Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Mu Yue punished that nanny this time, but she didn't hide it.

Soon, the Mu Tianze brothers in the inn and the welcoming envoy from Qi State all knew about it.

Brother Mu Tianze naturally didn't take it too seriously, it was just a trivial matter to deal with a servant with ulterior motives.

Especially Mu Tianrun, he turned his head and ordered that the slapped nanny be sent back to the palace overnight, and he also brought a letter back, so that he could hurry up and send another reliable one over.

Anyway, this is still very close to the capital, so there is no time.

The man was sent away in the middle of the night, and he only started for a short time in the daytime the next day, when a small blue silk car caught up behind him, and a kind-hearted nanny got out of it, carrying a small package, and went to give it to her in a proper manner. Mu Yue invited Ann, and her attitude was very docile.

The envoy from Qi State, who had been watching the changes quietly, understood this scene in his heart.

This princess, their future queen, is not an unfavored princess. If nothing else, with her two brothers, she is not a master who can suffer and be wronged.

Before, there were still some tentative and neglectful thoughts, but from now on, they all restrained, and they were honest and honest along the way, not daring to show any demon moths.

It's been a smooth and safe journey.

After all, besides Mu Yue's 2000 dowry soldiers, there were also [-] Mu Tianze's escorts, plus the soldiers who were supposed to marry the princess, there were more than [-] people in this team.

Even if there were bandits and robbers on the road, if they saw this team from a distance, they would huddle in the mountains with their tails clamped and dare not come out, for fear of being suppressed by others.

After leaving the capital, Mu Tianrun had to say goodbye to everyone and go back.

After all, it was the emperor's kindness that he could be sent here. Otherwise, the underage prince would not be able to leave Beijing casually without an imperial decree.

After Mu Tianrun left, everyone boarded the boat going south.

The boat had been prepared long ago, and Mu Yue and Mu Tianze were on the biggest main boat, which was three stories high and very impressive.

Half of the rest of the entourage boarded the boat, and the remaining half set off by land.

Although the waterway is slower, it is better than stability.

You can also enjoy different scenery along the way. At the big pier along the way, local officials have already prepared the supplies.

The further south you go, the warmer the weather.

It was August when I left the capital, when autumn was crisp and clear.

The maple leaves on the mountains outside the capital began to turn red, and the grass on the ground also turned yellow.

But after leaving the capital, I can slowly see that the grass on both sides of the river is still lush green, even the leaves are still green.

When I arrived in Nanzhou, I couldn't wear the clothes I wore outside the capital, so I changed into thin summer clothes.

Not to mention the escorting officers and soldiers, even Mu Tianze and Mu Yue were very surprised.

Fortunately, Shen Jiayan had already made preparations and brought a lot of summer clothes, so she was well prepared.

Nanzhou is a place with a warm climate, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side. The climate is humid and warm. Even at the end of September, it is still hotter than the summer in Beijing.

The Qi Wang Mansion in Nanzhou has been rebuilt, and everyone first entered the Qi Wang Mansion for renovation.

After washing up, I changed into clothes made of light local homemade cloth, and sat in the gazebo, blowing the wind, and the servants brought various local specialties one after another.

At this time, Nanzhou is rich in fruits, such as mango, red papaya, grapes, pomelo, longan and many unnamed local fruits.

Shen Jiayan had never seen such a rich and fresh fruit since time travelling, he was as happy as a mouse falling into a rice vat.

The locals like that kind of sour mango, which is eaten with chili sauce. Everyone respects it, but Shen Jiayan likes it very much.

Seeing how she was eating, Mu Yue felt that her teeth were sour for her as she sat by.

There is also a kind of local rice noodles, which are filled with stinky sour bamboo shoots. It smells bad, but it tastes very delicious.

Shen Jiayan burst into tears, isn't this the snail powder she ate before?How long has it been since I asked about the smell?
It's a pity that she only ate once in Prince Qi's Mansion, and Mu Yue almost misunderstood that she ate shit!I had to take people with me every day, sneaking out of Qi Wangfu to look for various snacks outside.

Although Nanzhou is located in a remote place, it is rich in products and is an important transportation route for various places. Compared with the capital city, it is another kind of prosperity.

It is not too far from the seaside, and there are all kinds of rare treasures brought by foreign sea merchants from distant seas, such as ivory, diamonds of various colors, and spices, there are countless.

There are also a wide variety of fruits with bright colors and sweet taste.

There is also a kind of brocade woven by the local Tu people, which is colorful and very charming.

In addition, a county under the jurisdiction of Nanzhou near the sea is called Hepu. The local people live by picking pearls from the sea. Hepu sea pearls are famous all over the world and are very precious. Every year, the best Hepu pearls will be paid tribute to the palace.

