Chapter 148

"Who is responsible for today's fruit? Recruit from the truth!" Father-in-law Lian, who is in charge of the lotus garden, shrieked.

The servant girl in charge knelt down with some of her men. Look at me and I look at you, but the servant girl in charge trembled and pointed to the bird's nest and said it was her.

The bird's nest looked calm and kowtowed to admit his mistake: "it's the slave's responsibility."

No more explanation.

"We know." Father Lian narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth between the servant girl and the bird's nest.

The servant girl quietly relaxed. She thought she had muddled through and pushed the pot to the bird's nest to solve the new worker. She was a little excited. But father-in-law Lian undoubtedly threw her from the cloud to the dust: "it's your duty to entrust others to do it. Since peeling sour oranges is so difficult for you, you don't have to be responsible for the supply of fruits in the future, Be a floor sweeper. "

She raised her head in horror. What he meant was to demote her from a third-class servant girl to a worker. Her status and monthly rules have become lower. How can he do it“ Father Lian, I'm wrong. Please give me another chance and I'll never do it again! "

She just wanted to make Xianglu. No one would find out if she pushed her work to her people twice at a time. But she never thought that she would lose her future once. What link went wrong? Was it coral informer?

She stared at the bird's nest, her bloodshot eyes full of hatred.

Father Lian: "how can I give you a chance? One second before, the princess personally gave the sour orange to the sixth prince. The next second, she looked at the sour orange that was not good. The new one was taken from your hand. You wouldn't say that our family was blind and recognized the wrong person? "

The servant girl was so frustrated that she wanted to go back to a few hours ago. She would not deal with it casually.

Mammy raised the servant girl, the other two servant girls withdrew, and the bird's nest was still left in place.

Father-in-law Lian asked, "do you know why our family left you?"

"Slaves should not overstep their responsibilities."

"Should I be punished?"

"When punished, coral recognizes punishment."

Without a trace of hesitation and hesitation, father-in-law Lian stared at her and smiled for a long time, "OK, give you ten boards and go outside to receive punishment."

"Father Xie Lian."

Before the bird's nest quit, father-in-law Lian said, "in the future, you will be responsible for the supply of fruits. After receiving the punishment, make a plate of small rabbit sour orange. Don't let our family down."

Overnight, she exchanged her identity with the servant girl in charge.

The bird's nest blessed father-in-law Lian. There was still no sadness or joy on his face, as if the promotion had nothing to do with her.

……

Pray for the palace.

Sun Changxin, the sixth princess, sat in the imperial chair closest to the door in the main hall, looking forward to it. From time to time, she asked the servant girls around her, and told the kitchen to warm the mutton soup and don't let it cool.

The sixth Lord trotted in with sour oranges at the same speed as the boy who ran errands to report. Bypassing the screen wall, he immediately saw that the man on the tip of his heart was helped up by the servant girl and went to the door to meet him. He stepped faster. He came to sun Changxin in three or two steps, handed the plate to the servant girl next to him, waved back the servant girls who came to serve him to take off his fur, warmed their hands and helped sun Changxin sit on the throne. He was angry:

"How can I bother you to wait for me in the main hall? It's windy here and you're hurt. What should I do?"

"If you wait around the princess, won't you persuade her to pay attention to her body?"

He turned and talked to the servant girls again.

"Don't blame them. I asked them. If they don't listen to me, they'll beat them." Sun Changxin was wrapped in a cloak and looked petite, but her face was pale. She was a little haggard and weak. She said, "there was warm ground in the hall. I asked them to put up a screen before it stopped. Why did you come back so late? Zhuang Xuan has something important to tell you? "

The sixth Lord immediately brought up the sour oranges like a treasure and talked about what happened in the long princess's house today. "I smell a little different from what happened at home. Thinking of your recent bad joy, I asked my aunt for their sour oranges. The shape is quite unique. I'll try it when I eat later."

Changxin nodded shyly and looked at the rabbit fruit petal. She wanted to eat an orange for no reason.

good deed!

The sixth Lord and the servant girls were pleasantly surprised and hurriedly sent the peeled oranges. In full view of the public, Changxin's Blush spread to her ears and her voice was too low to hear clearly: "don't look at me..."

"Well, well, don't look."

Sun Changxin tried to eat one. Her eyes didn't leave the little rabbit. She unknowingly ate an orange.

No vomiting.

After dinner, the sixth prince was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to the princess mansion of the village's propaganda director. For the sake of his family's Changxin, he had to ask for a large basket of sour oranges to put at home.

When she received the letter from the sixth Prince's residence, the eldest princess listened to the report from the manager.

She raised the letter in her hand, "this is the good nephew of the palace. Take away the sour oranges in the dining room of the palace. Now I have to ask for a large basket of sour oranges. OK, there's no need to prepare any gifts. It's enough to send two baskets of sour oranges. Ask the servant girl who makes sour oranges today if she has any way to improve her appetite. Write it down and copy it for me. "

Here you are.

Hongzhu drugged the bird's nest. She didn't like the servant girl in charge. Now she has become a worker like them, and she thinks it's a blessing in disguise for the silly bird's nest. It's like eating sour orange: "coral really has you. Suddenly, she has changed from a worker to a servant girl in charge. How do you feel? For the sake of my medicine, take care of me more in the future. "

"If you continue to do your job well, you will be rewarded sooner or later." Said the bird's nest.

Red bead skimmed his mouth.

Mammy knocked at the door and asked if coral was there. The bird's nest quickly responded. Mammy asked her to come out quickly and follow her to father-in-law Lian.

"What's the matter with Grandpa Lian looking for you?"

"I don't know."

Bird's nest mouth can't say clearly. I probably understand in my heart that the plate of sour orange may have entered the noble's eyes.

Opportunity comes so fast, it is good luck, it may also be a trap.

Don't worry.

Father-in-law Lian carried his hands on his back. There were paper and pens in front of the table. The bird's nest glanced and saw a shadow behind the screen in front of him.

"You're here. Do you know what our family is looking for you?" Father-in-law Lian turned around and stood with the bird's nest drooping his eyes.

"I'm stupid. Please give me some advice."

Father Lian: "the sour orange rabbit in Zhengwei hall, what did you add to it to make its fragrance longer and make people eat more?"

Bird's nest realized that her opportunity had come. She was not satisfied with peeling sour oranges. This was her first step, not the final destination. According to the meaning of Duke Lian's words, it should be the smell of anorexic people that attracted the attention of dignitaries.

The thought in her mind only circled a few times in the blink of an eye. She replied: "before she entered the house, she followed the cook to watch the moon since she was a child. She not only had excellent cooking skills, but also was proficient in making incense dew. Therefore, the slave also learned two or three things. Some anorexic guests' families invited the cook to watch the moon. She dropped the prepared sour orange incense dew when cooking, which made him appetizer. When I was dealing with the sour orange, I thought it was placed in the Zhengwei hall. It was very important for the long princess to relax and eat. I didn't dare to add anything else to the sour orange without permission, but I baked its peel over a low fire to remove the green astringency and make the fruit taste more delicious. "

The man behind the screen moved.

Father Lian never expected that this humble little worker would make incense dew. He glanced behind the screen and asked, "can you make incense dew? Sour oranges are obviously inedible. How can they be made into fragrant dew and added to the rice? Tell us quickly. If you deceive our family, you know the consequences! "
