It only took Brother Parrot a day to find out about Liu Xi and Chrysanthemum.

After Cai Wei learned about the cause and effect of the two of them, she was sincerely happy for them, but unfortunately, the capital was thousands of miles away from Tongzhou, and she couldn't go there to meet them for a while, so she could only bless them from afar......

A month later, Cai Wei summoned Mo Shuya and said regretfully: "The palace has already found out that Liu Xi unfortunately encountered robbers on the way out of Beijing last year and has died......

Speaking of Liu Xi, Cai Wei was also very guilty, but in order to get rid of Mo Shuya's thoughts, she had to say so, otherwise, with Mo Shuya's impulsive nature, she might do something crazy.

Mo Shuya learned of Liu Xi's 'death,' and immediately cried bitterly, almost fainting, and in the end, she left Shouxian Palace in despair, and even forgot to say goodbye to Cai Wei.

However, Cai Wei won't blame her for this, she just hopes that this little girl can get out of this matter quickly.

In fact, if it weren't for Liu Xi having married Chrysanthemum, Cai Wei would be happy to fulfill Mo Shuya and Liu Xi, but Chrysanthemum's luck was better than Mo Shuya's, she took the lead, and was lucky to marry Liu Xi, Liu Xi is a modern person, and his head is also filled with modern thoughts, he will not have three wives and four concubines like a man in this era, since he married Chrysanthemum, he will be responsible for her and her children, and be good to them for the rest of his life.

Chrysanthemum can marry Liu Xi, which is undoubtedly the best choice in her life, much better than marrying Li Sheng or Mo Zili......

In a flash, more than two months passed quickly, God still did not have a drop of rain, in many places, the ground has dried up, the water level of rivers and lakes has dropped, and even dried up, and the crops have naturally been affected by Yanzhòng, although most areas have been planted with drought-resistant crops, but the affected areas have seen the future trend - there will inevitably be a large reduction in yield or even no harvest.

Fortunately, the people have planted seeds issued by the imperial court in the past two years, and the annual grain output is very high, so every household has a grain store, plus His Majesty's promise, and when the people are not enough to eat, they will open a warehouse and release grain, so the people are very relieved, everyone knows that His Majesty has not stored food in the past two years, so there is no panic at all.

In August, the drought showed no signs of abating, and another disaster struck.

The ancients said: The drought is extremely dry and the locusts, the locusts are extremely warm and dry, and the long-term drought in the Great Jin Kingdom really caused the locust plague of Yan zhòng.

In ancient times, locust plague was one of the three major natural disasters alongside floods and droughts, especially locust plagues always followed by droughts, and the overwhelming locusts ate a large number of vegetation, resulting in grain production and starvation, and I don't know how many peasant uprisings were induced and how many changes of imperial power were caused. The word "locust" is taken from the meaning of "insect king", which shows that the ancients spoke highly of it.

Locusts are good at flying, they can generally migrate 600 kilometers after swarming, and some can migrate thousands of kilometers.

It is estimated that a dense migratory colony of up to 40 billion locusts can eat 80,000 tonnes of various foods a day, equivalent to the annual food ration of 400,000 people. Therefore, it is important to destroy locusts that are able to migrate before they take off.

Nangong Yi had long expected that the drought would cause a locust plague, but he didn't know how to deal with it, but fortunately, Cai Wei, a modern military advisor, was in the array, and proposed some methods to exterminate locusts to him, such as: Mingjin expelling method, hunting method, fire method, deep burial method of ditch, digging method, and using the sand king plundering method while the locust wings are wet and difficult to fly in the early morning......

Among them, the most widely implemented is the edible law.

Locusts can be used in medicine and have medicinal properties:

According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, locusts can treat a variety of diseases alone or in combination, such as tetanus, infantile convulsions, fever, asthma, swelling, cormorant plague, chilblains, tracheitis and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. You can take ten decoctions, or fry the end of the grinding, five/time, and apply the fried and stored sesame oil to the affected area.

