Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 280 Cold Noodles
Although under King De's argument, Jin Wang, who was unfavorable in business affairs, was only fined for half a year, but Jin Wang still felt depressed.

It was the first time he suffered such a setback since he entered the court with the old King Jin at the age of 12.

After leaving the early court, King Jin was dragged by King De to talk for a while, then went to the Yamen to deal with some minor matters, and then returned home early.

Although King Jin looked good when he returned home, Jiang Changning could tell that he was holding his breath after being married for several years.

Moreover, King Qing's faction had already spread the word that King Jin was fined.

Jin Wang's family has a big business, half a year's salary is nothing, but this matter makes people feel aggrieved.

But he didn't say anything, and Jiang Changning didn't ask, so that he wouldn't be more upset, he served him tea, sat down beside him, and said softly: "The weather is getting hot, and the mother's concubine's appetite is not good. I can't eat anything, so I asked the cooks to make cold noodles, for lunch, let's eat cold noodles, what do you think, my lord?"

King Jin smiled slightly at Jiang Changning's clear eyes, "Okay, listen to Ningning."

"The sage said that there is nothing that can be solved with a good meal, and if there is, it is two good meals."

"Which sage said such a thing?" King Jin asked with a smile.

Jiang Changning tilted his head, thought for a while, "I don't remember."

"Is that sage's surname Jiang or Changning?" King Jin asked with a narrow smile.

Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows, "My lord, let me ask you, is the virtue of a good wife and the virtue of a sage the same virtue?"

"It's one word."

"Is what my virtuous wife said very reasonable?"

King Jin laughed out loud when he heard the words, his depressed mood improved, "It makes sense."

Just as Jiang Changning was about to say something, Xiao Ming'er shouted outside: "Mother, mother."

"Son, what good things did you find for your mother?" Jiang Changning smiled and looked at the little guy with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Ming'er cheerfully walked up to his mother, and spread out her fisted little hands, revealing the insides that had been squeezed into a ball by him.
Jiang Changning identified it, "It's a butterfly, where did you catch it tomorrow?"

"Hua Hua, Hua Hua." Xiao Ming'er said in a childlike voice.

"My Ming'er is really good, I can catch butterflies." Jiang Changning kissed Xiao Ming'er's face as a reward, "This butterfly is so beautiful."

Beautiful butterfly?

King Jin saw that the butterfly was pinched beyond recognition, because his princess had good eyesight and could recognize it as a butterfly, but anyone with bad eyesight would think it was a mass of mud.

Just like this muddy, but also beautiful?
This is my own mother, so I won't despise dirty.

"Mother accepts this butterfly, thank you Ming'er." Jiang Changning took the butterfly away.

Xiao Ming'er clapped her hands happily, and brought the left side of her cheek closer, "Mother, you still have this side of your face."

"Mother's baby, you are so cute." Jiang Changning put his arms around his son and kissed him hard.

Xiao Ming'er also gave his mother a kiss. Seeing the mother and son being so tired, King Jin coughed lightly, "Ning Ning, the brat is a man, so don't give me kisses and hugs all the time."

Jiang Changning looked at King Jin in surprise. After one year old, can he be called a man?
Why can't she hug her son?
Suddenly, Jiang Changning thought of something, blinked and said, "My lord, you won't even eat your son's jealousy?"

"Who is jealous of my son? I don't. I don't like jealousy. It's not sour." Jin Wang's expression was a little unnatural.

Jiang Changning suppressed a smile, picked up his son, and stuffed him into his arms, "His hands are dirty, you can help him wash them."

"Stinky boy." King Jin called his maid to bring in water to help his son wash his dirty chubby hands.

But when the little guy washes his hands, he feels uneasy. Wash his left hand, and his right hand will pat the water in the basin. Wash his right hand, and his left hand will pat the water in the basin.

The water in the basin was splashed all over, and Jin Wang hugged his belly, "Stinky boy, be more honest."

The little guy loves to play with water. Every day when he takes a bath, he pats the water all over the house, and the water floods Jinshan.

He didn't hear his father's warning, and of course the most important thing was that he didn't understand it either, so he slapped the water in the basin harder with both hands.

King Jin could only hold him away from the basin, the little guy was unhappy, "Shui Shui, Shui Shui."

"Water, what kind of water, when you turn two years old, please teach you the rules."

"Is it too early to ask your husband to teach you the rules at the age of two?" Jiang Changning asked.

"Not too early, I was also enlightened at the age of three." King Jin said.

Hearing this, Jiang Changning looked sympathetically at the ignorant little guy, poor son, who has no happy childhood.

At noon, the family of three ate cold noodles, and the concubine also sent a large bowl to them.

The ancient name of cold noodles: Lengtao, is usually eaten in hot summer when the appetite is poor.

Du Zimei once wrote a poem, which is about this kind of noodles: Green and tall locust leaves, pick and pay Chinese chef Wanli Luhandian, open ice and clear jade pot.The king enjoys the coolness at night, and this taste is also necessary from time to time.

The sophora leaf cold noodles he mentioned are green noodles made with fresh locust leaf juice and noodles.

Jiang Changning asked Mrs. Cui to make green noodles, but mixed with spinach juice.

It's not that she doesn't want to use locust leaves, she just wants to eat cold noodles temporarily, and she won't be able to find locust leaves for a while.

The locust tree is not an auspicious tree, so it is never planted in the courtyard.

The cold noodles were served, and the ingredients were so rich, there were more than a dozen serving dishes, and the table was full.

"My lord, you can add whatever you like." Jiang Changning took a small bowl, took half of it, and scooped a spoonful of minced meat and broth.

"With so many things added, is it still called cold noodles?"

"Why aren't they called cold noodles? Noodles that have been boiled and soaked in cold water are called cold noodles." Jiang Changning handed the prepared noodles to the nanny, "Let's feed it to Xiao Shizi."

The little guy stared eagerly, his bib almost soaked with saliva.

King Jin saw that Jiang Changning put some noodles and put a lot of side dishes, "Are you eating noodles, or are you eating these side dishes?"

"Noodles are the main ingredient, and side dishes are decorations. Without noodles, it cannot be called cold noodles. Without side dishes, noodles will lack soul and will not taste good." Jiang Changning has a plausible argument.

Like her, King Jin added a lot of side dishes, which were indeed smoother and more refreshing than eating cold noodles alone.

In the hot summer, this bowl of cold noodles makes the stomach feel comfortable, and the mood also becomes happy.

At the same time, King Qing and King Yu gathered together for a drink, and King Qing asked rather puzzled, "Why did that kid He Lianyu find out about this in advance?"

Only by selling a few more batches of bows and crossbows can they get more money, but now that they have only sold two batches, they have been exposed.

"You have to be more careful in your actions." King Yu said.

Jiujiang Wang said with a smile: "I've been very careful. After turning a few turns, He Lianyu couldn't track us down at all."

"Did you see that He Lianyu was fined for half a year, and his face was as ugly as his father died."

In the room, everyone laughed loudly, and they were very proud that King Jin had stumbled once.

After dinner, the nanny took Xiao Ming'er to the side room.

After taking a lunch break with Jiang Changning for more than half an hour, King Jin went to the Jingshe Hall in front.

Although he doesn't enter the palace or go to the military office, he can't be idle either.
