Chapter 102: I Don't Agree, Old Woman!
There were two ears of millet in the long wooden box, and at a glance, Emperor Jing of Han saw the clues, one of which was clearly much larger than the other.
"This ear you picked is the largest in that acre of field?" Emperor Han Jing put the wooden box into the hands of the Empress Dowager Dou, turned his face and said in a deep voice.
"The slave maid saw with her own eyes that the Dou Mansion family member stood on the field and picked a plant casually, but she didn't pick it, and the slave and maid also took a special look, I'm afraid that those millet ears are similar to this one, and even thicker." Wu Shun replied quickly.
Hearing this, the old Empress Dowager Dou, who had already taken out two ears of wheat and was comparing them with surprise on her face, couldn't help but be moved. "Wu Shun, what you said is true?"
"How dare the slave and maid deceive the queen mother." Wu Shun was so frightened that he hurriedly threw himself into the tunnel.
"It's indeed a little bigger than any auspicious thing the old man has ever seen." After carefully studying it for a long time, Empress Dowager Dou also came to an astonishing conclusion. "I'm afraid it's one acre and five stones, it's really not a boast."
"Yes, the child really didn't expect that he could really cultivate such millet." Emperor Han Jingdi's brows couldn't help but rise, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his eyes stared at the two bunches of corn. "Then since Dou Yan has such ability, why didn't he report it to me at the beginning?"
Princess Xinyang's face couldn't help but change slightly, knowing that her father said such a thing, I was afraid that she was already displeased.
"Emperor, what you said is not right." Mrs. Dou gestured diligently for a long time before she was satisfied and carefully handed over the two bunches of corn to Xinyang, and motioned for her to put them back into the wooden box.
"What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" Emperor Han Jing couldn't help but be stunned, and his gaze took his eyes off the two bunches of corn with difficulty, and fell on the Empress Dowager Dou.
"Didn't the emperor think that my good nephew was too rude, and such a major event would not be reported to the Son of Heaven?" Mrs. Dou reached out and patted his son's big hand, and smiled warmly.
"This ......" Emperor Han Jing couldn't help but groan, but he didn't stay silent for long before he replied with a smile: "Speaking from the heart, the child is not strange, but I think it is a little strange, the yield per mu can get five stones, if all the farmers in the world can be like this, my Han national strength will be prosperous, this merit is in the community, in the court, it is amazing." The child really can't think of any reason for Dou Yan not to ...... this thing," Emperor Han Jingdi's hand pointed at the ears of wheat. "So, the child was quite puzzled."
"Emperor, in fact, the old man thinks that my nephew didn't say it before, and it makes sense." Empress Dowager Dou looked at her eldest son, the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and her face was full of love.
--------------------
"What does the Queen Mother mean by this?" Emperor Han Jing couldn't help but be stunned, and when he heard Empress Dowager Dou's tone, he felt that her answer seemed to be beyond his expectations, but Emperor Han Jing still couldn't figure out why his mother thought so.
"Before you saw this ear of millet, would you believe that one acre of land could produce five stone millet?" Empress Dowager Dou asked rhetorically.
Emperor Han Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of realization, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The child naturally doesn't believe it......"
"If anyone dares to brag so nonsense in front of the old man, what can one acre of land produce five stones." Empress Dowager Dou said with a smile: "Even if it is Dou Yan, a kid who is not diligent in his limbs and does not distinguish between grains, his old body will beat him." ”
"I'm afraid that kid is worried about saying it, afraid that everyone will think he's bragging, so ah, just stuff his head and do things, just thinking that if it doesn't work, no one will pick up his mistakes. Hehehe...... No wonder I came back to the palace a few times ago, and I didn't see this kid mention it. ”
"The child understands everything, and the queen mother has taught her a lesson." Emperor Han Jing nodded, with reverence on his face towards this scheming mother, his father has been in power for more than 20 years, and after ascending the throne for more than ten years, his body began to fail, and the old lady has always been secretly in charge.
Indeed, if Dou Yan's kid dared to make a big fuss in front of him, saying that the yield per mu would be five stones, he might be able to teach him a lesson on the spot, thinking of this, Emperor Han Jing couldn't help laughing, and the slightest displeasure in Dou Yan's heart had already flown out of the clouds.
Empress Dowager Dou patted the back of Emperor Han Jing's hand, and the smile on her face was still so gentle and kind: "But speaking of which, my good nephew is really capable, talented, and understands farming, and knows things, and his temper is much better than his father." In my opinion, this kid is afraid that he will be as good as his father. ”
Hearing this, Princess Xinyang, who had been silent beside her, also had an unconcealable smile and pride on her face, and her heart was also sweet.
