Fu Cheng folded his hands in his sleeves, and stood behind King Jin with an old god on the ground.
He was wearing a blue silk silk tunic collar shirt, a black gauze hat, black-faced soap boots, and a green bat jade pendant hanging from his waist. Looking at her face, she is only in her early thirties, but Yaoniang knows that Fu Cheng is already in her forties. But the eunuchs were all born with thin skin and tender flesh, so their faces looked young.
His eyes slanted to this side, and he saw Yaoniang who was leaning against the corner and about to leave.
In fact, Jin Wang's eyes are also seen here, but it is relatively less obvious.
"Since Madam Su is fine, let's help serve the meals."
Yaoniang looked up at Fucheng with a surprised expression.
Looking at King Jin sitting at the table again, King Jin looked indifferent and did not express any objection. Since you don't speak, you agree, but there are so many girls in the room, why is it her turn to be a nanny
"Nurse Su is the first among the servants now." Fu Cheng said with a smile.
Therefore, it is different for the master to talk to the shameless servant in front of him. Fucheng seems to have not mentioned the incident in the morning, but he is saying that Yaoniang should be devoted to her heart after receiving the reward from the King of Jin. This devotion is to serve King Jin with all my heart, and the first thing is to serve the meal.
Yuyan and other girls did not dare to say anything, Yaoniang stood there quite at a loss. But in this situation, she definitely couldn't refuse, so she could only come to the table.
Lu'e brought the water basin and asked Yaoniang to wash her hands, looking at her with a little worried eyes.
This task of serving meals seems simple, but in fact not everyone can do it, one needs to know the master's preferences and winks. The master originally wanted to eat this dish, but you brought that dish, not to make it clear that it would cause trouble. And the master will not tell you what to do, he will let you give advice on everything, and what does he want you, a slave, to do.
Moreover, King Jin is notoriously difficult to serve.
King Jin's difficulty in serving him is his cold face. Once he doesn't like it, the icy air can freeze people to death. Of course, Lu'e and the others have heard all this, and in their identities, they can't serve Jin Wang.
The girls of the green generation looked at Yaoniang worriedly, thinking that His Highness's reward is not something that can be accepted casually, and appreciation also contains infinite dangers.
On the contrary, Yuyan and Yuyan were still calm as usual, with no expression of joy or anger on their faces.
Yaoniang wiped her hands with a dry handkerchief, first rolled up her sleeves, and then took the long-handled silver chopsticks from the green waist.
In fact, Yaoniang is also familiar with the matter of serving meals to the King of Jin. She has served him a lot in her previous life, and she knows how difficult it is to serve him. The key point is that this person has a big temper, and if he doesn't agree with him, he will show a cold face. In her previous life, Yaoniang was often disliked by King Jin because of this matter.
Although he didn't say it in his mouth, it was written in his eyes: You don't know how to serve a meal, what else can you do
At that time, Yaoniang had studied hard for the sake of shame and to please the King of Jin. Although she didn't know much about other aspects of the King of Jin, she was very clear about some of his little habits in life.
The dishes on the table are very rich, eight dishes and one soup, each dish is delicious in color, fragrance and taste.
Yao Niang only needs to smell it to know that it is a dish from Zhaohuitang's small kitchen.
She is not a glutton, but after eating King Jin's leftovers a few times, she knows what is called delicacy in the world, and it is not an exaggeration for people to swallow their tongues. In her previous life, Yaoniang was just a small concubine. She said she was a concubine, but in fact she still ate in the big kitchen. Although the food in the big kitchen was not bad, she always felt that something was missing.
As for what it is, Yaoniang can't tell, anyway, she knows that King Jin's meal is delicious.
The dishes are five meat and three vegetarian soups. The meat dishes include stir-fried shredded tripe, fried chicken slices with mushrooms, fish balls in clear soup, kung pao hare, simmered deer tendon in casserole, and vegetarian dishes include stewed whip bamboo shoots, fresh mushrooms and cabbage, and stir-fried wild rice. , There is also a three delicacies soup.
Maybe she was really hungry, Yaoniang was salivating and her heart was burning.
