For lunch, Xiao Nianzhi told the truth.

She didn't mention much about Xiao Qing's birthday.

After all, after mentioning it, did she invite Yan Xingxuan, or not?

Invite, the family hasn't communicated in advance, so it's not good to take people back in such a hurry.

Don't invite, it's a little rude.

So, she didn't mention it much, and just honestly asked Changshan to buy wontons.

Yan Xingxuan heard it, where is there any nutrition?

He opened another food box with a quick hand, and at the same time quickly said, "I brought some mutton patties, steamed tofu, roasted fish, and stewed chicken......

If it weren't for the fact that some soup and water were not very convenient to carry, he actually wanted to bring more.

When Xiao Nianzhi heard the mutton cake, he couldn't help but be a little greedy.

It's not bad lately, but who doesn't like meat?

Especially in autumn and winter, which need nourishment.

Xiao Nianzhi has a small folding table in this room that Tuo Yan Xingxuan helped to make before.

When eating, put it down, and when not in use, you can fold it up and stand by the wall, and it does not take up space.

The table is not big, but it is still okay for two or three people to eat.

The table is not high, so they need to sit on a small stool, so they can eat like this, which is a little curled up, but they can surround the stove, and it is still very comfortable in winter.

The two of them quickly set up the table, set up the small chairs, and then put all the food on the table.

When it was time to clean up, Changshan happened to come back with the wontons.

They have another wonton, Changshan eats every day, and they all stand at the door, and their treatment has improved today.

Because Yan Xingxuan was there, he squeezed to the side with Lai Shun and Yan Xingxuan ate on the small table they brought.

The fragrant and soft mutton patty tastes quite different, and as soon as he took the first bite, Xiao Nianzhi was amazed.

Slightly provoking his eyebrows, after swallowing the mutton patty, Xiao Nianzhi asked in a low voice, "Which chef's craft is this?"

Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi liked it, Yan Xingxuan was quite happy: "The chef in the house, if you like it, bring it back to taste something else in the future, he still has a lot of specialty dishes."

The chef in his house must be not small, otherwise he will not be able to satisfy his pursuit of food.

Knowing that it was the other party's cook, Xiao Nianzhi nodded, but didn't say whether it was a question of whether he was going.

Yan Xingxuan was not disappointed, anyway, he was full of expectations and confidence for the future of himself and the little girl.

Of course, there is no confidence in the occasional one.

For example, when I came to Yamen today, I heard that Xiao Nianzhi went to watch polo yesterday, and Meng Yinze thought about it.

Meng Yinze......

Hearing this name, Yan Xingxuan wanted to roll his eyes.

So?

There are so many noble girls, you don't like it, what do you want to do to provoke me?

Although Yan Xingxuan was a little anxious, it was not too much.

Because he knew that Xiao Nianzhi had never responded to anyone else except him.

This alone made his heart a lot more stable, and he didn't need to be in a hurry because of these little things.

If you're too stingy, you might not like it.

Yan Xingxuan was thinking about being careful as he introduced the other meals on the table.

After the two of them had eaten, they cleaned up the rest.

Xiao Nianzhi was studying cement, and after Yan Xingxuan came, there was just one more person to discuss.

The two discussed cement for an afternoon, and in the process, Yan Xingxuan once felt that he was illiterate.

Because, there are many things that he really can't understand.

However, he still tried hard to put forward his own shallow suggestions.

Yes, Yan Xingxuan felt that he obviously didn't understand, and he still had to make suggestions, but he was shallow.

But if he didn't say it, looking at Xiao Nianzhi thinking with his eyebrows tightened, Yan Xingxuan was very hearted

Hurt.

can only understand it by himself, so he will put forward some suggestions and see if he can help Xiao Nianzhi.

In fact, not only Yan Xingxuan felt that his head was big, but Xiao Nianzhi also felt a headache.

But this thing can't be studied without research.

In the end, Yan Xingxuan couldn't stand it anymore, and suggested in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's go to the Ministry of Industry or the official kiln to study it, if we only have a theory here, I'm afraid we won't understand the discussion."

Xiao Nianzhi thought about it for a while and felt that it was okay.

However, now that I have an official position, it is not like in the past, I can just take a leave.

Therefore, I have to ask Your Majesty for this matter.

Yan Xingxuan thought about it, he had just come and was going back to the palace, and his face collapsed.

However, he didn't want Xiao Nianzhi to be unhappy, so he quickly squeezed his face again, trying to make himself look happy.

There was no result discussed, and it was time to get off duty, so the two of them simply cleaned up and walked out.

Yan Xingxuan insisted on sending Xiao Nianzhi home, and Xiao Nianzhi did not refuse.

When the two of them returned to the Xiao Mansion, the carriage of the Xiao family's father and son happened to arrive at the gate of the mansion.

Seeing Yan Xingxuan, Xiao Siye and Xiao Zhou, who had already faintly understood the inside story, glanced at each other, exchanged signals, and then Xiao Siye stood up and invited Yan Xingxuan: "Your Highness, today's young son's birthday, the house is ready to have a small gathering, can Your Highness enjoy the light and come over?"

Hearing Xiao Siye ask, Yan Xingxuan almost said uncontrollably: Cocoa, cocoa, cocoa, it's too coa!

However, not wanting others to see the joke, he tried to be reserved for a while, and then nodded: "Then it's bothering."

Xiao Zhou saw through it on the side, but his eyes were already very meaningful.

Xiao Qing, who didn't know anything, was full of question marks.

So, when did they still have contact with His Royal Highness King Wei?

He was puzzled, but looking at his father and brother's unfathomable expressions, Xiao lightly suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and followed the team to the mansion with a smile.

Yan Xingxuan was looking forward to it early in the morning, and he could enter the mansion today and have dinner with Xiao Nianzhi.

As early as the Mid-Autumn Festival before, Yan Xingxuan was already secretly looking forward to entering the Xiao Mansion and admiring the moon with Xiao Nianzhi.

However, that time there was no chance.

Now that he can finally come and eat, he has been preparing since he heard the news in the morning.

Therefore, now that he has passed the house, he is also prepared, and he did not come empty-handed.

There is a part of the gift for Xiao Nianweaving, and another is for Xiao Qing's birthday.

The meals at the birthday banquet are naturally more sumptuous.

Xiao Nianzhi had asked Xiao Qing to cook before, but now although Yan Xingxuan came, it didn't disrupt her plan.

She has to do some of it, and Aunt Qin does the rest.

Of course, the most important link still needs Xiao Nianzhi.

That is, birthday cake!

Xiao Nianzhi deliberately asked someone to bring back a letter last night, asking Aunt Qin to get some fresh milk this morning.

After all, whether it's butter or whipped cream, you need fresh milk.

Moreover, it is only possible to let it stand for a period of time and the whey is separated.

If it is cold today, if it is left for a day, the whey will probably be separated, which is also convenient, Xiao Nianzhi extracts whipping cream and butter from it.

In fact, whipping cream and butter are interconnected, both are extracted and separated from milk, but the techniques are different.
