Yes, I used to be anorexic and didn't want to eat, but now I am reluctant to eat, Ah Jin can see it.
So, who said that Akinmu was a bit stupid? All come out, promise not to die.
The king of Chu gave Ah Jin a roll of his eyes, but knew that Ah Jin was right, so he opened the box, opened the oil paper, and looked at the dense pastries inside for the umpteenth time.
This time, the king of Chu finally twisted a piece and ate it, and sure enough, it was not fresh enough, so he ate it one bite at a time with some distress, and he was already thinking about what Shen Qing was doing all night?
Seeing this, Ah Jin breathed a sigh of relief, what are you doing with it? Is it more distressing if it's broken?
The most important thing is that the rush for days is unbearable, but the king of Chu eats very little, so this box of dim sum is simply a life-saving thing.
Ah Jin was so worried that he couldn't wait for Shen Qing to cook food and send it over every day, it didn't matter what the taste was, as long as his master ate it.
He wanted to taste Shen Qingwan's craftsmanship, but he didn't dare to mention it.
When the horse rested, it was not early, and the king of Chu ate half of it unconsciously, and finally felt that his stomach was full.
The two got back on the road and went straight to the granary, but they didn't alarm anyone.
The location of the granary must be guarded by an army, and a force of 500 soldiers is stationed here.
Dismounted from a distance, the King of Chu and Ah Jin took advantage of Shen Se to go up the mountain, looking at the barracks and several big granaries in the valley from top to bottom, which looked like the light of fireflies and towering black shadows under Shen Se.
"Remember, don't alarm anyone, you are on your left, I am on my right, see what is going on in the granary and come back here to meet." King Chu said in a low voice.
"Yes, master." Ah Jin covered the veil.
Both of them were dressed in black Shen Xingyi, and they flashed into the valley like ghosts, avoiding the lazy patrols of the guards, and soon looked at the ten granaries.
One after the other returned to the top of the mountain, neither of them spoke, and they were relieved to run all the way down to the horses.
Pulling down the veil, King Chu's face was very ugly, although he didn't have to ask to know the situation, he still wanted to confirm: "How is the situation over there?" ”
Ah Jin sighed: "There is nothing, only two of the five granaries inspected by his subordinates have a thin layer on the bottom, and the soles of their shoes are not submerged, and the other three are very empty." ”
King Chu sneered: "Sure enough, it's empty." ”
When Shen Qing mentioned it later, the king of Chu believed it, but he always felt that there should be a little left and it would not be empty.
Only now did he know that he had underestimated the courage of these people.
"Master, what now?" Ah Jin also felt that he had seen a lot.
"You need a lot of money to buy food." King Chu frowned: "Take a rest, tomorrow we will enter the city." ”
King Chu and Ah Jin naturally made secret visits in disguise, and there were disguised masters under them, so they naturally learned a few tricks.
Not to mention anything else, it is more than enough to deal with people who have never seen the King of Chu.
Because the Queen Mother was resting, Shen Qing chatted with Jiang Yining and Yi Rongrong for dinner in the evening, and they separated very late.
Just as he was about to go to bed, Amu walked in with a bamboo tube: "Miss, the prince has sent a letter." ”
Shen Qingwan was a little surprised, but she was actually quite concerned in her heart, and several days had passed since she left.
"How?" Shen Qingwan took the bamboo tube, this kind of weight and size is not something that a pigeon can bear at all!
Amu pointed out the window, Shen Qingwan turned his head to look, and found that on the densest tree, there was a black eagle that was not too big.
"The prince is really extravagant!" Shen Qingwan chuckled, he actually used an eagle to send a message? Isn't it overkill?
poured out the letters in the bamboo tube, but found that they were two different letters, one was written by the king of Chu, and the other was from Ah Jin.
After reading it, Shen Qingwan couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder she used an eagle to send a message, it turned out that she had another purpose, so that she could make something with her own hands and bring it back?
This kind of request is naturally played by Ah Jin, the eagle's talons bear quite a lot, and the weight of a little food is simply drizzle.
gave Ah Jin's note to Ah Mu, and Ah Mu was a little sluggish after sweeping his eyes: "It must be Ah Jin's own opinion, Miss is not convenient to use the kitchen at all now." ”
Shen Qingwan chuckled: "The matter in the kitchen is easy to solve." It's just that she was a little puzzled, really she made it with her own hands, and the king of Chu ate it? No anorexia anymore? What's going on here?
