1281 Boasting
In May, the wheat began to turn yellow, and from a distance it looked like gold on the ground.
Yuxi went to the field and picked a piece of wheat. At this time, the wheat is still pale yellow, and it does not turn golden until June.
Looking at the wheat in his hand, Yuxi said with a smile: "This year's wheat is growing well. ”
Shen Chunting, the head of the household department who came along, also smiled: "Yes! The crops in Jiangnan and Henan are also growing well. "Not surprisingly, this year has been another good year.
The two walked in the field for a while, and Yuxi also talked to an old farmer in Zhuangzi for a long time.
After reading the wheat, Yuxi went to see the artichoke again. It's a pity that the artichoke I saw didn't grow very well, and it was sparse.
Yuxi frowned and said, "What is the reason? Therefore, this matter must be treated with caution.
Food is fundamental, and when there is no food, there will be turmoil. Therefore, the superiors attach great importance to agriculture.
Han Donggong stepped forward and said, "The reason is being investigated." Knowing that Yuxi was coming, he wanted to bulldoze the land. However, after asking Han Ji, he dispelled this idea. If the princess knows that he is cheating, I am afraid that he will also be the head of the village.
It's a good day now, and he doesn't want to change it at all. After being reprimanded by Han Ji, the land did not move again.
Yuxi frowned and said to Shen Chunting, "We must find out the reason." ”
"Yes. "Shen Chunting is the head of the household, this is his business.
Lunch is served on the Zhuangzi. After finishing the meal, Yuxi said with a smile: "Go out and eat." ”
Because of the sun, Yuxi didn't go far, and only walked around the house. Looking at the wheat field in the distance, Yuxi smiled with Meilan and said: "The sunrise and the sunset are simple. After being reborn, she wanted to live a simple life in the future. Unfortunately, it backfired, and now she is as busy as a spinning top every day. Fortunately, she is willing to eat.
"Princess, once a natural or man-made disaster occurs, these people have to sell their sons and daughters in order to survive. After a pause, Meilan said: "Isn't there a saying that is good, prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer." "Ordinary people are not so easy to be.
Yuxi smiled and said, "It seems that the books of these years have not been read in vain. "This kid is so sincere.
Meilan said modestly: "Just remember this sentence." Influenced by Yuxi, Meilan has also been reading books all these years. Meilan didn't want to do academics, she just wanted to read more books so that she could have something to talk to Yuxi. But she saw how much she forgot and remembered very little, and Meilan was very depressed about this.
The days of May are also changeable. It was just clear, but now the sun was hiding in the dark clouds.
Without Meilan's urging, Yuxi said, "Go back! I'm afraid it's going to rain." ”
Meilan said with some worry: "Princess, what should I do if it rains for a long time?"
Looking at the sky that was getting darker and darker, Yuxi smiled: "If it rains non-stop, we will go back tomorrow." ”
"The slave maid hoped that the rain would fall until dark, so that the princess could rest well. "Yuxi is very busy every day, and he has to be busy until midnight before sleeping. Mama talks about this every day, but the princess is very happy.
"Then I won't be going back tonight. "Whether it's raining or not, she's not going back. I'm tired during this time, so it's time to take a good rest. Anyway, there is Yunqing in the city, and it doesn't matter if she stays in Zhuangzi for a day and goes back.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you to go now. Meilan was so happy that she couldn't do it.
The house was incense and mosquito nets, but there were no mosquitoes. However, Yuxi is used to sleeping around the clock, and he can't sleep in bed early.
Yuxi got up, put a pillow on her back, and asked Meilan: "Alain, aren't you really ready to get married?" "Meilan, as her personal maid, is not worried about getting married even if she is in her early twenties. But if it's three or five years later, it's not certain.
Meilan still said the same thing: "Princess, I don't want to get married." After a pause, Meilan said, "Princess, I think life is pretty good now." Those sisters who are married may not be as comfortable as me. ”
"Do you think licorice is having a comfortable life?" Yuxi knew that Meilan was afraid of getting married, and she would not be in the palace by then.
After Licorice married Zhuzi, Zhuzi bought a maid to serve her, and she was not allowed to go back to the palace to do things. So far, a son and a daughter have been born, and the husband and wife are also affectionate and loving, and they don't know how much and beautiful life they have.
Meilan shook her head and said, "Sister Licorice is a special case!"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Except for licorice, you see that Zi Su and Zi Jin are doing well." "The maids who went out next to her are doing well when they get married. First, these maids can do it, and second, their husbands are carefully selected by Yuxi.
