not in vain

In a blink of an eye, it is the end of the year.

Kaifeng mansion is not busy recently, even Mr. Gongsun has nothing to do, so Su Qian is naturally free, so she helps the mansion to make some preparations for the New Year.Su Qian was a top student in the history department before coming here, so it's not too difficult to deal with these Song Dynasty customs.

Soon, it will be New Year's Eve.

Most of the yamen servants in Kaifeng Mansion went home, and those who didn't go home also took advantage of the holiday to go out to play, and the remaining one or two also had their own places to go. Except for those who were on duty this day, only Kaifeng was left in the mansion. The seven sons include Mrs. Bao, her personal maid, and Su Qian.The Seven Sons of Kaifeng were afraid that something might happen in the mansion, Mrs. Bao lived in the mansion, but Su Qian had nowhere to go.Su Qian has a good relationship with Mrs. Bao, so she was invited to the New Year's Eve dinner.The New Year's Eve dinner was about the same as Mrs. Bao's birthday, and these people also participated, and there was still no distinction between male and female seats, and everyone gathered together.

New Year's Eve afternoon.

Since all the cooks had gone home, only a few maids of Mrs. Bao were left busy in the kitchen.Su Qian felt embarrassed to eat with everyone in her own capacity, so she kept busy.Su Qian had good cooking skills before coming here, and finally got the chance to show her skills.

People in the Song Dynasty only ate two meals a day, and they ate dinner when the sun went down.Because it was the New Year's Eve dinner, the government government spent another time, making nine dishes and one soup, and made up a whole number.Everyone was busy from the beginning of time, and it was finally finished at the second quarter of Shenshi, and there was only one soup left.Su Qian asked the maids to rest first, leaving only herself to cook the last dish.

Soup is mushroom soup.Su Qian broke the eggs, and after the water boiled, slowly poured the egg liquid down the side of the pot, letting it bloom egg flowers in the water.Cut the mushrooms into small cubes and let it roll in the pot.Finally, sprinkle some minced green onion and put a few spoonfuls of salt, and the soup is complete.

Su Qian put the freshly cooked soup on the table, looked left and right, but did not see Zhan Zhao.

"Sir, where is Mr. Zhan?" Su Qian asked Gongsun Ce.

"Oh, a servant came back just now and said that a family in the suburbs met an enemy's revenge and stole his family's ancestral treasure. Their skills are not bad. They are no match for them, so they can only delay. Please Master Zhan to help."

"Then when will he come back?"

"He won't be coming back for the New Year's Eve dinner, so let's save some for him. It will take some time to come back from the suburbs, and he will be back before about [-] o'clock." Gongsun Ce said.

"Thank you, sir..." Knowing that Zhan Zhao would not come back for the New Year's Eve dinner, Su Qian was a little distraught, and turned around to help arrange the food.

"Why did the girl order so much food? Zhan Weiwei couldn't eat it alone." Mr. Bao asked puzzled.

"Adults, let's eat first, I want to wait for him to come back to eat." Su Qian smiled.

"Why is that? Miss, let's eat with us." Master Bao persuaded.

"I..." Su Qian didn't know what to say when Mr. Gongsun spoke suddenly.

"My lord, Zhan Weiwei is unable to eat the New Year's Eve dinner in time because of business, so it's good to have someone to accompany her."

Mr. Gongsun was confused before, but at this moment he suddenly became enlightened, and he somewhat discovered Su Qian's little thoughts.Why doesn't he want Zhan Huwei to get married as soon as possible?Of course I want to help her.

Mr. Bao also has a wife, and he wanted to say something else, but when he saw Mr. Gongsun sneaking over Su Qian's gaze while Su Qian was not paying attention, he immediately understood.

"Then you will wrong the girl." Master Bao changed his words.Su Qian couldn't think of this, and thought it was Mr. Bao who was persuaded by Mr. Gongsun.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Zhan Zhao finally came back from the suburbs, so he first went to report to Mr. Bao.

After briefly talking about the criminal's whereabouts, Zhan Zhao felt a little hungry, so he went to the kitchen to have a late dinner.

The lights were on in the kitchen.Zhan Zhao was slightly puzzled, walked into the kitchen and found Su Qian sitting in the room.

"Miss Su?" Zhan Zhao was slightly surprised.

"You're back, let's eat." Su Qian said, and took out the warm meal.

"Why so much? Zhan can't finish it." Zhan Zhao said.

"And mine." Su smiled slightly.

"Miss hasn't eaten yet?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I...I want to wait for you to eat together." Su Qian said softly.

Zhan Zhao was surprised.On New Year's Eve, even if you can't reunite with your family, who wouldn't want to have a lively New Year's Eve dinner, but Su Qian would rather eat with herself, and then get in touch with the previous things, it's hard to say that she has no feelings for herself ...

"Master Zhan." Su Qian called softly, bringing Zhan Zhao back to reality, "If you don't eat it, it will be cold."

Zhan Zhao forced a smile, held up his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, but his mind was still extremely chaotic.
