Chapter 233: Red Fox Fur Shawl
Chu Lian patted Duanjia's little hand, "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to make roast duck today, and when you learn it, you can make it for the prince often." , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ . β
As soon as Chu Lian said this, the county lord of Duanjia became happy.
The two walked as they talked, and soon arrived at the 'flower' hall in the main courtyard.
Princess Wei was dressed in a silver-red Duanli palace dress, sitting on the warm couch, looking at Duanjia County Lord and Chu Lian who came in together with a gentle expression.
The county lord of Duanjia and Chu Lian gave a salute to Princess Wei together.
Mama Lan, who was beside Princess Wei, hurriedly helped the two of them up.
She smiled and said, "The princess has been looking forward to the return of the countryman for a long time. β
Princess Wei beckoned to Chu Lian, "Come, come over to me, let me take a good look." β
Chu Lian approached, and his hands were pulled by Princess Wei.
Princess Wei's eyes were kind and gentle, and she looked her up and down carefully, and then said: "I have lost weight, I have lost a lot of weight compared to last winter, and I will ask the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse in a while." β
Chu Lian hurriedly shook his head, "Princess Niangniang, no need, the doctor in the house has already seen it, and I am in good health now!"
Princess Wei disagreed, "Li Yue has already told me that you were assassinated and injured in the north, although you have found a doctor and the injury has been cured, but if you can't keep it, it will leave the root of the disease, so let the imperial doctor take a look at it again, so that the concubine can rest assured." β
Chu Lian's heart warmed, and he agreed with a smile, "Then it's troublesome for the princess." β
The county lord of Duanjia next to him pouted, "Chu Liu, look, as soon as you come, the concubine will not have me in her eyes." β
Princess Wei glared at the 'girl' helplessly.
Princess Wei looked at the dress Chu Lian was wearing today, and her face was even more gentle, "I didn't expect that the size of this dress is just right, and Duanjia is also a size." β
Mama Lan was also very happy, and quipped: "No, the townsman really looks good in this outfit, and standing with the county lord is like a sister." β
Seeing that the mother concubine and Mama Lan said this, the county lord of Duanjia deliberately stood beside Chu Lian and compared, and even she herself was surprised: "That's really the case, Chu Liu, you are actually as tall as me." β
Chu Lian also felt that this resemblance was magical.
If you look closely, she and Lord Duanjia are not only of the same size, but even have two or three points of similarity between her eyebrows and eyes.
Such a joke, the county lord of Duanjia is even more interested.
She hugged Princess Wei's arm and shook it coquettishly, "Mother, didn't you make me two sets of Jinxiuluo's dresses a few days ago, why don't I change them with Chu Liu?"
Princess Wei was moved by the 'girl' said, her eyes flashed, and she nodded.
So, the county lord of Duanjia took Chu Lian to the room to change clothes.
When the two of them returned to the 'flower' hall, even Mama Lan was stunned.
One red and one blue dress of the same style was worn on the Duanjia County Lord and Chu Lian, with the same hair bun and the same jewelry on the bun, standing hand in hand in front of Princess Wei, really like sisters.
This time the impact was even greater than the last one.
Chu Lian was a little uncomfortable, she always felt that Princess Wei's eyes falling on her were too heavy, as if they contained very heavy feelings.
Mama Lan's eyes couldn't help but be foggy.
The county lord of Duanjia pulled Chu Lian around, and asked Princess Wei with a smile, "Mother, do you look good?"
Princess Wei squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly, held back her emotions that she was about to burst, and nodded, "Good-looking, good-looking!"
The county lord of Duanjia pulled Chu Lian to Princess Wei's side together, and said to Chu Lian delicately: "Chu Liu, how is it, I said that this dress looks good!"
She looked Chu Lian up and down again, and finally wrinkled the tip of her nose unwillingly, "You are so good-looking, you are really cheap for that kid He Sanlang." β
Princess Wei saw that the 'girl' was speaking more and more openly, and hurriedly tugged her arm, "Duanjia, how can you speak! He Sanlang is now the Marquis of Dingyuan, who is personally enshrined by the Holy Lord." β
The county lord of Duanjia rolled his eyes, "What's the use of Dingyuan Hou, it's not that Chu Liu was injured and suffered such a big loss." β
At this point, Princess Wei was also dissatisfied, and also thought that He Changdi did not take good care of Chu Lian.
Li Xing and Li Yue's brothers and sisters followed Chu Lian's side all the way, and of course Princess Wei was clear about what happened in the north.
At this time, Chu Lian said: "The husband also came to the palace today, and was invited to the study by the king of the county. β
Hearing Chu Lian say this, Lord Duanjia suddenly gloated, "Chu Liu, you said that He Sanlang was invited to the study by the second brother?"
Chu Lian nodded, not understanding why Lord Duanjia was so excited.
"Haha, He Saburo really deserves it, the second brother likes to 'trick' people the most. β
Yes?
Lu Tai likes to play tricks on people?
What kind of brother and sister are these! Chu Lian was speechless, a little worried about He Changdi.
He, the snake 'spirit' sick man, won't really be cheated!
After Duanjiajun finished speaking, she was glared at by Princess Wei, she took Chu Lian's hand and comforted, "Don't worry, although Tai'er is stubborn, she doesn't have bad intentions, and Marquis Dingyuan will be fine." β
Although Princess Wei said so, she also hoped that her son could teach He Sanlang a lesson, so that he could understand the proportions, and let him know that although Chu Lian's family was poor, she still had the support of Princess Wei.
