In the palace, Concubine Xiao Xian asked people to prepare gifts, and personally helped the four princes sort out their clothes, "It's not easy to go out, don't rush back." ”

"Hmm."

The fourth prince's little face showed his first smile in these days.

On the day of the palace banquet, not only those ladies were frightened, but the four princes were also frightened.

After returning to his bedroom, he didn't dare to fall asleep, and Concubine Xiao Xian went over to accompany him for a night after learning about it.

Fortunately, the emperor was in a bad mood and didn't have time to take care of these, otherwise it would be inevitable for the four princes to be reprimanded, how old they were, and let the mother concubine sleep with him.

Concubine Xiao Xian touched his head, "Tell your grandfather, we are all right, let him not worry." ”

The fourth prince nodded heavily.

The aunt in charge sighed in her heart, the mother raised the four princes too ignorant of the world, which is not a good thing.

"Go ahead."

The four princes took people out of the palace.

Before he arrived at the Dingguo Mansion, the officials who were waiting to go to the Dingguo Mansion got the news, and each ordered someone to prepare gifts and go to the Dingguo Mansion two quarters of an hour later to pay New Year's greetings.

The entrance of the Dingguo Mansion.

The Xiao family is here.

Xiao Qian was draped in a thick coat and coughed a few times from time to time.

The Duchess of Dingguo also had a sick face, and was supported by two maids to stand beside the Duke of Dingguo.

The four princes lifted the curtain and saw this scene. He hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked a few steps briskly to support the Duchess of Dingguo, "Grandmother should not come out if she is unwell, and Feng'er is not an outsider." ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished."

As he spoke, Ding Guogong took the lead in saluting.

He is the grandfather of the country, so he does not need to kneel and bow.

The fourth prince first supported him, and then stopped Xiao Zheng and Xiao Qian, who were about to kneel, "It's all free, it's too cold, let's hurry into the house." ”

Dingguo Gong let go of his body, and after the four princes entered the mansion, he ordered, "Close the door of the mansion." ”

The heavy door was slowly shut.

Hearing the news, the officials who wanted to come to pay New Year's greetings were dumbfounded.

Everyone went to the flower hall and took a seat.

The four princes instructed the palace people to bring things up.

"This was prepared by the mother, and the mother also said, let you not worry about her."

"Is your mother really okay?"

Duchess Dingguo covered her heart, she was really uncomfortable. It's not scared, but it's angry with Concubine Rong, what kind of grudge does her daughter have with her, she still cheated before she died.

"Grandmother, don't worry, my mother is really fine, and I'm fine."

In the last sentence, the fourth prince said that his heart was weak, and his voice was obviously weaker, how could Dingguo Gong not hear it, and he didn't expose him.

Brushing his beard, "Miss Song, they have already come and gone to the kitchen, saying that they are making a few delicious dishes." ”

The eyes of the four princes suddenly lit up.

He hadn't eaten Song Wanyue's cooking for a long time.

The housekeeper walked in with a smile, "Master, Aunt Sun said that everything is ready, let you go to the dining room." ”

The fourth prince was surprised, "What time is this time to eat?" ”

"What do you think!"

Xiao Qian laughed, "Brother-in-law is asking us to go over and make dumplings." ”

"Making dumplings?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law said, whoever packs it will eat it, and those who can't wrap it will be hungry at noon today."

The fourth prince swallowed his saliva, he really didn't know, there were people to serve him in the palace, let alone make dumplings, and he didn't wear his own clothes.

Dingguo Gong has never wrapped it, it is very strange, he got up first, and everyone also stood up and went to the kitchen.

The noodles and stuffing have been made, Song Yin and Song Si are rolling the skin and making dumplings, and Xiao Yao is learning to roll the dough with a rolling pin on the side.

When I saw the crowd coming in, I blushed a little.

She was injured on the day she married Song Si, raised for several months, and later became pregnant again, and after the child was born, she was busy taking care of the child, and she never thought about learning to cook, let alone making dumplings.

"Grandfather and grandmother, father-in-law."

Song Si wore an apron and greeted calmly, and Song Yin also nodded to everyone.

The fourth prince's eyes fell on his face, only glanced at it, and quickly moved away, and began to roll up his sleeves with excitement on his face.

"Wash your hands first, and we'll teach you how to wrap them."

The people washed their hands and gathered around the table.

Not to mention Dingguo and Xiao Zheng, even the Duchess of Dingguo and Mrs. Xiao Zheng can't make dumplings, there are cooks at home, where to use them.

Song Si gave a rolling pin to one of the men and asked them to follow Song Yin Xu to roll the dough.

It seems to be a very simple thing, but it is difficult for them to go to the sky, and a few people are sweating profusely, but they have not rolled out a single one that can be used.

"I gave up."

Xiao Qian put down the rolling pin.

It's too hard, harder than a fight.

With him at the beginning, Xiao Zheng didn't want to learn anymore.

Song Yin opened her mouth unhurriedly, "Yue'er said, if anyone can't learn, let alone dumplings, she is not allowed to eat the dishes she makes at noon." ”

Xiao Zheng quickly picked up the rolling pin that was about to be put on the board again. Isn't it just rolling dough, he can't learn it if he doesn't believe it.

Xiao Qian wanted to have the backbone to say that if he didn't eat it, he wouldn't eat it, but when he thought of those fragrant dishes, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and muttered, "Miss Song is too ruthless." ”

"What did you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

Song Yin glanced at him.

Xiao Qian's heart tightened, and he hurriedly picked up the rolling pin.

The four princes looked at all this with great peace of mind.

He thought that no matter what he faced in the future, he would remember today's scene and remember the family that made him feel at ease.

"I rolled it out!"

Ding Guogong proudly raised his rolled dough, shook it in front of everyone, and put it in the hands of his old wife.

Duchess Dingguo made the first dumpling in the same way as Song Si, although it was not good-looking, but it was enough to make her happy.

"I rolled it out too!"

"Me too!"

"Look, is my dumpling bag good-looking?"

……

Listening to the sound coming from the dining room, the corners of the mouths of the housekeeper guarding the courtyard never fell.

It's been a lot of years since there was such a happy scene in the house.

That's nice!

……

An hour later, the dumplings were wrapped, and Song Wanyue's dishes were ready.

The crowd cheered hard, and there was nothing left to eat.

For the first time in his life, the four princes were able to eat, and they collapsed on the chair without any image.

Xiao Qian is similar to him.

Song Yin squinted at the two of them.

These two guys, whether they were grabbing vegetables or dumplings just now, one was faster than the other, and they deserved to eat it.

Sensing his eyes, Xiao Qian turned his head and ignored it, he didn't care what his cousin was, dumplings and vegetables were the most affordable to eat in his mouth.

The fourth prince also felt it, subconsciously sat up straight, and smiled flatteringly to Song Yin, he really didn't mean to rob it, he didn't control it.

All this was seen by Dingguo Gong, he coughed, and relieved the siege for the fourth prince, "When will you go back?" ”

The fourth prince immediately replied, "The concubine said, I finally came back, and I am not in a hurry to go back." ”

Ding Guogong nodded, "In that case, let's go to the study and play a few games of chess." ”
