The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

In the steaming tea soup, Xue Mingyue drank the tea brewed by the drizzle as she wished.

Her bright and clear apricot eyes were like glass, and there was a shimmering light in her light-colored eyes. She said with regret, "The rainwater in the capital tastes no different from the rainwater in Zhuangzi."

Princess Cen said warmly: "I think the tea brewed in Zhuangzi tastes sweeter."

The two of them sat under the eaves, listening to the patter of rain, holding freshly brewed tea in their hands.

In fact, this tea is no different from the tea brewed from well water.

Making tea also requires craftsmanship. Xue Mingyue's tea-making skills are average. Princess Cen knows tea, but she never thought of asking the old princess to make tea for herself, but she simply used this year's new tea.

It can make up for the lack of Xue Mingyue's craftsmanship in terms of taste.

Xue Mingyue tasted a cup one by one. The tea soup was sweet with a hint of astringency. She secretly pouted her mouth, looked at the old princess and asked: "Which one do you think is the best?"

Princess Cen casually ordered the teapot in the middle.

Xue Mingyue asked Liu Xing to keep the middle portion, and use the remaining two portions to boil milk drinks. She earnestly warned: "Remember to put more sugar."

Liu Xing couldn't help but snicker: "Yes, miss."

"Your teahouse has a good business. I heard that the Queen Mother in the palace has tasted the Lanxue tea in your shop. The Sixth Prince even sends people to the shop to buy it every day. Maybe even His Majesty has tasted it."

Smelling the sweet smell, Princess Cen lowered her head to take a sip of tea and glanced at her.

Xue Mingyue's eyes brightened slightly and she said modestly, "It's just a joke."

It was expected that the Empress Dowager drank it, but it was a pure accident that Emperor Jingping also drank it. Later, Li Nian had to seize this opportunity to promote it again, and strive to recoup the capital as soon as possible and open a second store.

She gathered up her cloak and looked at the drops of water dripping from the corners of the eaves.

It seems that since the rain last night, the temperature has suddenly dropped. From continuous drizzle to pouring rain, all the heat in this land has been washed away in the blink of an eye.

Xue Mingyue looked outside worriedly.

Calculating the time, it is only the beginning of October. At this time, farmers have just finished their autumn harvest and the crops they replanted have just begun to grow. But thinking about the cold wave in the near future, she had some doubts that this was a precursor to the cold wave.

She held the teacup and pressed her fingertips against the hot rim.

"Wuye, take people to see the conditions of the farmers and fields in the village, and then go to the surrounding villages to have a look. If there is anything you can do to help, please help."

"Yes, madam." Wu Ye responded.

"... By the way, I would like to remind them that there are some abnormalities this year and winter may come early, so let them prepare as early as possible."

After hesitating for a moment, Xue Mingyue still called out to him and warned him again.

Her expression was extremely solemn, and a trace of surprise flashed across Wu Ye's eyes quickly, but he quickly suppressed it and turned around to leave.

Ling Su's brows moved slightly and he glanced down at her.

When he saw Wu Ye's limping back, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

He pursed his lips slightly and suddenly said: "He is injured and is not familiar with the surroundings. I will go with him."

At this point, he paused, looked at her and said patiently: "Besides getting them ready for winter early, is there anything else I need to do?"

Xue Mingyue was startled and blinked at him.

"There's nothing else important. Let's check how the crops in the fields are growing for them. They won't be able to grow much if we wait for this weather. Also, if anyone is sick, you can bring Zhuangzi."

"I understand."

Ling Su exchanged tacit glances with her and nodded.

He didn't ask any more questions and walked outside, quickly catching up with Wu Ye.

Xue Mingyue laughed silently twice.

Princess Cen saw all the little moves of the two people, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Your sworn brother looks very brave. His name is Ling Su, right?"

"What books have you read? How many years have you been studying martial arts?"

As soon as he heard what she said, Xue Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she knew that there was something going on about letting Ling Su join the Dingyuan Army.

He quickly told everyone about Ling Su's situation.

Although Ling Su has been practicing martial arts with many martial arts masters over the years, he has never missed studying. Lou Zhizhang has cherished his talents since he was a child, and has been cultivating him to be a versatile person in both civil and military fields over the years.

Therefore, Ling Su always called him husband and regarded himself as a student.

No one in the mansion regarded him as a servant.

Xue Mingyue's eyes sparkled: "To tell you the truth, Ling Su is not actually from this side of the capital. The cold wave ten years ago caused the barbarians to go south and plunder, resulting in countless tragic deaths. He was lucky enough to survive and ended up here. .”

"He has been studying martial arts diligently these years because he wanted to go to the border to kill the barbarians and avenge his family."

Even though Ling Su didn't mention it, she and her grandfather could both see it.

That's why I didn't stop him from learning martial arts, nor did I dissuade him when he went to compete with others and came back injured.

Only then did Princess Cen realize that there was such a thing in the past. She didn't need Xue Mingyue to tell her what happened next. She could guess what happened. It was just a young man in trouble who admired the girl who had saved his life.

From the look on her face, you could tell that she didn't realize it at all.

But no one knows what will happen next.

Just send the person away as soon as possible.

Princess Cen lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, then chuckled and said, "Even Commander Lou is very optimistic about this disciple. We are lucky that the Dingyuan Army can absorb such a talent. I will give him a military token at that time. With this token, you can join the Dingyuan Army."

"Then I'll first thank my grandmother for my brother."

Xue Mingyue bent her eyes, smiled and saluted her.

Liu Xing brought the cooked cheese orchid snow tea.

"Grandma, please try this drink. This is Lao Li's newly improved formula. It's not particularly sweet when locked up. It goes well with snacks." Xue Mingyue took the initiative to pour a cup for the old princess.

Princess Cen smiled and said, "It's pretty good."

After helping that boy Jinglan so much, he had to be gentle with the uncles in the Dingyuan Army no matter what.

...

The rain gradually became heavier.

It rained all day without stopping, and the sky was groggy.

Xue Mingyue sat by the door with her hands on the stove and watched the rain. She looked through medical books boredly and yawned lazily.

For a while, I was thinking about whether all the fruits in the village had been picked, for a while, I was thinking about how Ling Su and the others were doing when they were out, and for a while, I was thinking about when my grandpa would come back. It’s getting cold and I’d like to have a pot for dinner...

"Miss! I heard about it!"

Just then, Liu Xing ran in panting.

Xue Mingyue immediately cheered up and asked Lidong to close the doors and windows, and several people sat together.

I saw Liu Xing carefully taking out a wrapped handkerchief from his sleeve.

A strong medicinal smell filled the air.

Liu Xing whispered: "This is the dregs of the medicine that the old princess has been drinking recently. According to what you said, miss, I took out a little of each. Please check if it is right."

Xue Mingyue looked at these medicine residues.

Thinking to herself, she really deserves to find ways to keep the old princess and Grandma Wang by her side during the day.
