Chapter 500

"The girl is in the boudoir, how can she comb such a bun, if you let others see it, it will inevitably look down on you, or let Roulan comb your hair in a small bun, just shake this phoenix tail tassel on one side of the hairpin to add some luxury. Mama Chang didn't want to comb Qu Yao's hair, but just took apart the bun she held on the top of her hair and stepped aside, smiled and took out a gilded phoenix tail tassel hairpin from the makeup box and handed it to Roulan's hand.

Qu Yao nodded without much thought.

On the contrary, Roulan, who held the tassel hairpin in her hand, heard this, her face was bitter, although she quickly restrained the expression on her face, but it still fell into Chang Mama's eyes.

"Roulan, you have to be quicker, finish the rules earlier, and let the girl rest earlier. Although Mama Chang was smiling and talking, in Roulan's ears, it was full of knocking.

"The slave knows. Roulan didn't dare to look directly into Mama Chang's eyes, she was busy with a short body, and answered softly, and then took the comb handed over by Mama Chang, and combed Qu Yao's two heads neatly, shook the phoenix tail tassel step by step, gently put the hairpin on the side of the bun, and quietly retreated to the side after adjusting the position slightly.

Mama Chang retracted her eyes with satisfaction, looked at the little eunuch who was probing her brain under the porch, raised her hand slightly, and motioned for Yao Hua to go over and take a large porcelain bowl with a lid in the little eunuch's hand.

The bowl wasn't the next thing, it was she who told Ruri to get ice.

These ice cubes are obviously not for Qu Yao to make smoothies to eat, but another means of torture by Mama Chang - containing ice water, which is also the moment when she spit the cold soup on the table just now. A way to come up with it.

If it were someone else, Mama Chang's method would not work at all.

But for Qu Yao. Mama Chang was 80% sure that Qu Yao would digest all these ice cubes into her stomach. As for why, it is naturally because of the annual palace banquet.

Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, Ruerfu, these royal relatives have to enter the palace for a banquet.

There is no need to elaborate on how many princes and Baylors are in this capital, in short, there are many, many people, and in order to show the importance of the hundred officials, the old man Kangxi often feasts the hundred officials in front of him on this day.

What is the imperial meal, that is, the elaborate dishes, it is not a big pot in the big canteen that is enough for a hundred and ten people to eat. This table is calculated, even if the preparation is started early, the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room cannot guarantee that these dishes will be hot on the table, at most, the old man Kangxi and those who are valued by the old man Kangxi can eat hot dishes, and the others can eat without ice teeth.

How to eat these cold things into your stomach without showing a bad expression, that is also what you want to practice, and the best way is to practice endurance, which is the reason why Chang Mama came up to persuade Qu Yao.

Yao Hua was making tea on the side. Feeling Mama Chang's malicious smile, she couldn't help but shudder, and then replaced Qu Yao, who was putting on makeup in the inner room, and silently lit a candle in her heart. Pray that she won't be played too badly by Mama Chang!

"Girl, let's get ready, then let's take advantage of this time to practice walking!

To say this walk. It is also a science, and it can't be as popular as those old men. It can't be twisted and pinched like a small jasper, but it also has to show a soft and charming state. This degree is the key, and this feeling can only be understood but not expressed, so it takes a lot of practice.

I saw that the girl was still wearing one-inch-tall embroidered shoes with the bottom of a flower pot, so I had to practice even more. After speaking, Mama Chang didn't give Qu Yao a chance to refuse, and led her directly to the corridor, motioned her to stand on the side and watched, then took the handkerchief pinned to the placket in her hand, and walked around the corridor twice as a demonstration.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Although Mama Chang is over forty years old, her figure is a little bloated, and her clothes are also dark-toned, so it can be said that she can't find it if she is lost in the crowd, but the weak willow-like posture makes people reluctant to look away, and even Qu Yao looks at it and nods again and again, and I can't wait to learn this walking posture that seems to swing willows with the wind and does not see the wind and dust in three moments.

"Mama, the way you walk looks so good. Mama Chang returned to Qu Yao and stood still, and Qu Yao unabashedly appreciated.

Mama Chang smiled and bowed, and said softly: "The girl studies hard and can walk very well." After speaking, she handed the silk handkerchief she was holding in her hand to Qu Yao's hand, instructed Qu Yao to pinch it with three fingers, and straightened her posture for her, and then gave an order and let her start pacing under the corridor.

