A retired aunt traveled through time and space, and her daughter became rich!

Chapter 183: Meeting the Princess on the Mountain Road

The commotion here also attracted Lin Yanniang's attention.

The cup of noodles that Lin Yanniang ate was, in fact, only three or four mouthfuls of noodles if you think about it seriously. If it were a big man, he could finish it in one bite.

When Lin Yanniang heard the noise on the road, she had already quickened her pace. By now, she had finished the noodles in her cup, leaving only half a cup of soup.

She put the cup down.

In fact, I feel a little regretful.

After all, I don’t know why, the taste of this soup is particularly fresh and tempting.

She also looked to the other side and happened to meet the noble lady's eyes.

Both of them were slightly stunned.

The noble lady couldn't help but smile and spoke.

"Eh? Isn't this the third wife of Duke He's Mansion?"

Lin Yanniang also recognized the other person at this time. This noble lady was a very important person in the capital.

Isn’t she the Princess of Qing?

Although the branch of Prince Qing's Mansion is very far away from the current emperor, the Prince Qing's Mansion has been a transcendent existence among the royal family since seventy years ago.

The first Prince Qing was the cousin of a deceased emperor.

That Majesty came to power with cruel means, quite stained with the blood of several of his brothers and cousins.

Once he gets to the top, he will naturally want to gild his face.

This cousin who supported him was weak and quiet, and could only get the title of General of the State. But in order to show that he still had some brotherly love, he made an exception and conferred him the title of Prince of Qing.

This Prince Qing was originally just a concubine's son, but after receiving such a huge benefit, he became even more honest and did not cause any trouble. During every festival, he would play the role of an extremely loyal member of the royal family... Later on, he even stepped forward when an assassin was trying to assassinate the prince in the hunting ground... Although it didn't do much, it was enough to show his loyalty.

It was precisely this achievement that allowed the throne of their branch to be passed down peacefully to the third generation.

Isn’t this noble lady the current Princess Consort of Qing County?

The Princess of Qing County is truly a mascot among the noble ladies in Beijing.

This princess can be seen at almost every banquet held by the royal family.

The Princess of Qing County was not of high birth. She was just the daughter of a minor official of the fifth rank. When she was a girl, she did not have any outstanding talents or abilities. The reason why she was favored by the Prince of Qing County was because of her good looks. She had a gentle appearance, fair skin, and looked like she was easy to bear.

It turned out that although the Prince Qing's Mansion was a mascot in the royal family, unfortunately each generation of Prince Qing was weak and sickly, had a short lifespan, and had few offspring.

After Princess Princess Qing entered the palace, she lived up to her good looks and gave birth to a daughter and a son for the Prince of Qing, who was the only son in two generations.

Five years ago, the old Prince Qing, who was less than fifty years old, passed away. The crown prince inherited the title, and this woman became the Princess of Qing.

Although this princess's status is not low, she is mediocre in all aspects. Therefore, no matter which banquet she attends, she is like a conspicuous background board.

Princess Qing had seen Lin Yanniang several times at banquets at the Fifth Princess's home. How could she not recognize this celebrity who suddenly appeared beside the Fifth Princess?

Lin Yanniang quickly stood up and pulled Aunt Su.

Pay your respects to Princess Qing first.

"Meet the Princess."

"Meet the Princess."

Aunt Su also followed Lin Yanniang's example and bowed to the noble lady.

But I muttered a few words in my heart.

Hey, if you haven’t been to the capital, you won’t know that your title is too small!

Before in Tongcheng, she basically didn't need to be so respectful when meeting anyone.

But when I came to the capital, I met a noble lady and it turned out to be the princess of a county prince!

Fortunately, among these ladies, they only need to bend their knees and bow, but they don’t need to kneel down.

A smile appeared on Princess Qing’s round, white face.

"Get up! This old lady is..."

Princess Qing was actually also muttering to herself.

It seems that this old lady should be the elder of Mrs. He San, but she also knows the old lady in the Heguo Mansion! Not this one!

"Princess, this is my mother from my natal family. She just came from Tongcheng."

After hearing this, Princess Qing looked at Aunt Su carefully.

The old lady of the Lin family is dressed quite elegantly!

Just look at the pearl jewelry she is wearing, it is actually silver-gray!