Is Bai Shen's method really right?
Amu was stunned: "How to solve it?" ”
Shen Qingwan looked at King Chu's letter, the sentences were concise and to the point, and a lot of things were said on one page.
said that his soldiers were divided into two ways, and he took Ah Jin to secretly visit.
also talked about the situation of their granary, it was empty, even Shen Qing was surprised, it was really ruthless!
"The palace does not restrict everyone from entering and leaving, there is a lively county town not far away, it is not easy to borrow a kitchen?" Shen Qingwan chuckled.
Everyone came to the palace to play, and the emperor did not restrain everyone, but left the warning range, and was responsible for his own safety.
"So?" Amu blinked, and then remembered that there was indeed a county town nearby, so it was convenient to buy from the palace: "In this case, I will be tired of Miss, the prince's anorexia is really serious, if you are out on business, you often don't eat all day long, and when you go out, you will lose a lot of weight, and the queen mother and the queen mother are distressed for a while." ”
Biting his lip, Amu continued: "If the prince is willing to eat what Miss makes, I hope Miss will pay more attention." ”
Shen Qingwan raised his head: "Really?" ”
Amu suddenly knelt at Shen Qingwan's feet: "Miss, since the prince gave the slave to the young lady, the slave and the maid are the young lady's person, and the prince is the husband of the young lady, so the slave and the maid will say so, but the prince is the slave and the maid's life-saving benefactor in the first place, and the slave and the maid can't ignore it." ”
Shen Qingwan was surprised, although Amu said a little messy, she understood.
Amu is telling her that helping the prince speak now is not because he doesn't want to be her person, but because he is a kind of reward for his benefactor.
At the same time, the prince is Shen Qing's future husband, and he should care more.
Amu is thinking about her.
Shen Qingwan chuckled: "I see that you are quite wooden on weekdays, but I didn't expect that this speech is also very comfortable!" Get up, don't worry, I didn't think much of it. ”
"As you said, the prince will be my husband in the future, you are loyal to him, and you recognize me, that is the same. I didn't want you to be my person, completely ignoring the prince. ”
Amu smiled bitterly, he really didn't understand Shen Qingwan's thoughts, is this good or bad?
Ordinary people have subordinates, and they will completely hope that they belong to themselves, even if they are husband and wife.
Shen Qingwan has such low requirements for her, this is because she hasn't treated her as her own yet!
Shen Qingwan glanced at Amu, seemed to know her thoughts, and spread out the clean paper: "Help me sharpen the ink!" I want to reply to the prince, you don't have to think too much, you are good to me, I naturally treat you as my own person, if you want to say partiality, my two girls talk about the king's goodness every day, I suspect that the two girls are the prince's people, how can this be counted? ”
"Since we are both your masters, your loyalty will become, as for one day I have a disagreement with the prince, then I will say that there is no need to affect the daily life for the sake of something that has not yet happened, even if there is, it is a minority after all."
Hearing this, Amu thought it was right, looking at the appearance of the prince and the young lady, how many times can there be a disagreement? It's simply foolish to worry about this before anything happens now, and thus affect your life.
"Yes, slave maid understands." Amu hooked his lips, some thoughts were indeed foolish.
Shen Qingwan nodded, and began to think about what to say to the King of Chu, to say a little about the things in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and to have her opinion on those students.
As for Shen Yijia's plan, the destruction she prepared naturally couldn't be explained, otherwise, she would have to pull a lot of causes and consequences.
I mentioned the matter of the startling horse today, and by the way, I asked the king of Chu to eat well.
Two pages were also written in the air, and Shen Qing was stunned, so it seems that she is quite able to chatter.
The letter was packed and not sent out immediately.
Shen Qing slept in bed at night and got up before dawn.
Shen Qing got up so early, which shocked Xun Han and Amu.
"Xunhan, help me comb my hair simply, I'll go to the nearby county seat with Amu." Shen Qing saw that the two girls were awake and said immediately.
