Chapter 316 (1/2)
In Youlan Hall of Prince's residence.
Because she didn't want to go out, Jiang Xuan, who had a lunch break, only wore a horse bun, put in two new red gold peony hairpins, put a precious blue chinchilla fur coat on her body, leaned against the pillow of Suozi brocade behind her, and held a small copper fire sheath in her hand. She was poking the ashes in the stove.
When she came back from the palace of the king of Jin, mother Qin didn't even come to change her clothes, so she came to Jiang Yi.
”Have you got it?” Jiang Yi's facial expression is light, lazy body lean on that to ask.
”The fourth aunt refused for a while before accepting it.” Mammy Qin said with a flattering face, ”when she said it was time to let lilac kowtow three times in the direction of the prince's mansion when she got married.”
Jiang Yi also quite satisfied of nod, continue to fiddle with the carbon ash in the hand stove.
On the contrary, Mammy Qin was puzzled and said, ”it's just a servant girl around the fourth aunt who got married. Why does the empress go out of her way to send a gift?”
Jiang Yi stopped his action and glanced at mother Qin.
”Mammy is also an old man with me. Can't you even see this relationship?” Jiang Yi said with some displeasure, ”although Jiang Wan and Jiang Shu and I were sisters, when I left home, they were still two little girls who didn't know anything, which made the love between us frivolous.”
”Now one of them is the wife of emperor Shizi of Jin Dynasty, and the other is the empress of shoufei in the palace. It seems useless to look at them now,” she said, dropping her eyelids and continuing to fiddle with the soot in her hands. ”But this kind of human relationship is getting more and more popular. We don't get in touch with them much. Who will talk to them when we really need their help?”
”I don't think so. They're all your sisters, especially Princess Shou. They're your sisters! If you have something to do, won't she come out to support you? ” Mother Qin stood aside and said.
”If this feeling is divided, it's useless to kiss another sister.” Jiang Yi casually waved his hand, and then drew a beautiful arc with the tortoiseshell inlaid gold armor case on his little finger, ”have you found the recipe I asked you to ask?”
Speaking of this, Jiang Yi changed the topic.
”Yes, yes.” Mother Qin answered repeatedly, and then took out the recipe that Jiang Wan had given her before from her skirt.
Jiang Yi also put down the hand stove, took the recipe from mother Qin's hand and looked at it carefully.
As she watched, her face became serious.
”You said she asked the people in the kitchen to copy it?” Jiang Xun expressed some doubts about the recipe he was holding in his hand.
”Yes, the fourth aunt said that she chooses three or five dishes on it every day.” mammy Qin doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. ”What she eats today is the crispy duck and fresh mushroom on it.”
”Is that what she told you?” Jiang Yi has some unexpected eyebrows.
Together with Cui Yingying, she is in charge of the prince's mansion. Cui Yingying is in charge of the clothes of the four seasons in the mansion, while she is holding the expenses in the kitchen.
So just a moment ago, she could see the cost of every dish in the recipe.
Like crispy duck, a duck doesn't cost much, but the spices used to pickle duck are not cheap.
And fresh mushrooms and vegetable heart, if put in spring and summer, it's no big deal, but it happens that it's already winter here, and it's not only possible to buy fresh mushrooms and vegetable heart at a high price. Therefore, at this time in the past years, she would ask the kitchen to remove all these seasonal dishes, so as not to let any one in the backyard become fashionable
This kind of seasonal food makes the kitchen and shopping difficult.
She frowned and continued to look down.
