Cute and soft group pet the little emperor [Qing wear]

next day

Ten-year-old Hong Jiao went out with her little cousin.

"Zhao Zhao, Ah Ma said that you want to see how those small vendors do their mental calculations. What do you want to see?" Hong Jiao fully respected the little cousin's idea.

"Anything is fine." Zhao Zhao is really not familiar with the capital, so he can't think of anything for a while.

"Well, I like to grow flowers most on weekdays, why don't I take you to the place where you buy flowers?"

Hongjiao's temperament is very gentle, and his hobbies are very different from those of this age boy. He likes to cultivate some precious flowers and plants himself, among which chrysanthemums are his favorite.

"Okay~" Zhaozhao let brother Hongjiao hold her hand.

Hongjiao also likes this little cousin who loves to laugh and is well-behaved, unlike his two concubine younger brothers who are noisy and cry at every turn.

When we arrived at the area dedicated to selling flowers, plants, insects, fish, birds and animals, it became obviously quieter. Unlike other places, there were hawking noises everywhere. The people doing business in this place were very quiet, and some people even read books and looked at them. It doesn't look like a business, it's just to pass the time.

The place Zhaozhao went to last time with brother Hongzhou that sells pets is just like heaven and earth.

The people who come here are all older people, and most of them are literati. Zhaozhao found that their transactions are very fast.

"Brother Hongjiao, why didn't they even ask the price?"

Hong Jiao smiled and said: "Because the things in this place are not cheap at all, and both buyers and sellers are knowledgeable people, it is easy to recognize each other's identity, so there is no need to worry about being cheated, most of the shops will only sell to People who are close to each other.

For example, the bluegrass shop next door is not sold to ordinary people. Buyers must know the different varieties of bluegrass, know how to grow them, and must be people who really love bluegrass. "

It was the first time Zhaozhao heard of such a strange trading rule, and he was taken aback when he heard it.

This is the place where Hongjiao specially brought his little cousin here according to his Ama's instructions, because Ama was worried that his little cousin would get some bad philistinism if he went to watch ordinary small businessmen, so Hongjiao took Xiaotang with him. My brother came from a special land that ordinary people don't even know about.

"Then if Zhaozhao wants to buy something here, shouldn't he have to prove himself to the seller first?" Zhaozhao asked back.

Hong Jiao nodded with a smile.

"Is there anything Zhao Zhao wants to buy?"

"Not yet, but when I go back to the palace, I want to bring a gift for Er Niang." This is Zhao Zhao's habit.

But this sounds very strange to Hongjiao, the empress must have everything, why does the little cousin want to bring a gift to the empress?

After thinking about it, Hongjiao asked.

Zhaozhao answered him as a matter of course: "Because I will be very happy to receive the gift. Although Erniang has seen all kinds of rare treasures, what Zhaozhao gave is different. Brother Hongjiao, you have never given it to Aunt Thirteen. A gift?"

Hongjiao thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Except for a congratulatory gift on Erniang's birthday, there is no such custom in ordinary times."

In the years since he was born, Ama's situation is not good, and Erniang's full attention has been put on Ama. The people who accompany him by his side are usually servants of the mansion, and it is only natural for a servant to serve him , no one would tell Hongjiao to occasionally give gifts to those who treat him well.

Zhaozhao can see that Hongjiao brother seems to be a bit cold and indifferent, there is a word to describe him just right, out of this world.

"Okay, but Eniang always smiles happily every time she receives a gift from Zhaozhao, and Eniang's birthday is in May, and there are still four full months to prepare, but Zhaozhao hasn't decided what to give to Eniang yet. What kind of birthday gift for mother?"

Hongjiao was stunned for a moment, the empress's Qianqiu Festival is naturally a very grand day, no wonder the little cousin is worried about it.

"Then Zhaozhao, do you have a general direction? Do you want to send something you made yourself or a rare item you bought?" Hongjiao has some experience in giving birthday gifts to Er Niang, and he is willing to help his little cousin share his worries.

Zhao Zhao crossed her chest with one hand and pinched her chin with the other hand, lost in thought.

"But Zhaozhao doesn't have that much money, and no matter how rare it is, it can't compare to the things that Ama gave to Er Niang, but Zhaozhao can't do anything, and he hasn't even learned how to write, alas~" The little adult Zhaozhao seemed helpless. with a sigh.

"You can learn if you don't know it." Hongjiao said solemnly.

"What can I learn in four months?" Zhao Zhao asked back, frowning.

