In fact, she was not surprised that Huangfu Jin was going to Qinglian County. It is impossible for a person like him to stay in Qingyang Town all the time. But she wondered why today when she told him that she was going to Qinglian County with Mrs. Li early in the morning, why didn't he indicate at all that he would go tomorrow too
Could it be that there was some secret operation that Huangfu Jin deliberately hid from her? But that's impossible, because Lao Liu told her about it today.
Lin Fuying really can't figure it out, but her character is also considered open-minded, since she can't figure it out, she doesn't think about it.
The carriage moved fast, but steadily, and arrived at the new house in the town in less than a quarter of an hour. After getting off the carriage, Lin Fufu did not go directly into the house, but went directly to the house after talking to Lao Liu. the market.
The evening market in the vegetable market has not yet ended, and vegetables can still be bought now.
But now that the weather is getting colder and colder, it is difficult to see green vegetables even in the vegetable market. After Lin Fufu passed by, he just bought some tofu, dried tofu, and slaughtered live chicken, pork and other meat dishes.
She really planned to cook a big meal to thank Huangfu Jin, all sincerity was sufficient.
Although Huangfu Jin bit him today, she is not a caring and overthinking character.
So Huangfu Jin was surprised for a while when she saw the vegetables she bought back. After all, he had offended her today, thinking that it would be fine if she didn't let him eat dry pancakes tonight, and bought so many vegetables so generously.
Huangfu Jin's eyes flickered, could it be because he was going to Qinglian County tomorrow, so he made a sumptuous dinner for him
At this time, Huangfu Jin automatically excluded Duanmucheng and Lao Liu...
Lin Fufu gave the meat dishes to Lao Liu and asked him to wash them, while he started to wash the vegetarian dishes. After cleaning, he tied up his apron and began to chop the vegetables. Huangfu Jin saw that she was busy with work, and went to the pot and sat with her brocade robe Looking at Lin Fufu on the small bench in front of the stove, he asked, "Do you want to light the fire now?"
Only then did Lin Fufu notice that he was sitting on the small bench by the fire with the hem of his robe lifted. Seeing that he was asking serious questions, he couldn't help but have black lines all over his head.
Immediately put down the kitchen knife in his hand, wiped his hands on the apron, walked to him, pulled him up, and looked at him with a frown, "My son, how can you be a nobleman who can light a fire, isn't it?" It's fun, don't make trouble for me, just stay and go."
Let people like Huangfu Jin set the fire on fire? From his usual words and deeds, you can feel that he has never done any work. Can he make a good fire
Don't burn down her new house...
Besides, she couldn't bear to let such a clean-dressed, beautiful man cook with a fire.
Well, in modern terms, he's only in charge of the beautiful.
"Haha, girl, you are underestimating my grandfather. My grandfather is very good at making fires. Let me tell you that his roasted whole lamb is a masterpiece!" The sixth child heard Lin Fufu said that his master's son can't light fires. Immediately, he laughed out loud, and when he thought of the whole lamb roasted by the master, his saliva almost drools.
When Lin Fufu heard about the roasted whole lamb, her mouth watered a bit. She actually likes to eat lamb, especially the roasted whole lamb. In her previous life, she ate it once when she rarely traveled to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia.
After eating it once, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime. She never thought that Huangfu Jin would roast a whole lamb, and hearing Lao Liu swallowing her saliva, she didn't doubt the authenticity of Lao Liu's words.
After all, Lao Liu is an extreme foodie, his mouth is actually the most tricky, and he can tell whether it is delicious or not when he tastes it.
For the roasted whole lamb that he admires so much, I hope that Huangfu Jin can really generously roast it for her to eat in the future.
Lin Fufu's mind was spinning fast, and it was all about the roasted whole sheep, but Lao Liu saw that she was silent for a long time, and thought she didn't believe what he said, so he promised: "Girl, don't believe it, we will let us You will know when I roast the whole lamb for you, it will definitely give you a real treat!"
"Oh, by the way, our grandfather roasted the whole lamb. From the fire to the roasting, to the seasoning, he never let anyone interfere. He did it all by himself. Do you think our grandfather can cook the fire?" added.
"I believe it, I believe it." Lin Fufu said with a smile.
