The next morning, there were six plates of dumplings on the Li family's breakfast table, as well as cold cucumbers and stir-fried lettuce.
There are three kinds of fillings in the dumplings, cabbage and pork filling, beef and green onion filling, and mutton and carrot filling.
Last night, Yan Mu lived with Li Heng and Li Huai. It wasn't because he couldn't live in the back house, but because he admired Li Heng and wanted to stay with him for a while. But he didn't expect that the state of the two brothers at night made him
I miss my two brothers in Beijing.
Early in the morning, while the two brothers Li Heng were practicing in the courtyard, he wrote letters to his brother and father in the capital.
"Please, Mr. Li, please send someone to the inn to help me send the letter back to the capital."
Li Hui took the letter with both hands, handed it to Dexi, and asked him to take the main seat.
Yan Mu, who has always been interested in eating, rarely gets to eat home-cooked dishes and dumplings like this. After all, no matter who he goes to as a guest, it is always as exquisite as it is. Unlike the Li family, which maintains its original style.
.
After trying all three kinds of stuffing, he liked them all.
Seeing that he was not picky about food at all, Li Hui couldn't help but chuckled:
"The Third Highness, like Qinglin, doesn't pick anything. He's really easy to entertain."
Yan Mu smiled when he heard this, put a dumpling in a bowl, and said:
"It's not that I'm not picky. The main thing is that your cook is really good at it."
Li Huai immediately quit after hearing this, shook his head and corrected:
"Your Highness has misunderstood. The filling of these dumplings was made by my mother, not by the cook. I can eat it as soon as I eat it."
"Does your mother make breakfast for you every day?" Yan Mu asked in surprise.
Li Huai shook his head and said realistically:
"My mother doesn't cook often. She usually cooks when my father comes back from a trip, or my brother comes back from a trip, or my mother is in a good mood today. Oh, and when Uncle Qinglin comes home, my mother
I can also cook. Uncle Qinglin likes to eat the food cooked by my mother the most."
"I like to eat too." The third prince responded with a smile.
I always felt that Xiao Qinglin was a bit strange in the past, but now it seems that he is really not. This kind of ordinary warm breakfast is still delicious.
"Your Highness, if you like to eat, you can come here often, and we can borrow your favor." Li Heng invited half-jokingly.
Marshal Xiao said that an honest and good official like his father must have a backer, otherwise he will be framed by traitors. Although he did not want to ask the third prince to do anything for the family, as long as he could eat more meals from the family and owe more favors.
, I will never stand by and watch my father in the future.
Li Heng's age is simply very young in Yan Mu's eyes. If someone else said this, he would have to think carefully about it.
"Okay, when I come back from my busy work, I will try Mrs. Li's cooking again. I heard from cousin Qinglin that you can barbecue at home, it's very delicious."
"There are also grilled skewers, that one is delicious too." Li Huai told him like he was offering a treasure, not forgetting to swallow his saliva.
His greedy appearance immediately made Li Hui and Yan Mu laugh.
Li Heng silently slapped his forehead and scolded him:
"It's not shameful to eat meat, but you're still greedy for meat."
"That's not the same, the taste is different." Li Huai defended himself.
One is baked and the other is boiled, there is definitely a difference in taste.
Just talking and laughing like this, Yan Mu had a very satisfying breakfast at Li's house.
Before leaving, Cheng Xue came over with a food box and handed it to him:
"Your Highness, please don't dislike it. There are hazelnut cakes and pine nut cakes inside. I also cooked some tea eggs for you to take with you to eat on the way."
It was not that Yan Mu had never received a gift from an official, but this was the first time that the Li family had given something as ordinary as this.
He has eaten tea eggs before. They are salty and have the aroma of tea. They are cheap and delicious.
Surprised but also somewhat warm, I personally took the food box.
"Thank you, Mrs. Li, for preparing it. I like it very much. Will I be lucky enough to eat the barbecue you made when I come back? Cousin Qinglin said it is very delicious."
"Okay, my wife is waiting for Your Highness at home. Then we will go to the mountains for more wild fun."
"Well, it all depends on Madam."
"Your Highness, you're welcome."
Cheng Xue completely regarded him as Xiao Qinglin. Men who love to eat are soft-hearted. This prince will definitely become a good prince who cares about the people in the future.
The family watched the third prince go away, and Li Heng urged Li Huai to pack his things quickly. He did not forget to send his younger brother to school today, but the time was obviously not very relaxed. Fortunately, the school was not far from home, so they could just leave quickly.
Li Huai was not in a high mood during the trip, and his mouth was pouting. He arrived without even chatting with his brother, so he was unhappy.
Li Heng looked at his younger brother who was standing motionless at the door of the school, knowing that this was an awkward situation.
She patiently knelt down and pinched his face.
"Good boy, don't be upset. Brother will bring you food at noon and have lunch with you, okay?"
"Really? Brother, you're not tricking me?"
"Brother, why did I lie to you before? Come in quickly and come at noon. I will send you to school tomorrow, okay?"
"okay."
Li Huai was so happy now that he skipped into the school courtyard and went straight to the classroom.
There is an academy in Fucheng, named "Yucai", located in the quiet southwest of Fucheng.
There are four schools, located in the four directions of the city: east, west, north and south. In order to facilitate the common people to distinguish the schools, they did not give them elegant names, but simply listed them according to the directions.
The South School where Li Huai was born is the largest among the four. After all, the south of the city is a wealthy area and there are many children going to school.
There were three masters in Nan Xuetang, and the most qualified among them was Mr. Zhou, who was a scholar in the 14th year of Yongle. But the students did not like him because his teaching was too rigid and he always had a straight face, which was particularly scary.
Li Heng did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he walked around the school and entered through the main entrance.
No one came out to stop him, and it was probably impossible to stop him. After all, there were only five people in the entire school. Three of them were masters and two were cooks.
Li Heng wandered around the entire school, and finally he was discovered by the cook when he specifically passed by the kitchen three times.
"Hey, why don't you kid study? Are you a student of this school?"
Li Heng stopped, raised his hands in salute, and replied:
"I don't care about the students in this school. I'm going to come in after seeing my brother off. The school is short of a concierge."
The cook wanted to drive him away, but when he heard that his younger brother was studying here, she still gave him some thin noodles.
"What's your brother's name? Which master is he studying with? We don't need a concierge at Nanxue. I'll hang up the door so outsiders can't come in."
Hearing this, Li Heng smiled and said nothing. He saluted again and turned around to go out.
The cook didn't know why, but she felt a little panicked. She hurried up and asked who his brother was.
It's a pity that Li Heng didn't answer, and strode out of the school without looking back, and went straight to the government office. He knew his father, and he wouldn't have started without being completely sure. Since he had set up a school, he wouldn't have to save the tens of thousands of dollars spent by the concierge.
A copper plate.
So Nanxuetang...has a problem.
When he came to the government office and told what he had discovered, Li Hui had no expression on his face, while the official Kong Dian in the ceremony room was dumbfounded.
