Fang Shu touched Yu, and suddenly someone patted her behind her, "What are you doing?"
She poked her head out for a while, stepped on the stool for a while, and finally caught Mu Jin's attention, and asked curiously.
"It's nothing." Fang Shu hurriedly hid the jade in her sleeve.
Knowing the emperor or something is too big a matter to tell Mu Jin, whether Mu Jin will believe it is also one thing.
She should be able to believe it, because she trusts her. As long as she says something, she will believe it. For example, when she said that she might be sidelined, Hibiscus really began to prepare for things after being sidelined.
But Fang Shu has a psychological shadow. Jinxiu used to be very close to her, but because she got close to the empress, she suddenly wanted to kill her. For some reason, Fang Shu didn't want to take any more risks. Mujin is the only one she has so far. friend.
"Fang Shu." Mu Jin sensed, "You've been acting strange recently."
?
"How do you say?" Could it be that she found out about wearing it on the emperor
"I'm always missing, not only during the day, but also in the middle of the night. Also, what's the matter with the lantern under the bed? It's not like our Changchun Palace. Who gave it to you? Who do you keep leaving to see?" ?”
Fang Shu blinked, unexpectedly, Mu Jin knew about her going out at night.
"Could it be someone you like?" Touching his chin, "But there are no men in the palace, they are all eunuchs, and the guards are patrolling the front hall, so we can't touch it."
Fang Shu suddenly became nervous, and she didn't know why, she didn't want her to guess that the person was the emperor.
Maybe it's an inferiority complex, I'm afraid that Mu Jin will say that you two are not suitable, don't be wishful thinking or something like that.
She knew that Mu Jin liked Li Zhai, and she supported him even if she was far away. First, she thought she could give it a try, and second, she didn't want to give her a blow in the face because of Mu Jin's small self-esteem.
Hibiscus is so innocent, she may not be aware of this matter, and she might be outspoken.
Although she didn't have this thought, it would be somewhat embarrassing to be said that.
Fang Shu came down from the window, and tapped Hibiscus's forehead, "Why don't you go to solve the case, the lamp is for walking in the dark, and someone from another palace lent it to me, he's a pretty good guy."
That's right, the emperor is indeed a young man.
Mu Jin was surprised, "Is it really a man? A eunuch? Or a guard?"
"None." Fang Shu closed the broken window, "He's just a good-looking young man."
"It can't be the emperor, I heard that the emperor is also very good-looking." The heart of gossip ignited.
"Who knows, I didn't see it clearly, maybe it's Mrs. Li you like." Fang Shu turned back.
Mu Jin blushed immediately, "Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible, outsiders can't stay in the palace at night."
"Have you really thought about it?" He suddenly became obscene.
Mu Jin rolled her eyes, "Okay, okay, I won't ask any more."
Fang Shu also calmed down, curled up and lay on the inside, and Mu Jin lay on the outside. She was used to being careless and used to going to bed earlier than Fang Shu every time. Fang Shu waited for her to fall asleep before holding Yu in her hand. I was very puzzled.
Why is there a feeling of cheating
It's an illusion.
It was still early, and Yin Fei did not go to sleep step by step as usual, but sat under the gazebo, caressing the little fairy who was about to give birth.
The name "Little Fairy" is well chosen and matches it very well. The delicate and small cat face does not disgrace the name. I hope that its offspring will also be like it and look better.
When Li Zhai came over last time, he asked him for it, and said he wanted to adopt one, but he refused. First, he had too many children in his family, who were ignorant and afraid of hurting the cat. Second, there is no need to separate mother and child.
Another reason is that the imperial palace is too big, especially after the harem was disbanded, it used to be possible to see dim lights in the distance, but now it is dark except for the necessary passages.
A lot of palaces were sealed off, more manpower was sent to patrol, and there were fewer maids and eunuchs, which meant that the chances of someone lurking in and being discovered were lower.
