Chapter 131
Once born and twice ripe, Su Qianyang mentioned it once, and the second time he seemed to be much more logical, in the second half of March, he came to Qixiang Palace more often.
Of course, what did you do with the quilt at night, and the next day Mother Xu and the others came in to clean up the bed, that is, they saw the ruddy on Jiang Ruyin's face.
It's really nothing to live in Qixiang Palace, Jiang Ruyin thought, so she asked Qingdong to make more things that the emperor likes to eat, he comes often, and he knows more about external affairs.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of March, and the three months of filial piety are just a few days away, and the preparations for the general election are almost complete.
The people in Lin'an City who participated in the general election have arrived, and in this year's general election, in addition to the selection of concubines, how many people are coming to the prince's mansion and the second prince, and the people in each palace have also reached the age of marriage, and the selection of concubines is secondary.
Concubine De is busy these days, about the draft, the emperor doesn't know, Jiang Ruyin is simply too lazy to inquire, she doesn't go out, even if she is selected, she is in Qixiang Palace, Zhaoyang Palace will not arrange people to live, it doesn't matter.
Su Qianyang came over at night, Xu's mother just brought the stewed milk soup to Jiang Ruyin, Jiang Ruyin was happy to drink it, but Su Qianyang felt very nasal when she smelled it, Jiang Ruyin beckoned Xu's mother to send in another bowl, and said to Su Qianyang with a smile, "Lin'an is not the coldest in winter, Beitu is even colder, and it is covered with heavy snow for three months of the year. ”
Brought up, Su Qianyang slightly turned his face to avoid the oncoming smell, Jiang Ruyin looked at the sly flashing in his eyes, pointed to the soup and sighed a little, "Usually you can't let them accompany the concubines to eat, it's boring to eat alone, the emperor is here, just accompany the concubines to eat." ”
"Nothing else." Su Qianyang casually picked up the lid on the side and covered it, covering up the strong smell.
Jiang Ruyin nodded, looking at what he said affirmatively, "The concubine has been fond of eating this recently." Seeing him was really embarrassed, "If you don't like to eat, just let it go, and the concubine will let you withdraw." ”
Qingdong, who was serving on the side, wanted to step forward and walk it, Su Qianyang raised his hand to signal that it was not necessary, reopened the lid, and saw that Jiang Ruyin was drinking with relish, a touch of pampering flashed in his eyes, and he picked up a spoon and scooped it into his mouth.
Then, Jiang Ruyin saw Su Qianyang on the other side frowning when he took the first bite, and then he didn't say anything, he quickly finished the milk soup with a few big spoons, elegantly picked up the brocade cloth on the side, wiped his mouth, and spoke, "Prepare tea." ”
Su Qianyang drank a whole cup of tea to dilute the taste in his mouth, and then looked at Jiang Ruyin with a smile, "The taste is stronger, why don't you eat it?" ”
Jiang Ruyin hurriedly lowered her head, a little stunned, this thing is a crime for people who don't like to eat, she just said it, but she didn't expect him to drink it without changing his face.
Seeing the slight shrugging of her shoulders, Su Qianyang knew that she was smiling, the corners of her mouth rose, picked up the cup, and drank another cup of tea
At the beginning of April, the palace election, the queen was still grounded, and during the first examination, the emperor orally said that he was busy with official affairs, so that Concubine De and Concubine Shu would replace him, who would know, he took official business to Qixiang Palace.
He sat there, reviewing the chapters, Jiang Ruyin was reading a book on the side, and there were mulberries in front of the table that he had brought from the imperial dining room in the morning, ripe to a deep black color, very sweet.
Su Qianyang occasionally looked up at her, Jiang Ruyin occasionally sent two mulberries to his mouth, Mother Xu and Qingdong saw it outside, all of them had a happy smile on their faces, how long have they been looking forward to getting along with the emperor and Niangniang like this.
Su Qianyang closed a book, thought about it, picked up another one, and said, "In the rainy season in the south, many places have been flooded. ”
Jiang Ruyin put down the book, "It's not that there is a canal to drain the water. ”
"The terrain is low, the drainage of the canal is useless, the rainy season comes, the water of the river rises, sometimes it is higher than some villages, where should the water be discharged, the river canal was strengthened in the past few years, which avoided the flood, but the grain was soaked in water during the waterlogging, and when the water receded, the planting season passed, and there was not much left in the autumn harvest." The spring ploughing did not go well, and the autumn harvest was greatly affected, and this chain continued, and at the end of the year, there were many hungry people.
Jiang Ruyin had heard her grandfather say that the place in the south, far away from Lin'an City, is hot for at least three seasons of the year, and the people who live there are also mixed, some barbarians have migrated over, and some have migrated from the territory, so there has always been a chaotic situation of improper governance, and it is no wonder that those officials who went there were not familiar with the local folk customs.
But the place to the south is a place of great abundance, the weather is hot, there are many things that can be planted, the rain is abundant, and there are some mineral veins that are not available here, but whoever can go there as an official is enough to stay for three years, and he will definitely come back with a bulging pocket.
