Chapter 377: Temptation
Mei Xiang was amazed in her heart, Miss Yu was flamboyant, and the little master still ate her. If it had been someone else, it would have been filmed to death, right?
"Let's go, let's make peach blossom cake!! Sister Mei Xiang, you sit in the front yard for a while. When the peach blossom cake comes out of the pot, you can bring some back for the princess to taste. Peach blossom has the effect of beautifying and moisturizing the skin. It is most suitable for women. As soon as Yu Xiaocao said this, Mei Xiang also stayed in the kitchen and gave her a hand.
Yu Xiaocao kept only the petals of the peach blossoms that were picked, and soaked the pure petals in light salt water for ten minutes. I heard Mei Xiang say that Princess Jing had the top West Lake lotus root powder given by the palace, so she asked her to go back and ask for some.
There was no cooking machine, so Yu Xiaocao had to take out the medicine pestle for pounding the medicine, and asked Yangjun Wang to help mash the petals into a puree, mix it with the goat's milk that had been boiled with almonds, put it in a casserole and mix it with lotus root powder, add white sugar, stir well, and cook over low heat until thick. During the cooking process, stir constantly and quickly until thick and smooth. The boiled solution is poured into a container and allowed to cool to solidify.
Once solidified, cut into small squares and topped with petals. The peach blossom cake is as white as clotted cream, and the pink peach petals are dotted on it, which makes people have an appetite when they look at it.
Yu Xiaocao cooked a dessert in "Flower Thousand Bone" in his previous life - peach blossom soup, glutinous rice and goat's milk were boiled into porridge, and peach petals were sprinkled. If you like sweet, you can add some white sugar. The two peach blossom desserts captured the hearts of all women, and even Liu's couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.
In the end, Zhu Junyang followed Mei Xiang back to Xishan Courtyard. Mei Xiang brought back a box full of peach blossom cakes, which made the girls around Princess Jing exclaim again and again: "Miss Yu's pastry making skills are more exquisite than the master chef of Daoxiang Village in Beijing, and this peach blossom cake is mouth-watering just by looking at it!" ”
Princess Jing drank peach blossom soup and ate sweet and soft peach blossom cake, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaocao, this girl, I don't know who will be cheaper in the future?" Who married her, it's a great blessing from the previous life! ”
"Humph! Just her? None of the three from the four virtues can take out their hands, and whoever marries her must be angry with her mouth. It's strange to be able to get married!! Zhu Junyang felt bored for a while when he heard this, and the sweet peach blossom cake also changed its taste, and he said coldly and viciously.
Princess Jing felt the change in her son's mood, her eyes rolled, and she knew something in her heart - her stupid son was interested in that little girl, but he didn't realize it yet, this dull guy.
Princess Jing deliberately disagreed with him and said, "How can Xiaocao not get married? The standard of measuring women by three from four virtues has long been outdated, doesn't the emperor advocate equality between men and women? This little grass grows pink and tender, with big eyes and white skin, and it will definitely be almost the same when it grows up. ”
After a pause, she glanced at her youngest son and continued: "The little girl has a pure temperament, is delicate and cute, and has a certain amount of advance and retreat. And he has superb cooking skills, even the emperor is full of praise! People can also do business, and braised vegetable shops have opened one after another, all of which have been opened to the capital! When I came back, I wanted to buy two saltwater ducks to bring with me, but I couldn't get in line. Alas...... I don't know if we will prepare some ducks or something tomorrow, and let the grass girl come over to help make a few saltwater ducks, will she agree? ”
"Master speaks, does she dare to agree?" Zhu Junyang hummed such a sentence from his nose, his emotions were very complicated, and he didn't know what he was struggling with.
Princess Jing blinked her eyes, which were extremely similar to her youngest son, and continued: "The little girl cares about your identity, and you are almost the same, don't always use the prestige of the county king to bully others!" Where did you just go? By the way, Xiaocao is not only good at cooking, but also has a hand in serving flowers and plants. My famous flowers and plants that are about to die have come back to life in her hands, and they are even more energetic than when they first bought them! ”
"Oh! That's right!! The little girl also knows medical skills, but she didn't expect to save the queen's baby bump, and she leaked her face in front of the emperor and the queen. My body, which was raised by her, is no different from ordinary people. In the past, I felt dizzy when I walked two steps, but now I don't feel out of breath when I walk a few miles of mountain roads. Your father thought it was the feng shui of the West Mountain! ”
Speaking of getting stronger and stronger, Princess Jing's eyebrows danced. Her man said, when she has a holiday, take her to the mountains and rivers to go through the world of two!
"And ......," Princess Jing became more and more energetic the more she spoke. was interrupted by his youngest son.
"Mother, then Yu Xiaocao won't be the child of you and your father, right? You have spared no effort to praise her, it is quite a bit like Lao Wang selling melons! The boredom in Zhu Junyang's heart was even greater. He also wondered: He is past the age of competing for favor, why does the mother praise the girl more, and he doesn't feel good in his heart?
Princess Jing glared at her son fiercely, if Xiaocao was her own, you should be a bachelor in your life!! What a stinky stone that I can't understand!! Still not enlightened? I'll give you something awesome!!
