Chapter 168: Gathering (3)

On the morning of Princess Jing's birthday, Xiao Yao got up very early, although she had already made all the preparations the night before, but the things she gave to others should be careful and meticulous.

What she wants to do today is a fruit cake, Yun Ruonan said that the princess likes to eat peaches very much, and there are fruit trees in this courtyard. Xiao Yao took the maid and Xiaohui to pick the peaches with her own hands, and chose two bunches of early-ripening grapes, Xiao Yao wanted to send the cake and portrait before everyone gave gifts, so as not to be pointed at again when there were many people, especially that Young Master Mu, you can't expect him to say anything.

Because the princess had her birthday today, the three girls also had a holiday, and Xiao Yao estimated that the princess had eaten breakfast and went over with gifts to celebrate her birthday.

"I wish the princess peace every year today, every year there is a present day, and every year is happier and happier and happier." Xiao Yao said.

"Repeat." This child is already so familiar with each other, and she still calls a princess, she is not awkward, and she doesn't like to listen to it!

"You're not satisfied?" Did you say something wrong? Xiao Yao's eyes flashed and she thought about it carefully.

"You should call Auntie." King Jing was amused by Xiao Yao's cute appearance, when this child is smart, you don't dare to treat her as a child, and she can't turn around for a long time.

"Hey, hey." Xiao Yao really doesn't want to take advantage of King Jing's Mansion, but for the sake of today's princess's birthday, let's go with the flow.

"I wish my aunt a happy birthday." Xiao Yao hurriedly changed her words, and the people who procrastinated must think that they were not happy!

"Do you remember all the names in the future? If you call the princess again, I will detain you in this courtyard and never let you go back to Xiao's house for the rest of your life. Yin Qianhua scared Xiao Yao and said.

"You are the kindest and gentlest person, you will not be embarrassed for me as a child, right?" Xiao Yao hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor.

"Sister, why did you say all the words! What should I do? "Xiao Yuan is going to say that he is happy to have a birthday, but he was taken away by his sister, what can he do!

"You can think of another one!" King Jing teased Xiao Yuan, and a straightforward child like her is not easy to find now.

"I wish my aunt to be younger and more beautiful." My sister said that even young women like to hear such things.

"Then borrow the good words of the two of you." Yin Qianhua has long stopped treating the two children of the Xiao family as outsiders, the longer she gets along with them, the more she appreciates the family style of the Xiao family, and it is not easy to educate two children with completely different personalities to be as kind and innocent. Ping An is outstanding but approachable, Ruyi follows his sister but is not jealous or inferior, the smiles of the two children are always so bright, and the performance is always so real.

"Is this a gift from you?" King Jing looked at the cake, even though he was from a royal family, it was the first time he had seen a dim sum in this shape.

"This is called a birthday cake, some of us in the family will eat it when they celebrate their birthdays, my sister knows that my aunt likes to eat peaches, so I made a fruit-flavored one, how about you two taste it." Xiao Yuan, who had already eaten half of the fluffy cake for breakfast, was now familiar with the role of a narrator.

King Jing and Yin Qianhua each took a bite, it tasted good, and it melted in the mouth.

"Did you two do it?" Yin Qianhua was very curious, where did the two little girls who were less than ten years old learn such skills.

"My sister is in charge of doing it, and I'm in charge of supervising." When my sister doesn't do it, Xiao Yuan eats the dim sum she makes, and it tastes okay, as long as Xiao Yao goes into battle in person, Xiao Yuan only plays one role, and that is the taster.

After praising the sisters, King Jing unfolded the portrait, and at a glance he recognized that the person on the portrait was his wife Yin Qianhua.

"You drew it!" King Jing was surprised and said, if this painting is also from the hand of the little girl in front of him, then she can be called a talented girl, such a character and talent, should it be reserved for her son!

"My sister is very good, not only can she draw on paper, but she can also embroider portraits on purses, and every man in our family has a special purse, and you can know whose it is by looking at it." Xiao Yuan is not jealous, only proud of his sister.

King Jing glanced at his wife meaningfully, but Yin Qianhua didn't understand what he meant for the first time, because she had been with Xiao Yao for a long time, Yin Qianhua had been able to accept her talent of one kind or another very quickly, and she didn't think Xiao Yao was so different, as if it was normal for such a smart child to do these things.

King Jing has a different opinion, a little girl who is less than ten years old is already so dazzling and outstanding, and the person who comes to propose marriage in the future will not be allowed to break the threshold of the Xiao family! No wonder General Xiao asked the imperial brother for such a will early. King Jing believed that if there was no such will, there was a chance that this little girl of the Xiao family would be sent to the palace.

Although there are a lot of official ladies in Kyoto, it's really hard to find someone better than this kid.

"This is a little bit of my heart with Ruyi, thank you to the prince and princess for taking care of us for many days, and thank you to the county lord for not disliking us." Xiao Yao sincerely wants to express her gratitude, her identity is different from her sister, and she has never dared to forget this.

