After Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet, various rumors were flying in the sky.
The most eye-catching is the rumors of the misconduct of the two concubines of the Mu family, which has affected the reputation of other Mu family girls, and even the students who are nervously preparing for the test have heard these two rumors.
It is said that the day after Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet, the two sons of Wen Shangshu directly went to the door to break the marriage contract, and bluntly did not marry the vicious-minded person. This was a huge mess, and the marriage contract between the two finally ended.
Mu Qingling's reputation was ruined.
Rumors about Mu Qingci's unscrupulous self-destruction of his innocent four princes also spread. Everyone secretly pointed out Mu Qingci and wanted to know whether the four princes would bring Mu Qingci into the backyard. At this time, a heavy news broke. Here, the saint gave a marriage to the four princes, and the candidate was Li Xiangxiang, granddaughter of Li Ge.
When the news came out, most of them felt that the chance of Miss Mu entering the backyard of the Fourth Prince was extremely slim.
Ruan Xi also learned of these gossip rumors from Suyu Suzhu.
Wen Tingyi couldn’t wait to dissolve Mu Qingling’s marriage contract. It was in her expectation that Wen Tingzhou had said that his concubine was the daughter of a seventh-rank official. Mu Qingling died on her own. Of course, Wen Tingzhou Will seize this opportunity.
Ruan Xi learned from Wen Tingzhou's letter that Wen Tingyi's dissolution of the marriage contract was his own opinion, and that he retired after his elders, and Wen Shangshu did not want this marriage, so the matter was settled.
Ruan Xi didn't feel much about it.
Ruan Xi didn't care whether it was Mu Qingling or other ladies who were escorts with her.
"Miss, the four princes were given a marriage. Would you say that Miss Mu would have nothing to do with a bamboo basket?" Suyu asked curiously.
Ruan Xi ate a piece of spring peach and smiled: "Suyu, the rumors are not credible. Brother Tingzhou and I were both present at the time. I can only say that Mu Qingci was too unlucky and was accidentally cheated by the third sister, and the fourth prince was also in his heart. There are a few, I will definitely not irritate Mu Qingci, just watch, it won’t be long before Mu Qingci will enter the backyard of the Fourth Prince."
Suzhu's eyes widened, "Miss, isn't the rumor that Miss Mu instructed Miss San to do this? Miss San didn't come forward to clarify."
Suyu nodded in agreement.
At that time, neither she nor Suzhu followed Miss and Young Master Wen, and they did not know the situation at that time.
Miss San should know why she didn't clarify.
Ruan Xi thought of Ruan Sanniang's virtue and asked, "Is clarification useful?"
Even if Ruan Sanniang came forward to clarify, the rumors would still fall to one side. The fourth prince was not only noble, but also handsome, and there were many ladies who liked him.
Mu Qingci, the concubine of the Mu family, became a thorn in the eye.
"It's better than nothing. The words of Miss Three are popular in the capital, and the talented woman has a great reputation. Someone should believe what she said." Suyu said uncertainly.
"But the third sister is willing to come forward to clarify?"
The corner of Ruan Xi's mouth twitched slightly. Ruan Sanniang was indeed unkind, cheating on Mu Qingci. It's not difficult to apologize, but she just doesn't.
Mu Qingci is probably very disappointed, it would be better to stay away from Ruan Sanniang.
But... Ruan Sanniang focused on the Fourth Prince.
There will be many intersections between Mu Qingci and Ruan Sanniang in the future. From the two encounters between the Fourth Prince and Mu Qingci, Ruan Xi faintly guessed that Ruan Sanniang was alive so happily, maybe her mission was not completed.
Cement formulations, glass formulations, improved farm tools, looking for high-yield crops...
Ruan Xi is handy and has done all kinds of small handicrafts. It is not difficult to improve farming tools, and it is not difficult to find high-yield crops. It is good to send someone overseas to find it.
