Chapter 165: A Few Birds with One Stone

"What's so hard about it?"

Yun Yao and Qi Jing both looked at Han Xin with concern on their faces.

Han Xin smiled and waved his hand: "Where is there anything embarrassing, it is my uncle who coaxes you." ”

Qi Laoniu's face pulled down: "You kid, what are you polite to your cousin and sister-in-law, since you don't say it, then your uncle will say it on your behalf." ”

Qi Laoniu looked at Yun Yao and Qi Jing again: "You two are afraid that you will be tired all the way back, so hurry up and sit down and drink tea, and Dad will tell you slowly." ”

Waiting for everyone to sit down, Yun Yao looked at Han Xin while drinking a bowl of warm tea: "Don't say it, my cousin is really similar to my father, it seems that the folk saying is very reasonable." ”

Qi Jing smiled, knowing that Yun Yao was talking about his nephew Uncle Xiao's words, he was happy today, and he was interested in singing against Yun Yao: "Not really, how can I not be like my uncle." ”

Yun Yao thought of Uncle Gu's appearance, and was speechless for a while, and said in her heart that you are going to look like your uncle, you see if I marry you or not.

Qi Laoniu saw that the two of them were amused, and coughed lowly, Yun Yao hurriedly put down the teacup and sat down: "Dad, if you have something to say, we will all listen." ”

Qi Laoniu nodded with satisfaction: "You also know your cousin's identity, no, it will be Your Majesty's birthday in a few days, your cousin wants to find a good gift for Your Majesty, but he fainted with hunger, although he saved money to buy something, but he is not very satisfied, you have always had more ideas, give your cousin an idea." ”

"Your Majesty?" Yun Yao asked in surprise: "When today?" ”

Han Xin nodded: "Exactly." ”

Qi Jing frowned after hearing this, and thought for a long time before saying, "It's not that I'm mean. It's really that Your Majesty loves beauty, and your cousin looks like this, I'm afraid that even if you give something good, Your Majesty won't look down on it. ”

This is really true, Emperor Chengping is famous for his beauty, even the people know that if it is a handsome birthday gift, it is an ordinary gift, he also thinks it is good, if it is a long and ugly birthday gift, it is the fairy peach in the sky to pick it off. He was afraid that it was just like that.

Yun Yao also instantly thought of Emperor Chengping's urine. also smiled bitterly: "It's the same." ”

Han Xin didn't blame Qi Jing after hearing this, but he was a little discouraged, hung his head and was silent.

Qi Jing couldn't understand Han Xin's mood, and sighed: "Don't think about it." Let's talk about it. You have to find a special gift. ”

Yun Yao pondered for a while and asked Han Xin, "What did my cousin buy before?" ”

Han Xin smiled bitterly: "My father loves calligraphy and painting. I also liked the four treasures of the study, so I found an ancient inkstone...... Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I have spent a long time saving money for this ancient inkstone. People are hungry and lose a lot of weight, that's it, they haven't saved much money, and they still can't afford to buy too good. ”

"If you want to talk about antiquities, I have some there." Qi Jing touched his chin: "I bought them all by chance earlier, so it's better to pick a few pieces for a while." ”

Yun Yao shook her head: "Since my cousin knows His Majesty's preferences, then others will know even more, I think everyone will send some calligraphy, paintings, antiques and the like, other princes have foreign support, how can we compare the things offered, if my cousin also sends these, but it will be inferior." ”

When Yun Yao said this, it was quite difficult for Qi Jing and Qi Laoniu.

Speaking of which, these two are big men in the end, although they are smart and knowledgeable, they really can't do these things about favors and gifts.

Han Xin felt that what Yun Yao said was reasonable, but he didn't understand the way of giving gifts, and now he was only silent.

Yun Yao looked at these people again and smiled: "Of course, gifts should be sent to people's hearts, everyone will send antique calligraphy and paintings, let's send goodbye, Your Majesty's temper I also know some, I have always been a perfect love, there is no room for the slightest bit of bad, in recent years, we have often had disasters in the Great Zhou, and the people's lives are not much smooth, I am afraid that Your Majesty is very troubled because of this, and I don't want to leave a faint reputation in the history books." ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Jing seemed to think of something, but he couldn't grasp it vaguely.

"I mean killing multiple birds with one stone." Yun Yao hooked her lips and smiled lightly: "Xianggong wants to participate in the palace exam, my cousin wants to give gifts, and my aunt has a low status and dies as a cheap, and my cousin also died tragically because of this, we have to solve it once this time." ”

"Will the plan be released?" Qi Jing, Han Xin, and Qi Lao Niu all widened their eyes and asked Yun Yao.

The eyes of these three people are all so similar, they are all so narrow and long, Yun Yao is full of excitement, racking her brains and explaining while thinking: "First of all, we have to think of a correct identity for my aunt, Your Majesty looks down on my cousin not only because of my cousin's appearance, but also because my aunt is from a low background, if you give your aunt a high identity, in this way, no matter how your cousin looks, Your Majesty can't turn a blind eye to him." ”

The three of them nodded at the same time, and looked at Yun Yao even more.

