who said you were poor

Until seeing the prince and concubine going out in down vests, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and bought the down jacket from Lin's Cloth Shop at a high price.

You don’t know if you don’t wear it, but you find out when you put it on, what is ugly?With such a good thing, who cares whether it is ugly or not.

Soon, there was a wave of buying down jackets among the wealthy households in the twelve cities in the north, but the number of ducks was really limited. If they went to the south of the Yangtze River to get the duck down and shipped it to the north, the winter would be over in the mountains and roads.

Therefore, in the first year when the down jacket came out in this era, it was priceless and almost became a symbol of the status of the upper class in the north.

And the two behind-the-scenes big bosses took the money they earned and started another business.

This year's Northern Territory is exceptionally different from previous years.

Some unoccupied and vacant houses gradually became lit. Cloth and cotton were transported into Baicheng, and they were made into cotton clothes and sent to Twelve Cities.

Part of the remaining military pay was bought for charcoal fire, and part of it was distributed as wages to the common people who came to make clothes.

The winter in the northern border is no longer endless white, and the people seem to have a new way of life.

What is even more gratifying is that when Yan Cang inspected the Baicheng granary, he found a large amount of soybeans accumulated in the warehouse.

At this time, soybeans have not yet been discovered to be used for oil extraction, and are only ground into powder as an edible staple food.

Most of the edible oil in the Wu Dynasty was animal oil. Although sesame oil had been introduced into the Wu Dynasty, due to the complicated process and difficult cultivation, only the princes and nobles were eligible to eat it.

Not to mention animal oil, the common people may not be able to eat oil several times a year.

The deposited soybeans in the warehouse let Yan Cang find a new way out for the northern border.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the 35th year of Chengde, the first oil press workshop in Baicheng in the north opened.

By the day before New Year's Eve, in just one month, oil mills had opened in twelve cities.

The main purpose of Yan Cang and his oil shop was not to make money from the common people. The common people brought their own beans to squeeze the oil, and they all charged a low price for the manual fee.

Even so, the several oil workshops have basically been operating day and night this month, bringing a lot of income to the Beizhan Palace.

This made many merchants in the city move their minds and wanted to come to get a share of the pie.

Until the evening before New Year's Eve, Lin Nuo was still busy reading this month's account book with the shopkeeper. Yan Cang, who couldn't wait for Lin Nuo for a long time, had to come to the study in person to welcome his princess, who had forgotten to eat and sleep, back to his house.

It was late at night, and apart from the patrolling soldiers, there were only watchmen on the street, and there were no traces of pedestrians.

The businesses and residents on both sides of the road also turned off their lights.

Yan San carried a lantern and walked in front of the two of them, while Yan Cang and Lin Nuo walked side by side, chatting about family affairs.

Yan Cang complained intentionally, "Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve for family reunion. I have pity on my cruel husband-in-law who doesn't go home every day."

Yan San, who was walking in front of him, couldn't help but took two quick steps forward.

After staying with him for so long, Lin Nuo couldn't tell that Yan Cang was deliberately teasing him again.

"Oh? Maybe it's because this prince is not easy to raise, and he wants this husband to go out to work every day."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head slightly to look at Yan Cang, and both of them laughed as they met each other.

Today is a sunny day with no clouds, and the stars in the sky are twinkling at night, and the Big Dipper falls directly above their heads.

Lin Nuo looked up at the stars above his head, and his pace slowed down a bit, and Yan Cang didn't urge him to look up to the sky with him.

"I don't know if Master Jianzheng has made a divination. Next year, the weather in my northern border will be prosperous."

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year. Even if Mr. Jianzheng didn't take this divination, next year in the northern border will be a good harvest year."

"Then I will borrow a good word from the princess."

"My lord loves me."

Yan San: I am redundant.

Finally, on New Year's Eve, there is no one who has no eyesight and comes to the palace to bother the princess.

It snowed again in the middle of the night, and everyone in the yard had already cleared the snow when they got up early in the morning, and Yan Wu's child Xinxing still built two piles of snowmen in the yard.

When Lin Nuo woke up, he heard the bustle and bustle in the yard. As soon as he got dressed and went out, he saw Yan Shou holding a fox skin around the snowman's neck.

"You've been wearing it for a year, what's wrong with wearing it for a snowman for two days?"

"Why don't you take out your own! Oh yes, you don't, you can't hunt it."

"You are amazing, and you don't lack this one, so let's wear it for this snowman. I think it looks pretty. Qingzhu, don't you think it looks good?"

Qing Zhu took a serious look at it foolishly, "It's really pretty."

As soon as this was said, the two started arguing again, and a scarf was snatched around in the yard.

Lin Nuo stood aside and watched the excitement, but when Yan Cang found it, his hands were a little cold.

"Both of them have been messing around here all morning. You should be hungry. Let's go eat first."

Feeling the warmth from Yan Cang's hand, Lin Nuo was led by him and walked along the corridor to the dining room.

Both sides of the promenade have been replaced with red lanterns, and red papers have been pasted on the pillars. When the two of them were seen walking in the courtyard, they all said auspicious words of joy.