Every year, there will be a flood, the officials sent there can't make big ideas, and the local tyrants and overlords are not willing to pay money to deal with it, and they drag on for a year, and when the rain is less, the situation is a little better, and when there is more rain, then wait for the harvest to be blocked after the rain and the situation is riddled with diseases.
A few years ago, a relief point in the imperial court was set up, and there were fewer people in the south who were said to be starving to death, but no matter how big the relief point was, it couldn't bear such a large number of people every year.
Su Qianyang has been having a headache about this for a long time, and there is still a place where taxes are very high, that is to say, the taxes collected by the imperial court every year, the south part, add up to more than half of the north, it is impossible to pull out those local snakes, but if you let it go, Su Qianyang can't stand it.
"If we can have a good relationship with Beitu, why can't we have a relationship with the barbarians." Jiang Ruyin thought for a while and said, "It's chaos in the south, but it seems that for so many years, I haven't heard that the barbarians want to make trouble with us, the reason is first, although the people over there are collectively called the barbarian territory, in fact, there are countless large and small tribes among them, it is not like the northern map has already been unified, so there are not enough troops to fight, and secondly, there are many hills and depressions in the south, the terrain is complex, and there are not many people who are concentrated in gathering, and the scattered people have long been living in different regional cultures, and it is very difficult for these people to integrate." ”
Su Qianyang nodded appreciatively, "That's the case, so for so many years since the establishment of the capital of the Great and Jin Dynasty, there has been chaos there, but there is no sign of war, do you think there are other reasons." ”
"The concubine thought, that's because the barbarians and the people on the other side of the territory are relatively simple." Jiang Ruyin pursed her lips and smiled, "Until now, it is still a tribe, it has not been merged, and the complex terrain has not made them have so much contact with the outside world, compared to the people here, it must be much simpler, although the southern area is chaotic, but there has never been anything particularly big, and the belligerence should not be as strong as the Beitu people, such a person should be easy to satisfy." ”
"What you said is not wrong, in the past, the eighth prince once went to the south to inspect, and the place where the people of my dynasty lived was a little chaotic, and he went deep into the satisfaction and territory, and the tribesmen who lived there were still kind." Su Qianyang asked her to lean on herself more comfortably, picked up a large map on the side, and only showed her, "It's in this area." ”
"The concubine feels that a kind person should respond with kind measures."
Su Qianyang's eyes lit up, and he reached out and gently pinched her nose, "Why didn't I expect it, Yin Yin, you are so smart." ”
The extremely subtle action made Jiang Ruyin's face pale, she lowered her head, Su Qianyang took a piece of paper and quickly wrote down her thoughts, and showed it to her, "I thought, I should be able to do this, and I can improve this waterlogging and chaos situation together." ”
Jiang Ruyin took a look, raised her head and praised sincerely, "The concubine is just a first thought, your emperor, you will definitely be able to do this." ”
I have never seen two people praise each other like this, Su Qianyang was happy, seeing that she was looking up and was about to bow her head to kiss her, Chen Fengyu reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Concubine De is coming over here and wants to come to Qixiang Palace." ”
Jiang Ruyin was stunned for a moment, pushed him and straightened up, "Your Majesty, Concubine De is here." "You've got to get out of here.
How could Su Qianyang not be entangled in his heart, he came to his concubine's side seriously, and now he is like a mouse hiding from a cat, he can't let people know that he is here, and called Chen Feng in, "Where has Concubine De gone?" ”
"It's almost time to arrive at Qixiang Palace, and the palace lady at the door will stop for some time, but the emperor still has to leave first." When the time comes, let others know, especially the Queen Mother, who has nothing to say about the virtuous concubine's personality, and if she is grounded and restless, she can let the emperor come over.
Su Qianyang naturally knew the stakes, and asked Chen Feng to put away the things, and when he turned around, he wanted to explain a few words, but after thinking about it, time waited for no one, and only said, "I'll come over at night." "Stepping out of the house.
Jiang Ruyin followed to the outside of the house, and saw Chen Feng taking the emperor directly from the apse, if she remembered correctly, there was only a small door in the apse, because no one had been in or out for many years, and there were some things piled up at the door, so she quickly asked Zixia and Ziyan to go over to help, and as soon as she turned her head, there was a sound of the door opening, and the figure of Concubine De appeared there.
Concubine De walked over quickly, saw her standing at the door, and smiled, "Why, I know that I have to come, but I can't come out to pick me up." ”
"yes, I'm just thinking that someone is coming outside, so I'm going to come out and see, isn't it a primary today, it's over so early?"
"The emperor chose the concubine, he didn't go, Concubine Shu and I are really tired of watching, it wasn't so fast, this year's batch of show girls don't know what's going on, and they are still trying outside the palace for the first time, and there are people who wear small feet to make a stumbling block first."
Jiang Ruyin glanced towards the apse and pulled Concubine De, "Go in and say." ”
