Chapter 594
"I'm really troubled my uncle, aunt and cousin." Ming Ruo has also seen Eunuch Zhang's diligence.
General Su waved his hand: "At first we had no experience, we were really annoyed for a few days. We bathed and changed our clothes every day, and tossed with the incense table. Later, we learned that he was coming every day, and the incense table was placed there, and it moved to the corridor when it rained.
Then, I sent someone to change his clothes every day and wait for him to come in the hall. Anyway, we have a lot of family members, so it won’t take a few turns a month…”
"Puff haha..." Ming Ruo couldn't help laughing. What did this father-in-law force people into?
"Ruoer and the prince are back." The eldest aunt, fourth aunt and several cousins came to the front. "Su De hurried to prepare a luncheon to welcome the prince and princess."
"Auntie, don't be busy, just prepare some common food." Mingruo smiled.
"You and the prince rarely come to our mansion, so you can't go carelessly." My aunt pulled Ming Ruo up and down for a long time, "We Ruoer are more beautiful than before."
"I think so." After everyone greeted Si Haochen and Mingruo, they started chatting about family matters.
"You guys are teasing me again." Mingruo asked Chuyi and Shifen to bring all the gifts prepared for everyone.
What I prepared for my uncle and aunt were clothes and jewelry, and what I prepared for my cousin were some of the unique black iron weapons and paper and pens of Zhongzhou.
"Are these... specialties of Yunzhong Palace?" Someone in my aunt's family is an imperial merchant. She has seen many good things since she was a child. Such exquisite things are rare.
Ming Ruo only said that he would go back to the master to see his master, and his itinerary to Zhongzhou was naturally confidential: "We also went to the Western Frontier for a walk, and just happened to catch up with the cargo ships from Zhongzhou. These are all specialties from Zhongzhou."
"Oh," the two aunts nodded repeatedly, "No wonder these things are so exquisite. They turned out to be from Zhongzhou.
I have also heard that when a cargo ship from Zhongzhou comes, he will bring a lot of fresh things. Every time the ship docks, he can't wait for the unloading of the goods, and he is sold out on the dock."
"Ruoer's luck is really good. It is said that the cargo ships in Zhongzhou only come once a year. I don't know when they will come. It's really hard to come."
The fourth aunt's personal nanny came to report and said that the yard was cleaned up. The fourth aunt said, "The journey is exhausting, so the prince and the princess will go and have a rest first."
"Then I'll go and take a break first, and then talk to my aunt later."
Ming Ruo and Si Haochen returned to the yard and saw Shiwu bringing in a stack of reports and secret letters. His Highness Prince Yun went to Zhongzhou for a few months and had accumulated considerable "official duties".
Mingruo saw a considerable number of documents brought by Shiwu, and all these piles of documents could bury Si Haochen halfway: "Come on."
"Why do I think you are a little gloating?" Si Haochen shaved Mingruo's nose.
"No...no...is definitely your illusion." Mingruo waved his hand quickly.
"Send it to the space office for your husband." Si Haochen looked at the mountain of official documents and was under great pressure, so he decided to go into the space to make a 'time difference'.
"Wow, why didn't I expect it?" Mingruo felt that Si Haochen's head was turning really fast, "You go and do your business first, I'll go find you later."
Mingruo sent Si Haochen into the space and watched A Yuan settle down, so he said he would take a nap first and not let anyone disturb him.
The next morning, Si Haochen had already processed half of the documents with space in hand and piled up like mountains of official documents. The two aunts invited Mingruo to go shopping, and Si Haochen stayed in the general's mansion and continued to handle official duties.
There were bustling pedestrians on the street, mixed with many people wearing Xikang's special clothes.
"The border town seems to be much more lively than before." Mingruo looked at the street view through the car window.
"That's right? Since the opening of the court with Xikang, the border town has become much more lively. Many people praise Prince Yun, who not only can win battles, but also care about people's livelihood and truly allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment." My aunt said with a smile.
The fourth aunt also said: "The border city is not far from the northwest. I heard that the prince is in the border city, and even the Beichi side, this year is very stable. In the past, the Beichi was in the spring famine, and even if the war did not start, there would be bandits coming to steal the people's things. It is said that there are fewer bandits this year."
"My prince is amazing. Wherever he puts it, he will be the Dinghai Dinghai Needle." Mingruo smiled with his mouth covering his mouth.
"Don't say it, it's true!" The two aunts agreed deeply.
"What are the things here that my grandfather and grandmother are used to eating and using? I have to go back to the imperial capital anyway, so I will bring some by the way." Mingruo thought that his grandfather and grandmother had lived in the border town for more than ten years, so he must have gotten used to it.
"There is a dim sum shop in front of me. My mother likes to eat sweet potato candy made in his home." The fourth aunt said again, "My father likes to eat braised meat opposite the dim sum shop. Unfortunately, the weather is hot now and I can't take it."
"Oh." Mingruo did not insist on buying it for his grandfather, and planned to let Shiwu go later. "I'll ask someone to buy some and take it on the way to try it."
"Our general's mansion and the cooked food shop are quite familiar. I'll talk to you and let them take it to you later." said my aunt.
"Okay." Mingruo nodded.
No matter how busy the border town is, there are not many places to visit. The three of them went back to their house in less than noon.
When they came back, the cooked food shop's guy just came to send braised pork. Butler Su calculated the money and gave it to the manager who looked like he was the manager.
Butler Su ordered people to move the braised meat to the ice room under the kitchen first, for fear that it would not be fresh if it was too hot for a long time.
Mingruo looked at the tempting braised pork and stopped the servant: "Let's go."
"Does Ruoer want to try it? Let the kitchen cut a plate and then boil some rice wine hotly." The fourth aunt ordered.
Ming Ruo sniffed the braised pork carefully: "Hurry and take down the person who sent the meat!"
When the eldest aunt saw Ming Ruo's face was solemn, she was shocked and asked Butler Su to stop the manager and the two friends.
"The fourth aunt also understood something: "Ruoer, is this braised pork poisonous?"
"It's also considered poison, but it won't kill people at once. Just eating it a few more times will make you addicted. This kind of 'toxicity' is very detrimental to the body." Mingruo did not expect that there was already such a sinister way in ancient times.
"Ah..." My aunt was shocked, "We would buy some braised pork at this shop on weekdays, but we wouldn't buy so much. Are we already poisoned?"
"Can the family members beg you to sit still if you don't eat this braised pork for a day?" Mingruo asked.
"That won't happen." The eldest aunt shook her head quickly.
"Then there shouldn't be poisoning." Ming Ruo frowned slightly. If it's okay after taking it for many years, they would have problems as soon as they entered the general's mansion. Who did the poisoned person come to?
Butler Su was very good at doing things, and only said that the number of weighed was wrong, so he asked them to come back and weigh them again. Mrs. Su also sent someone to ask the general to come over.
