Chapter 207: Another betrothal gift
The moment Feng Aoqing discovered the mine, she knew she would leave.
No matter what kind of king he is, he would never put such an important mine in the hands of others.
Therefore, the news about Hantian Valley was no longer hidden.
She knew that Mo Beiyuan would come, and she also knew that Mo Beiyuan would go north. She thought of a place further north earlier than Mo Beiyuan.
So everything was planned by her.
She helped Monanzhou find new iron ore and nickel sulfide ore, allowing Zhaojing to have the best iron manufacturing technology.
She helped Mo Nanzhou build a granary here, so they would never have to worry about food or supplies whether they were moving forward or backward.
She also rebuilt Hantian Valley, making it the best springboard to the north.
With the territory further north, Zhaojing State will be able to compete with Yuanwu State and become one of the great powers in Kyushu.
She did it not entirely for Mo Nanzhou, but more for Xingbao and Yuebao.
She knew she couldn't always stay by their side.
If the stepmother is nice, then they will stay in the capital. If the stepmother is evil, then they will return to Hantian Valley. The various industries here are enough for them to live a rich life.
At the same time, this is also an experiment to test one's own abilities and the extent to which one can utilize space.
Han Lang held her hand and said, "I hope you can live freely and do whatever you want. I will be with you. If you feel that I am restricting you by your side, then tell me. I will hide and just watch over you from afar."
"In the end, my life is full of traces of your existence. It's interesting, isn't it!" Feng Aoqing cursed.
"You didn't refuse!" Han Lang was very happy. She knew it and didn't refuse.
"I really love Fuxuezhi. I don't need anything else, I only want Fuxuezhi." Feng Aoqing thought about it and decided that Fuxuezhi was her true love.
"It sounds like you don't like those beads and stones. Who saw the Blood Glow Stone and the Purple Cinder Stone running around with their skirts lifted up?"
"Uh... that seems to be the case! I asked the owner of Xingyue Pavilion to make some hairpins for me. One is for Blood Glow, one is for Purple Cinder, one is for red clothes, and one is for purple clothes."
"Both colors look good on you."
"But you like me wearing purple, right? Most of my clothes are purple."
"Yes, that's right." Han Lang smiled. He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't know that she knew everything.
This is not the first time that two people live in the same room. Feng Aoqing also needs to receive intravenous drips at night. She is afraid of being caught, but also doesn't trust others to watch over her.
Yue Jiu ignored the advice and stayed on the eaves. When he was freezing, he went to the corridor to keep warm.
Just as he was looking around and listening carefully, he saw a peony-colored figure at the gate of the courtyard, looking inside.
The guards at the door did not stop them, so they must be the women from the Mo family.
What were the women doing here at this time? Were they looking for Feng Aoqing?
He then jumped off the eaves to find out what was going on.
There is also a transparent house at the door that is sheltered from the wind, just like the one under his corridor.
When I walked over and took a look, it was no wonder that no one was trying to stop them. Not only that, they were laughing and chatting happily, and the atmosphere was very lively.
It turned out that it was Lu Xiaolian who came to deliver hot beef soup.
"How's it? Doesn't it smell good? I used beef bones and old hens to simmer it all day!"
"Sister, it smells so good! Just a steamed bun will be fine. I'm just hungry." Someone answered.
"We don't have steamed buns, but are freshly baked pancakes okay?" Lu Xiaolian asked.
"Oh my God! How can this not be possible?" the man replied.
"Sister! Your cooking skills are good enough to open a shop! Go open one! I'll eat there every day." Someone else praised.
Lu Xiaolian distributed soup and cakes to everyone. When she stood up, she bumped into someone. When she turned around, it was Yue Jiu.
"Ouch! Oh my God! Where did you come from? You scared me!" She said, covering her chest.
I saw several people guarding the gate pointing to the sky at the same time.
"You're waiting on the eaves so late at night?!" Lu Xiaolian exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, stay in the house for the second half of the night," Yue Jiu nodded. "It's late, go to bed early!"
He turned and left.
"Brother Yue! Don't you want to drink the soup I made?" the brother guarding the door shouted.
Yue Jiu didn't stop, but went straight into the yard and sat by the fire under the corridor.
"Brother Yue is the least concerned about these foods and doesn't eat much. He says the reason we can't jump is because we eat too much meat." Someone explained.
"This is just like my sister. She won't eat more than one bite of anything because she's afraid she can't fly to the sky." Lu Xiaolian scolded.
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Someone asked, "Are you talking about the eldest young lady from the Third Madam's family? Oh my God! I was on guard that day, and she entered the courtyard at some point. I really didn't even see her shadow."
"It's her." Lu Xiaolian replied with a smile.
She picked up the food box beside her and said, "Today, I will let your eldest brother eat three pieces of bread and drink a bowl of beef soup, and see if he can jump up!"
After saying this, he entered the yard and walked to the fire under the porch.
"Give it to them, I don't need it." Yue Jiu said.
Lu Xiaolian didn't say anything, just looked at him.
"I... will take you home!" Yue Jiu thought that he should do this.
Lu Xiaolian still didn't say anything, just looked at him.
"Then... come in and sit down. It's cold outside." So Yue Jiu let her in.
Without waiting for Yue Jiu's consent, Lu Xiaolian placed the food box on the chair. In addition to the bench, there was also a small chair with the thermos cup that Feng Aoqing gave to Yue Jiu on it.
"I really... don't need to..."
Suddenly, the window not far away opened with a snap.
Feng Aoqing stretched her head out and said, "Sister, why don't you give me some food? I'm hungry!"
"Oh my God, why are you staying in this room? I was wondering why you were staying here today." Lu Xiaolian left Yue Jiu and ran to the window to look inside.
I saw Han Lang lying on the bed and fell asleep.
"He's injured so badly, yet we still have to guard him! That's Han Lang! The man who can go to heaven and earth! How can he be injured like this!" Lu Xiaolian leaned her upper body into the window to look.
Then Han Lang coughed.
Feng Aoqing would wake up even if she turned over on the couch, let alone open the window to talk, she would have woken up long ago.
Lu Xiaolian quickly stepped back and shut up.
"That's not the point. The point is what food did you send to my Yuejiu? It smells so good in the middle of the night. It makes me cry with greed." Feng Aoqing pulled her hand and asked.
"No, I thought you have brothers guarding your courtyard at night, so I... Hey, let me get it for you. Do you want soup or bread? Or both?"
"I'll have half a piece of bread. Don't let it get you more than nine pieces."
Feng Aoqing got half a cake and closed the window.
She sighed and said, "I need to prepare another betrothal gift."
Lu Xiaolian sat over, took the hot pancake and handed it to Yue Jiu, then started to make soup.
"I......"
"Have you ever had a full meal in order to jump higher?" Lu Xiaolian felt very distressed.
"Actually, I ate enough. A full stomach gives me strength. But having an extra meal at night is really unnecessary."
"Okay, okay, that's just unnecessary." When Lu Xiaolian heard this, she was so angry that she stood up and was about to leave.
Yue Jiu held her back and said, "But I will definitely eat what you give me."
