Chapter Seventy-Four: Not Teaching (Three Changes)
Ma invited the Meng family to the banquet on the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Meng family came to the two aunts of Mrs. Meng and Yan Yan, and the Ma family returned the dowry of Yan Yan's mother to Yan Yan in front of the Meng family, in addition to the three Zhuangzi and two shops under the name of Mrs. Yan, these house deeds and land deeds have been transferred to Yan Yan's name, and Yan Peng took the Lu family's letter of appointment and gift to transfer the house.
Originally, according to Yan Yan's uncle's mother's intentions, the Ma family should hand over the five years of income from Yan Yan's grandmother's Zhuangzi and the shop to Yan Yan, but his mother-in-law didn't mention this stubble, Yan Yan didn't squeak, and heard Ma say that the clothes, jewelry, furniture and everything were all made by them, and Tian didn't open his mouth in line with the principle that more is better than less.
Yan Yan also thought of this, but she couldn't mention this kind of thing, after all, her uncle and aunt had put a lot of thought into raising her over the years, not to mention that they also promised to prepare a part of the dowry for her, she was not a greedy person.
After settling this matter, Yan Yan handed a letter to the palace, and she was going to thank the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess.
On the afternoon of getting the palace waist card, Yan Yan sat in the courtyard and pondered for a long time, and finally made a list and ordered Qinghe to go to the stove room to buy some eggs, flour, honey and milk, and she planned to bake some biscuits.
The pots and stoves are all ready-made, last time Ma ordered someone to clean up the stove on her side for Yan Yan's convenience of boiling bird's nest at night, Yan Yan didn't plan to use it, but when she first came, she was really not used to two meals a day, so she used this stove.
And last time, in order to make a cake for the Queen Mother, she specially ordered someone to make a frying iron pot, which was used to try cookies this time.
When Yan Yan was directing Qingyu to work, Yan Yu and Yan Tong came.
"Eldest sister, you're so lively, what are you doing?" Yan Yu asked.
"I don't want to enter the palace tomorrow, make some novel snacks for the Queen Mother, and I don't have anything else to show for it." Yan Yan replied generously.
Since the cake passed, she has become more and more confident, and besides, the original owner will make a little hometown snack for the Queen Mother before, a ready-made reference, she is just changing her style now, what are you afraid of?
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, Yan Yan also plans to make a kind of tea called pillow cake, which is a specialty of the Queen Mother's hometown, and the original owner learned it from his grandmother before.
"Eldest sister, what do you call a move? The cake you made that day was even full of praise from the Queen Mother's old man, and the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner also talked about it, saying who wants to marry you, let's have fun. Yan Tong squeezed his eyebrows and quipped at Yan Yan.
"Good and decent, why did the Queen Mother talk about me?" Yan Yan didn't hear Ma Shi and Yan Yu mention this matter, so he was a little curious and asked.
"Why else, support you. Eldest sister, if I also learn a few dim sum from you, I'll be the one who really doesn't have anything to do. Yan Yu stepped forward and grabbed Yan Yan coquettishly.
"I'm the only one in the capital, and I've already marked it, do you want to learn or learn something else distinctive, don't be heavy with me, so that you can please the old lady." Yan Yan refused.
She also plans to make money with this craft.
She has seen it, the old lady left her a clothing shop and a north and south goods shop, and her mother also left her an embroidery village and a restaurant, she plans to take over by herself after getting married, and plan it well.
"That's true, but what is the other unique thing that is distinctive?" Yan Yu was worried.
She naturally knows that only something unique can attract people, but the problem is that she also knows!
"That's it, there are so many cooks in the family, and there are also pastries, you go and ask them what tricks they have, you just follow and learn one or two, don't be greedy, you can't chew too much." Yan Yan nodded to the other party.
Although Yan Yu was reluctant, he agreed.
However, this afternoon, Yan Yu and Yan Tong still stayed to watch Yan Yan bake the first pot of biscuits, and after tasting them, the two took the rest to the room and sent it to their mother.
To be honest, Yan Yan himself is not very satisfied with this taste, the tools are not good, and the materials are also lacking, but Yan Yu Yan Tong and Qinghe have never eaten a good one, so they all nodded vigorously and said that it was delicious, and Yan Yan was going to settle for it, so the crispiness was still good.
divided the three parts that he planned to take as a gift, and then Yan Yan ordered Qingyu Qingxu to take Qingyu Qingyun to give a few pieces to those brothers and sisters to taste, and she packed the rest and took it to the upper room, and Ma praised her as usual.
Early the next morning, Yan Yan took Qinghe Qingmiao and Liu's mother into the palace, and when she came out of Cining Palace, she went to Kunning Palace again.
This was her first time in Kunning Palace, and the original owner had never come in before, so when she stood in the courtyard and waited for the transmission, she looked around.
The size and orientation of the house are about the same as Cining Palace, the biggest difference is that the popularity here is more prosperous than that side, and the eunuchs and palace maids, aunts, and grandmothers come and go, and they seem to be very busy.
Yan Yan waited for about four or five minutes before letting in, and the queen did not sit on the phoenix chair in the main hall and wait for Yan Yan to knock to see her, but sat on the kang in the east room, and there were two bills similar to prescriptions piled up on the low table in front of her, and there was a palace maid next to her who was slowly rubbing her temples.
"The courtier Yan Yan knocked on the queen's mother, and I wish the queen's mother...
"Get up, you came to the palace to see the Queen Mother, how is the Queen Mother?" The queen interrupted Yan Yan and asked.
This question was a bit strange, Yan Yan was a little confused, so, "Back to the queen, the queen mother is very good, she laughed with the courtiers for a while, tasted two small cakes made by the courtiers, and asked the courtiers to make some cakes for her next time." ”
"What are you?" Only then did the queen see Yan Yan holding a cardboard box in her hand, with a beautiful bow tied with red silk on it.
"Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers are here to thank the queen's mother's makeup gift, the courtiers are not talented, there is nothing to get their hands on enough to repay the queen's love for the courtiers, so I can only make some snacks and food for the queen by myself, and express my gratitude." After Yan Yan finished speaking, he opened the box.
Who knew that she was about to take a piece for herself and taste it first, when the queen stopped her, "This palace believes in your craftsmanship." ”
But after all, she didn't eat this thing in front of Yan Yan, but asked Yan Yan's opinion on this family affair and whether she would hate her, after all, she was the first to say that she was going to marry her to Lu You that day.
"Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers don't hate. This kind of thing happens, there are generally only three endings, begging for death, becoming a monk, marrying him, begging for death for the confiscation of the prince of Yama, the monk is against the care of relatives, and marrying him is a happy ending, but the courtiers are stubborn, and they can't see these, fortunately, the queen chose a clear path for the courtiers, and the courtiers thanked them here. After Yan Yan finished speaking, he made a big salute.
"That's it, if you really think like this, it won't be in vain for the hard work of this palace, and you can live with Lu You in the future." After speaking, the queen picked up the tea bowl.
Seeing this, Yan Yan hurriedly said goodbye.