That's two quarters of an hour......

Although the embroidered shoes at the bottom of the flower pot on Qu Yao's feet are not high, but the first time she walked like this, she had to maintain an elegant posture, but she was still tired, just after such a while, she had already broken her feet a few times, and she was also protected by Roulan and Yao Hua, otherwise she didn't know how many heels she would have to fall!

"Mama, let's rest, go on any longer, I won't be able to ask for this foot. Qu Yao said in a coquettish voice while wiping the sweat with the handkerchief in his hand.

"Then go in and have a cup of tea and rest!" The ice cubes that Mama Chang specially asked for were naturally not in vain, so she didn't let Qu Yao continue to practice, nodded with a smile, and helped Qu Yao into the wing room as she spoke.

In the wing, Roulan Qu Yao stepped into the door, and had already prepared the tea soup that Mama Chang had ordered to prepare, two one-inch square ice cubes were in the middle of the tea bowl, which was gradually melting, and the temperature in the warm tea was quickly taken away, and when Qu Yao sat on the Taishi chair and took off the embroidered shoes at the bottom of the flower pot that imprisoned her feet, the ice cubes only gave birth to two small ones, and on the wall of the cup, small water droplets were also condensed.

"Girl, let's have a cup of tea!" Mama Chang quietly wiped the water droplets on the wall of the cup, smiled and sent the tea bowl to Qu Yao's hand, said softly, and then told Qu Yao that she had already thought of the words, and after some polishing, she told Qu Yao with a smile, and watched Qu Yao drink the iced tea into her stomach in one sip.

It's just that this time, Mama Chang is destined to be disappointed.

She didn't see the slightest look of pain on Qu Yao's face. On the contrary, Qu Yao seemed very pleasant, although there was a hint of bitterness in the iced tea. But it's a good thing to quench your thirst, and you often drink ice water in modern times. Qu Yao has long been accustomed to this temperature.

Although she wasn't sweating at this moment, she still felt a little hot.

A cup of cold tea made her feel comfortable to the top, and she didn't even wait for Mama Chang to urge her, she handed the cup to Roulan's hand and motioned for her to have another cup.

Mama Chang was a little disappointed that her calculation had failed, but she didn't reveal it, she just smiled and stopped Roulan from adding ice cubes to the tea bowl, turned her head to Qu Yao, and said slowly: "It's too cold." It is better for the girl to touch less, because she has to practice the rules and adapt to the cold temperature, so she has to let the girl drink some cold tea.

But if you drink too much cold tea, you will inevitably have an uncomfortable stomach, and this is only secondary, if you hurt the girl's body and fall into the lesion in the future, it will be my dereliction of duty as a grandmother. ”

After speaking. Mama Chang told Yao Hua to go to the small kitchen to ask for hot ginger tea.

"Although the taste of ginger tea is unpleasant, it is a good thing to ward off the cold. At Shangqu's incomprehensible eyes, Mama Chang explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Qu Yao smiled and nodded. Stretched out his hand and touched his shriveled little belly, grabbed Mama Chang's sleeve like a coquette, and whispered: "Mama looks at the arrangement." It's just that I'm so hungry that I'm a little dizzy. ”

Mama Chang likes to be a kite flyer the most, and at this time she is the means of Qu Yao. is also the same, so when I saw Qu Yao, I was coquettish. He also showed a loving smile like a mother for her young son, raised her hand and brushed the tassel hanging from Liqu Yao's ear, and said softly: "It is estimated that the small kitchen has been almost prepared, and Yao Hua will be able to bring back the girl's food when he comes back in a while.

"Mama is the best. Qu Yao was successfully played by Mama Chang again, nodded heavily with emotion, and said with a smile, after speaking, he couldn't wait to let Roulan refill a cup of hot tea for herself, and then supported Roulan to bring the embroidery pier for Mama Chang to sit on, and then looked at the door with a blank look.

In this regard, Mama Chang only sneered twice in her heart, and then turned her attention.

Qu Yao waited for a long time with a stick of incense, only to see Yao Hua enter the door with a strange face carrying a food box.