Cai Wei Ming Tai Hospital publicized this recipe, encouraging and calling on the people not to waste locusts, which are edible and medicinal, and also encouraged local officials to call on the people to use locusts in their dishes, insects contain a lot of protein, which is very good for people's health.

However, the common people were afraid of offending the "locust god", and they were still very afraid that they would eat locusts, but when they heard that the queen's mother's barbecue restaurant actually had a dish that relied on locusts, and it was very famous and expensive, they were not so repulsed in their hearts.

Even the food sold at the queen's mother's house must be excellent, and everyone follows the method of relying on locusts from the queen's mother's house, and wears the locusts they have caught on the branches, brushes them with oil, and roasts them over charcoal fires, which is really delicious!

As a result, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry rushed to eat locusts, and the people began to eat this delicacy in large quantities.

Before the poor locusts could multiply and flood in large numbers, the people of the Great Jin Dynasty who were united in their hearts were almost eaten.

Locusts are pure green food, containing a lot of protein, delicious and delicious, whether steamed, boiled, fried, sauced, are very delicious, there are even people who are addicted to eating, after that, locusts are like fish and shrimp, developed into a delicacy, many people living in the city in order to give themselves a tooth sacrifice, so deliberately run to the suburbs to catch locusts and come back to eat.

Gradually, the people's fear of the locust god became less and less, and they no longer talked about locusts as before, but began to salivate reflexively when they talked about locusts.

In such an atmosphere, the locust plague was naturally exterminated invisibly.

……

In November, Nangong Yi passed the decree to open warehouses and release grain to several state capitals that had no harvest, and the grain he had hoarded and purchased for two years had a place to use, and the people who had no harvest had winter grain to eat, and the people got the grain sent by the government, and the places that were lightly affected by the disaster, although they did not send them grain, they were directly exempted from servitude and taxes, and the burden was reduced to the people; The localities that were not affected by the disaster were taxed as before, and they were not made to pay more conscription because the country was affected by the disaster, and for this reason, the people embraced the saint even more, and worshiped him as if he were a god.

Although it took a lot of their hard work and a lot of money, they saw that the people survived this disaster safely, neither one died in this disaster, nor did a family leave their hometown, they all felt that the hard work of the past two years was not in vain, and all the efforts and hardships were worth it!

During the Chinese New Year, because Dajin was affected by the disaster this year, Nangong Yi ordered to reduce the amount of money and save expenses, so the whole New Year's celebration was much less than in previous years, and even the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was not allowed to be held.

Despite this, the people are very content, in such a big disaster year, everyone can still eat and dress warmly, it is not easy, as long as people are still there, there will be time to enjoy life in the future, why care about this year's festival?

Here, the queen of Xianbei has given birth, fortunately, she finally gave birth to a prince as she wished, Helan Hao, the king of Xianbei country, was overjoyed, the child was not yet full moon, and he decreed that he was crowned the prince, and Chaogui finally got what he wanted, and he was naturally very happy.

Fei'er was not very happy, because she gave birth to a girl in this child, although Mo Ziqi said that giving birth to boys and girls are the same, and sons and daughters are equally painful, but Mo Ziqi has a noble status, how can a man of his status do without a son?

A few months after giving birth, she tried her best to conceive, and she was ready to make persistent efforts to give birth to a son.

Mo Ziqi was reluctant to let her get pregnant one after another, and she was pregnant frequently, and his sexual life was out of the question, so he refused to agree to anything, and he had to wait for her two daughters to get pregnant when they were older.

Fei'er gave birth to a daughter again, although the old lady and Li Guogong, Mo Yuanshan and Wu and other elders were very disappointed, but fortunately, they were used to it, and Mo Zijing's wife Yang gave birth to several daughters in a row, and finally gave birth to a boy.

Maybe the feng shui of the Mo family is like this, there is already a fourth-generation male in the family, although there is a little less, but Mo Zijing and Mo Ziqi are still young, and they will definitely have children in the future, not to mention the two of them, even Mo Zili, who is already disabled, will figure it out sooner or later, and will accept the family's arrangement to give birth to an heir with which girl.

