Lin's Aunt in the Red Chamber
Chapter 113
Ningguo Mansion?Sure?Lin Lan suddenly looked up at Tu Yexi. Although he didn't know the exact thing, Tu Yexi only said something dirty, so that he would not pay attention to it in the future.Can she know what happened without using her brain?
"Emperor... Grandpa, let's forget about Ningguo Mansion! Isn't there no filial piety yet?" Jia Jing was very decadent after his wife's death. He loved Jia Zhen's new daughter-in-law very much, so he persuaded Jia Jing, saying that he was afraid that Qin's family would grow up well and Zhen'er would mess around in front of Xu's tomb, so he kept Qin's family.The Qin family...Tu Yexi didn't expect that this woman...had some unclear relationship with Jia Rong, and even Jia Rui from Jia Dairu's family in her clan was also her guest... The loyal Jiao Da of the Ningguo Mansion...
The Ningguo Mansion was full of smog. Jia Jing almost died of anger when Ding You came back a while ago, but because Da Qiansui was released and did not dare to offend the Qin family, the Ningguo Mansion is becoming more and more filthy now.
The Supreme Emperor glared at Tu Yexi, then looked at Jia Lan and said, "Go, why don't you go, then I... the real grandpa, I will go too, and you can help grandpa make up like today!"
Lin Lan nodded, and said obediently, "I'll listen to you!" It seems that I must prepare the Xinxin Pill when the time comes, so as to save myself from getting really angry.
Lin Daiyu tilted her head, shook the Supreme Emperor's sleeve innocently, and said coquettishly: "Great... Grandpa, Yu'er wants to go too!"
"Go, go, go, grandpa will take Yu'er to see and see together!" Taishang Huang squinted his eyes and smiled, no one would recognize his appearance, just took this opportunity to see the people's livelihood, very good!As for whether he can go in, does it need to be said?Is there a place in this world that he can't enter?Furthermore, Xiao Yu'er called her grandfather's delicate appearance, which made his old man even more happy!And more reasonable.So by default, the name "Grandfather" was adopted!
It was originally planned to go to Huguo Temple, but because of the joining of the Supreme Emperor, the itinerary slowed down. The old man saw everything novel, even the children playing on the side of the road, and the couple quarreling, he found it very interesting and real!
Along the way, because he was dressed like an ordinary wealthy businessman, he only said that the son who inherited the family business was tired of arguing with other sons all day long, so he brought his two grandsons and great-grandson out to relax, and took the opportunity to chat with many people.
Seeing his kind attitude, and occasionally giving rewards to the children's companions, many people chatted with him along the way.
Lin Lan followed behind, seeing his kind appearance, felt warm in his heart, and softly said to Tu Yexi with emotion: "Too... is a wise king..."
It was also the first time for Tu Yexi to see the appearance of the Supreme Emperor. In the past, even before he abdicated, he summoned the people to question him, and he was always superior. It is arranged.With a sigh in my heart, it was the first time I looked at him so seriously, I just felt that he was a bit stalwart!
While walking on the road, the first snow of the year began to fall in the sky. The snow was not heavy, and one by one slowly fell down. The Taishang Huang changed his name to Master Huang and found a farm to rest.Talk to an old man who is not young.Ask about the harvest, ask about life, but get a different result than before.At the same time, when the old farmer asked what troubles he had, he complained unceremoniously, saying that he had many sons, but they all became enemies because of the family property!
"Brother Huang, you can see that he came from a wealthy family. If the family has more property, the son must support more. If the distribution is not satisfactory, the children and grandchildren must not make trouble?" Still old, I was very envious in my heart, knowing that this was from Fugui's nest, thinking of the generous settlement money he gave me, I persuaded him.
The Supreme Emperor heard the other party say this, and saw that the other party's skin was dark and wrinkled, but his real age was only five or six years older than the boss, but he looked much older than himself, so he sighed: "Isn't it? I always thought about working harder and leaving more brothers for the children, but I didn’t educate them well, and when they grew up, they fought like life and death enemies.”
"That's not true!" The old farmer pointed to the yard behind him and said, "Your family has a big business, so you may not think my yard is good, but because of this yard and a few acres of Susukida, the three of my family have become enemies... But when we go out, there are only two rooms left for our old couple, who are we going to give them to? It's really sad!"
"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite!" The Supreme Emperor looked back, but it was just an ordinary dwelling, and it was just tidy, and then asked again about the harvest nearby.
