Chapter 357: Unparalleled Beauty vs. 722
Chapter 357: Unparalleled Beauty vs. 722
The door of the private room was not closed tightly, and she happened to see a thin young man in white.
He was sitting in the main seat with a face as white as snow and as beautiful as a painting. Just a simple profile outline made her hold her breath.
Ruoxue had never seen someone with such a perfect and flawless appearance.
She had seen this man before in Yaqing Pavilion.
I often sit at the same table with Master Nan Ze.
In the past, she thought that this person, like those dandy young men, was flattering Master Nan Ze and hoping to get something from him.
But just now, from the conversation in the private room, she realized that her previous understanding was extremely wrong.
Everyone in the private room respectfully called him Master Yuwen.
And Ruoxue once heard Master Nan Ze call him Qingzhou!
Yuwen, the name of a great family.
It is said that the family has a long history, and the Yuwen family has remained standing every time dynasties have changed.
They have a profound foundation and many disciples. Even the emperor of the time has to show some courtesy to the Yuwen family.
In the past, when I was in Yaqing Pavilion, I always saw Yuwen Qingzhou drinking wine or tea and never eating.
Just now, I heard what the servant Wan who was serving Yuwen Qingzhou in the private room said, and then I realized that this young master from a noble family was anorexic.
The food I eat on a daily basis is all prepared by top chefs, and I only eat a little bit of the most delicious food.
When Ruoxue heard the news, she immediately felt that her chance had come!
As luck would have it, before she entered Yaqing Pavilion, her family was a chef, and she had been learning this from her family since she was a child.
Before anything happened in her family, her grandfather said she was extremely talented.
Later, she had no choice but to enter Yaqing Pavilion. The mother of Yaqing Pavilion hired a famous teacher for her. She also asked the mother of Yaqing Pavilion to invite the imperial chef from the palace to return to teach her.
Ruoxue is even more confident in cooking than in playing the musical instrument, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She felt that allowing her to meet Yuwen Qingzhou was the best arrangement God had for her.
But how can I get Yuwen Qingzhou's attention?
Ruoxue was not stupid enough to run directly to Yuwen Qingzhou's private room and tell him directly that she was very good at cooking and wanted to make some delicious food for him personally.
Such an abrupt move would only make people wary of her.
Moreover, there has been no news outside about Yuwen Qingzhou's anorexia. Ruoxue felt that the Yuwen family must have kept this news secret.
If the Yuwen family really intended to conceal the truth, the result she would get from speaking out rashly would definitely not be what she wanted.
Ever since returning to the private room, Ruoxue has been worrying about how she can attract Yuwen Qingzhou's attention without making any noise.
And it can leave a deep impression in Yu Wen Qingzhou's heart.
If I could enter the Yuwen family...
"Hey, Ruoxue, look at what Xianxian is going to do?" Suddenly, Yunyun beside Ruoxue grabbed her hand excitedly.
Ruoxue suddenly came back to her senses and subconsciously looked towards Yuhuatai, unable to help but wondering in her heart.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for Miss Xianxian to make a comeback, so what is there to watch on stage?
On the stage, Xianxian was deliberately approaching Qu Xinyue.
She planned everything carefully, but ended up with a joke.
And he also incurred a huge debt!
All of this was caused by Qu Xinyue, so since she herself was not having a good time, how could she possibly let Qu Xinyue have an easy time?
Xianxian looked at the veil on Qu Xinyue's face and evil thoughts suddenly arose in her heart.
Just tear off Qu Xinyue’s veil!
After tearing off Qu Xinyue's veil, everyone will see Qu Xinyue's ugly face!
When everyone faces Qu Xinyue's ugly and scary face, how can they still be willing to spend money on Qu Xinyue?
Her slender hand reached out to Qu Xinyue, a twisted pleasure of revenge already appearing on her face.
When Xianxian approached, Qu Xinyue had already noticed Xianxian's intention.
But she had already decided to reveal her true face, and now that Miss Xianxian had taken action, she might as well go with the flow.
The veil was caught off guard by Xianxian, and she pulled it hard, and the veil was pulled off.
As the veil fell, there was a sound of gasps.
hiss--
It is rare to see such a uniform and shocking scene of pumping gas.
The spectators in the teahouse were a little far away.
The first feeling was that I was dazzled by Qu Xinyue’s glowing white face.
Then I realized what kind of face this was. It was amazing!
They even wanted to see more clearly, so they all leaned half of their bodies out of the window.
In the private room of the dandy young men who had raised money to buy thirty hairpins for Qu Xinyue, all of them looked at Qu Xinyue blankly, as if they had never seen the world before.
