food queen

Chapter 729
"Mommy, where are the things in the west wing going?" A servant stepped forward and asked.

"Don't ask me about this, you have to ask the young master!" Nanny Ning sneered and shook her head, and said sourly, "From now on, you will have to ask the young master about Miss Yan, I don't dare to make decisions on my own. "

Once the young master speaks, it doesn't matter how big the matter is, not to mention that Yan Wenzhen doesn't have many things in Qiutang Courtyard.

There are three rooms in the west wing, two of which are bright and one dark. They were originally Shao Juncong's small study, and there should be complete furniture and cabinets.Yan Wenzhen's things in the Qiutang courtyard were packed into three big boxes, and the six servants carried one with two, and moved it to the west wing, and it was all done!

The two servant girls, Cardamom and Wutong, still followed, and they opened the box. Cardamom was in charge of taking out the books and recipe copies inside and put them on the small and exquisite desk, and Wutong was in charge of taking Yan Wenzhen's clothes and jewelry one by one. Come out and put it in the cupboard.

"Girl, everything is packed." The two maids approached and said back and forth.

"Okay, there is only one bed in this room, and I'll make you sleep on the floor for two nights." Yan Wenzhen sighed.

"Miss, don't say that, it's the duty of a servant to serve a girl, and it's also a duty to be on the floor." Cardamom said hastily.

"That's right, the people in the eldest girl's room are also on the floor. The slaves are not wronged." Wutong laughed.

Yan Wenzhen nodded: "Okay, I want to be alone for a while, you go down first."

For three days in a row, Yan Wenzhen did not leave this west wing room.

At the dinner table, Shao Juncong was no longer picky about food, and he ate whatever was offered, which was delicious.

Shao Yanran was unwilling, and put the spoon in her hand on the table, pouted and said, "This ginkgo pork belly soup is not tasty at all! It also has a strange smell!"

"Have you?" Wei Yiyi also took a sip, frowned and said, "Sure enough. What's going on in this kitchen? I'm getting more and more careless about things!"

The person serving next to him immediately knelt down.Nurse Ning hurriedly stepped forward to take away the pork belly soup, and said with an apologetic smile: "The princess and the girl don't be angry. It's the most taboo to be angry when eating, and it hurts the body. The servant asked them to make another soup."

"Forget it! It's the same if you do it again." Shao Yanran shook her handkerchief and stood up, "I won't eat."

"Oh, you..." Wei Yiyi looked at her daughter's back and frowned, "You haven't eaten anything yet!"

"If you don't eat it, don't eat it." Shao Lingxiao said, waving his hand at Ning Mama, "Forget it, you go and tell them that they don't need to cook, there are a lot of these dishes."

"You're spoiling them!" Wei Yiyi said angrily, "I can't cook a single soup today, and I don't know what to do to fool the master tomorrow! These damned slaves..."

"Yiyi." Shao Lingxiao held his wife's hand and whispered, "What hardships have we suffered on the battlefield? Forget it. It's not easy to be a cook."

It was only then that Wei Yiyi remembered that all the servants in her mansion were family members of soldiers and soldiers. These people were taken into the mansion by her and Shao Lingxiao because the men were dead and couldn't make a living.Even the girls who served before me were all the daughters of those dead soldiers, married by their fathers and mothers, and they came here because no one wanted them.So he sighed and said, "Forget it, you all get up."

"Thank you princess." The maids and women who were kneeling on the ground kowtowed before standing up.

"Okay, I don't have any appetite anymore, let's take it all away." Wei Yiyi saw that her husband and son had already put down the bowls and chopsticks, and raised her finger to point to the food on the table.

Nurse Ning hurriedly waved to the people behind her, and everyone came forward to clear the things on the dining table as quickly as possible.

Shao Lingxiao said to Wei Yiyi: "I have something to do at General Tang's mansion today, I might stay at the mansion over there for lunch at noon."

"I prepared an old wild ginseng for Mrs. Tang, you can help to bring it there. Tell General Tang that I will visit the old lady when I am free." Wei Yiyi said, and ordered the maid behind him: "Go and get it. .”

The servant girl agreed to go out, and after a while brought the old mountain ginseng to Shao Lingxiao, and Shao Lingxiao went out.

Shao Juncong sent his father away, turned around and bid farewell to his mother, Wei Yiyi called him back: "Stop, I have something to ask you."

"Yes." Shao Juncong answered with a bow.

"What's going on between you and that Yan Wenzhen?" Wei Yiyi asked.

"It's nothing." Shao Juncong said.

"Even if you like her, you have to be careful!" Wei Yiyi said angrily, "You are messing around in your own yard! Let the maids and servants see it, and there is no guarantee that anyone who is not strict will go Spread the word about it, if nothing else, even if your grandfather finds out, he will break your leg first!"

"Yes, my son has remembered my mother's teaching." Shao Juncong replied.

"Do you remember?" Wei Yiyi sighed, "You, just remember now, without me, you still go your own way! I think that Yan Wenzhen is a disaster, and it will be bad for anyone who gets involved with her!"

"Mother!" Shao Juncong frowned and called out.

Wei Yiyi looked at her son's appearance and said coldly: "She can't live in our house anymore! She was not a cook before, did she own a restaurant? I'll give her money and let her go out and open a restaurant by herself. You say, How much silver is enough? 5000 taels? Ten thousand is fine."

