This time, I specially invited people from Zhuangzi to return to the house for my father, and the martial arts arena on our house was also well repaired, you take the time to take a look, if there is something you are not satisfied with, find someone for your father to repair according to your wishes. ”

"Thank you, Father! The son will not disappoint your expectations! ”

Qin Zhao saluted again. Qin Chuan was a little moved, he didn't envy those promising sons of the family, it was really because he was afraid of hardship and tiredness, and he was pampered and indulged by his mother, so that he was behind the scenes in front of his grandfather.

deceived his grandfather, did not work schoolwork and martial arts, did not listen to his father's teachings, and lived the leisure life he thought he wanted. The reputation of the Changguo Mansion was ruined, from his father's hands to his hands,

Defeated, he became a joke in the circle of the powerful in Beijing, and the object of contempt, he was not shameless, it was because he knew that he was unwilling to go outside, living a life of covering his ears and stealing bells, and he was about to be hollowed out by wine.

Now...... Now that his son has a good opportunity, and he is a smart and willing to improve, if he doesn't know how to do it by this time, he will really have no shame to see his grandfather and father in the future.

"Good, good! My father knows that you are a smart child, and from now on, except for my father, you will speak the most effectively, whether it is your brothers and sisters, Ming'er and their three brothers and sisters, or the subordinates of this mansion, if you dare to be disrespectful in front of you, although I will do it.

In addition, the affairs of the house, the front yard is taken care of by a housekeeper, and the backyard is taken care of by Mama Qiu. ”

Qin Zhao nodded: "Okay." "Regarding Qin Zhao being recognized as a righteous son by the second lady of the Cheng'en Mansion, the queen's sister, and Qin Zhao being asked by Qin Chuan, the Duke of Changguo, to be the son of the world, and the emperor allowed these two things,

The aunts in the backyard of the Changguo Mansion and their concubines all know that the wind direction in the mansion has completely changed, and even the children born to the He family know that the wind direction in the mansion is no longer biased towards their brothers and sisters.

Based on this, the aunts in the backyard and their respective concubines, as well as the three children born to the He family, have been keeping their duties for a while now, for fear that they will be a little careless.

was beaten by Qin Chuan, the Duke of Changguo, and even grounded in the courtyard. Because those aunts and their concubines, together with the three children born to the He family, through the recent changes in the house, clearly understand one thing - the grandfather (father) of the country is not what they saw before, only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and have nothing to do in their minds.

Especially when the He family was ill, not to mention the loss of housekeeping rights, and was disgusted by Qin Chuan, the Duke of Changguo, and so far in bed, Qin Chuan has not walked around in his courtyard once, which is a heavy alarm for those aunts in the backyard.

Because they all know in their hearts that in the Changguo Mansion, in the backyard of the Changguo Prince, if they say which one was the most favored and trusted by the Grandpa Guo before, it is undoubtedly the stepwife He.

But now?

The He family lost the trust and favor of Grandpa Guo, lost the right to stewardship, and most importantly, was disgusted by Grandpa Guo, which shows that Grandpa Guo is like that to He.

According to this inference, they are just Grandpa Guo's stuff in the backyard, and if they do something that Grandpa Guo can't forgive, it won't take much to end up, and it will only be worse than He's.

For example, if you sell the mansion, or throw it on the Zhuangzi to fend for yourself, in short, it is impossible to continue to live a pampered life in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion.

Clearly recognizing their identity and situation, the masters in the courtyards of the Changguo Mansion had an extremely correct attitude after learning that Qin Zhao, the prince of the world, had an extremely correct attitude, okay, at least they were kind and angry on the face, and they did their duty, as for what they thought in their hearts, only they knew it themselves.

However, Qin Zhao didn't care what those people thought, every day according to what Ye Xia said, he went to the martial arts arena early to follow the martial arts master to practice riding and archery, and listened to Mr. Lecturing at noon.

In the afternoon, I did the homework assigned by Mr., and then followed Mr. to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I learned about Qin Zhao's learning from Mr. and Master Wu,

Qin Chuan, the prince of Changguo, was excited in his heart, and one night, he went to the ancestral hall and knelt in front of the ancestral tablet, his eyes were red, and he said a lot of words to the ancestral tablet.

After that day and night, Qin Chuan, the prince of Changguo, has changed more and more, becoming self-cultivation, no longer stepping in the backyard, no longer drinking, getting up early and wearing a practice uniform to appear in the martial arts arena.

Running laps, zama steps, starting from the basics and re-learning, obviously tired to work, but gritting his teeth and insisting on exercising. He wants to have a good body, and he wants to watch his son Qin Zhao revitalize the lintel in his lifetime......

