Liu Qilan smiled slightly and said, "The eldest brother is injured, and the younger sister naturally has to be dedicated." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Liu Qiran and her mother both fell, which made her suddenly realize that she was isolated and helpless.

She is already intelligent, but her father is mediocre and her mother is incompetent.

In terms of learning, she lacks mentors and friends, so she can only rely on her own intuition and interests. The sudden accident made her suddenly have an epiphany, and she spent her time studying this woman's way of survival.

After this research, she broke out in a cold sweat.

It turns out that the female celebrities, cooking, and housekeeping that she looks down on the most, are the way for women to settle down. Poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can make a woman win a talent and seek a better marriage. The way of Confucius and Mencius that she is obsessed with is the least important.

Such a reality made her have to raise her head from the books and re-look at every grass and tree, her parents and relatives, and every slave and maid in this house.

In just half a month, she came to a conclusion: if she wants to live a stable life in this life, the only way is to marry a reliable man and hold on to him tightly.

For this reason, Liu Qilan devoted herself to the study of female celebrity and cooking, and shocked the embroiderers and cooks in the house with her learning speed of thousands of miles a day.

Hearing Liu Qiran's question, Liu Qilan smiled lightly and said, "If the eldest brother thinks it tastes good, the sister can make it every day." ”

Smelling the tempting aroma of the food, Liu Qiran couldn't help but move his index finger and said with a smile: "Then I have to taste it." ”

Liu Qilan nodded confidently and said, "Please judge the eldest brother." ”

The little servant helped him to the table and sat down, Liu Qiran closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the rice fragrance emitted by the stem rice porridge, and praised: "This porridge doesn't look special, it smells very good." ”

As one of the few gentlemen in the capital, Liu Qiran also has some experience in food. From the palace banquet to the street stalls, he has tasted countless delicacies, and the ingredients used in them can be distinguished from the fragrance alone.

But the porridge in front of him made him a little confused, and asked, "What ingredients are used in this?"

"Nothing special. It's just that the stem rice is washed three times with the clear spring water of the mountain, and soaked for three hours between each washing. Then add the powder made from wolfberry, ginseng, yellow essence, umbrella mushroom, etc., and boil together. In this way, it can not only bring out the best taste of the stem rice, but also obtain the nourishment of medicinal herbs and taste the umami of the food. ”

Liu Qilan explained the method of boiling porridge in detail, which made Liu Qiran speechless.

He had seen many ways to cook it, and there were many more complicated than this porridge. But it was the first time he had heard of cooking a big dish, and so much thought was spent on a home-cooked porridge.

After listening to her introduction, the gluttonous worm in my heart couldn't wait for a moment. Pick up the silver spoon and scoop a spoonful of porridge into your mouth and savor it.

Seeing him taste it, Liu Qilan was not worried, she had tried this porridge many times, and it had reached the best state in terms of taste, nourishment, color, etc.

Sure enough, after Liu Qiran tasted this spoonful, his eyes let out a fine light, and he swept away the remaining porridge like a wind and clouds. At the end, he smacked his lips and asked, "Is this just the bowl?"

Liu Qilan chuckled and said, "Big brother, you might as well taste two side dishes, the food is expensive and not too much." ”

Liu Qiran stretched out his chopsticks to the duck breast, tasted the red oil mixed with yuba, and nodded again and again. I didn't even have the time to speak, so I ate and wiped it clean in one go.

Rinsing his mouth with the tea presented by the servant, Liu Qiran smiled and said, "With such a delicacy, does the girl ask me?"

I saw Liu Qilan get up, salute him cautiously, and said, "The eldest brother is not bad, the sister is just asking for something." ”

She was so cautious, Liu Qiran waved her hand, and went down according to the little servants in the room, and then said, "Sister can speak." ”

In that case, the girl said it directly. Liu Qilan took a deep breath and said her thoughtful decision these days: "I ask my eldest brother to help me give me a list of men of school age in the capital today, the more detailed the better." ”

"What?" Liu Qiran was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall. He, a girl, has always been dustless with his eyes above the top, and he never expected such a thing to come out of her mouth.

Seeing him so stunned, Liu Qilan pursed her lips and smiled, "Women always have to get married." Big brother, do you only say to help or not?"

Liu Qiran nodded and said, "Okay, it's not a difficult thing, I'll give it to you in two days." ”

The magnates in Beijing, Liu Qiran is very familiar with it, and he only needs to tidy it up a little.

"Not only the children of the powerful, but also the sons of the poor and the civilian generals, as long as they are of the right age, have not started a family, and have not taken concubines. Liu Qilan added.

It's not hard, it just takes a little more time. Liu Qiran nodded in response, then changed his mind and said with a smile: "I will help you so much if I eat my sister's meal, will my sister also have to make up for it?"

Since she realized that her eldest brother was the backer of her own mother's family, Liu Qilan was naturally willing to have a good relationship with him and make up for the rift between the brother and sister before. immediately said: "Big brother, please say, as long as the sister can do it, she will do her best." ”

"It's not a difficult thing, your next post, invite the two young ladies of the Tu family to come to the house to enjoy the flowers. ”

"Oh......" Liu Qilan stretched out her voice and said meaningfully: "I understand what the eldest brother means, the peony at home is blooming just right, and it is the season to enjoy the flowers." ”

With Liu Qiran's cheekiness, he turned red rarely, and said: "Yes, yes, that's what it means." ”

Liu Qilan smiled, got up, and said, "Please rest assured, eldest brother, sister will go to the next post." ”

……

Tu family, Wen Han in the center.

The door of Tu Manzhen's room was closed, and Shui Lan sat on the small table at the door in a daze.

Not far away, Tu Manfen walked over with a silver screen and said with a smile: "What are you doing with the door closed?"

Shui Lan bit her lip, stood up and said, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, there are embroideries in this room......

Before he finished speaking, Tu Manfen stretched out his hand to block it, and said, "But embroidering a flower on it makes it mysterious." ”

Yinping understood, stepped forward and pushed open the door, and Tu Manfenmai stepped inside.

Tu Manzhen had already heard the voice, but she didn't expect her to come in so quickly, so she hurriedly stuffed a bunch of objects in front of her into the box, turned around and smiled reluctantly: "Why is the eldest sister here?"

Tu Manfen looked her up and down, and said, "You and I have this time?

Her wedding date is set for September, less than four months away, and it is the time to be busy embroidering the dowry. But she loved her sister very much, and as soon as she heard the maid's reply, she immediately put down the work in her hand and came to check.

"Aren't you embroidering?"
