self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 39

The banquet is still held in the Hexiang Pavilion. In autumn, the beautiful lotus in the pond has already fallen, leaving only a pool of residual lotus in the autumn wind, trying to sway the last touch of style, but it does not have a bleak beauty.

For cooks like An Ran, spring, summer, autumn and winter have their own advantages, because there are unique ingredients for each season, and then they can cook different delicacies.

Just like this, under the pond full of residual lotus at this time, there are fragrant, tender, smooth and nutritious lotus roots hidden. They can be dug out to wash off the silt on them. They can be fried, cooked, soup, porridge, and so on.

Lotus root is one of Anran's favorite ingredients. Anran believes that each ingredient has its own unique personality, and lotus root is a soft and neutral type. It can be cooked alone or mixed with any ingredients to make a well-known best product Delicious, both meat and vegetarian dishes are acceptable.

For example, you can cook red bean and lotus root soup with red beans, as well as with pork bones. You only need a small handful of dried osmanthus with glutinous rice to make a famous Jiangnan dessert, glutinous rice with osmanthus root, stuffed with pork, wrapped The batter is deep-fried until golden, and it is another famous home-cooked snack in the north.

There are also lotus root balls, lotus root paste balls, steamed lotus root with black rice, etc... almost all ingredients and lotus root can be combined to create a delightful delicacy.To use a modern word is all-match.

It can be matched at will without losing its unique taste, just like its growth environment, which is not stained by mud, clear but not demonic, not self-sufficient, not drifting with the tide, can grow and survive in the mud, and always persist look at yourself.

She hopes that she can be as strong and comfortable as the lotus root under the mud, so she will insist on herself and will not compromise, so her back is straight. In the eyes of these people, maybe she is just a humble The cook, but in her own world, has a wonderfulness and pride that they cannot understand.

She has never felt inferior, and because of her persistence, she never feels humble, let alone make a humble gesture, even though she knows that most of these people have the mentality of watching jokes.

Looking at the little girl who walked over unhurriedly outside the Hexiang Pavilion, he had never seen An Ran in the Hexiang Pavilion, and he was almost taken aback for a moment, especially the king of Xiaoyao County and Shangguan Yao, who never expected to make such an exquisite and authentic meal The chef is actually a little girl.

Xiaoyao Wang Yue Jintang couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Brother An still has such a treasure hidden in this mansion, even if this king just came back from Jiangnan, I have to give a compliment, this girl is really a rare beauty."

An Jiamu's face was a little cloudy, and he suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in taking this opportunity to teach the little girl. Yue Jintang was a famous pervert and a foodie. He seduced the cook of the prime minister's mansion back then Son, it's still the joke of ordinary people in the capital after dinner.

What's more, this girl is so lovely. It's not that she feels good because she is rare. Speaking of people like them, there are few beauties. Not to mention that the concubines in the mansion are all selected from thousands of people, but outside Those who can come forward to serve them, which one is not, want to have a good appearance and a good figure.

Moreover, all of them serve with tenderness and care, and the small mouth is even sweeter, can sing graceful and moving ditties, and can even say heart-warming love words, unlike this girl, she is as hard as a stone, neither I am even more puzzled by my own kindness.

But even so, this kind of An Ran has a different taste, which makes her very different from other women, and looks extra special.

Just like at this moment, even though she is still wearing that half-worn girl's shirt and skirt, which has turned white after washing, there is no jewelry on her body, and there are no bright and delicate silk flowers on her head. A simple big braid is just like her own. The first time I saw her, she was the same, but the little face without any makeup looked even more beautiful, just like the white lotus blooming stubbornly in the lotus pond, unafraid of the autumn wind, it is so beautiful, even without bright colors, it is still beautiful You can't take your eyes off it.

An Jiamu still can't figure out why this girl is not willing to be with him, no matter whether it was her before or not, her body has long been given to him. The girl is even more pampered and responsive to requests.As long as she complies with herself, she will be better to her in the future.

But this girl insisted on twisting with her. Could it be that she still wanted to marry another man? Thinking of this, her eyes darkened, and a hint of sternness flashed unconsciously.

Men are naturally happy when they see beauties, but women are not the same when they see beauties, especially when they think they are rivals in love.

