The diversion of the Grand Canal by the fifth prince directly harmed the interests of Weiqing County and had little to do with him.

Seeing this, the Seventh Prince nodded quite understandingly: "I personally don't recommend you to get involved, for now, in addition to the original docks on the canals, the rest of the new docks to be built have been snatched away by high-ranking officials and nobles, not to mention big businessmen, even those with slightly lower official positions, then they are not qualified to get involved." ”

When Li Qiao heard this, she could only smile bitterly again.

I see.

Even the Seventh Prince didn't suggest it, so he dispelled this idea for the time being.

If it's just because it's convenient for the Li family to enter Beijing, it's not worth it to go directly to the five princes.

For now, the Five Princes have not directly provoked him, if he takes the initiative to run to grab meat from the mouths of the Five Princes, it will not only be nameless, but also beyond his strength.

Coming out of the Seven Princes' Mansion and getting on the ox cart home, Li Qian explained to Li Dashan that it was not that he, the head of the Li family, did not work hard, but that the other party was too powerful.

After listening to this, Li Dashan understood very much, the other party was the fifth prince, and he was scared to death: "Uncle, it's right that you don't get involved, anyway, there is a caravan of the Han family, as long as my father and mother want to come, they can come every year." ”

It's not that I can't come, it's just that I spend a lot of time on the road.

In order to dispel Li Qiao's thoughts, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, we don't want to do this, let's have a good New Year, it's the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month today, according to custom, it's time to grind tofu." ”

Li Qiao smiled when she heard this: "Cheng." At this time, Ershan should lead Li Dao to make a few tofu, and we can eat hot tofu when we go home. ”

"Yes!" Li Dashan happily responded: "Hot tofu with chili oil prepared by Uncle Zhu, and sprinkled with a little chopped green onion, the taste is beautiful." ”

When Tao Zhu heard this, he also smiled: "I also want to eat what you said, go home quickly." ”

"Okay." Li Dashan immediately threw off the whip in his hand.

Li Qiao grabbed Tao Zhu's hand, turned his head and said to him: "Let's make more braised tofu this year, with braised chicken feet, it is very delicious." ”

The chicken feet in Tao Zhu are delicious, spicy enough, and the taste is enough that he can eat more than 20 in one go.

The fried dried tofu is soaked in the marinade, and the spicy soup is soaked up, and the taste is also wonderful, whether you eat noodles or dumplings, it is extremely delicious with this dried tofu.

"Good. After you go back, you watch the kids, and I'll go to the kitchen to do it. ”

Tao Zhu smiled and nodded.

What is the Grand Canal, I don't want to think about it, and the New Year is the most important thing to be friendly with Li Qiao's children.

When I got home, the two little cubs were being held in the arms of Li Xia and Zhao Shen to watch Li Xiaorui play with a scooter, and the two fat faces were originally smiling, but when they saw their father and father, they were wronged together.

As soon as the small mouth was deflated, tears appeared in the big eyes.

Li Xia Deng smiled: "This is missing you." But before that, I was obedient and didn't cry at all. ”

"I was obviously laughing just now, but when I saw me and Brother Zhu'er, I was wronged, a little clever ghost."

Li Qiao was amused by the speed at which the two little cubs changed their faces, he took Li Changfeng's little fat friend from Zhao Shen's arms, and couldn't help pinching Li Changfeng's little fat friend's fat face: "Am I right?" ”

Where could Li Changfeng understand his complicated words, and he still shouted his father with an aggrieved face.

The little arm was still stretched out to hug Li Qiao's neck.

Li Qiao's heart softened, kissed his fat face a few times, and then raised it high and flew high, and after a while, it made him laugh.

Next to him, Tao Zhu also coaxed Li Yunfan's little fat friend, Tao Zhu handed Li Yunfan's little fat friend to Li Xia again, and then went to the kitchen.

Start with a bowl of hot tofu, and then you can make dried tofu and braised chicken feet.

It's good to celebrate the New Year, ordinary home-cooked food, and you can also eat a taste that you don't have on weekdays.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, stew big meat.

On this day, Li Qiao's house was also lively, making roasted sausages, stewed meat, and braised pork, and every pot was used.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu didn't do it themselves, and the two of them took care of the two cubs.

On this day, there is no need to cook seriously at all, taste everything after it is ready, and taste it and be full.

It's just a little greasy, I ate meat all day, and in the evening, Li Qiao went to the house where the strawberries were planted to pick some strawberries, washed and cleaned the warm room, and prepared to take strawberries to relieve the greasy.

Tao Zhu was sitting on the kang and was looking through the picture book tailored by Li Qiao for Li Xiaorui, and the little cub was sleeping in the kang Zhengxiang.

