Chapter 119: A New Vegetable Garden
Qin Zhao agreed, leaned over to Lu Qingjin's side, and whispered: "I should reward you for doing so many things for Da Yu, but the emptiness of the treasury is really nothing, thinking that the place in the Cold Palace has been abandoned, I will reward you." ”
Lu Qingjin moved his body uncomfortably and smiled; "Are you sending me into the cold? Or is it a cold palace from the previous dynasty, what do I want to do in this place? ”
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows, and Shi Shiran said; "Except for my imperial study and the imperial garden, this cold palace is the largest place in the imperial city, when I heard that the treasury was empty when the previous dynasty built this palace, and this palace has not been paved with bluestone bricks until now."
Lu Qingjin's eyes sparkled and said; "In other words, there are not only empty palaces and storehouses, but also large tracts of land, which is equivalent to another vegetable garden."
Qin Zhao saw that she was about to run out as she spoke, and hurriedly stopped her: "The sun is so big at noon, you are not afraid of heat stroke, come back quickly, and in the afternoon, you take a few eunuchs to take off the sign of the cold palace, and that place is your vegetable garden." ”
Lu Qingjin nodded happily and went to the warehouse to count the seeds, Xiao Fuzi walked to Qin Zhao's side and whispered; "The general and Lord Yan Sheng are already in the imperial study, saying that they have something to discuss with Your Majesty."
Qin Zhao looked at Lu Qingjin's departing back and nodded; "I know, let them wait a while, just say that there is something else on my side."
Outside the door of the imperial study, Xiao Fuzi stood in front of the two of them with some embarrassment, Ji Chen frowned and sighed after listening to him, Yan Sheng didn't care too much; "This is the difference between someone who has become married and a single like you, if you have a daughter-in-law, you will not be free at any time, I said that you will come back in the afternoon, but you will not listen."
Ji Chen shook his head and said stubbornly; "National affairs cannot be delayed, and it doesn't hurt if we wait here for a while"
Qin Zhao, who had just walked over, sighed and said that it was still a piece of wood after so many years, and he coughed majestically on his face and said, "Okay, hurry up and go in, if this big sun gives you heat stroke, it will be another expense." ”
The three of them walked to the imperial study, Xiao Fuzi took everyone down with interest, Yan Sheng said solemnly: "We came here for Zhao Yunheng's gunpowder, we all thought that even if we transported gunpowder, it was only a boatload, after all, it was just a restaurant, but I didn't expect Zhao Yunheng to transport three ships into Beijing in a row, his plan may not be so simple." ”
Qin Zhao frowned and looked at Ji Chen, and suddenly asked; "Has Lu Qi made any recent moves?"
Ji Chenleng paused for a moment before replying: "Except for Lu Youruo, who still goes to Haiyan Tower from time to time, there is no more, I heard that Zhao Yunheng doesn't know why he alienated her." ”
Yan Sheng opened his mouth thoughtfully; "This Lord Lu Qi is not too unreasonable, the emperor can take advantage of this."
Qin Zhao's heart moved, and then he thought of Lu Qingjin's identity and shook his head again: "You can't startle the snake, you guys should pay attention to the movements of all parties, and don't let his gunpowder come in again without being detected." ”
The two of them said yes and left, and the rest of Qin Zhao fell into deep thought.
Lu Qingjin didn't know how much trouble her identity had brought to Qin Zhao, she was taking people to the new vegetable garden, Concubine Li and Concubine Yun were still idle and followed to watch the excitement, and the three of them were staggered by the smell when they entered the door, Concubine Yun said while fanning her fan; "What does it smell like, it's like a dead person."
Concubine Li could barely bear it and said helplessly: "This is all left over from the previous dynasty, it was not repaired much at the beginning, and now the wild grass has grown several batches, it is impossible to have no smell, just wait for the rotten grass to be removed." ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the cold palace with three vegetable gardens and sighed: "The previous dynasty was really extravagant." ”
A few little eunuchs behind him hurriedly began to clean up, Lu Qingjin squatted next to his basket and looked at the contents inside, Concubine Li came over and pointed to the round gourd and asked; "This is the newly discovered food you are talking about? It doesn't look like it's very well fed. ”
It just so happened that a place next to it had been cleared out, and Lu Qingjin ran over with the gourd, and the swarthy soil looked more fertile than Huangzhuang. Lu Qingjin nodded with satisfaction, took the shovel and began to dig a pit: "This thing is actually the best to feed, and the output is still very large." ”
Concubine Yun had already shopped around, and came over with something she didn't know where to find; "How do you plant it so big, do you want me to find someone to cut it for you."
Lu Qingjin said while throwing the whole gourd into the pit and burying it: "The land here has been barren for too long, I don't know if there are snakes, insects, rats and ants or something, it is better to plant it whole and let it sprout slowly." ”
The two people next to him nodded as if they didn't understand, and with the increase in the amount of land cleared, Concubine Li and Concubine Yun also started to move, Lu Qingjin was responsible for turning the potholes in the corner into rice fields, and the two of them planted garlic with hard work.
The white garlic was planted in a large area, Concubine Yun said worriedly while watering; "We've never planted anything, so will this garlic survive?"
Concubine Li looked at the neat soft land and said proudly: "You can rest assured, since the queen mother gave us this land, she should know it in her heart, and she will definitely be able to grow it." ”
Lu Qingjin laughed behind them; "This thing is so lively, besides, isn't there still me, you'll be able to see it in a few days."
The two turned around and looked startled. I saw that Lu Qingjin could see mud everywhere, and the potholed land behind her had turned into a neat rice field, where the clear water flowed quietly, and the rice grains could be faintly seen standing in the soil.
Concubine Li said while wiping the dirt for her: "This yard is really too big, so I will clean up a corner, and the rest will be sorted out tomorrow." ”
After all, the paddy field is a more laborious job, and Lu Qingjin is also very tired, so he nodded approvingly: "It's okay, the carrots should be sent in tomorrow, and we can take some more to Shengshi Pavilion to sell." ”
Concubine Yun nodded and agreed: "No, this carrot has attracted a lot of people after only one day of buying it in Shengshi Pavilion, and the price has also risen a lot, and my father even secretly sent someone to ask." ”
Concubine Li smiled and teased: "You are really real, you may not have sent some of us home, no wonder your father is in a hurry, I am afraid that you have forgotten him." ”
