Chapter 45: The Plough (4)

In the study, after Zhou Sheng and Shen Cheng finished speaking, they all looked at Xia Changyan together.

Xia Changyan's gaze fell on the rake in the middle of the room.

He had barely said a word since he returned to his study, and now his expression was even more serious.

Zhou Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that this plow is the key for His Highness to return to the capital and regain his favor. Therefore, Lin Xiangjun can't let go. ”

When Xia Changyan heard this, he retracted his gaze and looked at Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Shen said that the soybean yield was insufficient in the morning, and Lin Xiangjun improved the rake in the afternoon.

If it weren't for Lin Xiangjun's intention, he would have been quick. However, no matter which one it is, Lin Xiangjun is a person with great talent.

The minister Guan Lin Xiangjun has a good impression of His Royal Highness, although the family is not high, His Royal Highness may as well deign to be noble......"

Zhou Sheng looked at Xia Changyan's expression, and did not finish his words.

Condescension?

Xia Changyan secretly recalled what he had done before, and he showed favor to Lin Banxia more than once. Isn't that condescension enough?

Zhou Sheng paused before continuing: "Your Royal Highness's concubine has to be given a marriage by the Holy Lord, and with Lin Xiangjun's current status as a townshipman, she can also be reluctantly a side concubine."

In the future, His Highness will be more pampered. ”

Side concubine? Cosset? I'm afraid that Lin Xiangjun won't give him a chance to be favored at all.

Xia Changyan became angry, and then there was a trace of grievance in his heart that he was not aware of.

Since you rejected yourself, why did you immediately transform the rake?

I still scratched the blackboard and put a lot of effort into it.

Zhou Sheng hurriedly said: "If Your Highness doesn't have this intention, you should also make a decision as soon as possible." Lin Xiangjun is not as good as a man, and he will still marry when he is under his command.

Lin Xiangjun is over 14 years old, and if someone asks for marriage, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Xia Changyan lowered his eyes and said for a moment: "Lin Xiangjun's matter, we will discuss it later." Tomorrow to build a new plow, Mr. Zhou has to worry a lot. ”

Zhou Sheng and Shen Cheng bowed and retreated, and after leaving the study, Zhou Sheng stood down and said to Shen Cheng:

"Brother Shen, you and I are both assisting His Royal Highness, could it be that Brother Shen still wants Lin Xiangjun to be a minister in the same palace?"

Shen Cheng shook his head slightly: "Zhou Sheng, Your Highness has sent Steward Xu to the countryside in the past few days, and he has also gone there many times.

His Royal Highness's thoughts are almost written on his face. If Lin Xiangjun is interested, where can he be persuaded by you and me? ”

Zhou Sheng was stunned: "Lin Xiangjun is unwilling...... His Royal Highness's character, how can Lin Xiangjun still be unwilling? ”

After a good night's sleep, early in the morning, Lin Banxia ate breakfast in the palace again.

A table full of exquisite breakfasts, but Wang and Father Lin were a little restless.

"Such a small bun?" Wang picked up a bun the size of a baby's fist and held it up to look at it, "Banxia, when are we going back to the countryside?" ”

Lin Banxia reacted and smiled: "Mother, because the buns are small, you want to go back to the countryside?" ”

Wang said angrily: "You girl, you have learned to be poor." ”

ate the bun in one bite, and said: "The chef of this palace is skillful, look at this bun, so little." ”

Lin Banxia smiled and said, "Mother, I'm afraid I'll have to stay for a few days." ”

He said to Father Lin again: "Dad, after breakfast, Mr. Zhou said that he had to come and discuss with his father about yesterday's Quyuan plow." ”

Father Lin responded: "Quyuan plow, this name is appropriate." ”

Lin Banxia brought a small bowl of wontons over: "Mother, you try it, this is also delicious." ”

wiped the corners of the little angelica's mouth and said, "Yesterday, Mr. Shen said that he wanted to find a gentleman for Shi and Angelica to study in the county seat." ”

Wang Shi was happy when he heard this: "That's a good thing." ”

But he immediately said: "Angelica can also read for a girl?" ”

Lin Banxia nodded: "Yes, there is a companion with the stone." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the two small ones: "Stone, Angelica, are you willing to read and write?" ”

The stone was bigger, and he already understood what was going on, so he immediately nodded and said, "Sister, will I be as powerful as you after I study?" ”

Lin Banxia smiled: "You will be more powerful than your sister." ”

"Then I do." Stone's chest stood up.

"I would too." Little Angelica learned from the stone.

Wang looked at the stone and angelica with a smile, but immediately thought of the question: "If you study in the county, can't you live in the countryside with us?" ”

Lin Banxia asked, "Dad, mother, are you willing to live in the county?" ”

"Huh?" Wang was stunned, "Living in the county? Where? ”

Lin Banxia said: "Dad helped make a quyuan plow and ask the prince for a yard, it's not difficult." ”

The Quyuan plough was originally designed so that the oil mill had enough soybeans.

But this design is enough to add a merit to the prince that surpasses tofu.

Such a merit was given to the prince, changing the house in the county seat, and finding a gentleman for the stone and angelica, Lin Banxia himself felt a loss.

I just don't know if my father and mother want to live in the county.

Wang looked at Lin Yi, then looked at Lin Banxia and said, "But if you live in the county seat, how can you serve the land?" ”

"Mother, we have 200 households to eat." Lin Banxia reminded.

"But, that's your food, and you will take it away when you get married in the future, and your mother and your father can't ask for your dowry." Wang shook his head.

Lin Banxia smiled: "Mother, if you are worried that you and your father have nothing to do in the county, how about we open a shop in the county?" ”

"Shop?" Wang asked, "What shop?" ”

"It depends on whether my mother and father are willing to open a bigger or a smaller one. If it's small, just make snacks, and my father and mother will make and sell it by themselves, and if you're tired, hire a helper.

If it's big, open a restaurant, buy snacks downstairs, and have a private room upstairs. What do you think? ”

Wang only shook his head: "Don't bluff me, where will your mother make any snacks, and say that the restaurant will not succeed." ”

Lin Banxia said: "The restaurant may not be able to do it for the time being, how difficult is it to eat?" Besides, it's a snack, so I made it casually.

Mother, you just say if you're willing to try it. If you'd like, we'd go out today to see what snacks are out there, and we'll not make the same. ”

Wang was a little tempted, and asked again: "This is not very good, you are now a township monarch, and you are a saint." ”

Lin Banxia waved his hand and said, "What does it have to do with whether I am a townsman or not?" The government also did not stipulate that the townsmen could not do business. ”

Wang looked at Lin Yi and said, "His father, what do you say?" ”

Lin Yi has always had no idea, and after thinking for a while, he only nodded and said, "Cheng." ”

Wang looked forward and backward a little: "You can open a shop and ask for silver." ”

Lin Banxia said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about these things. ”

How could the Wang family not worry, she shook her head and said: "If we live in this palace, we will cause trouble to the prince, but we can't ask for the prince's silver anymore." ”

Lin Banxia said in his heart, this silver really has to be wanted, otherwise it will be misunderstood by the prince again.

She didn't want to be misunderstood by the prince again and again.
