Metropolitan Water Superintendent Chef Section 91
Qiaoxin, who followed behind Zheng Wan, immediately took the reward from the palace maid behind Caiyue with a look of eyes, holding a bunch of things that almost blocked his vision.
After the reward, all the palace maids of Princess Yunyang left.
And I heard that there was a cook from outside the palace in the courtyard here, because the dim sum she made today was rewarded by Princess Yunyang and came quickly.
More and more people are moving closer to Zheng Wan's direction, and they are still saying a lot of compliments that don't want money.
"Mrs. Zheng is really an excellent cook, she actually got the blue eyes of Princess Yunyang, and she must definitely soar in the future."
"Maybe she can become a female official who stays behind Princess Yunyang, and the palace maid next to the princess can also be of grade."
"Zheng Niangzi may not have to stay in the public kitchen of the capital water supervisor when she goes back this time, you must know that staying behind the princess is much better than staying in the public kitchen to cook for the people of the first prison."
……
Even some people began to talk on their own, not caring at all about Zheng Wan's opinion at the center of the topic.
Just when she noticed that more and more people were starting to babble some gibberish, she quickly increased the volume of her own speech.
"You don't have to guess so, it's just because the dim sum made today happened to be in the princess's mind. It's just that I'm used to eating the dim sum made by everyone in the Shang Food Bureau, and suddenly I eat something else, which is a novelty. It is already an honor to give these cloths, jewelry, and spices, and there is no need to have other associations. ”
With that, she hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and the current picture was no longer something she could control with a word or two.
After a while, an elderly palace maid appeared and reprimanded this group of chattering palace maids.
glanced at Zheng Wan with a sharp look and left in style.
Qiaoxin who followed behind him spoke out at this time, reminding: "Lady go back to the house first, these jacquard silks are not for anyone to wear, but the princess's reward is different." The lady's skin is better than snow, and wearing these clothes made of jacquard silk must be graceful. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Wan suddenly remembered that the things he had just been rewarded were all held in Qiaoxin's arms alone.
She quickly turned around and took out most of the Qiaoxin's words, and said embarrassedly:
"Qiaoxin really bothered you just now, and you actually held so many things by yourself. Walk! Let's go back first. ”
So saying, he strode forward in the direction of his dwelling.
Qiaoxin felt the sudden reduction in speed in her arms, and suddenly did not react, stood in place and paused for a second, and then hurriedly followed Zheng Wan's pace.
Soon, the news that Zheng Wan was rewarded by Princess Yunyang reached the ears of Princess Jinyang.
She looked at Wen Fei standing in front of her, became angry, gritted her teeth and said to herself:
"Could it be that this Yunyang wants to rob himself of this chef who can cook novel food? No, this palace must not let her take the lead, and people with this kind of cooking skills should follow behind them to help. ”
After making up her mind, she asked Wen Fei loudly: "You said that this Zheng Wan not only did a good job of dim sum, but also won the first two assessments?" ”
"Back to the princess, after investigation, this Zheng Wan is indeed so, and she is not from the palace, and she has no background, she should have obtained it by her own strength."
Hearing this, the smile on Jin Yang's face deepened, such a person was more in line with her heart.
Compared with just one specialty, it is naturally all-rounder that is more in line with her needs, and it is not a problem to bring it over for her husband to take a few looks, and even tie the other party's stomach.
couldn't help but continue to ask: "Then can you find out what the identity of this cook is?" ”
Because of the urgency of time, the slave maid learned from the head of the capital water supervisor who was in charge of the internal personnel information that this Zheng Wan was from Handong County, Shannan East Province. Because of the flood in her hometown, she went to Luoyang with Aya Aniang, but she was saved by a passenger boat that went out of the water.
The identity shown on the road guide is an ordinary orphan girl, because her cooking skills are okay, so she stays in the water supervisor to work in the kitchen. This time she was recommended to Shangshi Bureau for reference and assessment, and it was also because the dishes she made were praised by the Cui family, so she was promoted. ”
Princess Jinyang only felt that the more she listened to Wen Fei's words, the more light in her eyes became.
Orphan girl - ordinary people, powerless and powerless.
