Master, you have eaten three crabs. Drink some wine to warm your stomach." .”

"The taste of this wine is a bit strange, what did you add?"

Zhang Fu said: "Put some golden chrysanthemum petals and sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, all of which are in accordance with the solar terms."

"Hey, don't come here with these sour and fake vinegar things! Our family doesn't like flowers! Sieve the best Jinhua wine and eat it." Zhang Shouyi became more and more angry when he thought about it. If you ask our family to get a pretty girl to come in, wouldn't that make our family feel sorry for the empress?

I don’t know if you’re stupid or what, anyway, you bring people in first, if it’s ugly, it’s fine, if the beautifully dressed little water onion looks like a big girl, then don’t blame me for being cruel, and keep people to enjoy yourself.

Hear the sound of light footsteps.

"Master, someone brought it."

"Greetings to Master Zhang."

"Greetings to Master Zhang." The second voice was an immature voice, and there was no timidity in the voice, but it was very curious.

Wan Zhen'er thinks this place is really...fun, she can't think of any other words, she just thinks that the yard is so big, hide-and-seek must be very interesting.There are so many flowers. I just saw a lot of big grapes on the grape trellis. The flowers are blooming like brocade, which is very beautiful.

Only then did Zhang Shouyi raise his head. His face was gloomy, but he was overjoyed when he saw the little girl.She thought it was some idiots, full of wishful thinking, wanting to send her daughter to the palace, to be a favorite concubine by virtue of her youth and beauty, so as to glorify her family.But this kid has a round face and big ears, bushy eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he looks energetic, and his arms and stomach are full and strong in the small jacket.This appearance is definitely not suitable for a favorite concubine. If a boy may be able to be a guard commander, but a girl looks so practical, honest and strong, she may be able to be a nun and aunt in a few years. Now the nun next to Queen Mother Zhang that's all.

He put down the small hammer, took a sip of the good wine that had been reheated and sifted: "Oh, this is the first time our family has seen a person who spends money to send his daughter into the palace and is really a 'maid'. What's your name, kid? "

"My name is Wan Zhen'er." Wan Zhen'er raised her head subconsciously and smiled, staring at the bowl on the farthest side of the table with burning eyes. It was a white bowl, very thin and as lustrous as jade.The table was very high, she couldn't see what was in the bowl, she could only see the faint pieces floating in the soup, and secretly guessed what it was.

Zhang Shouyi saw that she was graceful, and her voice was okay, but she was not counting Yanyu Yingying, and she articulated very clearly: "How old are you?"

"I'm four years old."

Zhang Shouyi didn't think it was credible, seeing that she looked like a five-year-old: "What are you looking at? Staring at our house with big eyes, huh?" Such a young kid knows what an eunuch is?

Wan Zhen'er licked her lips, not at all embarrassed: "Master Zhang, what are you eating?"

"Hahahaha, the domineering Iron Armored General."

"Crabs! This table is full of crabs?" Wan Zhen'er's eyes became brighter.

Zhang Shouyi sneered, and he was satisfied in his heart. Empress Sun wanted a few young palace maids. They were fun to look at, and they would be safer to use after raising them. When the prince gave birth to a little grandson, he could arrange them with confidence.If someone recommends a court lady, and let them show their face, this little girl comes at the right time, she is also good-looking, and she is also smart. She can guess a riddle when I say it, and she is not afraid.

Tsk, I don't know who raised such a brave and clever girl, as long as she is more beautiful, she will be blessed when she grows up and is sent to the womb of the queen to be a concubine.

"From your accent, are you from Shandong?"

"Yes, I am from Qingzhou."

"Our Empress Sun is from Zouping, Shandong, and our family is also from Shandong." Zhang Shouyi almost settled his mind, and then remembered that Empress Sun would sometimes give leftovers to the maids: "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry. Still thirsty..."

Zhang Shouyi hooked his hands: "Come here."

Wan Zhen'er ran over with a rattling sound, the sound of her walking was heavy—bang bang bang.

Looking up at him, uh, I forgot what the middle-aged man's last name was, and said vaguely, "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Zhang Shouyi glanced at the hesitant and worried middle-aged man: "Zhang Fu."

"Master, you order."

"Take him down for dinner."

Zhang Fu guessed that the master should be talking about Jia Gui.Just act according to my guess: "Jia Gui, follow me."

Jia Gui hurriedly bowed, but hesitated for a moment, this old eunuch won't do anything to Sister Wan, right?

He thought about it for a second, after entering the palace, it would fall into his hands, Miss Wan is young and ugly, um, it doesn't matter.

Zhang Shouyi casually picked up a bowl of soup on the table. There were yellow and white flakes floating in the clear soup, which felt warm to the touch.He casually stirred it with a spoon: "This is called Jinyu Soup, sliced ​​yams, sliced ​​chestnuts, boiled in chicken broth, it will be soft and glutinous and sweet. I'll reward you." I don't like this stuff the most.

"Thank you." Wan Zhen'er thanked crisply, took it with both hands, and swallowed a large spoonful.

The soup is fresh, the chestnuts are soft and glutinous, and the yam is the same thing. Generally speaking, it is very delicious.

Zhang Shouyi saw that she was eating well, she didn't spill soup and she didn't leak water, she didn't make a sound, she seemed to have a tutor, and she didn't need to teach the etiquette of eating and living.When she was standing and eating, she took a cold breath and said, "Come into the palace with me tomorrow morning."

The little girl didn't panic, she swallowed the food in her mouth steadily and said, "That's great."

Wan Zhen'er stayed in the mansion, changed her clothes again, and saved it to bring her into the palace to meet the queen tomorrow.

Jia Guishi ate some fish without knowing the taste, met her, and said goodbye: "Sister Wan lives alone, so be careful in everything. Don't eat randomly, behave in everything, behave properly, and be kind to others. .If you can serve the empress, you must be faithful, talk less, and don't talk about others behind your back. Master Zhang has helped you, so you must be worthy of him."

When he said a word, Wan Zhen'er nodded once: "Uncle Jia, don't worry, I will remember everything."

Zhang Shouyi asked Zhang Fu: "What do you think of this little girl? I have never seen a child from other people's family, and this talent is not bad in the palace."

"It's not bad." Zhang Fu smiled and said, "The donkey-hide gelatin sent here is not bad. I'll steam it for you to eat, or make Guyuan ointment? Make donkey-hide gelatin candied dates?"

"Hmm... Gu Yuan Ointment."

"Yes." Zhang Fu said again: "Actually, I think Jia Gui is a good person. The three carts and one sister were all entrusted to him by Wan Gui. He gave our family a lot of gifts and devoted himself to a sister. Do your best. If you are not a loyal and honest person, you would have given away or sold the little girl, everything is your own."

Zhang Shouyi nodded slightly: "That's not bad. You go to Guo's mansion and ask Lao Guo to send someone to the Ministry of Officials to help me investigate Wangui in Qingzhou, Shandong."

"Master, he is a petty official. The Ministry of Officials only records the appointment and dismissal of officials, so it should not be found."

"Go and check." If you can't find it, it's right. If you can find it out, it means that there is something wrong with the Wan family.Our family doesn't believe that such a brave little girl can be raised in the family of a humble official.

"Yes."

They didn't know that when Wan Zhen'er was at home, she often fought with her brother.

People are not the same, Wan Zhener is not only physically strong, but also mentally and emotionally strong.

Although I am a little homesick, I am not afraid of the strange future at all, I am not worried, I am just curious about how beautiful the palace is.

I had a very happy dinner. I ate the dishes clean. After eating dinner until night, I washed my face and went to bed.Sleep soundly.