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the old farmer's face, and he said happily: "To tell you the truth, my grandfather came here fleeing from famine. In the past few decades, thanks to the Supreme Emperor and the emperor, he has not added any gifts. I also made the woolen sweater that can keep me warm. As long as I work hard, although I can’t eat a full meal, I will still be hungry. Although it is cold in winter, I can survive. With a lot of strength, my father supported us back then Six children, and now I have raised three boys and two girls in my family, and built this tidy yard...even in a disaster year, most of the children in the family have been saved!" When I was young, I heard my grandfather talk about the tragedy on the way to flee the famine. What's more, he only feels very proud of being able to support his wife and a few children!
Living in the outskirts of Beijing, but he could barely eat enough to avoid starvation, the Supreme Emperor looked at the undisguised complacency on the old farmer's face, and his heart was very heavy.Is this the real life of ordinary people?
When it was time for dinner, Lin Lan spent money to buy a few chickens and some vegetables raised by the family. Some people went around to buy rice and meat, but because ordinary people rarely eat white rice, they only bought rice. Some brown rice and yellow rice.Lin Lan paused for a moment, and followed a maid to cook in person, pouring out some food. Lin Daiyu was pleasantly surprised to see that her aunt could make such delicious food casually, her eyes lit up, and she felt that she would also Be as capable as your aunt!
"This craft? Brother Huang's family runs a restaurant, right?" Most boys don't cook, but Brother Huang's grandson is so proficient, it is obvious that the family also does this. He couldn't help but gave a thumbs up and smiled.
The Emperor Taishang nodded casually. Except that Lin Yatou doesn't know how to be a female celebrity, she has nothing to say.After showing off to this old farmer for a long time, he turned his head and saw that his unfilial grandson had already picked up a chicken leg for Lin Lan and Lin Daiyu to eat, and was about to get angry when a bowl of fragrant chicken soup was handed over after it was blown to the palate. Been scooping for a while.Tu Yexi said awkwardly, "Drink some soup to warm up your bones first!"
After speaking, he also helped to disassemble a chicken leg, removed the skin he didn't like, tore it into a suitable size, and put it in front of him. The emperor squinted and compared it, and his chicken leg was the biggest, and he guessed, it should be given to himself first. After choosing it, I picked it up for the other two, feeling better immediately, and smilingly picked up the remaining chicken leg and put it in Tu Yexi's bowl, saying, "You eat too!"
"You grandson, you are so filial!" The old farmer couldn't help but envy Tu Yexi, who looked at every bite of meat being handled so carefully by his grandfather and who also took care of his younger brother and nephew. His grandson only wanted to get it from him. Food, where can I give myself a bite?
The Supreme Emperor took a sip of the soup, and suddenly felt that his mouth was full of aromas. He caught a piece of meat, and somehow he cooked it. The meat was also salty and delicious. He took another bite of the hot fire, and he felt warm all over his body. After relaxing, he said: " This is really... I am really the most proud grandson, my son and grandson, I will give him all my family business in the future!"
"...Brother, do you mean to give the family property to the most filial one?" He is an old woman, so his sons all crawled out of one belly, but he also envied Brother Huang for having such a filial grandson. His eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.
Hearing the words, the Supreme Emperor nodded and said: "This is a way. In the future, you will tell your sons that whoever is the most filial in this yard will give it to him in the future. We will enjoy the filial piety of our children and grandchildren while we are alive, and give the family property to the most filial. , whether it’s true or not, as long as you’re comfortable anyway!” If a person is just pretending to be filial to his parents until the end of his life, so that they are taken care of, so what?
Hearing this, the old farmer thoughtfully ate the pancakes soaked in chicken soup in a bowl, and nodded while eating.Brother Huang seems to be capable. His words are indeed reasonable. He will give the yard to anyone who is filial in the future, and they will get angry with himself and his wife from time to time.
After eating half a fire, the Supreme Emperor suddenly found that his grandson and Lin Lan were both eating brown rice. The old farmer who soaked the pancakes and ate the brown rice in big mouthfuls, ate it mouthful without saying anything.
Although regarding the people's livelihood, the Supreme Emperor felt a little heavy. The rice he summoned before was different. The rice cooked by Lan girl was clean, but when the brown rice was eaten, there were a lot of chaff, which was hard to swallow.He knew it in his heart. He used to do it for himself, but he never thought it would be so serious. It was still looking at a relatively wealthy farmer's family.As an emperor, he has supreme rights, but the people under his rule can't even eat enough. How can he be considered a success in this life!
