Where did Empress Dowager Xu bear to blame Xiao Yuanhao, she seemed to be looking for recognition, and smiled with Mrs. Cuiwei who was sitting next to her: "Ah Hao, this little ghost spirit, can say anything with a small mouth, and she can't stop her mouth with a full meal!" ”

Everyone joined in the fun.

How can a child's words be taken seriously? However, everyone has a number in their hearts, and Empress Dowager Xu really takes a fancy to An Guogong's little granddaughter.

"Queen Mother, please forgive the recklessness of the courtiers."

It was a happy and peaceful time, but Ruan Jiayi suddenly knelt down.

She spoke softly, but it was enough to silence everyone.

Empress Dowager Xu's eyelids jumped, and the smile on her face faded a little: "Jiayi, if you have anything to say, get up and talk about it." ”

Ruan Jiayi raised her head, her delicate face was full of stubbornness and determination: "Queen Mother, the courtiers are ominous people, and they have long stopped thinking of marrying, and I wish my grandfather good health in this life." I also begged the Queen Mother to fulfill her courtiers! ”

Empress Dowager Xu had no smile on her face, she had a little anger on her cheeks, and stared at Ruan Jiayi for a long time before saying, "You are a good boy with filial piety." Mama Jiang, help the girl of the Ruan family to get up. ”

Mama Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and vigorously helped Ruan Jiayi: "The ground is cold, the female monarch should get up quickly." ”

Ruan Jiayi's face was pale, and she bit her lip, wanting to explain something, but was almost dragged down by Mama Jiang.

The ladies looked as usual, and laughed again, and no one mentioned the marriage of their children.

Xiao Yuanhao and Xiao Yuanshu held hands, leaned on Xiao Qian's arms, and silently ate the snacks on the table in front of Xiao Gan.

Although the two little girls were small, they both knew that the adults were very unhappy at this time.

Especially Xiao Yuanshu, knowing that she might be in trouble, she behaved extremely well-behaved. also with a kind of consciousness of being a sister, and asked Xiao Yuan with a serious face.

"Little Ten, grandmother is not very happy, and may punish you at night. You come back to Jingdegong with me in a while, let's fry dumplings and eat. ”

Xiao Yuan patted his little belly, and simply rejected Xiao Yuanshu's kindness: "If you don't eat it, if you eat it again, I will become a dumpling." ”

She actually couldn't understand Ruan Jiayi, and she didn't look like a fool, so she didn't know how to look at people's faces.

was originally a child's joke, Ruan Jiayi could have pretended to be shy and didn't speak, just smile and pass, just leave the rest to the adults of their family, and if it's not the scene, she has to pull Lang to match.

She shouted out, how could Mrs. Xu get down?

Xiao Yuan glanced at Xiao Jianning's face, and when he saw Xiao Jianning's stunned look, he couldn't help but hate this stupid brother for iron and steel-there is a problem with looking at women!

was unguarded, but Xiao Qian flicked his head: "At a young age, what are you sighing about?" ”

Xiao Qian and a few courtiers were talking about the drought in Suiyang Mansion in Hongzhou last year, and the small episodes that happened on the ladies' side, he only listened to them for a while, and he didn't care.

But as soon as the youngest daughter sighed, Xiao Qian immediately took it to heart, and Qi Jing and Yu Conglin, who were close, saw that the king had avoided the topic of Fang Cai, so they also kept silent.

Xiao Yuan didn't want to go back to Ruan Jiayi, so he said casually: "The drums of the two sisters of the Yu family are really good. ”

Xiao Yuanshu was not to be left behind: "Sister Ruan's dance is also good!" ”

Xiao Qian thought that the two little girls were boring here, so he pointed at Xiao Jianning and said, "A-Ning, lead your younger brothers and sisters to guess the lantern riddles." ”

When Empress Dowager Xu heard the movement here, she glanced at Xiao Zhenting, whose expression had returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Ah Ting also followed your nephews and nieces." Let these children go and guess the lantern riddles. ”

The king and the queen mother both spoke, and the banquet became even more lively.

Not only the children, but even some young women got up and left the table to enjoy the lanterns and guess the riddles.

