Rather be a concubine

Chapter 225
The little lady who spoke was named Sun Qingman, she was the daughter of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, she is not very old now, just like Bo Yuqiao, she is about to reach the age of Ji.Sun Qingman's appearance is very good, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, black eyebrows and Qiong nose, slightly pink flesh, and the pear dimples on her cheeks when she smiles, it is really very touching.

However, Bo Yuqiao naturally doesn't care much about beauties. The reason why she pays attention to Sun Qingman is because this little lady has a concubine elder sister named Sun Qinghe who is currently in Prince Rui's mansion and is also one of the three concubines of King Rui. .

Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao now began to doubt Sun Qingman's motives for appearing in the Jingguo mansion at this moment. After all, this little lady is also a noble daughter of the Hou's mansion, even if she was invited by Yuan Yazhen to come to the peony garden to enjoy the flowers , and it would not be so strange to see three green dragons crouching in the ink pool.

Hearing Sun Qingman's words, a look of color flashed across Yuan Yazhen's eyebrows, and she chuckled immediately, and said.

"These three blue dragon Womo pools were bought back in Luoyang by the servants of the family the year before last. When they were first brought back to the capital, none of the three green dragon Womo pools had been harvested, but they had been raised in Zhuangzi for a year. Now look at them. It’s really good, and it’s finally not wasted a lot of painstaking efforts.”

Yuan Yazhen's words attracted all the young ladies to agree.Bo Yuqiao didn't have much interest in this peony garden, but now she really wanted to see what tricks Yuan Yazhen would use to deal with her.Bo Yurong is the young wife of the original mansion, and also his own sister-in-law, but she has never appeared here. Could it be that there is some kind of back trick?
When Bo Yuqiao was thinking about it, the peonies in the peony garden were more than half enjoyed by all the ladies, if they always admired the flowers, it would seem a bit too monotonous.Therefore, Yuan Yazhen spoke again.

"Now let's see and see the peony, and smell the rich aroma for a while, why don't we try 'Fried Thin Crisp' together?"

This "fried crispy" is not something else, but is made of very fresh and tender peony petals, fried with ghee. It is not an exaggeration to call it "fried peony with ghee", but this The types of peonies are a bit picky, and Yao Huang, who has a unique taste, is not used, and only the best petals can be used. Now there are so many young ladies standing in this peony garden, presumably more than ten Yao Huangs will inevitably be swallowed. I ate it.

In addition to the particularity of the petals, the ghee is not easy to get. You must use freshly made ghee to preserve the taste of peony.This ghee is made by cooling the milk that has been boiled three times, peeling off a layer of milk skin coagulated on the surface of the milk, and slowly frying it into an oily liquid with a golden color, so it is called ghee.Frying the blooming Yaohuang flower petals with meat oil such as ghee has a unique taste.

At any rate, the host's family was preparing to entertain all the ladies, so naturally no one turned her down without opening her eyes. Immediately, she followed Yuan Yazhen and walked slowly towards the dining hall of Duke Jing's mansion.

Before reaching the dining hall, Bo Yuqiao saw a woman she looked familiar to her. This woman was wearing a lingyun bun, wearing a red coral eight-treasure glass hairpin, and dressed in a colorful dress with Sichuan brocade and cloud patterns. With a gentle air.The face is as white as fat, and the facial features are dignified and beautiful, and they are five points similar to Feng's. Who else is not Bo Yurong?
Seeing Bo Yurong, although Bo Yuqiao said she was a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't show the slightest abnormality on her face, she just showed a slight smile, blessed her body to Bo Yurong, and said.

"Qiaoer greets Sister Rong."

Bo Yuqiao was so courteous, Bo Yurong immediately took a step forward, raised his hand to help the former, and then said with a smile.

"Sister Zhen held a flower viewing banquet today. Although it was all you young ladies who were waiting to be married, but because it was closer, I also came to join in the fun. Sister Zhen will not refuse?"

When talking about the latter part, Bo Yurong raised her eyes and looked at Yuan Yazhen who was standing there, her phoenix eyes were cold, like a mountain spring, extremely clear.

Seeing Bo Yurong's expression, Yuan Yazhen was not very comfortable, but Bo Yurong was her sister-in-law after all, and she was pregnant for more than a month, but the eldest son of the Jingguo Mansion couldn't neglect her .

Thinking of this, Yuan Yazhen cursed inwardly, but the smile on her face grew stronger, and she bowed to Bo Yurong in salute.

"Zhen'er greets my sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you have to take care of your body now, your stomach is our original treasure now, if you are surprised by Zhen'er's flower viewing feast, then my sister will be to blame even if she dies .”

At this moment, Bo Yurong didn't seem to understand Yuan Yazhen's implication, with a smile on her beautiful face, she shook her head slightly and said.

"Sister Zhen, you don't have to worry too much. Sister-in-law, I'm pretty healthy. It won't hurt me to stay here for a while at the flower viewing party."

