After Xiaocao finished speaking, she lowered her head and glanced at the place where she had just developed into a steamed bun, feeling both grateful and helpless. Thankfully, I am not an airport or a poached egg. What I feel helpless is that it is still a little smaller now, and it will grow into a white steamed bun anyway.
When she raised her head and saw Zhu Junyang following her gaze, Xiaocao hurriedly put her hands on her chest, with a look of anti-wolf expression on her face: "Where are you looking? Perverted child! Disciple!! Do not look at evil, understand?"
Zhu Junyang expressed his innocence, but the little girl was covered in three layers of clothes, wrapped like a bear, what could she see? Being scolded for no reason, I felt a little upset.
He grabbed Xiaocao's arm and gently pulled it into his arms, fixed the back of her head with the other hand, leaned over and pecked hard on the bright red mouth, and then bit it lightly. A slight tooth mark was left on the soft fragrance of the person, and then amidst the exclamation of Wutong and Yingchun, she let go of the little girl who was stunned, and said with a chuckle: "See, what is the master showing you?" He is a true apprentice!"
There was a slight exclamation in the ear, and when Zhu Junyang's smiling eyes moved away from Xiaocao, they instantly condensed into ice-cold arrows, sweeping over the servants of the outer court who were looking this way, and the words that came out of his mouth were so cold It penetrates people's hearts: "Whoever dares to chew his tongue outside today's matter, I will let him never have a tongue to chew from now on!"
The servants were silent for a moment, shaking their heads again and again, expressing that they didn't see anything. Thinking of the private rumors of demons in the capital, the moment the servants of the outer court were caught by King Yang's sight, it was as if they were in a sea of blood, which was suffocating.
In the past, when the king of Yangjun came to the mansion, it was enough to be intimidating when he had no expression on his face, but at that moment just now, he was heartbreaking!
"Okay, you did something bad yourself, and you came to scare our servants, you are really deceiving!" Seeing the servants in the outer courtyard, Yu Xiaocao's face turned ashen and trembled. Some were timid, and fell to the ground with weak feet and couldn't stand up for a long time. They were so angry that they stretched out their little claws and twisted Zhu Junyang's waist vigorously.
Although Zhu Junyang's cold and stern gaze did not affect Wutong and Yingchun, the two maids, they were still terrified by the evil spirit emanating from Yang Junwang. When they saw their young lady's hands wreaking havoc on that evil star's waist, their pounding hearts immediately settled down.
No matter how powerful King Yangjun is, he can't escape the young lady's palm? The lady is amazing! How dare you pinch the black-faced King Yang, worship ing! ! Since then, Yu Xiaocao has gained two little fans who blindly worship her!
Zhu Junyang put the restless little paw on his waist in his palm, pinched Xiaocao's cute upturned nose, and said softly, "Go back, it's cold outside!"
Three days later, Zhu Junyang came to the door in person and brought many good gifts, including venison rewarded by the emperor, fruits from the south, and some gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and the rare treasures from the Treasure Pavilion. Treasure, it is not impolite to use it as a dowry gift.
Yu Hai and his wife saw these gifts and felt a little uneasy, but Xiaocao accepted them calmly. Now that the two of them are going to discuss marriage, why are they so clear about what to do? From now on, his will be hers, so what's the point of bringing some over in advance
Of course, Xiaocao also specially made a feast of Buddha jumping over the wall, and stewed the venison brought by Zhu Junyang with red wine, which had a special flavor.
However, it is not indecent to come and not to reciprocate. People have sent so many precious gifts over, so they have to return the gifts! Yu Hai and his wife felt worried. With the Yu family's wealth, even if they spent everything, they might not be able to buy gifts that Prince Jing's mansion would like. what should I do
Xiaocao has already prepared the gift in return! She used the cocoa beans and coffee beans brought back by the last fleet to make chocolates of various flavors, as well as coffee-flavored toffee, as well as some peculiar snacks, such as tiramisu, matcha red beans, Banana pudding cake (banana is one of the southern fruits bestowed on Zhu Junyang by the emperor), meat floss cake, fruit tart and so on.
Liu Shi looked at it, and felt that this gift was too thin, compared with those precious gifts brought by Yang Jun Wang, it was a little too much to take out, right
But Xiaocao comforted her and said, "Gold, silver, jewellery, silk and satin, when did Prince Jing's Mansion run short of those? Rare things are more valuable. My sweets and snacks are the only ones in Beijing, even our Yuji pastries I can't find it in any shop. I'm not boasting. With my girl's craftsmanship, these sweets and snacks will definitely look good if you take them out to entertain guests. You can exchange favors, give gifts to friends, and reward servants who have meritorious service. , don't worry! Princess Jing will definitely be satisfied with the gift from our family!"