Who can tell them how someone can transform into a fairy?
suck-
Gumbling—
Some people couldn't help swallowing.
This beautiful face really has a huge impact on people.
If we say that Xianxian is pure yet a bit charming.
Now, after seeing Qu Xinyue's face, I realized that true purity is not pretended, but is naturally revealed in this beautiful face.
And the charm was as if Qu Xinyue was standing there quietly, revealing it inadvertently with a turn of her eyes and a curl of her lips.
This kind of natural charm is so alluring that people don't even realize it, and this is the most deadly thing!
A dandy boy: "It's over, I want to get married."
Another dandy boy: "No, if you don't want to, Brother Nan Ze can kill you!"
The playboys who were obsessed with looking at Qu Xinyue were suddenly startled and woke up instantly.
Not to mention Nan Ze, the black-hearted brother, even Prince Cang Zhao and General Yan seem to treat Miss Qu differently, right?
Anyone here can kill everyone present in seconds.
The group of playboys who had just started to feel excited, all became dejected.
Not far away, in Yu Wen Qingzhou's private room, they were also discussing Qu Xinyue's beauty.
However, Yu Wen Qingzhou, who was drinking quietly alone, was not among those discussing the matter.
"Tsk tsk, to be honest, this is the first time I've seen someone who looks as good as our young master."
"It's really rare to see." After saying that, he carefully glanced at his son, but saw that his son looked uninterested, and immediately sighed and shook his head.
Since you are such a selfless person, what will you do in the future?
Yes, that is, having no desires and no demands. Although the young master is willing to eat meals prepared by top chefs now, that is only for the sake of survival.
At this time, on Yuhua Terrace, Xianxian, who was feeling proud of her revenge, finally realized that something was wrong.
Why do people look at Qu Xinyue as if they are frightened by her ugliness?
She took two steps forward in confusion and looked at Qu Xinyue's face.
What caught her eye were eyebrows like a crescent moon, eyes like autumn water, red lips and white teeth, and skin like cream. Even if she had hostile intentions towards Qu Xinyue, she had to admit it.
Qu Xinyue is so beautiful that it makes people's hearts flutter...
Others who were in a trance included Prince Cang Zhao and Qi Yao.
It was the first time that Cang Zhao saw Qu Xinyue without any scars on her face.
Looking at this flawless face, he couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
Qi Yao's heart couldn't help but pounding, and he could even feel the blood in his veins rushing to his heart.
The Nan family's steward standing by had a look of sudden realization on his face.
No wonder my young master is still obsessed with Miss Qu. Even if he leaves Beijing, he has to instruct his master to take good care of Miss Qu.
……
"She is so beautiful..."
Ruoxue heard Yunyun's low murmur beside her.
There was jealousy and envy in his tone.
Ruoxue was also surprised that Qu Xinyue's appearance was beyond everyone's expectations. While she couldn't help feeling jealous, she actually came up with a way to attract Yuwen Qingzhou without making any noise.
Qu Xinyue is so popular now. There is no doubt that after today, Qu Xinyue's good name will be heard throughout Kyoto.
What if she could prove today that she was more talented than Qu Xinyue?
Now, all the popularity created by Qu Xinyue will become a stepping stone for Ruoxue!
Thinking of this, Ruoxue stood up suddenly and said to Yunyun in a hurry: "Yunyun, Xianxian and I have some friendship. I will go to help her. You stay here first. I will be back soon."
Miss Yunyun was a little confused when she heard this. When did Ruoxue become friends with Xianxian from Huamanlou?
Didn’t you tell her about Hua Manlou’s little secrets before?
But before she could ask clearly, Ruoxue had already left in a hurry.
……
Ruoxue was afraid that she was too slow and let Qu Xinyue leave, and she would miss a great opportunity.
Fortunately, when she arrived, Qu Xinyue was just about to walk down Yuhuatai.
Ruoxue took two steps at a time and went onto the stage to help up Xianxian, who was deeply shocked and in a daze.
She looked righteous and defended her sister: "Miss Qu, are you leaving just like that?"
Qu Xinyue turned around and noticed Ruoxue who was holding Xianxian, and asked, "What else?"
Cang Zhao and Qi Yao couldn't help but frown and look at Ruoxue.
Ruoxue couldn't help but break out in a sweat on her back as Cang Zhao and Qi Yao stared at her.
But thinking about Yuwen Qingzhou, he mustered up the courage and continued speaking.
"I'm Ruoxue from Yaqing Pavilion. I'm a good sister to Xianxian. I can't stand you bullying her like this. Now I want to compete with you. Do you dare?"
Qu Xinyue said calmly: "Not interested."
She saw something called ambition in the eyes of this girl named Ruoxue.