Meilan was unmoved: "Good now doesn't mean good in the future." "Now they are still looking, and when they are old and decrepit, some of these men can hold on.
Yuxi said with a smile: "What are these words? I have been married to the prince for almost eighteen years, and now I am doing well." ”
What happened to Liu Yi that day made Meilan still have palpitations to this day. At that time, the princess couldn't eat or sleep, and she was so sad that she couldn't do it. It's also that the princess has strong endurance and doesn't make trouble, otherwise, I don't know what will happen. Even a person with such a strong concentration as the prince was almost fascinated by the fox spirit, let alone an ordinary man. Therefore, Yuxi's words Meilan strengthened her determination not to marry.
Meilan said with a bitter face: "Princess, do you dislike me, so you want to send me out?"
After saying so much bitterly, seeing that Meilan was still unmoved, Yuxi's expression was a little complicated: "You really decided not to marry?
Meilan nodded and said, "Princess, I won't regret it." "When you get married, you have to worry about your husband's infidelity and your children. When children grow up, they have to worry about their marriages and so on. It's a heart that can't be all my life, and I'm tired when I think about it. If you don't marry and follow the princess, you just need to serve the princess well.
After a pause, Meilan added: "Princess, I actually envy Mama Quan." Her life is comfortable and comfortable. Although Mama Quan has no children, few people can compare to her life this day.
Yuxi saw that Meilan had really made up her mind not to marry: "Since you have decided, I will not say anything in the future." But if you change your mind, let me know. "No one can say for sure what the future holds.
Meilan hummed and said, "Yes." ”
After chatting for a long time, Yuxi was also a little tired. After lying down for a while, he fell asleep.
Seeing this, Meilan walked lightly to the table and extinguished the tung oil lamp. Yuxi lights candles when he reads, and uses tung oil lamps at other times.
On the second day, the sky was bright and Yuxi got up. Stretching and taking a deep breath, Yuxi said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed." These days, she is busy with war, and she has no time to breathe.
Meilan said: "Princess, if you like it, you will come more with the prince in the future." "It's better not to bring the three little masters, it's too noisy.
Yuxi said with a smile: "When it is hot, our family comes here to escape the heat." "This mountain farm is planted with a lot of trees, it is very cool, and it is a great place to escape the heat.
Meilan said in her heart Sure enough, when she got married and had children, she thought about her husband and children, even a strong person like the princess.
Back at the palace, Yuxi went directly to the study in the front yard and did not go back to the backyard.
When he entered the house, he saw Yunqing talking to Yuan Ying. Seeing Yuxi, Yun Qing waved his hand and said, "This is like this in advance, you go down!" After such a long time, Yun Qing also has the bearing that a superior person should have.
Yuan Ying nodded, saluted Yuxi and went down.
Yun Qing took a letter from under the table and handed it to Yu Xi and said, "This is a letter sent back by Ah Hao, can you take a look?"
Yuxi's face was a little unpleasant: "What did Ah Hao do?" must have done something bad, so Yun Qing didn't tell her directly, let her read the letter herself.
Yunqing said: "See for yourself." ”
After reading the letter, Yuxi's face flashed with anger: "This kid is too bold. He actually asked Yu Zhi and Yi Kun to take a stand-in to the mountain, and he stayed with Hua Ge'er. Wouldn't it be dangerous if this ploy was discovered?
"How many times have I told him that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he takes my words as a deaf ear?"
Yun Qing knew that Yuxi would lose his temper, but in fact, he was also scared into a cold sweat after reading this letter just now. But after calming down, I was very proud. The son is brave and resourceful, and has his style: "When Ah Hao comes back, you will punish him severely, you are too bold and reckless." "If he doesn't stand on the same line as Yuxi, he will also suffer.
Hearing this, Yuxi said angrily: "Why did I punish him?
"Let me beat him? This kid isn't afraid of beating?" But except for Brother Xuan, the other three are all hard bones and are not afraid of fighting. Besides, it's not good to beat and scold the child when he's so old.
Yunqing's little caution was not enough to hide from Yuxi, Yuxi snorted coldly and said, "You will be a good person, and the wicked will let me do it all." "Sons are taught by their fathers, and daughters are taught by their mothers. She has six children, all of whom she is in charge of.
