On the second day, two sacks of snowflake salt were thrown into the carriage, and Tang Xiaoshi took Tang Chun'er to Jingwang's mansion. Jingwangfu is located in the northwest corner of Chang'an City, is the most remote among many palaces, Tang Xiaoshi sighed, the emperor's small shoes are too obvious.

The Jingwang Mansion is very simple and simple, and there are not many servants, all of whom are old or disabled soldiers. Those servants still knew Tang Xiaoshi, and she didn't stop her when she wanted to go in, but just sneered at her, and her face was very ugly.

It seems that the original owner of this body is indeed very unpopular in the Jingwang Mansion, no wonder he was kicked out the day after the wedding.

Tang Xiaoshi doesn't care, if she is not welcomed, she will not be welcomed, anyway, she is not here to live today, but to make a transaction.

It's best not to know anyone after completing the transaction.

When she entered the hall, she didn't see King Jing, it seemed that she was deliberately avoiding her, Tang Xiaoshi was not annoyed, sat down and took a sip of tea, and asked the groom Lao Zhang to carry two sacks of salt to the hall.

Tang Xiaoshi didn't say anything, opened the sack neatly, grabbed a handful of white salt and sprinkled it on the table, glanced at the housekeeper who was obviously shocked but still pretended to be calm, and said, "Let your prince come out to see me." ”

……

……

In the backyard of King Jing's Mansion, I saw a man practicing martial arts with a gun, using his strength to be savage and domineering, and the long tassel was playing extremely fast, cutting through the air and whining.

In the winter, the man is actually shirtless, perhaps the reason for the perennial practice of martial arts, the tendons of the body are strong and beautiful, strong arms and chest, eight small abdominal muscles, but the movement is extremely light and sensitive. His hair is a little messy, under his eyebrows, his eyes are sharp, and his chin is a little scumbag, revealing an unruly temperament.

This person is King Jing Chu Ming, a good-looking seven-foot man.

He had been practicing for an hour, but he didn't mean to stop until Uncle Fu, the housekeeper in the house, came over, he put down the long tassel, took a linen cloth and wiped his face, and asked, "Is that woman gone?" ”

Chu Ming was indeed deliberately avoiding Tang Xiaoshi.

He can't stand their domineering, he can't stand their domineering, he can't stand their mutual comparison and noise for trivial things, dozens of people up and down their family have to raise, but he has no spare money to raise a noble lady, and he has no energy to accompany her to toss around.

When his father gave him a marriage, he refused, he Chu Ming didn't ask for wealth or family power, he just wanted to find a smart and open-minded woman to live his life, but his father promised him an official lady!

Before getting married, he heard that it was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was promised to be married to him, and the eldest lady's biological mother died early, and he was plotted by his stepmother to marry him, and he was extremely unwilling, and he heard that Miss Tang was the most bitter. Sure enough, on the first night of her marriage, the woman made a big fuss in the Jingwang Mansion, disgusted that the mansion was deserted, disgusted that there were too few maids and maids, disgusted that the food was unbearable, and clamored that she wanted to be in charge of the account books in the mansion......

In a fit of rage, Chu Ming ordered Tang Xiaoshi to be expelled from the Jingwang Mansion and snubbed her to Beizhuang, thinking that the Prime Minister's Mansion would come over to find trouble, but unexpectedly, the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't care about it, Chu Ming was iron-hearted, and he didn't want to see this woman's side again. In the middle, this shrew has also come back to make trouble a few times, all of them are old tricks, nothing more than a cry, two troubles and three hangings, a year ago I heard that she jumped over the water once, but it was the lotus bay where the water depth was only three feet......

After being rescued, it seemed that he had seen it all of a sudden, An An lived in Beizhuang, and he hadn't come to make trouble for a year.

Now that she is here, what tricks are she going to play?

