Chapter 268: Visiting Yan Niang
"What cornucopia?"
The voice of Han Xin, the twelfth prince, came from outside.
Qi Baobox and Yun Yao hurriedly stood up, and saw that the cotton curtain was lifted, and Han Xin, who was much taller, lowered his head and entered the house.
"Lord is back." Qi Baobox hurriedly stepped forward to help Han Xin take off his cloak and put it aside, and asked the girl to come in and wash Han Xin's hands and face.
Han Xin smiled at Yun Yao while washing his face: "Sister-in-law, sit down, don't be so polite as a family." ”
Yun Yao was really not polite, she sat down directly, and when Han Xin washed her hands and face and sat down, she didn't ask the girl to go to tea, but directly picked up the tea that Qi Bao had drunk just now and poured it down.
"You ......" Qi Baobox glared at Han Xin with shame and anger.
Han Xin laughed twice before asking, "What did your sister-in-law say just now?" ”
"Go down." Qi Baobox sent the girl out, sat down and said: "I didn't say anything, my sister-in-law said that the second sister sent a gem two months ago that can be used as a powerful mechanism, and my sister-in-law has already done it, and I want to ask the master to send someone to the second brother-in-law to transport it over, which is said to be very helpful for building roads and bridges." ”
"Really?" Han Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If that's the case, it's really more powerful than a cornucopia." ”
Qi Baobox pursed his lips and smiled: "No, I also praised my sister-in-law for coming, and my sister-in-law was proud, saying that if the conditions didn't allow it, she would really be able to make a cornucopia." ”
"Ugh!"
This made Han Xin unable to answer.
After waiting for a while, he smiled and said, "Don't talk about this, what about our nephews and nieces?" I haven't seen it since I was born, and I gave such a generous gift in vain, and I didn't even show my face. ”
Qi Baobox pointed to the inner room: "Inside, I'm afraid I'm asleep at this time, if you want to see it, hurry up and take a look, the old man of the province complains that I don't take you over to see the little nephew." ”
Han Xin got up: "Then I'll go over and take a look, I still have something to go out in a while, so you don't have to wait for me to eat at noon." ”
Qi Baobox agreed, and saw Han Xin enter the back room, and then smiled at Yun Yao: "There is nothing to spend in this winter, so I thought about setting up a few tables in a few days, inviting a few familiar wives and grandmothers to come over and sit down, and then discuss with everyone, after all, it is the time of winter leisure, and it is idle at home, it is better for everyone to raise some money to run a few academies, not to say how good, as long as I can teach more children to read and write." ”
Yun Yao also felt that this matter could be done when she heard it: "This method is good, now Suzhou is not as good as before, everyone has some spare money in their hands, but it can be used for their children to study, this academy is not limited to how much, everyone does their best, let's find an idle house, and it doesn't cost much to invite a few gentlemen, and all those who go to study in the academy don't have to pay tuition, and we also give away books for free, only for some money for eating and dressing, so, I'm afraid that many families will have to send their children to study." ”
"We can also secretly observe and see which child is smart and kind, if it is good, you can slowly accept it, we can cultivate it ourselves, and it will be a great help to raise it well in the future." Qi Baobox clapped his hands and laughed.
Yun Yao thought about it and felt that she thought it well, so she said a few words of encouragement.
The two discussed it for a while, but they almost discussed the matter of running the school.
Seeing that the time was noon, Qi Baobox hurriedly asked the girl to set the meal.
Because Yun Yao came over today, the county prince's mansion specially made the best banquet to entertain guests, and after the meal was put on the table, Yun Yao took a look, but it was really bothered, only she and Qi Baobox set up such a table of dishes, and the water flying in the sky and swimming on the ground ran almost everything, so that there were many vegetables in the winter, and then look, there was a big plate of prawns, a lot of seafood......
"It's too extravagant." Yun Yao shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay to be on the side, these seafood are not easy to get, I don't know how much manpower and material resources it took to transport it on such a cold day, our Suzhou was already poor, so it was so extravagant that it was improved, a little too much." ”
Qi Baobox was not annoyed, smiled and picked up a shrimp with chopsticks and put it in Yun Yao's bowl: "This was brought back by our Suzhou caravan when it was transported to the south, and it didn't take much effort." ”
Speaking of this, Huang Yi remembered one thing: "Speaking of which, you can eat these seafood depends on the Fan sister-in-law of the family, this Fan is also a dexterous person, since he called Suzhou, he has been pulling relationships everywhere, often getting some good objects to give away, and it didn't take long to mingle with those officials and wives in Yangcheng, she took out her private money to get a caravan, and transported these blankets and sweaters in Suzhou to other places to sell, and the far places were transported to the seaside, she thought that our Suzhou is far away from the sea, and seafood is extremely rare. I thought of a good way, made my own ice cubes to transport the seafood from the south to preserve, and opened a shop specializing in seafood. ”
"Oh?" Yun Yao felt strange when she heard this, thinking about Fan's personality, she was really shrewd, so she smiled and said: "The Yu family has a good daughter-in-law, I look at it, this Fan family is much more refined than the sixth child of our family, and the eldest brother of the Yu family is also a blessed person." ”
Qi Baobox also likes to listen to this: "Don't talk about it, the relationship between the Fan family and the sixth sister is good, much stronger than the previous Xu family, in the future, we don't have to worry about the sixth sister." ”
Yun Yao listened to Qi Baobox's explanation of the reason, but she didn't say that these banquets were extravagant, and she buried herself in eating those seafoods, this taste, she felt that the chefs of the Junwang Mansion were really good, and these seafood were also good, and the umami was completely preserved.