But looking at the troubles of ordinary people, he felt a little relieved, but a small farmhouse that looks very ordinary or even a bit dilapidated can make the brothers estrange, and it is nothing to calculate for the throne all day long...
At night, the old farmer packed up the three houses including his own, and then took his wife to the eldest son's house to rest. This ordinary farm house immediately became a heavily guarded place, and the snow in the sky had stopped. Against the backdrop of the moonlight, the ground seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver frost. The Supreme Emperor looked at the moonlight, felt the chill in the air, and sighed softly: "Tomorrow will be a sunny day!"
"..." Tu Yexi, Lin Lan and Lin Daiyu were all standing behind them. They were wearing warm winter clothes and didn't feel cold, but seeing the Taishang Emperor's silence, he didn't know what to say. Lin Lan was a little bit hesitant to speak Besides, she wanted to say that the Taishanghuang could be regarded as the Mingjun of the prosperous age, and the backward productivity was not entirely his responsibility.
"In previous years, when it came to winter, I hoped that there would be heavy snow, but I was also afraid that it would bring a good harvest. However, heavy snow meant that the people would suffer from cold and cold, or even disasters... I thought I had done a good job. Well, I also feel that I have done my best, I am full of praises everywhere, and I am praised as a prosperous king everywhere I go, but...why...why can't I even feed the people?" The Supreme Emperor originally He came out with the mood of playing, but after only one day, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Seeing the lives of ordinary people living like this, he only felt that his life was an incomparable failure!
Lin Lan dragged Tu Yexi to the side, and whispered something in his ear, but he pulled him to the front of Taishang and said, "Grandfather, Lan'er has something to report."
Tu Yexi didn't doubt the truth of what Lin Lan said, but he didn't want to take credit for her again.
Lin Lan was pushed to the front by him, paused for a moment, then turned her head to see the encouragement in Tu Yexi's eyes, and then slowly said: "The emperor, the emperor, you know that the eldest sister of the minister's family is married to the son of the emperor's Xue family. You should also know that there is Aunt Jiang in the courtier's daughter's family. She used to be the wife of the eldest son of the Xue family. Live as an aunt. My aunt is very kind and treats my daughter and brother very well, so when I was young, my servant often listened to her like stories on her lap..."
"The family of Xue, the emperor of Jinling, has a business in the sea, so they know a lot about overseas things, such as yellow hair and blue eyes, red hair and blue eyes, black and white skin... Originally, I just heard a story, but I remember one thing She said that the food overseas is different from ours. In some places, their staple food is a kind of golden wheat the size of our fingernails. It has flowed into our country during the previous dynasty, but it has not attracted attention. I heard... "
The Supreme Emperor listened, and laughed, "It's called jade wheat. I have seen it and used it before, but it is not as smooth as our wheat. There are also sweet potatoes, peppers, etc. They are all foreign species." It was once enshrined by officials, and a lot of foreign food was introduced in the previous dynasty, such as sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, peppers, melon seeds, etc., some are good, and some he thinks are very ordinary. People from different countries eat different foods. It's different, just like the Daqing Dynasty, the north and the south are different, and the tastes are different.He understands what Lan girl means, that he can introduce different species to enrich the people's dining table, but now the more important thing is to feed their hunger, if he can make the people all over the world have a bowl of thick porridge to drink, his life will really be consummated!
Lin Lan was not surprised that he knew about the corn, and continued: "It's still the emperor who is very knowledgeable, and my daughter bought it in front of you. I wanted to say that this jade... the production of jade, wheat and sweet potatoes is extremely high, and there is no wheat. Picking a place like this, it tastes delicious when it’s processed, I never thought you would know everything!”
"Delicious?" The Supreme Emperor couldn't help laughing: "The poor think it's delicious, but it's not suitable for the appetite of us Qing people... Wait, what do you mean by saying that the output is extremely high?" The smile on the Supreme Emperor's face froze as he was talking up.
Lin Lan looked up and said naively: "Isn't the yield per mu of wheat only [-] to [-] catties in a good year? Jade wheat seems to be [-] to [-] catties? The yield of sweet potatoes is higher, and... and I heard that overseas temperatures are high The local planting corn is two teas per side, which is seven to eight hundred catties per mu per year... and the ground jade wheat is not as smooth as white flour, but the crushed jade wheat grains can be used to cook porridge, and jade wheat noodles can also be fine... What's wrong with you? "Today's food production is extremely low. It was unbelievable when she heard it before. After all, according to her memory, she wouldn't think it was an exaggeration if it was doubled by seven or eight times!
