Chapter 982: Soak in a hot spring
The winter solstice is a big day in winter, to worship the ancestors, but also to say that it is time to prepare for the New Year, so the women's warm soup will be set on the third day after the winter solstice, go out to play for a few days, take care of the spirit, and only after coming back can you have the energy to devote yourself to tedious housework.
Bai Ko wants to go out to play, the natural business is in charge of Gu Yun alone, the vegetable planting on the side of the greenhouse has progressed smoothly in the past ten days, and the farmer himself invited used to make a living by planting and selling vegetables in Xile Fang, until Gu Yun came to buy a large vacant land to build a factory, giving the people a new source of livelihood to let them say goodbye to the days of shaving in the soil, fast-growing vegetables from the hot areas of the south are some special planting conditions in the climate of the capital, in the hands of these experienced old vegetable farmers, there is written guidance, After a few times, I figured out the main point, and the first batch of vegetables on the market was ready to be picked.
The matter of growing vegetables in the greenhouse was not deliberately concealed at all, and the household officials who came to fight the autumn breeze at two ends in three days looked at the green vegetables in the planting box through the glass, and their saliva was about to flow down, and as soon as they went back, the current head of the imperial kitchen came to the field investigation upside down, and he wanted to cover all the rounds with one mouth, and the population of the harem, the dishes grown in the greenhouse were not enough to eat, and the Qingwang Gongheng, who provided the vegetables, heard that he was also called into the palace and was praised by the saint.
Now the magnates in the capital know that Gu Yun's workshop has fresh vegetables, and they are gearing up to grab vegetables from the head chef to eat, so how to sell vegetables without offending people, this is a test that Bai Ko deliberately threw to Gu Yun, she patted her buttocks, packed her luggage, and took Xiao Yezi to the hot spring.
Ning Peilan is naturally in Bai Ko's car, they want to go out of the city, Bai Ko's carriage was borrowed by Gu Yun last time to pay tribute to his grandfather, Lao Cui came back and said that it is still stable to walk the official road in the wilderness, since there is a stable carriage to sit on, why bother to sit in his own car and shake all the way uncomfortable, so the carriage of the dignified princess has become a luggage puller, and the carriage of the accompanying people followed a long string behind.
According to the agreement, everyone who participated in the Wentang meeting gathered outside the South City Gate, Ning Peilan made an appointment with Mrs. Gu to set off together, Bai Ko called Aunt Rong and Hui Hua to get into her car, there were just four people in the car, and Mrs. Gu asked Yu Ju and her niece to sit in her car, and the two cars loaded them with the main personnel, and there were many people accompanying them.
They set off, and the second lady Gu learned that her two concubines were invited by the county lord of Jingyun to go to the royal warm soup to relax, she knew where the third concubine was qualified to join in this fun, and it was not the eldest concubine who called her easily, and they only moved after the spring of the third room, and they can still get a share of what is good in the house, and the second room that she moved out early is no good.
The more she thought about it, the more angry Mrs. Gu sat in the room and slapped the table and scolded, and everyone was holding their breath, and no one told Grandma for a while, but even if Gan knew about it, she wouldn't pay attention to it, and she did her own thing, what did she have to do with her.
When the carriage arrived outside the city, the convoy of the county lord of Jingyun was already there, she was the convener of the Wentang Society, and as the host, she greeted every guest who rushed to the meeting place, and the guests all got off the car to return the salute.
As far as the eye can see, the carriages of the ladies of the powerful families are decorated with status and class, and among the invited guests, only Bai Ko and Painted are civilians, and her carriage is a plain ordinary body, but the style is novel and unique, and the whole capital is famous, and it has attracted everyone's attention as soon as it comes.
Jingyun, as the eldest daughter of the crown prince, saw Princess Cheng and Mrs. Yeguo's carriage coming together, she naturally had to go to greet the two of them first, but Bai Ko opened the door and got out of the car first, and led Ning Peilan down, Jingyun is also a smart child, glanced at the carriage of the palace that followed behind, and immediately laughed, stepped forward to say good morning to Princess Cheng, and then Mrs. Gu and her niece also got out of the car to greet the county lord.
Because the people did not arrive, the female dependents ignored the cold winter wind, and stood in the shelter of the car in twos and threes to gather together to greet each other, basically according to age, the unmarried and the young daughters-in-law were together, the elders and the elders were together, and there were mothers and daughters who came together to see each other by the way.
Bai Ko also walked around the crowd to greet her, and although she was a civilian, the ladies were still happy to talk to her, especially the vegetable cultivation in the workshop was a good topic.
No one dared to be too late for the assembly time ordered by the county lord of Jingyun, so the personnel arrived quickly, and everyone invited each other to get on the car again and set off, since not everyone took their own carriage, the county lord also generously got into Bai Ko's car, wanting to feel whether her carriage was as smooth as in the city when walking in the wilderness.
The guards of the East Palace are naturally where the county lord is, where are they, the county lord is in Bai Ko's car, Bai Ko's car has become the first car, anyway, there are guards who open the way, Lao Cui is not afraid of going the wrong way, just follow it.
The carriage is lively, Bai Ko takes out snacks with different tastes from the box, sweet, salty, spicy, everyone especially likes lactose and nougat, this sugar is suitable for winter to do, the sugar cubes will not be deformed and softened in the cold, nougat is made of other nuts, not peanuts, the taste is just as delicious.
The surrounding environment of the capital has mountains and rivers, it is a treasure of wind and water, so many of them go to the royal warm soup quickly, and they have to rest in the field at noon, Ning Peilan and Bai Ko have already prepared, and they have packed a lot of dumplings in advance and frozen them in the ice cellar for a day and a night, and there are also many catties of noodles, which is enough for so many of them to fill their stomachs, and there is still a surplus amount to invite the county lord and Mrs. Gu to dine together.
After the people and horses were full, the whole team set off again, and finally walked into the gate of Wentang Villa in the afternoon.
I don't know how the people in other carriages are, anyway, in her carriage, everyone is full at noon, the car is stable and warm, and they lean on each other and sleep all the way unconsciously, and they are woken up by the sound of knocking on the door to know that they have arrived.
The palace people of the villa waited early to greet the county lord and assign a yard to everyone, but Bai Ko and the others did not worry, and they talked about it in the car, they lived with the county lord, so after the ceremony, the palace people led the county lord back to her residence first, and there were others to settle the other guests.
As the prince's concubine, Jingyun is exclusive from the residence to the warm soup pool, and the bathroom of the bedroom has introduced a warm soup with living water.
"I just want to soak in the hot water right now and relax, let's go to the pool, shall we? Or will it be after dinner? Recently, the weather has been good, and you can see the starry sky at night. Jingyun stood outside the door of her upper room and said to the few people who were about to enter their respective rooms.
"An open-air warm bath with a starry night view? The folk girl is very interested! Bai Ko laughed.
"Then it's decided! After dinner, let's make a soup together! Now for a break, I'm going to soak my feet in the hot spring water first, and then we'll have dinner together. ”
Jingyun giggled, turned around and went back to the house, everyone also smiled and agreed, each went into the house to pack their luggage, change clothes and rest, the carriage was very tired after sitting for most of the day, and they were motionless for a few hours, and their calves were swollen, so they just soaked in the hot spring water to soothe it.
