Shangshi female official

Chapter 17 Brown Sugar Block 1
Nanny Chen seemed to have guessed what the girls were thinking, and said, "If you don't know what's the best, just taste it."

In this way, those who have tasted it have no doubts, and those who have not tasted it have nothing to say.

The first assessment of Neijiaofang ended like this, Wang Yifu stayed in the room to read in the afternoon, and Shen Ci went to the Shangshi Bureau to have a look with Nanny Xia.

During dinner in the evening, Shen Ci came back, and Wang Yifu immediately went up to ask how the palace was going, but only saw Shen Ci's expression was lonely, not the expectant and happy look before entering the palace.

Faced with a friend's question, she managed to force out a sentence: "It's not the same as I thought..."

Wang Yifu concluded that Shen Ci must have been bullied again. Although Shen Ci was honest and weak, he couldn't just let others bully him for no reason, and asked: "What do you think? What is the reality of Shangshi Bureau?" Sample?"

When Shen Ci talked about Shangshi Bureau, she lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes. Seeing that Yifu was concerned, she knew that she was a rare person who could talk with her heart, so she struggled repeatedly, but she still told the truth.

"Mommy Xia led me to the palace, and met Mr. Qiu Shangshi. Mr. Xia was scolded by Mr. Shangshi, saying that a court lady like me won the lottery, and it was Neijiaofang's dereliction of duty..."

Wang Yifu couldn't help being angry, and persuaded: "You rely on your ability, let her say what she says, Shen Ci, don't be frightened by her words."

"She is Lord Shangshi..."

When she said this, Wang Yifu was speechless, and she didn't know how to comfort her. The top leaders of Shangshi Bureau had such thoughts, how could Shen Ci expect to improve her culinary skills in such a place, and gain recognition purely based on her skills.

Because of this incident, Shen Ci was depressed for several days in a row. Fortunately, although she was depressed every day, she did not dare to slack off even a single cent of the nunnery's careful teaching, and always listened carefully, even if she was too familiar with it. If you are familiar with the content, you will learn it patiently.

In a blink of an eye, it was July [-]th, the Qiqiao Festival, and everyone in the imperial city was celebrating this festival. The Inner Jiaofang also gave the girls a day off and allowed them to go outside the Inner Jiaofang.

Xu Xinyan had already inquired about the new gadgets in the imperial city, and took Wang Yifu to make a river lantern in the courtyard where Shen Ci lived. At night, he went to Xiyuan to release the river lantern, and then went to Longevity Mountain to see the special device of the empress's order to the internal affairs supervisor. seven-storey pagoda lights.

"I won't go. If I have the time to watch the lamp, why don't I practice a few more words." Shen Ci's heart has been confused these days, and she is not very interested in watching the lamp. I don't want to do lights.

"Shen Ci, it's okay to miss a day of study!" Xu Xinyan walked around from Shen Ci's left to right, tilting his head to persuade: "I heard that this year's seven-story pagoda lamp was specially chosen by the Empress for the maids of honor and female historians. It looks good."

But Shen Ci turned his face away, pointed the back of his head at her, and said: "I missed a day of cooking, and just practiced calligraphy, otherwise, how could I have such free time on weekdays."

The corners of Xu Xinyan's mouth drooped, and he began to hold Shen Ci's arm in aggrieved manner and begged again, "Shen Ci, just stay with me."

"Isn't there still Eve with you?"

Just as Wang Yifu wanted to say that Shen Ci would not go, she didn't want to either, but Shen Ci blocked her before she could say this.

"But we need three of us to go together. On weekdays, we learn to write together, eat together, don't we all go together, why do you lose the chain when you want to go out to play?"

"On weekdays, the three of us are together. This is a day off, so let's rest for a while, okay?"

"Oh, Shen Ci~~~~~"

Xu Xinyan didn't know why she was so concerned about this begging for cleverness, she couldn't help but pull Shen Ci together, the arm holding Shen Ci was almost dislocated.

Shen Ci was aroused by her series of trembling sounds, so he couldn't help it. He went back to the room and took out a small package wrapped in yellow oil paper. The package was about half the size of a palm, and the weight seemed quite large.

She opened the oil paper, and there was a square maroon lump inside, "This is a little brown sugar lump that my father asked someone to bring to me. You take it, and it happens to be a snack when you look at the lights. I won't go." No, I have never liked to join in the fun in a crowd."

It's not easy to bring things in from the outside of the imperial city, God knows how much effort it took to deliver the brown sugar.

Seeing this, Wang Yifu also understood that Shen Ci really didn't want to go, and it was meaningless to force her to go, so she hurriedly persuaded Xu Xin, "It's fine if Shen Ci doesn't want to go, it's the same for us to go. Don't take this brown sugar, her father made it into it." It's not easy coming to the palace."

Shen Ci wrapped the brown sugar and stuffed it into Xu Xinyan's hand, and said: "I don't like sweets, you can do me a favor by taking them away and eating them, otherwise it would be a waste to put them here."

According to Wang Yifu's observations over the past few days, Shen Ci is not picky, maybe she doesn't like brown sugar, and she doesn't dislike it. In order to take care of Xu Xinyan's little sister, she is reluctant to part with her.

"It's getting late, let's take the river lantern to Xiyuan, and then go to Longevity Mountain." Wang Yifu had to quickly pull Xu Xinyan away, lest she pester Shen Ci again.

Xu Xinyan got the brown sugar, taking advantage of her joy, she easily let Shen Ci go, and even offered to help her take the Lotus River Lantern with her.

The two of them arrived at Xiyuan, and along the way along the Taiye Pool, there were already many lotus lanterns drifting with the water.

When it was time to release the river lanterns, there was only a dark blue light left in the sky, and there were too many people, so the maids and eunuchs could only put the lotus river lanterns in their hands on the water, push them away, so that the people behind could quickly replace them and put them on. lamp.

The two of them followed the heels of the person in front and the shoulders of the person next to them with small steps, and finally reached the river.

Wang Yifu squatted down, Xu Xinyan passed the lamps from behind, and put his own, hers, and Shen Ci's river lamps into the Taiye Pond one by one, watching the glowing lotus float away along the water patterns.

Thousands of flowers scattered from one point, the heart of the flower is a little starlight, gradually leaving people.

The river lanterns are reflected on the water, as are the stars. After staring at them for a long time, people can't tell which side is the reflection and which side is the world.

The two of them followed the river lantern and walked along the shore of Taiye Pond for a long time. After making sure that they would not fall into the water, they turned to Wansui Mountain to see the seven-story pagoda lantern.

The Longevity Mountain is right behind the palace. The mountain is not too high. Standing on the mountain, you can just overlook the whole palace. Today, the palace is also full of stars, showing a peaceful appearance.

Xu Xinyan hooked Wang Yifu's arm, and walked all the way, thinking about it, talking about the fact that there were no lights on the Longevity Mountain on Qixi Festival, but this year it was the empress's permission, and the internal affairs supervisor installed the seventh floor in front of the Shouhuang Hall on the mountain Pagoda lights.

When they walked to the Shouhuang Hall, many people were already pacing slowly around the lamps.

The whole lamp is in the shape of a seven-story tower, one and a half people high, the lowest floor is the widest, and it shrinks in turn. Each floor of the tower has six sides, and each side is a story of a Buddhist scripture.
