Chapter 363: Centrifugal Departure
Yutangchun's new dish is called "Taqing", several different flavors, which sounds wonderful, but it can be known that it is a locust, and many people express their gratitude and are difficult to eat.
But people who have eaten it say that it is crispy and tender, and it has a unique flavor, which also attracts some people to try it.
Wen Hui looked at this sales volume and heard that Feng Yun was still collecting a large number of locusts, and was a little worried.
"What should I do if the lady collects so much and can't sell it?"
Feng Yun said: "Dry and store for later use." ”
Wen Hui was puzzled.
She said: "If you eat, you will be picky, and when you don't eat, you won't dislike it." ”
And the dried locusts are really crispy, just like fried river shrimp and small fish......
Seeing that the lady had her own opinions, Wen Hui didn't ask any more questions, and hung the dish in the lobby as usual.
Nagato has been collecting locusts.
The purchase price is very low, but at this time, there are many idlers in the township, and when they hear that there are locusts, they all run over to catch them.
There were more people than locusts on the edge of a field......
Ducks and people, bonfires and chases, this time the locust plague slowly passed.
He Qia made statistics, and the damage was still not small, but it was much better than he expected at first.
By the end of July, Nagato stopped collecting locusts.
The autumn harvest is approaching, and Nagato is going to have a happy event again, so he is very busy.
The sugarcane in Mingquan Town is harvested in July and is also preparing to be sown in autumn.
Everything seems to be unaffected......
However, there was no rain in the continuous drought, the water level of the old well in the village and the Changhe River was getting lower and lower, and the price of grain in the market was getting more and more expensive.
People smell tension in the air.
Gradually, the food shortage intensified......
The grain store grabbed grain, one price a day, and the more the rumors spread, the more stakes became.
Since last year, Feng Yun has asked the people in the village to stock up on grain.
But there are not many people who really do what she says, and have that spare money to hoard food.
Fortunately, in this season, there is still some harvest, and some farmers who have been plagued by locusts can also buy some from the village, and if they ask for Nagato, they can also buy them at the market price, so that they can settle down a little and be less anxious than other villages......
-
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Yun got up before dawn, and the smell of cut millet in the village came, she took a deep breath, washed up, and went to Yangxinzhai to pick up Yuan Shangyi and go out on the street together.
She went to buy it for Wen Hui's wedding.
This is the first time Nagato has held a happy event, and Feng Yun is very attentive.
But Wen Hui, who is about to be a bride, is afraid of delaying the business of the owner, so she does everything herself, and she doesn't want to fake it.
In the past few days, Feng Yun has sent two other concubines, Tu Lan and Gu Zhu, to Yutang Chun to help, and when Wen Hui gets married, someone will replace her......
This is the second time Yuan Shangyi has come to Andu City, and he is still buying the bride's things, and his eyes are full of happiness.
The market is bustling.
Compared with the countryside busy for the autumn harvest, in the tea house and wine shop in the city, idlers gather in one place, all discussing that Andu is about to become the auxiliary capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Feng Yun got the news earlier, which was revealed by Pei Zhen.
But the news reached the people, and it was only these two days.
The market immediately boiled.
From Qi to Jin, and then to the auxiliary capital of the Jin Kingdom, Andu has changed too much in just two years.
Naturally, the people were ecstatic.
They are all guessing the intentions of the imperial court, and they are pulling it very similarly.
said one set after another, as if he had seen the resolution of the Taiji Hall with his own eyes.
"Placing the auxiliary capital in Andu, first, there is dragon qi nourishment - the little emperor has not been in Andu for a long time to recuperate, and he has been getting better for many years, you say, is Andu a blessed land?"
"Yes!"
"That's just one of them. Second, the auxiliary capital is in Andu, one is temperate in the Southern Qi, and the other swallows the puppet dynasty of Yecheng, the time and place are favorable, but the picture is also slowly. ”
The people of Andu all called Yecheng a puppet court.
In their opinion, their own side is the orthodox inheritance, and the nephews of Emperor Xifeng supported by Li Zongxun are not true sons of heaven, and they can't be counted.
"Andu is in a very dangerous strategic place, needless to say, it is needless to say that it can advance or retreat, the most important thing is that Andu is subordinate to Xinzhou, the waterway is developed, and it is extremely convenient to transport troops and materials, what kind of vision does King Yonghuai have, he has already figured out the situation, this time, I am afraid that Li Zongxun's ass is about to burn, and he can't sit still......"
"Hahahaha."
"So, after the construction of the auxiliary capital, you have to fight Yecheng?"
"When to fight, it depends on King Yonghuai's thoughts...... According to the old man, he has just fought with Beirong, and now the people's livelihood is withering, the grain and grass are not abundant, and there is a locust plague this year, so I am afraid that it will drag on for a few years. ”
The old master was right.
A crowd of people surrounded him, sighing frequently.
