The method that Shen Ningning came up with to control the locusts was very effective.

The rain prevented the locusts from multiplying, and the people even regarded fried locusts as a delicacy.

Walking on the streets now, you can still see locust vendors everywhere.

After Xie Ming'an set off for Shuzhou, Shen Ningning helped to rain twice in the capital.

Whenever the rain passes, the sky is as clear as a blue mirror, three or four white clouds are hanging on it, and the spring breeze passes, and colorful paper kites rise all over the city.

The spring breeze is warm, and the plague of locusts has not left any shadow in everyone's hearts, but it is almost over.

The emperor and the people all knew that this was Shen Ningning's credit.

If it weren't for the lucky girl in charge, where would there be such a peaceful life.

Xie Mingxu took the little girl out to release the paper kite a few times, but they were all followed by the enthusiastic people.

They carry their own slaughtered chickens, ducks or pork, or carry baskets of new vegetables.

Every time Shen Ningning went out empty-handed, he could return with a full load when he went home.

The little guy simply didn't go out, waiting for everyone to spend this enthusiasm.

On this day, there was no class at the Chinese Academy, and Shen Ningning helped everyone check the maintenance of the loquat tree in Xiangyun Village.

Lu Shaoyuan came to the village to look for her.

"I heard that my mother said that recently, there is a group of wealthy businessmen from Persia who have a lot of jade in their hands, and they will be auctioned in Chaoxing Tower today."

"Don't you like jade? It is said that in their hands, there is a jade plaque carved in imperial green, which is the size of a palm, do you want to take a look? ”

He said and patted his heavy pocket: "I have brought enough silver tickets, if you like it, we can win it today!" ”

As soon as Shen Ningning heard Youyu, he immediately put down the things in his hand.

turned to wash his little hands with clean water, and shouted into the house: "Grandma, I'm going to the city with Lu Shaoyuan!" ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Lu Shaoyuan's wrist and hurriedly ran out.

"When will it start? Won't you miss it, why didn't you tell me sooner! ”

Lu Shaoyuan raised his sword eyebrows and smiled with a mouthful of white teeth: "What's the hurry, there is still half an hour, let's catch up." ”

The two of them rode in the carriage of the Lu family, galloped all the way, and came to the outside of the Super Star Tower.

There have been quite a few merchants here, probably waiting to buy something good from the Persian merchants.

As soon as Lu Shaoyuan entered, many businessmen bowed to him.

"Young owner." They called Lu Shaoyuan an honorific title.

Mrs. Meng is the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and the Meng family's business is all over Cangyun Country, and everyone can see that the Chamber of Commerce may take over by Mrs. Meng's youngest son in the future.

Lu Shaoyuan nodded at them one by one, and then whispered to Shen Ningning: "It's all my own people here, and if I say I want a jade card in a while, they will definitely not rob us." ”

Shen Ningning's eyes were dark and a little happy: "Then you help me pay first, and then I will take the silver and make it up to you." ”

In the past five years, she has also made a lot of money, and she has saved it!

Lu Shaoyuan laughed: "Be polite to me, aren't we friends." ”

The two of them spoke, squeezing into the lobby.

Unexpectedly, two Persians wearing brocade came out of the private room next to them, escorting a familiar figure ready to leave.

Shen Ningning looked at it, and her good-looking eyebrows furrowed.

How could it be Mo Zhirou?

She was holding a box in her hand, could it be that she had already traded with this group of Persians?

Mo Zhirou was saying goodbye to those Persians with a smile, and when she saw Shen Ningning, she sank down.

"Her Royal Highness also likes jade? What a coincidence, I met you here. Mo Zhi smiled softly and did not smile.

The drop-shaped gem hanging between Shen Ningning's eyebrows shone brightly.

The little girl was beautiful and pretty, and as soon as she appeared, she took away the attention of the audience.

Lu Shaoyuan frowned and asked the Persian behind Mo Zhirou: "The jade plaque you brought this time is still there, when will the auction start?" ”

The Persians looked at each other and waved their hands, looking very helpless.

"I'm sorry, we've already sold to this girl." They pointed at Mo Zhirou.

Shen Ningning's gaze fell on the box she was holding.