"Why don't Zhaozhao learn how to make folding fans with me? I know a family who has been making folding fans for generations. It happens to be hot in May. The folding fan you give can also be used to cool off. What does Zhaozhao think?"

"Okay!" Zhao Zhao still remembered that he had bought a folding fan at the market in Xiaotangshan Palace, it didn't seem to be particularly difficult, and he could even paint on it.

In this way, Hongjiao led his little cousin around several streets, and walked to a store with the word "Su Fan" written on the plaque at the door.

"His family's ancestors were originally from Suzhou, and later settled in the capital." Hongjiao explained.

Zhao Zhao nodded, and let brother Hongjiao lead him in.

"Master Su, Hongjiao has come to visit you."

The man lying down behind the counter who was taking a nap yawned lazily, stood up, and leaned lazily on the counter, with a white jade-like elbow protruding from his loose clothes.

"Yo? You brought a little guy here today, your younger brother?" Seeing the cute little guy with bulging cheeks, Master Su couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his face.

It was the first time Zhaozhao saw a man who was so good-looking, enough to describe him as enchanting, Zhaozhao stared at his face blankly.

"Little ghost, are you dumbfounded?" Master Su felt that his dumbfounded appearance was very cute, so he couldn't help teasing him, and deliberately smiled at him.

"Brother Hongjiao, Zhao Zhao has seen a god~" Zhao Zhao said with a foolish smile.

These words successfully amused Master Su, who had a slightly strange face.

"What are you doing with such a silly brat here? Are you deliberately asking him to make me happy?" Su Huanxi said to Hongjiao, pinching Zhaozhao's face.

"No..." Before Hongjiao had time to say what he wanted to say in the future, he was interrupted by Zhaozhao.

"Brother Immortal, since you are happy, can you teach Zhaozhao how to make a folding fan?"

"You want to learn how to make a folding fan from me?" Su Huanxi was a little surprised, this child can't be five years old.

"Yes! Zhaozhao wants to give Erniang a birthday present. Brother Shenxian, you are so good-looking, the fan you made must be beautiful too. Zhaozhao's Erniang will look even better with a beautiful fan! "

Zhao Zhao's small mouth kept chattering like a tongue twister, Su Huan Xiguang heard the word "beautiful".

"My tuition here is not cheap." Su Huanxi looked at him and said slowly.

"Zhao Zhao is rich!" After finishing speaking, the little guy put his purse on the counter.

Su Huanxi picked up the exquisite little purse, and her originally sloppy expression became a lot more serious. This material is a tribute, and the status of this little guy seems unusual.

"Money is enough. It's not impossible to teach you, but you have to know that the process of making folding fans is complicated, it can't be done in a day, and it's very boring. Are you sure you want to learn from me?"

Zhao Zhao nodded firmly.

"Forget it, you are also a filial little doll, I think you are pleasing to the eye, come with me later."

Su Huanxi closed the shop and didn't plan to do business again today.

"You just said you were going to give it to your mother?" Su Huanxi asked as she walked.

"Hmm~"

"Since it is made for women, it is better to use red sandalwood, which can also bring a delicate fragrance when waving the fan."

"Good acridine~"

"Then I'm afraid you have to add some money to me."

Zhao Zhao frowned and said with some embarrassment: "Can Zhao Zhao give it to you again at this time next month?"

"Of course, good rosewood is not so easy to get, and I have to spend some time looking for it."

"Master Su, Zhaozhao is still young, so your price should be fair." Hongjiao was worried that his little cousin would suffer.

"Don't worry, I don't dare to take advantage of this little guy. The price is absolutely fair, and there is no deception."

Besides, he was already asking for others, so how could he really open his mouth like a lion.

From then on, at the end of the next four months, Zhaozhao would come to this shop named "Su Fan" with Hongjiao's company, and learn how to make folding fans from Su Huanxi.

Finally, before the Empress's Qianqiu Festival, I successfully obtained a folding fan with a red sandalwood hollowed out phoenix pattern.

The bones of this folding fan were polished by Zhaozhao himself, and the engraved pattern was also designed by him himself. Zhaozhao even made a piece of excellent jadeite in his inventory into a fan pendant.

Su Huanxi also gave him an exquisite hollow carved wooden box to hold the fan.

Soon came May [-]th, the Empress's Thousand Autumn Festival. Officials from all over the country congratulated the Empress. Civil and military officials in Beijing all wore python robes for a whole day to show their respect for the Empress.

