[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

Liu Mei knew that her mother had good intentions, but she was always a little bit unwilling.

It's rare for Shiqing to come back to the Grand View Garden, and she can't even meet him.

But to be honest, whenever she thinks that Shiqing is not far away, Liu Mei can't help lowering her eyebrows, with a suspicious blush on her face.If she looks like this, if she goes to see Shiqing, and in front of so many people in Jia's house, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.

Mother Liu then asked, "Mei'er, why don't you change your shoes and socks soon?"

Liu Mei looked at the stove fire, and it took him a long time to come to his senses, "Ah? Mother, what did you say?"

Mother Liu felt that something was wrong, sighed, and said: "Mother knows that you want to make soft cakes for that distinguished guest. Mother can also make this cake. I will definitely make it soft, soft, fragrant and sweet for you. How are you?"

Liu Mei nodded, smiling dimples unavoidably, but she turned her face away after a while, but she stopped smiling, lost her mind, rested her chin in thought, her eyes were a little dazed, obviously thinking of something else.

And shoes and socks were not in her consideration at all.

Mother Liu came from here, seeing her daughter like this, she naturally understood, she couldn't help but shook her head and sighed at this moment, thinking: the girl is not allowed to stay, it seems that when Father Liu comes back, she must Let's discuss these things carefully.

Shortly thereafter, the small kitchen of Daguanyuan presented another homemade dessert—soft cake, served with high-quality white tea, which was sweet, soft and glutinous, and had an excellent taste.The Prince Zhongshun, who has always been picky, couldn't help nodding his head in approval, which was beyond the expectations of many people.

However, what was even more unexpected was Prince Zhongshun's trip itself.

Jia's mansion usually makes friends with each other, and the nobles are no more than the four kings and eight princes.But Zhongshun Prince Shiqing, as a member of the royal family, unexpectedly visited Rongguo Mansion without any warning, and ordered to enjoy the snow in Rongguo Mansion's family-friendly villa originally built for Concubine Jia.

Immediately there was an uproar in Beijing—some people thought that the Jia family was lucky enough to embrace the thick legs of Prince Zhongshun; An old friend of Wangshan.

After these rumors had been disturbing for a while, the truth surfaced: it was said that His Royal Highness, Prince Zhongshun, visited the Rongguo Mansion that day by no means for any official business, nor did he intend to make friends with the Jia Mansion. The chef in the mansion made good dishes, so as soon as he thought of it, he went there admiringly. He didn't give up until he got his wish and ate the dishes he wanted, and then he gave up and went back to the house.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone felt that it was very in line with Prince Zhongshun Shiqing's temperament, and they all thought this guess was very reliable.

At the same time, rumors spread from Mingyuan, saying that His Royal Highness had taken a fancy to a young cook brother, and even had a close relationship with others in public.I heard that this person looks as handsome as a woman, and her cooking skills are astonishingly good, no wonder His Royal Highness is heartbroken.However, this little chef, according to private rumors, is not working in any restaurant in Beijing, but is actually the private chef of Rongguo Mansion——

So His Royal Highness didn't go to make friends with the Rong Mansion, he clearly took the opportunity to visit the person on his heart.It's really embarrassing for him to beg for someone from the Rong Mansion without opening his mouth, because once he asks, the Rong Mansion will definitely refuse to give it.

As soon as this news came out, it was firmly denied by the Rong Mansion - because the person who cooked the dishes and snacks for His Royal Highness that day was a woman in charge who had children under her knees.

But after this incident, the Rongguo Mansion was crowded with many visitors.Even people who are very close to each other, such as Beijing Dowager, Nan'an Dowager, etc., when they arrived at Jia's mansion, they asked to try the dishes that Prince Zhongshun had tasted that day.

Mother Liu was puzzled—I really didn't understand why those female family members came to visit, why they always asked the small kitchen to make rouge rice porridge, pheasant and melon rice porridge, soy double winter and soft fragrant cake.The little kitchen now has plenty of time to cook with the best ingredients, without any fuss, and she has a lot of flair to show for it.

But people are obsessed with the few dishes His Highness personally tasted, and even many restaurants took advantage of the opportunity to launch imitation porridge, two dishes and one cake to attract business, which became very popular in Beijing for a while.

