Seeing that the hour was not early, and the sky was gloomy, Cao Zhongyan and they got up to say goodbye.

"It's a bad day, and I won't leave you in vain, so beware of slippery roads on the way back. Maude, let the things be prepared. ”

Of the three gifts, the one for Cao Zhongyan was the thickest, not because the two were relatives, but because they brought one to the rest of the Cao family. Although the old lady of the Cao family is gone, Mrs. Cao, several cousins, and even others all have Shangyuan cakes and brocades.

Cao Zhongyan didn't refuse, just smiled: "The emperor and the mother's festival have already been rewarded." ”

"That's the reward of my father and queen mother, this is my own heart, it's different. Besides, this section has passed, and Shangyuan cake is no longer expensive at this time. ”

The two people who gave Lu Yi and Zhao Lei the same thing, one for each person. Lu Yi said with a smile: "It is said that the practice of Shangyuan cake in the palace is different from that of the people, and I can eat enough this time." ”

"It's not different, it's just that at the beginning, Shangyuan cake was made for the festival and for the gods and Buddhas, so there was no need for meat oil, I once saw them making Shangyuan cake in the small kitchen, it was not oily at all, and glutinous rice flour and soybean flour were mainly used in it, so it tasted particularly light and refreshing."

In addition to pastries and cloths, there are other things for Zhao and Lu.

"This is a gift entrusted to me by the fourth princess, thank you for giving her a lantern."

What was given to Lu Yi was ink, and what was given to Zhao Lei was paper, which was handed over to the little eunuch to hold and send them out of the palace.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Cao Zhongyan had to give them away, so he took the gift box easily: "I'll take a look at what good things you two have got." ”

When he opened it and saw that it was a piece of ink, Cao Zhongyan suddenly lost interest: "Hey, I thought it was something delicious." ”

Lu Yi said to him: "This is that you don't know the goods." This ink is the famous Linzhou ink, also known as fragrant ink, you smell it, is there a fragrance? ”

Cao Zhongyan leaned closer and sniffed: "I smell the same, weird." ”

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "This smell is indeed a bit rushed, and when the water is opened, there is a pungent aroma, written on the paper, the aroma can be kept for a long time, this ink is precious, because it is a tribute, people outside can't buy a tael of gold to buy a tael of ink, the princess is generous." ”

"The fourth princess has such a ...... temperament," Cao Zhongyan said with a smile: "She has not been a stingy person since she was a child. She has been living in our house since she was a child, and her grandmother loves her very much, and she is reluctant to give eggs to others, so she is willing to eat them. At that time, there was a famine, and there was a war, and the family was not having a good time, when my fourth brother and I were hungry for a while, I was always worried about her bowl of steamed eggs, and she carried her mother behind her back to divide more than half of us every day, and she only ate two bites. Later, her mother gave birth to Xiao Wu again, and she simply didn't eat a bite herself, and gave it all to others. ”

Zhao Lei also looked at the box of paper he got.

The fourth princess felt that he was living too hard, and the things such as paint were expensive, and the gifts were all good drawing paper, a whole turn, as if she was afraid that he would not be enough.

The princess was not only careless, but also attentive.

Sent to the street, the two got out of the car and said goodbye to Cao Zhongyan and walked back to Zhao's house.
