The crossed scholar

"Go back quickly, change your shoes, it smells too bad!" Xia Zhen'er didn't want to stay with Wu Yue anymore, the smell was really unbearable!

"Damn Zhu Xiaobao!" Wu Yue also blushed, and hurried back to her boudoir, kicked a pair of shoes far away before entering the door, and didn't plan to ask for any more...

Chapter 13 A Chance Encounter

Early the next morning, Ji Zhizheng set off with Wu Yue and others, accompanied by the accountant in princess clothes, who was in charge of accounting and accounting, and Ji Zhizheng brought the green tea processing that Zhu Xiaobao gave him. Way, he wants to make green tea by himself!

But the biggest difficulty of this trip is not the processing of tea, but horseback riding!Ji Zhizhen doesn't know how to ride a horse, but only a donkey.Wu Yue has already taken good care of him, and gave him the slowest and most stable horse, so Ji Zhizhen couldn't take it anymore after riding for a long time. Don't look at him riding a horse very majestic and chic, it's really his turn. Knowing that this thing is not easy, Ji Zhizhen's viscera have been displaced!The little donkey is still running steadily!

Originally, Wu Yue and the others could get there in two days for the distance of six or seven hundred miles, but now with the burden of Ji Zhizheng, it is estimated that it will take at least four days to travel, and Ji Zhizheng is still grinning, which makes Wuyue very speechless , even the 50-year-old accountant Mr. Fan seems to be able to do a job well...

Wu Yue and Ji Zhizhen left, but Zhu Xiaobao felt a lot more relaxed. Now Director Wu didn't need Zhu Xiaobao to process dung cakes, and even sent someone else to do the heavy work of carrying water.Now Zhu Xiaobao does not-heavy tasks such as weeding and pruning every day.And early this morning, Aunt Wei sent Zhu Xiaobao two new sets of clothes, the Tsing Yi caps worn by the servants, which were tailor-made according to Zhu Xiaobao's figure.Now Zhu Xiaobao finally wears the same clothes as the servants in the Nineteenth Princess' Mansion, and he can be regarded as a glorious servant in the Nineteenth Princess' Mansion!

But Zhu Xiaobao felt a little strange, as if his treatment had suddenly increased, Zhu Xiaobao guessed that this was all arranged by Director Wu!It seems that my few bowls of tofu soup are still very useful!Anyway, it must not be the effect of stinky tofu, because Director Wu saw the stinky tofu made by Zhu Xiaobao the day before yesterday. Smelling this stench, I was stunned to let Manager Wu run away!

Having nothing to do in spare time, Zhu Xiaobao took a look around the nursery. Although the Nineteen Princess Mansion is not very big, it still covers an area of ​​[-] mu. This nursery alone has more than [-] mu of land. There is a small river, and to the south is a lotus pond, where the princess takes a leisurely walk, not counting the nursery.But the flowers and plants there still need to be pruned by Zhu Xiaobao!

Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help sighing, the residences of these royal family and nobles were really extravagant, and more than 40 mu of land was considered small.The mansions of other princes and princesses are much larger, and many princes have thousands of people living in their mansions, including a considerable number of warriors and retainers!The Nineteenth Princess Mansion is very shabby, with only more than 200 people, 100 of whom are female guards headed by Wu Yue!

But Zhu Xiaobao didn't care about this, it had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to adapt to the life here as soon as possible and improve his treatment!To his surprise, a bright red and plump crayfish was found on the small river beach in the north, which made Zhu Xiaobao ecstatic, and another delicacy appeared!Of course, there is no way to make it today, and I have to hurry up and eat the rest of the stinky tofu, or it will be too smelly if I put it down.So today it is still bracken tofu soup and fried stinky tofu, Zhu Xiaobao also exchanged two big bowls of tofu soup and Mr. Wu for a pot of wine, although the degree is not high, it is just right for Zhu Xiaobao!In this early summer weather, drinking some of this wine is very pleasant!

"To be happy in life is to be full of joy. Don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born to be useful. When the gold is gone, it will come back... Five-flowered horses, thousands of gold, Hu'er will be exchanged for fine wine, and the eternal sorrow will be sold with the king! "He said happily, Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help singing a piece of "Will Enter the Wine" by Li Bai. Now he feels that his condition is getting better day by day, and many things in his mind are getting clearer and clearer!The most important thing is that now he has found something he is interested in, and he can practice many things by himself. This feeling is more fulfilling than the one in the book!