Although Shangguanyao didn't care that An Jiamu had a concubine, she was sensitive to the fact that this little cook who just came in was different, she looked too outstanding, and it made people uncomfortable to look at, even if An Jiamu only came in from her He glanced at her lightly, far less staring at the girl like his cousin, but Shangguan Yao still felt a crisis.

What's more, the obvious jealousy in the eyes of An Jiamu's concubines, as long as he is not blind, he will never turn a blind eye. Then, this girl is also An Jiamu's, why is she a cook again?

Shangguanyao knew that her concubine's concubine was nothing. After all, with An Jiamu's status, it was reasonable to have a few women, but such a special existence was really an eyesore. After all, she didn't want to be unmarried Entering An Mansion, there will be a girl who can support her.

Compared with the aunts in Anfu, this cook made Shangguan Yao feel quite uncomfortable, especially, this girl was obviously a humble cook, but her indifferent charm and that kind of smell all over her body made her feel A strange solemnity, a solemnity that cannot be easily desecrated.

My heart became more and more unhappy, even the taste of the braised prawns that I ate just now, which was so surprising in my mouth, was gone.

An Ran squatted down and gave a blessing: "An Ran greets the honored guests and the elders and aunts." He was neither humble nor overbearing, and the scale was extremely precise. From the corner of his eye, he passed a man wearing a gold crown on his head who looked a bit suave and informal. He was probably Xiaoyao County. Wang, looks like 25 six.

However, An Ran wasn't sure if her guess was correct. After all, she had misread An Jiamu's body. She had heard from her godmother that the old man was over thirty, but An Jiamu looked at most 25-[-]. match with your age.

Because of this, I didn't think about the old man at first, so now, An Ran is not sure about the age of the county king. As for Shangguan Yao...

An Ran finally understands why this person became an old leftover woman in ancient times. Not to mention comparing with An Jiamu's concubines, An Cui, the most inconspicuous little girl in the aunt's orchid courtyard, is better than this Miss Shangguan. Beautiful, this is the daughter of the Governor of Jiangnan, thanks to her dark skin, her two mung bean eyes are squinted into a line, almost invisible, broom eyebrows, flat nose, big mouth, if she still has the temperament that Aunt Qin said, she will not It makes sense to marry off, no wonder he fell in love with An Jiamu.

It is estimated that those sons and young masters who are in the same family as the governor's mansion, even in view of her father's official position, would not be willing to marry such a man back, but An Jiamu is the most suitable.

Although he is white, he has a huge family property and powerful influence. One of the two brothers is a servant of officials, and the other is a knight in the rivers and lakes. The best thing is that his wife died and married with the daughter of the governor's mansion. No matter how you think about it, An Jiamu can't refuse , after all, although this girl is a bit ugly, marrying her will give her an old father-in-law who will be the governor, which is of great benefit to An Jiamu.

What's more, for these ancient men, it doesn't matter whether their wives look good or not. Anyway, they can take concubines as they please. , and brothels, what kind of beauties do you want?

Presumably this Miss Shangguan also understands, that's why she showed her kindness to An Jiamu in such a big way. However, after seeing the face of this Miss Shangguan, An Ran really hoped that An Jiamu would marry her as soon as possible. My master, if you marry her, An Jiamu will definitely have troubles in the future.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw jealousy flashing across Shangguan Yao's eyes, An Ran murmured that it was not good, An Jiamu's trouble did not come, but her own trouble came first.

Sure enough, Shangguan Yao snorted, and said disdainfully: "You are the cook who cooks these dishes, why do you look like a little girl, Brother An, all the cooks in your house wear girl clothes."

An Jiamu's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "She was originally a girl in the big kitchen, if Prince Xiaoyao ordered to eat her dishes, she would be the one to cook."

Shangguan Yao's face darkened, and with a lift of her hand, she threw a plate of braised prawns on the table to the ground: "No wonder this dish of braised prawns is so dishonest, it turns out it's just a fake dish."

The third aunt next to her shook the silk fan in her hand: "That's right, this girl Qian Xiantou is the girl in front of Aunt Lan Yuan, not to mention cooking, she can't even boil water, I don't know, how did she pass it?" In a few months, he turned himself into a chef at the stove, and they all talked about how exquisite his skills are, but today he met Miss Shangguan, an expert, so he missed the point."

