The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

In August of the 21st year of Hongwu, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again in a blink of an eye. Both officials and ordinary people were busy celebrating the festival, and Cui Miao's family was no exception.Cui Miao has just finished the autumn harvest and is busy farming again. Cui Miao has been very busy for the past month, so naturally she has no time to think about it, but the work in the field is gone. He wandered around in his mind, which made him very depressed, and he couldn't bear to look for him, so he had to find something to do for himself.

It coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Cui Miao, who has nothing to do, plans to carve the mold by herself, and then make some mooncakes to eat.Carved and thrown, tossed and carved, tossed for several days, finally made a satisfactory mold, not like the pattern of modern moon cakes, but carved cartoon patterns, although simple but very cute.After the mold was carved, he began to tinker with making mooncakes again. After several days of unremitting efforts, the mooncakes that were not decent at first turned out to be decent. After tasting the taste, it was sweet but not greasy, and it melted in the mouth.Looking at Wang Hua's sparkling eyes, Cui Miao felt a sense of accomplishment.

On August [-]th, Cui Miao got up early in the morning, went to the market with Wang Hua, bought some wine, vegetables and ingredients for making moon cakes, and went home to work.Cui Miao made an appointment with Ma Qiang and the others early, to come to the courtyard to celebrate the festival together tonight.After a busy morning, I made a lot of mooncakes. Not only are there various patterns on them, but there are also five flavors, egg yolk, five kernels, jujube paste, bean paste, and the last flavor is meat stuffing. This is the first time I made it. , I tasted it and it tasted pretty good.Cui Miao packed the mooncakes separately and went out with the food box.The first thing to give away is of course King Yan, except for the stuffed meat, there are four of each flavor, and each pattern is different.Cui Miao greeted King Yan and left after a while.

Cui Miao came out of King Yan's study, opened the food box stored in Three Treasures, took out two oil-paper bags from inside, stuffed them in Three Treasures, and said, "Sam Treasures, this is a food I made, called moon cakes, and I will send it to you during the Zhongyuan today." One pack for you to taste. The other pack, please pass it on to Wangsheren for me."

Sanbao was startled, and asked with certainty: "Cui Qianhu, is this for slaves?"

During the Hongwu period, eunuchs had a very low status. Even if they served the emperor and prince, they were often looked down upon by others. Some gave them gold and silver, but most of them had impure purposes.There is really no such thing as Cui Miao giving food during the festival, and doing it by himself.Sanbao works in the palace and is used to seeing all kinds of faces. He can feel Cui Miao's intentions, and he is very moved.

Cui Miao nodded, and said with a smile: "When I first met Three Treasures, I felt very kind. If it weren't for the fact that you have to work on an errand and it's inconvenient to go out of the house, I would like to invite you to my house for the holidays."

Sanbao's eyes were slightly red, and he said emotionally, "Thank you Cui Qianhu!"

"It's just some food. You're welcome, Sambo. I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

In fact, Cui Miao's kindness to Sanbao is purely to appreciate this future great navigator, and has no other purpose.

Cui Miao came to the gate of the Green Bamboo Garden with a food box, and was hesitating whether to call the door, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and Chang An came out from inside, seeing Cui Miao couldn't help being startled, and then saluted: "I have seen you." Cui Qianhu. Are you looking for Lord Hou, I will let you know the younger one."

"No, I'm just here to deliver some things, you can pass them on." Cui Miao hurriedly stopped Chang An, handed him the food box in her hand, and then said: "This is a moon cake, I made it myself, and the prince also gave it to me." , you pass it on to Lord Hou and let him taste it."

Chang An hesitated and said, "Qianhu, why didn't you hand it over to Lord Hou?"

Cui Miao's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first."

Seeing the back of Cui Miao walking away, Chang An came to the door, bowed and shouted: "Master, Cui Qianhu is gone, this is what he asked the little one to hand over."

Shen Qing reached out to take the food box, turned around and walked towards the study, opened the food box to have a look, took out a mooncake with a rabbit pattern, tasted it, and murmured: "You're already here, don't you want to see me?"

After finishing his official duties, King Yan suddenly remembered the food box that Cui Miao had brought. He ordered someone to fetch it, and opened it with great interest. When he saw the mooncakes inside, his eyes lit up. Unfinished feeling.Keep one of each flavor and send it to the princess and prince.As a direct consequence, the three little ones from the Wangfu came to Cui Miao's small courtyard together, looking at the three little ones in front of him like a mobile phone signal, with such longing eyes, Cui Miao gritted his teeth and made a lot of mooncakes .

Both Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu have grown into teenagers, and Zhu Gaosui is already five years old. No matter whether he was born in an emperor's family or not, as long as he is a child, he will always love cute things, especially this round mooncake with cartoon patterns, which is not only delicious , but also very cute, simply let them put it down.

Zhu Gaochi walked into the kitchen, looked at the busy Cui Miao, and said guiltily, "Cui Qianhu, I'm really sorry for bothering you so much!"