Uncle Fu shook his head and said, "Princess, she wants to see you, Lord Wang." ”

"Uncle Fu, what does she want, if the house can afford it, give it to her, and then let her go, I don't want to see her, worry." With that, Chu Ming raised the long tassel and prepared to continue practicing. Who knew that Uncle Fu held the long tassel, stopped Chu Ming, and said, "Lord Wang, you should go and meet her." ”

Chu Ming looked back at Uncle Fu, and Uncle Fu's eyes were very strict, not like he was joking. Chu Ming was puzzled, it stands to reason that Uncle Fu has been with him for many years, and he understands his mind the most, what is that woman's ability to let Uncle Fu persuade him to meet her? He asked, "Uncle Fu, why?" ”

Uncle Fu said: "The princess brought two sacks of salt, and the old slave saw that the color was purer than the official's sea salt, and the princess said that she knew how to extract salt from mineral salt." ”

When Chu Ming heard this, his face instantly turned red, grabbed Uncle Fu's clothes, and said excitedly: "But really? ”

"It's true or false old slave I'm not sure, but the two sacks of white flower salt are real, now the heavy snow has closed the city, cutting off the trade route to Shandong, and the official salt can't be transported in, and it is very difficult to buy two sacks of good snowflake salt in the capital, unless the princess really knows how to make salt, she can take out two sacks of salt. Therefore, the old slave guessed that it should be somewhat credible, so he dared to come and disturb the prince. Uncle Fu explained.

Chu Ming pondered for a moment, Uncle Fu has always spoken objectively, and never adds bricks and tiles, so it is indeed somewhat credible, he said: "Uncle Fu, this matter is serious, it is really necessary to meet her, I will wait for her in the study." ”

Chu Ming put on his robe and walked towards the study.

Chu Ming hopes that Tang Xiaoshi can really extract edible salt from mineral salt, no matter how much he doesn't want to see her, he hopes that this is true, because this involves the stability of the entire Chu country and the well-being of the people.

Perhaps others don't know how precious salt is in the northwest border pass, but Chu Ming does, and he once led his troops to the northwest border pass to defend against the Turkic invasion. Hundreds of Turkic thieves slaughtered a village, not robbing grain and grass, not cattle and sheep, just to rob the small half-sack of salt!

Officers and men stationed in the northwest often do not eat salt once for several months, and their food is tasteless, and the limbs of officers and men who have not eaten salt for a long time are weak, their combat effectiveness has dropped sharply, and their muscles have even atrophied.

Chu Ming once saw the officers and soldiers kill a sheep with his own eyes, and he looked at the small half bucket of sheep blood, and he wanted to drink it all in one gulp, just for the pitiful salty taste in the sheep blood.

Although there are special officials responsible for transporting Haiyan from Shandong to the border passes, along the way, robbers loot, rain washes, and officials deduct it, and less than one in ten can transport it. There are many mountains in the northwest, and there is no mineral salt, but the mineral salt is poisonous, and if you eat a bite, the light ones vomit and diarrhea, and the heavy ones endanger their lives.

If I can really get rid of the poison of mineral salt, the people at the border can eat salt, and the officers and soldiers stationed there can taste the salty taste, and the Turkic thieves have no worries, I will definitely cut him down.

……

……

When Tang Xiaoshi walked into the study, Chu Ming was facing away from her, looking out the window, as if he was thinking.

Tang Xiaoshi found that her titular husband, judging from the back, was still quite handsome. Slender legs, tall and strong body, body proportions are not bad, wearing a gray-white robe, very simple, but clean and neat.

Sure enough, handsome people look good in anything!

Tang Xiaoshi suddenly felt that this back was so familiar, but she couldn't say why it was familiar, it was a kind of familiarity engraved into her bones.

Tang Xiaoshi coughed twice to signal that he was coming in, but the man didn't turn around, still looked out the window, and said in a low voice: "You're here?" "The deep voice is like a subwoofer.

Tang Xiaoshi sneered and said, "The prince is such a big shelf. ”

Chu Ming said: "I'm the prince of a palace girl, how can I have any srest, it's just that we are not suitable, and it is better not to see each other." ”

Tang Xiaoshi raised her hands and agreed, if it weren't for something to ask for, the ghosts would come to see you, how good it would be to play happily in their own world.

