The cores of the washed pears were dug out, and some white fungus and wolfberry were stuffed in the middle. Slowly steam was floating upwards, and the carriage was instantly filled with the sweet smell of pears.

Mrs. Lou asked the maid to scoop out a bowl and tasted it with a porcelain white spoon.

It's very sweet, sweeter than the sugar water she drank when she was a girl at home.

Wan Hongmei watched Lou leave and sighed. Her first patient was gone, and she didn't know how far she had followed her instructions.

After returning home, Wan Hongmei asked her daughter to choose the pattern she liked.

"Embroidering a wedding dress so early?" Yuntao asked doubtfully.

"It's getting late. It will take a long time to embroider. In addition to embroidering your wedding dress, I also have to embroider other clothes."

Yuntao nodded and made a few random patterns.

She heard that many women embroidered their own wedding dresses. Since she didn't have the ability, it would be better to leave it to an outside embroiderer.

In addition to choosing a wedding dress, she also had to choose patterns on furniture and porcelain. Yuntao felt a little overwhelmed after listening to her mother's talk.

He could only say: "Mom, you know me. I don't like such complicated things. Just make it as simple as possible!"

After saying this, Yuntao quickly escaped from the space.

It's better to leave such a complicated matter to her parents. This matter is more difficult than Nantong's development. She should worry about Nantong's autumn harvest.

The harvest in Nantong is good this year!

All kinds of crops, including sweet potatoes and rice, have had a bumper harvest. Because the harvest is large enough, we don’t even have to worry about food next year.

Yuntao asked her men to count this year's harvest, feeling at ease.

After finishing the spring plowing next year, she will go to the capital.

Before that, everything needs to be settled, including the gifts sent to the capital this year and the New Year items prepared for parents.

Yuntao was very busy, and the capital was also very lively.

The second prince of the Hu people has arrived and came to the capital to sign an agreement on compensation for the defeat.

The adults in Beijing were sad a few years ago, but they are so happy this year! Even happier than during the Chinese New Year!

Even if some adults were so happy that they went to drink some wine and were seen by the censor when they turned around, even if they wrote a confession to accuse them, as long as they said that they were happy because the barbarians surrendered, they would not be held accountable.

The entire capital was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.

It was in such a jubilant atmosphere that Yu Huayi came to the capital.

Yu Huayi sat in the carriage, listening to the lively discussions of the people outside the carriage, and leisurely opened the curtain to take a look.

Compared with the last time he left, the capital of Dajin has changed a lot. The most obvious thing is that the road surface has changed from the spacious gray loess road to a flat cement road.

People are still coming and going on the street, and shops are lined up row upon row. Among the people passing by, there are many White Dragon Envoys mixed in, which is a bit annoying at first glance.

He could tell the difference between the ordinary people and the White Dragon Envoys in the crowd just by looking at them.

He was really envious of the wealth of Da Jin!

After staying in Dajin for so many years, I don’t feel anything like it anymore, but after returning to the northwest and coming to the capital, the contrast is obvious.

Everyone in the world longs for beautiful things, and he is no exception.

Yu Huayi lowered the car curtains and carefully hid the greed in her eyes.

Compared with Yu Huayi's leisurely attitude, the entire Hu people's team was much bleak. No one was happy when they mentioned the defeat, especially after the defeat, they had to ask for compensation terms.

The terms are secondary, the content has been drawn up long ago.

The Hu people need to pay 100,000 good horses and 50,000 cattle and sheep each like Da Jin, spread over several years. Because they are afraid that the cattle and sheep on the grassland will not keep up with the breeding, in addition to the down payment, they need to pay 10,000 horses each, and the rest every other year.

Only 5,000 good horses are needed, and 2,000 oxen and horses each year.

However, the additional conditions are that the Jin Dynasty will build cement roads for the Hu people's palaces, provide craftsmen to build houses for the Hu people, teach them how to farm, provide seeds and salt, and provide salt tea and other scarce things.

Yun Huachun is solely responsible for these matters.

After Yu Huayi entered the capital, the carriage drove straight to the entrance of the palace. She was searched several times by the guards and eunuchs at the entrance of the palace, and then she was led to the main hall.

After performing three kowtows and nine bows, Yu Huayi was allowed to take a step forward.

"Second Prince, please make peace." Changsun Han's voice sounded.

Yu Huayi's bodyguards were all outside the palace, and only a few entourages entered the palace, all of them nobles and ministers from the Hu court.

He stood behind Yu Huayi with his head bowed, trembling like a quail.

On the contrary, Yu Huayi is neither humble nor arrogant, and her face from Jin attracts attention.

Yu Huayi took the document from the Hu people and read it out from the text. The specific content was that he wanted to make good friends with the two countries, which made the ministers in the court hum. How could there be such a thing in the surrender document after defeat?

Then Da Jin read the document again and read out the compensation content.

The barbarians must give cattle and sheep, but the craftsmen are not given free of charge. The craftsmen who are lent to work have to be paid.

"Does the Second Prince have any objections?" Yun Huachun finished reading the document in his hand and looked at Yu Huayi.

"If there are no objections, it's time to stamp it and sign it."

Yu Huayi signed silently and stamped his father's seal. The grassland government did not rely on seals. This seal was made in accordance with the requirements of the Jin Dynasty.

After the agreement was signed, the faces of the civil and military officials who came to the court were all warm, and the emperor sitting on the dragon throne could not help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, in addition to signing a treaty with Jin Dynasty, Ma Lei also has another chore to trouble your Majesty..." Yu Huayi leaned over and saluted. Ma Lei was his nickname among the Hu people.

"To show the grassland's sincerity to the Jin Dynasty, I have been specially ordered to come over and get married." Yu Huayi's clear voice sounded.

The smiles on the faces of the civil and military officials on the left and right immediately stopped, and were replaced by expressions of deep hatred and bitterness.

Whose family has been so unlucky for eight lifetimes that they want to marry their daughter to a barbarian prince!

If it were other small countries, it would be easier to say, but it was the Hu people who had attacked the Jin Dynasty. Both the government and the public had a bad look when they mentioned the Hu people to the people on the street, and they wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Even if she marries her daughter to a beggar on the street, she is not willing to marry a barbarian.

"Marriage should be a major event in life. If the prince meets someone he likes in Dajin, he can come to me and ask for an imperial decree to get married. It is also a beautiful thing." Changsun Han said neither salty nor lightly.

Giving a princess is easy, you can just stuff it into the harem anywhere, but giving a prince is really troublesome.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Huayi saluted.

In addition to the happy events in the court today, there are also happy events in the Yun family.

The matchmaker sent by Li Qianchen to marry her also came to visit today.

It's not that today was chosen specifically, but Li Qianchen's letter was sent all the way to the capital and only arrived the day before yesterday.

I consulted the Yun family in advance, collected the necessary betrothal gifts within one day, and finally arrived today.
Chapter completed!
