Qian Laohan, who was standing in the middle of the two baskets, saw Chongzhen picking all those medium-sized ones, so he couldn't help but say: "His Royal Highness King Xin, you are going to choose the big, this is for the emperor and the queen's mother." ”

Chongzhen picked and said: "You don't know this, it is a well-known common sense to pick the big one when breeding, but if it is about eating, it has to be these medium-sized people." ”

"Why?"

"I don't know, you're really stupid, you deserve to farm for the rest of your life." Chongzhen scolded with a smile, and patiently explained, "Because it's easy to cook, whether it's boiled or roasted, cutting it is another matter." ”

Instead of being angry, Old Man Qian felt honored, and said with a red face: "I believe in the king's high opinion, and I admire the old man." ”

"Why do I think you're humiliating the king?" Chongzhen glanced at him and said, "It's true that there are more sweet potatoes than those harvested in autumn, but as far as this king knows, potatoes and corn generally seem to be grown in spring and summer. ”

Qian Laohan laughed and said: "King Xin doesn't know, these potatoes and corn are the second crop planted by Lao Han this year, and the harvest is good, otherwise he won't have enough to eat, how can he take them to the market in exchange for money." ”

"Can we properly develop the limited arable land while carrying out double or even triple cropping?" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, got up and said sincerely, "Such a simple truth, this king didn't expect it." In the end, there is a specialization in the art industry, the old man sees it, and the king admires it. ”

Qian Lao Han Hao Ran said: "King Xin, don't torture the old man, the old man and I will serve one acre and three points of land in my life, and support five or six people, which is like the emperor and the king of Xin, who must work hard in the world and care for the people." ”

"Each performs his duties, and those who can live in it. Your old opinion, I don't know how many princes and generals can be tormented. ”

Chongzhen did not hesitate to praise, he was in too much of a hurry to leave the palace today, and did not bring the commonly used vegetable basket, so he asked the wife of the craftsman in the stall next door if he bought a new one, or the kind of mezzanine.

The small layer on the top is filled with Chinese medicine and fruits.

The big layer at the bottom is filled with vegetables that still have the fragrance of the earth.

Such a delicate can not only avoid cross-contamination to the greatest extent, but also set a good example for the people to love hygiene, so as to gradually develop a good habit of cleanliness and tidiness.

In fact, in Chongzhen's eyes, the people of Jingshi are already very particular about hygiene, even Qianmen Street, which has the largest passenger flow and the most vendors, looks quite clean and tidy, but who would dislike their home for being too beautiful?

No one! At least under the Ming Dynasty, no one will!

All the fruits and vegetables were fresh, apparently from the industrious old farmers, who went to the fields early in the morning to pick and dig them.

However, after the sweet potatoes are dug out of the ground, they have to be left at home for a period of time before they become extra sweet.

Chongzhen told this truth to Qian Laohan, as well as those who followed him who were vying to buy, which caused a period of suspicion, and after returning home and trying in batches, he realized that what King Xin said was true.

Carrying a basket of vegetables and entering the palace from the noon gate in a grand manner, it has probably opened a precedent since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

What he really wants is this effect, he just wants to superimpose many unexpected actions, and finally let others not only look at all his words and deeds, but also fully support him.

Yuan Qi and the others are not qualified to enter the palace for the time being, and Chongzhen did not deliberately fight for them.

After all, that would be a distrust and disrespect for the palace guards.

Chongzhen's control of people's hearts has always been wonderful.

Seeing Chongzhen enter the palace again from the noon gate, they spontaneously scattered around the imperial city, and formed a subtle consensus with the palace guards and some brocade guards, that is, to protect the emperor, protect the queen, and protect the king of letters.

In addition to the above things, Chongzhen, who lives in the palace, has one more thing that must be done every day.

That's - to meet the Empress Dowager Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu is the concubine of Wanli of the Great Ming Divine Sect, and she is ranked in terms of generation, and belongs to the grandmother generation of Chongzhen.

But this does not prevent Chongzhen from treating her as a mother-like role, because in his two lives of human experience, he has always lacked a mother's glorious kindness, which makes him a little extreme and a little paranoid.

Coincidentally, no book is written, and King Xin's hard-working biological mother is also surnamed Liu, and she is also Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu's kind eyebrows and kind eyes just made up for the emotional gap of Chongzhen.

Since meeting the Empress Dowager Liu for the first time, her image of the virtuous Empress Dowager has been portrayed in the deepest part of his soul like a mother.

Zhou Yuhuang, who was slightly flawed, finally became Princess Xin because of Empress Dowager Liu's insistence.

Chongzhen believes that it is this persistence that has achieved his fate with Zhou Yuhuang Chunfeng. It is precisely because of this fate that I can integrate with the identity of King Daming Xin, and compose something more magical than crossing.

In addition, Empress Dowager Liu has a generous temperament and has lived in the harem for decades, but she never fights for power and profit, and only silently travels her virtuous and virtuous obligations.

In the end, when the Shenzong Guangzong collapsed successively, he was supported by the Minister of Donglin as the queen mother and held the seal of the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

But she never listened to the government with a curtain, let alone dictated the politics of the Ming Dynasty, and adhered to the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty.

