Chapter Twenty-Three: Li Er's Family (I)

"Is Lord Wei here?"

At noon, Wei Yan surrounded the apron sewn by his younger brother, took the cook, gathered in the kitchen to study the production of egg tarts and biscuits, and found Zhou Carpenter to carve many cute small animal models, ready to make small animal biscuits, and when the little princess of Jinyang came again next time, she would take them out and coax her.

When he was immersed in the kitchen experiment, a sharp and feminine voice outside said, Wei Yan poked his head out, his image was really not very good, and his face was still stained with flour, a typical gray face.

"What's the matter? Who is it? ”

Standing outside was an internal attendant, whom Wei Yan knew, and was the personal attendant of His Majesty Li Er, that is, the guy who tricked Wei Yan into going to the military camp to see His Majesty Li Er.

With Xie Jiu by his side, Wei Yan's appearance made him laugh out loud: "Ouch, good my Lord Wei, why did you make it like this?" ”

Wei Yan smiled, very calmly, raised his hand to wipe it, but there was flour on his hand, and the more he wiped it, the more he wiped it, which made the waiter Xiao Huang cover his mouth and laugh again. Xie Jiu stepped forward, took his hand, and said softly, "Don't move." ”

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief, wiped his face, and said softly: "Little Huang Gonggong came to announce His Majesty's dictation, let you enter the palace and go to wash." ”

Wei Yan was embarrassed, but he was very calm, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Xiaohuang, please wait a moment, I'll go wash up, madam, first invite Father-in-law Xiaohuang to sit down, drink a glass of juice, eat an ice cream, and beat the heat, it's not easy to run on a hot day." ”

"Lord Xie Wei's hospitality, your juice is not only popular in the capital now, but even in the palace, Your Majesty and ladies are drinking it, and the slaves and maids have been famous for a long time, and they can finally drink it today."

Father-in-law Xiao Huang is very kind, not at all as arrogant and domineering as the big eunuchs who often play in TV dramas, no wonder he can be His Majesty Li Er's attendant at a young age, with his eyes, it is not difficult to get ahead in the palace.

After Xiao Huang's father-in-law drank a glass of juice and eliminated a bowl of ice cream, Wei Yan came out, dressed formally, and entered the palace with him. However, before leaving, Xiao Huang Gonggong euphemistically said that Princess Jinyang and King Jin wanted to eat the cakes and ice cream made by the Wei Mansion, and hoped that he could bring some into the palace.

Wei Yan is an understanding person, and immediately nodded, the cake was packed with two large boxes, and the ice bullied him, and two large buckets were taken into the palace with ice, and the Li family's royal family arranged it by themselves; By the way, we can't forget the egg tart and biscuits I just made today, and bring two big boxes with me. was ready to take it into the palace, and Gonggong Xiao Huang also prepared a copy, which made him smile for a while, and he was a little more attentive to Wei Yan.

Oh, there is also a big ragdoll rabbit, stuffed with soft goose down as filling, made of cotton cloth outside, rabbit eyes and nose, Wei Yan is very painful to use jade and agate grinding sewing on, a big one, kill several geese to save enough goose down, take advantage of entering the palace, take it to the little princess, it is estimated that she can be happy again.

Speaking of cotton, Wei Yan also made a joke, to make a puppet for children, wear-resistant and soft cotton cloth is the most suitable, at first Wei Yan thought there was no cotton, let Zhao Di go to the cloth shop to buy a variety of cloth back, suddenly found cotton, was very surprised, shouted: "What kind of cloth is this?" ”

Brother Zhao Xiao Lori looked at her master with sympathy on her face, and said, "Young Master, this is a white cloth, made in Gaochang, don't you know, young master?" Isn't there such cloth overseas? ”

Wei Yan was speechless, well, he was despised by the ancients again. Self-confidence, he needs to cross the self-confidence of youth.

Leaving behind this unpleasant memory and waving goodbye to Xie Jiu, Wei Yan hugged a big puppet and followed Xiao Huang's father-in-law into the palace. This big puppet surprised the little yellow father-in-law, and he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it: "Lord Wei, this is ......"

