Back at the rice shop, Li Xiang began to prepare a gift for King Yue. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] He himself has been prepared, but yesterday he went to the Yue Wang's Mansion and spent an afternoon with the Yue King, and felt that this child's innocence should have been slowly assimilated by the royal family's intrigue and deceit.

He hopes to give him back a happy and fun childhood.

After dinner, Li Xiang began to tinker with it, and he worked all night before going to bed until dawn, but to his relief, the night finally worked out.

On the eighth day of the seventh month, a feast was held in the palace of the king of Yue in Luoyang, and all the officials who were around Luoyang and could rush back came to participate in the birthday banquet of the king of Yue.

Before dawn, Li Xiang took Cheng Yanjin and Fang Sanlang and pulled the three carts of things into the Yue Wang's Mansion. The day before, Li Xiang had agreed with King Yue that he would come over early to help do something.

King Yue was very excited, he used to be with his father and queen mother on his birthday, and there were almost no people who really came to bless him. This is the first time he has grown up without an adult accompanying him, and he came to his birthday, but he didn't expect so many people to come. What excited him the most was that Li Xiang told him yesterday that he was going to give him fun things and delicious food today.

Children still have no resistance to toys and beautiful things, and King Yue is no exception. Knowing that Li Xiang came early in the morning, Yang Tong, who hadn't slept much all night, also got up in a hurry to get dressed and go to see the toys that Li Xiang brought him.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw that Li Xiang arranged for someone to pull two carts of things to the backyard, leaving only one cart in front, and I was a little puzzled, so I ran over and asked Li Xiang what the two carts were.

Li Xiang saw that he actually got up, and said with a smile that those are the materials needed to make a good meal. He pointed to the car in front of him and said, "You go up and see for yourself, do you like what I deliver?" ”

Yang Tong waited for this sentence, but did not answer Li Xiang, and ran directly to the car, and the inner supervisor who followed behind was so frightened that he was afraid that he would fall, so he hurriedly went over to support him.

Li Xiang stopped him and said: "King Yue is already eleven years old from today, you can no longer look at him with the eyes of a child, it just hurts to fall, next time he will know, he will be careful, you are like this every time, he will never know what wrestling is, it is not good for him." ”

Although the internal supervisors didn't understand what Li Xiang meant, they still listened to him, because they knew that Li Xiang not only had a good relationship with Yang Tong, but was also a celebrity in front of His Majesty and Niangniang.

Yang Tong ran to the front of the car, got into the car as soon as the curtain was lifted, and then shouted in surprise. The inner supervisor was still startled, and regardless of Li Xiang's words, he went directly to lift the curtain and took a look, but he was also stunned.

Yang Tong was sitting on a large wooden box, holding a wooden box in his hand, and inside the wooden box was a set of small wooden figures carved by Li Xiang specially asked the carpenters. This set of wooden figures are all soldiers, there are more than a hundred, different forms, vivid, some holding weapons, some wearing armor, and posing in various poses.

There are also two open wooden boxes at Yang Tong's feet, which are also wooden figures, but one set is all generals, and the other is all horses. All the wooden people add up to a small army.

Yang Tong's eyes lit up, put the wooden box aside, picked up a small round box from inside, opened the lid and saw that there was a whole box of sugar cubes inside. He looked at Li Xiang with some puzzlement, are these candy bars also gifts?

Li Xiang smiled and motioned for him to eat a piece of it himself, but the inner supervisor stopped him again, wanting to test the poison first. Yang Tong pushed him away, peeled off a piece and put it in his mouth. When I first ate it, it was just a little sweet, but I didn't expect that after only a while, the sugar cube melted in my mouth, getting sweeter and sweeter, and there was a fragrant milk taste, which was really delicious.

He asked Li Xiang what kind of candy was this? Li Xiang told him that this is called toffee, and Li Xiang has made it out in the past few days. With toffee in his mouth, Yang Tong still looked at the things in the car with his eyes. Suddenly, he found a lot of big wood in the back of the car, all kinds of shapes, I don't know what it was for, and asked Li Xiang again. Li Xiang said that he would have to put it up later before he could use it, and told him to look at something else first.

There were too many things in a car, and Yang Tong didn't care, and continued to look there. Not far away, a box caught his attention, the box had no lid, and the contents were clear at a glance, some copper and some wood, strange shapes.

Yang Tong stood up and took out a string of copper rings connected to something from it, picked it up and looked at it, the copper rings of the same size were worn on a long copper ring, and then there was a chain under each small copper ring with a small copper ball, which was picked up and jingled.

He couldn't understand what it was, so he waved at Li Xiang, Li Xiang walked over and smiled: "Don't underestimate this thing, it's called Nine Rings, if you can untie all the copper rings, then you will be smart." ”

When Li Xiang did it at that time, it was also because he thought that Yang Tong was a child, and he should give him more entertaining and brain-stimulating things, so he thought of Luban Lock, and while making Luban Lock, he also thought of Nine Links.

