“How many bowls can you eat?” Yu Wan asked.

“Just… one… one and a half… two bowls.” Fu Ling gestured weakly. Seeing Yu Wan looking at her in disbelief, she lowered her head. “Three… um… um…”

She hummed a few times and finally gestured a number with a flushed face.

Yu Wan said to Li’er, “Go and scoop ten bowls of rice. The dishes also need to be for ten people.”

“…Yes, yes!” Li’er left, dumbfounded.

“Su Mu, come with me.” Yu Wan called Su Mu to the courtyard.

The servants did not dare to follow, but they all guessed that Su Mu had made a contribution again. Young Madam must be rewarding her.

“Are you really called Su Mu?” Yu Wan looked at the other party and asked, “Mu for wood?”

Su Mu lowered his eyes and said, “Mu for mugwood.”

“Then use that word,” Yu Wan said.

“Thank you, Young Madam.” Su Mu bowed.

“Also.” Yu Wan looked at her indifferently. “You don’t have to give Fu Ling’s food to her. It’s not like the Young Master Manor can’t even afford the food of a maidservant. Just take care of yourself in the future.”

“I’ll remember,” Su Mu said respectfully.

Yu Wan returned to her room to eat. Su Mu maintained her bow until Yu Wan entered the upper room.

Tao’er came up to her. “Sister Su, did Young Madam reward you?”

“No,” Su Mu said, shaking her head.

Tao’er was disappointed. “Huh? You’ve already made two contributions. Why didn’t Young Madam reward you? I thought you would become a first-class maidservant like Sister Zi Su.”

“Let’s eat,” Su Mu said.

… .

Yu Wan woke up late and did not take a break for the afternoon. She went to the Lanfang Pavilion to attend Nanny Wan’s class.

This class was still training etiquette. Yu Wan had practiced every move no less than a hundred times, and her legs were stiff. Nanny Wan was finally satisfied with it.

After class, Yu Wan brought the two maidservants to the orchard to pick cherries. She was a little tired of eating cherries dry. She wanted to make some cherry crisps. The main kitchen was near the orchard, so she brought the ingredients there.

“Young Madam is here.” Master Lu greeted her with a smile. He was the chef of the Young Master Manor. The first time Yu Wan entered the kitchen, he was shocked, but he was already used to it. “What are you planning to do today, Young Madam?”

“I want to make cherry crisps,” Yu Wan said.

The cherry crisp was much more complicated than hawthorn cake. First, she had to wash the fresh cherries clean and make them into jam. Then, she had to melt the lard through the water, put it into the flour with white sugar, warm water, egg yolk, and roll it into dough for an hour. After that, she had to split the dough into two and put in oil and water respectively. After that, she had to flatten the dough and wrap the dough skin with water with the dough skin with oil and make it into a flower shape. Then, she had to repeatedly fry it in the pot.

Ordinary people did not have the patience. Whether they really wanted to cook or if they just pretended to be virtuous to please Young Master, Master Lu could tell at a glance that this Young Madam was serious about cooking. It could even be said that she was fanatical. Master Lu had never seen someone who liked to cook so much, although she was really not talented.

Yu Wan returned to the Qingfeng Courtyard with the cherry crisps.

The children didn’t eat much at noon, so they must be hungry now. They never ate properly when others fed them. As Yu Wan thought about this, she quickened her pace. Unexpectedly, when she crossed the moonlit door to take a look, she saw the three little fellows sitting obediently on the stone bench, their little hands on their laps, their mouths agape.

Su Mu held a plate of snacks and patiently fed them.

A breeze blew past, lifting her black hair and fluttering her clothes. She was as beautiful as a virgin and as quiet as water.

Yu Wan was rarely stunned by any woman, but at this moment, she had to admit that Su Mu had a temperament that made people focus.

“Do you want more?” Su Mu fed them another round and asked the three little fellows quietly.

The three of them widened their black eyes and nodded.

Su Mu smiled, cut a few small pieces of soft and sweet snacks with a spoon, and fed them to the three of them. The three of them puffed up their cheeks like three squirrels looking for food.

