Feng Zhirong saw that her goal was achieved, so she also staggered to find Ge Yuening. After all, Ge Yue would rather say that he wants to make new pastries for everyone to try today!

Thinking of Ge Yuening's dim sum, Feng Zhirong happily wanted to hum a song, and the pace under her feet became brisk.

Last night there was another layer of snow in the palace, and in the morning the palace people swept the snow to the side of the road, but the stone brick ground was still wet and changed color. However, when Feng Zhirong returned to the north house from the garden of Anxiu Palace, the traces of walking along the way were actually half of the stone bricks laid on the ground.

Yuzhu and Fang Chun, who were following Feng Zhirong, were secretly surprised, isn't this a small demonstration of Feng Zhirong's internal strength? Thinking like this, the two glanced at each other again and decided to go to King Jing's Mansion to bring information.

However, when Feng Zhirong had just stepped into the house to the north, she saw Ge Yuening waving to her cordially, and Zhao Mingyun and Tang Ranyan were still sitting beside her, but Yang Ruai was not seen. After Feng Zhirong walked over and sat down, she asked, "Where is Sister Ru Ai?" Why didn't you see her? ”

Ge Yuening said: "It was said that a letter came from home, and Aunt Hong Shu called it away." ”

Feng Zhirong couldn't help but look at Zhao Mingyun's expression, but she didn't see any clues, she only said: "Recently, the sisters have been talking about marriage, maybe they are also mentioning marriage." ”

Tang Ranyan snorted: "You girl! Don't pretend that you're young now, it'll be your turn soon! ”

Feng Zhirong smiled and didn't say anything, and said to Ge Yuening: "Sister Yuening, what is the name of today's pastry?" ”

"It's hibiscus cake." Ge Yuening explained: "Don't underestimate the hibiscus flowers here, but Ran Yan planted them herself. ”

Feng Zhirong knew that Tang Ranyan loved flowers and grass, but because of the rules in Anxiu Palace, she couldn't go to the courtyard where Tang Ranyan lived to see what flowers and plants she planted. "If Sister Ran Yan planted it, it would be really delicate!"

Tang Ranyan listened to it and said, "What is delicate, it will bloom every year!" But it opened very well this year, so I asked Yuening if it could also be used. ”

Zhao Mingyun had already taken a piece of it first, looked left and right, and said, "The color of this cake is golden, and it looks good just like that." ”

Feng Zhirong also took a piece and smelled it, then took a bite and said, "Although the fragrance of the flowers dissipated and could not be smelled during the frying process, it was fragrant when I bit it." ”

Ge Yuening watched a few people eat happily, and happily added tea for a few people, and said: "I also used hibiscus flowers to cook today's tea, and I drank it in the kitchen, and I don't think it's bad, you can drink it." ”

Feng Zhirong took a sip as she said, praised a few more words, and said: "Sister Yuening, although I couldn't eat the special pastries in the palace at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet last time, it is not in vain to come to Anxiu Palace to study with my sister every day. ”

Ge Yuening laughed for a while and said, "Just your greedy mouth!" After that, there will be a Winter Solstice Palace Banquet! There are a lot of delicious food at the Winter Solstice Palace Banquet, but my craft still can't be on the table. ”

Zhao Mingyun also added: "In addition to sweet soup and cakes for the occasion in the Winter Solstice Palace every year, there will also be pastries for the four seasons, symbolizing the abundance of the whole year. Although the palace banquet on the winter solstice is not as grand as the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Anxiu Palace can be lively. ”

Tang Ranyan also nodded and said, "If you are really greedy, you will seize the opportunity to eat a good round on the winter solstice, and it can be regarded as a success!" ”

Feng Zhirong said with a smile: "Once born, twice ripe!" But after all, each palace banquet will be different, and you will have to ask the sisters to take care of it at that time! ”

Zhao Mingyun said: "After all, this is also my last days in Anxiu Palace, you will have a vacation after the Winter Solstice Palace banquet, and you will not need to come back until after the Lantern Festival next year, but at that time I will have to study at home." ”

Feng Zhirong didn't understand for a while, and asked, "What does Sister Mingyun want to learn?" ”

Zhao Mingyun thought she didn't know the rules, so she explained: "I have already been engaged, and the betrothed woman will have to learn female celebrity and cooking skills for a whole year, and she will have to learn to be in charge of the middle feed before she can get married." "Zhao Mingyun is talking about the rule that Daye's women are engaged at the age of fifteen at the latest, and they must marry one year after the engagement, or three years at the latest.

Tang Ranyan sighed when she heard this: "Mingyun, you are good, you were engaged at the age of fifteen, and you were sixteen when you got married, which is considered to be an extra year." I am also engaged now, but they left me in the palace for half a day to learn the things of Anxiu Palace, half a day to learn female celebrity and cooking, and I got married soon after the marriage, and now the time is calculated, it is less than a year. "Tang Ranyan's situation is early. Daye also has a rule that the earliest age for marriage is after the end of the marriage, so there are many people who are engaged at the age of fourteen and married at the age of fifteen, just like Tang Ranyan has to leave Anxiu Palace after the Winter Solstice Palace banquet this year.

Ge Yuening also sighed when he heard this: "Although I am only thirteen, my father said that he will choose a family affair for me next year at the latest. Ge Yuening's father was an official from the sixth grade, and it was only because of his meritorious service that Ge Yuening had the opportunity to enter the palace to study, so she also had another concern.

Feng Zhirong looked at Ge Yuening and said in a low voice: "If Sister Yuening gets married, it will be difficult to eat the snacks made by Sister Yuening in the future. As he spoke, he remembered that the only unmarried among the Feng family's concubines was his cousin Feng Xuji, although he wanted them to know each other, but after all, there were many restrictions in this era, and he couldn't give advice openly.

Ge Yuening only thought that Feng Zhirong was coquettish, so she touched Feng Zhirong's hair lovingly, and said: "It doesn't matter, I have to stay in the palace for more than a year, if you are willing to learn, I will teach you, or take the time to write down the recipe, and you can watch and do it yourself in the future." ”

Feng Zhirong knew that Ge Yuening couldn't think of going over there, so she nodded her head in a wrong way.

She paused for a while, looked at the dull atmosphere of everyone, and said: "Don't talk about this, our family lives in the capital, can you hand over a post to the sisters after this winter solstice palace banquet?" ”

"Hand a post?" Tang Ranyan said: "What? Is there anything fun in Feng Mansion? ”

Feng Zhirong will propose this because she has a basis: "My uncle and mother have a special pastry, called snowflake cake, I once taught me to make it with my uncle, but I can't do it well, maybe Sister Yuening can help me ponder, ponder, and make it for everyone to enjoy together." ”

Tang Ranyan said with a smile: "You girl, but you treat Yue Ning as a cook!" ”