"I would like to have such a caring and all-round girl! It's a pity that the little girl has been taken first by the lady of the house town. I heard that Mrs. Fang plans to wait another two years, so she will take the little girl to Beijing, take her with her, and find a wishful husband for her. Xiaocao, this girl is so well-behaved and cute, and she has a skill, there must be many humble talents who can see her beauty. Maybe you'll break your head! I don't know if the threshold of the General's Mansion will be stepped on? ”
"The little girl is only eleven or twelve years old, Mrs. Fang is too early to help her so early, right? Besides, she is a small peasant girl, what good can she find in Beijing? Zhu Junyang felt that there was a fire in his heart, arching upwards one by one, becoming more and more irritable, wanting to drop things, wanting to beat people!!
Princess Jing smiled and said, "She is a righteous daughter recognized by the General's Mansion, and she has a little face in front of the emperor and queen, and the emperor is full of praise for her...... The three giants in the palace all endorse her, do you think she can find a good one? Last year, she helped the little prince cure his illness, and someone has already inquired about me! ”
"Who? Who is so mad?? Xiaocao was only a teenager last year, and she was still a child!! That guy can't have pedophilia, right? Zhu Junyang almost snapped up, his eyes spewing with anger, as if he wanted to pull out this hateful guy and beat him up.
Princess Jing glared at him and said, "What are you talking about!" Inquiring about Xiaocao is the daughter-in-law of the Shoufu family, she has a young son, who is about the same age as Xiaocao, and she has emerged in the Guozijian at a young age, and she may be able to enter the cabinet like his grandfather in the future!! ”
Zhu Junyang rarely interacted with the children of the official family in Beijing, and after thinking about it with his eyebrows twisted and searching his intestines, he vaguely remembered the image of the excellent little grandson of the Shoufu family, who was weak and weak, and his face was as white as a ghost. The temperament is also dull, and he looks like an old pedant. Xiaocao has such a jumpy temperament, it's no wonder if he stays with him, not suffocated!
"Mother, Xiaocao is still young, don't spit out to help protect the media. Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, in case Xiaocao has a bad life in the future, you like her so much, you will definitely not be happy in your heart! It's never too late to wait a few more years! Zhu Junyang strongly opposed the practice of the concubine to protect Xiaocao.
"It's not small! This little girl, after the age of ten, she will see the wind grow, and she will look the same every year! Before you know it, you'll grow into a slim girl!! I think the youngest grandson of the Shoufu family is very good, he is gentle and kind, and he doesn't have that sense of superiority. It's a rare match for a little girl......"
"What a good match!! That weak chicken, I can push him down with one finger, and I can blow people away when the wind is strong. Xiaocao is so capable of causing trouble, she should find someone who is stronger and more skilled, so that she can follow her and help her smooth out the trouble! Zhu Junyang interrupted his mother's words, his brows furrowed so much that he could trap flies.
Princess Jing smiled secretly in her heart, but pretended to be quite approving and nodded, "What you said is very reasonable!" What kind of man is a man who can't protect women? ”
Before Zhu Junyang could breathe a sigh of relief, she continued: "I have a candidate in my heart, Yang'er, what do you think of the youngest son of the Nine Gate Admiral's Command Family?" Four or five years older than Xiaocao, tall and handsome, even the emperor is quite appreciative of his martial arts! I heard that that kid is going to participate in next year's martial arts exam, and he wants to come back with a martial arts champion!! ”
"He? My son's men are defeated!! If you want to win next year's martial arts, ask me first if I agree!! Zhu Junyang was thinking about whether to apply for the martial arts exam next year and kill that kid's prestige. In recent years, my lord is not in Beijing, and any cat or dog can be the king and dominate!! Have you forgotten the tragic situation of being beaten by your father and crying and calling your mother?
"Moreover, I heard that when he was fifteen years old, the boy of the Admiral's family of the Nine Gates received several concubines around him, and he also accepted one concubine. Xiaocao's girl is like a simple little white rabbit, if she enters such a family, she won't be torn apart by those tigresses and she-wolves? In short, in one word: he! No! Same! Meaning!!
Zhu Junyang didn't want to listen to his mother's list of how good the children of Jingzhong were, so he stood up and said solemnly: "Mother, in short, don't join in the fun!" If someone asks you to give the media, you will pretend to be sick and ignore it!! lest the little girl have a bad life and resent you!! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Princess Jing to say anything more, she left quickly. Zhu Junyang, who came to his courtyard, abused the guards around him on the martial arts training ground for an afternoon, and trained those guys to cry and cry for their mothers, but they still didn't make their boring mood clear.
I think of the bright and lovely little girl under the scorching peach blossoms, the smile that is brighter than the sun, and the voice that is clearer than the mountain spring...... How could he be willing to let those ordinary people defile her beauty?
If she gets married, she can't meet a foreign man casually. When he was devoured by the demons of darkness, there was no holy golden light to guide him out of the boundless darkness; When he was imprisoned by the cold, there was no longer a warm smile like a warm sun to warm the depths of his heart......
