Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 336 Xu Xiaoting's Big Marriage

Seeing that Xiaobailong found such a good thing, Xu Xiaomi was very happy.

He smiled and said: "Xiao Bailong, take my brand immediately, go to the Ministry of Households to get 1000 taels of silver, and then go to the Ministry of Industry to bring people to build a salt-making base at the mouth of the valley.

I'll draw you a blueprint for building a house right away.Where are we going to make salt.However, the most important thing now is to build the houses for processing first!
This process of making salt, I will teach it myself in the future! "

Xiao Bailong took the order and walked out.Qiu Yongzheng was very happy when he heard from his beloved wife that he could make salt!

The salt they ate before was coarse salt, bitter and expensive.Mi Mei also said that the salt had too many impurities and was slightly poisonous.

Over the years, after she made it again, the salt became a snow-white powder, and it was much better to eat.

Seeing Xiao Bailong go out, he asked Xu Xiaomi: "Mimei! Is it true that the stone can make salt?"

"Huh! Husband, we don't have to worry about salt anymore. It's great! Oh..."

Xu Xiaomi suddenly remembered that she was dazzled by this little surprise.It seems that I called Xiao Bailong to make glass!

However, the burden it brought over is still at its feet.Forget it, don't ask it, come and take a closer look for yourself, anyway, its stones are engraved with places.

Qiu Yongzheng heard that his wife seemed to have something else that he hadn't explained clearly to Xiao Bailong.So, he asked, "Mimei! What's the matter? Is there anything else?"

"It's okay! I just think that little white dragon is walking too fast, okay! Let's take a look, what treasures did it pick up and bring back to me?"

Xu Xiaomi talked to her husband relaxedly, while squatting down to open Xiaobailong's cloth pocket to have a look.

It is full of stones, but these stones are ores.There are snow-white quartz stones, rust-colored pyrite ores, golden ores that shine like gold, and cinnabar stones that are as red as gems.

Xu Xiaomi asked Lin Chong to put the stones away, and wait until she is free.

She thought about it, and it was actually not difficult to make glass.The trouble is, she has no time for herself now.

Now, the raw materials are all in these stones.When she was free, she asked her uncle Zhou Jingtian to use the gold she hadn't made into gold ingots to cast a large gold pot, which could be used to melt glass.

Made of glass, there are many uses, not only for bottles, but also for windows, light bulbs, and decorations...

Anyway, as long as glass can be made, it can be used in many ways. If the output can keep up, it can also be shipped to foreign countries for sale.

It's just that now, she has to focus on getting her sister's marriage done well, which is a major event in her sister's life.

So, she dragged her husband back to the main hall of Yangming Palace, and made it with her parents, grandparents, younger brother, daughter-in-law, and younger sister, and it was time for lunch.

In the afternoon, the eldest uncle and aunt, the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt brought the children and the second aunt, Wei Zhuang and Zhou Ruoyu brought the children and the third aunt, all came from Jinquan County. Xu Xiaomi asked Lin Chong to arrange them all outside the palace. In another courtyard.

After Xu Xiaomi arranged the palace, she and Qiu Yongzheng rushed to the other courtyard with her grandparents, parents, younger brothers, daughter-in-law, younger sister and children.

The third uncle, with three cousins, cousins, and children also arrived.

Only the eldest cousin was unwell, and the second cousin gave birth to the fourth child. All relatives came except that she couldn't come.

Xu Xiaomi's eldest cousin married in the country. That man used to marry Zhou Yuting just to get Xu Xiaomi's charity.

Later, because the dowry that the eldest aunt gave Zhou Yuting was rich enough, the family also lived a life with slaves and maidservants.

However, because Zhou Yuting never gave birth to a son for his family, he took the second wife.This time, Zhou Yuting was asked to ask her natal family for money, and he fell in love with a widow from the same village.It made Zhou Yuting mad.

When Xu Xiaomi asked her aunt why her cousin didn't come.My aunt couldn't bear it anymore.Crying bitterly, she told Xu Xiaomi everything exactly.

Xu Xiaomi was so angry that she gritted her teeth.Immediately, let Xiaoxiang go directly to take the eldest cousin and two daughters to the other courtyard in the capital.

Let's ignore that man for the time being, and don't let my aunt ask about it in the future. If he wants to pick up his cousin, he has to pass Xu Xiaomi's test first.

In the evening, everyone got together and had a lively reunion dinner.

After dinner, Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng took their parents, grandparents, brothers, brothers, daughter-in-law, sisters, and children back to the palace.

The next day, which was the [-]th day of the winter moon, at the end of Yinshi, Qiu Yongzheng and Xu Xiaomi got up.

After Xu Xiaomi and his wife got up, Cuiping delivered face wash water, and Xu Xiaomi helped Qiu Yongzheng wash and dress.

After Qiu Yongzheng was done, he kissed her on the face and went to court.

Xu Xiaomi started to take care of herself, and Xiaoxiang took Zhou Yuting and the children back to the other courtyard to rest in the middle of the night.It returned to the palace by itself.

At this time, Xu Xiaomi was washing and dressing up, and it also came to help.

As soon as Xu Xiaomi saw Xiaoxiang, she asked, "Xiaoxiang, why don't you sleep for a while, and come so early?"

"Thank you, master, for your concern! I'm not tired!" Xiaoxiang said with a smile.

