Chapter 202: Can't Hide
"Rice grain?" Fang Jie remembered the gossip with Pucao a few days ago, and his brows furrowed slightly. Originally, he did not agree to Pucao's trial rice planting, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. But now that I hear this, I really don't know whether to sigh "It's a disaster that can't be avoided".
However, the cultivation of rice is beneficial to the country and the people, and if this is done, Prince Kang will definitely not worry about how to keep a little iron ore for future generations.
Zhao Fatzi finished eating the snacks in the box, looked up and saw that Fang Jie was silent, his heart moved, and he asked suspiciously, "Why don't you speak, do you have a way to solve Uncle Jiu's problem?" That's great, I feel distressed when I look at Uncle Nine's white hair. He loves you the most on weekdays, and treats you more kindly than my nephew, so you can't sit and watch the excitement. ”
Fang Jie was annoyed by what he said, waved his hand and said perfunctorily, "I have thought of a way, and I have to plan it carefully, and I will tell you more details when the time comes." ”
In Zhao Fatzi's heart, Fang Jie is a brother who has never told a lie since he was a child, and as long as he responds to everything, he will keep everything worry-free. Therefore, when he heard this, he immediately smiled, and instead called Uncle Jiang, who was sitting by the courtyard gate, and urged, "Uncle Jiang, help me see why the food is not good, my stomach is going to be hungry and stick to my back." ”
Uncle Jiang smiled and was about to get up and go out, but he didn't want Pucao to come away with Shanzi and Peach Blossom with a large tray. Uncle Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to help pick it up, and Fang Jie also got up to help remove the snack box. He saw that Pucao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, so he complained distressedly, "I said that I would buy another maid to come back, but you always disagreed." These menial tasks also have to be done by themselves, and they are generally affected. ”
Pu Cao pulled the handkerchief to wipe off the sweat, and responded, "I'm used to doing it myself, and besides, it's also a proper etiquette for my brother to cook some food by myself." ”
Zhao Fatzi was already drooling at the chicken stewed mushrooms in the big porcelain bowl at this time, and when he heard this, he smiled and saluted and thanked him, and finally saw the two children snuggling on the side of Pucao and looking at him curiously, so he took out two strings of golden peanuts from the purse on the side of his waist and handed them to the two children as a greeting gift.
The golden peanut is the size of a real peanut, strung with silver thread, and the golden is dazzling in the sun. The two children didn't know how valuable this thing was, but they just thought it was novel and fun, and turned their heads to look at their sister's little face full of longing.
Pu Cao had the heart to refuse, but seeing Fang Jie nodding slightly, he took it for the two children, and asked the two children to salute and thank them.
After this year's good food and drink, the two children will be able to raise a lot of money, Shanzi is seven years old, wearing a set of royal blue clothes and pants, lined with a small face, small arms, jade carving, white and lovely. Peach Blossom is also nine years old, dressed in a baby pink dress, with braids on her head and a ribbon of the same color wrapped around her hair.
Zhao Fatzi looked at the love in his heart, and after helping them, he pulled them to his side to eat with him. The two children played all morning and had an empty stomach, and seeing that the sister did not object, she gossiped with the "brother" who met for the first time but was very generous.
Pu Caoyuan was still displeased because of Zhao Fatzi's temptation when they met, but at this time, he was not only not annoyed by talking to the two children, but occasionally smiled from ear to ear, but began to change his opinion about Fang Jie's brother.
A smart person like Fang Jie is naturally happy when he sees everything in his eyes. But when I thought of that kind of rice, my heart turned as if it was as heavy as a thousand catties of boulders.
Soon, the crowd finished eating. Zhao Fatzi, who was full of wine and food and got Fang Jie's "reassurance", suddenly burst out of childlike innocence, and followed Shanzi Peach Blossom to the river to watch the group of soldiers in the village fight water fights. Leaving Fang Jie to shake his head helplessly, he started to help Pu Cao clean up the table.
Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang were so blind, let the master do the chores, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the job. Pu Cao and Fang Jie looked at each other and smiled, then took a pot of tea and went to the shade behind the room to enjoy the cool and gossip.
Pu Cao took two sips of tea, leaned comfortably on Fang Jie's shoulder and blew a cool breeze for a long time, and then asked softly, "There are no outsiders here, just say what you have to say." ”
Fang Jie's body stiffened, and then asked with a wry smile, "Is my expression so obvious?" ”
Pu Cao smiled and reached out to rub his eyebrows gathered in one place, and replied, "It's not just obvious, after a while, your brows will be wrinkled into iron bumps." ”
Fang Jie shook his head, stretched out his hand and took the knowing woman into his arms, and said perfunctorily, "You think too much, where do I have something on my mind." Let's talk about the Diaoyu Villa, the fat man gave so much capital, enough to toss. I remember you said that you wanted to build a greenhouse at the back of the yard, and I would find someone to start working on it in a few days..."
It's a pity that the more Fang Jie is so perfunctory, the more Pu Cao is curious about what happened. At this time, I heard him change the topic clearly, and I was annoyed in my heart, so I used my housekeeping skills and pinched the meat @ law.
