Chapter 492: Time Drags on for a Month
Listening to Zhang Xiaobao's words, Wang Juan, who had just returned the vegetables to him, suddenly lowered his head and made no sound.
"Is it less?" Zhang Xiaobao stopped his chopsticks and asked.
Wang Juan still didn't raise his head, but his hair shook slightly, "You wash it a few more times tonight." ”
"Wash what?"
"Wash your stinky body."
"Ahh That's not good, when I finish delivering things, it's okay to narrow the canal, I'll dispatch it, the streets of Chang'an are not wide enough, I asked them not to go out first, take a walk around the house by the way, and solve this problem, and then wait for the engagement to finish, look at me...... Hey, hey, hey, where are you going? ”
"Find a doctor to see you, the illness is not light."
In the eyes of others, the step of Zhang Wang's two families to levy should be the most painful, if they have money, they just throw out a bunch of banknotes, with 10,000 coins written on them, which is enough to show pomp.
Who knows that if there is a problem with Zhang Xiaobao, it will drag on for half a month, and almost every day he takes Xiaobei and others to throw Wang Juan at home and go into the palace to cook for Li Longji.
Something is abnormal, and many people are secretly inquiring, the Zhang family, to be precise, what is Zhang Xiaobao doing?
The people of the clan, who had settled down for a while, began to become impatient again, thinking that it was their pressure that made Zhang Xiaobao dare not easily accept the levy, and quietly colluded, planning to wait for the moment of the levy to cause some trouble to the Zhang and Wang families.
They figured it out, the emperor was unwilling to clean up the two families of Zhang and Wang for them, and in the same way, he would not treat them because of the two families of Zhang Wang, and wanted to keep the well water from the river water, and the two would not help each other.
In this way, a month later, several of the crops brought back from the Americas had already borne seeds.
The people of the clan did not wait for Na Zheng to make trouble, but first waited for the news that some of the seeds were sent to the capital by Shui Yun and Hongluan without their share, and those who participated in the complaint that day did not give a single seed.
Along with the seeds there is also a kind of hat, to be precise, a bib, after all, the hair is long, it is inconvenient to wear a hat, like a circle-like thing, with a hole dug in the front, and a very small electric fan installed in it, with four batteries, can be turned for three or five hours.
In the middle of summer, wearing it on the head and blowing it, don't care if it's cool or not, at least enjoy it better than others, this is a symbol of status.
There were no people from the same clan who complained, and there was one other official above the fifth rank in the capital, and the name was engraved on it to show its importance in the hearts of the two families of King Zhang.
Adults can still tolerate it, and just don't think about it, but two days later, another toy for children to play with appears.
Not surprisingly, the bubble blower, usually someone uses soapy water and a small circle to blow, but the difference is that this bubble blowing does not need to be blown by someone, like a pistol, there is also a fan in the back, and it is important to press the trigger, and one bubble after another will fly out of it, showing gorgeous colors in the sun.
The children of the clan who had sued watched the other children play there, grabbing or demanding, causing countless disputes.
Even if you grab it and can play, it is not sent by Zhang Wang's family, which makes the adult's face unsightly and uncomfortable.
At this time, they realized that they were used to using the things that Zhang and Wang gave for free, and they didn't feel anything, but now they are angry and don't give it, and what they have lost is not just things.
I have heard that for a period of time, the chili peppers that were sent out by boat from Jili Prefecture and dug up the seeds would also go to the capital, and naturally they would not be sold at that time, and the quantity was still small, so they must be distributed to various officials.
Inviting each other to go out, eat, and barbecue, and people with chili noodles sprinkle lightly on the grilled food, how elegant should that action be?
"Lux, I just found out that the things sent by Xiaobao and Juan Juan's house represent identity, no wonder they sell so well, once they are used to it in the same circle, there are no new things, and they are embarrassed to party, you are right?"
In the Hibiscus Garden, Li Longji sat at the table, tasting the spicy chicken that Zhang Xiaobao had just made, and talking to Gao Lishi, who was serving beside him.
Gao Lishi's mouth was not idle, if it weren't for the fact that there was no Qing Garden in Furong Garden, he was afraid that occasionally an official with enough status would come to see the emperor, so he also ate with him, and he must have cleared the garden before, but now the weapons used by the people he protects are different, saving this step, he listened to the emperor's words, and ate the pancakes and fruits that his godson had spread out in his mouth, and the peppers in it were not less.
Spicy sucking, nodding violently, until he swallowed the contents of his mouth, he replied: "As Your Majesty said, after a while, other crops will be better, and the minister is also going to hold a banquet for them to taste, and by next year, there will be more people who can eat, and the yield will be higher than that of rice and noodles." ”
"You have a good son, naturally don't worry, Xiaobao, rest, enough, I promised you to send an army into the city, I also want to see how powerful the army you send to the juanjuan, you spend your own money to circle it, the mountain, I give you as a gift.
I look forward to it, I have never heard of a family that will give away such a thing as you do when it recruits, I can't imagine what kind of scene it will be, Juan Juan is not married to the wrong man, I guess you don't have enough time to prepare, otherwise you won't move the mountains and lakes? ”
Li Longji was also spicy, but he didn't dare to drink water, for fear that he would be full and couldn't eat anything else, so he wiped the spicy snot and said to Zhang Xiaobao, who was still turning a big spoon there.
"Okay, that's it, the last dish, fried corn with green beans." Zhang Xiaobao hooked the gourd, and responded when the pot was raised.
The reason why he came to cook for Li Longji for many days in a row was because he wanted to get the things prepared for Wang Juan to the capital, and it was better to say that the money was paid, and no one would object to transporting it in by car, but there were still a few steps that Li Longji needed to agree, such as bringing in the army under Wang Juan's command, such as borrowing the city wall of the capital.
He wants to give the best to Wang Juan, in addition to spending countless money, he also needs to think hard, and at the same time, it will disturb the people, even so, he feels that it is worth it.
Bringing the last dish to the table, Zhang Xiaobao also spread a pancake fruit for himself and sat next to him to eat.
Li Longji scooped it up with a spoon and tasted it, nodded and said: "It's delicious, Xiaobao, you said that some people can taste it, some people can't taste it, it's okay to say that the low status is good, and the high ones always come to me to complain, and I can't do it, so don't you send one if you should give it?" ”
"It's all there, the rest shouldn't be sent, repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue? After two years, there are enough seeds, and His Majesty will share them with whomever he wants, but now it is too little. Zhang Xiaobao didn't give face at all.
