Chapter 054 Brother Hug, Brother Warms

The two of them went back in the carriage. The carriage was shaking. The kitten sat by the window and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Xia Silan asked.

"It's nothing, but I didn't expect that after coming here, I would have to go through a fight!"

"If you don't want to do this, leave it to me." Xia Silan said calmly, "I'll do it."

Her brother's expression was still very cold, and Xia Yu'an knew that this was due to his personality.

But the words that came out were warm.

Hehe, Third Brother has always been very kind to himself!

"No, no." Xia Yu'an took the deed and the shop and held them in his arms: "This is not difficult for me, just wait and see!"

Humph, he'll search the melon fields overnight to see what's wrong with these melons. He doesn't believe that he can't find a solution!

"Speaking of which, this is obviously a trap, why did you accept it?"

However, my brother was calm and at ease when dealing with the Second Aunt. The way he inflicted internal injuries on the Second Aunt was really hilarious!

Look at the expression on Second Aunt’s face when she left!

Xia Silan smiled coldly, calm and relaxed: "If she gives it to me, just take it."

"Why not take away the property that is delivered to your doorstep?"

That’s right, don’t miss it!

Even though the other party has set a trap, as long as the operation is done well, the property can be delivered to them quickly!

Xia Silan thought more, he held the fan tightly in his hand, if he died in this life, he would leave enough property for his youngest son...

.

After living in the palace for half a month, I came back to find that the courtyard was almost overgrown with weeds.

In fact, Shi Liu and his family decorated the courtyard very cozy, but this Lin Xi Courtyard is too deserted without an owner!

Although the Lord Xia Silan is cold, the Young Lord is so lively!

It's like a little sun, lighting up the entire courtyard.

Actually, Lin Xiyuan's location in the palace is a bit remote, but with the master and the deputy master, no one in the courtyard feels bored.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, the 27th day of the 11th lunar month, when people slaughter chickens and go to the market. Pomegranates and pumpkins have already been picked outside, and with the New Year's goods provided by the palace, this year can be a very prosperous one.

Xia Yu'an and Xia Silan also bought a lot on the way back. In the evening, the family gathered in the courtyard to make dumplings.

It’s New Year’s Eve and the moon is bright.

Shi Liu and Shi Liu also sat down and started wrapping dumplings together. There weren’t so many rules during the New Year.

Xia Yu'an wrapped a meat dumpling crookedly, raised his head and looked at his brother opposite him.

"Happy New Year."

Xia Silan also put away the dumplings in his hand and Xia Yu'an's, and smiled: "Peace and happiness."

Let’s set off fireworks!

In ancient times, there were not so many rules and no ban on fireworks. When the New Year’s bell rang, the first firework flew into the sky outside the palace before Xia Silan had even finished speaking.

With the joyful and excited shouts of the crowd, the red fireworks reached their climax.

Then other types of fireworks started to light up, yellow, green...

The firelight was bright and dazzling.

My brother is so handsome.

It flickers, and it seems even more beautiful under this kind of light.

The looks are awesome!

"What's wrong?" Xia Silan said with a smile.

"The fireworks are like jade, and the beauty is unparalleled!"

"You've made some progress in your studies." He reached out and gently tapped the kitten's head.

Although he had dumplings, Xia Yu'an still wanted to have a hot pot.

It is time to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but after having dumplings, we also need hot pot.

I haven't eaten this for a long time. I'm craving it.

Xia Yu'an had thought about it since the last palace banquet, but had never been able to put it into practice.

"Young Master, what is a hot pot?" Pomegranate asked curiously.

"Hurry, hurry, put up a small stove and get a big pot of boiling water!"

"Is the lamb sliced? Ask the chef to slice it! It's best to have it in a roll!"

"Get some green onions and tomatoes!" Make the base of the pot! Hehe.

My brother and I carefully selected this mutton, it’s absolutely perfect.

Then ask the chef to add sesame paste and some chives, and the ingredients for a hot pot are ready.

Outside the courtyard gate, Fu Ruhai was keeping watch with a dust whisk in his hand, while he stretched his neck to look inside.

"Master, why are you throwing so many green onions and tomatoes?" Pomegranate said while adding condiments.

"This is called hot pot base!"

"Base, base ingredients?" How fresh!

It's a new thing, I've never heard of it before.

.

Imperial Palace, Main Hall.

Emperor Shaoguang then set up the hot pot.

It was New Year's Day, and he was the only one left, except for the eunuchs and palace maids.

"You, go and send someone to ask what Lin Xiyuan's family is doing?"

"Your Majesty, you forgot that I went to ask him a quarter of an hour ago and I am back now."

"Okay, then ask him to come up."

Another eunuch in charge came to report.

"In reply to your Majesty, the Crown Prince's Consort... is also eating hot pot."

"Oh? Really?" Emperor Shao Guang said, "How do they do it? How do you eat hot pot?"

The eunuch said mysteriously, "It is said that...hot pot base is the essence and indispensable!"

