Daming female local tyrant

When it came to writing to my parents in Jinling to inform them that I had given birth to a child, Shen Wan smiled and said, "Actually, I have also thought about this, should I write to my parents saying that I have given birth to a child?" It’s just that I’m afraid that if I write a letter, my parents will send someone to pick up Jun Pei, or my father has business to return Jun Pei to the Xiao family.”

After Jing Lan heard this, she felt that Shen Wan's worry was not unreasonable, especially since her father was the patriarch of the Shen family. If he found out about this, he would probably do business and send someone to pick up Jun Pei and return it to Xiao Xiao. Home.

After thinking about it, Jing Lan said: "Girl, I think, why don't you just write a letter to your mother and let your mother know. If this matter reaches the Shen family's ears in the future, she can take care of it." One or two, it's better than knowing suddenly and being unprepared. Especially, your second uncle and the others, I'm afraid they will take advantage of this to punish you again. Although I have ordered the people in this house not to tell outsiders that the girl gave birth to a child However, this matter has never been covered with paper, and I am afraid that it will spread to Jinling sooner or later."

Shen Wan nodded as she listened, she thought what Jing Lan said was reasonable, so she took Jing Lan's suggestion, and wrote a book tomorrow, asking Jing Lan to take a young man to Jinling to meet her mother in person Mrs. Yu, tell her mother about the situation of her childbirth here.

Jing Lan complied, saying that she would rent a carriage and go to Jinling tomorrow with her servants, hoping to come back in the evening.

After this matter was settled, the two discussed how to give Jun Pei a full moon wine.

Speaking of it, Jun Pei's birth was a great joy, and a big deal should have been done for her.

But now that Shen Wan is being punished in Suzhou, if she makes a fuss, this matter will soon reach the ears of the Shen family in Jinling and the Xiao family. I am afraid that Jun Pei will marry Shen Wan because of the full moon wine for her. separate.

Therefore, Shen Wan made up her mind to say that for Jun Pei's full moon wine, it is good for the people in the house to have a feast, and they will make up for it later when the situation improves.

Jing Lan sighed after hearing this: "Hey, I just wronged Jun Pei. Her full moon wine should have been extremely lively, but now she can only do it quietly."

Shen Wan was also a little sad, and it took a long time before she said: "Compared to the three of us living together happily, I would rather Jun Pei's full moon wine be served quietly."

Jing Lan answered, "You're right. Making arrangements with great fanfare is for outsiders to see. What does Xiao Junpei know? If she were to choose, she would rather grow up safely by her mother's side than ask for help. What a false name."

The two talked a lot, Jing Lan felt the water in the tub was cold, so she urged Shen Wan to get up, wiped her body with a clean towel, and put on her dress.Then Shen Wan sat in front of the makeup stool, and Jing Lan took a handkerchief to wring her hair dry.Then he combed her hair slowly with an ivory comb, put on some of her favorite orchid-scented hair oil, and combed it as shiny as black satin. A golden step shaker.

Now it's November, and it's getting cold, Shen Wan put on a sapphire blue peony jacket with golden sleeves covered in flowers, and a horse-faced skirt with moon blue algae pattern.

Then apply powder and lipstick in front of the mirror.

When she stood up and faced Jing Lan, Jing Lan felt that she had turned into a gorgeous and stunning beauty again.

Compared with before she gave birth to Jun Pei, Shen Wan showed a lot more mature womanly demeanor, which made her more attractive to Jing Lan.

Especially when she smiled at Jing Lan and asked her what do you think of me like this, Jing Lan's heartbeat instantly lost balance, she tried her best to maintain her usual demeanor, and said, "It's pretty pretty."

Shen Wan laughed out loud, stretched out her hand to support Jing Lan, and said, "Let's go out now and discuss what to eat for the full moon wine we prepared for Jun Pei. Let's have a good time today, and then rest early , you have to go to Jinling tomorrow."

"...Okay." Jing Lan supported her with one hand, walked out gracefully with her, and sat down in the main hall of Xiulou.

Shen Wan has not been out of the bedroom for a full month, sitting in the hall outside at this moment is really refreshing.

Zhao Siniang and the others in the old house knew that Shen Wan was confinement today, and they had long waited for Shen Wan to pack up and come out to congratulate her.

Jing Lan asked the little maid Ji Jiao to go out and spread the word, saying that everyone waiting outside can come in to congratulate Shen Wan.

Qiu Liu and Zhao Siniang came in together and kowtowed to Shen Wan to congratulate her on her daughter and the safety of her mother and daughter.

Shen Wan asked them to get up, and asked Jing Lan directly to reward Qiu Liu and his wife with three taels of silver, and also rewarded Zhao Siniang with a silver hairpin, saying that they had worked hard during her pregnancy and confinement, especially Zhao Siniang.

Qiu Liu and Zhao Siniang thanked her for the reward, but stepped back, Jing Lan asked Zhao Siniang to stay, and she had something to tell her later, so Zhao Siniang stayed and stepped aside to wait.

As for the Yao family who was holding Xiao Junpei, he also received two taels of silver as a reward.

It stands to reason that it has not been a month since she came to the Shen family's old house, and she is not Xiao Junpei's nurse, so Shen Wan rewarded her with two taels of silver, which is a bit much.But Shen Wan thinks that since Yao's arrival, she has done her best to take care of herself and Xiao Junpei.Although she is not Jun Pei's wet nurse, she is the one who takes care of the children, and this relationship is not comparable to ordinary servants. She rewards Yao Shi more heavily. Of course, she hopes that she will be dedicated to her duties in the future and take good care of Xiao Jun Pei. , until Xiao Junpei grows up a bit.

