Red apricots make spring

Chapter 127 Overnight at the Shen Mansion
On July [-]th, Rou Rou had just fallen asleep at home, before it was bright, there was Shen's carriage waiting outside the door, and two housekeepers were standing in the courtyard with their hands down, waiting for her to come out.

"It's so annoying, don't you even let people sleep peacefully?" When Mother Wen came in to wake up Wenrou, Xiaohuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered to get up and put on her clothes.

"Don't say that, it's rare for Prime Minister Shen to appreciate Rou'er's cooking skills. This is an unexpected and wonderful thing. From now on in this capital, I won't be afraid of those ruffian idlers coming to make trouble." Mother Wen laughed He said: "Furthermore, the Shen residence has always sent a carriage to pick you up these two days. When people heard that you were invited to be the chef in the Shen residence, they all praised your cooking skills, and our business has become much more lively."

Rourou raised the forehead with her hands, but she didn't hear anything, she didn't hear anything, and mumbled: "Let me sleep for another half an hour, please." I'm really sleepy!

"Get up, why do you have the nerve to let people wait for a long time?" Mother Wen dragged her with her hands, and helped her pick up a set of emerald green dresses in the suitcase, and said with a smile: "This color is good, and your complexion looks fair when you wear it .”

Gentle pulled her eyes away, glanced at them, and suddenly there were black lines. She didn't like darker colors, even if they could bring out her skin tone, she didn't like this set of emerald green clothes. This set of emerald green clothes was seen by Wen's mother on the street last time and thought it looked good. The green one is very pure, but seeing such a mass of rich and gorgeous green in hot weather, she felt that she must be like a big caterpillar after wearing it, and turned over from the bed immediately. He sat up and said, "I won't wear that, pick up the light bamboo green clothes."

"Girl, why are you wearing such plain clothes?" Mother Wen insisted, "What's wrong with this color? Look at the material, how soft it is, breathable and comfortable..."

Before she finished speaking, Rourou had already got up by herself, picked up the set of light bamboo green clothes and put them on, and turned her head to show mother Wen a comforting smile: "Mother, you can wear this set of emerald green clothes. About the same size as me."

"What's the same? You are thinner and taller than me. Besides, how can I wear this color? Or, Huan'er, you can wear it..." Mother Wen was still chattering, Xiaohuan interrupted her quickly: "Let's hurry up, don't make people wait too long."

One sentence successfully cut off Mama Wen's words, and she muttered: "Hey, I'm so confused, you two, wash up quickly, I'll go to the kitchen and cook chicken for you, and I'll put a few in my bosom later One, eat on the way."

She went out after saying that, Rourou was combing her hair, looking at Xiaohuan in the mirror and smiling.

The Shen Mansion sent someone to pick them up so early because the Ninth Prince likes thick and juicy dishes, and Gentle thought for a long time, adding a few more dishes to the recipes such as roasting, stewing, stewing, steaming, grilling, frying, and roasting It is the characteristic and strives for the authentic Tanjia cuisine.Tanjia cuisine pays attention to slow cooking and requires a long time of cooking and preparation.On the thirteenth, she has to cook the ingredients all day long, and cook several pots of high soup. On the fourteenth, she will probably have to fire several stoves at the same time, such as Buddha jumping over the wall, braised large group of fins, soft-boiled carp, etc. , They all need to be simmered carefully. If you don’t spend enough time to prepare, you won’t be able to catch up.

Shen Yuan even sent a message, telling her and Xiaohuan not to go home tonight, Shen's mansion prepared a guest room for them, and asked them to stay overnight, so that they could cook by themselves when they woke up the next morning without wasting much time On the way.

After arriving at the Shen Mansion, Ruan Wen and Xiaohuan's busy day in the kitchen was just the same as the previous few days. There was nothing to remember, but Ruan Wen secretly laughed while cooking the ingredients. They all look obese, right?I don't know if I have diabetes or high blood pressure. I really don't know how to maintain it.

Before night fell, Mrs. Shen sent someone in advance to ask Wen Ruan what kind of place she would like to live.Officials are so particular, they are actually so tired, as long as there is a place and a bed for her to sleep in, she will not be picky, but kindness is hard to come by, after thinking about it gently, she still said: "Let's live in a quieter place." .” After smelling the oil fume for several days, I need a more elegant environment to wash my greasy soul.

As a result, Mrs. Shen sent two maidservants with lanterns at night to lead them to the Ningbi pavilion by the lake, saying that there could be a scene of misty green waves on the lake early in the morning, and there were many bamboos planted beside the pavilion. There is nothing better than enjoying the cool and cooling off in summer nights, admiring the moon and listening to the wind.

That is to say, it was just that the night was dark and the wind was blowing again, and she followed those two servant girls gently, walking through most of the garden, she always felt more and more creepy as she walked, because there were many trees and flowers in the garden, which was originally It was much darker and colder than other places, and the two dim lanterns were swaying by the wind, so she couldn't help but think of the scene in Liaozhai.Fortunately, when she reached the Ningbi Pavilion, the lights were already brightly lit, which suppressed the fear hidden in her heart.

After entering the Ningbi hall, the two maids who sent them back to return to their orders, the other two maids in the hall greeted them, smiled and reported their names, one was named Ningyan, the other was named Hanbi, and then said to them The water for bathing has been prepared, and they have to wait for them to change their clothes and take a bath.

"This... let's do it ourselves..."

Wenrou is not ignorant, Xiaohuan had also worked as a maid in a wealthy family, but she was really not used to others staring at them undressing and taking a bath, so she sent the two maids to wait outside the gauze curtain before entering to take a bath.Fortunately, the Shen Mansion was not so luxurious that it built a small bathtub in the guest room. There were only two bathtubs filled with hot water in the back room, and there were many flower petals floating on it, exuding a faint fragrance.

In the middle of the two bathtubs is a small mahogany table, and on the small table are two begonia-style glazed cups, which contain powdered bath beans. The bath beans are much more delicate and expensive.After soaking in the bathtub for a while, Wen Rou took some bath beans and rubbed them on her body to cleanse her skin. She felt the fragrance lasted for a long time, and her skin was smooth and shiny after bathing. She sighed secretly that the things used by rich and noble people are really extravagant able to do.

The reception in the Shen residence was really considerate, it was still early after the bath, and after changing into the clothes prepared by the maids, they were invited to enjoy the coolness in the bamboo grove. Frozen fruit.

Gentle and not polite, she lay comfortably on the soft bed, picked up a crispy plum, and "clicked" to bite it down.Seeing this, the two servant girls, Ning Yan and Han Bi, immediately came up to help her beat her legs, she was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands, swallowed the plums in her mouth, and said: "Come on, I dare not work, you two, just now after bathing, you can't do anything." The fatigue has long since disappeared, you should just sit down and eat fruit together, and gossip with us for a while."

At this moment, the moon hangs in the night sky, and the phoenix tails are thick. Sitting here enjoying the cool air, you can still see the lake in the distance, and listen to the maids' whispering gossip. This kind of life is really very interesting.Gently swallowed the last sip of plums, threw the core on the table, thinking about the ancient times for so long, this is the first time to experience such an artistic life, the soul seems to be washed clean.To be honest, the ancients enjoyed it much more than modern people, and this way of relaxing in the courtyard is several times stronger than the noise of feasting and feasting.