I was happy with righteous thoughts, and suddenly a soft voice came from behind: "Is this your poem?"

"Ah?...Princess? Er, Xiaobao has seen the princess before!" Zhu Xiaobao turned around and saw the nineteenth princess standing not far behind her, wearing a long light green dress, with a beautiful face and clear eyes.Although no powder is applied, it has an elegant and refined temperament!The long black hair is tied behind his head, so he is very casual!Behind him stood two female guards in samurai uniforms!

This is the second time for Zhu Xiaobao to meet the Nineteenth Princess, but it seems like the first time he saw it yesterday, unexpectedly he met again so soon!So Zhu Xiaobao was a little surprised, hurriedly stood up, bent over, as a salute!

"Hmm! Don't be nervous. I just walked around. I didn't expect to come here!" Xia Zhen'er smiled lightly. She found the way Zhu Xiaobao saluted very interesting, as if Zhu Xiaobao didn't like it. Kneeling, every time you bend down, it's considered a salute!Xia Zhen'er looked at Zhu Xiaobao's chubby appearance, and found it very interesting, and today Zhu Xiaobao was wearing a servant's clothes, and he was quite energetic!I couldn't help asking again: "Did you compose that poem just now?"

"Hmm! No, it's someone else's. I just know how to recite it!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head, but he didn't dare to fake it. If it was Ji Zhizheng, he would have the cheek to become his masterpiece!

"Oh! It seems that you are really a scholar! Why did you fall into slavery? And the Fourteenth sister would let someone like you be a substitute for the dead? It seems a bit unreasonable!" Xia Zhen'er still looked at it with a smile Zhu Xiaobao said.

"I... I was seriously injured by Gao Tiehua. I can't remember the past. Please forgive me! If I remember, I will tell the truth to the princess!" Zhu Xiaobao knew that many things could not be fooled by the person in front of him. It belongs to a princess, so it's all pushed to Gao Tiehua's body!

"Really? That's a pity! I hope you can think of it slowly in the future!" Xia Zhen'er said in her heart, I believe you!Gao Tiehua hit your back, but didn't hit your head!But Xia Zhen'er didn't want to wear him, but she didn't intend to leave at all!

This made Zhu Xiaobao a little unnatural. The Nineteenth Princess put him under a lot of pressure!This is the so-called coercion of superiors. Don't look at Xia Zhener's smile all the time, but Zhu Xiaobao still feels that Xia Zhener is much smarter than Wu Yue!Definitely a smart guy!

At this moment, Zhu Xiaobao took a sneak peek, and suddenly exclaimed: "What happened! It was burnt!"

After all, Zhu Xiaobao hurried to the casserole and picked out a few pieces of fried brown and black stinky tofu with homemade chopsticks!Put in six pieces of stinky tofu again!

Xia Zhen'er frowned, this fried stinky tofu is really made from this stinky stuff!No wonder Wu Yue hated this kind of thing so much last night!But looking at the fried ones again, it seems to exude a tempting fragrance again!Xia Zhen'er couldn't help but quietly swallowed her saliva!Fortunately, no sound was made, otherwise she would be too embarrassing as a princess!

But at this time, Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly put the freshly fried stinky tofu into his mouth, even though he was blowing hotly, he seemed to be enjoying it!It seems that he forgot that there is a princess watching him behind him!

"Bold!..." A female guard behind the Nineteenth Princess couldn't stand it any longer, this little fat man was so unruly!It's fine if you don't kneel down when you see the princess, but now you're eating wildly in front of the princess, and this eating is really not very elegant!

Although Xia Zhen'er immediately stopped the female guards behind her, Zhu Xiaobao was startled and came back to her senses a little at a loss. It seemed that Princess Nineteen had no intention of leaving!So Zhu Xiaobao asked a little uneasy: "Why don't you sit down and eat together?"

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, the nineteenth princess nodded happily. As soon as she finished speaking, the female guard behind her rushed forward, spread a square scarf on the stone pier where Zhu Xiaobao was sitting just now, and then invited The princess is seated.

Zhu Xiaobao couldn't help curling his lips, thinking that Lao Tzu's clothes are also new clothes, and the places where they have been made are not dirty. Is it such an exaggeration?