Yao thanked her for the reward, and of course said that she would do her duty faithfully and take Xiao Junpei well.

Then Green Bamboo, Platycodon grandiflora and Bai Ju came in and kowtowed to congratulate Shen Wan, Shen Wan asked Jinglan to reward Green Bamboo with two taels of silver, and the two little maids each with one tael of silver.

The servants Ping An and Ping Fu finally came in and kowtowed to congratulate Shen Wan, and Shen Wan asked Jing Lan to reward them with a tael of silver each.

They received the rewards, Jing Lan asked them to go out and wait, and they will be assigned errands later.

Ping An and Ping Fu agreed, and went out with a smile on their sleeves.

Shen Wan smiled and said to Jing Lan and the others in the room: "Today is the day when I gave birth to the confinement, and it is also the day when my child is full moon. I want to make a full moon wine for her today, and I don't invite outsiders. Just let us have a full moon wine." The people here have a good day together.”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Siniang said: "Since the young lady is serving the full moon wine, we should also buy some Xixinger items to give to the young lady."

But Shen Wan said: "I don't think it's necessary. You managed to save two dollars. Don't spend it on it. I accept your wishes. I asked you to stay because I want each of you to think about two of yourselves." Tell me the dishes you like, and I will ask Jing Lan to write them down, and Zhao Siniang will take the servant Ping An and Ping Fu to buy the dishes and cook them for two tables, so I will make a full moon wine for my child at that time."

After everyone heard what Shen Wan said, everyone mentioned two dishes they liked, Jing Lan took notes, and there were fourteen dishes in total.

Jing Lan ran out again and asked Ping An and Ping Fu who were waiting outside what kind of dishes they liked to eat, and asked them to name two dishes each, and they made up a total of [-] dishes.

Four stir-fried dishes, four stewed dishes, four vegetarian dishes, four stewed dishes, and finally two soups.

As for fruit snacks, these are not included in the dishes.

After counting the dishes that Xiao Junpei's full moon wine will cook, it is time to list the ingredients needed to make these dishes.Jing Lan quickly made a list, took out ten taels of silver, and asked Zhao Siniang to go out with the list and lead Ping An and Ping Fu to buy it together.

Zhao Siniang couldn't read, so she gave the list to Ping An, who could read, and the three of them went out to buy vegetables.

It was only the beginning of Chen Shi, Jing Lan asked them to buy it quickly so that they could make it in time for noon.

With so many dishes, of course, the large kitchen outside and the small kitchen inside must be cooked together.

Taking advantage of the time when Zhao Siniang and others were shopping for vegetables, Jing Lan took a few maids to the kitchen to prepare all the seasonings for cooking, and wash out the dishes and pots to be used.

After they finished the preparations, Zhao Siniang, Ping An and Ping Fu had already bought the vegetables.

Jing Lan arranged some of them to choose vegetables, some to chop vegetables, and some to wash vegetables.

Seven people worked together, although there were a lot of dishes to cook, but because of Jing Lan's proper arrangements, the eighteen dishes were cooked at noon.

Braised pork in brown sauce, cherry meat, loose bacon, tofu with shrimp balls, chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, stewed lamb, shredded five-spice tripe...

There are always two tables set up.

Shen Wan, Jing Lan, Cui Zhu, and Yao Shi who was holding the child were at the same table.

Qiuliu and his wife, maid Jijie and Baiju, servants Ping An and Ping Fu sat at another table.

In the middle, I used a screen to style it. Shen Wan and others were inside, while Qiu Liu, his wife and others were outside.

It was probably because Shen Wan still didn't like the way she was eating wine being watched by Qiu Liu and the others.

But today is a happy day, and as her master, she should have fun with the servants in the house, so she still sits together to eat and laugh.

After eating the full moon wine at noon for more than an hour, everyone was full. Jing Lan helped Shen Wan, who had drunk the wine, go to Xishao bedroom to rest, and then came out to direct Si Niang and others to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Yes, give them half a day off, let them go shopping if they want, and play whatever they want, but they still have to remember to come back for dinner at night.

Cuizhu and the others have long wanted to go shopping in the streets, and they have served Shen Wan on confinement for more than a month, and they have never visited the town.Today they got reward money again, of course they want to go shopping in the street.

However, Jing Lan still asked the young servant Ping An and Ping Fu to accompany them, and told them not to cause trouble outside, to talk less about right and wrong, and not to tell outsiders anything about Jun Pei.

Cuizhu and the others said they knew it, so they went out together.

They went out, and Jing Lan went back to sleep. She was tired after cooking so many dishes today.

When Shen Shen woke up, it was already sunset.

Jing Lan got up, put on her dress and came out, seeing that Cuizhu and others had all returned.

She went to Shen Wan's bedroom again, and saw that she had also gotten up, sitting by the bed and hugging Jun Pei, teasing her.

Jun Pei's full moon is over, her brows and eyes have grown a bit, and she knows how to smile.

Since she was born, except for the first few days when she didn't have enough to eat, Shen Wan's milk was abundant and she could eat again. After a month, she grew like a snow-white meat ball, which was very cute.

Jing Lan also went over to tease Jun Pei, Shen Wan looked at Jing Lan, smiled and said, "Don't go to make vegetables for a while, let's eat the leftovers at noon, go to bed early, tomorrow you I still have to go to Jinling."

"..." She wanted to say, just woke up, and fell asleep again?

But thinking about the meaning of Shen Wan's words, she secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
