Chapter 17: Female Officers

"This is a secret of the pure family tradition, please forgive the little girl for not being able to offer it at will."

The attendants on all sides lowered their heads and listened quietly, and they all secretly praised this girl for being a little timid. Dare to say no in front of this ghost.

If Wen Xian Spoon's eyes secretly turned into a sharp sword, he could stab Wen Nearly Chuncheng into a funnel, but unfortunately the girl half-hid her face, her eyelids drooped, and she was stunned and did not accept his warning and anxiety.

She said again: "Although the secret recipe Jinchun once swore that it could not be passed on, but it was Jinchun's wish to serve His Royal Highness with delicious food, but it happened that in seven days, the Wen family will hold a cooking competition to select culinary talents and serve the royal family." I don't know if I have that honor, please go and taste it. ”

Smelling the sweat on her head, the moment she spoke, she was half dry.

Although Jinchun is bold, he is really bold and strategic, he took his nephews to Beijing this time, just to prepare for a major event in the Wen family, invite guests, pave the way for contacts, if you can really invite His Royal Highness King Yi, it will be tantamount to great glory.

As for the food mentioned by His Royal Highness......

He has faith in Near-Chun!

River fish bread is not a great delicacy when it sounds, not to mention, it has the ability to be different from the original......

In the carriage, Yan Sui laughed, didn't hear anything, only said, "Really?" He motioned for the carriage to move on. Everyone bowed down to see each other off, until the carriage was far away, and only then did they wipe their sweat when they smelled the test spoon, and turned their heads to stare at Wen Jinchun: "Ah Chun, you are bold, and the prince dares to deceive!" Do you know what kind of character this highness has! ”

"How can there be a lie?" Wen Jinchun smiled, her eyes shone under the half-concealed veil, she was not tall enough, she was still young, but she spoke slowly and logically, and her speech was clear, "River fish potstickers?" Did I do it? Mountains and seas, strange birds and beasts, what can't I do? Since I can do it, it is not a lie to Your Highness. The Wen family has no shortage of craftsmanship, and now there is only one opportunity to be re-watched by the royal family, and we have to seize it. ”

"Aren't you afraid that Your Highness will eat something wrong and offend you and the Wen family?"

"So please send someone to Sanshui Town to inquire, who made this dish for His Royal Highness, what are the ingredients, how to do it, as long as there are these, I can make eight or nine without leaving ten, you forgot the family master? What do I do best? ”

Wen Xian Spoon was silent for a moment, and finally praised it from the bottom of his heart, "Jinchun, you really deserve to be the best son of my Wen family." ”

Yes, since my father left the palace, the relationship between the Wen family and the royal family has gradually become estranged, not that the close and pure reaction is fast, where to find such a good opportunity.

After so many years of delay, the Wen family has gradually declined, and wealth is in danger.

Wen Jinchun's praise for Wen Xian's test spoon was not colorless, and he only turned his head to stare at Yan Sui's distant carriage for a long time, and bent his lips and smiled.

…………………………………………………………

On the land of Qianmo, there are Yan Sui's sao bao carriages, the elegant carriages of the Wen family's children, and the caravans of Wen Zhen running to strange worlds.

The car traveled day and night, and Montaigne County was in sight.

Wen Zhen calculated, in fact, it is only a few hundred miles, in modern times, the high-speed rail is an hour or two away, but in such an era, it can separate all the ties between Mrs. Wen and the family, Mrs. Wen has never been back since she left home at the age of eighteen.

Wenjia Gaomen Compound, located in the northwest corner of Montaigne County, covers a vast area, almost half of the county, which can be seen to be magnificent.

Entering a row of magnificent gatehouses, the carriage walked for a long time, only to see a huge manor, there was a housekeeper at the door, Wen Fourth Master did not let the female dependents get off the car, the housekeeper saluted, and did not say much, only said: "The head of the family has just come back, ordered, there are many guests in the main courtyard, come and go for fear of collision, this little brother Yi is a foreign man, arranged in the outer courtyard, the real girl lives in Moyuan, and so busy these few days, His Royal Highness King Ding passed through Montaigne, and then sent all the way to Beijing." ”

Hearing the voice of the fourth master outside the car, he seemed a little surprised, "Mo Yuan? The location...... Don't be disturbed......"