"Talking." Huangfu Jin glanced at the sixth child, and then said to Lin Fufu: "Don't worry, I won't do things I'm sure of."
Now that this was the point, Lin Fufu had no choice but to let him go. The dried tofu was about to be cut, and he would cut a few more autumn peppers later to put it in the pot.
"Then start the fire, I'll add some oil to the pot now." Lin Fufu was still a little worried, and said: "My lord, if you really don't know how to do it, don't force it."
Huangfu Jin gave Lin Fufu a reassuring look, then reached out and took some dry firewood into the stove, then rolled the dry white thatch into a ball, put it under the dry firewood in the stove, and then took out the flint, Ignite and ignite in one go.
After a while, the smell of ginger and garlic bursting out in the kitchen.
Only then did Lin Fufu feel relieved to let Huangfu Jin set the fire on fire.
So one is on the hearth and the other is under the hearth. Two and two match, seamless.
There is a warm and natural atmosphere rising in the kitchen...
For the last dinner, Lin Fufu cooked seven dishes and one soup.
They are fried tofu with chili, mapo tofu, braised pork, braised pork trotters, big plate chicken, saliva chicken, fried peanuts and pork ribs radish soup.
After having a very enjoyable dinner, Lin Fufu's opinion of Huangfu Jin changed slightly.
In any case, Huangfu Jin is sometimes condescending, and sometimes he is unreasonable and outrageous, but at least he can roast whole lamb, and he can cook whole lamb for his subordinates to eat, he is considered a good nobleman.
Well, when it comes to women, he is not casual, he just didn't look at that charming lady Yue that day.
When thinking of this question, Lin Fufu froze, and then blushed, she didn't care if he saw what a woman was doing
"You have to be on your guard against your uncle's eldest cousin."
When Lin Fufu's face was blushing, Huangfu Jin glanced over. After seeing her little face turning suspiciously red, he was also surprised.
This girl hasn't been drinking, why is she blushing
Is it because the soup is too hot
Seeing Huangfu Jin looking over, Lin Fufu immediately lowered his head, pondered his words carefully, and raised his head again, "Huh, you're talking about Lin Dalang? What's wrong with him?"
If she remembered correctly, Huangfu Jin had said something similar to this twice in front of her.
"That's a white-eyed wolf, cruel and daring. Such a person will either be unlucky and be beaten to death, or lucky enough to become a hero. I see that you have a bad impression of him, so I advise you to be on guard against him." Huangfu Jin thought of that Lin Dalang, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"Pfft..." Seeing his bad luck and being beaten to death, Lin Fufu laughed out loud, "I don't just have a bad opinion of him, I'm really tired of him. It's also a crime, my uncle's family Except for my third cousin and the second cousin who went out to be an apprentice, everyone in the family is difficult. I stay as far away from them as I can."
Huangfu Jin nodded. He has many things to do, and he can't send someone to monitor the people around her all the time. It's good for this girl to stay away from those relatives who are good to her.
Because Lin Fufu will get up early tomorrow, he will wash up early at night and go to bed.
When the cock crowed three times on the second day, Lin Fufu hurriedly got up, packed up his clothes, brought two hundred silver bills, and carried a medicine box with dozens of taels of silver and a large handful of coins in his purse. Arrived outside the gate.
At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and there were still a few sporadic cold stars shining in the night sky.
The dew was heavy, it condensed into frost, and it was very cold.
The late autumn in the north was a bit colder than the cold winter in the south. Lin Fufu stamped his feet on the ground and breathed out with his hands.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Li family's carriage to come slowly.
When the car stopped, Mrs. Li opened the curtain of the carriage and greeted Lin Fufu, "Come up quickly, it will take about noon to go to the county, so come up and sleep."
After the carriage came to a complete stop, another Mrs. Jiang beside Mrs. Li came down and helped her into the carriage.
Mrs. Li was wearing a sky-blue sable fur cloak after the rain, with warm covers in her hands, and a brightly colored woolen blanket from Beirong was draped over her legs.
Seeing that Lin Fufu got into the carriage and sat firmly, Mrs. Li told Jiang's mother, "Take out the woolen blanket I prepared for Miss Lin and cover it with Miss Lin."
