Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 78 Can't Wait
Just as Mrs. Wei Guo was about to continue asking, Nurse Fen came in from the outside and reported: "Madam, the ingredients in the kitchen have been prepared. The second child asked if you want to go over and have a look."

We are entertaining distinguished guests today, if the food we make does not meet the dining standards of distinguished guests, not everyone can bear the consequences.

Sister Fen knew the affairs of the kitchen of Duke Wei's mansion extremely well.

Many of the people in the kitchen are distant relatives of Wei Guogong.

Mrs. Wei Guo wants to go to the kitchen to see for herself. If she sees any lazy slave, she has to scold her.

If not, even if the ingredients for the banquet are good, the dishes made will not be on the table.

Hearing Sister Fen's words, Nan Surou smiled inappropriately, her smile had a deep meaning.

Nan Surou's smile made Mrs. Wei Guo extremely depressed, her forehead even had blue veins protruding, she said quickly: "A Fen, you go first, I will be there in a while."

At this moment, Nan Surou got up slowly, put on a respectful face, and said softly: "Cousin, I've finished eating too. Since you have something to do, I'll take my leave first."

Nan Surou didn't want to get involved in the muddy waters of Duke Wei's mansion.

The people in the kitchen are so difficult to discipline, and it's all hidden dangers left by Mrs. Wei Guo in order to please Wei Guogong. Nan Surou is too lazy to bother.

But from the small kitchen, it can also be revealed how incompetent Mrs. Wei is in managing the back house. She appoints relatives, takes into account all aspects of face, all kinds of appeasement, and does not punish mistakes.

Just now when Nan Surou said that Mrs. Wei Guo was not strict in running the family, Nanny Fen rushed to the door to deliver the evidence, which was clearly intended to embarrass Mrs. Wei Guo.

Mrs. Wei Guo didn't have much reason to stay with Nan Surou, so she could only let her go, and followed Mother Fen to the kitchen.

Nan Surou hurried back to Huichunyuan, changed into dry clothes, and read the book for a while.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the banquet.

Before Mother Fen sent someone to deliver the message, Nan Xiyuan couldn't wait to come to harass Nan Surou.

Nan Xiyuan never waited for anyone to notify her when she entered the door, and she yelled loudly as soon as she entered the door: "Auntie—come out quickly! I just sneaked into the kitchen to see that the table is ready, let's go there quickly!"

Nan Surou put down the book, Shi Shiran walked out of the room, but when she saw Nan Xiyuan, she found Nan Peiyan and Nan Chuying standing behind Nan Xiyuan and looking at her without saying a word .

Today, these three girls are dressed in golden light, they can dazzle everyone's eyes casually.

Nan Chuying had dark skin, and imitated Nan Xiyuan's tacky dress, she looked like a child stealing an adult's clothes, completely lacking in beauty.

Besides, Nan Chuying was thinner and weaker than Nan Xiyuan, and her temperament was not much better.

Nan Peiyan is considered the most outstanding among the three. She has better skin and looks better in everything she wears. With the help of the two unattractive children next to her, she looks prettier.

I don't know what happened to Nan Peiyan's "injury". This "healed from a serious illness" came to Huachun Courtyard to pretend to be tired, isn't she tired?Why bother!

Nan Surou glanced at Nan Xiyuan with a half-smile, and said, "Xiyuan, didn't you have breakfast?"

Nan Xiyuan wondered stupidly: "I've eaten breakfast, and I'm still full. What's the matter?"

Nan Surou pointed out: "You all seem to be very anxious, will anything special happen at the banquet?"

As soon as these words came out, Nan Xiyuan still looked stupid and couldn't answer, but Nan Peiyan on the side was suddenly taken aback, followed by a creepy feeling, Nan Peiyan shouted in her heart : Impossible, she can't know.

However, Nan Surou's bright smile and clear eyes only made Nan Peiyan feel as if she was standing naked in the snow. She felt a chill, and her heart tightened, and she couldn't bear it. Let out a low sigh.

Nan Chuying is good at observing words and expressions, she has already noticed something is wrong, and finally couldn't help but interjected: "Auntie, where are you talking about, such a banquet is rare even in the Duke's mansion, I heard that the kitchen this time I have prepared abalone winged belly, and the ingredients are all selected by my aunt early this morning, and the ingredients are all first-class, so how can people not look forward to it."

Nan Surou was still smiling, she glanced at Nan Xiyuan, then stared at Nan Peiyan, and whispered softly: "So that's the case, then let's go over."

Seeing that Nan Surou didn't seem to be unusual, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wei Guo has been watching in the kitchen to ensure that the dishes are safe.

At this moment, the banquet was regarded as an ordinary family banquet, and it was set in the Accord next to the Moon Pavilion.

Outside the Accord, it is surrounded by forests and faces north. It is located in an excellent location, backed by pavilions and waterside pavilions. The scenery is pleasant, and the appearance of the Accord is fresh and elegant.

Nan Surou followed Nan Xiyuan and his group, and entered the Accord first. There was an endless stream of servants, most of whom brought things from the kitchen, and some brought valuable antique ornaments from the warehouse to decorate the inner room. , Even the precious calligraphy and paintings were temporarily brought out to save the situation.

Seeing this scene, Nan Surou's expression remained calm. Mrs. Wei Guo is a stingy person. Normally, there are no people here, and she can't use it. Naturally, she doesn't clean up. , began to decorate the facade, and now people have been delivering tableware from the kitchen one after another, and it won't be long before all the dishes should be served.

Nan Surou and others entered the inner room, and a group of servants saluted them one after another.

At this time, Nan Xiyuan actually suggested: "I see that it will take a while to eat the noodles here. There are a lot of good wines in this Accord, which are brewed by my mother. The taste is very good, auntie, Let's go over there in the one-room cabin and have a little bar while we wait for our dinner."

Nan Surou blinked her eyes and said, "I'm afraid this is not right. I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, so I'm not very interested in that stuff."

Mrs. Wei Guo's father was married into Nan's family, so Mrs. Wei Guo did not take her father's surname, but her mother's surname Nan, but her father, who is Nan Surou's uncle, made a living by selling wine Yes, it is true that Mrs. Wei Guo can make wine herself.

Nan Surou is not stupid, this Accord does have the wine kept by Mrs. Wei Guo, but she knows that the wine made by Mrs. Wei Guo is a great tonic, snake wine, ant wine, wolfberry wine, matsutake wine ...

These wines sound very expensive, but it is not the ingredients of these wines that make Nan Surou jealous.

But the alcohol content of these wines is very high.

People who can't hold alcohol can turn red in the face after just a sip, and they will be completely drunk after a while.

Nan Surou intends to refuse, but the few people beside her don't agree.
