Red makeup against the world

Chapter 420 Register of Unmarried Men
Liu Qilan smiled slightly, and said, "Brother is injured, so my sister must do her best."

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, both Liu Qiran and her mother fell down, making her suddenly aware of her isolation and helplessness.

She was already brilliant, but her father was mediocre and her mother was incompetent.

In terms of learning, she lacks good teachers and helpful friends, so she can only rely on her own intuition and interests.The sudden accident gave her a sudden epiphany, and she spent all her time researching the woman's way of survival.

After doing this research, she broke out in a cold sweat.

It turns out that what she despises the most are female celebrities, cooking, and housekeeping, which are the way for women to settle down.Poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can help women win a talent and seek a better marriage.The way of Confucius and Mencius she is obsessed with is the least important.

Such a reality forced her to raise her head from the book and re-evaluate the plants, trees, parents, relatives, servants and servants in this mansion.

In just half a month, she came to a conclusion: the only way to live a stable life for herself was to marry a reliable man and hold on to him tightly.

For this reason, Liu Qilan devoted herself wholeheartedly to learning female celebrities and cooking, and shocked the embroiderers and cooks in the mansion with her rapid learning speed.

Hearing Liu Qiran's question, Liu Qilan smiled slightly and said, "If brother thinks it tastes good, sister can make it every day."

Smelling the tempting aroma from the food, Liu Qiran couldn't help moving his index finger and said with a smile, "Then I have to taste it."

Liu Qilan nodded confidently, and said, "Brother, please comment."

The servant helped him to the table and sat down. Liu Qiran closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the rice fragrance from the porridge, and praised: "This porridge doesn't look special, but it smells very good."

As one of the few playboys in the capital, Liu Qiran also has some experience in food.With his mouth, he has tasted countless delicacies from imperial banquets in the palace to street stalls, and he can tell the ingredients used in them just by the aroma.

But the porridge in front of him made him a little confused, and asked, "What ingredients are used in it?"

"It's nothing special. It's just that the japonica rice is washed three times with the clear spring water of Mangshan Mountain, and soaked for three hours between each washing. Then add the dried and ground powder made of wolfberry, ginseng, sealwort, umbrella mushroom, etc. Boil them together. In this way, the best taste of the japonica can be brought out, while the nourishment of the medicinal materials can be obtained, and the umami taste of the food can be tasted.”

Liu Qilan explained the method of making porridge in detail, which made Liu Qiran speechless.

He has seen many cooking methods, and there are many more complicated ones than this porridge.But those were all major dishes, and it was the first time he had heard that so much thought was spent on a home-cooked porridge.

After listening to her introduction, the glutton in my heart couldn't wait for a moment.Picking up the silver spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth to savor.

Seeing him tasting it, Liu Qilan was not worried. She had tried this porridge many times, and it had reached the best state in terms of taste, nourishment, color and so on.

Sure enough, after Liu Qiran tasted this spoonful, his eyes lit up, and he swept away the remaining porridge like a storm.At the end, he smacked his lips with unsatisfied intentions and asked, "Is this the only bowl?"

Liu Qilan smiled lightly and said, "Brother, why don't you try two side dishes, the food is expensive and the essence is not too much."

Liu Qiran stretched his chopsticks towards the duck breast, tasted the red oil mixed with bean curd sticks, and nodded again and again.He didn't even have the time to speak, so he ate everything in one go.

After rinsing his mouth with the tea presented by the servant, Liu Qiran smiled and said, "Such delicious food, do you ask me for it?"

Liu Qilan stood up, bowed to him solemnly, and said, "Brother is right, my sister is asking for something."

She was so cautious, Liu Qiran waved his hand, followed the order of the servants in the room, and then said: "Sister, you can talk."

"Since that's the case, I'll just say it straight." Liu Qilan took a deep breath, and said her deliberate decision these days: "I'll ask my elder brother for help, give me a list of men of the right age in the capital, the more detailed the more it is good."

"What?" Liu Qiran was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell off.As a girl of his, his eyes were always above the top and his eyes were clean, so he never expected that such words would come out of her mouth.

Seeing his astonishment, Liu Qilan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Women always want to marry. Brother, do you only say to help or not?"

Cannibalism is soft, maybe the girl is in love?Liu Qiran nodded and said, "Okay, it's not difficult, I'll give it to you in two days."

Liu Qiran is very familiar with the dignitaries in Beijing, and only needs a little tidying up.

"It's not just the children of the rich and powerful, but also the humble scholars and ordinary military generals, as long as they are of the right age, have not married, and have not taken concubines." Liu Qilan added.

It's not difficult, it just takes a little longer.Liu Qiran nodded in response, then changed his mind, and said with a smile: "I eat my sister's meal, and I'm doing you such a big favor. Does my sister have to make up for it?"

Ever since she realized that her elder brother was backed by her natal family, Liu Qilan was naturally willing to establish a good relationship with him and make up for the previous rift between the siblings.Immediately said: "Brother, please tell me, as long as the girl can do it, she will definitely do her best."

"It's not too difficult. In your next post, invite the two young ladies of the Tu family to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers."

"Oh..." Liu Qilan elongated her voice and said meaningfully: "I understand what big brother means. The peonies at home are blooming just right, and it's the season for viewing flowers."

With Liu Qiran's thick skin, he blushed a little, he hesitated and said: "Yes, yes, that's what it means."

Liu Qilan smiled sweetly, got up gracefully, and said, "Brother, don't worry, my sister will go to post now."

……

Tu family, Wen Han in the middle.

The door of Tu Manzhen's room was closed, and Shui Lan sat on the small table by the door in a daze.

Not far away, Tu Manfen walked over with Yinping, and said with a smile: "It's sunny, what are you doing with the door closed?"

Shui Lan bit her lip, stood up and said: "Eldest Miss, the embroidery in Second Miss's room..."

Before he finished speaking, Tu Manfen stretched out his hand to block it, and said: "Just embroider a flower on it, and it will be mysterious."

Yinping understood, stepped forward and opened the door, and Tu Manfen stepped inside.

Tu Manzhen had heard the voice a long time ago, but she never expected her to come in so quickly. She hurriedly stuffed the pile of things in front of her into the box, turned around and forced a smile, "Why are you here, big sister?"

Tu Manfen looked her up and down, and said, "You think I have this time? You've been secretive these days, what the hell are you doing?"

Her wedding date is set for September, and it is less than four months away from now, which is the time when she is busy embroidering the dowry.But she loved her sister eagerly, and when she heard the servant girl's reply, she immediately put down her work and came over to check.

"Aren't you embroidering?"
