Xiao Yuhan saw Ye Hongbo leave in a hurry, turned his head, and asked Nangong You: "How many dowry gifts did you give to the Ye family?" ”

Nangong Yu coughed dryly twice, and said a little hesitantly: "It's not much." ”

"There's not much to come back and do anything. Didn't you say you were going to knock on it? It's better to just tell him the number. ”

Ye Xiaoyan smiled and said to Xiao Yuhan: "When I got married that day, the dowry given to me by Ye Mansion included 2,000 taels of silver and two shops. You can calculate how much his dowry was back then. ”

Xiao Yuhan looked at Nangong You in surprise.

Nangong You looked at Ye Xiaoyan: "Did I say that?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan "hehe" and said: "You said it when you talked in your dreams. ”

Nangong You twisted his eyebrows, does he have a problem with talking in his dreams? How he didn't know.

Xiao Yuhan believed it and said, "Nangong You! You're too generous, aren't you? No wonder it will ruin the Xuanwang Mansion like this. Then he said to Ye Xiaoyan: "I'll tell you, when Ye Fu brings the silver, you must not let Nangong Yu take care of it, if he doesn't make it, he will lose it again." ”

Nangong had a gloomy face, he had never lived a poor life before, and he didn't know the difficulty of having no money. Now that I know, how can I still be extravagant.

Ye Xiaoyan said with a smile: "If he wants to lose, he will be defeated, anyway, I don't eat much, I can be full by drinking some northwest wind with him." ”

Nangong said to Xiao Yuhan with a gloomy face: "What nonsense are you talking about! I will keep this money for my son. ”

"Xiaoyan has it?" Xiao Yuhan looked at Ye Xiaoyan with a look of surprise.

Nangong Youdao: "Not yet, but soon." ”

"You know that, too?"

"Of course I do." Nangong Yu is proud of knowing the medical principles of pregnancy.

Nangong You said: "When Yan'er's belly is big, she can't work hard, prepare more silver, and be prepared." Said and smiled dotingly at Ye Xiaoyan.

Xiao Yuhan smacked his lips: "The people who have become relatives are really different!" ”

Nangong Youdao: "I think Xu Zishu is quite a good match with you, or you two will get married." ”

Xiao Yuhan glanced at Nangong You. He invited Xu Zishu to come to Xuanwang's Mansion tomorrow, Ye Xiaoyan knew that he didn't know what the reaction would be, and he would still be happy here.

Actually, Nangong Youyou had already forgotten about it.

Ye Xiaoyan instructed Mama Tai to grill the fish and bring it up.

Xiao Yuhan asked: "These vegetables are also roasted and eaten?" ”

"Yes."

Ye Xiaoyan put the whole eggplant on the iron plate and played with it with her left hand.

"I'll come." Nangong You pressed her hand back and said, "Don't do it, just tell me how to do it." ”

"Call Qingmao to come." Ye Xiaoyan said.

Among these three "green" maids, she found that Qingmao was more talented in making food, and she would draw inferences from one case to another. This time to train restaurant chefs, she plans to let Qingmao also learn with her, maybe she will still be the pillar of the restaurant in the future.

"Princess." Qingmao rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

Ye Xiaoyan said: "Brush a thin layer of oil on the skin of the eggplant, roll it from side to side, and roast it evenly and thoroughly. When the whole eggplant is roasted until it is soft, cut a knife from the middle and break it open. It's like killing a fish and cutting open the belly of a fish. But be careful, don't cut it off, break it like a container. Then pour the sautéed meat sauce over it, let the meat sauce and eggplant meat fully blend, and wait until everything is cooked, and it's done. ”

Qingmao began to roast the eggplant as the princess had explained.

Xiao Yuhan looked at the fried meat sauce in the small bowl next to him and asked, "How is this fried?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan said: "Pork foam with spicy sauce and stir-fried with minced garlic. ”

Xiao Yuhan picked it up and sniffed it, only to feel that before he could eat, his saliva was lured and was about to flow out. said, "Can this be eaten on its own?" ”

"Yes. It's just that this one is generally made of meat. For example, if you cook a bowl of noodles and eat them with this meat sauce, it tastes good. ”

"You go," Xiao Yuhan casually pointed to a maid and said, "Go and cook me a bowl of noodles." ”

Nangong You glanced at him and said, "So much, can you eat it?" ”

"You can eat it!"

Xiao Yuhan wanted to taste the way Ye Xiaoyan said, but he didn't know what it tasted like.

Nangong ignored him, cut the roasted meat skin into small pieces, sandwiched a piece and dipped it in the dipping sauce, and handed it to Ye Xiaoyan's mouth.

"Open your mouth."

Ye Xiaoyan opened her mouth, bit off the skin of the chopsticks, and chewed slowly.

Nangong You brought another glass of wine.

"Open your mouth."

