I don't know if Yan Yan helped the prince again or because Yan Yan relieved the princess, in short, when she came out of the East Palace, the queen saw Yan Yan much more pleasing to her eyes, and took the initiative to reward her with a bunch of things, among which Yan Yan was most happy was that the queen knew that she liked to eat rice and gave her a bucket of red rice.

According to the queen, this red rice is a tribute rice from South Vietnam, and it has a special fragrance whether it is made into porridge or rice.

And Yan Yan heard this and specially grabbed a handful of rouge rice, which looked fine, red, and the particles were a little longer than ordinary rice, but the two ends were rounder than ordinary rice, but it was a bit like the legendary rouge rice, and the reason why Yan Yan remembered rouge rice was because she read "Dream of Red Mansions" in her previous life and mentioned rouge rice, so she was curious and asked Du Niang on the Internet.

Of course, Yan Yan hadn't seen the real thing, but he just felt a little like it.

But even if it's not rouge rice, just by virtue of the tribute rice and the special fragrance, Yan Yan is also interested in this red rice.

So when she learned that the other party sent it was rice, Yan Yan asked the queen for a bucket, and she planned to go back and try planting it to see if she could make a high-quality product.

Coming out of the palace, Yan Yan went back to Lu's house for dinner, and after the meal, he talked to the ladies and relatives, Yan Yan went back to Mingyuan with Lu You on the grounds that he wanted to go back to extract distilled spirits, and did not stay at Lu's house.

The next day, when Yan Yan was leading Shanhua's mother and daughter to soak red rice seeds in the back garden, Mrs. Lu came to the door.

Knowing that Yan Yan was in the back garden, the old lady stopped the maid who wanted to pass the word and came directly to the back garden.

Seeing this, Yan Yan sensitively realized that the old lady must have asked her, but the other party didn't mention it, so Yan Yan naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

Yan Yan didn't ask, and the old lady was not in a hurry to mention it, she helped the maid to roughly turn the entire back garden around, and looked at these things planted by Yan Yan, although she didn't agree that she had turned a good back garden into a crop field, but the old lady still praised her a lot, such as being capable, smart, and willing to endure hardships.

"Grandmother, I'm just moving my mouth, they do all this work for me, I heard the female doctor in the palace say that it is best for pregnant women to be more active, so that the birth will be smoother." Yan Yan said as he led the person to Linshui Xuan.

Linshuixuan is a two-story wooden house, just by the lotus pond, the first floor was cleaned up by Yan Yan as a small study and tea room, usually nothing to bask in the sun here, read a book, drink some afternoon tea or something.

Therefore, Yan Yan made a terrace on this side of the water, put a rocking chair outside, and placed an arhat couch against the wall inside.

However, when Mrs. Lu entered the room, what she saw was not this Luohan couch, but the large desk in the middle of the room, on which there were five or six pen holders, each pen holder was full of pens, and in addition, there was a text panel on the desk that had not been dried.

From the desk, the old lady turned her attention to the Luohan couch, where a tray was placed on the low table in the middle of the Luohan couch, in which were placed two kinds of snacks and a white porcelain cup with a lid, and a half-turned book was placed outside the tray.

However, what attracts Mrs. Lu the most is the mattress and pillow and cushion placed on the Luohan couch, which is not a gorgeous woven gold brocade, but a pattern made of white, green and gray silk with three colors, embroidered with a little red plum, which is very elegant and clean.

Also, next to the mattress, there were several stacks of books more than a foot high, and at first glance, these books were what Yan Yan wanted to read.

This child, no matter what she does, can always surprise people, and it is no wonder that she can be appreciated by the royal family, and she is indeed not a little better than Yan Yu.

Seeing that the old lady nodded secretly while looking, Yan Yan stepped forward to help her walk towards the Luohan couch, and said as she walked: "Grandmother, come, sit here." I'm sorry, but I rarely have outsiders here, and I didn't bother to clean up, it's a bit messy. ”

Qingmiao, who followed up with Yan Yan, didn't wait for Yan Yan to ask and hurriedly picked up the kettle to make tea for the old lady, there was a ready-made small tandoor in the house, and it was a high-quality silver bone charcoal, but because Yan Yan was pregnant, she couldn't drink tea, this stove was mostly used to give her hot milk and goat milk or hot water.

Seeing that Qingmiao skillfully broke a piece of tea cake and put it in the stove, and soon the room was filled with a smell of tea, the old lady smiled first, "Qingmiao, this kid is becoming more and more capable, or you can train people." ”

These words made Yan Yan's heart tighten.

When she came back last night, Qing Glaze told her a strange thing, saying that after Yan Yan left, Mrs. Lu pulled her and asked her for a long time, asking her what she would do, how old she was, what she was mainly responsible for, and how the girls around Yan Yan were divided.

At that time, Yan Yan felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it, after all, the old lady and Lu Duan promised not to force Lu You to take a concubine in front of so many people, so it should be unlikely that they would regret it.

But who knew that it was only one night, and Mrs. Lu actually came to the door in person, and praised Qingmiao as soon as they met, this posture was clearly to make decisions for her.

In a flash of lightning, Yan Yan thought of the words of the old lady who coaxed Lu You yesterday, saying that "your mother will be wrong, not to force you to take a concubine", and now it seems that she will also be wrong, the one who wants to take a concubine is not Lu You, but Lu Duan.

And the reason why Lu Duan pointed out that he wanted the maid beside her was mostly to go to the distilled spirit, but he was afraid that there was something else.

By the way, there is also the sand table, and the sand table Qinghe also helped at the beginning, and Lu Duan obviously knew about it.

But the problem is that Yan Yan is reluctant to let go, whether it is Qinghe or Qingmiao, they have lived with her for so many years, and she has repeatedly said that she will definitely find a good home for them and marry them off in a beautiful way.

But what's so good about being a concubine for Lu Duan, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl marries a forty-year-old man, and has to follow him to the north to endure hardships, how can Yan Yan bear it?

Thinking of this, Yan Yan squeezed out a smile, "Back to grandmother, Qingmiao has been with me since she was five years old, Qinghe is going to get married, Qingyu and Qingglaze are still young, and I am all pointing at her." ”

"Don't you want two more Qingyu Qingyun?" Old Lady Lu didn't give up and asked.

"Those two were brought back from the nunnery, and they said that they would come down the mountain to help me for a few years, and they would not be sold as slaves, so the two of them could not be regarded as my maids. Besides, they are also old, and they are seventeen this year, and they should be married, but it so happened that my father sent me four retinues, and I asked them what they meant, and I also planned to give them a happy event at the end of the year. Yan Yan didn't believe that Lu Duan was embarrassed to follow his entourage to rob people.

Seeing that she hadn't opened her mouth yet, Yan Yan had allowed all the maids around her to go out, and couldn't help but suspect that Yan Yan must have guessed her intention.