The only flaw is probably that it is too quiet, so quiet that the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves can be clearly heard. At this time, it is very suitable to raise some living things, so that the Hall of Mental Cultivation will not look so deserted, and - not so lonely.
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to disband the harem. At least this matter has not subsided for three months. The ministers are still eager to force people in, but his mother has been quieter recently.
I don't know if it was because of his anger, or what, he moved out of the palace to live elsewhere. On the surface, he said it was to avoid the summer heat, but in fact it is unknown.
But he didn't regret it. He wanted to say a lot of things before, but when he said it, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Fang Shu just put on the emperor's body very late today. She has nothing to do recently, and the emperor didn't leave a note, but she has formed a habit. Every time she wears him, her first reaction is to look under the pillow.
This time it was no surprise, I didn't report my hope, but I didn't expect to find one.
'I found the chili pepper you were looking for. There are two colors in the yard. I didn't know which one you wanted, so I got them all. '
Fang Shu put down the note, without shoes on, and ran towards the yard barefoot. Sure enough, there were two pots of peppers in the corner, one red, which looked like millet peppers, and the other green, which looked like small green peppers.
When this thing first came to the Central Plains, it was called bell pepper, which means that it came from Fanwai. Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and custard apples all came from Fanwai, that is, from the sea, carrots, garlic, and courgettes. They took the Silk Road. The ones that come in are named after 'Hu' to distinguish them.
I have to say that the ancients are still very powerful, and their naming ability is very strong.
At this time, the peppers were still ornamental, and no one would eat them. Both were planted in low pots with pebbles pressed on them, and they looked like that.
Fang Shu took off one and bit the tip. Sure enough, the spicy heart was trembling. It was very good and tasty.
It's just that there are too few pots, and it will be gone after a long time. Fang Shu decided to cultivate it by herself, first tell the emperor, and then do it. Now she just wants to make something with chili peppers.
For example, Liangpi and the like are suitable for adding chili, but she has already used Liangpi in reality, so it is impossible to use it here again.
Fang Shu thought of other things, such as Mala Tang, small hot pot and so on.
With the taste of chili, it directly soared several levels, and she shed tears after eating.
I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time, I can't think about it, and I didn't eat too much because of his bad stomach.
After eating by myself, I didn't forget to share the food with him.
"This chili is for eating. I didn't expect it. With chili, everything tastes good. Thank you, you should try it too."
"It's a bit irritating. You have a bad stomach, so you can't eat more. Just add one or two at a time. Then I want to add a few more. I like to eat chili."
Holding the note, Yin Fei couldn't help thinking of a gluttonous young girl, she was faceless before, but now she seems to be right.
Fang Shu was actually a little regretful, because the emperor had a bad stomach, but her stomach was good, and it would be fine to eat twice as much chili. Unfortunately, the chili was in the palace, so it was impossible for her to bring it out.
I want to buy it myself. Since the emperor can get it, she should be able to do it too. Unfortunately, I asked a few merchants, and they all said that if I went to find it deliberately, no one would go without a hundred taels of silver. After all, I had to go to the seaside .
Even if you do business while helping to find it, it will cost a lot of money, because pepper itself is a cherished potted plant in this era, and only rich people can afford it.
Thinking about how long it took the emperor to find the two, Fang Shu basically gave up.
I also thought about whether to expose my identity, let him share one or two branches with her, and let her cultivate it by herself.
But thinking about his attitude towards her, he is neither a friend nor a confidant. If she is exposed, it will be miserable, so I have to give up the idea, but I don’t give up. I went to various vegetable markets and flower and bird markets for a few laps, and came back disappointed when I couldn’t find it. .
She just came out of the palace, and she didn't plan to do business two days ago, but went to find out the market first. She wanted to see what other people were selling. What is there in this era? What she sells is uncompetitive and still makes money.
