Zeng County Commander's recent life has not been good or bad, he has had the highlight moment of high school jinshi in his life, and he has also gone through the trough of being assigned to a remote and poor small county as a county commander, and he has the ecstasy of being appreciated by nobles, and now he has become a farmer who has nothing and serves.

Since living in a small cement building with wolf prevention skills, Zeng County has lived a more Buddhist life, and earlier he hated Princess Rui to the core, and became a lifelong enemy. However, under the impression of the cement building, his opinion gradually changed.

- Maybe this Princess Rui is the living Bodhisattva True Fairy sent by God, look at how amazing this spell of turning mud into stone is?

So who can really hate a god?

If you can't hate it, you can only stay away.

Of course, Jing is not so respectful, after all, the positions are different and men and women are different, and they are barely able to maintain their dignity and ignore her.

But Zeng County Ling wanted to ignore Princess Rui, but he couldn't.

Princess Rui, with two personal maids, actually brought him food.

When Lao Zeng first guarded the cotton field, he ate bran dumplings and drank cold water, and the same was true for the two people who guarded him.

Later, when the money in the Rui Wangfu became more and more earned, their food gradually changed.

Eating bran vegetables was slowly replaced by light brown whole wheat flour steamed cakes, and later replaced by light yellow soup cakes, and now they eat food, there are snow-white steamed buns and scones with fillings, the filling is meat, and the cake is sprinkled with flax, which is more fragrant and crispy and delicious than the flax cakes in the capital!

In this way, Lao Zeng can't ask for more - he doesn't have to be afraid of wild beasts when he is well fed and clothed, what else does a person who is forced to do labor ask for?

So when the two maids brought the food they had brought to him, he looked dismissive.

What's better than a meat scone? He didn't eat it.

Zeng County's attitude of refusing to be bribed was all expected by Pei Qing.

After all, you can't expect everyone to be Sun Miaomiao's stupid and silly.

In front of the small cement building at the head of the cotton field, there were stone piers and stone tables, and Ah Xing laid cushions on the stone piers for her, and she sat down happily and leisurely enjoyed the scenery of the wilderness.

Sun Miao waited and waited, and before the farmer who was guarding the cotton field to eat, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why don't you eat such a delicious pulp cake?" ”

You must know that the canteen has a limited supply of this kind of dim sum, and if it weren't for the princess Niangniang's mouth, she and Ah Xing would not have been able to get a big basket full of cakes.

Zeng County Ling didn't know the maid who spoke, so he ignored Sun Miaomiao like ignoring Princess Rui.

At this time, Pei Qing instructed A-Xing lightly: "Introduce this woman to our old parents." ”

Ah Xing began to introduce Sun Miao to Zeng County: "Lord Zeng, do you know this person who came with a basket?" ”

Zeng Xian Ling glanced at Sun Miaomiao and turned his head away, and snorted coldly: "I don't know." ”

He wanted to drive the three women in front of him away, but who called this place someone else's territory, it was useless for him to speak, he could only watch them lie here and talk nonsense.

Ah Xing said in a gloating tone: "This strong woman is amazing, a famous heroine on the rivers and lakes, she is nicknamed Poison Hand Medicine Niang, she is a guest in the palace of the three princes in the capital, such a big man came to see you, do you have any face?" ”

As soon as her words fell, Zeng County ordered her to fall from the stone pier.

"You are also a guest in the Three Princes' Mansion?" Zeng County Ling got up with the dust all over his body, and looked at Sun Miao in disbelief, "What are you doing in the former county?" ”

Sun Miao, who failed in the assassination and was humiliated again, was finally defeated by his appetite: ......

Seeing that Sun Miaomiao looked like a cold outsider, he just took out the unique guest gold medal of the Three Princes' Mansion to prove his identity, and Zeng County, who was suspicious at first but had to believe her origin, quickly made up a drama of power and conspiracy.

"The Third Prince sent you to get rid of me, a loser?" He asked in a trembling voice, and then quickly denied himself, "Impossible, I'm not worthy of the guest in the mansion - are you here to assassinate Princess Rui?" ”

This woman is the same as the white-haired beautiful young lady last time!?

However, the last time, in the end, a corpse was separated.

This time this ...... But she actually became Princess Rui's personal maid?!

Zeng Xianling's complexion changed several times, and she felt ridiculous at first, but seeing that Sun Miaomiao never squeaked and just stared at herself with an unkind face, an unbelievable despair slowly overwhelmed her.