The aunt's complexion changed slightly, she gritted her teeth and glared at the third aunt, she said to herself, the little whore will take the opportunity to make troubles, why didn't she mention herself before, now she sees Shangguan Yao to embarrass this girl, so she puts herself Pulling it out obviously has bad intentions.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister said this, how good the cooking skills are, we don't have the final say, sister, don't forget, she is a girl from Anfu..." As he spoke, he glanced at An Jiamu who was seated above.

Who doesn't understand the meaning of this sentence, it means that An Ran is a girl in the An Mansion, and only the elder has taken a fancy to her. If she has to say that she is good at cooking, who would dare to say that it is not good? This is a different way to say that she is Having an affair with the old man.

Mrs. Su is straightforward, she couldn't stand it, but she saw her husband secretly shaking his head at her, remembering that her husband was about to be promoted to the Hedao Yamen in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was under the control of the governor of Jiangnan. After thinking about it again and again, he finally said nothing.

On the other hand, Cui Chengzhi suddenly said: "Miss An's cooking skills are superb, it's not a lie, the southern dishes cooked last time are very authentic, even my Songyuelou chef's cooking skills are far from Miss An's." What's more, in the last culinary competition in Jizhou Prefecture, Ms. An made a double-crispy oily dish and a nine-turn large intestine, which amazed me even more. Ms. An's cooking skills are obvious to all adults present. said."

After Cui Chengzhi said a few words, Shangguan Yao's face was rather ugly, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward. Su Tongpan's face flushed red, and he scolded in a low voice: "What nonsense is Chengzhi, the county king, Miss Shangguan, and the prefect are all here. There is no room for you, a child, to speak."

child?An Ran couldn't help laughing, if Cui Chengzhi was a child, he would be a baby, but he could also understand that Su Tongjuan, in the officialdom, naturally had to abide by the rules of the officialdom, but Cui Chengzhi's words made Anran treat this person from the bottom of his heart. Grateful, even knowing that it would not be useful for him to stand up for him like this, and might offend Shangguan Yao because of it, but he still had a good impression of his outspoken words, and couldn't help but glance at him from afar.

But he didn't want to, this glance fell into An Jiamu's eyes, and he changed his meaning. He felt jealous, not suppressing his temper, and he had to flip the table in front of him.

Just now she said that she guessed that there was an outsider in her heart, but now it seems that it is really not possible. Could it be that she has fallen in love with Cui Chengzhi, this little boy?

An Jiamu cast a gloomy glance at Cui Cheng. Even though he was burning with jealousy, he had to admit that Cui Chengzhi was indeed born quite handsome. Moreover, she was younger than herself and had no wife yet. Could it be that this girl wanted to marry him?
Thinking of this, I became more and more annoyed, and snorted coldly: "The young master remembers it clearly. It has been so many days since the Jizhou Cooking Competition, and the young master still remembers it."

Cui Chengzhi frowned, and was about to say something, when An Ran suddenly said: "An Ran Xie Shaodong's family think highly of An Ran, An Ran dare not say that the cooking skills are excellent, but he cooks every dish with heart, as a cook, An Ran is worthy of Xin, as for authentic or not, it is a matter of opinion, it depends on the taste of diners.”

Shangguan Yao's brows frowned: "You are very courageous, does this mean that Miss Ben has wronged you?"

An Ran raised her head and looked at her: "An Ran didn't dare, but An Ran wanted to ask the honored guest, why is this Braised Prawn in Braised Sauce authentic?"

Shangguan Yao curled her lips: "You still can't pass the test on me. I am an authentic Yanzhou native. This stewed prawns have been eaten since I was a snack. How can I not know how to be authentic? Naturally, the color is red and bright, and the taste is delicious. In particular, the marinade on the shrimp must be sweet and sour.”

An Ran nodded, bent over and dipped her fingers in the marinade sprinkled on the ground, put it in her mouth to taste it, and then tore apart a prawn on the ground, the fresh and tender prawn flesh burst out, very tempting : "Then I dare to ask you, is the color of this braised prawns not bright enough, or the meat is not delicious enough, or the marinade is not sour and sweet enough, please tell me clearly, so I can know what is wrong. It will be better to improve in the future.”