Yang Tong looked at those copper rings, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Can these be taken down?" Li Xiang nodded and said, "Of course, it depends on whether you are smart or not." ”

Yang Tong sat in the car with Jiulian and fiddled, Li Xiang saw that he began to concentrate on playing, and he didn't care, asked the inner supervisor, and walked towards the kitchen. He was going to make something for Yang Tong that he had never eaten before.

When I got to the kitchen in the backyard, I saw that the things in the two cars had been unloaded, so I went into the kitchen. There were already cooks busy inside, and they were all stunned when they saw Li Xiang coming in.

Li Xiang smiled and said: "You do yours, I'm here to make some food for King Yue, don't worry about me." As he spoke, he began to pick out what he had brought.

When Li Xiang was in the rice shop, he used the ingredients there to do experiments for a long time, and he was afraid that the ingredients in the Yue Wangfu were different from those he used, so he had to bring oil, salt, sauce and vinegar with him.

Li Xiang began to get busy in the kitchen, and the cooks didn't know who Li Xiang was, but they saw him dressed gorgeously and knew that he was not an ordinary person, so they ignored him and did their own thing.

When there are many hours, there are congratulations to come to give gifts one after another, and several big housekeepers in the Yue Wangfu are busy starting to receive gifts, inviting guests to sit down, and arranging people to watch tea. At this time, Yang Tong was still studying the Nine Links. At first, it was just playing, but I didn't expect to know that it was really amazing.

The inner supervisor was in a hurry beside the car, and he didn't dare to speak, and the guests outside gradually increased, so he couldn't sit here all the time. At this time, Dai Zhou happened to come over, and the inner prison hurried to save his life as if he had seen a relative. When Dai Xuan asked about the situation, he shook his head, and talked to King Yue for a while, and Yang Tong reluctantly left the carriage, took a look before leaving, and asked the inner supervisor to take the car to his playground.

Dai Xuan accompanied King Yue and quickly changed into a solemn dress and appeared in front of the guests. All the people who came were officials, and there were no less than 100 people, large and small. When he saw the main man coming out, he came over to say hello one by one. Just after receiving these officials, Yang Tong was tired to death.

Only then did he think of where Li Xiang had gone, and asked Dai Xuan, but he didn't know. I sent someone to look for it for a long time, only to know that Li Xiang had gone to the kitchen. Dai Xuan shook his head and said: "Confucius said that the gentleman cooks far away, he is good, and he goes in to make food, I want to see what he can make in a while." ”

Yang Tong was full of confidence in Li Xiang, and said with a smile: "This king is looking forward to what he is doing." ”

Dai Xuan smiled: "I really don't know what Li Xiang can't do, but he can actually cook." ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, and someone brought Yang Tong a bowl of food, saying that it was given by the adult in the kitchen. Yang Tong took it and looked at it, it was a bowl of paste, snow-white and cold.

Dai Xuan looked at it and said, "Li Xiang won't just do this, what is this?" ”

Yang Tong didn't ask, he directly took the spoon in the hand of his servant, and scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth. As soon as he entered, Yang Tong's eyes widened, and then his mouth began to babble.

Dai Xuan didn't understand, he didn't know what was wrong, and he was about to ask the imperial doctor, who knew that Yang Tong swallowed it and said: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, this is the best thing this king has ever eaten." With that, he ran to the side and put a spoonful into his mouth.

Dai Xuan and that subordinate really didn't expect that bowl of things to be so attractive, how delicious it was. After only a while, Yang Tong actually ate a bowl of ice cream, and wanted to go to Li Xiangyao.

The subordinate said: "The lord told the little one that if the prince still wants it after eating, he will have to wait until after eating, saying that this thing is too cold, and it is not good to eat too much." ”

Dai Zhou was even more surprised that Li Xiang could even guess this, but Yang Tong was very obedient and didn't ask again. Another butler came over and said, "Lord, noon is almost here, and the guests are almost here, and it's time to start the banquet." ”

King Yue also did it for the first time, and he didn't know the process, so he had to look at Dai Guan, and Dai Zhou said it was time to start, so Yang Tong came to the main hall of the front yard.

Just now there were only more than 100 people, and now there are more than 200. Most of these guests want to show their faces or remember their names in front of Yang Tong, maybe they will be seen by Yang Guang one day, and it will be easier to be promoted in the future.

Yang Tong sat on the main seat, and Dai Xuan stood on the side and shouted: "King Yue's birthday today, everyone is here to celebrate his birthday, and now the birthday has officially begun, kneel!" ”

Everyone knelt in front of Yang Tong, Yang Tong was a little flustered, and everyone shouted: "I wish King Yue a happy birthday, and his prestige will not be reduced!" ”

Yang Tong said loudly: "Get up, your heart has been received by the king." ”

Everyone stood up, and Dai Xuan said, "Guest gifts!" ”

And everybody began to wait for the inner warden to recite the name, and whoever was pronounced would come out and offer a gift, and they would not eat until the last one had finished offering.

The things that everyone offered were similar, all of them were expensive gold and silver ornaments, and at most some jade. Yang Tong had a smile on his face, but he didn't like it at all in his heart, he still wanted to see what other interesting things were in Li Xiang's carriage.

At this moment, the housekeeper at the gate of the mansion shouted loudly: "The governor of Hedong has sent Master Li here!" ”