And so it was!

Lu Shaoyuan was unceremoniously: "What are you buying jade for, look at you, you don't look like a person who can appreciate jade." ”

Mo Zhirou saw that this was something Shen Ningning wanted, so she hugged the box tighter.

"So the princess wants it too? I'm really embarrassed, but I was ordered by my father to buy this jade plaque with a lot of money to give it to my mother. ”

She moved out of the king of Shu, no matter how rich the merchants were, how could they dare to rob things from the princes and nobles?

Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips.

In order to show off, when Mo Zhirou passed by the little girl, she opened the box and deliberately showed Shen Ningning the jade plate.

The color of the jade is dark green, and it is a good imperial green at a glance.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the jade pendant is embroidered with the flower blossom and the pedicle, and the position of the stamen, I don't know if it is the impurity of the jade itself, there is a little bit of red.

Because of this red, the whole jade plaque is like an aura.

Mo Zhirou was a little arrogant, and smiled faintly.

"Princess, don't blame me, I don't want to rob you, but my father said that I want to give it to my mother, I naturally have to come in advance, you can take a look at something else, although the rest of the jade is not as good as this jade card, but maybe there is a princess who likes it?"

She had a burst of yin and yang weirdness, Lu Shaoyuan lost his temper, and immediately said: "If you speak in this tone again, believe it or not, I won't let you get out of the Super Star Tower!" ”

Mo Zhirou pretended to be afraid, and her face turned pale: "Second Prince Lu is so angry, embarrass me, what does my father think?" ”

Lu Shaoyuan was not afraid of her threat, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to grab the jade plate, but was dragged by Shen Ningning.

The little girl's eyes were as calm as black water: "You just let her take it away, didn't she say it, this is what the King of Shu wants to give to the princess." ”

Mo Zhirou snorted coldly in her heart: "It's still the princess who understands the rules." ”

Princess Funing didn't dare to rob her.

Mo Zhirou sighed and walked away with the box.

Lu Shao was angry: "What did you just stop me doing, she is such a villain's smile, I really can't wait to do it." ”

Shen Ningning looked at Mo Zhirou's back, and her delicate face was as cold as frost.

"The best thing she said is true, if the King of Shu is not given to the Princess of Shu, then there will be some play."

With Shen Ningning's understanding of the King of Shu.

His intentions for the princess are fake, but he is keen to play the image of a good husband in front of everyone.

If this jade pendant was something he was going to give to the princess, then he would definitely come in person.

So that the people know that the daughter of the king of Shu is a red face and will have a reputation for his favorite wife.

But the king of Shu did not come, but arranged for Mo Zhirou to come.

That's different, Shen Ningning suspects that this jade pendant is not for the princess at all!

After five or six days, it was time for Concubine Qi's birthday banquet.

Concubine Qi invited the nobles and daughters in Beijing, and Shen Ningning and Ye Sheng were among the invitees.

Shen Ningning naturally arrived at the scene.

The banquet is placed in the southeast corner of the imperial garden, in the spring flowers, there are eight or nine round tables, countless warblers and swallows laugh out, floating flowers and waves, fragrant breeze, good life elegant and comfortable.

The small bridge on the side was clanging, and Shen Ningning was at a table with Ye Shangyi, Liang Yici and Qi Xiuwei, and next to it was Mo Zhirou and her friends.

Ye Shangyi twisted her willow eyebrows, very disgusted.

"Whatever their identities are, they're almost next to us." Concubine Qi really deliberately disgusted them!

Shen Ningning ignored these and concentrated on tasting the delicacies in front of him.

At this time, Concubine Qi's palace people served a dish to each table.

Fried locusts.

The ladies all changed color, after all, they are all delicate ladies, where have they really eaten insects.

Only a lot of girls have tried it, but many more girls are afraid.

Concubine Qi, who was dressed gorgeously and gracefully, looked a little weird with short hair with a hairpin of beads.

But her smile remained the same, and she still tried to make a gentle appearance, and she still wore a half-covered face with gold wire in front of her nose.

"Before, Princess Funing recommended fried locusts to eliminate natural disasters for us, and today the palace specially served this dish to the table, and please all taste one or two." (End of chapter)
