Chapter 42: The Reward of the Heart's Thoughts

"Yan'er closely follows Mrs.'s teachings, today I heard Mrs. say this, Yan'er is to change his mentality in the future, as Mrs. said, everyone's birth can not be chosen, but everyone can choose the path they want to take in the future, compared with some poor people, Yan'er is in the general's mansion, well-fed and warm, has not been assigned to the Snow Willow Courtyard, it is already a blessing in misfortune, so Yan'er should study like Yan'er, carefree every day, sad is also Guo Day, happy is also a day, why not be happy, Mrs. What do you say?" Yan'er smiled relievedly, relieved in her heart, and finally happy, it seems that people really can't hide things in their hearts, and the whole person is like being pressed by a stone, and he can't breathe.

"That's right, Yan'er, it's great that you can figure it out like this, can you still go to the afternoon reward meeting?" Ye Wanqiu tilted his head, and looked at Yan'er with the light of stars in his eyes.

"Go, of course I went, if I didn't go, Huan'er would definitely not give up, and she would drag me to go, you don't know, Huan'er has always treated me as a sister, and I am inseparable every day, if there is a lively and fun place, I won't go, she has to stomp her feet angrily." If she didn't go, Yan'er remembered when she was in a hurry like ants in a hot pot, and even if she covered her mouth, laughter leaked out of her fingers.

"Let me listen, who is saying bad things about me, my ears are very bright, like that clairvoyant, madam, is it that Yan'er is complaining to Madame behind his back."

Hu'er walked in with a food box in her hand, and saw that Mrs. and Yan'er were talking about something, Yan'er was so happy that she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, she also joked happily, after Yan'er was reprimanded by the second lady in the wing room in the morning, she saw that she had been sullen, this time it's good, the happy Yan'er is back, or Mrs. understands Yan'er, and she pulled her back from her sadness at once.

"Yes, I'm complaining to Madame, look at you, Madame is hungry and you don't know, Madame just told me that you are not doing things well, you are not allowed to go to the afternoon reward meeting, Madame also specially asked me to lead your reward back." Yan'er put away her smiling face, opened her eyes wide, and looked at her with a serious look.

"This, is this true? Madame, can't I really go to the reward convention?" Huan'er hurriedly put the food box on the desk in front of Mrs. Wang, looked at Mrs. who was also serious, and stomped her feet lightly in a hurry, her face became red.

"Yan'er, don't tease her anymore, you see she's about to cry, hahaha, Yan'er, the reward conference is missing you, it is estimated that it will not be lively, and this reward conference is focused on rewarding Zhiqiuyuan, you are my personal servant, how can you not go, don't listen to Yan'er's nonsense, prepare to prepare, you and Yan'er go early." Ye Wanqiu looked at Lian'er like a child, who was still there anxiously stomping her feet a second ago, and then she was happy in the next second, and she was even faster than the three-year-old child's face.

"Madame is hungry, so let's have some afternoon snacks." Yan'er opened the food box on the desk, and placed delicate pastries in front of Ye Wanqiu.

"Madam, golden cake, osmanthus cake, jujube paste crisp, donkey rolling, Poria sandwich cake, which lady likes to eat, this pastry is really exquisite, and it makes people very appetizing when they look at it." Huan'er looked at the pastries on the desk, and the pastry chef in the back kitchen specially changed one, which was more colorful, flavorful and flavorful than the previous pastry chef.

"Well, it's really good, this new pastry chef is indeed more skilled, and I don't know if it's because I'm hungry, I feel that today's pastries are particularly delicious." Ye Wanqiu took a piece of golden cake and put it in his mouth, it was soft and glutinous, and he ate a jujube paste crisp, the sweetness of the red dates was crispy, and he took a bite of the osmanthus cake, the osmanthus was full of aroma, but he was not tired of eating.

"If it's delicious, Madame will eat more, and I'll go to the back kitchen later, but I have to praise the new pastry chef, Madame doesn't like to eat pastries very much on weekdays, you see, Madame has eaten so much today." After Ye Wanqiu finished eating, she motioned to Hao'er to clean up the desk, and Yan'er put the leftover pastries from her wife back into the food box, and Yan'er took down the desk and wiped it clean, and then handed the warm cup to her wife.

Ye Wanqiu took a sip of hot water, moistened his throat, and said to Yan'er and Huan'er who were standing, "Okay, the rest of the servants here are taking care of it, Yan'er, you and Yan'er go to the front yard with Manager Guo, by the way, you can go with Xiao Xiazi, there is a good companion on the road, when the reward is not easy to take, Xiao Xiazi can also help you with a hand, this will be full of food and drink, I want to sleep for a while." Ye Wanqiu yawned, waved at them, and motioned for them to hurry up.

"Mrs. Xie, then I'll go with Yu'er, we'll go back as soon as we go, and we won't be delayed for too long." Yan'er saw that Ye Wanqiu was sleepy and wanted to sleep a little, and when she saw her wife lying down, Yan'er covered her wife's quilt and put down the curtains, and then walked out of the bedroom lightly with Yu'er.

