Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 248
Jinhua had received a letter a long time ago and knew they were coming, and knew that they would be on the road in the beginning of spring, so she was counting the days when they would arrive in Liangzhou.She thought they would arrive in March, but who knew that from March to April, there was no news from them, which made her wait a little impatiently, and was afraid that something might happen to them on the way.Fortunately, she finally received the letter a few days ago, and now she was relieved when she heard the concierge report that a relative from Chang'an was visiting.

Chun Shui went outside to see that Zhuhua's family really came, so he quickly invited them in.On the way, she chatted with Zhuhua for a few days, and seeing that Miss San still had her original temper, she was very moved.

Afraid that their identities would cause trouble, Jinhua said that Zhuhua was her cousin, and only the old man who followed them in the house knew the true identity of Zhuhua's family.The other servants of the governor's mansion knew that the master and wife in the mansion rarely had relatives, even if it was only cousins, they were careful to wait on them.Zhuhua entered the house, and seeing Jinhua standing there in neat clothes, she realized that she was also a princess after all, and if she was serious, Mrs. Governor would have to salute her.

"Sister, why are you so polite, you still stand to welcome us." Zhuhua joked deliberately.

"I'm afraid I won't welcome you, and it will take you half a day to walk these few steps."

"Anyway, it's not tiring to walk slowly when you're free." Zhuhua said with a smile, seeing that Jinhua is more dignified in this prefecture than in the capital.

Jin Hua's upper body is a light green blouse with gold threaded peony, paired with a dark green emerald scatter-leaf skirt, and a gold peony hairpin inlaid with emeralds on her head. This craftsmanship seems to be different from Chang'an's.

"It can be seen that there are good things in Liangzhou."

"There are many good things, as long as you bring money."

"Then why do you only give some dried fruits as gifts in previous years, and you don't know what good things to give."

"Who knows what you like, there is nothing wrong with sending some dried fruit."

Zhuhua was helpless, and she didn't know when her sister was so able to answer the conversation.While talking, the servant served tea, Zhuhua saw that it was black tea, and the quality of drinking was not bad.

"This is a new black tea this year. If it were here, the green tea would be more expensive than the black tea, but the price in Chang'an Tea Market is not like this. Just try it, and if you think it's good, buy more when you go back."

"Buy? I thought you were going to give it to me."

"I can't afford to give this. If you like raisins and dried figs, I can send you a few carts."

Zhuhua shook her head when she heard this, knowing that she couldn't get anything cheap, she started to talk about other things.Jin Hua was actually quite curious about what they had seen and heard along the way, but they had just arrived, so she was not in a hurry to ask.After chatting for a while, she asked her servants to take them to a courtyard that had been tidied up long ago in the mansion. There were three big rooms in it, Zhuhua and his wife lived in one, Tuanyuanyuan lived in one, and Yuan Taihe's family lived in one.

In the evening, Zhuhua saw Qin Xin whom she hadn't seen for a long time. He was much older than she remembered, with white hair on his head.

"Brother-in-law, have you worked too hard these years?" Zhuhua couldn't help asking.

Jin Hua was taken aback when she heard that, and gave her a puzzled look, not understanding why she said that.Qin Xin looks old, but everyone will get old, isn't she also getting old, why Zhuhua singled out Qin Xin and said?It was only after hearing what she said, that she realized that as a wife, she was too careless about her husband's life, many trivial matters in the family were taken care of by Nanny Rong, and Nanny Rong would have to take care of her in the next few years Now, what will she do then?
Qin Xin didn't expect Zhuhua to still have such a temperament after being a princess for so long, so he laughed and said, "Do you think it's easy to be a governor?"

Zhuhua said nothing, but gave him a thumbs up.

After she entered Liangzhou Mansion, she obviously found that this place wants other prefectures on the side to prosper. The biggest manifestation is that the road is better than other places, and there are trees planted on both sides of the road. better than nothing.The people in Liangzhou seem to be richer than those in other places, and there are more students on the street. I heard that the academy that was opened in the state capital has taught several Jinshi in recent years, which has also mobilized the enthusiasm of the people to study for their families.

Yueyue is also studying in the academy in Fucheng now, and he doesn't like to learn from the husband at home.In order to avoid troubles due to his identity, he always went to study under the name of the son of a general in the governor's mansion. Anyway, few people knew that Jin Hua had a third son.After school, he saw Zhuhua's family and Yuantai coming. After seeing Li happily, he ran to Yuantai and chatted with him affectionately.

