Grandma's expression was particularly ferocious, and Miss Fan was stunned: "Grandma, I just brought her back to cook a meal, this, this..."
Miss Fan has always been innocent and a considerate daughter. Mrs. Fan's expression returned to normal, but she quickly glanced at Aunt Hua and said, "Ahua, go and help them."
Aunt Hua immediately went out. Mrs. Fan nestled under Mrs. Fan's knees and said coquettishly: "Ms. Qin's cooking is very delicious. Even Wenyue Langjun praised her highly."
Ever since her daughter met Nangong Wenyue, she has been obsessed with him. My daughter has no other hobbies, she just likes food and beauties. Mrs. Fan deliberately controlled her daughter and asked her to sew clothes at home, but her daughter became wilted and lifeless after staying at home for too long. Mrs. Fan only had one daughter, so she naturally followed her.
Seeing her curling up the corners of her mouth, Mrs. Fan also smiled, and whispered: "Ms. Qin is very powerful. I will definitely have a big appetite when I see the dishes she cooks."
Mrs. Fan smiled and said: "My son is the most filial." She smiled on her face, but felt worried in her heart. She had a bad appetite, but it was not because of her physical condition, but because of the heavy accumulation of many things in her heart. For example, fear that one day in the future...
Mrs. Fan felt a little more sad.
But he still held on and said: "Xiang'er, it will cost a lot of money to invite Madam Qin back. I will give you the money."
Mrs. Fan quickly waved her hand: "Aniang, my daughter still has a lot of private money." She is the only daughter in her family, and Aniang has been saving her dowry since she was a child. But since last autumn, her monthly income has become even more.
Aunt Hua came in again, smiled and said to Mrs. Fan: "Madam, there is a Mr. Li outside. He said that he helped him a lot in the past, and today I specially prepared some gifts to thank him."
Your surname is Li? Mrs. Fan's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously asked Aunt Hua: "What is that person like?"
Aunt Hua shook her head: "He was sitting in the carriage, and I didn't take a closer look."
Miss Fan was very happy: "Mom, you are the one thanking Dad. Dad has really done a lot of good things. Aunt Hua, please quickly invite Mr. Li in for tea. By the way, Qin Qin Since the lady is here, let her cook more dishes..."
Mrs. Fan forced a smile and said: "Xiang'er, your father is not at home, and our house is full of women, so it is inconvenient. It is better to ask Mr. Li to go home first and come back another day."
She glanced at Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua was ordered to go out, and Mrs. Fan suddenly said: "My daughter actually forgot that her father was on duty. But my daughter remembered that her father didn't come back last night. Was he delayed by official business?" In fact, they moved. Since the new home, my father has not been home every day. Dad has never been so busy before.
Mrs. Fan smiled and said: "Your father came back last night, but it was too late and it was early to go out today, so you didn't meet." After that, she said in a funny way, "You always run out all day, your father Even at home, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Mrs. Fan stuck out her tongue and said, "My daughter has realized her mistake. From now on, my daughter will definitely stay with her at home every day and stop running around."
Mrs. Fan's eyes saw Aunt Hua hesitating outside. She smiled and touched her daughter's head: "There is no need to stay at home all day long. Spring is warm. It is also good to go out and play and make some close friends." She said. She gave birth to a little lady named Fan. She didn’t have many playmates at home. Her daughter ran out every day, and she had long developed a temperament that she couldn’t stay any longer.
"Go and see how Mrs. Qin you invited is doing. I can't wait to try her skills." Mrs. Fan urged Miss Fan with a smile.
As expected, her careless daughter stood up and said excitedly: "Mom, just wait, my daughter will come back as soon as she goes."
Miss Fan left, and Aunt Hua came in, holding a brocade box in her hand: "Madam, Master Li insisted on letting his servant bring this brocade box in, saying that he must see it."
Mrs. Fan's lips turned pale, and she raised her hand to take the brocade box: "Go down."
The brocade box is new, but the content inside is an old account book.
Mrs. Fan's lips became whiter and whiter. She knew that seeking the skin of a tiger would never yield good results. Even if she doesn't use the money she obtained, those people won't let them go.
She called Aunt Hua in a trembling voice: "Is Mr. Li still outside?"
Aunt Hua came in and shook her head: "He handed the brocade box to the slave and left."
