Return to the Villa

"What are you talking about?"

Ms. Zhao was a little confused.

"Just some small things. Auntie, I think it's getting late, so we have to leave first."

She had no intention of telling the Zhao family about this, so as not to worry them, but she still had a plan in mind. When she returned to the villa, she would arrange for two or twenty black cloud hunters to come over and protect the Lu family around the clock.

Then the group left the Lu family in a grand manner.

After getting out of the Lu family's carriage, Cheng Lixue suddenly remembered a piece of news she had heard.

It was the incident when the King of Jin dealt with Han Jingcong, the person in charge of the Han family's capital, at the door of Prime Minister Dong's Mansion, and what Han Jingcong said before leaving.

"Yao Yao, it's clear that Han Jingcong doesn't want to be kind anymore, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? If he comes, we'll do it. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the consequences."

Lu Yaoyao still didn't care at all.

The biggest reliance of the Han family is salt. Will it not be a matter of minutes to deal with them?

"But."

"Cousin, don't worry. When will I be unreliable?"

"Don't talk about these unhappy things, I have already thought about what I want to treat you to eat later."

Seeing her like this, Lu Mingxi couldn't continue to say these disappointing words, so she had to suppress her worries.

The group of people chatted and laughed as they discussed the delicacies Lu Yaoyao was going to prepare.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive in front of Chengyuan Villa.

"Sister County Lord, is this your villa? It's not snowing outside, County Lord. It's our first time here, why don't we walk in? We can also take a look at the scenery of your villa."

"That's good. I'm very curious about those novelties that the county leader mentioned."

Dong Shaner was also quite interested.

Wen Miaomiao and Lu Mingxi both nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao had no choice but to stop the carriage and the group got off the carriage.

As soon as it hit the ground, Cheng Lixue screamed in surprise.

"What is this?"

Looking around, he saw Cheng Lixue pointing to the cement road under his feet with a surprised look on his face.

"Huh? Why is this road so smooth and smooth?"

"What you two don't know is that it is built with cement invented by Yao Yao."

Lu Mingxi smiled and explained to the two of them.

"cement?"

Both of them were startled.

"This is a good thing. Not only can it be used to build roads, but it can also be used to build houses. With this thing, the houses can become stronger."

Lu Yaoyao said with a smile, and then led everyone along the cement road and walked inside.

Along the way, we will pass through farmland. There are several tall waterwheels standing on the edge of the farmland, still turning on their own. However, it is winter and there is no need for irrigation. The water brought up by the waterwheels has been reintroduced.

In the river.

The girls who saw this thing for the first time were shocked.

"You can actually move on your own? How on earth did you do that, County Lord?"

Seeing that Dong Shan'er was quite interested, Lu Yaoyao had no choice but to take them to the nearest waterwheel, pointing to the horizontal water-lifting boards and saying, "When the river flows through, it will move these boards, and then the boards will bring the water in."

The ditch below.”

After watching it for a moment, a few people immediately understood the principle.

"Awesome, Sister County Chief, your brain is really amazing. You can think of such ingenious things."

Dong Shaner beside her also nodded repeatedly.

The principle of the waterwheel is actually very simple, but in the past countless years, no one thought of doing it.

The group of people walked along the cement road and looked around. There were really many novel things in this villa.

Soon they arrived at the village courtyard, and Lu Yaoyao took them directly to his heated kang room.

You can feel the heat as soon as you enter, and the original chill is dissipated a lot.

"Huh?"

Wen Miaomiao suddenly made a sound of surprise, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Sister County Lord, don't you have a charcoal fire in your room?"

"No."

"Then why is it so warm?"

Then, Lu Yaoyao could only introduce the fire kang again, and took them to the boudoir to see the fire kang.

"This thing is great. Can Sister County Master get one for me? It's cold now, and I often can't sleep well at night."

"No problem, I've arranged rooms for you. Every room has a heated kang. When you go back, if you need anything, just ask someone to come over and tell me, and I'll arrange to build it for you."

Cheng Lixue immediately clapped her hands and made friends.

Dong Shaner also thanked her profusely.

The fire bed is a good thing, especially in this cold winter.

Then Lu Yaoyao took them to the outhouse and invited them to sit down in front of the tea table.

"Qiu Yu, go and get the kitchen ready. Let's have hot pot tonight."

"Then I'll bring over some refreshments, just those matcha-flavored snacks I made earlier."

Qiu Yu quickly nodded and retreated.

“What are matcha-flavored snacks?”

"You will know later after you eat it."

After that, she started making tea. Because the tools here were complete, she immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as she started making tea.

As the water vapor swirled around, everyone felt calm for no reason.

Just stare at Lu Yaoyao's fluent tea-making technique.

After a while, Lu Yaoyao's voice woke them up.

"The way the county master makes tea is so unique, it makes people fascinated without even realizing it."

“And it also calms the mind.”

"Yes, yes."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and said, "It's embarrassing to tinker with something to pass the time."

"Come and try my handiwork."

She pushed the tea in front of the girls one by one.

Because they had already drank it once, they were already used to the bitterness of the tea.

“Very fragrant and delicious.”

"Can you teach me how to make tea like this, County Lord?"

Dong Shan'er liked Lu Yaoyao's tea art just now, and she also liked this new style of tea.

"sure."

"I want to learn too."

Cheng Lixue quickly raised her hand.

"And me."

"I will also learn."

Wen Miaomiao and Lu Mingxi also spoke.

One person is teaching, and a group of people are teaching. Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded repeatedly.

It's rare for her place to be so lively.

Just when they were chatting lively, Qiu Shuang also came back.

Because there were two little cousins ​​from the Lu family who came with them this time, and they were all women. Naturally, it was not easy for them to come with them, so after entering the manor, Lu Yaoyao asked Qiu Shuang to take them.

Go to the room first.

Both of her little cousins ​​are studying. Even if they come here, they can't play all the time.

When she left the Lu family again, Zhao and Yuan made repeated orders to her not to let them go.

Of course, Lu Yaoyao didn't dare not listen to this. She also knew that if the Lu family wanted to truly rise, it would not be possible to rely on business alone. It would not be possible to rely on her. They would also have to rely on their two younger cousins.

If they can gain fame and even become officials in the court, the Lu family's family status will be completely changed and they will be separated from the lower-class merchant family.

"Miss, the two young masters have already made arrangements."

"Well, let someone send them some food."

"My slave has already given the order."
