Zhu Biao got up and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, your cake is made like a flower, how can people taste it." ”

"If you don't eat it, you have to eat it, and if it's too late, it will melt." Madu took out two candles, one "4" and one "0", from the cart and inserted them on top of the cake.

Zhu Xiaosi said: "I recognize it as forty, which is exactly the age of the queen mother!" ”

The brothers of the Zhu family rolled their eyes in unison, and Zhu Fan teased: "The fourth brother finally didn't go to school in the academy in vain, and he still knows a few characters. ”

Zhu Xiaosi turned a deaf ear to the second brother's ridicule, and had already taken the plate in his hand and waited to eat.

Madu took out a small box, took out a red-headed match, wiped it lightly on the box, snorted, and with a puff of green smoke, a red flame came out.

"Huh?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened, "Xuanzhong, what is the thing that will be on fire when you rub it?" ”

While lighting the candle, Madu said, "This is a candle or match, and it is something that several students have made out of a gentleman's manuscript. ”

There is another gentleman named Tao Zongyi in the academy, who is said to be a knowledgeable master of poetry, literature and calligraphy. Celebrities and scholars have a bit of personality, this Mr. Tao only loves to teach and does not like to be an official, and has refused to be recruited by the imperial court several times.

The official master has a bigger temper, doesn't he like to teach? Then go to the Royal Academy to teach enough, Tao Zongyi is really here. Just in time for the college holiday, Tao Da Mingshi rushed into the library to sort out the manuscripts, and a few students who helped him found that there was a record of the production method of matches in his "Dropout Record", so they really made it out.

Although the match is small, it is the first project that the students completed independently is of great significance, and Madu also specially approved the research fee for them, so that they can study a set of practical production technology, and I believe that there will be a group of small scholars selling matches in the city during this year's winter vacation.

Lao Zhu nodded, "There are such useful things, remember to send some to the palace when you go back." ”

Ma Du was used to Lao Zhu's bandit style, and Ma Du casually agreed, after all, he still had something to ask him about matches.

Ma Du pointed to the candle and said to Ma Dajia: "Please move over and blow out the candle!" ”

"As long as you have a lot of business, why bother making so much trouble, hehe......" Ma Dajiao said this, still smiling down the table, Ma Du beckoned to a few nephews, and they immediately surrounded him.

"It's a good sign that the mother wants to blow it out in one go." Ma Du suddenly clapped his hands and sang: "I wish you a happy life and Tianqi, celebrate your happy birthday, every year has today, every year has a ...... today."

The brothers of the Zhu family had rehearsed before, and they sang along, listening to their voices like ghosts crying wolves, which shows that the people of the old Zhu family really have no literary and artistic cells. Especially Zhu Xiaosi is changing his voice, if he shouts out a gong-like voice when fighting in front of the battle, it will definitely scare the thief.

In the midst of such a terrible song, it was really embarrassing that there were tears flashing in Ma Dajiao, and she blew it out with a puff of cheeks, and the two candles were extinguished.

Ma Du took off the candle and poked Zhu Xiaosi, who was still singing with his head up, "His Royal Highness King Yan don't sing, I'm addicted to singing." ”

Lao Zhu laughed, "Why don't you let the fourth child sing, he sings very well." When I celebrate my birthday in two months, I will also make such a set, and I will have this big cake. ”

Ma Du handed a clean and smooth bamboo knife to Ma Dajia, "There is nothing to do with Weichen below, please let Niangniang share the cake for everyone." ”

Ma Dajia looked up and down the three-layer cake with a bamboo knife, "Such a beautiful food, I am really reluctant to start." ”

Lao Zhu walked over and put his arm on Ma Dajia's shoulder, "If you like it, let Xuanzhong make it for you in the future, this cake will melt if you don't eat it, hurry up and divide it, so that the big guy can touch your blessings." ”

Lao Zhu said and held Ma Da's hand and pressed everything down heavily, Ma Du had already copied a clean plate, "This cake is made by Weichen, but I haven't tasted a bite yet, and now I can't wait, let me cut a piece first." ”

Ma Du took another bamboo knife and cut off a large piece and put it on the plate, took a big bite, and his mouth was also dipped in a circle of snow-white cream.

"The taste is okay, Weichen will take the child and withdraw first." Madu took the little gelding from the crown princess and withdrew with the cake.

The cake is very big but it can't hold up to many people, and each person can only get a small piece at most, especially Lao Zhu's younger children, licking the cream on their lips one by one, looking at Ma Du with unfinished eyes.

"Okay, no matter how good things are, there must be moderation, don't look at your uncle." Lao Zhu pulled the horse and sat down again, "Prince, where is your gift?" ”

Zhu Biao stood up with a tray, "The child and the crown princess made a jade ruyi to celebrate her mother's birthday." ”

Yuan Sheng took it and put it in front of Ma Dajia, Lao Zhu opened it and took a look, "Jade is a good jade, but your gift is not a little new, is there nothing else that can make your mother happy." ”

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao secretly, obviously referring to something else, there is nothing in this palace that Lao Zhu doesn't know.

Zhu Biao naturally arched his hand and said: "The child is about to tell the queen mother that the princess is pregnant!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a full house of congratulations immediately sounded, and the little brothers of the Zhu family immediately followed suit, while the Chang family lowered his head with a red face.

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Today's queen's tenth birthday, the princess is pregnant again, this is a double happiness, today the queen is the birthday star, she will reward the princess, I will not overstep the bounds, queen, queen?" What happened to you? ”

Lao Zhu turned his head to look at Ma Dajiao, but saw that there was no joy on her face, her eyebrows were frowned, she bit her lip secretly, her face was slightly pale, her forehead had a little sweat, and she covered her chest with one hand, as if she was in unbearable pain.

Ma Du, who was feeding his son the cake with a plate, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this, and the plate in his hand fell to the ground and shattered......
