This matter is settled.

Jiang Jiuniang continued to be busy with business matters. Sometimes the dog would follow her, and sometimes she would practice or read in the military camp by herself. Although she did not go to the academy to study, she learned more during this period than in the academy. There is still a lot to learn.

Peng Yuan followed Jiang Jiuniang every day. Whether it was learning medicine or business, she learned everything with gusto.

After getting along for a long time, I can even discover Jiang Jiuniang’s personality charm. This woman is like a piece of luminous gold. She shines no matter where she is, making people want to get close to her uncontrollably.

A free clinic is held every few days, and now Peng Yuan checks her own pulse. Jiang Jiuniang is warming herself by the fire and eating. If you don’t understand anything, just ask her directly.

But Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian took people out every day to check the terrain and disgust the Dongting people. Anyway, they never took action and lived a relatively stable life.

At this time, Jiang Jiuniang’s letter to the queen also arrived in the capital.

Although the queen had given birth a long time ago, there was no good place to go in the winter. The emperor knew how to care about people, so he didn’t need her to do anything except to walk around after meals when necessary. It's to stay in bed and recuperate.

In the past, Jiang Jiuniang and Peng Yuan came to the palace every now and then to talk to her, but now that they had gone to the border, she didn't even have anyone to talk to, and she was almost bored to the point of moldiness.

At this time, someone came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the old lady and the eldest lady of the Lu family have come to visit your Majesty."

The Queen was very curious. Under normal circumstances, officials If the family members want to enter the palace, they must first apply. Only with the consent of the nobles in the palace can the family members of the officials enter the palace.

Although the Lu family has a high and powerful position, without Jiang Jiuniang, other family members will not enter the palace without any reason and without respecting etiquette. Now that both Lu Baichuan and his wife are gone, the old lady of the Lu family and the sister-in-law of the Lu family suddenly After arriving, the queen immediately felt that the Lu family might have encountered some trouble and asked her to blame them.

She sat up straight and said: "Please come in quickly. I will clean up and go out."

Tell the empress that they will be leaving soon. They just want to send something to the empress without any trouble."

The palace maid took Sun's words to her, and the empress relaxed. It seemed that it was not a big deal.

"Then just invite them in."

It was cold outside, and the queen was just wearing her middle coat. She was too lazy to bother with it, so she just hugged Mrs. Yu and leaned against the bed. Waiting for Sun and Yu to come in.

The two of them came in politely and bowed. The queen smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here. Aunt and sister-in-law, you don't want toYou're so polite, sit down and talk. ”

The queen was smiling, she really treated Sun and Yu as her own relatives.

She had met Sun several times before and liked this grown-up lady very much. Wise elders. As for the Lu family’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Yu, although she has never met her before, she has often heard Jiang Jiuniang mention it. Someone who can make Jiang Jiuniang miss her so much is naturally not bad, so she likes her as well.

The two of them thanked each other, and Mrs. Yu stopped talking. She just came with her mother-in-law and tried not to disturb the noble lady.

Mrs. Sun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, these days She looks really good. My third daughter-in-law was also thinking about my mother-in-law's body at the border, so I wrote some medicinal recipes to my eldest daughter-in-law, and asked her to make some nourishing food for my mother-in-law and send it in to my mother-in-law. "

As he spoke, Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu hurriedly handed the food box she was carrying to the palace maid, and said with some restraint: "A commoner's wife is showing off her ugliness. I hope your empress will like it." ”

Now that Boss Lu has not been officially conferred an official position, she can only call herself a commoner’s wife.

When the queen heard that there was something to eat, she immediately became happy and waved to the palace maid to serve it. Show it to her.

The palace maid brought out all the food according to the procedure. First, she used a silver needle to test the poison, and then the palace lady tasted it before bringing it to the queen.

The queen took a sip of the soup and immediately smiled and rolled her eyes: "You two are really thoughtful. It's really rare that something made in this cold weather is still warm when it is brought to the palace. "

"I have long heard that my sister-in-law is good at cooking. It is true! ”

The Queen has also eaten the food brought by Jiang Jiuniang before. Some of the pickles were made by Yu and she also praised them, but they were not as good as those she praised in front of others.
< br /> His craftsmanship was recognized by the queen, and Mrs. Yu was also very happy and said with a smile: "It's all the credit of the third younger brother and sister. Without that recipe, the civilian woman wouldn't have done it. "

A few people exchanged pleasantries, and after the queen finished drinking a bowl of soup, Mrs. Sun got down to business.

"I rushed into the palace today, but there was actually something else. I can forgive you for one thing. "

As she said that, she took out the letter written by Jiang Jiuniang and presented it, explaining: "We received the letter in the morning. The third daughter-in-law said that it was urgent, so we just made the medicinal diet. And delivered. "

The queen smiled and said it was okay, then took the letter and opened it to read.

This letter was written specifically to her by Jiang Jiuniang. No one else had read it. Sealed.

The queen became more and more satisfied with the Lu family, and then read the letter intently.

In the letter, Jiang Jiuniang mentioned the hard life of the people on the border,She decided to help, and there were a large number of cattle and sheep in the border areas, which were very suitable for dairy and wool businesses. She was already preparing to do it. Peng Yuan was also involved. She wanted to ask the Queen if she was interested in joining?

In addition, the business she is planning to start now is the wool business. Wool is very effective in keeping out the cold and the price is cheaper than other coats. If it can be used in the military, it is a good choice. I hope the Queen will consider it. one time.

We are all smart people. Although Jiang Jiuniang didn’t say it clearly, the queen already understood what she meant.

“Jiu Niang is really a clever girl, she can find her way no matter where she is!”

She smiled and joked, and then added: “Auntie Lao and My sister-in-law made a special trip. I already know what Jiu Niang means, but I can’t make a decision yet. I have to ask the emperor what he means. I will tell her the result on my own, so you don’t have to worry. "

The two of them laughed and said it was not troublesome, and the queen added: "I really like my sister-in-law's craftsmanship. If it is convenient, I would like to ask my sister-in-law to send it to the palace every three days."< br />
As she spoke, she waved, and the confidant maid next to her immediately brought a small box. When she opened it, there were at least twenty gold ingots inside.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly said: "You can't do it! Your Majesty is too polite. It's an honor for a woman to like you. It's not worth a few dollars. A woman will do a good job and won't let her do it." Disappointed, there is no need for these."

Mr. Yu said it truly, I really feel that it is just a bowl of medicinal food, there is no need to be so exaggerated.

But the queen insisted: "Please accept it quickly. This is also my wish. I will have trouble with my sister-in-law in the future."

Mrs. Yu couldn't refuse, so she They could only accept it, and then several people said a few more words before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, the confidant palace maid asked: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Lu's family has brought her medicinal recipes, and the cook in our small kitchen can also make them. Why does your Majesty insist on doing this?" What will Mrs. Lu do?"
