Chapter 393: Don't forget you are a mother-in-law
Since witnessing their divine martial arts, these people have been very motivated along the way.
Besides, Qiao Mai didn't let them suffer. The guards and servants each had a set of cotton clothes, and these cotton clothes were not ordinary.
After putting them on, the whole body was warm. No matter how cold the weather was, the body was not cold at all.
The temperature in the carriage was always around 20 degrees. The servants were sweating while sitting inside, and they had never suffered a bit in terms of food.
They were secretly burning incense for being able to follow this trip.
The Empress looked at Qiao Mai and smiled. "In-law, I see you are cultivating these little girls so carefully. Are you trying to do something?"
"No, just bored. Besides, I can't come forward for everything. In the future, I will be in long-term closed-door cultivation, and some things will have to be handed over to them to solve."
"Can they also practice?"
"No, but I can cultivate them into top experts."
Outside the carriage, it was icy and snowy, a vast expanse of white. Inside the carriage, it was warm, and the four people sat opposite each other drinking hot tea.
Mentioning the Qiao family in Lihua Village, Qiao Mai felt uncomfortable. If it were the previous her, she estimated that Qiao Lvshi would not want to die until she died. Just because she has status and ability now, she still misses her until she dies.
"Hmm, are there many people planting warm sheds in Tianshui Town now?"
"That's fine, then you go ahead, we will leave first."
"Wait until I abdicate. Spend this New Year in Tianshui Town first. After the New Year, we will return to the capital. After I arrange everything, I will bring you here to live."
"Come, drink some to warm your body. If you drink too much, you can lie down on the side and sleep."
"I heard about this from Liu Shi."
Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi arranged a courtyard for them, let Steward Xi arrange others, and she and Yuan Jiaqi returned to the main courtyard.
"Then now?"
The four people opened their identities, but they still got along well. Along the way, no one blushed or quarreled.
Steward Xi glanced at Qiao Mai. After so many years, the master is still so young, not old at all.
Sometimes, they wouldn't rest in small towns. When they saw villages, they would go over to stay for a night and ask the local common people about their lives.
"The Princess Consort is really a fairy, having everything. It's a great blessing to follow the Princess Consort out."
And those two old goods of the Yuan family, rubbing their son, all wanted to rub him to death. What face do they have to see Yuan Jiaqi?
"That's natural. Now it's cold, I won't toss. When it's warm, I will warm up the bathroom and everything. It will definitely be more comfortable than the capital."
As soon as he arrived at Jixiang Yuan, the Old Emperor fell in love with it.
"Hehe, thank you, Princess Consort."
Because the master returned, Jixiang Yuan became lively. The servants all moved, cleaning the house clean.
Doing good deeds without leaving a name, the journey of five or six days actually took ten days. They finally arrived at Tianshui Town on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.
"Really looking forward to it."
She still prefers the essence! Doing everything according to her own wishes, and will not force anything.
"This big kang, really comfortable."
"Master."
"Good."
"There are many. Many are consigned in our shop, and some people sell them to other places themselves. Now the lives of the common people are much better. Some people have made a fortune just by selling vegetables."
Just at this moment, Steward Xi walked in.
These twenty guards are now Qiao Mai's loyal fans. Not only them, but the servants brought along are also.
The Emperor and Empress naturally didn't see anyone, and the two huddled in the room and hummed comfortably.
She walked in, touching every vegetable, feeling very kind.
"That's right, there's no place to cry even if you regret it."
"Hmm, I know, you go ahead."
"Also, it's the two old people of the Yuan family in Xinghua Village who seem to be in poor health. They want to see their son-in-law."
Qiao Mai didn't deliberately pull the faith value. This thing is voluntary, and she doesn't need to deliberately pile it up. Things are in essence, not in quantity.
"Master, there is a matter, don't know whether to say or not."
The two lay on the kang. "It's still better at home."
"I don't need them to be proficient in everything. Martial arts and brains must be possessed. Others depend on how much they can learn."
"After all, they gave me life. If they want to see me before they die, they can still go. Others, forget it."
I thought no one would return this year, but I didn't expect Qiao Mai to return with her husband at this juncture.
Qiao Mai told him about this, and Yuan Jiaqi was silent.
Qiao Mai sent them away, checked the family's accounts, and checked the shop's accounts.
"Different. I plan to wait until the weather is warm to renovate the mansion. After all, I have to live here for retirement in the future and live more comfortably."
"No, no, you are good like this."
"Follow you, you can live in the mansion in the capital, and here too. Anyway, there are so many rooms."
Of course, the Old Emperor and Empress didn't dare to quarrel with Qiao Mai, and Yuan Jiaqi rarely spoke.
"Say it."
"Top?"
"Listen to their meaning, it seems that they are just in poor health. In Lihua Village, Qiao Lvshi seems to be dying."
"Understood, understood, you can rest assured."
The Old Emperor saw the wine and swallowed his saliva. "Still in-law is considerate. I really want this bite."
"Hmm, the family is left to me."
"Hmm, whoever comes to learn, teach."
Replenished the warehouse. As for the things used for the New Year, she only needed to spend a certain amount of silver on the platform, and everything was done.
They immediately went back to prepare New Year gifts, but were stopped by Qiao Mai.
"There is nothing missing at home. You don't have to be busy. I just came back, so I have to manage the family. When the New Year comes, let's do it well?"
"Not as good as your palace."
"Take good care of my daughter, don't forget you are a mother-in-law."
Will also manage unfair things, and will also help difficult families.
Their return made the small town lively. The next day, when dawn broke, relatives and friends came.
Qiao Mai distributed wine to the guards, and also distributed two sausages. Don't look at how cold it is outside, but the guards ate sausages and drank wine, not feeling uncomfortable at all, but feeling particularly happy.
"Yes, this house is full of wood fragrance, and the smell is comfortable, and it is particularly warm. I didn't expect you to live in such a house at that time. Really envious."
Looking at them sitting in the carriage without interest, Qiao Mai took out a can of luncheon meat, a can of chicken claws, and a bottle of Mao Tai from the space.
What do you want to eat? And they are all rare things.
"There are still more than a thousand miles away. Walking two hundred miles a day, it will take five or six days. In-law, is the Jixiang Yuan in Tianshui Town the same as the capital?"
"Lihua Village, Qiao Lvshi seems to be dying. Some time ago, they sent someone to inquire about you, and just now someone came to inquire again. Qiao Lvshi wants to see you."
Qiao Mai went to the backyard to see the few acres of warm sheds planted before, and they were still fine.
"Then the Emperor and I also want to live here."
"Right, top, they have no rivals."
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Yuan Jiaqi finished the accounts of Shexian, arranged everything, and only then was able to rest on the 29th.
The Old Emperor had been out, not only didn't lose weight, but also gained some weight. He said with a ruddy face.
"Hiss~ In-law is really powerful."
The Old Emperor opened the wine bottle, and the wine fragrance drifted out of the window immediately. The guards outside all swallowed their saliva at the same time.
"My husband will go to Shexian to check the accounts tomorrow."
"I will accompany my wife back for a trip?"
"It's not that, those petty people still want to play our ideas, dying to death."
Qiao Mai met everyone and talked with them for a long time.
The couple didn't take a carriage, one horse each, and came to Licha Village.
"I came last time, Qiao Laoshi was dying. This time I came, it was Qiao Lvshi. People are old, and when it's time to go, they will go."
The two got off their horses at the gate of the Qiao family. Because it was cold, no one could be seen in the village.
Yuan Jiaqi stepped forward and knocked on the door. The daughter-in-law of the Qiao family's first branch came to open the door. Seeing Qiao Mai, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