But at this time, he couldn't be defeated, Tang Xiaoshi said: "If you talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that I won't tell you about the way of salt making?" ”

Chu Ming replied calmly: "If you don't ask for me, you won't be in a hurry to see me, we take what we want, this is a deal." Besides, it is not yet known whether your salt-making technique is true or not, so it is too early to threaten me with it, right? ”

Damn it! was discovered.

Tang Xiaoshi admitted that this was the first man she had met since she arrived in the Chu Dynasty, and she could guess that she had come with a request.

Zhenjin is not afraid of fire refining, Tang Xiaoshi said: "Chun'er has already taken the materials to do the test in the secret room, I'm afraid the results have already come out at this time, we might as well sit and wait for a while to see if what I said is true or false." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the housekeeper Uncle Fu running in from the outer courtyard in a hurry, he was so excited that he messed up the rules, ran to Chu Ming, and said without taking a breath: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, it's true!" The little lady only brought a few catties of mineral salt and some tools into it, and after a while, she came out with half a catty of salt. ”

Can a little girl make salt?

Tang Xiaoshi obviously saw that the man's body trembled slightly, obviously he was also shocked.

Tang Xiaoshi wanted to laugh a little, but it was just a simple filter, precipitation, and evaporation crystallization, which junior high school student wouldn't know it in modern times? Look, I'm thrilling you.

However, Chu Ming quickly calmed down and said, "A year ago, you made a fuss, saying that you wanted this king to give you an heir, if you are willing to hand over the art of salt making, this king will agree to you." Chu Ming thought that he had seen through Tang Xiaoshi's thoughts, didn't what this woman wanted most was a child?

A woman who was abandoned by her family and her husband was bored and wanted an heir to rely on, but it was reasonable, Chu Ming suddenly felt a little pity for her. Since she sincerely brought the salt-making technique this time, then it will be fulfilled for her, Chu Ming thought to himself.

Hearing these words, Tang Xiaoshi almost gushed out a mouthful of old blood...... Lord, if you want to give it to your heirs, or to others, you don't need concubines!

The so-called heirs, don't they stay the same as the round house?

Before he crossed over, the owner of this body actually came back and asked for a round house and an heir...... It's really a shame for all of us women.

Also, Lord Wang, you actually betrayed your hue for a little salt-making technique, Lord Wang, please leave some temperance.

Tang Xiaoshi calmed down the 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart, and said: "At this time and that time, now I am no longer the original Tang Xiaoshi, and I have something else to ask for this time." If the prince wants the art of making salt, he only needs to accompany me to a banquet in two days and pretend to be a loving husband and wife. ”

Attending a feast? So easy? This king can even sell his hue for the sake of salt-making, not to mention just participating in a banquet, Chu Ming barely thought about it, and didn't ask what kind of banquet it was, so he said, "This king agreed." ”

"Well, tomorrow I will send someone to bring clothes, and the day after tomorrow you must wear the robes I sent and join me in the 100-day banquet of the prince of Qinwangfu. I don't think you have any desire to ride with me, so we have agreed to meet at the gate of King Qin's Mansion at the end of the day, and there is only one requirement, you must obey me at the banquet, can you do it? Tang Xiaoshi asked.

"As long as it has nothing to do with personality, I will listen to you." Chu Ming said.

It is said that the transaction is over at this point, and Tang Xiaoshi should leave. But Tang Xiaoshi suddenly wanted to see Chu Ming's face, such a figure, such an aura, what would he look like? Why does it always feel like his back is familiar?

Is it because I haven't seen a man for too long?

But Chu Ming didn't mean to turn around at all, Tang Xiaoshi had no choice but to give up, and he couldn't lean over to look at it shamelessly. Tang Xiaoshi found Chun'er, who not only completed the test, but also asked about King Jing's clothing size, so they didn't stay anymore and went home.
