Red apricots make spring

Chapter 119
It turns out that the [-]th day of next month is the birthday of the Ninth Prince Xie Tianhao of Dazhao, Shen Yuan decided to prepare a few tables of wine to celebrate his birthday on the [-]th day, but what about the banquet? I really couldn't make up my mind, so I thought of my dissolute second son and asked him for some ideas.

"Cousin is not a fastidious person, so just set up a few tables of wine to satisfy your wishes. Could it be that he will blame us for not being well prepared?" Shen Mengan was thirsty, and when she saw tea on the table, she took a cup He got up, touched it with his hand, it was cold, and automatically picked up the steaming cup in front of Lu Ce, looked at it and said, "You haven't drunk it, have you?"

Lu Ce shook his head, he picked up the cup and drank it down, then picked up the purple sand pot and poured another cup.

Hearing this, and seeing his rash behavior, Shen Yuan almost couldn't hold back and wanted to reprimand him again, but this kind of scolding would delay the discussion, so he had to endure it, and said in a muffled voice: "After all, he is a prince, he can't Too simple."

"Why don't we call two troupes of small operas and invite a few ditty singers and storytellers to serve us, so we can make it more lively." Shen Mengan reached out for another crystal jelly, stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a vague smile: "I recently I met an actor, his appearance is nothing to say, he is more delicate than a woman..." Halfway through speaking, he consciously slipped his tongue, raised his eyes to sneak a peek at his father, and found that Shen Yuan's face was really dark, and quickly swallowed the crystal After going down, he changed his words and asked: "I don't know if Dad is going to serve wine during the day or at night?"

"What do you think?" Shen Yuan threw the question back to him.

Shen Mengan thought for a while and said: "Eating wine during the day is really not fun, I think it's better to do it at night? There is nothing to do at night, everyone can have fun."

Shen Yuan said noncommittally: "Go on."

"There is a shop in the city that is used to making fireworks. I heard that all the fireworks and firecrackers used in the palace are ordered from him. I can book some first." Shen Mengan looked at his father cautiously, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, Then he continued: "You can also find someone to make more lanterns and hang them on the tall pavilions and trees in the mansion. When they are lit at night, they look like silver flowers and snow waves, very eye-catching. The banquet is placed in the lake and pond over there. On the cruise ship, the windows are opened to ventilate all around, not only cool and spacious, but also to enjoy the moon, and find a few people to play flute and sing on the shore, the music floats to the cruise ship along the night wind through the water, it sounds very clear Ear."

Shen Yuan stroked his mustache while listening and nodded silently, obviously very interested in his novel idea, and after he finished speaking, he sighed: "That's all!" However, he immediately opened his eyes and said: "You just have to If you can work hard on these romantic things, if you use this mind to study, won't you easily come back with the champion?"

Shen Mengan lowered her head in fear, slandering in her heart: Obviously you told me to say it, if I say it badly, you just want to scold me for being rotten, and you can't even come up with a good idea. I am used to working hard on these things, it is simply nitpicking and deliberately finding fault!
"Nephew Lu Xian, what do you say?" Shen Yuan turned to ask Lu Ce's opinion again.

"Very good." Lu Ce knew that Shen Meng'an somewhat disliked him, so he didn't want to speak out if he had an idea, so as not to sweep his face again.Besides, the Ninth Prince is related to the Shen family, and he, an outsider, can't let him intervene in this kind of matter, and he has no interest. If Shen Yuan didn't pull him to listen, he would have left long ago.

"Yi'er, what do you think?" Shen Yuan turned to ask the younger daughter again.

Shen Mengyi pondered for a while and said: "Let's find some good cooks. I saw the banquet hosted for my cousin last year. He seldom used his chopsticks, probably because he thought it tasted bad."

"The cooks in his house are all imperial cooks bestowed by the Holy God, how can the ordinary dishes outside catch his eyes?" Shen Mengan said disapprovingly.

Shen Yuan looked at him, and said with a sneer: "The cook of our family is still the imperial cook given by the sage, why don't you see you eating at home every day? If you have nothing to do, go outside to drink flowers and wine! I will leave this to you. If I find a good cook, I will revoke your one-month grounding punishment, if you can't find one—" He said with a grunt, "You will be fined to not leave the house for half a year!"

Too cruel!His old man's trick is too cruel!Where can he find such a good cook!Shen Mengan originally opened her mouth to protest, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of gentleness, so an evil smile appeared on her face, thinking that this was a great opportunity to scold her!Hey, can't she cook?Didn't she deliberately make the dishes delicious, delicious, or not for him, to make him hungry?Here's your chance!So I recommended her to be the chef. If the dishes are good, it is his credit. If the dishes are not good, he will be unlucky and she will not be happy!

The more he thought about it, the more complacent he became, his mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears, but Shen Yuan scolded him: "What are you laughing at! Think of candidates! Which restaurant in this capital is good and which one is not good? Don't you know it all too well?"

As soon as Shen Mengan was drunk by him, her smile froze on her face, and she said resentfully: "I know that there is a good cook who currently runs two snack shops and a pastry shop, but I don't know if she will come to cook." After that day, he asked someone to find out Wen Rou's situation, otherwise he would not be able to find her home.

"Snack shop? Pastry shop?" Shen Yuan said angrily, "Are you kidding me? Are you here to make pastries?"

"I've seen her cook, and her skills are good!" But she didn't taste it, Shen Mengan didn't dare to boast, she just said: "But she is a woman..."

Hearing this, Lu Ce glanced at Shen Mengan, twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing, but Shen Mengyi said in surprise, "Woman? Didn't it happen that the surname is Wen?"

"That's right!" Shen Mengan nodded, took a piece of cheesecake from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice and said, "It tastes weird."

Shen Mengyi didn't know that Rourou ran into Shen Mengan yesterday, and was wondering how the second brother knew Wenrou, so she heard Shen Yuan ask her: "Do you know?"

"She was the one who taught me how to make pastries." Shen Mengyi nodded.

"Then please come and try to make two dishes in the next post." Shen Yuan tasted the cakes made by Wen Rou, and they tasted really good, so she said to Shen Meng'an: "I'll leave this to you."

"Me?" Shen Meng'an gasped, and said, "Can't I let my little sister do it?" If he went to ask for it, and ordered to be doused with cold water, then the girl would be very angry!

Shen Yuan glanced at him, obviously asking why he didn't go.

Shen Mengyi swallowed the cake, and found an excuse: "Well, if a man and a woman can't kiss each other, it's not good for me to invite you..."

"Now you know whether a man and a woman can kiss or not? If you knew, how would you know someone?" Shen Yuan didn't know why, and wanted to yell at his son when he heard what the son said, "Besides, I didn't ask you to go in person, write a post Let someone send it to you, and that's it!"

"Okay, okay, I understand." Shen Mengan reluctantly agreed, stood up and stretched, and smiled flatteringly at his father: "Do you still want to punish me to kneel down to my ancestors?"

Before Shen Yuan could answer, Shen Mengyi said in surprise: "Second brother, why is this bracelet with you?"
