When Yan Yingchen and I returned to Yan's mansion, I was already yawning. Yan Yingchen knocked on my head and said, "I've been talking all day. Do you know I'm tired now?"
I put my head down and nodded, "Brother, I'll go back to bed first. You should also go to bed early. I have to help Fuquan make breakfast early tomorrow morning.
After saying that, I waved my hand to Yan Yingchen and went back to myself. Ziqin and Huaishu couldn't help but feel distressed when they saw my tired appearance.
I tried to touch the exhausted facial muscles and comforted them, "I'm fine, but I slept too little yesterday."
"Sister, you are working so hard. Why don't you go to Huaishu to help? Alas, Huaishu is still so sensible. I have ignored him in recent days. I feel so guilty.
"My sister is not tired. I'm preparing for the three of us now. Wait for me for a while, and we can live a free life. I have to give them some suggestions.
Sure enough, Ziqin and Huaishu looked at me puzzledly. I don't have the energy to explain a lot to them now, just to say that I have other plans.
Then I fell asleep. Before falling asleep, I was still thinking that I hadn't washed my face yet. I had to get up, but my body was unwilling to move.
No dream all night, the sweet and stable one I slept.
Yan Yingchen came early this morning and stood in the yard waiting for me. After quickly solving my personal problems, I pulled Yan Yingchen to Qianwei Pavilion.
When I arrived at Qianwei Pavilion, I got into the kitchen without saying a word. I want Fuquan to help me and write down what I made at the same time.
I don't plan to make it today and have to sell it early. After all, I'm in a hurry. I just want to come and bring Fuquan so that he can get familiar with it, so that I can do it with him tomorrow, and the progress will be faster.
First of all, I'm going to cook several kinds of porridge to match people with different tastes. I simply made chicken porridge, longan lotus seed porridge, millet jujube porridge, and vegetable beef porridge. This is sweet, salty, meat and vegetables.
Then the porridge was boiled, and I began to make some staple food. Starting with the golden scallion pancake, I made roasted wheat, mushroom beef buns, exquisite bean paste buns and spring rolls.
Of course, the main reason why I can do it so smoothly is that the raw materials have been prepared in Fuquan yesterday, which saves a lot of process and time.
When the porridge is almost cooked, the staple food is also baked one after another. I asked Fuquan to take out all the prepared food for everyone to taste.
I also told him that if there are guests in the store, they will give one to the guests, and if the people who pass by outside want one, they will give them a free taste. In this way, if there are more people eating, there will naturally be a reputation, and they are not afraid that the business will be difficult.
When everything was finished, I sat at the table outside and asked Fuquan, "Have you learned all this today?"
Fuquan scratched his head and said with a smile, "Yes, third young master."
"That's good. I'll do it again tomorrow according to today's dishes. It's up to you, and I'll come and help you."
"Also, I will write a few more morning tea recipes for you, and I will make one of the dishes on the recipes for you. You learn the same way, and you can take the lead alone in the future. In this way, I can rest assured that Qianwei Pavilion will be handed over to you.
"Thank you, young master." Fuquan has always been not good at words, but I can see his deep gratitude in his eyes.
I rubbed my sore shoulder and said to Fubo, "Fubo, bring me the account book to have a look."
Fubo turned around and went into the room. In a short time, he handed the account book to me and said respectfully, "Master, please have a look."
In fact, the main purpose of reading the account book is to know how much money I can take from Qianwei Pavilion. I want to ensure that after I take the money, Qianwei Pavilion can still operate normally.
I turned over the account book carefully and found that the money I can take away at present is 50 taels. Although it's already a lot, after all, it will cost three people, and I'm worried that I will be overstretched. And in accordance with the principle of poor families and wealth, I have to make more money.
What's more, it will take four or five months for me to leave. Qianwei Pavilion is booming now, and I don't have to worry about having money to take it.
I closed the account book and saw Yan Yingchen coming in from the outside. He just said he wanted to go out and buy something, but he didn't come back until now.
When I saw him enter the door, I thought of my husband. It was time for me to get close to him.
"Brother, you're back." I moved my chair and got up and walked towards him.
"Well, Nian'er, come here with me."
I followed Yan Yingchen to the inside and sat down. He took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it into my hand.
I took it and opened it carefully, and I was stunned. Inside the brocade box lies quietly with a string of brown cat's eye beads.
Yan Yingchen's warm smile enveloped the corners of his mouth again, "Mian'er, this is for you. If my brother is not by your side in the future, you can also think about it.
My heart trembled. Did Yan Yingchen notice that I was going to leave? Why didn't he hold me? Instead, he gave me such a valuable gift. You know, this one costs 90,000 in modern times.
