"Sister, when will we pass through the city again? My little belly says it wants to eat something delicious." Chu Hongrui patted his little belly and said cutely.
Ning An was amused by his cute little appearance and said yes.
Then he looked at the maid and said, "Ask where he is now. Our young master is greedy."
"Yes." The maid also held back her laughter and asked the guard driving the carriage outside.
He quickly returned and reported, "My lord, if nothing unexpected happens, we will arrive at Chengnan Prefecture tomorrow. We can rest in Linjian Town tonight."
"Did you hear that?" Ning An looked at Chu Hongrui gently.
Chu Hongrui nodded, leaned on Ning An's arms and fell asleep soon after.
Ning An hugged him, looked at him tenderly, and patted him gently with his hands.
Princess Cheng was the daughter of a general. Not long after she gave birth to Ning'an, she went to war. Ning'an was raised by the Queen Mother since childhood.
Later, when Princess Cheng was on the march, she accidentally fell into an ice cave. If Prince Cheng had not jumped in to pull her out, and his soldiers had not quickly and efficiently chiseled open the ice, both of them would have drowned in the river.
The man was rescued, but his foundation was damaged.
Ning An was named Princess Ning An when she was nine years old, and her name was completely changed from a title.
Ning'an Prefecture was granted to her as a fiefdom, adjacent to Qiong'an, the fiefdom of Prince Cheng.
The nine-year-old Ning An returned to her parents and was deeply loved by them and the royal family. She was even more noble than the royal princess.
The good news is that four years ago, Princess Cheng finally became pregnant again. Although there were some bumps along the way, she gave birth to the child safely.
Because Princess Cheng had a poor foundation, the child was weak and sickly since childhood. Apart from Emperor Yongsheng and his entourage, no one else knew that the Cheng Palace had already had a crown prince.
The fake Jingxu didn't even know that the current crisis had not yet been resolved, and another big crisis was coming towards him.
Everything that is happening now has never been written in books.
Now Qiu Yinong is the one in control and knows some of the directions. She knew from the beginning that Princess Ning'an was coming to Chengnan.
Right now, all we have to do is wait. When Ge Qingqing's father arrives and Ning An arrives, this big show will begin.
"This, I like to eat this. I didn't expect that we can still eat lotus root in autumn."
After dinner, Qiu Yinong and the other two went to the vegetable market.
The old man selling vegetables was a little stunned. He had never seen a rich girl come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables in person. This was the first time he had seen it.
"Girl, these lotus roots are fresh. I dug them out from the pond this morning. They're so sweet."
"Then give me a few." Qiu Yinong also thought that the lotus root was very good.
Qingsong bent down to choose and quickly made his selection.
The old man cheerfully weighed it, then said, "Five pounds and six ounces, so just give me four cents."
"So cheap?" Ge Qingqing was stunned. She didn't expect that so many lotus roots would only cost four cents.
The old man laughed and started talking: "It's just a small business, and we don't make much money. A girl like you who comes from a big family naturally doesn't know these things."
"A meat bun costs two cents, a bowl of plain noodles also costs two cents, but a pound of meat only costs five or six cents."
Ge Qingqing was shocked after hearing this. She really didn't know.
Looking at Qiu Yinong and the other two, he saw that they didn't look surprised at all. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Yinong, why aren't you and Qinghe surprised at all?"
"I come from a farming family myself, so I know all this!" Qiu Yinong said with a smile.
Qiu Qinghe rolled her eyes at Qiu Yinong, then said, "Although I live in town, I often accompany my mother to the market to buy vegetables, so I know about this as well."
"So that's how it is. I really didn't know." Ge Qingqing said this with some embarrassment.
You can really learn a lot from Yinong, Ge Qingqing rolled her eyes.
"Yinong, can I stay with you for a while? I don't want to go back with my father."
Qiu Yinong glanced at her, smiled and nodded: "Sure, but I still have to travel a lot, so you may only be able to bring a few servants with you. Too many people will slow down the movement."
"No problem." Ge Qingqing agreed immediately.
Qiu Yinong was amused by her, and then said meaningfully: "Think carefully, I have plans for you too. If you follow me, you might fall into a pit and be unable to climb out."
"Don't be afraid. What can I expect from you? I just hope you don't get tricked by me." Ge Qingqing said with an expression of "I'm not afraid. You must be kidding me."
Qiu Yinong's eyes were full of smiles. In that case, I will not hesitate to attack you. In the future... you will be my fifth sister-in-law.
After buying the ingredients, Qiu Yinong and the others didn’t stay outside for long and went straight back to the Lu family.
Ruyuan quickly got the news and rushed over. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she anxiously asked, "County Lady, there has been some neglect at home. How could you enter the kitchen?"
Qiu Yinong looked at Ruyuan helplessly: "Cousin, you are too polite. Don't forget, you are my cousin for the time being."
Ruyuan quickly came to her senses. Fortunately, the cook in the kitchen was frightened and ran to inform them. Because she was a little fat and walked slowly, she had not come in yet.
"Yes, yes, cousin, but is there any neglect at home?"
"No, don't be nervous. Qingqing is just craving food. She knows my cooking is delicious, so she's pestering me to cook for her."
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that you can cook, cousin?"
Ruyuan breathed a sigh of relief and was also very curious. Although she was a commoner county lady, Qiu Yinong had such a temperament that no one could ignore her.
Now that I know she can cook, I will be surprised.
Qiu Qinghe quickly said, "Sister Ruyuan, you don't know, she's a very good cook."
"Then doesn't that mean we can all take advantage of Miss Huang and have some delicious food tonight?" Ru Yuan said in surprise.
Qiu Qinghe nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, it's really delicious."
"If you have time, Sister Ruyuan can come to our Taohua Village. The snacks and porcelain made by the snack workshop in our village are very good. We also have a brick kiln, silver charcoal, and so on."
Not only Ru Yuan was surprised, but Ge Qingqing also became curious.
"I always hear you mention Taohua Village. Is it really as good as you say?"
"Of course, Taohua Village is beautiful. In spring, it's covered with bright pink peach blossoms. We also have seasonal peach blossom powder, peach blossom cakes, and peach blossom wine."
"It's autumn now, and the osmanthus trees are starting to emit their fragrance. When we left the village, the aroma was already filling the air."
"When it gets colder, there will be various chrysanthemum banquets, and you can enjoy plum blossoms in winter. We also have a fairy tree in our village, a huge beech tree. It is the guardian fairy tree of our Taohua Village."
After listening to Qiu Qinghe's introduction, everyone present began to yearn for it.
"That sounds great." Ruyuan's eyes sparkled.
While preparing the food, Qiu Yinong instructed Qing Yuan, "Go to my room and bring the map of Taohua Village to show to my cousin and the others."
Qing Yuan bowed and walked towards the courtyard where Qiu Yinong was temporarily staying.