Feng Yun's carriage passed slowly past the tea house, and when he looked at it, he saw Ren Rude sitting inside, followed by Jin Ge.
The two of them held tea in their hands, which was very comfortable.
She asked Xiaoman, "I remember that Mr. Ren's tea house was opened by the city gate, right?" ”
Xiao Man nodded, "The servant also remembers that it was at the West City Gate." ”
A person who runs a tea house to drink tea in someone else's tea house and listens to the old master's nonsense, he is really idle.
She turned back and asked Ah Lou.
"How many hours does Mr. Ren have to learn in the village?"
Ah Lou will give Ren Rude a monthly meal, so he knows his class hours very well.
Immediately said: "Mr. Ren comes here every two days for half a day, which is considered leisure." The students all enjoyed Mr. Ren's classes, saying that he was funny, knowledgeable, and knew everything. ”
A man who has traveled all over the world and read poetry and books has a way of coaxing children into a daze.
This Ren Rude is Xiao Cheng's first staff.
He really calmed down and retired in Huaxi Village?
Xiao Cheng is also willing to let such a talent teach children to read and write in Huaxi Village?
Feng Yun asked some more about Ren Rude.
But Ah Lou said that he was very well-behaved in Huaxi Village, never violated the village rules, treated his neighbors very kindly, and was a teacher for many children, and was very respected.
If Feng Yun hadn't known his details in advance, he wouldn't have been able to see half of the flaws.
Their intentions were unclear, and Feng Yun also decided to stay put.
Let's see who can afford whom.
Feng Yun didn't say anything more.
Yuan Shangyi suddenly asked.
"Lady, are we short of food?"
When Feng Yun looked at the little emperor again, he found that his face was solemn.
The six-year-old child, who used to be raised in the deep palace, never knew where the food came from, let alone how expensive this thing was.
After hearing and seeing in the village for a while, he has already learned a lot of truths.
Feng Yun smiled, "A-Yuan knows everything?" ”
Yuan Shangyi nodded.
Feng Yun said: "It seems that when you are too young, it is not entirely good to observe the people's feelings. ”
The children are becoming unhappy.
Feng Yun touched his head, "Don't think too much, your courtiers will deal with it." ”
His courtiers.
Yuan Shangyi thought of the expressionless cold-faced King Yonghuai.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Feng Yun with a blank look.
"Did the lady quarrel with King Yonghuai?"
Feng Yun laughed, "Why do you say that?" ”
Yuan Shangyi said: "Otherwise, why didn't King Yonghuai come back?" Aren't you husband and wife? Husbands and wives should live together. ”
This is the most unpretentious view of a child.
He didn't have that kind of perception before.
But the husband and wife in Huaxi Village are like this.
He specially consulted Lin Nushi, and only then did he figure out the basic ethics......
In Lin Nushi's mouth, she actually didn't have any good things to say about Feng Yun, but coming and going, it was nothing more than saying that her woman's morality was hindered, which made Yuan Shangyi very unhappy when she heard it.
Feng Yun was silent for a long time and did not speak.
There are some things that cannot be explained clearly to children.
She could only respond seriously: "We are different from ordinary couples. The king is busy with official duties and has a lot of things to do, and I am the same, we are all too busy. ”
Yuan Shangyi asked, "Then you won't miss each other?" ”
Feng Yun looked at him and hesitated, "I will think." ”
Yuan Shangyi suddenly put his hand on the back of Feng Yun's hand and said sincerely: "Lady, I am willing to return to Beijing." You can accompany me back to Xijing. ”
The child's sincere eyes were full of anticipation.
He didn't want to go back to Beijing, but he thought that Feng Yun stayed in Andu because of him, and he didn't stay with King Yonghuai, and he also recruited those people who raised Xinzhai to chew the root of his tongue behind his back.
Yuan Shangyi didn't want to go.
Feng Yun looked at Yuan Shangyi like this, and inadvertently remembered the small Qu'er in her previous life, and ran to her with an umbrella on a rainy day and told her.
"Qu'er grew up and wanted to move to Zhaode Palace by herself. Qu'er has been to see it, and Zhaode Palace is very big and beautiful......"
What little child wants to leave his mother?
is nothing more than afraid that his mother will be embarrassed in front of his father in order to protect him. At that time, whenever Xiao Cheng went to Feng Yun's palace, he was not in a good mood when he saw Xiao Qu, and the child sensitively realized that he was unpleasant, and it was an obstacle between his father and mother......
The heart of a childlike child is as pure as washing.
Feng Yun naturally disagreed.
Qu'er was like this, her bright eyes stared at her like stars, her soft little hand came up, and she said softly:
"Mother, you should allow the child, the young bird must fly alone when it grows up, and the son should also be independent in order to grow big wings......"
"Lady?" Yuan Shangyi clenched her hand, "You accompany me back to Xijing, okay?" ”
After a moment, Feng Yun came back to his senses and heard clearly what the kid was saying.