Even in Mu Yue's dowry, there is Hepu Haizhu's face, which is very rare.

Shen Jiayan went out every day, never came back empty-handed, and bought a lot of things.

All kinds of rare treasures brought by the sea merchants, the brocades of the Tu people, of course Hepu Haizhu is indispensable.

These are all places of origin, and the prices are much cheaper than those in the capital.

There is a saying about pearls, seven points of pearls and eight points of treasures.Especially seawater beads, because of the different minerals in seawater, the trace elements absorbed by pearls are different, and the colors are also different.

Generally white, but also gold, silver, gray, pink.

The rarest is black.

But nowadays, people in the world don't know black, but gold and pink pearls are more popular.

Shen Jiayan went out for a few days, and by chance, he bought a black pearl that was more than eight cents, and the price was half less than a white and golden pearl of the same size, which was almost the same as picking up for nothing.

She wanted to give it to Mu Yue as a wedding gift, but it was a pity that this color was not auspicious for her, so she had to keep it for herself.

Then I went out to inquire about it, and under the name of Mu Tianze, I finally bought a pink eight-point pearl, paired with a pink diamond bought from a sea merchant, and gave it to Mu Tianze for makeup. Yue.

Mu Yue couldn't put it down, such pink pearls were rare even in the harem.

Even if the tribute is paid to the palace, the emperor will leave some rewards, and the queen will distribute the rest.

As a junior, she was not born to the empress, and what she got every time was only within the rules.

Such outstanding and rare things are rarely found in her hands.

She had seen it on the head of the queen's concubine before, a pink pearl about seven cents inlaid on the golden hairpin, the precious light was warm and moist, and many people paid attention to it.

But now I also got one, which was bigger than the one of the empress's daughter-in-law, and even more round and flawless, which made Mu Yue's heart ache.

After all, it is a child without a mother, even if it is a princess, no one will love it.

Even if there are two brothers, Mu Tianze and Mu Tianrun, they are men, how can they understand women's love for jewelry.

What's more, the two of them are straight men who are aesthetically pleasing, and occasionally go out of the palace to bring her some things back, either picking up the heavy gold, or picking up the big gems and jewelry, they can only be pressed at the bottom of the box.

Fortunately, Shen Jiayan was able to fulfill her dream of being hurt by someone, and let her let go of that regret.

Mu Yue watched Shen Jiayan go out happily every day, and then come back happily, envious.

It's a pity that with her current status, and Mu Tianze's first arrival in Nanzhou, she is really worried about letting her go out.

I had to wait anxiously every day for Shen Jiayan to go out, bring her back various specialties from outside, and then tell her what I have seen and heard for comfort.

After half a month of repairing in Nanzhou, I will continue to go west for one or two hundred miles, and after crossing the snow-capped mountains, it will be the border of Qi State.

And to enter the state of Qi, there are still hundreds of miles of waterways to reach the capital of the state of Qi.

Mu Yue also wanted to send Shen Jiayan to marry Qi State and then return to Nanzhou with Mu Tianze.

But Shen Jiayan actually found sugarcane in Nanzhou. After asking, he found out that several counties under the jurisdiction of Nanzhou have the habit of growing sugarcane.

However, it is called sugarcane yellow skin fruit in the local area, and most of them are grown to be eaten as fruit. Because it is sweet and juicy, most people will plant some in front of and behind their houses.

This time is when the sugarcane is ripe, and it is also the sweetest time for the sugarcane.

When Shen Jiayan was in Changyang, it was not suitable for growing sugar cane, so everyone was asked to grow sugar beet for sugar refining.

Before she tossed out beet sugar refining, most of the sugar everyone ate on weekdays was maltose, which was extracted from grains, such as maltose and the like.

Even if the common people can make the sugarcane juice thicker, it is only a thicker syrup.

I thought I was going to bid farewell to the sugar industry, but I didn't expect to open up another world when I came to Nanzhou?
You know, brown sugar made from sugar cane has been a good product for women to replenish qi and blood since ancient times.Many women in modern society like to buy brown sugar boiled from sugarcane, and they have come up with various tricks, such as rose brown sugar and ginger sugar, which are very popular.

This place in Nanzhou is suitable for refining sucrose, which Shen Jiayan did not expect.

Mu Tianze didn't expect it either!
He was still hesitating at first, but it was Mu Yue's wedding, so he couldn't leave any regrets.

But when Mu Yue learned about it, she made a decisive decision to let Shen Jiayan stay and start refining sugar.

She is very clear, now that her brother has not established a foothold in Nanzhou, there must be some achievements to make people convinced, right?
Only when Mu Tianze is well can she be well!

If Shen Jiayan can successfully refine sucrose, and the money will continue to flow, Mu Tianze will not be restricted in what he does.

