Yangcheng

It's okay to open one or two oysters, but if you open thirty or forty oysters at once, even a person like Tang Jianwei who has been dealing with ingredients all the year round will accidentally cut his hand without wearing any protective gear.

Where did this pot of oysters come from?

She sucked her injured finger quietly.

She didn't prepare such hard-to-peel food at all, okay?

Even if it needs to be prepared, it must be served after the back kitchen is finished. How can there be any reason for the eldest princess and the guests to pry the shell by themselves?

When Tang Jianwei felt something was wrong, his eyes moved to the side face of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was sitting in the crowd, and everyone greeted her every word with a smile, beating around the bush, and complimenting her very technically.

The Eldest Princess is the absolute authority here, even in the Boling Mansion.

Whoever makes her unsatisfactory, or even dares to prick her hand, will not get good results.

Of course Tang Jianwei understood this truth.

This pot of oysters was presumably prepared specially for Tang Jianwei by the princess's messenger.

After trying to understand what the eldest princess was thinking, she also found it a little funny.

The first time Tang Jianwei went to her with carefully prepared food, he went there with the intention of giving everything.

It's just that Princess Da Cang, who is famous for her bad deeds of widening the harem, actually cares about whether the prey is really willing.

At that time, the eldest princess didn't do anything because she saw that Tang Jianwei was holding on.

The eldest princess leaned on the soft armrest covered with animal skins. Today she participated in the elegant gathering and replaced the simple Futou with high bun and cloud temples, decorated with peonies, making her look even more charming.

Therefore, the day long princess naturally disliked me for being ignorant.

Tang Jianwei sighed secretly in his heart:

Now it is self-inflicted to be grinded inch by inch.

Tang Jianwei always had a smile on his face, and the guests no longer regarded her as Boling Jingui, but just as a servant, asking her to pour wine and clean up leftovers.

When Tang Jianwei took the used food plate and was about to leave, the eldest princess said:

"Come back when you're done."

Unable to sneak away, Tang Jianwei, who was called to continue to come back to show his eyes, responded readily:

"nature."

Tang Jianwei's sweet, optimistic and well-behaved appearance made some female officials present couldn't take their eyes off her.

The peerless beauty of the third lady of the Tang family really lived up to her reputation.

Even with a little powder, Tang Sanniang still has a unique pure sweetness, elegance and elegance.

Tang Jianwei didn't notice those admiring eyes with good feelings at all, she brought the heavy food plate back to the back kitchen, and the screen temporarily separated everyone, leaving her a chance to breathe.

Tang Jianwei closed his eyes forcefully, and meditated:

"It's okay to just bear with it. Don't embarrass Ye Niang, don't make people laugh."

After tidying up his crushing mood, Tang Jianwei walked out with a smirk, and suddenly met three or four ladies who should not belong to the back kitchen.

"Hey? Tang Sanniang, it's really you, I thought I made a mistake, why are you here?"

The leading lady held Tang Jianwei's hand and asked with concern.

Tang Jianwei recognized this person, this is the Liu Niang of the Zhang family, and the others behind her, like her, are all friends of her second uncle's daughter, Tang Linglang.

These people are here, Tang Linglang probably won't be far away.

On the most annoying occasions, I meet the most annoying people...

Tang Jianwei smiled and nodded at them, and quickly made an excuse to get away:

"His Royal Highness is still waiting for me. I will come back to chat with my sisters later."

Tang Jianwei patted Zhang Liuniang on the shoulder, and disappeared like a whirlwind.

The other party didn't dare to stop her, and just chirped at her back and said:

"We are waiting for sister."

Tang Jianwei left, and the smirks of the little ladies turned into sneers.

"I thought she was taking refuge in the eldest princess, so how can she get her favor so quickly. It turns out that she is just a cook."

"Look, the eldest princess doesn't give a seat, but just let her wait, isn't she just a servant?"

"Hey, it's so pitiful. The daughter who is used to the stars and the moon is now reduced to a servant who serves others. If it were me, I would have no face to continue living. I would have thrown myself into the lake long ago, so as not to humiliate the lintel..."

