Chapter 160: Potatoes (Medium)

Although there are many maids and chamberlains in the hall, no one dares to make any noise, even the little chamberlain who sends the fold is light-handed, for fear of interrupting Liu E's train of thought.

But at this moment, there was a whispering sound in the apse, although the sound was not loud, but because the hall was too quiet, it still reached Liu E's ears, which made her frown slightly, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang, two guys, were probing their brains behind a pillar in the apse, it seemed that something was going on?

"What are you two sneaking around?" When Liu E saw them, she immediately put down the brush in her hand, and then she noticed that the sun was setting outside, and it seemed that the class had already finished in Zishantang.

Seeing that Liu E had discovered it, Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen also walked out a little embarrassed, and then Zhao Zhen looked at Li Zhang, as if he wanted him to say it first, Li Zhang also knew that Zhao Zhen was unreliable in front of Liu E, so he could only step forward and say: "Aunt Qi, we actually came here today to send you an invitation!" ”

"Invitation? This is new, I have been in the palace for so many years, and it is the first time I have received an invitation! Liu E couldn't help but show a surprised expression when she heard this, she is the queen, and she really doesn't dare to send her invitations, of course, the most important thing is that she can't go out of the palace easily, let alone contact outsiders casually.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that a new crop I planted has been harvested, and this kind of crop is only available to me in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and it tastes quite good, so I want to invite the eldest lady to taste it!" At this time, Li Zhang smiled and took out an invitation from his arms and put it in front of Liu E.

"Oh, a new crop?" Liu E was also stunned when she heard Li Zhang's words, and then asked a little puzzled, "It's just a new crop, can't you just send it to the palace after harvesting, why do you want me to run it myself?" ”

The main crops of the Great Song Dynasty are wheat and rice, but in addition, there are crops such as millet and sorghum, as well as some special crops that are only grown in small places, so Liu E doesn't care about this, just as a novel food, there is no need to run it herself.

"Qiyu Auntie, this new crop is a bit special, and I haven't harvested it yet, tomorrow is the tenth day, I also plan to take advantage of tomorrow's time to harvest these crops myself, the prince has never seen the harvest, so I also want to take a look, but the prince is inconvenient to go out of the palace, so ......" Li Zhang said at the end, and also smiled cheekily at Liu E, the meaning was already very clear.

"Hehe, it's been a long time since Zhen'er wanted to go, so you invited me by the way?" Liu E finally understood what Li Zhang meant when she heard this, and she couldn't help but smile at the moment.

"Big lady, I'm ...... I really wanted to go to my cousin's place, and I had never been to his house since I moved from him, and my cousin said that the crops he grew were delicious, so I wanted to try them too! Zhao Zhen also plucked up the courage to say at this time, perhaps under the influence of Li Zhang, he is now a little bolder, although he is still afraid of Liu E, but at least he dares to express his thoughts.

"The eldest lady, in fact, the prince is also a filial piety, during this time he has been saying that the eldest lady is heartbroken for His Majesty and state affairs, and he has to be busy until midnight every day to rest, so he has been worried about the body of the eldest lady, this time I also want to take this opportunity to invite the eldest lady to go out for a walk, from a doctor's point of view, the eldest lady sits here every day to review the folds, and it is indeed not good for the body!" Li Zhang also spoke again at this time to persuade.

As the queen, Liu E can naturally distinguish that Li Zhang's last words are their real purpose, which makes her feel hot in her heart, being so cared about by the two juniors also makes her quite happy, plus she is indeed too tired during this time, so I saw that she thought about it for a moment and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then I will take Zhen'er to your house tomorrow, and you won't let us down!" ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a big surprise for you!" Li Zhang was overjoyed when he saw Liu E agree.

In fact, Li Zhang's real purpose of inviting Liu E is for potatoes, he has dug out one yesterday, and found that the yield of potatoes is very surprising, there are seven or eight potatoes hanging under a potato, adding up to five or six catties, and he tasted one yesterday and found that the taste is quite good, so he decided to ask Liu E and Zhao Zhen to dig potatoes in person, only when they see the yield of potatoes with their own eyes, they will really pay attention to potatoes.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang wanted to take advantage of the ten-day to sleep lazily, but he didn't expect Liu E and Zhao Zhen to come so early, and he had to get up early, but when he came to the front yard, he found that Liu E and Zhao Zhen were looking at his mansion with interest.

"See the big lady!" Li Zhang immediately walked forward quickly and saluted.

