After Xu Qing finished pulling the hook, he let go of Xiao Ruxue's hand: "Look, I scared Brother Xiao away."
Xiao Ruxue said with a smile: "We don't care about him, where are the zongzi? I want to eat zongzi?"
Xu Qing said: "I soaked the glutinous rice early this morning, but I can't find rice dumpling leaves at this time. I asked the servants in the house to make some bamboo tubes these days, which can be used to make rice dumplings."
"Bamboo tube?" Xiao Ruxue said in surprise: "I've never seen how to use a bamboo tube to make rice dumplings. Are they delicious?"
Xu Qing said: "It's not much different, but although the bamboo tube is long, it is a little thinner and cannot accommodate the filling. It will be cooked and dipped in sugar to eat later."
Xiao Ruxue said happily: "Okay, okay, how do you wrap it in a bamboo tube? You cook, and I'll try to wrap it."
Xu Qing said: "Okay, I will teach you later."
…
Xiao Ye walked out of the kitchen and breathed in the fresh air outside.
Two people can actually get bored in a place like the kitchen...
Huh……
Sure enough, except for Wan'er, the other women are too scary.
After Xiao Ye came out of the kitchen, he looked at the greenhouse, the greenhouse, and then looked back at the kitchen...
There are people busy everywhere.
Why do I suddenly feel like I am superfluous in the whole family?
Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed...
Xiao Ye looked east and west, and it seemed that there was only one place to go.
In the tea room
Su Jiyuan and Xian Wang have already started playing chess.
Originally, Su Jiyuan was a little nervous, and his hands could not help themselves.
But the wise king smiled and said: "There are no kings and ministers tonight. You and I are all equals. It doesn't matter if you feel free to do whatever you want."
Although the wise king said so, Su Jiyuan should still be nervous. It wasn't until the two of them got into a good relationship that Su Jiyuan got used to it.
At the beginning, Su Jiyuan also felt that as a minister, it would not be good if he played chess and defeated the wise king, so he held back a little at the beginning and left a lot of room, but soon he
I found that my idea was redundant.
The wise king's chess skills were so exquisite that even when the two played against each other with all their strength, they were indistinguishable.
Just when the wise king was thinking about where to go, the door suddenly opened.
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye who walked in, nodded and said: "Well, you're just in time, let's get some tea."
"Hey, it's..." Xiao Ye, who just came in, went out again.
Finally I found the hot tea, took two cups and walked back into the tea room.
Xiao Ye put the tea in front of the wise king: "Father, please drink tea."
The wise king took a sip of tea while pondering the chess game, still thinking about where to play.
Xiao Ye placed another cup of tea in front of Su Jiyuan: "Uncle Su, you also have tea."
Su Jiyuan reacted and quickly took it with both hands: "His Royal Highness Your Royal Highness."
"It should." Xiao Ye agreed and then pointed to a place and said, "Should we go here?"
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Are you sure?"
Xiao Ye nodded, and then the wise king made his move.
Su Jiyuan chuckled and picked up a chess piece and dropped it somewhere: "I will take one of the prince's pieces."
King Xian raised his head and looked at Xiao Ye and asked, "Didn't you say you were sure you were here?"
Xiao Ye pursed his lips and said, "I'm sure, but I don't know if I can win the kid..."
The wise king: "..."
He knew that his treacherous son had always been very stable when it came to being angry with him.
After learning about Xiao Ye's unreliability, King Xian kicked him out, while he stayed here to continue playing chess with Su Jiyuan.
When you get involved in playing chess, you will lose track of time.
Just like nearly an hour later, Xu Qing's side had a large table of dishes ready, and Xian Wang and Su Jiyuan were still playing chess in the teahouse.
Xiao Ye ran over and urged him several times, but the two people showed no reaction at all.
In the dining room
Xu Qing, Xiao Ruxue and Xuan'er had all brought the food out from the kitchen. Xiao Ye walked in and said, "They still didn't react at all."
Princess Xian smiled and said: "I'm afraid your father may have met an opponent today. For your father, it is always difficult to find an opponent in this chess game. It is very difficult to meet such a person who can meet his opponent in chess."
Su Qian, who was sitting aside, said in surprise: "My father's chess skills were not even good for me at the beginning. How could I play so well with the prince today? Could it be that my father has been studying chess these days."
When Princess Xian heard this, she couldn't stop laughing and said: "No, it's not that Qian'er's father's chess skills have improved, but that the prince has always been like this, and it was the same at the beginning. Even I, who only learned chess for a few days,
No one can beat him, so it's hard to find an opponent, because he can't be anyone else's opponent."
Su Qian and Zheng Waner couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
But Xiao Ye looked embarrassed, just lowered his head and said silently in his heart: Please, stop talking.
His chess skills are not as good as those two...
Only Xiao Ruxue could unscrupulously ridicule the real leader of Chu State: "Hehehehe, my father is so stupid, my daughter should tell him to play backgammon instead."
Princess Xian smiled and said: "Xue'er, go and call her. Your father usually only listens to you."
Xiao Ruxue agreed and ran over.
I have to say that when Princess Yongle takes action, she will obediently pull you over regardless of whether you are an emperor or a prince.
The wise king smiled and said: "It's rare to meet an opponent today. After dinner, you and I will continue the fight. We will definitely decide the winner today."
Naturally, Su Jiyuan did not dare to neglect. He cupped his hands and said, "I will accompany you."
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing again and said: "By the way, although today is the New Year, we should not light these firecrackers anymore and replace them with quieter ones, so as not to scare the two children."
Xu Qing said: "Don't worry. Yesterday I told every household in Anding County, not only the Anding Marquis Mansion, but the entire Anding County today not to set off firecrackers with strong roaring sounds. Instead, use those quiet but dazzling fireworks."
, the house has also prepared a lot, just waiting for midnight to arrive."
Princess Xian said: "This time, for the sake of the children, it is excusable. Next time, please do not impose such a force. Forcing the people too much will also lose the kindness of the court."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Please be at ease, Princess. I did not force them. I just told them that all the fireworks they need this year will be provided by the Anding Marquis Mansion, and the people do not need to buy any more. In this way, it will be natural for them to set off the fireworks from the Anding Marquis Mansion."
It won’t make too much noise, but it will be dazzling, why not?”
Princess Xian said: "You are so considerate, kid."
King Xian also looked at Xu Qing in surprise and said: "I remember that you are usually the most stingy kid, but today you are willing to provide free fireworks to the people of a populous county like Anding County? This really makes me happy.
Amazing."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's all for my wife, otherwise what would you do to earn so much money on weekdays?"
Su Qian secretly glanced at Xu Qing, but a slight smile appeared on her face.
