At dawn, Zhang Jinwen was playing five birds in the courtyard.

Zhou Ziyu's news made her toss and turn all night and completely lose sleep.

Meditating, no, distracting thoughts.

Pranayama, no, before the mind has entered, it is out of consciousness.

Channeling, it doesn't work, it's messed up in two rhythms.

Finally, I heard the point of the change of guard of the soldiers guarding the city, and got up and went to the courtyard to play five birds.

She stayed up all night, and she was afraid of delaying the level of cooking.

As a result, I made two trips, but I didn't finish it.

It wasn't until Zhufeng came out and accompanied Jin'er that he finally completed a set of actions smoothly.

Zhang Jinwen sensed Zhufeng's worry, pulled out a big smile, and made a tiger pounce: "Senior Brother Zhufeng, you continue, I'll go find Aunt Zhang." ”

Every day at dawn, through pranayama, or guiding, or five bird plays, the body is adjusted to the best state, maintain a calm mood, and then start working, this is the rule of the Xinglin Pavilion, but also the rule of the ancestors.

Zhang Jinwen adjusted her breathing as she walked, and when she walked to the kitchen, she was already refreshed.

Aunt Zhang is finely sifting flour and preparing noodles.

Zhang Jinwen walked over, said hello to Aunt Zhang, and went to get the alfalfa she brought back from Zhongnan Mountain.

When she was going down the mountain yesterday, when she was staggering shoulders with a mountain man, she suddenly smelled that the wild vegetables in the other party's basket were alfalfa, so she took half a basket of herbs and exchanged them.

Aunt Zhang watched Zhang Jinwen cleaning the alfalfa, and suddenly said, "Hey, Jin'er, this is not what you picked." ”

In addition to the uneven size of the wild vegetables, the roots of those wild vegetables have been destroyed, and they look like they have been torn out of the soil.

Zhang Jinwen smiled and said: "Yes, Aunt Zhang, I remember that when I was twelve years old, I wanted to eat the round lock cake you made for me." Then when I was going down the mountain, I happened to meet an old man carrying a basket of alfalfa on his back, which saved me from looking for it. ”

Aunt Zhang also smiled: "Okay, let's do it later." Make up for yesterday's. ”

Zhang Jinwen looked at the order, and the guests who came today were Lord Liu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and his family, a total of 12 men, women and children. She checked all the ingredients in the kitchen, and double-checked the pre-prepared dish plan, and then she was relieved to be busy with Aunt Zhang.

At the right time, the bamboo core came over and reminded Zhang Jinwen to check the layout of the private room.

Zhang Jinwen took the list of guests, and the list just read: one servant of the ministry, one old lady, one old lady, two ladies, three sons, two young ladies, and one little boy and little lady (immature).

Typical family dinners.

Zhang Jinwen commanded the bamboo core and bamboo shadow, unloaded the movable doors of the two private rooms, and formed a large private room, put three tables, and sat the elders, sons, and young ladies separately, and sat on the main table where the elders sit, and sat on each seat again, so that Zhu Qing changed the calligraphy and paintings on the wall until they were all satisfied.

Then go to the kitchen, write down which position, who sits, what dishes are served, what soup, and the order of serving, and explain them to Aunt Zhang and Zhufeng, and then go back to the room to rest.

For the sake of Zhang Jin's safety, Aunt Zhang never let Jin'er come forward.

Therefore, the guests who come to the Xinglin Pavilion think that the unique cooking skills of the Xinglin Pavilion come from Aunt Zhang.

Zhang Jinwen stayed awake all night, was busy all morning, exhausted her energy, went to the backyard in the innermost side room, and lay down on the soft couch under the window to nap.

As soon as Zhang Jinwen was free, her mind began to think wildly, but she was really sleepy, and she didn't know how long it took, when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, there was a sound of talking outside the house.

"Cousin, don't worry, wait until you finish drinking the Qingxin Soup, maybe your wish will come true."

"Alas, if it's so good, I'll drink three bowls."

"Hee-hee, cousin, you want to drink three bowls, but you don't have to. The dishes at the Xinglin Pavilion are all tailor-made. ”

"Wan'er, I hope my marriage can also be tailor-made."

"Hee-hee, cousin, ...... Zhou"

"Shh

The conversation between the two girls was suddenly broken, but Zhang Jinwen was shocked because she heard the word "Zhou".

These two girls are Liu Wanru, the daughter of Lord Liu, the servant of the ministry, and Lin Yuhuan, the niece of the ministry, they came early, and the sisters used the excuse of looking at the flowers and plants in the yard and hid in the corner to whisper.

Outside the side room, under the window, there was a bench, and the two girls sat down, lowered their voices, and continued to talk.

"Cousin, don't worry, when my mother and aunt were talking in the room, I heard it," Liu Wanru lowered her voice: "General Zhou has never married, and I haven't heard that there is a family affair." When my father goes to court tomorrow, he may ask General Zhou's boss to ask. ”

Lin Yuhuan asked in surprise: "Really?" Will my uncle really help me ask? ”

Liu Wanru sighed again: "Be quiet, don't let my brother hear it, I'm going to sue my father again." ”

Lin Yuhuan asked strangely: "Why did Cousin Yu go to sue?" ”

Liu Wanru said with a smile: "My brother's name is Liu Ziyu, and your General Zhou's name is Zhou Ziyu, last time my brother thought you wanted to marry him." ”

Lin Yuhuan took a sip: "Bah, you two brothers and sisters will make fun of me." Cousin Yu has bullied me since I was a child, and now you are also messing around. ”

Liu Wanru smiled: "Cousin, if you can marry General Zhou, you can go and ask my aunt to tell my father that you will have half a month's meal in the Xinglin Pavilion and raise it well, so as to ensure that you are beautiful on the day you get married, and General Zhou will definitely love it." ”

Lin Yuhuan was shy: "Look at what you said, my aunt is going to screw your mouth when she hears it." ”

Liu Wanru lowered her voice: "It's true!" Before Wang Shangshu's Lanzhi sister got married, she ate at the Xinglin Pavilion several times, and her skin became white and slippery, which Lancôme told me. ”

Lin Yuhuan: "What if my uncle doesn't say it?" No matter how beautiful I am, what's the use? Who is it for? ”

Liu Wanru: "My father said that he and General Zhou's boss are old acquaintances and have a very close relationship. You know, my dad wouldn't do things he wasn't sure about. ”

Lin Yuhuan was still worried: "However, there are so many daughters in the capital, as well as the princesses in the palace, I heard that they all love General Zhou." ”

Liu Wanru: "That's why my father said ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a middle-aged servant woman from far and near: "Miss, Miss Table, you can take a seat, Madame asked the slave maid to invite the two young ladies up." ”

Lin Yuhuan and Liu Wanru stood up, glanced at each other, held hands, and walked to the private room under the leadership of the servant.

In the side room, on the soft couch, Zhang Jinwen's face was pale and trembling slightly.

Unexpectedly, Brother Yu, who she thinks about day and night, is already a hot lover candidate in the capital.

When she returned to this life, it was Zhou Ziyu who saved her life.

It was because of Zhou Ziyu's presence that she avoided Liu Qing at the beginning.

Zhou Ziyu is as trustworthy and defenseless to her as Aunt Zhang and Shizu.

If Brother Yu got married, could she still go to him and express to him the sincere gratitude that she hadn't said back then?
