Ma Du arched his hand, "Niangniang Christmas, Weichen and Wenying have already prepared, so naturally they won't come empty-handed to eat and drink!" ”

Zhu Fan said: "Uncle brought something good, hurry up and bring it up for the nephews to see!" ”

Lao Zhu suddenly raised his hand and said, "My gift hasn't been given yet, it's not your turn, Yuansheng!" ”

Yuan Sheng took out a brocade box from his sleeve and held it to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu took it and opened it slowly, only to see a flash of golden light, it was a huge golden pearl, which Lao Zhu snatched from Ma Duming, and has not yet paid.

The audience immediately exclaimed, and all the concubines were full of envy, only Ma Du's eyes were full of resentment. Lao Zhu glanced at Ma Du, "I grabbed it, that's me, are you still not convinced?" ”

You robbed the whole world, who wouldn't accept it?

For Lao Zhu's precious reward, Ma Dajia did not push back, handed the little gelding to Zhu Biao, who was sitting under her, got up and got off the table, "Concubine thank the emperor for the reward!" ”

Lao Zhu smiled and handed the golden pearl to Ma Dajia, and then took a yellow key and handed it over, not gold but brass.

Ma Dajia wondered: "This is?" ”

"The newly built palace has been formed, your Kunning Palace has been built, this is the key to the Kunning Palace, we will move there a year ago, and the New Year will be spent in the new palace next year, hehe......"

If you want to wait until the completion of the new palace to live in, everyone here is afraid that there will be no chance. Under the hurry of the craftsmen, the palace has begun to take shape, and the number of people in Lao Zhu's harem is still relatively small, but it can be accommodated.

There is a better palace to live in, and the happiest person is not Ma Dajia but the prince and princess, one by one clapping their little hands and jumping happily, Zhu Xiaosi slapped the table with a clatter, and immediately shrunk his neck when he saw that Lao Zhu's eyes were not good.

Ma Dajia took the key with both hands and said, "Concubine thank the emperor for the reward!" ”

"Thank you, the palace will be bigger in the future, and there will be more things that you need to manage." Lao Zhu stretched out his hand and helped Ma Dajia up, "You two can take out the congratulatory gifts!" ”

"Wechen comes first!" Mu Ying turned her head to look at her wife, "Where's the thing?" ”

"Outside." As soon as Feng Shi waved outside the pavilion, several maids came over carrying something wrapped in red silk, needless to say, it was naturally the mirror of Ma Du's auction that day.

"Xuanzhong, you can help me hold on to it." Mu Ying took the mirror and asked Ma Du to hold him, and suddenly opened the red silk, and a glass mirror framed by red sandalwood appeared in front of everyone.

Ma Du held the mirror, and the huge mirror turned around to show everyone, which immediately attracted a lot of amazement, the Zhu brothers and Lao Zhu had already seen it at the auction site, so naturally they would not make a fuss.

Zhu Xiaosan also muttered: "I guessed that day, Brother Wen Ying must have bought it as a birthday gift for the queen mother." ”

Ma Dajia looked surprised, "Wen Ying, my son is extraordinary, more than a star and a half stronger than the palm-sized mirror that Xuan Zhong gave before, this congratulatory gift is very much liked by the palace, and I accept it!" ”

Ma Du didn't expect that he would lie down inexplicably, although his mirror was a little smaller, it was unique, much more precious than Mu Ying's.

Mu Ying said proudly: "It's good if Niangniang likes it!" ”

"Send it to the bedroom of the main palace!" Ma Dajia waved his hand, and several palace maids carried the mirror away, "Xuanzhong, what congratulatory gifts have you prepared for Sister A, and you haven't taken it out yet." ”

Ma Du walked up to Song Shuang and took the "Diamond Sutra" from her hand and touched Ma Dajia's heel, Lao Zhu, who had been a monk, was very familiar with this thing, this may be his enlightenment book, he glanced at it and said disdainfully: "You are really good at it, keep a million family wealth and bring it into the coffin!" ”

Lao Zhu belongs to the kind of person who has a little knowledge but no culture, and obviously doesn't know what Zhao Mengfu is from. Ma Dajia is different, he grabbed it in his hand at a glance, and said with a satisfied smile when he opened it: "Xuanzhong sent not Buddhist scriptures but calligraphy, or from the hands of the famous Zhao Mengfu, it is not easy to get, and the concubine likes it very much!" ”

"Hey...... If you like it, he's a kid with a heart. ”

Ma Du arched his hand and said: "Niangniang misunderstood the meaning of Weichen, what Weichen sent is the Buddhist scriptures not the calligraphy, I only hope that Niangniang can cultivate herself in the future, work less, and take care of the phoenix." ”

When everyone happily celebrated Queen Ma's birthday, Ma Du's heart was a little heavy, only he knew that Ma Dajia, who was forty years old, might only have eleven years left in his life.

Ma Dajia has long been not the life-saving straw in his heart, he is his closest relative like Xiaoyuer, and no one wants to watch his relatives die early. He just wanted Ma Dajia to live a little easier and longer.

Ma Dajia seemed to understand Ma Du's thoughts, and smiled knowingly: "Sister knows!" Go sit down, you two have your favorite dishes today, add a table for them. ”

"Don't worry, Weichen has another gift." Ma Du then looked at Song Shuang who was sitting at the door, Song Shuang beckoned to the outside of the pavilion, and saw a few maids in the family pushing a small cart over, the cart was covered with a high cage drawer, and Bi Lin had been following behind the cart, with a trace of snow-white cream sticking to her pink and tender lips.

Madu nodded at her brow, "Eat again!" Bi Lin stuck out her tongue and giggled into Song Shuang's arms.

Lao Zhu pointed to the car and asked with a smile, "What are you?" I just took a Buddhist scripture, these shouldn't be Shoubao Shou Tao, although the queen doesn't dislike it, but how can you get it? ”

"Shou Tao is on everyone's table, Weichen naturally won't draw snakes anymore, if you don't come up with something new, I'm naturally sorry for Weichen's name, and I'm sorry for Niangniang's tenth birthday, Wenying do me a favor!"

Ma Du and Zhu Wenying opened the cage drawer, three layers of snow-white and soft cakes were exposed, all kinds of fruits were dotted on it, dazzling, colorful, three layers of cakes each wrote a word Fu Lu Shou, and there was a cartoon character next to it, looking at the image is not who Ma Dajia is, there are dignified and standing, there are kneeling and spinning, and there are sitting on the swing rippling in the wind.

Just like the cakes of later generations, it may not be delicious, but it is beautiful enough, in order to make this cake Madu has taken a lot of thought, just choosing edible pigments to make his head bigger, such as cherry juice for red, spinach juice for green, and mulberry juice for black.

It was only made in the middle of the night last night and kept it in the ice cellar, and in order to prevent the cream from melting, an ice basin was placed under the carriage. His hard work was not in vain after all, and the room full of women of all sizes stared at the three-tiered cake, their small mouths turned into oh shapes, and some secretly swallowed saliva.

Ma Du arched his hand and said proudly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this is a birthday cake made by Weichen!" ”