But neither she nor Mu Qingci have no cement formula glass formula, especially cement, which is of great significance. In addition to building houses and paving roads, they can also build flood control dams.
This requires Ruan Sanniang.
"Probably not, it's been two days now, and Miss Third hasn't moved yet."
"If you don't talk about this, the servant girl wants to know when Miss San will return her jewelry?" Suzhu was angrily thinking of this.
He said that he would return it the next day after the birthday banquet. It has been two days now. Couldn't Miss Third forget.
"That's right, Suzhu didn't tell me, the servant girl almost forgot about it, miss, do you want the servant girl to talk to the third lady?"
Ruan Xi was also puzzled. When Ruan Sanniang saw the set of jewelry, the disgust in her eyes overflowed, but now she has been slow to pay it back, and she can't understand Ruan Sanniang's thoughts.
"Wait another two days to see."
Ruan Xi is not a stingy person, so just give Ruan Sanniang two more days.
Suyu and Suzhu were unwilling.
At this time, the old woman hurriedly came in to report: "Miss, Miss 3's maid, Yaohong, is here."
Suyu and Suzhu lifted their spirits: "Miss San is finally going to return Miss Jewelry?"
The old woman hesitated and said, "Yaohong came empty-handed."
Suyu and Suzhu's face was extremely ugly.
"Let her in." Ruan Xi didn't know what Ruan Sanniang was making, and couldn't help frowning, and said coldly.
Yaohong came in and saluted Ruan Xi respectfully: "The slave and maid had seen Miss Four."
"Yaohong, what are you doing here? Could it be that you return the lady's jewelry for the third lady?" Suyu looked at Yaohong who was empty-handed, her anger rose, and she couldn't help but mock.
Yao Hongqiao's face flushed, and her face was even more ashamed to think of her intention.
"The slave and maid came to sue for the young lady. The young lady accidentally broke a gold hairpin that day and... lost an earring, so she hasn't returned the jewelry."
Suyu and Suzhu exploded.
"It's too much, this is the jewelry that the old lady gave to the young lady."
"Miss Third Miss did it on purpose?"
Yao Hong's face was even more embarrassing.
Ruan Xi's expression was still faint, but everyone could tell that she was angry.
Ruan Sanniang really passed. When she came back, she still saw that set of jewelry was worn on her body. Now she sent someone to say that the jewelry was either broken or lost an earring.
Ruan Sanniang's behavior is really excessive, regardless of whether it is true or false.
She even made such a small move and sent Yaohong to disgustingly respond to her. I have to say that Ruan Sanniang did succeed.
"Yaohong, go back and tell the third sister so that she can do it for herself."
Ruan Xi left a word and blasted Yao Hong away.
Suyu and Suzhu looked angry.
"Miss, the third lady is too bullying, we must spread this out."
"Yes, it's better to pass it to the ears of the old lady."
Ruan Xi's face condensed.
"Well, you can figure it out."
If her guess is true, Ruan Sanniang will continue to bounce before her mission is completed. Her actions will only affect Ruan Sanniang's reputation a bit, but Ruan Xi just doesn't want to bear this tone.
Suyu and Suzhu get the consent of the young lady and can't wait to spread the news.
After Ruan Xi got angry, she put aside, she didn't want to put her mind on Ruan Sanniang, even if the old lady and others knew about it, she just reprimanded Ruan Sanniang.
She is very busy now, busy learning to be a housekeeper, and busy learning how to cook with Mama Yang. In fact, as an orphan, she knows how to cook and learns quickly.
Later, she will go to the small kitchen to see how the cook is making dry fried noodles.
Dry fried noodles is actually another name for instant noodles, but this dynasty already has dried noodles. Dry noodles are more expensive than rice. Ruan Xi added the steps of steaming, embossing and frying on this basis.
The weather in early April was still a bit cold.