"Brother..." I looked up at him quietly.
"Do you like it?" Yan Yingchen still smiled so faintly.
"Well, I like it, I really like it." Suppressing the urge to cry, I immediately put the beads on my wrist.
Cat's eye stone, a mysterious gem. Many people think it can bring luck and happiness. Be able to live a long life.
Brother, is that what you mean? Are you going to take me off? Finally, I couldn't help it, and tears fell drop by drop.
Seeing this, Yan Yingchen didn't say anything, just came over and hugged me. He whispered, "Nian'er, I hope to see you happy. But here, whether you marry the prince or Li, you can't make you really happy.
This has been the case since the struggle in the ancient palace. You have long said that you don't like it and don't want to be one of the women in the deep palace. So, if you have something you want to do, you can do it, and your brother won't stop you.
After listening to Yan Yingchen's words, I lay in his arms and cried loudly. But I didn't ask him to go with me, because I knew what he was carrying as a minister and a friend.
A man who is indomitable should be responsible and promising. So I can't say it. Although I know that the road he wants to take may be full of thorns, all I can do is silently bless him.
My brother, this warm man, may one day indulge in doing what he likes.
Converging my mood, I proposed to Yan Yingchen to go to Qinyuan, and Yan Yingchen happily promised.
Yan Yingchen asked Yan Fu to follow me and help drive. So I moved my not very heavy kong hou to Qinyuan, ready to learn piano skills with my husband, which would make it easier for me to communicate with him.
Why did you even get rid of it? It's because I plan to take Qinyuan as a second home and go there for a long time. In this way, on the one Hand, it is convenient to ask Mr. for knowledge, and on the other Hand, it can satisfy my curiosity, because I always feel that my husband is too mysterious, so I want to know his story.
When I stepped into the familiar gate of Qinyuan again a few days later, I suddenly found that once people found something to do, time would pass very quickly.
These days, I have always been running at Qianwei Pavilion, Qinyuan and Yanfu, and I have been very busy. Qianwei Pavilion's business is booming, and the morning tea business is also booming. I even dream of holding a small basin to receive silver at night.
Yi also often comes to Qianwei Pavilion to support him. Every time I develop a new dish, I will give it to him. However, Yi has been very strange recently. He always looks at me with a complicated look, and then he looks like he wants to stop talking. I'm too lazy to ask him. If he wants to say it, he will naturally say it. If he doesn't want to say it, it's useless to ask.
When I was in Qinyuan, I was the most free. When I had nothing to do, I chatted with my husband and played the piano. My husband taught me to play Go, but I learned a mess. Maybe I don't have enough brains. I can't play this Go. Later, I simply taught my husband to play gobang, so that the two of them could kill a few games back and forth.
I was thinking about it, and my feet didn't stop. When I found my husband, he was reading in the study.
The place where Mr. stays all day is either in the backyard or the study, and rarely in the front hall. So if he is not seen in the lobby, he must be in these two places.
There are no servants in Qinyuan, only an old couple are doing their daily chores. In the past, my husband's food was also prepared by them, but when I came, I was in charge of the problem of eating.
"Mr." I walked over and called him with a smile.
"It's Nian'er." The gentleman raised his head buried in the book.
"What are you looking at, sir?" With that, I pulled a chair and sat down.
"I'm reading some military books." Military book? I thought of Sun Tzu's Art of War in an instant.
"Oh----," I'm not interested. I don't want to study the method of military service for the time being, and I don't need it, so I changed the topic, "Nian'er wants to ask what you want to eat for lunch?"
"It's up to you to decide the dishes, and prepare more meals for one person." The gentleman said lightly.
"Do you have any guests? Then I'll prepare it now."
"Well, go ahead." After saying that, the gentleman buried his head in the book again.
When I got to the kitchen, I began to think about what to cook. If you entertain guests, then cook two more dishes. Don't be too stingy.
Fortunately, sir, here are some materials I brought yesterday, which should be enough.
Roll up your sleeves and cook a braised phoenix wing first. Although there is a lack of orange juice and lemon juice, you can change the taste and don't put it. Another stir-fried kidney flower, my husband likes spicy food, so he added some chili flavor.
In addition to the duck brought today, it is just to make a specialty braised duck block. Two vegetarian dishes, one stir-fried cabbage and one green vegetable bowl.
Finally, there is a delicious fresh mushroom soup, which is done.
I happily brought the dishes and walked to the backyard. (Because my husband likes quietness and feels that the backyard scenery is good, I usually eat in the backyard.) I'm still thinking about how much money Qianwei Pavilion can make.
I was happily counting money in my heart, but I intentionally bumped into a person.