Xiao Yuanhao refused Xiao Yuanshu's invitation, nestled in Xiao Qian's arms and didn't like to move.

Xiao Qian touched Xiao Yuan's little head melon and said, "Ah Hao, why don't you go with me?" ”

Xiao Yuanhao said very simply: "Those lantern riddles are too difficult, I can't guess them, I can only wait for my brothers and sisters, it's not interesting at all." ”

Xiao Longzhuang, the Fu'an Jun who was eating and drinking with a red face, smiled and teased Xiao Yuanhao, and said: "Ah Hao, don't hide it, you are talented at a young age, what's so difficult about a few lantern riddles?" Come, make a poem and listen! I've got a lot of good stuff here, and if you do it well, it's all yours! ”

As he spoke, he ripped off a jade gourd pendant from his waist.

The jade gourd pendant was the size of a small fist, and the water head was excellent, shaking slightly with Xiao Longzhuang's movements. The lights shine during the banquet, reflecting the turquoise and transparent light.

Xiao Yuan's eyes began to shine again, staring at the jade gourd pendant and turning around, and said reluctantly: "Uncle and grandfather just moved out of Jinshan Yinshan, and I won't do it." ”

In order to avoid being tempted by this pendant, Xiao Yuan turned his head and plunged into Xiao Gan's arms, humming Xiao Gan to say something else: "Father, Ah Hao wants to hear about the drought in Suiyang Mansion in Hongzhou, just now you talked about taxes, and I haven't finished listening to it." ”

Xiao Qian's eyebrows were raised, but his expression was not obvious: "Ah Hao actually likes to listen to this?" ”

He turned to Da Si Nong and said, "Jin Gong continues." ”

Jin Min, the great farmer, continued the topic of Fang Cai: "Last year, there was a big drought in Suiyang Mansion, and I was just in time for wheat filling. The harvest of crops in the fields is halved. The drought was followed by locusts. Some counties in Suiyang Prefecture have not received any grains. But Rao is like this, but Suiyang Mansion did not apply for tax exemption, only saying that the loss was not big. ”

Xiao Qian waited for Jin Min to finish speaking before he said, "Suiyang Mansion Decree is the wife and brother of King Jingzhao Yin, right?" ”

Imperial Doctor Qi Jing said: "Exactly, however, Wang Shi's wife died early, and he rarely had contact with this wife's brother-in-law. ”

Xiao Yuan heard Xiao Gan snort softly: "That's it, let the Hongzhou shepherd go to Suiyang Mansion to take a look, Gu will give him a month, he can't come up with a charter, and he won't come to see Gu in the future." ”

Xiao Yuanhao hadn't figured out Dayan's official system yet, and she could hear the clouds and mountains covered in fog, but the drought in Suiyang Mansion aroused her interest.

"Father, are there rivers and lakes in this Suiyang Mansion, and what is the topography? Is it mountainous or plain? ”

Xiao Qian saw that Xiao Yuan was very interested, and he was also interested, so he asked Gao Hongan to find out the map, re-lifted a case, spread the map on it, and hugged Xiao Yuan to look good.

"Ah Hao, you see, this is my Dayan's country." Xiao Qian held Xiao Yuan in one hand, and pointed at the map with the other, looking very heroic.

Xiao Yuanhao quickly found the location of Suiyang Mansion in Hongzhou on the map, but did not find the marks of rivers and lakes in Suiyang Mansion, so he couldn't help but ask Xiao Qianlai.

Don't look at Xiao Qian as a king, but if you want to talk about the topography of Dayan and the water conservancy projects of various state capitals, you have to ask Dasi Nong Jin Min.

Jin Min is an old man, a beard is a foot long, and it is braided into small braids, and the tips of the braids are also decorated with a jade pendant, which is extremely carefully groomed.

While stroking his beard and braids, he pointed at the map: "Your Royal Highness, Princess, please look." This Hongzhou is mountainous, but there is little water, since ancient times, only a thin river has been introduced from Qizhou. But every time the weather is dry, this river breaks off......"

Xiao Yuanhao stared at this roughly-made map and thought for a long time, then pointed his fat finger and said, "Why not divert water from the south to the north?" ”