"The ancestor recently complained of leg pain and has not gone out for many days. Recently, there are a lot of guests at home, and I really can't live there, and it's not convenient to squeeze with others. The butler's voice was flat, "Later, the little one will explain the rules to the real girl." ”

The fourth master seemed to be relieved, and said in a loud voice, but the tone always sounded a little weird.

Wen Zhen quietly glanced at the incense, and the expression on her face seemed to be a little uneasy and a little weak-hearted......

Along the way, the two of them were companions, the journey was boring, and Wen Jinxiang was a lonely, at first angry, and then couldn't help but half-show off the current situation of the Wen family, as the old lady Wen said, the first generation of the Wen family came out of a royal dining room manager, and later became the head of the palace because of his meritorious service in saving the driver, the grade was not high, but because of the favor of the Son of Heaven, Xuan He was for a while, the eunuch had no queen, so he vigorously supported several of his brothers, and succeeded his nephew as the heir, and then the nephew became the second generation of the head of the family, according to the wishes of the first generation of the great eunuch, Each generation will send a son and nephew into the palace, or accompany the prince to grow up with him from a young age, as the emperor's future cronies to cultivate, or practice cooking skills, and be in charge of the imperial dining room, so the generation has a deep relationship with the palace. The Son of Heaven is close to the ministers, the convenience privileges are very accessible, and the business from generation to generation has accumulated a huge network of relationships and family property, and now the new one has taken over for a short time, and it is already the fifth generation.

Recently, the busyness of the Wen family is somewhat related to the matter of sending children and nephews. This generation is a bit special, the prince is virtuous, and thinks that the lord should love the people like a son, and there is no need to separate the flesh and blood from childhood, just to be his companion, and His Majesty has been weak since childhood, and his energy is not good, and he has not mentioned this stubble for a long time, but he has hung the Wen family for a long time.

The prince's understanding and the emperor's negligence are good things for ordinary people to avoid separation of flesh and blood, but for people like the Wen family, who rely entirely on the monarch's grace to continue their glory, it will cause panic of falling out of favor and being helpless. Now that the prince has already become an adult, it is meaningless to send a man into the palace again, and because of the delay in this matter, the position of the imperial dining room has also been preempted, and now the Wen family wants to send a girl into the palace, whether it is a concubine or a female official, it is really not good, and the palace maid can also be. I just want to continue to stay in the royal sight, and then I can slowly figure it out in the future.

Women are not better than men, they always have to be talented and good-looking to be easy to get the blue eyes of the son of heaven, the Wen family is a family of chefs, and the cooking skills are naturally outstanding, so it is easy to get ahead in the palace, to meet these three conditions, even a big family like the Wen family may not be easy, so the Wen family specially convened all the school-age women of the side branches, and they are preparing to choose a few days recently.

When Wen Jinxiang talked about this, her eyebrows flew and danced quite excitedly, Wen Zhen cheered her vigorously while lamenting that her brain was really a good thing, this time she was sent out to do errands, she still thought she was a seed player?

Look at her ten fingers, there is not a single cocoon, she can make a green vegetable and stir-fry cabbage, and she will take her surname.

However, on the way to Mo Garden today, Wen Jinxiang obviously lost his interest in talking, and his expression was uneasy, Wen Fourth Master was no better than her, and he did not enter the garden directly, and the two hurriedly said not to walk around, and then ran away. The housekeeper, who was one-eyed, took care of him again, did not go out at will, left two girls, and left.

The housekeeper walked out of the inner courtyard, Wen Shaoyu was still waiting at the door of the Moon Cave, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it really good to arrange it in Moyuan?" The ancestor is ......"

"The ancestor is only interested in food, and it has to be unusual food, and there are many people in our family, and no one can have the ability to arouse his interest, not to mention, Wen Zhen really doesn't know how to cook." The housekeeper smiled respectfully, revealing a hint of disapproval, "Ninth Young Master, just relax." ”

Wen Jinxiang happened to pass by, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "Brother, you really think too much, you have to think about what cat and dog live in Moyuan for three days, and you don't want to think about the stupid girl who looks stupid at first glance, where did that life come from." He pulled the girl next to him again, "Jinchun, did you say?" ”

The younger girl beside her pursed her lips and smiled, although she didn't say anything, but the contempt in her expression was a little thicker than words.

