A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 194 Going home for the New Year

Among the three little pets, only Fentian was dressed up as an accessory in Huang Mulin's hair and followed her to the palace, while the other two stayed in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"what happened?"

Huang Mulin asked.

"It's only been a short while, and I have so many thoughts running through my mind. Life is so tiring."

Huang Mulin probably knew that Li Jingchen was secretly guessing what they said, making judgments and conclusions.

"Maybe being an emperor is like that."

“There is no freedom at all.”

Huang Mulin sighed.

She had been bombarded by Mingding and Guichen before.

Fentian said nothing more.

In the next few days, Yu Zhenzhou took his wife, daughter, and three small pets to travel around the capital, attracting many people to stop and watch.

A few years have passed, and the capital has hardly changed. The scenery is still the same, and the people are almost the same.

Huang Mulin went to see the bakeries of the three major families.

All of them are in the inner city of Beijing.

Except for South Street where the imperial palace is located, the three major families occupied a point in the other three directions respectively, without interfering with each other.

The bakery's staff, bread, biscuits, etc. are not much different from those made at home. The pastry chefs basically bake them according to Dong Lin's instruction. The taste is very good and has attracted many customers.

The waiter's model was also recognized by the people in the capital, and coupled with the appropriate language and attitude, the purchasing servants of each mansion got an extraordinary experience and a sense of respect here, and they praised them highly when they returned to the mansion.

The main thing is that bread and biscuits are so delicious and are very popular when used to entertain guests.

In a few years, when she has enough buffaloes and the production capacity can keep up, she will also launch the cake category.

"Thanks to Mu Mu, these bakeries are doing very good business."

Yu Zhenzhou said proudly.

Yang Lijun smiled and agreed.

"Dad, I'll be shy if you praise me like this~"

"Hmm, just be proud~"

The father and daughter were playing and joking, and Yang Lijun followed them with a satisfied look on her face, walking farther and farther away.

Five days later, Yu Zhenzhou went to the palace to ask for a long vacation. The next day, Yu Zhenzhou left the capital with his wife and daughter.

On the night of his departure, Zhao Wenbo received a letter from Huang Mulin.

The letter said that her brothers were all well and would take the county exam next February, and she had confidence in them. She also said that the family estate was under construction, including a nursing home for the elderly, and that after it was completed in a few years, she would definitely invite him to experience it, and that he couldn't refuse, otherwise she would pull his beard the next time she came to the capital.

Zhao Wenbo looked at the mischief in Huang Mulin's words in the letter with a smile on his face, thinking that the four children of the Huang family were really hardworking and ambitious.

A few years ago, Zhao Zhifeng secretly wrote him a letter and told him about Huang Xilin. He was really scared and angry at the time. Fortunately, he was treated by a skilled doctor and is now fine. If he had any sequelae that ruined Huang Xilin's future, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.

After reading the letter carefully and rereading it, Zhao Wenbo burned it to avoid trouble caused by unknown suspicion in the future.

The return trip was a little rushed, as Huang Mulin and his brothers had agreed to go to Bofeng County to pick them up for the holidays. As the year draws to a close, there would be more things to do at home, so they had to go back early to help.

After picking up the four sons of the Huang family, the full car of people returned to Xiushan Village.

He Hui Niang happily welcomed the children and Yang Lijun and others.

It was time for dinner, and the family finished their meal happily. After sending the servants away, they asked An Ning and An Ran to wait outside the door. Huang Mulin then told Yu Zhenzhou and her four brothers about her discovery of the hot spring in the back mountain.

After hearing this, they all showed great joy on their faces.

“But has construction started?”

Yu Zhenzhou asked with great interest.

He hasn't taken a hot spring bath yet.

"Not yet." Yang Lijun said with a smile: "I just found out that I'm leaving for the capital, and I don't want to make it public for the time being, so I just asked someone to keep watch."

"Well, that's right."

Yu Zhenzhou felt a little regretful, and so did the fourth son of the Huang family when he heard that the area had not yet been developed.

"We can carve one for our own use first." Huang Mulin said, "The one Grandpa Yan found will only be used by our family in the future, so it doesn't matter if we make it early and enjoy it for a few years."

"Makes sense."

Yang Hui answered, he had been coveting the hot springs for a long time.

He is almost sixty years old and has never experienced a hot spring.

"Then go and chisel it open tomorrow."

Seeing that his family members were eager to try, Huang Mulin made a decision.

The next day, the family deliberately took a detour to head to the hot spring.

The stones that An Ning had moved away before were moved back, blocking the spring, and would be moved away together when it was time to actually excavate the spring.

They walked towards the spring discovered by Yan Tianyu.

This place is at a slightly higher position and is blocked by sharp rocks. If it weren't for Yan Tianyu's good eyesight, probably no one would have discovered it.

Old Wang called a few people over and asked them to use their internal energy to move the stones with their bare hands. If there were any stones that could not be moved, they would first use their internal energy to break them into pieces and then move them away.

After about an hour, a hot spring pool of about 30 square meters appeared in front of everyone.

Huang Mulin specifically asked them to carve a rectangle that was about three meters wide and ten meters long, and was separated in the middle by several relatively flat stones.

The hot spring pool is not yet in its final form. Huang Mulin observed that if the surrounding stones continue to be chiseled, a larger space will be revealed.

But now this size is enough.

"Uncle Wang, is there anyone who can build a simple wooden house?"

Huang Mulin asked Lao Wang.

"With Lao Tian's help, it should be possible."

"Okay, I'll go find Lao Tian." Huang Mulin pointed at the hot spring and said, "I want to build a simple wooden house here, separate for men and women, with a changing room in the front and a bathing room in the back. This part of the house will be used for hot spring bathing."

These ten hills have all been bought by Yang Hui. They have owners, and all the hunters in the village know this. So they will not come here to hunt, but will go to more distant mountains.

As for the craftsmen and farmhands working on other mountains, they don't have the spare time to stroll around, so under normal circumstances, no one else would come.

Moreover, with the support of Fentian and Wuxie's special abilities, those are not a problem.

"Build a few more living rooms next to it so that the guards can take turns to rest."

"Hot spring water is living water. There is no need to worry about it being dirty. They can use it daily."

"it is good."

Old Wang agreed.

The four sons of the Huang family looked at the steaming pool curiously. They put their hands in one by one, with surprise on their faces.

"Sister, the water is so hot, it feels so good!"

Huang Haolin said.

"The hot spring water here should be over 40 degrees."

Huang Mulin popularized hot spring knowledge to them: "High-temperature hot springs can stimulate the human body and have therapeutic effects on certain diseases. They can also improve physical fitness, enhance resistance, and prevent some diseases."

"Hot springs have so many uses?"

Huang Xilin learned new knowledge and his eyes were full of desire.

"Yes." Huang Mulin nodded. "Soaking in hot springs for a long time does have similar effects. However, you can't soak for more than a quarter of an hour at a time, and you have to drink plenty of water in time, otherwise you will suffocate due to lack of oxygen or water, and a good thing will turn into a bad thing."

They didn't understand some of the words Huang Mulin said, but they could understand the general meaning.

"When can we take a hot spring bath?"
