After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 716

Chapter 716 Northern Barbarian Princess

In mid-July, another 800-mile rush was sent to Kyoto.

This time, everyone in the imperial capital knew that the Northern Barbarian envoys were coming.

The neighbors near Qin Yao's house are talking about the envoy's visit to Beijing the most.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is on lockdown, there is nothing new to learn from the fight between the eldest princess and the crown prince. The people of the imperial capital are feeling bored. This Northern Barbarian envoy has arrived just in time, and everyone can finally change a new topic to talk about.

Therefore, when the news came from Beilou Pass that the Northern Barbarian envoys were about to arrive in Beijing, everyone in Kyoto was very excited.

Qin Yao stood a little closer to the group of sisters chatting at the door of her house, and she could hear everyone discussing this matter.

To the west, the Qiu family all work as errands in the Xishi Mutual Market Supervision Bureau, which is in charge of foreign trade. They may not be first-hand with the news in Shengguo, but things outside of Shengguo are not as fresh as theirs in the entire Kuanzhengfang. of.

Old Mrs. Qiu said while picking up the soles of her shoes: "Don't you know that the leader of the Northern Barbarians' envoy to our Sheng Kingdom this time is the uncle of the Barbarian King, the famous Northern Barbarian regent King Huyanchan. "

As soon as the name of the regent came out, Wang Jin's purchasing woman suddenly showed an angry look in her eyes, "This King Chan has killed so many people in our Dasheng, and he actually dares to come?"

Others knew that all the men of the Wang family died on the battlefield, and not in the fragmented civil war, but in the northern border troops when the Sheng Kingdom was about to unify the world and the Northern Barbarians took the opportunity to invade.

Aunt Yu then patted the Wang family buyer's wife on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "We are enemies of the country and we will never forget it, but now that the two countries have a truce, for the sake of future generations, we still have to put the overall situation first."

The Caimai woman lamented. She must have thought of the young master at home, so she endured her harsh words.

But he turned his head and pouted at the ground, wishing he could spit on King Chan's face!

When everyone saw this, they came to comfort him one after another. After they were coaxed, the big guy continued to ask Old Mrs. Qiu if there was any news.

“Didn't you say that the Northern Barbarian mission also brought a princess this time? Which princess is it?” Zhang Guizhi asked curiously.

The Man King not only had many aunts, but also many sisters, even daughters. When they married Princess Huiyang, they also had two.

It's just that she doesn't have a son yet, otherwise the princess would be even more wronged.

Old Mrs. Qiu said: "It's the compatriot of the Barbarian King and his mother. What's the name of Ti and what kind of incense is it?"

It was really difficult for her as an old woman to remember. This barbarian's name was so long that it took her a long time to remember it. She slapped her thigh and said, "Huhe Tixiang!"

Everyone shook their heads, they didn't know, they didn't know her, but if she could follow the envoy to the capital, this Princess Huhe Tixiang should have quite a status in the Northern Barbarians.

"How old are you? You brought the princess here because you want to recruit a consort from our Sheng Kingdom and want to kiss her, right?"

At the mention of this, Qin Yao's spirit of gossip also ignited. She passed the pumpkin seeds in her hand and shared them with everyone while listening with open ears.

Mrs. Qiu shook her head, "I don't know about that, but this princess is young, only sixteen years old. According to the rules of the Northern Barbarians, a royal woman can only get married when she is eighteen years old. She should not be married yet."

Aunt Yu clapped her hands and said, "That's it! Princess Beiman wants to come to us to choose her consort!"

As soon as she raised her voice, everyone in Kuanzhengfang knew that a princess had arrived from the Northern Barbarians and that they wanted to choose a consort in the capital.

This news spread from ten to ten, and somehow it reached the ears of the unmarried young men of aristocratic families in Kyoto, who were so frightened that they wanted to hide.

Who doesn't know that the poor place in the Northern Barbarians is miserable, it's extremely cold, and I heard that the people living there are still tents, not even as good as the stables in their houses.

Not to mention the food, every meal was either goat milk or mutton, not even vegetables. I can't even eat anything, and I can't even **** smoothly.

In this kind of environment, can Huhe Tixiang grow well?

He is black and strong, and his mouth is full of yellow teeth when he smiles. Just imagining it, these noble young men from aristocratic families would make all the hairs on their bodies stand up.

But this kind of "good thing" is really not enough for a family. On the contrary, those princes, princes and princes should be more careful.

Of course, there are also dandy boys who feel that they can endure hardship, are not afraid of an ugly wife, and cannot survive in the imperial capital. They feel that they may be able to rise to prominence through this, and they are already secretly planning how to create a chance encounter with Princess Huhe Tixiang that will last forever.

Qin Yao stood at the door of her house all afternoon. She was full of melons. When she saw Awang and Yin Le coming back with a bunch of fresh melons and fruits, she went home satisfied.

Seeing Qin Yao enter the door, Yin Le immediately said excitedly: "Master, there are melon fields in Kyoto!"

“We went to Bei City today and saw a lot of courgettes being sold. I thought it was a new thing, so I went over to take a look. Isn't this the watermelon from our village?”

Qin Yao was greatly surprised and quickly walked into the hall. There were two round green melons on the table. She laughed and said, "Finally, I have a melon to eat!"

She just said, this summer always felt like something was missing. As soon as I saw these two melons today, I realized it. Would summer be complete without watermelons?

Qin Yao first poured herself a glass of cold water to quell her greed, and asked Awang to put down the food in his hands and carry the two large watermelons he bought to the backyard.

Let it be chilled in the well first, and then we can eat it after everyone in the family has gathered. It is so cold that I can't wait to think about it.

Awang responded, picked up two big watermelons and went to the backyard.

Yin Le quickly put away the things he bought, took the ingredients to the kitchen and put them away, and put the snacks into the food boxes by categories.

The freshly bought peach cakes are still warm and crispy. Let's give them to the master to taste first.

Today I also bought a bag of glutinous rice and a bag of mung beans. Awang said he was going to use them to make cold rice cakes with mung bean paste to relieve the heat.

Yin Le poured the rice and mung beans into the corresponding pottery jars, then wiped the sweat on his face with a clean handkerchief and walked back to the hall to talk to Qin Yao excitedly:

“Master, have you heard that the Northern Barbarian envoys are coming?”

Qin Yao was eating peach cakes, unable to open her mouth, and nodded, looking at her to ask if she had any new news.

Yin Le sat down on the chair next to her and approached mysteriously: "Who do you think the emperor sent to pick up the envoy?"

Qin Yao shook her head and said she didn't know, but seeing Yin Le's excitement, she tentatively guessed: "Is it the national master?"

Yin Le, who had originally planned to pass it off, felt frustrated. He took off the handkerchief on his forehead to absorb sweat and nodded boredly, "Yes, it's the Imperial Master. I just heard it from people on the street."

Qin Yao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, the prince was banned due to Wu Sheng's incident. As the man behind the prince, Sikong Jian should stay in the house to avoid suspicion.

As it turned out, it had only been a month since the prince's confinement, and Sikong Jian became the receptionist.

Is it possible that the Emperor doesn't want to get into the matter of King Feng?

“Hiss~” Qin Yao took a breath, and she suddenly thought of a question.
