The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

"How did you come?"

After sitting down, Tong Huaqiong ordered someone to bring hot tea to the prince.

Chen Sufen personally brought the hot tea to the prince, and looked at him with a loving face as he drank a few sips. Then she carefully untied the big sweater covering the prince, and gave him a small hand warmer.

The crown prince laughed and said, "There are no dumplings in the palace. I want to eat the dumplings made by my grandmother and mother, so I asked the emperor to leave the palace."

The emperor is ill, and the concubines and princes all have their own thoughts. There is almost no family affection in the royal family. I guess the prince will not enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

Chen Sufen asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

The crown prince said, "I'll just eat dumplings."

Tong Huaqiong said, "Okay, let's eat dumplings then."

After that, everyone started making dumplings.

"I'll make some too." The prince picked up the dumpling wrappers.

Tong Huaqiong said, "Little darling, just wait and eat."

The crown prince doesn't know how to make dumplings at all and is just causing more trouble.

"No, I want it wrapped." The prince was very stubborn.

Man'er pulled the prince's hand and said, "You're not wrapping it right. Let me teach you."

The two children put their heads together, one teaching the other. Maner would occasionally scold the prince as a stupid pig, but the prince was not annoyed at all and just kept laughing.

Gu Dahan finally let go of the heart that had been in his throat.

He was afraid that Man'er would anger the Crown Prince, and if the Crown Prince got angry, it would cause trouble for her.

After what happened that night, he discovered that the prince was still the same little dragon.

Liu Tiechui and Liu Shan have not seen the Crown Prince since he left Qinghe Bay.

It is likely that the Crown Prince was protected after his identity was revealed and before he was welcomed back to Shengjing, so outsiders could not see him at all.

The father and son were very curious about Xiaolong who had become the crown prince, and they kept looking at him while making dumplings.

People in Qinghe Bay spread the rumor that the old emperor welcomed back the crown prince and intended to pass the throne to him.

Liu Tiechui really wanted to ask whether this was true or false, but he swallowed the words back several times when they came to his lips.

The crown prince raised his head and smiled at Liu Tiechui, saying, "Grandpa Liu, are your old cold legs healed? Tomorrow I'll have the imperial physician send you some plasters for your old cold legs."

Liu Tiechui's heart started pounding because of the crown prince's unexpected concern.

When I realized what was happening, tears started streaming down my face.

Liu Tiechui said excitedly: "Xiaolong... no, Your Highness, you still remember my old cold legs, this is really... really..."

Liu Tiechui didn't say anything else, tears streaming down his face.

This is a blessing earned through several lifetimes, to be remembered by the Crown Prince.

Zhao was also wiping away tears with excitement.

Tong Huaqiong: “…”

With everyone's concerted efforts, the dumplings were wrapped quickly.

Su Chengmin picked up the curtain and carried it to the kitchen.

Gu Dashu and Gu Jingzhe go to make dumplings, while Gu Dahan starts to light a fire.

The maids and servants in the kitchen were driven out, and they were happy to have some free time.

No matter whether he is the crown prince or the commander of the imperial guard, anyone who comes to Tong Huaqiong's house has to work.

Fan Tong felt a bit out of place sitting among the group. He was taught that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so he had never cooked at home, let alone such a difficult task as making dumplings.

In the Fan family, cooking is a woman's job, and for a man to cook is considered a sign of incompetence.

Why is it that at the Gu family's house, it's the men who are doing the work?

Liu Tiechui and Liu Shan began to clear the table, clean up the battlefield for making dumplings, and send the dough basin to the kitchen. Su Fuzi and He Chao followed them to the kitchen to wait for the dumplings to be served.

Tong Huaqiong wiped her hands, and everyone sat together drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and chatting, waiting for the dumplings to be served.

Fan Tong felt a little uncomfortable sitting among a group of women.

He wanted to stand up and go to the kitchen, but he didn't know what to do there, and his butt was stuck to the chair, feeling very uncomfortable.

