Chapter 242: Investigation

Does this girl have mind reading? He didn't say it, how did he know what he thought? Yu Xiaocao, you accidentally got the truth!

Zhu Junyang: You almost didn't have any words written on your face, no matter who looks at it, you can see it, okay?

"You live in the town these days, and if you delay the farming, you will be punished! Don't forget, you've signed a military order!! Zhu Junyang couldn't help but remind. Hey? It seems that there are more words of your own today? What's the situation?

Yu Xiaocao raised her eyebrows, her smile was full of confidence, and said, "Don't worry!" The corn has been planted for more than half a month. You're almost calf tall, aren't you, Daddy? ”

Yu Hai has to go to the corn field every day, so he naturally knows the growth of corn well. Hearing this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Mmmm! The corn leaves are now two fingers wide, and each corn plant has at least six or seven leaves, which should have entered the jointing stage! Girl, don't worry, you have a father to keep an eye on you, you can't go wrong! ”

Yu Xiaocao smiled brightly at his father, turned to Zhu Junyang and said, "Did you hear that?" Without modesty, there is no such thing as a bad thing for our family!! That's right, Dad! Have you moved the apple tree and persimmon tree that I asked me to transplant for me? ”

"Alright, alright! Apples, persimmons, and grapes have all been moved! I also found a pecan in the mountains and moved it to our yard. Yu Hai didn't agree to the little girl's request.

"Great! In the future, when the cat is winter, you can sit on the kang and eat fragrant fried pecans! Dad, you're so nice!! Yu Xiaocao pulled her father's hand and shook it coquettishly.

Yu Hai gently touched his little daughter's head, and smiled so much that the corners of his eyes came out.

Well, the father and daughter are upside down. Is it really good to leave me here as a guest? Feeling the strong family affection between father and daughter, and watching the interesting interaction between the two, Zhu Junyang was reluctant to interrupt this warm scene.

"Miss Yu likes to eat pecans? You must like sunflower seeds, right? Zhu Junyang didn't want to just be a spectator, so he couldn't help but interject.

Sunflower seeds? Already sunflower seeds at this time? That's great! In her spare time, eating melon seeds is her favorite!!

"Sunflower seeds? Do you have seeds?? Yu Xiaocao asked impatiently.

Sure enough, she knew about sunflowers! There must be some secret in the little girl of the Yu family, just follow ...... The emperor also has a secret.

Zhu Junyang's voice was cold and not cold, he nodded slowly: "Not bad!" Among the seeds I brought back from the West were sunflower seeds. I heard that the seeds of sunflowers are fried and can be eaten! You can try! ”

"Yes, yes!! Give me some seeds, and I'll try to see them! Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but be happy in her heart. Ha ha! Fortunately, she wore it to the Ming Dynasty, and fortunately, there was a predecessor who liked to go to sea to the West to find things. In the future, I will have melon seeds to eat, so happy.

Looking at the little girl's expression as if she was a cat who had stolen a small fish, Zhu Junyang's mood inexplicably improved. The most real is the most moving! Perhaps, in Tanggu Town, he doesn't need to be far from the crowd, he can also relax wholeheartedly.

There is no need to be on guard all the time, there is no need to guess all the time, such a day may be more suitable for him...... Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a touching arc - after many years, he finally found the expression of "smile" again.

"Next time I go back to Beijing, I'll have someone send you some seeds! Shouldn't it be too late, right? "If Princess Jing sees him taking the initiative to say so many things, I don't know if she is happy or jealous?

"It's not late, it's not late!" There is a spirit stone liquid cheat, and she can grow sunflowers later. I don't know how many seeds the little county king can give her, and whether it is enough to eat? Yu Xiaocao held her little face, smiling so hard that she could see two rows of white teeth, and her eyes couldn't be found!

"I want to see how the corn is growing and make a simple record." Zhu Junyang thought in his heart that he would leave the stall in the capital and go to Tang Ancient Town to hide and be idle. If the emperor asked, he would have something to say.

Yu Xiaocao, who was in a good mood, nodded and said, "Okay!" Tomorrow I will accompany the little king to the field. Don't worry, there's absolutely nothing wrong with handing over the corn to our family! ”

After making an appointment to go to Dongshan Village tomorrow, Zhu Junyang got up and said goodbye, "If you sum up a set of methods for planting corn and potatoes, I will ask for credit for you." When the time comes, the reward will be indispensable to you! ”

Although I am afraid that my identity as a traverser will be debunked by the emperor, a colleague who travels through the country, the things given by the emperor must be extraordinary. The entanglement in Yu Xiaocao's heart, whether she can take this credit or not?

The next day, the news that the prince of the county was going to deign to come to Dongshan Village had already spread like a spark in the prairie fire. The village chief got the news from Yu Hai the night before, and he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, staring at the two black circles under his eyes and hurriedly getting up. He gathered the whole village early in the morning and held a meeting. The spirit of the main meeting is to let the villagers tighten their skins and be optimistic about their cubs, so as not to collide with the nobles. and slaughtered pigs and sheep, invited all the recognized cooks in the village together, and brainstormed to prepare a table to receive nobles......