However, she still hadn't forgotten the errand she was about to do. Seeing King Jin holding up the silver chopsticks, she pressed down on her sleeve with one hand, and with the other hand picked some slices of stir-fried rice stems for King Jin, and put them on the porcelain plate in front of him.
Probably because they are too familiar with this scene, or maybe they are really hungry. Yaoniang forgot for a moment that she was only from a small family, and she had never served people in the palace, so she probably didn't know how to serve people.
Her movements are methodical, smooth and graceful. Her slender jade fingers were raised slightly, and every move contained a kind of demure and calm, as beautiful as a painting. It even made it easy for people to ignore her current attire, but subconsciously feel that this woman is beautiful.
The most important thing was that her hands were steady and she didn't hesitate, as if she was sure that King Jin would like to eat the dishes she picked up.
King Jin really likes to eat.
Unlike other people who were born in the army, Jin Wang Xisu didn't like meat. Vegetarian food is also eaten, but he prefers vegetarian food. Of course, some people will definitely say, why do you have so many meat dishes when you are clearly fond of vegetarian food? This question is a bit esoteric. Anyway, Yaoniang has served King Jin for a long time, so she knows that there are many strange rules around him.
Just like these dishes, King Jin didn't eat much, maybe he only ate a few chopsticks for each dish. His preferences fluctuated a lot, but just remember one truth, follow his eyes.
Here one clips, one eats, it fits very well.
The group of people headed by Fu over there were all kinds of surprises and surprises, so I won't list them one by one.
The room was very quiet, as if there was no one in it.
Anyway, Yaoniang has served Jin Wang more than once or twice, and she admires that he never makes any noise when eating, not even chewing.
The food that Yaoniang picked up disappeared in the blink of an eye, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye, but people don't know why it disappeared.
Suddenly, there was a sudden groaning sound, which was very loud because the room was quiet.
Yaoniang's face turned red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground and get in. She thought that King Jin would probably reprimand her for being rude, but he didn't say anything at all, as if he didn't hear it.
King Jin ate a few more mouthfuls and put down the silver chopsticks.
"The rest of the dishes will be rewarded to you."
King Jin didn't mention his name, but everyone looked at her in an instant. Yao Niang didn't think about others except herself.
She looked at the dishes on the table that had hardly been moved, and wondered, King Jin has a bad appetite today
King Jin didn't stay long, and left after lunch.
It seemed that he had come just to have lunch.
Yaoniang got a table of dishes, because of the unusual dishes, she was able to go back to her room to eat, and someone respectfully helped her bring the leftovers back to the room and arrange them on the table.
Sometimes Yao Niang doesn't understand this kind of rules, but it's the leftover food from King Jin, so why is it so different, it's obviously a food.
Yaoniang didn't understand this truth in her previous life, and she's probably incompetent in this life, anyway, she doesn't eat King Jin's leftovers once or twice, Yaoniang adapts well. Even because these dishes are so delicious that people want to swallow their tongues, she ate one more bowl of rice than before, and she ate until her belly was round, so it was worth it.
But the dishes are still not finished, there are still a lot left.
How about eating hot at night
Yaoniang thought so silently, and her idea was seconded by a little girl named Axia.
A-Xia is fourteen years old, and she is delicate and charming, as well as smart. Not long after she entered the mansion as an errand, she worked as a maid in the small kitchen.
She likes to talk to Yaoniang very much. Although Yaoniang is not much older than her, it may be that her experience is different, and there is a feeling of vicissitudes. And A-Xia's innocence is undoubtedly a dazzling sight in the back house of the palace, people can't help but smile when they see it, so Yaoniang also likes to talk to her.
This time, it was Axia who volunteered to help Yaoniang clean up the dishes. While clearing the table, she chattered, "I'll keep these dishes iced for Madam Su. They won't go bad at night. When the time comes, I'll heat them up and add some vegetarian food to them, so I can have another meal."
Yaoniang nodded: "Then I will trouble you."
"What's the trouble, this is what I should do."
