"What?" Shi Wenbing interrupted his daughter's thoughts.There are quite a few people around. His daughter stared at Brother Liu just now, and what words were heard in the ears of the emperor and the prince.

Shiliu returned to her senses, "It's nothing, isn't this the sixth elder brother who wanted to strike up a conversation with you, in case you would be too embarrassed to refuse, so my daughter specially rescued you. I think sixth elder brother is quite ambitious, maybe he wants to win you over. Let's Although I have a clear conscience, who knows what it will be like if the news spreads, what if the emperor and the crown prince misunderstand it?"

Of course you can't tell the truth, Ama may not believe it, she can only make excuses.

In fact, Shi Wenbing had already discovered the actions of the sixth elder brother, but the sixth elder brother is a ruler and he is a minister, so it is not good to blatantly lose face.

"Okay, Ama will pay attention to it herself, and you should be careful too." He heard about what happened on the road just now. Brother Liu is courting his daughter for a day or two. He doesn't care if Brother Six is ​​really paying attention It was his daughter who was the most unlucky to spread the word about his daughter.

After delaying for a while, the elder brother also caught up and was about to overtake pomegranate.

Pomegranate glanced at Eldest Brother, nodded to her, Ama, and then bent down to cut the rice.The elder brother's speed has improved, but the quality is not good. She glanced at it just now, and the rice behind the elder brother is unevenly arranged, and the harvested rice is not clean, and some are still left on it.

She didn't mean to look down on big brother because of this, on the contrary, it is rare for someone from big brother's background to be able to set his mind to harvest rice.When the two of them were in the wrong position just now, the elder brother looked up at her. She thought that the elder brother was going to play tricks or slow her down, but the elder brother didn't do that.

Instead, humbly ask her how to do it quickly and well.

At the last point, Pomegranate deliberately slowed down, and the two of them ended up at the same time.

The eldest brother glanced at her, "You won. Master is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose, you don't have to hold back." He knew how fast this little girl was before, and he knew everything clearly , The two completed the task at the same time, it wasn't the other party's release of water.

Many people think that he has a bad temper. Seeing him cringe and flatter him, he doesn't want his second younger brother Fujin to be like this in the future.He doesn't like his second brother very much, which doesn't mean he wants his second brother to marry a hypocritical woman.

"Brother, I'm worrying too much. Look back at the rice we harvested. It's not obvious who wins. Do you think the servant has kept his hand?"

The elder brother's face turned black, he decided to take back what he said just now, the girl of the Shi family is as annoying as the second brother, and they are a perfect match together.Let her go to the second brother's backyard, Huo Huo.

Kangxi, the crown prince and others were still cutting rice, the elder brother glared at Pomegranate, turned around and continued.This time without the pressure of the competition, he slowed down.

Several people have been busy all morning like this, nearly two hours.

Kangxi thumped his shoulder, "Haha, I haven't done farm work for a long time, and I'm not used to it for a while." His body was tired, but he was very happy in his heart.Zhuangzi's bad harvest means that the people can live a good life, and making the people live a good life is not his political achievement.This is much better than sitting in the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day correcting papers.

"Your Majesty, you have to eat at Zhuangzi at noon. Just now, the slave ordered his servants to twist some new rice, and the Emperor just happened to taste it."

"Shi Aiqing, I didn't expect Shu Yuan to be very considerate at such a young age, not bad. Shu Yuan, what's on the Zhuangzi, just look at the arrangement, I will come to have a home-cooked meal today." This is what Kangxi said The third one is good, which shows how satisfied Kangxi is with her.

Yinfeng was happy in his heart, which was even happier than Khan Ama Kuahe. "Shu Yuan, bring more meat, and prepare a few plates of Hangzhou specialties." He often eats with the emperor, and the emperor's preferences are similar.Khan Ama likes to eat special dishes when he is out of the palace. How can he not eat Hangzhou City when he comes to Hangzhou.

As for meat, their brothers all prefer meat, especially the eldest brother, who consumes a lot of work all morning, so he naturally needs to supplement more.

