Chapter 624 This Gift is a Bit Complicated

Xinbao didn't object. After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she ran out with wet hair and refused to let anyone wipe it.

Ming Peidi was writing something at the table, so she sat directly in front of the window, crossed her arms, rested her little face on them, and looked out the window.

Emperor Mingpei looked at it several times, but the little figure remained motionless.

Emperor Mingpei put down his pen and said, "Who made Xinbao unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy." The little man didn't turn around or move, only his voice was buzzing: "Xinbao is thinking about something."

Emperor Mingpei thought that he was homesick again, so he asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you want Yeye to help you think about it?"

Tuanzi said: "I'm thinking about what gifts to bring to Daddy and Brother."

"Oh," Emperor Mingpei said, "Daddy and brother have never been here. Xinbao can choose some things that are only available here and not in the capital."

There are things that are only available here and not in the capital.

Xinbao thought for a long time, and suddenly realized it. He turned back and said, "Xinbao figured it out!!"

Emperor Mingpei nodded and said, "Then send someone to buy it."

Tuanzi nodded and shook his head, bit his fingernails for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "Yeah yeah."

"Um?"

Tuanzi said: "Xinbao suddenly realized that you missed a lesson when teaching Xinbao."

Emperor Mingpei put down his pen: "What did you miss?"

Tuanzi said: "You only taught Xinbao to let others do things and to know people and assign them to the right positions, but you didn't teach Xinbao how to know people."

Emperor Mingpei raised his eyebrows: "How do you know people?"

"Yes!" Tuanzi said, "For example, now Xinbao wants to buy gifts for his father and brother, but he doesn't know who to ask for this task, and who has the talent to do this."

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He said, "You still need to pick people for such a small matter? And talent? Anyone around you can do it! If they can't even do such a small thing, why are you keeping them for free?"

"No," Xinbao shook his hand: "This gift is a bit complicated."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "How complicated is it? Can you tell me about it?"

Xinbao said, "Then you should ask someone to come in and record it first."

Still recording? Emperor Mingpei was speechless and called Zheng Li over directly: "Record it for her."

Tuanzi began to say: "Xinbao went to get medical treatment last month and passed by a street with a sign that said "cold noodle hotpot". An auntie was cooking something inside. It seemed to be egg and flour pancakes with something stuffed inside. It smelled good and looked delicious... And when I went out with Yeye to investigate the people's sentiments, we passed by a small alley. There was an old man and an old woman in the alley, making a sour soup with dumplings in it. It tasted so good... hiss..."

Tuanzi drooled: "Let's have some snacks first, otherwise Xinbao will be unable to continue."

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He was speechless after hearing the first part, and said directly to Fang Wuyou: "Pay attention. Call Hua Shi and Xuan'er over. Wait, call Xue Xuanji over as well, and Feng Ting."

Tuanzi was a little embarrassed: "Why did you call so many people?"

Emperor Mingpei said, "You can't remember the exact time and street. Should we find a few more people to help you figure it out?"

Seeing that his little granddaughter's hair was still loose, he waved and called her over. Fang Wuyou tentatively handed her a comb, and Emperor Mingpei slowly combed his granddaughter's hair.

Fang Wuyou was secretly shocked.

This grandfather, with his sons and grandsons, has combed his hair so many times in his life that he can't count them on one hand. Now, he is combing his little granddaughter's hair! ! Tuanzi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She sat on the kang, ate snacks, and let Yeye comb her hair.

Several people arrived soon.

Xue Xuanji was writing the case record of his last practice. He was rarely summoned and was a little confused when he was summoned.

The others had just come back and changed their clothes. They came over together and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Xinbao didn't mind getting bored and started over from the beginning: "Xinbao went to see a doctor last month..."

Then everyone started to guess based on her story...

Fortunately, Xue Xuanji walked the streets every day and was very familiar with the streets and people everywhere. Hao Huashi was also a walking map. Yuan Shenjue and Wei Fengting were also well-informed and had good memory. They quickly added details and soon remembered the street names and even the shop names.

When he remembered one, Tuanzi would go on to talk about the second one.

I've said five and I'm still talking!!

Even Yuan Shenjue was amused. For some of them, he didn't even know when she remembered them.

While speaking, Emperor Mingpei was working hard to comb his granddaughter's hair.

He had never done this job before and thought it should be very simple, but once he started, he found that it was not the case.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The hair was so soft and thin that he didn't dare to use any force. He didn't know how to braid it, so he tried several times but failed.

But Emperor Mingpei was unwilling to admit defeat. He always felt that it was such a small matter, how could he not do it well?

So I kept working hard.

In the end, Xinbao mentioned seven places in total, but only five of them could be considered to have local specialty snacks.

Hao Huashi said: "Master, do you mean to buy these houses and bring them back to Beijing?"

"No," Xinbao said, "What if they are not... not very clean? Xinbao wants to send the imperial chef to learn, but I wonder if they are willing to teach? It's all my wife's fault. She told Xinbao too late. If she had told him earlier, she could have sent someone to learn earlier."

Hao Huashi smiled and said, "Master, Xuanji and I will do this for you. There's still time. These snacks are easy to learn."

Xinbao nodded: "Okay then."

Fang Wuyou came over to ask: "Your Majesty, is it time to serve the meal?"

Emperor Mingpei hummed and continued to mess with Tuanzi's hair. He didn't hurt her, but for some reason, he couldn't twist her hair into a bun no matter how hard he tried. Emperor Mingpei was sweating.

Finally, Yuan Shenjue said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me come?"

Emperor Mingpei did not answer.

Hao Huashi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can just get a belt to tie Master up for a while. It's late at night and I'm not going out. No one will see me even if I tie it up so nicely."

Emperor Mingpei glanced at him with a half-smile, knowing what was going on.

But worried that her granddaughter might be hungry, she walked down the stairs and said, "Okay."

So Tuanzi got a messy low ponytail, and her hair was tied up with fuzzy edges by Yeye.

Emperor Mingpei remained calm on the surface. After Tuanzi left, he called several palace maids over and asked one of them to tie up the hair of another one. He then walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, watching seriously.

After looking it over and over twice, he nodded and told them to go.

Then the next morning, Tuanzi was forced to wash her hair again and was brought to Yeye with her hair loose again.

Ming Peidi stretched out his hand very calmly and naturally, and tied up Tuanzi's hair into two small buns. He succeeded at once, and the hair turned out quite beautiful.

Fang Wuyou saw it and admired him secretly. Tell me, after all, he is the emperor, so he can learn things quickly!
