Chapter 402: Picking Up Cheap (2)

Now that the government and the opposition are in turmoil, the days of tranquility are numbered. The princelings, the three princesses, and several princes who were secretly spying on the opportunity to move, plus the four major families, these forces are intricately entangled, which is enough to shake the government and the opposition and churn the seas.

If the Jing Dynasty falls into civil strife, the Baimeng will definitely open its mouth to Da'an, and if Beishan Xiao doesn't want them to succeed, he will transfer troops to support Da'an, but the selection of the troops will become a big problem. On the occasion of recovering the imperial power, who can get the absolute trust of Kitayama Xiaonori?

Moreover, as soon as the war with the Hundred Leagues begins, the Rong people north of Yasukuni will certainly wait for an opportunity to disturb the border and try to fish in troubled waters.

Gongsun Lan heard the Zhuanghu steward mention the harvest of the Zhuanghu, and subconsciously thought of the military quartermaster.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

It can be seen that the decisive role in the war is the military supply.

She is bound by the general trend to meddle in the change of ownership and the change of dynasty, but she doesn't want to be miserable. Then we have to find a way to make everything happen as quickly and efficiently as possible. If next year's harvest is affected, it will inevitably affect the war.

If there is not enough food and grass, the war will not know how long it will drag on, and the people will be greatly implicated.

So, not only do you have to prepare in advance, but you also have to think of other ways to do it. She has a way, but the Gongsun family is not easy to get ahead.

Gongsun Lan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly had a good candidate.

……

The matter of Chongyuan Temple gradually died down, and what made a fuss was the trouble in Cui's stall, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally Cui Hongyuan, the secretary of the ministry. Cui's family kept shouting injustice, but they never found evidence that they were framed.

Yue Rongting couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If the Cui family is really wronged, he will not be happy in his heart.

When she returned home that day, Mrs. Yue held a box to Yue Rongting and said, "Master, what do you think this is?" ”

Yue Rongting opened the box puzzled, and saw that there were palm-sized round cakes inside: "Where did this come from?" ”

Mrs. Yue frowned and looked at the contents of the box, and said, "Today, Mrs. Gongsun came to the house and walked around, bringing a few souvenirs, and the others are fine, but this one, but it is a little strange." ”

Gongsun Qifeng reminded Yue Rongting of the matter of the Zen staff, no matter what, Yue Rongting had to express his gratitude. Therefore, Mrs. Yue walked around the Gongsun Mansion and gave a thank you gift. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gongsun suddenly came to visit today and sent this thing over.

Yue Rongting picked up the round cake, put it under his nose and smelled it, it seemed to have a faint aroma of herbs, as well as the taste of woad, he couldn't help but put it in his mouth and took a bite, the taste was rough, with a slight salty taste, it seemed to be made of bran rice.

Mrs. Yue couldn't help but blame him when she saw him eating like this: "Why did you eat it, this chaff is used by the villagers to feed the pigs!" I really don't know why the Xue family sent such a thing? What do they mean, sir? Are you dissatisfied with the thank you gift we sent? ”

Yue Rongting frowned and chewed carefully, suddenly his eyebrows lit up, and he took another bite. Mrs. Yue was startled, stepped forward to grab it, and said angrily: "I said that you are crazy, how can this thing be eaten!" ”

"Hmph, long hair and short knowledge!" Yue Rongting swallowed the coarse cake in his mouth and said, "Do you know what the people eat to save their lives in disaster years?" Do you know that when there was a famine in Ezhou, you couldn't even eat this chaff, so you can eat it! ”

Mrs. Yue glared and said, "But we are living a good life now, what are we doing here!" ”

Yue Rongting didn't want to argue with her, so he snatched a box of coarse vegetable cakes in her hand, hugged them in his arms like a baby, and said, "I'm going to find Li Qingyuan, I'm not eating at home!" ”

Mrs. Yue was puzzled: "What are you looking for him?" ”

Yue Rongting didn't care about answering, and went to find his friend.

The Li family's place is not big, but they have a separate courtyard to load medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials in the courtyard almost make people have no place to put their feet.

Li Qingyuan was drying herbs in the yard, busy sweating profusely, seeing that Yue Rongting was coming, he didn't move the place, he was still standing in the pile of medicinal herbs and was busy, and said casually: "Do you have something to look for me?" I'm busy. ”

Li Qingyuan is Yue Rongting's close friend, usually a folk langzhong, if Yue Rongting goes on an expedition, he will be counted as an accompanying military doctor.

Yue Rongting didn't care when he heard this, he opened the box in his hand with a smile, stretched out his arm and handed him a piece of coarse vegetable cake, and said, "Look at this!" ”

Li Qingyuan also stretched out his arm, took the thing he handed over, looked at it and was stunned, smelled it, and his eyes widened, and like Yue Rongting's reaction, he bit it down, chewed it carefully in his mouth for a long time, and then said: "Good thing!" What a good thing! Who is so ingenious! ”

Yue Rongting couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Is it delicious?!" ”

"Delicious! Naturally delicious! ”

The "delicious" that the two of them say is naturally not that this thing tastes delicious, but because its effect is too "delicious"!