In the past few years, Chunliu, Xiaozhi and Zhaoqiu have all been upgraded to motherhood, among them, except for Chunliu's daughter, Xiaozhi and Zhaoqiu's sons are sons, and Zhaoqiu's are still twins, and the chasing wind that has always looked at the world with a cold face is broken, showing a smile for the first time in his life, and even his eyes are smiling when he stays by Nangong Yi's side to guard, looking at his miserable smile, Cai Wei feels panicked, and regrets helping him marry his daughter-in-law for the first time......

The days go by, plain, warm, but always happy......

……

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and Nangong Yi and Cai Wei are still in love and respect each other. When His Majesty got married, he once announced to the world that he would never accept a concubine in the harem of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the people thought it was an impulsive vow made by him, but they didn't expect that more than ten years had passed. His Majesty still has a soft spot for the queen.

Although the queen mother is beautiful, but in front of a person all day long, after watching it for a long time, one day she will see enough, for the emperor to favor a woman for such a long time, I don't know how many people were shocked and felt unbelievable.

You know, even ordinary men can't do this! Not to mention, the emperor who has supreme power.

When His Majesty got married and made the holy decree that he would never accept a concubine, there were still many people outside who bet that His Majesty could always be good to the queen mother alone, and for how long.

Now that more than ten years have passed, the relationship between the two is still as stable as a rock, even better than if they had just married, as if they were alone. This made many people feel incredible, but for Nangong Yi, it was not a difficult thing.

Men are indeed animals with lower bodies, but if they have no self-control and are dominated by their own thoughts, what is the difference between such a man and a beast? Isn't the reason why man is called human because of this self-control that is different from that of wild beasts?

Flowering is not an excuse, a man is willing to guard a woman, in addition to his strong self-control, it also depends on whether the woman is worth it. And his Cai Wei is the one who deserves to let him do this.

Over the years, they have penetrated each other's vitality and become an inseparable whole, they can see what each other wants to say and do through each other's eyes. They are becoming more and more compatible, from the point where the spirit, the Tao, and the Tao are perfect, and others cannot replace them.

Therefore, Nangong Yi never thought of pampering other women, Cai Wei never worried about this, every year during the draft, in order to attract the eyes, she will deliberately choose some girls with outstanding appearance to serve in the palace, when the little girls did not enter the palace, they had heard of His Majesty's handsome and martial arts, and they were deeply in love with the queen's mother, and they all admired him, and some people secretly had the ghost idea of seducing him.

However, when they saw the queen mother, the previous obscene idea disappeared immediately, because everyone is self-aware people, and when they see the queen mother who is a little more beautiful than the fairy, their appearance is only enough to make a small foil for the queen mother at best.

Some people suddenly realized after seeing the queen mother, no wonder the emperor has favored the queen mother for more than ten years, in this world, there is indeed no second more beautiful woman than the queen mother!

Reasoning, the queen is thirty years old, there should always be some signs of aging, but the years seem to favor her extraordinarily, thirty-year-old her, still a ten-year-old girl, her body, both of which have the youth of a girl, and the charm of a young woman, both of which are nirvana to capture the hearts of men, no wonder the emperor will be dead to her.

When they saw the mode of getting along between the emperor and the queen again, the queen's ability and demeanor were really convinced.

The queen mother is generous and benevolent, but she is not the kind of white lotus who will only live and have a soft face, she is rigid and soft, vigorous and resolute, active in thinking, and has a strong ability to do things, often helping the emperor to take care of the government, give advice, review and review, and manage state affairs.

It's not surprising that such a queen can spoil the harem alone!

Such a perfect woman, the emperor has her, and he will never find another woman, if they are the emperor, they will also favor the queen alone, after all, compared with white rice and brown rice, the vast majority of people would rather eat white rice for the rest of their lives than eat brown rice once. What's more, if you eat brown rice once, you won't be able to eat white rice again!