In addition to exercising, Qin Chuan, the prince of Changguo, forced himself to calm down and read, and he couldn't read the four books and five classics, so he read such and such travelogues, so that he could have more knowledge, and when Mr. taught Qin Zhaoqin chess calligraphy and painting,

Learn along. Qin Chuan, the Duke of Changguo, saw such a change in his eyes, Qin Zhao naturally saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and then gradually turned from doubt to surprise, until more than half a month later, he changed some of his views on the Duke of Changguo and his father in blood, and the relationship between the two fathers and sons became invisibly harmonious.

Ye Xia knew this through Qin Zhao's mouth, and was sincerely happy for the child, encouraging the little guy to make persistent efforts, concentrate on schoolwork, and work hard to get along with his father Changguo Gong.

After all, knowing mistakes can improve a lot, since Chang Guogong is trying his best to make changes, as a son, he has to give his father a chance to change, so that the two fathers and sons live under the same roof, it will be more natural and warm.

"Mother, are all these foods made from sweet potatoes?"

Looking at the table full of delicacies made with sweet potatoes, Song Fengyan and Qin Zhao opened their eyes wide and swallowed their saliva unconsciously.

"That's right, my mother made it for you with sweet potatoes, eat it, tell me if it's delicious."

Rubbing Song Fengyan's little Zhengtai's head, Ye Xia smiled at Song Fengyan's little Zhengtai, Song Ruining's little girl, and Qin Zhaozhengtai: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

The sweet potatoes planted on Zhuangzi have recently reached the harvest period, in order to put the sweet potatoes edible on the bright side, Ye Xia instructed Hao Fu and Hao Nian to go to Zhuangzi last afternoon.

dug nearly 100 catties of sweet potatoes and brought them back to the house, early this morning, Hao Nian took Qin Zhao to the house, so that she could eat a sweet potato banquet at noon, and then, she beckoned Geng Daniu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and Ruyun and Ruyu to give her a hand.

Most of the sweet potatoes are made into food, and the remaining part is packed in bamboo baskets, and eight kinds of sweet potatoes are to be eaten, leaving enough for their own family to eat, and the more is divided into two parts, and the part of the raw sweet potatoes is sent to the Chengen Mansion.

Among them, raw sweet potatoes and a portion of food made of sweet potatoes, as well as a thick pile of sweet potato planting records, and the method of making it into food, Ye Xia asked Mrs. Ye to present it to the palace, and did so.

It's not that Ye Xia wants to get any reward from the Dog Emperor, it's that according to the plan she drew up earlier, the official will vigorously promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes, so that the people can have one more kind of food that can satisfy their stomachs at this time next year.

In order to ensure the taste as much as possible, Ye Xia used a homemade insulated food box to hold those sweet potatoes to eat.

Hao Nian drove the car, Ruyun followed the car, and the two followed Ye Xia's instructions and rushed to the Chengen Mansion at the fastest speed.

After reading the letter written by Ye Xia, Mrs. Ye didn't stop for a moment, and directly got into the carriage that Hao Nian rushed to, and sent the food made of sweet potatoes to the palace, a basket of raw sweet potatoes, and a thick pile of paper with handwriting written on it, to Emperor Yongkang.

"Taifu, are you sure that these foods are made of those sweet potatoes?"

Emperor Yongkang's voice trembled, and his eyes fell on the paper full of words in his hand, on the food placed on the table, and then on the bamboo basket containing the raw sweet potatoes.

"Back to the emperor, according to the letter from the second daughter to the minister, that meal is indeed made of sweet potatoes."

Mrs. Ye replied respectfully.

"Are you sure you can eat it?"

Emperor Yongkang's eyes were burning and he looked straight at Mrs. Ye.

"Before the minister came to the palace, the minister's family ate it, and he didn't find any discomfort."

After a pause, Mrs. Ye added word by word: "The minister believes that the minister's second daughter will not make a fuss about such a major event that benefits the country and the people." ”

"Luo Fuhai, quick, bring me a pair of chopsticks!"

Emperor Yongkang put away the pile of paper in his hand, rubbed his hands, and instructed Luo Fuhai, seeing that Mrs. Ye was still there, he hurriedly called Luo Fuhai again: "Prepare a pair of chopsticks for Mrs. Ye too." ”

Luo Fuhai responded, and quickly took two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, these foods have names, so it's better to let the maidservants from the minister's house enter the palace and introduce you to one or two."

Mrs. Ye proposed.

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand: "Accurate." ”

Ruyun was led to Emperor Yongkang by Luo Fuhai, looking at the table full of food made of sweet potatoes, her eyelids drooped, and she introduced Emperor Yongkang very respectfully: "Your Majesty, this dish is sweet potato cake,

This is sesame sweet potato cake, this is steamed sweet potato, this is baked sweet potato, this is cold sweet potato vermicelli, this is shredded sweet potato, this is sweet potato porridge...... These foods made with sweet potatoes,

The production method is very simple, especially the steamed sweet potato and roasted sweet potato, the former only needs to clean the sweet potato, put it in the pot and steam it for more than ten minutes to eat, the latter only needs to put the sweet potato into the stove,

Or you can put it in the fire and roast it, and there is also sweet potato porridge, which is to cut the washed sweet potatoes into pieces and put them in the pot to cook when the porridge is boiled......"

