Chapter 430: Meet the Little Prince Again
Originally, if it were another person, Su Ran would never have paid attention to asking such a question. However, if this person is Xiaocao, Su Ran kindly reminded him: "Miss Yu, please rest assured, it shouldn't be a bad thing." ”
Feel relieved? Will she be able to put her mind at ease? Ever since the emperor guessed that she had a golden finger, she always felt that she had a knife hanging from her neck, and she was in danger of falling at any time. Who knows if the emperor will have cramps one day and kill her. Alas...... It seems that the low profile is not enough!
By the way, where are you keeping a low profile? When there was no money, he made out braised vegetables, and sold a lot of recipes for roasting chicken and roast duck to others, and tossed out out-of-season vegetables and watermelons, and opened a braised vegetable shop...... This pile, piece by piece, a discerning person can know your identity at a glance, right?
"Little prince, slow down and be careful of falling." I don't know which Gong'e's voice came from behind the flowers not far away. Then there was a sound of shredded footsteps coming in the direction of the two men.
Su Ran stood still, saluted the little figure who appeared in front of the two, and said, "Say hello to the little prince!" ”
Yu Xiaocao also bowed. The little figure, perhaps running too fast, slammed into the grass before it could catch up, and was about to fall to her lap. Xiaocao hurriedly straightened up, bent down and held the little prince's arms with both hands, and said softly: "Be careful, don't fall!" ”
As if sensing something, the little prince, who had just stood firmly, looked up at Yu Xiaocao's eyes steadily, frowned and thought for a long time before suddenly exclaiming: "I remember you!" The last time I was sick, the sweet candy cube was made by you. You'll also make delicious seafood porridge......"
"The little prince is so smart, after so long, he can still remember the past. This kind of memory is not something that ordinary people can do! Yu Xiaocao did not hesitate to praise the words. The little brother in the family and the little Linlin in the godmother's family are all little children, and she has her own way of getting along with the children.
Sure enough, the little prince showed a slightly shy and somewhat smug expression, and suddenly pursed his lips again and said, "But, why are you not here later?" The seafood porridge made by the imperial chefs is far worse than your craftsmanship. When you enter the palace this time, do you still go out? Why don't I go and beg my father and leave you in the imperial dining room, do you say okay? ”
Yu Xiaocao glanced down at the official uniform on his body, squatted down, looked at the little prince levelly, with a soft smile on his face, and said, "The little prince wants to eat seafood porridge, and when I meet the emperor, I will help you make a pot of it." However, I still have an errand and can't go to the Imperial Dining Room. ”
"Why? You have a daughter's family, what important errand can your father give you? Wouldn't it be more dignified to serve my meals in the imperial dining room? "Born in the royal family, the little prince is familiar with it, and naturally has a sense of royal glory.
Don't think that children don't understand reason when they are young. As long as you are patient and tell him what you mean, he can still understand it. Yu Xiaocao did not and did not dare to have the slightest impatience, and said softly: "Little prince, do you know? Although Wechen's cooking skills are good, he is not the best. ”
"Oh? So what do you do best? Is it medical skills? No, the official uniform on your body is not the costume of the Imperial Medical Department? The little prince's face showed a little confusion and a little expectation. People who can make such delicious meals also say that they have better skills, so they must be even better!
Yu Xiaocao continued with a smile: "What Weichen is best at is not cooking or medical skills, but farming!" ”
"Farming? Is it just that the seeds are sprinkled in the soil, and then they grow into small seedlings, and finally produce grain? The little prince blinked with big eyes, and his expression was innocent and cute.
"Little prince, you are too smart. Do you know how to farm? ”
Yu Xiaocao's words made the little prince feel that he was very powerful, but he still said very sincerely: "My father opened a small field in the northwest corner of the imperial garden, and once took me to cultivate it together. I even helped put the seeds in the pit! At harvest time, my father gave me a small sickle and used the wheat I cut to grind the noodles and make steamed buns, which are much more delicious than the noodles I bought outside! ”
"The little prince is still helping with farming, he is really capable!" Yu Xiaocao praised and continued, "Do you know why the emperor planted wheat in the imperial garden? ”
"Know! My father said that there are many people in the world who can't eat enough. Every year, there are children about the same age as me, who either starve to death because they have no food, or are sold by their parents for food...... "The little prince is really smart, and of course he can't do without the emperor's teachings."