"Take it off! It's not cold now! There's no need for these!" Xia Zhen'er was discerning, seeing Zhu Xiaobao's disdainful eyes, so she said casually.

Zhu Xiaobao moved another stone pier, but this stone pier was a bit dirty, it was covered with dust.Zhu Xiaobao wanted to slap the dust away, but he was afraid that the raised dust would fall on the food, so he decided to just sit on it and forget it!

"Put that square scarf on him, and make sure the new clothes don't get dirty!" The nineteenth princess ordered the female guard just now, and the female guard immediately put the square scarf on the newly moved On the stone pier.

Just because of this, Zhu Xiaobao has a lot of affection for Princess Nineteen!Zhu Xiaobao also became attentive, ran to the utility room, and brought another pair of bowls and chopsticks and a cup!He also poured a glass of wine for the nineteenth princess!The female guard behind her wanted to interfere again, but was stopped by Princess Nineteen's stern eyes!It turns out that the princess has her own special bowls and chopsticks, how can she use the same bowls and chopsticks with a servant and eat together!But now Xia Zhen'er did just that, and that little fat man was so bold and reckless, he actually sat opposite the princess and exchanged cups!At this moment, the two female guards wanted to kill this little fat man!

But what I didn't expect was that Xia Zhen'er not only didn't have any scruples, but actually sent the two female guards away!Let them wait far away!In this way, Zhu Xiaobao became more relaxed!

"What's this thing called?" Xia Zhen'er also followed Zhu Xiaobao's example, saving some ingredients for the freshly fried stinky tofu, and then biting into small bites, it was much more delicious than what Ji Zhizhen brought yesterday, Not so spicy anymore!The key is that it has just come out of the oven. It is especially spicy and burns your mouth, but you just want this hotness!After eating a piece, I drank another sip of wine, it was really enjoyable, it seems that I have never eaten so carelessly and happily!The nineteenth princess actually had thin beads of sweat on her forehead!

"Stinky tofu! It smells stinky and tastes good! Most girls like to eat!" Zhu Xiaobao looked at the nineteenth princess in a daze. This is what a girl should be like!

"Hmm! Very good, very good! It's a pity that Wu Yue can't enjoy it! Well, by the way, this is the bar of Manager Wu? His wine is more vigorous!" Xia Zhen'er also let go completely, and ate heartily , During the period, I can guess the origin of this wine!

"Yes! I traded the tofu soup and Mr. Wu! I traded all my things with my own ability!" Zhu Xiaobao nodded and said proudly. At the same time, he filled Xia Zhen'er with wine, and then I also poured a glass and took a big sip!

"Oh? Then I have to pay some money too?" Xia Zhen'er asked jokingly.

"Well! Must! Forget it, so-so, four taels of gold, four taels of silver, four taels of copper, three or four taels of twelve! Not expensive, right?"

"miser!"

Chapter 14 Four taels of gold

Xia Zhen'er couldn't help laughing, this is the first servant who dares to make a price with a princess!And the price can be said to be blackmail!No matter how delicious it is, how can it cost four taels of gold?Although I don't know how Zhu Xiaobao made it, but according to Director Wu's report, this thing is definitely cheap!

Xia Zhen'er remembered, this 'four taels of gold, four taels of silver, four taels of copper' is exactly the second line Zhu Xiaobao used to deal with him!Now that I bring it up again, is it showing my talent or is it a hint?Can't help but feel moved!This Zhu Xiaobao is very similar to Ji Zhizhen, that is, they don't care much about the etiquette of going up and down.That Ji Zhizhen is also very casual, that is, he has a good temper, so he doesn't care about these things.If it were any other princess or prince, Ji Zhizhen's behavior would have suffered a long time ago. If it was light, he would be beaten violently, and if it was serious, he might not even save his life!

"Apart from being a matchmaker, you are also a cook. What else do you have? Why do I feel that you are really capable?" Xia Zhen'er looked at Zhu Xiaobao and asked.

"Hey! It's gone! It's really gone! I just want to eat and drink and live a better life!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and smiled.I was a little nervous, did I perform too well!This will make it easier to find troublemakers!

"Wu Yue said that you can help her make a good knife? Is it true?" Xia Zhen'er picked up another piece of stinky tofu that had just been fried, and began to rub the sauce on it by herself.Asked softly.

