Chapter 79: Bumping into the muzzle
Shen Nian secretly scolded Su Yunmu sincerely, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Do you miss me?" I'm afraid I miss my third brother, right? Rest assured, you will see him today......"
"Really?"
Su Yunmu was immediately ecstatic when he heard this.
Since that day in Wangjiang Tower, after losing to Shen Nianzhen, who was dressed as a man, he has been thinking about finding the person who won him, just inquiring and inquiring, but the news he got was that there were no boys in the third room of the Shen family, and Shen Nianzhen had only one cousin, that is, Shen Yunqi in the second room.
Shen Yunqi has many straw bales, Su Yunmu knows it.
He was unwilling, he had been thinking about sneaking into the Shen family, trying to find the person who won him at close range, and as soon as he heard that Princesses Zhaohua was going to come to the Shen family, he immediately volunteered to come.
"So the person you want to see is the son of the Shen family?" Princess Zhaohua was very disappointed when she heard this.
Shen Nianzhen smiled and said, "Princess, please come into the inner hall and sit, whatever you want to eat today, I will try to meet your requirements." β
Princess Zhaohua had obviously prepared in advance, and as soon as she sat down in the main hall, she unceremoniously reported a few dish names: "Inlaid bean sprouts, fried pufferfish, boiling cabbage, hibiscus meat, Buddha jumping over the wall, drunken river shrimp, just these six dishes, you can do it." β
Oh, my God! Such a delicate and complex dish may not be able to be done well by a first-class chef!
Shen Nianzhen's face suddenly showed embarrassment.
"What? A slap in the face so soon? Didn't you just say that you can cook anything? Princess Zhaohua glanced at her, a hint of contempt on her face.
"Not really." Shen Nianzhen opened his mouth and said: "Other dishes are fine, but puffer fish is poisonous!" Besides, there are no such ingredients in the house......"
"It's easy." Princess Zhaohua interrupted her and snapped her fingers slightly.
The next moment, a maid came in with a tray from outside the door, on which were the two pieces of puffer fish meat that had been processed.
Shen Nianzhen had nothing more to say.
She nodded and said, "Okay, please take a sip of tea first, take a break, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare ......."
"Wait!" Princess Zhaohua called out to her, and said with a smile: "You don't have to go to the kitchen, ask someone to put the stove in the yard, this princess will watch you do it herself, don't want to find someone to replace you!" β
Is this afraid that she will find someone else to replace her?
"Okay." Shen Nianzhen nodded, and ordered to go down and do what the princess explained.
"Princess, do you have any other requests?"
"There's one." Princess Zhaohua looked at her and said with a slow smile: "This palace likes to eat desserts, but I don't like to eat too sweet, I don't like pastries, I don't like sweet porridge, can you make a dessert that satisfies this princess?" β
"I can try this." Shen Nian really thought for a moment and said.
"Good!" Princess Zhaohua smiled proudly.
She looked at Shen Nianzhen and smiled contemptuously, not believing that she could do it at all.
"By the way, you're the only one at home today? Your sisters...... Not at home? Princess Zhaohua coughed lightly and said a little uncomfortably.
This is to ask her if Shen Yunlan is in the house, right?
Shen Nianzhen blinked his eyes, glanced at Zhaohua with a smile, and said with a smile: "Only the fourth sister is at home, I'll go and call her." β
"Forget it." Zhaohua showed a hint of disappointment on his face.
Obviously, she inquired, and the commander of Xiao Shen was at home, so she came......
Here Shen Nianzhen walked out of the main hall, and was immediately called by Mrs. Shen, she asked worriedly: "Nianzhen, why did the princess come to the door?" Is it because of your eldest brother? Grandmother is going to call him back! β
"Grandmother, don't worry."
Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, and said: "If you can't find the eldest brother now, let's talk about it, and besides, the princess came this time, mainly because she wanted to eat the dishes I cooked, as long as she was satisfied, she wouldn't do anything." β
"Really?"
Old Mrs. Shen was still not at ease.
Shen Nianzhen held her hand and said comfortingly: "Grandmother, don't worry, just stay in Chunhui Courtyard and rest!" Just leave it to me. β
"Zhen'er, you've really grown up, and now you can be on your own." Old Lady Shen looked at her and said with relief.
