Chapter 536: Change
"Wechen has a blood-invigorating ointment there, if the mother doesn't dislike it, Wechen will order someone to go back and get it." A seven or eight-year-old child can have such self-control, Yu Xiaocao admires it and feels a little sorry for that child.
The queen mother knew her ability to dispense medicine, and the smile on her face was even stronger, and she said: "If you don't say it, this palace will also be cheeky to ask for some medicine for the emperor, those quacks in the hospital...... Ahem, those drugs that are too medical are sometimes too conservative, and the effect is relatively slow......"
"Mother, mother!!" A clear children's voice came from outside the palace gate, revealing a deep joy, "I heard that Sister Yu has entered the palace, is it true?" ”
The queen mother pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Xiaocao: "I just praised him in front of you for being a lot more stable, and I immediately gave the palace a slap in the face." ”
The word "slap in the face" was mentioned by the emperor when he was with her in private, and she specially asked about the meaning, and now she has come to learn and use it.
"Children, by nature, it's better to be lively! His Royal Highness sometimes acts more seriously than Wei Chen, and he shows his energetic side in front of you. Yu Xiaocao had no resistance to children, and when she heard the voice of the eldest prince, the smile on the corner of her mouth bloomed when she didn't even realize it.
Seeing this, the queen's eyes became more sincere. As long as you have a sincere heart, you can exchange sincere friendship after all.
"Sister Yu, it's really you! I thought it was Xiao Zhuozi's slave who lied to me! Zhu Hanwen's intimate attitude and affectionate title made Xiaocao feel flattered.
She hurriedly stood up, bowed to His Royal Highness, and said, "Your Highness, you must not call it that, Weichen can't stand it!" ”
The queen mother pulled her to sit down and said, "You! It's just that you were taught to be 'bad' by your godmother, what can't you stand it? You saved his life twice, and you are a few years older than him, so why not call you a sister? I remember when he was young, his father asked him if he wanted his mother to give him a younger brother or a younger sister? You know how he answered? ”
"Queen Mother!" Zhu Hanwen didn't follow it, and the queen mother made fun of his previous troubles.
Seeing the angry appearance of the eldest prince, Xiaocao asked with a little curiosity, "How did His Highness answer?" ”
The queen mother ignored the emperor's obstruction and said with a smile: "He said that he hopes that this palace will give him a sister." Because of other people's sisters, she remembers to leave a copy for her younger brother of any delicious food, and she will embroider a beautiful purse for her younger brother. My sister is gentle and careful, and he wants a sister like this. ”
"Queen Mother's ......" Zhu Hanwen looked helpless, elongated his bun face, and made a copy of the baby's appearance. Sister Xiaocao is the "idol" in his heart, and the queen mother actually "hacked" him in front of her, so embarrassed! I don't have a face to see people!
"Children's fairy tales are sometimes quite unexpected. When my little brother was a child, he didn't make jokes. I remember one time, he came back from pinching a meaty caterpillar from the vegetable patch. I saw the caterpillar wriggling in his palm, and his hair was about to stand on end! But seeing that he was in high spirits and playing with the caterpillar, and could not order him to throw it away, she said to him, 'Stone, the caterpillar's mother will be anxious if she can't find it!' 'Guess what's wrong with him?' Yu Xiaocao saw that His Royal Highness listened to the little appearance with relish, so he sold it.
Zhu Hanwen immediately said, "Your brother immediately released the caterpillar?" ”
Yu Xiaocao pretended to let out a long sigh and said, "He, run back to the vegetable garden." I thought he was going to release the caterpillar, but after a while, he came in again, with a bigger caterpillar in his palm, and said to me with a smug face: 'Sister, you see, I have brought the worm's mother's mother!' ’”
The queen and the mother were so amused that they "giggled" and laughed, and Yu Xiaocao told a few things about the younger brother when he was a child, but he didn't expect the eldest prince to have a strong interest in this young man Xiucai, who was not a few years older than him. A few years later, the eldest prince, who had become the emperor, often teased his right-hand man with these things, the small stone that was already in the official residence.
After accompanying the mother and son to finish the imperial meal, Yingchun, who went back to get the plaster, had returned. Xiao Zhuozi led the master to the side hall and applied ointment to Zhu Hanwen. I don't know if it's the psychological effect, or the effect of the ointment has a miraculous effect, after applying it, Zhu Hanwen felt that the two hot arms were suddenly replaced by a coolness.
When I went to practice riding and archery again in the afternoon, my sore arm was gone. When he was even archery, he played extraordinarily and was praised by the master of mounted archery. The little guy has admired Yu Xiaocao more since then, and Sister Yu has been talking about it all day long, and even the queen is a little jealous.
Yu Xiaocao was crowned the county lord because of his meritorious service in saving His Royal Highness, although his official position has not changed, and he was rewarded with a lot of good things, many of which are the private collections of the queen's mother, and its preciousness can be seen.
The ladies in Beijing are only greedy, and they can only say sour words secretly behind their backs, and they have to flatter them on the surface. After all, they are now in favor of the saints, and they are in charge of the lifeblood of vegetables and fruits in the autumn and winter of the entire capital. They won't be as white-eyed as the ladies of Li Shilang's family last year, and they will cause trouble for their own family.
