Chapter 61: You can get whatever you want to eat. What’s the difference between you and an ordinary slave?
Xiao Jin: "No...no more, right?"
Wenjiu looked at it carefully for a long time: "I trust you for now." Then she climbed down lazily.
"Master! Why don't you get up? Remember that Emperor Star likes that wonton. You should get ready. Let's try to win a few more hearts of the emperor." Xiao Jin also began to feel a sense of crisis.
Wenjiu didn't even open his eyes: "Let me rest for a while, now even if the king of heaven comes, don't even think of asking me to get up!"
Xiao Jin struggled to push the warm wine away: "Think about it, wontons are love, how can we leave love behind and not pick it up?"
Wen Jiu was so annoyed by it that he grabbed its ears and threw it to the ground: "If he wants to eat anything, I will give it to him. What's the difference between him and an ordinary servant? You are still young, so don't get involved in this matter."
These words made Xiao Jin confused, and Wen Jiu took the opportunity to relax.
The space inside is actually similar to the dream of Wen Jiu. When I close my eyes to rest, I feel that every part of my body feels comfortable.
Just as she was dozing off, she suddenly heard Shanzha calling her anxiously: "Girl, girl, wake up!"
Wenjiu opened his eyes and stretched: "What's wrong?"
Shanzha: "Sister, please get up quickly. Nanny Sun from Fu Jin's place is here."
"Madame Sun?" Wen Jiu was surprised. "Isn't that Madame who came with the concubine?"
While Shanzha was helping him warm the wine and dress, he replied, "Yes, he came with something, saying he wanted to give you a reward."
Wenjiu nodded, got up and left the room.
"Miss, how are you?" Nanny Sun seemed not to notice that Wenjiu came out of the small room, and just greeted with a smile.
Wen Jiu also laughed: "Why bother to come here, Madam? If Fu Jin has any instructions, Madam, just let someone know."
Nanny Sun said, "The Lady has taken a liking to the young lady. Today, she saw this butterfly-shaped hairpin inlaid with jade and gilded with gold. She said it would be a perfect match for the young lady. She was worried about sending a reckless maid to do the same thing, so she asked me to go."
After entering the main hall, Nanny Sun presented a box.
Along with the gilded hairpin, a set of gilded earrings was also delivered.
"Thank you, Madam, for still thinking of me. Quickly gather the hawthorns."
Nanny Sun then smiled and said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
Wen Jiu just nodded: "I'll take Madam away."
After sending the person away, Shanzha supported Wenjiu and walked back into the house: "Miss, what does this Fu Jin mean? She suddenly became nice to you, which is really creepy."
Wenjiu casually picked up the hairpin and took a look at it. The gold-plated workmanship was not very delicate, but it was still a good choice for him to have a concubine.
However, Wenjiu didn't like it very much. She preferred simpler things. Why did she have to gild such good silver jewelry?
He casually put it in the box and said: "Keep it well. As long as it's a gift, it's a good thing. No matter what Fu Jin thinks, it's best if there is no trouble. If there is really trouble, then we can just fight it out with our own strength."
Shanzha nodded in agreement and said, "Miss, shouldn't we get ready now? It's almost time for dinner."
Wen Jiu also glanced at the time: "Forget it, I can't sleep anymore."
He turned around and walked towards the small kitchen next to him, intending to do something simple.
It is called a small kitchen, but in fact it only has a pot and no firewood, rice, oil or salt.
Wenjiu looked around and found nothing except half a basin of leftover rice.
"Miss, can Shanzha clean up the rice?" Shanzha felt something was not right when she saw Wenjiu pick up the rice.
Sure enough, Wenjiu said with a smile: "Leave it there, I'll make some food to satisfy your craving later..."
"girl!"
"girl!"
Before he could finish his words, the three people serving him all looked at Wen Jiu with horror on their faces.
Wen Jiu was amused: "Don't worry, if we don't give it to Lord Beile, we will eat it."
Then he looked at Xiaodouzi and ordered, "Go to the kitchen and find Sun Dazhi. Tell him to get some fresh fruit. If you have milk, bring some too. Also, see if you have shrimp, crab, conch, scallop, or anything like that. If not, get some beef and vermicelli."
It has been several days since I came here, and Wenjiu misses the spicy crayfish from the night market stalls very much. I don’t know if I can find shrimps and crabs at this time.
"Hey, I'll go right away." Xiaodouzi said, and ran away, making the other three people laugh.
Wenjiu was not idle either. He beat a few eggs into the leftover rice, chopped some vegetables and diced lean meat, added oil and salt to season, and pan-fried them into pancakes.
Just as the cakes were finished, Xiaodouzi came back, followed by Sun Dazhi, who looked very happy, and two little eunuchs. Their hands were full of things.
"Greetings, young lady. I saw that Xiaodouzi couldn't be carried by himself, so I brought it here together. Please see if there is anything missing. I will ask them to get it."
Sun Dazhi's eyes narrowed into slits due to laughing.
"You've made such a tiring trip, have some hot tea to warm your stomach."
"Hey," Sun Dazhi responded without any hesitation. He took the big bowl from Nanny Song's hand and took a sip.
Then, he took a deep breath: "Oh, girl, what did you do? It smells so good."
Wen Jiu pointed casually and said, "Here, I just fried some pancakes. If you don't mind, why not try some?"
Wenjiu handed the large bowl of pancakes to Shanzha and said, "Go ahead and share it among the others. Call the two eunuchs in too. It's so cold, don't let them get frozen."
There is a lot of rice left, and it may be difficult for so many people to eat enough, but two pieces are enough for each person, and there is still one piece in the pot for warming wine.
The two young eunuchs outside were so cold that their faces turned red. They never thought that Miss Wen would let them in.
Most of these servants were not allowed to enter the house, even in the rain or snow. If they met a powerful eunuch, they would not even let them stand in the corridor.
Not only did they enter a warm house, but Hawthorn Girl also stuffed a piece of fragrant cake into their hands. They ate it while it was hot, and both of their eyes were a little red.
Wenjiu saw this and felt that it was not easy to be a slave in this feudal society, but he did not expose it. He just lowered his head to check the ingredients.
This kitchen is really thoughtful. They have everything she wants except scallops and snails.
"Miss, it's not that our kitchen is not careful, it's just that it's the wrong season now, and it's really hard to find snails and scallops. We haven't seen them in our house for nearly a month." Sun Dazhi explained immediately.
Wen Jiu waved his hand: "It's okay, I was just trying it out, I didn't expect there were shrimps and crabs, it's already good."
Shrimps and crabs are the hardest to find in winter, especially alive ones.
The crabs are all quite big and look pretty much the same.
The shrimps are not crayfish, but river shrimps. They come in different sizes, the big ones are as big as a palm, and the small ones are only as long as two little fingers.
Sun Dazhi laughed when he heard Wen Jiu's words, and pointed at the crabs and said, "These shrimps and crabs are rare. Miss, you are lucky enough to have them today. The Emperor has just given them to our Prince Beile. I made some for him at lunch, but he didn't seem to like it.
So, I just sent them all to you, young lady."
The prince doesn't like it, and the wife and concubine in the mansion don't like it either. The kitchen is happy to warm the wine, which is also a favor, right?