"Your majesty, why don't you, the prince, and all the elder brothers go to rest for a while, and I will let someone arrange it for you." The emperor came out of the palace with the imperial cook, saying that their preparations were actually done by the imperial cook.As for the ingredients, chickens and ducks are raised on the Zhuangzi, and vegetables are grown. There are loach, rice field eels, and crabs in the rice fields.

She ordered someone to prepare things an hour ago, and now she is not in a hurry when she hears that the emperor is staying.

"Your Majesty, this is the tea made by the servant himself. Try it to relieve your fatigue." She, Ama, loves tea, and Pomegranate planted several tea trees on the hillside of Zhuangzi. The one she brought out is Tianzun Gongya, This tea is as famous as Longjing tea, and it is also a tribute tea.It was also cultivated by her personally, and it is more fragrant than the tribute Longjing.

Originally, she was planning to send this tea to the prince in the capital, but when she learned that the emperor was coming to Hangzhou, she just took it out for the emperor to taste.

"Good tea." When Kangxi opened the lid, he felt the fragrance, and then he saw the tea leaves inside spread out like a tongue, and he liked the green tea even more.

Taking a sip, Kangxi nodded, it was delicious, even better than the Tianzun Gongya in his palace collection. "I didn't expect Shu Yuan to have such skills. I will be blessed in the future." After speaking, he glanced at the prince.

Yinfeng came back to his senses, lifted his robe and knelt down, "My son, thank you Khan Ama."

"Well, Shu Yuan is a nice girl, and she is sincere to you. You must not let her down in the future." Anyway, this matter is not a secret, so he simply opened up about it today.

"My son won't." Even if Khan Ama didn't say anything, he made up his mind to guard her and live a good life in the future.

Pomegranate realized later, her face flushed red.She lowered her head and pulled the handkerchief in her hand without speaking.

The elder brother drank the tea with a sour heart. He also wanted Fujin who was so capable and roasted the best tea. Khan Ama was really partial.

Kangxi was a busy man, and he would not really spend all his time cutting rice in the field. After lunch, he invited some good farmers to ask them about field management.Kangxi had something to say, which surprised these old farmers. They were more cautious in speaking, and did not dare to be perfunctory in the slightest.

Shiliu gave Kangxi all the experimental data on improving the quality of grain that she had sorted out, and answered Kangxi's questions.

"This is because the investment in the early stage of improvement is relatively large, and the latter should not require a lot of trouble. In addition, the second wave of experimental slaves have not had time to do it, and they don't know what the final output of the improved second-generation seeds will be. How much. If the output is low, it needs to be adjusted.”

What Shiliu said was right, Kangxi felt a little sorry, if Shiliu was a man, he would have brought him back to the capital, but she was a girl.Even if it was the future crown princess, Kangxi never thought of letting her go to court, let alone be an official.He can only let more existing officials in this area come and learn.

All the pomegranates that should be explained have been explained, and the rest is their business. She herself just talks to the queen mother and the empress dowager every day.

The news that Pomegranate had won against Elder Brother quickly spread in the palace, especially after seeing Elder Brother really beat her up, the rumors intensified.

This day when she went to see the Empress Dowager, there was a favored little concubine who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and used this to run on Concubine Hui.Concubine Hui is older than the emperor, and she has been relying on her elder brother all these years, so she doesn't really love her much.Concubine Concubine Shu was young and beautiful, and she spoke in a joking tone, Concubine Hui couldn't do anything even if she wanted to, so she could only suppress herself with an ugly face.

Concubine Hui didn't mean to blame Pomegranate, after all, everyone knew that the elder brother rushed to compete with her.

To elder brother, Pomegranate had a good impression. Seeing the concubine concubine's sarcasm, she pursed her lips and finally opened her mouth.

"When it comes to this matter, the servant has the most right to speak. The elder brother is the elder brother of the royal family. He spends most of his weekdays learning riding and archery and reading with his masters. How often does he go out of the palace, let alone harvesting rice? Not to mention the royal elder brother like big brother, the son of a big family in the capital, if you pick someone at random, it is very likely that he will not understand these things."

"There is a specialization in art, and the slave has no other skills. He is interested in these flowers and plants, so he came up with a whim. If the slave competes with the elder brother in riding and shooting, the slave will lose very ugly."

