Shangshi female official

"There is another possibility." Wang Yifu said.

"how?"

"I fell on my own."

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the dining room looked at her in unison, but everyone had different expressions on their faces, with expressions of disgust, resentment, clear conscience, and embarrassment.

She didn't say this to the people in the dining room, but she said it to Nanny Chen. No matter who the attacker is, the person behind her is obviously Qiu Shangshi.

"There is no proof, no proof, you shouldn't be so suspicious of your own people." Mother Chen said indifferently, "In the future, everyone should pay more attention. These things are all for the master and nobles to eat, so you should pay more attention."

Nanny Chen said to Ruan Sishan again: "In the future, when we hold a big banquet, we have to establish another set of rules. We can't continue to be so chaotic. People come and go, pour acid water today, and steal things tomorrow. In the end, we still can't catch them." It’s not like people are so lucky every time.”

Ruan Sishan bowed his head and said respectfully: "Understood, my lord."

Mo Xi was the only person left with a bad temper in this matter.

After Nanny Chen and Ruan Sishan left, she kept leaning against the door to smoke without saying a word. Wang Yifu asked her what she was thinking, and she said that she was recalling everyone who had entered the dining room yesterday.

"Are you still struggling with this? Mother Chen doesn't pursue it anymore, so you should let it go earlier."

Mo Xi shook her head while holding the cigarette stick, "I can't swallow this breath, and if there is such a person by my side, I will have trouble sleeping and eating even more."

Wang Yifu looked back, everyone was busy, she approached and whispered to Mo Xi: "The pickled taste has no spicy or other aroma, it looks like white pickled, and it must have been pickled for a certain period of time. Only then can the sour taste come out.

The palace cooks pickled vegetables for a long time, but there are not many cabbage and shepherd's purse. "

Mo Xi regained her spirits all of a sudden, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"There are not many meals that use white pickled vegetables every day. In our meal, let alone the past two days, we haven't used white pickled vegetables since we came here."

Mo Xi raised her head and glanced at the people in the room, then asked again: "Are you still suspicious of them?"

"If you get rid of your own people first, don't you feel more at ease when you do anything?"

"You're right, I'm going to the sauce library now."

Mo Xi's feet moved faster than her mouth, and she left before finishing her sentence, Wang Yifu also followed, saying, "I'll go with you."

There are two large sauce warehouses in the entire palace, one is at the Shangshan Supervisor, and the other yard is full of pickles in winter, and most of the palace ladies and eunuchs have some pickles in their diet in winter.

One is the red-walled alley next to the imperial dining room. There are sauce jars along the wall, including sweet noodle sauce, bean paste, chili sauce, shrimp sauce, etc., because there are only two people guarding the imperial dining room, one old and one young. The first one is Su Mama, and the younger one is surnamed Ba, and everyone calls her Aunt Ba.

The pickles are placed in the deepest part of the alley, and they are all half-person-high big sauce jars. Most of the pickles in the palace are purchased outside the palace. Each meal room will pickle some according to the master's taste, and the amount is not much.

The Imperial Dining Room needed pickles, so they took their own small jars and asked Mama Su or Aunt Ba to put them into the jars.

Mo Xi and Wang Yifu came empty-handed, Aunt Ba patrolled the jars and said, "We don't have extra jars for you, you should go back and get them."

Mo Xi pulled Aunt Ba aside, said with a smile, "Aunt Ba, we are not here to get pickles, but to ask you something."

"what's up?"

"In the past two days, has anyone come to pick up old pickles? The pickled ones?"

"Didn't there be a palace banquet in the past two days? Several people came to take it."

"Yes, how many people?"

"That's right, it's hot in summer now, and there are some sour ones to serve as appetizers for the wives, and there are also some who say they want stews."

Mo Xi was someone who had read the menu. There were indeed several sour appetizers on the menu, but none of them were made with white pickles.In the evening, there is a stewed white meat, which needs white pickled sauerkraut.

If you keep asking like this, you can't find out why. Wang Yifu thought that it would be best to simply invite Aunt Ba to the dining room to have a look, at least it would help them get rid of their own people.

"Aunt Ba, can you come with us for a while, those who come to get pickles, those who have been here for the past two days, you should remember your face."

"I'm so busy, I don't have time to run with you."

Wang Yifu immediately said again: "Aunt Ba, I have a string of pearls. I don't know if it is real or not. Please take a look for me, how about it?"

Aunt Ba is from the old palace, so she didn't know what she meant, so she glanced up and down at her out of the corner of her eye, tore off the rag from her shoulder and gave her a hard sweep, and scolded: "Who cares about your string of pearls? I don’t know if the origin is clean or not.”

Moxi hurriedly pulled Aunt Ba away, and persuaded: "Aunt Ba, she just entered the palace and doesn't understand the rules, so don't argue with her." Then she whispered a few words in Aunt Ba's ear.

Aunt Ba was surprised, she turned her head and asked, "Really?"

"It's true."

"Then I'll go with you."

Just like that, Mo Xi brought Aunt Ba back to the dining room. Aunt Ba looked left and right, pretended to try two dishes they pickled themselves, and smiled at Mo Xi, it's really good.

Aunt Ba walked around and left the door, then turned to Mo Xi and said, "The guy in the corner who tied pork belly with grass came here yesterday to beg for a small jar of pickled cabbage."

Mo Xi turned her head and saw that the person who tied the meat with straw was Xu'er.

She was about to go forward to have a seizure, but Wang Efu stopped her by grabbing her arm, and shook her head at her.

"Sister Mo Xi, you didn't remember what Aunt Ba said? Then you send Aunt Ba off and ask again."

Mo Xi was originally on fire, but she calmed down a little after hearing her words, and first sent Aunt Ba to the door of the imperial dining room.

Wang Yifu stood at the door and waited for her to come back. When she was a dozen steps away, she pulled her to the corner and whispered, "Don't turn your back on me, just go somewhere else tomorrow."

"And why? I still have to report to Mr. Chen, and to Gong Zhengsi."

"This matter itself is aimed at Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen told us to be careful. The case has already been finalized. She knows who it is in her heart, and she doesn't plan to turn the world upside down. How can we go against Mr. Chen's will?"

"Just let them go like this."

"It's not letting her go, it's not time yet, what's the use of catching her alone, the people behind her are the key.

Mr. Chen always told me, wait for the opportunity, I am waiting for the opportunity to come from Neijiaofang to the palace, and it is also the opportunity for you to wait for the opportunity to sit in the palm of the hand.Mo Xi, let's not worry, just wait a little longer. "

Mo Xi took a deep breath, and then let it out heavily, "What you said makes sense, bear the humiliation and bear the burden, keep a low profile, then just wait."

When the two of them returned to the dining room, they realized that Weishi was almost over, so they hurriedly took care of the carp that they were going to make for the evening.
