Chapter 119 Lu Yuhong, who is not as good at making pastries as he is at cooking,
said: "Every dish here exceeds my expectations. Mr. Wei, I really envy you!"
Chu Lan also said: "It is indeed very good.
" Wei Mingting, who praised him, didn't know how to respond. In fact, he only found out today that there was a maid in his house who was so good at her craftsmanship.
Four people, four cold dishes and twelve hot dishes, each dish made the three guests gasp in surprise.
By the time all sixteen dishes were served, everyone was already full.
At this time, the maid who served the dishes brought out two more plates of snacks-osmanthus cake and almond cake.
Lu Yuhong couldn't eat it anymore, but thinking that Wei Ruo and Xiumei made it, he took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.
After taking a brief taste, he put it down and said with emotion: "This girl's pastry making skills are not as good as cooking. She can improve her skills." Lu Yuhong said so, and
Chu Lan and Qian Zhixian, who were already full, were even less interested. Go touch it.
Wei Mingting was a little surprised when he looked at the two plates of pastries. Firstly, Wei Ruo had informed him of the menu in advance and asked him what he meant. There were no pastries in the menu. Secondly, these two pastries looked familiar, as they were the ones Wei Qingwan most often liked. They are also the two best at it.
In front of the guests, Wei Mingting didn't say much.
After dinner, Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong left Wei Mansion first.
Qian Zhixian pulled Wei Mingting and teased: "Master Wei, I really envy you for raising a good daughter! Look, the matter in the south of the city has been appreciated by the nobles. Today, he came directly to the house as a guest. Take a look. This Young Master Chu has been in Taizhou Prefecture for such a long time. Whose house has he had dinner with? Not to mention not in Xingshan County, even the dignitaries in the Prefecture don't have such a face!" "It's nothing
. It's just a matter of having a meal, maybe it's not Mr. Chu's intention, it's probably Mr. Lu who is greedy." Wei Mingting's face didn't look too happy.
He had no intention of clinging to the powerful, especially the prince.
Now that the crown prince's position is undecided, it is not a good thing to get too close to a prince who is expected to compete for the crown prince's position.
"Master Wei, please stop being modest. Your Wei family's good days are yet to come!"
Qian Zhixian smiled meaningfully.
Wei Mingting didn't say anything. He didn't agree or look forward to such a thing, but he couldn't refute Qian Zhixian face to face.
After sending Qian Zhixian away, Wei Mingting had someone call over the maid and boy who had just served the food.
Then he pointed to the almost untouched osmanthus cake and almond cake on the table and asked: "Are these two pastries also made by the eldest lady and the eldest lady's maid?" Wei Mingting was not angry but intimidating, and the maid was frightened and said quickly:
" I don’t know, this is what Chef Yu gave to me. I don’t know who made it!”
Wei Mingting looked stern: “Didn’t the dishes come out of the big kitchen?”
The maid was so frightened that her voice trembled: “ No...it's not from the big kitchen..."
After getting the answer, Wei Mingting got up and returned to Cangyun Garden.
Seeing Wei Mingting's unhappy face, Yun thought there was something wrong with the lunch, and asked worriedly with an ugly face: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the food? Has His Majesty the Seventh Prince been unhappy?" Then he said angrily: "Good
morning I know it's better to let the cook cook the meal." Wei Mingting shook his head: "There is no problem with the food. His Highness Seventh Prince and Mr. Lu are very satisfied." "Really?" After hearing this, Mrs. Yun's heart dropped
.
Before her husband came back, she had been uneasy and worried that something unexpected would happen and make His Highness unhappy.
A family like theirs, the Wei family, is already on the verge of collapse. If they offend His Majesty the Seventh Highness, they will probably fall into a place of no return.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Yun asked her husband: "Since there is no problem with the food, why is my husband so frowning?"
Wei Mingting said: "Wasn't Wanwan banned in your house by you?"
Yun nodded: "I've told you the whole story. Although it wasn't a big mistake, Wanwan did something wrong after all. Since I punished her for a few days, I can't let her go back to the house for a few days. Feel free to go out."
"After the sixteen dishes were finished today, two more pastries were served from the kitchen, an osmanthus cake and an almond cake. They were the same as what Wanwan usually makes. I asked the people below, and the two pastries were confirmed. It was not Ruo'er's maid who did it."
Yun was shocked, and then thought of the general situation: "I guess Wanwan also wanted to do her best, there is nothing to worry about, Wanwan's craftsmanship It's not bad, it's okay."
Wei Mingting didn't think it was a trivial matter: "As a lady, Wanwan has no orders from her parents, so why would she take the initiative to give her husband cakes made by herself? I'm afraid she has given birth to something that shouldn't be done. I have something on my mind."
Wei Mingting added: "The seventh prince has a distinguished status, and Wan Wan must not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have. I tell you the seventh prince's identity because I don't want you to do something wrong, and not to cause trouble for the female family members in the family. I came up with the idea of destined to die."
Who is the Seventh Prince? How can the Wei family, as small as them, be able to reach such a high level? Although the Wei family has inherited the title from their ancestors, anyone with a discerning eye can see what the current situation of the Wei family is.
When Wei Mingting said this, Mrs. Yun couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a moment, she defended Wei Qingwan and said, "Husband, don't worry.
Maybe we are overthinking. Wanwan just wants to do her best. She has no other ideas. No one except us knows about the pastries she sent to the front yard. Even if His Highness the Seventh Prince thinks the pastries are delicious, he will only praise our cook, and he will never think that they are related to Wanwan. "
"I also hope that I am just overthinking." Wei Mingting said, "Wanwan is the daughter we have watched grow up. Although we are not related by blood, our parents' hearts will not change. We hope that she can live a safe and happy life. If It's definitely not a good thing for her to have thoughts that she shouldn't have."
"Don't worry, husband, Wanwan has been sensible since she was a child, she is a measured person, and she won't have thoughts that she shouldn't have." Yun still believed that she had seen her since she was a child. to the eldest daughter’s character.
Yun said again: "Just in case, I will go to Wangmei Garden later and ask more about it."
Wei Mingting nodded and said nothing more.
After that, Wei Mingting took a short rest and then went to the military camp again. Although he has not been as busy as before, Wei Mingting still dare not relax. He personally leads troops to visit every day, and trains troops in the camp when he has little free time.
After Wei Mingting left, Yun went to Wangmei Garden.
In Wangmei Garden, Wei Qingwan was waiting for news from the front yard.
Because no one except the serving maids and servants were allowed to come in and out during Chu Lan's visit, she still didn't know the situation of the distinguished guests dining in the front yard.
At this time, Mrs. Yun came, and Wei Qingwan greeted her somewhat uneasily.
"Mom, why are you here?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"Did you just make two pastries and send them to the front yard?" asked Yun.