Jiang's mother answered with a smile, took out the folded square and colorful blanket, shook it out, and then gently laid it on Lin Fufu's chest.
"This woolen blanket is warm, but the color is too flowery and not elegant enough." Mrs. Li laughed.
"The people of Beirong are simple and enthusiastic, and it's understandable to like such colorful and complicated patterns." Lin Fufu reached out and touched the wool blanket. Not only is the workmanship excellent, but the most important thing is that it is very warm.
It's the color, it's really too fancy, and like Mrs. Li, she likes elegant and simple colors.
Thinking of this, Lin Fuxing's eyes suddenly lit up. One side of the soil and water nurtures the other side. The Beirong people like that, and the Great Wei people like this. This is normal, but the Beirong people can also make the Great Wei people. Come to the product you like, just like this wool blanket, you can completely match it to your liking, make elegant and exquisite wool blankets with patterns and colors, and sell them to the people of Wei!
Especially the aristocratic ladies of Wei, they will definitely like the beautiful, delicate and warm woolen blankets!
Lin Fufu thought for a while and asked Mrs. Li, "But madam, don't the Beirong people also weave the wool blankets that we Dawei people like?"
Mrs. Li laughed and scolded, "The barbarians from Beirong are stubborn and face-saving. It's okay not to buy his woolen blankets, but if they say his woolen blankets are not good, they can chase you for a few streets. Who dares to let them buy them?" Weaving the kind of elegant and delicate woolen blankets that we Dawei people like."
In other words, Beirong people only weave their favorite woolen blankets and sell them.
If she could convince Huangfu Jin to find a way to weave woolen blankets of the same color and pattern that the noble women of Great Wei liked, and then sell them to the noble women of Great Wei, wouldn't she be able to earn a lot of money again
However, this was her idea. As for whether Huangfu Jin would like to earn this money, that was his business. Anyway, she had no way to earn this money.
Lin Fufu put this idea aside and asked Mrs. Li with a smile, "Is everything arranged at Madam's house?"
Mrs. Li nodded, tightened the warm mugs in her hands, leaned against the big gray-white pillow, and said with a smile: "It's all arranged, but in fact there is nothing arranged. My master has a maid, and I don't worry about Li Yi taking care of me. The three children have already been taken to the Li family's ancestral house. As for business matters, there are capable managers in charge, so there is nothing to worry about. My master will be very happy that I can visit Look at my sister-in-law, she said she is guarded by her natal sister-in-law, so there is no need for my sister-in-law to be afraid."
After a pause, he continued: "The Li family is a big family, and there are many sisters-in-law of mine. I'm afraid not many will come to my sister-in-law's house in Qinglian County. Even if I go, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay for long. Because It’s convenient, I can go for a longer time, but it’s good for me.”
Lin Fufu thought about it carefully, and felt that Mrs. Li was right.
Regardless of whether the Li family's little aunt has a smooth delivery or not, Mrs. Li can stay with her for half a month, and the old man of the Li family will be grateful for her kindness when he knows it, and he is even more satisfied with her. It must be that the knot in his heart decades ago has been resolved. not necessarily.
Lin Fufu and Mrs. Li were sleepy after talking for a while, so they fell asleep on their side.
It was almost noon when Lin Fufu opened his eyes again.
Mrs. Li may be a bit older, she woke up too early and was too tired to recover, so she was still sleeping.
Mother Jiang also snored softly on one side.
In this matter, the Li family's carriage was already driving in the outskirts of Qinglian County.
Lin Fufu opened the curtain of the carriage, and it was a green and faint wheat field. Lin Fufu watched the wheat seedlings grow wantonly under the sunshine and breeze, and stretched out his head and took a deep breath.
The air is filled with the fragrance of wheat seedlings.
"Girl, girl!"
Lin Fufu was startled again when he heard this familiar voice, and looked at the back of the carriage, followed by the carriage that Lao Liu was driving when Lao Liu picked her up in the second half of the day yesterday.
Could it be that Huangfu Jin was also in that carriage
That carriage looked extremely ordinary, not even half of the carriage that Mrs. Li was riding in.
However, Lin Fufu could also think that perhaps Huangfu Jin traveled in this inconspicuous carriage just to avoid the sight of interested people.
