"Daddy...hug..."
Just when Ye Mingsheng was concerned about Bai Yuanyuan's current situation, a girl who looked like a porcelain doll walked towards Ye Mingsheng, rubbing her sleepy eyes. This girl was none other than Bai Yuanyuan's daughter Ye Xingtong who was born to Ye Mingsheng.
Looking at his adorable daughter, a smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face unconsciously. He knelt down and hugged Ye Xingtong and said jokingly:
"It's a lot heavier than last time. How much delicious food did Xingtong eat? Daddy can hardly hold it!"
Regarding Ye Mingsheng's teasing, Xiao Xingtong took it a little seriously, and defended in a coquettish voice:
"Daddy is bad, Xingtong is not heavy!"
Ye Mingsheng laughed when he heard this, and couldn't help pinching his daughter's chubby face. Because Bai Yuanyuan had always wanted a boy, and was even a bit stunned, so when little Xingtong was born, Ye Mingsheng was also a little worried. Bai Yuanyuan, who was able to get her wish, would be unkind to Xiao Xingtong, and even had the idea of handing Xiao Xingtong over to Ye Cui to raise.
But later it turned out that Ye Mingsheng was overthinking it. Although when Xiao Xingtong was born, he was very disappointed that Xiao Xingtong was a girl and had been depressed for a while. However, Bai Yuanyuan slowly adjusted her mentality and became careful and conscientious. She took good care of Xiao Xingtong and fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother, which also made Ye Mingsheng feel relieved.
After playing with Xiao Xingtong for a while, Ye Mingsheng also felt a little hungry, and immediately ordered Bai Yuanyuan to prepare dinner.
In recent years, under Ye Mingsheng's will, the Fengwu Army was either fighting or on the way to war. Most of the finances were used to expand the army and prepare for war, as well as rewards and pensions, so the finances were never well-off... ············
For this reason, Ye Mingsheng also advocated frugality by setting an example, and An Miaoyi also responded to her call and saved the government's expenses several times to support the finances. Under this background, the life of the women in the government was not too comfortable.
But Bai Yuanyuan is an exception. The Bai family, the Cui family and the Murong family are very powerful in terms of natal family power. However, An Miaoyi and Murong Qingwu are a little scrupulous. They are worried that if their lives are too extravagant, they will be disliked by Ye Mingsheng. Xi, so he has always been very cautious. Even if he takes money to improve his life, he does it quietly and tries not to let Ye Mingsheng know about it.
However, Bai Yuanyuan was not as scheming as An Miaoyi and Bai Yuanyuan. She couldn't get used to the clear soup and lack of water in the mansion, so she took money from her parents' family to recruit several cooks who had the same taste as hers, and opened a private restaurant in the mansion. In the small kitchen, the three meals on weekdays are cooked for her by the small kitchen.
Because the money Bai Yuanyuan took from her parents' family was all earned by the Bai family on the right path, and it was considered legal income after paying taxes. It was not Bai Changrong's. Bai Changrong took advantage of his position to accept bribes, so it was hard for Ye Mingsheng to say anything. He didn't want to be so lenient.
After realizing that Ye Mingsheng had acquiesced in the matter of her small kitchen, Bai Yuanyuan became more and more bold, and even brought the meals made in the small kitchen to Ye Mingsheng many times. Under Bai Yuanyuan's ardent expectations, Ye Mingsheng reluctantly How many times have I eaten...
】
Although he didn't like Bai Yuanyuan's extravagant style, Ye Mingsheng had to admit that Bai Yuanyuan was good at eating, and the food in her small kitchen was indeed much better than that in Fuzhong's kitchen.
Although the main purpose of coming to Bai Yuanyuan this time was to check on Bai Yuanyuan's pregnancy, Ye Mingsheng also wanted to have a meal.
After serving Ye Mingsheng for so long, Bai Yuanyuan also knew her husband's taste, and immediately ordered the small kitchen to make some of Ye Mingsheng's favorite side dishes.
Soon boiled fish, beef in soy sauce, braised pork, cold cucumber shreds, cold yuba and fungus, stir-fried rapeseed and shrimp, ginseng and fresh chicken soup, a total of six dishes and one soup were brought to the table.
"Husband, try this boiled fish. This is the sea bass just caught at noon today. It weighs five kilograms. It is the most delicious and crispy when boiled into slices!"