Yun Yao was a little fluttering when she was watched: "The identity has come up, and the cousin will have a foundation for any gift he gives, at least he will not be disgusted and suppressed, and it will also be good for the palace test of the Xianggong." ”

"How do you say that?" Qi Jing was a little confused when he told Yun Yao.

"Let's get some auspiciousness." Yun Yao smiled very naughtily: "Correct the identity of your cousin, and then send Xiangrui, Your Majesty doesn't look at your cousin twice, and besides, since there is Xiangrui, Your Majesty thinks about Xiangrui more, then Xianggong's incident of six yuan in a row will definitely happen, and it must be placed on Xianggong's head, and no one dares to have half a word." ”

Speaking of this, Yun Yao nodded first, with a smug expression: "What, is my idea to kill a few birds with one stone?" ”

Before others could answer, they heard a burst of laughter outside the house, and then, Qi Baobox walked into the house quickly, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden: "I have a long experience today, and I also know that no one is perfect, and this is not true at all, since my sister-in-law is so smart, why can't I even say a word, it is clearly a number of birds with one stone, and when I call my sister-in-law to say this, oops, I have to laugh off people's big teeth, a few birds with one stone, a few birds with one stone, a few birds with one stone......"

She laughed as she spoke, and at the end she couldn't stand up with a straight waist.

The angry Yun Yao puffed out her cheeks and looked at her: "Don't be in a hurry to laugh at me, I just made a slip of the tongue and asked you to do this, and wait, there will be a **** good joke back." ”

"I'll wait." Qi Baobox laughed again, put down the plate of dried fruits in his hand, and said to Qi Lao Niu: "Dad, we are all hungry and screaming, since my cousin's affairs have been raised, how about we eat first?" After eating, let's help think about it, wouldn't it be better to supplement and improve it. ”

As soon as he heard Qi Baobox say that he was hungry, Qi Laoniu immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Eat, eat, put down other things first, everything is not as big as eating." ”

As soon as he spoke, Qi Baobox went out, and after a while, he brought a big round table into the door, set the round table away, and asked the girls to serve food.

After a while, the round table was full of good tables.

Qi Baozhu and Qi Baohua usually cook home-cooked dishes, this time they are about to recognize their relatives, these two people in order to show in front of the new cousin, they took out a full set of styles, and the whole table is definitely tall.

All the famous dishes in Zhenting Mansion and Chang'an City can be found on this, in addition, there are also famous dishes eaten by a family on the way from Zhenting Mansion to Chang'an, and the two of them picked up a few delicious dishes and put them on top.

Not to mention the chicken, duck and fish, it is the famous meat soup, bad duck letter, baked meat cake, crab roe bun, roast venison, lotus leaf soup, and fish fillet...... And so on and so forth.

Not to mention how it tastes, just looking at the presentation and the dishes is enough to make people drool.

The dish is ready, and there is porridge boiled with rouge rice, and the bright red rice grains are full, which makes people salivate when they see it.

The Qi family doesn't look at the face, and it is not the famous high-ranking family, but the food is absolutely not wronged, this family loves to eat, no matter how the life is, they are reluctant to be wronged, that's it, and they are also very greedy for the dishes on this table.

Not to mention the impoverished prince who Han Xin has lived this day.

Han Xin is so big, not to mention the good tribute rice like Bi Stem Rice and Rouge Rice, but he has not eaten much ordinary good rice, he used to eat bad rice all day long in the palace, and then he went out of the palace to build a mansion, and he often couldn't eat good rice, and now he sees the rouge rice used by the Qi family to entertain guests, which is really not a taste in my heart.

only said that his life was too aggrieved, and the dignified son was not as good as an ordinary rich man.

No matter what Han Xin thought, he could feel the Qi family's enthusiasm for him, this enthusiasm was not mixed with any utilitarianism, only the kind of closeness and care that came from the bloodline.

Han Xin smiled and sat down with Qi Laoniu, Qi Jing waited for Qi Gu to sit down and took Yun Yao to sit down, and the Qi family sisters also sat down with a smile.

Qi Laoniu first gave Han Xin a chopstick fish fillet, and said with a smile: "Your fifth cousin's cooking skills are not bad, this fish fillet is authentic, you can taste it." ”

Han Xin took a bite, only to think that the taste was so good that it could almost make people swallow their tongues, as for whether it was authentic or not, he really didn't know, he had never tasted the taste of fish fillets when he was so old.

Qi Laoniu and Han Xin moved their chopsticks, and everyone also followed the chopsticks to eat.

Yun Yao hadn't eaten the delicious food made by Qi Baozhu for a few days, and now she misses it very much, it tastes so good, it makes her want to cry.

Yun Yao praised while flying under the chopsticks, and only after he was half full did he slowly begin to taste carefully.

It's been almost an hour since the meal was eaten, and when the leftovers were removed after eating, everyone sat around and continued to give advice to Han Xin.

Qi Baobox spoke first: "I think about it, I think my sister-in-law's idea is very good, as for Xiangrui, this is not difficult, but my aunt's background is a little ......."

She looked at Qi Laoniu: "Dad, you want to think about what famous big people are in our Qi family's ancestors, the kind of big people who are extremely admirable?" ”

Qi Laoniu thought about it for a while, and then patted his thigh: "There is." (To be continued.) )
