The workers responded quickly.

Then Lu Yaoyao took King Jin out of the dormitory area and returned to the village courtyard.

On the way, she asked King Jin again why he came here today.

The current King of Jin is no longer the idle king of the past. He not only takes up the post of left commander of the Imperial Army.

Emperor Hongwen also entrusted him with the affairs of all the black stone mines in the country and the newly built iron smelting workshops.

"Well, at least we have to wait until next spring before moving. It's already winter now, and there will be all kinds of inconveniences due to heavy snowfall and mountain and road closures, so there's no need to rush."

"Yes, then you need to go to the workshop first and have a look?"

The new iron-making workshop is near the capital.

Not far from King Jin's two black stone mines, there was an iron ore mining site owned by the imperial court.

There was originally a small workshop there, so Emperor Hongwen simply expanded the original small workshop and built a new iron-making workshop as Lu Yaoyao requested.

"No, I'm afraid of the cold. Anyway, I have to wait until next spring to get it done. Then I can go over and have a look."

"As long as you make things according to the drawings I gave you, basically there won't be any big problems. If there are any problems, they will be minor problems. I will just make adjustments when the time comes."

King Jin smiled and nodded again.

He also discovered that Lu Yaoyao was indeed afraid of the cold. Look, it snowed yesterday, and now Lu Yaoyao was fully armed.

Not only was he wearing an animal skin dress, he was also wearing a furry animal skin cloak and a scarf.

"Eh"

Because King Jin wanted to see the hot kang, and Lu Yaoyao basically stayed in the hot kang room when he didn't go out in winter.

So when I returned to the village, I took Prince Jin directly to the room with a heated kang.

This is an inner and outer room, inside is the bedroom where the fire pit is located, and outside is the small living room set up by Lu Yaoyao.

Although the fire kang is in the inner room, the small door in the middle is always open, so there will be heat in the small living room. Although the temperature is not as good as the inner room, it is definitely much warmer than other rooms.

Especially when you come in from the outside, you can clearly feel the temperature difference.

"It's warm, right? That's the benefit of the heated kang."

"And the kang is still burning inside."

She stretched out her hand and pointed inside.

Prince Jin subconsciously raised his foot to walk that way, but Qiu Shuang on the side saw this and quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, this is my lady's boudoir, you"

Now King Jin reacted immediately and said apologetically, "It's too abrupt."

Lu Yaoyao is also a boudoir girl. How can anyone enter her boudoir?

Especially as a foreigner?

"Come and sit down. We'll have dinner here later. I'll treat you to hot pot."

In the corner of the small living room, there is a tea table, which Lu Yaoyao specially asked a carpenter to make.

In the past, she would study tea art when she had nothing to do, but now it is even simpler. She directly activates the fusion of golden fingers, and instantly makes her unfamiliar tea art reach the point of proficiency.

However, her tea art is very different from Dongzhou's tea art.

After all, Dongzhou's tea is still the kind of strange-flavored tea soup that is brewed in a bowl and mixed with mutton fat and various exciting things.

And hers is a relatively pure tea.

"What is this?"

King Jin walked to the tea table curiously and sat down face to face with Lu Yaoyao.

"This is a tea table, specially used to make tea to entertain guests."

As she spoke, her hands began to move.

Washing hands, scalding cups and kettles, and washing tea are a series of actions that look elegant and peaceful.

For a moment, King Jin was a little crazy. He looked at Lu Yaoyao intently, and the admiration deep in his heart slowly emerged in his eyes.

However, Lu Yaoyao was concentrating on making tea at this time and did not notice the emotion in King Jin's eyes.

After a while, a clear cup with an elegant tea aroma was pushed to King Jin.

"Try my skills."

Her voice awakened King Jin from his obsession, and he quickly hid all the emotions in his eyes.

He lowered his head and looked at the tea in the bowl in front of him. He was startled for a moment, and then he spoke in surprise.

"Is this really tea?"

He had always used that weird-flavored tea soup, but this was the first time he had seen such clear, fragrant and fragrant tea.

"Of course it's tea. This is what I study in my free time. It's very different from ordinary tea. I like this kind better. Try it."

"good."

Prince Jin responded, picked up the tea bowl, and his nose twitched slightly at first.

"Very fragrant, very pure and refreshing aroma, much better than ordinary tea."

Let's talk. He took a small sip. The tea was slightly bitter in his mouth. He frowned slightly, but relaxed after a moment.

"Bitter at first and then sweet, the taste is fresh and of the highest quality. The owner of Wanfu County is truly a man of great beauty, to be able to develop such a unique tea."

"Prince Jin was joking, it's just that he doesn't like the messy smell."

"Drinking tea is drinking tea. What you drink should be the original taste of tea, not those messy and strange smells."

"It's well said. What you are drinking is the original taste of tea. Returning to nature. The state of the county master is beyond my reach."

Lu Yaoyao smiled, took a sip of the tea in front of him, then put it down and looked up at King Jin.

"Life is full of hardships. Some things look beautiful, but they are not really beautiful. If you are less persistent, you can be more relaxed."

As soon as these words came out, King Jin was stunned for a moment, then looked at her intently, and after a long time he said, "The county master seems to have something in his words?"

"You are thinking too much."

"Drink tea."

Lu Yaoyao picked up the tea cup again.

Prince Jin glanced at her, didn't ask any more questions, and picked up the teacup.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that King Jin didn't speak for a long time, Lu Yaoyao asked curiously.

"Today in the imperial study, His Majesty suddenly mentioned that he wanted to choose a concubine for me. I am having a headache."

"Choose a concubine? This is a good thing. I think you are quite old. Others your age have children."

When Lu Yaoyao said this, King Jin kept paying close attention to her expression and did not let go of her even the slightest bit.

But it made him a little disappointed. Lu Yaoyao was only surprised, not at all what he wanted to see.

"Then does your Majesty have a goal? Tell us."

Lu Yaoyao had a gossipy look on his face.

Seeing this, King Jin smiled and said, "I gave three candidates."

"Three? Yes, yes, those three? Do I know them?"

King Jin nodded first, then shook his head, and then nodded again.

Such behavior made Lu Yaoyao a little confused. What did he mean by nodding and shaking his head?

"The first one is Wen Xiang's granddaughter."

"Wen Miaomiao?"

Lu Yaoyao's eyes widened, and after being shocked, he nodded and said, "Miaomiao is a pretty good girl. She is talented, beautiful, and has a good family background. She is worthy of being the Princess of Jin."

"The king refused."

"Why?"
