The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

The father-in-law took out the imperial edict and unfolded it.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Huarong's daughter Xu Zhiyan and the current crown prince Li Wenjin are both highly educated and of excellent moral character. They intervened in time to minimize the impact of natural disasters. We hereby give you a reward!"

The series of rewards made Xu Zhiyan stunned.

[With so many things, I will have to sort out the things without the royal symbol later and sell them, and use the money as a reserve fund to deal with natural disasters. 】

Her little abacus clicked, and Li Wenjin felt soft-hearted.

Silly girl, the emperor has made it clear that even if she doesn't ask for it, relief money and food will definitely come, but she didn't consider this and directly decided to use her reward to fill the hole.

While sighing, the father-in-law had already finished reading out the reward. He stood up and took over the imperial edict, indicating to his servants to give them the reward, and then led them down to take a bath and rest.

As soon as her father-in-law left, Xu Zhiyan became active, standing on tiptoes and pulling on his arm.

"Let's go take a look at the rewards, pick out the unmarked ones, sell them secretly, and use the money to stock up on food and supplies. The crops here are all flooded. It will take a long time to wait for the water to dry before planting again. This consumption of food There’s definitely no such thing as too much.”

Li Wenjin pinched her little face.

"There is no need to exchange these for money to buy them. The imperial court will provide disaster relief money and food."

Of course Xu Zhiyan knew, but...

[Every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, the imperial court says it will allocate funds, but the speed is slower than a tortoise crawling. When the funds arrive, the day lilies are already cold, so I’d better pay for them myself first to prevent the people from suffering. 】

She babbled a lot in her heart, but she also knew that she couldn't say it with her mouth.

"I am doing this for emergencies. When the government's disaster relief funds arrive, they will subsidize me as well."

Li Wenjin lowered his eyes.

He loosened his grip on her face and slid it along the curve of her face to the side of her neck.

"Nanny is interested, but there is no need. This disaster relief money and grain will arrive soon. The common people have the batch of grain you prepared and the original government grain reserve to support them, so there will be no problem in a short time. "

He has said so and if she refuses, she will not take the court seriously.

I reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, didn't you say you wanted to make hibiscus custard for me? Come on, come on, I can't wait."

Xu Zhiyan naturally took Li Wenjin's hand and held it in her arms, leading him to the kitchen.

Wearing a half-length apron, he stood in front of the stove, operating it skillfully, while she helped from behind... Okay, she herself felt that she was very busy but didn't know what she was doing.

[I feel like I'm a little in the way. 】

Li Wenjin glanced at her calmly, "Nanny, help me chop some green onions, sprinkle them on the eggs and pour them with hot oil. It's very fragrant."

"okay!"

Xu Zhiyan immediately felt like she had come to life, and she quickly took out the green onions, washed them and cut them into sections.

When the father-in-law was brought over, he saw this scene. He exclaimed and came forward hurriedly, "Your Highness, how can you cook by yourself? What do you want to eat? Let the slave come and the slave will cook it for you." !”

Li Wenjin didn't even move her position.

"No, I just want to come by myself. Don't stay here either. This is not a palace. We are traveling in a low-key manner. You don't need to act like this."

The most important thing is that this is for Xu Zhiyan, and he wants to do it in person.

The father-in-law stepped aside worriedly, as if he could step forward to help at any time, which made Xu Zhiyan feel a little uncomfortable. She cut the onions a lot softer, but the father-in-law still heard the noise and looked over, and both of them were startled. .

"Oh, this slave has so much brains. Why did he forget that you, Miss Xu, are also here to help? Miss Xu, why don't you go to His Highness's place? Please come over here. Don't worry, I can definitely chop the onions very finely!" Xu Zhiyan was not good at rejecting people, so she had to give him the knife. Watching him skillfully chop green onions, she slipped over to Li Wenjin and got close to him to chat.

"He's so enthusiastic."

He tilted his head slightly and looked at her.

"Are you uncomfortable? I'll let him go..."

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that!"

[They were just warm-hearted and didn’t make me feel bad. How could I drive them out? Besides, he also traveled across mountains and rivers to come here. It was already very hard, but he couldn’t bully others anymore. 】

Li Wenjin smiled with a smile on her face.

"Then it makes you feel uncomfortable like this?"

Xu Zhiyan pouted, "In the worst case, I'll go out!"

She picked up her skirt and trotted out, and happened to meet her mother and brothers sitting together drinking tea and watching the rain. The rain was so heavy that everything blurred, and the hot air in the small pavilion swirled up and was eventually submerged in the rain curtain.

Huarong called Xu Zhiyan over and poured him a cup of tea.

"You must be exhausted these past few days. Look, your little face has become a lot sharper. Come on, I have the milk cake you like. Eat more."

Xu Yanqing leaned on the handle of the chair with a carefree attitude. Following Hua Rong's words, his eyes traveled around Xu Zhiyan's face several times, his eyes filled with confusion, "Why do I feel a little fatter?"

Although Xu Zhiyan has been staying up day and night these past few days, she often eats in order to wake up. She was already hungry quickly due to the increased amount of exercise, so she ate more than usual. Coupled with these snacks to wake up, she gained weight. is normal.

She blinked guiltily.

"I'm just skinny!"

[Beautiful women never admit that they are fat! At worst, I'll starve myself a few meals to lose weight. 】

How many meals are you hungry for?
This is not possible!

Hua Rong calmly pushed the tea in front of Xu Zhiyan, and followed what she just said, saying that there was a new cook in the house, who was especially good at Cantonese cuisine. It was not enough to just say that, she also reported the name of the dish.

Xu Zhiyan was successfully called greedy.

[It’s okay, it’s okay, Cantonese food is light and not fattening. 】

She is very good at self-soothing.

Huarong achieved his goal and stopped with satisfaction.

"Seeing that you seem to like it, Mom is relieved. What we are eating tonight is Cantonese food. You should eat more. Don't worry about the food of the people every day and neglect your own. Mom will be unhappy."

Xu Zhiyan took a sip of tea and nodded repeatedly when she heard the words.

"I know, mother."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something and rolled her eyes.

"Mom, the food this time was brought by Uncle Zhang. Have you seen Uncle Zhang? Let me tell you, the older Uncle Zhang is, the more handsome he looks. If he were twenty years younger, he would definitely know how to go out. Buried in the girls’ handkerchiefs?”

Could Hua Rong not know Xu Zhiyan's little thoughts? She was just reminded of things from her youth.

"What you said is true. When Uncle Zhang was young, he had countless admirers. Not only on the streets, but also when he was studying in the academy, there were girls who would ask his classmates to deliver letters. Some of the brave ones would even invite them directly. The matchmaker is here.”

"Your Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he didn't go out for a month."