"Your Highness is nervous, it is your honor to serve you."

"The emperor seems to be in a bad mood recently. Cui Qianhu and the emperor have always been on good terms. Does Cui Qianhu know why?"

Cui Miao paused her hands, and then said: "Qing Ninghou has not come to bid here for a long time, so I don't know why I bid here."

"Recently, my mother and concubine are discussing marriage for me, but I, I am not ready yet, and I don't want to discuss marriage so early." Zhu Gaochi's young face was flushed, and he asked in confusion: "Cui Qianhu, why did the emperor not So you can not marry a wife, but I can't?"

In fact, I am also very curious about this Cui Miao. Shen Qing is three years older than him, and now he is almost three years old. In modern times, if you don’t get married, you will be urged to marry. However, in this old-fashioned era where marriage is only a political victim, Shen Qing unexpectedly To remain single all the time is nothing short of a miracle.

"Maybe Qing Ninghou has some unspeakable secrets." Could it be that he didn't raise it?

"I asked mother and concubine, and mother and concubine said that the emperor's uncle was severely punished by the emperor's grandfather for refusing to marry him. Let's talk about marriage again. I want to be like the emperor, but I, I'm afraid."

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know anything about it?" Cui Miao asked so eagerly that she even forgot her honorific title.

Zhu Gaochi didn't seem to notice it either, and replied: "It should be four or five years ago. Cui Qianhu was not in Beiping at that time."

Four or five years ago was when Cui Miao was at home with Ding You, no wonder he didn't know anything.

"He, Your Highness, what kind of punishment did he receive in Qing Ninghou?"

"Grandpa Huang originally planned to betroth Aunt Huang to Uncle Huang, but Uncle Huang refused, so Grandpa Huang ordered to beat Uncle Huang with [-] military sticks, and said that as long as he obeyed softly, he would be spared punishment, but Uncle Huang insisted on carrying it. According to the mother and concubine, at that time, the emperor's uncle was bloody and his ribs and leg bones were broken. Even Doctor Wang wanted to give up, but the emperor's uncle survived. Cui Qianhu, in addition to the emperor's grandfather and Father, the ones I admire the most are Uncle Huang, and of course Cui Qianhu."

Afterwards, Cui Miao didn't listen to what Zhu Gaochi said, and his mind was filled with the bloody images of Shen Qing being beaten. His heart ached beyond measure. It turned out that Shen Qing had done so much for their future.Cui Miao couldn't help but think with a wry smile: Maybe he's on top of him for being safe and sound now.

"Cui Qianhu, Cui Qianhu, you are distracted."

Cui Miao came back to her senses and said apologetically, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I was rude in marking."

"No problem. In fact, instead of calling you Cui Qianhu, I would rather call you teacher." Zhu Gaochi walked to Cui Miao's side and said softly, "I'll tell you the truth about Cui Qianhu. It's better to play with Cui Qianhu more, if Cui Qianhu doesn't mind, can I call your teacher when there is no one?"

"Your Highness, this is unavoidable. If people find out, it will definitely cause trouble. Besides, in Biaoxia's heart, the title is not important, what matters is the weight of that person in your heart." Cui Miao blinked at Zhu Gaochi, He whispered: "In my heart, I have long regarded you as a student, and we can just make it clear."

Zhu Gaochi smiled excitedly, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I see, we've made it clear!"

The three little ones had round stomachs, and if they didn't have to accompany their father and mother to have dinner at night, they didn't want to go back.Before leaving, he did not forget to take a lot of mooncakes with him. Looking at the clean table in front of him, Cui Miao had no choice but to resign himself to the kitchen again. He always had the feeling of digging a hole and burying himself.

As soon as the three little ones left, Ma Qiang and the other five came, Cui Miao regained her composure, and continued to work in the kitchen, but with so many helpers, the work was much easier.

An hour later, a table full of food and wine was on the table. Cui Miao rubbed her waist and couldn't help complaining: "Look at each of you, none of you can cook, you just bring Open your mouth and come here, be ashamed or not!"

Chen Hu chuckled, and said: "The kitchen work is all girls,,,,,,"

Cui Miao narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Chen Hu dangerously, and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Ma Qiang slapped Chen Hu on the head, and cursed: "Is there a guard in your mother's mouth? You don't want to eat, but we still want to eat!"

Chen Hu couldn't help shivering from Cui Miao's stare, he quickly laughed and said: "Qianhu, I always talk like this, you must not be as knowledgeable as I am!"

Cui Miao said flatly: "You will be fined to be a fire leader for a month."

Chen Hu wailed and said: "No, Qianhu, please spare me..."

Everyone sat down amidst Chen Hu's wailing and other people's laughter. Celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival at Cui Miao's place seemed to have become their habit. They didn't care about their status or scruples here, just as comfortable as at home.The laughter continued until late at night, when everyone left the table contentedly, helped Cui Miao clean up, and left one after another.
