After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 127 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong

One was the Marquis of Wu'an, and the other was his unmarried sister.

Without even thinking, just by looking at this woman's age, one can guess that she is the sister of Marquis Wu'an.

As the sister of Marquis Wu'an, the identity of her close friend is naturally not simple either.

Sima Mengjun felt a little regretful; their social statuses were too different, so they naturally couldn't become friends.

However, the others saw through her thoughts but didn't care about their different statuses.

"Of course, you can come to our residence if you want to visit us."

"Really?!" Sima Mengjun was pleasantly surprised.

Then the group introduced themselves and each other.

Girls make friends so easily.

They chatted for a while, and then it was time for the book appreciation session.

Sun Xianren walked in again from the corridor.

There is a pavilion connecting to the water in the courtyard. White plum blossoms and jade bamboo stand on both sides of the courtyard, arranged in a staggered manner. The long corridor is connected by cedar planks. Sun Xianren walked to the wooden platform by the lake. There were seats on the platform. The lake was frozen. If you look closely, you can vaguely see koi fish swimming under the ice by leaning against the railing of the platform.

Lan Sinian and Guan Yan walked to Sun Xianren's side. Now everyone understood why Guan Yan had become Sun Xianren's disciple. Liang Suxin and Bai Zunxing then realized why they had met Guan Yan at the book appreciation event.

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Sun Xianren directly announced the start of the book appreciation event.

Sun Xianren's biggest regret this time was that he was unable to invite Mr. Wuming.

After Sun Xianren announced the start of the book appreciation session, everyone picked up their books.

This is a newly released story, a serialized novel that everyone has been waiting for.

At this moment, someone in the crowd said, "Before I found out I was coming to the book appreciation event, I watched the previous episodes again."

"I don't need to. I take out Mr. Wuming's stories every few days to read them. I've memorized them perfectly."

"Everyone is welcome to discuss!" Sun Xianren said again upon seeing this.

At this moment, everyone opened "Between Square Inches".

This is a well-known secret among everyone at the book appreciation club: you read the short stories first, and then the serialized stories are brought to the book appreciation club for everyone to read and discuss together.

The first chapter of this serialized story describes how Luo Nanzhi was knocked unconscious by the wealthy man and "packed up" and taken into the prefect's mansion.

The wealthy man feared that Luo Nanzhi would not cooperate, so he used this to blackmail her, saying that if she didn't please the prefect and his wife in the prefect's mansion, then her father and husband would have no reason to live in this world.

For their sake, Luo Nanzhi had no choice but to swallow her anger.

Luo Nanzhi suddenly arrived at the prefect's mansion and was assigned to the kitchen by the steward.

The prefect's mansion has several chefs, famous chefs from various places, all to improve the prefect's wife's meals so that she can eat more.

They looked down on Luo Nanzhi, the newcomer, because she looked young and obviously didn't have as much cooking experience as they did; she was just a young girl.

Young women, who are not skilled at cooking, would resort to tricks and make dishes that the governor's wife would like.

The dishes that the prefect's wife truly enjoyed depended on their culinary skills.

Therefore, they looked down on Luo Nanzhi completely. When the steward in the prefect's mansion said that he would take better care of her, he verbally agreed but in reality did not care at all.

Moreover, they were very unfriendly to Luo Nanzhi, often ordering her around and preventing her from touching the stove.

If we don't want to make contact, then so be it. Anyway, Luo Nanzhi was forced to come to the prefect's mansion, so she can only endure the bullying from these people.

……

“These people are truly despicable. Luo Nanzhi is just a commoner, yet she is threatened and bullied even after entering the prefect’s mansion.”

"What skills do these chefs have? Their dishes don't even please the magistrate's wife, yet they look down on people."

"To be fair, Luo Nanzhi is indeed young and inexperienced, and cannot be compared with these chefs who have been working for half their lives. However, Luo Nanzhi is innovative. Once you enter the prefect's mansion, you have to start as a servant."

"Are you alright? Luo Nanzhi is a chef sent by the master, after all. These people dare to treat the people sent by their distinguished guests so blatantly. Just wait and see what happens to them."

"I love watching the female lead teach these arrogant people a lesson. It's so satisfying to watch! Let them see her cooking skills and amaze everyone around her!"

Some people are happy to see this happen and can't wait to see the female lead teach these self-righteous chefs a lesson. The harder she slaps them in the face, the more exciting it is for them.

Sun Xianren, sitting in the main seat, held a book in one hand and leisurely sipped tea, showing no sign of the restlessness of the people below, but he was actually engrossed in reading it.

In fact, no one expected that Sun Xianren, who had achieved great success in the Jin Dynasty, would like to read vernacular stories, and would even hold a book appreciation event specifically for this lowbrow story that was not recognized by many literati.

I heard that the book appreciation event organized by Sun Xianren was severely criticized by literary circles.

It's not that other writers didn't read it, but they were very stubborn.

He clearly read Mr. Wuming's storybook, but he refused to admit it, as if it would be a loss of face to say it.

Sun Xianren, however, paid no attention to any of this and resolutely decided to hold this book appreciation event, requiring all his students and disciples to attend and read the book.

Sun Xianren had a premonition that this book contained some hidden secrets, and that everyone should appreciate it together. He believed that the future trend would inevitably change because of this book, after all, the Wen Ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel) and the honeycomb briquette were examples of this.

Others laughed at Sun Xianren for being foolish, but Sun Xianren laughed at others for being stupid.

After discussing for a while, everyone continued reading the storybook.

Although Luo Nanzhi had been at the prefect's mansion for over a month, she had never been able to touch the stove and had been doing all sorts of odd jobs. The chefs were afraid that her skills would be learned by others, so they didn't let her stay in the kitchen when they were cooking.

Even so, the governor's wife still didn't really like the dishes they made.

Seeing that his wife had lost weight again, the prefect flew into a rage and summoned all the chefs to the main hall for a severe scolding.

"If you don't cook some of the dishes that Madam likes, there's no need for this household to support you!"

A group of people acted arrogantly in front of Luo Nanzhi, but didn't dare to utter a single word in front of the prefect.

But after he had lost his temper, the prefect suddenly remembered someone. He looked towards the middle of the kitchen and asked the steward standing to the side.

"What happened to the chef that the wealthy man sent to his residence last time?!"

But after shouting for a long time, no one stepped forward.

The prefect immediately understood, so he ordered his steward to summon Luo Nanzhi to the main hall.

Meanwhile, the chefs standing timidly to the side couldn't help but sweat.
