At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

There were also eggplants, long beans, curved beans, broad beans, lettuce, spinach, various varieties of green vegetables, etc. So Yu Yunxin called her aunt and three cousins ​​to come over to harvest the vegetables together. Except for tomatoes and eggplants, the rest were planted by the person in charge of the vegetable shed, and they were very good.

Yu Yunxin instructed: "From now on, you don't have to worry about the flower shed over there, just take care of this vegetable shed."

"Okay, we will follow the princess's instructions." replied the servant in charge of the vegetable shed.

"Yu Yunxin and the others are very happy to see the full harvest of vegetables. Cousin Xin'er, what should we cook?" Li Wan asked, looking at the full basket of vegetables.

"Let's have hotpot." Yu Yunxin said.

After arriving at the courtyard in the small town, Yu Yunxin started to prepare the hot pot by herself, using thinly sliced ​​beef, mutton, tomato beef bone soup, and mutton clear soup. Yu Yunxin allowed everyone to mix the seasonings freely.

In another courtyard, Chunyu Qiushuang, Lulian, Yunshan Haiwang and the other four also had hot pot together. The two tables had the same hot pot base, and then they seasoned it according to their own tastes. The thin mutton was dipped in the clear soup, which felt a bit like mutton hot pot. It was very delicious with the seasoning, but there was no chili. If there was chili, the taste would be even better.

"Our cousin Xin'er is so amazing. What kind of hot pot is this? It's so delicious." Li Wan said.

Lin Qian also said: "Mutton has the effects of strengthening the spleen and warming the middle, nourishing the kidneys and strengthening yang, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, etc. It is a must-have in winter, but I don't like to eat it because it has a strong mutton smell. But why is it that when I slice it and rinse it in this soup, the mutton smell is gone? It is really delicious with garlic leaves and sauce."

"Yes! This is my first time eating hotpot too, and the beef is delicious." Leng Shuang, although her name sounds a bit cold, she is very passionate. She often picks food for her mother-in-law Cheng and takes care of Old Lady Lin.

Even Lu Lian was conquered by the delicacy. She had never expected to be able to eat such delicious food here.

The same was true for Qiu Shuang, Yun Shan and the other three. At this moment, all they cared about was the delicious food in front of them.

At the same time, the emperor, empress, concubine and queen mother in the palace also sat together around the round table, tasting Eunuch Zhang's mutton hotpot, dipping it in the condiments that suit their taste. Eating mutton hotpot in winter is the most enjoyable thing.

"Manager Zhang, is this also the recipe that Princess Xingguo gave you?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Eunuch Zhang.

"This Princess Xingguo is really interesting. I admire this girl very much." The Queen Mother said as she picked up a piece of mutton and placed it in her golden bowl of seasoning.

"If your mother likes it, you can let Princess Xingguo return to the capital to meet the Queen Mother." Emperor Cheng said.

"No need. I heard that the princess is very busy now." said the Queen Mother.

When everyone heard this, no one said anything, but they all had their own thoughts.

It seems that Yu Yunxin is going to open another hot pot restaurant in Kangzhuang Town.

Happy hotpot days are always short-lived. Just after eating hotpot last night, he was awakened by a person beside his bed early in the morning. The person was dressed in golden and purple brocade clothes and a red ghost mask.

"Ah! Why... are you in my room?" Yu Yunxin woke up with a fright. He looked at the wolf sleeping at his feet, which was now climbing onto the man in front of him.

"You little thing are really in cahoots with him." Yu Yunxin muttered.

The man said in a cold voice: "The princess wants to see me! I am in a hurry, so hurry to Qianyue Valley."

"Then you go out with it. This princess wants to change clothes." Yu Yunxin said angrily, wrapping herself in the quilt.

"What are you afraid of? I will never bully children." After saying that, he flew out with the wolf.

Seeing the person jump out of the window, she immediately got up, closed the curtains, and started to change her clothes. When she went out, Haiwang had already prepared the carriage. Yunshan, Yanluo, and Qionglou were already waiting for Yu Yunxin in the carriage. When they saw Yu Yunxin enter the carriage, they served her hot wontons.

"You guys have prepared breakfast too!" Yu Yunxin took the wontons and started eating.

"The princess must not have had breakfast early in the morning, so we made special preparations. After all, it takes more than two hours to get to Qianyue Valley." Yunshan said.

"Okay, you guys are so thoughtful." Yu Yunxin said after taking a bite of the wonton.

"Princess, where is your dog?" Yanluo asked.

"Don't mention it. She ran off with a man." Yu Yunxin got angry when she thought about that wolf.

But just after he finished speaking, he ran to Yu Yunxin's carriage, took out a whole orange with his front paws, blinked his round little eyes, and handed it to Yu Yunxin.

After Yu Yunxin took it, the wolf ran out of the carriage again and disappeared in a flash.

"This little thing knows how to repay a favor." Qiong Lou said, "It ran to the carriage in front, but I heard something strange about the carriage in front. It's a four-wheeled carriage surrounded by twelve horses. The carriage is moving very fast, but I heard a strange sound."

