I made the villain right.

Shi Jin came out of Fumengxuan and went straight back home. After returning home, she asked Zhilu and the others to distribute the gifts to various places.

First, the monthly allowance increased inexplicably, and then the maids and servants in each courtyard received gifts, which caused a sensation in the general's mansion. Everyone went from not wanting to believe it at first to believing it later, and there was a lot of talk in the mansion with various explanations.

Theory 1: The eldest daughter of the general's mansion suddenly found her conscience and began to change her personality, which was a blessing for the people in the mansion.

The second theory: The eldest daughter of the general's mansion is about to reach the age of marriage, and in order to find a husband, she starts to win people's hearts and try to restore her reputation.

The third theory: When the eldest daughter of the general's mansion was practicing in the Qianshuang Sect, she met a master who gave her guidance. Her temperament changed drastically overnight, and she became compassionate and began to care about the lives and sufferings of her servants.

After Zhilu came back, he told her truthfully all the rumors about her in the mansion. She felt deeply relieved. This was exactly the effect she wanted. It was worth her spending a lot of money and energy.

Everyone's opinion of Shi Jin suddenly changed quietly, and they all felt that she had a kind face.

When Shi Jin was on her way to the kitchen, some people took the initiative to greet her with a gentle look on their faces. Unlike in the past when they were forced to do so because of her status, this was a sincere greeting.

As she left, she heard people whispering behind her.

Today, Shi Jin plans to cook fried chicken and French fries himself so that his father and brother can see the source of our happiness in real life.

When she arrived at the kitchen, the head chef was very frightened and thought that there was something wrong with what he had cooked. After confirming again and again, he realized that she wanted to use the kitchen. Since the master wanted to use the kitchen, the servants dared not disobey. The head chef saw that she was a rich girl who had never done housework and did not look like someone who could cook, so he was really worried about handing the kitchen to her, so he stood guard beside her.

Zhilu also didn't believe that she could cook any food, so if she wanted to, she would accompany her.

There was a breeze outside the kitchen, blowing up fallen leaves, one of which swayed in the wind and fell onto the windowsill.

There is a busy figure in the kitchen. She is wearing a kitchen towel with her sleeves neatly pulled up to her forearms. She is chopping vegetables carefully on the chopping board. The chopping knife and the chopping board make a dull but regular "dong dong, chi chi" sound. Her figure is shining in the sunlight, like a beautiful scenery.

A gust of wind came in from the window, and Shi Jin's black hair fluttered in the wind. A layer of determination appeared between her brows, and her face was full of seriousness and selflessness. Soon, chopped ginger, garlic, celery, and onion were placed on the table.

Her knife skills are delicate and the cuts are neat, and it's obvious that she has some cooking experience.

Shi Jin lives alone in real life and usually cooks by herself. Over time, she becomes more skilled at cooking and can now make some delicious food.

She mashed the chopped vegetables into a paste, poured them into flour and mixed them. She then added the chopped chicken to the flour and fried it in a pan. Her movements were quite graceful and she was very decisive and smooth in her movements.

The chef and Zhilu were both surprised when they saw Shi Jin cutting vegetables so skillfully.

Soon after, Shi Jin had finished cooking the fried chicken and French fries. She placed them on the table, took out the pepper that she had spent a huge amount of money to buy from her sleeve, and sprinkled it lightly on the food, injecting the soul into the fried chicken.

The kitchen is filled with the aroma of fried chicken, which whets your appetite.

The chef swallowed his saliva and looked at the fried chicken he had never seen before. A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. "Excuse me, miss, what kind of dish is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Oh, this is called fried chicken. I came up with it myself when I was bored in Qianshuangmen. It hasn't appeared on the market yet." Shi Jin was afraid that others would become suspicious, so she came up with this excuse. Anyway, she had been in Qianshuangmen for many years, and others might not be able to tell whether what she said was true or false.

