Seeing that Duanmu Rui was unhappy these few days, the Ninth Prince took out the gift he was going to give Duanmu Rui on the day of housewarming in advance.

"What's this?" Duanmu Rui looked at the carved sandalwood box wrapped in brocade in front of him and didn't dare to touch it.

"Open it and have a look!" The Ninth Prince happily ran around the room carrying Zhenzhen on his shoulders, and had no time to talk to Duanmu Rui who was dazed by the table.

Zhenzhen kept urging the Ninth Prince to continue to fly high for him, absolutely not letting their chatting waste time!

The Ninth Prince flew out of breath, but Duanmu Rui was still looking at the box.

In the end, the Ninth Prince finally couldn't bear to put Zhenzhen on the table, pointed to the box and signaled to Zhenzhen, "Go and help daddy to open that box!"

I really seemed to understand it. I picked up the box after climbing a few steps and started to ponder.

I really figured it out after going back and forth, and the box was really opened with a "click".

There were three things inside, Zhen Zhen picked them up and held them in front of his eyes, shaking them back and forth to explore.

I felt that I had never seen this thing before, so I grabbed it in my hand and put it in my mouth to bite.

Seeing this, Duanmu Rui finally rushed over worriedly, snatched the three ornaments from He Zhenzhen's hands, and put them aside, "Put everything in your mouth! Next time, hit your mouth!"

He really felt that he had been robbed of his toys and had been taught a lesson. Tears of grievance burst out immediately, and he pursed his lips at the Ninth Prince, intending to cry.

Duanmu Rui took out the maltose he bought on the way back from work in time, it was a very small bowl with a few sticks.

Gently pick the stick from the small wooden bowl, then turn the stick, and a malt lollipop comes out.

When Zhenzhen saw it, the corners of his mouth immediately salivated, and he stopped beeping at the Ninth Prince, and even lost interest in the three green things.

He sat down around the bowl of maltose and began to pick and eat bit by bit.

"This is..." Duanmu Rui finally had time to focus on these three pendants again. These three pendants are different, one of which looks like a lion, the other looks like a turtle, and the third is really flat A waist plate with fine carving and whitish color.

"That's the waist card. It's for you. The other two will be given to the little ones after they are born. You will keep them for them first. These three are bestowed by Fifth Brother, so you must keep them well!"

"Why do you want to give such an expensive thing?" Even a layman can look at the jade in amazement, "It's a gift from the emperor... I can't ask for it!"

The Ninth Prince smiled, "Hurry up and put it away, I'm the emperor to choose a few to give away, you must know that any treasure in the palace is extremely expensive if it is kept among the people, so you must hide it well!"

Duanmu Rui touched the tortoise and lion with shaking hands, "Really can't return the goods?"

"There is no reason to return the goods. The emperor never bestows Suan Ni and Bi Xi casually. Put them away quickly, so as to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety. It is absolutely useful."

Duanmu Rui looked at the two lively dragons, and was so shocked by Duanmu Rui's news that he didn't know what to say.

"Why would the emperor give this? I'm just a commoner!" Duanmu Rui felt that the jade pendant in his hand was really hot.

"He is thanking you for giving him a big worry! I never liked children, and my fifth brother and my mother have worried about this a lot!" The Ninth Prince hugged Zhenzhen again, "When they heard that they had Zhenzhen, There will be two more soon, and I will give these away as soon as I am happy."

"Is this waist card too?" Duanmu Rui asked.

This whitish jade-colored waist plate is round and smooth, with an even color like water droplets, especially the intricate carvings on it, making Duanmu Rui reluctant to let go of it after seeing it.

"The waist card was mine before. I asked the owner of the jade shop I know to change it for me, and it became like this! Not long ago, the people in the backyard scattered all their belongings. They were about to give you something but couldn't get it for a while. Don't be disgusted." The Ninth Prince looked at Duanmu Rui rubbing his waist badge with some anxiety.

However, Duanmu Rui didn't dislike him at all because he was a second-hand one. On the contrary, because he was an old one, his heart was very full.

After receiving an expensive gift, Duanmu Rui always wanted to give something back.

But I couldn't figure it out, so I went to ask Boss Fang.

"Gifts don't matter how expensive or cheap it is, it all depends on the heart. For Jiudi, if you make a bowl of dumplings and serve him there, you will be happier than giving him a hundred taels of silver!" Boss Fang was eating dumplings, just casually Come.

But Duanmu Rui listened in his heart, he began to think about the feasibility of making dumplings by himself.

Since the storage time is a problem, the last thing Duanmu Rui can think of is that he packed it early in the morning and sent it to the kitchen of the Ninth Prince's Mansion to cook it, so that the Ninth Prince can eat it.

But Duanmu Rui is not good at cooking at all, and he doesn't even know how to roll dumpling wrappers with a rolling pin.

So he simply went to the market and found an old lady who sold noodles, gave him silver and ordered him to deliver the rolled dumpling wrappers to his inn room in two days, and the meat must also be prepared. It must not be too late.

The old woman was so excited that she was holding a silver coin in her hand. She usually worked so hard to sell it for a day that she might not be able to get a whole coin.

Sure enough, the old lady was very punctual, so she pried open Duanmu Rui's door early that morning, and not only brought dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings, but also a homemade box for a sedan chair.

Duanmu Rui thanked him, and began to fight against the dumpling.

Have you ever eaten dumplings without making dumplings?Duanmu Rui put the meat stuffing in the middle, folded the dumpling wrapper in half, and an ugly and deadly dumpling lay there.

Duanmu Rui couldn't care so much, after wrapping up, he carried Zhenzhen to the Nine Princes' Mansion first.

