The Empress Dowager

Chapter 13 Strange People

"Second Miss." At this moment, a female voice came. Nangong Yue looked up and saw a nanny walking towards her. The nanny blessed her and put the four-color pastry in her hand. In front of Nangong Yue, she said, "Second Miss."

"En." Nangong Yue responded, turned her body sideways, looked at the lush surroundings of the lake, dotted with lotus flowers in the lake, a breeze came, and the fragrance of lotus flowers filled the nose, which was very pleasant to smell, and said: "On weekdays, the garden How do you take care of the flowers and plants here?"

"Returning to Second Miss, the garden is usually taken care of by us women, who offer flowers to each house according to the number every day. If there are any fruits, we will pick delicious ones and send them to each house." The mother said.

"Well, I heard that my eldest sister is afraid of the heat, and she hasn't been eating well recently. You can ask the boatman to pick some young lotus tips from the lake when the weather is slightly cooler tomorrow. It may be good to boil them slightly and mix them with sweet and sour. " Nangong Yue said.

Although Nangong Yue doesn't know how to cook, she is a gourmet. Even though she doesn't have cooking skills, she can comment on the food well, which makes the mother-in-law stunned.

"For another example, after more than a month, the sweet-scented osmanthus will bloom. How about you, spread the silk under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree every day, take the fallen flowers to sugar dip, bury them in the ground for the winter, and open them up next year to make tea It’s still much cleaner to make pastries than outside.”

At this moment, Dongmei came over, holding a small wooden box in her hand. Seeing this, the nanny put away the pastry for some reason, instead she looked guilty:
"It turns out that the second miss has asked Miss Dongmei to bring the pastries. After all, the ones made in our big kitchen are no better than those made by Linglong Courtyard. In this case, why don't the second miss give us these pastries."

Nangong Yue nodded, thinking that this nanny was a little weird, but she couldn't tell where the blame was?Nangong Yue frowned as she looked at the disappearing figure of the nanny. She looked around subconsciously. It seemed that someone was secretly watching her from behind the veranda on the shore. After thinking about it, Nangong Yue ate half of herself. The mung bean cake was crushed in half again and sprinkled into the water.

"It's so strange, Mama Mama always likes to join in the fun in front of the eldest lady, why did she finally think of being a gardener today?"

Dongmei put the snacks on the table and said:

"It's hot today, and the small kitchen has made a lot of cool and refreshing snacks. I thought the lady was weak, so I only took some of each, and gave the lady a taste."

"Come, sit, and eat together."

"The slaves dare not."

"If you tell you to eat, you will eat. Why are you so rigid?"

Fortunately, Yuyu is fine.Nangong Yue then raised her eyes, frowned deliberately, and handed a piece of pastry to Dongmei.The little girl hesitated for a long time, then took it, took a sip quietly, but stopped eating, and stood next to Nangong Yue, fanning the cattail leaf.

Nangong Yue took out the small folding fan at her waist and waved at Dongmei.

"Second Lady"

Dongmei stopped what she was doing and walked over. Nangong Yue opened the fan directly and slapped Dongmei a few times. The little girl almost immediately backed up a few steps in shock, and kept calling Second Miss.

"Why are you hiding, you fan me, it's only fair that I fan you!"

This little girl has been with her for a few days, but she is dexterous in doing things, it's just that this little girl doesn't understand.

Speaking of it, I have never seen it before, this little girl always considers Nangong Yue's physical weakness in everything she does, and I don't know who instilled this idea in her, making Nangong Yue want to eat meat and drink alcohol less than.

　Boiling: cuān, cooking method, put the food in boiling water and cook for a while.
