"It can be seen that there is really no way out for someone born in this kind of family." The court lady smiled coldly, "If Shen Lizhi knew something secretly, he would definitely feel that he was not worthy. Even if it were the real Sheng Qiu Xiao, The Sheng family may not really shed a tear for her... Oh, there is someone who should be able to cry. I met Qiu Yun on the way back today, and she is not doing well either."
"Everyone is suffering, and no one can excuse themselves from what happened this time." Mrs. Mo Zhang turned her huanghuali beads in her hand and sighed. It's unlucky to get married, but good lady, you believe in the Three Pure Ones, and there is a god in your head, so you must do your duty."
Shen Yuan nodded and said: "I understand that everything depends on karma. Shen Lizhi could have survived, but now he is like this, it is indeed because of my pushing hand. I also listened, she has younger brothers and sisters to support, and her family Sheng Qiu Xiao only entered the brothel when she was in trouble. With Sheng Qiuxiao's little savings, it would take several years to redeem herself. What can I help? If there is a place where I can help, I will not really sit back and do nothing. "
"Miss is willing to say so, I feel relieved." Mrs. Mo Zhang poured a cup of tea for Shen Yuan, the moist warm water steam rose up, making the beauty's eyebrows slightly blurry, "I have the intention to attack, dinner You all didn't use it happily, Shuizhi went to the kitchen and asked to prepare midnight snacks, and they will be sent to the garden for you later, and ask Feiyue and his wife to accompany you back."
The oiran pondered for a moment and smiled helplessly: "I won't go there today. After hearing about this, it's quite scary to think about it. The garden is empty and it won't be good if I can't sleep anymore."
"It's up to you. Ask Shui Zhi to tell the kitchen that the food will be delivered upstairs. I'm really tired today, so you can go on your own." Mrs. Mo Zhang said. Shen Yuan stood up in response, felt blessed, and went out quietly. Back off.
Feiyue and Feiyun were waiting outside. Xu Xiao in the room of the Pavilion Master's wife went to work separately. Qiu Xiao didn't know where she went. Shen Yuan had nothing to do for a while, so he thought of going downstairs to take a look. Mrs. Sheng, who had been beaten, had just walked down the stairs a few steps when she met Xiao Ju and asked the courtesan to stay: "Miss Qiu Xiao went to the stove and said that she was too tired to finish the dinner. She felt guilty, so she cooked it herself. Please order a late night snack, Miss, please accept it."
"Tsk..." The oiran lady couldn't help laughing: "This girl Qiu Xiao, it's really interesting. She got a slap on her hand and didn't know whether to apply any medicine, so she was in a hurry to make a midnight snack. Okay, I accept this sentiment. Come on, go tell your sister that if you can, come upstairs to my room and have a glass of wine with me. She and I haven't spoken alone for a while."
Of course, wine is omitted. Just dissolve the rose marinade and mix it with hot fresh milk. It is suitable for appetizing or warming up at night. When Shengqiu Xiao came to the stove, Sister-in-law He had already started the fire and wrapped it. I made the oiran's favorite wontons, stuffed with tender winter bamboo shoots, mixed with golden fresh corn, and used beef from the Zhang family across the street as the base. When cooked, I dripped a little vinegar and sprinkled a few small green vegetables. It was a pleasant green color. Bite it and it will make your lips and teeth fragrant.
Next to her, Xinghua helped shape the fish balls, and half of the winter melon had already been peeled, cut with a knife and placed on the chopping board, waiting to be put into the pot. Qiu Xiao then volunteered, heated up the oil in the pot, and slid in the green onion, ginger and garlic that the girl had prepared. At the end, stir-fry a few times quickly to bring out the aroma, then take it out and throw it away. Add the winter melon and stir-fry it into juice, pour it with good chicken soup and cook the fish balls. Soon the delicious flavor comes out and fills the whole kitchen.
Sister-in-law He had good eyes and saw Sheng Qiuxiao's red palms. She asked her why. Sheng just smiled sheepishly and said that she accidentally fell asleep and knocked over the hot teapot. Xinghua found a clean handkerchief and put it on
Wring it out in the well water until it is cold, and ask Miss Akishino to apply it.
Xiao Ju got the instructions from the oiran lady and quickly came back from the front. Sister-in-law He's fresh bamboo shoots and corn wontons were already out of the pot. They were plump and light, with white pieces floating on the soup surface. They were sprinkled with chopped sesame seeds for a slight garnish, and they were immediately covered in them.
In the food box, the stewed fish balls with winter melon still need some heat. Sheng Qiu Xiao has already brought Xinghua to help, and she and Sister-in-law He are making another tofu skin buns.
"It's a pity that our lady doesn't eat mushrooms, so she won't be able to get a trace of them," Qiu Xiao said with a smile while wrapping her bean curd, "otherwise, this chicken and melon seed stuffing would be especially delicious if shiitake mushrooms were used instead of shallots and chopped finely.
."
"Isn't that right? The old lady still remembers that once upon a time, there was a new cook on our stove. He didn't know the lady's taste and didn't know how to ask. He made mushrooms and shaomai in a daze, which turned off the master's appetite. For the lady's sake,
this
Taboo, I don’t usually buy mushrooms in the kitchen, for fear of accidentally making a mistake." Sister-in-law He took over and carefully opened the lid of the pot, took a long-handled copper spoon and stirred the fish ball soup: "Okay, Xinghua, take it.
Come here with a big cup."
The tables have been set up in the oiran's room, just waiting for the midnight snack to be brought in. Sheng Qiu Xiao's hand can't carry the food box, Xinghua and Xiaoju do it for her, while Sister-in-law He stays in the kitchen and takes the people to clean up. In fact, there is no time at this moment.
It wasn't too late, Lengxiang Pavilion was at its busiest, and the singing and dancing of birds outside did not affect the appetite of the young pavilion master at all. Shen Yuan felt a little hungry after drinking half a cup of milk and rose tea.
Thinking about it carefully, even though the dinner tasted the same, it didn't seem to hurt my stomach. It can be seen that the amount of food does not completely count. It also depends on who you are facing and whether there are other things besides eating.
The madam really understood that her daughter should be punished when she deserved it. After remembering the lesson, the matter would be over, and she would never be unfairly treated in terms of food and clothing.
Sheng Qiuxiao seemed to be even more pitiful. She had been standing waiting and had no chance to take a few serious bites of food. Shen Yuan saw this in his eyes and asked her to sit down as soon as she entered the door. It was enough to have a few maids to serve each other. Fei
Yun's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He understood his master's intention and gave Qiu Xiao the first bowl of soup.
"It's Miss Sheng's intention. My young lady just said the day before yesterday that she wanted to eat hot fish ball soup. If she doesn't follow up, it will be served." Feiyun smiled, and then gave Shen Yuan more soup, and also served the small wontons to her Oiran.
The lady is close: "Miss, if you want to eat that kind of thing, please make your own decision. It tastes great to me, slave."
Lengxiang Oiran held the spoon, knowing that if she didn't act first, Sheng Qiuxiao would definitely not be able to eat it, so she also chose winter melon stewed fish balls, and nodded her chin at Mrs. Sheng: "Don't look at me now, eat quickly. Madam
Today is all for lecturing me, so you can’t have any quarrel with me."
"My sister doesn't dare, please don't worry." Sheng Qiuxiao quickly apologized and said, "In front of Madam, everything Qiu Xiao said was from the bottom of my heart. Even if Madam is not upset, I have already thought about it and will raise Lizhi for her."