This is the key. For the sake of investigation, I ate almost all the breakfast restaurants in the entire capital, and I didn't eat too much. The main thing was to compare the taste of others, and if she made it, what would it taste like
Mu Jin was not with her. She was helping the family steam buns. Fang Shu tasted her buns. The taste was very ordinary.
If Fang Shu does it, she is more willing to be a high-quality product. At the beginning, she doesn't expect to make a lot of money, as long as she can live without losing money.
She ran for a day, and probably found what the nearby snack bar had, such as deep-fried dough sticks, tofu nao, steamed buns, small wontons, porridge, which were quite comprehensive, which made her eat a lot less.
Fang Shu thought about it carefully. Liangpi and jelly can be stir-fried or chilled, and I haven't thought of anything else yet.
She could almost be regarded as having returned without success. She was originally in high spirits, but now she exuded an aura of 'mourning' all over her body.
It's too early, and I don't want to go back to Mu Jin's house now, Fang Shu casually walked on the street, strolling casually, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a person lying in the corner out of the corner of her eye.
A gray-haired, skinny old man. In this era, helping the elderly will not be touched. Fang Shu hesitated for a moment, walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The old man was still conscious, covered his stomach in pain, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, it's just..."
"Huh?" The voice was too low for Fang Shu to hear clearly.
"I'm hungry." The old man was very ashamed, and his face was red.
Fang Shu was taken aback, "Wait, I'll go buy you something to eat."
It's just that I'm hungry, and I didn't ask her for money, so it should be true.
Fang Shu looked around, went to a nearby steamed stuffed bun shop and bought a few steamed buns, wrapped them in oiled paper, and when they gave them to the old man, the old man's hands were shaking with excitement, and his eyes turned red.
Fang Shu looked distressed. According to normal circumstances, people of this age should be in retirement.
"Grandma, where are your children?" Fang Shu asked.
The old man waved his hand, "No... no family..."
?
"What's going on?" she asked puzzled.
The old man seemed to remember something, and suddenly burst into tears, "Grandma, when I was young, my family was also a scholarly family. My mother wanted to match me, but I didn't want to, so I ran out of the house."
"When I went back after playing enough, there was a flood at home, my home was gone, and my relatives were gone, leaving me alone in the world."
She continued, "I'm getting old, and I don't want to get married, and I have some savings in my hand, so I thought about not getting married at all, and living by myself. At first, life was okay. I opened a shop, and I got up early and worked late every day. , quite a bit of money, but it didn’t take long for me to get tired and sick.”
"The money I saved over the years was spent to see a doctor one by one, the shop was pawned, the house was gone, and I just lived with hunger and food." She cried hard, "I regret it, really, I shouldn't Don't listen to my mother, if I didn't run out that day."
Fang Shu was silent for a while, she was sobbing, she didn't know how to comfort her.
She seems to have seen her own future, she also plans to open a shop, and then stay in the shop alone for the rest of her life, the experience of the old man is like a blow to the head, a stick woke her up.
That's right, she is a weak woman, and the times don't allow it. In modern times, she can enter a nursing home by herself, but where could she enter in ancient times
What will she do next
I have a headache and brain fever, and I don't even have someone to take care of it. Can I rely on Hibiscus? Hibiscus will marry sooner or later.
Fang Shu was suddenly in a daze, and gave the old man some of the money left on her body. She had no relationship with the old man, and it was impossible to take care of her for the rest of her life. Just try her best.
Fang Shu said goodbye to the old man, and she still hadn't recovered from it for a long time.
Thinking about my future.
In fact, she doesn't dislike getting married. What she dislikes is that in this era, there are three wives and four concubines. There is no one who is willing to be with her wholeheartedly. If possible, she is willing to get married.
He looked up at the sky, confused.
Where can I find someone who is willing to give up three wives and four concubines and be single-minded with her
Fang Shu was still thinking about it after returning home, Mu Jin seemed to be afraid that she would be hungry, so she specially left a basket of steamed dumplings for her.
