Chapter 259; Mother is here
The next day, Huo Junyao had just had breakfast and was sitting on the edge of the return stove drinking tea leisurely.
I thought I should find something to do to pass the time during this long winter.
The motive of the capital of the Yu Dynasty is still relatively long, and this is ancient times, and there are almost no entertainment facilities.
"It seems that we still have to get the quintessence of the country out."
In her previous life, as a native of Yushi, she was exposed to this thing since she was a child, but she just looked at it when she was a child.
She thought about it, and immediately asked Xiaochan to prepare paper and pen, and then began to write and draw, and when she was busy surviving, she handed over the things to Xiaochan.
Let her go to Mama Xi to find a few good carvers.
"Miss, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has come down."
"Mother is here?"
Huo Junyao hurriedly got up and walked out.
At this time, the eldest princess of Ningyang and her daughter-in-law Fang Zhilan had just entered the small city gate outside, and the area of the hot spring villa was much larger than before.
But fortunately, Huo Junyao had already repaired the cement road early.
Speaking of which, she was also more thoughtful at the beginning, knowing that the smooth cement road would be very slippery if it was in winter, after the water became ice, so when she built it, she also deliberately made some anti-slip patterns.
In addition, since the beginning of winter, she has instructed the people in the village to clear the snow diligently, and if you find that the road is frozen, you can sprinkle some salt cubes.
At this time, the eldest princess of Ningyang and several people were walking on the cement road, looking around at it.
"Mother, it's not been long, I didn't expect this Zhuangzi to change so much."
"And look at this road, how did the little sister build the road like this? It's too flat. ”
Fang Zhilan was quite surprised, as soon as they entered the door, they were surprised by what they saw, so they didn't take the carriage, and got off the carriage on foot.
"I don't know about this, but your little sister knows a lot of things, and the city wall just now, I looked at it very different from the city wall we usually see."
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Huo Junyao came from a distance.
"Mother, second sister-in-law."
"Yaoyao."
"Little sister, your Zhuangzi has changed too much, when I came over with my mother just now, I thought I was going the wrong way."
Fang Zhilan opened her mouth with a smile.
"There are some changes, why don't you take the carriage in, how cold is this."
"It's okay, don't you want to see your Zhuangzi, it's good, especially this road, your second sister-in-law was still asking just now, how did you get this way."
"It's not smooth, it's not muddy at all."
The eldest princess of Ningyang took Huo Junyao's hand and said with a smile.
The three of them talked and laughed and went to the villa, but they didn't go to the hospital, and went directly to the courtyard where Huo Junyao lived.
When I entered the room, the temperature suddenly increased a lot.
beckoned the two to sit down on the side of the return stove, she took two cups from the side, got some tea leaves, picked up the kettle on the return stove, and made two cups of tea for the two.
"Yaoyao, what are you?"
"Tea, I asked someone to make a special trip a few months ago, mother, second sister-in-law, you come and try it."
The Yu Dynasty also has tea, but the tea of the Yu Dynasty tastes strange, and it is not at all clear like in later generations.
It's almost always boiled, and some messy stuff is added to it, ginger, salt, and even oil.
After she drank it once, she didn't drink it anymore, and would rather drink plain water than drink it.
Not some time ago, when she had some spare money in her hand, she asked Mama Xi to arrange someone to get her some green tea that she liked more in the future.
It's still a taste she is familiar with, and it's delicious.
"Your tea is very different."
"Zhilan, it seems that your little sister has made something good again, let's try it well."
Regarding what her daughter shot, the eldest princess of Ningyang is now quite confident.
"Well, it's very fragrant, the taste is very elegant, but the tea flavor is very strong, and it smells good."
Fang Zhilan looked at the tea in the cup in front of her with a smile, smelling the fragrance, even if she didn't taste it, she already liked it a little.
After waiting for a while, the two tasted it one after another, and when they first tasted, it was a little bitter, but the strong taste of tea made the two of them shine.
After a while, the mouth begins to sweeten, and the fragrance of tea fills the mouth.
Drinking it is indeed much more refreshing than the tea they used to drink, and the feeling of bitterness first and then sweetness is also a little unstoppable.
"Good things, my mother is right, my little sister has made good things again."
"If this tea is brought to the capital, it will definitely change the current tea drinking culture."
The eldest princess of Ningyang on the side also nodded again and again.
"This tea is good."
"Mother, second sister-in-law, you like to drink, I still have a lot there, when you go back to the capital, bring some back."
Hearing this, the eldest princess of Ningyang nodded with a smile, and then said; "Before coming, I discussed with your father and second brother, and this year our family will come to your side for the New Year."
"But we have to celebrate the New Year a day early."
One of them is the prince of the country, the other is the eldest princess, on the day of the New Year's Day, the emperor will hold a banquet, and they must all participate.
"Okay, it just so happens that I have also studied some new dishes during this time, and just now I asked Xiaochan to get me a good thing, when the time comes, I will teach my mother and second sister-in-law, and you can also pass the time when you are idle in the future."
"Okay, then my mother has to eat and have fun."
"Little sister, I went back to my mother's house a few days ago, and my mother knew that I was coming to your side today, so let me say thank you to you, and let me bring you a lot of tonic cloth."
Although the Fang family is also a member of the national family, Fang Qiao is a civil official, although his status is high, his family is not too wealthy.
Thinking about the Ji Guo Mansion, if there is no eldest princess, if you just rely on Huo Jingzhi, the Ji Guo Gong's heritage, your life will not be too rich.
This is still a situation when there are not many people in the Ji Guo Mansion, and the people of the Fang family are relatively prosperous.
Basically, they all rely on Fang Qiao's income to maintain, although there are a lot of fields and even shops in the house, but the income is not very much.
After all, the environment is poor, and this is the essence of the problem.
No, the matter of the coal mine made the Fang family make a lot of money, this is only half a month, and the Fang family's income has already exceeded Fang Qiao's income for two or three years.
"Aunt is so polite, what is our relationship, it's not a big deal, so what's the point?"
"Girl, you did a good job this time, not only helped our family, but also helped the people of the world, recently, I have been listening to your father say that Ning Guogong has been talking all day long to come to the door in person to thank you."
"It's just that I've been busy lately, and I can't take a break for a while."
Hearing this, Huo Junyao was a little curious, Ning Guogong is a military general, what is there to be busy with, aren't all civilian officials busy with those things in governing the country?