Good cooking skills - if you get the recommendation of Cui Zhiyun of the Boling Cui family, then it is not a problem to get the praise of the other five surnamed Langjun.
All kinds of factors combined, she felt that this Zheng Wan was born to follow her to do things, even if she was directly asked to stay in the palace from now on, it would not be a matter to follow her to marry.
She patted the table under her hand excitedly, and instructed Wen Fei in front of her:
"Then you have to keep an eye on Yunyang's side and this Zheng Wan. This person is going to be decided in this palace, if there is anything wrong, this palace is the only one who asks! ”
"Whoa."
The threatening voice made Wen Fei busy and couldn't respond, for fear that he would anger Princess Jinyang, a moody person, if he was slower.
After replying, he quickly got up and left, stood outside the hall, and instructed the other palace maids to keep an eye on Zheng Wan's whereabouts.
The next day, Zheng Wan and the others woke up very early, and after washing, they heard the news that the palace maid summoned several people to the main hall of the Shangshi Bureau to announce the results of the assessment.
The three of them hurriedly quickened their pace and followed the palace maid to the main hall of the Shangshi Bureau.
When they arrived, there were only a few maids in the hall cleaning the table at the top.
After a while, the other male chefs who lived near the province of Dianzhong also arrived, and a group of people chattered about their possible results.
The only thing you don't have to worry about is the six people who appeared in the top three of the three rounds.
Especially Zheng Wan, the second leader, and Qiaoyu, the palace maid of the Shangshi Bureau, although this is not the second time, but also appears in the top three every time.
As for the rest, you can only guess based on your own performance at the time, as well as the performance of other opponents you have observed.
All of them were in such a tense atmosphere, staring at the top few positions, expecting to hear the results they wanted.
Chen Shangshi appeared in front of everyone for the first time because of yesterday's incident.
She did things neatly and didn't want to procrastinate, and after checking the number of visitors, she directly began to announce the results.
"The person who won the first place in this assessment is Zheng Wan, the capital water supervisor!"
Hearing this, Zheng Wan immediately stood out from the crowd, stepped forward, and passed the examination from Dong Zhangshan's hand.
Since then, this document with the seal of the Shang Shi Bureau, as long as it is displayed, is a proof that Zheng Wan's cooking skills are extraordinary, whether it is opening a store or finding a job, it is a sharp weapon.
She finally got what she wanted, and at this moment she also showed the joy of a little girl.
Everyone else could feel the joy in her.
Just a while after she retreated into the crowd, Li Dianshan appeared in front of Zheng Wan with Wen Fei and shouted, "Concubine Zheng Guifei summoned Mrs. Zheng to Xingqing Palace to see her." ”
This matter was also acquiesced by Chen Shangshi, and Zheng Wan had no qualifications to refuse.
Follow the arrogant Wen Fei all the way to the direction of Xingqing Palace, along the way, Wen Fei did not forget to show off Concubine Zheng Guifei's favor, as well as the benefits of Princess Jinyang's stay, the meaning of the words is that he hopes that Zheng Wan can recognize his identity, and he can directly receive the reward when he hears Princess Jinyang's request later.
At this time in Xingqing Palace, Concubine Zheng Guifei looked at Jinyang, who had come to ask for peace at this rare hour, and also smiled and pointed her nose and said:
"You, that is, when you have something to ask for your mother, you are willing to say hello so early. Say, what kind of ability does this extra-palace cook you have taken a fancy to this time that can make you so anxious? ”
"It's just an orphan girl from the chef of the water supervisor, and the new dim sum made tastes good. Yesterday, Yunyang ate and rewarded the other party with pepper, and Erchen was worried that Yunyang would take the lead, so he thought of asking his mother to give an order and directly make him the female official of Erchen's small kitchen. ”
"Oh."
Hearing this, Concubine Zheng also became curious about this person.
You must know that Yunyang and Jinyang are both favored princesses, and they don't get tired of eating and eating on weekdays, and it is estimated that only the girls with the surname of Qiwang can eat better than them.
Now that there is a cook who is worthy of the two princesses to compete for, and even needs to do it herself, she can't help but feel a strong interest in it.
