Chapter 170: Hidden in Sugar

Zhuang Rou took the burden back to the room, folded all the snacks, first grabbed a handful of dried fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, and ate a piece of flower shortbread, and suddenly found a small jar.

"Huh, stir the sugar?" Curious, she opened the seal and found that it was golden maltose, which was a troublesome thing to eat, and she had to find two small sticks.

Accidentally got some sugar on her hand, Zhuang Rou took her finger into her mouth and licked it, and just wanted to cover the maltose, her hand stopped.

She noticed that there seemed to be something in the sugar, but she couldn't see it clearly, and the inside of the jar was too dark.

So Zhuang Rou washed her hands, put her fingers in and took out a small ball sealed with wax from inside. She subconsciously looked around, and the windows were wide open and there was no one in the room.

She was a little confused, Zhuang Xuewen had never given her this kind of thing, and it must be something that no one could know.

So, she put her hand in the pile of snacks and crushed the wax ball, and a stone the size of a fingernail fell out of it.

"What's that?" Zhuang Rou picked it up inexplicably, and recognized it after a closer look, iron ore!

She couldn't understand at all, what was her brother doing by putting such a small amount of iron ore into the wax ball, so carefully for himself? I should want to help do something by myself, but there is no mine in Hongzhou at all!

Hongzhou has no special output, and the planting is not outstanding, it is a mediocre state and county, and it is good to ensure that the people in the state have food.

If there could be an iron mine, it would be great, at least it would be more prosperous than it is now. Iron ore can only be mined by people sent by the imperial court, but miners can find the common people, so that idle people can have work.

Iron ingots released from the government are also the main material for making agricultural tools and other things, and there will be more and more trade routes.

Since it is what my brother wants, then help him find it, Zhuang Rou thought about it and put this small iron ore into the mezzanine of the purse, saving it from being mixed with broken silver.

Then she sat down and ate her snacks, which had been running on the road for two days, and some of them would go bad if they didn't eat. The things that my brother specially sent must be eaten in order to do it, if it is broken...... It's okay to give it to the little king.

Zhuang Rou didn't eat dinner, she sat in the house and ate snacks, and drank a few pots of tea, almost so sweet that she lost her teeth. Thanks to those pots of tea, she wouldn't have been able to eat it at all.

"What, she's still eating snacks there, she's such a heartless guy." Chu Xia heard that Xiao Ran came to report, Zhuang Rou ate a day's snacks, and only thought she was a fool.

After thinking about it, he muttered again, "Why don't I have a sister, my mother should have another one." ”

Xiao Ran said coldly beside him: "My lord, they are just cousins, and you also have many cousins. ”

Chu Xia's face was suddenly full of disgust, those guys who just wanted to climb the high branches by themselves, who wanted them to be sisters, "Those are so stupid, they can't even speak when they see me, what's the use." ”

"My lord, you can just treat her as a sister." Hua Yulou has been silent since he finished reading the book in his hand, no matter how romantic he is, he doesn't want to read the little yellow book to others, and now he finally wants to speak.

However, the eyes that came over from Chu Xia were full of the look that you are a fool, "Little Huahua, I want my sister who looks as cute and beautiful as me, rather than her kind." ”

Hua Yulou nodded with deep understanding, and added, "My lord, can you not call me Xiaohuahua?" ”

"Don't." Chu Xia smiled, took another book from the desk and threw it over, "Come on, read this book again." ”

Hua Yulou took the book and looked at "The Secret of the East Wing", which was this kind of book again. Obviously still a chick, but there are so many little yellow books, don't you read the dossier on weekdays, are you just reading this kind of thing?

And it's too fake in it, it's completely different from the real thing, I know what it's like, but I still have to read him this kind of fake thing!

Yun Fan, Yun Fan, I'm all for you this time......

After slandering in his heart for a long time, Hua Yulou took a breath and said, "My lord, why don't we go to Shuiyue Pavilion at night, we can't just read these scripts." ”

Chu Xia sat up straight excitedly, "Okay! All right! ”

"My lord, the eldest princess won't let you go to this kind of place." Xiao Ran was very disappointed and poured cold water on his head.

Chu Xia suddenly bent down in frustration, and listlessly supported his head with his hands and said, "Little Huahua, keep reading." ”

What is this called!

Hua Yulou really didn't want to miss this kind of thing, he tried to say: "My lord, as long as the people below shut up, it is impossible for the eldest princess to know where you have been." ”

"He's not going to shut up, he's going to say it." Chu Xia pointed at Xiao Ran and said, "I went there last time, and I didn't do anything, so I just sat there and drank a glass of wine and listened to half of the piano, and the Qinglou was smashed." ”

"Everyone was arrested and tortured in prison for a month, and finally I begged to be released, and no shop dared to let me in."

He raised his head with a helpless face, "I can't always harm others, after all, those girls are also full of fun, it's not good to watch them being beaten to death." ”

Hua Yulou looked at him speechlessly, the eldest princess was so cruel, it was too exaggerated to care about her son.

But this trick is true, even if he dares to go, people will only block the door and kneel down to ask him to go back.

"Okay, I'll read one more paragraph, and I'll rest first. The subordinates' mouths are dry and irritable, and they can't move anymore. Hua Yulou had to pick up the notebook and turn the first page, the picture on it was so bad that it was so spicy to his eyes.

"It is said that there is an official girl in the capital, beautiful as a fairy......" Hua Yulou's unique and charming voice came out of the breeze, and even the guards at the door could hear it.

Chu Xia pursed his lips and smiled, this Hua Yulou's voice reading this little script is really very suitable. Such a wonderful person, if you break your legs and stay in the house to read a book for yourself, it will be good.

Pity......

Hua Yulou just raised his eyes, and saw Chu Xia showing a smile, looking at him listening seriously, his eyes were extremely simple. He retracted his gaze and stared at the words in the book, he really couldn't be sure of Chu Xia's details.

Anyway, there is time, so it's better to take your time.

Originally, I would not read it anymore today, but after dinner, Chu Xia called Hua Yulou over again, and took out the wine and hotter words in the evening.

Hua Yulou felt that the king of Yinde County was really pitiful, what was this suppressed into, so he read a small book all night away from drunkenness, and Zhuang Rou, who was noisy across the wall, threw a few stones at them.

When it was early in the morning, it was replaced by the sound of smashing things from Zhuang Rou's side, which woke up Chu Xia, who never got up early. When asked what she was doing, Yang Qing reported that she was smashing the pig's head with an iron rod.

Chu Xia heard it inexplicably, smashing the pig's head?

After a while, the sound of smashing disappeared, and he was about to go back to sleep, when he heard a strange whisper. After sending Yang Qing to see it again, I learned that she was scratching at the pig's head with gloves on, and she had made a pot of pig's head shredded meat.

"There's something wrong!" Chu Xia scolded fiercely, then fell on the bed and covered his head with the quilt, and he didn't know whether to scold Zhuang Rou or scold himself for giving her the iron hook gloves.
