Huai'an originally looked at the dazzling array of dishes, but when it was time to eat, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

He turned his head sideways to look at Rong He, and Rong He's expression was the same as his, and he even shrugged his shoulders innocently at him, indicating that what he ate last time was different from this one.

After the birthday banquet, the emperor set up the Qianqing Palace, and several princesses, concubines, and foreign wives retired one after another. King Qi's family rarely entered the palace and was left in Shoukang Palace to talk to the Queen Mother.

As night fell, the stars were shining, and Rong He nodded to the eunuch beside King Qi.

After a while, only a muffled sound of "boom" was heard, King Qi and the princess trembled reflexively, and the queen mother looked out of the palace gate strangely.

With a rapid and long scream, a flickering point of light rose into the air, blooming a huge fire tree in the sky, but it was fleeting, turning into a rain of flowers scattered in the sky.

"Didn't you say that this year's fireworks were canceled?" The Queen Mother asked left and right.

Rong He got up and said, "Great grandmother, this is a congratulatory gift prepared for you by your grandson!" I wish the Queen Mother a good birthday and a long and blessed life. ”

The Queen Mother nodded in surprise, got up slowly, and walked out of the palace gate surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and King Qi's family followed.

Then came the second, and then the third, and the silent night sky suddenly turned into a sea of colors.

The Queen Mother's face shone brightly under the bright light, and even the lines at the end of her eyes stretched a lot. She is the most noble woman in the country, but she is young and widowed, middle-aged and childless, guarding the huge palace ban, and she has not seen the colorful world for a long time.

Huai'an followed King Qi's family and left the palace before the key was dropped at the palace gate.

When I went home to change my clothes, I lay in my father's room, chattering and complaining about how unpalatable the imperial meal was: "It's cold, it's tasteless, it's still big fish and big meat that are burned and cooked, and the peony soup is bitter, and the bite of the goose wood can't be bitten......"

The husband and wife couldn't stop laughing, and it was really a very happy thing to pit their son.

Earlier, when they saw him looking forward to eating the imperial meal, the two of them held back and didn't say that the imperial meal was unpalatable, especially the imperial banquet, which was a well-known thing in the court.

The royal meals and banquets were uniformly cooked by Guanglu Temple. As a royal "canteen", Guanglu Temple has never lived up to the meaning of the word "canteen", and the taste of the meal is comparable to that of a large pot of rice...... Of course, there is still a difference between the imperial meal and the big pot of rice, the difference is that it is meticulously carved and looks unique, especially in the palace banquet, pomp and luxury have nothing to say.

But what is the use of seeing and not eating? It tastes the same as chewing wax, and it is not as good as the taste of a folk restaurant.

Huai'an not only ate today, but also ate two meals, two meals!

Shen Yu looked at the son of the puffer fish and gave him a kind heart: "There is such a proverb popular in the capital: the article of the Hanlin Academy, the sword and gun of the Arsenal Division; The prescription of the Tai Hospital, the tea soup of Guanglu Temple. ①”

"What do you mean?" Huai'an was confused.

"It's in vain." Shen Yu said with a smile.

Huai'an fell headlong on the bed and knocked down Sister Peng. Sister Peng is round, not afraid of falling, get up with both hands and feet, climb to a farther place and continue to read her "New Fairy Tale Edition", although she only recognizes dozens of words, but her father and mother told her a lot, just look at the illustrations can remember the content.

Huai'an sighed: "Dad's article is not in vain, there are many good prescriptions in the Tai Hospital, the knives and guns of the Arsenal Division are indeed a little worse, but they are also constantly improving, only this tea soup of Guanglu Temple, I have a deep understanding!" ”

Xu Tinglan joked to him: "It's also life experience, ordinary people can't eat it if they want to." ”

Huai'an rolled on the bed angrily, in fact, no matter how unpalatable the food in Guanglu Temple was, it was still much inferior to the dark cuisine of his mother. The reason why he was going crazy was because of an imbalance in his heart: "But the last time the prince entered the palace, he clearly said that the imperial food was delicious." ”

Shen Yu couldn't help but smile and gave him science again: "Because the imperial food is unpalatable today, the daily meals are all taken care of by the eunuchs' 'inner kitchen'." ”

"Huh?!" Huai'an was even more devastated, excited for more than a month, and sacrificed a lot of time to develop soap, and he felt like a Li ghost!