"The morality that the women of my Han family have cultivated over thousands of years is not comparable to the tiger dogs that Jiannu painted in just a few decades. Even if the concubine is martyred, it can't stop the ambition of the slave woman to control the government. ”

"In addition to rescuing the imperial brother in the palace transfer case, this is probably the most generous and wise thing Donglin has done."

Chongzhen silently thought about his thoughts, carried the vegetable basket, and stepped into the threshold of Cining Palace.

Every flower, grass, person, and thing in Cining Palace was rendered as warm as jade by Empress Dowager Liu, even the two palace guards who guarded the gate and guarded the Empress Dowager had a slightly gentlemanly demeanor in their words and deeds.

"It's the magnet effect! To a certain extent, what the Queen Mother and I have done are on the same path! ”

"See His Royal Highness King Shin!"

Along the way, I saw the little palace maid Xiaohuangmen, all of whom treated the simple Han family gift with respect.

Chongzhen responded with a light smile as usual, and responded in pieces, that natural gentleman's style, how could it be compared to casually pulling out a Zhu royal family, not to mention his fat uncle Fuwang.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Cining Palace all secretly thought: "Quan Gelding is nine thousand years old, claiming to be an old man, and forcing others to call him His Royal Highness, but there are many people who disobey him." However, His Royal Highness King Shin never emphasized his identity, but it was particularly convincing. ”

If Chongzhen knew what they were thinking, he would have been furious and scolded: "How can you compare this king with that eunuch? It just doesn't make sense! ”

that they may know what the temper of the king of faith is.

Since Empress Dowager Liu entered the palace and became Wanli's concubine, she has changed the small bad habit of snooze.

She got up early in the morning light.

After playing the 24-style simplified Tai Chi taught by Chongzhen, washing up a little, and eating a simple breakfast, it was simply refreshing, and it seemed that it was not difficult for me to live another twenty or thirty years.

And after this year, she will be 70 years old.

Hearing the movement of the outer courtyard, Empress Dowager Liu had slowly moved out of the palace with the support of a small palace maid.

Seeing it, Chongzhen hurriedly put the vegetable basket he was carrying aside, went up to hold her hand and said, "Queen Mother, you can torture your grandson." ”

Empress Dowager Liu smiled heartily: "I'm old, but I don't like to sit all day, but I like to walk around." ”

Chongzhen smiled and quipped: "If you don't know your son, your grandson will take you to Qianmen Street to buy groceries and go shopping?" ”

Empress Dowager Liu stretched out a finger and pointed at his forehead and said, "You, you, sometimes even the mourning family can't guess your thoughts." But speaking of which, the mourning family has indeed been on that street for more than 40 years. ”

Chongzhen said: "No matter how many layers of masks my grandson wears outside, how many face-changing techniques he has. In front of you, always play the role of your grandchild. ”

"Silly boy, you were originally the grandson of the mourning family, the grandson of the in-laws, how can you play it?" Empress Dowager Liu felt that she had been with this interesting grandson for a long time, and the way she changed her face and spoke changed slightly.

Her virtuous but slightly depressed palace life is also much more exciting.

Chongzhen hurriedly slapped himself and said, "Yes, yes, the Queen Mother is right, hahaha." The queen mother, the name of the little glutinous rice was chosen, but the grandson did not adopt the one proposed by the Ministry of Rites, but gave the little guy one himself. ”

Empress Dowager Liu said happily: "The son's name should be chosen by the father, so that it does not seem to be angry." ”

Chongzhen said: "The grandson named Xiao Nuomi Cihong, does the Queen Mother think it's okay?" ”

"Cihong? Compassion and clarity? ”

Empress Dowager Liu muttered twice, and praised sincerely: "It's not just okay, it's just great." My grandson is of good character, my granddaughter-in-law is virtuous and virtuous, and no one in the mourning family really looks at the wrong person, haha. ”

Chongzhen bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, grandson, Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded happily and accepted the gift, and said happily: "What fresh vegetables and fruits did you bring to the mourning family today?" ”

Chongzhen hurriedly brought the vegetable basket over, focusing on sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and introduced to the kind old man with a smile: "In addition to these seasonal traditional vegetables and fruits, can the Queen Mother recognize these three things?" ”

"These three things, it seems that I have seen them somewhere......" Empress Dowager Liu frowned lightly, thought for a while, and then said happily, "The mourning family remembered, a few years ago, Xu Guangqi and Lord Xu asked someone to present this thing to the mourning family. ”

Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "There is such a relationship? ”

Empress Dowager Liu sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that the mourning family has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has long been unfamiliar with the cultivation and reading habits of his fathers.

At that time, the battle between the Donglin eunuch faction was the most intense, and after thinking about it, the mourning family did not want to sink into the Ming Dynasty deeper, and did not want to destroy the ancestral training of the harem that it was not allowed to interfere in politics, so they did not agree to help it promote.

Grandson, is this thing really as amazing as Xu Guangqi said? Can you feed thousands of people who are starving? The people take food as the sky, and I have really fallen into such a deep pool of misery? ”