"Such a big man actually took refuge in Princess Rui?" Zeng County Ling muttered dumbfounded, "Don't let go of 100,000 taels of silver a year to be a maid for the dilapidated princess of a remote county?!" ”

Forgive him for his shallow experience, why does the more he thinks about it, the more he feels so magical?

Ah Xing said unconvinced next to him: "Then you, a scholar who has passed the Jinshi, don't you still want to farm and become a farmer?" ”

Zeng Xianling had an expression on his face that wanted to cry and laugh, and his heart was mixed.

He said disheartenedly: "If you become a king or lose a villain, how can you and other ignorant children know the truth here?" ”

Sun Miaomiao had already been impatient to hear it, and when she heard that the farmer who was looking at the land actually hung up her bookbag, she immediately shouted: "Hey, do you want to eat this cake?" This cake won't be crispy when it's cold, so I'll eat it if you don't eat it. ”

As she spoke, she lifted the sackcloth from the basket, picked up a piece of bread, put it in her mouth, and chewed it with a pleasant clattering sound.

Zeng County Ling's heart, which had already considered himself "tortured" Gujing Wubo, finally made waves after seeing the words and deeds of this former guest secretary of the Third Prince's Mansion who was worth 100,000 yuan.

"You're just going to take refuge with Princess Rui?" He asked this in disbelief, he had ever been in a trench with himself (?). comrades-in-arms.

Sun Miaomiao rolled her eyes and replied to him while eating the cake happily: "I didn't take refuge in her, and when the time comes, I will still take her head back to pay the errand - isn't it the right time now?" ”

Zeng County asked angrily: "Then when will the time come?" ”

The two of them openly discussed the net worth and life of the former county lord, while the person who was discussed looked at the scenery leisurely and did not comment at all.

I only heard Sun Miaomiao's particularly straightforward answer: "Of course, I have eaten enough of all the delicious food here, and when she can't make new tricks, I will naturally complete the tasks assigned by the third prince." ”

Zeng County Order: ......

So, so?

He looked at the girl sitting on the chair with a complicated face, and suddenly fell to the ground: "The princess is on top, and Zeng Qiang was born in her later life...... served. ”

Zeng County Order, Zeng Qiang, did not serve Dianyuan when he was admitted to the Jinshi, did not serve the official department when he was assigned to the official, and did not serve Shangfeng when he was based in the former county - but at this moment, to a girl who sat on the stone pier and looked at the scenery with her arms crossed and looked at the scenery with a leisurely demeanor, she was convinced and admired with takeaways.

How to describe it? The feeling in his heart was complicated, but when it came to subduing a top-notch assassin through his culinary skills, he looked at the world and found no woman who could do it.

It's just that people are not good at cooking, what they are good at is governing feudal towns and farming to make money!

So Zeng County, who was not confused, sadly discovered that there is always such a person in the world, who will be proficient in everything, and can crush anyone else in all aspects......

Disobedient?

If he is still not convinced, he will despise himself.

At this time, Sun Miaomiao had already picked up the second cake and started eating.

Pei Qing bowed slightly to Zeng Qiang: "It's easy to say." But if you don't eat it again, this basket of hot meals will go into someone's stomach in a while. ”

It's okay if she doesn't say it, as soon as she says this, Zeng Qiang looks at Sun Miao and gets angry, and the more he looks at it, the more angry he becomes.

He was no longer reserved, he put his hand into the basket viciously, grabbed the still hot cake and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he was competing with Sun Miao.

In fact, only he knows that he is self-defeating after hating iron and not steel.

When it comes to eating, Sun Miaomiao has never lost, and he naturally eats a lot at the moment, and almost snatches half of the bread in the basket.

It was Ah Xing who intimately made two bowls of crockpot chicken soup for the two of them, so as to avoid the tragic end of two people choking to death because they ate too fast.

After eating and drinking, Sun Miaomiao sat on another stone pier, and after squinting on the stone table and sleeping in the sun, Zeng Qiang finally calmed down.

"Princess Niangniang, what is the matter with you coming to find Lao Zeng today? Tell me about it. "He is now holding a late birthday ceremony, and he really begins to treat Princess Rui as a nobleman who is smarter than himself.

Pei Qing had seen enough of the idyllic scenery, and asked Ah Xing to send Zeng Qiang paper and pen.

"It's not a big deal," she said with a smile, "but I heard that the people of the county next door to us are in difficulty, and the tenants there are poor and the gentry are not living well, so I want to send them some money." ”

Zeng Qiang: ???