Sure enough, the soft @ flesh on Fang Jie's waist couldn't bear the pain, so he had no choice but to stop and beg for mercy, "Okay, okay, don't pinch it." I'll tell the truth! ”
Pu Cao snorted angrily and stopped, and said with a smug face, "Next time you fool me, I'll pinch off your meat and stir-fry and eat." ”
Fang Jie loved her so angrily, his heart was warm and he hugged her and kissed her happily, and finally saw his beloved woman's face crimson lying in his arms panting, and the depression accumulated at noon seemed to have run away most of it.
He sighed softly, and his subordinates whispered Prince Kang's distress through the long black and shiny hair of Pucao. Since Pu Cao and Fang Jie have been heart-to-heart, the two of them know everything and say everything, naturally Prince Kang takes care of Fang Jie, and Pu Cao is also very clear, it can be said that Prince Kang has played the role of half a father in Fang Jie's life.
Now, this half-father is in trouble, if Fang Jie is not worried at all, it is too cold-blooded and ruthless, and he is a man in vain. Of course, if Fang Jie is to help with all his might, the best way is to start from the roots, that is, to take advantage of the fact that she can grow rice.
If rice can be grown on the land of the snow country, there is naturally no need to dig up precious iron ore to exchange with the south, and all contradictions and disputes will be stifled at the source. However, in the eyes of some people, the great good thing that benefits the country and the people is a disaster that cuts off the way to wealth, so danger will inevitably follow...
On the one hand, he is a half-father who is dedicated to the country and the people, and on the other hand, he is the safety of his beloved woman, Fang Jie's high frowning brow is for this.
Pu Cao sighed in her heart, but when she raised her head again, her face was still full of smiles, "I wanted to plant rice before, but you still didn't allow it." Now God can't see it, and he arranges such a thing to happen again. Now, rice has to be planted. If the rice is planted in the autumn next year, not to mention the solution to the prince's crisis, I will also mix up my fate, and when the time comes, I will marry you in the scenery and see who dares to underestimate me. ”
Fang Jie saw that Pu Cao was smiling and Yan Yan said a very dangerous thing as if it was as easy as playing at home, so he naturally knew that she was trying to ease his heart. After all, as long as you are not a fool, you can see the danger of planting rice, let alone a wise woman like Pu Cao. But not only did she not complain that he held her into the whirlpool in order to repay her kindness, but she opened her mouth for his sake. In the whole world, I am afraid that there is only one woman who treats him so sincerely.
How fortunate he was to have her by his side...
"Pucao, Pucao..."
Fang Jie's heart seemed to have a hot fire, which made his eyes red, and his subordinates hugged his beloved woman tightly, shouting her name one after another.
Pu Cao's heart was also hanging high on the boulder, if she originally wanted to plant rice was just curiosity and showmanship, but later she heard Fang Jie's explanation that she was so powerful that she had already broken out in a cold sweat. Now that she is about to be involved in the whirlpool of danger again in order to repay her kindness, how can she not worry. But there are some things that must be done, and there must be no escape. She can only be regarded as being reborn in this life, the experience that God has given her...
"Alright, alright, let go of me. If you suffocate me to death, see who will plant rice for you next spring? Pu Cao smiled and patted Fang Jie's back, and when he picked up his emotions, the two discussed the specific details of planting rice in a low voice.
Soon, the sun sets, and the birds return to the forest. Zhao Fatzi quietly touched the yard with two drenched children, and when he was looking around, he happened to be caught by the grass that came out of the stove with vegetables.
The two children were very experienced, and hurriedly ran up to the front with a smile on their faces and shouted, "Sister, sister, we won the water battle today, and the enemy was driven away." ”
Zhao Fatzi also came to the front, shook his sleeve that was still dripping and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't blame, I saw that the children were having a good time, and I forgot to restrain them for a while." ”
Pu Cao was helpless, her own child slapped twice, this distinguished guest from Kyoto, she couldn't beat or scold. So I had to point to the hall and said with a smile, "Go in and find a dry clothes to wear, it's very cold after dark, don't provoke the cold." It's going to be dinner in a moment. ”
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law Xie." Zhao Fatzi smiled and strode into the house, leaving two "little comrades-in-arms" who were unceremoniously rewarded with a popping chestnut by Pu Cao, and they were also sent home to change their clothes.
For a while, after dinner, Aunt Jiang sent the two children back to Zhang's house, and by the way, she watched the yard for Pu Cao, and Pu Cao and Fang Jie carefully talked about the important things discussed at noon and listened to Zhao Fatzi.
Although Zhao Fatzi was cornered by his arrogant mother since he was a child, he had to be a gentleman who ate, drank and had fun to protect his brotherhood. But after all, he was born in the royal family, and he has helped Prince Kang run errands in the past two years, and his sense of smell and sensitivity to politics are naturally not comparable to ordinary people.
Without waiting for Fang Jie to finish speaking, he was already excited and only slapped the table, saying that Uncle Nine didn't have to worry about it now. In the end, he grabbed Pucao's sleeve and thanked him a thousand times, so angry that Fang Jie rewarded him with two slaps before he came to his senses, and let go of Pucao.
