112 Gift-giving

On the fourth day of junior high school, the Wang family and the Jia family all came to the Xue family again.

Mrs. Xue admired her brother's heart, and stared at Xue Baobao early in the morning to make some food for Wang Ziteng herself.

Xue Baobao, "......"

Okay, even for the sake of the 220,000 silver that I don't expect to get back!

Wang Ziteng is a military general, and he is probably impatient to eat those sweet and greasy, Xue Baobao looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, and decided to make a potsticker, and then a bowl of rice noodles across the bridge.

Because Mrs. Xue was staring at it well, Xue Baobao didn't dare to do it himself, so he chose a fat hen, stewed chicken bones, and steamed the chicken breast for later use.

Then choose another serving of pork to wash and chop into meat puree, chop green onions, mince ginger, mix ginger, green onions and all seasonings into the pork puree, and wrap them in the pot sticker skin.

After the cook wrapped the potstickers, Xue Baobao heard that Wang Ziteng had arrived at the gate, so he began to move.

Heat oil in a pan, add the potstickers, and fry for about five minutes, until the potstickers turn an attractive golden brown.

Xue Baobao estimated the amount of Wang Ziteng's food, and only made Wang Ziteng's amount alone.

When the potstickers are ready, the chicken broth is ready, served with chicken breast and greens, and a casserole of steaming rice noodles across the bridge is boiled.

After everything was done, Xue Baobao ordered to put it in the food box and personally carry it to see Wang Ziteng, with a sincere attitude and not pretentious, "That day, my uncle said that he wanted to taste my craftsmanship, so I specially prepared a morning meal for my uncle."

It's all homely country stuff, and you can't get into the elegant hall, so please don't dislike it."

It's only my uncle who said you wanted to try my craft, and the others didn't say it, so I only prepare your uncle, absolutely obedient, definitely not stingy!

Wang Ziteng didn't know if he understood her subtext, smiled and thanked him, and saw that the potstickers were attractive in color, so he first sandwiched one.

As soon as I entered the mouth, I felt that it was burnt and tender, extremely delicious, and I couldn't help but praise, "It's really good, I can be regarded as having eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but I am the first one who can make a potsticker so hot."

Xue Baobao smiled, "It's the hardest thing to be able to make ordinary things real, my uncle praised it, I'm still far behind."

Wang Ziteng said to Mrs. Xue, "Sister Bao was smart when she was a child, and she became more and more out of her way when she grew up, and this sentence alone can teach many ladies beyond her reach."

Xue Baobao, "......"

Uncle Wang, do you think your rainbow fart is blowing too much?

Mrs. Xue didn't think it was an exaggeration at all, patted Xue Baobao's hand and smiled, "Today is my own family, I'll tell you the truth, Sister Bao is with her father, smart, brainy, what to do."

Since he was a child, he has been reading books well and calculating accounts well, and those little hands can see the afterimage when he makes an abacus, and his father can't keep up! ”

Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "I know this, since I was a child, I said that Sister Bao will be a creative and promising person in the future, isn't that true?" ”

A casserole of rice noodles, a plate of potstickers, although the things are simple, but the more you eat, the more fragrant they are, Wang Ziteng swept it away after a while, touched his belly and smiled, "Eat too much and eat too much, Sister Bao is too delicious, but it makes my uncle lose his temper."

Xue Baobao showed the first sincere smile after seeing Wang Ziteng, "If my uncle likes it, next time I come, I will make it for my uncle."

Wang Ziteng smiled and nodded, "Okay, definitely."

Mrs. Xue saw that their nephew and uncle were harmonious, and began to wipe her tears again.

Sister Bao believes it this time, her uncle can't be compared with her aunt and her cousin!

Wang Ziteng still had a meal, and after having breakfast in Xue Mansion, he was led around by Mrs. Xue, Xue Pan, and Xue Baobao's brothers and sisters, and then left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, Wang Xiluan revealed his original form, and snorted coldly in a low voice, "Dirty skills, dare to show off everywhere!" ”

Xue Baobao immediately sneered, "What kind of high-class elegant skills do you know, take them out for us to see, is it piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or poetry and articles?" ”

She said as if she had suddenly remembered, covered her with a handkerchief and giggled, "Oh, I forgot, my cousin doesn't even recognize words."

Not to mention what kind of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and articles, it is the recipe that is placed in front of my cousin, but I am afraid that my cousin will not recognize one of the big characters! ”

The adopted daughter of the Wang family has always pursued "no talent is virtue", from Mrs. Wang to Wang Xifeng and Wang Xiluan.

Wang Xiluan dared to laugh at Xue Baobao because he had a hard injury, so naturally he couldn't take advantage of it, and said hatefully, "You will only pretend to be obedient in front of your father!"

