Chapter 119 The skill of making pastry is not as good as that of cooking
Lu Yuhong said: âEvery dish has exceeded my expectations, Mr. Wei, I really envy you!â
Chu Lan also said: âItâs really good.â
Wei Mingting, who was praised, didnât know how to respond. In fact, he only found out today that there is a maid in his mansion who is so skilled in craftsmanship.
Four people, four cold dishes and twelve hot dishes, each dish amazed the three guests.
By the time all sixteen dishes were served, several people were already full.
At this time, the maid who served the dishes brought up two plates of dim sumâosmanthus cake and almond cake.
Lu Yuhong couldnât eat anymore, but thinking that it was made by Wei Ruo and Xiumei, he took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.
After taking a sip, she put it down, and said with emotion: âThis girlâs skill in making cakes is not as good as cooking, and she can improve it.â
After Lu Yuhong said that, Chu Lan and Qian Zhixian, who were already full, were even less interested in touching them.
Wei Mingting was a little surprised looking at the two plates of pastries. Firstly, Wei Ruo had told him the menu in advance and asked him what he meant. There were no pastries in the menu; It is also the best two.
In front of the guests, Wei Mingting didnât say much.
After dinner, Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong left the Wei Mansion first.
Qian Zhixian pulled Wei Mingting, and teased: âMaster 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, and today he came directly to the house as a guest. Letâs take a look.â This Mr. Chu has been in Taizhou Mansion for so long, who has he eaten at? Not to mention that there is no one in Xingshan County, even those high-ranking officials in the prefecture city do not have this face!â
âItâs not really a big deal, just having a meal, maybe itâs not Mr. Chuâs intention, itâs probably because Mr. Lu is greedy.â Wei Mingting didnât have much joy on his face.
He had no intention of clinging to the powerful, especially the prince.
Now that the position of crown prince is undecided, it is not a good thing to get too close to a prince who is expected to compete for the position of crown prince.
âMaster Wei, donât be modest, the good days of your Wei Mansion are coming!â
Qian Zhixian smiled meaningfully.
Wei Mingting didnât say anything, he didnât agree with it or expected such a thing, but he couldnât refute Qian Zhixian face to face.
After seeing Qian Zhixian off, Wei Mingting asked someone to call over the servant girl who had just served the food.
Then pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and almond cakes that had hardly been touched on the table and asked: âAre these two pastries also made by Miss and her maid?â
Wei Mingting was not angry but threatened, so frightened the servant girl hurriedly said: âI donât know, this is given to the slave by Mrs. Yu, I donât know who made it!â
Wei Mingtingâs expression was serious: âDidnât the dishes come from the big kitchen?â
The servant girl was so frightened that her voice trembled: âNoâŚitâs not from the big kitchenâŚâ
After getting the answer, Wei Mingting got up and went back to Cangyun Garden.
Seeing that Wei Mingtingâs face was not looking good, Yun thought it was something wrong with the lunch, and asked worriedly, âWhatâs wrong? Is there something wrong with the food? Has His Highness the Seventh Prince been upset?â
Then he said angrily: âI would have let the cook cook this meal if I knew it earlier.â
Wei Mingting shook his head: âThere is no problem with the food, His Royal Highness and Young Master Lu are very satisfied.â
âReally?â Wen Yan said that the stone in Yunâs heart also fell to the ground.
Before her husband came back, she had been uneasy, very worried that something unexpected would happen and His Highness the Seventh Prince would be upset.
Families like their Wei family are already on the verge of collapse. If they offend His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness, they may fall into a land of eternal doom.
Immediately afterwards, Yun asked her husband: âSince there is no problem with the food, why is your husband so frowning?â
Wei Mingting said: âDidnât you confine Wanwan in the mansion?â
Yun nodded: âI have already told you the ins and outs of the matter. Although it is not a big mistake, Wanwan did something wrong. I punished her for a few days of confinement, and I canât let her go back to the house for a few days. Go out as you please.â
âAfter the sixteen dishes were finished today, two pastries came out of the kitchen, an osmanthus cake and an almond cake, which are the same as what Wanwan usually makes. I asked the people below, and the two pastries are definitely not from Ruoer. what my maidservant did.â
Mr. Yun was startled, and then thought of the general situation: âIt seems that Wanwan is also trying her best. There is nothing to be entangled in this matter. Wanwanâs craftsmanship is not bad, so it doesnât matter.â
Wei Mingting doesnât think itâs a trivial matter: âAs a lady of every family, she doesnât have the orders of her parents, so why would she take the initiative to send her own cakes to her boyfriend? Iâm afraid she has some thoughts that she shouldnât have.â
Wei Mingting continued: âThe Seventh Prince has a noble status, Wan Wan must not have any wrong thoughts; I told you about the Seventh Princeâs status because I donât want you to do wrong things, not to make the family members have wrong thoughts. â
Who is the Seventh Prince? How could their little Wei family be able to climb high? Although the Wei family has inherited the title of their ancestors, anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation of the Wei family.
After Wei Mingting said this, Yunâs brows couldnât help but frowned. After thinking for a while, he defended Wei Qingwan:
âYour Majesty, donât worry. Maybe we are thinking too much. Wanwan just wants to do her best and has no other ideas. No one else knows about her sending cakes to the front yard except us. Even if His Royal Highness thinks those cakes Itâs delicious, and I can only praise our cook in the mansion, how could I think it has something to do with Wanwan.â
âI also hope itâs just that Iâm thinking too much.â Wei Mingting said, âWanwan is the daughter we grew up with. Although she is not related by blood, our hearts as parents will not change. I hope she can live a safe and happy life. If It is definitely not a good thing for her to have thoughts that should not be moved.â
âHusband, donât worry, Wanwan has been sensible since she was a child, and she has a sense of propriety, and she will never have what she shouldnât have.â Yun still believes that she has seen her eldest daughterâs heart since she was a child.
Yun said again: âJust in case, I will go to Wangmeiyuan again later and ask carefully.â
Wei Mingting nodded and said nothing more.
After that, Wei Mingting took a short break and went to the military camp again. Although he was not as busy as before, Wei Mingting still didnât dare to relax. He would personally lead troops to search for them every day, and practiced in the camp when he rarely had free time.
After Wei Mingting left, Yun went to Wangmei Garden.
Wang Meiyuan, Wei Qingwan was waiting for news from the front yard.
Because no one is allowed to come in and out during Chu Lanâs visit except the servant girl who serves, so she still doesnât know the situation of the guests dining in the front yard.
At this time, the Yun family came, and Wei Qingwan greeted him with some trepidation.
âMother, why are you here?â Wei Qingwan asked.
âDid you just make two pastries and send them to the front yard?â Yun asked.
