Ying Jian felt shallow, and when she opened her eyes and breathed slightly, he had already woken up, and he hugged her quietly.

His arms were as domineering and hot as himself, Ran Jia couldn't move, and he didn't want to wake him up, so he obediently closed his eyes and thought about what he was busy with today.

Mrs. Qin Hou has a very good set of family management, but a few years ago she released a batch of girls who have reached the age, and the batch of people who have just been mentioned are not used, so she is quite anxious. Fortunately, she acted in an orderly manner, and after sorting it out, as long as the subordinates performed their duties, there was nothing to worry about.

The ladies and ladies who came to the Hou Mansion to attend the birthday banquet were all expensive, and Mrs. Qin Hou was ready to send out all the capable people around her to entertain the guests, hoping that no one would find the slightest mistake, and proceeded smoothly.

Ran Jia was assigned the task of being responsible for everyone's refreshments and food, which was extremely important, she was careful and used to doing this, and Mrs. Qin Hou naturally did not dare to entrust it to others.

"Awake?" Ying Key's voice was a little hoarse before he woke up, and his arms tightened to his side again, almost supporting most of the weight of Ran Jia's body, and he could clearly feel the softness of the woman and the grace of her posture.

"Well, you can sleep again, I still need to make up after washing," she said softly, nudging him lightly, ignoring the changes in his body, and pretending to be nothing.

With one force, he pressed her under him, and the sky outside was only cloudy, but the bed was tightly tight, shrouded in the ink of a bed. In such an environment, he seemed to see her delicate and beautiful appearance vaguely through distant memories, and even came up with the countless scenes of her being caught in her disheveled and a half-hundred-year-old man in his mind, although it was his imagination, but the coldness brought by the dawn of early spring was penetrating to the bone, and his heart was half cold and half angry.

"Ran Jia, you remember what I said, help honestly," After speaking, he leaned over and took her soft lips in his mouth, with a deep fear that he didn't realize himself.

Ran Jia was always helpless at this time, she couldn't break free from him, and she was forced to immerse herself in it, and she could only forget the reality in the ups and downs, and let the monstrous feeling sweep away her reason.

At this moment, they were the closest, and they both longed for each other deeply, their skin was hot, their blood was boiling, but when everything was settled, they were as far away as a mountain, and they could no longer see through each other, and they could not feel the warmth.

Ran Jia didn't have time to take a bath, so she could only wipe it with warm water, hurriedly changed her clothes and simply pulled her hair, brought a simple set of white jade heads, and applied a little powder, and went to Qinhou Mansion with Ying Keycheng in this carriage.

"I'll pick you up after dinner," Ying Jian said lightly before getting out of the car, and then strode away by Feng Xilai's arm.

Ran Jia wrinkled her nose, jumped out of the carriage and went to the backyard.

All the food was put on the table one by one, she let out a long breath, sat on the stone bench and pounded her somewhat sore legs, and her heart slowly and calmly fell after a few days.

A maid in a light green dress came over, made a blessing to her in a formal manner, and said in a crisp voice: "Greeting Mrs. Ying, Steward Di sent someone to ask the slave maid to give you a message, saying that Uncle Ying drank a few glasses of wine, and his eyes were slightly uncomfortable lying in the guest room, looking for you." ”

Ran Jia stood up anxiously, followed the girl, and asked repeatedly, "Why did he drink wine?" Have you asked for a doctor? ”

"The slave doesn't know," the girl replied, shaking her head.

The two of them walked quickly out of the inner courtyard and went to the guest room in the front yard. The Hou Mansion is very large, and Mrs. Qin Hou likes to be quiet, and the courtyard she chose is not a short distance from the front yard, and along the way, Ran Jia's heart has calmed down a lot.

She lowered her head slightly and followed behind the girl, she had only been out of the house for five days, even if she had been embroidering wedding dresses in the house for ten days before she got married, it was impossible not to have the slightest impression of this little girl. And Ying Jian is a person with strong self-control, today is Hou Ye's birthday banquet, how could he drink alcohol at such an important time?

Ran Jia's eyes narrowed, she had been patronizing Ying Jian for the past two days, but she didn't think deeply about the reason why he stopped herself from helping in the first place. They are all deeply favored by the Hou Mansion, and she grew up with her master, so it stands to reason that Ying Jian should not force her to cut off relations with the Hou Mansion.

She remembered that Ying Jian repeatedly told herself to stay in the backyard obediently, did he expect anything?

Ran Jia's heart was vigilant, but her footsteps did not stop and continued to walk. Although most of the guests left, there were still some distinguished guests who were familiar with the Hou Mansion and guests who couldn't leave for the time being, and there were a lot of busy people. Even when she reached the courtyard of the guest room, she could still see the figure, and she really couldn't understand what the other party was seeking, so she could only slow down slightly, ready to turn around and run away at any time.

