Nian Shilan's lunch was served according to the highest standards, and everything was served with fat chickens and ducks, all delicious and delicious. She put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites, saying that she had wanted to eat before but now she had lost her appetite.
Under her instruction, Xiao Linzi took a fan beside the table and gently fanned the table of delicious food.
The fat chicken and duck were not roasted as usual. Instead, the kitchen chopped them into pieces according to Xi Fujin's instructions and cooked them using braised and stewing methods. They also set up an exquisite table stove and placed the dishes on the Roasting on the stove gives off the tempting aroma of food.
An San swallowed silently on the beam, luckily, he could hold it back.
When it was time for dinner, Nian Shilan ordered the kitchen to grill the leg of lamb. The small stove was still simmering on the fire, and the leg of lamb was roasted on the fire until it was sizzling and oily.
While the kitchen was wondering why Fujin's food was so greasy all of a sudden, he carefully followed the instructions.
Xiao Linzi was quick in his hands and feet, serving Nian Shilan's meal. He took a delicate knife, carefully sliced off a few pieces of mutton leg meat, and placed them on the plate in front of Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan still took a few bites and then stopped.
"Xiao Linzi, I'm full. Share these dishes."
Nian Shilan wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully with a handkerchief, and An San perched on the beam, touching the dry food in his arms with regret.
Nian Shilan seemed to be talking to himself again.
"I can't seem to get tired of eating this chicken, duck, and fish. I really don't know how those people who only eat dry food live. Fortunately, the palace is rich, and as long as I follow my people, they can't eat any good things."
At the end, Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi, blinked, and asked her.
"You think so, Songzhi?"
Songzhi immediately knew that Nian Shilan had something to say.
"Who says no, Master. I want this slave to say, this man will live his whole life without good food or good wine. How can he live a good life? Master, tell me about those mountain kings who are full of murderers in the rivers and lakes. They are Are you happy to live?"
Nian Shilan tapped Songzhi's forehead with her Koudan-coated finger.
"You, think about it with your brain, they are worried every day, how can they be happy?"
An San was speechless and choked on the beam.
It's true that he is a secret guard, but he is also a young man who is only sixteen years old. In the secret guard camp, only those outstanding secret guards with good grades have the right to eat and drink as much as they want.
A third-class secret guard like him can only live a day's work.
In the past, Fujin didn't know that he was on Liangshang. He could occasionally go to the kitchen in Fuzhong or the small kitchen in Cheng'en Garden in the middle of the night to pick up some of his favorite cooked meat and beat it with his teeth.
It had only been a day since he was discovered by Fujin here, and he was so greedy that he was hooked.
The twelve taels of silver in his arms had never been spent since Prince Yong ordered him to protect Xi Fujin.
He also personally listened to Xi Fujin's instructions to the kitchen and small kitchen in the mansion, carefully monitoring the rats for stealing meat. Presumably the kitchens had strengthened their inventory and protection.
An San feels bitter in his heart, but An San can still bear it.
At night, the sound of people was silent, and the lights were still on in Yinzhen's study.
He listened to the news that An Yi got for him.
"For your information, Your Majesty, I have been staying at Nian Mansion for the past few days and have not seen Lord Nian Gengyao getting close to any prince. He only went to the morning court during the day, and then went to the military camp to train troops. In the evening, he studied the art of war in the study. She didn't want anyone to disturb her, and she often forgot to drink the body-building soup that was brought in. Mrs. Nian Er complained deeply, and there was a quarrel between the couple because Lord Nian Gengyao had not rested in her room recently. Lord Nian was so angry I simply stayed in the study for two days. I sneaked into Master Nian's study while he was going to the morning court. On the surface, there were only books on the art of war, but secretly, I didn't find anything."
Yinzhen's right hand is on the table, his index finger clasped lightly.
"I know. It seems that I am paranoid. He has repeatedly disagreed with me in the court. I originally thought that he wanted to support a certain prince. I thought that since he could not be used by my second brother, then he must It has been used by others. At the moment, it seems that I am suspicious. I have withdrawn Nian Fu’s spy and ignore him for now. Keep an eye on those people who are ready to make a move for me. Second brother, pay more attention in case someone It’s not good for him. Be sure to protect your second brother.”
An Yi lowered his head and responded "Yes".
Yinzhen knew very well that the emperor's doubts would not be easily dismissed.