At this time, Caiyi also came, and the two of them quickly helped Xu Xiaomi get it done.Today, Xu Xiaomi combed a flowing cloud knot, wore a golden phoenix hairpin, and wore a phoenix robe. She was so charming and majestic.

When Cuiping came in to deliver breakfast, her eyes widened.Xiaoxiang asked jokingly: "Cuiping, is the master good-looking?"

Cuiping came back to her senses, and hurriedly replied: "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful! It's just like Chang'e in the drama."

"Look at you two! Ah! So there are slaves as bold as you?" Xu Xiaomi pretended to blame.

Cuiping and Xiaoxiang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, Xiaoxiang doesn't dare!"

"Your Majesty! The servant has been convicted!"

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi said: "Okay, okay, get up! Don't make fun of me in the future!"

"Yes!"

"Yes! Thank you, Madam, for not punishing me!"

Xu Xiaomi heard this, and said to Cuiping: "Go and wake up Miss Er, she can't sleep anymore today!"

Cuiping answered "Yes" and walked out with the tray.

Xu Xiaomi said to Xiaoxiang again: "Xiaoxiang, hurry up and ask someone to get a bucket of hot water for Xiaoting, and let her have dinner after taking a bath."

"Yes!"

Xiaoxiang took the order and walked out.

After Xu Xiaomi finished her breakfast, she began to count the dowry she had prepared for Xu Xiaoting.I remember back then, when my third cousin Zhou Ruoyu got married, Xu Xiaomi promised her that when she got married, she would also have a red dress.

She wrote down everything she wanted to give to her sister on a piece of paper and asked Lin Chong to prepare it.

Lin Chong took it over and took a look, his heart jumped violently, his eyes widened, and his tongue was speechless.

I thought: Tsk tsk tsk, there are so many things!How many cities can you buy if these things are exchanged for silver?
Didn't you prepare the dowry a few days ago?To take out so much today is really better than he knows, any princess has more dowry!
In the past few years, the master has earned a lot, and the monthly silver given to the palace people is also more, and every new year, the rewards to the palace people are also more.

This really echoes the saying: People in troubled times are not as good as dogs in peacetime!Look at the maids and eunuchs in the palace now, the food and clothing can be compared with those famous concubines five years ago.

Lin Chong thought to himself, but he didn't slow down. He came to the warehouse, prepared all the things that Xu Xiaomi asked him to prepare, had someone carry them out, locked the door and returned to his command.

When Lin Chong came to Yangming Palace, Xu Xiaoting was also there, having breakfast there!

Seeing him coming, Xu Xiaomi said, "Lin Chong, let someone carry the dowry to the main hall of Yangming Palace!"

"Yes! Master!"

Lin Chong immediately went to find more than a dozen people to help carry the things to Yangming.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter.Relatives living in other courtyards outside the palace also came to the palace.

Xu Xiaomi didn't expect that her eldest cousin Zhou Yuting also came with her child.However, when Xu Xiaomi saw her, he almost couldn't recognize her.

Zhou Yuting, who is less than [-] now, unexpectedly has a dark complexion, and when she looks closely, she has crow's feet in the corners of her eyes.It really hurts to see it.

As soon as she saw Xu Xiaomi, she knelt down on her knees and said, "The wife of the people pays her respects to the empress!"

Xu Xiaomi quickly reached out and dragged her thin body up.Said: "Big cousin, why are you so polite? They are all my sisters, so don't be so polite. Are you feeling better today?"

Zhou Yuting listened to Xu Xiaomi's concerned words.My heart is warm like a spring breeze.She silently nodded to Xu Xiaomi.

Xu Xiaomi knew that Xiaoxiang had already treated her when she brought her back.So, I asked this because I was afraid that she would still feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing her nodding, Xu Xiaomi was relieved, and asked again: "How old is the eldest girl?"

Zhou Yuting replied softly: "12 years old!"

"Oh? I'm already 12 years old, how time flies! The big cousin back then, now the children are older than me back then, hehe... okay!
From now on, you and your child will stay in another courtyard, or come to the palace.If that person wants to pick you up, come to me first, and you will live the same way if you leave him in Dazhou.

However, he is a soft-boiled guy, he can't live without you.I don't treat him now to save face for you and the two children. If he continues to be unreasonable, don't blame me for being rude. "

After hearing Xu Xiaomi's words, Zhou Yuting was very grateful. She looked at the queen sister with tears in her eyes, and couldn't bear the pain in her heart anymore. She leaned on Xu Xiaomi's shoulder and began to cry.

Xu Xiaomi patted her on the shoulder and said, "Sister, don't cry! You are a relative of the emperor now, so don't be afraid of a shameless person like him, go! Let's go to see Xiaoting, and I will wear a phoenix coronet for her."

As Xu Xiaomi said, she dragged Zhou Yuting to Xu Xiaoting's Cuiluxuan.

When they arrived, Ruo Da's emerald green hall was full of people.Everyone gathered in front of the dressing table, and the aunts were all dressed in beaming clothes, mainly in various red brocade robes.

The third cousin, Zhou Ruoyu, was also holding the third child. She was wearing a pink satin gown and a pure gold lotus flower on her head. She was standing next to grandma and watching grandma comb Xu Xiaoting's hair.