"I have seen many people, especially noble ones. Even if some people know that they are wrong or lost, they will insist on it for the sake of face. On the contrary, the elder brother, who doesn't understand even if he doesn't understand, can humbly talk to others Ask for advice. Empress Dowager, you may not know that the original bet was a joke, and we didn't take it seriously."

"It's the eldest brother who wants to fulfill his promise, and the emperor can't stop him. The eldest brother said, 'a man is a man, if he spits a nail, there is no reason to take back what he said'. At that time, not only the slaves, but even the emperor Shocked, I want the servant to say that a man like Big Brother is a real husband, a good man."

These words are not made up by her, but by Big Brother.

The eldest brother really doesn't know how to farm, and he asked her a lot of questions when he started, even if he still didn't understand afterwards, his attitude made Shiliu agree.Such a big elder brother is much better than the sixth elder brother who can only look at people sideways. He has no reason to be ridiculed by others, even if it is a joke.

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, "You and Yinti are both good, Concubine Hui should not be under any pressure, the emperor told the Ai family that Yinti's temper is hot, the emperor originally thought of suppressing his temper , so as not to cause accidents in the future. The emperor was also very surprised by what happened that day."

"You don't know if you have never worked in the field. It is very hard to work in the field. Yinti, the prince, and the third elder brother worked together with the emperor for two hours in the field. This kind of perseverance is rare. The emperor and Aijia also expressed emotion that Yinti has grown up. , he can worry less in the future."

Concubine Hui's eyes were slightly red, and among these people, she often heard people laughing at elder brother behind his back. They only saw that elder brother lost to a woman, and how many of them could taste her elder brother like her? quality.Now that Pomegranate has confirmed it, and with the words of the Empress Dowager, who will dare to look down on her elder brother in the future.

"My concubine, thank you, the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "Yinti is also the great-great-great-grandson of the Ai family, and our royal family in the Qing Dynasty should be like this. It can be said and done. He is very good, and you are also very good. After all, he is from a great family. He has a clear mind and sees things clearly. Unlike some people who listen to the wind and rain, they don’t have a brain and only know how to follow the trend.” After she finished speaking, she glanced sideways at the concubine concubine, and everyone knew who she was talking about in the end.

The little concubine's face turned pale, who is the empress dowager, she is not qualified to see her on weekdays, but now she just took the light of the southern tour, the empress dowager is in a good mood.She originally wanted to take this matter as a joke, so that the Empress Dowager would also have a good time.Who let the people in the palace be very happy to hear this.Who knew that flattering and slapping the iron plate not only offended the Empress Dowager, but also offended Concubine Hui.

"Isn't that right? Fifth elder brother told my concubine yesterday that eldest elder brother is a great person and he wants to learn from elder brother." After the empress dowager finished speaking, Concubine Yi continued.

She had ridiculed the elder brother in private before, but she was smart and would never speak ill of the elder brothers in front of the empress dowager and the empress dowager.This little concubine is still in the palace, can the concubines laugh at will?

Don't say she is a little concubine with no rank, even if she is an imperial concubine, do you think she dares?

"Concubine Hui, please stop." The Empress Dowager wanted to rest, and all the concubines and pomegranate came out. She felt that she still had to tell Concubine Hui to apologize for the incident with Concubine Hui.She was not afraid of Concubine Hui, but it was inevitable that they would be awkward when they met in the future.

"Shi Gege, what's the matter? If you talk about Yinti's matter, you can rest assured that this matter is not your fault, and I will not blame you. Besides, since I accepted your gift, I will naturally explain the matter It's over."

After the incident happened, Duan Min brought a gift to make amends the next day, and it was then that she realized that her son had done something stupid.To be honest, even if this was her son, she would feel ashamed.He is older than others, and he is still a man, so he actually clamored to compete with others.

She really didn't know what her son was thinking at the time, it would be embarrassing to lose, and no one would think you are capable if you win.

But her son did just that, and it's no wonder that others laughed at him behind his back.

If Duan Min hadn't come early, she would have taken a gift to Shi's house to apologize.

