Maybe it was the beauty in Yu Xiaocao's mouth that moved Princess Jing, or maybe Princess Jing had died of planting flowers with her own hands. The next time King Jing came to Tanggu, he was accompanied by two of the most powerful gardeners in the palace.

After the camellia moistened by the spirit stone water, it finally survived. After the two florists came, they saw that any precious camellia that could alarm the world if it was taken out was casually planted in a corner of the garden by the princess.

To grow a camellia plant, the right soil, the right temperature, the right amount of watering, the right amount of fertilization and regular pruning are all indispensable. But look at the camellia in the hands of the princess herself, the fertility of the soil is not enough; At this time, the temperature is still relatively cool in the morning and evening, and the camellia is best kept in a pot, and moved indoors in the morning and evening to keep warm; I don't know who watered it today, is it the rhythm of soaking the flower roots? This messy flower branch is probably transplanted and never repaired......

However, these "abused" camellias bloom so gorgeously and wantonly, with some unrestrained wildness in the ointment. Although it is illogical, it seems that the title of the princess's killer of flowers and plants should be taken off!

When the two florists came, a few camellias would have been greatly relieved if they had expressions—the torture in the dark could finally be over! After the careful care of the florists, the camellia finally showed all its beauty to everyone. Princess Jing lingered in the garden every day, often stopping at the camellia, staying all morning, tasting and forgetting to eat, forgetting to rest...... The degree of obsession made King Jing, who finally came over on vacation, jealous. I always muttered to my two sons behind my back: I have to find an opportunity to secretly destroy these flowers and plants, they will take too much attention from the concubine!

In order to send Liu Shangshu back from Beijing as soon as possible, Xiaocao went back to Dongshan Village the next day after Princess Jing treated the flowers and plants. The little stone also returned. So, Yu Xiaocao dictated, Xiaoshi wrote, and Yu Hai added, and soon summarized the planting method of corn and potatoes.

On the same day, Liu Shangshu, who couldn't wait for a minute, did not alarm the little county king, and came to Dongshan Village accompanied by the county commander. As soon as the planting method was bound into a thin booklet, Yu Xiaocao's family had to go to receive the senior official from Beijing, Liu Shangshu, a second-class official.

Fortunately, Liu Shangshu has no official authority, and he is just an ordinary little old man in civilian clothes. Led by Yu Hai's family, he inspected the corn growing environment. I can't believe that corn that grows so well can actually grow out of barren sandy soil. In Beijing, they use the best fertile land, the most adequate fertilizer, and the most meticulous care, but they are not as good as a piece of sandy land?

Seeing the doubt in Liu Shangshu's eyes, Yu Xiaocao said softly: "After trial planting, it has been proved that corn crops do not pick the ground, and do not serve them carefully, as long as you pay attention not to dry up and fish, and do a good job of weeding and fertilization, you can grow well!" ”

Liu Shangshu looked at the relatively large interval between the seedlings and the seedlings in the field, and couldn't help asking: "Why don't you sow more densely, in that case, isn't the yield higher?" ”

He set his eyes on Yu Hai, the head of the family present, but Yu Hai looked at his little daughter. Liu Shangshu hurriedly turned his gaze away. Yu Xiaocao thought for a while before he spoke: "My lord, look at the corn plant, similar to the coarse grain sorghum we eat, it should grow quite tall, if the sowing is too dense, I am afraid that it will affect each other, and if the contact with sunlight is not sufficient, it is estimated that the growth will not be good!" ”

Seeing that Liu Shangshu was like a problem baby and wanted to say something, Yu Xiaocao hurriedly interrupted him and said, "My lord, this is the first time we have seen corn, and the first time we planted it, it was all carried out in exploration. It's just that we have more planting experience, and most of them are based on previous experience, and the truth is not clear. Like these potatoes, they look a bit like sweet potatoes, but with some dirt on them. We tried to make it germinate, and then we cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces and buried them in the soil. I also tried to plant sweet potatoes with seedlings, but failed! ”

Liu Shangshu was interrupted by her, but he was not annoyed, listened to her words, and nodded frequently. They also grow potatoes in the same way as sweet potatoes, but unfortunately the seedlings soon die. It turned out that the potatoes were to be cut into pieces and buried in the soil!

"Little girl, can you tell me more about how these corn and potatoes are grown?" Seeing that Yu Xiaocao had a clear mind, a clear stutter, and no timidity in front of so many officials, Liu Shangshu glanced at it.

At this time, Yu Xiaocao took out the prepared booklet, the first page read "Corn and Potato Trial Planting Strategy", Liu Shangshu glanced at it, and immediately took the booklet in his hand and read it carefully.

In order to save trouble, Yu Xiaocao wrote out almost every detail of planting corn and potatoes. Originally, it was not difficult to grow corn and potatoes, as long as they were not ridiculously stupid, they should be able to be grown.

