Steamed seabass, seabass in tomato sauce, seabass cake, salt and pepper seabass, braised seabass with garlic, fish head and tofu soup...
For the whole fish feast, the chef of Zheng Guogong's Mansion perfectly interpreted the various ways of eating seabass. The taste was delicious and the guests and hosts were naturally happy after the meal.
In the hall, there were only Princess Linlang, Xiao Ming and Sister Xi on the large mahogany carved triangular round table. Chang Qingchi took Xiao Han to another hall for dinner.
After dinner, Chang Qingchi took Xiao Han to the study to provide academic guidance. Sister Xi was taken by the girl to play in the yard to eat. Xiao Ming accompanied Princess Linlang to sit under the eaves and talk. Princess Linlang asked the nanny to take care of her. Dabao Erbao was hugged over. Now Dabao Erbao is white, fat and plump. It can be seen that he is a premature baby, and the rumors that he is still alive have long been broken.
Xiao Ming hugged each other, kissed their foreheads, and said with a smile: "Yo yo yo! It's grown again, look at the flesh on the face..."
The one-year-old twin brothers are now able to pronounce some simple words. They also seem to like Xiao Ming as their aunt. They shout at Xiao Ming aunt and uncle incessantly. When Xiao Ming kisses them, they also follow suit. He punched Xiao Ming in the face, leaving a long tear.
"It's all thanks to you, otherwise they wouldn't be here today." Princess Linlang took Dabao and held her in her arms. Even after such a long time, she felt extremely lucky every time she thought about the day she gave birth.
Fortunately, Xiao Ming is here.
"What did sister say? It's been so long. Don't mention it again. It's your fate that they were born in your belly. Look at how good they are." Xiao Ming held Erbao and patted her back skillfully. , gentle movements.
Princess Linlang mentioned it again and again, and she felt embarrassed.
She has saved countless people in her life, Princess Linlang is just one of them.
"You! Okay, I won't tell you." Princess Linlang smiled helplessly. She knew that with Xiao Ming's ability, she could easily obtain the life that others valued most.
Princess Linlang thought for a while and then talked about something else: "Zhang Gui, the youngest son of the Zhang family, the Grand Scholar of Zhongji Palace, was bitten by a dog. I heard it was quite serious."
In the past few days, there has been widespread news in the capital that the servant of the Zhang family was bitten. In fact, the injured one was Zhang Gui, but the Zhang family deliberately concealed it and borrowed the servant as an excuse. Of course, this cover-up was only one-sided. Now the news of Zhang Gui's injury has spread throughout the capital. In the aristocratic circle, no one should look at it as a joke.
Of course, Princess Linlang was not prepared to tell Xiao Ming the more accurate news, because in her eyes, Xiao Ming was still an unmarried young girl.
This dirty thing sounds dirty to the ears.
Zhang Gui's life was ruined. Thinking of the evil deeds he had done, Princess Linlang silently cursed in her heart that it was her own fault.
"I've heard a little bit. I heard that many famous doctors were invited for consultation, but it didn't help." Xiao Ming nodded, and his earlier guess was confirmed.
"This afternoon the Zhang family sent him back to his hometown of Hu Province to recuperate." Princess Linlang said, Zhang Gui is really not suitable to stay in the capital like this. Not only what he has done is irritating, but also because of the injured part. Being ridiculed all the time, the Zhang family has been in the spotlight these days.
Therefore, sending away a useless heir was the best choice for the Zhang family to stop their losses and calm down their anger.
However, these Princess Linlang were not prepared to tell Xiao Ming.
The distant Lake Province is naturally inferior to the prosperous Kyoto. Returning to the ancestral home is equivalent to exile and giving up.
Xiao Ming listened silently and said nothing. The Zhang family called in famous doctors because of this matter and made a fuss. Today, they suddenly sent them away. They actually set off in the afternoon. They left in a hurry and couldn't stay overnight?
What else happened that she didn't know about?
"You saved Liuli that day. Sister, thank you. Liuli was frightened and has been resting for the past few days. She asked me to thank you." The conversation changed and Princess Linlang talked about Liuli again. , a warm smile changed on his face.
Xiao Ming's mind was quick, and she thought about Chen Fang, the imperial guard that day, and had a vague suspicion about Zhang Gui's sudden exile. However, Princess Linlang didn't reveal it, so she had to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"It's a coincidence. I went out of the city that day. I thought it was just an ordinary thing. I didn't expect to pick up a sweet and cute little girl on the way. It was such a small effort and I couldn't thank her enough. I will keep her in mind. No. Do you know if Miss Liuli’s foot injury has healed?”
Princess Linlang saw that Xiao Ming had no intention of asking the truth, and the smile on her face became even bigger: "It's fine now. Thank you for your diagnosis and treatment that day."
"Thank you. I am an occupational disease. When I see patients, I feel like a hungry wolf pounces on meat."
Listening to this metaphor, Princess Linlang burst into laughter: "You! Where did the hungry wolf come from? There is no one who can fool himself."
Princess Linlang is a princess, and she has been in contact with many noble ladies and wealthy families since she was a child. Who is sincere to her and who is trying their best to please her? She has a clear conscience. She keeps a distance from these people, but Du Du was very fond of Xiao Ming, and received various rewards constantly, doting on her like his own daughter. This was not without reason.
Xiao Ming is rational, wise, not flattering, not spoiled, and not self-righteous. These are qualities that the daughters of the aristocratic families in Beijing do not have.
"Mom, where are the hungry wolves?" When Sister Xi heard her mother's smile, she didn't want to play around with the girl anymore and ran up the steps to ask her mother.
"Mom was joking with your aunt. Your aunt said she was a hungry wolf." Princess Linlang handed the treasure to the wet nurse beside her and explained to her daughter with a smile.
"But aunt is a human being, not a hungry wolf." Sister Xi scratched her head in disbelief.
Xiao Ming also handed the second treasure to the wet nurse beside her, and then growled viciously at Sister Xi: "I am the big bad wolf, and I am Little Red Riding Hood. I am here to catch you."
"Oops! Help!!" Sister Xi was so frightened that she ran away because Xiao Ming had told her the story of the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.
The two of them chased each other and had a lot of fun in the yard.
When he went back, Chang Qingchi gave Xiao Han a pair of white jade paperweights as a gift. It wasn't until the escort carriage left that Chang Qingchi held his wife's hand and said with a smile: "Madam, you have good taste. Xiao Han is a good boy." , I will definitely be a dragon or a phoenix among people from now on."
Chang Qingchi originally thought that Xiao Han's knowledge was average, but after taking a test, he realized that his talent and learning were not inferior to those at the top of the previous science rankings. After asking, he found out that Xiao Han was actually the famous Lu Tong. Sir, what a surprise.
It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Xiao Han has been traveling for several years and has gained a lot of knowledge and insights. He is completely different from those students who only study in a small area. Chang Qingchi couldn't help but sigh that the handsome Xiao Han will definitely make a splash in the imperial examination in the coming year. Famous in Kyoto.
He really found a treasure.
Princess Linlang's beautiful eyes were smiling, and she said angrily: "Look what you said, when I became sworn brother to Mingmei, I didn't know she had such an outstanding brother-in-law."
Chang Qingchi rubbed Princess Linlang's tender white fingertips with her fingers, "My wife is far-sighted and has a keen eye for pearls. My husband admires her very much."