When Yu Yunxin heard this, she peeled the orange. This orange was the same as the modern jelly orange. Yu Yunxin wondered if there were jelly oranges in this era.

Yu Yunxin divided the orange into four parts and gave them to Yunshan, Yanluo and Qionglou respectively. She walked out of the carriage and sat next to Haiwang. She could not see the carriage in front of her. There was only a cloud of flying dust on the official road ahead.

Yu Yunxin fed the orange sacs one by one to Haiwang who was driving. Haiwang took a bite and said, "My lord, this orange is really sweet. You can eat it yourself!"

"No need, I have one." Yu Yunxin had just finished speaking when the wolf jumped down from the tree holding an orange and gave her a bright red apple. This was a flower cow fruit. Was there also a Tianshui flower cow fruit in ancient times? Just as she was staring at the bright red flower cow fruit, the wolf slipped away again.

"Is there this kind of apple tree here?" Yu Yunxin murmured as she looked at the snake apple in her hand.

Hai Wang glanced at the bright red apple in Yu Yunxin's hand and said with a smile, "Princess, you can eat this apple yourself! It's not surprising to see such red apples in all parts of Dacheng."

"That's right, maybe these fruits have existed in ancient times. She didn't eat the fruits that Yang Yunsheng sent her before like this, so she took them out to entertain my grandfather's family." Yu Yunxin thought to herself, and after smelling the fragrance of the flower cow fruit, she picked up a dagger and started to peel it.

"Princess, let me do it. I'm very good at peeling the fruit and can peel it continuously." Yanluo came over and said when she saw Yu Yunxin was about to peel the fruit.

Fortunately, she was not very good at using this kind of dagger, so she left the task of peeling the skin to Yanluo.

After Yanluo took it, she peeled the fruit very skillfully and said, "My fellow sisters and brothers in Yanyu Manor all like to eat pears and peaches, so I peeled all the fruits for them." After she finished peeling the fruit, she handed it to Yu Yunxin.

Yu Yunxin pushed and said, "Divide it into five parts."

Yanluo quickly cut the peeled apple into five equal portions, and each person ate one portion, which was particularly sweet. Good things are best eaten when they are shared.

Then Bei brought a bunch of juicy purple grapes. After delivering the grapes, Bei did not leave and lay directly in Yu Yunxin's arms. Yu Yunxin looked at the bunch of grapes and asked, "Where did you get the grapes from when it's winter now?"

"Princess, some wealthy businessmen in the southern area like to put out-of-season fruits in ice storage. Maybe they are storing grapes in the ice storage. We also have an ice storage in Yanyu Manor." Yanluo said.

"So that's how it is? But these grapes don't look like they've been in the ice storage, they look like they were just picked." Yu Yunxin looked at the green stems on the top of the grapes and said, "Forget about them, let's eat them!"

In ancient times, fruits were very scarce, and generally only the gentry and officials could eat them. Even Yu Yunxin only ate them twice when she came to Wangshan, and both times were sent by Yang Yunsheng. Because there were too few fruits to buy in Nanling County, there were only one or two fruit shops on a street, and the varieties were very limited. Even bananas that can be found everywhere nowadays cost one hundred coins each, not to mention Wangshan County.

It was already very good that this wolf could get her three kinds of fruits at once. Yu Yunxin ate the seedless grapes leisurely and touched the wolf's gray hair very comfortably.

"Maybe it found it somewhere. Look how tired it is." Yunshan said as he looked at the wolf sleeping soundly in Yu Yunxin's arms.

"Maybe! But it's quite warm in my hands." Yu Yunxin said as she looked at the wolf sleeping soundly in her arms like a child.

Along the way, the four of them talked about the things in Yanyu Manor. Yanyu Manor is divided into the outer three gates and the inner three gates. The outer three gates are martial arts, calligraphy and painting, needlework, and music. The inner gate is about metaphysics, divination, stargazing, and array formation. There are also stories of sisters and brothers. They are all poor peasant girls who are homeless or sold as concubines. It was Zhuang Diewu who gave them a home. They can practice martial arts freely in Yanyu Manor. No matter whether they learn the inner three gates or the outer three gates, they must worship the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. Only by passing the task of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman statue can they enter the master's door. If they want to go out of the master's door and go down the mountain to experience or want to find a marriage for themselves outside, they must also pass the test of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and the masters. However, many sisters and brothers will not leave the sect easily. Even if they leave, they are inextricably linked to the sect. The most critical test of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman is decided by drawing lots. It is difficult for non-elite disciples to dare not accept the test of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. Yanyu Manor also has its own rules, which are similar to those of Taoism.