After An Ran said a few words, Shangguan Yao's complexion changed several times, and she pointed at her: "You girl is really dishonest, if I don't speak the truth, I won't be the truth, what do you do?"

An Ran suddenly chuckled: "If the honored guest said so, An Ran would understand that it wasn't An Ran who made this dish of braised prawns.

Shangguan Yao felt that she had lost face, the more she looked at An Ran's fair face, the angrier she became, she got down from the table and slapped An Ran in front of her: "You are a vile girl, you are nothing at first glance. Good thing, Miss Ben will teach you a lesson today, and see if you are still talking about something unreasonable with Miss Ben." With a slap, An Ran received a solid slap.

An Ran clenched her fists and stared at her, but knew that at this moment, she absolutely couldn't fight back, even if she wished she could kick this woman to death, she had to bear this humiliation today.

Moreover, she doesn't hate this woman, and today's humiliation is not because of her at all. The burning pain on her face made An Ran know more clearly that this humiliation came from An Jiamu, and she had to keep this humiliation firmly in mind before she could This life has nothing to do with this man An Jiamu.

Shangguan Yao slapped her with a slap and did not relieve her anger. Seeing that An Ran was still looking at her like that without any fear, she became even more jealous for a moment. She was just a little girl. If An Jiamu hadn't supported her behind her, how could she dare to follow her like this? Match yourself.

The more she thought about it, the more she hated her, and she slapped her backhand again. An Ran clenched her fist tightly, closed her eyes and decided to fight it out today.

Shangguan Yao's second slap didn't land on her face, but she heard An Jiamu's almost growling voice: "Not backing down yet."

An Ran opened her eyes and saw that An Jiamu was blocking Shangguan Yao's hand, and there was anger, sternness, distress, and regret in her eyes when she looked at her, it was really a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be merciful.

An Ran laughed suddenly, even though her face felt a burning pain when she laughed, she still laughed lightly, but suddenly took two steps back, knelt on the ground, no longer looking at An Jiamu, but at the prefect Ji Gongming : "My lord, my little girl, An Ran, I want to ask my lord something, can you tell me?"

Ji Gongming was taken aback, and glanced at An Jiamu. He didn't expect things to turn out like this, but he secretly thought, Shangguan Yao is really barbaric. The majestic daughter of the governor's mansion actually embarrassed a little girl in public, and even made a move. It's like a shrew. It's not as good, after seeing this, I suddenly felt that Su Tong judged this Hedong lion as nothing, no wonder no one dared to marry, marrying such a dominatrix back home, no matter how good the family background is, there is no need to live a restless life in this life .

As for the little girl who was kneeling down, it is not easy to shirk when she asks herself in public, so she said: "If you want to ask anything, just say it."

An Ran: "I don't know if my Dayan law stipulates that the maids bought by various mansions may be redeemed?"

This... The magistrate was stunned. Why did this girl ask such a thing? Although a girl can be bought and sold, Dayan's law also clearly stipulates that she can redeem her body. As for the amount of money for redeeming her body, there are also regulations. It can't be more than ten times, but this girl asked why?
Suddenly, seeing An Jiamu's face that was almost extremely angry, he seemed to understand, could it be that she didn't want to follow An Jiamu, that's why An Jiamu kept her in the mansion in this way, if he guessed right, if he told the truth, wouldn't it be Giving this girl an excuse to redeem her life, in this way, offended An Jiamu, it would be bad to offend him for such a little girl.

Thinking of this, he chuckled twice, and said in a light-hearted way: "Brother An is always generous, and the job in Anfu is a good job that no one else can find. Since the girl is lucky to work in Anfu, she should cherish her blessings." .”

An Ran snorted coldly in her heart, nonsense, the magistrate went back to laughing at the mud: "An Ran understands what the magistrate means, that is to say, there is a rule in Dayan's law that a girl can be redeemed, then, An Ran dares to ask the magistrate to be a Proof, when An Ran first entered the mansion, he bought it with a tael of silver, now An Ran has redeemed herself ten times, and has nothing to do with An Manor ever since."

An Ran still uttered a few words, which stunned everyone present. Although they all saw that the relationship between her and Mr. An was unusual, they all thought that she must be willing. It's a great blessing, but she has excellent cooking skills, and being with An Jiamu is better than being a cook.