……

"What is this?" Xu Tinglan wanted to take Sister Peng to wash, but she almost stepped on a roll of paper on the ground, picked it up and unfolded it, and it turned out to be five beautiful big characters - Yurong Skin Soap.

"Oh, that's the word that the Queen Mother gave me with soap." As soon as Huai'an's words fell, he saw his father and mother gasp and stand up.

"The Queen Mother's Mobao, you dare to throw it around?!" Xu Tinglan said angrily, and ordered Yunling to quickly put it away and take it to the small ancestral hall to worship, when it will come in handy, and when will it be taken again.

Huai'an scratched his head embarrassedly: "Just talking about the imperial meal, forget it." ”

Shen Yu glanced at him: "Why do you think about eating." ”

Huai An smiled: "Not exactly, I'm still thinking about money." ”

Shen Yu rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to beat him, Huai'an rolled behind Sister Peng and hid, Sister Peng glanced at her brother in disgust, and moved farther away.

Shen Yu was afraid that her daughter would fall out of bed, so she didn't bother with her son anymore, so she leaned on the couch table and picked up an idle book.

"Dad, Peng'er is still watching "New Fairy Tales"?" Huai'an asked.

Shen Yu casually said "um": "It's easy to understand, and there are a lot of illustrations, she likes to read it, and she sleeps with it every day." ”

Huai'an nodded, no wonder Shopkeeper Lin wrote that this book has been selling the most recently, and it seems that it is indeed very popular with children, and he decided to find this author called "Empty Mountain Wild Lao" to see if he has any other works to publish......

Shen Yu saw that he stopped talking, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he saw that his son was smiling like a chicken thief, and he didn't know what he was doing to get promoted and make a fortune.

He coughed lightly and asked, "Explain your affairs, nothing went wrong, right?" ”

Huai'an suddenly forgot what was going on, sat cross-legged, and reported to his father everything that happened on Wufeng Tower today.

Shen Yu praised: "Not bad, very clever!" ”

Huai'an shook his head proudly, waited for a while, and found that there was no follow-up to these five words.

"End...... Finished? ”

Shen Yu looked at him: "What else?" ”

"Dad, won't you reward me with something?" Huai'an's eyes are shining, in order to open a soap workshop, he is now plucking goose, and he will not miss any opportunity to make a fortune.

Shen Yu's gaze was even more confused: "What can I reward you?" ”

Huai'an patted his head and almost forgot that the financial power was in the hands of his mother, and his father was poorer than himself.

So he turned to the good mother again, and showed a sly smile: "Mother, I have a good project, do you want to consider investment?" I don't tell him about this kind of earning without losing money, just by virtue of our relationship......"

Before he finished speaking, because he was too noisy, he was thrown out by his father with his collar, as if he was trying to prove with practical actions that their relationship was not really good.

Chapter 98

Huai'an stood helplessly outside the door of his father's room, and after a while, the door opened again, and his two shoes were thrown out.

Angry, he stomped his feet on the spot and walked to his house with his shoes. When he was five years old, his parents still put shoes and socks on him, and at the age of eight, he threw him out of the room barefoot.

He deliberately made a sound with heavy steps to express his anger - he wanted to rebel, he wanted to rebel! He wants to study all night, so scared that his parents come to put him to sleep!

As soon as he opened the book, he fell asleep on the desk, not even knowing who carried him to bed.

……

The next morning, Huai'an woke up from a warm sun, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and suddenly sat up in shock—what time was it?

"Brother An'er woke up?" Hao's mother came in from outside: "The master went to the ya, and told you to sleep a little longer." ”

Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief, presumably he got up early and went to bed late yesterday, and his father was afraid that he wouldn't sleep enough, so he deliberately asked him to get up an hour late. Thinking of this, he warmed up and warmed up in the bed, he hadn't been in bed for many, many days, and he had almost forgotten what it was like to have a weekend.

Hao's mother patted him and said with a smile: "Since you wake up, get up, the meal is ready." ”

Huai'an has adapted to the rhythm of life of the ancients who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and I really felt hungry when I got up a little late.