Chocolate and candy, because it is easy to preserve in winter, grass can be made more and there are many types. Like chocolate, she not only made mellow dark chocolate, but also milk flavor, hazelnut flavor, silky taste, wine heart... The candy is mainly coffee flavor, and some with sandwiches. Packed in a tall box, it looks very high-end.
As for dim sum, it is like Beijing eight pieces. There are several different kinds in one box. Dozens of boxes have been prepared, and the elder brother who is going to give the New Year gift is told to tell the steward of the palace, whether it is for eating at home or giving away. , must be resolved within five days.
As the eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Hang was the first to take the lead alone, giving a New Year's gift to a family like Prince Jing's Mansion, and his heart was sweating. Fortunately, the steward of the palace had been mentioned by the master a long time ago, and he received him warmly and politely. Zhu Junyang also paid more attention to this brother-in-law, and went to the outer courtyard to drink tea with him and talk with him.
The annual ceremony of the Yu family was naturally recognized and loved by Princess Jing. Indeed, as the hostess of Prince Jing's mansion, there is a prince who dotes on his wife, and whenever he encounters good things, he will pick them up and give them to her. There is also a son who can make a fuss, even Western and overseas things, she often sees them. The rare treasures in the eyes of others did not arouse her much interest at all.
However, the candies and desserts that Xiaocao sent over were things she had never heard of, seen or tasted before. When she received the gift, she was trying to entertain Mrs. Gaoming who came to visit a few years ago. Concubine Jing, who received the annual gift burden, laughed at that time! The little girl is really a sweetheart, and this snack was delivered in time.
Immediately, she asked people to bring up all kinds of snacks and candies. She put aside those easy-to-preserve chocolate and coffee-flavored candies, and opened a box of snacks first.
When the wives heard that the New Year's gift from Yu's family was just sweets and snacks, they despised it a little in their hearts. Sure enough, he came from the countryside, so he can't be on the stage, so can such a gift be given away? Concubine Jing's temperament is too good, if it were them, she would have thrown the gift back to the giver long ago. Why is this looking down on Prince Jing's mansion? Take such a poor gift as a New Year's gift
However, the wives also knew that King Yang was very protective of the little girl of the Yu family, although there was a bit of sneer in their hearts, they never showed it on their faces.
"That girl Xiaocao must have made some fresh snacks again! You don't know, that little girl has a heart, and every time she has delicious food, she can't forget my concubine's portion. She gave it so solemnly. Come here, the taste must be good. You guys, today is lucky!"
Princess Jing lifted the delicate lid of the food box with her own hands, and a rich and novel aroma immediately hit her nostrils. Even she, the concubine of a king who has tasted countless things, couldn't help but be tempted by the intoxicating sweet fragrance, so that her salivation increased.
Concubine Jing's attitude made the ladies look at each other intriguingly, not daring to have the slightest thought of belittling the dim sum. It seems that Prince Jing's mansion has recognized the little girl from the Yu family. The Yu family has climbed a high branch, and in the future, no one will step on it if they want to!
At the same time, the ladies couldn't help showing surprise when they smelled this incomparably alluring fragrance. What dim sum actually exudes such a rich and mellow fragrance? And this smell is something they have never smelled before in their lives. The aroma alone is enough to whet one's appetite!
Several people invariably focused their sights on the exquisite food box. The round food box was divided into six equal parts, and there were six different exquisite snacks inside, no matter which kind of snacks the few present had never seen before. Even the limited editions in the "Yuji Pastry" shop, these kinds of pastries have never appeared.
Princess Jing picked up a small and exquisite spoon in the food box, and couldn't wait to stretch it out to the tiramisu with its gorgeous appearance and attractive posture. The dessert melts in your mouth, and it contains the strong aroma and slightly bitterness of coffee, the sweetness of eggs and sugar, the sweetness of liqueur, the richness of chocolate, the denseness of cake, the thick aroma of whipped cream, and the dryness of cocoa powder. All kinds of intricate experiences that can be evoked are intertwined and interpreted layer by layer to the extreme! Princess Jing was deeply intoxicated by this ultimate taste experience.
The other ladies, seeing her eyes closed and silent for a long time, were very curious about what this sweet-smelling snack tasted like. However, if the master doesn't speak, they are not easy to speak! Although it didn't show on the surface, it was itchy in my heart like a naughty cat scratching.
Concubine Jing finally recovered from the rich taste of tiramisu. Seeing several wives staring at her, she hurriedly said: "My concubine has never tasted such a complicated and harmonious dessert. Mei Xiang, present a snack to the ladies, paired with a touch of scented tea, it is definitely a treat!"
Soon, several exquisite porcelain plates were presented in front of every lady, and on each plate, which was less than the size of a palm, there was a piece of delicate and fragrant snack. Mrs. Wang, the wife of Honglu Siqing, imitated Princess Jing, picked up a small spoon, gently dug a small piece of fresh and elegant matcha red beans, and stuffed it into her mouth.