This color is not as eye-catching as white, but when worn by this old lady, it looks particularly calm and beautiful.

It looks very simple at first glance, but if you take a closer look, you will gasp!

This kind of silver-gray pearl must be extremely rare and much more valuable than the white one, right?

"Ah, it turns out to be Madam Lin. Please stop being so polite."

Princess Qing's mind was racing with thoughts.

Last year, the fifth princess went to live outside the capital for a few months, and when she came back, she had a fit. Not only did she divorce her former husband, she also quickly found a new husband, and got pregnant again...

At that time, there were rumors in the capital that the Fifth Princess had left the capital to meet a reclusive master, who gave the Fifth Princess some advice, and that allowed the Fifth Princess to cut the Gordian knot, change her husband, and finally get what she wished for.

Of course, with Princess Qing's knowledge, she couldn't guess what connection the reclusive master had with the old lady from a small place in front of her.

She was still daydreaming when she felt someone tug at her sleeve.

Of course, there was no one else who could be so rude except her beloved son.

"Mother concubine, mother concubine!"

The little fat boy strongly reminded Princess Qing to ask him what that delicious-smelling thing was!

Just now he was watching three people eating, and when they came over, the lady had already finished eating!

Look at the two little guys who are only a few years younger than him.

The girl also put down the cup at this moment!

Only the short boy was still holding the cup in one hand and the fork in the other. He rolled the squiggle of food on the fork and savoured it in small bites, seeming to be intoxicated by the food.

Oh, if you don’t ask, they will eat it all!

Princess Qing was also a little embarrassed.

It’s just a piece of food, what’s its value?

She had someone get several of the magical fruit that was said to be miraculous in the capital last year, and gave a lot of it to her chubby little son.

But wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask in front of others?

Fortunately, Lin Yanniang was a knowledgeable and interesting person, and she took the initiative to speak.

"Young Master, do you think this instant noodle in my house is something special?"

The little fat boy's eyes sparkled, "Madam, is this called instant noodles?"

As he asked, he sucked his saliva unconsciously.

Princess Qing scolded with a smile, "There are so many delicious foods in the mansion, but you don't even look at them. Now that you're outside, you're interested in other people's food!"

Lin Yanniang also laughed.

"It's just a worthless snack. If you like it, why not try it?"

She glanced at the people below, and they immediately moved.

The boiled water had not been used up yet, so it was put back on the stove.

Wait until it boils and then pour it into the cup. It only takes less than a cup of tea for the noodles to be ready.

A servant brought it over and placed it in front of the little fat man.

The little fat boy was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. After finally waiting until the food was no longer so hot, he could not wait to grab the small silver fork, picked up a bunch of interestingly curved noodles, and started to eat them with a sizzling sound.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the princess and the young girl who were sitting on the side and watching felt that the fragrance was very unusual and went straight into their noses.

"This instant noodle is really novel and interesting. I wonder if the old lady brought it from her hometown?"

Hearing what the Princess said, Lin Yanniang said hurriedly, "The Princess is right. This instant noodles was brought by my mother. It was also something she specially thought of for the convenience of traveling."

Aunt Su also smiled and said, "Young Master, if you don't mind, we still have some dry instant noodles here, so I'll give them to you."

The little fat boy, who was eating happily, nodded repeatedly.

"No problem, no problem! Old lady, thank you so much for giving me the delicious...instant noodles!"

Wow, although this looks like noodles, it is curly in shape and very interesting to eat. Moreover, compared with other noodles, it seems to be crispier and more fragrant. It is definitely a new and novel flavor that he has never tasted. Even the noodle soup seems to be fresher!

Although he didn't stop talking, his eyes were fixed on his servants as they took the box of instant noodles from the old lady.

There are at least ten yuan in that lunch box!

It’s ten dollars!

When he gets back, he will eat three pieces in one go!

Aunt Su's servants also taught the servants in the Prince's Mansion how to eat instant noodles. Of course, this method is also very simple, boil water, tear a small packet of soup ingredients, add a piece of noodles, pour water to cover it, cover it, and soak half a cup of tea.

The little fat boy held the cup of instant noodles, and even after he had finished the noodles, he was reluctant to throw away the soup. He had to drink it all himself, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

The princess and the young girl couldn't help but look helpless.

My little fat boy just loves delicious food!

