Zhan Shixiu was dumbfounded when asked, these words taught Zhan Hongjiao to nod, this niece, she has always been not mistaken, she is as smart as her mother, not to mention, she has been in charge of the family for more than three years, and she has become more and more experienced in wisdom and age, even if she becomes the wife of a big family in the future, she will not suffer.

"Grandfather is traveling, not playing!" Zhan Shixiu thought about it, and felt that his eldest granddaughter had not figured out what the concept of travel was.

"You don't need these to play, just bring enough silver taels to go into battle, grandfather to travel, most of them have to go to remote villages, mountain villages, waters, etc., these things are not prepared, grandfather will have a hard time in the future."

Gao Xiangye retorted in a slow voice, there is no place to use the silver, and this is what he said.

"Ye'er is right!" Zhan Hongjiao and Qiu Atai spoke in unison.

Zhan Shixiu was silent.

He really hadn't thought about these questions.

He just thought, just bring some salutes, take two people, and leave as soon as he said. Let's go out first.

Gao Xiangye understood her grandfather's thoughts, she was speechless, she said she would go, and she didn't bring anything, it was a bag to move in, not a trip! I remember that my mother once said that a person, in order to complete a work, traveled intermittently for 40 years, and the most difficult time in the middle was to sleep in the deep mountains and old forests, and eat wild vegetables and wild grasses......

After being silent for a long time, Zhan Shixiu nodded, agreeing with Gao Xiangye's words.

The rest of the time, everyone didn't do anything, just waiting for leisurely news.

Zhan Jinyuan gradually understood that his grandfather wanted to go out to play, not because he didn't want them, and the previous heartache suddenly disappeared, and he put his arm around Zhan Shixiu's neck and said straightly: "Grandfather, I also want to travel with you!" ”

Burst......

Zhan Hongjiao and the others really couldn't hold back. Laughing non-stop, stinky boy, Mao'er has to travel before he starts to grow, do you know what travel is?

With this laughter, the previous unpleasant atmosphere disappeared, and everyone began to tease Zhan Jinyuan.

Half an hour later, he walked over leisurely with Qin and Zhan Jinrui. The people in the pavilion were nervous.

Qin's eyes were red. Slowly walked in front of Zhan Shixiu, his demeanor was downright and generous, and he was like two people before. I only heard her say: "Master, if you want to travel, the concubine will not stop you, but the concubine has one condition." I hope you will go out for the first time and return in no more than half a year. One comes. You are familiar with the way, and secondly, let us get used to it. ”

Is this promised?

Zhan Shixiu was overjoyed and nodded again and again. "Good, good! I promise you, this time I go out, I will come back within half a year. ”

Everyone was happy.

Zhan Hongjiao looked at the leisurely eyes and admired it even more. She knew anything. At her sister-in-law's place, it's not a problem.

The whole family mobilized, and each performed their duties to prepare for Zhan Shixiu.

For the sake of the Qin family's promise, Zhan Shixiu did not shirk it, and his family asked him to bring whatever he wanted, it was nothing more than a few more people and two more carriages.

But later, when he really set out on the journey, he realized that none of the things that his family had prepared for him were superfluous.

I am grateful in my heart, this is a later story.

Three days later, at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, everyone saw off Zhan Shixiu.

Before leaving, Yin Qinghui brought dozens of people and handed a token to Zhan Shixiu.

You can recognize that those people are the elite of the Bird Pavilion.

When you go out, you are the second to suffer and suffer, the most important thing is personal safety, the two mansions are favored by the emperor, I don't know how many people are greedy, now Zhan Shixiu has no official position, and he wants to go out again, and he can understand with his toes, designate someone to be restless, kill Zhan Shixiu, and the Guogong Mansion will be taken over by the seven-year-old Zhan Lanqi, a seven-year-old little doll, it is still a problem to grow up, and the designation will greatly weaken the power of the Dingguo Mansion.

Zhan Shixiu knew that these people were all masters around his son, and he also understood the potential risks of his trip this time, so he didn't shirk it, took the token and went on the road.

The Qin family couldn't cry, and they were almost in tears.

After being married for so many years, she followed Zhan Shixiu wherever she went, this was the first time that the two had separated.

In the spring of the fourth year of Renxing, Zhan Shixiu set out from the capital and went all the way south, along the Ru River Valley, passing through the land of Gyeonggi and the prefectures and counties of Jiangzhou, and reached the south of Jiangzhou at the farthest point, approaching Namanju. The main items investigated are water changes and specific transitions to crops.

Before Zhan Shixiu left, he promised that the Qin clan would return within half a year, but in the middle of winter this year, the people of the two provinces looked forward to the stars and the moon, and only then did they receive the news that Zhan Shixiu had returned home.

At that moment, the Qin clan really regretted it.

She shouldn't have listened to leisurely words.

Up to now, many people are puzzled about what Youran said to the Qin family at that time, which made her attitude suddenly turn a hundred and eighty degrees.

