Chapter 104: The feelings that Hu Taoyun wanted to express took many twists and turns.
Without waiting to ask, the two were led by the waiter into the hot spring pool in the backyard.
The Furong Hot Spring has limited space, so Guizhier was flexible in the architectural design and used white granite to create an artificial hot spring.
When entertaining guests here, what matters is the elegance of artistic conception.
Moreover, men and women are different and cannot see each other.
When the hot springs and snow blend together, milky white vapor rises from the pool.
The hot air meets the falling snowflakes, creating crystal water droplets that drip onto the surface of the hot spring, creating ripples.
"What is this?" Mrs. Jintang stared at the transparent screen in front of her curiously.
She extended her delicate hand, her fingertips lightly touching the surface. The curtain was smooth and cold, yet through it she could still see the jade-like branches and trees within the courtyard.
She shuddered all over, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
This feels like... glass?
Usually, when princes and nobles entertained guests, the tea cups they used were made in official kilns, and glass cups were considered the rarest items.
For merchants like them, even if they have tens of millions of dollars in wealth, it is difficult to find success without connections.
And there is a large piece of glass here!
"What a miraculous skill! Could it be that I have arrived at the Penglai Fairy Island?"
Mrs. Jintang's voice trembled. She slowly stroked the glass, her heart beating faster and faster.
She guessed correctly. The glass curtain was made by the skilled craftsmen under King Yue's orders at Guizhi'er's request.
Just grind quartz sand, pure alkali, and gray-white jade rock into fine powder separately, then mix them and put them into the furnace to smelt them.
In winter, you can enjoy the snow scenery outdoors in hot springs, but the cold is unbearable. It is not very interesting to be confined to a small room.
A piece of floor-to-ceiling glass cleverly solved the problem.
Mrs. Jintang took off her clothes in a daze and relaxed her body and mind in the hot spring.
The bath attendants in men's and women's baths are of different genders, but their uniforms are the same.
"Madam, please turn around." The bath attendant skillfully poured the milk on the guest's back.
As the bath towels in their hands moved, the thin dirt on the guests' bodies fell off one after another. Not only did they not feel any discomfort, but they felt even more relaxed.
After rinsing herself, Mrs. Jintang added money without saying a word, just to enjoy the "pressing and massaging" service that the waiter had just mentioned.
The bath attendant opened a bottle of plum blossom dew according to the training procedure.
Apply the clear, transparent, light liquid all over Mrs. Jintang's body, while tapping and pressing with your hands in a unique rhythm.
Every movement is accompanied by stimulation to the acupoints.
Mrs. Jintang only felt a fresh and distant fragrance of plum blossoms coming from her nose, as if she had walked into a plum forest in winter.
With the massage of the acupoints, the muscle soreness of the whole day gradually dissipates, and the fatigue of the whole body is squeezed out of the body bit by bit along the meridians.
"Huh." She felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
On the other side, the soles of Mr. Shen's feet were pressed red.
After finishing, he slowly stood up, feeling his whole body relaxed, as if he had been reborn.
"Buying land is far from enough." He secretly made up his mind, "Why not join His Royal Highness Prince Yue in rebellion! Wouldn't it be wonderful to become an imperial merchant in the future?"
It's not that he is greedy for enjoyment, the strength displayed by the North should not be underestimated.
Of course, Chuan Chuan Xiang is indeed delicious!
Little did he know that His Royal Highness Prince Yue, to whom he wanted to surrender, was sitting idly next door.
Liang Yue took time out of his busy schedule to visit the Twelve Forts' villa to learn about their performance evaluation results.
He was wearing a robe with wide sleeves that was a mixture of dark purple and black, and the cross collar was embroidered with cloud patterns in silver thread.
The waist is tied very thinly, but it still retains the handsomeness that a man should have.
Miss Gui deliberately avoided meeting him all day long.
