self-improvement as a cook

Chapter 71

An Ran has fully experienced how terrifying a man who is neglected is. If she hadn't softened her body and begged for mercy, she might not have gotten up in two days. This man is like a beast that has been hungry for several months. Chewed her bones and swallowed them.

What's more, it's worse than me to care about everything. I had a cold war with him because he lied to me time and time again, but now he used it to settle the accounts. He even remembered how many days she didn't talk to him, how long they didn't make out, Even she didn't cook for him a few times, etc. Anran could not remember the trivial things, but he remembered them very clearly.

Who said that men are oversized? An Jiamu is so small that it makes people speechless, and he is good at hitting snakes with sticks and distorting the facts. This matter should be his own reason, but now it is his own fault, so that Forcing An Ran to sign countless terms of humiliating power and humiliating the country under some kind of unspeakable coercion and lure, this man just now pretended to be magnanimous and let himself go.

Abandoning Mei Da's baggage, An Jiamu completely exposed his true colors. This man is treacherous, cunning, scheming, and he has no scruples. Moreover, An Ran is still a little awkward to make out with Mei Da who has suddenly become handsome, but he is not awkward. No matter how long it lasts, she will forget everything. This man has the ability to make her forget about today and night in an instant.

The husband and wife have been married for a long time, their bodies have already matched, and the reaction is almost subconscious. The difference is that they can't help but look at his face afterwards. Apart from awkwardness, An Ran still has many things that he can't figure out, and he needs to explain.

It's a pity that after a few times of intense exercise, the last sliver of energy in her body has been drained, and only a thought crossed her mind, and she couldn't hold back and fell asleep. She didn't know how to take a bath and change clothes.

Anyway, this man has long been familiar with this kind of thing and likes to do it, so An Ran simply handed it over to him with peace of mind, which is also considered a kind of love between husband and wife.

Another day, An Ran just woke up at noon, remembering that her brother-in-law An Jiashu was in Cuiyuan, and her own sister-in-law had slept until now. As soon as her legs gave way, An Jiamu hadn't come in in time to hug her, so she sat on the ground.

An Ran looked up and saw An Jiamu smiling at her, that smile was like a big cat stealing fish, she couldn't help but glared at him: "Still smiling, it wasn't you, how could I be like this."

An Jiamu laughed more and more: "That's why, Madam, don't quarrel with me in the future. It's okay to pay off the debt every day. It's naturally the result of paying it off."

An Ran punched him angrily: "How can I cook in this way, your brother is here."

An Jiamu bowed his head and kissed her: "Don't worry, why Jiashu is so ungrateful, knowing that his brother and sister-in-law are newly married, naturally they won't leave any objection, and he still wants to hug his nephew."

Only then did An Ran feel relieved, and when he mentioned this, he remembered something, glanced at him and said: "Before you were so anxious to have a child, was it because you were afraid that I would not forgive you and find a way out for yourself."

"Uh..." An Jiamu's eyes flashed. Even if this matter is a fact, he can't admit it. Now his wife can't care less about it. If it makes him fall in love with him, it won't be bad. Said: "My husband is getting old, there must be a son and a half daughter to be worthy, I will take you out to eat, today's lunch is made by your apprentice, don't say, this kid is really making progress now, I have seen it You will be able to graduate in two years." He carried An Ran outside.

I didn't see Gouzi, this kid was clever, he knew that when Master was with Master, he didn't like his presence, so he avoided him as much as possible. Temperament, at most they will be reprimanded, as long as they admit their mistakes and have a good attitude, they can get over it, but the master is different, they have seen the methods of the master once or twice.

Not to mention getting Qian Shichen to the capital in Qizhou to clean up the affairs of Cui Qing and Ge Shunsheng, this time Liu Yicai really hurt his family. It is useless for Shangguan Yao to marry someone.

It is better to stay away from such people. In the eyes of the master, except for the master, everyone else can clean up at will. However, Gouzi also worships the master very much in his heart. It's not a good thing, in Songyuelou, he has confronted himself many times, and the degree of shamelessness is in line with his master Wang Pinrong, no wonder he is a master and apprentice.

And ungrateful, the master here is about to beheaded, and he didn't even say to go and have a look, but hooked up with the lady of the governor's mansion, fooling around happily every day, but, with Shangguan Yao's appearance, it's his fault, too much No more picks.