Just as Lin Lan was talking, the Supreme Emperor grabbed her arm violently and asked, "Yu Mai is three or four hundred catties a year, and sweet potatoes are even higher? Do you know the fate of deceiving the emperor?"
Tu Yexi hurried forward and pulled Lin Lan out to protect him.As soon as the imperial grandfather Long Wei came out, he was afraid of Lin Lan!
"No bullying!" Lin Lan hid behind Tu Yexi with red eyes, stretched out her head, and quickly replied: "You try it, just find a random place in the yard to try it! Or just send someone to inquire, originally Compared with wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and jade wheat are less picky about the land. And, even... soybeans can be interplanted with jade wheat, not only soybeans and jade wheat can grow better... Your daughter is not lying! "
The Supreme Emperor was silent when he heard the words!If what the girl of the Lin family said was true, someone must have concealed the matter, so why didn't the jade wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes that I ordered to grow in the past not so successful?Even occasionally being late to bake sweet potatoes is a luxury... If... He closed his eyes, opened them again for a while, looked at Tu Yexi, and signaled with his eyes, I will control the people around me today!
Tu Yexi nodded, expressing his understanding!
The Supreme Emperor looked at Lin Lan who was wronged by the side, and he was full of emotions in his heart, but he wanted to personally test whether it was true or not!If it was true, he would personally honor her as a reward!If it's fake... this princess...Looking at Tu Yexi, the Supreme Emperor feels that the princess needs to be restrained in the future.
But if someone really concealed the matter of this meritorious service in Sheji, why?All kinds of conspiracies suddenly appeared in the Supreme Emperor's mind, and even the officials who had paid tribute to him all pulled them out of their minds to think about them one by one!
Even with these things in mind, no matter how anxious and hot his heart is, the Supreme Emperor knew that now was not a good time to deal with them, and planned to continue to take them around.
In the early morning of the next day, after Lin Lan got up early to watch Tu Yexi practice, the two walked casually. Lin Lan looked at Tu Yexi, smelled the fresh air, and suddenly felt a sense of peace.Seeing her obediently next to him, Tu Yexi was just about to talk when he saw that she seemed to be in a daze. Following her gaze, Tu Yexi suddenly saw a little girl who was about the same age as Daiyu fascinated, six or seven years old. He carried a basket on his back, put some firewood in the basket, and held a rope in his hand, and a naughty little boy the size of Lin Cheng was tied to one end of the rope.
But even though the little girl was so diligent, when she was almost at the door, a woman came out impatiently, took the little girl's pannier, and nodded cursingly on her forehead!Then, by the way, he stuffed a pancake for the little boy, but the little girl didn't have anything.
After the woman went back, the little boy broke open the pancake and handed half to his sister. The two sat at the door of the house and ate very happily.
"This woman..." Tu Yexi didn't understand why they were all his own flesh and blood, why he was so partial, but... thinking of his father and himself, they were all favored people, so he didn't know what to say.
Lin Lan laughed, because she saw the woman looking back at her children eating pancakes and laughed, so she said: "Look at that woman, actually looking back, she also cares about her daughter in her heart, and she knows The son will share with the elder sister."
"Then why is that so?" Tu Yexi didn't understand!
Lin Lan remembered what she had seen before, and said quietly: "Because she wants her daughter to know that her brother loves her!" She didn't want to think about how bad a mother can be, plotting against her daughter, perhaps because of the general environment, she just That's all!
"If...women can have as many job opportunities as men, then girls will not be regarded as losers?" Tu Yexi thought of the man waiting for his wife to come home at the door of Lin Lan's small workshop, and thought of them The sweetness between, frowning.Maybe this is what Lan'er is looking forward to!
Lin Lan had already turned her head away. The situation of the little girl was not miserable. Her family and her younger brother were at least kind to her. Lin Lan looked back after watching for a while, then suddenly thought of what happened in Rongguo Mansion yesterday, and asked: "After Yu'er left, what happened to the prudish family of the Jia family? How is the old lady Jia's condition?"
Tu Yexi knew that Lin Lan would pay attention to these things, so he had already asked people to inquire, and only said that someone should be coming soon.
