The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 15 Thanks
The commander walked around to Xue Li with the bottle, and Xue Li's eyes couldn't help but stop on the small bottle for a while.

The medicine bottle made of colored glass is very exquisite, a small cylinder of the same size as the whole body, the top is yellow, and the bottom is red after a section of slightly orange.The flying fish pattern coiled around the bottle is a pattern only used by imperial guards.

At this moment when she came back for the first time, she even mistook the flying fish pattern on their clothes for a dragon pattern!

"Hand." The commander spread out his palm and handed it to her, and Xueli's shoulders stiffened suddenly.

Then I saw her quickly put her arms behind her back, sitting upright and shaking her head vigorously, with two words on her face: No!
"..." The commander raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you do it yourself. This medicine is good and won't harm you."

The beautiful glass bottle was handed to her. Xue Li looked at the bottle, at him, at the bottle, at him again, "moved" a hand from behind, and took the bottle hesitantly.

She opened the lid and took a sniff, and a light medicinal fragrance came out.Only a hint of jasmine is slightly heavier, and the rest is too light to smell.

Picking out a little ointment with her fingers, Xueli rolled up her sleeves and carefully applied the ointment to the wound.After applying a thin layer, a comfortable cooling sensation spreads with the movement of the fingertips, and there is only a slight tingling sensation in the slightly injured area, which is not considered discomfort.

The commander said: "Your injury should be healed tomorrow."

... so useful? !

Sydney was pleasantly surprised for a moment, and then immediately thought of the female officials who were punished together that day.

The female officials were more seriously injured than them, and the medicine that the hospital can give to the maids is too little and too general. Several people have been suffering from fever these days, and they are secretly worried that if they continue to suffer like this, they will die.

However, according to what the commander said just now, this medicine seems to be of great value.Xueli wanted to save people, but felt that she was not very familiar with the commander, so it was difficult to ask for such a valuable thing.

The commander saw her lowering her head, her little face changed from sunny to cloudy for a while, and she didn't speak for a while, frowning: "What's wrong?"

Xue Li froze, raised her head, hesitated: "My lord, can you... help the sisters of Shangshi Bureau? They are seriously injured, some of them can't even eat, and they will die..."

"Do you want this medicine?" The commander heard her meaning and asked clearly.

Sydney nodded quickly, but he said, "No."

Her complexion inevitably collapsed.

The commander looked at her slumped look and thought for a while, breathing heavily: "You can't explain this medicine when you take it back to the Shangshi Bureau. Why don't I say hello to the Supreme Hospital and ask them to send some good medicine there ?”

"Can this be done?!" Sydney was overjoyed.

The commander nodded firmly: "Yes, yes."

"Thank you, my lord!" Her voice of thanks suddenly became very cheerful, she stood up and gave a blessing, her face full of gratitude.

After Xueli applied the medicine to the other arm, the two left the place where the medicine was put together.

Under the coverage of the medicated cream, the arms felt comfortable, and the atmosphere between the two seemed to relax accordingly.

After returning to the front yard, the commander turned around, and suddenly saw the little girl smiling, looked at her for a while, and said, "Are you here to look for Wei Chen?"

Sydney hesitated for a moment, and reacted for a moment: She almost forgot... There is still business to do today!
First, he was choked back by his gloomy face, and then interrupted by the matter of taking the medicine.If he doesn't ask, she will forget about it!
"No..." She shook her head in embarrassment, quickly took out the purse, held it in both hands, and said with a smile, "I came to thank you! I heard from Lord Wei that those tribute pears were given to my servants by adults. Without that...the servant probably has to go somewhere else!"

"You made it?" The commander smiled, took the purse over and looked at it, saw her nodding repeatedly, and said, "Is that dish specially prepared for me?"

"Hmm!" Sydney deserved it simply.

But he didn't listen to what the commander said.He seemed a little uncomfortable... He turned his head quickly, took two steps forward in a big stride, and said to her: "You should go back to Shangshi Bureau, I also have something to do."

That night, Zou Shangshi was startled by the news from the Tai Hospital.

Two imperial physicians came with ten female doctors, each female doctor held a box with six medicine jars in each box.It is said that it is for the court lady who was punished a few days ago, one can per person, it has a miraculous effect...

Just looking at the well-made medicine bottle, Shang Shi also knew that it "has a miraculous effect", and asked for a long time why the medicine was delivered, but the two imperial physicians just said one sentence: "It should be, it should be."

What is "should"?Why wasn't it "should" before?

Seeing the generous medicine, Xueli was dumbfounded, and thanked the commander many times in her heart, thinking that he is really a good person!
Four or five days after the "miracle effect" struck, the female officials recovered from their injuries.Then I heard that His Majesty's rash is all right, and everyone who has rested for a long time can continue to work.