Xun Han didn't ask much, and immediately stepped forward to pull his hair with Shen Qingwan.
When Shen Qingwan took Amu out of the palace, it was still not dawning.
This surprised the captain of the guard.
Shen Qingwan casually gave the captain of the guard a purse: "The brothers of the guards are all working hard, take this bit of silver to eat tea, I heard that the morning market in Licheng is good, I want to go and see it, is it lively?" ”
"Miss walk slowly, it is indeed very lively, you can walk around casually, the morning market is in the south city." The captain of the guard twitched the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and said, but he also put away his purse.
The people guarding this team are the troops who were originally stationed in the palace, and they don't have oil and water on weekdays, so they know a lot about Licheng.
However, he didn't expect that someone would go to the city so early, and it was not yet dawn! This young lady is so positive.
"If the young lady needs it, my subordinates will let someone take you there." The captain of the guard suggested.
They were the guards of this palace, and the guards who followed the emperor belonged to two different camps, and naturally there were some wells that did not interfere with the river water.
However, their local snake is not as good as the strong dragon that came over, so they naturally suffer in the distribution of tasks.
Generally speaking, they need to guard the Shen class, and the masters they meet are not in and out much, and it is very difficult to get rewards.
Shen Qingwan gave them silver, and the captain naturally did his best.
"Wouldn't it be too much trouble?" Shen Qingwan thought about it and said.
I also know a lot about the battles between these soldiers, so Shen Qingwan is more generous this time, maybe she will go out at this time before returning to the capital, and it is good to have a good fate.
"No, there are many forks in the road in the past, and people who are not familiar with the city are easy to get lost. The captain grinned, as if trying to soften his expression, but he was used to it, which made it even more eerie.
Thanks to Shen Qing's previous life, he had marched with King Qin, and when he was separated and wandering alone, he had seen all kinds of people, not only would he not feel terrible, but he would also feel a little cute.
"Then it's trouble!" Shen Qingwan meant this, in fact, she was very familiar with Licheng, and she had been here several times in her previous life.
But she can't show it now, and someone can lead the way and give the team some more silver.
Fair and honest bribery will only make it easier for him to go out in the next month, and Shen Qingwan suddenly has a feeling that he is giving money and has to find a way.
As the name suggests, Licheng is rich in lychees.
There are even large-scale lychee orchards here, and every household in the village has lychee trees, and even some of them are old, and the lychees that produce are particularly sweet.
The soldier named Gou Er took Shen Qing and the two to the morning market, got another purse, and happily ran back to hand it to the captain.
The captain opened it and saw that it was ten taels again, plus the twenty taels just now, and the whole team of twenty people was divided, and one person could get one or two halves, which was worth most of their silver for half a month.
"This young lady is really generous! Blessed are the brothers. The captain grinned again.
"Boss, your smile is very ugly, don't scare the young lady, I inquired, it is Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the concubine of King Chu." Dog Er exclaimed, exaggeratedly.
The captain's expression froze, and he slapped the back of the dog's head: "There is so much nonsense, hurry up and stand up, it's time to change shifts, and then divide the silver." ”
In fact, Shen Qingwan came by calculation, knowing that this team is twenty people, so he has to let the family have enough points!
Recently, the morning market in Licheng has been particularly lively, because it is the season when lychees are ripe.
When I got to the street, I saw that it was full of red and big lychees.
Many merchants began to buy and send them to the capital or other places, and the sound of noisy bargaining abounded.
Shen Qingwan frowned: "Find a restaurant to eat, and then, borrow a small kitchen." ”
Amu was stunned, and then he knew what Shen Qing was doing when he came out late: "Miss, the prince has an industry here, and it is an inn." ”
"Huh?" Shen Qingwan was stunned, and then smiled: "Wouldn't that be better?" Let's hurry over. ”
It's close to the capital, it's even closer to the palace, and it's very useful to get one or two properties here.
As long as there are no special circumstances, the emperor will come here every year for a month or two to escape the summer, and this year is only the month of King Qin, isn't it?
Shen Qingwan followed Amu, but remembered that King Qin also had an industry here, and he was still a green house, so he seemed to know the importance of this place.
Although the imperial court has regulations that officials do not engage in business, let alone princes.
