"Brother Lan wrote that Zhang Hongzheng is helping the two brothers of the Yang family to deal with the harvested long-staple cotton according to your instructions, and the cotton seeds will also be collected and stored, and the seedlings will be sown and raised in the next year. Because of the limited number of cotton seeds, you will have to expand the planting scale next year, so Brother Lan persuaded me to wait for a year or two, and then invest silver in the long-staple cotton seed reserve when the reserve is sufficient......"

Zhang Xi told everything about the resettlement of cotton in the northwest.

Huang Yi'an said apologetically: "Thank you to the fourth prince and the second steward, I have to worry about them every time." ”

Zhang Xi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm afraid they all wish they could worry about you......

Having said this, Zhang Xi suddenly felt that something was inappropriate, so he stopped the following words with a smile, and his expression couldn't help but be a little apologetic.

Zhang Hong is the second steward of the national government's mansion, but he can serve the queen's mother, which is naturally an honor; As for Zhang Lan......

Alas, the past is over, and she has to mention it again.

Compared with Zhang Xi's uneasiness, Huang Yi'an, the client, was much more generous, smiled slightly, and responded calmly: "I am also very fortunate to have the fourth son and the second steward to help, otherwise the matter of the cotton field will never go so smoothly." ”

Don't say anything else, but she can't shine on the cotton seeds of long-staple cotton and the human hands that are good at planting.

Seeing that Huang Yi'an was so calm and upright, Zhang Xi was embarrassed to get up, so he put aside the unease in his heart, and followed Huang Yi'an's words and said: "Anyway, this is also a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, the Northwest Army has especially taken a lot of bribes, and Brother Lan and Zhang Hong will naturally go all out!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly revealing the matter without mentioning it.

"By the way, the last time you asked me to help find the steward, I already have an eyebrow." Zhang Xi said with a smile.

"Oh? Is it? Huang Yi'an was very surprised and asked, "I don't know who it is?" What are the skills? ”

Zhang Xi replied with a smile: "That person's name is Xu Yuan, a person from the suburbs of Beijing, who has been farming for generations, knows a lot about crops, has read books for a few years, can write and calculate, is shrewd and careful, and is quite responsible." I've already asked for it myself, and I think it's okay, so I asked him to wait for news.

"As long as you're okay here, he can go on a business at any time."

"Since Sister Zhang thinks it's good, then there must be no problem!" Huang Yi'an said with a smile.

Zhang Xi was born in a famous family, has a wide range of knowledge and high vision, and the person who can be evaluated like her is definitely not an ordinary and incompetent person, at least a small cotton field steward can still do it.

Zhang Xi laughed when he heard this, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? People are recruited to do errands for you, and they are not at my beckoning, so how can I just see it? ”

Huang Yi'an said with a smile: "Don't I trust Sister Zhang!" Besides, Sister Zhang has always had a very good eye! Otherwise, you won't be able to make friends with me! ”

Zhang Xi laughed when he heard this, glared at Huang Yi'an, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you praising me?" Or praise yourself? ”

"All praise!" Huang Yi'an raised his eyebrows and smiled, "There is a saying that 'people gather by like, and things are divided by groups', if it weren't for us being as good, how could we be so deed?" ”

"Hahaha......" Zhang Xi was about to laugh out of tears, but he didn't forget to echo: "Queen Mother Mingjian, this statement is very heartfelt!" ”

When it comes to self-confidence, who has she been afraid of?

The two laughed.

When Qi Yu returned to Kunning Palace, he saw this scene of laughter and happiness, and he couldn't help but feel sour.

Except for the red eyes last time, Huang Yi'an seemed to have never been so arbitrary in front of him......

The resentful eyes couldn't help but stare at Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi only felt a cold back, and when he subconsciously looked back, he was shocked to find that Qi Yu didn't know when he came back, and he was standing outside the hall staring at her, seeing that she was cold all over her body, and she couldn't hide out immediately to escape for her life.

When Huang Yi'an looked outside the hall in Zhang Xi, he also looked at her, and when he saw Qi Yu standing outside the hall, he immediately stayed and put on his shoes, and asked the palace people guarding the door: "Why didn't Your Majesty know that the palace would go out to greet him?" ”

Zhang Xi also came back to his senses by her questioning, hurriedly got down to put on his shoes and clothes, and stepped forward with Huang Yi'an to greet Qi Yu.

"Flat."

After Qi Yu personally helped Huang Yi'an up, he turned his head and said coldly to Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi, who was shown affection, only felt that His Majesty the Emperor's voice was colder than the first snow the day before, and hurriedly bowed his knees and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The courtiers retired. ”

Qi Yu let out a cold "um".

Zhang Xi hurriedly withdrew from the hall as if he had been amnestied, took a long breath, lifted the corner of his skirt, ran down the steps with a smoke, and rushed out of Kunning Palace.

Although she couldn't help but feel sour and sour when she thought of Brother Lan who was far away at the border, she was still very happy to see that the emperor loved Sister Chong'an more and more day by day!

No matter who she marries, she hopes that Sister An can live happily, just as Sister An hopes to wish her a happy marriage!

Huang Yi'an looked at Zhang Xi's figure as if he was fleeing for his life, and couldn't help but complain about Qi Yu and said, "Your Majesty! You're scaring Sister Zhang! ”

Qi Yu stepped slightly to the side, blocking Huang Yi'an's gaze towards the outside of the hall, and said unhappily: "I didn't blame her, where did I scare her?" ”

There was a hint of grievance in his tone.

Huang Yi'an was stunned, and then suddenly understood, Qi Yu should not be eating Zhang Xi's vinegar!

This vinegar is really inexplicable!

Huang Yi'an couldn't cry or laugh, and wisely chose not to continue to argue with Qi Yu, but instead asked the palace people guarding the door: "When Your Majesty came, why didn't you report to the palace?" ”

The palace man guarding the door looked at Qi Yu aggrievedly.

Qi Yu then said: "You don't have to blame them, I ordered them not to make a noise." I originally wanted to surprise you, but who knows......"

There is endless resentment hidden in the unfinished words.

Huang Yi'an sighed in his heart.

Can she not know that the palace people guarding the door were ordered by Qi Yu, so they didn't tell her? The reason why I asked this was just to divert Qi Yu's jealousy and complaint against Zhang Xi.

But who knew that Qi Yu's resentment was too deep, and he couldn't get around it at all!

Huang Yi'an didn't want to dwell on this topic, so he followed Qi Yu's words and asked, "I don't know what surprise Your Majesty has prepared for your concubine?" ”

While asking, he looked at Qi Yu with moist apricot eyes, with a look of joy and anticipation.

In front of such a small face, where does Qi Yu have to care about Zhang Xi's "competition for favor" with him!

"I'm going to knight the uncle and give the uncle an official!" Qi Yu said with a smile, "The cabinet has already said hello, just wait for the draft to be delivered!" ”

Huang Yi'an was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Give your father a knight?" Give Brother Dong an official? ”

I can't believe it.

When Qi Yu saw it, he was both happy that he had given the right surprise, but he was also ashamed: according to the usual practice, it was a matter of course to reward the queen's maiden family, but because of Zhang Gui's repeated obstruction, it has been four months since he and Huang Yi'an got married, Huang Wei is still just a brocade guard, and Huang Dong doesn't even have an official body, let alone the people in the second room of the Huang family.

It is normal for this matter to compensate for the reward, but it surprised Huang Yian beyond belief......