Yu Xiaocao nodded and said, "Yes!" In order for all the children in the world to have a full stomach, and for all the parents in the world not to be separated from their children, the emperor tried his best. Weichen is a little good at farming, and the emperor excludes public opinion and approves that I, a little girl, will be a farmer and manage all matters in the imperial village. It is to be able to cultivate high-yield seeds as soon as possible and distribute them to the hands of the people of the world. Think about it, one acre of land could produce 300 catties, and after the people paid the rent, the rest could only keep the family from starving. If the yield of one mu of land is increased to 600 catties or even 1,000 catties, what will be the situation? ”
"The common people can not only have a full stomach, but also have surplus food!" The little prince was only six or seven years old, but he followed the emperor to contact some affairs of the court, especially about agricultural affairs, the emperor sighed in front of the queen, and he remembered it in his heart, "Then now, can you grow a thousand catties of grain per acre?" ”
Yu Xiaocao shook his head lightly, and in the disappointed gaze of the little prince, he said firmly: "Weichen is working in that direction!" Little prince, you must have heard about the Zhuangzi of the Tang Gu Yu family, right? ”
"Hmmm! My father told me that the Yu family has planted 600 catties of wheat per mu, and if it can be promoted throughout the country, within three years, the people of the Ming Dynasty will have plenty of food and clothing, and the world will be stable! The Yu family is really a hero of the Ming Dynasty! The little prince's old-fashioned appearance is quite cute and funny, and Xiaocao almost reached out and pinched his face.
"Thank you little prince for the compliment! In the future, Weichen will do his best and die, and strive to plant wheat and rice with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu as soon as possible! Yu Xiaocao thanked him solemnly.
The little prince looked at her in surprise and said, "It turns out that you are the Yu family!" You have received an errand from Huangzhuang, can you guarantee that you can grow high-yield wheat in the capital? ”
"Wechen guarantees that the output is only a lot more!" Yu Xiaocao still has this confidence.
Su Ran waited quietly to the side, and when he saw that the conversation here had come to an end, he said, "Little prince, the emperor is still summoning Lord Yu to ask questions in Jinlan Pavilion......
The little prince waved his hand at Yu Xiaocao and said, "Serious business is important, you go to your father's place to listen to the errand first, right?" If you have free time another day, I will ask the queen mother to announce your entry into the palace, and then have a good chat! ”
Just to chat? Little prince, you don't have the right mouth, is it really good? If you want to eat what I made, what are you embarrassed to say? Yu Xiaocao didn't say anything, said goodbye to the little prince, followed behind Su Ran, and soon came to Jinlan Pavilion.
"Little girl, you are such a big shelf, let me wait!" Zhu Junfan looked at Yu Xiaocao with a smile, and the water on the tandoor was steaming. With his slender hand, he gently picked up the purple clay pot and poured it into the cup......
The chief manager of Su Ran took the purple clay pot in the emperor's hand, and the posture of making tea was pleasing to the eye, and his voice was like a clear spring: "I just entered the imperial garden, and I met the little prince, and I was delayed for a while." ”
After recovering from the illness, her health was much better. This is thanks to Lord Yu! Zhu Junfan picked up the purple clay plate dragon cup, gently blew off the tea leaves on it, took a sip, and shook his head lightly. Even the best big red robe can't brew the taste of wild tea in the hands of the little girl. Could it be that this is also the credit of the Heavenly Stone on her wrist? Thinking so, his gaze couldn't help but glance at the multicolored stone on Yu Xiaocao's wrist.
Keenly aware of his gaze, Xiaocao put his hands behind his back, with a smirk, and said flatteringly: "The little prince is blessed with noble people, even if there is no Weichen, the illness will be cured." It's just that I have suffered less from the sin of drinking bitter medicine. Wechen didn't dare to take credit. ”
"Just avoiding the pain of drinking medicine is a great merit. At the time of the illness, Wei'er talked to you more than once, and argued with his queen mother that all the imperial doctors in the palace together could not compare to your medical skills. Zhu Junfan put down the teacup in his hand, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
Xiaocao laughed twice and said, "The little prince praises falsely, Weichen can't afford it!" Doesn't this offend all the doctors in the Imperial Physician's Department? In the future, if Weichen has a headache and brain fever, how can it be done! ”
Su Ran glanced at her and said in her heart: Miss Yu, you are too sincere. Even if you think like this in your heart, you can't say it explicitly! Are you complaining that the little prince is causing trouble for you? Also, just because of your six-grade petty official, you are really not qualified to invite the imperial doctor to go to the house to treat you. Unless...... The emperor is gracious.
Zhu Junfan pulled Su Ran back, beckoned to her, pointed to the purple clay pot and said, "With your medicinal skills, why do you need to ask for a doctor for minor illnesses and disasters?" Too humble, right? ”
Don't allow Xiaocao to open his mouth and say a few words of humility, and continued: "Since I drank the tea you brewed in Dongshan Village, these tea leaves in the palace seem to have lost their taste. Come, make me a cup of tea and let me taste your craft. ”
Yu Xiaocao resigned herself to picking up the purple clay pot, opened the lid and tested the temperature with her hand, and said: "This tea, you can't use too hot water, about 80 degrees is just right." The first time is to wash the tea, and the third and fourth brews are the best taste. ”
She also didn't know much about the tea ceremony, so she clumsily washed the tea, poured another cup for the emperor, and motioned him to taste it.
Zhu Junfan took a sip, frowned, and said, "Are you fooling me?" I want to drink tea like the one in Dongshan Village! "Do you really think he asked her to perform a tea ceremony? Grab a little eunuch in the palace at random, and your tea making skills are more professional than yours. It's really unteachable!
