[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] Eldest sister can't help

This year's first snow came very late, and it didn't fall until the end of November.

Whenever the snowflakes are flying in winter, it is the best time for sapphire to practice. At this time last year, because she just got Hongzhang, it was a time of fresh joy, so she became a little tired and lazy, so after this year, her cultivation Because there is no benefit at all.Therefore, this year she originally planned to practice behind closed doors, trying to enter the eighth level of Qi training.

It's just that she didn't expect the snow to come so late this winter, resulting in little improvement in her cultivation.

"Master, why did you come back so early today? But what's the matter?" Qingyu looked up at the Western clock, it was only a little past ten o'clock. In the past, Yinzhen would only return home when it was close to twelve o'clock.

Yinyu smiled: "There are not many things to deal with at the Zongren Mansion. I will come back first. And I don't have to go there this afternoon. By the way, we will not eat at the mansion today. Go to Brother Jiu's Fumanlou. Listen It is said that there is a new chef from the south, and his skills are very good, even better than those of the royal chefs in the palace. If we have such ample free time, let's go and try something new." Said his eyes. From the corner of his eye, he carefully looked at Qingyu, observing her expression.

It is very difficult to find authentic Huaiyang cooks in the capital. When they moved here with their family, they brought a few cooks with them, but Lin Ruhai, Lin Jinyu, and Lin Daiyu were not very used to the capital. dishes.Although she likes food, she doesn't like the bland Huaiyang dishes the most.So when she got married, among the dowry staff, there was no cook.As for the cooks in the palace, if they can be selected to be cooks in the palace, their craftsmanship will not be inferior there, but what they are good at is mainly the dishes here in the capital, and they are not very good at Huaiyang cuisine. I understand that even if there is a recipe, the taste is not very authentic.Therefore, when I heard Yinxuan's words today, I was stunned for a while, and then a look of joy appeared on my face: "Okay!" Speaking of which, she hasn't eaten Huaiyang cuisine for a while, so she naturally misses it a little. .

"But shall we take Xun'er there together?" Seeing the thin and dense snow floating outside, Qingyu asked hesitantly.

Yinyu was well aware of Qingyu's worry and said: "Naturally. Of course, Fujin doesn't have to worry about the weather outside. Although it is snowing lightly today, the weather is not too cold. When you go out, wrap your son tightly, and the carriage is also Let them make it warmer, it should be okay if you think about it, Yu Zhi read the full text." And he also knows that in Fujin's heart, his position is definitely not as good as that of Xun'er, and it is absolutely impossible for Fujin to leave Xun'er behind. possible things.

"En. I'll let Emerald Pearl and the others go down to prepare. When the time comes, we'll go out there." Qingyu nodded and said.

……

Since they were going there with Hongzheng, they naturally prepared more things. By the time Qingyu Yinxuan and the others were ready to leave, it was already 11:30.

Although the snowflakes at this time did not become larger, they fell more tightly, like a white rain.The roads in the capital city had already accumulated a considerable layer of snow, and the wheels of the carriage slammed on it, making a creaking sound.

"It's really a nice weather!" For her, it was a waste to not use this kind of weather for cultivation.

Hearing this, Yinyu was taken aback: "How can this kind of weather be called good weather? It would be fine if the snow stopped tomorrow. If not, with this kind of snow falling for two or three days, the capital city will be destroyed." I don’t know how many poor families will suffer from it.” Every winter brings some bad news because of the heavy snow, although there are no civilian casualties.But suffering and freezing are unavoidable.

When Qingyu heard Yinyu's words, she was stunned for a moment: "Yes! This kind of weather is really not good weather." Compared with her, this kind of weather is indeed a rare weather for cultivation, and the aura is also in this season, which is rare Intensify it.But for those people, especially those poor people, this kind of weather is what they don't like the most.As early as seven or eight years ago, there was even a snow disaster because of the heavy snowfall. Many people were frostbitten, and even a child and an old man were frozen to death.

Later, their family came to the capital. After she heard about this, she suggested to Lin Ruhai that every early winter, let people make some preparations early to prevent these things from happening.Of course, she just made a suggestion, how to do it?How to do?It's all about Lin Ruhai.Although she didn't know what kind of measures Lin Ruhai had taken?There have been no casualties since.And it was only at that time that she realized that good merit is equivalent to spiritual power. Although it cannot be used for cultivation, it can be used to strengthen one's cultivation.

Coming to Fumanlou again, Qingyu couldn't help but marvel at Brother Jiu's money-making ability.Her Royal Merchant Baylor is really not a fake.In such a bustling and bustling street, he was able to arrange a paradise.When she came last time, it was just a slightly luxurious restaurant!But this time there was a 180-degree turn.