He has been close to Yuan Tai since he was a child, and his elder brother is a mischievous one, so he respects Yuan Tai even more in his heart.Since he returned to Liangzhou, he and Yuan Tai have been in correspondence, and Huanhuan and the others have also learned a lot about Yuan Tai from Yue Yue.When they first returned to Chang'an, they wanted to see if Yuan Tai was really as good as Yue Yue said, but after Hao Ming defeated them, their main hostile "target" became Hao Ming, so when Yuan Tai replaced them After venting their anger, they also admitted that Yuan Tai is indeed a powerful big brother.

Yue Yue pulled Yuan Tai to talk about many things about Liangzhou, even if he had said it in the letter, he couldn't help but say it again when he saw the real person.Yuan Tai has always loved this well-behaved brother very much. After seeing Huanhuan and Lele, he has been worried whether Yueyue was taught badly by them in Liangzhou.

Zhuhua was also relieved to see that Yueyue was still the same as before, and did not change as Lele grew up.

Both sides recounted the past, talked about the changes in Chang'an City, and also talked about the uniqueness of Liangzhou Prefecture.

The city of Liangzhou was divided into sixteen blocks. Although the government did not clearly stipulate where the Han people and foreigners had to live, the two sides still followed the old habits and gave up good places to the Han people.But now the number of foreigners living in the central area has also increased, and there are still several cases of intermarriage between Hu and Han in the city, and Erbao is the most prominent one.He wasn't in Fucheng at the moment, and couldn't come over for dinner, and his wife didn't come over to have a baby at home.

Even though there are more Hu Han intermarriages, such couples are still criticized, and their children are often excluded, and Qin Xin did not think of a good way to improve it.Most people are alienated, even if he can change their minds for a while, when the Han people and the Hu people fight again, the situation of these people will be beaten back to the original state.

After Zhuhua stayed in Liangzhou for a few days, she didn't feel the slightest sign of war here.Seeing people of different skin colors get along with each other friendly, she felt that this place was much more free and peaceful than Chang'an. She really didn't understand why the three monkeys insisted on returning to Chang'an.But soon, she discovered that the freedom she thought was very narrow, there are classes in different countries, and her freedom is also because she is in a relatively free class.

She doesn't have much time to think about these deep-seated problems, and most of the time she spends shopping on the street.She didn't understand why the golden flower selection ceremony didn't pick out some novelty items before. Some novelty items were obviously not expensive?Facing Zhuhua's question, Jinhua didn't know what to say. In fact, she always felt that Zhuhua's eyes for shopping were a bit strange, just like Yinhua's eyes for picking fabrics.

She remembered that Zhuhua bought all kinds of small gourd pendants when she was a child, but she never saw her wear them, and later heard that she gave them away.Could it be that she bought these to give away, who would like this?Jinhua really can't figure it out, but compared with Yinhua's devastating aesthetics, the things Zhuhua buys are still within the normal range.She didn't understand why she still wore the clothes Yinhua made for her back then, what happened to them at that time?
The merchants in the city saw that Mrs. Governor's relatives liked new things, and they also came to her intentionally. Some even sent things that had been accumulated in their hands for a long time, hoping that Zhuhua could buy them. Zhuhua also found a bag of vegetable seeds inside. , the other party said that this is the seed of a delicious vegetable with red roots and green leaves.Zhuhua didn't believe it at all, if this kind of seed was really so good, the other party wouldn't give it to her as a gift.

On the contrary, King Ping recognized this kind of seed after seeing it, and said, "This is probably the psittaca seed that the Nepalese envoy paid tribute to last year."

"Parrot dish?" Zhuhua seemed to have never heard of this kind of dish, so she asked, "Is it delicious?"

"The seeds were planted by Si Nong from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I don't know what the results will be."

When Zhuhua heard this, she couldn't help but say, "What if Si Nong discovers several crops that can greatly increase food production and has ambiguous intentions?"

"It's not so easy for him to come across it." King Ping said with a light smile, and he felt a sense of clarity in his heart. It seems that after returning to Chang'an, he has to find out what happened to those Si Nong who suddenly became wealthy. It's over.

"But since people have paid tribute, it shouldn't kill anyone. Let's go back and plant some to see if it tastes good."

"Okay." King Ping replied, but he still thought, when this vegetable grows out, it's better to let other people try it first, maybe someone will make a fuss with the tribute?

