This year, after the beginning of autumn, there was no rain, and it was even hotter than the summer days.

The flowers and trees in the villa are wilted and listless. Mo Shu remembered the fragment of the dream in her previous life, and couldn't help frowning.

How has the drought started this year?

This also reminded Mo Shu of something, in the afternoon of the same day, Wu Ziheng sent buttermilk to Lengxiang Pavilion again, and Mo Shu mentioned it: "Cousin, do many people raise chickens around here?" ”

Wu Ziheng didn't know why Mo Shu suddenly asked about this, and said, "I don't know either, it shouldn't be much." ”

At the end of the year, the people had a hard time, and those who had more money had spare money to raise chickens, and after raising them, they would not slaughter and eat meat, but kept to lay eggs.

Mo Shu had already guessed the living conditions of the people nowadays, and she was afraid that raising a chicken would be exchanged for rice, flour, oil and salt without waiting for eggs, and it was estimated that there were not many that could be raised, so she thought about it and asked: "Are there many chickens sold in the market?" I want to go and buy some more and come back. ”

Wu Ziheng was noncommittal, looked up and asked, "What are you doing with so many chickens?" ”

Mo Shu had already prepared for this question, and said with a slight smile: "Of course it is raised to lay eggs, I want to bake cakes." ”

Nowadays, there are also confectionery called cakes, but they are similar to ordinary cakes, and there is no such thing as baking.

Wu Ziheng raised his eyebrows: "Bake a cake?" ”

Mo Shu nodded and said, "Well, you need to make the oven first, this cake is fluffy and delicious, and it's delicious." I'll have you try to knock out the oven and you'll be ready to taste it. ”

Wu Ziheng said: "Isn't it okay to buy eggs directly?" Still use chickens? ”

Mo Shu still insisted: "Of course not, you need a lot of eggs to bake a cake." I'm going to sell the cake to Chang'an, how can I get enough eggs in Fangshi? ”

"So, you have to arrange for someone to come out and raise chickens for you?"

"Anyway, there is no shortage of people in the house. Besides, cousin, don't you have a fief in this town? I'm going to let all these farmers in your fiefdom raise them too! ”

“…… My cousin has a good hand in calculation. ”

"How can you compare to your cousin." Mo Shu Yingying smiled, "It's only been a long time, and I've been using an abacus as an analogy." ”

Wu Ziheng said calmly: "What are you going to do?" ”

This Mo Shu had already planned in the book of his previous life, so he naturally came to it easily, and said: "Needless to say, the people in the house will raise it." As for the farmers, I can pay for people to go to the market and buy the chickens back, and then distribute them to raise. Let them turn in three or two eggs a month and it will do. ”

Wu Ziheng looked at Mo Shu lightly: This is called letting the villagers work? I paid for the chickens and came back to the farmer. Just to let each farmer hand in three or two eggs? This is preparing to be a great good person, right?

Mo Shu looked over with a smile: "What?" Is there anything wrong? ”

Wu Ziheng said: "No, you can like it." ”

Lu Jiu, who was standing outside the door, twitched his eyelids: his own marquis began to curry favor with the future young lady again.

Mo Shu was about to talk to Wu Ziheng about raising chickens, when she heard footsteps outside, and then Lu Jiu said outside: "Master Hou." There is a decree in the palace. ”

The Song Guogong Mansion heard that Liu Kai still had Wu Ziheng's old injuries unhealed after all. It is advisable to recuperate at home. There is no need to worry about the affairs of the northwest, so he took back his military power and was proud.

However, Yi An handed over the military power to the Jin State Mansion so lightly. There were still some surprises. Although he had expected that as long as Liu Kai opened his mouth, Wu Ziheng would definitely not resist and disobey the order, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard that he didn't say it explicitly, so Wu Ziheng took the initiative to say that the old injury had not healed, please remove his armor and recuperate.

However, the Jin State Mansion has been in the limelight recently, and those who are smarter know that they need to be restrained. After thinking about it, Yi An couldn't help but sigh:

It is said that the Wu family has always been aware of current affairs, but it is not a lie.

