Chapter 620: New Year's Gift
After Xiaocao finished speaking, he lowered his head and glanced at a place where he had just developed into a xiaolongbao, feeling both happy and helpless. Thankfully, I'm not an airport or a poached egg. I feel helpless that I am still smaller, and I have developed into a white steamed bun.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Zhu Junyang's gaze following her line of sight, Xiaocao hurriedly hugged her chest with her hands, and had a wolf-proof expression: "Where are you looking?" Colored embryos! Lecher!! Don't look at indecent things, do you understand? ”
Zhu Junyang said that he was very innocent, just the little girl was covered in three layers of clothes and three layers outside, wrapped like a little bear, what can she see? was scolded for no reason, and I was a little unhappy in my heart.
He grabbed Xiaocao's arm, gently brought it into his arms, fixed the back of her head with the other hand, leaned over and pecked the red and bright little mouth, and bit it lightly, leaving a shallow tooth mark on the tempting soft fragrance, and then in the exclamation of Wutong and Yingchun, he let go of the stunned little girl, and said with a chuckle: "See, the master is showing you what a real disciple is!" ”
There was a slight exclamation in his ears, and Zhu Junyang's smiling eyes, when he moved away from the grass, instantly condensed into cold arrows, swept over the people in the outer courtyard who looked over here, and the words that came out of his mouth were so cold that they penetrated people's hearts: "Today's matter, if anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue outside, he will never have a tongue to chew in the future!" ”
The people were suddenly silent, and shook their heads again and again, indicating that they had not seen anything. Thinking of the rumors of the demons in the capital in private, the moment the people in the outer courtyard were swept by the eyes of the king of Yangjun, it seemed that they were in a surging sea of blood, which was suffocating.
In the past, when the king of Yangjun came to the mansion, it was already intimidating enough when he had no expression on his face, but at that moment, he was heartbreaking!
"Okay, you did something bad yourself, and you came to scare our family's subordinates, it's really too deceitful!" Yu Xiaocao saw the subordinates in the outer courtyard, their faces were as white as earth and trembling. There are cowardly ones, and they fell to the ground with soft feet and couldn't stand up for a long time, so angry that they stretched out their little paws and twisted Zhu Junyang's waist vigorously.
Although Zhu Junyang's cold gaze did not affect the two maids, Wutong and Yingchun, the two of them were still frightened by the evil aura emanating from the king of Yangjun. When they saw their young lady's hand raging on the waist of the evil star, their pounding hearts suddenly settled down.
No matter how powerful King Yangjun is, can't he escape the palm of Miss's hand? Miss is so amazing! Dare to pinch the black-faced King of Yangjun, worship ing!! Yu Xiaocao has since harvested two little fans who blindly worship her!
Zhu Junyang put the restless little paw on his waist in his palm, pinched Xiaocao's cute nose again, and said softly: "Go back, it's cold outside!" ”
Three days later, Zhu Junyang personally came to the door and sent a lot of good gifts, including venison rewarded by the emperor, fruits from the south, and some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, plus the treasures of their treasure pavilion, it is not rude to use them as a dowry.
Yu Hai and his wife looked at these gifts and felt a little apprehensive, but Xiaocao accepted them calmly. Since the two of them are going to get married, do they know so much about what to do? In the future, all of his will be hers, and some will be shipped in advance, so what's there?
Of course, Xiaocao also specially made a Buddha jumping over the wall feast, and stewed the venison brought by Zhu Junyang in red wine, which has a unique flavor.
However, it is not rude to come, people have sent so many precious gifts, you have to return the gift! Yu Hai and his wife were worried in their hearts, with the Yu family's family background, even if they did everything they had, they might not be able to buy gifts that could be seen in Jingwangfu. What can I do?
Xiaocao has already prepared the return gift! She used the cocoa beans and coffee beans brought back by the last fleet to make various flavors of chocolate, as well as coffee-flavored toffee, as well as some peculiar snacks, such as tiramisu, matcha red beans, banana pudding cake (banana is one of the southern fruits given to Zhu Junyang by the emperor), meat floss cake, fruit tart, etc.
After reading it, Liu Shi felt that this gift was too thin, compared with the precious gifts brought by King Yangjun, it was a little unreachable, right?
Xiaocao comforted: "Gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, when did the Jingwang Mansion lack those?" Rare things are expensive, my candy snacks are the only ones in Beijing, and I can't even find them in our pastry shop. It's not that I'm boasting, with this girl's craftsmanship, if these sweets and snacks are taken out to entertain guests, they will definitely save face. Favors, gifts, and meritorious subordinates are absolutely handy! Mother, you can rest assured! Princess Jing will definitely be satisfied when she receives a gift from our family! ”
Chocolate and sweets, because they are easy to preserve in winter, are made with more grass, and there are many varieties. Like chocolate, she not only makes mellow dark chocolate, but also milky, hazelnut, silky, and wine-hearted...... The sweets are mainly coffee-flavored, and some are filled with fillings. Packed in a tall box, it looks very classy.