Knowing An Ran's habits, Gouzi doesn't cook many dishes, and recently likes vegetarian food, so he made an Arhat dish that An Ran had cooked in Chongyuan Temple a few days ago.

This dish was learned by An Ran from the chef of Chongyuan Temple. Luohan cuisine is actually a stir-fried dish in the temple. Various vegetarian dishes and mushrooms are fried together. The taste is light and smooth. What you eat is the original umami taste of mushrooms and vegetables. Because there are as many as [-] kinds of ingredients, which coincide with the eighteen arhats, they are also called Arhat dishes.

After An Ran learned it, she considered that these [-] kinds of ingredients are not available in any place, and many seasonal vegetables are only found in Suzhou, and they have to be divided into seasons, which makes this dish not widely known to the public, so she changed it a little. I chose several common mushrooms and vegetables, and stir-fried them with dried tofu. The finished dishes are fragrant, crisp and tender, with a unique flavor.

Naturally, the dish made by Gouzi is an authentic Arhat dish, a recipe he gave to Yashe, with three mushrooms and six ears plus more than a dozen kinds of mountain and seasonal vegetables, which are more delicate than those in Chongyuan Temple.

After all, where is Yashe's consumption level? Even ordinary dishes must be carefully crafted to meet the requirements of those diners.

The other one is the crispy pork tenderloin that An Ran made yesterday. Gouzi just learned from An Ran yesterday. He made it today for the master's advice. The soup is a simple mushroom soup.

Probably afraid that it would not suit An Jiamu's taste, he also made a small bowl of sliced ​​noodles. This was the first time Gouzi really cooked a meal. No matter from the combination of meat and vegetables, or the nutritional taste, he could try his best to take care of the taste of their husband and wife. , It can be seen that the brain has been moved.

Moreover, An Ran's culinary skills have improved a lot, and An Ran can't help but feel a little guilty. Although she has recruited apprentices, she doesn't really teach them much. Most of the three apprentices were brought out by the master and two senior brothers. As a master, she is extremely incompetent.

An Ran blushed even more: "I miss Gouzi, I feel that I am not competent as a master."

An Jiamu breathed a sigh of relief: "How can you be competent? You can teach each dish one by one? Don't you often say that apart from practicing the basic skills, learning to cook depends on your understanding. This understanding is not something a master can teach, but, The three apprentices you recruited are all extremely gifted and savvy, not to mention Gouzi Shunzi, even the Defu in Jizhou, who was taught by your master and senior brother, is also very good at cooking. Transfer him to Anji Restaurant to take charge of the stove, this kid just shouldn't, knowing that you are in Qizhou, he just thinks about it."

An Ran glanced at him: "If you think about it, you won't agree, you tried every means to hide from me, you pretended to be Mei Da, even your voice changed, how could you bring Defu to Qizhou , it’s not that I really want to see Master, when we get married, I’m afraid Master and Senior Brother won’t be able to come to Qizhou.”

An Jiamu coughed: "Well, eat vegetables, eat vegetables..."

Picked up a few chopsticks and piled them into An Ran's bowl, trying to get away with it, but An Ran didn't want to let him go easily, so she put down her chopsticks and looked at him for a while: "When you mentioned Jizhou, I remembered something. Senior brother told me to leave. After you got married, you took a concubine. She was an opera singer from the south. I heard that you liked it very much. Because of her, you dismissed the women in the mansion and lived in Qingzhu Lane. What did you lie to me again?"

An Jiamu knew that this matter could not be avoided, and she had to explain it clearly sooner or later. An Ran could forgive him for concealing his identity, but she would never forgive him for looking for a woman. This was her bottom line, so she put down her chopsticks and embraced her in her arms: "At that time, I had already gone to Qizhou to pretend to be Mei Da. The reason why I pretended to be Mei Da was to get close to you in the first place, and to find out why you refused to follow me life or death. To be honest, I never felt that three wives The four concubines are wrong, after all most men have wives and concubines in groups, it's not that I'm praising myself, compared to others, I'm pretty clean."

Seeing An Ran's small mouth curled up, An Jiamu hurriedly said: "Of course, that was in the past, so I couldn't accept it when you said that at first, but later I found out that you meant it, and then we got better and better, I also think what you said is that two hearts are as one, that is the real liking, and you can't get in the way of others."

