Chapter 184: Peace of Mind
The news that Emperor Qi proposed the marriage of Hua Yue and Xiao Yu soon spread in Yong'an County.
Because Xiao Yu, the county lord, has only been newly sealed, although she is not as flamboyant as Li Ying, and she has entered the city with a full guard of honor, there are many people who know about it, but few people have heard of Hua Yue's name.
However, ordinary people just talk about these things after dinner, and they don't really pay attention to them.
Only when the people concerned listen to it will their mood rise and fall.
In addition to the Jingnan County Palace, there are indeed quite a few people in the city who care about this matter, and Zhao Jing and Qin Guangyu are two of them.
Compared with Li Ying's unacceptability, Qin Guangyu and Zhao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Jing had heard of Hua Yue from Li Ying before, so when she heard that the saint pointed out that the object of marriage for Xiao Yu was not King Li Qi of Thailand but Hua Yue, she actually had a sense of schadenfreude in her heart.
After all, no matter how good Hua Yue is, she is still a blind person, how can she compare with the six princes who are very promising to become the crown prince!
And Qin Guangyu heard that Xiao Yu was not married to Li Qi, and the stone in his heart also fell to the ground. That Hua Yue's power is not as powerful as Li Qi, and it has nothing to do with him, and she is also close to the General's Mansion and Xiao Yu, and the two have little influence on him, much better than Xiao Yu marrying into the Thai Palace.
In this way, Qin Guangyu settled down and prepared for next year's spring.
There are six princes in the capital, and Qin Guangyu feels that this time the Toad Palace is bound to win. Now he can get out of bed and walk around, but the shame of being beaten is deeply engraved in his heart, and the hatred for the Xiao family has begun to take root like weeds since he was beaten, and has grown wildly.
The decree of the marriage was also sent to Huafu.
As for why Huafu is obviously in the capital, this holy decree is delayed compared to the one sent to Xiaofu, it is unknown.
However, some people privately speculated that Emperor Qi deliberately did it after hearing the rumor of marrying the king of Thailand, and he had the intention of temptation. And now the king of Thailand has no complaints, he is still respectful, and he also sends gifts to the two governments to congratulate, and those people think that the holy government is also satisfied with his reaction.
Such speculation about the divine will should not have been proclaimed. But I don't know who came out.
Xiao Yu didn't know anything about this. After hearing that Emperor Qi had given her and Hua Yue a marriage, she had been in a state of surprise and worry, and she hadn't really come back to her senses.
Although she has been engaged, Hua Yue does not have any sense of avoiding suspicion. I have been more diligent in delivering things to Xiao's house.
In addition to porcelain, there are also all kinds of gadgets, which are extremely kitsch, Xiao Yu smiles like flowers every day, which makes people envious and jealous.
Xiao Pei touched the scene. I couldn't help but think of Qin Guangyu who often sent things over at the beginning.
Now Hao Jun is still the same as before, every time he comes over, he buys a lot of items, perhaps inspired by Hua Yue, and there are also many exquisite items, which are said to be bought for Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei.
Because Xiao Yu is not as good as before, he has already decided on a family affair, and Hao Jun is a foreign man, Xiao Pei euphemistically mentioned to him that he should avoid taboos.
Hao Jun was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded and promised to only give it to Xiao Pei next time.
made Xiao Pei angry and funny, but his mood was relieved a lot.
A few days passed. Changle Villa received a letter from the capital, but it was the will written by Emperor Qi himself, telling Hua Yue about the marriage.
Hua Yue quickly sent this will to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu's face was red, and he really put his mind at ease and put most of his mind back on planting sweet potatoes.
As Xiao Yu expected, these sweet potatoes were growing as fast as the corn before, and now the vines from the cuttings had already spread and covered the ground, and she saw that there were too many vines. Remind Wang Lei and the old farmers to cut off a little.
So far, half of the sweet potatoes have been cut twice, and the remaining half is used for yield comparison.
Wang Lei carefully dug up a plant a few days ago and looked at it, saying that sweet potatoes have grown in the ground now.
This means that cuttings are indeed feasible.
Although Xiao Yu had long known that the sweet potatoes in his previous life were grown like this, he was still very happy after hearing the news.
After all, those in the previous life were all excellent varieties that had been carefully selected and bred over a long period of time. Xiao Yu wasn't sure that these corn and sweet potatoes could really be harvested nowadays.
Now after planting, it is found that these corn sweet potatoes actually grow faster and have a higher yield than those of later generations, Xiao Yu has already felt that it is an unexpected joy, and suddenly finds that his imagination is still a little poor.