But who doesn't secretly have an estate? Even the emperor and empress are the same.
Even if it's a queen, there is a shop as a dowry, isn't this an industry?
That little money alone is certainly not enough for expenses, and it is not for nothing that officials are easily tempted to go the wrong way.
In order to win the heir, the prince must have a huge expense, how can he make it without some income?
Now counting from the seven princes, there are only two of the first six princes left, and now they are all staying in the fiefdom, and they will not return to Beijing if they have nothing to do, so there is no one to see in the scene of the princes being crowned kings.
The current emperor's body has been traumatized, and there was no child born for a long time in between, not to mention the prince, not even a princess.
Therefore, the age gap between the first six princes and the latter princes is a bit large.
As long as the two princes in the fiefdom don't die by themselves, they can live a peaceful and stable life.
If they hadn't jumped out of their own lives in their previous lives, Shen Qingwan might not even know anyone.
The temptation of that position is too great for few men to bear.
After thinking a lot for a while, Shen Qingwan and Amu came to an endless inn.
Shen Qingwan's eyes narrowed: "This is the prince's industry?" ”
Amu nodded: "Yes, the entire Lingqi Dynasty's Boundless Inn, if nothing else, is occupied by someone, it is all the prince's." ”
"......" Shen Qingwan felt a little turbulent in his heart.
This Boundless Inn really means a lot to her.
It can even be said that it is as heavy as a mountain.
In her previous life, she was separated from King Qin and others, and wandered all the way to a certain place, but the people at the Boundless Inn gave her a bite to eat, and waited until King Qin and others found her.
Later, although she repaid the Boundless Inn, but now that she thinks about it, if that Boundless is also the King of Chu's, then some things in her previous life are probably not as simple and simple as she thought!
In a trance, the person had already entered the private room, Amu had already finished the code with the shopkeeper, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Shen Qingwan in a trance: "Miss...... Miss? ”
"Oh? All negotiated? Shen Qingwan suppressed her mood, and now when she thinks about the things in her previous life, even if there are strange things, she can't verify it, so she can only put it in her heart for the time being.
At this time, it is not the first time that Shen Qingwan is angry at the "stupidity" of his previous life, everything is on the surface, and it is enough to deceive himself.
"Let's talk about it, there is a small courtyard behind the inn, which is prepared for the prince, there is a small kitchen inside, it is very clean, if the young lady wants to use it, just ask to send some ingredients over." Amu was a little strange, why did his own young lady suddenly look a little absent-minded.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Qingwan suppressed the complexity in her heart, because she thought that the industry between the princes, as long as it was not particularly hidden, was tacitly acknowledged by each other, but usually the well water did not interfere with the river water.
Therefore, King Qin should also know that the Boundless Inn belongs to the King of Chu!
No wonder in her previous life, every time she said that she wanted to take care of the Boundless Inn and repay something, King Qin spoke very yin and yang, and she always didn't like it, and she would give her a look on her face for several days in a row.
She has always ignored it when she can't think about it, but now she has a little realization when she thinks about it.
"Okay, you can help me get some materials, it doesn't have to be too much." Shen Qing went to the small kitchen in the small courtyard late, and when he was cooking, his whole mood was soft.
It's not the same as usual, when a pot of white jade eight-treasure porridge is ready and opened, Shen Qingwanxiu's nose moved, and he immediately noticed that the porridge was unusual this time.
Seeing that Shen Qingwan was stunned, Amu thought that he had failed, and immediately comforted: "Miss, do you want to do it again?" ”
Shen Qingwan chuckled: "Amu, you are cold-faced and cold-hearted!" The porridge has been prepared, better than I imagined, I was just an accident, mood and attitude, can really affect the finished product of the food, I used to think that the chef said 'intentions', is an ideal state to fool people. ”
Shen Qingwan's cooking skills were not good at the beginning, it should be said that he was just able to get his hands on it.
Because she has a lot to learn every day, there are not many opportunities to practice her cooking skills.
Then after my mother died, I basically didn't touch it, so naturally it couldn't be any better.
Later, he learned to boil medicine and refine medicine with Bai Shen, and after practicing martial arts, his understanding of fire became more accurate, and his cooking skills improved.