June 17 is Cai Wei's 30th birthday, more than 10 years ago, Cai Wei has never had a big birthday, but 30 years old is the whole life, and the ancients have a 30 and stand up, so, at the insistence of Nangong Yi and Jin'er Yu'er, Cai Wei's 30th birthday was organized with great fanfare.

For the Thousand Autumn Festival of Cai Wei, Nangong Yi not only ordered an amnesty to the world, but also exempted all the people of Cai Wei's hometown Qingyun Town from a year's forced labor. The queen mother not only won glory and color for her hometown, but also brought such a big economic benefit to her hometown, how can you not be grateful?

Cai Wei's Thousand Autumn Festival banquet was held in Linshui Pavilion, and not only all the royal family members participated, but also Cai Wei's family.

Today's Jin'er and Yu'er are already sixteen-year-old beautiful boys, Jin'er has been made the crown prince, and the lord of Mengnu County has been appointed as the crown princess, and she will marry next year; Yu'er was named King Fu, and set the princess of Xianbei Guoyan Helan Min as the princess of Fu, and she will also get married next year, and Mingzhu is also engaged, although Nangong Yi is not happy with a hundred and a thousand, but a good girl is afraid of Lang chasing, these years, Chao'er has taken great pains to chase the pearl, and has used all kinds of tricks, and even imitated Nangong Yi back then, and solemnly promised the people of the world that he would never marry another woman in his life except for the crown princess!

Such a heavy promise moved Mingzhu, and finally responded to his feelings, and also secretly promised this persistent little prince, after revealing his heart to the queen mother, he was promised by his mother to be the crown princess, and the wedding date was set for the year after tomorrow!

Before they got engaged, Liaodan's Great Khan Saknu had proposed to Mingzhu for his eldest son, but Nangong Yi and Cai Wei refused directly without even thinking about it, his eldest son was quite a father's legacy, liked women, ** was also very strong, only a teenager, there was ** concubine.

Such a man, Nangong Yi would rather have his daughter never marry for life, and would never want to marry his daughter.

The prince of Liaodan had seen Mingzhu and was madly fascinated by it, and he also swore that as long as Mingzhu was willing to marry him, he would immediately dismiss all the concubines and live alone with her.

However, his promise of this idea, compared with Chao'er, who has not been contaminated with any woman, is obviously not enough, not to mention that Zhu doesn't look down on him, even Cai Wei and Nangong Yi will never marry their daughter to him.

When the news of Mingzhu and Chao'er's engagement spread, the eldest prince also had a hard attack, and he angrily swore to the south that when he did a big sweat in the future, he would definitely destroy the Dajin who dared not to put him in his eyes and the Qingluo Kingdom that robbed his beloved woman.

This matter was known to Saknu, he took the whip and beat his son fiercely, and warned her that as long as Queen Mu of the Great Jin Kingdom was there, she would never fight the idea of the Great Jin Kingdom or the Qingluo Kingdom, and not even the idea of the Xianbei Kingdom, otherwise, he would not know how he died!

The eldest prince is a bloody man, he was whipped open by his father, but he even snorted, gritted his teeth and held back, forced to form shì, he had to agree to his father's request, but he hated Dajin and Qingluo to death in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he must snatch the pearl back in the future.

This is a later story, so I won't mention it......

In the waterfront pavilion

The royal relatives greeted each other, and the princes of those fiefs also left the fiefdom and entered Beijing to congratulate the queen on her birthday.

In addition to the king, there are also a lot of princesses, county kings, eldest princesses, and county lords, plus Cai Wei's mother's family, which actually filled the verandahs on both sides of the Linshui Pavilion.

When Cai Wei and Nangong Yi came in, except for Concubine Yao, everyone else stood up and saluted Cai Wei and Nangong Yi respectfully.

Cai Wei smiled: "Today is a family banquet, you don't have to be formal, just how comfortable you are." ”

Everyone thanked them and got up and sat down.

