Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Jiang Jiu nodded quickly: "No, I'm not ready to get married, nor am I ready to fall in love. In short, all this happened too suddenly, and I'm not ready."

Lu Yunyang let her go, half-lying there, lazily supporting his head with his hands, staring at Jiang Jiu with interest and laughing.

"Okay then. When you're ready, we'll be together. No rush. I'll wait for you..."

This time, Lu Yunyang drank the tea that Jiang Jiu poured for him.

Jiang Jiu looked at Lu Yunyang suspiciously, and gradually realized that Lu Yunyang was testing her just now.

In short, we are still one step behind.

Fortunately, his innocence was preserved.

The carriage soon arrived at Jiang Yuan's villa. Knowing that King Qi and Jiang Jiu would come together, the villa's housekeepers and guards came out to greet them.

Jiang Jiu looked up at the name of the villa: "Yuanyuan."

This name is really straightforward, so we might as well just call her Jiang Yuan Xiaoyuan.

Nanny Qian was standing next to the housekeeper. When she saw Jiang Jiu and Lu Yunyang, she hurried over to pay her respects.

"This old servant greets the prince, madam."

The housekeeper Guishu was older than Nanny Qian, and he knelt down with his men.

"Greetings, my Lord, madam."

Lu Yunyang slowly raised his hand and said, "Let's forget about the formalities. I'm staying in Madam's garden today. I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. Please forgive me."

He was quite polite in what he said, but he was not polite at all and took Jiang Jiu straight to the yard.

Nanny Qian followed Jiang Jiu and enthusiastically introduced the situation of the villa.

This yard itself is a mountain, with beautiful scenery everywhere.

There are farmlands at the foot of the mountain, and the farmlands are connected to the village, where tenants live. In early winter, cabbages are planted in the fields and have just begun to grow. They are green and lush, and the leaves are covered with white snow that has not melted yet.

Further up is the orchard. The fruit trees have begun to shed their leaves. There are many kinds of fruit trees, including peach trees, pear trees, and persimmon trees that look like red lanterns.

The persimmons are still there, waiting to be picked.

"Is this a peach tree? It must be very beautiful in the spring when the peach blossoms are in full bloom." Jiang Jiu didn't know the difference between grains and fruit trees, but he could recognize the fruits.

Aunt Qian smiled and said, "These fruit trees were planted by the villagers. There is a cannery at the foot of the mountain. The best fruits are first sent to the people in the other courtyards, and then sent to the other shopkeepers."

"Finally, we make the fruits into canned syrup and sell them in shops. We have canned peaches, canned pears, canned apples, canned hawthorns. Since there are a lot of persimmons, we make them into dried persimmon cakes."

Jiang Yao is determined to make money and will do anything, but she also makes her tenants very wealthy.

"The villagers living down the mountain are probably living much better than ordinary people."

Aunt Qian said proudly, "That's right. Many people want to become our tenants, but we don't allow them. It's their fault that they didn't choose to follow the owner in the first place."

After walking through the orchard, we came to the first yard. It was a wooden house with tatami mats, a sliding door, and a fence wall. The decoration inside could be clearly seen from the outside.

Courtyards like this one get bigger and more luxurious the higher you go up the mountain.

Finally, Nanny Qian brought Jiang Jiu to the top floor, which was a large courtyard like a palace, with rockery, flowing water, and crabapple flowers.

The same tatami, Tang-style architecture and screens, the foundations underneath are all made of very thick wooden piles, and the most luxurious thing is that all the windows are glass.

The whole yard is spotlessly clean, and the sunlight shines through the glass, making it look like glazed glass.

There aren't many ornaments in the house, but the wood used in the construction, the glass used in the windows, and the cushions and furniture are all luxurious.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the maids serving inside stood at the door to welcome Jiang Jiu and King Qi.

Lu Yunyang turned his head and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Jiu: "Together."

Jiang Jiu smiled slightly and took off his shoes first. The maid bent down and put the shoes on the shelf beside him, then handed him a pair of clogs.

Lu Yunyang raised his eyebrows and asked the maid to change his shoes into a pair of clogs.

After entering the room, Jiang Jiu left his clogs outside, and Lu Yunyang followed suit.

When I opened the door of the room, a wave of hot air hit me in the face.

Jiang Jiu was surprised: "This room is so warm, even in winter you don't need to wear too thick clothes."

Uncle Gui smiled proudly: "Hot water flows through it, and the house is like spring all year round."

It turned out to be natural floor heating, which is really enjoyable.

After entering the room, the smooth floor gave off a warm feeling. The room was very large, divided only by screens and lattice cabinets. It was obvious that not many people could enter this room.

There is only one main seat and two guest seats, all located in the main hall. They are covered with a long white carpet and a coffee table. The main seat has a soft pillow.

As soon as Jiang Jiu sat down, he didn't want to get up: "This is so comfortable."

On the left is the bedroom. Although it looks simple, the bed curtain is indeed made of gauze, which is breathable and has a hazy feeling. There is a large wardrobe with an antique style. The most surprising thing is that there is a dressing mirror, which is more than one person tall and made of mercury.

Jiang Jiu stood forward and could clearly see the pores on his face.

She wiped it, but was not too surprised, because there are many such things in modern times.

Lu Yunyang was even more shocked than her: "Is this a mirror? So this is what I look like. It really is very handsome."

Jiang Jiu was speechless: "The front is glass, and the back is painted with mercury. The glass is made very delicately and the technology is very high-end. But why haven't I seen anyone using glass in Sucheng?"

After all, Lu Yunyang is a member of the royal family and is knowledgeable.

"More than twenty years ago, it was monopolized by the royal family. No one else could use glass except the royal family. I guess her glass factory is also in the capital."

"I don't need it because I think transporting the glass back and forth is too troublesome and a waste of money and effort."

The room on the right is the study. When you come to the study, you will see some calligraphy and paintings, as well as some ancient books. It can be seen that Jiang Yao has a wide range of interests and likes calligraphy and painting, but her handwriting and painting are not good.

No one is perfect. Jiang Yao is already very good. If she can do everything, it would be too enviable.

They walked all the way until it was already noon.

Jiang Jiu and Lu Yunyang took a tour of the room, and then the maids served lunch.

The food was placed on the balcony behind the screen. There was a large balcony inside the bedroom, enclosed by glass, with only a square table and two cushions on it.

The scenery behind the balcony is just so beautiful.

Jiang Jiu then discovered that there was a cliff next to the balcony. From here he could have a panoramic view of the mountain scenery. Even the clouds in the mountain stream were not far away and within reach.

“The scenery is so beautiful, let’s put it here.”

The exquisite four dishes and one soup are as exquisite as those presented by Michelin chefs.

Lu Yunyang was so excited by seeing this.

"What kind of dishes are these? How come I have never seen any of them?"

Jiang Jiu glanced at it calmly and said, "You can't see it, and neither can the royal family. It's all just a waste of money and labor."

As he spoke, Jiang Jiu introduced: "Coconut milk Tom Yum Goong is made with coconut flakes from the south. Try it and I wonder if you can get used to it."

"This is steak. I remember people in Daning don't eat beef."

"These are shrimp dumplings. The black color is truffles. Truffles are from Northeast China, and the shrimp are river shrimp, which are difficult to store."

"This is salmon, raw, with mustard, spicy."

Before Jiang Jiu finished his introduction, he suddenly heard a melodious flute sound.
