Red apricots make spring

Chapter 126
Shen Yuan waited for those two colleagues to praise enough for their gentleness, then took the words and said with a smile: "I have an unfeeling request, I hope that Miss Wen will come to the house next month to fix a feast of wine, but the dishes are more delicate than this time I wonder if the girl is willing to work hard again?"

Have another drink?To be honest, Wenrou was very reluctant in her heart, and was thinking about how to shirk, but heard a person say "ah": "I remember that the fifteenth day of next month is the birthday of the Ninth Prince, Mr. Shen is going to treat the Ninth Prince to a banquet, right?" ?”

"Exactly." Shen Yuan said with a smile: "The old man has been worrying about not being able to find a good cook. It's no coincidence that I heard that Miss Wen's cooking skills are good, so I took the liberty to invite you here to have a try. She is indeed outstanding. I hope the girl will not shirk." what!"

Nine princes?Gentle frowned slightly, and then thought of Shen Yuan's current identity, somehow, an unexpected expectation jumped out of her heart, if——

She pondered for a while and raised her eyes with a smile: "It's rare for an adult to be so favored that he can see the poor cooking skills of a miner. If a miner wants to shirk, she will be too ungrateful."

Who wouldn't say polite words?When words such as "uplifting" were spoken, Gentle's waist was still straightened, and she did not evade her gaze at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was a little surprised by her neither humble nor overbearing attitude, but when she heard her answer, she stroked her mustache and nodded with a smile, saying: "You go back first and think about the food, then the old man will send someone to pick you up." Then he said to the servants on the left and right: "Come on, reward Miss Wen with 50 taels of silver, and then send a car to take her back."

On the way back, in the carriage, Xiaohuan seldom complained softly and said softly: "Sister, why did you agree? Although Mr. Shen is a prime minister with power and power, but we behave ourselves, why bother to accommodate him? If you don't want to At that time, can he still press the bull's head to drink water?"

"Little thing with no conscience!" Rourou stretched out her index finger, pressed heavily on Xiaohuan's forehead, and said with a soft smile, "Who do you think I am for? Not for you!"

"Me?" Xiaohuan asked suspiciously, "What does it have to do with my banquet with Mr. Shen?"

"He wants to invite the Ninth Prince." Rourou frowned slightly: "Even if he doesn't invite the Ninth Prince, I will accept this matter. Then I will do my best to clean up the banquet. If I can satisfy him, I will I want to find an opportunity to see if I can ask for an amnesty for your mother."

"Sister—" Hearing Ruan Rou mentioned her mother, Xiao Huan immediately became agitated, held her hand tightly and said, "Can this matter be done..."

"It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen." Ye Yu interjected.

Gentle nodded and smiled: "Now you ask me if the matter can be accomplished, I don't know, I just think that what your mother committed is difficult to save in our eyes, but in the eyes of those high-ranking officials and princes, it is just a trivial matter , as long as they are willing, they can solve it with their mouths, but it is not easy to ask them to be willing."

As she said that, she looked out of the car window and sighed in a low voice: "Where in this world is the prince who breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people? As long as there is a relationship and connections, criminals can get away with it. Your mother is just trying to murder a A person who should be damned, at least in our eyes, what she did is justifiable..."

"Yeah!" Xiaohuan felt depressed, "I don't know how she's been doing recently."

Gently patted her on the back and said: "Okay, I said this to you, not to make you sad, and the matter has not been written yet, so don't get too excited, in case someone refuses to Thank you, we are disappointed."

Hearing this, Xiaohuan forced a smile and said, "You taught me that things have to be on the bright side. No matter how bad it is, you can still get a tip of 50 taels. It's not too bad, isn't it?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Yu and Ruan couldn't help laughing, but it was inconvenient to talk in the carriage after all, so they stopped talking and stopped discussing this matter.

Early the next morning, Rourou was planning to go to the shop to take care of some things, and then came back to think about the dishes that must be prepared for the banquet. Unexpectedly, the Shen residence had already sent someone to send her a list, which listed all the nine princes' preferences The food he eats and the food he hates to eat, he also specifically pointed out that he especially likes dishes with thick flavors and sauces, but he doesn't like to add more seasonings to the dishes, it is full, and he wrote more than ten pages.

Gentlely rubbing his temples with a headache, this royal child is too particular, but it's just a feast, is it worth such trouble?But that being said, she had to memorize these things by heart. It was related to whether the Ninth Prince could enjoy the meal, and whether Mrs. Liu had any hope of receiving an amnesty.

Xiaohuan left the room after washing up, saw Rourou sitting in a chair, frowning at the stack of papers in her hand, she couldn't help but poked her head out of curiosity, and stuck out her tongue, "Why is this Ninth Prince so picky about food? He likes mushrooms , do not eat celery, do not eat coriander, do not eat all kinds of beans..."

"Yeah." Rourou sighed helplessly, put the stack of papers into her sleeve pocket, and prepared to read it several times a day until it was written down.

No matter how slowly the days pass, they will eventually pass by, and soon it will be the seventh day of next month, Ye Yu's birthday.During this period of time, I don't know if Shen Mengan was restrained by Shen Yuan. In short, she never showed up. She only sent someone to deliver a letter with three big characters on it, "You are cruel", and Wen Wen just threw it away after reading it. Went to the side, still humming Brother Xiaochun's song "You're Ruthless", in a good mood, so decided to hold a birthday party for Ye Yu on the seventh day of the lunar new year, close the door, and have fun with the family .

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Xiaohuan woke up early in the morning and was laughing. Gentle asked her why she was laughing, and she said, "Our birthdays are very interesting. My sister is on the sixth day of June, and Brother Ye is on the seventh day of July. I am on the tenth day of October, only Wen Gang's birthday is different, it is the eighth day of March. Look, isn't it a coincidence?"

Rourou has never paid attention to these things. Hearing what she said, and thinking about it again, she couldn't help laughing. There is a Wu proverb that, on June [-]th, dogs take a bath.She had read a popular novel from the period of the Republic of China, and there was a joke in it about Tang Bohu making fun of people by using the proverb "June [-]th".As for the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, it is the Qiqiao Festival, and the fourteenth day of the seventh month, the day when the Shen family will entertain the nine princes, is also a traditional ghost festival. Although her birthday is on the lunar calendar, the word "eighth day of the third month" still made her think about it for a while, and she had the urge to laugh, but because Xiaohuan was by her side, she was afraid that she would ask herself what was so funny, so she kept trying to hold it back. , almost didn't hold back the internal injury.

After Ye Yu's birthday was over, the Shen residence sent a carriage to pick her up on the tenth day of the lunar new year. They said that in the past two days, she was asked to cook the dishes prepared for the banquet first, and let Prime Minister Shen taste it. Is it suitable? Furthermore, if there are any hard-to-find ingredients, you can inform the prime minister as early as possible, and he will send someone to search for them.

Rourou was very reluctant, but she didn't want to mess things up, so she hesitated for a while, and took Xiaohuan to Shen's residence again.I just don't know if Prime Minister Shen already knew about Shen Mengan pestering her, and he was under strict supervision. During those two days in Shen's residence, she was bored in the kitchen and immersed herself in cooking. Shen Mengan never came out to make trouble, but only sent people from time to time. Going to the kitchen to pass on a message that he wants to eat this one and that one later, he sends the servants of the Shen family around, and Wen Rou just looks on coldly, secretly laughing.
