The group’s favorite Xiao Long Bao: seven brothers and uncles love it to the extreme

Because it tastes bitter and unpleasant, this thing is only used by the Chang family, but under the old lady's ingenuity, it became a unique food.

Because it is so rare, only a small part is included in the Lantern Festival every year. Whether you can eat it or not depends on your luck.

Long Baoer was very lucky. There was one in the bowl, and the one Chang Chun replenished for her was actually the same.

When the sweet and thick brown filling came out, Long Baoer was shocked by his sister.

Yingying was so envious that she ate all the Yuanxiao in her bowl, leaving none.

"Sister, do you want to eat it?" Long Baoer asked after eating the second cocoa fruit filling.

Looking at the half-bitten yuanxiao, Cao Yingying swallowed.

But she had already eaten seven and there was really no room.

"You don't want to eat? Then I'll eat it!" Long Baoer put the remaining half into his mouth in one bite.

Cao Yingying: The fist is strong!

Today, although there are some unpleasant moments, it is generally moving in a good direction.

With a smile on her lips, Cao held Yingying in one hand and walked side by side towards Jinlan with Chang Maoming.

"Husband, have you finished talking to your eldest brother and brother-in-law?"

Mentioning this, the smile on Chang Maoming's face deepened, "Yeah."

Chang Maoming seemed to be in a good mood, and Cao's mood also improved a lot.

"By the way, I went back to check on my brother a few days ago. He was in very bad condition..."

Chang Maoming was noncommittal.

Although his brother-in-law was taught by his father-in-law, his personality was different.

Although my old father-in-law has never been rich or powerful in his life, he is very open-minded. He must do his best and never form cliques for personal gains. Otherwise, his parents will not be able to recognize the marriage and agree to propose marriage.

Cao was okay, not clever at best, but she still listened to him.

But this brother-in-law Cao Wei, in addition to being just as clumsy as Cao, also has a heart as high as the sky and a hand as clumsy as his feet.

In terms of learning, he is pretty good. After all, he comes from a scholarly family, and his old father-in-law has a tight control.

However, the imperial examination is held every three years. If there is any big event in the court, Enke will be added. This means that not everyone can be a Jinshi official.

Especially Cao Wei didn't want to go out to take charge of people's livelihood and be a parent official. At that time, it was Cao who asked Chang Maoming to seek help from his eldest brother Chang Maozhi.

The Chang family naturally has a way. You don’t even need to go through others, as long as you ask directly before the Holy One, you will be inseparable.

But to be fair, Cao Wei couldn't afford the official positions he wanted. Not only will these not allow him to rise to prominence, but according to his thinking, they may even land him in jail.

Therefore, in the past few years, the Chang brothers have not cared about Cao Wei.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Cao would speak again today.

"Well, let me think about it." Chang Maoming paused and said.

The atmosphere was quite good today, and there was no reason to cause disharmony between the couple because of Cao Wei's affairs.

Cao was so naive that she immediately felt happy.

After watching Cao Yingying wash up and go to sleep, Mrs. Cao returned to their own yard.

Chang Maoming was reading under the lamp. Mrs. Cao went over to pick up a candle and caught a glimpse of the envelope on the table. She suddenly remembered the letter sent by her brother in the evening.

"Husband, there were so many things at night, I forgot for a moment. My brother sent someone a letter." Ms. Cao pulled the letter out from under the book.

"A letter from Cao Wei?" Chang Maoming paused while turning over the book, "It's not too far away, why do you still need to write a letter?"

Zhenyuan Bo Chang's family and the General's Mansion are both located in the east city of the inner city.

Dongcheng is full of relatives of the emperor, or hereditary lords.

Although General Xue is not among these, his Xue family's big house was given by the royal family. It was the mansion of a marquis, but it was later ransacked. After the mansion was repaired, it was directly given to General Xue.

It is said that the Marquis who executed the whole family was the one who deliberately delayed the supply of food and wanted to harm the old man of the Chang family, his old father-in-law.

After Xue Qingsong moved in, he was in a good mood every day.

In the Xicheng District of the capital, officials from the DPRK and Central Government lived.

But officials are also divided into three, six or nine levels. For example, Song Qian'er's father lived there.

But the Cao family, whether it was Mr. Cao back then or Cao Wei now, was not qualified.

A sixth-grade official is nothing in the capital and can only live in Nancheng.

But after all, they are all within the imperial city. It's just a matter of distance. It's not too far for someone to send a message or to come over in person. There is no need to send a message.

With this skeptical attitude, Chang Maoming opened the letter. First, he glanced through it quickly, and finally a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

Although Mr. Cao was not smart, he had been married to Chang Maoming for more than ten years. One look at his expression and he knew there was something wrong.

"what happened?"

"See for yourself." Chang Maoming handed over the letter directly.

Ms. Cao took it and looked at it, her face looking grim little by little. Finally, she slapped the letter on the table with a pale face and became furious.

"Cao Wei, that bastard! Husband, stop meddling with his official duties!"

Chang Maoming followed the good advice and said, "Listen to Madam!"

Ms. Cao walked back and forth in the room twice, and couldn't help complaining to Chang Maoming, "Tell me, how could he say such a thing."

On the letter, it first talked about Yingying's time with Song Qian'er in the palace.

Everything she said was Cao Yingying's fault. It was her ignorance of the general situation and her vicious words that actually framed her cousin in front of the two princes, causing her to be embarrassed and kicked out of the palace.

Speaking of how disappointed he was, he neither wanted nor dared to have this daughter anymore.

This is to give Cao Yingying to the Cao family. Mr. Cao would not be happy about it.

She had raised this child since she was a child. If it weren't for Cao Wei and Xiao Zhang being Yingying's parents, and their future marriage would need to be decided by them, how could Cao let Yingying go home again and again to build a good relationship with them? .

But it turns out that family love is worthless to them as a couple.

No, nor is it.

But this daughter is worthless in their eyes.

In this regard, Cao Wei is very much like their mother.

Back then, her mother was very picky about her daughter. When her father taught her to study, her mother tried to stop him, saying that it was virtue for a woman to have no talent.

It was also because of the influence of this kind of thinking that although she had studied and had some talents, she had always seemed petty.

Now looking at Cao Wei's attitude towards Cao Yingying, it is obviously the same.

It's just that she had a good father back then, but Yingying was only loved by her aunt.

These were just accusations from Cao Wei, but the following words really ignited Cao's anger.

This Cao Wei actually focused on her dowry, saying that she had nothing to do for many years, and the dowry in the future would have to be returned to her mother's family, so it would be better to return it now.

It doesn’t take too much, just half is enough, and the other half will be used as Yingying’s dowry. If she gets married in the future, they will no longer pay for it.