On this day, Xiao Yu read the notes on sweet potato planting recorded by Wang Lei and remembered something. Asked, "By the way, what about the corn?" Isn't there corn planted now? ”
Wang Lei said: "Because the previous one was on the study case for a long time, the county lord didn't have the leisure to look through it, so he didn't send it over." ”
This sweet potato was also brought by Xiao Yu today.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Previously, because of the treasure house, she accidentally found that the words of her previous life appeared on the jade tablet, and she was surprised, thinking that if this matter was discovered, the consequences would be serious, and she was restless for several days.
Later, there were rumors that he would give marriage to Li Qi, and Xiao Yu didn't have the heart to think about planting corn and sweet potatoes.
Xiao Yuqing coughed and said, "Then Lord Lao Wang brought those over to me to show me, okay?" ”
Wang Lei immediately nodded and went to get it himself.
Although people outside feel that Xiao Yu is just pretending to be farming here. But Wang Lei knew that when she planted corn before, she put forward many details that later proved to be indeed conducive to high yields, which even those experienced old farmers appreciated, saying that the book is different, and it is hard to believe that she has not farmed.
This time the method of planting sweet potato cuttings did not occur to Wang Lei and others at that time.
So Wang Lei is very respectful of Xiao Yu, of course he and a few old farmers don't know that Xiao Yu had planted fields in his previous life, and she had seen these corn and sweet potatoes before.
Xiao Yu casually took a copy and opened it, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked, "Didou?" This peanut was planted too? ”
Wang Lei nodded and said, "Didn't I wait for a few people last time to plant after asking the county lord?" Now the flowers of the beans have gone. Strange as it is, the peanut pods really grow in the dirt, and it won't be long before they can be dug up. ”
Xiao Yu didn't remember such an incident at all, and felt even more embarrassed in his heart, so he immediately pulled out a smile and said: "It is recorded in ancient books that it is called falling peanuts, to the effect that when this flower falls on the ground, it will give birth to fruit in the ground." ”
Wang Lei next to him suddenly said: "I see." ”
In the afternoon, Ling Yan came over.
Because the Xiao family is relatively close to Changle Villa, and Zhong Lang will come over with Hua Yue from time to time to take a walk in the mountains, Ling Yan will now come here to stay here for a few days every three or five days.
At the beginning, Xiao Yu thought that Ling Yan was dignified and graceful, and she didn't look like a general, but now she gradually realized that she was too superficial at that time. In fact, Ling Yan is not only quite lively and cheerful, but also because of following her brother Ling Yi, she has learned a lot of things, and her knowledge is far from being comparable to that of the boudoir lady in the later books.
Xiao Pei made mung bean cakes, asked the maid to send some to Hao Jun and Xiao Yucheng, and brought some to the table in front of several people.
Ling Yan said with a smile: "Sister Pei again, now I am really blessed." ”
Xiao Yu couldn't help but say proudly: "That's right, Sister A's craftsmanship has always been excellent. ”
Xiao Pei next to him smiled a little embarrassedly: "If you like it, eat more, I'm more comfortable with this." ”
Since Xiao Yu returned to Changzhou to recognize his relatives, Qin Guangyu's change of heart has happened, and he has also interacted with those noble and famous girls, feeling those different eyes, Xiao Pei inevitably began to care about the issue of identity, and he was more restrained in his words and actions than before.
Especially thinking of being a servant girl at the beginning, Xiao Pei felt inferior in his heart.
When Xiao Yu heard Xiao Pei say this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Sister is too modest, what kind of cooking skills can't you do with female red food?" And the handwriting is also so good, now Yu Chengke is already a deputy general, and when Sister goes out in the future, there is really no need to put her posture so low. ”
Ling Yan nodded again and again beside him, and said, "I heard from my brother that several people in the army asked him if the eldest girl of the Xiao family was married." ”
Xiao Pei, who was standing next to him, suddenly turned red and said in shame: "Is this also a joke?" ”
Ling Yan immediately said: "Heaven and earth can be learned, I didn't laugh, it's true!" My brother has already told Brother Ling about this. ”
Seeing Xiao Pei lowering his head, his ears were red, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "I don't know what the character and family background of those people are?" ”
Ling Yan smiled: "Then I have to ask my brother carefully." ”
saw Xiao Pei stomp his feet a few times in shame, and ran away with a red face.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Ling Yan couldn't help laughing, and then turned her head and said, "Sister Ah Yu, do you know that there is news now that there are descendants in the Su family of Yue Wang!" (To be continued.) )