In a blink of an eye, it's the snow festival.

On this day of "the snow has flourished since then", it really snowed heavily.The palace is covered with silver everywhere, and charcoal stoves have been added in the house, and the palaces also like to ask for more delicious soup or soup when ordering meals.

"Concubine Li ordered white fungus stewed with peach gum today, you guys make it." Cui Wan called Xueli and Zixian.As soon as the peach gum was received in their hands, the two looked at each other, and looked at Bai Ji together silently.

——Bai Ji's whereabouts have not yet been decided, she cried several times, and each time she had to make funny faces to make her happy.They wanted to help her, and they also wanted to help Jiang Yuyao, but when Jiang Yuyao saw the two of them, she looked bitter and bitter, and it was difficult to speak well.

Cui Wan frowned, glanced across the room between the three of them, and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around!"

"We all know how to do this, sister, why don't you give A Ji a chance..." Zi Xian begged, and Xue Li also said, "We can do it together with her."

"If she doesn't get promoted to the chief envoy, I can't let her take care of Li Fei's meals without authorization." Cui Wan took a deep breath and warned, "You two should be more honest, don't think that you can sit back and relax after being promoted. This The timing went wrong, and someone else will replace you."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them didn't dare to speak for Bai Ji anymore.Be obedient and do things honestly.

Peach gum is the glue secreted from peach trees, which is very hard and has an amber color.Before using this thing, you have to soak it in clear water for five or six hours before it becomes soft and usable, because you don't know when a concubine will order food for it, and the Shangshi Bureau soaks new ones every day for preparation.

Fortunately, it's not an expensive thing. If you don't need it after soaking it, just throw it away.

Zixian took an appropriate amount of peach gum.The soaked peach gum is clear in color, crushed between the fingers, and then put aside for later use.

The white fungus is freshly soaked. Sydney is always very nervous when making these for concubines by herself. She stares at it for half an hour without moving, then takes it out, cuts it into pieces, and puts it into the pot to simmer slowly.

After the white fungus is stewed for a while, add peach gum and rock sugar, and cook for a while.

Peach gum and semi-melted white fungus form a puddle under low fire. The unmelted peach gum is light brown, and the white fungus is a small translucent piece. lightly.

Put it into a white porcelain bowl with no other decorations, the light brown quilt contrasts vividly, making it crystal clear and attractive.

Two bowls were filled in this way, one bowl was put into a food box and waited for Concubine Li to pass on the meal, and the other bowl was presented to Cui Wan, asking her to taste it first.

Cui Wan was busy making a pasta dish, when she saw them serving it, she had to free up her hand to taste it first, she was also afraid that something might go wrong with the newly promoted young lady-in-waiting.

Holding the spoon, she picked it up and blew it, put the porcelain spoon into her mouth, Cui Wan pursed her lips, turned her head away suddenly, and frowned.

"...Sister?!" Zixian was startled first, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?!"

Cui Wan waved her hands, swallowed the mouthful reluctantly, and asked the two of them, "How much sugar did you put in?!"

Sydney was slightly startled.

At the beginning, I realized that I had misremembered Li Fei's preferences. After thinking about it carefully, Li Fei really likes sweets and always wants very sweets, so she answered truthfully: "Eight small pieces of rock candy."

"This is eight small pieces of rock candy?" Cui Wan put the bowl in front of her angrily, "Taste it yourself!"

Xueli was in a state of panic, not daring to breathe out, took a step forward but couldn't help but want to shrink back... took a sip.

so sweet! ! !

It was so sweet that her mind was blinded, and her heart was made uncomfortable.Feeling greasy in the throat, it took a long time to muster up the courage to swallow it down, and quickly explained: "I don't know! I tasted it after adding sugar, I don't know why it is so sweet..."

It's just rock sugar, eight small pieces shouldn't be so sweet.

Cui Wan's eyebrows twitched, and she asked the two of them again: "Who watched while we were suffering? Did you leave?"

"I was watching..." Su Zixian replied in a low voice, her eyes full of fear, "I, I left for a while when I was fetching rock candy. At that time, Sydney was helping Xue Nvshi chop vegetables. I think it's just Then I didn't call her for a while..."

She made a generalization, looked up at Cui Wan, and said aggrievedly: "But who would make candy for no reason...!"

"Go and re-soak the white fungus, I'll do it right away." Cui Wan said, handing the pastry she was making to the waiter next to her, and then glared at the two of them, "Go back and stew the white fungus with peach gum. Copy the method a hundred times. As for who did it, think about who you have offended!"

Xueli and Zixian looked at each other, but they didn't have time to think about who was stabbed, so they hurriedly prepared the white fungus.

When you know who it is, you have to settle the score with her!Copy it a hundred times!Another night of sleepless nights!