At this moment, even Bo Yuqiao noticed some clues from the words of these two people.It seems that Bo Yurong probably had some quarrels with Yuan Yazhen, or she knew that Yuan Yazhen was trying to deal with her today, so she came to the flower viewing banquet to take a look when she was pregnant.

If that's the case, it's possible that this little lady, Bo Yurong, hasn't joined forces with Yuan Yazhen and others, nor has she done anything to disappoint Bo Yuqiao.

After Bo Yurong and Yuan Yazhen flirted with each other again, she followed Bo Yuqiao, and followed the crowd to the dining hall soon after.

At the moment, the tables in the dining hall are divided into two columns, about twenty sheets. Because using "fried thin crispy" is an extremely elegant thing, so I didn't use the Eight Immortals table and the Hu seat, but chose A table and a mat made of bamboo.

Bo Yurong knelt and sat beside Bo Yuqiao, but the mat under her knees was slightly different from others', it was a little thicker, even if she knelt on it, she still felt too unbearable.

When all the young ladies were kneeling and sitting in front of the table, several pretty maids in lotus root pink skirts and shirts filed in. These maids were all holding a mahogany tray with a palm-sized ruddy on it. Kiln porcelain dishes.The maids placed the porcelain plates in front of each little lady. There were more than a dozen pieces of fried golden and crisp peony petals inside. There was a strong milky aroma, which made Bo Yuqiao secretly curious.

When Yuan Yazhen smiled and let the young ladies taste it, the young ladies in the dining hall were not polite, they raised their chopsticks and put peony petals into their mouths.

The same is true for Bo Yuqiao. When the peony petals are about to enter the mouth, a crispy and fragrant taste of the flower spreads in the mouth. The ghee tastes mellow but not greasy, and it is probably the cook of the Yasukuni government. The workmanship is really good, the taste of this 'fried thin crispy' is extremely uniform, without the slightest burnt smell.

After frying the peonies with butter, it is natural to have a cup of green tea to relieve the greasy.

Bo Yuqiao was very clear at this moment. With Yuan Yazhen's mind, if she wanted to murder herself, she would not add food to her food. After all, it would be too obvious, and it would easily damage the reputation of the Yasukuni Mansion.Now Yuan Yazhen is also a young lady who has not yet discussed marriage, if her reputation is ruined, it may be difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, Bo Yuqiao fixed her eyes on the maid who came with the teacup.This servant girl looked very tender, about twelve or thirteen years old, although her facial features were pretty, they were not outstanding.At this moment, the servant girl stood behind Bo Yuqiao, and then spoke.

"Miss Bo, please have some tea."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao slightly turned her body to make it easier for the maid to put the teacup on the table.But Bo Yuqiao didn't expect that just a sideways movement of her made the servant girl unsteady and spilled hot tea on Bo Yuqiao's skirt.

Seeing this, the servant girl's face turned pale with fright, she didn't care about the water stains on the ground, so she knelt down in front of Bo Yuqiao and kowtowed for mercy.

"I hope Miss will spare her life! I hope Miss will spare her life!"

Hearing the maid begging for mercy, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help but frowned. In fact, although the tea soup was boiling hot, it was only sprinkled on her skirt and didn't hurt her. Naturally, it wasn't a serious problem, but The skirt shirt on his body was dripping wet, and it looked really rude.

Bo Yuqiao pursed her lips, and then said lightly.

"Just get up first, Miss Ben is fine."

Hearing this, the maid who was kneeling on the ground was still choking, her face was full of tears, she looked really pitiful.The servant girl turned her head and looked at Yuan Yazhen timidly. Seeing the latter nodding her head slightly, she stood up from the ground.

At this moment, Yuan Yazhen also came forward, with a very obvious look of guilt on her beautiful face, she kissed Bo Yuqiao and confessed her guilt.

"Miss Bo, it's Zhen'er who is incapable of disciplining her servants. After today's flower feast is over, I will teach this servant girl a lesson, and I will definitely not let her make such mistakes in the future!"

Bo Yuqiao was not interested in how Yuan Yazhen taught her servants a lesson. At this moment, she saw the ruthlessness in Yuan Yazhen's eyes that could hardly be concealed, and couldn't help laughing, secretly thinking that the good show had begun.

Shaking her head slightly in her heart, Bo Yuqiao lowered her brows and lowered her eyes, the smile on her lips never disappeared, she really looked submissive.

"Miss Yuan, don't want to be like this. Today's incident is not a serious problem. Qiaoer just got wet on the skirt, and the wind passed without a trace in a while, so I don't need to criticize that maid."

Hearing this, Yuan Yazhen was extremely disdainful of Bo Yuqiao's hypocritical appearance, but she still complimented her.

"Miss Bo is really kind-hearted. Now Zhen'er is really ashamed. Why don't Miss Bo follow Zhen'er to the wing room and change the wet clothes on her body, so that Zhen'er can feel better. some."

Listening to Yuan Yazhen's words, Bo Yuqiao couldn't help raising her crescent eyebrows slightly, and she couldn't stop laughing to herself. It really is this old-fashioned trick of changing the soup without changing the medicine, which is really boring.
