Chapter 102: Honeydew Melon

Qin Yunyi originally just casually found a reason, saying that His Majesty was coming, but he didn't expect Cui Jieyu to come out of the gate of Ronghua Palace, and His Majesty's canopy really came from Tianqing Palace.

Cui Jieyu's little palace maid stuck out her tongue, "I thought the concubine was deliberately making an excuse for not wanting to see Jieyu." ”

Cui Jieyu glanced back and urged people to leave quickly.

"Jieyu, why don't we go slowly, we can also greet Your Majesty at the palace gate and see you. The palace maid said. Didn't we come to Ronghua Palace just to see His Majesty more?

"We didn't come to Ronghua Palace to see Your Majesty. Cui Jieyu said.

Qin Yunyi was also surprised when he heard the rumor, and came to the gate of the hall to greet him, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

"There is a new batch of honeydew melons in the northern Xinjiang, and when I heard about it, I asked someone to bring it over for you to taste. Qi Zongwen said happily.

"Honeydew melon?" Qin Yunyi was even more strange. "Doesn't the melon have to go to the palace in July and August to escape the summer? It's only a few months now. ”

"It's a serious stubble. Qi Zongwen said, "It turns out that the authentic northern Xinjiang melons begin to ripen in May and do not fall until October. ”

"In the past, this melon was hard to find in the capital, isn't it just that it is scarce and expensive?"

Qin Yunyi saw that his eyebrows fluttered, and knew that he was not for the melon, but for the fact that the northern Xinjiang was now in order, and was happy that Miao Ning had already cut the melon and brought it up, so he pulled Qi Zongwen to sit down.

"I asked people to add ten more post stations to the northern Xinjiang line, and the road will be smoother. Qi Zongwen was still talking.

Qin Yunyi forked a piece of honeydew melon and fed it to Qi Zongwen, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

The entrance is crisp and sweet, Qi Fangwen sighed, "The taste of this melon is the same as the melon I ate in Sanyangguan, no, it is sweeter, this one is crispy." ”

Qin Yunyi looked at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is empathy." "It was also a trip to Sanyangguan last year that I learned that the honeydew melon I ate in the past was not that sweet at all, and at that time, it was only the long-distance transportation that changed the taste, how could I eat the same taste as the northern Xinjiang in the capital?

"I don't believe you've tasted it. Qi Zongwen fed Qin Yunyi a piece with his hands, "Isn't it sweet." ”

Qin Yunyi's eyes widened when he ate it, "It's really the same sweet." ”

"It can be seen that the people in the past were so bastards and fools. Qi Zongwen frowned after suddenly thinking about it and said, "We live in this deep palace, and we don't know what to eat for people underneath, and we don't know anything about the outside world." ”

"I still have to go out more in the future. ”

"Otherwise, he is the lord of the world, and he can't even eat the good guys. ”

"The people below have the difficulties of the people below. Qin Yunyi said, "But it's not bad to go out for a walk more." ”

"I will also follow Your Majesty to see more of this great river and mountain. ”

Qi Zongwen took her hand, "Where I go, the concubine will go with me." ”

Qin Yunyi pursed his lips and smiled, and fed Qi Zongwen another bite, "How many melons did you send this time?"

Qi Zongwen looked back at Han Xing, Han Xing hurriedly lowered his head and said, "It's about fifty." ”

"This melon was originally not in the list of Northern Xinjiang Jinfeng, the fur is the big head of Northern Xinjiang, this is not Your Majesty's benevolent government, the life in the north is much better, the people in the north don't know how to thank Your Majesty for being good, so these melons are carefully served into the palace to clear Your Majesty's sweet mouth. ”

"This melon is good. Qi Zongwen said, "Go back and ask people to ask, and set a number of the annual number of worshippers." ”

Qin Yunyi tasted it again, and then said with regret, "There are only about fifty of them, and I still want to be able to eat half a day." ”

"Do you like to eat?" Qi Zongwen looked back at her, "That's easy to do, these fifty or so will be sent to Ronghua Palace, and when you finish eating these, the next batch should be sent over." ”

Qin Yunyi smiled, "Then how can it be done, this is the result of Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, Your Majesty should reward all the ministers for fun, as well as the Queen Mother, the Queen, the princes and princesses, how can you also get some light from Your Majesty." ”

"There are still concubines from the north in the palace, and these hometown flavors should also be tasted by them, and they feel homesick. ”

"Naturally, it's important to you. Qi Zongwen said.

Qin Yunyi got up and sat down beside him, took his hand and shook it, "Your Majesty treats me so well." ”

"You just knew. Qi Zongwen said with a smile.

"I'll keep five. Qin Yunyi stretched out five fingers, "It's all put here for me, I eat slowly, it's a pity if it is broken, when I finish eating these, the next batch will also arrive." ”

"No matter how good things are, you can't get tired of them all at once. ”

"Oh well. Qi Zongwen said, "The melons after appreciating people are also yours." ”

The Queen Mother sent two, the prince and the princess each sent one, and the concubines in Northern Xinjiang, only one dream concubine and one concubine, and the rest did not.

The prince and his ministers also had henchmen, and they also sent twenty of them, and in the end, His Majesty left seven.

The next batch of honeydew melons will enter Beijing in a month.

The Shen family also got a honeydew melon.