Seeing that Liu Shangshu focused all his attention on the booklet, Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but add: "The spring crops have just been sown, and if you cultivate corn and potatoes now, it shouldn't be too late......

Before her words fell, Liu Shangshu immediately took a roll of the booklet, carefully stuffed it into his arms, and said to the Yu family: "The old man will return to Beijing, so as not to delay the agricultural time!" If the corn and potatoes are really grown, and the yield is as high as the emperor said, your family can do a great good thing for the common people in the world! Don't worry, the old man will definitely ask for a reward for you in front of the emperor at that time! ”

After speaking, he said to Zhao County, who accompanied him: "Zhao County, borrow your carriage and the official service, and the old man will not return to Tanggu Town!" Please resign to the king of Yangjun for the old man! ”

As he spoke, he got into the carriage he was riding in, urged the officials who came with him, and drove the carriage directly in the direction of the capital. Zhao Xianling, who was thrown in Dongshan Village, was messy in the wind. In order to increase the chance of contact with Hubu Shangshu, he only brought a carriage over, and now the car was requisitioned by Liu Shangshu, Dongshan Village is dozens of miles away from Tanggu Town, he ...... How did he get back to town!

"Lord Zhao, if you don't dislike it, take the grass people's carriage back!" Seeing Lord Zhao's predicament, the kind-hearted Yu Hai volunteered to give him a ride. Because of his eyesight, Zhao Xianling's impression of the Yu family was a little better.

He glanced at Yu Xiaocao appreciatively and asked, "How do you know that Liu Shangshu will come to the door to inquire about planting, and he has made preparations in advance?" ”

Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "Yesterday, I went to the courtyard where Princess Jing lived, and when I saw the little county king, he chatted with the folk girl for a few words, and mentioned Liu Shangshu's visit to Tang Ancient Town a little. ”

Zhao Xianling's originally slightly casual expression became solemn. can casually enter and leave the courtyard where Princess Jing is recuperating, and can also let King Yangjun, who is as cold as gold, chat with her. It seems that this little girl is not just a daughter of Master Fang. It seems that this Yu family should not be underestimated!

Yu Xiaocao didn't expect that his casual words would make the parents of Tanggu Town treat their own family differently from then on. This is a windfall!

Taking advantage of the fact that his father went to deliver Zhao County's order, Yu Xiaocao quietly returned to his house and turned out the newly made shark skin water from the bottom of the wardrobe. After thinking about it, wrapped it in a piece of flower cloth, held it in his arms, and was about to go out, Liu's family, who was cleaning up the vegetable garden in the courtyard next door, shouted at her from a distance and asked, "Cao'er?" You're not going back to town today, are you? How many days can you stay at home? ”

Hearing her expectation from Liu's voice, Yu Xiaocao's nose was a little sour, and she replied loudly: "Mother, I can stay at home for a few more days this time!" Spend time with you and Dad at home! ”

Hearing this, Liu's heart was very happy, but he had to think about his daughter: "Cao'er, my own father, what do you say to accompany or not!" Your godmother can't live without people, I think you'd better go back earlier, right? ”

Yu Xiaocao stood at the moon gate connecting the two courtyards, hid the cloth bag containing the shark water behind him, looked at the Liu family who was working hard in the vegetable field with a smile, and said, "Mother, don't you worry?" I have prepared the medicinal diet, and in the past half a month, Lan Xiang has almost learned the medicinal diet. It was my godmother who asked me to stay at home for a few more days! ”

"Okay, let's stay at home for a few more days without delay! Coral has asked me how many times when you will come back, and you can go to the next door to play with her! Linglong, that girl, it's time to get married in winter, and it's not so easy to meet again in the future! ”

The days have passed so fast, it has been a year and a half since the separation, and the day of Linglong's marriage, which has long been set for family affairs, is approaching. The sister-in-law of the Zhou family always shows a reluctant expression from time to time these days. is also, the daughter who has been raised by herself for more than ten years is about to become someone else's family, so how can a mother give up.

Fortunately, my daughter is still young, and it will take several years for my in-laws! But think about it, it's only been five or six years, and her two daughters, if they marry at the same time, they won't want her to die! When my daughter is older, how can I not talk about others? Don't be poked in the back? Alas! If she had a choice, she would rather have only a son than a daughter!

Liu's mood, Yu Xiaocao didn't understand it at all. After chatting with Liu Shi a few more times, she made an excuse and came out. Picking up the route with few people all the way, I came to the excellent area of catching the sea that only the Yu family knew. That is, the reef that picked up the little county king.

I found a secret place, put on shark skin, and made shark skin like a swimming cap, and put all my hair inside. The water of shark skin is good by waterproofing, and it also has a certain warmth function, but after all, it is only April, even if it is in the afternoon, the sea water is a little cool.

After Yu Xiaocao did a set of warm-up exercises on the reef, he carefully put his feet into the seawater and retracted them in an instant. The sea is really cold! What to do?