"Mother!" Shao Juncong raised his hand and lifted the corner of his robe, and knelt down for his mother.

"Son! Mother is your only son!" Wei Yiyi pulled Shao Lingxiao up, and sighed helplessly, "Your grandparents died early, and your father and I owed our existence to the blessing of your grandparents. You It's the future hope of the Shao family! I can't let you be ruined by a woman."

"Mother, don't worry! My son is doing well and sitting upright. How could a few gossips do anything to me? Besides, Wenzhen is an orphan girl, without the protection of her parents and the support of her brothers. You can even give her 10 taels of silver." If you let her go out to open a restaurant, she will be calculated sooner or later! You are not saving her, you are harming her! She just got out of the prison in Shuntian Mansion, do you still want to force her in?"

Wei Yiyi asked amusedly: "What are you talking about? Why did I force her?"

Shao Juncong showed a pleading look on his face, and whispered: "Mother, we have taken in so many homeless people in our house, and she is one of them."

"Don't do this with me! If you're talking sweet words, you're far behind!" Wei Yiyi snorted.

"Mother..." Shao Juncong was indeed not good at rhetoric, now that his mother said it, he didn't know how to say it.

Knowing the son is Mo Ruomu, Wei Yiyi understands his son's temperament very well, and she doesn't want to force him anymore at this time, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay! Didn't you get up early and say you are going to the West School Field? Go ahead. go."

"Mother." Looking at Wei Yiyi's expression, Shao Juncong suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "You must not send her away when I am not at home."

Hearing what his son said, Wei Yiyi was both helpless and sad: "Is this the kind of person you see in your old lady?"

"No, no..." Shao Juncong said hastily, "Mother, I was wrong. Don't be angry."

"Okay, okay! You just need to be more careful in the future! I'm not that boring, I always want to take care of your messy things." Wei Yiyi said, got up and walked into the bedroom, "Go, I changed The clothes are going to your grandmother's."

"Yes." Shao Juncong bowed and retreated.

From that day on, Wei Yiyi felt that Yan Wenzhen was not pleasing to the eye from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't tell the reason, but it was all kinds of dislikes. Coupled with what Nurse Ning said from the side, she felt that Yan Wenzhen was a scourge. .

"Look, she killed her mother when she was born, and killed her grandfather when she was 15 years old, which almost caused the Bai family's business to fail! In the end, she even got her own father into prison, directly He just died inside! Fortunately, the second wife of the Bai family, Huiyan, rescinded the marriage between her son and her. Otherwise, the Bai family doesn't know what to do now!" Nurse Ning hummed with her mouth flattened.

After hearing this, Wei Yiyi naturally disliked Yan Wenzhen more and more in her heart, but she didn't bother to gossip about these old women, so she sneered and said, "Okay, I don't know how many times you have said these old sesame seeds and rotten millet things. Yes. Is the mung bean cake in the kitchen ready? The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these days, and Yan Ran is so hot that I can't even eat the rice. You told them to make it so hard, but later she thought it tasted bad and refused to eat it. "

"Princess don't worry about this matter. The slave has already told the cook who made dim sum to ask Wen Zhen for her recipe. This time, I will definitely cook it in the same taste as her. The slave promises that the eldest girl will like it." Nanny Ning smiled.

After hearing this, Wei Yiyi sighed helplessly: "After all, neither of my two children can do without Yan Wenzhen."

"There's nothing to say about this girl's cooking skills, but her character and fate are really bad." Nanny Ning shook her head.

"That's right! We, Jun Cong, are going to marry the wife of the wife. In the future, she will be able to support the general's mansion and take care of trivial matters, not a cook who can cook delicacies!" Wei Yiyi shook his head.

"What the Princess said is true." Nanny Ning nodded.

Wei Yiyi raised her hand and took the fan and slapped it twice, then said: "Speaking of which, we are not too young, we should have a decent marriage."

"Hey, as long as the princess let go of this matter, then our young master will not be able to choose all the good girls in the imperial capital?" Nurse Ning said hurriedly.

"You can find two official media tomorrow to see how many good girls there are in our imperial capital." Wei Yiyi said.

Nurse Ning hurriedly said: "Princess, I still have a humble opinion on this matter, I don't know if it should be said or not."

"Tell me." Wei Yiyi lowered his head and trimmed his nails neatly with a pair of small silver scissors.

"Which girl do you have your eyes on, and then go to the palace to ask the queen for a favor, and ask our young master for a marriage order from the queen, wouldn't it be better?"

Wei Yiyi chuckled lightly: "The empress's gift of marriage is not just for fun, you can ask anyone casually?"

"Oh, my good master!" Nurse Ning said, leaning close to Wei Yiyi's ear and whispering: "Look at our young master's temperament, no matter which girl we choose, he will definitely not follow. Instead of letting him When the time comes when the mother and son are at odds with you, it is better to ask for a marriage decree from the queen. Even if he is unwilling in every possible way, he will not be able to say anything. To avoid sending all this ignorant karma on your head. No The old slave talks too much, our young master has such a strong spirit since he was a child, he will not turn back when he hits the south wall! The princess is only this son, if there is a rift between mother and son because of this matter, don’t worry about it. Alright, what is this called... yes, this is called misfortune!"

"Bah!" Wei Yiyi spat immediately after hearing this, "Where did you put so much thought into it, you old bastard!"