I remember that day I leisurely pulled her into the inner room and said earnestly: "Mother is making trouble like this, in addition to dissipating the relationship between you and your father, is there any benefit?" Hengzhi's father has resigned, don't you let him go out, just hope that he stays at home every day and does nothing? ”

After hearing this, Qin Shi felt aggrieved, and a faint voice in her heart told her that she couldn't keep Zhan Shixiu, and the reason why she made such a fuss was nothing more than to tell Zhan Shixiu how much she didn't want him to leave, in the final analysis, all she wanted was Zhan Shixiu's care and comfort.

I later figured out the meaning of this layer leisurely.

At that time, I was stunned, and then sighed: "What I said next may be cruel, making my mother sad and angry, but I still have to say it." In my father's life, in addition to being patient, gentle, and considerate to his wife, I probably can't pretend to be someone else in my heart. ”

Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he could hear the crackling sound of his heart crackling.

I didn't cry anymore, I was really stunned and forgot everything.

The yuan wife in leisurely mouth refers to Yin Qinghui's mother.

After marrying Zhan Shixiu for many years, whenever the Qin family tried to mention her, Zhan Shixiu was either silent or evaded. Now when I hear you say this, my heart is like ashes.

Qin thought that in this life, she would probably never be able to pass the woman who left this world more than ten years ago.

So what am I still trying for?

Qin was silent, but he burst into tears.

Seeing this appearance, the Qin clan leisurely felt that his goal had been achieved. People like the Qin family are not smart. It's very easy to think about problems, and sometimes you even know that this matter is not good for you, but you still stride forward with your eyes open, and finally make yourself scarred, why bother?

The excitement was almost there, and he said leisurely: "The way husband and wife get along is probably that you chase me." Or I'm rushing you. How many of those who are really side by side in the world? One person is always chasing after another, and one day he will be tired. Why didn't the mother let go once, not for others, but only for herself. ”

Afraid that the Qin clan would not understand, he said, "As the saying goes." Distance produces beauty, and small farewells are newlyweds. Father has always been accustomed to relying on you, and if he leaves your care suddenly, he will be very, very unaccustomed to it. Maybe you will miss your mother, there is such an opportunity, why don't you seize it? ”

The Qin clan really didn't understand what he said in the previous paragraph. But she understood it later, and suddenly felt that it was a good idea. You can give it a try.

So, there is a later statement.

But now, in the middle of winter, Zhan Shixiu has been wandering outside for nearly a year, and the Qin family is anxious.

She can be regarded as understanding the first paragraph of Youran's original words, husband and wife get along, but one person runs in front and the other chases behind, and she is destined to be the one who chases Zhan Shixiu in this life.

It's been a year apart, Zhan Shixiu doesn't want to think about her, she doesn't know, but she can't think about it in her heart.

Since hearing the news that Zhan Shixiu was coming back, the Qin family was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights.

At the end of the year, Zhan Shixiu finally arrived home.

The beard was unkempt, the whole was thin and black, and the hands were not as white and smooth as before, the Qin family ignored the presence of the maid and the mother-in-law, and immediately hugged Zhan Shixiu and cried.

Zhan Shixiu didn't move, hugged Qin and let him cry.

Later, he said, "I didn't realize anything at first, but I realized that it was better to have you by my side when I left." ”

Qin Shi cried even more fiercely after hearing this, and at that moment she felt that if she could hear such a sentence from Zhan Shixiu's mouth, her life would be complete.

……

In the spring of the fifth year of Renxing, Zhan Shixiu set off again, this time with the Qin family. The second trip lasted a year and a half, and the furthest point reached the southern Xinjiang region.

In the spring of the seventh year of Renxing, Zhan Shixiu traveled three times, this time with many important members of the Dasi Agricultural Department, and with the support of Emperor Renxing, it was a publicly-funded trip. The Qin family didn't follow this time because Youran was pregnant again.

In the autumn of the seventh year of Renxing, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses were born leisurely. A gust of wind quickly blew in Kyori. The Qiu family has a secret recipe and a tradition of conceiving twins.

Immediately, the sisters Gao Xiangye and Gao Xiangcao, who were close to the marriage but had not yet been decided, suddenly became the object of competition among the families in the capital.

Be the center of attention wherever you go.

In the spring of the eighth year of Renxing, Zhan Shixiu set off again, this time the team was larger and lasted longer, and he returned after three years. After such a long time, the Qin clan has a deeper understanding of Zhan Shixiu's behavior, except for worrying about Zhan Shixiu's body, the rest is fully supported.

When the Qin clan was preparing for Zhan Shixiu's fifth outfit, Zhan Shixiu waved his hand gently, and his journey in this life had come to an end.

Over the years, he has recorded too many information on waters, crops, soils, and other related aspects, and what is most needed now is systematic collation and experimentation.