Subconsciously, she held Yuan Shangyi's small hand and hugged his body tightly.
"Thank you A-Yuan for thinking about me, but I can't leave now, if you want to go back, I can send someone to see you off......"
Yuan Shangyi's eyes really showed a different color, and his small mouth pursed.
Feng Yun understood, and smiled faintly, "A-Yuan doesn't have to worry, it won't be long before we can be reunited as husband and wife." Isn't Andu about to set up an auxiliary capital and build a palace? ”
Yuan Shangyi asked: "Isn't it true that the lady stayed because of me?" ”
Feng Yun felt very sorry for him.
"Of course."
Yuan Shangyi immediately became happy, "Okay, let's stay in Huaxi." ”
As long as he can be with the lady, he is happy wherever he is.
-
The carriage passed by the tea house.
The folding fan in Ren Rude's hand was slightly retracted, and he looked back at Jin Ge.
"That is Feng Niangzi's car?"
Jin Ge saw it just now.
He lowered his eyes, "The subordinates didn't pay attention. ”
Ren Rude glanced at him, a gentle smile on his face.
He didn't speak, got up and walked out the door, looked at the carriage in the distance on the long street, stood silently for a moment, and then sighed softly.
"Your Majesty has waited too long. As subordinates, we still have to pay more attention to share the worries of His Majesty. ”
Jin Ge knew what he was talking about, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"Feng Niangzi is dedicated to making a living, and according to her subordinates, she has no intention of returning to Qi......"
He raised his eyes and looked at Ren Rude again, "Forgive your subordinates for saying a rash word, instead of waiting hopelessly, Mr. Ren should give a few more words of advice in front of Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty can take back the Sacred Heart and find another good fate." ”
Ren Rude laughed.
"You kid dare to say it!"
He glanced at Jin Ge and lazily opened the folding fan, looking scheming.
"If Your Majesty was so easily persuaded, how could I wait until now? You, who have been with Your Majesty for so long, don't even understand Your Majesty's intentions......"
Jin Ge was silent.
Compared with Ren Rude, he really wouldn't guess Xiao Cheng's heart.
Ren Rude snorted, glanced at him, returned to his home at the West City Gate, spread out the letter and wrote a secret report to Nanqi.
"Since leaving in June, Feng Twelve Niang and Pei Yan have not communicated for several months, according to what the minister saw, the two of them separated from Germany, and they were afraid that sooner or later they would have to separate from each other."
Jin Ge frowned.
Didn't this gentleman talk nonsense and add fuel to the fire?
Even if Feng Twelve Niang doesn't communicate with Pei Zhen, she may not be willing to go back with His Majesty.
His eyes were full of puzzlement.
Ren Rude told him with a confident expression.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty loves to see this. Waiting to be rewarded. ”
Jin Ge: ......
While holding the bounty.
While having a good time in Andu.
That's a pretty good job.

After buying things and returning to Zhuangzi, Feng Yun asked people to send a batch of winter clothes to the Beiyong army camp.
In fact, it is still early to enter winter, but this batch of winter clothes is made of leftover materials from last year, and it will occupy the warehouse if it stays.
She asked Xing Bing to deliver it in person, and by the way, she asked Wen Xingsu when he would come over for dinner.
Xing Bing came back in less than two hours, and before he could tie up his horse, he ran in like a gust of wind, taking three steps and doing two steps, looking panicked.
"The lady knows that the king is injured."
Feng Yun was slightly startled.
"He is in the Yonghuai Palace, Xijing, and there is a guard battalion to guard him, why is he injured?"
Xing Bing raised his eyes to look at her, "King Yonghuai was attacked and injured on the way back to Andu. ”
"Back to Andu?"
Since the last letter that was too short to be shorter, Pei Yan has not said a word.
She was busy and didn't take the initiative to write letters.
From the fiery entanglement before leaving to the estrangement after separation, the two people are really like a pair of fornicating men and women, except for that idea, there should be no contact with each other.
Feng Yun didn't know about Pei Zhen's return to Andu.
She asked, "Is it badly hurt?" ”
Xing Bing hesitated.
"I heard that the king was unconscious. I guess it's a serious injury, right? ”
Feng Yun's gaze gradually turned cold.
Xing Bing said again: "The news just arrived in Daying today, and the king came back to attend the wedding of the Assassin's Mansion, but unexpectedly encountered a large number of mountain bandits robbing the road......"
Ordinary mountain bandits, how can they help Pei Zhen?
Feng Yun felt that this matter was strange.
Xing Bing saw that her face was calm, and her pounding heart also eased up.
Da Langjun said that someone had already been sent. Let the lady notify the Puyang medical officer here, and go to Wanning City to answer the ......"
Feng Yun's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly:
"You go and call the Puyang medical officer to prepare the wound medicine. I'll go and change my clothes and walk with you. (End of chapter)
