Chapter 791: Sweet Potato
But Yu Wenchu didn't dare to say this, he pretended to smile at Zhuang Zhuang and said: "Your mother is right, it's my father's negligence, let's go outside for a walk first, and then go horseback riding, okay?" ”
Then she can't object, right?
Mingzhu really didn't object anymore, smiled, got up and saluted: "Concubine to send His Royal Highness." ”
Yu Wenchu's face was slightly dark, and he immediately squeezed out a smile at Zhuangzhuang's puzzled eyes: "Aren't you going along?" ”
Mingzhu shook his head: "The rice grains haven't eaten well yet, this kid is a picky eater, if he doesn't care about it now, it will be very troublesome in the future." Your Highness rarely has time to come back and have some fun. ”
Yu Wenchu walked away unhappily with Zhuangzhuang.
Mingzhu gently coaxed Mi Li'er to eat her share of the meal, and her expression was as usual, calm and gentle. Dong Hui and the others could see that she was holding her breath with Yu Wenchu, but her impeccable attitude made it impossible to persuade her.
Mama Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Princess, the bottle of pu wine hasn't been moved yet, do you want to take it back?" ”
Mingzhu didn't raise his head and said, "Put it away." ”
Mi Li'er was full of food, leaning on Mingzhu's arms to take a nap, Mingzhu asked the nurse to carry her down, let people clean up the house, and went to the small flower hall to the director. During this time, the expenses were more than usual, because of the drought, prices skyrocketed, and the children in the Shan Tang were growing up, so just eating was a big expense.
Mingzhu instructed Li Bochun: "I asked, sweet potatoes are drought and waterlogging resistant, and now it's just in time for summer potatoes, find a way to plant a batch, and there will be food this autumn and winter and next spring, and sweet potato leaves can also be fed to pigs, not wasted at all." ”
Li Bochun was very happy: "When did the princess inquire?" ”
Mingzhu said with a smile: "There are so many people under my hands who want to eat, and I am worried about the ...... of food when the weather is bad" and took a drawing to Li Bochun to see: "The land has also been selected, there is a water source and sloping land over there in Daguan, and it happens to be planted in a large area over there, and a few deep wells can be drilled in these places, plus those transported from other places, it is basically enough." I have also found the head of the village, and he will teach them how to plant. ”
Li Bochun said: "It just so happens that some people are ignorant recently, thinking that this food is easy to use, and they are picky. This time, let them farm and grind by themselves, otherwise they won't know how to cherish it. ”
A few stewards gave advice and advice, Mingzhu listened to them one by one, and simply made corresponding adjustments, and the stewards whispered with great satisfaction and retreated. Then Zhou and Ping, the two female historians and Li Xinxin and others came in to pay respects, Mingzhu skillfully handled the housework, stood up and loosened his muscles, and saw that the sky was already dark, so he asked: "Hasn't Your Highness sent Zhuang Zhuang back?" ”
Su Lan gave her a look, and she saw Yu Wenchu sitting alone in the corner of the flower hall reading by candlelight. Sensing her gaze, Yu Wenchu put down the book, raised his head and looked at her: "Zhuang Zhuang is asleep, I sent him to the nurse, are you busy?" ”
Mingzhu glanced at the book in his hand and found that it was the Nongsang Jiyao she was reading these days, so she asked him, "When did His Highness come back?" Why don't you call me? ”
Yu Wenchu's eyes lit up, and he said gently: "I'll come back when you talk about how to grow sweet potatoes." You're busy with all this all day, huh? ”
Mingzhu felt that his sentence "You are busy with this all day" was a bit harsh, so she said very gently: "The concubine is not as good as His Royal Highness, and she has no great talent, so she can only try her best to do these little things well." ”
She smiled so softly, and her tone was very sincere, but the whole person was fake. Yu Wenchu looked at her silently for a while, and said, "It's not a trivial matter, I think it's good, you are becoming more and more capable, and you have inadvertently helped me a lot." Now the time is right, and replanting a season of summer potatoes can reduce the starvation of many people. It's really good. ”
He praised her from the bottom of his heart, the serious and capable Fu Mingzhu was very attractive, he was sitting here just now, watching her handle everything in an orderly manner, the string in his heart was plucked again and again, faintly proud of her, and at the same time a little unwanted.
Mingzhu disagreed: "There are so many capable people under His Royal Highness, how could he not think of planting sweet potatoes?" It's just that everyone is focused on the war, so they ignore a lot of the most fundamental things. ”
Yu Wenchu smiled: "Just now I took Zhuang Zhuang to ride a horse in the martial arts arena, thinking about a lot of things, it is true that as you said, I paid too much attention to the things of the war during this time, and ignored many of the most fundamental and important things. For example, he only thought that he had lost his face, for fear that Mingzhu would be angry with him, and plead with him, and he held his breath and wanted to turn the tide and quickly handle things properly, but he didn't think of Mingzhu and the children's feelings, so Mingzhu was angry with him, and Mi Li'er didn't recognize him, which was normal.
Mingzhu finally accepted the pretense, but he didn't follow Yu Wenchu's words, but held his face seriously and didn't say a word.
Yuwen first saw that she had no intention of telling him about this, so he said seriously: "For example, in this war, the most important thing is the people's heart, they spread rumors and make trouble, and they also use the bad weather to make trouble because everyone will be hungry." Therefore, as long as I solve the people's livelihood, fight against strong enemies, and grasp both sides, all the difficulties will be solved. It's not that your sweet potatoes solve a big problem, but thank you for waking me up. Also, you handled that nursery rhyme thing so well, I should really give you a military advisor to do it. ”
Shameless, I've never seen a tout touted so explicit and fake. Mingzhu couldn't help but glance at him: "Can't Mr. Meng think of it?" It would probably be better for His Highness to deal with it himself, right? I'm just getting ahead of the curve. She paused and said, "After all, we are in the same boat." ”
"That's not necessarily, that old man often makes stupid mistakes, and I will also make stupid mistakes, and I will drill the horns of the bull, after all, I am not a saint." Yuwen Chu felt that she could not say the latter sentence at all, but it was rare to see her willing to give him this look, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be angry with me, okay?" ”
Mingzhu pouted: "I didn't, but I hope Your Highness won't be angry with me and spare Wei Tiande's audacity." He was just angry that I was being laughed at. ”
Yu Wenchu took her hand and smiled beggingly: "It's really stingy, I've always remembered that I didn't see you." ”
Mingzhu reddened her eyes: "No, you didn't want to see me at the time, you were in a bad mood, and you were afraid that I would be ignorant and cause trouble, I understand it, and I don't blame you." What I'm sad about is that you haven't come to see our mother for so many days, it's too ruthless. ”
