Before dinner, Minister Yuan returned to the mansion humming a little tune, and saw his little granddaughter lying on his wife's lap and being beaten.

The good old man felt very distressed and rushed forward to stop them.

"lady!!!"

"If you want to talk, just talk nicely. Why hit the child???"

"Yuan Bao'er is still young, why do you have to do this?"

Yuan Yuan found an ally and started to struggle: "Da Zhuang Zhuang, Sister Xiao Lian is going to beat me to death!!!"

Yuan Shangshu: "..."

Finally I know why this little bastard got beaten.

Should!

But he still snatched the kid from Old Madam Ye and put him on the ground.

Yuan Yuan immediately hugged her good grandfather's legs and looked at Old Madam Ye with a pouty mouth.

Minister Yuan met his wife's gloomy face and said flatteringly, "Madam, getting angry is bad for your health. Look, it's time for dinner, and the children are hungry. Let's go eat!"

Old Madam Ye said sinisterly, "It's all your fault. You keep talking nonsense to the child."

"Now the young master of the neighboring palace calls me Sister Xiaolian when he sees me. I am so embarrassed!"

Minister Yuan scratched his nose, thinking, how good could he be? There was no official in Chang'an who didn't know his name was Yuan Dazhuang!

Yuan Yuan was not convinced: "The Queen's Aunt said that a nickname is a blessing from the elders, and anyone can call it that!"

Only then did the Yuan couple remember that there was another legitimate prince in the palace named "Goudan".

What is all this!

Mrs. Ye suddenly had an idea and said to her granddaughter, "Yuanbao'er, Dazhuang is your grandfather's nickname. It is your great-grandmother's blessing to your grandfather."

"But Xiaolian is not grandma's nickname!"

It’s her maiden name!!!

Yuan Yuan opened her eyes wide: "What's grandma's nickname?"

Madam Ye raised her lips slightly and said, "Grandma's nickname is Grandma."

The kid tilted his head and thought about it, then suddenly said with a vigilant look: "Grandma, you are lying, Grandpa doesn't even call you Grandma!!!"

She made a face at Old Madam Ye and ran away.

Minister Yuan was amused and was about to tell his wife how adorable his little granddaughter was.

When he turned around, he saw Old Madam Ye glaring at him with a dark face.

"Okay, Yuan Dazhuang, I will run this household for you and give birth to children for you. When your parents-in-law were seriously ill, you went to school at the county academy, and I took care of the old and the young..."

"This is how you repay me? Huh?"

Yuan Shangshu said aggrievedly: "But at that time, Yuan Baoer said that if I didn't tell her your nickname, she would not be with me..."

"Madam, you and I are now at an age where we can enjoy the happiness of family life. Why don't we be more open-minded?"

"Look at the nobles in the palace. Your Majesty is chased by Yuan Baoer and called 'Shimin' every day. And the Emperor Emeritus, my granddaughter calls him 'Brother Shude'. Tell me if it's infuriating, but they don't care..."

Old Madam Ye was startled and slapped him twice: "How dare you address the saint by his name?!"

Minister Yuan quickly dodged and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, Madam. Let's go to the dining hall to have dinner together."

The dinner was very rich. Yuan Qing specially prepared pizza, fried chicken and French fries which the children liked.

Yuan Yuan's hands were covered in oil from eating.

Good sister took advantage of her good mood, leaned over and said with a smile:

"Yuan Baoer, weren't you a doctor of mathematics at the Imperial College before?"

Yuan Yuan nodded: "Yeah, yeah, I can become a doctor!"

Later, I got a promotion and stopped going.

Seeing the regret on her round face, Yuan Qing immediately asked, "Do you want to teach mathematics at the Women's College?"

"Your eldest aunt and second aunt are both studying at the Women's Academy now. Just imagine how impressive it would be if you went there to teach them!"

The kid's eyes lit up.

But he soon showed a look of vigilance again: "No, no, no!!!"

No one knows it better than her. Teachers have to get up very early to give lectures.

Yuan Yuan sighed.

She was a student from a girls' college and her math grades were terrible.

They all thought that mathematics was useless and believed that no woman could learn mathematics well.

However, few people know that mathematics can be used in any of the following ways: managing a shop, joining the army, or becoming an official in the court.

Otherwise, why would the Imperial College have separated out the School of Mathematics?

It’s because we attach importance to it!

If the little girl could demonstrate her mathematical ability, it would definitely inspire the female students to study mathematics well.

