She Is From The Countryside

"Miss Shi, why do you keep staring at this box? Is there something wrong?"

It has been a day and two nights since Shi Yan finished eating the pastries in the box. He got up this morning and had breakfast, and Xiao Zhao saw Shi Yan sitting in the living room staring at the pastry box on the coffee table in front of him. speak out.

Shi Yan only looked away from the pastry box after hearing the sound.

Smiling and shaking his head.

Then he went back to staring at the pastry case.

Although Xiao Zhao had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any further questions, and changed the topic: "Missy went out to a friend's appointment yesterday, but she probably won't go today. Are you and missy going out to play today?"

Jiang Rui had an appointment yesterday, so Shi Yan didn't go out. He either stayed in the study and read a book all day, or sat in the living room staring at the cleaned pastry box in a daze.

"Shouldn't be going."

In this place of Haicheng, Jiang Rui, who can play, has almost taken her to play.

Of course, Jiang Rui took her to some relatively normal places, such as bars and clubs. Jiang Rui felt that she didn't match Shi Yan's temperament, so she never took her there.

Naturally, Shi Yan didn't like going to those places either.

"Then what are your plans for today?"

"There is no arrangement for the time being. Sister Zhao, you don't have to worry about me. Just go to work if you have anything to do. I will call you if necessary."

Hearing what she said, Xiao Zhao smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, I have something to do today. Isn't my brother hospitalized? I'm going to visit him in the hospital. It's just that my father has to go to work, and my mother has been in the hospital for a few days. God, I have to go back to rest, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until night."

"Sister Zhao just go, I'm such an adult, I can take care of myself."

In fact, she only came to the Jiang family at the beginning. When she was not very familiar with the Jiang family, it was more convenient to have someone by her side. Now that she has lived in the Jiang family for a while, she is familiar with everything she should be familiar with. Jiang Rui is here, she doesn't need someone to take care of her all the time.

She mentioned this to Xiao Zhao, and asked Xiao Zhao to just focus on his work, but Xiao Zhao insisted that her job was to take care of her, so Shi Yan didn't insist.

"Then I'll go to the hospital first? Miss Shi, remember to call me if you have something urgent. If you have something urgent, go to the old lady's yard to find her. The old lady is at home."

Shi Yan smiled and nodded.

After Xiao Zhao left, Shi Yan was the only one left in this small courtyard.

I thought that Jiang Rui would come to see her, but soon after, I received a call from Jiang Rui, saying that her mother's friend had a tea party and asked her to accompany her. She asked Shi Yan if she wanted to come together, but Shi Yan refused.

Jiang Rui would go to this kind of small gathering of the daughters of high-class ladies almost every few days, and it was often held by different people. There have been a few shows on the third floor.

Some time ago, Jiang Rui played around with Shi Yan, and she had missed it a few times, so she couldn't refuse to go.

Shi Yan is not interested in this kind of small gathering of high-class ladies and daughters, and once she goes, her name may soon spread throughout the upper-class circles of Haicheng.

She doesn't want to be so high-profile.

"Xiao Yan, are you okay at home alone? I went out to a friend's appointment yesterday and left you alone at home." Jiang Rui's apologetic voice came from the phone.

"It's okay, go get busy if you have something to do. You know, I can read all day long. Besides, Grandma Jiang is at home. If I'm bored, I'll talk to her."

"Then if you're bored, remember to go to grandma, or go for a walk. Don't always be bored in the study and read books. You don't always go out. It's easy to get bored."

Shi Yan wanted to say that it was someone else, not her.

She just likes to read quietly by herself.

She will not become dull and unadapted to the outside world because she often stays in the house and reads a book. As long as she thinks about it, she can adapt to any environment, and her temperament will not be easily affected by the environment. Otherwise she lived alone for so many years,

Nor will he still be the same person with the same temperament, which has not changed in the slightest.

"I know, don't worry."

"Xiao Yan, do you really not want to go with me? Although the tea parties are all the same and boring, for those who don't go often, it's still very fresh, and you can meet a lot of people."

In other words, it is a good place to expand your network.

It's just that Jiang Rui didn't speak so bluntly.

Jiang Rui thought that if Shi Yan went with him, it would be good for Shi Yan, but she also knew that Shi Yan's character should not like that kind of occasion, so she didn't say it outright.

How could Shi Yan fail to recognize Jiang Rui's kindness.

He didn't brush it off directly, and said: "Next time, I will go next time when I have a chance. I don't really want to go out today."

She said so, and Jiang Rui didn't insist anymore.

After chatting for a few more words, I hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yan did not go back to the study. She slid down from the sofa and squatted on the ground, leaning her hands on the wooden coffee table and staring at the pastry box for a while, then suddenly picked up the phone and got up to leave. A small courtyard.

Go to the main building.

Go straight to the kitchen.

"Miss Shi, do you need anything?" The servant in charge of the kitchen saw her and rushed forward to ask.

"I want to borrow the kitchen, is it convenient?"

"It's convenient, what's the inconvenience? It's just that Miss Shi, are you going to eat? Just tell the kitchen what you want to eat, and we will do it."

"No, I want to do it myself."

"Then, then I'll be right here. If Miss Shi needs anything, just call me."

The servant didn't dare to leave, not because she was worried that Shi Yan couldn't cook. After all, it was no secret that Shi Yan had lived alone in the countryside for many years. If she didn't know how to cook, she would have starved to death long ago.

The servant was worried that Shi Yan would not be able to use the cooking utensils in the kitchen. There was still a difference between the cooking utensils in Jiang's kitchen and the cooking utensils in the rural farmhouse.

She was also worried that Shi Yan didn't know where the ingredients and seasonings were.

"Okay, thank you." Shi Yan bent her eyebrows and smiled, her smile was light and bright, and she immediately dazzled the servant's eyes.

It is said that Ms. Shi's family background is not good, she is far from enough to match the elder and younger, even if the old lady likes her, she is not worthy of entering the Jiang family, but she thinks that Ms. Shi is very good!

Among other things, in terms of appearance and temperament, few people can compare with Miss Shi. Miss Shi's tea party often invites rich and famous ladies in the circle, and she looks at those people as inferior to Miss Shi.

The servant thought she could help, but Shi Yan didn't expect that except for asking her where the few ingredients were at the beginning, everything went smoothly afterwards.

She cooks with ease.

Not only is it not like the first contact with these modern cooking utensils, but she is also very comfortable with cooking.

After a while, there was a fragrance in the kitchen.

She cooked two dishes, one soup and one medicinal meal.

The Jiang family in Haicheng is a big family, and the ingredients in the kitchen are naturally sufficient. Even Shi Yan can find the corresponding ingredients for relatively unpopular medicinal meals.

Of course, this may have something to do with Mrs. Jiang often asking the kitchen to prepare medicinal meals for her.

After the soup and herbal food were cooked and put into a food box, Shi Yan thanked her and left the main building.

The servants were very curious about whether she would eat these things herself or give them to someone, but after all, their professionalism did not allow them to ask.

Shi Yan, who had done all this, carried the food box but didn't go back to the small courtyard where she lived, but went straight to the direction of the bamboo garden.

The doorbell rang.

Jiang Lin was a little surprised to see the person outside the gate of Zhuyuan through surveillance: "Fifth Master, it's Miss Shi Yan."

The person sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper quickly raised his head upon hearing this, revealing his overly good-looking face. The face was clear and gentle, and there seemed to be an unknown emotion flashing in the depths of those deep eyes.

Put down the newspaper and say, "Please come in."

His expression and tone were as usual, and there was no sign of happiness or anger, but in fact, his words of "inviting people in" were abnormal in themselves.
