Mei Xiang was amazed in her heart, Miss Yu was so smooth-tongued, and the young master just liked her. If it was someone else, he would have been photographed dead long ago, right
"Let's go, let's make peach blossom cake!! Sister Meixiang, sit in the front yard for a while. When the peach blossom cake is out of the pot, you can bring some back to the princess to taste. Peach blossom has the effect of beautifying the skin and moisturizing the skin. It is most suitable for women Eat it." After Yu Xiaocao said this, Mei Xiang also stayed behind in a heartbeat, helping her in the kitchen.
Yu Xiaocao kept only the petals of the picked peach blossoms, and soaked the pure petals in light salt water for ten minutes. Hearing that Mei Xiang said that Princess Jing had top-quality West Lake lotus root powder from the palace, she asked her to go back and ask for some.
Without a cooking machine, Yu Xiaocao had no choice but to take out a medicine pestle for pounding medicine, and asked Yang Junwang to help pound the petals into a puree, mix it with the goat milk that had been boiled with almonds, put it in a casserole, mix it with lotus root powder, add cotton Stir the sugar well and cook on low heat until thickened. Stir constantly while cooking until thick and smooth. Pour the boiled solution into a container and let it cool to solidify.
Once solidified, cut into small cubes and paste flower petals on top. The creamy white peach blossom cake is dotted with pink peach petals, making people appetizing just looking at it.
Yu Xiaocao cooked one of the desserts in the previous life "A Thousand Bone Flowers" - peach blossom soup, glutinous rice and goat's milk boiled into porridge, sprinkled with peach petals. If you like it sweet, you can add some white sugar. The two peach blossom desserts captured the hearts of all women, and even Mrs. Liu couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.
In the end, Zhu Junyang followed Mei Xiang back to the Xishan Bieyuan. Mei Xiang brought back a box full of peach blossom cakes, and the maids around Princess Jing exclaimed: "Miss Yu's cake making skills are even more exquisite than the master chefs in Daoxiang Village in Beijing. It's mouthwatering!"
Princess Jing drank the peach blossom soup and ate the sweet and soft peach blossom cake, she couldn't help but sighed, "Xiaocao, girl, I don't know who will be cheaper in the future? Whoever marries her is a great blessing in her previous life!"
"Huh! Just her? There is nothing she can do with the three obediences and four virtues. Whoever marries her will be pissed off by her mouth. It's strange if she can marry!!" Zhu Junyang felt depressed when he heard the words, and the sweet peach blossom cake also changed. After smelling it, he said a cold and poisonous tongue.
Concubine Jing felt the change in her son's mood, rolled her eyes, and understood in her heart—her silly son has a heart for that little girl, but he hasn't realized it yet, this dull guy.
Princess Jing deliberately contradicted him, saying: "How could Xiaocao not get married? The three obediences and four virtues for judging women have long been outdated. Didn't the Emperor advocate equality between men and women? This Yu Xiaocao is pink and tender, with eyes Big skin is fair, and it will definitely not be the same when he grows up."
After a pause, she glanced at her youngest son, and continued: "The little girl has a pure temperament, is cute and cute, and she has the ability to advance and retreat. And she has superb cooking skills, even the emperor is full of praise! She can also do business , Braised vegetable shops have opened one after another, and they have all opened to the capital! When I came back, I wanted to buy two salted ducks to take with me, but I couldn’t get in the line. Sigh... I don’t know if we will prepare some ducks tomorrow. , let the little grass girl come over and help make some saltwater ducks, will she agree?"
"Master, dare she not agree?" Zhu Junyang hummed such a sentence from his nose, with complicated emotions in his heart, and he didn't know what he was struggling with.
Concubine Jing blinked the eyes that were very similar to her youngest son's, and then said: "My little girl is concerned about your status, and you are similar, don't keep bullying him with the majesty of the county king! Where did you just say? By the way, Xiaocao is not only good at cooking, but also good at serving flowers and plants. My famous flowers and plants that are about to die, are brought back to life in her hands, and they are more energetic than when I first bought them!"
"Oh! That's right!! The little girl is also good at medicine. I didn't expect that she saved the empress's precious pimple, and she showed her face in front of the emperor and the empress. My body, nursed by her, is no different from ordinary people. In the past, I felt dizzy after walking two steps, but now I don’t feel out of breath after walking several miles of mountain roads. Your father thought it was the Fengshui of Xishan that nourishes people!"
Speaking of getting stronger and stronger, Princess Jing beamed with joy. Her man said, when there is a vacation, he will take her on a trip to the world of two people!
"And..." Princess Jing spoke more and more vigorously. But was interrupted by his youngest son.
"Mother and concubine, then Yu Xiaocao is not the child of you and the king living abroad, is it? You spare no effort to praise her, it feels a bit like an old king selling melons!" Zhu Junyang felt even more depressed. He also wondered: I have already passed the age of competing for favor, why is it that the more the mother concubine praises that girl, the more he feels uncomfortable
Princess Jing gave her son a hard look, if Xiaocao was her own, you would be a bachelor for the rest of your life! ! What an incomprehensible stinking stone! ! Still not getting the hang of it? Give you some more awesome! !