Back in the small courtyard, hugging clear porridge, eating small pancakes and rolls, the emperor had a good appetite, heard what Lin Lan and Tu Yexi whispered, and said: "Zhen...cough cough, grandpa, I too Want to hear it."
Yesterday, he dragged himself to look like a dragon, and today he turned into a kind grandfather again. Lin Lan twitched his lips, feeling that he had met the biggest showman, the thick-skinned one!
Naturally, the hidden guard did not dare to refuse the Supreme Emperor, so he quickly described the farce in Jia's government yesterday vividly.
It turned out that after Lin Daiyu fainted, she was taken away by Lin Lan. Just as the door was knocked, Jia Zheng also ran back. Followed in.
When Jia Shishi knew about the farce outside, he was in a bad mood, and as soon as he lay down in a hurry, he saw his eldest son and second son running in as if he had died, kneeling in front of his bed, crying deafeningly, but what he had been waiting for Granddaughter, but no shadow.
"Old Madam Jia... Maybe she is old and her anger is a little strong, so you can take some hot soup and medicine, and you will be fine!" The most upright doctor among the imperial physicians, Imperial Physician Wen, was urged by Jia Hu to feel his pulse. I told everyone in the most euphemistic way that this old lady is not sick, but she is just looking for trouble!The best medicine for getting angry is Coptis chinensis, and he will give Uncle Rong two catties for free in another day!
All of a sudden the scene was quiet, Jia Shishi wished she could feel fainted, holding her head and feet hurting, she couldn't believe that this quack doctor could continue talking nonsense.
"I'm overwhelmed with thoughts, Mrs. Guo should take more rest!" After finishing speaking, Imperial Physician Wen bowed his hands to Jia She, and left straight away. If the Lin family hadn't sent someone to say that the little girl of the Lin family was dying of anxiety, he would have thought it was some intractable disease. Oh, this old lady is not as real as a little girl in the Lin family!And it's a lot of age, but still pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, it really hurts the eyes.
After Imperial Physician Wen left, the other imperial physicians looked at each other a few times, and there was an imperial physician from the Rongguo Mansion who secretly thought that it was not good.The others didn't dare to say anything more, they just modified the words of Imperial Physician Wen a little bit, but the news that Jia Shishi was not ill was still spread.
In front of outsiders, Jia Shishi was about to faint from anger, and it was not good to get angry with Jia She, but as soon as the imperial doctor left, she grabbed the jade pillow behind her and threw it straight at Jia Hu. Jia Hu had no time to react I pulled him while I was there, and the jade pillow fell directly to the ground and broke...
"Jia Cunzhou! My mother used to be such a bright and upright person, but now she is being judged by you, and she can't tell right from wrong, right from wrong! I will beat you to death to sue my father in the sky, why did you come out of our Jia family? You are such a despicable villain!" Jia She said. When the jade pillow was broken, my heart, which I thought would no longer fluctuate, inevitably still felt hurt. With a loud cry, I rushed forward and vented all my anger towards Jia Zheng.
Hurriedly also received the news that Jia Zhu had rushed back from the Imperial College. Seeing this, she hurriedly wanted to help her father, but was stopped by Jia Lian!
"Grandmother, grandson has tolerated you for a long time!" Jia Hu walked up to Jia Shi when they were fighting hard, and said softly: "Grandson is different from father, he has a heart of respect and love for you." , Grandson doesn’t! Let grandson think about it, what else do you have to do with father? Isn’t it just the love between mother and son? Father may care, but grandson won’t!”
"If grandma continues to go her own way, looking for trouble for nothing, and still restless, then Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun...even Jia Baoyu... grandson will let you see that they will all be because of grandma, you, and second aunt's stupidity. All..." At this point, Jia Hu sneered, raised his lips and blew, inexplicably making Jia Shishi on the bed and Jia Wangshi beside the bed feel a chill all over.
"You!" Jia Shishi has never been wronged like this before. She pointed at Jia Hu and was about to scold her. Jia Hu pinched her extended finger between two fingers, pushed it back little by little, and murmured: "Grandma doesn't believe it. Can you give it a try? Let's see who gets unlucky first?"
