Chapter Forty-Seven: Engagement



The three of them discussed it for a long time, and Ru Xue suggested, "How about we prepare a cloak for the Second Master that he can wear for the imperial examination? It's February, and the weather is so cold. If he doesn't wear something thick, he'll easily get sick. There are still quite a few furs in the Gege's storeroom, which would come in handy."

Rulan suggested, "Besides the cloak, you can also prepare food and writing materials for the exam. The imperial examination lasts for three days, and you won't be able to leave for three days. You'll be eating and sleeping inside. It's freezing cold, and you'll definitely feel uncomfortable if you don't eat well."

Upon hearing this, Tong Cheng'er had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea. She didn't know how to make clothes, and the craftsmanship of the people in her own courtyard was not as good as that of her mother's courtyard, so she would not join in the fun of making cloaks. However, she could put some effort into making food.

Over the years, she had a tough life, so she did a lot of part-time jobs and learned many skills. She worked odd jobs in restaurants and even worked in fast food processing plants during her winter and summer vacations.

She has some experience with fast food like instant noodles. Although she has been lazy for more than ten years, she can still remember the working principle of instant noodles.

Tong Cheng'er imagined that while others in the examination hall were eating snacks and dry rations, her second brother would be eating fragrant instant noodles with soup. That scene would surely make others drool with envy.

Thinking this to herself, Tong Cheng'er said to Ru Lan, "Go to the kitchen and find two cooks. I have something for them to do. Remember, find those who are quick-witted and efficient."

Rulan: Yes

After Rulan left, Ruxue asked, "What does Princess intend to do with this?"

Tong Cheng'er smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes."

Rulan went to the kitchen and said that the princess needed two cooks to help her. Many people rushed to sign up, but Rulan finally chose two steady, honest, and clever girls to bring back.

"Princess, the cook has arrived."

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Well done."

The two cooks bowed to Tong Cheng'er: "Your servants Juxiang and Xiufen greet Your Highness."

"Get up!"
