Jiang Wanmu came out of the assembly hall in the morning, and took two housekeepers and three maids, one of whom was the eldest girl next to the second lady, and they went directly to the big kitchen. ..... The girl next to the second lady stopped Jiang Wanmu, who was about to enter the steaming kitchen, and she said with a smile: "Third lady, you wait a moment, you need to go in here and there to see it in person, or I will ask the steward to come out and explain it to the third lady in detail." ”

Jiang Wanmu stood at the door of the big kitchen with a smile, there was still snow outside, but the fire was bright inside, and the indoor temperature was so hot that several male cooks were standing by their respective pots in single clothes, and they were stir-frying the food in the pot with their hands. Jiang Wanmu smelled the fragrance of the food, and felt that only here in the palace did some human taste seep out. The girl had found the young lady in the kitchen, and whispered to her correctly, and could hear the joyful cry of "Congratulations."

The people in the big kitchen were busy raising their eyes to look at Jiang Wanmu, and there was surprise in their eyes, because in the past, the second lady had always come to the big kitchen in person, and the third lady stood behind the second lady like a shadow. Jiang Wanmu saw their unconcealed eyes and retreated to the side slightly. The young lady in charge came out with a smile on her face at this time, and greeted Jiang Wanmu with a smile: "Hello third lady, I want to trouble you to give me more guidance today." Jiang Wanmu just smiled and nodded, and under her repeated invitations, several people followed her into the big kitchen, inside the open house.

After everyone sat down, the lady in charge carefully introduced to Jiang Wanmu the order of serving the dishes in the big kitchen today, and also explained to her that when you taste the dishes for a while, please speak bluntly about the salty taste. In the big kitchen, on these days of the New Year's Festival, all the cooks who have stayed in the palace for more than ten years are used. There are cooks who are used to eating by the old princess and princess, there are also cooks who are used to by the princess and princess, and there are cooks who are appreciated by the rest of the masters.

In addition, the dishes of the New Year's Festival have always been tasted and then decided by Mrs. Shizi.

Jiang Wanmu smiled indifferently on her face, but she secretly thought in her heart that this person in charge really looked at her appearance, and some wanted to send herself up to roast, and by the way, help her earn more popularity, or turn around to please the four most powerful people. Jiang Wanmu just smiled at the woman in charge, and her mouth didn't spit out any yes or no. The two housekeeper women who came out behind Jiang Wanmu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she didn't answer the words of the kitchen housekeeper. ^/ Very Literary/^

The grandmother of the kitchen housekeeper woman was the eldest girl who the old princess had married in the past, and because of this relationship, she became the kitchen manager at a young age. Jiang Wanmu is a person who can't figure out the pieces of the palace that are connected together, but the two housekeepers are very well aware of it, they just came over this way, the second lady's girl was close to them, and then stood in front of the door of the big kitchen, they also had no chance to hint at Jiang Wanmu's identity as the housekeeper woman.

When it was time to serve, the kitchen steward woman left the room. After a while, she led several people over with a few small bowls, she first introduced the name of the dish to Jiang Wanmu and then asked her to try the taste. After Jiang Wanmu took the bowl, she filled some with a silver spoon, and after taking a shallow taste, she nodded with a smile and said, "It's delicious." She handed the bowl of food she had tasted to the women in charge, and said with a smile, "You can taste it too." The lady in charge smiled and took it and tasted it, and then handed it to the three girls to taste.

Although Jiang Wanmu only tasted one or two bites of each dish, after tasting eighteen dishes, she also felt that she was already eighty percent full, but the woman in charge felt that she would be a person today, and the few people who came with her were obviously not famous people. The steward finally brought a bowl of fresh soup to each of them, and the delicious soup was in their stomachs. Jiang Wanmu was so full that she sat on the stool, unwilling to stand up for a long time, and the two housekeepers and the three girls also ate happily, and none of them wanted to move their seats after the meal.

The kitchen steward looked at the few people in the room, and withstood a smile and excused himself to retreat. A few people sat in the room for a while, and the girl next to the second lady said goodbye and left first. There was no one in the room, and the lady in charge whispered to Jiang Wanmu, "Madam, you go to the small hall first to talk to Mrs. Shizi about this matter?" Jiang Wanmu thought about it and shook her head and said, "No, Mrs. Shizi has a lot of things to do now, so I don't have to squeeze in to take up time." The two women in charge listened to Jiang Wanmu's words, and after looking at each other, they both had regretful expressions in their eyes.

Jiang Wanmu sat for a while, stood up with a smile, and the rest of the people stood up. When they left the big kitchen, the kitchen steward personally escorted them out. Along the way, the lady in charge had endless good words in her mouth, and Jiang Wanmu just listened to her with a faint smile. When turning the next intersection, Jiang Wanmu smiled and refused her kindness to continue.