"Speaking of which, the queen mother still has a vision, this time to worship Wang Sun as a general, and finally make the rebellion settled, the world is safe, and I have dedicated "Tui En Ce" to the child, which can make my Han Dynasty worry-free for a hundred years." Emperor Han Jing smiled and nodded and replied. "By the way, in a few days, I'm afraid it's time to harvest the grain, and then the child wants to send someone to take a look and see how much he can produce in an acre of land? If this method can be promoted to the world, I am afraid that the period when my Han Dynasty is strong and prosperous can be waited. ”
The old Empress Dowager Dou nodded with a smile and said: "You are the emperor, you should make up your mind about these things, but you have to say it, my good nephew has done so many things that benefit the country and the people, the emperor can't reward less, otherwise, I won't agree to the old woman." ”
"Don't worry, the queen mother, the child will definitely do a good job, after all, if you don't have this great achievement, the people and officials in the world will also complain." Emperor Han Jing smiled and replied, knowing that his mother was very attentive to his grandmother's family. But this time, even if the mother doesn't say it, he will definitely have to give a big reward, first, follow his mother's wishes, and second, Dou Yan is young, he can have such a great talent, if he doesn't generalize, isn't his emperor a fool?
"Father, can my daughter go and see it then?" At this time, Princess Xinyang couldn't help but open her mouth. "My daughter is also very curious, wanting to see what kind of ability Dou Yan has."
"Oh?" Emperor Han Jing looked at his favorite eldest daughter, and couldn't help laughing, speaking of which, among his children, I am afraid that this girl is the most intelligent, and very filial, and deeply favored by the old queen mother, I am afraid that even if it is the prince, in front of the old queen mother, it is not as important as this daughter.
Empress Dowager Dou turned her face and glanced at Xinyang deeply. "Girl, do you really want to go? The old body will be the master for your father, it's okay to go and see, by the way, teach the kid a few words for the old body, such a big thing, and don't leak some news with my wife, the old body is already angry, next time don't take some good things to bribe the old body, see how I clean him up. Empress Dowager Dou pretended to be angry, but she made Xinyang and Hanjing Yanjing laugh, but she knew very well in her heart that she was afraid that the evaluation of the Dou family boy in the old lady's heart had gone to a higher level, and it was very high.
Princess Xinyang saw that her father also nodded, and couldn't help but smile and responded: "Grandma, don't worry, the elder brother of the Dou family will definitely not dare to disobey your old man's will." Dai's eyebrows were raised, her lips were plump and she smiled, and even her eyes were faintly full of shame, and the joy had overflowed her heart and revealed her face. If Dou Yan's hooligan was here, seeing Princess Xinyang's coquettish shame, maybe her saliva would flow out.
--------------------
"This kid has also grown up......" Looking at the light back of Princess Xinyang leaving the main hall of Changle Palace, the corners of Empress Dowager Dou's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. Emperor Han Jing next to him couldn't help but be stunned, looked at his daughter's back, and his eyes fell on the Empress Dowager Dou. "Queen Mother, you are ......"
"Can't you even see that?" Empress Dowager Dou turned her face with a smile: "It's a shame that you are still Xinyang's father." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Han Jing was completely stunned. "Could it be Xinyang, she ......"
"Although my mother's eyes are not good, but I have a lot of numbers in my heart, although this girl doesn't say it, but every time Dou Yan's kid comes to me, she will appear by chance, but this girl really has a vision, and she looks at the old man's favorite good nephew, hehehe......" Empress Dowager Dou laughed heartily.
If Emperor Jing of Han doesn't understand anymore, then he is not Liu Qi, but Liu Er. His eyebrows raised slightly, and he thought of the talented Dou Yan who could talk eloquently in front of him, and showed a meaningful smile. "Originally, the Cao family was interested, and the children were already a little moved, but I didn't expect this girl to have her own thoughts, so this matter will be put on hold for now, and when Wang Sun returns to Chang'an, what does the queen mother think?"
And the old Empress Dowager Dou just smiled and bowed slightly, and didn't say anything. However, Emperor Han Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that his mother was very happy to see such a thing. As for Emperor Han Jingdi's attitude, it was simple.
The Son of Heaven marries a daughter, there are only two purposes, the first is naturally to envelop the courtiers, of course, it must be the kind of high power, or the prestige of the government and the opposition. And the Cao family naturally belongs to the latter.
And Emperor Han Jing was hesitating before, although there were factors opposed by his daughter here, and the other point was that Cao Shou could be regarded as a model and model of the Han Dynasty's nobles and nobles who ate and waited for death, and accepted a concubine at the age of thirteen, as for the age of seventeen, he already had a ten-room concubine, even Emperor Han Jing, who had always been greedy and lustful, did not reach this point back then. Therefore, Emperor Han Jing didn't think much of that Cao Shou, which was another reason for his hesitation.
But now, his daughter is in love with Dou Yan, and his father Dou Ying dedicated "Tui Ence", with the merit of pacifying the Seven Kingdoms, the marquis is certain, and the weight of this marquis must not be light, after such a period of consideration, it is time to reuse the descendants of the descendants who are very valued by their mother.
And Dou Yan's own talent is also quite appreciated by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, at least among the younger generation of noble children, it is really difficult to pick out a talented person, to pick out a person who can have both talent and hard work, I am afraid that until now, it is only Dou Yan.
If he got such a young man to be his son-in-law, it wouldn't be bad, at least Emperor Han Jing felt good.