"Manager Xia, you are still busy in the back kitchen, why don't you go to the reward conference, if you don't go, the good things have been selected." Hu'er carried the food box and walked to the back kitchen with Yan'er, and saw that Xiao Xiazi was still busy inside and out, so he immediately said jokingly to Xiao Xiazi.

"Oh, Miss Yan'er and Miss Yu'er are here, didn't I just prepare the afternoon pastries for Mrs., I don't have to rest now, there are still a lot of things to do at the family banquet in the evening, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the reward conference, I will ask Wenchen and Bai Mu to bring me back the rewards." Xiao Xiazi hurriedly took the food box in Hu'er's hand and handed it to the slave standing beside him, who took the food box and went to the pool to clean it.

"Manager Xia, it's still early, and there are still some hours before the family banquet in the evening, why don't you go with us, this reward meeting is even more grand than before, don't you really want to join in the fun!" Yan'er looked at Xiao Xiazi, during this time, he also worked hard before and after running, and he was also a person who liked to be lively on weekdays, so if he didn't go, I was afraid that I would regret it if I listened to the rest of the slaves and maids.

"Miss Yan'er, listening to you say this, I'm really a little moved, you know, I also love to join in the fun, if I really don't go, wait for them to come back and talk about it, I will definitely regret not being at the beginning, then in this way, Miss Yan'er and Miss Yan'er wait a while, I will explain to them some things about the family banquet in the evening, and I will come over later." Xiao Xiazi scratched his head embarrassedly, Miss Yan'er knew him too well, he went into the back kitchen, and carefully explained the family banquet to a few cooks, and then walked out with confidence.

"Miss Yan'er, Miss Yan'er, then let's go together, I have explained everything inside, there should be no mistakes, you know, the servants and maids of Zhiqiu Courtyard are all personally selected by Mrs., and they are all very reliable." Xiao Xia Zi said to them happily, and when he remembered the reward meeting of the waiting meeting, he urged slightly, "Miss Yan'er, Miss Yan'er, we have to go quickly, otherwise those good things will be divided again." ”

"Mr. Xia, look at how anxious you look, who said you couldn't go just now, it's really duplicitous, hahahaha." As she walked briskly, she turned her head and quipped to Xiao Xiazi beside her.

"Manager Xia, Mrs. said that today's pastries are extremely delicious, where did you recruit the pastry chef, this cooking skill is really good, and he will be in charge of the afternoon tea pastries in the future, so that Mrs. Zi can also have a great appetite and eat more." Yan'er asked Natsuko.

"This new pastry chef, but it's a long story, this lady has always had a very small appetite, every meal is very small, the general did not give an order to the back kitchen, this lady is not fat during the confinement period on twenty pounds, but you have to ask us, so I went all over the place to find a good cook, this pastry chef or when I went shopping in Yunjin City, I saw a long line in front of his stall, I also lined up, when I tasted the pastries he made, I had already made up my mind, how to recruit him to the general's mansion, Unexpectedly, he heard that he came to the General's Mansion to make pastries, but he was so happy, so I recruited him in. ”

Xiao Xiazi recalled the scene when he went to Chang'an Street and looked for good chefs and pastry chefs everywhere in Yunjin City, and during that time, he was tired and lost weight, but it was okay, he found a few good cooks, and this pastry chef, no, I heard Mrs. say that the pastries made by this pastry chef are good, but they didn't live in vain.

"Oh, I see, you were tired during that time, today's reward meeting, you have to choose a good choice, choose some tonic medicine to replenish your body, you see that you have lost a whole circle." Yan'er looked at Xiao Xiazi, who had become black and thin, this little Xiazi was also a slave loyal to his wife, and it was in vain that Mrs. rescued him from the torture in the front yard to Zhiqiu Courtyard.

The reward meeting of the General's Mansion is not timely, but generally the lady has just married into the door, and the lady has given birth to a child, such a big event, the reward conference will be held, and the reward meeting of the General's Mansion is also more flexible, according to the rank of the slaves and maids, the rewards are arranged one by one, and the slaves and maids choose by themselves, rather than directly distributing the rewards to the slaves and maids.

In this way, everyone can choose their favorite objects, and it will not cause some gossip about who shares the good and who shares, why not, some slaves and maids secretly take the rewarded objects to the pawn shop for silver, although Guo Yan is forbidden on the surface, but he also turns a blind eye to this matter, after all, for some slaves and maids, good-looking objects are not as affordable as silver.

The three of them chatted and chatted, and came to the front yard, the front yard also specially divided an ear room to do the reward meeting place, Yan'er saw that there was a long queue in front of the ear room, saw the sign of the Zhiqiu Courtyard hanging on the pole, hurriedly and Hui'er, Xiao Xiazi stood in front of the queue, the crowd has begun to chatter lively, every reward meeting, is really the happiest moment for these slaves and maids, on weekdays do rough work and heavy work to serve the master's things, the reward conference has good objects, if you don't like it, you can also go to exchange silverSometimes, more money was exchanged than the monthly stipends.