Seeing him come in with a bowl of strawberries, Tao Zhu sighed: "I should let Li Yu and them make some cream in advance." ”

Although this strawberry is more successful than last year, it is small and not sweet enough, so it is best eaten with cream.

"No, you've already eaten the cream cake today."

Li Qiao stood by the kang and pinched a strawberry and fed it to him: "If you want to eat it, you can make it tomorrow." ”

Tao Zhu opened his mouth, put the strawberry in his mouth, looked up at Li Qiao's serious face, and couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Li Qiao from this angle, Li Qiao is still very good-looking.

He raised his hand and pulled Li Qiao's sleeve: "Then prepare more cream tomorrow, we haven't played with cream for a few days." ”

Although the cream is not easy to wash when washed on the body, it is really fun.

Li Qiao: "...... Yes. ”

He looked at Tao Zhu's sparkling eyes, pinched a strawberry and fed it to Tao Zhu, and the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.

Brother Zhu was brought by him, and when he said this kind of thing, he was frank and unashamed.

Very good.

He likes such an enthusiastic bamboo brother.

However, since he has a cub, he and Brother Zhu can't be as happy as before.

Although the two little cubs are well-behaved, they also have the need to eat goat's milk and pee in the middle of the night, in order to prevent lack of sleep from affecting the next day's work, he and Zhu Ge'er can only be happy once in three days.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but say, "When will the two little cubs be able to sleep independently?" It affects the love between the two of us too much. ”

“…… Don't think about it, at least you have to endure it for another seven or eight years. ”

Tao Zhu thought about it carefully, and couldn't laugh a little.

He turned around to look at the sleeping cubs, and couldn't help pinching their fat faces, he and Li Qiao had paid too much for the two of them!

Soon it was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was the day of making dumplings again.

Tao Zhu is not pregnant this year, and the work of this dumpling must be done in person, Tao Zhu makes dumplings, and Li Qiao and Li Xia sit aside to take care of the two little cubs.

This year's dumplings, there are still many types of fillings, Li Qiao planted some off-season vegetables in the gap between planting strawberries, although the growth is not good, but it is a rare delicacy in this winter.

Wrapping these vegetables into dumplings tastes very good.

Several people were making dumplings lively, and suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves at the door.

Immediately after, Shen Hua's voice rang out.

"Brother buckwheat, brother buckwheat! Brother buckwheat! ”

The kitchen was in the front yard, and Shen Hua's voice was so sad and panicked, not to mention Li Qiao, who was good at hearing, everyone present heard it.

"What's going on?"

Tao Zhu immediately stood up and walked out quickly.

Li Qiao stuffed Li Changfeng's little fat friend in his arms to Zheng Qianqian, whose hands were stained with flour, and also stood up and walked out of the kitchen.

A few steps to the gate of the courtyard, Shen Hua just stumbled open the courtyard door and came in, and when he saw Tao Zhu and Li Qiao with a concerned face, his nose was sore, and he immediately cried.

"Brother Buckwheat! Please go to the Seventh Prince, just now two officials came to the Ministry of Households, saying that the cousin was greedy for the money of the Mo court and made fake accounts, and they took the cousin away! ”

"What?"

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu exclaimed in unison.

Li Qiao walked directly to the door: "I'll go find the Seventh Prince." ”

"Brother Zhu'er, you take a good look at Brother Hua'er."

"No, I'm going too, Brother Buckwheat, you take me."

Shen Hua wiped his tears while keeping up with Li Qiao's footsteps: "You take my family's carriage, the carriage is fast." ”

Li Qiao turned his head to look at him and nodded: "Okay, you can go together." ”

"You two go, don't take care of the house." Tao Zhu said busily when he saw this.

"Okay, you guys continue to make dumplings."

Li Qiao hurriedly explained, and then got into the carriage with Shen.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Qiao asked for details.

He didn't believe that Xu Ying would be greedy for the silver in the ink rice silver place.

Just the little silver at the silver place, can it get into Xu Ying's eyes?

Joke!

This matter must be framed.

It just so happened that the five princes served in the household department......

Chapter 139: Unforgettable Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner Eaten in the prison

Li Qiao and Shen Hua rode the carriage to the Seven Princes' Mansion, and as soon as the two jumped out of the carriage, they saw the gate of the Seven Princes' Mansion open, and Meng Yue walked out of it.

"Brother Li? Draw a brother? ”

"Brother Meng?"

"Brother Meng?"

When the three of them met, they were very surprised.

Meng Yue coughed lightly: "Isn't this a New Year's Day, I'll give a New Year's gift to the Seventh Prince." ”

Shen Hua's eyes widened, and he subconsciously said, "It's too late for you to send it, right?" It's Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Give yourself a New Year's gift on the peak, how can you give it on the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