Several young ladies came out from the back kitchen while mocking Tang Jianwei.

A little lady in a red dress came hurriedly towards them, looking straight at them as if she had no eyes.

They were chatting heartily, and when the little lady arrived in front of them, they realized that the two of them had directly bumped into each other.

"Ouch!"

Zhang Liuniang was almost knocked into the air, but fortunately she was supported by the people behind her.

Just as she was about to lose her temper, she suddenly remembered where she was. Tang Linglang had told them when she came here that this was the Eldest Princess' spring party, so they should not easily offend anyone.You must know that the person who can attend the eldest princess' gathering may be the heir of a high-ranking official.

Offended rashly, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble.

Even though her bun was knocked crooked, Zhang Liuniang had no choice but to swallow her anger.

The lady in the red dress gave an apologetic salute and left quickly.

When Zhang Liuniang wanted to turn her head to look at this person, she found that her eyes could not be opened.

"Huh? What..."

The fragrance of the powder on the little lady's body is too strong. What kind of smell is it? It's comparable to pepper powder.

The collision just now, the smell that hits the face is too irritating.Zhang Liuniang coughed and sneezed, and her eyes became more and more uncomfortable. She rubbed her hands until she burst into tears and snot from her nose. She looked like she was possessed.

The women behind her had very similar symptoms to her, and they couldn't see them all. They screamed and supported each other, and stumbled out to find someone for help.

Tong Shaoxuan looked back ten steps away, and threw the empty shell of the pepper bomb in his hand into the grass.

Originally, she brought pepper bombs for self-defense, but these people's words were too harsh and offensive, so she couldn't hold back for a while.

Tong Shaoxuan sighed, and said to himself: "I'm still too childish."

When Tang Jianwei came back, he found that the eldest princess was no longer there.

When serving snacks for everyone, I heard that the eldest princess had just left and went to the boat.

Tang Jianwei glanced at the painting boat parked by the lake, feeling a little relieved.

There is also the last dim sum chicken jelly. She will go back to the back kitchen to make it. When all the dishes are finished, she can find a place to sleep.

When Tong Shaoxuan came to the boat, he hesitated whether to go up or not.

Just now the eldest princess's people came to tell her that the eldest princess has an invitation and asked her to go to the painting boat to talk.

Both Changsun An and Tong Shaoxuan were terrified.

"It's over, sister, you are really the chosen one. Among all living beings, the eldest princess caught my eye." Changsun An sighed,

"That's right, my younger sister was born so beautiful, and the eldest princess is a person who looks at her face and acts on her face. Holding gatherings to eat and drink is just superficial, and the real purpose is naturally to find beautiful women. Sister, whether your Tong family can flourish or not depends on you this time." performance."

Tong Shaoxuan's heart was always up and down, but being teased by her made him even more uneasy.

On the way to Huafang, Tong Shaoxuan kept thinking.

What will the eldest princess do?Do you want to keep her by your side as a retainer?

or on the bed...

My mother, it's terrible...

Tong Shaoxuan's face was pale, and he pinched his clothes tightly.

What Changsun An said earlier kept churning in Tong Shaoxuan's mind.

If she agrees, her life will come to an end, and from now on, she can only serve the eldest princess wholeheartedly and fall into the devil's way.

But if they don't agree, their Tong family may suffer disaster.

What kind of character is the eldest princess?Wouldn't it be easy to crush a small family in Su County to death?She didn't even need to do it herself.

Tong Shaoxuan has been in poor health since he was a child, and he has no ambitions. He just wants to live longer.

The fortune teller said that she would not live to be ten years old, and now that she is fifteen, she gave herself more hope. If she could become an official, even if she only had a small idle job, her life would not be in vain.

She has no great ambitions, but she shouldn't be reduced to the eldest princess' plaything.

She hasn't been in love yet, and she still wants to meet someone with one heart, and spend this life hand in hand...

"Young lady."

Tao Wanzhi came out of the boat, stood on the wooden ladder, and invited her to board the boat:

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

"it is good……"

Tong Shaoxuan lifted her skirt and stepped up the wooden ladder, thinking in her heart that the eldest princess is already 40 years old this year, if she can live another 20 years, it will be considered a long life.