Fang Shu looked at the dumplings, as if she had opened her eyes, and thought of another food.
Soup dumplings.
I almost forgot, in this era, I don't know if there is no soup dumpling or what, Fang Shu didn't see it in the capital.
This might be a chance for her to make a fortune. She knows how to make soup dumplings, and high-end soup dumplings use skin jelly.
Speaking of skin jelly, skin jelly is also a delicacy, which belongs to cold dishes.
People in this era pay attention to maintenance, rarely eat cold food, and some worry that business will not be good.
No matter so much, Fang Shu decided to give it a try.
Mu Jin’s shop is a breakfast shop, open from morning to afternoon, until it’s sold out, and it’s empty from afternoon to evening, Mu Jin doesn’t want to leave, so she has to keep it, for fear that Mu Jin’s family will bully her when she’s not around, Defrauded her of all her money.
She found that she was actually there, and Mu Jin's two older brothers and sisters-in-law would be a bit more worried, and they would not be too much, otherwise they would suffer her cold eyes, and their attack power was very small, so Fang Shu decided to stay.
If there is no white stay, I will help, and then give a piece of silver, and plan to stay for two months.
One piece of silver can live in an inn for more than half a month, and it is more than enough to rent a room for two months. His house is so dilapidated, and five hundred Wen is enough.
Still the same sentence, I am afraid that Mu Jin will be bullied, so give more, and treat it as money for being 'taken care of'.
One advantage is that she can use her kitchen and seasonings at will. After all, she runs a breakfast shop, and the ingredients are complete. Fang Shu didn't have to buy them. She started to try making soup dumplings that day.
When a foodie's desire is not satisfied, the foodie will start to do it himself.
Fang Shu’s small county town doesn’t have a good soup dumpling shop, so it’s not easy to run to the city every time I go to eat, it’s too tiring, and she drives for hours just to have a meal, her obsession is not that deep, But I want to eat again, what should I do? Do it yourself.
In fact, the ones made by myself are not as delicious as others, but the taste is quite special, which can solve the urgent need.
The method is a bit complicated. Fang Shu is in the experimental stage. She is not afraid of trouble. She buys pigskin and cooks it herself. After cooking it to a certain extent, she removes the shaved hair and oil stains, and then continues to cook.
On the other side, they began to chop stuffing and add ingredients, and Mu Jin helped to roll out the dough. The two of them considered cooperation.
Seeing that the pig skin is almost boiled, take it out, pour the soup into a bowl, and set it aside to cool. When it cools completely, it will be skin jelly. It will take at least two hours, so it will not be used today. Shu made a simple version of soup dumplings.
Add broth to the meat stuffing, and it will be fine. The broth is the soup that has just been frozen, which is almost the same, but no one’s soup dumplings have more soup.
That kind of first-class soup dumpling shop is full of soup, the dough is chewy, and it won't break after wrapping so much. Fang Shu obviously doesn't have other people's craftsmanship, or that sentence, in the experimental stage.
Because I don't like to eat ginger, except that I don't put ginger, the method is exactly the same as others. After wrapping, steam a few small baskets and prepare it for dinner.
The effect of the pot was ideal, and it was more delicious than expected. Mu Jin praised her for being amazing.
Fang Shu did a lot, and asked her to give some to her parents and brothers and sisters-in-law. Mu Jin's parents were good to Mu Jin, but only her brothers and sisters-in-law were bad.
Maybe it was because they were afraid that Mu Jin would come back to live longer, or they would take their shop, even if they didn't take it, it would be enough to feel distressed if they didn't take it away. In short, the reason why they didn't want to see Mu Jin was nothing more than money.
Fang Shu saw it, but she gave it to Mu Jin's parents, so she had to give it along with theirs. In fact, the most important thing was to let Mu Jin go. She wanted to wait for the emperor's eagle.