Later, Zhuhua thought that they didn't know when they would be able to go back, so she simply got a few flower pots and sprinkled a handful of seeds in it, to see if the seeds could still be planted.After a few days, buds really grew in the pots.Just looking at the buds, I really couldn't tell what kind of crop it was. It wasn't until nearly a month later that Zhuhua recognized it as spinach.

As a person who doesn't particularly like vegetables, Zhuhua only thinks that she hasn't eaten spinach for a long time when she sees spinach, and she really wants to eat it now.It's a pity that she hadn't eaten this dish yet, and a chicken that escaped from the kitchen pecked off a pot. Fortunately, she found it early, otherwise the other pots would be gone too.The chicken ended up being their dinner, as were the pots of spinach left over a few days later.

"This dish is not bad." Jin Hua said after tasting the spinach.

Zhuhua nodded and said, "I'm just looking for a businessman to bring some seeds. It's best to bring some of all kinds of seeds. Maybe there will be some novel ones. We can sell them at a high price because of the freshness."

When Yuanyuan heard this, she immediately raised her head and looked at her mother with admiration. She knew that Zhuhua had a shop selling dolls. At that time, she thought that her mother was very powerful. She never thought that her mother could think of other businesses. This is too clever.

"Mom, I want to plant too." She said immediately.

"How do you plant it, where is the land, who will take care of it, and how will you guard against it if someone steals it?" Zhuhua asked amusedly.

"I can plant in the yard where I live."

"It's not enough to grow at home, let alone sell it for money."

"Things are rare and expensive."

"No matter how expensive a dish is, there is an upper limit. Do you think that everyone else is the second generation ancestor, waiting for you to cut their meat?" Zhuhua said, but she thought of something else, and said, "You might as well study how to grow medicinal herbs since you were young. This is more profitable than growing vegetables.”

Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly and said, "I want to learn."

"Before that, recite the types of herbs, and get familiar with some words related to herbs."

"I know." Even though she understood that Zhuhua was increasing her burden of literacy, Yuanyuan still agreed.

Mrs. Yao's eyes lit up when she heard it. In fact, when Yuanyuan knows about various herbs, she can teach her how to prepare poisons, but she can't teach this, so she has to rely on Mr. Wu Guogong to come forward and hire a good master.If Zhuhua is willing to come forward to ask Wu Guogong, Wu Guogong will definitely help, but it is not easy to persuade Zhuhua who has always been soft-hearted.

Zhuhua didn't know that she still had a soft-hearted image in Lady Yao's heart, she always thought that she was quite hard-hearted.

Soon after arriving in Liangzhou, Zhuhua met the rumored Wendy.Well, it can't be said that he is not handsome, his facial features are indeed handsome, but he is a little fat now, probably because the food here suits his taste too much.He glanced at Zhuhua and said she was Jinhua's younger sister. In terms of facial features, Zhuhua and Jinhua were indeed very similar, but Zhuhua was petite and always smiling, giving people a kind of well-behaved feeling; Jinhua was tall. The shoulders are also broad, and he is serious, and he looked fierce at first.

Even if someone told him that Mrs. Cheng, who had just come to Liangzhou, was just Jinhua's cousin, he would make another gift from Jinhua and give it to Zhuhua.This made King Ping vigilant, who knows if this foreigner will turn to Zhuhua, who is similar to Jinhua, after failing to pursue Jinhua.

Zhuhua was also very vigilant, although there weren't any incomprehensible girls in the Governor's Mansion to show courteousness to King Ping, but there were outside the Governor's Mansion.There are many beautiful orchids who will attract customers on the street, and many merchants have spent a year's hard work on them.But for a man as elegant and elegant as King Ping, they would be willing to accompany him even if he didn't pay.

When Zhuhua and King Ping went out on the street, seeing their enthusiasm for him, she didn't want him to accompany her on the street again.But King Ping insisted on accompanying her.How can we not accompany him, don't think he doesn't know, there are quite a few men outside who will stare at Zhuhua.Although Zhuhua is 30 years old and the mother of three children, she is petite and well-maintained, her skin is fair and firm, and she does not look like she has given birth at all from her appearance.

Zhuhua herself didn't feel this way, she was fatter now than before she got married, and she couldn't lose weight no matter what.She simply comforted herself that it would be okay to be a little fatter, as if she was being cute, but middle-aged fat is middle-aged fat, and it's useless to pretend.