An Ran was a little dazed. Although he had experienced these things before, it was different when he said them now. In fact, he was quite selfish. Just like what he said, all the men here are like this. Three wives and four concubines have become The general rules here, even a savage young lady like Shangguan Yao, when she was in the other courtyard in Jizhou, tolerated and acquiesced to An Jiamu's concubine, which shows that she recognized this marriage model in her bones.

It's simply whimsical for me to judge a native ancient man with a modern view of marriage. She has always considered it from her own point of view, but she has never put herself in An Jiamu's shoes.

Moreover, emotionally passive, if An Jiamu didn't figure it out, but gave up in a fit of anger and didn't catch up to Qizhou, they would really miss it in this life. However, if he didn't go to Qizhou, the two of them would have no experience. In that fire, he would not really marry him, and he would not agree with his own ideas.

Sometimes An Ran thinks about it, maybe An Jiamu hasn't really recognized her view of marriage until now, but she chooses to compromise because she doesn't want to lose herself.

It is somewhat realistic to think so, but marriage is a reality. If both of them firmly believe that they are right, it is impossible to become a husband and wife.And marriage needs to be managed, and if you can keep this not wanting to lose throughout, your marriage will be happy and successful.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled silently: "If you want to talk about him, it's useless."

An Jiamu: "Don't worry, for Madam's narrow-mindedness, you have to explain clearly as a husband, you girl is not easy to fool, think about it, if you didn't know that I took a concubine in Jizhou that day, would you let go of your guard?" , wouldn't you be suspicious of Mei Da who suddenly appeared? Dare you say that you didn't doubt it at the beginning?"

An Ran was stunned, what he said was that when Mei Da appeared for the first time, he did have some doubts about him, and suddenly remembered something, and pushed him away: "I remembered, you just know that I have doubts about you, That's why you asked Mr. Mei to point out that you want to take a concubine to send wedding invitations to Mr. Mei, right? You are really capable, and even Mr. Mei can make plays with you."

An Jiamu smiled bitterly: "You don't know how I begged Mr. Mei. In addition, Mr. Mei owed me a big favor a few years ago, so he reluctantly agreed. Later, he saw my sincerity towards you, and I was afraid that we would miss it. , to help me hide it."

"Then who is that in Green Bamboo Lane?"

An Jiamu shook his head: "Where did anyone see such a concubine? It's just a cover-up by me. What's more, knowing that you like the yard in Qingzhu Lane, how could I let other women live in it?" He lowered his head to kiss her, but An Ran avoided him: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while, this is made by my apprentice, it cannot be wasted."

An Jiamu knew what she said, and he would pass the test, so he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this girl would make an old score with him again. Based on what he knew about this girl, he could be said to have a bad record in her heart. Even though I have had so many women, it is the blessing of the Buddha, and I will ask the housekeeper to go to Chongyuan Temple to add more incense.

The couple ate, and before they had finished eating, Yue Jintang came, instead of dropping by as usual, he asked the door to be opened in a serious manner, and asked the housekeeper to announce the arrival of an imperial decree.

The housekeeper's face turned pale with fright, and he rushed in to report the news. An Ran couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and looked at An Jiamu: "Why did the imperial decree come to Cuiyuan?"

An Jiamu asked the servant girl to go in to get the clothes, and the two said while exchanging: "It is estimated that the emperor has heard of your reputation and wants to invite you to Beijing."

"Recruit me to the capital? Do you want me to enter the imperial dining room?"

An Jiamu shook his head: "Now that you are married to me, it is impossible for you to enter the imperial dining room. I guess the emperor intends to let you compete with Han Zizhang in cooking. Go out and receive the imperial decree first. Don't be afraid, everything is up to me. "

This sentence is like a reassurance pill, instantly calming An Ran's mind, yes, what am I afraid of, I am just a cook, I have neither committed crimes, nor murdered and set fire, so could it be that for no reason, the emperor still wants I can't die.

The couple went out and knelt down, burning incense to receive the decree, Yue Jintang read it out very solemnly, to the effect that the Empress Dowager's birthday was approaching, in order to show the emperor's filial piety, famous chefs from all over the world were invited to Beijing to cook delicacies for the Empress Dowager In the culinary competition, I heard that An Ran's cooking skills are superb, so I specially ordered An Ran to come to Beijing.

