Lotus-flavored cakes are made from lotus petals in Lingquan Space. She liked the elegant scent of lotus very much. Later, she discovered that adding ghee to the petals and making them into snacks can still maintain the original taste and melt in the mouth, leaving a lasting impression on her lips and teeth. fragrant.
The lotus in the Lingquan space has magical effects. It can nourish the body, cleanse the toxins accumulated in the body itself, regulate the internal environment, and make people healthier. Women can also beautify themselves after eating it.
She originally made it for her eldest brother, but she made too much. Now she took out a box and gave it to her neighbors, asking them to take care of her eldest brother's side.
When she can't come, life will be more convenient for her eldest brother.
As for the soothing incense, it was almost the same as the one she gave to Mrs. Shen. It was made of lotus flowers that were about to bloom.
The one used by Mrs. Shen is more suitable for the elderly. It has a higher content of Lingquan lotus and a higher purity of lotus fragrance.
At this time, this box is more suitable for most people.
In order to make the gift more presentable...after all, it is a "stepping stone"!
Wen Jin used a wooden box soaked in Lingquan water. The box was shiny and shiny, with fine lines, like the finest jade. It’s worth a fortune just by looking at it.
Naturally, she didn't put such a good thing in the carriage, but prepared it from the Lingquan space.
When she was ready, she took Wen Yu's hand and knocked on the door next door.
The concierge next door looked familiar.
Wen Jin introduced his intention.
The concierge's eyes were a little strange, but he politely invited her and Wen Yu into the flower hall.
"Please wait a moment, my master will be here soon."
The servants served tea.
Wen Jin didn't taste the tea, but Wen Yu took a sip.
"It's the same as our tea." Wen Yu said.
Wen Jin didn't pay attention, she took a sip and said, "Yeah, good tea."
"I heard that you brought gifts and came to visit your new neighbor?" A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Wen Jin, mother and son, looked back.
I saw Xiao Yuchen walking into the flower hall with a smile but not a smile.
Wen Jin was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Is this the prince's new residence?"
Xiao Yuchen's face was cold, "Why, you are allowed to buy a new house, but I am not allowed to build a separate courtyard?"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty? You are rich and can do whatever you want." Wen Jin took another sip of tea, and now she understood what his son meant by "It's the same as our tea"... Isn't this the prince's tea?
Xiao Yuchen looked at the gift she brought.
The exquisite box, the fragrant snacks in the box, and the exquisitely crafted incense sticks...
He was inexplicably angry, "Are you so enthusiastic about all your neighbors? You come to your door in person and give generous gifts?"
I'm afraid she made this snack herself!
He has never seen such good incense anywhere else!
Is she so polite to "strangers"?
Wen Jin was stunned when asked.
She could see that Xiao Yuchen didn't look well, but she didn't understand where his resentment came from.
"Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yuchen's face darkened visibly.
"My eldest brother has difficulty moving, and the three attendants around him can't cook. I see, the move next door is very difficult. If you can make good friends with the neighbors and please take care of my eldest brother and the others, I will feel more at ease." Wen Jin finished his words.
Xiao Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "You don't live here? Is this a house prepared for your eldest brother?"
Wen Jin was surprised when he heard this, "Can I live here? Is your permission allowed by your Majesty?"
"Dream! I haven't divorced my wife yet!" Xiao Yuchen almost slammed the table.
Wen Jin snorted, "I originally wanted to ask where I could hire a cook or some servants with clean family backgrounds. Can I have a few days of food before my eldest brother hires more servants..."
"It's okay to have a meal, there is a cook here." Xiao Yuchen is not always hard to talk to.
Wen Jin didn't expect that he would agree so happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty. My eldest brother and I will find suitable people as soon as possible."
"It's not in a hurry... Courtesy requires reciprocity. What matters is that there must be reciprocity." Xiao Yuchen looked at her pointedly.
Wen Jin did not understand the "deep meaning".
"Then the prince also comes to the Wutong Courtyard for dinner! Isn't this a matter of coming and going?" Wen Yu said.
"Okay! It's settled!" Xiao Yuchen immediately agreed.
Wen Jin:......
Xiao Yuchen was secretly proud. From now on, when he went to the Wutong Courtyard to eat, she would no longer be disgusted by her, saying that he was just eating and drinking!
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty. I won't interrupt you."
After the eldest brother's meal problem was solved, Wen Jin immediately stood up and left.
Xiao Yuchen achieved his goal and waved his hand with a cold expression.
After Wen Jin and his son left.
Ji Feng came in smelling the fragrance.
"Did the prince tell the princess? You paid a lot of money to buy this house from the He family with both kindness and power?"
Ji Feng glanced at the snack box with greedy eyes and swallowed his saliva, "If the princess knew about it, she would definitely be moved."
Xiao Yuchen hummed, "Who cares whether she is moved or not?"
"I am afraid that she will return to her old ways and do something embarrassing, which will make me lose face, so I bought a house so that I can keep an eye on her!"
Ji Feng glanced at his master, is that so...?
"Sir, I remembered that you don't like sweets, so that box of snacks was thrown away. Can you give it to me?"
Ji Feng originally thought that he didn't need to speak, as long as he leaned forward, the prince would take the initiative to throw it to him.
But after waiting for a long time and swallowing a lot of saliva, the prince hadn't thrown it to him yet.
He couldn't bear it and asked for it.
"This poisonous woman is good at poisoning. There may be something wrong with the snacks. Why are you joining in the fun!" Xiao Yuchen covered the snack box.
"Then I will test the poison for you in my humble position! It's my honor to be humble!" Ji Feng stretched out his hand to get a piece of snack.
Xiao Yuchen was faster and blocked Ji Feng's hand.
Its internal force shook Ji Feng's entire arm to the point of numbness.
"You are my favorite general, how can I let you do such a thing as testing poison?" Xiao Yuchen said seriously, "When you get back to the mansion, just ask the mansion doctor to do a test."
Although Ji Feng was greedy, the prince had already spoken so much that it would be inappropriate for him to talk any more.
Ji Feng has just exited the flower hall.
Xiao Yuchen couldn't wait to pinch a piece of lotus cake and put it in his mouth.
The crispy snack melts in your mouth, and the faint fragrance of lotus fills your lips and teeth. The snacks are slightly sweet, but not greasy at all.
Xiao Yuchen narrowed his eyes comfortably and felt as if he was in a lotus pond. The breeze was blowing on his face and the lotus flowers were swaying. It was so beautiful... Even the hot summer feeling at the moment dissipated in the elegant aroma of this snack.
"Absolutely..." Xiao Yuchen sighed secretly.
Xiao Yuchen, who doesn't like sweets, ate half the box of snacks in one go.
He suddenly remembered that he didn’t know how long it would take to taste such an amazing snack next time...
Although he was still unfinished, he carefully closed the box and put the treasure away.
As for the box of incense, you can tell without trying it that its quality is better than the incense used in the palace.
Xiao Yuchen, who was used to seeing good things, regarded this incense stick as a treasure. He stroked the beautiful lines of the box thoughtfully.
…
When Wen Jin returned to his courtyard, he didn't say that next door was Prince Huai's villa.
She only said that the neighbor would take care of this place, "We will have three meals a day delivered, and we will find a suitable cook as soon as possible."
"Aunt, look at this!" Wen Yu suddenly handed Wen Jin a piece of fine Hui ink.
"Oh, this is what Daddy gave me before. Does Yu'er also like ink? Hui ink is the best among inks..."
Before Wen Shengjun finished speaking, Wen Jin's expression changed.
He also understood immediately - Yu'er didn't like Mo, she was afraid there was something wrong with Mo!
