Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Isn't it grand? A few years ago, Liuzhou was still a remote village with impassable roads, and no matter how many good things there were, they couldn't get out. After Governor Lu arrived, it took a lot of money to educate the people, build bridges and pave roads." It took so much effort to push out the two medicinal materials merchants, and the medicinal materials from our Liuzhou entered the title of the Imperial Medical Office, which attracted so many merchants."

"I remembered when you said that," Zhou Man blinked, "At that time, the medicinal materials were directly..." delivered to me, and the person who delivered the medicinal materials...

Zhou Man looked at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan smiled and said, "The governor of Liuzhou is Lu Xiaofo."

Yin raised his eyebrows, while Bai Erlang said "Yeah", "Why is it him?"

The shopkeeper looked at them in surprise, and asked tentatively, "How many of you know Governor Lu?"

"I know you," a faint voice sounded at the door. Everyone turned around and saw an elegant man standing at the door with his hands behind his back. ?”

Bai Shan smiled, "Guanyin, you know that we don't want to trouble you, you will visit us when we settle down, otherwise, when the soldiers in your governor's mansion return home, do I have an order not to reveal our whereabouts?"

Lu Xiaofo's word Guanyin was given to him by the teacher of Guozijian when he reached the crown. Because of this word, everyone was happy for a long time.

Only then did Lu Xiaofo smile, and he went forward to salute Mingda, "I will see the princess."

Mingda: "No courtesy."

Lu Xiaofo looked at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, raised his hand and was about to salute, but was supported by Bai Shan, "Okay, there is no need to be so polite between classmates, it will be dark when we finish saluting."

Lu Xiaofo gave up, and smiled with him, "How does it feel to travel along the way?"

"It's not bad, the law and order is very good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are many merchants in the city. You have contributed a lot."

Lu Xiaofo smiled and said, "Thank you very much. If you hadn't given me money and food to build roads and dredge rivers, I would have been hard-pressed to do this."

Bai Shan said seriously: "You can definitely do it, but it's just a matter of time."

He said: "The people under your rule want to live well, and you are dedicated to them, and the government and the people are of one mind. Why can't you achieve it?"

Lu Xiaofo was deeply moved by his affirmation, and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

Yin was probably not in the court, so he didn't know the whereabouts of the Guozijian students, so he asked curiously: "Where does Peng Zhiru work now?"

Bai Shandao: "He is in Chuzhou, Huainan, but I heard that he will return to Beijing this summer to report on his duties. I don't know if he will go to Huainan Road or stay in Beijing."

Lu Xiaofo still had contact with the other party, and said: "Stayed in Beijing, I heard that he joined the official department."

The shopkeeper came back to his senses at this moment, he didn't expect a princess to live in his store, and listening to the sound, this fair-faced and elegant man seemed to be in a high position, and he was able to help Governor Lu get the appropriation.

He sneaked a glance at a few people, and seeing that they were having a good chat, he trotted to the back kitchen.

The classmates haven't seen each other for many years, even though they haven't been classmates for a long time in the Imperial College, they have kept in touch with each other during the few years of studying in the capital, so their relationship is not bad.

Seeing the ugly orange that Zhou Man took out, he couldn't help but smile, "When I came to my place, I asked you to invite me to eat the local products here."

Bai Shan took the opportunity to smile and said: "I was just about to tell you that we want to go and have a look at tangerines. If possible, we can dig two tangerines and plant them ourselves."

"It's not difficult," Lu Xiaofo said, "It's just where are you planting it? It can't be planted in the capital, let alone the capital, and it's very difficult to plant it further north. Although it can survive, it will bear fruit. But the taste is totally different."

He obviously tried it, "Out of this area of ​​water and soil, the further north you go, the more sour the tangerines you grow, and many melons and fruits taste better only when they are grown in this area."

It is also because of this that after the road is connected, so many merchants can be attracted here.

Bai Shan nodded, but still insisted, "Let's try."

Lu Xiaofo said quickly: "Okay, I'll arrange the things at hand and take you to have a look in two days."

The tangerines here are also grown by the fruit growers, but every year they buy them with the fruit growers, and after sorting them out, they either pay tribute, give gifts, or sell them.

Production is not very high.

Lu Xiaofo said: "There are still some fruits hanging on the tree now, you can try the fresh taste."

"It was given to us two days ago..."

"Didn't it take two days to send it over?" Lu Xiaofo said, "It's different from the one just picked from the tree."

Having said that, not only Bai Shan and Zhou Man, but also Yin or the three of them are eager to try.

Lu Xiaofo asked: "Shall I hold a banquet in the mansion tomorrow to welcome you?"

Bai Shan hurriedly refused, "It's all right to see my siblings and your children, there is no need to invite other people."

Lu Xiaofo felt a little regretful, but he had already expected it in his heart. After all, they didn't even find him when they went to the city, let alone meet other unfamiliar people.

"Okay, you guys rest first." Lu Xiaofo knew that they had just arrived and was about to get up to say goodbye when the shopkeeper ran over excitedly, bowed and said, "Inspector, distinguished guests, the little one has already made the kitchen the best restaurant for the shop." I even killed two chickens and stewed the special dish, this time it will be ready soon, distinguished guests, let’s start serving it now, or..."

Zhou Man blinked, "We haven't ordered yet."

The shopkeeper said generously: "This meal is for the distinguished guests. The princess and all the adults are able to settle in this small shop. It is the blessing of the small shop. Just for this blessing, it is worth the small meal."

Upon hearing this, several people readily accepted it.

The shopkeeper ordered the kitchen to cook all the special dishes in their shop, including Shandong dishes, but more local dishes.

For example, chicken, they follow the way the locals eat it, first stewing the whole chicken and then cutting it, and eating it with dipping sauce, it is tender and smooth.

Lu Xiaofo simply stayed and had a light meal with them, and it was already dark when he got home.

Mrs. Lu had been waiting for him with warm dishes, and when she saw him coming back alone, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why, didn't you invite anyone?"

Lu Xiaofo smiled with her: "Don't worry, I'll clean them up at home tomorrow and call the children."

Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Lu Xiaofo comforted her: "Don't be nervous, they are very kind people."

Madam Lu smiled.

Lu Xiaofo thought for a while and then said: "It goes without saying that the princess is honorable, but that boy Bai Er, ahem, I mean that the white son-in-law is not a high-flying person, and he hasn't changed in so many years. Among them, he and Mr. Zhou are the most Easy to get along with."

Mrs. Lu asked curiously, "What about Master Bai and Mr. Yin?"

"Both of them, Bai Shan is kind on the outside and cold in heart to strangers; Yin or the opposite, he is cold on the face and kind in heart, but both of them are polite on the surface," Lu Xiaofo said with a smile: "What's more about us It's not a stranger either, so you don't have to worry."

Classmates and subjects are all contacts in the court. Lu Xiaofo and Bai Shan both entered the Imperial Academy in the same year. Not only did they have classmates, but they also lost their parents when they were young.

After he became an official in the imperial court, he often kept in touch with him. When he was sent to Liuzhou, a remote place in the countryside, the first person he sought was Bai Shan.

Later, with the help of Bai Shan and Zhou Man, they pushed out the medicine merchants here, and gained a reputation for several medicines, which made Liuzhou's business flourish.

Mrs. Lu nodded, expressing her understanding.

See you tomorrow
