Chapter 379: Thanksgiving [Pink 160+]
The matter was mentioned by Chai Rong first, the emperor and the Qiyan tribe have officially formed an alliance, and they need to fund a lot of weapons and horses over there, and of course, the most critical grain and grass. So I found this excuse and urged the palace to arrange the exam early.
Nianfu was very angry, "Why is what he says?" Obviously, he injured Ouyang Kang, but now that he is not well, he still has the face to urge the competition? Get him out of the way, so I don't want to see him!" ”
Mu Shaoqin gave her daughter a slightly calming look and asked the housekeeper to go out and reply.
"My lord is unwell, and the competition may have to be postponed, if Chai Gongzi is not available, it is not easy to be reluctant, after all, the emperor's mission is more important."
Chai Rong blocked this soft nail so much that he couldn't say a word, and walked away. The attitude of the people is very clear, even if you abstain if you don't come, love and wait. If you really want to make trouble with the emperor again for this, it will be too boring.
At the moment, he seems to have no better way than to wait.
So the old doctor Gao who Ouyang could rest assured could take care of his nose, and he could also receive love snacks from Pingwangfu every day, which was very comfortable.
It's just that Zhuang Ke seems to have disappeared from the sky, and he never appears.
Du Chuan wanted to use his friends on the road to search all over the capital, but Su Cheng was afraid that something bad would happen, so he stopped him.
A few days later, Aunt Kang didn't know if she had heard about Mrs. Tan, or she sniffed out something, and before Nianfu's father and daughter decided to "invite" them home, she suddenly took the initiative to come and leave.
The only request put forward was to leave Kang Jierong behind and ask Mu Shaoqin to help find a good in-law. even generously left Kang Shoujing, a strong laborer, behind.
“…… Shoujing is also the boss, and this time the horse was not selected, so I still have to let you help choose a good girl. Let's look at each other, and if there is a suitable one, let's set someone down. ”
If you really want to see the right one, who will ask you if you want to? At that time, the overlord will make a bow and get a powerful daughter-in-law for your family, only to know that Lu Dao Tai Sui's head can't move the soil! Nianfu made up his mind in his heart, and with a smile on his face, he wanted to send these three people away quickly.
However, Mu Shaoqin was a little hesitant, he was more mature than Nianfu in considering the problem. There are five people in this Kang family. He didn't want to stay at all, he just wanted to send the whole family out of Lu to feel at ease.
Ke Huiniang had a good impression of Kang Shoujing and Kang Jierong, so she readily accepted it first, and Mu Shaoqin couldn't open her mouth if she wanted to change it. Think of no more than two young people. It should be okay. And he said no more.
Without the shackles of grandmothers and aunts. Kang Shoujing is really like a bird that has broken free from his pet, indescribably happy. Immediately, he moved to the country grange to help his younger brother take care of the family.
Kang Shouyi didn't have much confidence in returning to Mu Mansion. At the same time, he lived in Dr. Gao's place for a period of time, and Luo Wulian said it a few times in the open and secret, and he was even more completely dead. When he went back to the countryside to check the Grange on the outskirts of Beijing, he wanted to move there and live in peace.
Kang Shoujing also likes there, Mu Shao is diligent and kind-hearted, and although the grange given to Kang Shouyi is not big, it is all medium or above good land. Although it was a natural disaster this time, as the weather warmed up, many things could be started.
The trouble that Mrs. Tan disliked, in the eyes of the two brothers, was a rare practice field that could take charge of their own affairs.
Kang Shoujing is very grateful, and he doesn't want to live in the prince all day long to eat rice with nothing to do, so he is very happy to take care of these trivial things. Besides, the countryside is quiet and the air is good, which is suitable for recuperating for my younger brother. Mu Shaoqin found them a right-hand man again, and the two brothers were full of energy, and they both felt that their lives were more fulfilling than before.
Anyway, it's not too far away, Kang Shoujing borrowed a horse from Mu Shaoqin, and it was convenient to run back and forth if there was anything.
It's just that Kang Jierong wants to restore the previous relationship with Nianfu, but it is a little unlikely.
After the last incident with Mrs. Tan, Nianfu always felt that this girl was a little remarkable. Let her rather go to Yao Shiyi to have a few words, or be ridiculed by her newly recognized godsister Norena for her horseback riding skills, rather than be there with her.
Kang Jierong saw that she couldn't please her, so she began to turn to please Hui Niang.
Hui Niang doesn't know what's going on, and she always says that she is blessed behind her back, and she doesn't get close to her relatives. However, Mu Shaoqin's heart was bright, but he persuaded, "Let's be blessed and not stupid children, who she likes, who she is willing to associate with you and let her go." Although Jierong's father and grandmother are gone, did they say that they were willing to admit Shouyi before leaving? Don't be too kind. If you have time, you might as well go and walk around with Mrs. Guan, don't call a little girl all day long. ”
He felt sorry for his wife, and some things were not easy to say too much. But Hui Niang didn't understand his kindness, and said, "I don't know how to talk about those official wives who speak in a crepe, where are you embarrassed to go often?" Gossip with a little girl from a relative's house at home, and you think I have a lot of things, so I might as well go back to the countryside. ”
Hearing her complain like this, Mu Shaoqin was busy and couldn't compensate. It's not easy to think about Hui Niang's new identity to integrate into the current new environment and new identity, if she is willing to talk to Kang Jierong, let her be, think that girl shouldn't have much to do.
