In the next few days, every day, Xiao Rui came to play in Xixiu Villa with Qin Mingyue during the day, and after dinner at night, he returned to live in his village.

The two of them walked through the inside of Xixiu Villa, and even checked the wine cellar and ice cellar under Xixiu Villa. Xixiu Villa has its own warehouse, which is not empty, but slowly stuffed. There are all kinds of furniture, ornaments, tea sets, gold and silver utensils, silk and satin. These were originally the things that the Queen Mother put in Xixiu Villa. When rewarding the villa, they were all given to Qin Mingyue together.

In addition to these big guys, daily necessities, there is also an ice cellar, which is very huge, Zhai Jinfu's housekeeper has already asked people to take good ice from the small river next to it in winter, clean ice, neatly stacked in the ice cellar, ready for the summer for the master to use. Looking at the scale of this ice cellar, Qin Mingyue felt that she shouldn't be hot this summer.

Next to the ice cellar, there is also a cellar dedicated to storing food and wine. The grain is only a small part, and most of them are cochineal rice and medicinal herbs produced by Xixiu Villa itself. The drinks are worth mentioning. This is a good wine to pay tribute from all over the world, the Queen Mother asks people to store it every year, but rarely takes it out to drink, so that the collection of the wine cellar is more and more, more and more abundant, and the age of these wines is getting older and older, and there are even fine wines that have been stored for more than 30 years.

This was a real bonus.

Qin Mingyue was also generous, and immediately took out a jar of thirty-year-old Sydney wine for two people to drink. This wine is so old that it has already hung its glass. It's delicious. Qin Mingyue drank very comfortably.

After visiting Xixiu Villa, Xiao Rui even took Qin Mingyue to the mountains behind the villa to find a secluded visit.

Although it is still a land of ice and snow, Xiao Rui himself has good martial arts, and the guards he carries are also good hands, although Qin Mingyue does not know any martial arts, but in the past half a year, with the increase of his skills, he has also exercised every morning, boxed, and taken some heavenly treasures to wash the muscles, so he can still climb the mountain and explore.

However, Qin Mingyue walked relatively slowly, and she still needed Xiao Rui or the secret guards brought by Qin Mingyue to help her from time to time.

Although the march is not difficult, the scenery is still good. Because it is a royal village and a royal garden, the surrounding mountains and forests belong to the royal management, so there are no tourists and no ordinary people come to collect firewood. On the mountain, there are even many very good varieties of plum blossoms.

Treading the snow to find plum blossoms is originally an elegant matter. After a difficult journey, she finally found one or a few blooming plum blossoms, smelling the fragrance and enjoying the beautiful scenery, Qin Mingyue felt comfortable physically and mentally.

Of course, it would be even happier if there was no Xiao Rui, a big-mouthed Solo who was constantly on the side.

At this moment, Qin Mingyue was watching plum blossoms under a few cinnabar plum trees in a small valley, and Xiao Rui was still chattering: "What's so beautiful about this?" When I was a kid, I used to come here. Another time, I accidentally fell into the stream next to these plum blossoms, but I frightened the guards who were guarding me. In this winter, if you fall into the icy stream, you will be escorted down the mountain immediately, and the cold that penetrates through the bones can also freeze a child half to death. If I had made any mistake, I guess I wouldn't have to have to take the lives of those guards. ”

"But, strangely, the stream wasn't cold at all. So, although I fell into it, because the water is not deep, the water is still warm, so there is nothing wrong with it. The guards quickly changed my clothes. I took it back to the villa, drank a big bowl of ginger tea, and took a hot bath. In the end, nothing happened. ”

"Although the Imperial Grandmother still punished the guards, she also wondered how I fell into the stream without any problems. The guards were sent to investigate carefully, and only then did they find that there was a stream of hot water flowing through the stream. It's a hot spring in the mountains. Later, the imperial grandmother made people think of a way to bring the hot spring water over, and when they came to the villa, they added a hot spring to the villa. ”

"The imperial grandmother has to come to Xixiu Villa every winter to soak in the hot springs, which has made her body better and better, and even the pain of many years has been relieved. My grandmother praised me for being a blessed child. ”

Looking at Xiao Rui's smug face, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but pour cold water: "You have been talking for so long, aren't you thirsty?" You're not thirsty, but my ears are calloused. It's such a cold day, and this valley is warmer because of the hot spring stream, but after all, it's a cold winter, and your mouth doesn't stop, and you're not afraid of freezing your tongue? ”

When Xiao Rui heard this, he hurriedly stuck out his tongue: "Look at it, your tongue is so good, how can it freeze?" ”

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but feel angry.

Ignore him and walk straight to the area of the fabled hot stream. This creek is strange, but it is still steaming, which shows that it is really hot spring water flowing through. Qin Mingyue squatted down and put a pair of jade hands into the stream, it was really warm.

The water in the stream is not deep, but because of the hot water, there are no fish swimming in it, but there are many green plants growing in the water on the shore. In this winter, except for the plum blossoms, it is rare to see some green.

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but look carefully: "Evening primrose, blue and white grass, warm sun grass, unicorn leaves, dream flowers." ”

Xiao Rui said: "Hey, Mingyue, do you know how to know herbal medicine?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "Where do I know how to know herbs, but I know a few medicinal materials related to cultivation. These herbs, although not precious, are also commonly used in cultivation. All are positive herbs. Well, yes, such a valley, in winter, can have such hot springs, of course, it is very suitable for the growth of such herbs. ”

Xiao Rui suddenly became interested: "Why don't we go upstream along this creek?" The guards have been there and say that there is a large pool of hot eggs that can be boiled, and that the hot spring water flows from there. ”

Qin Mingyue said helplessly: "You are really very curious, since everyone has visited, why should we go and do it?" ”

Xiao Rui said: "Mingyue, don't you know that hearing is false, and seeing is believing? We've been visited by guards, but we've never been. Anyway, we've come here now, and now when we go back, it's not time to eat yet, so let's go and have a look, which can be regarded as a long insight. Let me tell you, people used to say that in the far west, heaven and earth are connected. But when I went to the far west, I saw where the heavens and the earth are connected, and is it clearly a sea? It can be seen that the world where we are located is surrounded by the sea on all sides. ”

Qin Mingyue's eyes couldn't help but widen: "Didn't you even go out of the capital?" How did you go to the far west? ”

Xiao Rui couldn't help but be stunned.
