Jiao Niang had a dream that she was doing her hair in a barber shop, where the air conditioner was turned on at the right temperature and her favorite TV series was playing on the TV. She watched it very attentively, but the face of the actor in the TV series suddenly changed to Yan Yijun, and Jiao Niang was startled and woke up from her dream.

The servant woman in the house had long since retreated, her hair had been dried and she was covered with a quilt. Jiao Niang smelled her hair and sure enough, there was a fragrance of flowers, put on the incense and warm clothes, and Jiao Niang went out.

"Did you see my brother?" When she saw a servant, she asked.

"In the room of the fourth prince, the fourth prince saw that you were sleeping soundly, so he asked the little young master to take him to his room." The servant replied respectfully, she saw that this girl was young and beautiful, and she should not be an ordinary person when she was dressed extraordinarily, so she naturally took twelve points of caution.

Jiao Niang nodded, and walked towards the house of the four princes, where the four princes lived in the past, through the small garden. Jiao Niang didn't curl her hair, but just pulled on her cloak and took up her hat, but she happened to meet General Zhao and Ning Ruowei on the way.

"General Zhao, General Ning." Jiao Niang took the initiative to say hello, General Zhao just nodded arrogantly, but Ning Xiaojiang stared at Jiao Niang and was stunned.

"People have gone far." General Zhao patted Ning Ruowei on the shoulder: "I really like it, let's ask the emperor to give her to you." ”

"She is the savior of the Four Princes, she ...... I'm afraid not. Ning Ruowei knew that Xin Jianniang didn't mean that to him at all, maybe he shouldn't be more delusional. But remembering that when the fourth prince broke into the room of the lady, he saw the beautiful woman sleeping on the recliner, she was as beautiful as a dream, and he couldn't give it up.

"How do you know if you don't give it a try? We boys from the north don't cower. General Zhao didn't agree that Ning Ruowei had anything to do with this Chinese woman at first, but knowing that Ning Ruowei beat the soldier's stick for Xin Jiaoniang, he knew that Ning Ruowei was sincere, and it would be too boring for him to stop him.

When Jiao Niang came to Han Zongqi's house, she heard the laughter of Han Zongqi and Xin An inside, and pushed the door in, Han Zongqi and Xin An were lying on the ground playing with wooden villains, and there were people who looked like maids waiting next to them.

"Sister!" When the two of them saw Jiao Niang coming, they all got up from the ground, Xin An just knew how to walk, and swayed towards Jiao Niang, and Jiao Niang hugged Xin An affectionately in her arms.

Han Zongqi pouted aggrievedly, and her sister didn't let herself hug her: "Sister, I'm hungry, the things they make are so unpalatable!" An'er refused to eat. ”

The maid next to her hurriedly explained: "This is the best food in our station." Jiao Niang saw that the dishes on the table were exquisite, but it was cold in the north, and it was not very hot when this food was delivered to the room, so Han Zongqi and Xin An definitely didn't like to eat.

Jiao Niang smiled peacefully and asked, "Girl, where is the kitchen here, can I use it?" ”

The maid was a little flattered by the girl's cry, and immediately said, "Naturally, Miss, please come with me." ”

Jiao Niang followed the maid to the kitchen, and said to the kitchen steward Jiao Niang began to prepare for cooking, and after a round, Jiao Niang was pleasantly surprised to find the ancient hot pot.

It turned out that the north was cold, and she had long had the habit of eating hot pot, so Jiao Niang took mutton and other preparations to make mutton hot pot with a smile on her face. The kitchen steward shook his head: "Girl, I don't think you're from the north, you shouldn't know that mutton is too fat to make hot pot." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, but there is a way in my hometown to make mutton not fat." Jiao Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and took the ingredients she wanted without hesitation.

Jiao Niang cut the fresh leg of lamb and blanch it in a pot for five minutes to remove impurities and blood foam. Remove and wash repeatedly before adding star anise, ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, nutmeg and garlic to simmer, the most important step is to add orange peel.