"No! I'm talking nonsense, otherwise, that elder sister would take it out on me again! Alas, being a servant has no dignity, and she is always bullied by others. She is still a woman!" Zhu Xiaobao was a little upset Said.

"Are you talking nonsense for helping you kill Gao Tiehua? In fact, Wu Yue is not so domineering at ordinary times, and her opponents are also very tolerant. Those servants will not care about what they do wrong! Do you have something wrong? Offended her?" Xia Zhen'er glanced at Zhu Xiaobao, then couldn't help but slapped her own mouth again, as if the dipping sauce was still too much, too spicy!

"No...no! Absolutely not. I've been staying in the nursery and doing rough and dirty work. How can I offend her?" Zhu Xiaobao immediately cried out guiltily, thinking of Wu Yue's tender butt , I still couldn't help but blushed!It seems that it is indeed a little cheap by accident!

"Really? Do you know why I gave Xiaoju to Blacksmith Huang? She secretly took my square leaf and gave it to Ji Zhizheng! Do you think I should send her away? And what did Ji Zhizheng do by stealing my square leaf? And it cost a tael of silver! Could it be that he has some bad habit? I heard that this person's reputation is not very good!" Xia Zhen'er looked at Zhu Xiaobao seriously this time, as if she believed that this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Xiaobao. Xiaobao has a relationship!

"Eh! Princess, do you think it's too spicy, come here! Eat a bowl of bracken and tofu soup, just eating fried food is not good for your stomach!" Zhu Xiaobao was startled, this nineteenth princess is very discerning. , Even the little things were noticed by her!Zhu Xiaobao quickly changed the subject, uncovered another casserole next to it, and helped Xia Zhen'er fill a bowl very attentively, and placed it respectfully in front of Xia Zhener.

"Hmm! This is the good thing Wu Yue said! It really is very tender/smooth and delicious!" Xia Zhen'er took a sip in surprise and praised.

There have been too many surprises and accidents in the past two days.Xia Zhen'er was more and more sure that Zhu Xiaobao and Ji Zhizhen were definitely not ordinary people.Xia Zhen'er ate half a bowl slowly, savoring it carefully, but Zhu Xiaobao, who was sitting across from him, felt a little thumping in his heart. The more Xia Zhen'er didn't speak, the more nervous he became!

"Princess, how about I serve you another bowl?" Zhu Xiaobao asked courteously again.

"En! No need, if you really want to, then help Wu Yue! After all, she saved your life!" Xia Zhen'er looked at Zhu Xiaobao seriously again and said.

"If I can really help her make a good knife, can you get me out of slavery?" Zhu Xiaobao asked hesitantly, but his eyes were full of expectation. What he hated most was the identity of this slave , No human rights at all!

"This is not acceptable! According to the regulations of the Great Xia Kingdom, slaves must be beheaded over a hundred times before they can be released from slavery except for fighting in battle. Apart from this, I can promise you everything else! And even if you can't be released from slavery, as long as you are in my house, I promise that you will not be enslaved, and I will no longer arrange rough and heavy work for you? Is this okay?" When Xia Zhen'er heard Zhu Xiaobao's words, she was overjoyed, knowing that Zhu Xiaobao might really have this ability!Immediately made a promise!

Being able to no longer do those dirty and tiring jobs is very attractive to Zhu Xiaobao. He feels miserable just carrying water every day!Of course, he couldn't get out of slavery right away, which was also within his expectation, although he was a little disappointed!

"Also, I also agreed to all three conditions you put forward to Wu Yue on her behalf, how about it?" Xia Zhen'er didn't order Zhu Xiaobao very bluntly, instead she kept discussing softly.The more it is like this, the more it makes Zhu Xiaobao feel bad to refuse!

"Hmm! Well, to let me make a move, I still have some necessary conditions!" Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while, then looked at Xia Zhen'er and said.

"Say it! If you want someone to give you money, if you want something, I'll send someone to buy it right away! Do you want Master Huang to help you?" Xia Zhen'er immediately said happily.

"That's exactly what I want to say. I need to keep this matter secret, and only your most trusted people can participate! And you must do what I say, without any objection! You must also know that if others find out about this matter, I'm afraid my life is in danger!" Zhu Xiaobao waved his hands and said.

"Oh! Yes, I was negligent! Tell me, what other necessary conditions are there!" Xia Zhen'er is already in her heart, this Zhu Xiaobao is very considerate!Even confidentiality and safety are taken into consideration!

