Princess of the auxiliary country

On the first day back in Beijing, a family of four sat around a table and cooked hot pot.

Last time Huo Jingzhi left after eating half of his meal. He has been busy since he came back and has never been to the hot spring villa.

But I miss this hot pot very much.

The last time we had hot pot at the Hot Spring Villa, there was no wine. Huo Jingzhi is a person who likes to drink.

Of course, what he likes is just the kind of drinking, not the kind of bad wine.

"It's more appropriate to eat this hot pot with wine."

Next to him, Huo Jinyan nodded repeatedly.

Huo Junyao didn't think anything of what they said. After all, she also liked to drink some when eating hot pot with her friends in her previous life.

"Does my little sister know how to drink? Do you want to try it?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess of Ningyang raised her eyebrows and scolded: "Your little sister is still young, what kind of wine do you want to drink? You have to drink it yourself."

In fact, Huo Junyao also wanted to taste it, but seeing my mother like this, she swallowed the words that had already rushed to her throat.

Huo Jingzhi, who noticed her expression, poured her a small cup with a smile and said, "Just have a taste, it's okay."

Hearing his words, Princess Ningyang turned her head and looked at the small wine glass, and saw her daughter's eyes fixed on the wine glass. She didn't know that this girl also wanted to have a taste.

"Then try it."

After receiving the approval, Huo Junyao immediately smiled and reached out to take the wine glass handed over by her father.

"Thank you dad."

Then he looked down at the turbid and light green wine in the wine glass, and was quite curious about what this ancient wine tasted like.

She sniffed it again, and found that the smell of wine was not strong, more like the mash from later generations.

"Try it, little sister. This is a good wine that daddy has hidden. You can't drink it easily."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao also nodded, slowly raised the wine glass and took a sip.

But the next moment, she spit out the wine.

"Second brother, is this good wine?"

Huo Junyao looked at Huo Jinyan with dissatisfaction.

Although the taste of the rancid food was a bit alcoholic, it was completely different from the wine she remembered.

"It's a good wine. You don't know that our father treasures it. Usually, even if I want to drink it, he won't give it to me."

As he spoke, he drank the wine in one gulp, with a satisfied and intoxicated look on his face.

"."

Seeing that he was not lying, Huo Junyao couldn't help complaining that her second brother really didn't know much.

At the same time, I also felt very sorry for my father and second brother, who actually regarded this piece of shit as fine wine, especially because my father hid it like a treasure.

How pitiful. It seems that when I find the time, I might as well get them some really good wine.

"Yao Yao, if you don't like drinking it, then don't drink it. This wine is not a good thing, so it's best not to drink it."

Princess Ningyang smiled and reached out to take the wine glass in her hand and put it aside.

Huo Junyao had no objection at all to this. She didn't want to drink this crap a second time.

"By the way, little sister, I heard that your braised food business has stopped?"

"What else are you doing? How can you go on being disrupted like this by that bastard from the Zheng family?"

Before Huo Junyao started, the eldest princess Ningyang beside her immediately became furious.

For this Zheng who made her daughter uncomfortable, she now had new and old hatred combined, and she wanted to kill him directly.

As for what Zheng did, Huo Jingzhi and his son were also very clear about it, and their expressions were very ugly when they heard the words of the eldest princess Ningyang.

"Mom, don't be angry, it's just the Zheng family. I can find ways to deal with them."

"Well, I believe it. Mom is waiting for you to take care of them."

Princess Ningyang immediately nodded with a smile. "Oh? How do you plan to deal with them, little sister?"

"Secret, I will get something out after spring."

Now she has almost more than 100 dollars on hand, so it will be no problem to start construction in the spring.

After she got her things ready, she wanted to see if Mrs. Zheng was brave enough to cause trouble for her.

"Don't ask, I don't even know yet."

Seeing that her son wanted to ask more questions, Princess Ningyang immediately opened her mouth to stop him.

The family had a delicious hot pot meal and chatted for a while before Huo Junyao excused herself and returned to her yard.

Xiaochan also ordered people to prepare hot water early.

In the past few months at the hot spring villa, Huo Junyao had the habit of soaking in hot springs before going to bed every day. When he returned to the capital, Xiaochan thought that there was no warm soup here, so he could only use hot water to deal with it.

After a night of silence, Princess Ningyang began to get busy the next day.

Huo Junyao wanted to help, but she didn't know what to do.

I can only follow and watch my mother prepare things.

In addition to New Year's goods, what you also need to prepare are various snacks.

"What are you doing with so many snacks?"

Huo Junyao was quite curious about this.

"Miss, these are all gifts. After the New Year, all the nobles will visit each other and give each other some snacks like this and other gifts."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao showed a look of surprise, which was similar to bringing some souvenirs for New Year greetings.

But giving snacks is a bit unique.

Five or six days passed in a flash, and Princess Ningyang finally got everything ready.

However, there is no leisure time. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and after staying outside the city for several months, some sisters still need to move around.

Huo Junyao didn't have much interest in this. She was also busy preparing some things needed for the spring.

And she really doesn't like walking around among wealthy families. There are too many rules.

But she doesn't have to go to her mother's sisters, but she still has to go to her eldest sister.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, she followed her mother out to Yongninghou Mansion to visit her eldest sister, Princess Qingyang.

The current Princess Qingyang is seven months pregnant and has a big belly.

However, when she heard that my mother and little sister came to the door, she was very happy to get out of bed to greet them.

"Oh, please be careful. It's cold outside now. What are you doing standing at the door? Come in quickly."

As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Princess Qingyang standing at the door with a big belly. Princess Ningyang hurriedly stepped forward and while scolding her, she also carefully pushed Qingyang into the room.

Princess Qingyang smiled and stepped back obediently, but she did not forget to turn her gaze to Huo Junyao.

"Little sister, come in quickly."

"I saw my sister."

"Why are you being polite?"

Entering the house, Princess Qingyang directly held my mother's hand with one hand and Huo Junyao with the other.

"Mom, when did you return to Beijing? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I've been back for seven or eight days, and I've been busy with New Year's Eve matters. Then your aunts received invitations, so I have to come over to visit you today."

"How's it going?"

Hearing this, Princess Qingyang smiled and said, "It's very good. The doctor comes to check your pulse every day."

"That's good, but you still have to be careful."

After the mother and daughter exchanged a few words, Princess Qingyang looked at Huo Junyao and asked, "My little sister looks a lot different than when we first met."
