Palace.

"Locusts make a delicacy?"

When the emperor heard the news, his first reaction was not to be too surprised, but to laugh.

"Replying to the news, the news from Hedu is indeed true, I heard that there is a woman next to Xiu Shizi, who is proficient in cooking, and this is what was originally a harmful locust into a meal on people's plates, which is exactly what that woman came up with." The old lady who reported the news. The warden said.

"I didn't expect Tuoba Xiu to have such a virtuous helper by his side? Hehe, interesting. The emperor put down the folds, got up and shook his sleeves, "Spread my instructions, send more people to Hedu to catch locusts, and make locusts into delicacies to share with other towns!" ”

After the emperor summoned him, most of the towns near Hedu enjoyed the locust food, and overnight, the news that the locusts could be eaten alarmed thousands of people.

And the locusts that plague the crops in Hedu are caught in large quantities and are becoming less and less.

Three days later, the locust delicacies spread throughout the Tuoba country, and the locusts in Hedu had been caught.

The locusts seemed to know the horror of human beings, and no longer dared to fly to eat the crops.

......

"It's only been three days! The locusts were eliminated in three days, and the confusion of the food disaster was solved! It's incredible! When the good news came, Tuoba Ji applauded.

Of course, Luo Tassel is happy, after all, the locusts are eliminated, and the people of Hedu can open up wasteland and farm land again, and live back to the normal days before, and Hedu can take on a new look.

"Eradicating locusts today is only half the battle." Xiao Jiu walked out from behind the curtain.

"Huh? Why did Miss Xiao say this? Aren't the locusts the main culprit of this food plague? Tuoba asked.

"Locusts are the culprits, but food is the source of survival, and Hedu has made a big food disaster this time, but it has never been stable because of food." Luo Tassel replied for Xiao Jiu.

The soil quality of the river is special, it is difficult to plant, and the supply exceeds the reality as the norm, even if the people are accustomed to it, they will lose the sustenance of survival to the river over time, and the river is difficult to become rich and strong.

"But this land is given by heaven, how can we change it at will?" Tuoba Ji said.

"Everything is variable, and it can definitely change!" Xiao Jiu said very firmly, "If you can provoke locusts, it means that Hedu still has excellent soil, but the people of Hedu can't use it effectively, let's find another way to change the pattern!" ”

"Listening to Miss Xiao's tone, haven't you already thought of a way?" Tuoba Ji listened attentively.

Xiao Jiu snapped his fingers and raised an eyebrow at Luo Tassel.

Later, he said to Tuoba Ji, "No, the method is not what I thought, it was Luo Tassel who thought!" ”

The other side.

"Tuoba Xiu is actually trying to change the river capital?!" The news was once again seamlessly connected to the ears of Tuoba Yuan and Tuoba Ming.

I thought that the locusts were exterminated, and a few people entered the palace to be rewarded by the emperor, but who knew that there was no movement to leave, and now there is unbelievable news.

"Second brother, do you think this Tuoba Xiu is crazy about fighting for power?!" Tuoba Yuan laughed mockingly, "Just because it is a woman who has made meritorious contributions, he is unconvinced, and now he is whimsical and wants to engage in these boring things, it's really ridiculous!" ”

"Big brother, without further ado, the time limit given by the emperor is running out, this locust plague has passed, since Tuoba Xiu does not invite credit, then we can only take the first step and receive this credit!" Tuoba Ming didn't want to waste time here at all, and the more it dragged on, the less opportunities the two of them would have to ask for credit.

"The emperor already knows that this locust plague is eliminated by Tuoba Xiu, I will go to ask for credit, can the emperor believe it?" Tuoba asked.

"If you want to stay here, whatever you want, then the second brother will go first!" Tuoba Ming looked coldly at Tuoba Yuan's timidity.

In short, it is a gamble before and after, it is better to leave this place of right and wrong.

Tuoba Yuan grabbed Tuoba Ming's arm, "I'll go back with you!" ”

......

Night.

Xiao Jiu was about to change his clothes and go to bed, but who knew that a fresh breeze was blowing at the door.

Immediately, the sound of the door closing was heard.

With this movement, Xiao Jiu didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Come in, come in, why be so sneaky, as if we were going to do something unseemly." Xiao Jiu was about to take off the coat and put it back on, turned around, and looked at Luo Tassel.

"Why do you lie during the day?" Luo Tassel looked at Xiao Jiu's eyes, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and said.

"Daytime?" Xiao Jiu blinked, "You mean, the strategy of farming?" ”

"Hmm."

"Oh, aren't you stupid!" Xiao Jiu lame, took a few steps forward and tiptoed on Luo Tassel's head and knocked it, "You always like to knock on my head like this on weekdays, and now you have to knock on my head for me!" ”

"Sit and talk." Luo Tassel saw that Xiao Jiu's complexion was still not good, so he helped her.

Xiao Jiu rolled his eyes, thinking that Luo Tassel must have seen himself too fragile.

"Okay, okay, I'm in good health, don't make me like Lin Daiyu!"

"Who is Lin Daiyu?"