As for the dim sum, it is like the eight pieces of Beijing, there are several different ones in one box, dozens of boxes are prepared, and the eldest brother who went to give the New Year's gift was told to tell the steward of the palace that whether it was for his own consumption or as a gift, it should be solved within five days.
As the eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Hang took the lead for the first time and gave a New Year's gift to a family like Jingwangfu, sweating in his heart. Fortunately, the steward of the palace had already been mentioned by the master, and he entertained him warmly and politely, and Zhu Junyang also attached more importance to this brother-in-law, and personally went to the outer courtyard to drink tea and talk with him.
The Yu family's New Year's gift was naturally recognized and loved by Princess Jing. Indeed, as the mistress of Jingwang's Mansion, the prince who has a favorite wife will pull back and give her good things when he encounters them. There is also a son who can toss, and even Western and overseas gadgets are not uncommon. The treasures in the eyes of others did not arouse much interest in her at all.
However, the candies and desserts sent by Xiaocao were unheard of, unseen, and tasted by her. When she received the gift, she was almost entertaining the Lady of the Commandment, who had come to visit a few years ago. Princess Jing, who got the burden of the New Year's gift, laughed at that time! The little girl is really painful, and this snack is really timely.
When she arrived, she had all kinds of snacks and sweets brought to her. She set aside the chocolate and coffee-flavored sweets and opened the box of dim sum first.
When the ladies heard that the New Year's gift sent by the Yu family was just some candy and snacks, they despised it a little in their hearts. Sure enough, it came out of the countryside, and it can't be put on the table, so can such a gift be given? Princess Jing is also too good, if she wants to replace them, she will have thrown the gift back to the giver. Is this looking down on King Jing's mansion? Take such a poor gift as a New Year's gift?
However, several ladies also knew that the king of Yangjun maintained the little girl of the Yu family very well, and although there was a little sneer in their hearts, they never brought it out on their faces.
"Xiaocao, that girl, must have tossed out fresh snacks again! You don't know, that little girl has a heart, every time she has good food, she can't forget her concubine's share. She sent it so solemnly, it must have tasted good. Blessed are you today! ”
Princess Jing personally opened the delicate lid of the food box, and suddenly a rich and novel fragrance came to her nose. Even she, the princess of a king who has tasted countless things, couldn't help but be lured by the intoxicating sweet fragrance and her saliva secretion intensified.
Princess Jing's attitude made several ladies glance at each other quite intriguingly, and they didn't dare to have the slightest contempt for that snack. It seems that King Jing's Mansion has recognized the little girl of the Yu family. The Yu family has climbed a high branch, and it will not be just anyone who wants to step on it in the future!
At the same time, the ladies couldn't help but look surprised at the smell of this alluring fragrance. What kind of dim sum exudes such a rich, mellow fragrance? And this smell is something they have never smelled in their lives. The fragrance alone is enough to whet people's appetite!
Several people invariably focused their attention on the exquisite food box. The round food box was divided into six equal parts, and inside were six different delicate snacks, none of which anyone in the room had ever seen. Even the limited edition of the "Yu Kee Pastry" shop has never appeared in these kinds of dim sum.
Princess Jing picked up a small and delicate spoon in the food box and couldn't wait to reach for the gorgeous and seductive tiramisu. The dim sum melts in your mouth, containing the rich and slightly bitter aroma of coffee, the sweetness of eggs and sugar, the sweetness of sweet wine, the richness of chocolate, the denseness of cake, the thick aroma of cheese whipped cream, and the dryness of cocoa powder. Princess Jing was deeply intoxicated by this ultimate taste experience.
The other ladies saw that her eyes were closed and silent for a long time, and they were very curious about what this particularly tempting smelling snack tasted like. However, if the master doesn't speak, they can't speak! Although it is not exposed on the surface, it is tickling like a naughty cat scratching in the heart.
Princess Jing finally came back to her senses from the rich taste of tiramisu, she saw several ladies staring at her "tigerishly", and said suddenly: "Concubine Ben has never tasted such a complex and harmonious dim sum, plum fragrance, to present a dim sum to the ladies, and with a light flower tea, it is definitely a pleasure!" ”
Soon, in front of each lady, several exquisite porcelain plates were presented, and on each porcelain plate, which was less than the size of a palm, there was a delicate and fragrant dim sum. Mrs. Wang, the wife of Honglu Siqing, followed the example of Princess Jing, picked up a small spoon, gently dug a small piece of the fresh and elegant matcha red bean, and stuffed it into her mouth.