Although it was an imperial decree, the wording was polite. After accepting the decree and withdrawing the incense case, Yue Jintang said with a smile: "Congratulations to Chef An."

An Ran couldn't help giving him a blank look: "Since we said we are inviting, can An Ran not go?"

Yue Jintang was stunned: "You don't want to die, this is an imperial decree. Besides, at this point, the battle between you and Han Zizhang is unavoidable. Get rid of that guy earlier, and your kitchen business will be at peace one day sooner, saving you money." Let this stinky fish make the pot full of fish, or if you are afraid of losing to Han Zizhang, you don’t need to worry about this. Although Han Zizhang is not bad at cooking, you are stronger. The king has confidence in you, and, This matter is urgent, we have to leave tomorrow."

He couldn't help sighing: "Don't talk about you, I don't want to leave either. Now that Yashe's business is just right, I wish I could just settle down in this city of Suzhou. How can I be willing to go back to Beijing? It’s not a matter of thinking or not, but we have to go, and we have to board the boat tomorrow.”

Because things were too urgent, the couple didn't have time to love each other. They each prepared their own things, An Ran packed his luggage at home, and An Jiamu and Yue Jintang went to take care of the elegant house.

As soon as Yue Jintang left, there was no one to look at Yashe. No matter what, he had to find someone suitable to come over. This choice made An Jiamu a little embarrassed. Yashe was different from other businesses in that the guests who came here were all the top dignitaries in the south of the Yangtze River , these people are not easy to serve, and there are other businesses in Yashe, which requires an extremely capable and slick steward. Support in the past for a while, and then find the right one later.

When I came back and mentioned it to An Ran, An Ran thought of someone, so she mentioned it to An Jiamu, An Jiamu nodded: "An Zhi is indeed suitable, but I didn't expect you to mention him, and I thought you didn't like him."

An Ran knew that what he was talking about was the fact that he colluded with An Zhi to deceive her back then, so she couldn't help giving him a blank look: "One size counts for another, besides, you are the grand master of An Mansion, his food and clothing parents, you let him lie to me, How dare he go against you, and he is indeed quite capable, it is a pity in Jizhou."

An Jiamu also felt that An Zhi was the most suitable, so he sent a letter to Jizhou and transferred An Zhi to Suzhou as soon as possible.

The luggage was packed and moved to the boat. Anran deliberately resigned from Mr. Mingyue. The husband didn't say anything, but regretted that it would be difficult to eat Anran's dishes in the future. Anran couldn't help laughing. It's everywhere.

Early the next morning, the couple left Suzhou City by light car and boarded the boat at the ferry.

As soon as they arrived at the ferry, An Ran couldn't help being stunned, they came out early, and it was not bright yet, the reason why they left so early was because they didn't want to disturb the people in the kitchen.

During these days in Suzhou, An Ran has been reclusive, but because An Ran does not hide her secrets, as long as she knows the dishes, or thinks of new dishes, she will write them down and pass them on, so that the entire Jiangnan kitchen industry will be swept away by the northern cooks. The decline of the run, showing a thriving.

What's more, she defeated Wang Pinrong, which was equivalent to eliminating one evil for Jiangnan. The kitchen business also became a death row prisoner because of Wang Pinrong. The cooks from the north and the south no longer competed with each other. A delicate balance was reached, and the kitchen business was also much more peaceful.

Before, I thought that An Ran was just talking about it and would never spread his unique skills to the outside world. Those people have also shut up now. These things are nothing to An Ran, but they are different in the eyes of these cooks.

When the imperial decree arrived at Cuiyuan, it was spread all over the kitchen shop. There was no need to deliberately organize it, and no one took the lead. This morning, we arrived at the ferry by coincidence. In the twilight, the dense crowd could not be seen at a glance. When An Ran came to Suzhou, it was much more spectacular. Although the faces were completely different, the sincerity and reluctance on the faces were the same, which moved An Ran inexplicably.

An Jiamu helped her get out of the car, An Ran stood up, first saluted everyone, and said: "An Ran is just a cook, so I shouldn't treat you like the seniors of the kitchen industry, everyone, please go back."

Cui Fu, the owner of Songyuelou, stepped forward and said: "Young girl is superb at cooking, but she never hides her secrets. Who else is it, we really can't bear it, so we collected the girl's unique skills and your innovative dishes one by one, and compiled them into a book. This is a little thought from our Jiangnan Kitchen, please accept it." Bring over the tray in your hand.

