Chapter 336: Bathing
Xu Rong saw that there were not many flowers in Qin Yao's house, but there were more green plants, but there were a few pots of flowers, which I had never seen, in terms of variety, Xu Rong looked at it for a long time and didn't see what it was, the light purple bell looked like a small flower, which was quite special.
"Second princess, what kind of precious variety of flowers are you growing, so special, are they medicinal herbs?" Xu Rong asked curiously.
Qin Yao looked back at the potted plant that Xu Rong pointed to, and said lightly: "It's not a medicinal herb, it's an ingredient, it's the golden thing in the cold dish you ate." ”
Xu Rong took a closer look at the bowl, "Ah! Isn't that a potato! ”
"That's right! Who told you that you can't grow potatoes and put them in the house to look at, isn't it pretty good? ”
"And what about the daffodils in your house?" Xu Rong pointed to a pot next to him, he felt from the beginning that this pot of daffodils was too lush, and it was completely impossible to do so this season.
"Oh, what, that's a pot of garlic sprouts." Qin Yao's face did not change, and his heart did not beat.
Xu Rong suddenly admired it from his heart, this second princess's preferences are very unearthly, she doesn't play flower arrangement, but grows a bunch of ingredients, people who love to eat, people who love to eat will not be bad.
Qin Yao looked at Xu Rong in a daze, thinking that his hobby of growing vegetables could not be accepted by Xu Rong, so he hurriedly rounded the field by himself: "There were not so many people in this house before, just our master and servant, the more hungry we are at night and want to cook noodles or something, and we have to wake up others when we go out, so it's not too much trouble, it's better to prepare some by yourself, cook noodles, and sprinkle a green onion and garlic sprouts." ”
This kind of foodie's forcible behavior of saving dignity can only be thought of by Qin Yao himself.
Xu Rong felt that he liked the style of the second princess and concubine, maverick, and people were special, like the people of his own family, in the doctor's pile, they were all people who came out of the mud and were not stained, like Qin Yao, compared with other housekeepers and ladies of your mansion, she was very approachable, at least I hadn't heard that the eldest lady of the main house in other mansions allowed a half-sized son to sit and eat and drink casually.
Steward Wu's wife has almost prepared for going to the hot springs, mainly considering safety, as well as Qin Yao's inability to blow the wind, and safety on the road.
Steward Wu's lady came to report to Qin Yao, after all, the master has to be willing to go.
"The second prince ordered, saying that a special soup pool was prepared, and the second prince and concubine were arranged to go to the small soup spring in the imperial city to bubble."
"Yes. It's good for you to go there, and don't forget to bring some fresh mint with you. Xu Rong interjected and added.
"No, just treat some blood congestion and swelling pain, and go to Xiaotangquan?"
Qin Yao has always heard of Xiao Tangquan, but helplessly, the Qin Mansion does not have so much face and does not have so much money to spend on it, and the Lord of the Qin Mansion is not the person who is so windy and snowy, so Qin Yao has always heard of Xiao Tangquan, and has never seen it once, not to mention that he can go to a special soup pool to take a dip, this kind of treatment, needless to say, is basically only available to the royal family and nobles......
Tut-tut, look at it, Qin Yao flew a look at Su He, and Su He also blinked and understood what Qin Yao meant, being the second princess has great tangible benefits, for example, you can go to the well-known small soup spring in the imperial city, and have a pool of your own, soak in it, this feeling is ......
Steward Wu's lady continued: "The second princess and concubine pack up, let's go, I have already packed up the clothes and things I have changed, and I have sent someone to send them over, and the carriage we are going to sit in is also packed, let's go." Saying that, Steward Wu's lady turned back to the little maid behind her and said, "Someone went to pick fresh mint and bring it, and the skein parasol was also prepared, and the second princess will use it when she goes out." ”
Qin Yao is actually not so particular about where to take a bath, the big basin in the house is fine, and the bathhouse outside the house can be as long as the environment is clean and good, not to mention, this is not an ordinary bathhouse, this is a famous small soup spring in the imperial city, so what are we waiting for, we have to go!
Su He hurried up and put Qin Yao's hair a little, anyway, when he arrived at Xiaotangquan, he had to untie his hair, why bother to comb his hair again, the clothes were the same, how comfortable and convenient to come, Su He also brought a basket of rose pastries with Qin Yao, as well as freshly brewed bamboo leaf tea, everything was ready, and he set off to pull out the small soup spring.
Xu Rong was left like this to continue to eat and drink, and when he was full, he could take a nap, and Qin Yao was going to go to the hot springs.
Along the way, because of Ye Qinghong's arrangement and instructions, try to take small routes, avoiding pedestrians on the street and those big roads in the downtown area, Qin Yao is not interested in seeing the scenery, so he sits in the car safely, there is nothing special along the way, and the smooth group arrived at Xiaotangquan.
As the name suggests, this small soup spring must not be able to catch up with the royal hot spring, that place is not Ye Qinghong's father now, today's saint is still soaking there, it is used by the royal family, although Qin Yao is the second princess, but even Ye Qinghong can't go to the royal hot spring to take a dip, and Qin Yao doesn't plan to take the initiative to see his future father-in-law.
But the small hot spring is different, the location does not conflict with the royal hot springs, and the location is not far or near, it is too far, those dignitaries and nobles are lazy, who still goes. And Xiaotangquan just lies in the fact that ordinary businessmen and ordinary eunuchs can't come, it's not that it's not allowed to be the price, you can't afford it, the fee is high, but the service is good, and the rules and regulations are clean.
Also, most of the people who come are women, and the women in this house make an appointment to come together to soak in the soup and eat fast, which is also a good place for social gatherings.
And it is especially suitable for watching children's marriages, basically no makeup and no cumbersome dressing, what is it like, doesn't it need such an environment to pick a daughter-in-law?
Qin Yao came to Xiaotangquan for the first time, before, I just heard that after all, no one around Qin Yao had ever come, so his impression of Xiaotangquan was completely based on market rumors and his own association, this place was much bigger than he imagined, Qin Yao felt that if no one followed, he was not familiar with the place and did not know the layout and structure inside, and he would have to get lost if he couldn't go far.
Fortunately, the carriages and horses of the Second Prince's Mansion still enjoy some privileges, so the carriages and horses of the Second Prince's Mansion smoothly entered the gate of Xiaotangquan, and kept moving until they reached the backyard where men and women were to be divided, and the carriage stopped. After that, we have to pay attention to the difference between men and women.
Men are not allowed to go to the range of women's hot springs, so the carriage has to stay, Qin Yao got out of the carriage and changed to a soft lady, even the sedan chair was carried by women, and several sturdy young women carried Qin Yao's soft lady into the "daughter country" of Xiaotangquan in a flash.