Nian Shilan was still dressing up when she got up early, and several slaves were kneeling in the courtyard of Chengen Garden.
When Nian Shilan finished packing and came out of the house, standing on the porch, a servant's voice spoke clearly.
"Reporting to Fujin, Fujin said that today the farm has reported the harvest, and Fujin has to personally count the furnishings that Fujin has brought into the house. He really can't spare the energy to look at the account books on the farm, but Fujin hopes that you can report the accounts on the farm. Reason it out."
Nian Shilan felt bored listening to the reports from her subordinates.
She sneered in her heart, Ulanara wanted to use the same method as in her previous life, indulging several Zhuangzi stewards to report stupid accounts, leaving Nian Shilan, who had no interest in stewardship since childhood, in a hurry.
In the end, she was forced to take out her dowry private treasury to fill the gap. However, the Ulanala family proposed to recheck the accounts, branding Nian Shilan as "not good at governing" in front of Yinzhen, and she was in trouble for a long time. He took away her right to be the co-council.
Later, it was Yinzhen who asked her to help with the trivial affairs of the palace, so Ulanara had nothing to say.
Nian Shilan had thought carefully about it in this life. At that time, Yinzhen proposed to give her the right to be an associate again. She only thought that Yinzhen had deep feelings for her.
In fact, it was just because Nian Gengyao had won several battles at that time, and Yinzhen wanted to let Nian Gengyao know that his sister was doing well in the palace in order to win over her.
Now, Nian Shilan doesn't want to be as strong as she was in her last life and do things she's not good at.
"In this case, I would like to thank Fujin for his trust. I am going to pay my respects to Fujin. I will discuss this matter with Fujin face to face. If you have any questions, you can wait until Fujin and I have discussed it before reporting. Go down first. "
The slave who spoke was very obedient, bowed his head in response, and left Cheng'en Garden with several other slaves who still wanted to complain.
Nian Shilan thought silently in his heart that in this life, the power of co-president came suddenly, and even the Uranala clan's trap came quickly, so he had to be careful to deal with it.
At the gate of Xingfu Courtyard, Nian Shilan met Hu Gege with Yucui. When Hu Gege saw Nian Shilan, he bowed his head and bowed calmly, then stood aside, waiting for Nian Shilan to enter the yard, and then she went in.
"I send my regards to Fujin, may he be blessed with good luck."
Today, Nian Shilan changed from his usual casual demeanor and seriously bowed to Ulanara and said hello.
Ulanara's face was full of smiles.
"Get up and sit down."
Watching Nian Shilan sit down, Ulanara spoke again.
"First of all, congratulations to Sister Nian. My sister is really lucky. Yesterday, my master sent people to all the courtyards to ask my sister to help with the trivial matters in the mansion. My sister has only been in the mansion for less than a year, and she has this right. It is really impressive. "
Nian Shilan, uncharacteristically, stood up, gave Uranala a blessing ceremony seriously, and spoke slowly.
"I thanked my master and thanked Fujin. I was frightened. When I was at home, my mother often taught me some things about housekeeping, but I was lazy and never learned much. Now I am suddenly asked to help manage the house. I’m afraid I can’t do it well~”
Listening to Nian Shilan's serious voice, everyone thought that she really didn't have the slightest ability to be a director.
Hu Gege covered his mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, but did not speak.
Shugege brought the tea and took a sip silently.
Feng didn't make any move or look at anyone, just treating it as a decoration.
Duan was still under lockdown, and she was only allowed to come out to pay her respects to Fujin on the 15th day of the lunar month, so that no one could see her.
Ulanara said with a gentle smile.
"Sister Nian is humble. My master has given me the right to co-council. It is my blessing. I just accept it. I heard that a servant went to Cheng'en Garden to report something to my sister early in the morning, but she rejected it. I It has been arranged that from now on, the accounts of the farm, which will be reconciled every three months, will be handed over to my sister. I hope my sister will not refuse anymore."
Nian Shilan sighed helplessly.
"What Fujin said made me really panic. Money accounts are not a trivial matter. If I make a mistake or make an omission, Fujin can guarantee that I won't be punished? I heard that Qi Xiang brought the furniture and furnishings that Fujin brought into the house. The first response is not yet complete, why not be kind to Fujin and let me do this?"
Nian Shilan was also tempted. This time, no matter what Ulanara said, she had a plan to deal with it.