An Ran uncovered the red silk on the top, she couldn't help being stunned, there was a book in the tray, it was printed quite exquisitely, this is not the point, the point is the words on the cover, Anjia Food List.

When An Jiamu entered the cabin, he found that An Ran was still sitting by the window, staring at the An Ji food list in his hand in a daze. An Jiamu sat next to her: "What are you thinking? You have been reading this booklet for a few days."

"I was just wondering which came first, the egg or the chicken."

An Jiamu was stunned: "What came first, the egg or the chicken? What do you want to do?"

An Ran just came to her senses, if I explain this to him, I don’t know that it will be the year of the dog. I have never mentioned the matter of An Ran’s food list to outsiders, but there are eight restaurants in Qizhou before, and there will be later. Jiangnan Kitchen Company gave me two Anji food lists one after the other. I really can't figure out whether this is a coincidence or God's will.

I came to this world inexplicably. My original purpose was to supplement the Anjia food list, but when I gave up, I vaguely achieved the original purpose. Moreover, these food lists were not organized and collected by myself, but collected from many in the kitchen. The wisdom of the predecessors.

She has long discovered that besides the dishes she has cooked, there are many other people's unique skills. When she was in Qizhou, the eight-treasure bag chicken in Jufenglou, the shrimp cooking section in Huiquan Pavilion, and other signature dishes of time-honored brands It is impressively included in it, and it is also the case in Jiangnan now.

These are all the unique skills of the time-honored brand, which are now recorded in An's food list, how can An Ran not be moved.No wonder grandpa often said that as long as you treat each other with sincerity, you will receive the same sincerity. It's just that she is confused about this, so how can she explain it to An Jiamu.

So he shook his head: "It's nothing, you were playing chess with Yue Jintang, why are you back?"

An Jiamu hugged her in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder: "What's the point of playing chess with him? Why don't you come back and be with my wife?" He said and glanced outside: "Still talking about being in Jiangnan I lived there for a year or two, but I didn’t want to, so I left in just a few months.”

There was a sense of regret in his tone.

An Ran couldn't help laughing: "You really don't want to miss Shu, don't you want to go back to Jizhou? Jia Shu said, An Mansion is deserted now, he doesn't even want to go back."

Yue Jintang: "He's good at talking. I haven't seen him stay at home for a few days before. He spends most of the year outside and doesn't have a family. It breaks my heart as a big brother."

An Ran also couldn't help being a little curious: "When I was in An Mansion, I heard from the servants in the mansion that Jiashu doesn't like women getting close, what's the reason?"

An Jiamu shook his head: "I don't know, Jiashu is a bit weird when he has a small temper, but he is quite close to An Zihe. They often hang out together, closer than Jiayan and me, and they like to talk to each other. and say."

An Ran only felt something flash through her mind, but suddenly felt a pain in her finger, An Jiamu actually bit her: "Why did you bite me?"

He wanted to pull it back, but he didn't let go, instead, he moved closer to her ear and bit her ear even harder.

An Ran was just about to get annoyed, but he heard him say: "When I mentioned Jia Shu, I remembered an old incident. Who was the girl who bumped into Jia Shu in the corridor west of An Mansion?"

An Ran's head buzzed, and she thought to herself, how did he know this? He didn't tell anyone about it, and he was going to rot in his stomach: "What? Are you guilty? Are you going to confess to your husband, or let him torture you to extract a confession?" , choose by yourself, if you wait for a big punishment for your husband, it will be useless for you to ask for forgiveness."

The tone was quite dangerous, and An Ran's scalp was numb. If An Jiamu really wanted to torment her, it would definitely be worse than any punishment, but still holding on to a little luck, thinking that he was fooling himself, he insisted: " What is in the aisle, how do I know..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a big hand poking in from her waist, and An Ran hurriedly grabbed it: "I, I said, in fact, I don't remember what happened that day. I can't drink alcohol. Once I eat When you drink, you will meet, and you will..."

It's really hard to say, but An Jiamu doesn't plan to let her go: "What will happen?"

An Ran was embarrassed to say it, but she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed: "I can't remember what I did after drinking, how would I know?"