So, I heard a "touch" sound. Three of the four plates fell directly to the ground, while four were impartially buckled on me and then slipped to the ground.
Suddenly, the fire of anger burned in my heart, and I glanced at the "culprit" with vicious eyes.
"Sinner" has a pair of eyes as dark as night and as bright as stars, a straight nose, the corners of the lips with a lazy smile, and a perfect jawline. The only shortcoming is a faint scar on the right cheek.
But this look really scared me. Because this face is obviously the grown-up version of the stinky child in my dream!
After discovering this problem, my anger went to another level in an instant, and finally couldn't help bursting out: "Hey! Are you blind?!"
"Your vegetable juice splashed on my shoes." He ignored me and said this in a hoarse voice. After listening to it, I was stupid on the spot.
I can't speak, I really can't speak. At this moment, I was hanging on my body, but he told me that the vegetable juice had splashed on his shoes. 0.01 seconds later, I solemnly concluded that he might be a brain-damaged person.
But I'm not going to let him go. The best thing about brain-damaged is that he is stupid and easy to bully. So I stepped forward and was ready to reach out to grab his collar. Unexpectedly, his body dodged slightly, and I was unstable and hugged the earth directly.
I lay on the ground and wanted to cry without tears. The "brain-damaged" slowly squatted down beside me and said, "I said you stained my shoes. Why didn't you apologize?"
I was speechless and didn't stop doing anything. I stretched out my hand to the "brain-damaged" and said softly, "Pilla me up, it hurts to fall." Let's see who has the nerves.
The "brain-damaged" smiled deeper at this, but avoided my hand and said gracefully, "I never touch such a dirty thing."
Finally, I couldn't stand it. I sat on the ground hoarsely and shouted at him, "How dare you think I'm dirty, you..."
"Nian'er!" Just as I was about to curse, my husband's voice sounded behind me.
Mr. frowned and looked at me sitting on the ground, covered with dirt, and then at the "brain-damaged" standing on one side.
said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Che, what's going on?"
Che, it turns out that the "brain-damaged" is called Che, and such a good name is really ruined by him.
"It's just a small accident."
"Accident? The person sitting here now is me, not you. Why do you say it so easily?" "Brain-damaged" actually said it was a small-small-accident, which made me so angry.
"Okay, Nian'er, stop arguing. Get up and wash and change into clean clothes. I'll ask Li's mother to cook a new meal.
I suppressed my anger and didn't say anything more. When I walked by the "brain-damaged", I stared at him fiercely. Unexpectedly, the "brain-damaged" didn't even look at me and followed my husband.
When I took a shower, I thought hatefully that I must let the brain-damaged suffer a little when I have a chance in the future. After washing, Li's mother sent me a set of clean men's clothing. Touched it with her hand. It was a good satin, and there was a smell of dragon's saliva.
After wearing it inside and outside, I found that I was like being put in a bag, which really didn't fit me. But I have no choice but to wear it out of the door.
As a result, as soon as I went out, I saw brain-damaged. I couldn't suppress my fire and wanted to fly up. As a result, before I could open my mouth, my face was covered by a suddenly flying towel.
"Dry your hair and don't break my clothes." What? Is this dress his?
As soon as I was in a hurry, I was about to tear off my clothes from my body. Seeing this, I smiled and said, "You don't want to take off your clothes in broad daylight, do you?"
"I..." Since I saw him, my language nerves have been disobedient and scolded myself for being useless, but there is nothing I can do.
In this way, I swayed to the backyard in a brain-damaged robe and began to eat with a bellyful of fire.
When eating, my husband always looks at me with a smile, and his eyes are quite meaningful. I'm very unlucky. Don't you think what's wrong with my brain?
After dinner, I had no intention of staying in Qinyuan again, so I told my husband that I was not feeling well and went back to Yan's house first.
Just as I was about to leave Qinyuan, I couldn't help it. I turned around and rushed to the brain-damaged and said fiercely, "Hey, brain-damaged, I'll bring my clothes back to you tomorrow, hum!" After saying that, I raised my feet and stepped on my brain-damaged feet with all my strength. I only heard him shouting "ah", and then I smiled proudly and left without looking back.
Back to Yanfu, I didn't dare to walk through the main door, so I sneaked back through the back door. As soon as I entered the yard, I went straight to Yan Yingchen's room, because now I really need someone to talk and vent my emotions.
As a result, as soon as I opened the empty door, I deeply regretted it. The moment I rushed into the door, I saw Yan Yingchen, Nangong Li and Nangong Yi sitting together talking. After hearing the sound of opening the door, six pairs of eyes looked at me together.
And it's too late for me to quit at this time.