But no one knows, Kang Jierong is silently counting the days every day, eighty-one days is not long, as long as the Queen Mother comes out, she will definitely persevere.
Life went on so uneventfully, and within a few days, there was finally exciting good news.
The mung beans of Nishiyama Onsen are ripe!
Under the leadership of the old village chief, the people of Matou Village harvested the first fresh mung beans in 41 days with the patience of raising children.
When the small bag of freshly ripe verdant mung beans was sent to the court and the emperor, the eyes of the civil and military officials lit up.
What could be more exciting than a bag of grain like this?
The mung bean vermicelli has not only been eaten by Gao Xian, but also by hundreds of civil and military officials, and even by the people affected by the disaster.
This thing is easy to put and preserve, whether it is mixed with cornmeal, or brown rice can be cooked, and a little pickles can be used as a staple food. And its growth cycle is short, only forty-one days can grow the first batch, which is a big problem to solve when a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived?
Without any suspense, the emperor decreed and fulfilled his promise.
The people of Matou Village were exempted from taxes and forced labor for ten years, and gave Matou Village a couplet with a royal pen with a smile, "The best mung bean in the world will solve the country's difficulties in forty days." ”
It's more than anything else! The old village chief who came to deliver mung beans in person was so excited that he cried like a child.
After coming back to his senses for a long time, he immediately pulled a eunuch to inquire, "Where is the Jiashan County Lord's house?" ”
He had to take the whole village to beat gongs and drums and give people plaques! If it weren't for her recommendation that day, would they have been able to get such an honor that will last forever?
But the eunuch smiled and waved his hand, and told the words from the county lord of Jiashan, "This credit is all the hard work of the people of Matou Village, and there is really no need to thank her." ”
The old village chief was very upset, and asked the emperor what reward he gave to the county lord. To his surprise, the answer was no.
Even the palace dining room has been rewarded for its merits in making mung bean vermicelli, and the county lord of Jiashan, who can introduce the people of Matou Village and first propose the practice of mung bean vermicelli, is unexpectedly forgotten and has not been rewarded.
What's going on? Could it be that the matter of offering food to the Queen Mother that day will be repeated?
Mu Shaoqin wanted to say something to his daughter, so Nianfu smiled and patted his father's arm, signaling that he knew what he knew and ran to find the emperor's cousin.
"Since this method is feasible, it is better to ask the imperial dining room to open the mung bean workshop to Xishan and produce it locally, which is more convenient. I also want to recommend one person, Lu Ying, who was expelled from the palace by the emperor. Let her be in charge of the production over there, and make meritorious contributions. ”
Gao Xian was a little surprised, and only listened to his cousin, "Miss Lu San has already known her mistake since she was punished. She funded herself and made 10,000 catties of mung bean fans, and also wanted to contribute to the emperor's disaster relief. These days, she has also improved the practice of mung bean vermicelli, increasing the yield and production speed of mung bean vermicelli, which is really a talent. ”
But Gao Xian didn't care about this, but Nianfu's attitude, "This Lu Ying seemed to have a little holiday with her cousin before, and you were actually willing to say good things for her?" ”
Nian Fu said calmly, "The conflict between me and her is a private matter, and to be honest, I still don't like her." However, disaster relief is a big deal, and she is indeed a capable person, so why should I not put the capable person in the most appropriate position and do what she should do most because of my selfishness? The emperor said before that he would not let her enter the palace again, and the Son of Heaven said that of course it would be difficult to chase the horse. But letting her go to Xishan to work is not a violation of this article, right? ”
Gao Xian nodded and praised, "My cousin's open-mindedness is something that many men can't match." Okay, since you intercede for her, then I will open the side and order her to go to Xishan to prepare for the establishment of this fan workshop. If she does a good job, I may allow her to be fed outside the court. ”
When the news reached the imperial dining room, Lu Ying cried with joy.
Even if you can't enter the palace to worship again, there are countless annexes outside the palace. If she is allowed to worship there, it will also greatly restore her reputation. This is not in vain for her hard work day and night, and even took out her dowry book to fight.
It's good to be glorified. Wiping away her tears, Lu Ying hurriedly thanked Yu Sansheng, who had brought the good news.
But Yu Sansheng said, "If you want to thank the county lord of Jiashan for this time, if she hadn't helped speak in front of the emperor, the emperor would not have given you such a good opportunity." ”
Lu Ying said humbly, "Master, I will cherish this opportunity, and I will not disappoint the emperor and live up to the county lord's kindness." ”
Seeing that she was grateful, Yu Sansheng was satisfied with a few more words and left.
But Lu Ying turned his face, but clenched his fists, slightly angry.
