Li Xiaonan got off the car at the entrance of Cailian Lane, entered the courtyard gate, stuffed two oil paper bags into the arms of Third Sister, and entered the kitchen one after another with Third Sister.
Li Yinzhu put the oil-paper bag on the dining table, opened it carefully, and exclaimed in surprise: "What is this? It's so fragrant and sweet! This is mutton, I've eaten it once, and it's very fragrant!"
Li Yinzhu licked her lips.
"That one is called peanut cake. Their food is delicious, try it." Li Xiaonan sat on a small stool at the entrance of the stove.
"Let's eat together when the eldest sister and the others come back!" Li Yinzhu carefully wrapped the oil paper bag and put it on the plate, "There is mutton and peanut cake. There is no need to scramble the eggs today, but I have already cut the leeks." Li Yinzhu frowned and looked at the large handful of leeks that had just been cut.
After eating fried leeks with eggs, Li Yinzhu felt that fried leeks without eggs were too unpalatable.
"How about we bake leek zygotes!" Li Yinzhu looked at Li Xiaonan and said with a smile.
"Okay, then you have to put two eggs, otherwise it won't taste good." Li Xiaonan was a little distracted.
"One is enough. Adjust the flavor. There's so much mutton." Li Yinzhu hurriedly made the noodles.
When making pancakes with leek noodles, you need to use leavened flour, not only to save noodles. Li Yinzhu thinks that using leavened noodles to make pancakes is softer and more delicious than dead noodles, and the eldest sister also said the same.
"Light the fire." Li Yinzhu added two ladles of water to the pot and signaled to Li Xiaonan.
It will be dark in more than half an hour, and if you want this noodle to rise, you have to sit in hot water to stir it up.
Li Xiaonan lit the fire, picked two thin sticks of firewood, let Li Yinzhu take a look at them, and put them into the stove. After the two sticks of firewood were burned, the water was just right hot.
Li Yinzhu also made the noodles, covered the basin, put it in the pot, covered the pot, and started selecting leeks.
Li Xiaonan held her chin, watching Li Yinzhu choose the leeks without focus, and slowly, bit by bit, thought about what happened on the road just now.
The prince knew that her brother secretly gave her eggs to eat. Even the eldest sister and the others were not very clear about this. How did he know?
The prince even asked her: Where did your inspiration for writing poetry go?
Li Xiaonan shivered slightly.
There is only one possibility, that the prince knew the little grandmother from before.
If she hadn't come over, the little grandma would still be the same little grandma as before, the elder brother would definitely not be able to pass the examination as a scholar, they would definitely still be in Xiaoli Village, and the third uncle's family might have found an opportunity to kill the elder brother.
If the brother dies, the sisters will have to listen to the arrangements of the clan, which means they will fall into the hands of the third uncle...
San Auntie has already met the little grandma with her teeth...
Only by being sold as a slave can the little grandma meet a noble person like the prince.
After all, the little grandma who writes poetry with great aptitude is considered a rare commodity.
Li Xiaonan's heart shrank into a ball.
What happened to the little grandmother and the prince before?
No matter what happened, the little grandma must have been extremely close to the prince, so close that the little grandma even told the prince that she ate her brother’s eggs!
Li Xiaonan subconsciously touched the tip of her nose.
He said he would help him choose a business that would make him rich and powerful. Before this sentence, he seemed to have said a few more words. What did he say?
Li Xiaonan slapped her face.
I was so stunned by what he said that I didn't even hear what he said next!
"Anan, are you okay?" Li Yinzhu looked at Li Xiaonan who was patting her face with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm thinking about an arithmetic problem." Li Xiaonan quickly put down her hand and put on a fake smile.
Li Yinzhu stretched his head forward, looked at it, and didn't ask any more questions.
She has asked, but Grandma didn’t tell her. If she asks again, Grandma won’t tell her. She will wait for the eldest sister to come back and let the eldest sister ask her.
Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu returned home, and the five siblings had dinner. Li Jinzhu originally planned to put away the peanut cake first. It was almost the Chinese New Year, so he just kept it to entertain guests.
But Li Xiaonan said that this peanut cake should be made and eaten immediately, and it might grow hairy if left overnight.
Such a good thing, if the hair is broken, it will be really heartbreaking!
Li Jinzhu quickly made a pot of weak tea and divided two pieces into each person.
Li Yinzhu was satisfied with the meal and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Li Yuzhu was weaving. Li Jinzhu called out Li Xiaonan, entered the side room, looked at Li Xiaonan's expression carefully, frowned and asked: "Your third sister said that you will do it as soon as you come back today."
Something’s not right, what happened?”
"No..." Li Xiaonan lowered her head and picked at her nails.
"Did that noble man bully you?" Li Jinzhu held up Li Xiaonan's face.
"Big sister, where are you thinking?" Li Xiaonan pushed away Li Jinzhu's hand, "It's something that shouldn't be talked about and needs to be kept secret. Oh, well, if you don't tell it at all, big sister will definitely be worried. Big sister
Just know it, don’t tell others."
"Well, you tell me." Li Jinzhu frowned.
"The prince noticed that I was good at arithmetic, so he asked me to teach his people arithmetic. He said that he wanted to check the taxes on the sea and canals. He said that the taxes received by the imperial court were much less, and he wanted to find out.
”
Li Xiaonan said while looking at Li Jinzhu.
Li Jinzhu frowned and listened intently, stayed for a moment, and took a breath.
"On the day your third sister got engaged, I heard the lobby uncle and Mr. Hong talking about the sea tax, saying that there was as much money as river water." Li Jinzhu said in a very low voice, "Ah, don't go, this matter is too big." "It's okay, I just teach an old gentleman named Qian, and I don't care about anything else. I think that prince is quite powerful, so it must be okay."
Li Jinzhu pursed his lips tightly and was about to speak when Li Xiaonan said first: "Sister, if I don't go, I might offend the prince. The prince is very narrow-minded, so it's better to go. I just teach arithmetic.
Don’t do anything else.”
Li Jinzhu swallowed his saliva, looked at Li Xiaonan for a while, and then said: "Anan, I told you, don't think too much, don't be too high-spirited, let's..."
Li Jinzhu choked on his words.
Now, 60% of the capital of their preserved egg shop comes from a yard of eggs given by the prince. The business of the preserved egg shop is so good. According to Sister-in-law Yin, it is all thanks to the royal family's business.
There is also Yinzhu’s marriage. The uncle in the lobby once told me that the prince came to see A-nan for the first time, and Mr. Hong happened to see it.
At least half of their good life now is due to that prince.
"Sister, it's okay, it must be okay!" Li Xiaonan held her arm.
"The eldest sister also thinks it's okay. If something happens, no matter what, the eldest sister will be with you." Li Jinzhu took a deep breath.
Now that it's like this, let's go forward. If anything happens, even if it means beheading, she can just accompany her.
At night, Li Xiaonan lay on the thick and soft quilt and used mathematical methods to calculate again: What would happen to the family if A'nan had always been the little A'nan before, and what the prince said!
Alas, no matter how you deduce it, there is only one possibility: the fate that the prince mentioned happened in the past and future, between that prince and the little grandma from before. The prince knew that she was not the little grandma from before, so he came to find her.
,What do you want to do?
The little grandma before even told the prince about eating eggs. Her relationship with the prince...
Alas, I can’t think too much.
Now, what is the purpose of that prince finding me?
Li Xiaonan turned over and huddled up.
No matter how you think about that crown prince’s purpose, it’s not a good thing!
She will never be a slave as a concubine! Even if the prince is too good-looking to be human!
From now on, she must always pay attention and guard closely!
