Thousands of Miles of the Same Wind + Fanwai

Zhong Liran nodded, suddenly seemed to remember something, looked up from Gu Siyuan's arms, and said, "Gu Siyuan, don't look, let's check today's gift list!"

She reached out, took down Gu Siyuan's book, met her ignorant gaze, and looked at her with bright eyes.

The author has something to say: I feel tired, really tired, and close to myself.

Chapter 20 IV.3

The list of gifts for the officials at the banquet in the palace has always been arranged by the female officials around the queen, and then handed over to the queen for review before being sent to the treasury.Hearing Zhong Liran's proposal, Gu Siyuan, who always found it troublesome, hesitated and said, "Isn't the gift list handed over to Lan Cai?"

Zhong Liran glanced at her, raised his hand to hold her cheek, rubbed it vigorously, frowned and said, "Why are you so lazy."

Gu Siyuan groaned and uttered a few words under her palm, and he deserved to be justified: "I'm called to perform their own duties." Zhong Liran ignored her, stretched out his hand to pat her, and ordered the female officer to bring over the gift list.

After everything was delivered, Gu Siyuan couldn't refuse, so he had to ask the maid to carry a low table and put it on the dragon bed, and set it with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

An oil lamp was placed on the low table, and the two sat side by side in front of the luxuriant lamp.Zhong Liran was young, just enough to fit into Gu Siyuan's arms.At this time, she was no longer too hot, leaning against Gu Siyuan's soft embrace, counting the gift list happily.

Although it was a willow banquet, there was still a Queen's Birthday Banquet in the end, and the ministers would accompany the banquet when they went to the banquet.In addition to treasures, courtiers will also present silver taels with gifts.

Zhong Liran looked at the gift list, and told Gu Siyuan in detail where these treasures should belong, and carefully calculated the amount of silver and gold, and then said: "The treasures are all in your private treasury, so you can reward them in the future People. These yellow and white things, how about three or seven of us? You three, I seven."

Gu Siyuan looked at the child's excited appearance with downcast eyes, and said with a smile, "It's all up to His Majesty." In this way, the shooting of Liu Yan is officially over.

After the early autumn, the sun became more and more fierce day by day, and the heat was unbearable.Gu Siyuan, who was already extremely happy, didn't like to go out even more. Apart from getting up early to greet the empress dowager, he spent almost all day in the palace with ice mirrors.

Zhong Liran saw that she was so leisurely, so he gave her some simple memorials to check.After Gu Siyuan reads the memorial, he will read the book.This time, Clock Liran tossed her in different ways, for example, there was a servant serving pens and inks, but she asked her to grind them.Gu Siyuan doted on her and did everything one by one.

On this day, the two moved the table case to the inner hall of Chen Palace, took off their outer robes and sat on the futon on the ground to approve the memorial.The maids are all waiting in the outer hall and dare not enter the hall to disturb them.The two of them were halfway through their work, when suddenly a maid came to report that it was Zhong Lidai's Taoist boy who came to see His Majesty with a gift.

Zhong Liran had received a letter from Zhong Lidai a few days ago, hearing that her Taoist boy had come, she hurriedly put on her outer robe and came out of the inner hall.Gu Siyuan followed closely behind, and the two welcomed the Taoist boy who came with gifts.

It is not right to say that it is a Taoist boy.It was a woman in Tsing Yi, about 25 or [-] years old, with a dignified appearance, and looked very mature and stable.

Zhong Liran had never seen her at Zhong Lidai's place before, so he was vigilant, he protected Gu Siyuan behind him, and said with a stern face: "You are the Taoist who came to bring things to the palace for my aunt, what is your name?"

She walked to the main seat in front of the woman, and pulled Gu Siyuan to sit down together.The Taoist bowed and saluted, and said: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, to the Empress. Xiaodao Liangxia is Master's closed disciple, and he is here to present His Majesty on behalf of Master."

These words are neither humble nor overbearing, very strong.Zhong Liran thought for a while and asked, "Are you the disciple who planted corn for my aunt in the rugged mountainous area behind?"

Liang Xia cupped her hands, nodded and said, "I'm right here."

Zhong Liran suddenly realized, and matched this person with the description in Zhong Lidai's letter.So he smiled and said: "The Taoist priest has worked hard, I wonder what happened to the corn on the mountain?"

Liang Xia replied: "Your Majesty, the growth of the batch on the top of the mountain is not as good as that on the ground, but the harvest is not bad. From the beginning of spring to the present, the top of the mountain has been divided into three batches, and the three batches are planted according to the density of sowing seeds, fertility, etc. , obtained more reliable data.

Zhong Liran heard these things vaguely, she nodded, and listened to Liang Xia's explanation of the conclusion that this kind of corn can be planted in Chu State after comparative planting, and the yield is acceptable.