"I want a lot of people to help me! I want two thousand catties of coal and one thousand catties of iron ore! I also want to ask some questions from the original Blacksmith Li in the mansion! And arrange a hidden place! Others are not allowed to enter casually! "Zhu Xiaobao said all his needs in one breath. In fact, he had already thought about these things. After meeting Wu Yue yesterday, Zhu Xiaobao seemed to have considered these issues!

"Don't use ready-made iron tires? I can buy the best iron tires produced in Yueling Mountain. Their iron tires are the best iron tires for making weapons! It's hard to find!" Xia Zhen'er asked a little puzzled, using Iron ore?Could it be that Zhu Xiaobao can refine iron tires better than Yueling Mountain?

"No need! Unless you can get Meteorite, I don't care about anything else!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said, looking very confident.

In fact, he had studied it the night before, and Wu Yue's knives had too many impurities and not enough carbon, so their hardness and toughness were not high.The reason why Gao Tiehua was able to chop off Wu Yue's knife with one blow was probably because her knife was made of better material!

This era is still relatively backward. According to Wu Zongguan's description, it should be the original block smelting method. Because the temperature is not enough, it can only be smelted into iron tires, then forged, reheated, and forged again, repeated countless times , but because the charcoal fire contains carbon, it has actually become inferior steel during the forging process!But too high a carbon content is not a good thing. The biggest disadvantage of such inferior steel is that it is too brittle, easy to break or chip!

The reason why everyone agrees that the iron tires of Yueling Mountain are the best is because it contains less impurities and is softer. It gradually absorbs the carbon in the charcoal fire during the repeated beating process. After countless times of tempering for a long time, This has formed what we often say is a hundred tempered steel, so this era also has high-quality weapons, but the process of making them is very long!Some people have to practice repeatedly for several years in order to build a good weapon!

"Okay! I'll let Director Wu do it!" Xia Zhen'er didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even ask whether Zhu Xiaobao was sure he could make a good knife.She just wants Zhu Xiaobao to know that she completely trusts him!

This made Zhu Xiaobao a little bit heartbroken. To be honest, he only has theoretical knowledge, and his real practical experience is zero.So Zhu Xiaobao asked hesitantly: "Princess, do you trust me that much?"

"Hmm! Because the tofu soup you make is even more delicious than what Wu Yue said! I believe that the knife you make must be higher than Wu Yue's requirements! Oh, by the way, how much do you want?" Xia Zhen'er laughed Then he took away the last piece of stinky tofu, and then asked with a smile.

"Didn't you just say it! Four taels of gold, four taels of silver, and four taels of copper! Among them, four taels of copper are the money for these tofu! Four taels of silver are my wages, and four taels of gold are my patent fees!" Zhu Xiaobao was also grinning. Said.

"Did you already know the purpose of my visit today?" Xia Zhen'er asked in surprise.

"Hey! The princess came to this dirty and dilapidated place like mine. Who would believe such a coincidence!" Zhu Xiaobao still said with a smile.

"Well! I was negligent! Then what is a patent fee?" Xia Zhen'er nodded, and it seemed that she was right, this Zhu Xiaobao must not be simple.I just don't understand how he got so miserable in the Fourteenth Princess' Mansion!

"The patent fee is the special fee for me to make a precious sword. That is to say, my making method is a unique skill, and I have to charge once for one use! If I accidentally make ten good swords this time, I'm sorry, please return me. The princess will pay another 36 taels of gold!" Zhu Xiaobao said shaking his head.

"Hey! It seems that Wu Yue did nothing wrong, and now I want to punish you again!" Xia Zhen'er couldn't help laughing.Then he stood up, stretched his waist, and said very comfortably: "Oh, it seems that I have never eaten, drank, talked and laughed so casually before, and I haven't felt this way for a long time!"

"Oh? Really?... Seems like four taels of copper is too cheap?" Zhu Xiaobao looked at Princess Nineteen's pretty figure and girlish delicacy!Can't help muttering softly...

The Nineteenth Princess shouted slightly annoyed: "Come here, give me all the leftover tofu soup! Hmph! Four taels of copper!"

Chapter 15 Busy

Don't look at Princess Nineteen's gentle attitude, tolerant and casual, but she acts very decisively.As soon as he returned to the study, he immediately sent people to handle the many matters Zhu Xiaobao proposed!At the same time, the newly bought shop has also been successfully taken over, and it is being decorated and furnished with great fanfare!Manager Wu was very busy all of a sudden!