On that day, Ulanara was wearing a bright yellow queen's court dress, neatly dressed, and looked very dignified.

When Zhao Zhao saw E Niang at the door, he almost didn't dare to recognize her, until E Niang smiled softly, softening the daunting nobility and dignity just now.

Zhao Zhao ran over and lay on Er Niang's lap, smiling sweetly.

"Who is this beautiful and noble fairy-like person~ So it's Zhaozhao's Erniang~ Hehe~ Erniang looks so good today! Zhaozhao almost didn't dare to recognize her!"

"Slick tongue." Ulanara lightly tapped the little guy's forehead and reprimanded him softly with a smile.

"Be good today. Er Niang has to go to your mama's palace first, and then she has to accept the worship of concubines, Fujin and other wives. I'm afraid she won't have time to look after you all day."

"I know~ Today is Erniang's Qianqiu Festival, Erniang, hurry up and get busy~ Zhaozhao will stay in Zhongcui Palace and wait for Erniang to come back~"

Ulanara first led the concubines to the Yonghe Palace to salute the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager liked this daughter-in-law and was happy to make a face for her.

When the imperial concubine and the other concubines and the princess' wives knelt down to worship the queen, Wulanara straightened her back. She is the queen, the most noble woman in the world, and she should have been very excited about it and joy.

But this is not the case. Ulanara felt that these were not as meaningful as the joy Zhao Zhao brought to her. Ulanara even lost her mind. She thought to herself: I don’t know what kind of birthday gift Zhaozhao will give her today.

The reason why he expects this is because Zhaozhao has been secretive for the past few months, but the little guy can't hide it, and revealed a little bit in his self-satisfied words, which seems to be a gift he personally participated in making.

In addition to salutes and pilgrimage, there is also a banquet, the prince presents birthday poems, and the royal family members also say compliments and praises for her repeatedly. all day.

When we returned to Zhongcui Palace, it was already late.

As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, a small figure rushed over immediately.

"Er Niang, you are back~" The little guy's voice was soft, looking extremely sleepy.

"Why haven't you slept yet? Erniang thought you had already rested." Ulanara took Zhao Zhao's hand and led him into the hall.

"Zhao Zhao hasn't given E Niang a birthday gift yet~" E Niang woke up very early in the morning and was very busy, Zhao Zhao couldn't afford to send out her own gift, so she had to wait until now.

Zhaozhao personally carried the hollowed-out carved wooden box that had been prepared.

"Er Niang, take a quick look~ Zhao Zhao made this with his own hands."

Yin Wan helped open the lid of the wooden box, and Ulanara saw a red sandalwood folding fan inside, and she immediately showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Er Niang really didn't expect that Zhao Zhao would give a folding fan."

"Er Niang, please open it and have a look~" Zhao Zhao couldn't help urging.

"Good good."

Ulanara took it out of the wooden box and slowly unfolded it, and a phoenix with its head up and its wings spread came into view.

"Er Niang, look, there is another Zhao Zhao here~"

Zhao Zhao pointed to an unremarkable villain next to him, which he insisted on adding, and almost quarreled with Su Huanxi who taught him how to make this fan.

Ulanara touched the corner of the villain's mouth and raised it a little.

"Emiang likes this gift from Zhaozhao very much."

The little eunuch who followed Zhao Zhao every day interrupted at this moment.

"Empress, you don't know that the red sandalwood hollowed-out phoenix pattern folding fan was personally produced by the sixth elder brother, and his hands were worn out several times. I didn't want the servant to say that the sixth elder brother's filial piety to your empress is really true." Heaven and earth can learn from each other."

Ulanara hurriedly held the little guy's hand distressedly, frowning and looking carefully.

"Why don't you tell me you're hurt? Er Niang would rather not have this gift than let Zhao Zhao get hurt."

Zhao Zhao leaned forward and kissed her mother.

"But Zhaozhao wants to personally give Erniang a special gift~"

"Zhaozhao is the most special and precious gift that Erniang has. With Zhaozhao, Erniang doesn't want anything else." Ulanara whispered while holding the soft little body in front of her.

"Eniang is also the most special and precious gift that Zhaozhao has~" Zhaozhao knew that a child with Erniang could live such a happy life after having Erniang!

"Are you happy, mother?"

"My mother is very happy today."

"Then Zhaozhao's gift, Erniang, does she like it~"

"I like it, this is the one I like the most among all the gifts my mother received today."