When Zhu Junyang, accompanied by the county magistrate, came to Dongshan Village, he saw the villagers of Dongshan Village enthusiastically welcoming guests from afar.

Yu Xiaocao rode the little red horse given to her by her godfather, and followed behind the little county king and the officials who accompanied her, so she didn't look leisurely. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw the village chief's grandfather leading the whole village to kneel on the ground, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly urged the little red horse to avoid it from a distance. Many of the elders in the village are hers, and if they don't avoid it, they will lose their lives.

Zhu Junyang's personal guard Wu Deshun, under the eyes of his master, hurriedly dismounted and picked up the gray-haired village chief, and said: "The county king is a micro-suit to go on patrol, there is no need to be so grand. Folks, please get up. ”

The old village chief who was helped up was so excited that he burst into tears, and said with trembling lips: "The prince of the county deigns to come, and the grass people are terrified, as it should be!" ”

After reading the book for a few years, it's just different, and when it comes to the scene, it's really like that. Yu Xiaocao climbed down from the horse and searched for his family in the crowd. found that except for the grandfather, Zhang and Yu Dashan on the other side of the mansion, their own father and mother were not here.

She quietly slipped into the crowd, came to the grandfather's side, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, have you seen my father?" ”

Yu Lichun glanced in the direction of King Yangjun, and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he whispered: "Your father and mother are waiting at your home - you take it easy, don't anger the nobles." ”

Zhu Junyang's eyes flickered, and he saw that the little girl was like a nimble squirrel, drilling around in the crowd, whispering, as if she was a kitten who wanted to steal fish. How can a person's expression be so flexible and changeable. What a funny guy! He didn't notice it himself, as long as Xiaocao appeared, his eyes couldn't help but follow her.

Yu Xiaocao squeezed out of the crowd and came to the village chief's grandfather, who had a respectful attitude, looked at Zhu Junyang with a smile, and his voice was crisp: "Little Junwang, do you want to go directly to the field, or go to my house to rest first?" ”

Wu Deshun looked at the sun, such a trivial matter as in the past does not bother the master, or he will do it for him: "Now that the sun is just right, go to the field first......"

"After riding the horse for so long, the master is a little tired...... Zhu Junyang suddenly wanted to see what kind of family raised such an eccentric little girl.

Wu Deshun hurriedly changed his words: "Miss Yu, please lead the way!" ”

Yu Xiaocao obediently walked ahead, and behind her, a red foal that had not yet grown up, followed closely behind. Zhu Junyang had the idea that the reins of the pony were not in the hands of the little girl, but obediently followed. It's a well-behaved and supple horse, just right for a little girl of her size.

Yu Xiaocao walked in the front, followed by the king of Yangjun and his entourage, followed by the newly appointed county magistrate of Tanggu County, as well as the officials of the county government, and finally the village chief and several respected old men in the village. Hula a group of people soon came to the Yu family's old house.

Zhu Junyang looked at the brand-new blue brick house, compared to the Gaomen compound in the capital, it was extremely simple. The simple courtyard house, the open courtyard, and the green brick paths in the courtyard are green and dripping vegetables on both sides......

There are no complicated buildings, no cascading pavilions, no precious flowers and trees, but there is tranquility and warmth in the simplicity, which makes it easy for people to open their minds, let go of all the heavy thoughts in their hearts, and return to the countryside and nature......

In front of the main house in the courtyard, under a peach tree in full bloom, there are several stone benches of different shapes next to the stone table carved in the shape of the stone. The cotton cushions made of various fabrics on the stool show a bit of warmth in the cold.

Yu Xiaocao looked at the formation of the people who came, and moved out all the chairs and stools in the house, which was still not enough. She scratched her head and said embarrassedly, "Otherwise...... Shall I go to Aunt Zhou's house to borrow some stools? ”

"No, no! Let's just stand! Zhao Zixuan, the newly appointed Tanggu County Commander, hurriedly spoke. Just kidding, who is there at a level equal to the prince of the county?

In the end, except for King Yangjun who was sitting, everyone else stood on his left and right. Yu Xiaocao looked a little awkward, but the ancient concept of respect and inferiority was not something that she could change as a little woman. She picked a plate of ripe tomatoes from the vegetable patch in the backyard, picked a few crispy cucumbers, cut a large watermelon stored at home, and filled the entire stone table.

Zhao Xianling looked at the cucumber that was served, and almost choked to death with saliva - he actually used cucumbers to entertain the county prince, this is too strange, right?

"After walking such a long way, let's eat some melons and fruits to quench our thirst first, right?" Yu Xiaocao took a piece of watermelon and enthusiastically handed it to the little county king. Yesterday at my godfather's house, this guy ate a lot of watermelons in a row, and booked a car, he must like to eat it, right?