This is a later story--

What Liu Mei thinks about now is something else.

After the Prince Zhongshun left, the Grand View Garden gradually returned to normal.The servants who rarely entered the garden retreated out one after another with the regret of not being able to see the beautiful maidservant they liked after enjoying the snow scene.

Liu Mei changed her shoes and socks in the room where her mother usually lived next to the small kitchen, and then rubbed her feet vigorously to invigorate the blood.

Mother Liu was not at ease, and while cooking dinner, she boiled a pot of thick ginger soup on the stove, forced Liu Mei to drink a bowl, and poured the rest into a porcelain pot for Liu Mei, and ordered her to drink it. Take it back to Yihong Courtyard, and drink it after warming it up at night.

The next thing is to say hello to Ping'er and explain the matter of the shrimp beard bracelet clearly.

So Liu Mei found an excuse, went out from the back door of the Grand View Garden, turned a corner, and went to Sister Feng's yard.Before entering the door, I saw Feng'er wrapped in a big jacket, holding a hand stove in her arms, sitting on the threshold outside Sister Feng's house.

Feng'er and Liu Mei are also very familiar, when she saw Liu Mei coming, she pouted quickly and signaled Liu Mei to go to the east room.

"I'm here to find sister Ping'er, I have something to tell her." Liu Mei whispered to Feng'er.She knew that it was inconvenient for Sister Feng at the moment, and she was afraid that even Ping'er would be inconvenient too.

Feng'er nodded and said, "Understood. When Sister Ping'er is free, I will tell her that she will look for you."

At this moment, the curtain of Sister Feng's main room in the west moved, and Liu Mei could hear laughter, but Jia Lian's voice was mixed in it.It was Ping'er who came out and asked Feng'er to take in the hot water that was standing on the tea stove in the east room.Seeing Liu Mei, Ping'er smiled and said: "I knew you were coming, that's all, you wait for me in the east room for a while, and I'll come right away."

Liu Mei felt a little embarrassed when she heard that laughter.Fortunately, when she came here in this cold weather, her face was already red. Speaking of which, why did she always encounter such glamorous things?

Thinking about it again, it turns out that Sister Feng's month is getting older, and the fetal phase has already been settled at this time. Even if there is any intimacy with Jia Lian, as long as it is not too violent, it will not be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Liu Mei began to feel that the current relationship between Sister Feng and Jia Lian had finally returned to the state of newly married and passionate love, and even such a good thing such as sweetening the oil in the honey could not wait until night.

In the final analysis, the fate of Sister Feng in the original book is almost closely connected with the relationship between her and Jia Lian. After all, Sister Feng's sentence, "One obedience, two orders, three people are dead", is actually Jia Lian's attitude towards Sister Feng. .

Speaking of which, Sister Feng is now one-handed with finances and one-handed with emotions. She conceived Jia Lian and endured Jia Lian's derailment.Now I hear that Sister Feng and Jia Lian's love life is very "harmonious", so it should be gratifying and congratulatory.

But Liu Mei just felt that there was no way she could be happy for Sister Feng—she was thinking secretly, if there really was a second chance, Sister Feng should have the chance to choose another man, one time at a time. What's the deal with Jia Lian, a scumbag?

Just as she was thinking, Ping'er had come to look for her.

"My eyebrow is for that shrimp whisker bracelet?"

Liu Mei nodded.

She had already taken the shrimp whisker bracelet out of the fresh-keeping space, and now she handed it to Ping'er, and explained in a few words, only that someone else stuffed it in her room, and after she found out, naturally it should be returned to the original owner.She hoped that Ping'er would continue to trust her because she had always worked hard and had no distracting thoughts.

Seeing Liu Mei's sincerity, Ping'er couldn't help laughing.

"I saw it when I was in Yihong Courtyard today. Those two are obviously here to trouble you."

Liu Mei thinks about it too.

However, although she and Si'er are not very close, it is true that she is not completely sure that Si'er has a problem.

Seeing Ping'er's gentle smile, Liu Mei told the truth, telling Ping'er that Si'er might have a problem, or it might be an accidental injury.

"They didn't find this bracelet in your house this time, and they will come into your house to look for it in the future." Ping'er smiled, "If you trust me, then leave this matter to me."