In the autumn of this year, tens of thousands of acres of experimental fields have obtained a bumper harvest of corn, and the yield is slightly higher than last year. However, this is only the yield of the test plot. The peasants who planted corn in the spring kept their own seeds, but the autumn corn harvested three or four hundred catties less than that of the experimental field, although the yield per mu of land also reached more than 1,000 catties, but it was nearly one-fifth less than in the spring.
Yu Xiaocao, who got the data, was also a little worried. The seeds impregnated with the aura of the small mending stone have a high yield, and there is no doubt about it. However, as she had predicted, as the seeds multiplied from generation to generation, the amount of spiritual power preserved would become thinner and thinner from generation to generation, and the yield would also decrease.
If this phenomenon can't be overcome, when the merits of the Little Mending Heaven Stone are completed and it returns to the world where it is, will everything return to the original point? For her, it is imperative to nurture truly productive seeds.
The little mending stone that had the same heart as her rolled her eyes, feeling that her worries were unnecessary. When its mana has recovered, it is easy to get a few high-yield spirit seeds. Perhaps, it can also steal the new varieties bred by Lingzu Niangniang, that is called high yield, that is called health, eat to ensure longevity, everyone lives over a hundred years old! People in the mortal world are really rare and weird!!
After the winter wheat was planted, the greenhouse vegetables were planted vigorously. In addition to Huangzhuang, the Zhuangzi of Zhu Junyang in the surrounding area, the Zhuangzi of King Jing's Mansion, and the Zhuangzi under the name of King Sa, all made greenhouse vegetables and melons and fruits under the guidance of Xiaocao. Of course, they hold their own elders, and they will not take advantage of Xiaocao, a junior, and Xiaocao accounts for 20% of the income of the greenhouse on each Zhuangzi.
Due to the large number of greenhouses planted this year, not only can supply the vegetables and fruits of the entire capital, but also the surrounding prefectures and counties, regardless of the long distance, come to the capital to purchase fresh vegetables. Perhaps because of the low temperature in autumn and winter, the greenhouse vegetables are stored for nearly twice as long as the vegetables at other times, and they are not afraid of being eaten at home and spoiled.
Whether the Huangzhuang is in charge of the experimental field, orchard or greenhouse, it is becoming more and more mature. Although this year's experimental fields have been extended to various villages around the capital, the officials of the household department stationed in Huangzhuang and the original managers of Huangzhuang have been able to take the lead and keep the experimental fields in good order. Yu Xiaocao, a farmer who was promoted to the county lord, only needed to work small mending stones to release spiritual energy from the seeds, or occasionally inspect various villages.
With last year's success and experience, those vegetable farmers who have made a lot of money are more energetic. Although there are two more Zhuangzi greenhouses, it doesn't make Xiaocao spend much effort, and her small life is quite leisurely.
As soon as the month of Layue, the farmers have entered the season of cat winter, Xiaocao also spontaneously gave himself a winter vacation, and asked his direct boss the emperor, in the envious eyes of a cadre and household colleagues, packed up his bags and returned to his hometown. This year's Spring Festival, she plans to go back to Dongshan Village for the Spring Festival. Xiaocao, who hasn't been reunited with her family for a long time, misses her father and mother and the old folks in the village.
When passing by Fucheng, Yu Xiaocao took Yingchun and Wutong and turned into his own pickled vegetable shop and pickle shop.
Many of her maids can take charge on their own: Cherry is in charge of a pharmaceutical workshop in Beijing, which has doubled in size, and is the big boss of the surrounding pharmacies.
Yangliu's pastry shop has opened branches in the east, south and north of the city, and has also launched exquisite gift boxes, which have now become the hottest souvenirs in Beijing. It was a busy time a year ago, and even when she came back, Yang Liu didn't spare time to see off her master.
He Chun's "Hua Xiangrong" beauty and health club is full almost every day, and those who do facial care and body care must make an appointment in advance, and beauty and skin care products and makeup products are in short supply. A few years ago, she planned a big reward event, and the silver and gold cards were added batch after batch, and the cashier was soft.
Xichun is stationed in Zhuangzi and takes care of the orchard, garden and greenhouse for her. In addition, I also got the true inheritance of Xiaocao, and got a fruit wine workshop at the foot of the back mountain. So far, there are not many types of fruit wine, mainly wine and pomegranate wine, but also a small amount of cider, plum wine, and date honey wine. The orchard in the back mountain of Huangzhuang has expanded more than tenfold this year, and mulberries, raspberries, citrus and other varieties have also been added. I believe that in the coming year, both fruits and fruit wine workshops will have more varieties of fruit wine!
In addition, due to the small quantity of fruit wine this year, it was not sold publicly, and only the Ministry of Internal Affairs quietly purchased most of it, and the rest was either sold or given to people with better relationships. The emperor is now rewarding the ministers, and those old courtiers don't want gold, silver, jade, silk, silk, and satin, but only hope to reward them with a bottle of fruit wine to improve their physique.
