Chapter 213: Fresh Product
It's a pity that when the national teacher arrived at the Nanyang Palace, it was already empty.
As early as when the maid just went out, Zhou Qi had already gotten up, what was the son of Wenyuan and the son of Yangcheng, he was not interested.
Anyway, if you come to this Xiju Palace, you have to look around.
As for the Crescent Empress?
That's what she's going to come with herself.
At this time, the two of them were in the garden of the palace.
The Crescent Moon Empress also withdrew the others, although they were a little reluctant at first, but they had to obey.
Xiju country is rich in flowers and plants.
What goldenrod, foxglove, snake vine, lily of the valley, jasmine mandala, etc......
The whole nine yards.
Zhou Qi didn't like to fiddle with flowers and plants in his previous life, he was a little interested in fishing, but he basically didn't study these at all......
The Crescent Empress hurriedly stopped: "Don't go. ”
Zhou Qi circled his head and walked to another area, but was stopped again.
"It's all highly poisonous." The Crescent Moon Empress explained.
He was a little helpless, obviously the former he went to was a potato garden and the latter was a tomato garden, so he helplessly asked, "This is also poisonous?" ”
But the Crescent Empress nodded very seriously......
Zhou Qi helped his forehead, and didn't say much to her, just strode over, picked a red tomato, and gnawed it down.
It's a little sour, you have to add sugar, and it should be good to get a cold tomato.
Then make some tomato sauce out, in this ancient time, it is a fresh product.
Potatoes are even more useful, and in case of famine, they can still be satisfied.
And the Empress of the Crescent Moon did look surprised, her red lips opened, but she didn't speak.
He looked at Zhou Qi carefully for a while, and saw that he had nothing to do at all, and there were some doubts in his eyes.
Zhou Qi picked one from the garden and handed it to her: "Try it?" ”
She reached out and took it, full of curiosity, and tasted it, it was sweet and sour, refreshing, and tasted good.
At this time, a maid came forward again and said, "Your Majesty, the arsonist has been found." ”
"Got it."
The Crescent Empress answered, but had no intention of leaving.
She felt that leaving Zhou Qi here alone was a bit unfulfilled landlord's friendship.
And Zhou Qi really didn't care, "Or, you go and get busy first?" ”
Hearing this, the Crescent Empress nodded and prepared to go.
But he was stopped by Zhou Qi again: "Anyway, I will take two kinds of children back, don't you mind?" ”
The Crescent Empress was a little speechless, and dropped two words: "Whatever you want." ”
As soon as the person left, Zhou Qi squatted down, looked at this high-yield crop, and his eyes lit up.
There are no potatoes and tomatoes in the Qian Dynasty, and bringing them back to plant them can make a small fortune, which is simply a drop of money from heaven.
And at this moment, Liu Sichen, who heard that Zhou Qi was wandering in the back garden, finally came.
Along with him was the arrogant Seventh Princess.
But when the seventh princess saw him, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and slapped him from behind.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Zhou Qi was frightened by this sudden slap, and when he looked back, it was her, but he was not angry.
"Dig up seeds."
Hearing this, the seventh princess tilted her head a little incredulously, and sighed again: "You dare to dig the seeds of this Xiju country, aren't you afraid of poisoning you?" ”
Zhou Qi didn't bother to take care of her, but instead froze at Liu Sichen: "Brother Liu is really happy, your father is looking for you and your hair is gray." ”
Liu Sichen folded his fan and patted it, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his face was full of guilt: "Brother Zhou, I ......"
Without speaking, Zhou Qi could probably guess that this thing was to forget his unjust father.
Seeing that he was still in place, he interrupted his ink: "What are you doing?" Come and help! ”
Soon, there were three figures in the back garden, all of them rolling up their sleeves and digging the soil......
Two of the men were covered in mud, and the Seventh Princess was not much better, and her delicate little face looked like a cat.
In their chat, Zhou Qi learned that the original seven princesses lived in Yinzhou because of the convenience of doing business, and the Chen's cloth village involved in her name was distributed in various states and counties, and the Chen's cloth village in the capital was the head office, and she was actually a little rich woman, and her clothes were old not because she had no money, but donated the silver to the border and other war-torn areas in the name of Chen's cloth village.
At this time, the seventh princess also knew that Zhou Qi had also cooperated with her cloth village, and her eyes were even brighter.
When she learned that Zhou Qinai was the shopkeeper of the Zhou family's toothbrush shop, she was full of curiosity about this person, who could sell a small toothbrush at such a high price? Even if other people imitate it, the people only recognize this one?
Even her Nine Emperor Brothers were involved, and she was already surprised!
As a result, he never thought that he was still the person who was ordered to go to Beijing to offer the salt law a while ago!
She still has a connection with her Nine Emperor Brothers, so naturally she has already learned the pros and cons of this, and exclaims that this is a great talent......
Now, it is the source manufacturer of Chen's cloth village with her, not to mention how happy she is in her heart, how can such a person be a disciple?
The two laughed at each other, but she still didn't understand: "Salt is easy to mine, but the grain is harvested very little due to lack of labor, how can you expand the cultivation with only one person?" ……”
Zhou Qigang wanted to speak, and several maids walked past the garden and cast unknown glances at them.
"Why are they digging up the earth?"
"This tree and plant are highly poisonous, aren't the three of them afraid?"
Several maids talked about it, and one of them said kindly: "These three are all friends of the empress, why don't you go and remind them?" ”
Unfortunately, several other people shook their heads and even pulled her down.
"Don't go, I don't know who the man the empress brought back, the empress even refused to see Prince Wenyuan for him, the national teacher was still losing his temper just now, I don't dare to offend the national teacher......"
"That's right, I heard that this person has no official position, and he seems to be innocent, if he is really a person who is familiar with the empress, why is there no birthday gift for the empress today? Or is the son of Yangcheng generous, and the pearl agate fills the entire hall! ……”
"Don't say it, I've seen it, let's go quickly, if you are seen, you will inevitably be punished! ……”
A few maids left in a hurry, leaving only the three of them at a loss, and when they looked there, they only saw a few beautiful backs.
The Seventh Princess's originally smiling face suddenly fell, and her eyes were cold: "Dengzi, it's really enough to attract bees and butterflies anywhere!" ”
Zhou Qi's face was inexplicable, he had just come out of the Nanyang Palace, he said that he didn't do anything, who could believe it?
But Liu Sichen patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Brother Zhou doesn't know, she hasn't closed her eyes in Nanyang Hall for three days, and the birthday banquet that was supposed to be held for this reason has been ordered to be held again, tsk......tt"
Zhou Qi was slightly surprised in his heart, but his eyebrows and eyes suddenly sank.
"Isn't that a fuss?"
At this moment, several maids came and called them to go to the main hall to eat.
Although the original empress's birthday banquet was canceled, the hundreds of officials in the palace still stepped forward to congratulate the gift, and the national teacher had already organized a flowing water banquet.
But this has nothing to do with Zhou Qi, saying that he will not go.
He has known Qing Leng, and he is no longer an innocent boy, he still knows Qing Leng's intentions for him, but now this is the Crescent Moon Empress, and he really has no other intentions, and it is best to return to the bridge and return to the road in the future.
Thinking of this, he decided immediately to leave for Qizhou tomorrow.
If it continues to be delayed, it will be terrible.
It's a pity that just as he returned to Nanyang Hall to pack his baggage, he soon heard a shallow footsteps.