Yuan Qing asked the kid secretly, "Just go for one day, I'll agree to whatever you want."

Yuan Yuan looked at her elder sister with scrutiny, her eyes rolling.

"Then I want the thirteen strings of cash that my sister hid in the backyard!"

Yuan Qing: "..."

When was she exposed?

The women of the Yuan family watched the entire negotiation and all laughed.

Yuan Shangshu and his two sons felt unhappy.

They are rich men, but the private money they have saved is not even as much as that of a young lady!

***

The next day, Yuan Yuan was woken up early again.

She pouted her lips unhappily and was about to humph to express her dissatisfaction.

The good sister put the cash box in front of her.

"Yuan Baoer, all of my sister's property is now entrusted to you."

Both of Yuan Yuan's eyes turned into copper coins.

"Wow, then I can buy lots of Hu pancakes!"

Yuan Qing smiled and said, "Your sister Changle has already gone to the East Market to queue up to buy meat patties for you. You can eat a bowl of wontons in the mansion later. When you meet Changle, you will have delicious mutton patties to eat."

The little kid's saliva is about to flow down.

“Go, go, go, go!!!”

After eating the wontons, Yuan Yuan took her sister’s hand and skipped out of the house.

Yuan Qing carried a bamboo bucket of milk tea and a paper bag of pastries on his back, and the little boy's own pocket was filled with nougat and Qiuqiu candy.

The two girls got into the carriage together.

Princess Changle did go to queue up in person. She wasn't sure how much the child would eat, but she thought it would always be a good idea to buy more.

So she and her attendants went through many trials and tribulations and not only bought the three meat patties that were left when the queue was over, but also bought back the ones that the person before her had bought at a high price, making a total of ten.

I feel very proud.

This century-old meat pie is notoriously hard to buy!!!

The waiter placed the meat patties on the charcoal fire to keep them warm, waiting for the Yuan sisters to come over.

After a while, I heard the sound of the coachman stopping his horse behind me.

The little boy ran out of the carriage without waiting for it to stop, anxiously shouting "Sister Changle, Sister Changle".

Fortunately, Yuan Qing was quick to pull her up, otherwise she would have fallen.

Princess Changle squatted on the shaft of the cart and waved to the child: "Come and eat the meat pie."

Yuan Yuan had already smelled the fragrance and was very happy.

While anxiously urging his elder sister to carry him to the carriage, he kept chanting: "Meat pie, meat pie, meat pie!!!"

When it was finally put into his mouth, the little kid squinted his eyes happily, with an expression as if he was in heaven.

It made Changle and the maid laugh.

The pancake was almost bigger than the child's face and was filled with meat, but she ate the whole thing in one gulp.

Princess Changle felt hungry as she watched, so she shared one with Yuan Qing.

After the three young ladies had eaten their fill, Yuan began to arrange the remaining cakes.

"Give one to Grand Emperor Grandpa, one to Uncle Li Yu, one to Uncle Erlang, and one to Grandpa Zhang..."

"One for each of my second brother, and one for Grandma Li Fengyu..."

There are still many people on the list, but there are no more spots for cakes!!!

The kid looked disappointed.

Princess Changle coughed lightly and assured her:

"My sister didn't reveal her identity just now, so she only bought these. Later, my sister will ask the eunuch to take the right cards and ask the store to make an extra pot. If you want to give it to someone, just tell them, and they will all get to eat it."

Yuan Yuan smiled with narrowed eyes: "Then I also have to give to Uncle General Qian who guards the palace gate, and Uncle Hou Aweng, Yu Xueshi, Fang Aweng, Du Aweng, and Uncle Chen the eunuch in the palace of the third brother of the King of Shu..."

The little mouth talked about many people.

Princess Changle was shocked.

In the mind of this little boy, there is probably no distinction between people of high and low status.

She made meat patties for Aye and Aong, and also prepared one for the eunuch.

Several of the brothers had no share, but the servants and maids in the prince's palace could get a number.

Even General Qian, who guarded the palace gate, and Li Fengyu from the Shangshi Bureau were taken into consideration.

No wonder everyone in the palace dotes on her.

Princess Changle turned around and asked her attendant, "Have you written it all down?"

The two attendants looked at each other and nodded: "Princess, I have noted it down."

Soon, the carriage stopped and the attendant left with several guards.

Yuan Yuan patted her belly, took a sip of milk tea, and said happily: "It would be great if Yuan Yuan had two bellies, so that she could eat two meat patties!"

Everyone in the carriage laughed.