As soon as my father leaves, you will show your true form, and I will tell my father and tell him your true colors! ”

Xue Baobao sighed, "It turns out that my cousin is jealous that I have won my uncle's love!" I'm so jealous that I want to sue him! ”

Wang Xiluan scolded hatefully, "Why should I be jealous of you? If you want to be jealous, you are also jealous of me!

You have your own mother, and you don't have a father to raise, so you have to rob me of your father! You're jealous of me! ”

The prince left, and Mrs. Xue told Xue Pan to go to the front yard to take care of her, and the people from Jiafu and the Xue family should arrive soon, while she and Mrs. Wang took the two girls to the backyard.

Xue Baobao and Wang Xiluan fell behind the two wives, and at first the two of them fought quietly, except for the personal maid, no one heard it, but Wang Xiluan shouted like this, and the deaf also heard it.

Mrs. Xue paused abruptly, turned around and glared at Wang Xiluan.

Wang Xiluan was startled, and knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he refused to admit his mistake, and hurriedly ran behind Mrs. Wang, and said reluctantly, "What is my aunt staring at me like this?" Am I wrong? ”

Mrs. Xue's eyes were red, but she couldn't say a word.

Wang Xiluan is right, Pan'er and Sister Bao are indeed young fathers, she hopes that Sister Bao can please her brother, although there are factors of admiration for her brother, but more of her hope that Sister Bao'er, whose father died early, can seek the protection of her brother.

Wang Xiluan's words, she couldn't refute.

Xue Baobao's face also turned cold, if she said that she and Wang Xiluan didn't deal with each other in every way before, most of them were because she was afraid that Wang Xiluan would paste Yu Xin, but at this time, she really hated her.

"Come on, send Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang out."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect Xue Baobao to open her mouth to drive their mother and daughter away, and the words of apology came to her mouth and swallowed it again, and sneered, "It's just that the children have a quarrel for a while, and as a junior, they dare to open their mouths to drive their aunt away, it's really good to educate!" ”

Although Mrs. Wang didn't say it as blatantly as Wang Xiluan, the subtext was clear, but she was also scolding Xue Baobao for having a mother and no father to teach.

Mrs. Xue was so angry that she trembled all over, and flicked her sleeves suddenly, "Come on, send them out!" If you don't want to go, throw it out of me! ”

She said that she pulled Xue Baobao and left, Mrs. Wang saw that the mother-in-law of Xue Mansion hugged her, and she was eyeing her, obviously waiting for her not to leave, and she was about to throw it out, and she hated it very much, snorted heavily, and pulled Wang Xiluan away.

The merchants really take themselves seriously!

……

……

After Wang Ziteng left Xuefu, he went to Yangfu.

Three years ago, he was promoted to the control of nine provinces, and he is expected to be promoted to the capital of nine provinces after the year, which seems to have a bright future, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is going to abandon him.

From the moment the emperor transferred him from the capital, the emperor had already made up his mind, and he only cared about the emperor valuing him, and it was not easy to do it openly.

This time, he finally asked the emperor for grace to return to the capital, so he had to move around and beg the emperor to transfer him back to Beijing.

When I return to Beijing, it will be easy to do.

Originally, Yu Xin was the best candidate, the big celebrity in front of the emperor, and now he is also his rightful nephew, and his words are definitely more effective than others.

Two years ago, he wrote back a letter and told his wife to promise his daughter to Yu Xin.

He thought that he had given up his daughter, and he would be able to entrap Yu Xin, and he didn't want his wife and daughter to forget if they didn't get things done, and he offended Yu Xin fiercely, and even offended his sister and Sister Bao!

He couldn't, so he had to plan slowly, and finally waited until he returned to Beijing, but he didn't want Yu Xin but was not in the capital, so he had to find another way.

Generations of queens and concubines, the hereditary reckless Chengenhou Mansion Yangfu is his second choice.

Now pure filial piety, if you can ask for the grace of the queen mother, maybe the emperor will open up and allow him to return to Beijing.

It is also strange to say that the Yang family has produced beautiful women for generations, and most of the daughters are virtuous and intelligent, but the men are rarely outstanding.

Because of the grace and status of the daughters of the Yang family, it doesn't matter if the men of the Yang family are not used, they have always ranked first in the Daxiao family, and they are extremely dignified in front of the emperors of all dynasties.

This generation of Cheng Enhou is the half-brother of the Queen Mother and the father of the Queen of the Sheep.

Like most men in the Yang family, he is not outstanding, but he has no bad habits, does not do anything wrong, and his biggest hobby is raising monkeys.

He has two characteristics of raising monkeys, one is that he treats monkeys as sons, eats and sleeps with monkeys, and teaches monkeys various skills, which is more patient than teaching his sons.

Another special one is to love one and throw one another, and the monkey that you like no matter how much you like it, as long as you meet a better and smarter one, you will mercilessly abandon the previous one.

I heard that the monkeys he has now are almost as smart and clever as people.