Knowing that Ye Mingsheng likes spicy and spicy food, Bai Yuanyuan introduced it with a smile:
Ye Mingsheng also became interested when he heard that the fish being boiled today was seabass. He likes boiled fish very much in Sichuan cuisine. Basically, every ten days and a half, the chef in the mansion will make him this dish. There are many dishes, but because Yijing is located in the north, they basically cook grass carp and black fish.
Because he likes to eat boiled fish, Ye Mingsheng also knows a lot about this dish. Grass carp and black fish are more suitable for this dish. Grass carp is plump and has few spines. It is very enjoyable to eat in big mouthfuls, but fish is not easy. Tasty, the meat is not that firm...
Although the meat of black fish is firm and tender, it has relatively more spines and requires a high cooking temperature. Sea bass combines the advantages of grass carp and black fish, with less fat bones and more tender and firm meat. However, sea bass is rare in the north. , even Ye Mingsheng's current power has only been achieved two or three times.
At this moment, listening to Bai Yuanyuan's introduction, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but start eating. Feeling the spicy aroma, tenderness and juiciness of the fish in his mouth, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but nodded in appreciation.
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's expression of enjoyment, Bai Yuanyuan was secretly happy. While picking up food for her daughter Ye Xingtong, she also took out her handkerchief and lovingly wiped the sweat on Ye Mingsheng's forehead.
"Husband, the chefs like me are involved in eight major cuisines. If you want to eat something good in the future, come here. They also have a unique skill of roasting sea cucumbers with green onions. Husband, you have to try it. !”
Seeing Ye Mingsheng's love for food, Bai Yuanyuan couldn't help but have an idea to find a new way. She had always relied on her beauty to compete for favor among many female candidates, but she was the oldest among Ye Mingsheng's many female candidates. one of.
So she had always been worried that in a few years, after her beauty faded, she would be defeated in the competition with those little girls and completely fall out of favor, so she worried about gain and loss and wanted a boy so that she could keep Ye Mingsheng's heart by her side and not let her go. I am completely marginalized in Ye Mansion...
But now looking at Ye Mingsheng's satisfied expression, Bai Yuanyuan could feel that Ye Mingsheng was really happy today, and she was also thinking about what would happen in the future.
Ye Mingsheng also noticed Bai Yuanyuan's little thoughts, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He hit everyone with these ammunition. Although Bai Yuanyuan was a little older, she also had a unique charm that won his heart.
After drinking and eating, Ye Mingsheng originally planned to say some personal words to Bai Yuanyuan and then take a rest. However, what he didn't expect was that Xiao Xingtong was offering a treasure and wanted to recite the Analects of Confucius for Ye Mingsheng to check. Her homework.
"Confucius said: "Isn't it also true to learn and practice it from time to time? Have friends come from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't know something but doesn't get upset?
Confucius said: "It is rare for a man to be filial to his younger brother but fond of offending his superiors; it is rare for a man to be filial to his superiors but fond of causing trouble. A gentleman is committed to his roots, and the Tao is born from his foundation. He who is filial to his younger brothers is the foundation of benevolence!"
Confucius said: "When a disciple enters, he should be filial, and when he goes out, he should be a younger brother. He should be sincere and trustworthy, love others universally, and be benevolent. If he has enough energy to do, he should study literature."
·············
·············
Listening to Xiao Xingtong shaking his head, looking serious, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but look at Bai Yuanyuan. If Xiao Xingtong's mother was Murong Qingwu, he would not be surprised today. After all, Murong Qingwu is the world's number one It is normal for a talented woman to inherit some genes from her daughter.
But Bai Yuanyuan has always been a very traditional woman. It is a virtue for a woman to have no talent, and a strong supporter of marrying well is worse than studying well. In Ye Mingsheng's impression, she would not take the initiative to teach Xiao Xingtong to read. When Ye Mingsheng asked Bai Yuanyuan looked helplessly and whispered:
"Xingtong recently played with his brother Jingren. Watching her brother Jingren recite the Analects of Confucius, this girl also learned a lot!"
"This girl is the same. I asked her to learn some female red embroidery, but she was not interested at all. She either reads The Analects of Confucius or Zuo Zhuan every day. She is a little girl, what's the use of learning that?"