It's delicious, of course I can't wait to share it with others.
Fang Shu wrapped it with oiled paper and wrapped three or five soup dumplings. Thinking that this place is not far from the palace, the emperor's eagle is also very strong, tall and big, with legs as thick as a finger, and wings are also quite strong. The long ones must be able to withstand it, so I stuffed three more.
Why do you have to make people full? What is it like to eat half full
Fang Shu wrapped it up and tied it with a rope. Later, I will put this around the eagle's neck and let it help carry things.
I don't know if it will come, but I hope it will.
Fang Shu waited and waited until Mu Jin's voice came from outside, and the eagle didn't come. She looked at the sky, and at this point, he should go to sleep. He usually sleeps at this point, and there is little hope of coming. She did. It took too long to make soup dumplings, and I didn't pay attention to the passage of time.
Unable to control the disappointment in my heart, I was about to open it up and eat it myself. I remembered the Liangpi from last time, and worried about repeating the same mistakes. I didn’t eat it after all. It happened that Hibiscus seemed to have something to do. I went to talk to her parents, and the footsteps reached the door and went back. It's time for Fang Shu, so you can wait a little longer.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was finally the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground outside the door, and the sound of tiles creaking.
Fang Shu hurriedly opened the window to look, and the eagle landed not far away, neither barking nor approaching. It stood on the tiles for a long time, then dropped a wooden branch, and immediately wanted to fly away again.
Fang Shu didn't respond to calling it a few times, and in a hurry, she leaned out half of her body, stretched her arms and grabbed the eagle's legs, and pulled the eagle down with all her strength.
The eagle struggled desperately. She was afraid of being scratched, so she quickly wrapped the whole eagle with the hem of her clothes. She usually handled the cat like this, her hands and feet were numb, and the eagle didn't react.
Fang Shu clamped the eagle with her legs, took the oiled paper bag on the table with both hands free, and hung the rope around its neck, fearing that it would struggle and lose it, so she made an extra loop around it, and then tied it tightly to make sure it would not fall off. Just let it out.
There was something extra on the eagle's neck, and it was very uncomfortable. It hovered on the top for a long time, and even screamed.
It usually doesn't bark, it's very quiet, it seems that she is really too rude to it, and it is dissatisfied.
Fang Shu watched it spin around several times, lowered her head, grabbed it with her claws, but didn't get rid of it, she seemed very helpless, her chirping sound was full of anger, but she still flew away obediently.
Maybe go find its owner
Yin Fei had just finished processing the memorial, and sat down to have a cup of tea. Since no one was caught in the disaster relief last time, those people seemed to be more daring, and soon started the second operation. He had already sent Li Zhai to investigate.
This guy has been in training for so many days, and he is exhausted. I don't know if it's because the food is too good, or what's going on, his face has grown fatter.
If I don't find him a job, I'm afraid I won't recognize him next time. How could he be so greasy so quickly when he was a handsome young man with delicate features in the past
However, he also recovered quickly, wandering between fat and thin every time.
Yin Fei put down his teacup, and took a book from the study. The Queen had already given him all of the last "World Strategy", and the one given to him before leaving yesterday was also a painting of the "love between husband and wife" for so many years. end.
He sent her out of the palace, she gave him the book, no one owed anyone.
Not long after he got the book, he hadn't finished it yet, so he would sit by the window and read it whenever he had free time, and today was no exception, but there was a small accident today.
Xiao Jiu, who went out to deliver things, came back with things still hanging around her neck.
This eagle is specially raised and trained by someone. It is very clever. Basically, it will not let people approach, nor will it approach people too much. It also has strong attack power. If it is caught or pecked by it, it will suffer. .
It doesn't get close to people, and it doesn't eat outside food, which means that the possibility of buying it is zero. All eagles that can be domesticated are smart, and the chance of being caught is not high.
So how did she manage to hang things around its neck