"What does the princess mean......" He was so confused that he had to ask carefully, "I want to donate money to the people of Rang County?" ”

Pei Qing applauded lightly, and smiled as soft as the spring wind: "It's to send money, not donate money." ”

When Zeng Qiang finally figured out that the princess wanted to contact the county magistrate who gave way through him as an intermediary, and then gave her a place to rent land and farm in the county, Sun Miaomiao, who was lying on the table next to her, was already snoring.

Zeng Qiang touched his beard, and said with a complicated expression: "I really found the right person, let the county magistrate and the late life be in the same year, and they also have some friendship with each other." But...... Since the princess is afraid of being regarded as expanding the domain, the person who rents the land with money must not have anything to do with the Rui Palace? ”

Pei Qing replied lightly: "That's right." It will be the peasants of the former county land and the place where the county is bounded by the county to lease the land in their name. ”

In this way, the royal clan will definitely not be able to catch Princess Rui's pigtails, but the scope of her actual territory has really increased - so cunning!

Zeng Qiang sighed to himself.

"It shouldn't be difficult for me to speak in the same year that Rang County was in business," he sighed and picked up the brush, "I'll write to him to try it, of course, if the princess can give some food and supplies to Rang County, then this matter will go more smoothly." ”

As he spoke, he quickly wrote on the paper.

Speaking of the problem of food, Pei Qing fell into deep thought.

After the county order was dismounted, the Ruiwang Mansion took over the official warehouse in the county, and the grain in it was enough to chew for a period of time, but because it was now the season of green and yellow, she continued to buy people from outside, and with only the grain in the official warehouse, I am afraid that it would not be able to support the autumn harvest.

So she has been asking Huang Gongzi's caravan to purchase grain, and the Huang family's caravan has lived up to the trust, bringing a large amount of grain every time she comes to the county.

- But this is really not a long-term solution, because the cost of transporting grain by land is too great, especially since they are still in the north near the frontier, and it would be good to have half a cart left when a cart of grain is sent to their county from the south, so the Ruiwang Mansion has set the price of grain at five cents a catty, in fact, it has already subsidized the price of the people, but it is still much higher than in the harvest year, and much higher than the grain price in some rich counties in the south.

But in the face of Lao Zeng's suggestion, she did not intend to dismiss it directly.

"Okay, when the princess goes back, I will arrange to send him a few truckloads of grain."

Zeng Qiang found that his opinions were quickly accepted, and a warm current involuntarily rose in his heart.

After being an official for so many years, I have seen many dignified nobles, but there are not many who are willing to humbly accept advice.

One thing to say, Princess Rui is really a master, although she ...... She's a woman.

When the pen and ink dried, Zeng Qiang handed the paper full of words to Ah Xing, and Ah Xing took it and carefully put it in the envelope, which was the main purpose of their visit to Lao Zeng today-

Because Lao Zeng still had to write on the envelope, it was written that it was the county order of the former county that had forcibly worshiped the county order of the same year.

After solemnly writing the envelope, Zeng Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, to his surprise, Princess Rui still sat still, without the slightest intention of leaving.

"Is there anything else going on with the princess?" Since Zeng Qiang already regarded Pei Qing as the master, he naturally wanted to take the initiative to share the worries of the king, so he opened his mouth.

Pei Qing pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I'm thinking about the traffic in the former county. ”

Seeing that Zeng Qiang, who had been a parent official, showed a thoughtful expression, she took out a map of the county's waters that she had sent someone to survey.

"Land transportation is really inconvenient, and there are many bandits and robbers on the road," she pointed to the river on the map with her slender jade finger, "so this princess intends to dredge the county and connect it with the big river leading to the city." ”

Zeng took a strong breath of cold air.

"What does the princess plan to transport through the river?" He was shocked and shocked and asked, "What is worth making our county spend a lot of money on construction to control the river?" ”

Since ancient times, building water conservancy has not been a cheap job, and once the construction starts, the money spent will really flow away.

Even when the imperial court said that it was going to build a river and build an embankment, it was a big headache, and it had to shake its teeth to draw out the money, and several ministries would also quarrel with each other, at least, the head of the household department would have a headache to death.

However, in Xixian County, Princess Rui, the person in charge of the house, decided the matter as soon as she opened her mouth, without cumbersome procedures and without the need for others to put her beak, and the matter was settled simply and clearly.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the job of doing things for the Rui Wangfu has also become pleasant?