"What? There's still base material?"

The New Year's Shadow Guard and the Imperial Master went there, but Concubine De and Concubine Shu would not let them in. Even the hot pot he ate was pirated! Alas!

The base must be delicious!

"Tell me, how did he do it?"

"Forget it, I'll go myself!"

"Get the car! Tell the prince and his wife that I want to eat hot pot base!"

"Yes."

Xia Yuan looked at the Shao Guang Emperor in front of him:???

Why is the emperor here so late in the night?

Just as he was about to perform the ceremony, Emperor Shaoguang waved his hand and stopped him.

I saw a bird on the head of the eunuch next to Emperor Shaoguang. "Stand up, stand up!"

Seeing Xia Yu'an, he climbed onto Emperor Shaoguang's head again and spoke in a flowery and bird-like voice: "Silly beep——"

Yoho.

The taste of hometown.

It seems that when learning a foreign language, most people first learn how to swear!

Bird: "Let me sing a song for you."

“Tsk, tsk—”

Everyone was eating happily together, and hey, the bird even sang to add to the fun!

The excitement was aroused as the hot pot was almost empty.

"Your Majesty, this is a bad thing to eat for free, right?"

Xia Yu'an blinked and looked at him eagerly.

New Year’s red envelope?

He originally cooked this hot pot for four people. Now Emperor Shao has come and he didn't bring any ingredients, so he has less to eat!

Emperor Shaoguang searched his body for a long time, feeling a little embarrassed. The royal jade pendant could never be given to someone else. He turned his head and looked at the parrot: "Do you like it very much?"

"How about... you find a day and stew it...?"

Xia Yuan: ...

This is a garbage shelter, right?

"Well, tell me whatever you have to say, and I'll do whatever I can for you."

Xia Yu'an's eyes were still burning.

Emperor Shaoguang felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, and threw the royal jade pendant away: "Forget it, I owe you this! Next time... next time I will bring some food, okay!?"

Shao Guangdi has already understood that this hot pot requires food to be brought along. He has plenty of food, so he will have to get the base ingredients from Xia Yu'an next time.

Why are you eating buffet here with me?

After the emperor left, Xia Yu'an looked at the parrot in front of him: "..."

Forget it, let it keep the pigeon company.

Maybe there will even be an interspecies love affair?

Come on, I’m rooting for you!

.

At night, there was a strong wind and the temperature dropped drastically, which was completely different from the daytime.

The kitten is shivering in the quilt.

It’s cool!

A ball of heat gently embraced him from behind.

"Can't sleep?" Xia Silan asked in a clear voice.

"A little bit..."

"What about this?"

"That's much better."

Xia Yu'an was sleeping soundly in Xia Silan's arms.

Hehe, being hugged by my brother, being warmed by my brother, I feel satisfied!

After a few days of rest at the beginning of the year, everyone went back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The shop of the Marquis' Mansion was also open. Xia Yu'an lowered his head and sorted out the deed in his hand: "Let's go."

Go check out those shops.

This is a family business!!

If you do a good job, you can officially take over my aunt's shop.

He would never let his aunt off for what she did to his brother's mother, Xuefu, no matter what.

This is a great time to vent your anger!

Home, here I come!

Xia Yuan sat in the carriage, Shi Liu sat with him inside, while Sixteen and several servants drove the carriage outside.

Because after coming out of the palace, there were still a lot of people following him.

So cool!

One chicken, two chickens...

Along the way, Xia Yuan counted how many chickens he could buy from these shops.

Conclusion: There are so many! It seems like it could fill up the entire Forbidden City!

Imagining the city full of chickens, the kitten was happy, but a little dizzy.

Xia Yu'an first came to a steamed bun shop.

The shop is quite big, and it is kept clean, tidy, and bright inside. It is obvious that the food safety and hygiene are up to standard.

Because it is a business of the Marquis' Mansion and is also under the Royal Palace, the signboard is also very loud. Xia Yuan feels that it is like a future chain.

It seems that there are quite a few people, but why did they lose?

The carriage stopped, Xia Yu'an got out, and after being helped down by Sixteen, he said to the servants at the back of the carriage:

"Hey, don't follow me."

"Pomegranate, Xiaoshiliu, just follow me."

For this kind of thing, of course, Sen*wan* must organize a "secret visit"!

Otherwise, if people see the dignitaries coming and make preparations in advance, what effect will it have?

However, before I got close, I saw a dramatic scene.

I saw a parent making a loud noise.

"My child is ignorant and spent so much money on your buns!"

"You corrupted my child, give me your money back!"

“…”

so it is.

Dashao has laws that businesses cannot refuse to sell goods without reason.

However, children under the age of 16 can request a refund if they purchase the product.

Xia Yu'an understood.

"The child was ignorant and bought the buns from his family. Aren't the adults ignorant too?" the woman continued.

Xia Yu'an walked towards the door of the bun shop, and a loud voice came:

"Yeah, aren't adults ignorant too?"