That's nature, and people are subject to change.
She is no longer the innocent little girl in her previous life who didn't understand any intrigues.
Coming out of the Chunhui Courtyard, Shen Nianzhen saw that a pergola had been built in the courtyard of the main hall, and all the things such as pots, tables, tables, and kitchenware had been prepared, so he went to change into neat clothes and began to cook.
"Miss!"
But at this moment, the shouts of Shen San's wife Ding came from behind him.
As soon as Shen Nianzhen turned around, he saw Ding leading Shen Nianzhu from outside the courtyard in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the princess came to the door to find fault, so I hurriedly brought Zhu'er over to take a look, do you think there is anything that can help?" β
"Yes!"
Shen Nianzhen glanced at Ding gratefully when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The princess is sitting alone in the main hall, and she is a little bored, so please ask the third aunt to accompany her, can you?" β
Although Princess Zhaohua has golden branches and jade leaves, she is extremely noble, but the Ding family does not have a fear mentality, if she was afraid, she would have been hiding far away at the moment and would not have come to the door.
Hearing this, he thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay." β
Shen Nianzhen looked at Shen Nianzhu on the side again, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, sister has another task to hand over to you here." β
"You won't tell me to accompany the princess, will you?" Shen Nianzhu asked indifferently.
"No, it's a more important task than accompanying the princess." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, approached Shen Nianzhu's ear and whispered a few words.
Shen Nianzhu looked at her with a strange expression when she heard this, and slowly asked, "If I'm impatient, can I do it?" β
"Absolutely!" Shen Nianzhen smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I agreed." Shen Nianzhu said lightly.
Shen Nianzhen was finally relieved and could cook without distractions.
Looking at the ingredients on the table, she took a deep breath and tied her apron.
In the main hall, Princess Zhaohua looked at Mrs. Shen San who suddenly appeared, she was a little depressed, she was trying to sneak to Shen Yunlan's courtyard to take advantage of no one paying attention to her!
I don't believe he's not at home! Must be secretly hiding from yourself, huh!
Now, I can only sit here.
Compared with her depression, Shen Nianzhen here is busy with her feet not touching the ground, boiling chicken soup, cutting vegetables, and sweating on her forehead without noticing.
Before I knew it, most of the hour had passed, and the faint fragrance began to waft through the courtyard.
Shen Nianzhen's dish has reached the most critical moment, and it is impossible to leave anyone for a moment, but at this time, Princess Zhaohua became a moth.
After a while, she shouted that she was thirsty, and asked Shen Nianzhen to pour tea for her personally.
After a while, she said that her shoulders were sore, and she asked Shen Nianzhen to soften her shoulders by name.
Ding persuaded him to come, but Zhaohua didn't even look at her.
"What, this princess is here in person, can't Miss Shen serve in person?" Princess Zhaohua raised her eyelids, stared at Shen Nianzhen with a pair of big watery eyes, and said sarcastically: "Miss Shen, you say, is it your honor to serve this princess?" β
This is really taking Shen Nianzhen as a maid!
Even Ding, who had a good temper, suddenly changed his face.
The maids and ladies on the side were all stunned.
"Of course, it is my honor to serve the princess." Shen Nianzhen smiled, took off her apron, washed her hands and walked to the porch, and personally massaged Princess Zhaohua's shoulders, with moderate strength: "Is it okay for the princess to see this?" β
"Light."
Princess Zhaohua narrowed her eyes slightly and closed her eyes comfortably.
Shen Nianzhen added a little more force.
Then the next moment, Princess Zhaohua slapped her on the hand: "How did you massage!" Do you want to kill this princess? β
"Princess, let me come."
Ding said sincerely on the side: "Our family Nianzhen has never done this since he was a child, I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy the princess, or let the courtiers come, the courtiers will massage......"
"No!" Zhaohua glared at Ding unceremoniously and said, "What should you do, you don't have to dangle in front of this princess, this princess only lets Shen Nianzhen serve alone!" β
"But she still has to cook for you......"
"Take your time, Princess Ben isn't hungry yet." Zhaohua snorted.
Ding was out of options.
glanced at Shen Nianzhen helplessly.
"It's okay, third aunt, you can help see how the chicken soup is cooking." Shen Nianzhen smiled helplessly at Ding.
