Princess Cheng successfully obtained the new agreement for the grilled fish and left the General's Mansion with Prince Cheng, feeling satisfied. Of course, little Wei Yu also got the fruit salad recipe he had been longing for.
Just before getting into the carriage, Wei Yu left a message saying, "You must arrive at my house early for the banquet the day after tomorrow."
For the people of Ganzhou City, the weather this year is not as cold as in previous years.
Perhaps due to the drought, there hasn't been a single heavy snowfall in just a month or two before the Lunar New Year.
In the past, by this time, Ganzhou would have been covered with a thick layer of snow.
People used to complain about the terrible weather, saying it snowed all the time.
Nowadays, people are praying for a heavy snowfall, because snowfall means the weather will return to normal, it means there will be water in the sky, and the drought will end next year.
Unfortunately, it seems that God is deliberately working against us. With the New Year approaching, there hasn't been a single snowfall, not even a light one. All that's left is the howling of the cold wind.
Early in the morning, Lin Zao led several chubby little children out of the general's mansion. The children didn't need any help from the adults and eagerly climbed onto the carriage.
The reason the children were all dressed so chubby was because Lin Zao had dressed them all in cotton-padded coats.
Lin Zao had noticed that people in this era had not yet discovered cotton, and most of their clothing was made of linen or silk, which was used by the wealthy.
There was no such thing as cotton-padded clothing. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, people wore many layers of silk or used animal fur to keep warm, and they could also burn charcoal in their houses.
Poor people would wear more layers of clothing and carry them themselves. At night, they would spread more straw on their beds and cover themselves with reed quilts, or if they could afford it, they would use cotton quilts to keep warm.
It is said that some poor people who didn't even have many clothes used sand to keep warm in winter. They would heat the sand and spread it on their beds to keep warm.
In short, people in ancient times also used their ingenuity to come up with various ways to keep warm.
Lin Zao thought to herself that she hadn't thought of planting cotton before, but she would definitely start planting it after the Spring Festival.
By the time Lin Zao realized what was happening, everyone was seated. Tian Bu'er and Sun Ding each drove a carriage towards the Prince's Mansion.
Today, only Tang Jian and Lin Zao went to the Prince's Mansion, along with four children: Chen Wen, Ma Qingping, and Hu Tou Ya Ya.
Including Sun Ding and Tian Bu'er who accompanied them, along with two nannies and maids, and some gifts, the two carriages were just right.
After successfully entering the Prince's Mansion, Hu Tou and Ya Ya skillfully led their two older brothers to find Wei Yu. They came to the Prince's Mansion for classes almost every day, so they were very familiar with the place and didn't need anyone to greet them.
Tang Jian took Sun Dingtian and Bu Er to see Prince Cheng first, while Lin Zao took the nanny and maid to see Princess Cheng. The family split into three different destinations.
After Lin Zao paid her respects to Princess Cheng, Princess Cheng pulled her along to meet the guests.
Today's guests are almost all trusted subordinates and confidants of King Cheng, so their families will naturally be well received by the Queen Consort.
Princess Cheng brought Lin Zao along because she wanted to introduce her to these people. She felt that although Lin Zao was intelligent and resourceful, she rarely associated with these social circles of wealthy women.
Such a life is too monotonous. I should make more close friends and have small parties every now and then. That would make life more colorful.