The eldest grandmother of the Shen family led the inner family to put an incense case to receive a reward, and after sending the inner eunuch, the eldest grandmother said to Xiao Yaya, "Brother and sister, bring this melon back." Mrs. Shen went to Northern Xinjiang to accompany her husband after the year, the eldest son and the second son followed their father, and the younger son Xiwen stayed in Beijing as a petty official.

Xiao Yaya was puzzled, "This is a reward from His Majesty to the Shen family, how can I take it back alone?"

"Father and mother and Da Lang are not at home now, and most of the rewards in the palace are sent to northern Xinjiang, and such a honeydew melon is given every year, probably because I remember that you are from northern Xinjiang and want you to relieve your homesickness. Grandma said.

"This melon is not a rarity. Xiao Yaya said, "Just cut it here, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law are all following to taste, a honeydew melon is indeed not enough to eat, if the sisters-in-law like it, I will write a letter back, let my brother send me a car over, when the sister-in-law eats one and throws one, while eating and playing." ”

"Naughty. The sister-in-law said with a straight face, "This is a royal gift, not a hippie smile." ”

Xiao Yaya stuck out her tongue, "Then cut it and send it to the family school to eat for the nephews, and eat a good meaning for the imperial gift." ”

In the end, the grandmother divided it into three parts after the incense was poured in the family ancestral hall, and each room received a share back, and how to divide it was a matter of each room.

Shen Yingwen went home on duty, and as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he saw his little wife lying on the table and looked at the door, and his eyes lit up when he saw his figure, and he immediately got up and rushed over to greet him, "Xianggong is back." ”

"You run slowly. Shen Yingwen said as she stood firm and waited to catch her.

"Xianggong has worked duty today. Xiao Yaya said.

"Unfortunately, bitter. Shen Yingwen said, "The lady is also fortunate at home today." ”

"Unfortunately, bitter. Xiao Yaya said happily.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Yingwen smelled a clear fragrance, "What kind of fruit is this?"

"Xianggong's nose is really smart. Xiao Yaya said. "This melon was the most fragrant when it was first cut, and it was not so fragrant after a while, but I didn't expect it to be smelled by Xianggong. ”

"What melon?" Shen Yingying took off her official robe and changed into her regular clothes, and Xiao Yaya came over with the plate of honeydew melons, "Your Majesty rewarded me today." ”

"It's a rare thing to have a honeydew melon at this time. Shen Yingwen said.

"At this time, it has already been there, and by the end of June and the beginning of July, the melons will not be eaten when they are ripe, and they will rot in the ground. Xiao Yaya said.

"It's a rarity in the capital. Shen Yingwen forked and ate it, "Well, this is very sweet, it is really a gift, and it is not the same as the one on the market." ”

Xiao Yaya also forked one and ate it, she didn't like to eat this very much before, but not to mention, seeing this thing in the capital, it was still quite emotional, but she waited until Xianggong came back to eat together, "It's the same." ”

Xiao Yaya tilted her head and said, "The melons in northern Xinjiang are all so sweet." ”

"I didn't eat anything so sweet before, it smelled of water, and it was just cool in the middle of summer. Shen Yingwen said, forking another one, "It turns out that the real northern Xinjiang melon is so delicious." ”

"Xianggong thinks it's delicious, I sent a letter to ask my family to send a car, no, two cars. Xiao Yaya gestured to her fingers and said, "One cart will be given to the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, and the remaining cart will be given to Xianggong to eat slowly." ”

Shen Yingwen scratched her nose, "Do you know how much a honeydew melon sold in the capital in the past?"

"How much?" asked Xiao Yaya.

"Ten taels of silver each. Shen Yingwen said, he looked at Xiao Yaya's expression on her face and couldn't figure out whether ten taels of silver was more or less, and said, "Like the big girl next to you, the case of silver is only two taels of silver per month, which means that they can only buy a honeydew melon for five months of silver, and they may not be able to buy it, because the melon will be snatched up as soon as it arrives in the capital, and it depends on luck." ”

Xiao Yaya opened her mouth, "But honeydew melons are not expensive in northern Xinjiang, if I take honeydew melons to get moon silver, even if it is ten a month, Xiao Wu will not do it." ”

She turned her head to look at Xiao Wu, "Why don't I give Xiao Wu some moon silver, otherwise Xiao Wu won't even be able to eat honeydew melons, it's too pitiful." ”

"The slave maid follows the young lady, where do you need to buy honeydew melons to eat. Xiao Wu hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll let the family send five cars over. Xiao Yaya said, "In this way, anyone can eat it." ”

Shen Yingwen smiled, his original intention was to tell his wife that she thought she was just sending a cart of worthless melons, but in fact it was a cart of money, and no one could accept so much money calmly.

However, although the idea jumps, the person is still very kind.

He touched Xiao Yaya's face, Xiao Yaya immediately stopped chattering, looked at him with a blushing face, and Shen Yingwen kissed her. "Mother and mother-in-law will remember you and send it to you, but it will be later, and you don't need to send a letter back. ”

"Besides, now that Northern Xinjiang is becoming more and more stable and healthy, as long as it is safe along the way, businessmen are very diligent in coming and going, I will buy you honeydew melons, buy as much as you want, and ensure that you and your maidservants can eat as much as you want like in Northern Xinjiang, and you can eat as much as you want. ”

Xiao Yaya looked at him softly, ahhhh

The person who speaks in a few words has no strength, no sense, he can say anything, he just wants to act according to him.