Ye Xiaoyan reached out to pick it up: "I'll do it myself." ”

Nangong Yu staggered the wine glass and didn't let it.

Xiao Yuhan couldn't stand it and said, "You're almost done." She can't hold chopsticks in her right hand, but she can still hold a wine glass in her left hand. ”

Nangong is not dry, he has to feed this wine.

Ye Xiaoyan obediently stepped forward and took a sip. said, "Let's make a fork." "It's hard to be fed like this, Nangong You can stand it, she can't stand it.

"Forks?" Nangong asked.

"Yes. It is similar to the nail rake used by the peasants to work in the field, but it is vertical. Four teeth, about the size of a spoon. Easy to hold in your hand. ”

As she spoke, Ye Xiaoyan dipped her fingers in some wine and drew on the table.

Xiao Yuhan looked at it and said, "This is simple! With a wave of his hand, he said to a servant: "You go to the east courtyard and cut a bamboo." ”

Ye Xiaoyan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Eat well, and I'll get the fork later." ”

Xiao Yuhan said: "It's okay, you cut the bamboo and send it to my house, and the master will personally make a fork for your princess." ”

Nangong looked at him dangerously and said, "My Yan'er's fork, why do you need to do it!" ”

Xiao Yuhan had a sincere expression on his face and said, "Aren't I living in your mansion and want to talk about my heart!" ”

Nangong sneered: "Call my subordinates and cut my bamboo, where is your intention?" ”

"Didn't I do it myself!"

"I'll do it too, without you."

"The little things I make are so delicate, and my younger siblings love them."

"Yan'er is not your brother or sister."

"Nangong You, do you even want to eat my vinegar?" Xiao Yuhan quit.

Nangong closed his mouth.

"Okay," Ye Xiaoyan came out to play a round: "It's not just one fork. In case it breaks down, you need to have a spare one. You'll do a few more later. ”

Mama Tai's fish is baked, and so is the green eggplant. Nangong You concentrated on feeding Ye Xiaoyan, and he also felt that he had gone too far just now.

The atmosphere in the dining hall was a little somber.

On the other side, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ye Hongbo went home and went straight to the study.

"How's it going?" Ye Fusheng asked.

"Father, King Xuan asked us to return the dowry of the year."

"What?" Ye Fusheng was surprised and asked, "What else did King Xuan say?" ”

King Xuan said that he originally asked to marry Wanting, and the dowry was also given to Wanting. Now she is married to Ye Wanyan, and King Xuan wants us to return the dowry. ”

"King Xuan didn't say that he promised to deliver a message to Dali Temple?"

"King Xuan didn't say it explicitly."

Ye Fusheng frowned. I didn't get the right words, so I sent the dowry back, which is not a small amount!

"Father," Ye Hongbo urged: "It's better to send the dowry to the Xuanwang Mansion as soon as possible." ”

Ye Fusheng shook his head and said, "The things sent by King Xuan back then were worth 200,000 yuan, to say the least. Some things are still priceless, and you can't buy them with silver. Over the years, I have sent out a lot, and you asked me to return what to the Xuanwang Mansion. ”

"What then?"

What King Xuan sent back then, Ye Hongbo was not very clear.

Ye Fusheng called the housekeeper over and asked, "How many silver tickets can I take out in the house now?" ”

The butler replied, "About two hundred thousand taels." ”

"What about the title deeds?"

The housekeeper replied, "There are eleven large and small shops, and two houses." ”

Ye Fusheng suddenly remembered that there was still a mansion in the west of the city, which was given by the Liu family back then. Although the house is large, covering an area of more than 20 acres, it is on the outskirts of the city, and it has not been taken care of for many years, and it is not worth much, it is worth about 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver.

However, if it is sent to the Xuanwang Mansion, it is good to send this mansion. Ye Wanyan is the daughter of the Liu family, and this mansion has a special meaning for her.

Ye Fusheng had already made up his mind, and said to Ye Hongbo: "If you go to your grandfather's mansion again, you will say that King Xuan promised not to pursue your mother and sister, but asked us to pay 300,000 taels of silver as compensation." Our Ye Mansion can't take out so much silver, so let your grandfather's mansion take out 150,000 taels. ”

"Father," Ye Hongbo felt embarrassed, and said, "We have 200,000 taels in our house, plus some house title deeds, it should be enough, right?" ”

Ye Fusheng glared at his son and said, "What about the 20,000 taels of silver?" Those stores can't send it! There are more than 100 people in the house, won't they eat in the future? The daughter of his royal family, now that something like this has happened, do they want to stand by and watch? ”

"But ......" Ye Hongbo still felt that he couldn't open this mouth when he went to his grandfather's house.

"No, but." Ye Fusheng said sharply: "If he doesn't care about the Wang family, then I don't care either." ”。

Ye Hongbo was embarrassed for a long time, and finally went to Wang's house.