Axia is very talented in cooking on the stove. Not long after she came to the small kitchen, she got the favor of Mrs. Mo, and would give her pointers from time to time. Now the little girl can cook some simple meals in a decent manner. Judging from the current situation, it is just around the corner for Mrs. Mo to accept her as an apprentice.
"Nurse Su, you don't know, everyone is envious of you, saying that you have great skills, and His Highness rewarded you one after another."
Yaoniang smiled shyly: "It's not so exaggerated, but it happened to serve His Highness's meal, so His Highness just rewarded me."
"Anyway, Madam Su looks like a lucky person. Tell me, are you afraid of His Highness? Why is it that every time I see him from a distance, I feel that His Highness is very afraid of people, so I dare not look directly at him."
Yaoniang hesitated for a moment: "Actually, His Highness is a very good person, he is very considerate of his servants." She didn't know how to describe it, so she could only choose two terms that were relatively easy for people to understand.
"I really envy Mrs. Su. You don't know that they have a lot of discussions today. But there are two women in the kitchen who are really annoying. They always say sour things and say that they want to cooperate with other people to make Mrs. Su this time. Bleeding." Axia wrinkled her nose with disgust on her face.
Yaoniang was not surprised by this incident. In fact, these people are not bad people. They just saw that others were jealous and tried to gain a psychological balance by making people lose blood. This time, Yaoniang planned to be generous and treat everyone to a drink, but she didn't think it was a big deal.
Just thinking about what King Jin rewarded her, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
After A-Xia left, Yaoniang went to the cabinet and found a small cloth bag from inside.
In the small cloth bag were her one month's wages, the jewelry and silver rewarded to her by Concubine Hu last time, and the things that King Jin rewarded her today.
If it was exchanged for equivalent silver, it would be several hundred taels more, but the problem is that the things in the Prince Jin's Mansion are all stamped with the emblem, so they can only be brought by themselves, and it is impossible to sell them.
Yaoniang suddenly felt resentment in her heart.
This kind of resentment is not only this time, but also the grievances from the previous life.
It was also like this in her previous life, King Jin rewarded her with flashy things. They are all good-looking, and they are all valuable. Some say they are priceless, but it is a pity that they all need to be registered, and nothing will work without one.
But the money she needs the most is only a little money every month. She dare not ask King Jin to take the money back to her son, so she can only pick money out of the monthly money. But she always spends more than half of her monthly money on rewarding servants, and the money she gets back is actually not much.
This time, she will pay at least ten taels of silver for a drink. After all, she has won the reward from His Highness, and she has won such good things. If she is too stingy, she will lose her tongue. But as long as I think that I only have thirty taels of silver in total, and it will be ten taels in this way, I always feel like a knife is twisting my heart.
When will she save enough money to go home!
Yaoniang sat there and sighed for a while, then took out ten taels of silver from the inside, and was about to put the cloth bag away, after thinking about it, she took out another five taels.
It's better to prepare more, lest there is not enough time, but it will be embarrassing.
In Zhaohui Hall, in the study room, Anshi with a blank face stood in front of the desk with his hands down, and said: "Nurse Su used a lot, she ate two bowls of rice, and she was full of food, and she was not willing to throw away the leftovers." , I plan to heat it up and eat it at night.”
Anshi, as the secret guard next to the King of Jin, would inevitably help him find out something in secret. Normally, under such circumstances, he would choose to report everything in detail without any personal emotions, because only in this way can the master be accurate. analyze the meaning of it.
So Lian Yaoniang ate two bowls of rice, was reluctant to throw away the leftovers, and planned to reheat them before eating, and King Jin knew about it.
King Jin showed a smile and was about to say something when Fu Cheng walked in from the outside.
Seeing this, King Jin waved his hand, and Anshi disappeared before Fucheng came in.
"Your Highness, someone from Siyi Courtyard came to deliver a message."
King Jin glanced at him.
Fu Cheng hesitated a little and said: "It's someone close to the princess. It is said that the 15th day is the princess's birthday. The princess plans to hold a banquet in the Siyi Courtyard. I hope that His Royal Highness will show me some face."
