Chapter 720 Extra Fireworks! (1)
For Yan Wenzhen, the Hussar General's Mansion is more comfortable without being in prison.

Although brothers and sisters Shao Juncong and Shao Yanran treated her very well, the slaves in the mansion, the females all came from the Ninghou Mansion, and the males were all disabled after going to the battlefield with their master, and she In the eyes of these people, this cook, who was once in prison and faced a death lawsuit, is really nothing.

Yan Wenzhen came here twice before, but every time she came back, she just wandered around in the small kitchen, never even entered the big kitchen, let alone the fat place.

"Sister Wenzhen, you live in the Qiutang Courtyard in Xiyuan." A handsome little maid greeted her and said back and forth, "Mother Ning has asked someone to clean up there."

Yan Wenzhen turned to look at Shao Juncong and Shao Yanran, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Ning Nanny."

"The Begonia Courtyard is very good. There are a few Xifu Begonias planted there. You can see flowers in spring and begonias in autumn. The room is also bright and bright, and my sister will like it." Shao Yanran said, and then told the maid: "Wutong, in the future You are in charge of taking care of Sister Wenzhen's daily life."

"Yes." Wutong agreed, then turned around and gave Yan Wenzhen a deep blessing, "I have seen the girl."

"Hey, don't be like this." Yan Wenzhen hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wutong's hand, "We are all the same person, but there is no slave girl."

"Sister Wenzhen, don't say that, you are a guest of my brother and me." Shao Yanran hurriedly said.

Yan Wenzhen greeted Shao Yanran lightly without arguing, but how should she deal with herself in such a majestic Hussar General's residence?
Ordinarily, with the support of Shao Juncong and Shao Yanran, no one could wrong Yan Wenzhen living in Shao's residence.It's just that the Shao family is a general, and even the girl who burns the fire has a father who can fight. A frail cook like Yan Wenzhen is always a bit out of place in this group of people.

Moreover, Shao Juncong and Shao Yanran are not the kind of sons-in-law who stay at home every day. Shao Juncong has government affairs and military affairs on him. In addition to dealing with the emperor, he also goes to the West School Field to train soldiers every day. He has two meals for three meals a day. Do not eat at home, and sometimes stay out all night.As for Shao Yanran, she is a hot-tempered girl. She likes riding horses, hunting, and archery, but she doesn't like to stay indoors and embroider flowers.

So Yan Wenzhen spent most of the time alone in Qiutang Courtyard.

At the beginning, she devoted herself to sorting out Yan's recipes. After a month later, after memorizing all the recipes left by her grandfather, she felt that many places were not perfect and needed to be repaired.The more than 80 dishes recorded in the recipes are not enough. Yan Wenzhen feels that the new dishes created by his grandfather will supplement Yan's recipes to more than [-] dishes.It's just that this is a recipe to be handed down, Yan Wenzhen's fingers gently groped the cover of the recipe, wondering which dish was eligible to be included in this recipe.

"Miss Yan, Miss Yan?" Indus happily came in from the outside, Fushen said: "Miss Yan, the uncle and wife of Minger will come over, and the princess asked the kitchen to prepare some decent meals. You know the cook in our kitchen, They were all careless, and Nanny Ning thought, can I ask Miss Yan to help me cook a few delicate dishes. After all, my uncle and wife can't come here once or twice a year..."

"Okay." Yan Wenzhen stood up and said with a smile, "This is what it should be."

Yan Wenzhen liked cooking since she was a child, and never thought that a cook is such a humble person.On the contrary, she will also feel very satisfied watching others eat the meals she cooks and feel delicious.Therefore, when Shao Yanran appeared in the kitchen and asked the cooks, "How can you let my guests help here", Yan Wenzhen's first reaction was to go up and explain for them: "I want to come here by myself. It's boring to stay in the Qiutang courtyard every day. Besides, my only hobby is cooking."

Shao Yanran didn't get angry at this moment, but patted Yan Wenzhen's hand and said, "Let's talk about it earlier. Whatever you want to do in the future, you can go to Nanny Ning's small kitchen. Anyway, our whole family likes the dim sum you make. "

Yan Wenzhen smiled and said, "Okay, I just baked a basket of plum blossom shortbread, and it will be ready in a while."

"Okay, I'll go there first. Come over when you're done with your work." Shao Yanran nodded happily, turned and left.

All the people in the kitchen bowed to see them off, and Yan Wenzhen also blessed Shao Yanran's back.

From this day on, in the eyes of the servants in General Hussar's Mansion, Yan Wenzhen has changed from a friend of the young master and the girl to a cook with status.

Yan Wenzhen didn't realize the difference at the time, the respect she deserved was still there, and she still lived in Qiutangyuan, besides cardamom and phoenix trees, she was taking care of her daily life, someone combed her hair, someone washed her clothes, and someone gave her clothes. She washed her feet and someone made tea for her.She lived the life of a noble girl no different from Shao Yanran.

However, on New Year's Eve, it was immediately different.

The four members of the Shao family sat around to eat the New Year's Eve dinner, and after she finished working in the kitchen, she was invited to the side room by Nanny Ning.

"Miss Yan, you've really worked hard these days." Nurse Ning took Yan Wenzhen's hand and stuffed a purse into her hand.

According to past experience, Yan Wenzhen knew what was in the purse with a pinch, so he hurriedly returned it: "I dare not take it seriously, General Shao has saved Wen Zhen's life, Wen Zhen has nothing to repay, and now he lives in the mansion Here, food and drink are all good, so how can I get them..."

"It's too little for a girl to say that." Nurse Ning put the purse into her hand again, and said with a kind smile, "Let me tell you the truth, our young master looks very strong, but actually Shangnei is weak and tight, and he can't have a good meal on weekdays. Whether it is in the palace or in the military camp, there is no white or black. How can this body bear it? Since the girl came, I cook some delicate meals every day Give it to him, he is also in love with his family, and whenever he eats, he always comes back to eat as much as possible. The general and the princess are also happy, and everything is going well for us as servants, right? Speaking of which, the old slave is also in the girl's favor !Also, this is a little wish from our princess, if you don't want it, our princess... the old slave is not easy to answer."

Yan Wenzhen thanked her and put away her purse.

Living in the Hushi General's Mansion is completely different from the treatment he received when he lived in the Bai family. The whole General's Mansion is very polite to him, and he will not say a word that offends him, but Yan Wenzhen is still the same. Feeling deeply alone.

Just as she did not belong to the Bai family back then, she also does not belong to the General's Mansion now.

Nanny Ning asked Yan Wenzhen to have the New Year's Eve dinner with her in the wing room, and there were two respectable but familyless housekeepers from the General's Mansion at the dinner table.There are four people at a table, only Yan Wenzhen is a girl.According to her age, she sat with her on the last seat, and when the servant girl served the dishes, she had to stand up and help her.Nurse Ning and the other two housekeepers were eating and drinking leisurely, chatting and laughing happily.