The little munchkins had never been so obedient in front of outsiders. Su Mu was the first, and even the children liked her so much. Perhaps she was really an extremely good girl.

Su Mu turned around and saw Yu Wan at the moon door. She quickly stood up and bowed respectfully. When everyone saw this, they also stood up and bowed.

Yu Wan walked to the pavilion and stroked her sons’ heads. She said gently, “Is it good?”

The three of them nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

“You made it?” Yu Wan asked Su Mu. The appearance of this snack was a little bad, and it didn’t look like the work of a chef from the Young Master Manor.

Su Mu lowered her head.

Xiaobao’s nanny, Madam Li, smiled and said, “The little masters don’t like chestnut cakes made from the small kitchen. Miss Su has a way. She poured a layer of cherry juice on it.”

After Yu Wan married into the Young Master Manor, she strictly controlled the sugar of the little fellows. The chestnut cake was probably not sweet enough, but if it was sprinkled with sweet and sour cherry juice, the taste would be very delicious.

“Not bad,” Yu Wan said.

“Thank you, Madam, for your praise.” Su Mu said in a low voice.

Even though her status was lower than others, her temperament was not lowly. Yu Wan only felt that this feeling was familiar, but she could not say where she had seen it before.

Since her sons had eaten, Yu Wan did not force it on them. Yu Wan carried the cherry crisps to Yan Jiuchao’s study.

In the study room.

Yan Jiuchao picked up the last piece of snack on his plate. The snack was poured with sweet and sour cherry juice, which was very in line with his current taste. He couldn’t help but eat a few more pieces, but he accidentally finished them.

Shadow Six was reporting the latest commotion in court to Yan Jiuchao. “Young Master, the envoy from the Nanzhao Nation is coming to visit.”

Yan Jiuchao snorted. “Why are they here?”

Shadow Six replied, “It’s said that they’re here to attend Prince Cheng and the princess’ wedding.”

The wedding of the princess of Xiongnu and Prince Cheng was actually a little rushed, but the Second Prince of the Xiongnu could only return to Xiongnu after the two of them finished their marriage. He could not keep wasting time in the Great Zhou, but it was also because of his haste that he did not have the time to send invitations to the neighboring countries. The Nanzhao Nation took the initiative to congratulate.

“Their news is fast.” Yan Jiuchao snorted sarcastically. He finished the last snack and was a little unsatisfied, but he was already full.

Shadow Thirteen pondered and said, “Young Master, you mean… they’re not here to congratulate us?”

“Could they be here to look for the Gu King?” Shadow Six said.

The Gu King was the holy artifact of Nanzhao. Since the holy artifact was missing, they naturally had to look for it. The news of Nanzhao’s royal family was hidden tightly. If Yu Zigui hadn’t exposed himself several times, they wouldn’t have known that the holy artifact of Nanzhao had actually disappeared.

It was said that the Nanzhao Nation had paid a huge price to obtain the holy artifact. As for the exact price, they could not find out. However, there were rumors that it was related to the princess of the Nanzhao Nation. They did not know if it was the little princess who was surrounded by stars or the eldest princess who had been abandoned since she was young.

In short, the entire Nanzhao believed in the holy artifact. The loss of the holy artifact was a big blow to the Nanzhao Royal Family. They must be eager to find the holy artifact.

Shadow Thirteen frowned. “Then Young Madam…”

Speak of the devil. Yu Wan came over with the food box.

“Young Madam.” Shadow Thirteen and Shadow Six bowed in unison and tactfully left.

Yu Wan looked at the two of them who had left and then at Yan Jiuchao in the wheelchair. “Did I disturb your conversation?”

“No,” Yan Jiuchao said. His gaze landed on her food box. “You made food?”

“Yes.” Yu Wan smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she saw the plate beside him that only had some chestnut cake crumbs and cherry juice left. “You’ve eaten.”

He even finished it. One had to know that he was even worse at eating than the children.

“Is it good?” Yu Wan asked.

“It’s alright,” Yan Jiuchao said. The chestnut cake didn’t have much taste, but the layer of cherry juice was poured extremely well.

After working hard for half an afternoon, they were all full.

She was a little disappointed.