"Miss, what is this?" Zhilu pointed to the French fries of the same thickness lying on the side and asked her curiously.

"Those are French fries, try them." She picked up a French fry and handed it to Zhilu. Zhilu was stunned for a moment, then took it with a smile, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully. Her eyes lit up in an instant.

“It’s delicious!”

The cook swallowed her saliva greedily when she saw this, but she didn't dare to taste it without permission since Shi Jin didn't say anything. She looked like someone who wanted to eat it but didn't dare to say it.

"Chef Chu, why don't you try it too?"

After getting permission, he quickly picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece and tasted it, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "It has a delicate texture, is crispy and delicious, and leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth."

He picked up another small piece of fried chicken and praised it highly: "Great! Great stuff! Great stuff!"

…………

Time flies and finally it's time for the tea party.

Shi Jin was already ready, having put out good wine, food and tea, waiting for Shi Wei, Shi Sheng and Zhao to arrive.

Shi Jin was waiting at the door, and soon saw them coming together.

When Shi Wei saw Shi Jin coming out to greet him personally, there was a smile in his eyes.

Zhao gave her a polite smile and nodded, and she nodded slightly in response.

Shi Sheng met Shi Jin's gaze and his eyes flickered.

Shi Jin greeted them with a smile, "Everyone is here, please come in." She led them into the yard.

Shi Jin arranged seats for them, Shi Sheng sat next to her, Shi Wei sat opposite her, and Zhao sat next to Shi Wei. After everyone took their seats, Shi Jin began to talk.

"This is the delicacy that Jin'er prepared specially for everyone today. It's called fried chicken, and the one next to it is French fries. You can try it," Shi Jin introduced, pointing to the fried chicken and French fries on the table.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the fried chicken on their table.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and tasted the food, with different expressions on their faces.

As soon as he put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, Shi Sheng's dim eyes suddenly lit up, like sparks in the dark night, and he thought to himself, this tastes good, is this really made by her?

A hint of surprise flashed across Zhao's eyes, but disappeared in an instant.

Shi Wei's eyes were filled with surprise, and he was very happy eating it. "It's crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, fragrant but not greasy, delicious and tasty. I didn't expect Jin'er to have such a good cooking skill. Dad is very surprised."

"As long as Daddy enjoys the meal," she said obediently.

"When did my sister learn how to cook? She can even make two unprecedented delicacies?" Shi Sheng couldn't help but wonder.

"I learned cooking skills at Qianshuang Pavilion, and I came up with these two dishes on my own at Qianshuang Pavilion, so it's normal that Big Brother hasn't heard of it."

When Wei heard this, a layer of anger flashed across his face, "Didn't Qianshuang Pavilion provide you with meals? You were asked to cook for yourself?"

Shi Wei's expression suddenly changed, which surprised everyone.

Shi Jin was stunned. What kind of logic was her father using? Just because she could cook meant that she would be treated harshly in Qianshuang Pavilion.

She explained: "No, I just learned it when I had nothing to do, and no one dared to treat me harshly."

"That's good," Shi Wei said in a deep voice, with an imperceptible dark light flashing in his eyes.

"Jin'er has been away from home for four years and has rarely had the opportunity to spend time with everyone. Today, I invite everyone to sit together and chat in order to enhance our relationship. Please don't be restrained."

When he heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in Wei's eyes, and a feeling of guilt rose in his heart. He blinked and smiled lightly, "Jin'er is thoughtful. Daddy thinks that your idea of ​​opening that... tea party is very meaningful, and you did a good job, don't you agree?"

He glanced at everyone, with a naked threat in his eyes, as if to say that if you dared to say no, you would be dead.

As expected of my father, he is very supportive.

"Very good." Shi Sheng gave a wry smile.

Zhao smiled gently and said in a gentle and virtuous manner: "If the master thinks it is good, then it is good."