Lin Fufu smiled and waved to Lao Liu.
Seeing that she saw him, Lao Liu waved to her with a silly smile.
"Master, the girl saw me, so she should know that you are also in this carriage." Lao Liu explained to Huangfu Jin, who was reading a book on one side, without further ado.
Huangfu Jin hummed lightly, and was used to the idiot like Lao Liu.
"I don't know if the girl can guess whether the master fell behind their carriage to protect her..."
"She doesn't need to know, and she doesn't need to be protected. Sitting in the Li family's carriage, at least the bandits of this generation in Qinglian County dare not attack the Li family." Huangfu Jin said lightly.
The sixth child's eyes widened, he looked at his master in confusion, and thought speechlessly: Since you know that the girl does not need our protection, why did the coachman slowly fall behind their carriage
Their horse looks ordinary, but it is one of the most precious steeds in Beirong that can run for eight hundred miles day and night, okay
After passing through the suburbs of Qinglian County, it took less than a quarter of an hour to drive to the county of Qinglian County.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Lin Fufu felt something different.
There was a turmoil of people, and it was very lively.
She lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage again, and looked at the appearance of the people in Qinglian County.
Seeing this, I was taken aback.
The streets of the county seat are full of people. Although it is not a huge crowd, they are in groups of threes and twos, and there is an endless stream.
This shocked Lin Fufu. She never thought that it was just a county on the border of the Great Wei Dynasty. Even if she had the opportunity to exchange markets, it would be too prosperous, right
"Is it very lively?" Mrs. Li just woke up at this time, seeing Lin Fufu looking out from the curtain of the carriage, she asked her with a smile.
Lin Fufu turned around, "Madam is awake, did you sleep well?"
"Slept too deeply, the carriage jolted, and I didn't even know I woke up." Mrs. Li pinched her face with her hands and said with a smile.
Lin Fufu smiled. The carriage wasn't jolting too much, it was like a cradle, and it was normal if he couldn't wake up.
"Qinglian County was actually the number one county in the Great Wei Dynasty by people from other counties, but they just didn't dare to let the court know." Mrs. Li smiled, pointing to the shops outside and said: "Over the years, because of the mutual market It doesn't matter, anyone with some foundations will come to the county to do business, and then buy houses and shops, and take over the whole family. Therefore, the population of Qinglian County is increasing, and the amount of taxes paid by these merchants every year is also huge! "
Lin Fufu thought to himself: Since the amount of taxes paid is huge, how can we hide the prosperity of Qinglian County from the imperial court? If it was concealed, then the officials colluded with each other and embezzled the taxes paid by the merchants.
And if the officials colluded with each other and no one in the court exposed it, there could only be two reasons, either someone was behind it, or the Wei's official administration was rotten from the inside out.
But no matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for the people of Qinglian County.
Lin Fufu's lips tightened unknowingly, even though she knew that those people didn't care about her little commoner...
"Hey, across the street ahead is the Zhou Mansion." Mrs. Li also lifted the curtain of the car to look at the road, and suddenly pointed to a fork in the road and said to Lin Fufu.
Lin Fufu smiled and nodded.
When they reached the gate of the Zhou Mansion, the coachman of the Li family got out of the car and explained his purpose to the guard at the Zhou Mansion.
The young man squinted at the Li family's carriage driver, then at the Li family's carriage, and said condescendingly: "If that's the case, wait, I'll report to the officials!"
The boy's voice was very loud, both Lin Fufu and Mrs. Li could hear clearly, didn't it mean that the Zhou Mansion was a real scholarly family, and there were many masters in the mansion, many of them became officials? Why are the servants of the Zhou Mansion so unruly
Lin Fufu looked at Mrs. Li, and he was a little skeptical about how Mrs. Li said that the sister-in-law of the Li family was favored and respected in her husband's house.
Mrs. Li's complexion was no longer good-looking, and her charming face was tense.
Jiang's mother was also too scared to speak out.
But I had to wait in the carriage and wait for the boy to report.
Lin Fufu looked at Mrs. Li worriedly, seeing the Zhou family's attitude towards Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li wanted to arrange for her to see Li's sister-in-law, but it might not go so smoothly...
