There is Room For the Poor Daughter

"Mother, I also want to make moon cakes."

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Daohua ordered the kitchen to make a lot of moon cakes, some of which were packaged for officials in Liangdu, and the other to be sent to the military town for soldiers in the army.

Daozi passed by the kitchen and saw that the cooks in the kitchen were busy making moon cakes, so he got interested and ran to look for Daohua.

Daohua smiled and looked at her son: "Moon cakes are not easy to make."

Daozi is full of confidence: "Mother, didn't you say that the clay figurines I made look good, I can even make clay figurines, how can I not make moon cakes?"

Daohua didn't want to raise her son into a dummy who was not divided into five grains and four bodies.

"My mother will send a cook to teach you. You are not allowed to go to the kitchen to make trouble. Also, moon cakes are different from clay figurines. Moon cakes are made of grain and are eaten. You are not allowed to waste grain during this period."

Daozi nodded hurriedly: "I know."

With Daohua's permission, Daozi felt that he was bored by himself again, and ran to pull Xiao Moren over to accompany him to learn how to make moon cakes.

How did Xiao Moren do this? From birth to now, he has always been open to the mouth, and he was suddenly pulled into the kitchen where he had never been before. It was a complete discomfort.

But seeing that under the guidance of the cook, Daozi was soon kneading the dough in a similar manner. In order not to lose the demeanor of a brother, he could only bite the bullet and put his hand into the flour.

Nanshan Hall.

Xiao Moqing and Xiao Mokuan came over to greet Gu Jian as usual, and they were filial to their father, and now they come to the palace to check in every day.

Come here in the morning, go back in the afternoon, and have a meal with Gu Jian in the palace at noon.

Several children said they were here to accompany Gu Jian, but in fact they spent most of the time playing by themselves.

In the morning, Daozi and Xiao Moren wanted to learn martial arts, so they played in the amusement park by themselves.

After the greeting, Xiao Mokuan noticed that Daozi and Xiao Moren were not there, thinking that they had gone to the martial arts field, so he said to Xiao Moqing, "I went to the martial arts field to find fourth brother and Daozi, do you want to come together?"

During this period of time, he had more contact with several younger brothers, and he became a lot more comfortable with them, which made him temporarily forget the difference between direct descendants.

Xiao Moqing shook his head: "I'm going to the amusement park." There are many toys in the Daozi amusement park that he has never seen before. He hasn't had enough of it. Besides, he is so tired from practicing martial arts, so he shouldn't take the initiative to look for guilt.

Xiao Mobao is a pleasure-loving person, and his round body can also tell how reluctant he is to move, and naturally he is not willing to go to the martial arts field.

Xiao Moxu felt that he was still young, so of course he had to go to the amusement park first.

Seeing that several younger brothers were unwilling, Xiao Mokuan said: "Then I will take you to the amusement park first, and then go to the fourth brother and Daozi."

Dong Li on the side heard their conversation and said with a smile: "Several little princes, the little prince and the fourth prince didn't go to the martial arts training ground. They are now learning how to make moon cakes in the kitchen."

Hearing this, Xiao Moqing's eyes widened immediately: "What, fourth brother and Daozi are making moon cakes in the kitchen? Isn't this what the servants should do?"

After hearing it, Gu Jian couldn't help but say: "What's wrong with learning to cook by yourself? Now that you have servants serving you, naturally you don't have to do it, but in case one day you and the servants around you will serve you. When the people are scattered, how will you get food?"

Hearing Gu Jian's question, Xiao Moqing was silent.

Xiao Mokuan thought for a while, then stepped forward and replied, "Old Ancestor, let's also go to the kitchen now and learn how to make moon cakes with the fourth brother and Daozi."

Gu Jian said with an "um": "Although you are the sons of the prince, it's good to learn more about yourself. People's lives have ups and downs, and who can guarantee that they will be safe and happy all their lives."

Every day when Xiao Moqing goes out, Mrs. An will tell him to listen to Gu Jian's words, so when he hears Gu Jian's words, he immediately said: "Then we will now go to the fourth brother and Daozi to learn how to make moon cakes."

Gu Jian waved his hand, and the children quickly walked out of the yard.

The Wangfu kitchen is a large independent yard. At this moment, more than a dozen cooks are making moon cakes in full swing.

In the kitchen wing, there are still many maids who are pasting red paper with the mark of the palace on the moon cake boxes sent by the craftsmen.

At the corner of the kitchen, a cook was patiently instructing Daozi and Xiao Moren to put dough into the moon cake mold.

"Fourth brother, I made rose moon cakes, what are you making?"

"I make Wufu moon cakes."

Daozi took a look at the moon cakes Xiao Moren made, and then looked at the moon cakes he made, and said a little smugly: "I think I should make them better."

Xiao Moren didn't argue with Daozi. When he saw the first moon cake he made, he felt a sense of accomplishment. At the same time, he was also interested. He said to Daozi, "Daozi, let's do more, do it well, and give it to everyone. Try it."

Daozi nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I want to feed my mother, as well as my father, as well as my ancestors, grandmother, and Grandpa Chu."

Xiao Moren took over the words: "Then I will make it for the sixth brother and them to eat."

As soon as the words fell, the two saw Xiao Mokuan and the four coming to the kitchen.

When Xiao Mokuan and the four entered the kitchen, they saw Rice and Xiao Moren with white flour on their faces.

Seeing how dirty the two of them looked, Xiao Moqing immediately pointed at them and laughed.

Xiao Moren and Daozi ignored him and looked at the three of them: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Mokuan: "The ancestor said that you are learning to make moon cakes, so let us come and learn."

When the cook on the side heard it, her head suddenly became a little big, and it was a little difficult for her to teach the little prince and the fourth emperor's grandson. If there were a few more emperors and grandsons, she really couldn't stand it.

The cook immediately called a fire maid to go to the main courtyard to report the situation to Daohua.

After listening to Daohua, she didn't say anything, and asked the kitchen steward to send another cook to teach a few children. As long as they don't cause trouble, let them be.

However, in less than half an hour, someone from the kitchen came again, and this time it was directly in charge.

The kitchen steward said with a bitter face: "Princess, just now, the little prince and a few grandsons were chasing in the kitchen, and accidentally knocked over hundreds of moon cakes. Those moon cakes hadn't even been on the oven, and fell to the ground. Dirty."

Daohua hurriedly asked, "Are the children all right?"

The kitchen steward hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, the little prince and a few grandsons are fine."

Daohua was relieved: "Take the dirty mooncakes to the animals, and then quickly make a batch."

Seeing that Daohua was not to blame, the steward secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave when he heard Daohua say, "After you go back, send someone to bring those little guys to the main courtyard."

Daozi and Xiao Moqing, who had knocked over hundreds of mooncakes, knew they were in trouble, ran out of the kitchen, hid in the amusement park, and did not dare to see adults.

"What should I do? Last time the seventh brother and Daozi fought, my aunt punished them. Now that we overturned the moon cake, will my aunt punish us too?"

Xiao Mobao asked worriedly, his face still stained with uncleaned flour.

Daozi wilted: "My mother will definitely punish us."

Xiao Moqing asked uncertainly: "Isn't it just overturning the moon cake, my aunt won't be so stingy, and will punish us for this trivial matter?"

Xiao Moren thought for a while and said, "Whether my aunt punishes us or not, we should take the initiative to admit our mistakes to my aunt when we did something wrong."

Hearing this, Daozi immediately looked over: "The fourth brother, you go ahead, I will follow you."

Looking at the cowardly Daozi, Xiao Moren was speechless and dragged him towards the main courtyard, while the others shrank their heads and followed behind.