But An Jiamu said: "You probably know Jiashu's temperament, he is not a temper tantrum, unless he hits his bottom line, and his bottom line has only been one for so many years, that is, he doesn't like women close to him. He broke into the study yard early in the morning and was very angry. The last time I saw him like this, it was because a singing girl who didn't know the details came up to sit on his lap, and Jiashu himself said that the reason why he didn't see clearly that night The reason for the girl's appearance is because the girl rushed towards him as soon as she saw him, and hugged him desperately and did not let go."

Pfft... An Ran spewed out the tea he had just drank, and simply pushed him away and stood up: "What exactly do you want to ask? That's right, I was the one who bumped into Jiashu that night. Let's count it today, so what if it was me that night? It's just that I was drunk and couldn't tell who it was. How about you, how many women and lovers you have outside, why don't we count them one by one today? .”

An Jiamu was overjoyed, grabbed her hand and hugged her into her arms: "You are dishonest, talking about Jiashu, why did you bring up an old debt? I thought you didn't care, because you have always been upset. It's not necessary, even if there are many women before, they are gone, since I have you, I am very innocent from heart to body, well, let's not mention this, and you will not be allowed to eat in the future liquor."

An Ran said in her heart, if you don't tell me, I will remember it too. The lesson is too profound, but she heard the man say: "However, the exception is when we are husband and wife in the room..." An Ran was about to say something, but she couldn't say it anymore. Yes, he swallowed all of them into An Jiamu's mouth, this man is really wicked sometimes.

When they arrived in Qizhou, An Ran let the dog go ashore, went to Qizhou to send a letter to the master to report his safety, and took Shunzi to the capital along the way.

Originally said to call Defu, but An Jiamu stayed in Jizhou on the grounds of lack of cooks. When An Ran returned to Jizhou with him during the Chinese New Year, he found out that Defu had been transferred to Jiangnan, which made An Ran quite upset. strangeness.

It wasn't until later by chance that An Ran discovered that An Jiamu was a treacherous man. He had intentionally or unintentionally cleared up the men who appeared around her from a very early age. Regardless of whether he had any plans for her or not, as long as they were of the same age, they were all thorns in his eyes. .

Even later, when Gouzi Shunzi got older, he pushed him far away, and he didn't see An Ran a few times throughout the year. When his son was born, he, a son who was a father and had no integrity, competed for favor...

This is something for later, let’s not mention it for the time being, and now, when An Ran and the others entered Beijing, it was already approaching Qixi Festival. is connected.

I heard An Jiamu mention it a few times, when An Jiayan married Xie's daughter in high school, he bought these two houses in Beijing. After the renovation and expansion, the current Shilang's mansion is next to it. This side has always been empty, only him Occasionally, he would only stay for a few days when he came to Beijing, and usually the wife of the minister often came to take care of him.

An Ran was still a little nervous, even though she met An Jiashu, after all An Jiashu was a quack, but this An Jiayan was the servant of the court official, and the servant's wife was the daughter of the Xie family.

The Wang and Xie clans are the top family members of Dayan, the emperor's biological mother, the late Queen Mother Duanjing, the mother of Wang Yuejintang of Xiaoyao County, and the original wife of Shangguanyi, the governor of Jiangnan, all belong to the Xie clan. The ministers are all related by marriage to the Xie family. This family is deeply intertwined and powerful, and it is a real family.

Moreover, this Mrs. Minister is still an upright noble daughter of the Xie family. In terms of relationship, her relationship with the emperor and Yue Jintang is much closer than that of Shangguan Yao.

An Ran was rather curious, how could she have married An Jiayan back then, no matter how big the An family's business was and how rich they were, they were only merchants after all, these aristocratic families valued the most reputation and status, and generally would not marry merchants, could it be that they valued An Jiayan? Potential stocks, as if this is the only explanation.

An Ran's nervousness made An Jiamu laugh, and touched her face: "It's really rare to see you like this. How about seeing so many people at Suzhou Ferry without seeing you?"

An Ran gave him a blank look: "Can this be the same? Those are all people in the kitchen, either my seniors or colleagues, but now they are high officials from the imperial court who I want to see."

An Jiamu shook his head: "It's not an official of the imperial court. Jiayan is my brother just like Jiashu. You are their sister-in-law. The elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Jiayan pays the most attention to etiquette. I will definitely not make things difficult for you. Although his wife comes from a family , is also a sister-in-law in front of you."