There will be a three-day test. The test room is in the small room of the Gongyuan. It is a bit like a single-person cell. It is said that it is very difficult to lie down. Eating, sleeping, and defecation are all done in the room. In addition, the time is tight and the test regulations are strict. You may bring your own pot to cook, usually eating dry food or icy pastries, these foods must be cut and strictly inspected.
Ruan Xi felt sorry for Wen Tingzhou, so he thought of instant noodles.
In the past two days, the smell of Chengxinyuan’s small kitchen was permeated. The people in Chengxinyuan knew about Miss Si’s cooking with Mama Yang, so she didn’t feel surprised, but lamented Miss Si’s talent.
At this time, Ruan Xi was looking at the small pieces of instant noodles that had just been fried in the small kitchen, and his mouth was full of smiles.
"Yes, you can take these fried noodles to dry."
The cooks on the side were very happy: "Yes, miss."
Ruan Xi was also very happy. The appearance of these fragrant fried noodles looks like instant noodles. Although it takes a long time to make by hand, the bamboo embossing tool saves a lot of effort.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
From afternoon to evening, the fried noodles are enough to cool and dry, and they really become dry fried noodles.
In the morning of the next day, Ruan Xi took several pieces of dry fried noodles and shared them with Suyu Suzhu, Mama Yang, and Mama Lin, and told them how to eat them and let them taste the taste of fried noodles.
Ruan Xi himself soaked a bowl of dry fried noodles in hot water and scooped a spoon or two of pickles. It tasted particularly fragrant and delicious.
"Miss, the fried noodles you got out are soaked in hot water, it tastes really delicious."
After eating a bowl of instant noodles, Suyu was still unsatisfied, obviously conquered by the dry fried noodles.
Ruan Xi was also very satisfied after eating. She smiled and said, "In fact, it's more delicious to eat."
In order to prevent the identity of the crossing woman from being exposed, Ruan Xi not only changed the name of the instant noodles, but also did not make the vegetable bag and the seasoning bag, but improved on the basis of the dry noodles, and sprinkled the spices when the dry noodles were fried.
As for whether Ruan Sanniang will get it out after knowing it, Ruan Xi doesn't know.
Suyu and Suzhu's eyes brightened when they heard it.
Mother Yang was full of emotion after eating the dry fried noodles. The dry fried noodles made by Miss Fourth are not only convenient but also delicious. More importantly, this simple and easy-to-eat food must be very popular when it spreads out.
Mother Lin sighed for Miss Fourth's affection for Young Master Wen, and she could see at a glance the purpose of Miss Fourth's fried noodles.
After tasting the delicious instant noodles, Ruan Xi couldn't help but write a letter to Wen Tingzhou telling him the good news. He also packed twelve pieces of dry fried noodles in a food box and attached the way of eating.
After Wen Tingzhou opened the letter and saw it, the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow, and he was full of pleasant breath.
"Ruan Ruan..."
This feeling of being cared for by someone he likes is so wonderful. He suddenly wanted to see Ruan Ruan, and he had the urge to hold her tightly in his arms.
The appearance of fried noodles is a boon for students.
Wen Tingzhou opened the food box, and twelve square fried noodles lay neatly in the food box, exuding aroma.
"Zhang Qing, take a pot of boiling hot water, a large clean bowl with a lid, and a jar of pickles in."
Zhang Qing who was next to him quickly took the order, he was very curious about the noodles sent by Miss Ruan Si.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Qing watched the son eagerly as he took a piece of fried noodles and put it in a big bowl, poured boiling hot water, and then covered the bowl.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhang Qing saw the son lift the lid of the bowl, and a strong and pleasant fragrance escaped.
Zhang Qing couldn't help sucking his nose and swallowing the saliva: "It smells good, it smells really good."
Wen Tingzhou looked at the soaked dry fried noodles, not only fragrant, but also good-looking, he added pickles in without delay, and then started eating.
Well, it tastes good, it would be better if you can eat it with Ruan Ruan.
Wen Tingzhou felt a little regretful in his heart.