After eating a shrimp, Yun Yao said to Qi Baobox: "The sixth child is also full moon, even if Fan's shop sells a lot of seafood, it is better for us to buy some when we are free and take them to the sixth child, and ask the sixth child to make them for us to eat." ”
Qi Baobox couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, thinking of Qi Baohua's craftsmanship, his greedy saliva almost flowed down: "This is good, I haven't eaten the dishes made by the sixth sister for a long time, and now she is full moon, we have to knock her alive." ”
Speaking of this, Qi Baobox pouted again: "The fourth sister-in-law is stingy, can't the sixth sister afford to buy those seafood, you know, now the Yu family is not bad for those money, we don't have to buy it, just go to her house and ask her to buy it for us." ”
Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "When the time comes, I will only say that it was your idea and ask her to make trouble with you." ”
"My sister-in-law hurt me." Qi Baobox didn't follow it, and it didn't matter if he was eating or not, he was going to pull Yun Yao's cheeks: "I'll see when my sister-in-law is so thick-skinned." ”
Yun Yao hurriedly went to hide, and said to forgive while hiding: "You are strong, where am I your opponent, ouch, you can spare me, don't dare anymore." ”
Qi Baobox didn't really want to do anything, and when he saw Yun Yao begging, he stopped.
The two of them were talking and laughing while eating, but there were really not so many rules, and this meal was very happy.
After eating, Yun Yao looked at Qi Bao Box while drinking tea: "It's really good, I see that you have a lot of open-mindedness after coming to Suzhou, and you love to smile more than before, it seems that the taste of being the master of your own house is good." ”
Speaking of this, Qi Baobox also had a belly of words, she couldn't help but say: "But isn't it, think about it when I was in Chang'an, it was simply not a human life, there was a prince and a few princes staring at it all day long, plus our lord was not favored, and there was no money on hand, he was a strong one, and I was not allowed to use the dowry silver, my family, a money was eager to be broken into two flowers, and the food and clothing were not satisfactory. Our master can use a lot, his hands are relaxed, and he naturally eats, shelters, and wears well. ”
Qi Baobox complained, Yun Yao listened to it with a smile, and said a few words to her, seeing that it was not early, Yun Yao got up to say goodbye, and said to Qi Baobox when he left: "When you posted, remember to call Fan, she has spare money on hand, and she is willing to do more." ”
"Provincial." Qi Baobox laughed and got up to send Yun Yao out.
Speaking of the Fan family, Yun Yao and Qi Bao Box over there, something really happened to the Fan family.
Speaking of which, Fan's had already inquired about Yan Niang with Qi Baohua, and she had a small account in her heart, but Fan's was busy with her own affairs these days and didn't have time to pay attention to Yan Niang.
After the production of Qi treasure bottles, Fan's thought about meritorious service, thinking about being able to get closer to the Qi family, and made a lot of effort.
Qi Bao Bottle gave birth to a child, because the Yu family did not have any elders in Suzhou, Fan took on the responsibility of the elders, and went over to guard Qi Bao Bottle every day, watching her do confinement, this month of serving, Fan was really tired, but although she was tired, she was very happy in her heart.
With the love of serving the production of Qi Bao bottle to make confinement, in the future, the Qi family will be developed, and it is absolutely necessary to pull his own hand, which Fan is still quite confident in.
It just so happened that on this day, Qi Baohua moved to Qi's house with a full moon, and Fan's family had some free time, so she pondered looking for Yan Niang to ask questions.
Yan Niang is extremely easy to find, Fan has been in Suzhou for a long time, so she naturally knows Yan Niang's residence, and she doesn't care what the weather is, she took the car and went directly to find it.
got out of the car in front of Yan Niang's house, and Fan asked Ya to knock on the door.
But after a while, a little girl who had just left her head opened the door, and when she saw Fan, the little girl frowned: "This lady? ”
Fan smiled: "Sue your master, just say that Fan Wu is visiting." ”
The little girl hurriedly invited Fan to enter the door, and ran to tell Yan Niang, and after a moment's effort, Yan Niang wore a thick cotton coat and a snow-white cloak to greet her.
"I said which one it was, it turned out that Mrs. Yu was here." Yan Niang saw that although Fan was puzzled, she still smiled and led Fan into the door.
Both of them are smart and intelligent people, and they quietly laughed and entered the house, and when they were seated, Yan Niang asked the girls to put tea on them, and then waved their hands to tell the girls to withdraw.
Fan also said to the girl who followed: "There's nothing to do here, you can go and have tea and rest." ”
When the girl's mother-in-law went down, Yan Niang looked at Fan with her hand stove: "Mrs. Yu, there must be something important to visit in such weather, right?" Tell me, as long as I can help, I will not refuse. (To be continued.) )