Zhao said to Fan Tong quickly, "Everyone was making dumplings just now, even the Crown Prince was making them, but Mr. Fan didn't make any."

Fan Tong said: "I have never made dumplings at home before. I don't know how to make them and I'm afraid of wasting the dough and stuffing."

Liu Yue'e sneered and said, "No one is born with the ability. Everyone learns it. Don't you make dumplings together during the New Year?"

In the Gu family, even in the past when Tong Dajiao was around, the men of the Gu family had to work in the kitchen.

The same is true for the Liu family.

Fan Tong got anxious and said, "My mother and sister-in-law don't let me cook. Only men with no future cook."

After he said this, he regretted it so much that he wanted to bite his tongue.

Tong Huaqiong and others turned to look at Fan Tong.

Gu Honglian was embarrassed, feeling that Fan Tong was slapping her in the face. She was the first to sarcastically say, "Come on, forget it. Only men who have no ambition cook. If you don't cook, you will fail the imperial examination three times. On the other hand, my three nephews have been cooking since they were young. The cotton cultivated by Dahan was praised by the prefect, Dashu has his own shop, and Jingzhe was the champion of the provincial examination. Which one of them is unpromising? Oh, by the way, only Gu Ruinian is unpromising. Like you, he never cooked since he was a child. There is only one reason why he doesn't cook: laziness."

Fan Tong's face turned red when Gu Honglian said that in public.

He didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Tong Huaqiong.

Gu Honglian became more and more angry as she spoke, and she had no intention of letting Fan Tong go. Her hands were rough from working in the Fan family, but Fan Tong did no work at all. She said that it was unmanly for a man to cook, and that a man should make achievements in his career.

It turns out that cooking for my nephew doesn't prevent me from making achievements.

The Fan family, a poor family, would be very particular.

Now that she is in Shengjing and has left the Fan family, she doesn't want to work anymore. Fan Tong must survive.

"You should learn from my nephews. A man who cooks doesn't stop him from being successful. The more unsuccessful a man is, the more likely he is to do nothing when he gets home."

Gu Honglian said this as she chased Fan Tong to the kitchen to bring dumplings.

Fan Tong was forced to go to the kitchen.

When he arrived at the kitchen, no one paid any attention to him.

Gu Jingzhe cooked the dumplings and served a bowl. Master Su took it. Fan Tong wanted to please Master Su and insisted on taking the dumplings from him.

"Master, I'm coming."

"no, I'm fine."

"Master, let me be your disciple."

Fan Tong took the dumplings from Master Su, and just as he turned around, he tripped over the threshold. His hand was unstable, and the plate flew out of his hand, and the dumplings were scattered on the snow.

Master Su sighed and said, "I told you to come alone, but you insisted on coming."

Gu Dashu said coldly: "My uncle is so used to holding a pen that he can't even hold a bowl."

Fan Tong gritted his teeth in anger, feeling that Gu Dashu was mocking him.

Tong Huaqiong and others heard the noise and saw through the window that Fan Tong had scattered the dumplings all over the floor.

Gu Honglian felt more and more that Fan Tong had embarrassed her in front of her family, and rushed out to scold her: "Fan Tong, you are not good at studying, you are not good at working, you can only serve dumplings, you are really useless."

Gu Honglian's curses penetrated the yard and were particularly harsh in the dark night.

Tong Huaqiong thought about how Gu Honglian used to feel incredibly inferior to Fan Tong, chasing after and praising her. Less than a year into their marriage, that filter had been shattered, and now Gu Honglian was ready to curse Fan Tong whenever she pleased.

"It's just a plate of dumplings, and you're holding on to such a small thing."

Fan Tong was so embarrassed by Gu Honglian's scolding that he couldn't help but fight back.

Fan Tong was so useless in front of her sister-in-law and nephew, and even dared to fight back against her. Gu Honglian was embarrassed.