The girl walked to an open door, bowed her waist and said, "Uncle Ying is inside, madam, go in, the slave is going back to her life." ”

Ran Jia's hand hidden in the cuff was clenched into a fist, and when she looked in from the door, there was a person lying faintly on the bed in the room, because the window was closed tightly and the light was dim, she couldn't really see it.

She took two steps forward, and when she saw the girl's hand stretched behind her, she retreated.

The girl used a lot of strength, and the momentum was so great that she couldn't hold it back for a while and planted it in the door.

Ran Jia quickly closed the door, and when he saw a copper lock hanging on it, he fastened it very quickly.

Listening to the panicked screams of the girls in the room desperately slamming the door, but after a breath, only a dull whining sound, accompanied by the sound of slightly tearing clothes.

She pressed her fast-beating chest, stepped back again and again, and returned the same way with her head bowed slightly.

Seeing the familiar courtyard, Ran Jia's cold sweat was blown by the wind, which was particularly cold.

She pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that someone was going to viciously ruin her reputation!

She's just a good-looking girl, or a married bride, whose way is she in her way?

"Ran Jia, the master is looking for you," Ran Yu trotted over and pulled her to the yard with a smile, "A few ladies asked the master who bought the meal and refreshments today, which are exquisite and delicious, I don't know how much it costs." Then my master asked me to come after you. ”

Ran Jia took a deep breath and spit out a long breath, and stepped in with a chuckle on her face.

"This is Ying Key's daughter-in-law," Mrs. Qin Hou beckoned to her when she saw Ran Jia, smiled sideways and said to a few noble ladies beside her: "You should all be familiar with her, she was my personal maid before she got married." Her cooking skills are good, and every time she buys a banquet for the house, she can be full of praise, not to mention the novel and delicious dishes, but the cost is very low. ”

"Oh, such a baby bump, you are willing to push it out, not afraid that we will rob you?"

"Hehe, that's the daughter-in-law of the key, do you dare to rob it? But if you take out some treasures in a good voice, maybe you should let go and let this little daughter-in-law go and give you a face-saving banquet. Mrs. Qin Hou held Ran Jia's hand and supported her in a posture.

"Mrs. Qinhou, if you say it's good, it's not good, if we say it's good, then it's really good! Daughter-in-law, tell us about it. ”

Ran Jia said softly, she studied under several old cooks who retired from the imperial dining room, read a lot of travelogues and codexes, and personally cooked for her master every day without any trouble, and practiced particularly excellent skills. Every time the Hou Mansion held a banquet, Mrs. Qin Hou would give her the right to eat.

Ran Jia didn't need to cook hundreds of people's meals herself, but drew up a menu, listened to the chef tell the steps of cooking, and then she revised it. When it was time to actually cook, she spent most of her time staring at it herself, giving her opinions from time to time, not looking at it just a little change, but the taste could have a great leap.

She introduced to these ladies and ladies that there were pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish on the table, but the method was exquisite, the presentation was exquisite, and the portion was not too much, but it could be used for the number of people at each table. The grade has been raised, where do people account for the increase or decrease in quantity? Almost all the plates were empty, and everyone returned satisfied.

The table she prepares for male and female guests is different, with the male guest focusing on snacks and the female guest preferring sweets.

"Hey, I've been in charge of Zhongfang for decades, and my family has held countless banquets, and after listening to this little daughter-in-law's words, I feel that the previous banquets were nonsense."

"But no, every time our lord attends the banquet of the Hou Mansion, he goes home and looks at the cook."

"Ying Key's daughter-in-law and Ying Key are now free from slavery, and they are good sons of a good family. If you hold a banquet, just invite them, one for you to have a banquet, and the other for you to train the guards, so that you will have a great deal of face. Mrs. Qin Hou turned around for a long time before she said the ultimate goal.

"With Mrs. Qin Hou as a guarantee, when our family holds a banquet, the brigadier will invite your two baby pimples over."

Ran Jia looked at Mrs. Qin Hou with gratitude in her eyes, she knew that she had returned the girls and mothers-in-law when she returned to the door, so that the master guessed that they were working hard to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

The ladies and ladies present are very valuable, once they hold a banquet, the scale will not be small, and the revenge will definitely be more, as long as she does things beautifully, the name will be easily played. She will have another long-term stable and lucrative income in the future.

"Then Ran Jia has thanked all the ladies and ladies for their support," she replied with a chuckle.

"By the way, daughter-in-law Yingkey, your master's previous clothes were also made by you, right? You are now a good family, so can you take on the job of ready-to-wear? Don't worry, Madame, I won't treat you badly, how about paying twice the market price? ”

One lady started talking, and the others also flashed their eyes across the clothes on Mrs. Qinhou's body, staring at Ran Jia with burning eyes.

Ran Jia didn't answer, but looked at Mrs. Qin Hou with a chuckle.

"Ran Jia, the ladies take care of you, don't you thank you soon?"

Ran Jia bowed to everyone in a proper manner, and thanked him with crooked eyebrows.

"However, Ran Jia, you have to wear me and Hou Ye's clothes first, of course, we will pay twice the market price." Mrs. Qin Hou said playfully.
