Shangshi female official

Shen Ci wept, sucked and choked, and said, "It's nice to have you..."

Wang Yifu stretched out her arms to hug her, patted her on the back lightly, and said, "Shen Ci, we have been studying together for so long in the Inner Teaching Workshop and entered the palace. You teach me cooking skills, and I teach you how to read. As long as we help each other, we are not afraid of anything.”

"Shen Ci, are you being lazy?"

A palace lady came out from the head room of the imperial kitchen, stood five steps away and reprimanded Shen Ci.

Wang Yifu sneered, worrying that she couldn't find a chance, so it was delivered to her door, then she stood up and said loudly: "Don't worry, I'll tell Mr. Chen Shangshi, or I'll tell Eunuch Qiu about it." Say, don't spoil your hands with washing."

As soon as she took a step outside, the court lady grabbed her, saw that she was Wang Yifu who was serving Chen Shangshi's meal, and said with a smile: "Sister, where are you going?"

Wang Yifu threw off the maid like a child losing her temper, and said coldly: "My good sister washed four or five pots of vegetables here, her hands are swollen, I have to ask Master Chen Shangshi, these seven people serve Concubine Hui Empress, is it in accordance with the rules to leave one person to wash five pots of vegetables?

If it is in accordance with the rules, then go and ask Eunuch Qiu to change places, you can't let your own people suffer this kind of grievance. "

When the maid heard Qiu Gonggong's name, her mouth trembled, she hurried over to help Shen Ci up, she sat down and picked up the loofah pulp to wash the vegetables, and said: "Oh, Shen Ci, why don't you know Mr. Shangshi and Qiu Gonggong?" I said it earlier... Hurry up and take a rest in the house, don't hurt your hands."

On weekdays, these palace maids gave Shen Ciyi orders, turned their faces faster than turning a book, and asked her to go to rest. Shen Ci was feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable, Xu Xinyan hurriedly dragged her away, and turned to the palace maid and said: "Then Shen Ci I'm going to rest, please wash the dishes well."

Fearing that Shen Ci's heart would soften, the two of them turned around to help, and directly dragged Shen Ci to the Shengji Hall. There were many people coming and going at the entrance of the Shengji Hall, and there were many people who came to worship the Bodhisattva.

A few eunuchs were standing next to the stairs, setting up two tables with hundreds of white bowls, and on the ground were two large black vats, each waist-high.

Two eunuchs were scooping dark brown soup from the tank into bowls, giving it to the maids and eunuchs who came in and out of the palace gate. Xu Xinyan saw that there was someone to drink, so he jumped over there to ask questions.

"My father-in-law, what kind of soup is this?"

"Today is the birthday of the Medicine King Bodhisattva. The Internal Affairs Supervisor arranged for Shangshan Supervisor to cook Sishen Soup for the believers who came to worship the Bodhisattva. The Sishen Soup has the effect of invigorating the spleen and eliminating dampness, but it is not very tasty."

"Then can I have a bowl?"

Xu Xinyan was pretty and cute, and looked at the eunuch with big, clean eyes with lids closed. The eunuch couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly poured a white bowl of soup to the brim and handed it to her.

She took a sip with both hands and said, "It's not hard to drink."

"It's not bad and you can't drink too much." Shen Ci and Wang Yifu came to her one step later, and Shen Ci continued to remind: "Although it is said that barley, lotus seeds, yam, and poria can be used for cooking, eating If there is too much, you will feel uncomfortable, be careful and find a doctor again."

Xu Xinyan listened to Shen Ci's words, but took a bowl of Gulu Gulu and drank up the whole bowl of soup, and then asked for another bowl and drank it all up.

Shen Ci looked at her and shook her head, and said, "Your gluttony is getting worse now."

Xu Xinyan drank three bowls of soup, finally put the bowl down, and said to the two of them, "Let's go."

They entered the Shengji Hall, where sutras hung high, the whole room was filled with cigarettes, and people's faces could not be seen clearly two or three steps away, people crowded and moved forward, on the two rows of futons at the front, more than a dozen people were Kowtow to Medicine King Bodhisattva.

The Medicine King Bodhisattva has a solemn Dharma appearance, with his eyes slightly closed, with one hand in the vow seal and the other holding the medicine pot.

The three of them burned incense, kowtowed, Xu Xinyan got up a step behind, closed his eyes and made a wish.

After paying homage to the Bodhisattva and turning around, when she was about to be at the door, a Taoist nun suddenly grabbed Wang Yifu's elbow and said, "Almsgiver, I see that your seal is black and blue. I'm afraid there will be disasters in the near future."

On this nun's head was a wooden hairpin tied with blue silk, and a white ribbon was tied at the bottom of her bun, hanging down behind her head. She was plain-looking and dressed very plainly, with a white inner dress and a Haitao blue vest and gown outside. It really has a bit of fairy flavor.

"Master Daoist, are you afraid you are scaring me?" Although Wang Yifu smiled back, she didn't seem to believe her words.

Xu Xinyan was much more anxious than Wang Yifu, and said, "Yifu, I remind you kindly, how can you talk like that."

She separated Wang Yifu from the Taoist nun step by step, and begged: "Master Daoist, don't worry about her, what disaster happened to her, how to solve it, tell me how much money is needed, just speak up, let's... ... figure out a way."

"The disaster can only be discussed with her, and how to resolve it can only be resolved by her alone. How can someone else do it for her own destiny?"

The Taoist spoke mercilessly, Xu Xinyan became anxious, and turned around to persuade Wang Yifu: "Yifu, I'd rather believe in what is there than in what is not."

She lowered her voice very low and said: "You still want to look for your father, what if there is a real disaster and you are kicked out of the palace?"

Wang Yifu seemed to be touched, and took another look at the priest.

Shen Ci also came over and persuaded in a low voice: "Listen to what she has to say, ask her a few words, if she is not sure, you don't have to pay."

This time Wang Yifu was embarrassed, and said with a frown, "Walking in the palace, the Food Bureau manages the food, and the internal affairs supervisor wears it. Why would I bring those yellow and white things with me?"

Xu Xinyan blinked her eyes, turned her back to the Taoist priest, groped from her bosom, and finally found a golden bean, stuffed it into Wang Yifu's hand, and whispered: "I picked it up at the Shangfu Bureau. Yes, it should be attached to a piece of clothing, but someone lost it."

The three of them winked at each other without saying anything.

Grabbing the golden bead, Wang Yifu gained confidence in her heart, and said to the Taoist nun, "Master Taoist, let's find a place with few people and talk about it."

"Please come with me."

Wang Yifu followed the Taoist priest to the back of the Shengji Temple. There were not many people here, but the Taoist priest took her into a courtyard further back, and there was no one caring about this place.

The Taoist nun pulled her to the corner, two walls blocked two directions, and there was no one around, she looked around for a while before she dared to call out: "Eve, I finally saw you."

Only then did Wang Yifu dare to get closer, and asked, "Auntie, why did you come into the palace?"

"When you entered the palace, I heard that the people in the palace would go to various temples in the capital to worship every year, so they settled down in the Majuqiao Niangniang Temple outside Dong'anmen. Who knew that you had no news...you are my sister. The only child, how can I feel sorry for her without you." With that, the Taoist nun wiped away her tears.