His Royal Highness Prince Yue only frowned slightly at first, but as time passed and the sky darkened, his expression became more solemn.
After a day of investigation, he had a clear idea.
The Qixian Villa and the ski resort are enough to demonstrate the characteristics of the North. When the reputation spreads, it will not only be wealthy businessmen who come to visit.
Any gentry and capable people who are willing to defect to Zhenbei will definitely come to visit.
The goal has been achieved.
But the corners of his lips were slightly raised, still revealing a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance.
"Hey! Why is Your Highness still here? Is there something important going on?"
Liang Yue raised his eyes slightly until a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
Although Miss Gui was extremely impatient, she still brought a plate of walnut cloud cake and greeted them in a polite manner.
Liang Yue's frown trembled slightly, and then slowly relaxed.
The lips that were originally pursed into a straight line also slightly lifted up, forming a noble and elegant arc.
"No problem, I came to check it out on the way." A gentle light appeared in his eyes.
On the celadon sunflower-shaped plate brought by Guizhier, the cloud-shaped cake was as thin as a cicada's wing.
The off-white cake is inlaid with brown walnut slices of various shapes.
I think it is made by stuffing pieces of walnut meat into rice flour, shaping it into a rectangular column, and then cutting it into thin slices with a knife.
Liang Yue stretched out his slender fingers to pick up a piece, and it tasted sweet, crispy and soft.
"This cake is exactly what I like." He spoke in a low voice with a slightly raised tone at the end.
"Walnuts are like clouds, just as the world is ever-changing."
A year ago, he was the new prefect of Zhenbei who had assumed an imposter's identity. A year later, the court in Hangzhou was facing internal and external troubles, while the northern border was prosperous and the situation had reversed.
Everything is unpredictable.
I'm afraid the current emperor could not have imagined that not only would the Northern Expedition fail, but even the Japanese pirates in the south would dare to clamor for a marriage alliance with Princess Yuhe.
"The building is about to collapse, young lady, you should also make some plans for yourself." Liang Yue turned his face away, "With your talent, it won't be difficult to become famous in the world."
The expression on his profile was obscure and difficult to discern in the candlelight.
"When the palace is renovated in the future, I wish to have a golden hairpin to adorn your makeup."
Liang Yue's voice gradually became weaker, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the jade pendant on his waist, revealing his inner tension.
The dragon seal and phoenix seal, and the emperor and empress jointly managing the government affairs, are not uncommon in history.
Tonight the moonlight emits a hazy light against the backdrop of snow.
Guizhier stared at him with eyes that were clear and bright, just like the shining stars in the night sky.
Liang Yue felt that the moonlight was so beautiful that he was dizzy.
What I wanted to express took many twists and turns, and wasn't clear, but that was okay, as it still left some room for myself.
Guizhier blinked.
What?
As a traveler from another world, if she really had ambition, it would be to overthrow the feudal dynasty and make the emperor disappear from history.
If she dares to do it, does King Yue dare to follow her?
Once she has been squeezed dry of her usefulness, she will be arrested as a demon, set on fire, and reduced to ashes.
This is her true fate!
"I have no intention of interfering with Your Highness's pursuit of the throne. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, whoever is qualified to assume the throne will be fine."
Guizhier said boldly.
She built the Qixian Villa not to help Liang Yue.
The people of the Twelve Forts earned some spare money and were able to spend the winter safely. They paid for Miss Gui to prepare a pig-killing meal, and the progress of the system task jumped to 99.5%.
What she cares more about is the simplest emotions brought by food.
The bigwigs have the world in their hearts and always misinterpret the facts in their own way.
"Your Highness praised the cloud cake. If you chew the walnuts and cake together, they taste the same," Guizhier replied sincerely. "I just want to sell it at a higher price."
She is a down-to-earth person and doesn't understand these romantic matters.
Liang Yue was choked by her blunt words.
There is a quiet and slightly lonely atmosphere in the air.