And here in the nursery, a relatively remote place was selected and the boundaries were drawn. Without the permission of the princess, idlers and others are absolutely not allowed to enter!

This is where Zhu Xiaobao can show his skills.Not to mention, the Nineteenth Princess really gave her full support and sent more than 100 people to help Zhu Xiaobao excavate and build.There are sixty female guards among them!It can be said that the most powerful labor force of the Nineteen Princess Mansion has gathered here!

Don't look like she's a female guard, but she's unambiguous in her work, and she doesn't act coquettishly, on the contrary, she is very serious!Moreover, they got the advice of the nineteenth princess, everyone respected Zhu Xiaobao very much, and they were doing everything according to Zhu Xiaobao's command!

Zhu Xiaobao, on the other hand, is just pointing fingers now, and doesn't participate in those physical labors!This made him very satisfied. We are mental workers, so physical work is almost impossible!

In three days, a large pit of 10X30 meters was dug in the designated area, with a depth of two meters, and the bottom of the pit has been rammed and leveled!I have to say that these female guards are all very strong, and it doesn't seem too strenuous to complete these tasks!It is much more efficient than those servants!

Through these few days of contact, Zhu Xiaobao can be considered to understand something, most of these female guards are slaves!But there are also a quarter of the female guards who are ordinary, and a few still have houses and land, and even have their own slaves!But it was their original intention to follow the nineteenth princess, while their husbands took care of their wives and children at home, and took care of the farmland!The status of women in this world is very high!

The demarcated area is full of busy labor scenes, but Zhu Xiaobao is not idle. He has found Li Tiejiang from the original mansion. He has been following the nineteenth princess. He is also a slave, and he has married a wife and had children. His daughter is also a female guard in the princess mansion!So Li Tiejiang always looked proud and grateful in front of Zhu Xiaobao, because his wife was matched by the princess' mother herself!So Li Tiejiang is loyal to the nineteenth princess!

Zhu Xiaobao came to him mainly to learn about blacksmithing equipment and some processes in this era. Although blacksmith Li has been doing it for many years, his craftsmanship is average, and he can only do some ordinary work!But this is enough, Zhu Xiaobao just needs to know some basic information!

Manager Wu also sent two female guards, Pegasus, to rush back to Qingliang Mountain. The Wu family specially summoned several experienced kiln-making craftsmen!The nineteenth princess's mother's surname is Wu, and she is originally from the Wu family, so most of the residents in Qingliang Mountain belong to the Wu family, and there are a large number of people with good martial arts among them. strength.

In fact, Qingliangshan is also very busy here. Ji Zhizheng and others are buying tea leaves. This time, the tea leaves from new materials are different from the previous processing method. They use the method of frying greens instead of the original steamed greens.This made some tea farmers very surprised, but since they belonged to Princess Nineteen, they also completely obeyed!

From this point, Ji Zhizhen could see that the potential strength of the nineteenth princess was definitely not simple!Ji Zhizhen had never lived in Qingliang Mountain. When his father was teaching here, Ji Zhizhen was squandering everywhere!At that time, Ji Zhizhen was considered a very rich person. It wasn't until Ji Zhizhen squandered all his family wealth that he thought of coming to the Nineteenth Princess Mansion to find a job!

This time it was an experiment, so I didn't purchase a lot of tea, only two thousand catties.But Ji Zhizhen has high requirements, and must pick the sharpest and tender parts, and then follow the method Zhu Xiaobao taught him, first spread it out and cool it, then kill it at high temperature, knead it, and dry it!The whole process is correct, but Ji Zhizhen has no experience in this field at all, so he can only try bit by bit first. In the process, he also needs to rely on the experience of some old tea farmers. Of course, the tea processed a few days ago is very ordinary. The taste is a bit bitter and the color is too dark!

The situation improved in the next few days, but the quality was average, far from what Ji Zhizhen had expected!There is no way to do this thing, it takes time to accumulate experience.Now it can only be barely qualified!

In fact, most people are not optimistic about this fried green tea!In this era, Tuancha processed by steaming green is still popular!But Ji Zhizhen was full of confidence, and Wu Yue who was present could only listen to Ji Zhizhen, because this time it was the nineteenth princess who adopted Ji Zhizhen's suggestion!So Wu Yue was not very active, and she was still thinking about her own contest!So behave a little negatively!Some are out of their minds.

