Yue Wangfu.
"Why hasn't Jiang Mao come back yet?" While talking, Su Qingbai looked at the time, frowned, then put on a cotton robe and went out, "Forget it, we won't wait for him."
Today, before going to court, Jiang Mao said that he would eat hot pot together at noon when he came back. When it was time to go down in the past, Jiang Mao sent someone back to say that he would go to Concubine Lou. As a result, it was already past lunch time, and Su Qingbai was not waiting for anyone.
"Liu Wei, pack up, I'm going to the farm in the north of the city."
Liu Wei responded and went down, and after a while several carriages were called. Su Qingbai got into one of them.
The farm in the north of the city is closer to the Yue Palace. Jiang Mao asked people to grow a lot of vegetables. In this ancient winter, the cost of growing vegetables was higher, requiring a lot of coal and manpower. Jiang Mao didn't grow too many, just enough for their family to eat.
In winter, there must be nothing to eat in the border town. Su Qingbai picked a cartful of vegetables from the farm and sent them. Fortunately, it is winter now, and the vegetables are not easy to spoil, so they should arrive sooner than a month later.
"What are you going to do here?" Although he was not welcomed, Jiang Jun was thick-skinned. After going to court, he went home and changed his clothes. I'm so busy I don't know what to do. He grabbed the old butler and asked.
"This... was bought by the kitchen." The old butler smiled and replied.
Jiang Jun nodded, turned around and entered the mansion.
"Your Highness Seventh..." The old butler hurriedly followed in.
Jiang Mao came out from the Concubine Lou with a cold face, Hu Hong hurriedly pushed down the sedan chair when he saw him coming out.
After asking the little eunuch next to him the reason, Hu Hong couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help feeling sorry for his prince.
Hu Hong felt that Concubine Lou had become more and more troublesome since she lived in the palace, and the empress who was also the old emperor died early, so no one cared about her, otherwise, could she be left alone
At this time, the emperor was about to die, and most of the empresses and concubines also went into hibernation, trying their best to win over the promising prince and fight for the throne. Concubine Lou was the only one struggling.
Concubine Lou didn't even think about it, she was driven to Cangzhou by the emperor a few years ago, why would no one object to her moving into the palace as soon as she returned to Beijing
——Isn't this the third prince who wants to use her to control the prince
She let it go without thinking about her son, and dragged the prince down everywhere. The third prince praised her bad feet, so she got close to the third prince, without thinking about who she relied on for her current life? It's not the prince. Her son
Now that the undercurrent is raging in Beijing, Concubine Lou has set her sights on a hot spring villa again, and wants the prince to buy it for her, saying that she will entertain all ministers and wives during the winter solstice.
The land price in the capital is already expensive, not to mention the hot spring villas near the capital, that is a lot of money! Although it's not that their lords can't afford the money, they can't just spend it to make her lose.
Sigh~ Concubine Lou dedicated her whole heart to the Buddha before, but it is obviously not like this now.
Hu Hong annoyed her, and Jiang Mao, a 'son', also annoyed her, but he couldn't ignore her, otherwise, the label of disobedience would definitely fall on his head.
"My lord, we're here."
Thinking of the people waiting for him at home, Jiang Mao stopped thinking about those troublesome things, he has more important things to do now, that is to have lunch with Su Qingbai, and tease his youngest son after the work is done.
The old housekeeper had been waiting for him for a long time, and greeted him as soon as he came back, "My lord, the Seventh Highness has come down."
Jiang Mao stopped immediately, he was a little displeased, and asked, "Where is Mr. Su?"
"Master Su has gone to the farm in the north of the city."
Jiang Mao immediately felt relieved, he had discussed with Su Qingbai last night, and planned to send some food to Cai Cai. On weekdays, he ordered his subordinates to take care of Su Caicai's life, and he didn't worry about anything else. It’s just that in ancient times, when winter comes, there is nothing to eat except cabbage and radishes. They are not very big, but they are extremely picky. They are afraid that they don’t want to eat radishes and cabbage, so they discussed it and sent someone to deliver a cart of vegetables. go.
Jiang Mao walked into the house, the old butler waited for him to leave, and immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare for cooking. Speaking of cooking, in fact, there is no need to prepare too much, just wash the vegetables, then cut everything, and then prepare some marinated meat. The bottom material of the hot pot is finished products, and Jiang Mao's shop sells them.
"Fourth brother, you're finally back?" Jiang Jun complained when he saw him come back, "I've been waiting for you to come back hungry, and I don't know how much tea I drank."
Jiang Mao sat down and said with a blank expression, "What can you do with me?" As for Jiang Jun, he didn't even bother to keep his usual polite smile. Listen.
"It's okay. We are brothers, do I have to find you if I have something to do?" Jiang Jun leaned over.
"Oh, that's it." Jiang Mao summoned the old housekeeper, "Go to the kitchen to make table dishes for His Royal Highness Seventh Prince, and remember to see off the guests after he finishes eating." Then he turned to Jiang Jun and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't entertain you gone."
Jiang Jun stared wide-eyed and watched Jiang Mao leave. He, the fourth brother, is it easy to talk? What about being gentle and polite
The old housekeeper watched from the side: it is your old man who is too thick-skinned.
Jiang Mao went to find Su Qingbai after eating a little.
After Jiang Mao finished eating for a while, Jiang Jun finished eating. After eating, he stayed and refused to leave, and wanted to stay for tea.
"The tea at Si Ge's house is really delicious."
The old butler had no choice but to send it off, he couldn't go away, so he had to stay with him.
"Uncle Liu—" Sitting chatting with Jiang Jun, suddenly a servant brought this woman over.
"What's the matter?"
"Uncle Liu, the new nanny is here."
"Nurse?" Before Butler Liu could speak, Jiang Jun looked at him suspiciously.
Turning around, Jiang Jun stared at the nanny again.
Butler Liu hurriedly explained, "It was because my nephew and daughter-in-law had no milk after giving birth, so I found a nanny outside."
Butler Liu had something to do, Jiang Jun didn't want to stay and disturb him, so he left.
Seeing that Jiang Jun was gone, the old housekeeper wiped his sweat, let out a long sigh of relief, and hurried to the backyard to settle down with the new nanny. A while ago, something happened to a nanny's house, so I found a new one.
It's snowing in the border town in winter.
Su Caicai has gradually gotten used to the life without parents, and he has become a little wild monkey like the children in the village.
A group of little buddies were playing snowball fights and making snowmen outside.
Su Caicai followed behind the older child, and accidentally squatted on her buttocks. He didn't cry when he fell, and continued to walk forward.
"Cai Cai, there are people coming to your house again." An old lady walked from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, and saw that the Su family came in a carriage again, and teased him as soon as she saw Su Caicai.
Su Caicai grinned suddenly.
Others didn't know the situation, only Su Caicai knew that it was another food delivery for him.
Su Caicai ran home excitedly.
"Oh, kid, the road is slippery, why are you running? Did you fall?" He hurriedly picked up the kid on the road.
"Wow wow wow..." This time it really hurt.