The sweet potato vermicelli was taken by Ye Xia from the space, but in front of Geng Daniu and Ruyun, Ruyu, and Mama Chen, she said that she made it herself on Zhuangzi more than ten days ago.

In order to facilitate rest, each village in Ye Xia's hands has a courtyard for her, the master, to rest. Because Ye Xia is quiet, there is no one to serve in the courtyard. Therefore, she said that the sweet potato flour was made by her on Zhuangzi, and Geng Daniu naturally did not doubt him.

The food for the emperor needs to be tested for poison, Mrs. Ye doesn't want the food made by his daughter to be questioned, even if it is the emperor, this old father is unwilling, he picked up the chopsticks and took the initiative to propose: "The minister eats first!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of sweet potato and ate it, and then he used chopsticks to put a little bit of it in his bowl with chopsticks and ate it one by one.

"Back to the emperor, this food is sweet, soft and delicious, if the yield per mu mentioned by the second daughter of the minister can really reach thirty-five stones, then the people of Daxia will really be blessed!"

According to the conversion unit, one stone in ancient times is equal to one hundred catties now.

In the letter to Ye Taifu and the sweet potato planting records to Emperor Yongkang, Ye Xia gave a yield of 3,500 catties per mu, that is, 35 stones, which was a conservative estimate she made based on the farming technology and soil quality of this era.

Seeing that Mrs. Ye ate the sweet potatoes on the table and didn't look abnormal for nearly half an hour, Luo Fuhai took the chopsticks and waited for Emperor Yongkang to eat.

"Okay, very good, this sweet potato is really edible, the taste is indeed as Taifu said, sweet, soft and glutinous!"

After eating a little bit of each sweet potato, Emperor Yongkang was so happy that he kept walking around the hall: "Luo Fuhai, hurry up, wash a sweet potato and cut it into pieces, I want to taste the taste of this raw sweet potato, is it crisp and sweet." ”

Luo Fuhai received the order, quickly washed a sweet potato, cut it into pieces and put it on a plate, and held it in front of Emperor Yongkang.

"Taifu, you can also taste the taste of this raw sweet potato."

Picking up a small piece and sending it to his mouth, Emperor Yongkang invited Mrs. Ye to taste it together. Mrs. Ye responded, after tasting raw sweet potatoes, she replied: "It's really crispy and sweet." ”

"It can be eaten raw and steamed, roasted, and boiled, this sweet potato is simply a divine thing!"

Emperor Yongkang picked up the sweet potato planting record written by Ye Xia again, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy: "According to this planting record, sweet potatoes not only have a high yield, but also can be planted twice a year in some areas, which is really good!" If it is promoted in my Great Xia, then the people of my Great Xia will not have to worry about being hungry! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Yongkang's excited mood calmed down slightly, and then made a decision: "Taifu, tomorrow you will go with me to the prince and his aunt Zhuangzi, if the yield of sweet potatoes per mu can really reach thirty-five stones, I will knight the prince and his aunt on the spot!" ”

Mrs. Ye was stunned at first, and then her eyes were full of astonishment: "Your Majesty, this is ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? ”

Since ancient times, there have been women who have been knighted, but there are very few, is it possible that the emperor really wants to do that?

Emperor Yongkang waved his hand: "There is nothing wrong with it, not to mention that the yield per mu of this sweet potato is high enough, just the prince and his aunt found that this sweet potato crop is edible, it is already a great achievement, and she deserves to be knighted!" ”

The corners of Mrs. Ye's mouth moved, and she didn't say anything more.

His Xia Xia lives outside with three young children as a divorced wife, if he can receive the knighthood, this is undoubtedly a good thing for their mothers, at least walking outside, no one dares to bully and chew his tongue at will.

Although his daughter has been rumored to have the name of a miracle doctor, compared to having a knighthood, the name of a miracle doctor is still a little false. The supremacy of imperial power, the distinction of classes, the difference between respect and inferiority, the divine doctor is very remarkable, and can be praised by everyone, but in the face of power, when it is time to bow his head, even if it is a divine doctor, he still needs to bow his head.

Besides, Ye Xia's current reputation as a miracle doctor has only spread in a small range in the circle of elites, not to mention that the popularity has spread all over Great Xia, even in the capital, it is estimated that it has not been spread.

But receiving a knighthood is different, even if you are just a viscount, you still have status and status, you can be regarded as stepping into your circle, and you have food.

See you tomorrow.