Just as he was talking, the carriage stopped, An Jiamu helped An Ran get out of the car, and when he got out of the car, he saw a large crowd of people in front of the gate, women, girls, servants, stewards... Even if they all lowered their heads, they couldn't see it from the corner of their eyes. But they all secretly looked at themselves.

An Ran knew in her heart that even if she married An Jiamu and became the righteous lady of the An family, I am afraid that these people would be clear about her identity and experience, including the matter of An Ran's climbing on the bed to seduce An Jiamu before. on the head.

No need to think too much, An Ran can guess what they are thinking, they don't care how good a cook they are, they just feel that they are just like them, they used to be a servant, but now they have become the daughters of An Mansion. Owner.

These people were unwilling, resentful, and disdainful, and even though they were forced by An Jiamu's power and did not dare to show it, they would still despise themselves from the bottom of their hearts. It should be said that they were both envious and despised.

This is always unavoidable in the mansion, and this is the reason why An Ran tried everything possible to leave An Mansion. These intrigues, scheming, tricks, quarreling, the women in the back house are just fighting to please. man, what's the point.

Seeing An Ran's deity, Xie Yi Niang, the servant's wife, was startled for a moment. She only found out about her uncle's marriage a few days ago, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed that her husband was hiding it from her, but she couldn't say anything. A woman obeys four virtues, obeys her father at home, and obeys her husband when she gets married. , is her boudoir training since she was a child.

Even when the husband makes mistakes, as a wife, he has to be tolerant and not to be criticized, but he never thought that the uncle would be so reckless that he would marry a servant in the mansion as his wife in a serious manner, and he still has a bad reputation. Good girl, what kind of words does this sound like? Could it be that it is impossible for my dignified Mrs. Shilang to greet a servant.

If you don't know the etiquette, now she is the dignified lady of the Anfu, that is, her own sister-in-law, the etiquette can't be bad, I thought she was a frivolous and lowly girl, but I didn't want to, but it was beyond my expectation.

Although the dress is simple but not frivolous, although there are not many jewelry on his body, but there are only a few pieces, but all of them are priceless treasures, which shows how much the uncle cares about this new sister-in-law.

She is even more beautiful, she is not the kind of gaudy woman, she doesn't have the slightest bit of pettiness, and she behaves gracefully. If she didn't know her background, I might think she was a lady from some family, but she gave birth to a bluff Son, it's no wonder that the uncle is so bewildered.

I remember her mother said that a really powerful vixen can't look like a vixen, but can seduce a man's soul the most.

An Jiayan glanced at her, frowned slightly, and coughed. Mrs. Xie came back to her senses, and followed him to greet her: "Brother and sister-in-law, is the trip safe?"

As soon as An Jiayan finished speaking, two little boys ran out from behind and put them into An Jiamu's arms: "Uncle, Uncle, you are here. My brother and I are looking forward to your coming to the capital every day..."

An Jiayan's face sank: "I forgot all the rules, what should I do when I see uncle?"

The two children hurriedly stood up straight, with serious faces: "Hao Si, Hao Yu kowtows to the uncle." Plop knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow, An Jiamu grabbed them one by one: "Don't listen to your father, you can teach him when you are young Just like a little old man, there are no outsiders here, no need to kowtow, come, this is the aunt, the aunt is the most skillful, the snacks and food she makes are better than the royal chef in the palace."

The two little guys called aunt, and then looked at An Ran curiously: "Can aunt really know how to cook?"

An Ran smiled and nodded: "Yes, I will make it for you some other day." But she reached out and took two boxes from the servants behind, and handed them: "This is a little thing that my aunt asked someone to make for you. Let's play."

The two children were very well behaved, although they felt that An Ran didn't look like an old lady, they still thanked An Ran politely.

Xie Niang stepped forward and blessed: "Niang greets my sister-in-law."

An Ran hurriedly helped her up: "Why is the whole family being so polite? I heard Jiamu mention that the younger siblings are capable and manage the servant's house in an orderly manner, but they have never seen each other."

While speaking, he also took a small box from the hand of the servant woman next to her, and put it in her hand: "It's the first time I've seen you, this is a little wish from my sister-in-law, please don't dislike me."

Xie Niang said a few polite words, she didn't care at first, but when she looked at the box, she couldn't help being stunned, if she read it correctly, then, the logo on this box could be from the Jiangnan Jin family...
