Chapter 297: Nanny He's Weird Way of Delivering Letters (1)
On this day, cloves came to take tonic soup.
After receiving the letter from the small kitchen, Nanny He put a small black sand pot into a small basket and handed it to Aunt Meng.
Although Aunt Meng and Nanny He are not known as masters and apprentices, Nanny He taught her cooking skills, so the two have always been close, and Aunt Meng can be regarded as someone that Nanny He trusts very much. On weekdays, when delivering soup to the West Courtyard, you can find a young eunuch to help, but Mammy He never lets others do it, and Aunt Meng goes there in person.
Those who come out of the palace have always been cautious.
Aunt Meng went to the entrance of Jingtai Hall, gave Ding Xiang the basket in her hand, and took another basket from Ding Xiang that she took away yesterday.
"I'm bothering Aunt Meng again."
"What's the trouble, let's go."
After Ding Xiang left, Aunt Meng turned and entered the door.
Before taking two steps, she saw a little palace lady walking towards her.
The little palace man was young, around fourteen, wearing a pink jacket and a moon-white pleated skirt. A melon-seeded face, a pair of big and twinkling peach blossom eyes, pink cherry mouth, narrow waist, as slender as a willow.
Seeing those eyes, Aunt Meng thought of what Xiaodouzi said yesterday, and agreed in her heart.
It's not that Aunt Meng has never seen these people, but she has never had close contact with them, so she just took a look. At this time, they just bumped into each other, so they could see clearly.
A thought flashed through her mind, and it really looked alike.
But it's just eyes, and the shape is not the same.
Aunt Meng walked over calmly, and the little palace man glanced at her with curiosity in his eyes.
Seeing the elderly palace man passing by, Qianxi walked to the gate of the palace, and saw the young eunuch guarding the gate, with a very sweet smile on her face.
"Mr. Lizi, who is that aunt? Why does the maidservant see her coming here every day to hand things out?"
"That's Aunt Meng from the small kitchen. She's delivering soup to Mrs. Hua."
Qianxi was puzzled, and said with a smile on her face, "Who is Mrs. Hua, and why does Aunt Meng give her tonic soup?"
Xiao Lizi glanced at her, with a nonchalant face: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, who is Mrs. Hua, of course you can find out later. I also said a few times, Fu Gonggong has an order, no The above allows you little palace people to not leave the gate of Jingtai Palace, so don’t come here all the time when you have nothing to do.”
"Oh, thank you Eunuch Li for your guidance."
Qianxi smiled timidly, and turned her head to reveal her resentment.
Ding Xiang came back to receive the meal.
After Ding Lan and Chuncao prepared the meal, they went down to eat, leaving only Ding Xiang to serve the meal.
"Ma'am, let's have some soup before eating."
Ding Xiang opened the lid of the small sand jar, took a small white porcelain bowl while talking, and scooped out most of the bowl with a soup spoon.
Xiaohua took it and drank it with a small spoon.
"Hmm... Mama's cooking skills are getting better and better, this soup is really delicious." She squinted her eyes in enjoyment, and the corners of her slightly raised eyes were half-closed.
Ding Xiang gave a light snort, and Xiao Hua looked up.
"Ma'am, look."
I saw a piece of oil paper the size of a thumb sticking on the back of the lid of the small sand jar. Ding Xiang picked it up with her hands, and the piece of oil paper fell off. It turned out that this piece of oil paper was stuck to the lid with a small lump of dough.
The oiled paper was folded, Lilac opened it, and saw a very thin note inside.
Xiao Hua put down the bowl in her hand and took it.
There are a few small characters written on the note, come to the small kitchen.
The soup was sent by Madam He, and the earthen pot came out of the small kitchen, so this small note was handed over from the small kitchen.
Xiaohua immediately thought of Nanny He.
Ding Xiang flipped through the oil paper again and said, "Ma'am, there is nothing else."
"It's okay, this should be what Nanny He passed to me."