"If you say it like this, my aunt will be angry." Yin Qianhua said with a deliberately calm face.

"Peace doesn't dare." Xiao Yao smiled playfully, she shouldn't make her birthday star angry today, anyway, she has already expressed her meaning, if you don't say it, don't say it.

"Cousin of the county lord, let's go out to play, let my sister knit another hat for us, let's have a good visit to the courtyard today."

"You haven't had a good day in the courtyard." Yin Qianhua smiled at her niece.

"I used to look at the flowers, but now I have to look at it meticulously." Xiao Yuan can always find an excuse for himself to go out and play.

"Then should we bring our luggage?" Xiao Yao laughed at her.

"What are you doing with your luggage?"

"You're going to be meticulous about this, and you won't be able to finish it in a day!"

"Can you not dismantle my platform?" Xiao Yuan shook his sister's sleeve again.

"Okay, I'm not going to tear down the stage, let's set up a stage for you! The county lord has a light, how about we take a meticulous stroll around the yard today? Xiao Yao also followed her sister's example, and said coquettishly, she knew that Yun Ruonan didn't like others to touch, so she rarely pulled and pulled with her.

"Go play! Bring a few more people, and don't forget to come back for dinner at noon. King Jing wanted to send away a few children, and discussed with his wife the possibility of making Xiao Yao his daughter-in-law.

Yun Ruonan glanced at the portrait again, and then stood up reluctantly.

"Cousin of the county lord, my sister also drew one for you, how about we go and take a look?"

Xiao Yao shook her head and smiled bitterly, her sister, don't let her know any secrets, otherwise it won't be long before everyone knows about it.

"Let's go!" It turned out that he also had it, and Yun Ruonan went more simply than anyone else this time.

After the children left the room, King Jing tentatively asked his wife, "What do you think of this child?" ”

"Okay! Good-looking, smart, and very good at taking care of people. ”

"Then what do you think if you let her ......" King Jing hadn't finished his words when he heard footsteps outside.

"What smells so good?" Mu Fengwu was the first to rush into the room, he circled around the table, and then said with emotion: "It's different in the palace, this food is better than other houses, but I don't know how it tastes?" ”

"Taste it, or you won't have to drip a table of saliva!" King Jing separates the cake from the middle, he leaves half for the boys, and then gives half of the order to Autumn Shadow to send her to his wife's room. Otherwise, with the amount of food for three and a half young men, not to mention one or three, it may not be enough for them to divide it!

The three of them each took a small piece and tasted it, this cake is much softer than the ordinary pastry, the fragrance of the fruit and the fragrance of milk, the mouth of the mouth is fragrant.

"What is this called, and if my grandfather and grandmother could eat it, would they praise me? I recall...... I haven't been praised for about 10 years. Mu Fengwu ate in his mouth, and did not forget to complain about his bitterness in a slurred manner.

"Uncle Wang, this is really delicious, is it made by the dim sum master in the palace?" Yun Yifan picked up the second piece and asked while tasting it.

"What does Ah Chen think?" King Jing is more interested in his son's opinion.

"It's different from other dim sum, it melts in your mouth, and it must be good for older people to eat." Yun Yichen commented pertinently.

"Why are you only mentioning the elderly! I like it too, Uncle Jingwang, can you ask the dim sum chef to make one for me while I'm gone? Of course, the more the merrier, and I can give more money. ”

"I can't satisfy your wish, because this is not made by the people in my house at all, you seem to have just offended people yesterday, and it is estimated that you will never be able to eat this kind of snack in the future." King Jing joked to Mu Fengwu.

"Did I offend someone yesterday? Nope! Mu Fengwu grabbed the last piece and ate it deliciously.

"Could it be that the dim sum master said that the little junior sister is at home?" Yun Yifan asked curiously, such a good craft actually entered the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, it's a pity, if it's someone else's house, it's embarrassing to dig a corner or something, if it's an old man, it's better to be exempt!

Yun Yichen was already looking at the portrait at this time, this painting method is very special, and he only paints the head of the character, which is different from other people's paintings, and it doesn't seem to be painted with a brush.

"This is a portrait of Aunt Wang, it really resembles." Yun Yifan also stood next to his cousin and admired the painting together.

"Be careful, this and this are birthday gifts from Miss Xiao, what about yours!" King Jing took the portrait from his son's hand and put it away, don't spoil it, this may be the first gift from his future daughter-in-law!

"The little junior sister is different from others, such a skilled dim sum master and a painter can be found, this old man is really well-intentioned for his granddaughter." Mu Fengwu made a concluding speech.

"This snack was made by your little sister, and this painting was painted by your little sister." King Jing kindly helped them solve their doubts.

Three boys, you look at me, I look at you, I can't speak for a long time.