Mrs. Fan said: "Ask Ah Feng to go find the master quickly. Just tell him that I am not feeling well and ask him to come back."
"yes."
Aunt Hua left, and Mrs. Fan closed the brocade box, not daring to look at the account book.
She was thinking about things in a panic, but she couldn't remember the cook her daughter had hired specially for her.
Qin Xiangxiang has already prepared most of the dishes.
When Miss Fan came in, she heard Aunt Lan praising Mrs. Qin: "Ms. Qin looks young, but her craftsmanship is excellent."
"If we had been the judge yesterday, Mrs. Qin might have won." Mrs. Fan was very happy that Aunt Lan recognized Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang said with a smile: "Miss Fan, please don't say that. Fan Lou's cooking skills are indeed better than mine."
What a joke, if she wins, I'm afraid it won't be enough even if the foot shop loses money.
There are still two dishes left. Qin Xiangxiang was about to prepare them when he suddenly heard Miss Fan exclaim: "Aunt Lan, we used to serve them on silver platters. Why do we all use wooden platters now?"
Aunt Lan's smile was a little awkward: "Mrs. Xiang, my wife just told me not to use silver plates." Mrs. Xiang is good at everything, but she is careless and careless. I don’t know who this Madam Qin is, or whether she takes Madam Xiang’s words to heart.
Aunt Lan glanced at Qin Xiangxiang. Qin Xiangxiang was concentrating on digging fish balls and seemed not to hear the conversation between her and the young lady.
After finishing the last step of searing the fish fillets, Qin Xiangxiang scooped the fish fillets into a wooden plate and sprinkled them with coriander and chopped Sichuan pepper.
Miss Fan was extremely applauded: "Ms. Qin is really amazing."
Qin Xiangxiang said with a smile: "It's all done, then I'll go back."
Mrs. Fan was a little surprised, but she still ordered her maid to take money and give it to Qin Xiangxiang: "Then if I still want to invite Mrs. Qin to cook at home..."
Qin Xiangxiang was very happy: "As long as the price is right and I'm free, of course it's okay."
Mrs. Fan was very happy and ordered Aunt Lan to deliver the dishes to Grandma's yard. She also arranged for the little maid to take Qin Xiangxiang out. Although she likes Qin Xiangxiang very much, she has not yet asked Qin Xiangxiang to stay and have dinner with her.
Qin Xiangxiang, led by the little maid, had just walked around the screen wall when someone rushed in. When he saw the little maid, he asked anxiously: "Where is your wife?"
The little maid was startled and said subconsciously: "We are preparing dinner in the main courtyard."
The man was a young man. Hearing this, he stamped his feet: "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish this meal! Hurry up and get everyone out. Our master is gone!"
The little maid was confused: "What do you mean?" The little maid was naive, very similar to Mrs. Fan.
"Master is dead, dead! Do you understand? The sky of our Fan family has collapsed!" the young man suddenly shouted.
Fan Yanguan is dead? Qin Xiangxiang was particularly surprised.
The Fan family was in chaos, and Mrs. Fan burst into tears. When Ren'er came out, she didn't even notice that Qin Xiangxiang was still standing aside.
I heard that Mrs. Fan had fainted. When Fan Yanguan's body arrived at the door of her house, Mrs. Fan was still awake. It was Miss Fan who identified the corpse herself.
Mrs. Fan cried until the end, her voice became hoarse and her face became swollen.
She was still young, and Mrs. Fan was still unconscious. It was Aunt Lan and Aunt Hua who took the initiative, sending people to buy a coffin and build a mourning hall.
The Fan family was in chaos. Mrs. Fan spent ten thousand dollars to treat Qin Xiangxiang to a fish dinner, but she was afraid it would have been cold by now.
Qin Xiangxiang finally got a glimpse, and when she was about to cross the threshold, someone called her: "Ms. Qin?"
Qin Xiangxiang looked up and saw Liao Haohai, wearing official clothes, looking at her doubtfully.
She smiled at Liao Haohai and explained: "I am here to cook."
"Ms. Qin, why are you here?" A familiar voice sounded, it was Ma Sizhi.
The two first judges of Dali Temple, Si Zhi and Pingshi, both came to Fan's house. This shows that Fan Yanguan's death was unusual.
