Chapter 119 The skill of making pastry is not as good as that of cooking
Lu Yuhong said: "Every dish has exceeded my expectations, Mr. Wei, I really envy you!"
Chu Lan also said: "It's really good."
Wei Mingting, who was praised, didn't 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 sumosmanthus cake and almond cake.
Lu Yuhong couldn't 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: "This girl's skill in making cakes is not as good as cooking, and she can improve it."
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 didn't say much.
After dinner, Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong left the 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, and today he came directly to the house as a guest. Let's take a look." 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!"
"It's not really a big deal, just having a meal, maybe it's not Mr. Chu's intention, it's probably because Mr. Lu is greedy." Wei Mingting didn't 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.
"Master Wei, don't be modest, the good days of your Wei Mansion are coming!"
Qian Zhixian smiled meaningfully.
Wei Mingting didn't say anything, he didn't agree with it or expected such a thing, but he couldn't 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: "Are these two pastries also made by Miss and her maid?"
Wei Mingting was not angry but threatened, so frightened the servant girl hurriedly said: "I don't know, this is given to the slave by Mrs. Yu, I don't know who made it!"
Wei Mingting's expression was serious: "Didn't the dishes come from the big kitchen?"
The servant girl was so frightened that her voice trembled: "No...it's not from the big kitchen..."
After getting the answer, Wei Mingting got up and went back to Cangyun Garden.
Seeing that Wei Mingting's face was not looking good, Yun thought it was something wrong with the lunch, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the food? Has His Highness the Seventh Prince been upset?"
Then he said angrily: "I would have let the cook cook this meal if I knew it earlier."
Wei Mingting shook his head: "There is no problem with the food, His Royal Highness and Young Master Lu are very satisfied."
"Really?" Wen Yan said that the stone in Yun's 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: "Since there is no problem with the food, why is your husband so frowning?"
Wei Mingting said: "Didn't you confine Wanwan in the mansion?"
Yun nodded: "I 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 can't let her go back to the house for a few days. Go out as you please."
"After 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."
Mr. Yun was startled, and then thought of the general situation: "It seems that Wanwan is also trying her best. There is nothing to be entangled in this matter. Wanwan's craftsmanship is not bad, so it doesn't matter."
Wei Mingting doesn't think it's a trivial matter: "As a lady of every family, she doesn't have the orders of her parents, so why would she take the initiative to send her own cakes to her boyfriend? I'm afraid she has some thoughts that she shouldn't have."
Wei Mingting continued: "The Seventh Prince has a noble status, Wan Wan must not have any wrong thoughts; I told you about the Seventh Prince's status because I don't want you to do wrong things, not to make the family members have wrong thoughts. "
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, Yun's brows couldn't help but frowned. After thinking for a while, he defended Wei Qingwan:
"Your Majesty, don't 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 It's delicious, and I can only praise our cook in the mansion, how could I think it has something to do with Wanwan."
"I also hope it's just that I'm thinking too much." Wei Mingting said, "Wanwan 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."
"Husband, don't worry, Wanwan has been sensible since she was a child, and she has a sense of propriety, and she will never have what she shouldn't have." Yun still believes that she has seen her eldest daughter's heart since she was a child.
Yun said again: "Just in case, I will go to Wangmeiyuan again later and ask carefully."
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 didn't 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 Lan's visit except the servant girl who serves, so she still doesn't 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.
"Mother, why are you here?" Wei Qingwan asked.
"Did you just make two pastries and send them to the front yard?" Yun asked.
