Chapter 17: Zanjia
In the dark night, Ji Yao rode on a horse, and followed King Qin in a trance all the way, she not only put on shoes and socks, but also put on a Qin army armor.
"Where are we going?" Ji Yao tightened his legs and rode his horse to catch up with King Qin at the front of the team.
King Qin glanced back at Ji Yao, frowned and ordered: "You are not good at horsemanship, follow honestly." ”
Ji Yaozong is a person with a good temper, being yelled at in front of so many soldiers, he really has no face, besides, when he went out, it was obvious that he said that he wanted to ask her.
It's good now, I got her out, and I shook my cold face again.
Ji Yao whipped on the weeds on the side of the road: "Who is it?" And she stopped where she was.
King Qin was bent on riding his horse and hurrying, but he didn't have much to pay attention to Ji Yao's little temper, or the deputy general Lingyong couldn't look past it, and quietly reminded him.
King Qin glanced back at Ji Yao coldly: "You really don't want to go?" ”
Ji Yao turned his head.
"Drive!" The King of Qin continued to rein in his horse.
"This ...... The king ......" Lingyong had no choice but to follow King Qin and hurried to catch up.
Ji Yao looked at the people and horses who came out together, all of them beat the horses in front of her expressionlessly, Ji Yao's heart was like a small pebble falling into the cold lake, sinking to the bottom.
I wanted to turn around, but it was pitch black, and she didn't know the way. Get! Ji Yao didn't pretend to be hypocritical anymore, and raised his horsewhip: "Drive." ”
Life is precious, what is the gambling thing. In the dark grove, if there is a big tiger and a wild lion, then her life is not over.
King Qin rushed to the Xishan Horse Farm, only stayed on the horse for one more cup of tea, and sure enough, he heard Ji Yao's follow-up voice.
With the help of the bonfire in the racecourse, Lingyong actually saw his own king and tried his best to hold back his laughter.
"The King...... The king's concubine was wrong. As soon as Ji Yao caught up, he rushed to the king of Qin.
King Qin nodded lightly: "Follow up." ”
Ji Yao silently rolled his eyes in his heart, and then lowered his head to follow.
There was a temporary wooden shed in the backyard of the racecourse, and Ji Yao followed Qin Wangyi into it, and found that there were dozens of dustpans of all sizes in it, which contained freshly picked leaves.
Ji Yao squatted down and picked up a leaf, the light in the shed was not good, Ji Yao put it on the end of his nose and sniffed lightly, it was an orange leaf, and then a dustpan contained it, it was a pomegranate leaf, as well as ginkgo biloba leaves, maple leaves, mulberry leaves......
Ji Yao looked at the pile of leaves in front of him inexplicably, and took her out of the palace in the middle of the night, just for this.
I only listened to King Qin's words: "It's just that two hours ago, I specially ordered someone to pick it from the fruit forest in Xishan, and I thought, since persimmon leaves can make tea, what about these pomegranate leaves and orange leaves?" ”
"Of course." Ji Yao didn't think about it, he couldn't eat the dead anyway.
Under the faint moonlight, King Qin heard Ji Yao's words, and he actually showed a relieved expression. Continue asking, "What about dyed cloth?" ”
King Qin's eyes even lit up with a small beam, Ji Yao didn't dare to underestimate this matter, and replied solemnly: "Of course it's okay, the king wants to?" ”
"O Queen!" King Qin held Ji Yao's shoulder, "I want to let the queen work hard for a few days, and teach the women here to fry tea and dye cloth." ”
Ji Yao didn't expect that the first time King Qin looked at her with such a bright face, he actually begged her to work.
Although the white eyes in Ji Yao's heart were about to turn to the sky, he still nodded with a slight smile on his face, and took the opportunity to buy a good one: "As long as the king wants, the concubines can do it." It's just ......" Ji Yao was puzzled, "the leaves are all light, how can they bear fruit?" ”
King Qin turned around with his back and stared at the mountains and forests outside the window: "Xishan was originally a barren forest, and some people were moved over to reclaim it six years ago, so that there is now this big horse farm." At the same time, Gu also ordered people to plant mulberry and fruit trees in the back mountain, so that men raise horses and women pick mulberry fruits. ”
Speaking of this, King Qin's eyes dimmed, "It's a pity that Qin is windy and sandy, and there is no water source in the West Mountain, so over the years, there have only been a few sour and toothless crooked fruits on the fruit trees." The leaves you see are still the ones that the guards picked up themselves when they climbed to the top of the tree, and the ones below are either bitten by insects or withered yellow.
Before this evening, Lone also discussed with his subordinates, and tomorrow, he would cut down all the fruit trees in this area of Xishan and let them be abandoned to feed the horses. ”
Ji Yao walked to the side of King Qin and said regretfully: "It is a pity that the peasant woman has worked hard for six years to cut down the fruit trees. If it is made into tea cakes, it can be exported to foreign countries, right? Ji Yao grew up by the side of Xianhou, of course she knew that the Jin Kingdom made a year of expenses just by selling tea to various countries.
Ji Yao sneered: "So, the king came to find his concubine in the middle of the night." ”
King Qin had high hopes and said: "I have seen it with my own eyes, how capable the queen is!" ”
Ji Yao was praised for the first time, and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile, so he wanted to give full play to his skills: "King, why don't we rest here tonight, and tomorrow, let's go and see those unfruitful trees together, maybe the concubine has a way." ”
When the King of Qin heard this, he looked back, and by the moonlight, he looked at this smiling queen suspiciously, who would make a tea and weave and dye cloth, and still treat the tree?
He is not a person who arbitrarily draws conclusions, this piece of fruit trees in the West Mountain, how many local old farmers, and the witch doctor in the palace all say that there is no help.