What a terrible biological clock!

So while getting up and going to the hall, he shook his head and muttered, "No, no, I want to be a small pavilion elder, don't go to work as a social animal." ”

He ignored one point, Xiaoge Old Wu Qi also goes to work every day.

Xu Tinglan came out of the East House, she got up late today, and when Huai'an woke up and had breakfast together, she heard Huai'an have words in her mouth, and asked strangely: "What do you say?" ”

Huai'an's mouth was sweet: "I said, good morning mother!" ”

Xu Tinglan responded with a smile and ordered Yunling and Tiandong to set up a meal.

While feeding Sister Peng, Huai'an sandwiched a piece of jade belt cake for her mother: "Mother, try this." ”

In fact, it is an ordinary cake with preserved fruits and dried fruits, Xu Tinglan doesn't like to eat it, but because of his son's kindness, he still sends it to his mouth.

Seeing this, Huai'an took another cucumber with sauce and put it on a small plate in front of his mother.

Xu Tinglan smiled helplessly: "Nothing to do, let's talk, what the hell is the idea?" ”

Huai'an said: "Isn't it right to be filial to your mother, how can it be called dedication?" ”

Xu Tinglan nodded and said, "Yes, my son is just simple filial piety, and he must have nothing else to think about." ”

And sure enough, I didn't ask anymore.

Huai'an was uncomfortable, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, there is still something wrong." ”

Xu Tinglan actually knew what he was planning for a long time, but it was not good to make a decision privately last night.

It's just a small workshop, of course she can contribute, not to mention making money, even if she loses all the money to her son's tuition, she won't care.

But running a business will definitely consume energy, a children's bookstore is enough for him to be busy, and he needs to add a soap workshop, and he can't read?

Therefore, it was not for nothing that Shen Yu threw Huai'an out last night, and the husband and wife needed to have a small meeting to sum it up. This child is not the same as ordinary children - of course, every child in their family is different from other people's families, which is not surprising - so they need to be taught according to their aptitude.

Shen Yu's point of view is that he hopes that he Huai'an can study in peace, and in the future, he will be a prison student and go to Guozijian for a few years. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be an official, you can study well, keep the old mansion and grange, and be a quiet and wealthy employee, anyway, he has a father and brother, and he can always be carefree.

Xu Tinglan disagrees, first of all, although Huai'an is not a reading material, he is not mediocre, he is like a father and mother, and his business mind is like an uncle, and the future has infinite possibilities. He is only eight years old now, but he has already arranged everything for him to be eighty years old, and pointing out a broad road for him to go is not necessarily for his good, and it may also delay him.

Shen Yu said: "If you delay, you can delay, at least you can spend your life peacefully." ”

Instead of being a big demon and making yourself a ......

Xu Tinglan disagreed: "What about his children and grandchildren? He is the youngest son, and he will branch out in the future, and it is easy for him to go back to his hometown to keep his business, but as the saying goes, 'the gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded', and his sons and grandsons will follow him to learn in the future, and sooner or later he will fall. You have never seen those side branches that are not valued, the first generation got the family property, although it is good, but the descendants will be reduced to the countryside to raise chickens and ducks, farming and labor, or ask for the main branch door, crying and selling miserably and relying on people's snorts. ”

Shen Yu was stunned when he heard this, although "the beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans", but even his great-grandson and great-grandson have to think about it, is it a bit too long-term......

I heard Xu Tinglan say again: "Thinking of this, my heart feels like it has been twisted." ”

Shen Yu sighed silently: You just twist it, you can toss so much every day, my heart is about to turn into a dry towel......

But after all, he didn't like to sleep in the study, so he could only echo: "There is some truth in it." ”

"Only a little bit of truth?" Xu Tinglan looked sideways at him.

Shen Yu hurriedly said: "It's very reasonable!" ”

……

Now facing his attentive son, Xu Tinglan said, "Say it." ”

Huai'an immediately got up and pinched his mother's back and shoulders: "You make a counter for me in the garment store, and then make a backyard out for me to make a warehouse, so that I don't have to look for a shop everywhere. ”