For example, there was a senior sister who passed the test of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and went down the mountain to meet a ruthless scholar. Despite the opposition of her master, she used the silver given by her senior sisters to help the scholar take the exam. After that, he passed the exam and divorced his wife to marry a rich girl. In order to help her, the senior sisters of the sect secretly went down the mountain to seek revenge on the scumbag, destroyed the scholar's career by some means, and took back the silver they had worked hard for. After returning to the sect, he confessed in front of the statue of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and devoted himself to cultivation, living a happy single life with his senior sisters. There were also senior sisters who went down the mountain to find their ideal husbands. If some of the husband's families were willing, they would give Yanyu Manor a lot of money as a betrothal gift. After getting married, if they had a daughter, they could also send her to Yanyu Manor to be raised or taught martial arts by the senior sisters, and various female workers.

Yunshan was abandoned in Yanyu Manor by her family elders because she was a woman.

Yu Yunxin listened carefully to what the three people said and learned that Yunshan and Yanluo were the three outer disciples of Yanyu Manor, one was an expert in sword and the other was an expert in dagger, while Qionglou and Haiwang were the three inner disciples. Qionglou was not only an excellent hearer, but also an expert in divination. Haiwang was not only good at driving a boat, but also good at swimming and, most importantly, he could set up formations. Before they knew it, the carriage had arrived outside Qianyue Valley.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, she saw a team of eighteen cavalrymen wearing uniform red armor. In the middle was a somewhat peculiar carriage, which looked a bit like a mobile wooden house. Sitting on the roof was a young man dressed in golden purple. He was sitting on the roof eating grapes and looking down at Yu Yunxin who got off the carriage. There were such luxurious RVs in ancient times, with four wheels, no, it was two wheels side by side, and there was another wheel inside. This wheel was a wooden wheel, the size of a modern truck. The wheels were covered with dust and could not be seen clearly. Yu Yunxin wondered how wooden wheels could bear the weight of this wooden house. The key point was that this car was four times larger than her carriage, so how could it be faster than her carriage? The roads here were all mountain roads, and Hai Wang was driving much faster than other coachmen, so why was his carriage faster?

"Princess, your carriage is too slow. I have been waiting for you for a long time." The young man in golden and purple brocade clothes said as he jumped off the roof.

"Are you bringing the cavalry into Qianyue Valley?" Yu Yunxin put her Jiaoweiqin on her back, quickly jumped to the front of the RV and asked.

"Princess, we came to Qianyue Valley to look for people and rescue them, or to be more precise, to fight. Why did you bring the zither here to enjoy the scenery?" The young man in golden and purple brocade clothes asked Yu Yunxin as she looked at her zither on her back.

"Is it not okay for me to fight with my piano?" Yu Yunxin said, weighing the piano on her back.

The young man in golden and purple brocade clothes took the Jiaoweiqin from Yu Yunxin's back and said, "I'll carry it for you." After saying that, he waved his sleeves and four cavalrymen led the way.

The young man in golden and purple brocade asked, "Can the princess ride a horse?"

"Of course I will." Yu Yunxin said as she turned over and got on a horse. After waking up, the wolf also jumped out of the carriage. It quickly jumped onto Yu Yunxin's chest and rubbed her body.

"You damn wolf, you have forgotten who your master is." The young man in golden and purple brocade clothes muttered, then jumped on the horse's back and rode side by side with Yu Yunxin.

Yunshan and the other three also rode four horses that were untied from the carriage and followed closely behind Yu Yunxin.

"Hey! Lord of Shura Gate, are you so afraid of death that you brought eighteen people into the valley?" Yu Yunxin asked the people in front and behind her.

"Who doesn't fear death? We are all capable people. Why do you only bring four people, all of them women?" the Lord of the Underworld asked back.

"Don't underestimate the people behind me. They are masters of Yanyu Manor." Yu Yunxin said.

"Hmph! My Shura Sect has five guardian Shuras, thirteen ghost kings, and eighteen red flame cavalrymen." The Lord of the Underworld, dressed in golden and purple brocade clothes, said with the momentum of a king.

"Are these your eighteen Red Flame Cavalrymen? Do they have fire on them?" Yu Yunxin asked curiously.

"I won't tell you anymore. You will know how powerful they are soon. I will raze this Qianyue Valley to the ground today." The Lord of the Underworld said in a cold voice and whistled. The wolf in front of Yu Yunxin jumped down and ran away to an unknown place.

"Can everyone stop for a moment?" said the Lord of the Underworld.

Yu Yunxin asked, "What are you stopping for?"

"Looking for someone! This place is so big and you don't know where Shangguan Jing and the martial artists are imprisoned. Only a wolf can find the correct location." The Lord of the Underworld pulled the reins and replied.

After hearing this, Yu Yunxin also pulled the reins to signal Yunshan and the other three behind her to stop and wait for the wolf.

But when she stopped there, the Hades threw an orange to her. Yu Yunxin peeled it and ate it like a jelly orange. Yu Yunxin asked, "Where did you get this orange?"

"I bought it!" the Lord of the Underworld said lightly.

"Where did you buy it? Can you give me some saplings so I can plant them too?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Cough! Cough cough!" The Lord of Hell was eating juicy jelly orange under his mask. He coughed when Yu Yunxin asked him, "Okay, I'll give it to you when we get back."
