The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 465

"Okay, this Jing'er, since I was a child, I like to tinker with some rare things by myself. Let's come out later to see what he is going to do." Hearing what Long'er said, Mrs. Wang said dumbfoundedly, and then took Followed Xiaohuan back to the room and went to change clothes.

Xuan Shijing returned to Hou's mansion in a carriage, and asked the people in the kitchen to pack up their things, and moved to the big room in the mansion that was specially used for gatherings.

Xuan Shijing also went back to the room and changed his clothes. When he came out of the palace, he was still wearing the plain clothes for Li Yuan's spirit guard. Naturally, he couldn't dress like this to see Mrs. Wang.

After I changed my clothes, I went to the room. The kitchen staff prepared all the messy things. The two large copper stoves were burning red, and the heating in the room was suffocating. The pot can be cooked and eaten directly here.

When Mrs. Wang arrived with Long'er and Xiao Huan, Xuan Shijing had already brought the cooks in the kitchen to start working, kneading the dough, mixing the stuffing, crushing the black sesame seeds with a small millstone, and pounding the icing sugar into powder , mixed together, then wrapped in glutinous rice flour, rolled two or three times in glutinous rice noodles, and the round glutinous rice balls are formed.

"Jing'er, what are you cooking for? It's white and round, and it's quite pleasing to look at." Wang praised the glutinous rice balls that Xuan Shijing made and put on the table.

"Mother, this thing is called glutinous rice balls, which is something to be eaten during the Shangyuan Festival, which means reunion, just like the moon in the sky. Although it is said that the moon is sixteen round on the fifteenth day, but look at this Isn’t the moon on the Lantern Festival also round, it’s a wonderful thing for people to reunite when the moon is full, and the family eats hot glutinous rice balls.” Xuan Shijing explained with a smile, and then pulled Wang to sit down. Come down: "Mom, you can try it too."

Xuan Shijing sat with Wang Shi and the others, and Wang Shi also learned to wrap glutinous rice balls. Wang Shi was originally an ingenious man. After Xuan Shijing signaled twice, he learned how to wrap the glutinous rice balls. , more mellow than the one wrapped by Xuan Shijing.

"Mother, the thing about this glutinous rice balls is that the skin is thin and the filling is big. You don't want to wrap the outer skin too thick just to look round." Xuan Shijing said.

"Mother knows, it's not difficult to make glutinous rice balls, it's the same as making steamed buns," Wang said with a smile.

Xuan Shijing was ashamed, Xuan Shijing really couldn't think of any connection between this bag of glutinous rice balls and buns.

Mrs. Wang greeted Long'er and Xiao Huan, sat down, and started making glutinous rice balls. After hearing Xuan Shijing say that the glutinous rice balls meant reunion, Mrs. Wang wanted to pack some more for the people in the house. People split points.

Xuan Shijing, Wang Shi and two servant girls were sitting next to the table making glutinous rice balls, Shi Hu was strong, chopping firewood in the yard, Gao Jun moved the firewood into the house, and the cook in the kitchen was in charge of filling the pot. Middle and lower glutinous rice balls.

Soon, the first pot of glutinous rice balls was cooked and placed in a bowl. Xuan Shijing brought the bowl of glutinous rice balls to Wang Shi and said, "Mother, come and taste."

Wang took the bowl, scooped out a glutinous rice ball from the bowl with a spoon, put it near her mouth, blew it, and took a light bite.

The white skin on the outside was bitten off, and the black sesame filling inside flowed out. This mouthful melted in the mouth, it was glutinous and sweet, and it was very pleasing.

"That's right, it's delicious." Mrs. Wang praised sincerely.

"Eat more if it tastes good. By the way, Long'er, go and scoop some soup out of the pot to cool down. The glutinous rice balls are sweet and greasy. Drink more soup after eating." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou." Long'er responded, then took the pot, got up and went to the side of the pot to fill more than half of the pot of soup and put it on the table to cool.

One after another, the glutinous rice balls began to come out of the pot. Xuan Shijing ate the glutinous rice balls with Mrs. Wang with a bowl, while Long'er and Xiao Huan carried the glutinous rice balls in the pots and began to fill the glutinous rice balls for the people below to eat.

This Shangyuan Festival, no matter how people outside live, anyway, the meal in the Hou Mansion is enjoyable. During the national mourning period, no meat is allowed. Anyway, this glutinous rice ball is also vegetarian, white and fat. Just this color, it is not taboo. edge.

"Come here." After eating enough, Xuan Shijing called the servants from the house over.

"Pack up the remaining glutinous rice balls, send them to the palace, and go to Shangshi Bureau to cook them for your majesty and the empress, by the way, and Princess Jinyang, send some to them, well, your majesty Send twenty to Empress and Princess Jinyang, seven or eight to Princess Jinyang, and send the rest to the Spirit Hall for the three Highnesses." Xuan Shijing looked at the table beside him, and there were about thirty or forty left. What about an uncooked glutinous rice ball, just send it to the palace. Once Li Yuan goes, maybe Sizi will be so sad, and Li Chengqian and his three brothers have been kneeling in the hall of spirits for a whole day. I only drank some soup, so how could it be done.

I heard Si Zi said before that although there is a gap between His Majesty Li Er and the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, Li Yuan loves Jinyang's granddaughter very much. It is the love that wants the stars but not the moon, and wants to eat fish but not stewed chicken. , Jinyang also goes to Da'an Palace to accompany Li Yuan for a while every day.

Si Zi must be very sad when the Supreme Emperor died.

Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing was also a little worried about the situation of Princess Jinyang in the palace. Now His Majesty Li Er is handling the funeral of the Supreme Emperor according to the regulations prepared by the Ministry of Rites. Li Ke and Li Tai three brothers were staying at the Spirit Hall until the day of the funeral, leaving only Princess Jinyang in the warm pavilion, how lonely that would be.

The servants of the mansion took Xuan Shijing's token, took the food box, filled the glutinous rice balls on the table, and hurried to Miyagi.

Just as Xuan Shijing guessed, Jin Yang had already stayed in the Nuan Pavilion for a day. In front of the Supreme Emperor's spirit, Jin Yang, as a princess, just went to bow down and was led back by the little eunuch, and stayed here all the time. In the Nuan Pavilion, he never went out again, and now the palace is full of chaos, Jinyang didn't want to cause any trouble to the palace people, so he locked himself in the study for a whole day without coming down.

The emperor's grandfather who loved him so much passed away. Jin Yang didn't say much all day long, but just sat there alone, unable to read his favorite book in the past, so he just sat there in a daze. for a day.

The maids and eunuchs guarding the stairs also silently accompanied Jin Yang all day long. Seeing her princess like this, she didn't dare to go up to disturb her, but she was worried that the princess hadn't eaten all day, in case she starved to death What should I do if I lose my body.