But this one insisted on redeeming herself and going out, and, depending on what she meant, she wished she had nothing to do with Anfu or An Jiamu for the rest of her life.

Whether it's the firm gaze or the decisive tone, everyone here has completely understood one thing, even if this is a humble little girl, she just doesn't want to follow An Jiamu. It's a desperate fight, and An Jiamu can't stop him even if he wants to. As long as the magistrate agrees, the matter of redemption will be a certainty, and no one can change it.

It made the magistrate even more embarrassed, and he couldn't help complaining about An Jiamu in his heart. A little girl couldn't handle it, and this made him in a dilemma.

I really didn't know how to deal with it, but I heard Xiaoyao County King, who was afraid that the matter was not serious, said: "I, Dayan, naturally allow the girl to redeem her body. The law stipulates that at most ten times the money for the redemption, she can get her freedom."

An Jiamu interrupted Xiaoyao County King before he finished speaking, grabbed An Ran's wrist, and looked at her gloomyly: "You think you can redeem yourself if you speak out in public, I might as well tell you today, but I shouldn't, Then you are in front of the Long Live Lord, and you are also the Lord's man." After saying that, regardless of the people at the banquet, she dragged her out of the Hexiangxie.

Everyone looked at each other, and when they came back to their senses, Shangguan Yao's face was flushed with anger, and she was about to chase her out, but she was caught by Prince Xiaoyao, and said in a cold voice: "What's going on, come back to Beijing with me as soon as possible, if something happens again, I will ask someone to send you back to the south today, the girl who has not left the pavilion is fighting with a girl for a man, you don’t want to be decent, this king wants more.”

Shangguan Yao is still quite afraid of her cousin, although she is always cheerful and doesn't care about anything, if she is really serious, it will be scary.

Sending off the brothers and sisters of Xiaoyao County Wang, the magistrate looked around: "Brother An probably won't be able to return for a while, why don't we leave today." He gave Cui Cheng a meaningful look, and took his wife gone.

As soon as the magistrate left, Su Tongpan naturally didn't stay behind. Looking at his wife and Chengzhi, he sighed and left.

The aunts wanted to stay in the other courtyard, but An Yuan passed on the words of the elder and told them to send them back to Jizhou City. After a good show ended like this, they were unwilling and dared not stay, so they could only go out with An Yuan. The other courtyard went back to Anfu.

Seeing that the carriage was gone, An Yuan couldn't help but glanced back. He really didn't want to go back. It had been so many years since the old man made such a big fuss. This girl is really capable. The old man set up this trap. Didn't he just want her to be tamed? Who would have thought that this would be the case.

Come in, go to An Ran's small courtyard, and when you get outside, you see the courtyard door is closed, and your own wife is waiting outside, hurriedly whispered: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Qin pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "It's all inside. As soon as I entered the courtyard, everyone was kicked out." Then she sighed: "This girl's temper is really tough, but what's wrong with it, I'm afraid that our master will be more reluctant to let go, I just found out today that this girl really doesn't want to follow the master, and in the past I used it as a means."

An Yuan: "Okay, let's take care of you and see what it means. I don't know what will happen in the future. I really don't know what this girl thinks."

An Jiamu couldn't figure it out either. He wanted to find an opportunity to tame this girl, but he didn't expect her to get slapped desperately, and made a fuss on the spot. He was extremely angry, but when he saw the little girl's swollen face, he was full of heart. The anger disappeared somehow.

The anger is gone, only the heartache is left, and she wants to touch her face, but she doesn't want to be avoided by her quickly. A pair of clear eyes are looking straight at him, which makes him feel a little guilty for some reason. Marry Shangguan Yao, don't worry."

An Ran smiled sarcastically: "What does the Elder Master marry has anything to do with An Ran?"

An Jiamu's heart was blocked, and when he saw her face, his heart softened again: "I really don't understand what you want, no matter what, you have already belonged to my master, and where do you want to go in this life, you just follow me Grandpa, I will do whatever you want. If you want to learn a craft, you will invite famous chefs from all over the world to come to your house and let you learn from them. If you want to go out, no matter if it is Jiangnan or Mobei, you will be able to take you with you. Go, if you think the mansion is chaotic, live in the other courtyard, if you think the other courtyard is not lively enough, I will give you the courtyard in Qingzhu Lane, what do you want, as long as you tell me, I will agree to you, don't be angry with me Well, it was good to talk and laugh like that before, why make such a fuss."