If the other party's character is passable, it will not be a problem to stay in the palace directly for a while.
Even if the other party is the child of a humble official, it is their honor to stay in the imperial city to serve the princess.
Concubine Zheng and Princess Jinyang didn't think about the question of someone refusing at all, and while discussing the interesting things that happened in the palace, they waited for Zheng Wan's arrival.
After a while, someone walked in from outside the hall and shouted to the two people above: "Concubine Gui, Zheng Wan of the Shangshi Bureau asks to see you." ”
"Xuan."
The grandmother who served Concubine Zheng had been standing by her side, and she also knew that the two nobles were waiting for Zheng Wan, so she immediately spoke for Concubine Zheng.
Sure enough, Zheng Guifei didn't feel anything wrong when she heard this, stopped talking to her daughter, and looked in the direction of the door.
I saw a young lady in poor clothes, with a slender body and a light gait, bending down and bowing her head to follow Wen Fei closer.
After Zheng Wan found that the footsteps in front of him had stopped, he immediately pressed his waist lower and shouted, "Meet Concubine Zheng and Princess Jinyang!" ”
Zheng Guifei had a familiar smile on her face, and she was very satisfied when she heard the other party's respectful voice, but she still wanted to see the appearance of this young cook, and shouted:
"Raise your head and talk back."
"Whoa."
Although Zheng Wan didn't understand why, he still slowly raised his head, from his forehead to his chin, and his whole face slowly appeared in front of Zheng Guifei's eyes, but his eyes were lowered, and he couldn't look directly at the two people on top.
When Concubine Zheng Guifei saw Zheng Wan's face clearly, she was shocked, and wanted to get closer to see Zheng Wan's appearance more clearly, so in a hurry, she took the tea cup on the low table away.
"Click!"
The tea cup flew down to the floor in front of Zheng Wan, shattering in response, and the hearts of those present tightened, and they knelt on the ground one after another.
Chapter 61: Unbelievable Speculation
Everyone thought that Concubine Zheng was going to be angry, and one by one they knelt directly on the ground in fear, put their heads on the ground, and their bodies trembled.
Zheng Wan looked at the broken teacup in front of her, although she didn't understand why she said it so well just now, but the other party suddenly became angry, but she couldn't help but be slow to react on this occasion, and quickly knelt down with the others.
At this time, Concubine Zheng was completely immersed in her own thoughts, ignoring everyone's fears and her daughter's consternation.
I can't help but recall the appearance of my sister-in-law in my mind, and Zheng Wan in front of me seems to be the person engraved in a mold.
In addition, even if she was in the palace, she had heard the rumors of the Zheng Mansion.
The main reason is that when the third sister-in-law gave birth to a child, there were many accidents, and finally she was born prematurely in a nunnery, and the child was thin and weak, not like less than a month, but like hungry for a while, and it took several months to recover.
And with the growth of Zheng Qiniang, the lady of the Zheng family's three-room main room, her appearance is not similar to her father and mother at all, but she is born with a charming and charming face.
Even she listened to this matter, and in the end, the third room concentrated on dealing with a group of subordinates who chewed the root of the tongue, and sent Zheng Qiniang to her hometown Xingyang to end it.
But now that Qi Niang is back, a young girl who looks exactly like the third sister-in-law suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she always felt that there was something hidden in it.
Even Concubine Zheng, who is accustomed to changes, is a little uncertain at this moment.
After thinking about things for a while, she suddenly felt that Zheng Wan's face, which was still clearly visible in her mind just now, began to be a little uncertain at this moment.
Quickly shook off the thoughts in his mind, wanting to see Zheng Wan's appearance again and confirm the guess in his heart.
If the Zheng girl is really replaced, this is a big event that can shock the five surnames.
Especially since they have long been prepared for Qi Niang's marriage, if there is any accident in it, this is something that everyone does not want to face.
But as soon as she looked up, she saw Zheng Wan, who was kneeling on the ground in front of her, and her daughter who looked at her with a frightened look.
Jin Yang was really frightened, it was the first time she saw that kind of frightening momentum on her mother, and her body couldn't help but fall backwards.
