Chapter 511: Crazy Egg-Cracking Demon
Mu Yihan glanced at his back and whispered to Chunmei.
"This is the second one this month, right? How come he takes the palace cat to see the imperial physician more often than he takes my pulse."
Chunmei held back her laughter and secretly "reported" while serving tea.
"That's right, this month Daju vomited a ball of hair, and he went there once. Last month, Laobai got in a fight and injured his eye, and he also knocked on the door of the Imperial Hospital at night."
Chunmei described it vividly, with her eyebrows flying up. "The one on duty that night was the elderly imperial physician Wu. When he heard him knocking on the door, he thought something big had happened. As a result, he got anxious and got stuck on the door sill and fell down."
Mu Yihan squinted his eyes and shook his head.
No wonder.
He said that Doctor Wu was fine, why did he suddenly use crutches? It turned out that it was the "lame package" sent by Wu Que.
"But Doctor Wu's fall was not in vain." At this time, Xizi whispered, "Later, in order to vent his anger, he castrated all the male cats raised by Wu Que, and said that he would make them eunuchs as well, so as to prevent the palace cat team from growing bigger." "When
Wu Que, the chief steward, knew about it, he was so distressed that he gave Doctor Wu a nickname, saying that he was the egg-sucking demon. Anyway, the feud was made." Xizi said with a blushing face.
Xiao Nuobao had just taken a sip of tea when he heard a puff, and it almost sprayed all over Mu Yihan's face.
"Haha, the egg-sucking demon, daddy help me, this is really too funny." Xiao Nuobao hugged his belly and giggled so much that his face turned red.
When this nickname came out, she didn't know whether the kitten was more pitiful or the old doctor was more pitiful.
Mu Yihan picked up the fat girl who was laughing so hard that she almost choked. He felt helpless. After wiping her face, he held her and continued to stroll around the garden.
What's that? What's that
? Is this what a four-year-old baby should listen to?
As a caring father, Mu Yihan didn't want his daughter to be taught badly, so he gave Chunmei a "murderous" look.
Chunmei quickly covered Xizi's mouth, knowing that "gadan" would become a taboo word in the palace.
The father and daughter rarely strolled around the garden for a while, but after a while, Jiang Fengze came to report to him about the new recruitment of firearms soldiers.
"Okay, Daddy has to go and be busy again, you can let Chunmei and Xizi play with you." Although Mu Yihan was reluctant, he had to let go of the little guy in his arms.
How could little Nuobao agree to this? She followed closely, like a little duck following its mother, twisting her little butt and trying to stick to her daddy.
But at this time, Jiaju also returned to the palace and asked to see Nuobao.
When the little guy heard this, he had to give up chasing after his daddy, and waved his little hand to order people to let Jiaju come over.
Since Jiaju was recruited, in order to make some extra money, he would take on some tasks assigned by the national teacher or Mr. Song from time to time.
Some time ago, Mu Yihan wanted to know the people's sentiments during the autumn harvest in various places, and he thought that officials would often conceal information, so he sent Jiazhi to secretly investigate for him.
Although Jiazhi is a foreigner.
But this identity is advantageous.
At least officials from various places could not imagine that the court would send a red-haired foreigner to secretly investigate the people's sentiments, so they would not be on guard against him. Jiazhi
went all the way north and took a look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of Nanji. Now, just two months old, he is about to come back to report.
Little Nuobao, wrapped in a rabbit fur vest, sat in the small attic of the Yu Garden, swinging his two little feet, with a copper charcoal stove next to his feet.
"Where is Jiazhi, let him in quickly, come in and warm up by the fire." Little Nuobao called in a baby voice.
Soon, before seeing him, I heard Jiazhi's loud and powerful voice.
"Jiazhi has seen the princess."
"It's really been a long time since we last met. Wuwu Jiazhi misses you, princess, do you miss Jiazhi?"
Although the voice sounded familiar, it was inexplicably heavy.
Before Xiao Nuobao could react, he saw Jiazhi rolling in like a mountain eagle.
"Jiazhi...you!" Xiao Nuobao was extremely surprised, and his big round eyes suddenly became like copper bells.
It had only been two months since we last met, and the big guy in front of him had not only become as fat as a ball, but he was also wearing a mink vest, which made him look even more bloated.
Jiaji's double chins popped out when he smiled, and even the tiger tattoo on his neck "grew wild" with the fat, which gave him an inexplicable cuteness.
Xiao Nuobao was shocked and walked forward, circled around Jiaji, and poked his bulging belly, feeling how cruel "gaining weight" is in the adult world.
Perhaps it was because he was being sympathetic to his own kind, the fat on Xiao Nuobao's body also trembled, fearing that he would be disliked by his master.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you as fat as a ball!" Xiao Nuobao couldn't bear to look at it, and finally roared in a baby voice.
Jiaji smiled foolishly and touched his head, "Princess, don't blame me, the only thing that can conquer my body is the food of the Southern Kingdom!"