Seeing that An Ran simply turned around and didn't look at him, An Jiamu couldn't help thinking of Cui Chengzhi, and suddenly became jealous, pinched her chin and turned around, forcing her to look at him, and said through gritted teeth: "Could it be that you're looking at him?" Cui Chengzhi can't do it, otherwise, why do you have to redeem yourself and go out, do you want to stay and fly with him?"

An Ran looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "What does it have to do with Cui Chengzhi, An Jiamu, I don't want to be a servant of your Anfu, I just want to be free, you don't lack women, why bother with me."

An Jiamu didn't believe her words, so after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought of a reason, recalling the meaning of this girl's past words, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that you want to be the head wife of Anfu?"

As soon as the words came out, the little girl's eyes revealed a sarcasm: "Elder Master, don't worry, An Ran has no intention of climbing high, she just wants to be free."

An Jiamu didn't believe it, but felt that the more she was like this, the more she had guessed, as if she had found the reason, she couldn't help but said softly: "Your status, if you continue to enter the mansion at this time, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, and you don't have to." I am impatient, I really love you, I will not wrong you, I will find a suitable identity for you, and then you will come in, it will be justifiable, you see, I am true to you, you girl, don’t talk to me. If you make a fuss, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I haven't had a good night's sleep these days. As soon as I close my eyes, it's you girl. Although I didn't come to see you, you are all in my eyes and heart. Today, Shangguan Yao beat her up. If you slap me, I won't be able to stop you in the future, as if my heart hurts, don't worry, with this slap, I will find you back sooner or later..."

Saying that, she leaned over to kiss her, but An Ran pushed her away vigorously, quickly stepped back a few steps, and looked at him from a distance, eyes full of disgust: "An Jiamu, to be honest with you, Even if you have three matchmakers and six hires to marry me into your Anfu, I will not agree. I have never thought about getting married in my life. People, and it will never be you, we are basically people on two roads, there should be no intersection, you let me be free, it is not very good to continue to be your suave grand master, what do you have to force a woman who has no intention of , lost your majestic Mr. An's demeanor."

An Jiamu looked at her in shock, the disgust in her face and eyes was so unbearable, he asked for a long time, "What do you mean by these words?"

An Ran gritted her teeth, and simply had a showdown: "What I mean is that I don't like you, even if I want to marry, I will never marry you, so you and I will never be able to, why don't you let me go now, maybe There is still a little friendship, and when I think about it later, I won’t grit my teeth in hatred, which is a good thing for each other.”

Even if An Jiamu didn't want to believe it, he couldn't help it now. This girl really didn't mean anything to him, and she finally understood what she meant. What she wanted was a man who would treat her wholeheartedly, just like An Zihe before, who never married a wife , and never took a concubine, and there is no woman outside, so pure and innocent.

And she not only has a concubine, a housekeeper, but also has a reputation for being romantic outside. In her heart, the elder of the Anfu has already been doomed. Even if her body is given to her, she still will not submit , this is her principle.

What's more, even if he couldn't figure out the reason, he was quite clear that the girl who gave him his body back then was not the An Ran in front of him. If he was really a person, he wouldn't need to spend so much effort on his own, let alone get this kind of girl. the point.

In other words, even though she is a girl from Anfu, with a humble status, she still looks down on herself, the great master of Anfu. The blessing that other girls can't think of is a great shame to her.

An Jiamu couldn't figure out where her thoughts came from, but she couldn't help but hurt her pride. Who is he? He is An Jiamu. He has spread Anfu's business across the country and brought the two brothers together. , Mr. An with his hands and eyes open to the sky, he has money, power, means, and connections. Women have always been just a pastime to him. He only waved. Serve him with the best means, and have never been disgusted by a woman.

When the aloof Master An suddenly realized that An Ran really looked down on him, from the initial disbelief to the current shock, he suddenly became angry, stood up, and looked at her coldly: "You really are I don't know what is good or bad, what you said is that I never lack women, so why force a reluctant girl like you, which lowers my style, just one thing, you need to remember, since I have talked about this today, The Lord asked you to redeem yourself, but you only left the An Mansion, and from now on you will have nothing to do with the Lord, and the Lord will ask you again, do you really want to redeem yourself?"