Cai Wei is dressed very chic today, she is wearing a bright yellow chrysanthemum pattern of wide-sleeved satin phoenix robe, decorated with glass beads of the robe feet soft and soft, rubbing sound, the robe with thin gold thread embroidered with large blooming chrysanthemums, thin silver thread outlines the delicate outline, the following red cinnamon rabbit pattern makeup yarn horse face skirt, this laurel rabbit pattern makeup yarn inch inch gold, the color is brilliant and brilliant, beautiful as the sky clouds, rich and elegant, the upper pattern is thick and beautiful, graceful and luxurious, the color is bright and solemn, the gold thread is secretly woven lines, When it hangs quietly, it is not dewy, and it is really golden and brilliant when it moves slightly, which is dizzying.

While walking, with the fluttering of her clothes, her slender and undulating figure was outlined, and her fair skin could be blown away.

Although she is already thirty years old, no one can see Cai Wei's real age, nourished by the aura of space, and her appearance is still like a ten-year-old girl, pure and charming, which makes people envious.

Nangong Yi's appearance is no different from what he wanted to compare with more than ten years ago, but after the precipitation of the years, he is a little more calm and domineering than before in terms of bearing, and they sat on the throne in the middle with their hands and announced the opening of the banquet.

So, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas were brought up like flowing water, and Nangong Yi personally took care of the vegetables and wine for picking the weeds.

In addition to him, there is another man here who also takes care of his wife like Nangong Yi, and this person is Nangong Yi's younger brother King Jing.

King Jing has gone to Cai Wei's little sister Mu Caidie as a concubine a few months ago, the husband and wife are talented and beautiful, and they are both gentle and meticulous temperaments.

Now, Fluttershy has been pregnant for more than a month, and she is on the way to the capital to congratulate her sister on her birthday, this is King Jing's first child, King Jing's baby is very much, so she is also cautious about Die'er, lest something go wrong.

Du Shi and Mu Zhongqing saw that the three sons-in-law were so considerate, not to mention how happy they were, Mu Zhongqing sat firmly on the chair, talking to Mo Yuanshan while paying attention to the movements of his daughter and son-in-law. Seeing that the sons-in-law took excellent care of his daughters, he was very satisfied.

It's just that the second son-in-law didn't sit with Fei'er.

Sitting with Fei'er is their three-year-old son Mo Chengzu, this little guy is Fei'er's fourth child, the first three are all daughters, and it is easy to give birth to a son.

Mo Ziqi and Fei'er are especially ke, the old grandfather and Mo Yuanshan are indeed very accustomed to children, even if this kid wants the moon in the sky, his grandfather and grandfather have to find a way to help him pick it. At today's palace banquet, this kid had to sit with his mother, and it shouldn't be reasonable, but the old Duchess and the Wu family looked at him, and Mo Ziqi had no choice but to let go.

Sitting with Mo Ziqi was Wen'er, who was already in his early twenties.

Now he is already a tall and handsome adult man, when he was a child, he liked to pretend to be old the most, and now that he has grown up, he has brought his childhood temperament into full play, a young and handsome young man, always with a straight face, looking more majestic and inoffensive than the second brother-in-law, the general.

In fact, he has no fame now, because Mu Zhongqing doesn't want his sons to go out too early, so as not to be said by others to be nepotism, even Nangong Yi wanted to make him prime minister He refused, and only accepted the position of a second-grade Taibao, this official position has no real power, but Mu Zhongqing doesn't care.

As long as the children can do well, it doesn't matter if he is an official or not, he is a person who does not chase fame and fortune, and he never pays attention to the level of official position.

Du Shi is already the wife of Zheng Erpin, but she still maintains a low-key and modest temperament, and has never been proud that her son-in-law is the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, Du Shi was sitting beside the old lady Bai of Jian'anhou, and carefully asked how old the granddaughters of the old lady Jian'anhou were and what their temperament was.

Wen'er is already in his twenties, but he has not yet decided on a marriage, and he himself is not in a hurry, anyone who comes to propose marriage, he has to secretly look at it, if it does not suit his wishes, with how noble the young lady is and how beautiful she looks, he categorically refuses to agree.

------Off topic------

Friends, it's going to be the finale tomorrow, and it may be posted a little later, so let's brush it at night, what's the matter!

T