If this person can't be brainless, how could Duanmu Rui stop visiting the Nine Princes Mansion just because Xiaojue came back?

It's perfectly fine to take a walk around the door!

Yesterday, the Ninth Prince had no time to go to the inn to accompany Duanmu Rui because he wanted to meet the important officials in the court to discuss the war.

He walked on this familiar path, instead of rushing to the Ninth Prince's bedroom, he went to the kitchen first.

He ordered the servants to cook the dumplings, and he waited beside him.

Not long after, the smell of the dumplings wafted out, Duanmu Rui swallowed hard a few times.

"The dumplings made by the son are really delicious!" The mother-in-law who cooked the rice sighed, "It's better than the ones in our house!"

Duanmu Rui smiled and said nothing, he didn't do anything except his hands.

After cooking, Duanmu Rui followed the Ninth Prince's instructions and personally brought a bowl to the Ninth Prince's room.

Walking through the winding path, Duanmu Rui was about to knock on the door.

Suddenly a figure made Duanmu Rui hide behind the bushes.

That person was not tall, and he looked more like an old man, but in fact, that person was flexible in his behavior, and he felt very athletic no matter how he looked at it.

Duanmu Rui didn't know why his heart started to beat wildly when he saw that person. It wasn't the jumping of joy when he met the old man, but full of fear.

The man walked forward, Duanmu Rui hid behind the tree and did not dare to say a word.

After walking about twenty steps, the man turned around and looked in the direction of the bedroom door.

This meeting made Duanmu Rui's mind blank for a moment.

The man was slightly hunchbacked, not tall, especially his weather-beaten eyes, and the ear with a big gap beside him.

That ear... Duanmu Rui frowned, he felt that ear looked very familiar.

The hunchback took a look and then turned to leave. Duanmu Rui didn't come out from behind the tree until the bowl of dumplings was almost soaked.

No matter how he thought about that open ear, he felt suspicious, but Duanmu Rui couldn't remember why he looked familiar, so he planned to talk to the Ninth Prince.

He brazenly brought the dumplings in, and the Ninth Prince had already dressed and sat at the table, "Why did Ruier come so early?" When the Ninth Prince saw that it was Duanmu Rui who came in, the surprised look was beyond description .

"I personally made a bowl of dumplings for you in the morning. I borrowed them from the kitchen of the Nine Princes Mansion to cook them. They seem to be soaked. A little bit of love, don't make jokes..."

Looking at the rising sun and the soup in the bowl, Duanmu Rui had no choice but to be thick-skinned.

"Why are you making a joke!" The Ninth Prince pulled Duanmu Rui over to sit beside him, "Rui'er can make dumplings for me, I'm so touched that I can't speak, why laugh!"

"The bag is really out of sight!" Duanmu Rui said.

Ninth Prince laughed, scooped up a spoonful of dumpling soup and passed it to Duanmu Rui's mouth, "Come on, drink some soup after being tired all morning."

Duanmu Rui drank it.

"Is this to feel the waist badge I gave you?" Ninth Prince buried his head and began to eat the dumplings in front of him.

After a while, the bowl was half full.

"Hmm...well..." Duanmu Rui was thinking about how to say something, "Wang Ya, you seem to be very busy, and you have been discussing things yesterday?"

"Yeah!" He nodded, and swallowed two more after eating, "I talked all day yesterday, and I didn't sleep for a few hours. Someone came over early in the morning, it's terrible."

Duanmu Rui was thinking about the identity of that person, but unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince continued, "Not only the court minister urged me to die, but even the boss of the firm did not let me go."

"Why is that? You owe money or not?" Duanmu Rui asked.

"Didn't I use my waist badge to repolish a waist badge for you a few days ago?" The Ninth Prince said, "It was made by the owner of the jade shop that I knew well, oh yes, the jade ornaments that were given back to the Queen Mother as a betrothal gift are also the same. I asked him to do it, and this guy is one of the best! I didn’t know what was going on, and I agreed to pay the money in a few days, but I came here early this morning to collect the debt!”

Duanmu Rui's hands tightened when he said the owner of the jade shop. He seemed to have thought of something, but it was not very clear. He said calmly, "I didn't have the chance to see the betrothal gift. It's just the carver of the waist card. What a coincidence." There is nothing to say, if he is ranked second in the whole of Shangjing, no one would dare to say that he is number one."

Duanmurui said so, but the Ninth Prince was suddenly reluctant to continue talking about the owner of the jade shop.

"Let's not talk about him, let's talk about how you made these dumplings first? Alone in the inn? The shape of the skin looks like it was made by an old hand, and the taste of the stuffing also looks like an old hand. Dumplings look like newbies."

Ninth Prince rubbed his chin, "What's going on?"

Duanmu Rui's heart suddenly turned cold, if the Ninth Prince didn't change the subject, he would rather believe it was a coincidence, but the Ninth Prince changed the subject, Duanmu Rui had to doubt something.

He pretended to be embarrassed, "Actually, I bought the ingredients from an old woman who made pasta. Otherwise, how would I do these things in the inn? Oh, by the way, you eat slowly, I will go to Fangfu to do something quickly, and the bowl will be placed here. I'll pick it up tonight."

"I'll send it to you!" Ninth Prince said, "I'll pick you up when it's time for you to leave work."

Duanmu Rui shook his head, "No need, I want to do some private matters today, so you can help me to sleep on my pillow at night."

After bidding farewell to the Ninth Prince, Duanmu Rui left the Ninth Prince's Mansion, but instead of returning to Fang's Mansion, he turned a corner and walked towards the famous Jade Artifact Street.

The boss can hide everything, and the storefront must be so low-key that there are no obvious signs hidden in the middle of all the stores.
