[Seventy-five] The first dandy in the Song Dynasty

With the experience of the last snow disaster, the imperial court directly paid the locust plagued areas the second summer and autumn tax and the grain owed in the previous year. That is to say, the previous money does not need to be repaid. .

Even so, it is not easy for ordinary people to survive. The food they planted was wiped out by locusts.

Zhao Jue played a role at this time. He produced one-third of the sweet potatoes and potato seedlings, and the rest came from the court, and sent them over. Of course, after the locusts were almost wiped out, otherwise It's useless to plant it.

Although he produced a lot of seedlings, most of them were sent to his own fields. This is why he is so generous, one-third of them are sold out. There is no way, he bought more land. Since If it is a natural disaster, we must take responsibility.

After all, he's a big landowner, isn't he?

Ask why Zhao Jue Dasong bought land everywhere, who made every place famous for its delicious food, take the disaster-stricken Weiwei as an example, the specialties include peaches and green persimmons.

Basically, as long as there are particularly famous and delicious foods, Zhao Jue is interested. Whatever Pang Yu points out, he will pay for it, which is very rich.

For his peaches, he couldn't let them go any longer. The persimmons were average, but he had planted many apple trees in Deng, and Fathead Fish said that the apples were delicious.

It was really difficult for him to order food. As soon as the locust incident was over, his imperial brother came to him. Zhao Jue was puzzled by this and came to Da Nei. Last year, he had moved out of the palace and lived in He moved into the mansion his brother built for him, but the bedroom he lived in was still vacant and unoccupied. If he wanted to go back to the palace, the place was still his.

"Brother, why did you ask me to come?" Zhao Jue sat lazily in front of Zhao Heng. His brother didn't dislike him for sitting or not, but asked people to serve him dishes.

"Come here, today I specially prepared your favorite roasted whole lamb." Zhao Heng asked someone to put the fresh and tender roasted lamb in front of Zhao Jue. His younger brother loved to eat roasted lamb since he was a child. .

"Brother, you are so kind." Zhao Jue said with a smile.

Zhao Jue didn't tell his brother that he didn't like roasted whole lamb so much recently, but he still accepted his brother's kindness, and happily dropped a leg of lamb.

"Jiu'er, your appetite has decreased recently?" Zhao Heng looked at his younger brother worriedly, eating so little, but he didn't look like Zhao Jue at all.

"I don't know, brother, you asked me to eat. I ate a lot at home." Zhao Jue said that his cook's skills were much better than that of the imperial chef, but he dared not say it.

After all, all the cooks in his family have been trained by Pang Yu, and each of them is now a superb chef. The most important thing is that these cooks still dare not go out to make money behind his back. I'm afraid I don't want to be a cook anymore.

"So it's my brother's fault." Zhao Heng said with a good-tempered nod.

"How could it be my brother's fault, it's a pity that I can't finish eating." Zhao Jue looked at Zhao Heng in surprise, his brother's temper has changed a lot?Or is there a conspiracy?Zhao Jue suddenly became alert.

"You are still so greedy, as if I didn't give you anything delicious." Seeing that Zhao Jue really couldn't eat, Zhao Heng said helplessly with a regretful expression on his face.

"It's delicious." Zhao Jue licked his mouth, the aftertaste was good, and then he remembered to ask, "But, brother, what did you come here for?"

"You're not too old..." Zhao Heng glanced at his younger brother, and began to talk in clichés again, but as his health got worse and worse, Zhao Heng was really worried about this younger brother.

"!" Zhao Jue frowned instantly, why did he come again! "Brother, I'm not married!"

Zhao Jue is resistant to getting married. At least, he doesn't want to get married until he finds a relationship like his starling who likes sister-in-law so much.

"How can we live if we don't get married, how will we live without the concubine taking care of the backyard?" Zhao Heng said with a glare at Zhao Jue.

"I have a sister in the palace." Zhao Jue said as a matter of course, as long as there is a big palace lady, he can solve it for him at any time.

"Nonsense, can the palace maid manage your backyard for the rest of your life?" Zhao Heng was speechless. It must be his fault that made his brother so naive.

"Why not?" Zhao Jue asked, blinking his eyes in confusion.

"You child, how can you be so stubborn?" Zhao Heng couldn't help sighing, looking at his younger brother's delicate face, as he grew older, everyone else began to grow old, his younger brother was no different from when he was 16 years old, but Thinking about his own body, if he doesn't take advantage of his health and waits for him to be gone one day, Mrs. Liu...Zhao Heng said, "I've asked Si Tianjian to forget it for you, your beloved concubine."

Zhao Heng knew that Empress Liu and Zhao Jue didn't get along. Anyway, the two of them didn't like each other. Chong'er was a monk, so Liu couldn't do anything to her. His younger brother...was raised by him, and he was rather cute. naivety.

If someone decides on the marriage, he doesn't dare to think about it, this kid is very stubborn about what he believes.

"???" Zhao Jue looked confused, what?Does his princess have to rely on Si Tianjian to figure it out?

