Since Xiao Rui had transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty, this was the first time he had come into contact with the legendary imperial edict. He shouted excitedly,"Xiao Rui, accept the decree."
Fang Xuanling unfolded the imperial edict and read it out loud." In accordance with Heaven's will, the Emperor issued an edict saying: Xiao Rui is a brave and intelligent man. He first won the battle to save the face of the Great Tang, and then offered a plan to distract the Jie Li army and eliminate the disaster of the Great Tang army. It is a great fortune for our dynasty to have a son like Xiao Rui in the Tang Dynasty. Xiao Rui's various achievements, special seal Leping County Hou, Shiyi 1,000 households; He was given two taels of gold and white to show his achievements. I hope you will work hard to serve the country, do not be biased, respect this.”
Xiao Rui immediately received the edict,"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."”
Fang Xuanling helped Xiao Rui up and said with a pleasant expression,"Xiao Rui, oh no, Marquis Xiao, the Emperor thinks highly of you. If it weren't for your young age and lack of experience, the Emperor would have made you the Minister of War. You have to do your part well. You can't be careless. I have a niece who has a good figure. Why don't…"
Fang Xuanling winked at Xiao Rui, making him blush. He quickly said,"Lord Fang must be joking. I was only joking just now, don't take it seriously.”
Seeing that his good-for-nothing son had actually been conferred a title of nobility, Xiao Yu was so happy that he quickly pulled Fang Xuanling back and insisted on treating him to a good meal.
"Lord Xiao is too polite. Your son's future is limitless. He might even be able to become the prime minister.”
"Haha, no, no. My son's aptitude is mediocre. I hope Lord Fang will nurture him in the future. I've wanted a grandchild for a long time, Lord Fang…"
"Alright, alright…"
The two of them didn't pay any attention to the stunned Xiao Rui behind them and walked away, one after another.
Chai Zhewei and Cheng Chumo patted the absent-minded Xiao Rui and said pretentiously,"I, Chai Zhewei, and Cheng Chumo pay their respects to Lord Marquis!”
Xiao Rui kicked them one by one, clapped his hands and said,""You guys sit here properly. I'll cook one or two dishes for you guys.”
Chai Zhewei and Cheng Chumo were slightly stunned at first, then they suddenly bent down and laughed."This is a miracle in the world. Our Eldest Young Master Xiao actually knows how to cook. Zhewei, do you believe it?”
Chai Zhewei laughed until his face was flushed red. He shook his head like a rattle-drum and said,"He can cook just like your father can embroider. It's absolutely impossible!”
Xiao Rui was so angry that he laughed. He couldn't be bothered with these two people and turned around to walk into the kitchen.
"Hmph, you two, I'll make you beg and kneel later before I let you eat my delicious food.”
……
The delicacies that Xiao Rui was talking about were, of course, the potatoes that he had always had in his previous meals.
Xiao Rui hadn't had a good meal in the four days since he had crossed over to the Great Tang. Today, he had to eat a few big bowls.
Xiao Rui washed the potatoes, cut the vegetables, started a fire to boil water, stir-fried the vegetables, and packed them. He was very skilled.
In less than ten minutes, Xiao Rui placed a bowl of fragrant stir-fried meat with shredded potatoes in front of Chai Zhewei and Cheng Chumo.
The two of them, who had their legs crossed and were ready to watch Xiao Rui make a fool of himself, smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen before Xiao Rui came out of the kitchen. Their stomachs began to rumble.
"Zhewei, what do you think that brat Xiao Rui is cooking? Why had he never smelled this smell before?”
"It refreshes the heart and refreshes the mind, making people's stomachs open when they smell it. This kid has really broadened my horizons these two days!”
"That's right. Other than eating, drinking, and having fun, he doesn't know anything. Now, he can even cook. Could it be that there's a chef inside? Otherwise, why would he close the door and not let us in?
When they saw a plate of golden dishes placed in front of them, Chai Zhewei said hypocritically,"Hey, what the hell is this? It looks disgusting. However, since it's Xiao Chest's first time cooking, I'll give you some face. You're a local crab eater.”
He picked up his chopsticks and put some into his mouth. He frowned and said,"Pah, what the hell are you cooking!”
After saying that, he picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and then criticized,"Even a dog doesn't want to eat your vegetables."
Xiao Rui crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Chai Zhewei's clumsy acting with trembling legs. Even a fool could tell that he was lying. Otherwise, why would half a plate of potatoes be gone in less than a minute?
Seeing Cheng Chumo looking at him with disdain, Xiao Rui sighed and said,"Chumo, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? If my food tastes bad, why is Zhewei eating it so happily?”
Cheng Chumo quickly grabbed the plate and licked the last bit of potato. He was obviously not satisfied and said flatteringly,"Brat, are there any more?"
Xiao Rui and the other two didn't notice that many people had suddenly appeared around them, including Xiao Yu and Fang Xuanling, who were holding chopsticks.