It is said that Brother Jiu spent a lot of money to buy all the houses on the half street behind Fumanlou, opened them up, and then asked craftsmen to come over and remodel them.The front of Fumanlou hasn't changed much, it's still the same as the last time she came here.And all the backyards were changed into small yards, which were also named after flowers, and then arranged according to the names.As for the last vacant area, a large area of ​​red plum blossoms was planted, and in this red plum blossom forest, three exquisite and small thatched cottages were built in each of the five directions.Although it doesn't show much on the outside, the inside is very elegant.As a guest in winter, you can enjoy the snow, the scenery and the red plums, while eating hot pot and various delicacies, which is the most beautiful thing.It is very popular with the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and the queues are already full before winter begins.

When he arrived at Fuman Tower, a special servant came up to greet him, led him to the back, got on a soft sedan chair, and went out towards the backyard.

The room in the middle of Merlin was specially reserved by Brother Jiu for his own use.Before Yinyu came over, he had already greeted Brother Nine, so naturally there was a steward leading them there.

Speaking of this, I have to mention Brother Jiu's current situation.

The ninth elder brother Yinzhen was originally a member of the eighth elder brother's party, and he had always stood in the opposite faction of the current Emperor Yongzheng. Before Yongzheng ascended the throne, the ninth elder brother did not know how much trouble was added to Yongzheng. ?How many stumbling blocks did you make?Although it wasn't a big deal, those little things made Yongzheng feel very troubled, until Yongzheng ascended the throne as emperor, although the eight princes and the party were not driven out to kill Kangxi because of his face, they were still suppressed by Yongzheng. Light, basically if you want to turn around in this life, one word: difficult.

The tenth elder brother is now the king of Dunjun. Although he was named the king of the county, Yongzheng found an excuse to call him to guard the imperial tomb. As for the eighth elder brother himself, although he was named the prince of Lian, he is now at home. , without any errands, was shelved by Yongzheng and became an idle royal family member.However, Kangxi, who was already the Supreme Emperor, did not express any opinion on this.

And the ninth elder brother, who is also part of the eighth elder brother's party, has often made trouble for Yongzheng in the past?Because he was born to be an expert in making money, more than half of the money that the eighth elder brother got when he was fighting for the throne was provided by the ninth elder brother.However, after Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, Brother Nine, although his canonized title was lower than that of all his brothers, he was only a Dorobel.But he retreated from the bureau safely.He is still the romantic and wealthy ninth elder brother.Moreover, the business has grown bigger and bigger this year, and it has developed at a remarkable speed.

According to Qingyu's visual inspection, as long as someone mentions anything related to Brother Jiu, Yongzheng will definitely be very concerned!

"It's so beautiful!" After reaching the hut, she got off the sedan chair.Qingyu couldn't help but sighed in admiration.

In the fine white snow, the red plum blossoms blooming in full bloom, at a glance, like the waves of the sea, reflecting a dazzling red in the snow-white sky, people can't help but be intoxicated by it.

Yinyu nodded: "Ninth brother has always been more clever than others, especially when it comes to making money. This red plum grove was planted under his own orders." Ninth brother is called Poisonous Snake Nine.When the battle between the fourth brother and the eighth brother reached a fever pitch, the ninth brother added a lot of trouble to them.Even now, mentioning Brother Nine still has the meaning of gnashing one's teeth.But I can't do anything to him, not to mention how frustrated I am.

"Er Niang, Piao... Piao..." Hong Xun also blinked his big black eyes, obviously very happy.

Qingyu took him from Fei Cui's embrace, and kissed him on the small face: "Xue Tuan also thinks it's very beautiful, right?" The air is filled with a richer aura than other places, and this place is a rare place. It's a pity that she can't practice now.

Because it is the first time for Hongxuan to come out, his mood is extremely high now, and his excitement is beyond expression. A small face that looks like Yinxuan is full of excitement and curiosity.

Qingyu saw that Hongxuan was so happy, so she hugged him and played by the window for a while, and they didn't stop playing until the food came one after another.The windows here are wide open, so of course there is no need to worry about air-conditioning coming in through the windows.The window is inlaid with western glass, which is transparent and flawless.Can see the scenery outside the window at a glance.

"Okay, I'll play with you later, Erniang. Shall we have dinner first?" He nodded with a smile on the forehead of Hongxun who obviously didn't want to leave the window.

Hiroshi nodded reluctantly.

Soft pocket long fish, braised silver carp head, crystal meat, Wensi tofu, three sets of duck, hot dry shredded, Wenlou soup buns, and stewed lion head with crab noodles.They are all standard Huaiyang specialties, especially the last stewed crab meat lion head, which is the most troublesome to prepare.The thick soup in it was made last night with old chicken soup, and then abalone, mushrooms, ham and some nourishing and nourishing medicinal materials were used in it. Clear soup like white water.

This meal, Qingyu ate very happily.It's really rare to eat such authentic Huaiyang cuisine, and the taste is also unique, no wonder Yinyu said that this cook's craftsmanship is better than that of the royal chef in the palace.

After dinner, my own waiter scalded the leftovers away.Go to Huaiyang's special melon and fruit snacks and wait for it.The whole family sat down by the window that had been baked on the Kang Kang, enjoying the rare leisure time at this moment.