"Your Majesty is generous, but I feel sorry for this servant. If your Majesty doesn't dislike it, I still have some Tianzun tribute tea in my hand, and I will send it to your Majesty later." Pomegranate was quite embarrassed to mention this, as she was quite old in her heart. My brother is much older, and I always feel that I am the one who bullies children.

Concubine Hui was really happy this time, "That's good, you don't know, Yinti has never forgotten since having tea at your Zhuangzi once. Bengong is still thinking about when to ask Fujin for some. Yinti Ti blames himself for that matter, but this tea haha, I will not be polite to you."

The elder brother talked about the tea from the Shi family many times, but she heard that the emperor and the crown prince also like this tea, and there are not many teas from the Shi family. If you force someone to embarrass others, you don't have the nerve to say this.

"It's true that there's not much Tianzun tribute tea left, but I still have some for you." Not only Concubine Hui, but Concubine Yi also wanted to send some.Fortunately, the empress dowager and the empress dowager fell in love with her scented tea, otherwise it would not be enough.

Seeing that Concubine Hui really didn't mind, she breathed a sigh of relief.This concubine Hui and elder brother are worthy of being mother and son, they have similar temperaments, and they are very broad-minded.

All the rice was threshed, and Kangxi left three hundred catties for them, and took away all the rest, together with a few farmers in Zhuangzi who had been taking care of the experimental fields.Pomegranate did not stop researching. She remembered that the sixth elder brother muttered something at that time, "What is the difference between this and our hybrid rice?".That thing gave him some popular science.

She has a good memory, especially things that interest her.She understands rice, but hybridization is a new term. She thinks that she can research in this area, and maybe even better varieties can be developed.

And the flowers she cultivated, the prince also took away a lot of flowers before leaving, saying that they were raised in the palace.There are fewer flowers in the garden, and she feels uncomfortable all over, so naturally she has to make up for them.

The royal family deserves to be the lord of the world, and the experiments on wheat and rice were completed in one year.

In the spring of the 27th year of Kangxi, the emperor officially issued a decree to start promoting new rice and wheat throughout the country, and once again reduced or exempted a layer of taxes.

Pomegranate is the most important hero, and Kangxi specially bestowed on her the title of Heshuo Gege, named Fengnian.In addition to grades, there are also many royal rewards, the most eye-catching one is a Huangzhuang rewarded by the emperor.

The area of ​​Huangzhuang is not small, the land is only ten hectares, and there is a small mountain and a river outside it.This Zhuangzi is the best among all the Huangzhuang. Now the emperor didn't give it to the elder brother who is about to get married, and didn't give it to the most favored prince. Instead, he gave it to pomegranate.Although in the eyes of some people, there is not much difference between giving a pomegranate and giving it to the prince, and both will end up in the prince's pocket, but everyone is different, and the meaning it represents is also different.

Of course, now that Pomegranate is not in the capital, the Crown Prince's Zhanshi Mansion will temporarily help manage this Huangzhuang, and the harvest will be directly sent to Pomegranate.

Duan Min smiled from ear to ear, "Let's not talk about these silks and satins, the wood rewarded by the emperor is just right, Er Niang will ask someone to make a wardrobe for you as a dowry when she turns around." The wood rewarded by the emperor is all red sandalwood. Well, a small piece of red sandalwood is very precious, what he gave here can be made into a set of furniture and there is still some left over.

Jingui, the daughter of a noble in Manchuria, many families prepared a dowry for her daughter since she was a child.The Shi family is no exception. Among the wood reserved for pomegranates, there is red sandalwood, which is just enough to make a wooden bed, and the rest are high-quality yellow rosewood.Now that there is red sandalwood bestowed by the emperor, the dowry of pomegranate can be a bit richer.

A daughter with a rich dowry has confidence, and this is no exception in the royal family. Whoever has the most dowry can straighten his back and raise his head among his sister-in-law.In addition, Brother Huang and those women in his backyard did not dare to underestimate Fujin because of this.

"Emiang, my daughter is still young." Speaking of marriage, Shiliu felt a little embarrassed.

Duan Min smiled and said: "It's not too young. In two years, we will be drafted and married." Even the pre-appointed concubine has to go through this process, otherwise it may not be a good thing for the prince or his daughter.
