After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 233 Mingyao Mathematics
On the side of the official road, at a small stall for resting, an elderly couple were making tea and pancakes.

The burnt aroma of the pancake wafts from far away.

Don't be fooled by the simple appearance of this place. This old couple has been running this business for decades, and they have supported their two sons in their studies for the imperial examinations with this small tea stall.

My daughter also married well.

Now is the time to enjoy life, but the two old people cannot sit still.

The small tea stall is inconspicuous, but passers-by will stop here to rest.

A young couple tied their carriage to the side of the road. The man was handsome and the woman was as beautiful as an orchid.

Judging from the carriage and their clothes, they must be the sons and daughters of wealthy families.

Tea stalls like this one are basically for poor people on the road.

Coarse tea and coarse cakes, not much flavor, but large quantity and enough to fill you up!
A copper-coin-priced plain pancake is bigger than an adult's face.

If a child or woman with a small appetite, this pancake can last a whole day!
The man said to the old man who was making tea, "Dad, give me two bowls of tea and two meat pies!"

"Okay!"

The most popular item sold at the tea stall is vegetarian pancakes. Some people also buy meat pancakes, but only a few people do it to satisfy their cravings.

A meat pie costs three copper coins and is only the size of a palm. If a child wants to be full, he can eat two!

The man took out a handkerchief and wiped the tables, chairs and benches clean before letting his wife sit down.

“The meat patties here are amazing!”

Yan Mingyao looked back at the woman who was kneading dough with skillful movements, "Sir, you are very clear about it. Isn't this your first time here too?"

Rong Lingkuan smiled and said, "Of course there is a secret book."

The notes left by his father Rong Pingyuan not only depicted the customs of the mountains and rivers, but also recorded the delicious food wherever he visited.

I even wrote down some of their favorite food recipes.

It can be regarded as a chronicle of the mountains and rivers of Daqi. Now it is prosperous. When his brother-in-law expands the territory, he will travel to the rest of the places.

The old man brought up tea and crispy meat patties, "My dear Madam, please enjoy your meal."

"Thank you, Dad." Yan Mingyao said with a smile.

The outer shell of the meat patty was baked to a golden brown, and the gravy seeped out from the layers of crispy dough. The tempting aroma of meat made the children next to them salivate.

"Dad, I want to eat too!"

The dark-skinned man pulled the child and his face darkened. It was unclear whether it was out of shame or anger. "Did you forget how I warned you when I left the house?"

Not staring and not asking for favors are what men ask of their children.

Yan Mingyao broke off half of it and handed it to the child, "Here, I'll give you half."

The child looked at the greasy pancake and then looked at his father.

He didn't dare to ask for it, "Thank you ma'am, I'm not hungry."

The lady handed the cake to him again and said, "Take it. I can't finish it either."

The child was puzzled. How could an adult not finish such a small pancake?

Mrs. Na touched her stomach with her other hand and said, "I've been suffering from a food scare lately. It's true that I can't eat much. You can take it. It can help me share the burden."

The child was confused. His parents often said, "One should be soft-hearted when one eats from someone else's food, and one should be grateful when one receives something from someone else."

It has also been said that when it is time to help, we should do our best to help.

But now, should he take it or not? Should he help or not?

"Help me."

The child looked at the smiling lady and then at his father.

"Help... or not help..."

The man was a little shy, "Thank you, ma'am."

He patted the child's butt and reminded him, "Remember to use both hands." The child immediately smiled and took the cake carefully with his two hands. He bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Madam."

Rong Lingkuan took a sip of tea. It did not have the elegant fragrance of the imperial tea in the palace. The coarse tea that cost one copper coin a bowl had a strong astringent taste at first, but after it went down his throat, it slowly became sweet.

He took a bite of the meat patty, the aroma of meat filled the air and lingered on his lips and teeth.

Yan Mingyao watched him eat, and it was rare that she didn't feel nauseous today, so she took small bites.

The minced meat was neither fishy nor woody, and had just the right amount of saltiness and fragrance. When she swallowed it together with the crispy skin, she not only did not vomit, but it also brought out the gluttony in her stomach.

Rong Lingkuan had been watching her movements, and when he saw her eyes light up, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"This cake was made by my mother when she was pregnant with me. She couldn't eat or drink, so my father took her to eat it. My mother ate three in one go!"

Yan Mingyao took a big bite of the pancake. She hadn't had a full meal for a long time.

I was so hungry, but I couldn't eat anything.

"Then this little fellow has inherited his father's greed!"

Rong Lingkuan, "That's great too, we can take him to eat all the delicious food in the world!"

After they got married, they began to follow in their father's footsteps.

More than 20 years have passed, and he found that the manuscripts left by his father have changed a little. He re-surveyed the mountains, rivers and rivers in various places, and the recorded manuscripts filled half a carriage!

Although Yan Mingyao had never been to school, she was extremely talented in calculation.

She even improved the algorithm of her predecessors and wrote a simpler algorithm.

Along the way, the two not only saw the customs of various places, but also met students from various places.

Girls' education has always been something Yan Mingyao had in her heart.

So the two planned to take advantage of the return to Beijing to have a child. She would write her own book "Mathematics", and Rong Lingkuan would update his father's manuscript and write a book "The Great Sheng Mountains and Rivers Records"

When they returned to Yanjing after stopping and starting, Yan Mingyao was about to give birth.

To date, Rong Lingkuan has been away from Beijing for five years.

Yanjing is as prosperous as ever, and a group of people are standing at the city gate, eagerly waiting.

At the age of fifteen, Qi'an is almost as tall as the guards around her. Sui'an looks like a grown-up girl, and is as beautiful as her sister when she was young.

The twelve-year-old Rong'an has become much more stable, and Fu'an is becoming more and more like her sister when she was young.

When Rong Lingkuan helped Yan Mingyao get out of the car, a group of people surrounded them.

"Uncle liar!!!"

Ji Rongan was the first to complain, "You clearly said you were going to send me some fun stuff?!"

Rong Lingkuan lifted the car curtain and said, "This car is full of good stuff!"

A few leaders looked over and saw nothing but half a cart of manuscripts.

“These are all treasures!”

When Ji Rongan was about to say what a treasure this was, his elder brother slapped him on the back of his head and said, "If you don't want to be punished by the master tomorrow, shut up now."

This was the first time Ji Qian'an met Yan Mingyao, "Nephew meets aunt."

Yan Mingyao immediately returned the greeting, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Rong Lingkuan quickly helped her up, "He peed on me a lot when he was a kid, you still deserve this gift from him."

Ji Qianan: "..." Doesn't my uncle have any dignity...

The others immediately followed, "Meet aunt."

Haitang took two steps forward and said, "Stop chatting. Madam cannot be bothered right now. Let's go back to the mansion first. Madam has already made arrangements. The imperial physician, midwife, and wet nurse are all ready. They are just waiting for you to arrive."

Just as Yan Mingyao was about to get in the car, her face changed and she held her stomach with both hands.

"It seems like she's about to give birth..."