Only a fool would be willing to be a stepping stone for others!
Although Qu Xinyue feels that her skills have been maxed out and she shouldn't be a stepping stone, it would be better to spend this time cultivating her relationship with Cang Zhao and Qi Yao!
Ruoxue saw that Qu Xinyue didn't take the bait, and she became anxious. She said hastily, "There's a rouge shop on South Street. If I lose, that rouge shop is yours!"
Qu Xinyue paused.
The rouge shop on South Street?
Hiss, this Ruoxue is really rich!
"Sure." Qu Xinyue curled her lips. She would rather take the shop that was offered to her.
Ruoxue breathed a sigh of relief: "Then how about we compete in cooking? After all, cooking is one of the skills that we women must learn, right?"
Qu Xinyue raised her eyebrows: "Okay." It seems like you came prepared.
Ruoxue thought Qu Xinyue would disagree and even bargain, but she didn't expect her to agree so readily.
She glanced at Cang Zhao and General Yan beside Qu Xinyue and took a deep breath.
"But I hope that those who voted for Miss Qu just now will no longer participate in this competition between me and Miss Qu."
Ruoxue was confident that she could win and would definitely attract Yuwen Qingzhou's attention.
But who wouldn't want to win something beautiful?
If it were just Prince Cang Zhao and General Yan, plus the wealthy Master Nan Ze contributing money, I'm afraid few people would be able to defeat Qu Xinyue.
Qu Xinyue found it more and more interesting, and nodded very politely: "Okay."
Cang Zhao and Qi Yao both looked at Ruoxue unhappily.
Qi Yao whispered to Qu Xinyue, "Why are you paying attention to her? She seems to be asking for more."
Qu Xinyue shook her head in amusement: "It's a shop on South Street!"
Before Qi Yao opened his mouth, the Nan family's steward couldn't wait to step forward and speak in a flattering manner.
"It's not easy for Miss Qu to find a shop on South Street. I'll let my young master take you there to pick one."
Qi Yao frowned, feeling that the fat steward was a bit annoying.
It seems like everyone has a few shops.
The Nan family's steward was feeling very happy, and was ready to take credit when Master Nan Ze came back.
He didn't know Qi Yao's dissatisfaction and complaints about him, otherwise he would have to say that others only had a few shops, but the Nan family's shops were spread all over the country.
Manager Nan, feeling very happy, began to ask Ruoxue responsibly.
"Miss Ruoxue, since you have set new rules, can you tell us about the new voting method?"
He had already made up his mind that if Miss Ruoxue's request was too excessive, he would spray all the dirty words he had accumulated for fifty years against his relatives in her face.
Ruoxue already had a plan and an excuse.
"How about we each make a dish, then take it to the private room of the teahouse across the street, randomly select eleven guests to taste it, and let the guests who tasted it vote as the final decision?"
Qu Xinyue didn't expect Ruoxue's voting method to sound fair and just.
She nodded in agreement.
The two asked people to go to a nearby restaurant to buy or rent some cooking utensils, seasonings, ingredients, etc.
The chubby manager Nan immediately recommended himself to Qu Xinyue, offering to help solve these problems.
When Qu Xinyue saw that Manager Nan was the kind of person who was very experienced and tactful in handling matters, she entrusted the matter to him with confidence.
Manager Nan was indeed reliable. He went directly to the nearby Nan family restaurant, ordered all the necessary items, and returned in a grand manner, escorted by the restaurant's waiters.
He ordered people to put up the pots and pans, and then he ran to Qu Xinyue to report.
"Miss Qu, I don't know what dish you want to cook, so I brought some common ingredients here."
Qu Xinyue took a look at the common ingredients in Manager Nan's mouth and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
Everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the water is here!
Especially abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, fish maw... these wild delicacies and dried goods are all available, they are really simple and common.
Ruoxue on the other side was also ready.
Seeing that Ruoxue had prepared charcoal, a jar, pork, fragrant rice, etc., Qu Xinyue already knew that Ruoxue was going to cook.
The skin should be bright red, the meat should be tender and the soup should be thick. The characteristics are that the meat is cooked and tender without losing its shape, the taste is fat but not greasy, and the color is rosy and bright.
This dish is simmered over a low flame of charcoal and has a rich aroma. It enjoys a high reputation, and because the meat is simmered in a porcelain jar, it is named "jar meat".
It looks like it will take Ruoxue quite a while to make this dish.
Coincidentally, Qu Xinyue also decided to make a dish with an even more overbearing taste - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
The real Buddha Jumps Over the Wall needs to be simmered for six hours and thirty minutes.
But the simplified version may not take that long.