Wei Yan would not touch it for him, avoided it without a trace, and said with a smile: "This is a gift for the little princess of Jinyang, I don't know if the little princess will like it." ”

Father-in-law Xiao Huang sighed, retracted his hand, and said, "It turned out to be a gift for that little princess." ”

Father-in-law Xiao Huang laughed, this little princess looks and has a temperament very similar to the eldest grandson queen, a small person, smart and well-behaved, and is very loved by the people in the palace.

The two talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the palace, Xiao Huang Gonggong did not lead the guard to the Lizheng Palace, and went in another direction, which is said to be the imperial garden.

When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, His Majesty Li Er's family was dumbfounded, and his eyes were a little unsure of where to put them, beauties, there were so many beauties.

"Ziyue is here, come and sit with Cheng Qian. …… What are you holding in your hands? ”

His Majesty Li Er was obviously in a good mood. That is, accompanied by beauties, the favorite wife has nothing to do, on a hot day, there is no need to deal with political affairs, the family travels throughout the summer, escapes the heat, takes advantage of the cool, and the hard work of Wei Yan makes cold drinks, how can you not be happy on this kind of day.

There are so many beauties at once, and they still can't watch it, they can only be watched by beautiful women, Wei Yan can't get used to it, obviously his skin is not thick to a certain extent, he is a little dumbfounded, seeing His Majesty Li Er asking, he stupidly raised the rabbit he was holding in his hand: "Oh, this?" The rabbit puppet, made for Princess Jinyang, is sewn with white folded cloth, and it is stuffed with goose down, which is very soft and very comfortable to hold. ”

The little princess of Jinyang, who was sitting next to her mother, Empress Changsun, heard that it was given to her, and immediately stared at Empress Changsun, who looked at her lovingly and asked the female official next to her to pick it up.

When the female officer brought it, the little princess immediately hugged it, it was soft and light, and it was very cute, and she liked it very much. It's just that the volume is a little bigger, and Wei Yan feels big when he holds it, and when he puts it together with the little princess of Jinyang, it is even more huge, and he almost buries her completely.

The puppet in his hand was gone, Wei Yan finally regained some momentum, and hurriedly contributed the food he brought, and didn't forget to tell the waiter who was about to distribute it: "That biscuit, when you give it to a few little highnesses, soak it in sugar water and eat it into a paste." ”

These words aroused the curiosity of His Majesty Li Er, and asked, "Why do you want to soak it, can't you eat it if you don't soak it?" ”

Wei Yan patiently explained: "Back to Your Majesty, several little highnesses are young, have poor resistance, the weather is hot, eat too many biscuits, and it is easy to get dry and soak into a paste, so there is no such possibility." Moreover, it helps with digestion. ”

"Master Wei is a doctor, do as he says."

Empress Changsun instructed the chamberlain to do so, obviously accepting Wei Yan's statement, Wei Yan was very satisfied, being a man is like this, being good as a stream.

After several highnesses sat down, Wei Yan buried his head in eating, anyway, he didn't understand why His Majesty Li Er was in good health and would summon him into the palace, so he still waited for His Majesty Li Er to uncover the mystery himself. It's best not to guess this kind of puzzle by yourself, it's very tiring not to say, it's not necessarily right, the emperor's mind is the most unpredictable, and Wei Yan doesn't want to ask for trouble.

"This biscuit, the appearance is so cute, Lord Wei has put a lot of thought into it, right?"

In the pile of beauties of His Majesty Li Er, a beautiful lady said, and the waiter who was waiting beside Wei Yan hurriedly reminded: "This is the virtuous concubine Niangniang." ”

Wei Yan said: "Back to Niangniang, this is not difficult, after reconciling the noodles, buckle it down with the model prepared in advance, and after baking, it is the current appearance, that is, it takes a carpenter to carve the model." ”

"Master Wei can't write well, and he can't read well, but he is good at making these gadgets. Fruit juice before, ice ...... today Ice cream, biscuits, and puppets for the son-in-law, very attentive. These idle things are done so well, why don't you use dim sum in learning? ”