Zhong Liran breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Does Taoist Master Liang think that these bracts can be planted in Yanzhou's rugged and barren land, Lanzhou and Ningzhou and other high and cold places?"

Liang Xia bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, these few places still need to be supported by evidence. But at present, this kind of crops can be promoted in our country of Chu."

In the past ten years, the output of grain crops in Chu State has not been as good as before, especially in barren lands such as Yanzhou, where the output is even lower in places that are not suitable for planting rice.The reason why Zhong Liran is so stingy is to save some money to ensure people's livelihood.

If this foreign crop can really be planted, no matter how much it is, it will be good news in Yanzhou and other places.

So Zhong Liran said happily: "This is the Gospel of our country of Chu. Please also ask the good Taoist priest to send a message to my aunt. I still need some reliable evidence before I can carry out this matter."

Liang Xia's speech was delivered, and after being rewarded by Zhong Liran, he left without sadness or joy.

Although Zhong Liran got the news a long time ago, after hearing Liang Xia's detailed explanation, he still couldn't help being a little excited.Although she is young, her energy-raising skills are much better than ordinary people.Even so, after returning to the inner hall and taking off his outer robe, Zhong Liran could not bear the joy on his face.

Seeing her so happy, Gu Siyuan also vaguely understood what she was going to do.She took the letter from Zhong Lidai on the table, opened it on her own, and finally understood the way to eat this "Baogu".

So she sat down and said to Zhong Liran: "My great-aunt sent three carts of Baogu to the palace, what will His Majesty do with it?"

Zhong Liran thought for a while and said: "Just follow what my aunt said, cook the fresh and tender ones directly, dry the rest, grind half into flour, and cut the half into pieces to make noodles and paste, how about it?"

What else can I do, naturally everything is done according to the little emperor's wishes.

Gu Siyuan saw her wearing a middle coat and correcting the memorial, and suddenly thought of the beautiful face of the Taoist Liang Xia just now, and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, who is the Taoist Liang Xia? I listened to her words. He is quite insightful, but he doesn’t look like a monk of Taiyi.”

After all, many Taiyiguan monks were busy burning incense and praying for blessings, and few of them cared about farming.

Zhong Liran thought of something interesting when he heard the words, stopped writing and said to Gu Siyuan: "Gu Siyuan, do you still remember Du Jianyue that I told you about?"

Gu Siyuan nodded, and the villainous emperor said to her with a straight face: "This Taoist priest Liang Xia is the daughter of the Liang Shu Cheng of Guanglu Temple I mentioned."

Gu Siyuan was slightly surprised: "Huh?"

Zhong Liran explained: "Although Liang Shucheng's official position is humble, this daughter is extremely outstanding. She passed the examination of Hongwen Museum at the age of 17 and became a lecturer in Hongwen Museum. Later, she entered Taoism and became a closed disciple of her aunt. After taking a job in the museum, I followed my aunt and grandmother to concentrate on learning agriculture."

Gu Siyuan frowned when he heard the words, and asked, "Then what happened to Du Jianyue?"

So Zhong Liran told her: "When Liang Xia was a lecturer at the Hongwen Academy, she once taught Du Jianyue. This Du Jianyue probably fell in love with her teacher. Then Liang Xia left the Hongwen Academy to become a Taoist, and Du Jianyue Fall out with the Du family."

This matter sounds like a trivial matter, but when you think about it carefully, there are many tricks in it.Gu Siyuan figured it out after a little thought. It was absolutely impossible for Du Jianyue to fall in love with the Du family when Du Jianyue was still studying in Hongwen Library.

Gu Siyuan thought it through, and then looked at the little emperor who rolled up his sleeves and was correcting the memorial without any image, and said with a complicated expression: "Then how did your majesty know about this?"

The little emperor looked up at her, and said with a stern face: "Mr. Xiang told me." Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang have always been experts in handling information, and there is nothing they don't know about the gossip in Yuanzhou City.

Gu Siyuan thought, even the emperor knew about such trivial matters, so the little emperor already knew about her entry into the Hongwen Museum.She frowned, and said with some hesitation: "Then Your Majesty, did you already know my state of origin?"

When Zhong Liran heard this question, he looked at Gu Siyuan in disbelief, raised his voice and said, "Gu Siyuan, I personally checked the selection list for the Hongwen Museum, are you stupid?"

Gu Siyuan really thought about it, she smiled, stretched out her hand and pulled Zhong Liran's sleeve, and said softly: "Then, when did your majesty think about getting married?" She also played a scene in Taiyiguan , making people feel so pitiful.

Zhong Liran couldn't understand what she meant, so he glanced at her and said, "I admit that I decided to get married only after seeing your name. As I said, I don't want to talk to someone I don't know. marriage."