In the past few days, although Wu Xiang is still as stable as Mount Tai, as long as he knows how to observe words and feelings, he can see that he is not in a good mood.

It's understandable to think about it.

Seeing Wu Licheng's reaction, Liu Kai and Song Guogong's mood was much better. Liu Kai felt that this beating had paid off, and he was also satisfied with Wu Ziheng's acquaintance who handed over the military power quickly. And Song Guogong had been eating under Jin Guogong before, but now he has a bad breath.

Rumors began to circulate quietly at some point.

It is said that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was seized of military power this time, obviously because the Wu family offended the twelve princes for the Mo family before.

Some people even say that the Mo family's Liuniang is really a broom star, and how long has she been in the Jin State Mansion for a long time, she has caused such things, and even directly caused Wu Jiazaburo to lose his military power.

and Dao Wu's family should stay away from Mo Shu's evil star, so as not to cause any trouble.

Although the Mo family didn't go out much, they also heard these rumors, and the Yang family was not only angry at the rumors from outsiders, but also worried that Wu Ziheng would really blame Mo Shu because of this.

It's just that Yang's worries are obviously unnecessary.

After Wu Ziheng came out of the palace, he first went back to the Jin State Mansion before going to the villa. And when he was about to leave for the palace, he didn't forget to ask Lu Jiu to go to Zhang Luo to find a few people who could raise chickens for Mo Shu.

After returning to the villa, Wu Ziheng took the food he bought from Chang'an to Mo Shu, preparing to continue to listen to her about her plans.

Mo Shu was reading a medical book, and when she looked up, she saw Wu Ziheng entering the door without shying away, and casually threw the dark robe to Lu Si, who was following behind, revealing the white embroidered brocade robe inside.

It's really not at all.

Mo Shu looked up at the handsome and extraordinary Wu Ziheng, and said with a smile: "Cousin, aren't you worried that my evil star will harm you?" ”

Wu Ziheng glanced at Mo Shu lightly, and saw that she was not angry or self-pitying, just laughing, feeling a lot more relaxed, and she didn't speak, but she thought in her heart:

and who is the scourge of whom does not yet know.

Mo Shu has been by Wu Ziheng's side for some days, although he doesn't know very well what he thinks, and he also understands that if Wu Ziheng really doesn't want to return the military power, there are ways to delay, and he can't help but ask curiously: "Cousin, why did you return the military power?" What do you think? ”

Wu Ziheng raised his eyebrows slightly and did not speak immediately. Maybe Mo Shu didn't realize that she had unconsciously become closer to him these days, if she had changed the past, with her prudence, she would never ask such a question.

Now this little girl has the courage to speak.

That's a good thing.

Wu Ziheng slowly poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip of his lips, and then said lightly: "Now the situation in the northwest war has deteriorated because of the problems of grain and grass and supervising the army, which is not good for my big beam, but His Majesty does not have the slightest intention of truce. ”

"Huh?"

"In this case, instead of clinging to the power of the army, exchanging the casualties of the soldiers under my command for a crushing victory, or even becoming a sinner after losing the battle, it is better to push the boat with the water." Wu Ziheng said lightly.

I see! (To be continued.) )

PS: Small Theater:

Mo Shu: Now a lot of people say I'm a star......

Wu Ziheng: They are envious, jealous and hateful.

Mo Shu: I know, but I'm still not happy.

Wu Ziheng: Then how do you want to be happy?

Mo Shu (eyes shining): Throw me a silver ticket, play jewelry, buy a house and land!

Wu Ziheng: ......

Mo Shu (deflated): It's really not good, so let's let the farmer raise more chickens to lay eggs...... I'm of great use......

The next day, Wu Ziheng put the silver ticket, land deed, and house deed in front of Mo Shu: I have already booked with Yinlou, first go to pick out patterns and make jewelry, and then go to dinner.

Mo Shu (smiling): Okay. Did the farmer raise chickens?

Wu Ziheng: ......