Li Qingyuan came out of the pile of herbs, pulled Yue Rongting into the room, and said: "This bran rice cake is mixed with sun-dried woad vegetables, as well as herbs with different effects, but whether it is bran rice or herbs or woad vegetables in it, they are all the cheapest, such things, in case of disaster years, war, are the best food supplies!" ”

Of course, Yue Rongting knew that this year's rain would lead to a bad harvest, and if he could spend it peacefully next year, it would naturally be nothing, but in case of a war, the grain stock would inevitably be insufficient, and the consequences could be imagined...... He has experienced a hundred battles, and he has long known that people's livelihood is closely related to the strength of the country, and he has had a lot of worries about this matter in the past few days.

"It's wonderful! The ripening time of the herbs is short, and it can ensure the needs of the body, and the herbs in it can also be replaced at any time to prevent heat stroke and plague...... Not to mention this chaff rice. ”

Li Qingyuan said excitedly: "This is the attention you came up with?!" ”

Yue Rongting glared at him, he was about to step on the favor of the Gongsun family again! He said angrily: "No! I'm going to find the bread maker right now! Are you with me? ”

……

The scorching flowers at the railing, the bright red roses, like a burning fire, bloom wantonly under the blue sky of June.

The girl in the smoke powder palace skirt stands in the shade of the cloister flowers, slightly light against the background of the flowers, but seems to be integrated into the soul of the person in the painting, there is an indescribable vividness.

Gongsun Tu stretched out his hand, exposing his slender fingers to the warm sun. I heard that the king, who has been estranged from the queen mother for a long time, is finally coming to Yikun Palace to say goodbye to his mother.

Because there was a problem with the Zen staff made by the Ministry of Rites and Rites of Kitayama Xiao, it caused the wrath of the heavens, causing the prince and the princess to almost die in Chongyuan Temple. Flying up to the desk of Beishan Xiaoze like a snowflake, he took the opportunity to put pressure on him, and "tactfully" persuaded him that the "alienation" between him and the queen mother was against filial piety.

Beishan Xiao was secretly frightened, the Queen Mother had been silent for many years, and the power in her hands was still solid and firm and should not be underestimated. And yet he had to do so.

The word "filial piety" was pressed down, forcing him to bow his head like the other party first.

Gongsun Tu doesn't care what the cause and effect of all this is, what she cares about is an opportunity that cannot be missed.

Therefore, when Beishan Xiao moved to Yikun Palace, what he saw was a bright and agile beautiful girl under the color of the flowers, smiling and touching the sun.

"Who is this?"

Beishan Xiao, who was amazed, tilted his head slightly and asked Yang Chengzhi beside him.

Yang Chengzhi, as the first eunuch beside Beishan Xiaoze, naturally knows everything in the palace well, and besides, when the Queen Mother kept Gongsun Tu by her side, she did not shy away from it. He had already told the king about this earlier, so he reminded him a little: "This is the third lady of the Gongsun family, the one who entered the palace some time ago and was left by the queen mother's side to accompany her." ”

"Is that her?"

Beishan Xiao raised his eyebrows, I heard that this girl has been sick since she was a child, she has not been out a few times, and there are very few people who have seen her, but she didn't expect to be a peerless beauty. However, he has seen too many beauties in his life, and if he doesn't have something outstanding, he won't be able to get into his eyes.

The only thing that interested him was the reason why the Queen Mother insisted on keeping this woman by her side. Could it be that it is to "get closer" to the Gongsun family? I heard that Mama Jiang, who was out of the palace next to the Queen Mother, seems to have deliberately gone to Gongsun's house to raise this third lady? I wonder if the Queen Mother has already collected her grandson?

The relationship between Gongsun Di and King Lian seemed to be good......

Thinking of King Lian, Beishan Xiaoze's face gradually became gloomy. Yang Chengzhi looked at him from the side, and his body couldn't help but get lower and lower.

"Slave and maid, please give your lord." Female official Yuan came from a distance, glanced at Gongsun Tu in the distance, then withdrew her gaze, and went straight to Beishan Xiao and saluted respectfully.

Beishan Xiao raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

"Thank you." Lady Yuan straightened her knees, the smile on her face was meticulous, and said, "The Queen Mother heard that you are coming up and are waiting for you in the palace." ”

After many years of meeting, there was no excitement and no fanfare, but the son was dressed in homely casual clothes, like ordinary people who invite Ann every day, came to visit his mother.

The Queen Mother can understand the meaning of Beishan Xiaoze, and is willing to accompany him to play a scene of mother and son filial piety.

Lady Yuan's voice was not loud or small, and finally alarmed Gongsun Tu, who was admiring the flowers under the corridor, she turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Beishan Xiao in the distance was startled for a moment, and then knelt down softly and bowed to Beishan Xiaoze.

Kitayama was stunned for a moment, a little curious about her move. There was no approach, no flattering greeting, but the most respectful courtesy. What does that mean? is so respectful and submissive, is it to tell her that she has a heart of distress that she can't speak? Is it to express the unwillingness to be imprisoned by the Queen Mother and not allowed to get close to yourself?

Fang Cai's gloomy mood couldn't help but ease a little, perhaps, the Gongsun family was not so easy to be subdued by the Queen Mother?

"Let's go." Beishan Xiao glanced at Lady Yuan and walked towards where the Queen Mother was.

Gongsun Tu under the corridor heard the footsteps moving away, and slowly looked up at the back.

Under the Queen Mother's eyelids, she can't make it too obvious, I just hope that the king can understand his mind...... She can't tell that secret casually, that's her biggest bargaining chip, and if she can't get everything she wants, she has to use it to get out of it.

She slowly got up, smoothed the folds in her dress, and smiled slightly. Your Majesty, you must have noticed her.