"No need to be polite, although this mansion was given to you by His Majesty, but it is the first time we have come, you can take us around, and let someone prepare some breakfast!" Liu E said with a smile at the moment, she actually didn't want to come so early, but Zhao Zhen ran to wait outside her dormitory before dawn, and in desperation, she could only leave the palace early, and now she didn't even have time to eat breakfast.

Li Zhang also agreed when he heard this, and it just so happened that he didn't eat, so he asked Xiuxiu to prepare, and he took Liu E's mother and son to visit his home, and by the way, he also met his family, but Li Yonghe was also shocked when he saw Liu E's mother and son, because Li Zhang didn't discuss it with him at all yesterday, and he didn't know that Liu E's mother and son were coming.

However, Liu E didn't like Li Yonghe very much, and let him leave after seeing the other party, but he smiled a little when he saw the raccoon, and even rewarded a few gifts brought by the palace, Zhao Zhen also brought gifts to the raccoon, which made the raccoon very happy, but it may be that Liu E's aura is too strong, and the raccoon dog also ran away after thanking Liu E's mother and son.

After a rough turn, Li Zhang accompanied Liu E's mother and son to have breakfast again, and then wanted to take them to dig potatoes, but he didn't expect Liu E to suddenly say at this time: "Da Lang, isn't that Yan Niang here with you, take me to see!" ”

Hearing that Liu E was going to see Yan Niang, Li Zhang was also a little surprised, but before he could speak, Zhao Zhen next to him asked very curiously: "Who is Yan Niang?" ”

Li Zhang didn't tell Zhao Zhen that the princess of Liaoguo was in his house, and he naturally didn't know who Yan Niang was, at this time Li Zhang looked at Liu E, but the other party looked like he didn't care about anything, and he could only explain vaguely in desperation: "Yan Niang is a relative of mine." ”

"Let's go!" Liu E didn't say anything about Li Zhang's explanation, but instructed again, it seemed that she was determined to see Yan Niang, which made Li Zhang have no choice, so he had to take them to the courtyard where Yan Niang lived in person.

Since the Liao delegation left, Yan Niang has more freedom, generally as long as she doesn't leave the house, Li Zhang will not care about her, and since Li Zhang took away her Yingluo, Yan Niang has also begun to eat and drink in Li Zhang's house with peace of mind, and she is usually very lazy, even lazier than Li Zhang, usually she should not get up at this time.

Sure enough, when Li Zhang took Liu E's mother and son to Yan Niang's yard, Yan Niang in the room hadn't gotten up yet, until Li Zhang knocked on the courtyard door for a long time, only to see Yan Niang open the courtyard door unkempt, glanced at Li Zhang, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's nothing, I have an elder coming over, I heard that there is an extra person in the family, so I will come and see!" Li Zhang pointed to Liu E behind him, but he did not introduce Liu E's identity because it was not necessary.

Yan Niang only found Liu E's mother and son at this time, rubbed her eyes and looked at them at the moment, and then said with a look of disgrace: "Have you seen enough, I'll close the door when I've seen enough!" ”

Yan Niang closed the door with a "bang", no matter how Li Zhang knocked on the door, she didn't open it, which made Li Zhang a little helpless, in fact, since Yan Niang lived in Li Zhang's house, she was not allowed to go out, so she became more and more depraved day by day, according to Xiuxiu, Yan Niang's boudoir as a girl was also a mess, and she didn't even want to wash her clothes.

"Hehe, that's fun!" Liu E was not angry at Yan Niang's rudeness, but smiled calmly, and then turned around and left.

"Cousin, who is this woman, she looks very beautiful, why is she so sloppy?" Zhao Zhen seemed to be very interested in Yan Niang, and secretly pulled Li Zhang behind at the moment and asked, it is estimated that it is the first time he has seen such a sloppy woman as Yan Niang, after all, the rules in the palace are big, even the small palace maid will have requirements for grooming, and she must not be sloppy at all.

"Didn't I just say it, a relative, but her father doesn't want her anymore, so she can only live with me!" Li Zhang explained vaguely again.

"What kind of parents don't even want their own daughters, it's too much, but this woman is really pitiful, cousin, you can persuade her more, don't be so sloppy anymore!" Zhao Zhen was very kind, and at this time he actually persuaded Li Zhang.

"Got it, let's go to my yard and have a look, the new crop I'm talking about is there!" Li Zhang didn't want to discuss Yan Niang's matter anymore, so he casually agreed a few words, and then turned the topic to Tudou.

"Let's go, let's see what's new about that new crop you're talking about?" At this time, Liu E in front also heard Li Zhang's words, and immediately turned his head to speak, Li Zhang immediately agreed, and then took their mother and son to the courtyard where he lived, and on the right side of the courtyard, several rows of potatoes were also planted there with leaves.