In the past, he had little fat on his body, which made him think he was not fat.
But he never thought that since he left the palace two months ago and headed north,
he had eaten snacks from all over the place along the way. This made him realize that there is no such thing as not getting fat no matter how much you eat. It was obvious that he had not eaten good food when he was in a foreign country before!
As soon as Jia Ji sat down, he talked nonstop, and said excitedly, "Princess, Nan Ji is really vast and rich in resources. Compared with the food here,
what I ate in Bei Wan before was simply prison food." "I have been to many places along the way, but I have had a great feast. The barbecue in Zibo City, the seafood stew in Bohai City, and the hot and spicy food with sesame sauce in the north, all made me unable to walk!"
After saying that, Jia Ji excitedly took out two smoked chickens from his arms.
As soon as the oily lotus leaves were opened, the whole attic was filled with the aroma of meat, making Xiao Nuobao drool.
"Is this roasted chicken? Where did you buy it?" The little fat girl jumped over and dipped her hand in the flavor.
Jiayi introduced excitedly, "I bought this in Pancheng, Goubangzi smoked chicken, cheap and delicious! I heard from the shopkeeper that each smoked chicken has to be boiled in old soup for an hour before being put into the oven, so it is particularly tasty!"
Xiao Nuobao's mouth was full of greed.
But when she looked up again, she saw Jiayi's fat body now, and she was so scared that she retracted her hand and dared not eat anymore.
Wow, it seems that gaining weight also depends on age.
A fat kid of a few years old is cute, but a fat kid of teens is scary.
Originally, Jiali was not handsome, but he had deep facial features and a straight figure. Now he has suddenly gained weight, and it seems that his eyes and nose are swollen, which really damages his image.
Xiao Nuobao clenched her little white teeth and decided to fill her little tummy.
It seems that she has to be restrained now, so that her fat will not snowball. When she grows up, she may not be able to lose it. However,
Jiali couldn't control himself. He quickly gnawed two chicken legs and chattered about the scenery all the way north.
But of course, he didn't forget the business that Mu Yihan gave him.
"By the way, Jiali, did you gain anything from the people's sentiments that Dad asked you to secretly investigate?" Xiao Nuobao said while chewing his hand.
Jiayi thought about what he had seen along the way, spat out the smoked chicken bones, and reported it to Nuobao first.
"There has been plenty of rain this year. In the three prefectures I visited, a total of twenty-three cities, most of the farmlands have had a good harvest, but..."
Jia Li paused, then lowered his head, "Although the harvest is good, the lives of the people in other provinces have not improved much. There are still many people who have land at home but are still hungry."
Xiao Nuobao couldn't help but get anxious, "Why is that? We have harvested so much food, we shouldn't be hungry, right?"
Jia Li shook his head and sighed, "First, a good harvest means more food, and the price of food is lower. Secondly, because of the severe drought two years ago, some places in other provinces still owe the court grain taxes, so taking advantage of this year's good harvest, local government offices have forced the people to make up for it."
As for the details of the forced collection, Jia Li didn't need to say much, Xiao Nuobao could guess it.
There are always corrupt officials who are eyeing the pockets of the people.
When collecting taxes and grains, they would tamper with the scales or be picky about the quality of the grains, and then another huge sum of money would be extorted, hanging over the heads of the people.
Xiao Nuobao wrinkled his nose, and anger welled up in his heart.
No wonder his mother and the others always said that no matter it was a good year or a bad year, the people could not escape the miserable fate.
However, this also made her more determined to manage Xiao Jiuchongtian well.
Only by making enough money.
Let Daddy's treasury be filled.
Then the people can be less taxed and have their burdens lightened.
After Jiaqi finished his job, before leaving, he started to worry about the future "food expenses".
"By the way, Princess, I'm back in Beijing now. I can't just stay at home all the time. You have to find a place for me to use my skills."
Xiao Nuobao looked at the chicken bone in his hand.
He couldn't help but shrug his shoulders.
This big foodie is afraid that he will have no work to do and no money to satisfy his appetite in the future.
But Xiao Nuobao had already made arrangements, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have already thought about your job, and you will know in a few days."
Jia Ru was relieved when he heard it, and when he went out with a smile, he didn't forget to take two roasted sweet potatoes from Wu Que.
"You! Those are for Xiao Li and Xiao Ju, what are you eating, you red-haired monster!"
Wu Que's shrill shouting spread in the Yu Garden.
...
In the following days, Jiayi went to the Jiang family water shop to make some extra money, carrying a small yellow basket to deliver milk tea.
The daily salary of 80 wen plus two cans of pearl milk tea was enough to satisfy the big family. He was the fastest deliveryman in the shop.
Little Nuobao didn't stay in the palace for too long.
After class every day, Feng Jing would accompany Feng to the palace to see his sister. Within five or six days, he finally "hooked" the little fat girl back to the mansion.
