I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Seeing Zhang Siyuan's eagerness to co-organize, Pei Yuan was overjoyed.

Sure enough, he was right.

Zhang Siyuan must have other intentions in doing this.

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of Pei Yuan leaving in a hurry, Wen Xu couldn't help shaking her head.

"Brother Pei came back and saw that I had already eaten, I'm afraid he will be angry."

The old house is not far from Zhang Xinyuan, and the smell of hot pot is penetrating. Just smelling this smell, Wen Xu knows that Zhu Qiuqi has made something good.

Everyone couldn't help being happy when they heard this, as if they were happy that they could trick Pei Yuan.

"Master Xu, this is the hot pot I introduced to you earlier."

Li Zheng saw Master Xu hadn't touched his chopsticks for a long time, so he introduced him.

The rest of the yamen servants were very surprised when they heard the words, "Why is this hot pot full of lettuce?"

When Lizheng heard this, he couldn't help being happy.

"All the dishes here have to be cooked by ourselves before we can eat them."

Lizheng saw that Zhu Qiuqi's spicy pot was ready, so he hurriedly picked up a piece of meat and a few vegetable leaves with serving chopsticks and put them in.

The meat is not yet cooked, but the vegetable leaves are fully cooked in just a few breaths.

Seeing this, Lizheng took the vegetable leaves to Master Xu.

"Master Xu, how do you taste it?"

When Master Xu saw Li Zheng's actions, he was also quite surprised.

He didn't expect to have such a strange food, especially the hot pot food, which made Master Xu even more novel.

Seeing the eyes of Li Zheng and the people around him, Master Xu looked at the piece of dish in the bowl, and his appetite increased a bit.

The spicy taste made Master Xu's cheeks slightly red, but his appearance made Li Zheng and those who had eaten it burst into laughter.

"Master Xu, does this spicy pot taste good?"

Master Xu took a sip of Zhu Qiuqi's homemade fruit wine, and couldn't help being speechless.

"This taste really gets better the more you eat it."

Master Xu didn't need to do anything again this time, he just picked up the serving chopsticks to pick up the food for himself.

The rest of the yamen servants also raised their chopsticks when they saw Master Xu's actions.

But before the county government waited for Master Xu and others to return, the county magistrate knew that Master Xu and others might not be able to come back in time from Xiaozhangzhuang.

Seeing the eyes of the remaining people, the county magistrate sighed.

"Okay, don't look at me like this, as if I have treated you badly."

"When I go to Xiaozhangzhuang next time, I will definitely let you go."

The rest of the people nodded when they heard this.

"Thank you sir."

Seeing the helpless appearance of the county magistrate, the remaining yamen servants were even happier.

After all, the appearance of the county magistrate means that there is a high possibility that they will be able to go to Xiaozhangzhuang.

They had heard about Xiaozhangzhuang a long time ago, and now Xiaozhangzhuang not only has lo mei, but also some fresh food that they haven't tasted before.

If they are not too busy on weekdays, they must go to Xiaozhangzhuang.

"Qiu Qi, Master Xu has truly become attached to our little Zhangzhuang this time."

Seeing the back of Master Xu leaving, Li Zheng couldn't help feeling emotional.

Zhu Qiuqi looked at Lizheng's expression, although she didn't know what Lizheng was thinking, it was a blessing for Xiaozhangzhuang that Master Xu had a close relationship with Xiaozhangzhuang.

When Xiaozhang Zhuang was happy and happy, in the Sima Mansion in the capital, Prime Minister Sima looked at the woman in front of him and frowned.

"I don't know what the princess is here for?"

The person sitting opposite Sima Lian was none other than Princess Chaoyang.

Now this Princess Chaoyang is a celebrity in the capital, such a stunningly talented beauty, now she has entered the Eighth Prince's residence as a concubine.

Anyone who hears such news will be saddened.

Especially those in the capital who were attracted by Princess Chaoyang's talent and appearance, after learning that Princess Chaoyang married the Eighth Prince, almost made their grandfather weep.

Some even forgot their wives and aunts in the mansion, leaving only Princess Chaoyang in their hearts.

But now such a person who is sought after in the capital is indeed sitting in his house disguised as a man at this time, which makes Sima Lian feel an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

Others may not know it, but Sima Lian knows it very well.

Princess Chaoyang is not as simple as she seems. A princess with a different surname can show her face in front of the Queen Mother. How can such a truly innocent person be able to do it?

What's more, the father of Princess Chaoyang, as the only prince with a different surname in the Great Zhou, not only was not feared by the emperor, but was even favored by the emperor.

The elite group of people in the court, seeing the emperor's demeanor, also understood that this king with a different surname might not be light in the emperor's heart.

Thinking of this, Sima Lian also treated Chaoyang Princess, the daughter of a king with a different surname, with a lot of respect.

"I don't know what the princess is looking for?"

Seeing Princess Chaoyang's smile that was not a smile, Sima Lian's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't seen Princess Chaoyang's scrutiny.

However, his expression made Princess Chaoyang appreciate it very much.

"Master Sima really lives up to his reputation, he is really a person as stable as Mount Tai."

Seeing that Sima Lian was able to deal with her beauty calmly, Princess Chaoyang was also very impressed.

In the decades of her life, apart from Zhang Siyuan, this was the first time she saw someone who could turn a blind eye to her beauty.

Sima Lian didn't speak, just looked at Princess Chaoyang calmly.

It is obvious that Princess Chaoyang can say such a thing at this time.

Sure enough, when Sima Lian didn't speak, Princess Chaoyang really couldn't help it.

"Prime Minister Sima, to tell you the truth, the Princess has something to discuss with Prime Minister Sima."

Only then did Sima Lian nod his head, "I wonder if the princess has any suitable orders?"

It may be that Sima Lian's humble attitude really pleased Princess Chaoyang, so that Princess Chaoyang, who had always been sad in the past, smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"The prime minister doesn't have to be like this, the princess also wants to ask the adults for advice."

Sima Lian still kept his head down, and he didn't even look up.

However, his appearance is more attractive to the emperor, and even more attractive to Princess Chaoyang.

"The princess Chaoyang has something to say."

Seeing Sima Lian like this, Princess Chaoyang didn't hide it anymore.

"I wonder how Prime Minister Sima views the Northern Expedition?"

Hearing Princess Chaoyang's words, Sima Lian frowned immediately.

If he remembered correctly, Princess Chaoyang's people opposed the peace talks in the court at that time.

"Northern Expedition or peace negotiations are official matters, and have nothing to do with us."

Hearing this, the civil servants and generals who followed Sima Lian were even more angry.

"Prime Minister Sima is unwilling to help?"

If she remembered correctly, Sima Lian had a son.