"Forget it, I told you you you don't understand." Xiao Jiu spread his hands, "Na, now I'll tell you why I want to lie." ”

Xiao Jiu took a sip of medicinal tea, "You think, I came up with a plan to eliminate locusts in a hurry, it was forced by time, I didn't have time to explain too much, this is good, the people of Hedu know my name and regard me as the goddess chef... That's it, but His Royal Highness King Naji said that the emperor also heard about this and knew that the good plan was done by me... Although I am greedy for money and have some interest in fame and fortune, it is your task to come to Hedu to deal with the food disaster! If all the credit is credited to me, then where is your Luo tassel face?! ”

This is also what Xiao Jiu realized afterwards, his original intention was originally to Luo Tassel, but now he has become a celebrity, which is a backfire!

Therefore, Xiao Jiu can only think of another strategy, and the preservation of Luo Tassel can end up with a credit.

Bai Ri lied to Tuoba Ji that he had not explained the matter to Luo Tassel first, so Luo Tassel would come over at night and ask questions.

"This is your way, the credit is yours, it should be, and the face is nothing more than me." Hearing this, Luo Tassel shook his head and denied Xiao Jiu's words.

"It's okay,! You think it's okay, I think it does! Xiao Jiu snorted, "Luo Tassel, if you come to Hedu to govern meritoriously, you will be crowned king, if you become the prince, my Xiao Jiu will be able to eat and drink spicy food!" When the time comes, all the single men and women in the capital will come to me Xiao Jiu to talk to the matchmaker, and I Xiao Jiu will have endless thank-you gifts! How nice! How wonderful! ”

Xiao Jiu said it very naturally, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Luo Tassel looked at it in his eyes and was a little moved.

Suddenly, he spoke, his tone couldn't hear the emotion, and he just asked softly, "You... Would you like me to be crowned? ”

"Of course......" Xiao Jiu replied with a smile, but the words stopped abruptly halfway, she tilted her head to look at Luo Tassel, coughed her throat, and sighed, "Although I know that the prince is not a good errand, and I also know that this position is stared at by many people, and it is not very safe, but I believe that you Luo Tassel will definitely be able to be a good prince!" Take your father's throne and continue to continue the Three Kings' Mansion..."

"What about you, if I am crowned king, will you still be by my side?"

"How many times have you asked this question? I'm tired of hearing it! Xiao Jiu shrugged his shoulders, "If you can still remember me well after you become king, build a matchmaker pavilion for me in the capital, and take Xiao Bailing to the capital, and at that time, I will stay in the capital and continue to be my matchmaker, which can be regarded as ...... I'll be with you. ”

In the last sentence, Xiao Jiu had no confidence at all.

Yes, until now, she has not had the courage to think that if Luo Tassel is no longer an ordinary person, if Luo Tassel returns to the royal family, can she still stand Luo Tassel wholeheartedly as an ordinary woman.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Luo Tassel, but for everything in this era, she often feels unreal.

Even, when she wakes up occasionally, she always feels that she is still in a dream, and she always feels that everything now is just that she is dreaming a long dream.

There's a good saying.

I don't dare to go deep, I'm afraid of a big dream.

But it seems that her love for Luo Tassel is so deep that she can't extricate herself.

It's a big dream, and she doesn't want to wake up.

"If I am crowned king, you will be my princess, okay?"

As he spoke, Luo Tassel held Xiao Jiu's hand with one hand, and her eyes were all her.

It seems that all along, wherever Luo Tassel's eyes go, it is also Xiao Jiu.

As soon as he asked this, Xiao Jiu's heart trembled.

Suddenly, she chuckled, "This girl is used to being alone, used to freedom, don't think that if something happens, you want to monopolize this girl!" This matter is to be discussed, to be discussed! ”

It's easy to say.

Luo Tassel listened, but he didn't feel relaxed at all, but became heavier and heavier.

He could see that Xiao Jiu hadn't been able to make a decision until now.

She has always taken one step at a time, and perhaps, she is also afraid.

Drunk that day, she took the most precious thing in her life, and she was angry for a few days, but she didn't dwell on it afterwards.

If it were replaced by another woman, I am afraid it would not be so indifferent.

This is Xiao Jiu, this is what makes her special.

"Ah Jiu, in the future, don't hold yourself back again, especially with me, okay?"

"When have you ever been aggrieved, talking nonsense!" Xiao Jiu spread his hands and snorted, "I'll tell you, Luo Tassel, I've been thinking about this kind of good strategy for a long time, since I let you take advantage of this, don't be stupid and tell others that it's the method I think, you're like this, it's not good for you and me, you know!" This girl doesn't want to help a big fool! ”

Luo Tassel pursed his lips, knowing Xiao Jiu's good intentions, but he couldn't bear it.

This is deception, this is taking the reputation she deserves.

"Ah Jiu, the ones you mentioned just now, if you have merit, maybe the emperor will reward you a thousand times and a hundred times, it will be better."

"So what? I'm indifferent to fame and fortune, not so much! I just want to be a legendary matchmaker, and I have a good marriage for a long time, it's as simple as that! Xiao Jiu stood up, "Okay, I've said so much, you should be able to listen, I'm sleepy and want to rest, you can also go back to the house to rest early, and tomorrow according to what I said, take the people to cultivate grain land!" ”
