Chapter 120 Chu Lan's Reward
"Yes. My daughter had no other intention. She was just worried that the guests in the house would not be used to the food, so she wanted to add two dishes to the kitchen. The daughter specially handed the cakes to the cook and told her not to mention it to anyone. And the two pastries were made by my daughter." Wei Qingwan explained softly without panicking.
Before doing anything, I had already expected that Yun would come to ask, so I had already prepared a response.
Yunshi sighed: "Next time you have such thoughts, you should tell your mother in advance. If you don't tell me and do it privately, it is somewhat against the rules." "It's my
daughter's fault. She simplifies things. I thought that if I just prepared two more pastries, outsiders would just think they were prepared by the kitchen in the mansion, so I didn't think much about it."
Wei Qingwan's explanation was almost the same as Yun's inner guess.
Sure enough, what she thought was right, her daughter was just thinking about her family.
After all, no one knew that Ruo'er's maid could be so good at cooking before this, so there would be no problem with extra preparation.
"That's all, nothing went wrong anyway. It's just that your father doesn't agree with your behavior. Don't do such a thing in private next time." Yunshi warned.
"Father...are you angry?" Wei Qingwan was surprised.
"It's not that I'm angry with you, I just think it's inappropriate for you to do this," Yun said.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan lowered his head sadly, tears of grievance lingering in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yun added: "Your father has no other intention of blaming you. He is just worried that you have other thoughts. My mother has already told him. He also hopes that he is just overthinking and will explain to him later." "Yes."
Wei Qingwan bit her lip: "Mother knows for sure that my daughter has no other thoughts. She made a mistake a few days ago, and during the days when she stayed behind closed doors, she was deeply introspecting, and only thought about how to make up for her mistakes. , how dare you have other thoughts."
"I hope you can reflect on it and have a better way to deal with this kind of thing next time. Now that you can realize your problem, I feel deeply Glad.”
"My daughter knows that, so she doesn't resent her mother at all."
"Well, that's good if you think so." Mrs. Yun nodded happily.
"By the way, mother, what do you think of today's meal?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"The evaluation is excellent and I am very satisfied." Yun replied.
"Really? That's really great." Wei Qingwan's face was filled with joy.
"But the distinguished guests didn't eat those two pastries of yours," Yun said.
"Didn't you eat?" Wei Qingwan's expression froze, and the joy on her face solidified.
"The dishes on the table were very full. When the pastry came, I had no appetite. I heard that Mr. Lu took a bite, but it was not to his liking." Yun said.
Regarding this matter, Mrs. Yun was also very surprised. Her daughter's sweet-scented osmanthus cake and almond cake were excellent, but she didn't expect that they were all outclassed by her eldest daughter's maid.
The smile on Wei Qingwan's face became a little forced, but she still praised: "The food cooked by my sister's maid should be very delicious." "My
mother has never tasted it. Now it seems that the Xie family brothers and sisters are not just saying this casually. Yes, there is indeed some basis for it." Yun said with emotion.
"Well..." Wei Qingwan responded in a low voice, with a forced smile.
Mrs. Yun chatted with Wei Qingwan for a while and then left.
After Yun left, the smile on Wei Qingwan's face completely disappeared.
Why did things turn out like this? She really didn't plan to do anything with two plates of pastries, but in her plan, she could at least contribute to the family.
But the result now was just the opposite. The huge gap made her feel sour.
###
In the afternoon, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were resting in the yard. News came from the front yard, saying that Nanny Qin was here and brought a lot of rewards.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei came to the front yard. There were already several boxes piled up in the yard, and people were still moving them into the house.
When Wei Ruo saw Chu Lan's subordinate who came in with a plate of gold, Wei Ruo instantly felt that the meal he cooked for Chu Lan at noon today was a bit crude. According to this standard, he would cook sixteen more dishes for him. it is also fine!
Nanny Qin came to Wei Ruo and gave the reward list to Wei Ruo: "Miss Wei, this old slave is ordered by my young master to send these things to Miss Wei." Because Chu Lan's
identity was not made clear, So it can only be said that it is a gift rather than a reward.
"Please let me tell you that the daughter of the people has thanked Mr. Chu," Wei Ruodao said.
Immediately afterwards, Nanny Qin said: "In addition, the young master also ordered the old slave to bring back the planting records of the rice fields in the south of the city." "
It's ready, Meimei, go get it." Wei Ruo told Xiumei to get it. Planting records.
"Thank you, Miss Wei." Nanny Qin said.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yun came over and thanked Nanny Qin: "I have troubled you today."
Nanny Qin responded politely: "Old slave, I am just following orders. It is my duty to share your master's worries and solve problems. It's something."
Xiumei put the planting records prepared by Wei Ruo in advance in the brocade box, and asked Grandma Qin to check on site that there were no problems before handing them over to Grandma Qin.
After Grandma Qin and others left, Mrs. Yun looked at the rewards all over the yard. After thinking for a while, she asked all the servants to move to Tingsong Garden.
"Go and sort it out. If you can't put it in Songyuan, just put it in the big warehouse. Make the list and give it to me. I will keep it for you." Yun said.
Wei Ruo nodded, and then asked someone to send the things to Tingsongyuan.
Although the side room in Tingsong Garden that she used as a warehouse had limited space, she still had space for storage, so there was definitely no problem of insufficient space.
But in order not to arouse suspicion, Wei Ruo would still take some boxes to the large warehouse in the mansion.
Last time the Xie family sent a bunch of gifts, which filled Wei Ruo's small warehouse. This time it was such a big pile. If they really put them all in, others would not suspect that something was going on. So I have to get something that takes up space.
Of course, valuable things would not be placed in the boxes taken to the warehouse. Wei Ruo was still used to keeping valuable things with him.
After everything was moved back to Tingsongyuan, Xiumei checked it over, and the first thing she took inventory of was the conspicuous plate of gold.
"Miss, there must be a hundred taels of gold here!"
"Yes, it's a hundred taels of gold written on the list."
"That's great, miss, you have money to buy a field again!" Xiumei couldn't help but said happily.
"Well, buy more fields! More houses!"
Her liquidity has been tight recently, and she has invested a lot of money. It is a time when she is short of money.
This Chu Lan was also kind, and he actually gave her yellow and white things, which could be considered to alleviate some of her resentment towards him. It can only be said to be relieved, but it cannot be completely eliminated.