Wang Ziteng had the heart to plead for mercy, and since he had been prepared, after some greetings, he ordered the black cloth on the cage he brought to be lifted.

Inside is a small golden snub-nosed monkey, with a body of hair that is oily and slippery, shining golden in the sun, extremely beautiful, and it is definitely the dream monkey of the monkey lovers in the world.

No matter how beautiful the monkey was, Yang Chengenhou had seen a lot, and after only a glance, his eyes fell on the "young man" who was hugging the monkey tightly and baring his teeth threateningly.

No, it should be a monkey, the boy has a human face, looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his hands and feet are no different from humans.

The snow-white skin was covered with a thick layer of silver hair, and a short tail was faintly visible wagging nervously behind him.

Yang Chengenhou was dumbfounded, "This, this, what is this?" ”

Wang Ziteng smiled slightly, "The Monkey King, the Monkey King who is worshiped as the king by all the monkeys, is very fierce, and it is even more flexible when he climbs a tree, and it took us a lot of effort to catch it."

Yang Chengenhou was skeptical, and the prince stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "If the Hou Ye doesn't believe it, please find a place with tall trees to try."

Yang Chengenhou likes to raise monkeys, so he deliberately set up a very spacious yard, which is full of trees, and there are two rows of extremely tall metasequoia.

Wang Ziteng ordered the chief to take the short crossbow in his hand before ordering the cage to be opened.

As soon as the cage opened, the golden monkey was about to jump out, but was held down by the young man.

The prince said, "Give you a chance, as long as you can escape from this courtyard, I will not pursue you again."

The young man stared at Wang Ziteng vigilantly, and Wang Ziteng smiled slightly.

The young man didn't know if he understood Wang Ziteng's words, and after a while, Fang was vigilant and walked out of the cage with the golden monkey in his arms.

He walked out of the cage more than ten feet away, and seeing that everyone outside the cage did not move, he suddenly threw the golden snub-nosed monkey in his arms towards the lush trees, and jumped after him.

He jumped farther than the golden monkey, narrowly grabbed a hanging branch, and jumped up the branch with great agility.

"Hands-on".

The prince's retinue took a short crossbow and shot at the young man.

Yang Chengenhou was shocked and was busy trying to stop it.

Wang Ziteng smiled, "Master Hou doesn't have to worry, the arrows are dulled, equipped with fine needles, and anesthetics, just let them escape, and they can't hurt them."

Yang Chengenhou was relieved at this time, and he didn't want to shoot several arrows with him, so he asked the young man to hide by relying on his flexible body and relying on the branches and leaves.

Wang Ziteng couldn't bear to grab the short crossbow, took aim, and hit the young man's right arm with precision.

The boy screamed in pain, clinging to the branch with his legs and feet like suction, and with his left hand free, he drew his short arrow and threw it at the prince.

His head was so good that he came straight to the prince's door, but unfortunately he had climbed to a very high place, and his strength was not strong enough, so he fell to the ground weakly.

The boy missed, and continued to flee with the golden monkey, and soon disappeared into the branches and leaves of the evergreen trees.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng had no intention of making another move, Yang Chengenhou hurriedly said, "He just injured his arm, what if he escapes?" The golden monkey wasn't hurt! ”

Wang Ziteng smiled, "Master Hou, look at it, they are very smart."

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, the young man appeared again with the golden snub-nosed monkey, squatting on a branch not far away and baring his teeth and grinning at the prince.

His right arm hung limply over his shoulder, showing that the anesthetic had taken effect.

Wang Ziteng took out a red porcelain bottle from his purse and waved it at them, and they screamed again, as if threatening.

Wang Ziteng continued to wave the porcelain vase in his hand, and after a while, the young man finally picked up the golden monkey and jumped off the tree, and obediently returned to the cage.

Chang Sui closed the cage, Wang Ziteng took out a pill from the porcelain bottle and threw it to the child, the young man caught it flexibly and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.

The attendant threw him another purse, and he let out a low roar, opened it, and grabbed the nuts inside with the golden monkey one by one.

Yang Chengenhou was amazed, and Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "I happened to meet this in the mountains, and I thought it was fun so I caught it."

From the beginning, I caught it with a crossbow bolt smeared with anesthetic, and then I gave it medicine to let him know that if he didn't take the medicine, the place where he hit the arrow would be ruined.

No matter how smart this monkey king is, he doesn't know that the anesthetic on the crossbow arrow can be slowly solved without medicine, and every time he is hit by an arrow, he will obediently return to the cage if he can't grab the medicine.

If he doesn't leave, this golden monkey won't escape, and Hou Ye is more capable than me, and he will definitely be smarter."

Yang Chengenhou saw that the hunter was happy, and he had already moved, but he didn't dare to respond easily, and hesitated, "Lord Wang sent such a heavy gift——"