Seeing that the other party looked a little embarrassed, and Aunt Su and Lin Yanniang could only chat awkwardly if they stayed, he stood up and said goodbye.

When they arrived at Huangning Temple, Aunt Su said that she only believed in Su Xian and no other gods or Buddhas, and the two little ones were very shrewd and said they would only follow their grandmother, so only Lin Yanniang went to burn incense.

Lin Yanniang had no choice but to ask the servants around her to take Aunt Su for a stroll in the garden of Huangning Temple.

The Huangning Temple was a popular and wealthy place with plenty of money. Naturally, they had the financial resources to build the garden in the temple exquisitely, beautifully, spaciously and grandly, almost including the entire back mountain... There were truly exotic flowers and rocks, clear springs and streams, willows in the pond, and the scenery was magnificent.

Although Aunt Su's farm is quite beautiful, with springs, streams, flowers and plants, Aunt Su's financial resources are limited. She has invested in greenhouse farms and roads. Where would she get the spare money to create landscaping?

So Sujiazhuang is purely natural, and Huangning Temple is a work of art that is uniquely crafted by nature.

Aunt Su took her two children for a walk and came to a small stone arch bridge.

Under the small arch bridge is a half-acre pond where spring water gathers.

There are many lotus flowers planted in this pond. At this moment, small lotus tips have formed among the lotus leaves. Although they have not yet bloomed, one can already see that they are in five colors: red, white, pink, yellow and purple.

This is just the color. According to the servants, these lotus flowers not only have many varieties, but also many rare species.

Even though the pond is only half an acre, it would have cost more than several thousand taels just to transplant the lotus flowers.

The last time Sister Shan came was in autumn, and the lotus flowers were long gone.

This time, when I saw these lotus flowers with buds, I naturally looked at them intently and was very interested.

Not to mention Hu Ge'er. He often heard Shan Jie'er and his cousins ​​mention Huangning Temple in the mansion. He had imagined it in his mind countless times. Now he was more excited and delighted than Shan Jie'er.

"Sister, there is a blooming flower over there!"

Hu Ge'er was sharp-eyed and pulled Shan Jie'er to point it out to her.

It turned out that on the shore not far away, there was a small white lotus flower hidden among the green lotus leaves.

Sister Shan raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Su inquiringly, "Grandma, shall we go over and take a look?"

Aunt Su nodded and led the children down the bridge to the shore.

After getting off the bridge and walking a few dozen steps, Aunt Su and the others realized that there were already other people here.

They were two little girls about five or six years old. They looked very similar, both were pretty and looked very cute.

Just by looking at their attire and the seven-treasure gold necklaces hanging around their necks, you can tell that these two girls are from wealthy families and are not from ordinary families.

"Xiao Liu, wait here. I'll go pick that flower!"

"I picked that flower and it's mine!"

"It's okay, I'll let you take a few more glances after I take it off!"

"I'll go too! I can pick them too!"

The voices of the two little girls were also soft and pleasant to the ears, but unfortunately, the content of the conversation made Aunt Su feel uneasy.

There is melon!

And it has a big melon!

The two little girls from wealthy families were playing by the water without their maids or wet nurses. They were drooling over the lotus flowers on the shore and were vying to pick them.

Obviously Xiaoliu is not as smart as Xiaowu!

It's not that this aunt has a mean heart. Why does she feel that Xiao Wu just wants to seduce Xiao Wu...

Before Aunt Su could finish her thought, she heard a splash and then the little girl's scream.

"Ah! Xiaoliu, what are you doing? Why did you jump in? You can't pick the lotus flowers here!"

"The masters in the temple all said so!"

Sure enough, Xiaoliu was provoked by Xiaowu and stretched out his arms to reach the white lotus. However, he was small and his arms were short, and his feet were not stable, so he fell into the pond.

The water in this pond is not deep, less than an adult's height.

But the one who fell in was a little girl who was not even as tall as the waist!

This silly Xiaoliu probably can’t swim. As soon as he fell in, he started flailing his hands and feet and it seemed that he had drunk several gulps of water.

Xiaowu, who pushed Xiaoliu into the water, was also panic-stricken at this moment, "Ah! Xiaoliu fell in! Help! Help!"

But the little girl's voice was not very loud, and she looked like she was frightened and stood there motionless.
