Chapter 1177: Chapter 1000, Mooncake Turmoil

"Mom, I also want to make mooncakes."

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, Daohua instructed the kitchen to make a lot of mooncakes, some of which were to be packaged and sent to officials in Liangdu, and some were to be sent to the soldiers in the military town.

While passing by the kitchen, Daozi saw the kitchen maids busily making mooncakes and suddenly became interested, so he ran to find Daohua.

Daohua smiled at her son: "Making mooncakes is not easy."

Daozi confidently said: "Mom, didn’t you say that the clay figures I mold look good? I can even mold clay figures, how could I possibly not make good mooncakes?"

Daohua didn’t want to raise her son as a spoiled and lazy person who can’t distinguish grains or be diligent, she had always been cultivating his ability to work with his hands. Seeing Daozi so enthusiastic now, naturally, she would not refuse.

"Mom will assign a kitchen maid to teach you, but you must not cause trouble in the kitchen, and remember, mooncakes are different from clay figures, mooncakes are made with grains and are meant to be eaten, you must not waste food."

Daozi nodded hurriedly: "I know."

After receiving Daohua’s permission, Daozi felt it was boring to do it alone, so he went and brought Xiao Moreng along to learn how to make mooncakes with him.

Xiao Moreng had never done this before; from birth till now, he had always been served hand and foot. Suddenly being pulled into a kitchen he had never been to before, he felt utterly out of place.

But seeing how Daozi quickly got the hang of kneading the dough under the guidance of the kitchen maid, in order not to lose face as an older brother, he had no choice but to stiffly dip his hands into the flour.

Nanshan Hall.

Xiao Moqing and Xiao Mokuan came as usual to pay their respects to Gu Jian, fulfilling their filial duties, and now they came to the Prince Residence daily.

They come in the morning, return in the afternoon, and have lunch at the Prince Residence with Gu Jian.

The children say they are there to accompany Gu Jian, but most of the time they are playing.

In the morning Daozi and Xiao Moreng are learning martial arts, and they play in the amusement park on their own; only in the afternoon do they gather together and mess around.

After paying their respects, Xiao Mokuan noticed that Daozi and Xiao Moreng were not around, thinking they had gone to the martial arts training ground, he said to Xiao Moqing: "I’m going to the training ground to find Fourth Brother and Daozi, do you guys want to come along?"

Having interacted more with his younger brothers recently, he has become a lot more comfortable with them, which made him temporarily forget the difference between legitimate and illegitimate status.

Xiao Moqing shook his head: "I’m going to the amusement park." Daozi’s amusement park had many toys he had never seen before, and he hadn’t had enough fun yet. Besides, martial arts training was exhausting, and he certainly didn’t want to voluntarily suffer.

Xiao Mobao loved enjoyment; his round body also showed how little he liked to move around, naturally, he was also unwilling to go to the training ground.

Xiao Moxu felt that he was still young, of course, he should go and play in the amusement park first.

Seeing that his younger brothers were unwilling, Xiao Mokuan said: "Then I’ll take you to the amusement park first, then go find Fourth Brother and Daozi."

Dongli overheard their conversation and smiled saying: "Your Highnesses, Little Prince and Fourth Prince didn’t go to the training ground, they are now in the kitchen learning to make mooncakes."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Moqing’s eyes widened in surprise: "What, Fourth Brother and Daozi are making mooncakes in the kitchen? Isn’t that something servants should do?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jian couldn’t help but say: "What’s wrong with learning to make food yourself? Now you have servants around to take care of you, naturally, you don’t need to lift a finger, but what if one day you get separated from your servants, how will you get food then?"

Hearing Gu Jian’s question, Xiao Moqing and the others fell silent.

Xiao Mokuan thought for a moment and stepped forward to reply: "Great Ancestor, then we will also go to the kitchen now and learn how to make mooncakes with Fourth Brother and Daozi."

Gu Jian hummed in response: "Although you are the sons of princes, it’s good to learn more skills. Life is full of ups and downs, who can guarantee that life will always be peaceful and prosperous?"

Every day when Xiao Moqing leaves the house, the old lady advises him to listen to Gu Jian, so upon hearing Gu Jian speak, he immediately said: "Great Ancestor, we will go now to find Fourth Brother and Daozi to learn how to make mooncakes."

Gu Jian waved his hand, and the children left the courtyard together.
