Farmer Fubo is open for business

Mrs. Jiang also thinks it's feasible: "After we settle in, we'll find a few people to dig a pond. It doesn't need to be deep, just enough to water the vegetable field."

"Buy a few more fruit saplings. I want to plant apricot, plum, and peach trees here." Chang'an likes to see the peach blossoms in full bloom. From a distance, they look like a peach-pink cloud.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the West Market tomorrow to have a look."

"I just happened to be going to the carpenter's shop to get the wooden frame of the two-wheeled vehicle back." Chang'an decided to assemble the two-wheeled vehicle by himself. It wouldn't be troublesome anyway. The bearings, gears and chains are all ready. He can just wait for the frame and wheels to be returned. Can be assembled.

The mother and daughter packed their suitcases and went to the grocery store at the entrance of the alley to buy three iron pots and a dozen sets of dishes.

I also bought a lot of salt, miso, rice, noodles, soybeans, and red beans, as well as a load of firewood.

Xiaoju and Lianxin went to the vegetable market outside the alley to buy vegetables and pork. When they saw a fish seller, they bought a three-pound catfish.

Back at the house, Xiaoju lights the fire, Lianxin picks and washes vegetables, and Jiang is responsible for frying fish and chopping meat.

Jiang Ruyi made a braised fish dish according to her hometown's method. Part of the pork was braised in oil, and part of it was minced into a paste to make clear meatballs.

Rice vinegar and pepper are put into the meatball soup, and a little minced garlic is sprinkled on it. It doesn't have any fishy smell. Chang'an likes it the most.

In the afternoon, the food had just been prepared, but before I could eat it, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Chang'an hurried to open the door and saw an old nun from the palace standing at the door holding a child in one hand. Behind them were two maids aged sixteen or seventeen.

"Excuse me, our little princess is very happy to know that you have moved here. She must come and have a look." The old lady said with a kind face.

Chang'an was not surprised and quickly invited them in.

The five people entered the door and Chang An closed the door again. Minghui, who was wearing a boy's robe, took her hand and said with a smile: "Sister Chang An, have you brought the wheel painting? I want to see it."

"I brought it, but we have to wait until we finish eating to see it." Chang An called to the little girl who was dressed up as a silly Mingyang: "You come here too."

Mingyang seemed to still recognize Chang'an, so he ran up to her quickly and called out: "Sister."

The old lady who was following behind was about to burst into tears and quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeves.

Chang'an held one hand and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Minghui quickly said: "Not yet."

The meal in the palace was served on time. It was only the beginning of the Shen period and it was not yet time to eat.

"Then come and have something with us." Changan sincerely invited.

Minghui: "Okay!"

The two maids who were following behind wanted to say something, but were stopped by the eyes of the old woman.

Mrs. Jiang and Lian Xin Xiaoju also heard the sound and came out to greet the old woman: "Mother Wu hasn't eaten yet, come in and sit down."

Aunt Wu smiled and said: "I and Yan Qing Yannan have just had a meal and are not hungry yet. Mrs. Jiang, you don't need to worry about us."

Mrs. Jiang knew that there were many rules in the palace, so she didn't force them. She asked Lian Xin to bring chairs for the three of them to sit down, and also served tea and cakes.

The tea and pastries were given by the Crown Prince's wife, and they were all in a big box.

Aunt Wu sat for a while and then walked around the yard to see if there was anything missing in the house. She planned to go back and mention it to the princess.

After all, the young prince and the young princess will have to come and go frequently in the future, and the safety of food and accommodation must be ensured.

In the main room, Xiaoju brought two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, filled some rice and placed them in front of Minghui and Mingyang.

Minghui saw that Mrs. Jiang had eaten first, so she picked up the bowl and occasionally brought vegetables to the "little princess".

She seems to have a special liking for braised fish, eating a little bit from time to time.

Mrs. Jiang was afraid that the fish bones would get stuck on the children, so she quickly took the meat from the belly of the fish and put it in the bowls of the two children. "Use slowly, be careful as there are spines in the fish meat."