And she is on the side of Qi State, so she has the confidence!
Now that she has chosen this path, she naturally has to give up something!What's more, the distance between the two places is not too far away, so I don't worry about not having the opportunity to meet in the future.

Shen Jiayan naturally wouldn't say much, she respected everyone's choice.

On the day when the missionary group departed from Nanzhou, the weather was sunny and breezy, so it wasn't so hot at all.

In order to avoid the scorching heat at noon, we set off at dawn.

Mu Tianze's staff came to Nanzhou before, and he gave his token to Shen Jiayan, so that if there is anything needed, let the staff do it.

He also left half of his own soldiers, one is to guard Qi Palace, and the other is to leave manpower for Shen Jiayan.

Only then did he lead the peace mission to the west, heading towards the state of Qi.

After Mu Tianze left, Shen Jiayan naturally couldn't relax.

Fortunately, Da Zhuang and the others had obeyed her orders long ago. After learning that Shen Jiayan was coming to Nanzhou, they took part of Shen Jiayan's property and family and rushed to Nanzhou first.

They have been here for a while, and have already bought houses and fields in and around Nanzhou City, as well as several hills.

Dazui and the others have already opened several shops in Nanzhou City. With the contacts and connections of the department store back then, the business is not bad.

The black and pink pearls that Shen Jiayan bought were the relationship between Da Zui and the others.

With veterans like Da Zhuang and the others, it is not difficult to rebuild a new sugar workshop.

With King Qi Mu Tianze as his backer, he can get whatever he wants.

In less than a month, the first sucrose workshop produced the first batch of sucrose.

The familiar smell of sugarcane brown sugar almost made Shen Jiayan's eyes blush.

Soon, in Nanzhou City, brown sugar shops opened quietly.

Not to mention the moderate price, the rose brown sugar and ginger brown sugar inside are most sought after by women.

When menstruation comes, the body is uncomfortable, and drinking a strong cup can relieve a lot.

If you get caught in the rain and get cold, drink a cup of ginger brown sugar and sweat, and you'll be fine.

There are also confinement women who boil eggs with brown sugar and boil pig's feet with ginger, which can produce milk and replenish qi and blood, and the recovery is faster than ordinary people.

For a time, the families of officials and officials in Nanzhou City, as well as the female family members of wealthy families, were all proud of having these two kinds of brown sugar in their homes.

These female relatives also know that the plum blossom snow candy is popular in the capital, and there is also a new kind of rock candy that has appeared now. I heard that the color is beautiful and sweet.

It's a pity that they are far away from the capital, and it is difficult to buy anything based on their relationship.

Now this plum blossom snow sugar is here in Nanzhou, one tael of silver and one tael of sugar!There is also the sea merchant, who shouted out two taels of silver and one tael of sugar, and wanted to buy more to go back to his own country to buy, but he couldn't.

I heard that those maritime countries sell this plum blossom snow sugar to the nobles and monarchs of the country, which is almost a tael of gold and a tael of sugar.

When I asked the capital to buy some plum blossom snow candy, not only did I have to give money, but I also had to look at the person's face, and I was ridiculed as a country bumpkin.

Now Nanzhou also has its own sugar shop, and its own rose brown sugar and ginger brown sugar can also nourish qi and blood. These female relatives feel that their rose brown sugar is not bad compared to the plum blossom snow sugar!

Many people have already prepared the rose brown sugar and ginger brown sugar by taking the opportunity of giving the New Year's gift, and sent the New Year's gift to the capital in advance, and they also want to win!

In a blink of an eye, time quickly entered the twelfth lunar month.

Mu Tianze and the others rushed back on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, all of them looked dark, but their complexions were not bad.

When I returned to Nanzhou Mansion, I only had time to wash up and didn't have time to rest, so I went to the front yard to meet my staff.

In the evening, I was free to have dinner with Shen Jiayan.

Only then can I have time to talk about Mu Yue's wedding.

The sincerity of the Qi State seems to be quite sufficient. When entering the Qi State territory, every place to stay has been arranged long ago, so there is no need to worry about it.

The preparations for the wedding were very grand, and the people had fun together, and it was lively for half a month.

Mu Tianze could also tell that whether it was Qi Guoguo who really respected Mu Yue as a queen, or was just acting, at least he had given him enough face.

Even Mu Yue herself couldn't find anything wrong.

Before getting married, there were only two or three kittens in the harem of the monarch of the Qi Kingdom, and they were still a few concubines around him, and their status was not high.

After Mu Yue got married, the Phoenix seal and the power of the harem were handed over to her the next day.

Moreover, before Mu Tianze left, the monarch of the Qi Kingdom actually conveyed a meaning through Mu Yue's mouth. Within three years, if Mu Yue remains childless, newcomers will enter the harem again, and the concubines in the harem will be stopped. soup.