Qin laughed heartily, unable to help himself.

"Old thing, there are times when you can't walk!" Zhan Shixiu, who is already forty-five, has long been accustomed to the Qin family's interjection, and when he heard the Qin family make fun of him, he just smiled mildly and drank the soup and tea brought by the Qin family.

Qin Shi held the empty bowl and sang softly, walking all the way quickly.

One day in the twelfth year of Renxing, there was a sudden exclamation in Zhan Shixiu's study, followed by laughter, this phenomenon is very similar to the precursor of a person's madness, the stewards and the little servants suddenly rushed in, only to see Zhan Shixiu laughing uncontrollably, slapping the table and shouting: "Go and call Ah Ran!" Go, go, go!! ”

Several people fled in a hurry and ran to the Hou Mansion.

At this time, Youran was sitting in the sun combing her four-year-old daughter's hair.

Coincidentally, today is very lively, not only Zhan Hongjiao took a pair of children back to live in the mansion, but even the two sisters Gao Xiangye and Gao Xiangxiang also came back.

Two years ago, when the two girls were seventeen years old, they got married one after the other, and the eldest Gao Xiangye married the great-nephew of the Empress Dowager, Xu Yijian, the eldest son and grandson of the Xu family, and became a veritable clan wife.

Gao Xiangcao and Zhou Hong have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, three months after Gao Xiangye got married, she also sent her second child out of the house, at that time Zhou Hong had a good reading and had been admitted as a tribute. Just wait for the next game and join Hanlin.

Gao Xiangye married to the Xu family, gave birth to a boy in the first year, and is now just two years old, as for Gao Xiangye, there has been no movement for two years after marriage, and she was diagnosed as pregnant three months ago.

As for the leisurely twin brothers, the eldest Zhan Jinrui will take over his father Yin Qinghui's class in the future, so he follows his uncle Zhan Lanqi to honestly learn the skills of housekeeping and life. The second eldest Zhan Jinyuan went out to apprentice two years ago, preparing to take the road of imperial examinations in the future.

I went home for vacation a month ago, and now I am sitting in the sun, leisurely, teasing the sixth Zhan Jinxuan.

Qin teased that, talking about this, a group of big and small people circled around her, and they didn't close their mouths all morning.

Such a quiet and peaceful scene, the blissful realm of life, was interrupted by Zhan Shixiu like this.

Everyone watched the situation of the little guy, they were all bluffed, they got up leisurely, walked like flying towards the Guogong Mansion, just ran halfway, and suddenly saw Zhan Shixiu running strongly.

While running, he said excitedly: "Ah Ran, I have found a way for my father to increase rice production!" Really found it! ”

"What's the method?"

Zhan Shixiu crackled a lot, and his face became darker and darker, if he hadn't known it for many years, he would have thought that Zhan Shixiu had also traveled from modern times.

This method of hybrid rice made him dare not be too advanced.

"If it succeeds in the future, I will definitely give it a name, which is mixed rice."

Mixed rice is indeed quite in line with this elegant era.

Nodding leisurely, he said: "Don't hide it from my father, I have had such an idea since a year ago, and I am brewing it, and I haven't had time to discuss it with my father yet." ”

"Really?" Zhan Shixiu was startled, then laughed, and a sense of pride that a hero had seen soared into the sky.

In the days that followed, the father and daughter began to work on the cultivation experiment of greenhouse mixed rice, and the people of the two prefectures had long been accustomed to such phenomena and did not take it seriously.

The matter of clinker reached the ears of Emperor Renxing, and immediately caused an uproar in the court.

After the next dynasty, Emperor Renxing took the brigade of the Dasi Agricultural Office and rushed to the Guogong Mansion.

The father-daughter experiment has achieved good results, but due to various conditions, it can only be said that the results are limited.

But it was enough to shock the Manchu dynasty.

It is clear to everyone how low the yield of crops in this era is, and the only way to increase production is to clear more wasteland, increase the population, and reduce war.

But what does it mean if yields can be increased in the future?

After returning to the palace, Emperor Renxing immediately allocated funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs to fully support Dingguo Gong's research that benefited the country and the people. Thinking about whether to give him some more honorary awards as encouragement, he suddenly felt that the Duke of Dingguo had reached the top, and he would be the prince again, but there was no precedent for a king with a different surname in this dynasty.

In order to balance the court situation, Emperor Renxing thought about it again and again, and suddenly thought that he could reward the imperial sister!

immediately made a holy decree and canonized Youran as Princess Anle, just a pair with Anle Hou.

When the Empress Dowager Dexin heard the news, she was so happy that she almost jumped, Ah Ran called Brother Qian'er, wouldn't that call her the queen mother? Oh, after waiting for so many years, I finally found such an opportunity, which is really sad and joyful!

So, the Empress Dowager Dexin couldn't wait for a moment, so she casually found a reason to leave the palace and go to the Anle Hou Mansion......