Qu Yao, who was tortured by hunger and was already lying on the table, couldn't care about thinking about Yao Hua's wrongness at all, and hurriedly beckoned her to set the meal, and even more eagerly turned his head to Roulan, who also felt inappropriate, and ordered loudly: "Quickly prepare a handkerchief and hot tea for me." ”

Hot veils and hot tea are ready-made, Qu Yao quickly finished wiping his face and rinsing his mouth, and continued to rub his stomach with saliva, but the moment she saw the food Yao Hua placed on the table, she was stunned.

Compared with the delicious delicacies that were completely cooled on the table before, these in front of me are like pig food, a plate of shallots and tofu coarsely mixed together, a plate of cucumber shreds marinated in a sauce, a bowl of cabbage gangs fried with fatty slices, a cabbage leaf with a small sauce plate, and a bowl of brown rice that looks yellow but not yellow, white but not white, it is simply light and frugal to a certain extent.

"This is ......" Qu Yao's fingers trembled a little and pointed to a few dishes on the table, no, no, these can't be counted as a few dishes, at most a few side dishes, staring at Yao Hua in disbelief, stumbling and saying.

"Back to the girl, the stove in the small kitchen has been sealed, and there are no ingredients, these dishes, or Yu Mama worked hard to come out, and specially asked the slave to tell you, wronged girl, will be prepared for the girl at night. ”

Although Yao Hua has been saying good things for Mama Yu, she also knows that Mama Yu deliberately made things difficult for Qu Yao because she was ordered, otherwise, with Mama Yu's ability, even if all the ingredients in the small kitchen are used up, she can also go to the big kitchen to get ingredients for Qu Yao to get a table of hearty meals.

But even if he knew this, Yao Hua didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of style.

After all, everything in this East Courtyard belongs to Li Fang Fujin, and the one who can support the small kitchen steward is naturally Li Fang Fujin, the lesser of two evils, on the one hand, she is the side Fujin who controls her life and death, and on the other hand, she is an ordinary woman who doesn't even have a name, as long as Yao Hua is not stupid, she knows how to choose.

Although Qu Yao didn't notice that Yao Hua's face was wrong, it didn't prevent her from finding something wrong in the dish, not to mention the side, just talking about the outrageously rough shallot tofu and the gray-black soil on the tofu, she knew that someone was definitely cheating her.

"Can you eat this thing?" Qu Yao poked the soil on the tofu with chopsticks, turned his head to Chang Mama, Roulan, and Yao Hua, and said with a wry smile.

"Girl, if you are an ordinary person, then it would be excellent to have a piece of tofu to eat, you will be settled!" Chang Mama didn't expect Liuli to arrange it so excessively, looking at Qu Yao's already somewhat green face, she had to suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, and comforted gently.

"If the girl doesn't like this, why don't you try this dish.

If you want to say that the pickles pickled in our small kitchen, the taste is not lost to those sold by time-honored brands outside, the salt is crisp and refreshing, and it is definitely a good thing to eat. Roulan also said with a look of embarrassment.

Speaking of how Qu Yao lived before, Roulan didn't know, but since she arrived in the house, even if she didn't have a serious reputation, she followed the treatment of Gege, there were four dishes and one soup for each meal, and the meal was also tribute rice from the south, such a simple and shabby meal was really the first time it was delivered to Qu Yao's eyes.

"Hehe......" Qu Yao looked at the embarrassed expressions of the three of them without exception, and sneered twice.

Don't look at her living environment since she was a child, she is not worried about eating and drinking, but when she came here, she was really guilty, although she has not fallen into the situation of eating grass roots and gnawing tree bark, but there is no shortage of leftovers, if she encounters less things to come back, she may have to be hungry for one or two meals, just order a shabby meal, for her, at most, it will make her feel bad.

Although she didn't find these things difficult to swallow, she hated Li even more.

No wonder this woman who was the first to follow Yongzheng ended up like that, and even the only son who grew up safely was driven out of the palace and became the son of the unlucky guy who was cut off!

Qu Yao thought about how unlucky the Li family would be in the future, and while taking those meals that didn't taste good to his mouth one by one, he chewed viciously, as if he was chewing Li's meat, and ate them with relish.

This time, not only Roulan and Yao Hua felt cold in their hearts, but even Mama Chang's eyes widened a little meaningfully, and for the first time she suspected that her previous decision was wrong or right!
