Sun Xiaoyu was originally engaged to Fan Yuan's second son, Fan Erdong. The Fan family owns two thousand acres of farmland and several shops, and is one of the few wealthy families in Guangning County. Fan Erdong became a child the year before last.
The Fan family placed high hopes on him and wanted him to change the family's family.
The reason why the Fan family entered into this marriage was mainly for Sun Hou's uncle Sun Fu - who didn't know that Sun Fu was now a confidant of the head of the Mo family, and they were preoccupied with gaining some advantages by getting connected with the Mo family.
, for example, they can get a way to sell white sugar. The Mo family can now be said to be the most famous wealthy businessman in Dingnan Prefecture, and the white sugar has now been sold to the Di people.
It's just that Sun Hou was a servant of the Mo family. Even though Sun Xiaoyu was canceled by the Mo family's grace, when facing her, Fan Erdong still had a condescending sense of superiority. He felt that not only was her family background higher than his, but her appearance was also ordinary. Since
After the marriage was decided, it was time to learn some needlework at home and learn to take care of the housework. Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaoyu went to work as a chef and got along with a group of men day and night. And her father, Sun Fu, even manipulated her, even her
Regardless of reputation and integrity. How can the Fan family accept such a daughter-in-law? Even if they want to cling to the Mo family, they still have their own character.
Fan Erdong, who was originally very dissatisfied with the marriage, angrily broke off the engagement. He just waited to see Sun Xiaoyu regret it. After he broke off the engagement, he did not believe that Sun Xiaoyu could still find a good marriage. Especially in the past two years, Sun Xiaoyu has...
There have always been many difficulties in the marriage, and it dragged on until she was eighteen years old, and she became an older woman in the eyes of the world.
As a result, the Sun family's joke hadn't been seen yet, and Sun Xiaoyu actually caught the attention of the nobleman with his cooking skills.
Hearing the news, Verdong couldn't believe it, "You're lying, right? The emperor and the queen mother have never tasted anything good, and the imperial dining room in the palace is home to the most skilled chefs in the world."
They were accustomed to the imperial chef's cooking skills, but they actually liked Sun Xiaoyu's cooking?
Fan Erdong's aunt, Mrs. Fan, looked full of regret, "Would I still lie to you? I was eating on that floor at the time, watching Sun Xiaoyu receive rewards from many noble people."
"The Queen Mother even rewarded her with an imperial green bracelet! The Queen Mother gave her two pairs of walking shoes."
"Princess Wei also admires her very much and takes her with her. She will be responsible for three meals in the past few days."
The Sun family all looked at each other, and then they had to accept this fact.
At this time, Mrs. Fan began to second-guess her, "I said at the beginning that this Sun Xiaoyu has the fate of a prosperous wife. If you don't listen to me, you must break off the engagement with her."
Otherwise, during the time when Sun Xiaoyu was serving the noble man, he would be enough to make the Fan family take advantage by saying a few good things about the Fan family.
The Sun family was already regretting it, but after hearing this, they wished they could turn back time.
"Don't talk about other things, if Erdong can get the guidance of Prince Rong, let alone a scholar, it won't be a problem to be promoted. Look at Su Tianbao, his reading talent is not as good as our Erdong. He is a scholar at a young age.
, isn’t it just because I have a good brother-in-law? Prince Rong’s ability to give guidance can make flowers appear out of even rotten wood.”
The Sun family nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "You are still wise. But the marriage has been withdrawn and the hatred has been forged. It is useless to say so much now."
When Ms. Fan heard her mother-in-law's agreement, she felt very comfortable. She said: "Don't be so sad, there is still hope for our Sun family. You see, Sun Xiaoyu has not been engaged in the past few years. I'm afraid it's also...
Waiting for Erdong."
"This is what Erdong did. Erdong has been aggrieved during this time, apologized to her, humbled her, and said a few sweet words, and he will definitely be able to coax her back."
Although Mrs. Fan is married, she still cares about her mother's family. Her mother's family is her greatest source of confidence in her husband's family. If Erdong can become a scholar, or even become a scholar...her mother-in-law will be nice to her.
When Fan Erdong broke off the engagement, his words were quite unpleasant, which was very impressive. But now he was asked to take back what he said and had to coax Sun Xiaoyu. He was really unwilling.
Fan said: "If it doesn't work, just follow the example of those scholarly families, saying that when you are 40 years old and have no children, you can no longer take concubines."
They are all women. The Fan family doesn't know what women think. Once these words come out, Sun Xiaoyu will definitely become the daughter-in-law of their Fan family.
Fan Erdong's face turned even uglier. Sun Xiaoyu's appearance was ordinary, and her figure was not the slender and graceful type he liked. He originally thought that after marrying her, he would have a few more favorite concubines. But the childless man in his forties would
His thoughts were dismissed.
Do you really want to pay such a high price for Sun Xiaoyu? It would be better not to break off the engagement in the first place. If the engagement had not been broken off at that time, the two of them were married, and Sun Xiaoyu would naturally have to devote himself to working for him.
Verdon's expression kept changing, but in the end his ambition defeated everything.
Mrs. Fan urged him, "Erdong, this is a rare opportunity for our Fan family. Don't be confused."
If her two sons hadn't gotten married, she would have let her son have sex long ago, and she wouldn't have tried so hard to persuade her nephew.
Verdon said: "I know my aunt is doing it for my own good."
He decided to use his own body to buy a pair of beautiful gold hairpins and rebuild his relationship with Sun Xiaoyu.
…
To her, Su Yueling's words were just a whim, but they truly changed Sun Xiaoyu's life.
When Sun Xiaoyu arrived in the kitchen, everyone looked at her with friendly eyes and praised her for being born in this field. Some people said that she had no chance of becoming the first female royal chef in Daxia.
Female royal chef?
Sun Xiaoyu didn't dare to think about it. At first, she just thought cooking was very interesting and liked to see other people's happy and intoxicated expressions while enjoying the food she cooked.
Later, I was unwilling to accept...I was unwilling to accept that women could not be good cooks and should not compete with men for work.
Facing the compliments around him that made people feel happy, Sun Xiaoyu said: "It's just that noble people don't dislike it."
As she spoke, she placed the washed radish on the chopping board and began to cut it. Each piece of white radish was as thin as a cicada.
Other chefs who looked down upon her because of her gender have now changed their minds. They also cook for other high-ranking officials and nobles, but they are not like Sun Xiaoyu who directly received rewards. They can catch the attention of nobles who are used to the royal chef's skills.
, Sun Xiaoyu’s level is far above them.
They said: "You are too modest."
However, when they saw that Sun Xiaoyu did not become upset because of this incident, but instead practiced cutting vegetables calmly, they felt a little admiration in their hearts. If it were them, they would have shown off a long time ago.
Where can I still calm down and practice?
After Sun Xiaoyu finished today's knife training activity, he was ready to go home.
The Sun family has a son and a daughter. Her father does not favor boys over girls. She and her brother have learned from her father since they were young. But her brother doesn't like doing this and gave up when he got older. It is time to run a shop. Sun Xiaoyu
But I persisted.
Sun Xiaoyu's brother is already married, and she has a good relationship with her sister-in-law. When her engagement was annulled, her sister-in-law stood up for her and scolded those gossiping nuns. Sun Xiaoyu thought about the rewards from the eldest princess.
Her hairpin can be given to her sister-in-law, and some of her box of pearls can also be shared with her.
But before she entered the house, she saw a familiar figure standing under the tree next to Sun's house - that was her ex-fiancé Verdong.
