On this day, the usually cold Qingshan Courtyard was lively, more than a dozen tables were set up, in addition to the people from the household, even the people from the Zhuangzi were invited, Yan Yunzhou changed into a more formal clothes, a long gown with dark blue dark lines flowing clouds, a black jade belt around his waist, and a light purple feather gauze coat, which was dignified and elegant and noble.

It was Ning Qi who saw that the eyes of the person sitting in the hall lit up, this person is really good with heavy makeup, how to look good.

"Xiaguan and others will meet the prince."

"The grass people wait to meet the prince."

Yan Yunzhou propped up the armrest, and quietly held his elbow, and the man walked under the eaves:

"No need to be polite, this is not a court or a palace, it's just a hard work, please have a light meal, everyone don't have to be restrained, let's take a seat."

Yan Yunzhou and Ning Ji sat at the front table, and the same table was naturally the head of several households, and they sat with them in the style of writing posts, this pressure was really not ordinary, Yan Yunzhou didn't move, no one dared to move, but Ning Ji smiled:

"Eat quickly, if you don't eat, we are all hungry."

Yan Yunzhou smiled and picked up the vegetables:

"You all eat more, the rest of this meal is wasted, young men, eat more, in the future, you Lord Luo will see me, you should blame me for starving his soldiers."

Originally, Chen Xiaoyi was afraid that this Prince Yan was acting like a show, and hinting at something by eating at noon, but after a meal, he talked a lot, and didn't say a word about Qingzhang, and he was even a little afraid that he would not be able to go home, would he be wrong, could it be that the prince's hints were very vague? Didn't he hear it?

Ning Yi couldn't see the twists and turns in their hearts, and the meal was a little funny.

Only at the last moment, Yan Yunzhou put down his chopsticks and spoke:

"The household department is the household department of the Great Liang, it is the household department of His Majesty, this Qingzhang will continue, no matter what kind of dignitaries and dignitaries will entertain you in the future, this king only asks you to remember, your actions are related to the fullness of the treasury of the Great Liang, about the face of Your Majesty, I hope you will remember."

Chen Xiaoyi and the others stood up and saluted:

"The lower officials and others should remember the teachings of the prince."

After the meal, Yan Yunzhou did not mean to leave several household officials alone to speak:

"You can rest here for a while, this king is not in good health, so I won't accompany you."

Chen Xiaoyi and the others hurriedly got up to see each other, and Ning Zhi accompanied Yan Yunzhou into the inner room, leaving a group of people looking at each other outside:

"My lord, did he really just invite us to a meal?"

"Yes, my lord, he doesn't mean anything else, does he?"

Chen Xiaoyi pulled the people left and right:

"Quick, you help me think about it, the prince really didn't hint at us anything just now, right?"

"I don't think so."

Ning Ji accompanied Yan Yunzhou into the house, and when he got inside, he couldn't help but smile:

"The prince's demeanor today is really eye-catching, why have I never seen you wear this dress, so good-looking and temperamental."

Yan Yunzhou glanced at him:

"The saliva is pouring out."

Ning Yi wiped his mouth cooperatively:

"Why did you suddenly remember to have a treat? You see, it's scary. ”

Yan Yunzhou looked outside, his eyes sinking slightly:

"They will see such a scene in the future, rather than being flustered at that time and not knowing how to deal with it, it is better for this king to see them first."

Ning Yi also raised his head thoughtfully, and instantly understood what Yan Yunzhou meant, even if the current household department was in the hands of Luo Yueli, the people in the household department were still officials, but after all, those people were not Luo Yueli.

Most of the people in Qingzhang are some petty officials of six or seven grades, although there is an edict, but after all, the official level is crushing people to death, not to mention which family's countless fields will be only one level bigger? After clearing the fields, they will see more dignitaries and dignitaries, maybe they will use power to oppress people, it is not for sure, it is better to see Yan Yunzhou today, and it is good to familiarize yourself with such an occasion first.

This officialdom pays attention to the upward and downward effects, and the people below will naturally observe the attitude of the people above, who can say that this big beam is more powerful than Yan Yunzhou? Yan Yunzhou's move was to let them know that it was imperative to clear the land, His Majesty had determination, and the court also had determination, and it was not an errand that could be fooled around on weekdays, so it must not be adulterated.

"Our prince is different as soon as he comes out, what I said, how do I feel imposing."

After speaking, Ning Yi pretended to learn what Yan Yunzhou had just said:

“… This king only asks you to remember that your deeds are related to the fullness of the treasury of Daliang and the face of Your Majesty..."

Yan Yunzhou didn't stop him from playing treasure there, but looked at him with great interest while drinking tea on the side, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, Ning Qi's elbow was propped up on the table next to him, carefully pondering the words of the person just now, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it extraordinarily imposing to add the word "king"? After that, when I speak, should I add a Benhou in front of it? ”

Yan Yunzhou smiled and took a sip of tea that almost didn't spray on his face:

"Look at your little bit of talent, add, you can add as much as you want."

Chapter 125: Saltpeter Ice Making

Yan Yunzhou put down the tea in his hand and said with a smile:

"Hou Ye is still going to watch it in the afternoon?"

Ning Yi nodded:

"Of course, there must be a beginning and an end to doing things, let Dark Xuan send you back to rest in a while, and I will go back at night."