Jiang Wanmu returned to the room, and as soon as she stretched her waist, she heard Lian Hao's voice coming back, and she quickly sat back at the table. Lian Hao entered the room to look at Jiang Wanmu a few times, and said, "Today's food is good, and the serving is smooth." Jiang Wanmu smiled and said, "It was arranged properly by Mrs. Shizi." The two of them had nothing to say for a moment, and after looking at each other, they turned their heads. Jiang Wanmu also felt that she and the person in front of her really had nothing to say, except for silence. Lian Hao looked at Jiang Wanmu, who obviously had no regrets in front of him, and he sat for a while before leaving.

Jiang Wanmu closed her eyes and sat in the room for a while, and vaguely heard the sound of someone talking in the courtyard. When she opened her eyes, she heard a banging on the door, and she said, "Come in." Ji Yan pushed open the door, and when she walked in, she saw Jiang Wanmu standing by the window, with a faintly tired look on her face. When Jiang Wanmu looked back at Ji Yan, there was a faint smile on her face. Ji Yan thought that he had seen it wrong, and approached Jiang Wanmu for three points, and looked at her as indifferent as ever, so he said, "Miss, I want to go to the hall to entertain guests." ”

The people in the palace still give Jiang Wanmu a lot of face in front of people, and never refuse her to appear in front of people on big occasions. Jiang Wanmu and Ji Yan walked out of the room, Jiang Wanmu looked at the lady in charge next to Mrs. Shizi in the courtyard, looked at her with a smile on her face, and heard her smile and said: "Third lady, today's Chinese food is smooth, the master said that the third lady has put her heart." Jiang Wanmu was embarrassed to hear this, she smiled and said: "I can't afford this credit, it is Mrs. Shizi's heart, I am just touching Mrs. Shizi's light." Today I am a bystander, and Mrs. Shizi is indeed good at using people. The lady in charge looked at Jiang Wanmu very meaningfully, and said with a smile: "I will say these words of the third lady with the master." ”

Jiang Wanmu just smiled faintly after hearing this, she didn't say this to please Mrs. Shizi, nor did she deliberately pretend to be high, what she said was from her heart. She has always felt that the credit of others is someone else's, and she doesn't have to grab it if she can't grab it. Even if you can grab it, it is not so worth cherishing in your hands, not to mention that she has to go to great lengths to keep it, and sometimes she may not be able to keep it, so it is better not to spend that effort, so she never robs others of their credit.

Jiang Wanmu took two girls into the assembly hall, and after she entered, she saluted the four people on the main seat according to the rules, and the four people on the main seat accepted her salute lightly. Jiang Wanmu was going to walk to the right side as usual, but she noticed that something was wrong as soon as she started, and the seats in the hall were not divided into men and women as before, but sat in order of the age of the small family as in the morning. Jiang Wanmu's eyes had already seen Mrs. Shizi by the way, she naturally swept to the vacant seat beside Lian Hao, and hurriedly walked over.

Next to the handsome man, there was a woman who could only be said to be delicate at most, originally two people with very different appearances, but after a closer look, the demeanor of the two was quite harmonious. Lian Hao glanced at Jiang Wanmu, who was sitting calmly beside him, and saw that her expression was extremely frank and looked at the eyes in the hall. Lian Hao didn't understand her at this time, it stands to reason that Jiang Wanmu sat down, somewhat curious, and she seemed to accept the status quo immediately.

After sitting for a while, Shizi stood up and said with a smile: "The reunion of the family, some of us have not seen each other for many days, so it is better to talk about each other's recent situation." The prince proposed that there was naturally a voice that should be echoed, and immediately there was a third uncle's family, and he began to say that his son had grown up in the school, and then the fourth aunt's family talked about their daughter's family affairs. The small sesame things in the family of the three aunts and seven aunts are put on the table one by one.

Jiang Wanmu listened with great interest, from the small things of her mother-in-law and mother, she could hear the current situation of the relatives in the palace, and she could hear that some men had restless wives and concubines at home. Lian Zimo's mother-in-law sighed that her son was not as smart as the eldest son back then, and as soon as she said this, the faces of everyone in the palace hall turned cold. Jiang Wanmu looked at the woman from a distance, she had thought that she was not smart before, and at this moment, she felt that she was too stupid, she could usually suppress the eldest son, and she could only say praise and boast on this occasion.

The eyes of some people in the hall swept towards Jiang Wanmu, and when they saw her, there was still a faint smile on her face, obviously listening to everyone very attentively. Lian Hao glanced at Jiang Wanmu, and when he saw that her eyes were light, he approached her and reminded softly: "I heard that those two have nothing to do these days, and the people in the family can't stand it." It's always right to look at those two and remember to stay away and avoid them. Jiang Wanmu looked at Lian Hao sideways, she didn't expect him to be so kind to remind herself.

Jiang Wanmu nodded at Lian Hao and said, "Well, I'll write down your words." She turned her head and continued to listen to the gossip of the people in the hall, Lian Hao looked at her quite strangely, and then approached her and whispered: "I see that you like to hear these things, why aren't you curious to ask me more carefully?" Jiang Wanmu moved away slightly and explained in a low voice, "I don't care about the private affairs of other people's husbands and wives. It's just that I rarely hear about other people's daily affairs, and I just listen to them more than once. "Min
