Chapter 299: Drinking Together
"Your Majesty, if you take that woman to Yan Kingdom, how do you plan to settle it?" Luo Shu did not answer Yan Chengli's question head-on, but chose to cut in from the side.
"Naturally, I found a quiet and secluded place to hide her."
"How does Your Majesty know that she will not be targeted after she comes to the Chu State, and what does Your Majesty think if someone uses her as a handle?"
"Who dare?!" After all, he has been an emperor for a while, and Yan Chengli has gradually gained some confidence, and he is no longer as timid as he was at the beginning. This throne originally fell to him by accident, but now that he is slowly sitting in a stable position, what is he afraid of as the lord of the world?
"Taking a step back, even if the minister brings Li Jicai back, what if she doesn't want to?"
"I wouldn't be reluctant to see her."
"The minister thinks that if His Majesty asks her to give up her hard-won official position at this time, it will be a little difficult for a strong man."
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that she is still nostalgic for being that petty official? If she comes to Yan Kingdom, she can do whatever she wants. ”
"Your Majesty's nepotism, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world?"
"I'm the emperor, who dare to see me?!"
"The minister disagrees, according to the minister's opinion, Li Jicai has a lot of potential to enter the court of the Chu State, and even make contributions to a higher position, why not wait for her to grow up?"
"I'm worried that she will be bullied in the Chu Congress."
"Someone blesses, Your Majesty don't worry."
Yan Chengli thought about it for a while, and finally understood, it turned out that Luo Shu had already made a decision in his heart, and his opinion was not important at all.
So what else is he talking about so much? What else do you have to go through him? And what is he going to do?
A layer of annoyance appeared on Yan Chengli's face, and his expression was even more displeased.
"Your Majesty, for now, you better take care of yourself." Luo Shu's words were almost rude, and he didn't salute or say hello, he just turned around and walked outside.
Yan Chengli wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but after frowning and waiting for a while, he didn't open his mouth, so he let Luo Shu leave, thinking that this was a deliberate temptation by Luo Shu?
After all, in Luo Shu's eyes, he is very weak.
The ability to protect oneself is not very sufficient, so I want to protect others. It's not right to act rashly, but you can't just watch it, right?
What did Luo Shu arrange in Chu State, why didn't he want to tell him clearly, if Luo Shu had any arrangements in Chu State, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
The terrible thing about Vena is here, there are many things that he arranged quietly, and many people have quietly disappeared under his silent influence.
The reason why Yan Chengli was able to sit firmly in the position of this monarch was indeed relying on Luo Shu step by step, which he could not deny.
It's just that Yan Chengli thinks that Luo Shu adheres to the will of the emperor, and helping him is just a matter of being entrusted by others and being loyal.
Luo Shu doesn't owe him, and it's not impossible for Luo Shu's means to kick him down and ascend to the throne himself.
But who knows, who knows what he thinks.
Maybe all the arrangements are set by themselves.
I can only hope that Li Jicai and her alone can do well in Chu State, and when the right time comes, when he is a little stronger, he will protect her, and he will go to pick her up and take her to his side.
Yan Chengli could only comfort himself like this, in comparison, his days as emperor here were not as good as when he was Li Jiye, he was much happier, and he didn't have to take on too much responsibility, and he didn't have to worry that someone would murder him, and he didn't have to learn these imperial tricks all day long.
There must be gains in everything, one wrong step, one wrong step.
……
Sparrow's tongue
It's getting closer to late spring.
This warm and suitable day is always very nostalgic.
In April, the mulberry leaves have grown, and it is time to raise silkworms.
Li Jicai naturally couldn't miss this important part of farming.
Qi Qingchu previously said: ""Xia Xiaozheng": March ...... Tsusang,...... The concubine is the first silkworm. "When it's time to trim the mulberry tree, it's naturally time to raise silkworms.
There are many agricultural books about the method of raising silkworms. "The Book of Victory", "Qi Min's Technique", "Qin Guan Silkworm Book" and so on.
Qi Qingchu didn't involve these books, but because Li Jicai is now a farmer, he sometimes helps Li Jicai pay more attention to these.
Li Jicai did what he should do in his part, followed those women to prepare silkworm seeds, selected good silkworms, selected good mulberry leaves, and provided a comfortable environment for silkworms, so that later the prevention and control of silkworm diseases.
Li Jicai participated in one of the processes throughout the process, and his whole body and mind were on it, and he no longer paid so much attention to some virtuous things.
And gradually she has become accustomed to it, Qi Qingchu came to his house on time to teach her.
Although they all came at night, like a thief, Qi Qingchu had never behaved rudely to her since that illness.