It seemed that it was just a meal at noon on this day, but in the afternoon, the enthusiasm of the household department and the head of the village to do things was all different, and Ning Qi listened to the people who came to report below that he saw a few people on the Zhuangzi of the Zhou family outside, and he didn't care:

"Don't worry about them, let them see, if anyone wants to ask what the prince said at noon, don't hide it."

"Yes."

Everyone didn't stop this afternoon, looking at the process, they couldn't move their efforts to check the Zhou family's land this day, Ning Jiao was not in a hurry, even the little head of the household department was not in a hurry, looking at what Luo Yueli had explained in advance.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the busy work of more than a dozen or twenty people on this day has finally roughly measured the land of this palace, and it is indeed more than a dozen acres of land, and Ning Yi doesn't have to wait for Yan Yunzhou's meaning:

"These dozen acres may take some time to trace, but the land will be divided and handed over to the household department, and how to distribute it in the future will all be subject to His Majesty's holy judgment."

Chen Xiaoyi never thought that today's difference would be so good, and this is the end of it? Seeing that Ning Qi was not ready to leave them for a meal at all, he was ready to leave:

"Master Hou, it's getting late today, and the fields of the Zhou Mansion may be tomorrow, you..."

How could Ning Yi not understand what Chen Xiaoyi meant, this was to make him bold in his presence:

"The prince has stayed in Zhuangzi to recuperate for the past few days, and this marquis will naturally go over with you after receiving His Majesty's will."

"Yes, the lower official is relieved."

After this wave of people left, Ning Ji couldn't help but smile when he turned his head, which said that the feeling of "Ben Hou" was different.

It was not early when Ning Qi went back in the evening, Yan Yunzhou was waiting for him to come back and finish his meal, and when he saw the spring breeze coming in proudly, he knew that today's things should be done, and he laughed softly and teased him:

"Ben Hou is back."

Ning's footsteps are all a meal:

"Yes, I have a delicate flower at home, but don't I have to go out to explore the rivers and lakes? What did you do at night? I'm hungry. ”

Yan Yunzhou looked at his tanned face and handed him a cup of tea:

"Didn't someone bring you a snack in the afternoon? Didn't eat? ”

Ning Yi was also really thirsty, and picking up the cup was a meal:

"Just that one box, so many people work, why am I embarrassed to eat by myself?"

Yan Yunzhou smiled and pulled him to sit down:

"Okay, then let's eat more at this time, and pass the meal."

The vegetarian dishes on this Zhuangzi are well cooked, but for Ning Qi, when he eats the first meal, he feels that there is no oil and water when he eats the first meal:

"Hey, can I hunt around here? I miss your roasted deer and rabbits. ”

He also eats this stuff here, and in modern times, it is to go in.

"There are many farms around here, but there is no game, but there are mountains to the north, if you want to eat, I will let the guards take care of it tomorrow."

The weather at the end of May was also quite hot in the afternoon, especially today, Ning Qi felt that it might be more than 30 degrees, and his face was red in the afternoon, this time it was his own body, he was afraid of heat and not afraid of cold, and at night, Yan Yunzhou changed his bed clothes and sat on the soft floor to read a book, and he watched him sit on the edge of the couch and fan the wind constantly.

"Is it so hot?"

Ning blamed the past:

"Look at the sweat on my face."

Yan Yunzhou saw that Ning Yao's sideburns were covered with sweat, and suddenly smiled:

"You're so afraid of the heat? It's only the end of May, what do you do in the summer? ”

Ning Qi is also very unhappy, his summer happiness is given by the air-conditioned room and ice Coke, the body that Ning Qi used before seems to be very heat-resistant, it is estimated that the small body is not yang enough, he is a masculine body, and it is normal to be afraid of heat.

"What should I do, I'm hot, why is it so hot today."

Ning Qi belonged to the kind of physique that was more irritable when it was hot, Yan Yunzhou put down the book in his hand and called the people who were waiting outside to come in:

"Lord Wang."

"Go and bring some ice in the ice cellar."

Ning Ji heard that Bing's eyes were cold first, and then he paused, and subconsciously touched Yan Yunzhou's hand, sure enough, this person's hand is not how cold it is, but at least it is not hot, he waved his hand at the guard:

"Forget it, no need, your body doesn't need ice right now."

Yan Yunzhou's heart warmed, but he was still distressed when he looked at the sweat in Ning Qi's head:

"It's okay, I can cover it with a blanket when it's cold, you can't help it when it's hot, go get ice."

Yan Yunzhou still sent someone to get the ice after all, and Ning Ji was still a little surprised when he saw the large ice cube in the basin:

"Where's the ice cellar? Where did this ice come from? ”

"There's an ice cellar dug at the back of the yard, and in the winter we put a lot of ice in it, and in the summer we take it out and use it."

Ning Qi took a small stool, sat on the edge of the ice very unfiguratively, and even put his hands on it, the cold feeling was really very refreshing, but Yan Yunzhou frowned disapprovingly:

"Put your hands down, it's time for a cold."

Ning Qi smiled and took it away, and suddenly asked:

"Is there enough ice in this ice cellar for a summer? If you want to use ice in the summer, you can only use ice in the ice cellar? ”

Yan Yunzhou nodded:

"Well, naturally you can only use the ice in the ice cellar, otherwise where will the ice come from in this hot summer, in short, the ice in an ice cellar is enough for the palace, but there are few people in our house, and some of the houses have more rooms, so we have to save some use, and the smaller ones are not qualified to build ice cellars, so they can only use the ice in the case, which is a little tight."
