Chapter 13 The Gambling Game That Must Be Won (Ask for Recommended Collection)
After yesterday's heavy rain, there was a rare sunny day today, the sun peeking out of the clouds scattered a scorching light, bringing a long-lost warmth and dryness to the wet earth, and the people on the earth also took advantage of this rare sunny day to start busy, farmers went to work in the fields, merchants opened their doors to do business, women were busy drying clothes and bedding and so on.
Guangyang County Wangfu is also busy, there are many rooms in the palace, and the furniture in the room is naturally decorated, before a month of rain, has made some utensils a little damp, and if you don't dry it, I'm afraid it will be moldy and deformed, so take advantage of this rare sunny day, the people in the whole palace have begun to move things to the open space outside.
Cao Ying is the princess of the county, it is said that this is the time when she commands everyone to be busy, and through this kind of activity, she can also stabilize her position as the mistress of the palace, so that the people of the palace are used to obeying her orders. But since yesterday, Cao Ying has been very upset, and she has been thinking about Zhao Yan's affairs in her heart, so she is not in the mood to direct the people in the palace to be busy, but just let the nurse and a few other housekeepers and mothers-in-law command for herself.
It is good for a person to be smart, because a smart person will give a detailed consideration to this matter before doing it, so as to avoid making too many mistakes when doing things. But being smart is also a bad thing, because smart people tend to think things too well and even complicate simple things.
Cao Ying is a smart woman, and she will also make some common mistakes of smart people, such as she was very puzzled about why Zhao Yan had such a big change before and after, Xiao Dou Sprouts went directly to Zhao Yan to ask, but Cao Ying refused Xiao Dou Sprouts' mention after thinking about it for a long time, because she felt that Zhao Yan would definitely not sue herself lightly.
It's a pity that Cao Ying doesn't know, in fact, Zhao Yan is most afraid that others will see the problem that he is too different before and after, and even he has already thought of a pretext, if Cao Ying really asks him, Zhao Yan will definitely immediately tell her the pretext that he has made, and then pass it out through Cao Ying's mouth, although this excuse is a bit ridiculous, but it can explain the changes in him, of course, he will definitely not tell the things that he has traveled from the afterlife.
Cao Ying was bored in her heart, and it was even more uncomfortable to stay in the house, so taking advantage of the rare sunshine now, she took the maid to look for snow and walk around the inner house at will, and at the same time could supervise those maids and women not to be lazy.
Unconsciously, Cao Ying came to Zhao Yan's room by herself, if it wasn't necessary before, she would never have approached Zhao Yan's room, today she may be thinking about Zhao Yan's affairs, and finally came here involuntarily, which made Cao Ying a little entangled in her heart, not knowing if she should go in?
"Huh? What a rare guest, why do you have time to come to me today? When Cao Ying was struggling in her heart, she suddenly heard Zhao Yan's voice from behind, and there was a bit of banter in her tone.
Cao Ying panicked in her heart, but soon regained her calm, turned to look at Zhao Yan with a cold face and said, "It's sunny, I'm just here to remind the little bean sprouts not to forget to take out the things in the room and dry them, so as not to have bugs!" ”
"That's up to you!" Zhao Yan raised the wooden box in his hand and went straight into the house. Taking advantage of today's rare sunny day, he also has some very important things to do.
Since she was seen by Zhao Yan, Cao Ying also dispelled the idea of leaving, and followed Zhao Yan into the room, but as soon as she came in, she saw Xiao Bean Sprouts lying on the table in the living room, counting "One hundred and thirty-one, one hundred and thirty-two, one hundred and thirty-three......
"Little bean sprouts, what are you doing, why don't you take out the things in the room and dry them?" Cao Ying was reluctant to talk to Zhao Yan, so she walked to the side of the little bean sprout and said deliberately.
"Fourth sister?" Little Bean Sprouts' head had already taken up most of it, but now when she heard Cao Ying's words, she immediately raised her head and looked at her a little confused, followed by a scream, "Ah, I forgot where to count again, now I have to start from scratch again." ”
After Xiao Bean Sprouts finished speaking, her face also showed a look of chagrin, originally the county king only gave her such a very simple task, but she had counted for almost an hour, but she had not been able to count the number of seeds. This is only when Cao Ying appeared, the small bean sprouts turned out to be some unknown seeds, which looked very beautiful on the outside, about the same size as soybeans, but not as round as soybeans, but somewhat flattened, such seeds Cao Ying also saw for the first time.
"Little bean sprouts, what kind of seeds are these?" Cao Ying reached out and grabbed a few seeds and asked.
"The king of the county said that this is called corn, and the whole Great Song Dynasty only has these in front of me, and the king of the county asked me to count the seeds of corn, but I didn't count them for a long time!" When the little bean sprouts said the end, they once again showed a look of annoyance.