Liu Mei nodded quickly, since she hoped that Ping'er could trust her, she should give the same level of trust.

"Okay, listen to me. Tomorrow you get up early and go out to do some errands in the small kitchen. Remember not to lock the door, just keep it covered. I'll arrange other things!"

Ping'er said with confidence.

"Thank you, Sister Ping!" Now Liu Mei felt relieved, "However, I hope that Sister Qingwen in our courtyard will not know about the matter of Zhui'er."

She remembered that it was written in the original book that originally Pinger wanted to hide the matter of the shrimp beard bracelet from Qingwen, but later she taught Baoyu to hear about it, told Qingwen, and taught Qingwen to have a violent attack. , Offended Zhui'er's mother and others indirectly.In the end, Qingwen's fate was miserable, not because she had offended the servants of Jia's house severely.

Liu Mei didn't deliberately want to pull Qingwen out of the fire pit, she herself was still trapped in this muddy quagmire.

It's just that Liu Mei has always been like this - a little bit of being kind to others, just a little bit!

"It's best not to let our second master Bao know that second master Bao is not a person who can hide things." Liu Mei thought about the things in the book, and couldn't help but add another sentence to Ping'er.

Ping'er agreed, appreciating her in his heart, and watched her leave.

However, Liu Mei was still on her way back to the Grand View Garden when her system went online suddenly.

The system has now become the master of the Three Treasures Palace, and this time it goes online to settle for her the Red Mansion dishes she completed before.Of course, today's rouge rice porridge and pheasant melon are also Red Mansion dishes, and they will be included in her settlement when the system settles.

In addition to the various delicacies she cooked and ate during the nearly two months that the system was absent, the system settled a lot of system gold coins for her, and also presented her with a reward kitchen utensil——Egg Beater The machine comes with a permanent drive, and the output power is astonishingly large. Like the stewed egg that Lianhuaer made last time, it can be finished in just a dozen seconds.

Liu Mei imagined the various functions of this egg beater out of thin air, and then counted the system gold coins she currently owns, almost wanting to laugh out loud——

This time she developed wow!

"Sorry, just to remind you, your upgrade path is uncertain now, so even if you have saved enough system gold coins, you cannot upgrade for the time being."

The system poured cold water on her head in consciousness.

Liu Mei suddenly woke up a little - she could already detect the subtle changes in the system, and in her eyes, her portable system has become more and more like a "person"; but now it seems that the basic "character" of the system is still not there. However, it is still the same system that never hides anything from her and always goes straight to the point.

"In addition, I want to remind you that what you did out of good intentions today will not change Qingwen's fate of 'Shouyao's life due to slander'. Character determines fate. If you help her once today, she will be the same tomorrow You will be offended elsewhere. 'The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change' is what you humans use to describe this phenomenon."

Liu Mei raised his forehead: Brother System, can you not be so straightforward?She understands that she understands that she is helpless, okay?

"However, I understand your thoughts - it's better than doing nothing!" Suddenly, the system expressed understanding of Liu Mei's brain circuit.

"Thank you for understanding!" Liu Mei hurriedly nodded her praise - it's rare that the system didn't just mock her.Although she herself is also mentally prepared: she never thought that she had much ability to change the world of the Red Chamber too much, and now she can only stare at those few people who are crucial to her.

But it is much better to have such a "person" who can understand and understand all this than she alone.

"By the way, I heard that Sister Feng has undergone many changes—" Liu Mei wanted to ask, but hesitated a little, for fear of hearing a depressing answer. "Will those changes also be repaired by the world one by one?"

"So, you mean that she already has a son?" the system asked back.

Liu Mei didn't know that Sister Feng was sure to be a boy in her womb, so she was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.

"These changes happen as soon as they happen, and there will be no more variables...at least there will be no variables now." The system replied.

Really?

If this is true, Liu Mei is also happy for Sister Feng.

"That's right—all of this, the right to the son, the property, and the head of the family...is the content of her quest line, at least before she gives up the entire quest line, the tasks that have been completed will not be recognized by this world." It's been repaired."

After Liu Mei heard this, she was naturally surprised, and thought in her heart: Is there still such an operation?