"Okay." Ding nodded, and went to the bottom of the gazebo to stare at the chicken soup jar.
Rong Chen entered the back house of the Shen family without being informed, and went to Chunhui Courtyard first, the old lady Shen was very surprised to see him, and was busy asking for peace, but was stopped by him: "Old lady, what about Zhen'er?" Hongu is here to see her today......"
"Nian Zhen is entertaining Princess Zhaohua."
Old Mrs. Shen smiled when she heard this: "In the main hall!" If the Second Highness wants to go, the old body will let people lead you over......"
"Zhaohua is here?" Rong Chen raised two good-looking sword eyebrows.
"Yes, Princess Zhaohua wants to eat the dishes made by Nianzhen herself." Old Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "Zhen'er is entertaining her." β
"Hongu go over and take a look."
Rong Chen said and stood up.
Old Mrs. Shen hurriedly asked Mama Zhou to send him over.
When Rong Chen arrived, what he saw was Shen Nianzhen busy massaging Princess Zhaohua's shoulders, she lowered her head, her long black hair was tied up in a bunch at the back of her head, and the hibiscus peach blossom hairpin that she had worn on her sideburns all year round was gone.
I think it's because I'm afraid that the hairpin will fall, so I specially treasure it.
Rong Chen's face suddenly sank.
Coughing lightly, he walked over with his feet raised.
Princess Zhaohua was struggling with her eyes closed and racking her brains to sneak into Shen Yunlan's courtyard, Leng Buding heard this coughing sound, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Rong Chen, and she was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly pushed Shen Nianzhen away: "Second, second brother, why are you here?!" β
Seeing Rong Chen, who was wearing a azure embroidered ink and bamboo robe, her eyebrows were as picturesque as handsome, and a trace of hatred suddenly appeared in her eyes, which was fleeting.
Her second brother looks and looks like Concubine Qi who favored Kyoto at her peak.
Mother and son are just as ruthless.
"This sentence should be asked by this palace." Rong Chen spoke slowly, his eyes were as black as ink, full of extreme anger: "Who gave you the courage to come here to show off your might, and instruct your fiancΓ©e in this palace to serve you like a slave?" Is it the Queen's Mother? β
The last sentence has a little more sternness.
"It's not! This has nothing to do with my mother! Zhaohua was very scared and weak-hearted, but when he heard this accusation, he immediately became furious: "It was Shen Nianzhen who said that this palace can come to Shen's house to eat the dishes she cooked!" β
"People are polite, are you still serious?" Rong Chen was sarcastic when he heard this.
Zhaohua's face suddenly showed a hint of humiliation.
Shen Nianzhen heard the quarrel, and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Okay, okay, let's say a few words, the princess is here, the Shen family is very honored, Peng Sheng is shining, princess, please sit down." β
Princess Zhaohua glared at her resentfully, and said unceremoniously: "Shen Nianzhen, yesterday in the Su family, what you said to the palace was just kind words?" β
"No, I really want to invite the princess to come to the door." Shen Nianzhen said busily.
"Second brother! What else do you have to say! β
Princess Zhaohua turned her head triumphantly and glared at Rong Chen angrily.
"She promised to cook, but she didn't promise to serve you."
Rong Chen said coldly: "Zhaohua, you'd better remember what the Sakura Palace told you at the Su family yesterday, don't blame the palace for being polite!" β
After speaking, he pulled Shen Nianzhen aside, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads on her face affectionately, and looked at her arm that was slapped red by Zhaohua, and asked softly, "Are you tired?" If you're tired, don't do it. β
"I'm fine, thank you for your kindness."
Shen Nianzhen smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "Cooking can move your muscles and bones, and you can make delicious food, for me, it is not a task, but a beautiful difference." β
It's just that she doesn't want to serve people......
"You like to cook, and this palace didn't say that you wouldn't be allowed to do it." Rong Chen said: "Just make it for your own family, and in the future, irrelevant people will ask you to cook, and they will always ask them to come to the palace!" β
Domineering!
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Shen Nianzhen smiled sweetly when he heard this.