"I really want to have such a caring and all-round girl! It's a pity that the little girl has already been taken by the wife of the house town. I heard that Mrs. Fang plans to wait another two years before taking the little girl to Beijing. Take her with you, and try to find a good husband for her. Xiaocao is so cute and cute, and she has a lot of skills. There must be many modest and talented people who can see her beauty. Maybe they will fight for their heads! I don't know if the threshold of the General's Mansion will be stepped down?"
"The little girl is only eleven or twelve years old. It's too early for Mrs. Fang to help her so early, isn't it? Besides, she is a little peasant girl, what good can she find in Beijing?" Zhu Junyang felt a flame in his heart. , arching upwards, becoming more and more irritable, wanting to throw things, want to beat someone! !
Concubine Jing smiled, and said: "She is the adopted daughter recognized by the General's Mansion, and she has a bit of face in front of the Emperor and Empress, and the Supreme Emperor is full of praise for her... The three giants in the palace all endorsed for her, you say she Can you find a good one? Last year, she helped the little prince cure his illness, and someone has already come to me to inquire about it!"
"Who? Who is so mad?? Xiaocao was only in his teens last year, and he was still a child!! That guy won't be a pedophile, right?" Zhu Junyang almost jumped up, his eyes burst out with anger, as if to This nasty guy was pulled out and beaten up.
Princess Jing glared at him, and said: "What are you talking about! The one who inquired about Xiaocao is the daughter-in-law of the Shoufu family. She has a young son who is about the same age as Xiaocao. He can join the cabinet just like his grandfather!!"
Zhu Junyang seldom interacted with the sons of officials in Beijing, so he frowned and thought about it for a while before he vaguely remembered the image of this excellent little grandson of Shoufu's family. He was so weak and his face was as white as a ghost. His temperament is also dull, and he looks like an old pedant. With Xiaocao's unrestrained temperament, it's no wonder if he doesn't suffocate to death when he's with him!
"Mother Concubine, Xiaocao is still young, so don't spit out and help the matchmaker. You know people, face, and heart, and if Xiaocao has a bad life in the future, and you like her so much, you will definitely feel sorry for her! Wait a few more It's not too late to talk about it!" Zhu Junyang strongly objected to the mother concubine's practice of protecting Xiaocao's matchmaker.
"It's not too young! This little girl, after ten years old, she will see the wind and grow up, and she will look the same every year! Before she knows it, she will grow into a slim girl!! I think the little grandson of Shoufu's family is very good, and he is gentle. , treats people kindly, and does not have that sense of superiority. It is a rare good match for a little girl... "
"What a good match!! That weak chicken, I can push him down with one finger, and blow people away when the wind is strong. Xiaocao can cause trouble like this, so I should find a stronger one with better skills to follow Help her smooth out the trouble she caused!" Zhu Junyang interrupted the concubine mother's words, frowning so much that it could kill a fly.
Concubine Jing laughed secretly, but she pretended to agree and nodded, saying: "What you said makes sense! What kind of man is a man who can't protect women?"
Before Zhu Junyang could heave a sigh of relief, she continued: "I have someone in mind, Yang'er, what do you think of the youngest son of the family of the admiral of the Nine Gates? Four or five years older than Xiaocao, tall and handsome, with a Even the Supreme Emperor appreciates martial arts! I heard that that kid is going to take part in next year's martial arts exam, and he wants to come back with a martial arts champion!!"
"He? My son's defeated general!! I want to win next year's martial arts champion, first ask me if I agree!!" Zhu Junyang was thinking about whether to apply for the martial arts exam next year to kill that kid's prestige. In the past few years, when the master is not in Beijing, all cats and dogs can become kings! ! Have you forgotten how miserable it was when you were beaten up by your father and cried for your mother
"Besides, I heard that when the boy from the admiral's family of the Nine Gates was fifteen years old, he took several housemates around him, and also took one in his concubine's room. That girl Xiaocao is like a simple little white rabbit. If If you enter such a family, won’t you be torn apart by those tigresses and wolves?" In short, just one word: him! No! same! meaning! !
Zhu Junyang didn't want to hear how good his mother and concubine Luo Liejing's children were, so he stood up and told him solemnly: "Mother concubine, in short, don't join in the fun! If someone asks you to be a matchmaker, just pretend to be sick." Pay attention!! lest the little girl live unsatisfactorily and resent you!!"
After finishing speaking, before Princess Jing could say anything else, she left quickly. Zhu Junyang, who came to his own courtyard, tortured the guards around him on the training ground all afternoon, and drilled those guys to the point of crying, but he still didn't let his depressed mood clear up.
Thinking of that bright and lovely little girl under the scorching peach blossoms, her smile brighter than the sun, her voice clearer than the mountain spring... How could he be willing to let those ordinary people tarnish her beauty
If she's married, she can't meet outside men casually. When he was swallowed by the dark demon, there was no holy golden light to guide him out of the boundless darkness; when he was imprisoned by the cold, there was no warm smile to warm his heart...
