Chapter 209: Shizi, Have You Forgotten and Left the Book?
The Zhennan Wangfu covers an extremely wide area, and when only one master of Mo Xuanchen lived in the past, the mansion was always deserted.
Mo Xuanchen doesn't like to be lively, and he has been "lingering on the sickbed" for many years, and the people in the house even lowered their voices when they spoke, for fear of arguing with the prince who would break if he touched the glass, but later after meeting the princess, the prince was in good health, and after the princess married her, the Zhennan Wangfu became more and more lively day by day.
After Mo Xuanchen returned home, he heard that Yun Jinchu had gone to the kitchen, and he walked towards that side as soon as he turned around.
"The princess told Lao Zhao what cake she was going to make, and stayed in the kitchen for an afternoon." Xiahou Yu said.
Cake?
Mo Xuanchen smacked this fresh word between his lips and teeth for a moment, and a smile appeared between his eyebrows: "She can always toss some strange things." ”
As soon as the master and servant walked through the verandah to the kitchen, they heard the sound of the little maid whirring inside.
"It's ripe, it's ripe, it's really puffed." Cai Zhi's face was full of strangeness.
Mulberry Ye squatted aside and swallowed saliva: "Miss, it's so fragrant......"
It was soft and yellow, and it looked as fluffy as cotton, and it was delicious.
Lao Zhao in the kitchen is a middle-aged man, with a beard and a big beard, but he speaks in a sven manner.
"Princess Shi, this is the cake you are talking about?"
Lao Zhao looked left and right around the things on the table with some curiosity, and then took a knife to separate the cake, took a piece and handed it to Yun Jinchu, "You taste it, is this the taste?" ”
Yun Jinchu took a bite and his eyes lit up.
Don't look at what she used to do with a knife and lick blood, but in fact, Yun Jinchu is very fond of sweets, especially all kinds of cakes and desserts are her favorite.
Since the fight crossed over, everything else is fine, she adapts to adapt to it and only thinks of a different place to live, the only bad thing is that the appetite is difficult to satisfy, fortunately, Lao Zhao is a good cook with a very strong spirit of study, she can't make these things herself, only rely on the taste and general materials she has eaten in her memory to tell him, he can always study a little bit every time to make it.
Yun Jinchu raised his finger at him: "It's delicious!" ”
Lao Zhao immediately laughed, gave the remaining pieces to the mulberry leaves who were almost drooling next to them, and took a piece himself and tasted it.
The mouth is soft, like a pastry, but not as chewy or crispy as it used to be, but melts as soon as you sip it.
"It tastes good." Lao Zhao is also rare.
Yun Jinchu said while nibbling on the cake: "It's actually the easiest to eat like this, if it can be paired with the cream or jam you made earlier, the taste will be richer." ”
As she spoke, she remembered that Mrs. Song was about to celebrate her birthday in two months, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"By the way, you can also make birthday cakes."
Lao Zhao was puzzled: "Birthday cake?" ”
Yun Jinchu roughly made a comparison: "It is to make this cake round, smear cream on it, and then use the cream to make some longevity peaches or flowers, and you can make a wish on the cake on your birthday, and then cut the cake and distribute it to all the guests who come to celebrate your birthday to enjoy the joy." ”
When Lao Zhao heard this, he suddenly said: "This method is very strange, I have never heard of it before." ”
Yun Jinchu paused, and said without changing his face: "This is a custom of a tribe far away from our Daye to celebrate his birthday, and I have heard it once in a while and memorized it. ”
Lao Zhao nodded and didn't think much about it, but Xiahou Yu, who was standing outside the door, suddenly lowered his voice: "Master, is the princess thinking about giving you a birthday?" ”
Mo Xuanchen was stunned: "Me? ”
"It's not that you have anyone else, you forgot, it's your birthday in a few days."
Mo Xuanchen really forgot about this.
In the past, when his grandfather and father were there, every year when he was born, the house would do a small thing, and the family would get together to celebrate his birthday, but then his grandfather died in battle, and his father was under great pressure to take over the Zhennan Mansion in a hurry, and he couldn't take care of him at all for two years.
When he entered Beijing, he didn't bring a few relatives with him, and when he came to the capital, he had to be cautious to live.
He has been pretending to be sick and weak to make people think that he will not live long, and naturally no one will give him a birthday, even King Hui and they are afraid that they don't remember what day he has a birthday, and he has not had a birthday for more than ten years.
Xiahou Yu's face was full of excitement: "The princess has asked me about you before, and she also asked you about before you entered Beijing, these days she has been stuck in this kitchen every day, grinding Lao Zhao to toss this cake, she must know that you are going to celebrate your birthday, and want to surprise you." ”
There was a moment of hesitation on Mo Xuanchen's face: "Really?" ”
"Of course!"
Xiahou Yu swore an oath, "Didn't you hear the princess just say that this is used to make a birthday cake, your birthday is about to be celebrated in our house, if it is not for you, who else can it be given to, I know that the princess must still be thinking about you." ”
Mo Xuanchen listened to Xiahou Yu's words, looked through the door and looked inside, Yun Jinchu discussed with Lao Zhao quite seriously how to make the birthday cake, what color to use for the cream, and what kind of patterns to make on it, and whispered that Lao Zhao would make it for her in the next two days, and specially told Lao Zhao not to tell others, and when she turned around, she would be useful for this cake.
His noble dark eyes softened a little, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a smile.
Is it really for him?
"Master, the princess really cares about you."
Xiahou Yu was excited, and he said, the master and the princess are a natural pair, how can they have a bad relationship?
Mo Xuanchen listened to his words and looked at Yun Jinchu who was smiling a little distractedly, while Xiahou Yu muttered in his ear that the princess was different from the prince at the beginning.
He said that although Yun Jinchu was cold to him, if he really didn't bother to inquire about his affairs, he also said that in order to make him more smooth in the Zhenfu Division, the princess also asked people to send wine over from time to time, and she always did her best for what the prince wanted to do.
Zhu Qi stood behind and looked at the master who looked a little happy because of Xiahou Yu's words, and opened his mouth with some hesitation.
The princess did her best, wasn't that because she was in the same boat as the prince?
She sent wine to the Zhenfu Division, wasn't it because the business on the first floor needed to be taken care of by the Zhenfu Division, and her trading house had to have some connections in the Zhenfu Division to sell wine in the north?
Also, has the master forgotten that the princess still has Zhang Heli in her hand......
A few days ago, he also heard the princess say to the mulberry leaf beside her that after the master became successful, she would take the little girl to leave Beijing to enjoy happiness, and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to raise a few beautiful young people to live her happy life.
Zhu Qi saw Mo Xuanchen walking inside, and hurriedly pulled Xiahou Yu.
"What for?"
"Talk less."
Xiahou Yu was inexplicable: "Why?" ”
Zhu Qi looked at him with pity: he was afraid that his master would turn around and kill him.