After doing these delicate girls, she asked the housekeeper to help her watch the fire, cut the cabbage on the side, grabbed a handful of vermicelli and soaked it in water, and made two bowls of rice balls for Han Zongqi and Xin An to bring to them to cushion their stomachs.

Wait until the mutton is stewed, Jiao Niang took out the mutton soup in a small pot, put the vermicelli cabbage, added seasonings and mutton, and then poured it into the hot pot and added a few slices of coriander to the hot pot. Jiao Niang asked people to take hot pot and rice to Han Zongqi's room.

The mutton soup exudes a charming taste, the charcoal fire at the bottom of the hot pot maintains the temperature of the mutton soup, Jiao Niang put the mutton soup in the rice, and fed the mutton to Xin An to eat, Xin An obediently ate a full bowl. Han Zongqi ate two large bowls of rice before stopping.

When Jiao Niang finished eating, Han Zongqi held his face in distress and asked, "Sister, what are we going to eat at night?" ”

Before Jiao Niang could reply, the maid hurriedly said, "The fourth prince General Zhao said that the city lord of Eternal Winter City will have a banquet for the four princes and the prince's savior tonight. Jiao Niang was worried, she didn't know what this ancient banquet was like and what the etiquette to be followed was.

"Girl, do you know what to pay attention to when attending a banquet in the north?" Jiao Niang has a good habit of asking if you don't understand.

"Miss just call me Xiao Jiang, we are more bold in the north and have nothing to pay attention to, men and women sit at the same table, but sometimes there will be competitions at our banquets, guests have to show their strengths, and they will be laughed at!" Xiao Jiang explained for Jiao Niang.

"......" Jiao Niang's mind remembered the famous scenes of the traverser chanting poems in various novels, hehe, this girl recites a poem every minute! The lady who is very relieved of her liberal arts level doesn't think about the dinner party at night.

Not long after the afternoon, Xiao Jiang began to wash and dress Jiao Niang, Xiao Jiang's dexterity combed Jiao Niang into a hanging bun, and then pinned a delicate golden hairpin hair ornament. Jiao Niang asked curiously: "Miss Xiaojiang, these jewelry?" ”

"It was sent by General Zhao, and the clothes and accessories to wear for the banquet were all delivered." Xiao Jiang said with a smile, she hadn't dressed up such a beautiful lady for a long time.

After finishing the makeup, the girl looked at the person in the mirror in a daze, this could no longer see the appearance of a country girl, and the person in front of her was clearly a noble lady.

"My sister is so beautiful!" Han Zongqi hugged Xin An and surrounded Jiao Niang to turn left and right, and Jiao Niang laughed.

When he got into the carriage, General Zhao was a little shocked when he saw Xin Jianniang's appearance, and this appearance was not worse than that of the princess in the north. Ning Ruowei was a little disappointed, Miss Xin deserved a better life with her generosity, and she was afraid that she was not worthy of her.

In this way, everyone with their own thoughts staggered in the carriage to the mansion of the lord of Eternal Winter City.

When Jiao Niang got out of the car, she saw a crowd of people bustling in front of the city lord's mansion, led by a middle-aged man with a beard, and saw Han Zongqi and General Zhao The man greeted him with a smile on his face, it should be the city lord of Eternal Winter City.

"The four princes are far away!" After saying this, the man knelt down and saluted, and everyone around him also knelt down.

Han Zongqi was motionless, he was hugging Xin An and squeezing his eyebrows, not paying attention to others at all. After a while, everyone was still on their knees, and someone began to whisper. Jiao Niang looked anxious, and whispered to Han Zongqi: "Let them get up." ”

Han Zongqi has always listened to Jiao Niang's words and immediately said: "Get up! The Lord of Eternal Winter City glanced at Xin Jianniang as if he didn't have anything, then stood up with a smile on his face and welcomed them into the mansion.
