Xie Songhua thought he heard wrongly and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
Xiao Yu said in a very normal tone: "There are only two of us in the house, and it's not easy to take your parents over. It's better to celebrate the New Year here."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to have just remembered, and turned to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, "Is it inconvenient?"
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother were stunned, but Jiang's mother reacted first and said quickly: "Why is it inconvenient? It's just... I'm just afraid that the prince won't be used to our crude food."
"I am not picky."
"Okay, okay," Jiang's mother couldn't hide the smile on her face, "I'll get ready right now."
Xie Songhua was really surprised. While his parents were busy with their work, he quickly pulled him aside and asked, "Are you serious?"
This question is nonsense, Xiao Yu never jokes.
"Isn't this... too unruly?"
"I don't really care about that."
Xiao Yu's reaction was very dull. If he thought about it carefully, he really didn't seem to care much about these so-called etiquette people.
Thinking about what he said again, the Chinese New Year in previous years was the same as usual, maybe...
Will celebrating the New Year here be more festive?
Seeing that although she had some doubts on her face, she had obviously accepted it, Xiao Yu called Baiyue over, "Tell someone to help me buy something, you..."
His eyes fell on Father Jiang who was preparing to chop firewood over there, "Go and chop firewood!"
Baiyue:……
He was really shocked.
Even though he acts as a guard in front of the prince every day, he is a serious court official with the rank of third-grade general!
He took another look at Jiang's father over there, and after realizing that his prince didn't mean to joke, he resigned himself to his fate.
Jiang's father was really frightened when he saw such a tall and thick man with a sword coming to help him chop wood. "No, no, no, these common people can come."
But Baiyue was very rude and dodged the ax, "What are you talking about!"
Then he split a tree stump very neatly.
Xie Songhua couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, just let him come! Have a good New Year today, no one can be idle!"
Xie Songhua said and rolled up his sleeves, "I'll go help my mother in the kitchen."
He and Xiao Yu were the only ones going out today, so they deliberately didn't wear those complicated clothes and simply took Jiang Mu's apron and tied it on.
Jiang's mother originally thought that her daughter's status was different now and she could no longer do such menial work. However, looking at her appearance, she recalled in her heart the scene where mother and daughter cooked the New Year's Eve dinner together during the Chinese New Year in Qingshui Town. How could she bear it?
What I want to say in my heart is still the same as before.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Jiang's father went to open the door, but there was no one there. He only saw a pile of ingredients placed outside, including chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables that were rare to see during this season. They were placed on the stone slab at the door.
At first glance, it was what Baiyue ordered the secret guards to do just now.
Xie Songhua found it a little funny to think that the secret guard who was usually responsible for Xiao Yu's safety had turned into a blue knight today.
After a casual explanation, Jiang's father took the recent one.
Kneading rice cake dough is a laborious job. In previous years, Xie Songhua and Jiang Mu worked together to knead it.
At this moment Xiao Yu walked in.
The kitchen was already a little narrow, and he was tall. As soon as he entered, it immediately seemed a little cramped.
Jiang's mother also seemed a little restrained.
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, looked as usual, "What should I do?"
"You?" Xie Songhua's hand was still sticky with rice cake powder, and he raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Didn't you just say that everyone has to work?"
"No, no!" Jiang's mother immediately waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, just sit and wait. By the way, will it be cold? I'm afraid that Your Majesty might think the kang is unclean, so I'll ask Yao Niang and her father to light a brazier.
!”
As he said this, he thought that there was no good tea at home for entertaining distinguished guests, and he became even more embarrassed.
Xie Songhua felt distressed and moved when he saw his mother like this.
After all, it was because she was afraid of being looked down upon by her uncle and damaging her impression in his heart that her mother was so nervous.
She was about to say something to Jiang's mother when she heard Xiao Yu say: "Idle time is idle, let's see if there is anything I can do to help!"
Jiang's mother was still hesitating, but Xie Songhua was unceremonious, "Otherwise, how about you take care of those dishes?"
Xiao Yu glanced at it, then nodded, "Okay!"
Xie Songhua then commanded, "Take that basin and go to the well to deal with it."
Xiao Yu didn't even frown and walked over with his things.
Jiang's mother was full of disapproval, but Xie Songhua gave her a comforting look, "Your Majesty is not such a delicate person."
Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, he heard Xiao Yu's voice coming from outside, "How should we deal with it?"
"But it's true that he hasn't done it."
Seeing her daughter's natural expression, Jiang's mother suppressed her uneasiness and said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of things there, how about you go and help me?"
Xie Songhua looked around the room, nodded and said, "That's OK."
Xiao Yu filled a basin of water and frowned at the pile of ingredients, obviously not knowing where to start.
In fact, Xie Songhua has never handled these chickens, ducks and fish.
But I had seen the staff handling it at the market in my previous life, not to mention that the original owner had also done these jobs.
"The water is boiling in the stove. You need to use boiling water to remove feathers from chickens and ducks. Let's handle the fish and vegetables first!"
Then she turned around and went into the kitchen, took out a few baskets and a kitchen knife, handed the kitchen knife to Xiao Yu, and commanded him to do things in a decent manner.
Tsk, otherwise how could it be said that good-looking people have an advantage!
With his looks, body and temperament, if he were born in later generations, even if it was just a daily live broadcast, he would probably be able to fascinate the little sister in front of the screen.
The somewhat bloody work of killing fish and removing scales was done with a certain elegance in his hands.
She suddenly thought, wondering if this person was so calm and unhurried when he was killing people or using torture in Zhao Prison?
Xie Songhua was thinking wildly while choosing dishes.
By the time Xiao Yu had finished handling the fish, the water in the house was boiled.
Although this person had never done anything similar before, smart people learn everything quickly. She just explained the basics once and he did it perfectly.
Baiyue, who was chopping wood, was completely balanced.
Even their prince is working, so what does it mean for him to chop firewood!
Father Jiang completely calmed down from his initial panic.
Just seeing how his daughter got along with the prince's husband-in-law, he felt completely relieved.
It seems that the prince does not dislike his daughter's background.
Thinking about Jiang's father, he is a little proud. His beautiful girl is the best girl in the world. As long as others know a little bit about her, they will definitely like her.
The old man walked around in and out and found that there was no work to be done, so he simply moved to Xie Songhua's inner courtyard.
Lan Qi got a lot of scary things again, but he studied with Lan Qi for a long time and took care of them very easily. Now he has completely mastered the essentials, but he has to take care of them longer.
The daughter said that these things are very important and cost a lot of money to buy them. He has to help her take care of them!
Although Jiang's mother was busy working in the house, she was also focused on a young couple outside.
As a mother, isn't the most important thing you care about is whether your children are doing well?
When a girl is born, she naturally hopes that her uncle will treat her well.
After listening to it for a while, I felt completely relieved, but I also regretted that I was incapable of giving anything to my uncle so that I could save face for my daughter.
So after seeing them finish processing the pile of ingredients, when Xie Songhua asked Xiao Yu to help light the fire, Jiang's mother refused to agree anyway, "How can you let the prince do such a thing! There aren't many things left now, or