And the last time, in fact, it happened when Qi Qingchu was delirious, so when the two met later, neither of them mentioned this matter again, and no one was embarrassed to say anything more.
Quan regarded it as a misunderstanding, and Li Jicai was not very willing to face it.
Tonight, Qi Qingchu is coming over again.
The content of his lectures has reached the fourth chapter, and they all start with the most basic content.
From spring to summer to autumn to winter, everything is detailed about what to plant, when to plant, when to harvest, when to do follow-up maintenance work, and when to prepare for it.
Li Jicai even felt that Qi Qingchu might really be born as a peasant official, rather than a halfway way out like her.
Then, Qi Qingchu began to introduce Li Jicai to the use of various agricultural tools, although there were no actual tools in hand, but Qi Qingchu would draw all kinds of patterns on the paper in advance, and then explain to her the same, and then asked Li Jicai to pay attention to the next day when he went to the field with those farmers.
Only by combining theory with practice can we play a greater role. Li Jicai also affirmed him.
In the previous chapter, we talked about pests and diseases, but Qi Qingchu didn't have a very comprehensive understanding of the methods of prevention and control, so he studied them carefully at home in the past few days before he came to teach Li Jicai a lesson.
I have to say that really, very considerate and attentive.
In the days when there were no classes, Li Jicai did his job conscientiously and wholeheartedly, and from time to time he encountered something, and when he came back, he would complain to Jasper Biluo and them.
For example, when it comes to feeding silkworms, she has a lot of things she wants to talk to Qi Qingchu.
Although it is a small place, there is everything that should be there, and the Four Princes' Mansion will also be transported if there is none.
After a period of time, Li Jicai felt that he had gained a lot of weight. Or under the careful care of Jasper Biluo.
After a few days of good mood and a few days of good weather, the sky at night became wonderful.
The sparse stars, hanging high in the sky, the bright and beautiful moon, picking up the wine glass, inviting it to drink, the taste has become extraordinary.
Although the wine brewed by the farmer's sister-in-law is not as mellow and fragrant as that made by the craftsman, it is sweet and greasy, and she doesn't feel tired of drinking it.
Of course, it would be better to have another plate of peanuts, Jasper didn't eat too much, and didn't drink too much, for fear that Li Jicai would not be comfortable accumulating food at night and would not sleep well.
Because of the relationship between classes, Li Jicai often sleeps late, and the dark circles under his eyes can't go down.
The anxious Biyu is trying to get some things to calm his nerves and help him sleep every day to feed Li Jicai, and these things are also some big supplements.
Li Jicai has bitterness in his heart and can't say it.
At the third pole of the sun, Qi Qingchu finally came as promised.
Every time, every time he knocked on the door gently, even if he had already been mentally prepared, there would still be abnormal agitation and nervousness in his heart.
Try to remind yourself every time, don't let those complicated thoughts control her, and treat her as a person who doesn't use it for nothing, and treat it as a ......
"Ahem, I have wine here, peach blossom brewing, do you want to drink it?" Li Jicai turned around with his wine glass and said with a smile to Qi Qingchu, who was standing at the door.
Behind the smile was her embarrassment, as well as a slight sense of unease.
"Hmm." Qi Qingchu answered softly, and then walked to the position closest to the door next to the table as usual, and sat down.
He was also used to inviting him to drink or invite him to eat something every time he came over.
"Have you eaten? Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is not so good. ”
"I used it."
Li Jicai nodded, then walked to the table, pinched the delicate orchid porcelain cup, and then picked up the wine jug with his other hand and poured a glass gently.
This set of orchid porcelain tea sets was just brought back from the palace by Biyu two days ago, just because Li Jicai said that the tea sets at home are not very good-looking, so she kept an eye on it.
"Drink and see? This is a new brew made by the sister-in-law in the village this year, I think it is very delicious, and the sister-in-law gave me a cup. ”
"It seems that you have a good relationship with the people in this village."
"Well, yes, but this village is really small and simple, and it doesn't even have a name called Sparrow's Tongue."
"According to your description, the villagers here should be self-sufficient, live and work in peace and contentment, and don't have to worry too much about things."
"That's right." Li Jicai's eyes flickered a little, looking at Qi Qingchu, who was dressed in black for ten thousand years, and didn't even embroider any lines on his body, he suddenly said thoughtlessly: "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine?" ”
This sentence has a half-joking, half-serious meaning.
Qi Qingchu raised her head and saw Li Jicai's eyes shining with a smile, and she didn't know what to think, so she directly pulled her arm.
Li Jicai exclaimed in surprise and fell into the crook of Qi Qingchu's arm.
Then, the wine glass that was originally on Qi Qingchu's lips was handed to Li Jicai's lips.