Before the meal, the ancestors had to be worshipped. It was not Yan Cang's turn to think about the royal family's ancestors. Instead, he simply placed the tablet of Lin Nuo's mother Sun's family in the ancestral hall, and on the altar were the tributes that had been set up in the small kitchen.

The two first went to the ancestral hall to respectfully invite the ancestors to have a meal, and then moved to the dining hall.

The New Year's Eve has become a rare free day for the two of them in the past few months. The two of them sat in the house, and the chess piece in Lin Nuo's hand fell in the middle of the chessboard. arrive."

This is true. On the morning of New Year's Eve, the children of the royal family will go up the mountain to worship their ancestors. The series of procedures will take more than half a day, and they will have to rush to the palace for the dinner when they come down from the mountain.

"There are so many rules in Beijing, how can the northern border be as comfortable as this. At this moment, my brothers are probably envious of us in their hearts."

Lin Nuo smiled and made another move on the chessboard. The freedom of the northern border cannot be exchanged for glory and wealth.

It's just that this leisure only lasted for half a day.

Yan Cang is very popular in the army, and everyone knows that there are no other rules in the palace.

Starting in the afternoon, some military generals and their families came to the house to pay New Year's greetings one after another, and they stayed to eat the New Year's Eve dinner together by the way.

Chef Wang started to cook the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon, but more and more people came to the house.

The housekeeper was arranging for someone to add a new table to the dining room. Chef Wang came over with a spoon in his hand, and roughly took a look at the people sitting in the hall eating fruit and the military generals in the yard who started gesticulating.

"Okay, let's slaughter another sheep and eat the pot tonight!"

When it was time for dinner in the evening, four large tables had already been set up in the hall, and Lin Nuo counted and felt that nearly twenty families had come.Fortunately, these adults also knew that tonight must be drinking, so they didn't bring the children to make trouble.

When the cauldron was on the table, some people came to the house to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Nuo simply ordered the porter to open the door, and if anyone came again, they could just bring them to the dining room for dinner.

What's interesting is that these military generals are quite fearful of guilt. They don't sit at the table for men and women separately, but sit together in several families.

After three glasses of wine, the ladies at the table no longer had the shy look they had when they first entered the room, and they were also extraordinarily forthright when drinking with the men at the same table.

There was even an older man who stood up from the table, "You can go to the battlefield, and we women can also go to the battlefield. If we are allowed to go to the battlefield, it may mean that our military achievements will be less than yours!"

Lin Nuo also drank a few cups, waiting for Yan Cang to look back at his princess, and found that Lin Nuo was drunk at a glance.

When he was drunk, he still looked obedient, sitting there smiling and watching the people around him talking.Yan Cang, who had learned from the past, did not dare to believe him anymore, and devoted more than half of his attention to Lin Nuo.

The appearance of the prince caused the generals at the same table to laugh at him, "If you want me to say that this prince is the best in everything, this guy is also the best."

Everyone laughed. No one expected that the concubine who had been watching them chatting would suddenly say, "I recognize you. It was because you drank a lot of wine and didn't go home a few days ago."

The person who just made fun of the prince lost his voice in an instant, and carefully glanced at the woman next to him.

In the next second, his ears were pulled up, "Okay! You still said that you are talking to the prince all night! I'm still wondering what you, a bastard, are going to talk about!"

"Wrong, wrong, lady, I was wrong."

Because of this, everyone laughed even harder.

Lin Nuo watched everyone laugh, and smiled with his eyes narrowed.

On weekdays, the military generals saw that the prince always took good care of the princess, compared to them taking care of their own children, and the princess seemed rather weak. Respectfully.

This tablemate was drinking today, only to find out that the concubine was drinking, and she could answer a few words about everything she talked with him, and what she said not only made you feel comfortable, but also made sense.

The big bosses were in awe, completely throwing the prince aside.

Yan Cang drank and saw that the situation was not right, why did he start teasing the princess!

Looking for an opportunity, he forced Lin Nuo to leave the table.

The dining room was so lively that it would not stop until after midnight.There are so many places to live in the house, there is nothing to worry about if there is a housekeeper to take care of it.

Yan Cang took Lin Nuo's hand and quietly left the table, walking back to the main house.

This Lin Nuo was very obedient as soon as he came in front of him, and he honestly let him play around, washing and changing clothes didn't waste any effort, looking at such a little guy, Yan Cang suddenly became ill-intentioned.

"Can you do it three times tonight?"

"Row."

"Can you change your position?"

"Row."

"Are you up there?"

"Row."

This night, the wine tables in the front yard didn't stop, and the beds in the back yard didn't stop either. It's really better than the old year in the new year!

The next day, all the shopkeepers and some nobles from the Twelve Cities came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning.

It's just that the guest waited for a long time, but he didn't see the prince.The butler said that he drank a little later the day before yesterday, and the military generals who have continued to rise up in the mansion can also prove it.

Those who are winking will leave the gifts and only wait for the afternoon or evening to visit again.He was still waiting in the yard without winking, and he waited until lunch and saw no one, so he had to go back first.

Qing Zhu, who was guarding the outer room, didn't hear any movement in the house until after lunch.
