Chapter 305 More suspicious
Besides, Concubine Hui and his daughter have lived on the mountain for more than half a month in a blink of an eye.
It had been raining a few days ago. After finally waiting for the sunny day, Concubine Hui asked someone to go down the mountain to find out what Zhang Ma was doing.
A few days later, he returned: "This Zhang Ma really came to Beijing from Shuangxi with Wen Mingqian and his son. According to people from the Gong family, this woman is very stingy, but she has excellent cooking skills.
I don’t know where she is from, but I only know that Wen Mingqian only met her after he arrived in Shuangxi. But she is very close to Wen Mingqian and his son, and can be said to be a confidant. ”
After hearing this, Madam Xia said, "Empress, Shuangxi is very far from the capital. If you send someone to check again, it will take at least two months to go back and forth. Do you think it is necessary?"
"I had a dream at night, it was very bad." Hui Fei said to him, "I dreamed that I went up to a high platform, but somehow the stairs collapsed. I fell from my head and woke up suddenly."
"The Empress lives on the mountain, so she has such a dream. The wind was a little heavier last night," said Madam Xia.
"Since you have already checked it, then check it out." Hui Fei strives to be cautious, "It's not the best, I just want peace of mind."
He asked Madam Xia again: "Have the person who sent back to the palace returned?"
Madam Xia knew what she wanted to ask, so she said, "I must be back at this time. I'll ask someone to go out and have a look. If she comes back, let him come in and talk."
The one who was sent back was a little eunuch. He had just come up the mountain and was about to drink some water and return to the conversation. Who would have thought that someone had already found it, so he didn't even bother to drink water and hurried in.
"Xiao Dezi, go back to the palace. Is there anything wrong with the palace?" asked Madam Xia.
"The palace is busy with the Dragon Boat Festival! Everything is as usual in our palace. General Manager Hu asked Xiao to reply to the empress, please rest assured, everything is fine in the palace." said the little eunuch.
"Did General Hu say anything else?" Madam Xia asked again, "Did Madam Hua from the Eighth Bureau go to find him?"
Before she left, she specifically told Madam Hua to look at Wen Mingqian more and prevent any further interactions between her and Dong Gang.
"Mr. Hu is so busy that he didn't mention this to me, but the young man found out," the little Dezi was very clever, "That Madam Hua suddenly died a few days ago."
"You said she was dead? But is it true? Not a rumor?" Madam Xia was very surprised when she heard this.
Before she left, she just told General Manager Hu that if Madam Hua came to find him, she would definitely see her and then tell the person who returned to the palace what she said.
As for the matter here, she did not explain it in detail to General Manager Hu. After all, Wen Mingqian's attitude in front of Concubine Hui was very firm, and it was unlikely that he would have any contact with Dong Gang again. He left such a sentence just in case.
Therefore, General Manager Hu didn't take the matter of Madam Hua to heart, and she never came to find her at all.
"Madam Hua is indeed dead. This young man has found out clearly and has been carried outside the palace to burn it." Xiao Dezi said, "It seems that he has had some acute illness, and he died very suddenly."
Madam Xia did not speak anymore, but looked at Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui did not ask Xiao Dezi again, but just waved her hand and said, "I understand, you go down!"
"Why did this Madam Hua die suddenly? Is it a coincidence or is there something strange here?" When Xiao Dezi withdrew, Madam Xia couldn't help asking Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui was silent at first, and then said, "I am always a little panicked in my heart. No matter what, be careful." As the eldest princess came, she entered the door and said, "It's time to make clothes again. I have gained weight in the mountains these days, and the clothes I bring are tight."
"This is a good thing. Just ask them to do clothes. Your Highness should eat more." Madam Xia smiled.
"After all, Zhang's craftsmanship is good. The chef at our family learned for a few days and said that he would use it today. My mother might as well try it with me, but have you learned it? "The eldest princess said with a smile.
She didn't notice that Huifei looked strange at all, and continued, "The prince-in-law went to Jiangnan and brought back two chefs. She said that the skills were not bad, but I was just eating."
The chef of the Dong family naturally became very energetic and specially cooked several dishes to invite Concubine Hui and the eldest princess to taste.
"How is the mother trying?" After using the rice, the princess rinsed and asked Hui, "I'll just have three points of the meaning when I eat it."
"It's still a little bit short, I only learn a little bit." Hui Fei also said.
"Empress, why not let the old slave learn to make some soup with Mother Zhang." Madam Xia suddenly spoke, "I know a little bit about the taste of the empress, and I also stew some soup and water on weekdays. Moreover, when I go back to the palace, I can't bring the chef from the princess's house. It's useful for me to learn a little."
Hui Fei understood what she meant and nodded, "You have nothing to do with you. If you want to learn, go and learn! Master leads you to the door, and practice depends on your personal understanding. It depends on your personal understanding."
Sure enough, Madam Xia went to find Mama Zhang in the afternoon.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
At that time, Ma Zhang was soaking dry vegetables. Madam Xia smiled and stepped forward and said, "I'm busy with my old sister? I'll help you. Let's be your companions, and we are talking and we will do our work faster."
"I'm used to doing it alone," Zhang's mother did not smile. "I will handle everything I make from the beginning, and the final ones will taste."
Madam Xia was not angry, and continued to smile and said, "No wonder everyone praised the things made by the old sister, but they were more attentive and more particular than others.
To be honest, I came here to become a disciple today, and you have to accept me as an old disciple.
I thought that after returning to the palace, I could serve our concubines and make some soup and water, and I would do my best to do my best. ”
After hearing what she said, Zhang's mother said, "If I say I don't teach you, it will seem that I am unkind. But I really can't teach you. If you want to learn, just watch it. As for whether you can learn it in the end, it depends on yourself."
After hearing this, Madam Xia nodded quickly: "This is done, this is done. I really don't understand. If you point me out a few words, I will be grateful."
Seeing her like this, Zhang's mother realized something was wrong.
As Madam Xia, she doesn't have to learn these things to please Concubine Hui.
Besides, she was so old that she was slow to learn anything. She said it clearly that she would not teach her carefully, but she didn't care. It can be seen that she was not trying to learn how to cook.
Zhang Ma just sneered in her heart and said, "Since that's the case, then just watch it! I don't like to be distracted when cooking, and I need to concentrate. Even the two chefs in the Prince Consort's Mansion, I also said that, it depends on themselves."
Ma Zhang would never deliberately please these people. She would not be able to make mistakes, and she would not be able to see them.