Listening to Bai Yuanyuan's words, Ye Mingsheng was a little hesitant, and then smiled and asked Xiao Xingtong, who looked expectant:
"Xingtong, do you like reading?"
Facing his father's question, Xiao Xingtong nodded without thinking.
"How much do you like it?" Ye Mingsheng asked seriously:
This time Xiao Xingtong thought for a moment and said in a babyish voice but also very seriously:
"Dad, I like reading very much. I want to read every day like brother Jingren!"
Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but shake his head as soon as he said this. That brat Jingren didn't like studying. If his mother, An Miaoyi, hadn't looked at him and pressed his head to force him to study, he would have wanted to go out and play every day. ·······················
Feeling the longing in Xiao Xingtong's young eyes, Ye Mingsheng thought for a while and then ordered:
"From now on, when Jingren is studying, Xingtong, go find him and let your aunt watch over you two. Study hard and make progress every day!"
"Thank you, daddy!"
After receiving Ye Mingsheng's promise, an innocent smile immediately appeared on Xiao Xingtong's face, and she even took the initiative to kiss Ye Mingsheng's face.
Compared with Xiao Xingtong's happiness, Bai Yuanyuan has other ideas. She always feels that Xiao Xingtong is a girl and there is no need to learn those things. What's the use of reading so many books? She can't get fame and govern the country like men. Governance!
Just like Murong Qingwu, who is known as the most talented woman in the world and the most talented woman in the world, her ultimate fate is not the same as her own. She married Ye Mingsheng. Her full of knowledge and talents are also He didn't win much favor, but Pei Zhixiu, who also had never read a book, got the most favor from Ye Mingsheng.
Although she had such thoughts, Bai Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment when she thought of going to An Miaoyi to study with Jingren. Jingren was now apprenticed to Gu Sansi. The identity of Ye Mingsheng's successor in the future was still very stable. When the two siblings were young, Spending more time together is very helpful for growing relationships.
So although she doesn't agree with her daughter studying more, Bai Yuanyuan is not prepared to stop Xingtong's opportunity...
··························
··························
While Ye Mingsheng was enjoying the rare family time with his wife and children on the hot bed, in a private house in Yijing East City, a Confucian scholar was sitting opposite a burly man.
Deng Li looked at the Confucian scholar in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze and asked in a deep voice:
"How are my brothers?"
Facing Deng Li's inquiry, the Confucian scholar said calmly:
"They are all in the prison of the Coordination Office. I advise you not to have other thoughts. Even if gods come down to earth, it is impossible to rescue them!"
Speaking of this, the Confucian scholar seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Deng Li in front of him with a half-smile and said:
"It's impossible to save them from trouble, but if you want to silence them, I might be able to help you here!"
As soon as these words came out, Deng Li immediately snorted coldly, stared at the Confucian scholar in front of him with his big copper bell-like eyes and said in a deep voice:
"These brothers of mine are all brothers who have followed me and fought on the battlefield for many years. They are all loyal men. I believe they will never betray me!"
As soon as these words came out, a hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the Confucian scholar, and then he said calmly:
"Brother Deng, I think you still don't know the methods of the Coordination Office. Not to mention your brothers, even the professionally trained people in the Supervision Department can't handle it. If you ask me, you should be prepared early..." ··················”
After listening to the Confucian scholar's words, Deng Li's eyes flickered a little, and his posture was not as firm as before.
After being silent for half a cup of tea, Deng Licai sighed and said with emotion:
"Now that they are in the prison of the Coordination Office, there is no possibility for my brothers to survive. Instead of letting them suffer at the hands of those beasts in the Coordination Office, it would be better to give them a happy life and let them reincarnate as soon as possible and be reincarnated eighteen years later. He is a good man!"
Listening to Deng Li's words, the Confucian scholar said nothing, but his eyes were full of mockery. After comforting himself, Deng Li continued to say to the Confucian scholar:
"I have two brothers, one named Zhu He and the other named Chen Zuoxiang. They are both brothers who have followed me for many years. They know a lot about me. If you are in charge of these beasts, you will definitely torture them so that they can betray me. , don’t let the two of them suffer too much..."
At the end of the story, Deng Li sighed heavily with an unbearable look on his face. If someone didn't know what he was doing, they would really think that they were brothers.
(How was your daily writing of this chapter? If you think my writing is not good, then I won’t write like this in the future!)