An Ran was overjoyed, but she never expected such a turning point when she was on the brink of extinction, she didn't even think about it: "Just let me redeem myself, and I will leave Jizhou Mansion tomorrow, and An Ran can swear that she will never take a step into Jizhou Mansion again in this lifetime."

An Jiamu's face became even colder: "In that case, I will help you." Don't start walking away in a huff.

Happiness came so suddenly that An Ran couldn't get used to it. She stood there in a daze for a long time without recovering. It wasn't until An Yuan came in with her deed of prostitution that An Ran found some sense of reality.

An Yuan looked at her rather complicatedly: "Miss, why bother? The elder is sincere to the girl. If you follow the elder, you will have a secure life in this life. What good will this do for the girl?"

An Ran shook her head: "The manager won't understand, no matter how good the An Mansion is, it's just a luxurious birdcage to me, An Ran is not a canary kept in a cage, instead, An Ran would rather be a sparrow, You need to look around for food, but you are free."

Take out ten taels of silver from your own baggage and give it to him.

An Yuan hurriedly said: "The Eldest Master has ordered that you are the chef of the house after all, so the money for the redemption will be waived, and it is considered the last grace that the Elder Master bestows on you."

But An Ran couldn't help laughing, that man is really angry from embarrassment, a man like him can't listen to the truth, if he is really An Zihe... Thinking of this, he can't help shaking his head, now he still wants to do these things, he finally got freedom, hurry up It is important to leave this place of right and wrong.

Thinking about it, she packed up her luggage, declined An Yuan's kindness to send her by a car, and ran up to Zhuangzi with her luggage on her back. When she arrived at the back door, she found a boy from Zhuangzi and asked her elder brother Zhou Tai to come out. The two brothers and sisters went back together. Bell Alley in Jizhou Prefecture.

An Ran didn't tell her godmother what happened with An Jiamu in detail, she just said that she redeemed her body and planned to go out of Jizhou Mansion tomorrow to have a look outside.

Aunt Liu thought that she had been hit by An Zihe, so she couldn't help persuading her: "There are many good people, why bother to go outside because of the big manager, if you want, open a small restaurant in Jizhou Mansion and ask your elder brother and second elder brother to give it to you." Let's go, Niang can go over to have a look from time to time, but there is someone to take care of her, and her eyes are dark when she goes out, and you are a girl, if you let the bad guys think about it, you will be fine."

An Ran shook her head: "Godmother, just don't worry, I know some self-defense skills, ordinary bad guys can deal with it, besides, if I dress up as a man, be more careful, I think it will be fine."

Aunt Liu still felt that something was wrong, so she was determined to go, and she couldn't stop her, so she could only help her pack her clothes and luggage overnight, and then asked Zhou Tai to go to the mansion to invite the old man and two chefs over.

The master is open-minded, and wanted to go out for a walk safely, so naturally he would not stop her, but just explained where to find someone for help if she had any difficulties.

The two senior brothers were extremely worried, but seeing the master agreed, they could only reluctantly tell An Ran a lot, and when they heard that she was going to Yanzhou Mansion, they hired a carriage for her.

In the next day, it was just dawn in the morning, and when the city gate opened, An Ran left Jizhou City. The master, two senior brothers, godfather and mother, two godbrothers, and his little apprentice Defu, the group of people kept seeing him off. When I went to Shili Pavilion outside the city, I saw that Anran's car had disappeared, and then I turned around.

The second senior brother couldn't help but said: "Master, you are really relieved to let the little junior sister go out by herself."

The old man stroked his beard: "Your junior sister's culinary skills and understanding of dishes are already a veritable top chef, but she still lacks some experience and experience. Besides, it is impossible for her to perfect her family's Anji food list." Always stay in Jizhou Mansion, you need to gain knowledge, not to mention, the water in Anfu is too deep, this girl is devoted to cooking, and has no other thoughts, if she stays in Anfu, she will be in trouble, and she will be troubled. It's better to go out, her world is outside, for her, Jizhou Mansion is too small after all..."