On the contrary, Manager Wu sent someone to summon the craftsmen, which made Wu Yue very puzzled and wanted to rush back, although the two female guards couldn't tell what Zhu Xiaobao was doing in that designated area!Just dug a huge hole.But he knew that this was all done according to Zhu Xiaobao's wishes!Now Zhu Xiaobao not only has not received any punishment, but is living in high spirits!

This made Wu Yue's heart even more anxious and depressed. What's going on?An abandoned slave from the Fourteenth Princess' Mansion actually started commanding her female guards!This is incredible, right?Ever since this little fat man appeared, all kinds of strange things have been happening non-stop!So Wu Yue really wanted to rush back immediately, but Ji Zhizhen's work here has not been completed yet!So Wu Yue had to wait patiently.

Originally, several days were reserved for the settlement of the tea farmers, but now it is over in only two days, Wu Yue is anxious!So let the accountant work overtime desperately to shorten the time as much as possible!

"Wu Huwei, can you get some good wine! Look at my mouth and tongue!" Ji Zhixuan called to Wu Yue who was on the side.

In this world, besides drinking tea and drinking, there is no other beverage!Even women like Wu Yue like to drink alcohol, but the alcohol they drink is too low, basically drinking it as a drink!And Ji Zhizhen's drinking capacity is amazing, and he likes high-alcohol wine. His previous record is that he drank two jars of wine, and he was able to calmly turn in from outside the courtyard wall of a rich woman.Ji Zhizhen really misses those delicious food, wine and rich women!

"I've already bought dozens of catties for you! I'm out of money!" Wu Yue said very dissatisfied. Not much, although the purchase of tea was carried with silver taels, but at that time, the accountant was very tight with public funds!

"Hey! Next time, I will ask Xiaobao to brew some good wine, and I will return it to you then! Just pay some more money!" Ji Zhixuan said a little rascally.

"Hmph! It seems that you are very familiar with that damned little fat man? Don't borrow it!" Wu Yue was furious when she heard Zhu Xiaobao!

"Hey! Ordinary, that is, mix some delicious food with him!" Ji Zhizheng smiled shyly, this time is good, it is impossible to borrow money to buy wine, this woman is too vengeful!Ji Zhizhen really misses the delicious food at Zhu Xiaobao's place, and also misses those little maids. Although the female guards here are heroic and good-looking, Ji Zhizhen is very self-aware, and she can't afford to provoke them at all. !

……

In the Prince Sheng's Mansion to the south of the imperial city, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness was playing with a dagger, and he kept admiring: "It really is the craftsmanship of Taoist Du Shi, very good! It should be considered a ninth grade! Oh, yes , What has Xia Zhener been doing lately? That shop hasn’t opened yet? And what about Wu Yue?”

"It's a little strange. The nineteenth sister has been very busy recently. Those guards came in and out, and they also bought a lot of coal. The strangest thing is that they also bought a lot of iron and stone, and various other things such as shovels and picks. I don't know. What are you doing! Wu Yue took a young man surnamed Ji who was recruited by Xinjin and went out of the city. My people didn’t keep up, I was afraid they would find out!” The fourteenth princess told all the information she had collected. To my own brother, the Sixth Highness Xia Zesheng!They are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother!

"Flint? Iron stone? It's justifiable for her to buy flint. Why do you buy iron stone? Could it be that you make iron tires yourself? It's really confusing?" His Highness Xia Zesheng said a little surprised.

"Don't care about her, she's just a little girl! Why do you insist on staring at her? Even the eldest brother and the second brother have gone to her, don't tell me you have taken a fancy to her too?" The fourteenth princess said a little Puzzled and asked, although my elder brother is more flirtatious, he never messes around in serious matters!

"Well! I'm just in case. After all, the father is getting old day by day. It is estimated that the battle for the throne is not far away. It will only be within two or three years. I don't want to have an opponent I don't understand! I don't want her to stand up Go to the camp of other imperial brothers!" Shaking his head, Xia Zesheng said in a low voice.

"Then what should we do now? She is not close to anyone, and she has returned all the gifts sent by the emperor brothers! We are also the same. The last time I let her fall into the lotus pond, she didn't respond at all!