As soon as the topic was revealed, the county lord of Duanjia squeezed to Chu Lian's side with a smile, "Chu Liu, didn't you say that you brought fresh food?"
Chu Lian smiled and asked Xiyan and Wenlan to bring all the things.
A package and a food box are placed on the table.
Chu Lian walked over and opened the package himself, and took out two fiery red shawls from inside.
Princess Wei and Lord Duanjia are both knowledgeable, and they can see at a glance that Chu Lian is holding the best red fox 'hair'.
The county lord of Duanjia was surprised: "Chu Liu, where did you 'get' this thing?" β
Chu Lian handed two shawls with slightly different styles to Princess Wei and Lord Duanjia respectively.
"I was lucky to bring it back from the north, and I happened to meet this batch of red fox 'fur' skins, so I made a shawl for the princess and the county lord. β
In the Dawu Dynasty, the red fox 'Mao' was even rarer than the white fox 'Mao'.
Especially the two red fox 'hair' shawls brought by Chu Lian without a trace of miscellaneous 'hair' on their bodies, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare to be golden.
The county lord of Duanjia happily put it on his body on the spot, and turned around ostentatiously, "Mother, look, is it good-looking!"
Princess Wei glared at her, turned her head and asked Chu Lian in a kind voice, "Such a valuable red fox 'hair', this time it's just that, I'll keep it, don't be so expensive next time." β
Chu Lian's face stiffened, and he said embarrassedly: "Princess Niangniang, in fact, it didn't cost much money. β
When she said this, it aroused people's curiosity.
"How much is it if it doesn't cost?" asked the Duanjia County Lord.
Chu Lian stretched out his slender fingers and gestured with a word.
The county lord of Duanjia guessed: "Ten thousand taels?"
Chu Lian tugged at the corners of his mouth, coughed, and shook his head.
What 10,000 taels, she didn't even have 5,000 taels of silver on her when she was in the north......
The county lord of Duanjia covered his mouth: "Don't tell me it's 100,000 taels!"
"It's not. Chu Lian was embarrassed.
Princess Wei was also curious, she first glared at the Duanjia County Lord, "What 100,000 taels, our palace doesn't have so many silver taels." I'm afraid Jin Yi is talking about a thousand taels. β
"What! One thousand taels, this is too cost-effective, Chu Liu, how can your luck be so good, one thousand taels to buy these red fox 'fur', or become such a 'color', but take a big advantage!"
The county lord of Duanjia bit the little handkerchief, crazy with jealousy, why didn't he have such good luck, and every time he accompanied his mother to play the horse hanging, he lost the golden light.
Chu Lian smiled and coughed, "Princess Niangniang, it's not a thousand taels, it's a load of brown rice......"
At that time, the northern Jian City was only opened, and this red fox 'Mao' was used by a barbarian to exchange for food, and was reported to Steward Qin by the people below, and Steward Qin sent it to her.
As soon as Chu Lian's words came out, the county lord of Duanjia pounced on him with a snort.
"Chu Liu, what kind of luck are you, let me rub it quickly, it's too against the sky!"
Princess Wei was also speechless and amused when she heard it.
Chu Lian didn't have to worry about the affairs of Jian City in the north in front of Princess Wei, but these two shawls of the red fox 'hair' were enough to make people jealous.
It can be seen how lucrative this is.
Compared with the return in the Northern Territory Jian City, Gui Linju's income is nothing to Chu Lian now.
No matter how cheap these two red fox 'hair' cloaks were, Princess Wei and Lord Duanjia were very moved in their hearts.
It's not about money, it's about affection.
Chu Lian opened the food box again, and took out a 'delicate' porcelain plate from it, "This is the hawthorn ball I made yesterday, the county lord and the princess both taste it." β
Lord Duanjia likes to eat the fresh and novel food made by Chu Lian the most, so he immediately twisted a hawthorn ball with frosting and put it in his mouth.
The sweet but not greasy frosting on the outside melts in the mouth, take a bite, sweet and sour, sour but not astringent, there is not even a nucleus inside, you can swallow it directly after chewing.
Sweet and sour, but not greasy, Duanjia County Lord finished eating one, and couldn't wait to eat another one.
Princess Wei also picked one up and put it in her mouth, nodding in admiration while tasting it.
"This little fruit wrapped in frosting has a special taste, sweet and sour, very appetizing. But it doesn't seem to smell like hawthorn?"
Chu Lian didn't expect Princess Wei to be able to taste it.
She nodded, "The princess is right, although I call this snack hawthorn ball, it is not actually made of hawthorn." β
It is not good for hawthorn pregnant 'women' to eat too much, Chu Lian has a lot of thoughts, and when making this snack, he deliberately used the lantern fruit that is a specialty of the north (the lantern fruit described by Ah Lan here is not a lantern fruit that exists in reality, it is a red 'color' fruit similar to hawthorn, with a similar taste and different 'medicinal' effects. The fruit looks and tastes very similar to hawthorn, but the 'medicinal' effect is completely different from that of hawthorn.
After eating snacks, the imperial doctor invited by Princess Wei also came.
It was Imperial Doctor Min who was the best at trauma in the Tai Hospital, and it was only when Imperial Doctor Min personally invited Chu Lian to ask for a safe pulse, saying that it was no big deal, and Princess Wei was really relieved.
As soon as Imperial Doctor Min left, the county lord of Duanjia pulled Chu Lian to make roast duck.
Princess Wei was helpless, so she had to glare at the county lord of Duanjia.