Wen Shaoyu thought about it and was relieved, the Wen family was forced by King Ding, so he had to deduce that Yi Yi Yao was secretly taken away by Mrs. Wen when she got married, and pushed the matter to Mrs. Wen. For this reason, it has been specially confirmed that the descendants of Mrs. Wen are not good at cooking, so as to avoid that if there is really someone on Mrs. Wen's side who is superb in cooking, she will get the blue eyes of His Majesty and King Ding, and she will turn back to take revenge on the Wen family in the future.

If you can't get the food dictionary or Wen Zhenzhen's cooking skills, that is, Mrs. Wen's private collection has nothing to do with the Wen family. The Wen family is not to blame for setting the king in this way, and the plan to choose someone to enter the palace will not be hindered. As for Dingwang, that is what the old lady's family should worry about.

"Well, I'm also worried in vain, mainly because I have been fighting for black-eyed chickens in this garden recently, and I'm also afraid of extraneous branches."

"Jiu Shao laughed, they are all beautiful girls, not to." The butler replied lightly, but the expression on his face was completely different.

Wen Shaoyu was also a little sneering. The Wen family wanted to send people to the palace, and they were playing the flag of the female official who was selected to take care of His Majesty's body, and relatives and friends from all over the world were moved when they heard the wind, hoping that a splash of wealth would fall on their heads. Female officials have served in the palace for a limited number of years, three to five years out of the palace, and there are many people who have turned into concubines, otherwise several highnesses have not yet married, and they can also be pointed to the clan if they are not good, and the Wen family's own daughter is even more unwilling, in recent days, the huge mansion is as lively as a bazaar, either today you catch a fish and fall into the water, or tomorrow she chops vegetables and hurts her hand, and the test has not officially begun, and several people have already fallen down.

Wen Shaoyu has two sisters, the eldest sister Wen Jinxiang is not good at cooking, but the younger sister Wen Jinchun is a master in this room, and she is the most promising candidate for entering the palace in their room, and she is also the most optimistic seed player in the entire Wen family, so she has more heart.

It's just that Wen Shaoyu thought about it at this time, and he also felt that he was too worried, since Mrs. Wen's descendants are not good at cooking, and this craft is not something that anyone can make up for in a few days, so Wen Zhenzhen is naturally just a passerby, and when His Royal Highness King Ding finds out that her cooking skills are not good, maybe the end will be miserable.

Wen Shaoyu and the housekeeper left with peace of mind, leaving Wen Zhen alone, carrying luggage and looking at the new home.

Wen Zhen was a little surprised, originally thought that the name of this place sounded cold, presumably it was also a remote and simple place, I don't want to be remote, but the simplicity must not be so unconscionable to describe, it is said to be a garden, in fact, it is two small courtyards, the courtyard is paved with white stones, two bright and one dark room with all kinds of utensils, the painted furniture is bright and bright, and the wall is full of spring flowers, bright as gold, lining out a cluster atmosphere.

Wen Zhen felt that it was so lively and exquisite, as if it was deliberately done, as if he wanted to tell people that this place was not deserted.

The two girls are a little dull, not like this kind of handmaiden who will be selected by a big family, Wen Zhen feels that there is also some deliberateness in this. Fortunately, in modern times, she has lived in the dormitory of the institute with three good friends for many years, and it has never been a problem to take care of herself, and she doesn't expect to find out anything from these girls, seeing that there is a small kitchen in the yard, which is full of spices, so she sent the girl to get some fresh vegetables and prepare to cook for herself.

Waiting for the vegetables, she stood in the yard and looked at the spring flowers.

The flowers bloomed just right, crowded one by one, there was nothing abnormal, but in the eyes of Wen Zhen, who was staring at his eyes, there were words on those flowers.

The head of the wall opens on the third flower in the middle of the bottom left clockwise, counting the third petal clockwise, and reads: Long live the three calls.

Wen Zhen: ?

On the petals of the flower in the direction of nine o'clock next to it, it reads: Four happy wishes.

Wen Zhen: ??

On a petal in the direction of six o'clock, it reads: Yipin Hongfu

Wen Zhen: ???
