MTL - Dali Temple Small Dining Room-Chapter 364 Stewed Pork Vermicelli (6)
Chapter 364 Pork Stew Vermicelli (6)
"Ai's family asked you to go to Liwei, to beat those small shoppers and cooks who have a lot of oil and water, what are you doing?" The palace man on the ground scolded, "How do you do things?"
Kneeling on the ground, Chai San, the newly-appointed head of the internal affairs office, kowtowed and admitted his mistake again: "I know my mistake!" When he raised his head again, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
This sweat, some scared and some hot.
Chang'an is not like some places in the south where the seasons are like spring. The winter in Chang'an is very cold, he just came in from the outside, and the sky was still covered with thin snow, so he was wearing a thick jacket.
But as soon as she entered the dormitory of the concubine, she felt a "boom", and a warm wave hit her face.
This is not surprising, there are a total of seven or eight burning charcoal basins in this palace, no matter whether it is His Majesty or the Empress, no palace has more charcoal basins than this number.
His Majesty has always been filial to the concubine, and the rules and other things can go up to others, even himself, but not to this concubine who has the grace of nurturing.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the concubine who was quite inconspicuous and unpopular in the late emperor's harem has transformed into a high-ranking concubine.
Chai San looked at the concubine who was lying on the upper half of the bed. A few maidservants on the ground next to the concubine were kneeling on the ground and wiping the milk that had been spilled on the ground. Beside the milk was a rolled up thin blanket. There is also a thin blanket of similar design and color.
He recognized that these were thin blankets from Persia at the beginning of the year. There were two in total, but he did not expect that all of them were sent to the concubine, and His Majesty and Queen did not leave a single one.
Not to mention that the concubine used such a rare thing so carelessly, even spilling milk on it.
Chai Sanrao boasted that once he was in power, it would be a waste of money and things if he had more money, but compared to this concubine, he could be called "thrifty".
Chai Sanzi is not dissatisfied with the current power in exchange for the care of the past. He has done something wrong now, and he should accept the punishment.
There's only... one thing he wants to make clear.
"Concubine, I'm a dull servant. I did mention that the chef of Dali Temple came here to beat you!" Chai San kowtowed, and said, "In front of the government offices of various ministries in the capital, beat them 'tossing around', looking into Qian's eyes." Already!"
"Bastard!"
With a sound of anger, a teacup full of milk hit Chai San's side again, the milk was boiling hot and splashed on his face, the hot milk met the freshly scratched scar, and Chai San gasped in pain , but resisted the pain, did not dare to say anything, just bowed his head and was scolded.
"The Ai family asked you to beat the public kitchen of Dali Temple, but you didn't let you offend all the public kitchens in the capital!" Concubine Jing scolded, "It's up to you to hand over the ingredients to the internal affairs office for dispatch after you go there. Did you come up with it? Even being greedy should be done step by step. Do you want to scold Ai's family by doing this?"
After finishing speaking, he smashed the few memorials he was pressing on Chai San's body: "Here, look, look, those officials are like dogs who smell, and they come up to Aijia A bark!"
Kneeling on the ground and being scolded for a while, Chai San glanced at the few memorials that fell beside him. He didn't need to read the content of the memorial, but he knew that there would be no good things in it when he saw the signature at the bottom of the memorial.
Looking at those memorials, Chai San felt a little wronged: he, Chai San, was a villain, and he was greedy, so greedy, so obvious, that he would not do anything that was too stupid to be cured. This matter...wasn't Concubine Jing instigated it?
No matter how wronged you are, you have to wait until you have honestly been scolded by Concubine Jing before you speak.
After Concubine Jing finished cursing at the top, Chai Sandai was about to speak, but the servant girl who was sitting at the tail and beating the legs of Concubine Jing spoke before him.
"Ms. Taifei," said the maidservant, "it's Xinyue's fault, but Eunuch Chai's fault."
Chai San, who bowed his head and had already finished the scolding, hurriedly said: "It's the old servant who is stupid, I can't blame Aunt Xinyue."
I really want to speak for him. I said it after His Majesty brought the memorial to Concubine Jing. How could I wait until now? Chai San sneered in his heart, but no matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare to show any disrespect to this inconspicuous laundry maid in the past.
Once she was chosen by the concubine to enter the palace of the concubine, and then because of doing something "good", it is not impossible to become a celebrity around the concubine, but this Xinyue seems to be not because of this reason.
Watching all the maidservants in the palace kneeling and lying on the ground doing work, or standing aside with a dignified expression, not daring to slack off in the slightest, one knew that this Concubine Jing was not easy to get along with.
This palace maid who called Xinyue was in stark contrast to the dignified expression of the palace maids. She was sitting at the end, although she was knocking her legs for the concubine, but judging by the strength of her hand gestures, she knew that she was not as good as those slightly The palace maid who knows medical skills can be kept by Concubine Jing's side specially because of other reasons.
For this reason, Chai San didn't have any guesses in his mind, but he dared not speak up, and only pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if he didn't know.
Hearing Xinyue's opening and venting, Concubine Jing, who still had anger on her face, froze for a moment, then the anger dissipated, and she waved her hand.
The maid in the palace and Chai San, who was kneeling on the ground, retreated quickly when they saw this.
After all the people in the hall had retreated outside the hall, Concubine Jing turned her head to look at Xinyue, sat up, brushed the broken hair on her forehead subconsciously, and asked, "He ordered it?"
Xinyue nodded.
Concubine Jing frowned: "Didn't this offend all the yamen in the capital? The king of **** is easy to send, but the little devil is hard to deal with. Those yamen buyers and cooks are not easy to deal with."
In fact, what offends this incident is only those fellow buyers and cooks who are usually able to cut oil and water? Even the officials who ate at the yamen and the students who studied and ate at the Imperial College were offended from top to bottom.
This is an out-and-out trick.
"My lord is short of money, and I'm in a hurry." Xinyue knocked Taifei Jing's legs again, and said while knocking, "It's okay, just offended, just push Chai San out."
Concubine Jing heard the words, and immediately said: "But he took care of me back then..." Before she finished speaking, she shook her head, sighed, and said, "That's it! The kindness of those meals has been multiplied several times, and I do not owe him any more."
Xinyue looked at Concubine Jing who had a face of "repaying kindness", and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes: how can the kindness in the snow be the same as the icing on the cake?
But what does this have to do with her? She's just doing stuff.
Looking at Concubine Jing in front of her, Xinyue opened her mouth again and said, "Furthermore, with Nurturing Grace, His Majesty will not treat Concubine Dowager just because of such a trivial matter. Otherwise, why did you send these memorials to Concubine Dowager?"