"Let's go." Rong Chen took her hand, walked to the bottom of the pergola, took off his gorgeous robe, changed into a simple riding costume, and asked, "How can I help?" β
"No, you don't! Just go down there and rest! β
Shen Nianzhen was flattered, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Most of the dishes are almost ready." Then he lowered his voice: "It's good for Your Highness to accompany Princess Zhaohua, don't let her make trouble again." β
He looked like he was palpitating.
Rong Chen saw it and was very distressed.
Back at the bottom of the corridor, he glanced at Zhaohua and sneered: "You two brothers and sisters like to take away other people's things, and they like to trample on the dignity of others, are you satisfied?" I don't know if you can eat the ready-made dishes later! β
"The second brother said something wrong!" Zhaohua gritted his teeth: "If I can't eat it, it will be a waste of Miss Shen's mind!" β
"Then you'll have to eat more."
Rong Chen's tone was cold: "Don't come again next time, no one wants to entertain an arrogant guest like you." β
Needless to say, Princess Zhaohua won't come again!
She didn't want to not see Xiao Shen, the big commander, and she had to run into Rong Chen, the big devil! Big Bad!
Thinking that her brother Rong Bing couldn't get out of bed after being beaten by Rong Chen, and was covered with bandages, Princess Zhaohua regretted it, and hated to put on her wings and fly away immediately, far away from Rong Chen.
At this time, she remembered her mother's warning: "Don't approach Rong Chen, and don't approach that Shen Nianzhen, these two people have bad luck in them, and everyone who provokes them will not have a good result." β
Mother! It was me who was wrong!
Zhaohua wailed in his heart.
Here, Shen Nianzhen had already prepared all six dishes, and instructed his subordinates to put them on the pear blossom wood round table in the main hall one by one, go to change clothes and wash, change into gorgeous dresses again, and beckoned Princess Zhaohua and Rong Chen to take a seat.
"Princess, the dishes I cook are not as good as the imperial chef in the palace, and I hope the princess will take care of me more if I am ugly today."
Shen Nianzhen said with a smile.
Zhaohua looked at her with complicated eyes, moved his lips, and pulled out a helpless smile.
"It's already remarkable that Miss Shen can make such a table of dishes."
Although I haven't tasted it yet, the aroma is already mouth-watering.
"By the way, what about Second Prince Su?" Shen Nianzhen looked around and asked suspiciously, "......Did you see him just now?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves in the courtyard.
Everyone turned around in surprise, and saw Su Yunmu walking in from outside with a blue nose and swollen face, the sleeve of the left half of his shoulder was missing, and there were countless gray footprints on his chest and behind him.
"Second son Su, what's wrong with you? How does this look like? Princess Zhaohua asked with a shocked face.
Then he quickly turned his head to look at Rong Chen.
This guy moves fast enough! Su Yunmu had already been beaten like this so quickly! It was so dangerous just now!
Thanks......
"Ahem! Miss Shen! Who the hell is that sister of yours? β
Su Yunmu coughed loudly and said with bared teeth: "I just asked her if she had a younger brother, and she beat me up with her head and face!" I didn't do anything! β
As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers tremblingly, touched his bruised cheeks, and let out a wail.
"Who did you say hit you?" Shen Nianzhen raised his eyebrows.
Su Yunmu quickly stretched out his finger and pointed behind him: "She! β
Shen Nianzhen turned around and saw Shen Nianzhu wearing a light green shirt, combing her temples, walking in from outside the courtyard refreshed, smiling at her very obediently, and then walked to Ding's side and stood still.
As soon as Su Yunmu saw her, he slipped behind Shen Nianzhen and said with a pleading face: "Miss Shen!" You're going to protect me! β
Rong Chen's face turned black all of a sudden, and he glared at Su Yunmu angrily: "You come out of the palace!" It's a shame for a big man to be afraid of women like this! β
"It's not that I'm ashamed, it's really that she's too powerful...... Su Yunmu secretly glanced at Shen Nianzhu from behind Shen Nianzhen, just met her gaze, and suddenly screamed in fright, and sat on the ground completely.
Rong Chen's forehead was bruised, and he tried very hard to maintain the smile on his face, got up and pulled Shen Nianzhen and said, "You come and sit next to the palace." β
Over there, Su Yunmu screamed, got up from the ground, didn't eat any food, and rushed away from the Shen family.
