Hearing Xu Hong calling her behind her, Zhou Ying stopped, turned around and smiled at Xu Hong, and then nodded to Zhou Huan, who was left behind by Xu Hong.

Zhou Huan was seen by Zhou Ying in a predicament, and he was ashamed and annoyed. She straightened her back, refusing to lose face in front of Zhou Ying, raised her chin, and smiled stiffly at Zhou Ying. Then she glanced at Xu Hong unwillingly, after all, she didn't want to follow up and humiliate herself, so she gritted her teeth and turned away.

Xu Hong followed, caught a glimpse of Zhou Huan leaving, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ying couldn't help but smile, "The sixth sister is gentle and beautiful, why does my cousin have to be like a tiger and a wolf?" ”

Xu Hong glared at Zhou Ying, "Obviously, when he saw that I was in a sea of suffering, he didn't say that he would save me, so he knew that he would stand on the dry shore and watch jokes." Xu Hong paused, his tone was like a joke, and it seemed to be serious, "No matter how good she is, it's not the one in my heart." ”

Zhou Ying was about to ask who it was, when she caught a glimpse of Xu Hong's eyes, her heart suddenly jumped, she turned her eyes, changed the topic, and said: "This little master should also arrive, shouldn't my cousin be in a hurry to go to the outer study?" ”

Xu Hong smiled when he heard this, "I have followed the eldest prince to the Ministry of Industry now, if I hadn't had something to see my aunt, I wouldn't have come to the palace today." ”

Zhou Ying also reacted, although she found the wrong topic in a hurry, she didn't blush or feel uncomfortable, and apologized generously, "Look at my memory, I just entrusted the eldest brother a few days ago, and I forgot about it today, I really should fight." ”

Xu Hong didn't hold on, only glanced at Zhou Ying deeply, and said with a smile: "I was about to tell you about this." The craftsman you asked the prince to find has already helped you find it. When is it convenient for you, I'll take you to see it? ”

Zhou Ying's eyes lit up, "This dare is good, thank you cousin." ”

When Zhou Ying opened the mansion, he got the emperor's reward of Tang Muyi, Tai'an Prefecture and Liaozhou, a total of two states and ten counties, the former is rich in salt, the latter is prevalent in literary style, and there are many talented people, this reward is not rich. There are still seven or eight imperial villages, more than a dozen hectares of fertile land, and five or six shops in the most prosperous area of the capital. After she looked at the account books of previous years and inspected her own property nearby, she also had a bottom in her heart.

Tai'an Prefecture and Liao Zhou, the former can make money, and the latter can invite fame, but they all need to be slowly figured out. Zhou Ying also sent people to improve the salt method or prepare the academy. However, in the end, this era is agriculture-oriented, and Zhou Ying is also ready to start from this aspect.

Nowadays, the people still use the straight plow, and the curved plough is far more economical than the straight plow. After Zhou Ying checked the book, he found the prototype in "Qi Min Yaoshu", and there was also a Quyuan plow in the book, but because the record was lost, it could only be speculated that it was a short Yuan plough and was not promoted, which also gave Zhou Ying such an improved source.

Zhou Ying wants to make a curved plow, as the name suggests, is to first change the straight wheel to the curved wheel, and then from long to short, and add a plow plate that can be rotated at the head of the wheel, so that the plow frame becomes lighter, convenient to turn around, easy to operate, and also save the power consumed by people and animals.

However, although Zhou Ying knows the principle, she is not a professional in the end, so she has to find a skilled craftsman who specializes in farm tools.

It happened that the emperor was in a good mood during the Chinese New Year, and the eldest prince Zhou Lian and the second prince Zhou Yan were both very good, brothers, friends and brothers, and devoted themselves to learning, so that the emperor was a lot of anger, so he was relieved and let the two princes re-enter the court. However, after the experience of the previous car last time, the emperor refused to let them contact important affairs again, so that one of the two princes entered the Ministry of Works, and the other entered the Ministry of Rites, and went to recuperate.

Although the Ministry of Industry is a place where Zhou Lian, the eldest prince who wants to save qualifications and do practical things, it is a place where he can't do anything, but for Zhou Ying, he is sleepy and touches the pillow.

Since the southern tour, Zhou Lian has shown favor to Zhou Ying many times, it is true that Zhou Ying helped him get rid of his crimes, but Zhou Ying also understands that even if Zhou Ying does not act at that time, the queen will arrange a follow-up move to involve the second prince Zhou Lian in the crime. Although the Jinfu kidnapping case is related to the queen, it is different, which does not affect Zhou Lian's friendship with her. What's more, Zhou Ying is now at odds with Xu Guifei, and Zhou Lian's overtures, of course Zhou Ying wants to continue.

Appropriate showing weakness and asking for help is far closer than always claiming to be a benefactor, and Zhou Ying knows the reason. Sure enough, after opening his mouth, Zhou Lian didn't think it was a pestle, but he smiled and agreed, but the next day, he found someone for Zhou Ying.

Zhou Ying thought for a while, and added: "I still have a few drawings at home, and I can only go back to get them after I finish school." If my cousin is busy, you might as well tell me where those craftsmen live, and I'll go back and go myself. ”

Xu Hong originally wanted to stay with Zhou Ying for a while, but when he saw that she was no, he had to say: "Where is it so troublesome, I'll send it to you later." ”

Zhou Ying thanked and said, "Then there is Cousin Lao." ”

Xu Hong sent Zhou Ying to the inner study, and then turned around and left the palace.

At this time, in the inner study, the seat of the second princess Zhou Ke was already empty, but with the addition of ten princesses, the study was not empty. Zhou Huan sat on the seat and played the guzheng, and occasionally looked at it with a deep look in his eyes. Zhou Ying didn't see it and sat down beside Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao dipped in one wall, and quipped: "How did you bully her again, that song was so bulleted that it was so resentful that it was about to drip water." ”

Zhou Ying took out the pipa, tried the audition, and said with a smile: "As soon as I saw her, I couldn't wait to walk next to the wall, and this time I didn't even dare to say a word to her, and I hurriedly avoided her when I saw her from afar, so this time I was really wronged." ”

Zhou Yao didn't ask, just shook her head and smiled: "If you make her angry like this without saying a word, it can be seen that your skills are getting more and more profound." ”

Thinking of Xu Hong, who was in trouble, Zhou Ying sighed in her heart, she would rather have this kind of skill.
