Chapter 372;

"That won't work, why don't we just stop playing mahjong and come back to the capital with me."

"Let mother and second aunt prepare for it."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao asked a little puzzled; "Is it necessary? Isn't it just to attend the birthday banquet? Wouldn't it be good to tidy up a little?"

"How can I do that? You are the princess now, and you have a noble status. If you go to an ordinary banquet, that's all."

"This is the emperor's birthday banquet. If it is too casual, it will be rude."

Seeing that Lu Mingxi was really anxious, Lu Yaoyao could only nod his head.

"All right, let's pack up and go back to Beijing."

In the afternoon, the carriage left Chengyuan Villa.

Back in the capital, Lu Mingxi directly explained the matter clearly, both Zhao and Yuan were shocked, and hurriedly got to work.

"Why didn't you talk about such a big event in advance? The emperor's birthday banquet is not a small matter. You are the princess now, and you have won the emperor's favor. If you don't do this well, you will inevitably be picked on."

Mr. Lu was also in a hurry.

"That grandpa, I only found out today."

"But don't worry, I've prepared all the gifts."

"Oh? What gift?"

Lu Yaoyao was a little embarrassed, but she still brought out the third set of mahjong that the worker made the latest.

"what is this?"

"Grandpa, this is mahjong. It's something Yaoyao made out of ivory. It's a kind of game toy."

"Game toys?"

Mr. Lu was stunned.

"Are you going to give this?"

"Wait, then this ivory is what you asked His Majesty for earlier?"

Both Lu Kang and Lu Xiu's brothers were also paralyzed by Lu Yaoyao's operation.

How can a child who is usually so serious become so dishonest at a critical moment?

"Grandpa, this is what His Majesty asked for by name. Besides, gifts are given from the heart. Those rare treasures are precious, but His Majesty sees many of them every year."

"Although my material is ordinary, it's the only one in the entire East Continent, isn't it?"

"cocoa"

Although Lu Yaoyao's words made some sense, he still felt that something was wrong.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I can guarantee that this gift will definitely satisfy His Majesty."

"If you don't believe it, I'll teach you how to play it now. After you have played it, you will know the benefits of this gift."

Seeing that she speaks so seriously, plus she has been in contact with the emperor for a long time, she naturally understands his majesty better than they do.

"Then try?"

Mr. Lu looked at the two sons beside him.

"Try it."

"Qiu Yu goes to the carriage and fetches mahjong."

Because he knew that he would live here for a while when he came back this time, before leaving, Lu Yaoyao brought a set of mahjong over.

She has three pairs in her hand now, one pair will be given to Emperor Hongwen, the rest will be kept by her estate, and the pair she brought over will be kept in Lu's house.

Let the old man and the two uncles play when they are free.

Soon Qiu Yu will be ready.

Lu Yaoyao called the old man and the two uncles to sit down.

"Cousin, come here."

"No, no, it's up to you, I'll tell my father."

"alright."

Lu Yaoyao also sat down at the table, and then explained the rules and how to play to the three of them.

The three of them didn't think it was very interesting at the beginning, but after playing it again, they immediately fell in love with it.

"This thing is good, interesting, really interesting."

"Yes, yes, no wonder Yaoyao was so confident just now, this thing is indeed a very good gift."

Lu Kang nodded with a smile.

"Father, you can't play this one."

Lu Mingxi played with Lu Yaoyao and the others for several days, and gained a deep understanding of how to play mahjong.

At this time, seeing his father's operation, he immediately blocked it.

"Why can't I fight? It's useless for me to keep it."

After speaking, Lu Xiu directly played the cards in his hand.

"Hu!"

The old man chuckled, and reached out to pick up the card that Lu Xiu played just now.

"Look, I said you can't fight, but you still don't believe me."

Lu Xiu was a little depressed.

The Lu family played mahjong very enthusiastically, and Cheng Lixue, who had left Chengyuan Villa, was also drinking and drinking at home at this time.

The first thing she did when she returned to Beijing was to go to the blacksmith's shop and have someone build a small barbecue pit.

This stuff is relatively simple, and it didn't take long to get it done.

At this point, she's showing it to her family.

"Girl, can we stop cooking, your father and I want to live a few more years."

Seeing the confident appearance of his daughter, Jianguo Hou felt a little nervous.

My daughter is a person who can make ordinary dim sum.

"Yes, yes, girl, your father and I both know that you are filial. We don't cook food, so how about we just chat?"

Mrs. Hou also quickly persuaded.

Cheng Lixue's two elder brothers and sister-in-law, as well as the two nephews and nieces of Xiao Douding also nodded in support.

"No, I'm serious about learning from the princess's sister, and I've been verified by Wen's and Dong's sisters. It's absolutely delicious."

Cheng Lixue was very confident.

But the more confident she became, the more frightened her family became.

"Miss, you are ready."

Her maid was not worried about Lord Hou and the others at all, but she had personally verified it.

"Okay, you all get out of the way, let Miss Ben show it in person."

With that said, she stepped forward directly.

Hou Ye and the others in the back all had bitter expressions on their faces.

"Be patient, let's save some face later."

"Boss and second, you are young, remember to share more with your parents later."

The two brothers, Boss Cheng, looked at each other, and subconsciously looked at the children beside them. They wanted to let them share a little for themselves, but at first glance, they were still Xiaodouding, and they were still their own. This thing can't be destroyed, right?

In the end, I could only grit my teeth and bear it.

But soon, a scent permeated the air. Master Hou and the others were thinking about how to deal with it for a while, when they were suddenly attracted by the scent.

"Hey, it seems to be pretty good."

Madam Hou said in a low voice.

"I hope it's not useless, you forget that when she made snacks before, the smell was also very good, but"

Lord Hou lowered his voice, and Madam Hou nodded immediately.

"Auntie, this smells delicious, when will it be ready?"

At this moment, a little Douding ran to Cheng Lixue's side and tugged at her skirt.

"Is it delicious? It will be good soon, and my aunt will let you eat it first, okay?"

Just as Xiaodouding was about to nod his head to answer, Boss Cheng covered his mouth and hugged him back.

"That little girl, Yong'er is still young, she is still your own nephew, we don't want to harm him."

Hearing this, Cheng Lixue was so angry.

They all look down on her, don't they?You wait for me.

"Hmph, then I will harm you in a while, and if you don't see these, you will finish eating them in a while."

Boss Cheng looked at the skewers in her hands that were not very good looking, and his stomach twitched.

But there is no way, you can't let your son bear it, can you?
Soon the skewers were ready, and Cheng Lixue followed Lu Yaoyao's example, put them on a plate, and brought them in front of Lord Hou and the others.

"Father and mother, come and taste it?"

Hou Ye and the others looked at the plate. To be honest, Cheng Lixue's barbecue looks really bad.

"Boss, you come first."

Lord Hou pulled the eldest son beside him.
