Near the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Chongwen Museum has an activity of worshipping the moon and praying for blessings in ancient times, so students are asked to make their own ritual to show their sincerity.

The so-called ritual is a variety of foods used to set up the case, such as cakes, melons and fruits.

Most of the male students bring ready-made food from home, while the female students will show off their skills, make various kinds of food, and compare them with each other, and the winner will naturally attract attention and the scenery is infinite.

Therefore, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival moon worship activity has become a battlefield for girls to compete in cooking skills and ingenuity.

Yan Ran didn't want to be in the limelight, and only planned to make some ordinary moon cakes.

Yan Yao is different, she prepares carefully every year, just to compete with Cui Jingshi, who is known as a talented woman.

There is one more Yan Ran this year, Yan Yao has a great sense of crisis, and she secretly inquired about Yan Ran's dynamics in many ways.

Hearing that Yan Ran only made moon cakes, she was worried for a while, suspecting that it was just a smoke bomb released by Yan Ran.

If it was in the past, the Wen family would not have taken Yan Ran in their eyes, but in the recent encounters, she has fallen behind, and it is inevitable that she will take precautions.

So, when Qingxuan replied that the beef that Yan Ran had ordered earlier was already in stock, she found that the moonsilver had been spent.

Qingxuan hurriedly said: "How is this good?" I haven't bought the items for the festival yet! ”

Yan Ran said: "It doesn't matter, I just make some pastries, and there are ready-made ingredients in the kitchen." It's just that this beef has to be bought. ”

Yan Ran bought beef for Wen Rong'an to eat, Wen Rong'an's body is weak, and it is not suitable to use medicine to make up for it, and it is best to use food therapy to warm up.

Yan Ran often cooks chicken for him to eat, but beef is better than chicken.

But the law of the state of Sheng, cattle for the use of arable land, easy and inedible, only old death or accidental death can be sold, so beef is rare, sometimes can not be eaten once a year.

And the beef that came this time is a prime-aged cow that was stoned to death, and the meat is of high quality, if you don't buy it quickly, I don't know when you will be able to buy it next time.

Yan Ran thought for a moment and ordered: "Call Yun Sleeve, I want to check the accounts." ”

Because Mama Liu was in charge of the use of Qionghua Courtyard before, she had been filling her pockets, and after she died suddenly, Curry didn't leave anything valuable at all, only the moon silver that she just received at the beginning of the month.

Yan Ran knew that she didn't have enough money, so every expense was under control, but for some reason, she spent the entire month's silver in less than half a month.

Yun Sleeve handed over the account book and stood aside nervously.

Yan Ran only glanced at it, and saw the problem: "My monthly silver should be fifteen taels, why did I only get seven taels this month?" ”

Yun Sleeve replied: "Madame imitated the virtue of the middle palace and the province of frugality, cut the expenses of the palace, and the monthly silver of each court was halved. ”

Yan Ran laughed, what is emulating Zhonggong Jian, Wen's move is clearly aimed at her deliberately.

At the beginning of the month, when the moon silver was issued, Mama Liu was still there, and Wen knew that Mama Liu would treat Yan Ran harshly, so naturally she would not make a fuss about such a trivial matter, and she obviously had this move later.

So the money was also sent down and taken back, but Yun Sleeve didn't mention anything about it.

Yan Ran closed the account book and looked at Yun Sleeve with a smile: "Yun Sleeve, it seems that you still don't understand, who is your master." ”

Yun Sleeve hurriedly knelt down and shouted injustice: "Girl, it's the lady who wants to cut the cost, and the slave just obeys the order!" ”

Yan Ran asked, "Then why didn't you tell me?" ”

Yun Sleeve pointed at Qingxuan, very reasonable: "The slave told Qingxuan, but she didn't tell the girl!" ”

Qingxuan gritted her teeth angrily and said, "What kind of dirty water are you splashing?" When did you tell me? ”

Yan Ran didn't give Yun Sleeve a chance to continue to bite Qingxuan, and said directly: "Yun Sleeve deceived and deceived the master, and he will be punished for twenty according to the family rules." Qingxuan, call all the people in the courtyard and let them watch it, and take this as a warning. ”

Yun Sleeve's face changed suddenly, and she wanted to kneel forward, but was stopped by Qingxuan.

She could only kneel on the spot and kowtow and beg for mercy: "Girl, don't! The slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave will never dare again! Beg the girl to spare her life! ”

Yun Sleeve is a first-class maid in Qionghua Academy, she is used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, and she has lost face when she is reprimanded and beaten by her master, and she is surrounded by people and tortured, extremely humiliated, isn't it forcing her to die?

However, Yan Ran knows Yun Sleeve very well, so she doesn't have the backbone.

Yan Ran ignored Yun Sleeve's pleas and let people drag her out.

Qingxuan was puzzled: "Madame has cut the amount so hard, won't the second girl be implicated?" ”

Yan Ran sneered: "Heh, the Wen family has a shop, so it will naturally help her." ”

Qingxuan was a little worried: "Then what should we do?" If not, tell the lord about it, right? ”

The master and servant were talking, and they came over to deliver something.

After entering the house, he saluted Yan Ran first, and then said: "Big girl, Mrs. cut the moon silver in each courtyard before, but it happened to be in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival to make a sacrifice." The lady was afraid that the eldest girl would not have enough money, so she sent the slave and maid to bring some melons and fruits for use. ”

Yan Ran didn't even bother to lift her eyelids, and said coldly: "Thank you, madam, for me." ”

Huaxiu retreated, was seen by Yun Sleeve, and shouted: "Sister Huaxiu, help me...... Yes! ”

Listening to Yun Sleeve's mournful wail, Huaxiu's heart trembled, and she didn't even dare to look at her more, so she left in a hurry.

Qingxuan was originally very happy, but after seeing the melons and fruits, she suddenly became angry: "Girl, those melons and fruits are rotten inside, and there are few that can be used, how can Mrs. send such a thing?" ”

Yan Ran narrowed her eyes slightly: "What are you afraid of, don't we still have good things sent by the Qingguo Mansion, just sell something, it's enough for us to spend a month." Oh, by the way, Qingxuan, you take your things, and walk from the front yard while your father is on duty. ”