But 20 years later, she, Tong Shaoxuan, will be in her prime. By that time, she may still have ten years of freedom.

It's a bit miserable, but at least it can keep Tong's family safe.

When boarding the painting boat, he was disturbed by Changsun An's words, and Tong Shaoxuan, whose thoughts had drifted to 20 years later, told himself that the overall situation was the most important thing.

Including Tong Shaoxuan, there were only three people on the boat.

After Tao Wanzhi picked her up, he stood in the open shed outside the cabin, only the eldest princess and Tong Shaoxuan remained in the middle cabin.

The eldest princess knelt behind the desk, on which stood a wooden board erected, with paper sandwiched behind the wooden board, which looked like a drawing board.

The eldest princess asked Tong Shaoxuan to sit opposite her, and gently rubbed the ink stick in his hand away.

"What's your name?" The eldest princess asked her kindly.

"The girl's surname is Tong's name is Shaoxuan."

"What about the fine print?"

"Xiaozi...A Nian." Tong Shaoxuan asked Xiaozi the first time he saw a stranger coming up.

"Is there a sign?" The ground ink flows into the small square pool along the inclined surface of the inkstone, converging into a thick black pool.

Asking whether the woman in Dacang has a sign is to ask whether the woman is willing to take the imperial examination and enter the official career.

Women in common people's families only have their names and small characters, and they don't take their names.Only women who are willing to be officials will ask their elders to give them or take their own characters, so that it is convenient for their colleagues to call them.

This is the unique ethos of Da Cang. It is said that many women in the previous dynasty did not even have names.

"Minnv's expression is Changsi." Tong Shaoxuan answered truthfully.

The eldest princess took down a pen from the pen mountain, and repeated softly:

"A Nian, Chang Si..."

Normally, only her closest family members and friends would call her small characters and watch characters, but now being remembered by the eldest princess who met for the first time, Tong Shaoxuan couldn't sit still.

The eldest princess was writing something on the paper, but Tong Shaoxuan who was sitting opposite couldn't see it.

After writing several times, Tong Shaoxuan deduced from the movements of her hands that she was not writing, but drawing.

The eldest princess's sinking eyes turned to Tong Shaoxuan's face, and after a quiet glance, she returned to the drawing paper and continued to draw.

She is drawing me.

After reaching this conclusion, Tong Shaoxuan secretly moved his body.

"Are you from Su County, Angzhou?"

"Yes……"

"Mother is Song Qiao?"

"It is indeed my mother's name."

"Does your grandmother live in Su County?"

"Grandmother and grandfather live in Su County, which is close to Su County."

"Zui County, that is also a good place. Is there a Lingxiu Mountain there? The autumn scenery is very beautiful." The movement of drawing in the eldest princess's hands froze for a long while, and she struggled to bring her thoughts back, and continued to ask Tong Shaoxuan ,

"Changsunyin... How is the relationship between your grandmother and your grandfather?"

Tong Shaoxuan finally heard that the eldest princess must have some past affairs with her maternal ancestor's family, so he called her here and kept asking her.

I don't know if this old thing is good or bad, good or bad...

Tong Shaoxuan felt that it was more appropriate to tell the truth:

"Grandmother and grandfather have always been in harmony."

"Really." The eldest princess' eyes dimmed, and her smile was a little forced.

For the next incense stick, the eldest princess didn't say a word, and Tong Shaoxuan sat dryly, like a glow on his back.

Fortunately, after the eldest princess finished painting, she let Tong Shaoxuan go away.

Before leaving, the eldest princess gave the painting to Tong Shaoxuan, crossed her hands under her chin, and asked her:

"Like you?"

Tong Shaoxuan looked at the person in the painting, like her but not like her.

From a stroke to a meal, one can vaguely see the shadow belonging to another person.

Wei Tingxu looked at the elder Sun Ran beside him: "Your elder grandson's family finally attacked our Wei family?

Chang Sun Ran (wiping sweat): "I don't know, I don't know, I don't want..."
