Chapter 167: Ice Crystal Fruit
The gentle water town in the south was also a white expanse of ice and snow at this time, and a general walked into the palace of the king of Wei and shouted like a bell: "Lord Wang, think of a way!" People are about to freeze to death outside, and I don't know when this snow will be heard, and the brothers really can't do it. ”
King Wei sat on the chair lazily and said, "What a noise!" If you can't clear it, don't clear it, isn't there still a lot of potatoes and rice bought back in the city, let people send them to the people, tell those people not to go out if they are fine, and by the way, ask the third child to go to the Hu people to see and buy some coal. ”
The general shook off the snowflakes on his body before entering the door, and sighed when he heard the words: "Is the prince thinking about building a greenhouse and planting something?" Or next year, in the spring of next year, even potatoes will be promoted! ”
King Wei pursed his lips and sneered: "Are you talking about the things that the queen made out of that little child to play with?" We still have to raise troops and practice martial arts! How can you have time to get those useless ones, and if you want something, there is no gold mine! Is there anything in this world that gold can't buy! ”
The general hesitated for a while and didn't speak again, but Princess Wei walked in gracefully and said gently: "A few days ago, Yun Heng came with news, saying that the emperor has approved us to enter Beijing for the holiday, why don't you pack your things!" ”
The general received King Wei's eyes and bowed and left, King Wei looked at the general's back and said coldly: "Qin Xuan, that old puppet pressed me when he was alive, I didn't expect this little cub who had not been on the throne for a long time to dare to order me." ”
Princess Wei's eyes flashed with ill intentions, and she comforted: "Isn't this that we haven't reached that position yet!" Just watch! The concubine will definitely give you a vent when she enters Beijing this time! ”
Qin Zhao in the imperial study looked at the mountains of songs, sighed, and knocked on the table: "Look at where there is still no news of the snow disaster now!" ”
Ji Chen lowered his head and said helplessly: "This is also helpless, but fortunately, many obedient officials have followed the trend and planted potatoes, although now that the city has been closed by heavy snow, fortunately, there is no shortage of food, but there are still many people who have frozen to death." ”
Qin Zhao frowned and asked, "How about the victims outside the city?" ”
Ji Chen said with a smile: "It's all right, it's thanks to the shack built by the queen's mother, many other cities use this method to resettle the victims, and it's not bad, but more people who live in the house freeze to death." ”
Qin Zhao picked up a book with a red cover and looked at it twice: "Isn't it usual that the Hu people bring in a lot of coal?" Why do I see that most of the oil and coal sent from the Western Regions have prevailed this year? ”
Ji Chen thought for a while before he said uncertainly: "Maybe the Hu people have a grudge against Concubine Shuniang for not being able to marry in the past!" I haven't heard of any place to buy a lot of Hu people's things, and Hu people's statement to the outside world is that they are all sold out. ”
Qin Zhao didn't know how to think of the strange gold in the fief of King Wei: "You go and check, Hu Ren Geng is usually upright and disdainful of lying, maybe there is something strange in this." ”
Ji Chen nodded and said, "There is another thing that I discovered a few days ago, but it took a little delay to send the news in." ”
Qin Zhao waved his hand impatiently: "Just say what you have, why are you still spitting!" ”
Ji Chen sighed and said: "It is said that a lot of fruits grow in the stream in the mountains, and hungry people eat them, and it tastes good when it is said to be non-toxic, which is nothing, but a few days ago, Shengshi Pavilion suddenly sold it, and many rumors said that this fruit was an ominous premonition." ”
Qin Zhao smiled coldly: "What kind of mess is this, now it's already a cold day, not to mention the stream on the mountain, it's just that the water in this house is about to freeze, what can grow!" ”
Lu Qingjin was taking care of the overly lush leeks in the vegetable garden, and Concubine Li's palm-sized red fruits walked in: "Look at it, Concubine Yun has just been sick for a while and hasn't asked much, and Sheng Shige dares to sell such a thing of unknown origin on her own initiative!" ”
Lu Qingjin didn't care about being polite at that time, so he took the unfamiliar fruit in Concubine Li's hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that the crystal clear fruit showed a fiery red color, and it was even soft when he touched it with his hand, saying that it was more like a jelly.
Concubine Li sighed and continued: "This thing is called Ice Crystal Fruit, it only appeared a few days ago, the shopkeeper of Shengshi Pavilion secretly sold this thing in order to fill his own pockets, I still heard about the rumors and only knew about it!" What a damn minion! ”
Lu Qingjin had seen this kind of thing from the princess's agricultural book, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's not poisonous, let Shengshi Pavilion change the shopkeeper and sell it!" I'll see if I can grow it in a moment, and it looks pretty good! ”
Concubine Li's face turned pale and staggered: "It's not a question of whether it's poisonous or not, this thing is an ominous omen, no one can say what will happen if it doesn't taste good, you better think about it carefully!" ”
Lu Qingjin handed her the handful of leeks he had just cut off in his hand and said; "You're not even afraid of Simin An, you're still worried about this, and besides, these weird things are all made up, so you'd better read more books if you're okay!"
Li Feixin said that the growth rate of your vegetable garden is very inconsistent with the books I read, but after hearing these words, she was still a lot more down-to-earth, and left with Xiaocui all the way.
After waiting for the door of the vegetable garden, Xiaocui said with some worry: "The queen can't take care of it now, but you can't let the rumors go on like this!" ”
Concubine Li tightened the clothes on her body and sighed: "We don't need this kind of thing, you can watch it!" It will be gone in a few days, after all, Simin An is now out of the blue, how can she endure it with her character. ”
Xiao Cui looked around before whispering; "Niangniang means to know who did this?"
Concubine Li kicked the snow under her feet: "Who else can it be, the emperor just gave Lu Qi a marriage here, and there was an accident over there when our Shengshi Pavilion sold ice crystal fruits, why are there so many restaurants that sell nothing!" It's just that Mrs. Lu's method is really inferior, but she has a fight with Princess Wei. ”
Xiao Cui looked up at the weather that was still snowing and sighed: "I hope this snow can make Princess Wei not enter Beijing, otherwise everyone's life will be difficult!" ”
Concubine Li smiled and turned the heater in her hand in one direction: "What are you worried about!" Isn't there still the queen and Simin An to bear! Anyway, we just cling to the queen, don't forget how much the emperor loves the queen now! I'm afraid that Princess Wei won't be able to please even if she tries her best. ”