Shi Jin put on a look of regret and said, "In the past, Jin'er acted willfully and made everyone worry about her. It was all Jin'er's fault. In order to show everyone's tolerance for Jin'er, Jin'er prepared gifts for everyone today."

She poured a glass of fruit wine, raised the glass to toast everyone, and then drank it in one gulp.

Then he signaled Zhilu to bring up the gifts. Zhilu moved at the sound, and the maids behind her put out the gifts one after another.

"Dad, Jin'er knows that you love drinking tea, so I'll buy you Biluochun tea and make you a piece of clothing." Shi Jin walked to Shi Wei and introduced everything to him one by one.

Shi Wei looked at the gift in front of him and smiled, "Great, Jin'er is thoughtful."

Shi Sheng stared at Shi Wei with a hint of envy in his eyes and a sour feeling in his heart. After a moment, he looked away proudly and pretended to be indifferent.

Shi Jin then walked towards Zhao Xuan. She took a wooden box in her hand, handed it to Zhao Xuan and said, "I don't know what you like, Auntie. I think Fu Mengxuan's hairpin is nice, so I bought it for you. I hope you like it."

Zhao Xuan was flattered. She stood up from her seat, took the wooden box she handed over, opened it, and raised her eyebrows slightly. What was going on? Was she trying to win people's hearts?

A faint light flashed across Zhao Xuan's eyes. She looked at the hairpin in the wooden box with a look of embarrassment and shame on her face. She returned the wooden box to Shi Jin and said, "How can I let you spend money? I came here empty-handed..."

Shi Jin smiled kindly and said, "You are too polite, Auntie. This is what I should do."

"Okay, I'll take it then," she accepted it reluctantly.

Shi Sheng saw Shi Jin walking towards him and coughed slightly.

Shi Jin found it a little funny. Shi Sheng obviously cared about his sister, but he pretended to be indifferent. What a stubborn person he was.

Shi Jin smiled and said softly: "Brother, I made you angry a few days ago, so I bought you a gift to please you."

She asked two maids to bring the finished clothes and inkstone to him.

Shi Sheng raised his eyes and saw a white robe with fine workmanship and bamboo and flying cranes embroidered on the collar and belt on the wooden tray. On the other side was a jade inkstone. It was obvious that the person who gave the gift had put a lot of effort in preparing it.

Shi Jin waved his hand to signal the maid to leave, and saw the maid retreat.

Shi Jin sat down in her seat, she leaned half of her body closer to him, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I was wrong a few days ago. I shouldn't have acted to make you angry."

Shi Sheng also lowered his voice to cooperate with her, and asked in confusion: "Acting?" Shi Sheng knew that Shi Jin had brought the Second Prince down to let him watch this play, but he thought she really took human life lightly, and he didn't know that she was acting. So he deliberately avoided her these few days just to make her reflect more.

Shi Jin nodded sincerely, patted Shi Sheng's shoulder gently, and whispered, "Of course. I asked you to bring the Second Prince down that day just to put on an act for him. I didn't really hit anyone. Brother, you have to believe me, your sister. I have changed my ways and become a new person now."

Shi Jin patted his chest as if to make a promise.

Shi Sheng suddenly recalled that when he returned home today, he heard many rumors about Shi Jin. He asked: "So you raised the monthly salary for the servants in the mansion and bought them gifts?"

"Yes, after all, I had a bad reputation before. If I want to change everyone's opinion of me, I must first give them some sweet treats to show my sincerity in changing for the better."

"Reputation is not something that can be achieved overnight, so don't worry too much. As long as you are determined to change, your reputation will gradually improve in the future," he comforted her.

Shi Wei looked at the brother and sister getting along harmoniously, and he smiled peacefully. This time, Jin'er's personality was more lively and lovely than before, and she was also much more sensible. Unlike before, her eyes always had a hint of hostility, making others afraid to approach. If he didn't know that this was his daughter, he would have thought she was an imposter.