Is Si Tianjian so awesome?

"Come in." Seeing the eunuch's announcement, Zhao Heng waved his hand to let people in.

"I've seen the officials, I've seen the prince." Si Tianjian came in respectfully, there was no way, the two people here were both older than him, so they could only be respectful.

"Are you done with what I told you?" Zhao Heng didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, there was no way he was in a hurry.

"It's been figured out, this is the most suitable horoscope for the prince." Si Tianjian handed Zhao Heng what he had prepared a long time ago.

"Let me take a look." Zhao Jue grabbed it first, and Zhao Heng didn't have any objections, but leaned over to have a look.

"This horoscope? Why does it look familiar?" Zhao Heng glanced at the horoscope and said in doubt.

"Isn't this the day when you enshrined Zen?" Zhao Jue has such a good memory, he can tell at a glance that the October 25th of the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu written on it is not the day when they first traveled to Mount Tai.

"Really, so your princess was born on this day, at this hour?" Zhao Heng turned his head and asked again, "Are you sure?"

In the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, he was a little younger, but it's not a big problem, just find a wife who is younger than him, and it will be more painful.Even if he is exactly ten years old now, his younger brother doesn't want to get married so early, isn't it right in his arms.

"It's absolutely true that I dare to guarantee my life." Si Tianjian Jianzheng almost didn't swear to the sky, and finally said harshly.

"That's all right, just look for it according to the eight characters." Zhao Heng heard that the other party said so, so he couldn't doubt him, so he could only nod his head and give orders.

"Brother..." Zhao Jue still wants to act coquettishly to save him, don't look at him at 21, there is no pressure to act coquettishly, his brother is no different from his own father, why can't he act coquettishly?

"If you refuse, I won't let you leave Bianliang." Zhao Heng knew Zhao Jue so well, and immediately used his trump card.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Zhao Jue asked in a daze. Isn't that what he thought?

"I've thought about it for a long time. As a child of the old Zhao's family, and a boy, I still have to go out and venture out. As for your fief, I can't go back for the time being, but I will send you to a relatively rich place." Zhao Heng had never thought of letting Zhao Jue leave Bianliang, but his health gradually deteriorated, so he had to start planning for his younger brother.

Zhao Jue has no objection, it doesn't matter where he goes anyway, as long as there is something delicious to eat.

As for marrying the princess, he would like to see which family's young lady it is, so unlucky.

Two months have passed, summer is almost over, there is no news about the horoscope to find the princess, Zhao Jue is both lucky and depressed, fortunately there is no such person, and depressed because his brother said, there is no princess!Did not go out!

There has been no news from Zhao Heng, so I'm puzzled, why can't I find this person in such a big country?

In fact, after searching all over the country for two months, there was indeed some news, but it was not good news. Three of the women they could find were no longer alive. What could they do?

Even Pang Yuyan, who entered the palace back then, they checked, the time was wrong, but it was her twin brother, the time and so on were all right, but the gender was wrong.

That was looking for a concubine for King Xiangyang, not a book boy for him. Besides, King Xiangyang didn't like reading either.

So these people who were looking for someone were summoned by Zhao Heng, with bitter gourd expressions on their faces, it was really difficult for them, for two months, they couldn't eat well, they couldn't sleep well, and they couldn't do errands. Okay, why is it so difficult to find a concubine for King Xiangyang? ! (Xiao Zhao Zhao: Blame me?)

"Is there no good news at all?" Zhao Heng was desperate after waiting for two months. Is it so difficult?

"Officials, there really aren't any. We not only searched in aristocratic families, but also searched for folk women." Everyone was so dumbfounded by the official's question.

"Is that so? Could it be that God wants Jiu'er to die alone?" Zhao Heng said with a sad face after hearing this. "Can't you find any?"

Zhao Jue said that even his own brother couldn't curse him like this, why did he end up alone?Obviously he lives very happily every day!

And he has so many nephews, so many grandnephews!Where is the loneliness!

"Actually, the official family..." Seeing that the official family was so sad, the eunuch beside Zhao Heng couldn't help but say.

"Say it quickly, what are you hesitating for?" Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Heng couldn't help urging him.

"There is one in Bianliang City. It's just that the horoscope is correct and the gender is wrong." What can the eunuch do? Only when you are in a good mood can you live a long life.

"Oh? Let's hear it." Zhao Heng hurriedly asked.

"I don't know if the officials still remember the auspicious omen of the Pang family back then." The eunuch said immediately.

"Of course I remember that the little lady of the Pang family is still working as a little maid at Zhen'er's side." Zhao Heng nodded. He didn't forget this, and he was very concerned about his son's affairs.

"The one who matches the birth date is Pang Yuyan's twin brother, Pang Yu." The eunuch naturally knew everything.

Zhao Jue was shocked at the side. He thought he didn't need to marry a princess, but now he wants to marry a male concubine?

But think about it, if it was Pang Yu, he wouldn't seem so repulsive...
