Shangshi female official

Only then did Wang Yifu realize that they had been busy with the queen's empress's birthday party, wearing stars and moons every day, and hadn't seen Xinyan for a long time, and the strange thing was that Xinyan also didn't see Xinyan coming to find them.

"However, what is Xinyan doing recently?" Wang Yifu asked.

"I heard that Li Niangniang is going to prepare a dowry for her daughter and ask the Shangfu Bureau to embroider the Xiapei. I think she is probably doing this."

"Mistress Li's second daughter, Princess Jiahe?"

Shen Ci nodded, but Wang Yifu was taken aback when she heard it, and murmured: "She has reached the age to get married..."

"If we hadn't entered the palace, shouldn't we be friends at home?"

Wang Yifu has mixed feelings for a while, she is the same age as Princess Jiahe, now one is going to get married wearing a phoenix coronet worn by her mother, and the other has no mother and has rough hands, and she still needs to rely on these hands to seek a chance to seek justice.

She was depressed for a while, when she heard Shen Ci calling her, she immediately cleared away her grievances, and then asked with a smile: "Do you also want to meet a good man?"

"Of course not. I haven't read all the books on food and drink in the world. After cooking all the good dishes I can cook, I finally come here to study. How can I get married? Then my ten years of hard work and hard work will be in vain. .”

"Shen Ci, Shen Ci, I said in my heart that you are a culinary idiot, but you are absolutely right. You have nothing else in your heart except learning how to cook."

"Speaking of which, it will be the seventh day of the seventh lunar month soon, so you won't remember that incident, will you?"

"How can she forget that she pulled me in the first year, and pulled you together in the second year, so she has to beg fairies every year, put needles in the water every year, but she is busy this year, Do you have time to dry the water?"

Shen Ci sighed: "This year, I have to hide for a while."

"Isn't it? Every Qixi Festival, she looks like a festival, but we look like we're going through a catastrophe."

"But if Qixi is gone without her, it's really like something is missing. The two of us still have to go through a catastrophe. Don't make Xinyan sad."

"Okay, okay, you are a good big sister, I will listen to you."

It was late at night, and Wang Yifu and Shen Ci went to bed after washing up. The next day, Mo Xi told Nanny Chen that she wanted Shen Ci to come to the dining room. Nanny Chen made arrangements to go to Gong Zhengsi very quickly. Shen Ci came over.

On the seventh day of July, due to the accident at Longevity Mountain that year, there were no celebrations in the past few years, and then on the [-]th day of July, all the shrines or Buddhist temples inside and outside the palace were doing posthumous dojos.

Feng Xiaobao came to tell Wang Yifu where the holy decree was found, and Wang Yifu asked Feng Xiaobao if the palace would invite Taoist aunts and Taoists from outside to perform ceremonies, and Feng Xiaobao said yes.

Wang Yifu guessed that my aunt would definitely find a chance to come in, so she went to Shengji Hall first on the seventh day of July. From the seventh day to the fourteenth, she had seven days to go to different ashrams in the palace. Find one.

Fortunately, I ran into my aunt in the Shengji Temple that day, and my aunt gave her a wink, and we met in the backyard last time.

Wang Yifu pulled her aunt to the corner, and asked softly, "Auntie, can you find a way to deliver things to the palace?"

"Hand what?"

"You can buy some of the salt in the Jingzhong Market and let me distinguish it."

"If you want to give something, it's best not to give it to someone else. In this way, I will buy some in the next two days. If you come again on the day of the Ghost Festival, there must be a lot of people in the temple that day, so that we can hide our communication."

"Alright."

Now that Wang Yifu can communicate with her aunt, she doesn't say much, lest people become suspicious and stare at the two of them.

Having not seen Xu Xinyan for so many days, Shen Ci was a little worried, and before going out in the morning, she specifically told Wang Yifu to go find Xu Xinyan with her after she was done with the dining room.

After the two of them finished their dinner, they asked Mo Xi for leave, went to find Xu Xinyan a little lazy, and made her favorite osmanthus cake.

Now is the time when sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are blooming and fragrant. The fragrance of several sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the imperial dining room penetrates the kitchen. People who cook these days are immersed in this fragrance, feeling very comfortable.

Shen Ci picked some osmanthus flowers that bloomed well a few days ago, boiled them and dried them in the sun. Today, she steamed several baskets of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. She kept a basket in her dining room and gave a basket to Nanny Chen and Nanny Zhou, and was caught again. Wang Yifu sent a cage to Imperial Physician Du Zha, and then made a greased paper bag to send some to Yue Hong.

Take the last cage intact and go to the Shangfu Bureau to find Xu Xinyan.

When they arrived at the door of the embroidery room of the Shangfu Bureau, it was also dark, and the door of the embroidery room was wide open. Xu Xinyan, who was in the room, was so busy that she couldn't lift her head. She bent over the embroidery frame, pulling needles and threads on it.

It's not just her, the twelve people in this embroidery room are all doing the same movements. Although the embroidery room is lit, there are two booth lights on the left and right of a maid, after all, it is not as bright as the daylight. If you look at the needlework for a long time, you will definitely damage your eyes.

"Words." Shen Ci called out.

Xu Xinyan hurriedly raised his head, saw the two of them as if they were seeing a savior, and smiled unbelievably happily, ran out and asked, "Why are you here?"

When Xu Xinyan came to the front, Wang Yifu and Shen Ci realized that she had lost a lot of weight, her small round face could show her small pointed chin, her eyes were swollen with tears, and even by the moonlight they could see that the bags under her eyes were turning black.

She rubbed her eyes with her hand, Shen Ci quickly took her hand and said: "Don't rub it, be careful to damage your eyes."

Shen Ci carefully blew on her, and asked softly: "Is it better?"

Xu Xinyan blinked her watery round eyes, and said yes with a foolish smile.

"Why are you still busy so late?" Wang Yifu asked.

"Ms. Li is going to marry her daughter, and she has to prepare a dowry. She said that everything that needs to be used must be newly made. We need to embroider some patches, screen fans and the like. Let's start..."

"Isn't it possible to buy these things from outside the palace, or from the tribute?"

Xu Xinyan shook his head helplessly, and said: "The lady said that the things outside are not as good as those made in the palace, and she ordered to make a set, and then pick the best ones, but it will be hard for us."

Shen Ci hissed, and said: "You can keep your voice down, can you talk nonsense?"

Xu Xinyan said aggrievedly: "I haven't had a good sleep for many days, and Li Niangniang is really too. I don't know who it is yet, so I started making the dowry first."

Wang Yifu was surprised and said: "Could it be that the son-in-law doesn't know who it is?"

"The marriage of the emperor's daughter is such an important matter. If the son-in-law is ready, how can the palace not know about it? The emperor promised Li Niangniang that this year he would definitely marry Princess Jia and Princess Jia. Li Niangniang was so happy that she pressed Shangfu The Bureau is starting to do stuff."

Wang Yifu held back her laughter and said, "This is a new thing."