The two maids of the palace stood a little anxiously behind the little master. They wanted to come over to serve the dishes but felt bad about it, so they had to keep asking the little master: "Do you want me to feed the little princess?"

The "little princess" shook her head and protected her bowl tightly.

After finally finishing the meal, the maid quickly brought tea to the two masters to rinse their mouths, and asked them if they could hold up and if they wanted Xiaoshi pills?

The two children nodded and gave Chang'an a few Xiaoshi pills brought by the maid.

Chang'an took it and heard the little goldfish announce: [Hawthorn Pills, made from cooked hawthorn, malt, and divine music, stir-fried and ground into fine powder, then mixed with refined honey and kneaded into pills, which can relieve fatigue, whet the appetite, digest food, induce stagnation, and activate blood circulation Remove blood stasis. 】

She peeled off the wax shell, and inside was a dark ball wrapped in wax paper. When she took a bite, it was sour and sweet, very delicious.

Changan immediately fell in love with this Xiaoshi Pill.

How about waiting for autumn to come, buy more hawthorns, make a lot of hawthorn balls, and eat them slowly.

"Sister Chang'an, let's look at the wheel painting." Minghui once again took Chang'an to the wheel painting.

Finally, the lotus heart was lifted out again and shaken twice.

The "little princess" was so happy that she clapped her hands and laughed.

But when I was about to go back and read it a third time, the drawing paper broke.

Lian Xin was immediately frightened and looked at Chang'an like a frightened rabbit: "I, I didn't mean it."

"I don't blame you, this painting should have been changed a long time ago." Chang An said with relief.

The picture scroll was being shaken back and forth. It was good that it could last for so long, but the little princess couldn't read it for the time being.

The "little princess" stared at the broken scroll and suddenly burst into tears.

The two maids were startled and hurriedly came to hug him, but he pushed them away.

The "little princess" pulled Chang'an's sleeve, cried till she was wet, and cried out in grievance: "It's broken."

Chang'an had no choice but to hold his shoulders and pat him, while injecting a leaf into his back.

Minghui also came over and looked at her "sister" worriedly.

The "little princess" cried for a while, then leaned her head on Chang'an's shoulder and dozed off.

Seeing this, Ms. Jiang quickly picked her up and took her to the bed in the room.

The two maidservants followed him every step of the way, even staying by his side when he was sleeping.

In another room, Minghui held a picture album of Chang'an's paintings and looked through it. Then she looked at the picture scroll that was broken into two parts and said, "Sister Chang'an, I asked my mother-in-law to ask someone to repair it."

Chang'an said nonchalantly: "I can repair it myself, but this scroll has been worn out a lot, and it will still break if I repair it."

Minghui was a little frustrated: "Can you draw another one?"

"Yes, but it's very time-consuming. You need to prepare a lot of materials, and each action requires dozens of pictures, so it only takes a month or two to draw a scroll." Chang'an said truthfully.

Minghui sighed: "No wonder it looks so good. It takes so much trouble."

At this time, the old grandma came over and whispered: "It's late, we should go back."

Minghui frowned, feeling a little disappointed, but she still followed her old grandma back home.

A maid held the still sleeping "little princess" in her arms and went out with the nanny.

There was a carriage parked outside the door, and there were several guards. The driver was the old mama's son, who was also the princess's nanny.

After putting the young master on the carriage, the old nanny said goodbye to Chang'an and Jiang: "I'm sorry to bother you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me. My son also lives in this alley. There is a big willow tree at the door. , he can also help you.”

"Okay, thank you for taking the trouble, mama." Ms. Jiang responded politely.

Mammy lowered the curtain, and the carriage quickly drove out of the alley, and soon arrived at the back door of the palace.

The two maids walked into the palace with the two children in their arms, and were heading to the princess's courtyard when they suddenly met Concubine Lin and Prince Rui walking in the flower courtyard.

"Where have you taken Yang'er and Hui'er?" King Rui glanced at his daughter in the maid's arms and asked with a sullen face. (End of chapter)