Yun Qing said with a smile on his face: "No matter how hard you are punished, you are the closest of the six children." ”
As the husband and wife were talking, they heard Si Bonian say outside: "Lord, princess, Lord Jiang asks to see." "Jiang Hongfu only arrived in Hocheng in early February, and he took over for just over two months. Fu Minglang did a good job during his tenure, and Jiang Hongfu did not dare to slack off during this time. I'm afraid that something will make it difficult for Yunqing. He knew that it was Yunqing's intention to get this shortage.
Jiang Hongfu had been in charge of water conservancy in the northwest before and was very familiar with this area, so he wanted to start in this area at first. However, Yuxi bluntly said that the treasury had no money, so he gave up.
reported on the work of the past few days, and saw that Yuxi had no objections, so he breathed a sigh of relief. is also because he feels guilty in his heart, so he lacks confidence when facing Yuxi.
Yunqing didn't understand Jiang Hongfu's complicated and tangled mood, and said with a smile: "I remember that Brother Jun is also eighteen years old, have you married?"
Jiang Hongfu hesitated and said: "Three years ago, I set a marriage, and it was my wife's niece, but the child died of illness two years ago. Brother Jun reluctantly said that he would keep filial piety for that child for three years, but I couldn't persuade him, so I had to let him go. ”
Yunqing sighed, no wonder he hasn't married at the age of eighteen!
Yuxi has a good memory and said, "If I remember correctly, your wife is an only daughter and has no brothers and sisters. Because of Jiang Hongjin, she is very concerned about the Jiang family, and she is also very clear about the situation of the Min family.
Jiang Hongfu nodded and said, "The princess remembers correctly, my wife is an only daughter, but we are the girl in the second room of the Min family." "The daughter of the second uncle of the Min family.
Yuxi didn't speak again. Because of Jiang Hongjin's relationship, she does not treat the people of the Jiang family well. Saving Jiang Hongfu is also to leave a way out for himself. As a result, the people he worked so hard to save were of no use at all.
Yunqing was in a good mood: "You have been in Ho City for a long time, and you can't always separate husband and wife, you should take their mothers over." Besides, Brother Jun'er, that child is eighteen years old, I haven't seen it yet, and I don't know if it looks like you?" "Min was not in good health when he married Jiang Hongfu, but after giving birth to a child, his health gradually improved. However, there was an accident in the Jiang family that year, and she was frightened and fell ill again. Over the years, it has also been a medicine.
"Brother Jun looks like his mother. After a pause, Jiang Hongfu said with a smile: "When I go back, I will send someone to pick up the two of them." "Jiang Hongfu took a concubine when he was in Hocheng, and the concubine gave birth to two sons and a daughter. However, because he knew that Yuxi didn't want to see his son, he never brought these three children to the palace.
It has to be said that sometimes the preferences of the superior have a great influence on the people below. Like Yuxi, who doesn't want to see his concubines, the officials below don't dare to spoil his concubines and kill his wives. In case someone is ginseng and falls into the eyes of the princess, the future is worrying.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Cousin left alone today, and we will have two drinks at noon." Although Jiang Hongfu has no blood relationship with him, the two have grown up together since childhood, and that affection is not comparable to ordinary people.
Jiang Hongfu hurriedly said: "Xiaguan still has some things to deal with. He heard that Yuxi didn't allow Yunqing to drink. Jiang Hongfu, who was afraid of Yuxi, did not dare to offend Yuxi.
Yuxi said expressionlessly: "It's not a matter of urgency, just deal with it in the afternoon." ”
Jiang Hongfu hurriedly lowered his head and bowed and said, "Yes." Yuxi spoke, where did he dare to refuse.
After Jiang Hongfu went out, Yun Qing asked strangely, "Why do I think my cousin is afraid of you?" In fact, not only Jiang Hongfu was afraid of him, but most of the other officials were a little afraid of Yuxi. However, in Yunqing's eyes, Yu Xiyu is no different from when she first got married, she is still so gentle and caring.
Yuxi snorted coldly and said, "The man who spoils his concubine and kills his wife is naturally afraid when he sees me." In fact, she knew the reason why Jiang Hongfu was afraid of him. The family was almost wiped out by her, can you not be afraid!
Yunqing said with a smile: "You can't hate the men in the world like me." "It's also that there are too many people who praise it, and Yunqing feels good about himself now.
Yuxi sighed and said, "I hope so!" Unfortunately, this is impossible.