"Little bean sprouts, don't talk patronisterily, if you can't count the corn, go find some sand, fill this box to the brim, and preferably river sand!" Zhao Yan walked over with the box at this time and said, he had tried it just now, this box was just right, and now he needed to fill the box with sand.
"Oh, I'll go now!" The little bean sprouts were really big by these corn kernels, and when she heard that she didn't need to count the corn, she immediately agreed and ran away, but only Zhao Yan and Cao Ying were left in the room, and there was also the little maid Mi Xue.
"What is corn, and why do you ask the sprouts to count the number of corn kernels?" Cao Ying turned to Zhao Yan's question, if it was in the past, she wouldn't care about what Zhao Yan did at all, but since the huge changes in her body that Zhao Yan had born, it had made her a little curious about Zhao Yan, and her intuition told her that Zhao Yan must be doing something very important.
Hearing Cao Ying's question, Zhao Yan also glanced at her with some surprise, but finally replied: "Corn is a grain crop, similar to wheat, soybeans, and rice, but the yield of corn is very high, it is said that the highest yield per mu can reach more than 2,000 catties, of course, that requires special care, the general corn is not so high, it is estimated that there can be seven or eight hundred catties per mu." ”
"The highest yield per mu is more than 2,000 catties? Generally, it can reach seven or eight hundred catties? Cao Ying heard Zhao Yan's words, but said with a sneer, "His Royal Highness the King of the County is really open-mouthed, do you know what the grain yield per mu of the Great Song Dynasty is?" ”
Zhao Yan heard the sarcasm in Cao Ying's words, and it seemed that she didn't believe her words at all, but he didn't get angry, but asked indifferently: "I really don't know the yield per mu of grain in the Great Song Dynasty, do you know it, the princess?" ”
Zhao Yan felt that Cao Ying was born extremely wealthy, and he was afraid that he had never been in contact with Nongsang at all, so he asked so. However, he miscalculated this time, only to see Cao Ying sneered again and said: "The climate in the south of my Great Song Dynasty is different from that in the north, and the crops planted are also different, among which rice is planted in the south, and the yield per mu is slightly higher, but the yield per mu is less than 400 catties, and the north mainly grows wheat and soybeans, and the yield per mu is only more than 200 catties. ”
Cao Ying was very angry, and even faintly heartache, originally she thought that after Zhao Yan was struck by lightning, she really changed her ways, and she was no longer the reckless Zhao Yan she used to be, but she didn't expect that the other party was still deceiving herself, although she didn't know Zhao Yan's purpose of deceiving herself, but she must not be at ease.
Hearing Cao Ying's words, Zhao Yan didn't plan to argue with her, and he also knew that it was useless to say anything now, Cao Ying wouldn't believe it at all, so instead of explaining, he took out the sweet potato from his arms and said with a smile: "What is the yield of 1,000 catties per mu, this thing in my hand is called sweet potato, if it is planted in the ground in the spring for a year, the yield per mu can reach up to 7,000 catties, even if it is planted for half a year, the yield per mu can reach 5,000 catties, and the yield of ordinary people to plant may not be so high, But the output of two or three thousand catties is still very easy! ”
"Tell the truth!" Cao Ying's hope for Zhao Yan has finally disappeared completely, in her opinion, Zhao Yan is not only a ** person, but also full of nonsense, he can't believe anything that comes out of his mouth, thinking of this, Cao Ying feels that there is no need to stay here anymore, and she is about to leave.
"Wait! I know you don't believe it, but do you dare to make a bet with me? Zhao Yan saw Cao Ying turn around to leave, but suddenly stopped the other party with a smile and said, he is absolutely confident in the yield of corn and sweet potatoes, since this is the case, it is better to take this opportunity to win some benefits for himself.
"What do you want to bet?" Cao Ying heard that Zhao Yan was going to make a bet, and couldn't help but stop and said, don't look at her now that she has the right to supervise Zhao Yan, but when Zhao Yan's body recovers, the entire palace will still be Zhao Yan's final say.
"Everyone is a smart person, I know you don't want to marry me, and even hate me very much, now I'll give you a chance, if the corn and sweet potatoes can't reach the yield I said today, then I will give you freedom in the future, and I won't touch you for the rest of your life, but if it is achieved, then you have to listen to me in the future, you have to do whatever I ask you to do, how about it, this condition is very reasonable, right?" Zhao Yan said with a smile, these days he is supervised by Cao Ying, not only is eating and drinking restricted, but it is not even easy to find someone to talk to, he has never been a generous person, if there is a chance, he doesn't mind doubling his revenge on the other party.
Cao Ying heard that if she lost, she would have to listen to Zhao Yan, which made her hesitate a little, but when she saw Zhao Yan's hateful smile, a wave of anger suddenly surged in her chest, and Silver Tooth nodded tightly and said, "Okay, a word is a deal!" ”