"Emperor... Grandpa, let's forget about Ningguo Mansion! Isn't there no filial piety yet?" Jia Jing was very decadent after his wife's death. He loved Jia Zhen's new daughter-in-law very much, so he persuaded Jia Jing, saying that he was afraid that Qin's family would grow up well and Zhen'er would mess around in front of Xu's tomb, so he kept Qin's family.The Qin family...Tu Yexi didn't expect that this woman...had some unclear relationship with Jia Rong, and even Jia Rui from Jia Dairu's family in her clan was also her guest... The loyal Jiao Da of the Ningguo Mansion...
The Ningguo Mansion was full of smog. Jia Jing almost died of anger when Ding You came back a while ago, but because Da Qiansui was released and did not dare to offend the Qin family, the Ningguo Mansion is becoming more and more filthy now.
The Supreme Emperor glared at Tu Yexi, then looked at Jia Lan and said, "Go, why don't you go, then I... the real grandpa, I will go too, and you can help grandpa make up like today!"
Lin Lan nodded, and said obediently, "I'll listen to you!" It seems that I must prepare the Xinxin Pill when the time comes, so as to save myself from getting really angry.
Lin Daiyu tilted her head, shook the Supreme Emperor's sleeve innocently, and said coquettishly: "Great... Grandpa, Yu'er wants to go too!"
"Go, go, go, grandpa will take Yu'er to see and see together!" Taishang Huang squinted his eyes and smiled, no one would recognize his appearance, just took this opportunity to see the people's livelihood, very good!As for whether he can go in, does it need to be said?Is there a place in this world that he can't enter?Furthermore, Xiao Yu'er called her grandfather's delicate appearance, which made his old man even more happy!And more reasonable.So by default, the name "Grandfather" was adopted!

Lin Lan followed behind, seeing his kind appearance, felt warm in his heart, and softly said to Tu Yexi with emotion: "Too... is a wise king..."
It was also the first time for Tu Yexi to see the appearance of the Supreme Emperor. In the past, even before he abdicated, he summoned the people to question him, and he was always superior. It is arranged.With a sigh in my heart, it was the first time I looked at him so seriously, I just felt that he was a bit stalwart!

"...Brother, do you mean to give the family property to the most filial one?" He is an old woman, so his sons all crawled out of one belly, but he also envied Brother Huang for having such a filial grandson. His eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.
Hearing the words, the Supreme Emperor nodded and said: "This is a way. In the future, you will tell your sons that whoever is the most filial in this yard will give it to him in the future. We will enjoy the filial piety of our children and grandchildren while we are alive, and give the family property to the most filial. , whether it’s true or not, as long as you’re comfortable anyway!” If a person is just pretending to be filial to his parents until the end of his life, so that they are taken care of, so what?
Hearing this, the old farmer thoughtfully ate the pancakes soaked in chicken soup in a bowl, and nodded while eating.Brother Huang seems to be capable. His words are indeed reasonable. He will give the yard to anyone who is filial in the future, and they will get angry with himself and his wife from time to time.
After eating half a fire, the Supreme Emperor suddenly found that his grandson and Lin Lan were both eating brown rice. The old farmer who soaked the pancakes and ate the brown rice in big mouthfuls, ate it mouthful without saying anything.
Although regarding the people's livelihood, the Supreme Emperor felt a little heavy. The rice he summoned before was different. The rice cooked by Lan girl was clean, but when the brown rice was eaten, there were a lot of chaff, which was hard to swallow.He knew it in his heart. He used to do it for himself, but he never thought it would be so serious. It was still looking at a relatively wealthy farmer's family.As an emperor, he has supreme rights, but the people under his rule can't even eat enough. How can he be considered a success in this life!
But looking at the troubles of ordinary people, he felt a little relieved, but a small farmhouse that looks very ordinary or even a bit dilapidated can make the brothers estrange, and it is nothing to calculate for the throne all day long...
At night, the old farmer packed up the three houses including his own, and then took his wife to the eldest son's house to rest. This ordinary farm house immediately became a heavily guarded place, and the snow in the sky had stopped. Against the backdrop of the moonlight, the ground seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver frost. The Supreme Emperor looked at the moonlight, felt the chill in the air, and sighed softly: "Tomorrow will be a sunny day!"
"..." Tu Yexi, Lin Lan and Lin Daiyu were all standing behind them. They were wearing warm winter clothes and didn't feel cold, but seeing the Taishang Emperor's silence, he didn't know what to say. Lin Lan was a little bit hesitant to speak Besides, she wanted to say that the Taishanghuang could be regarded as the Mingjun of the prosperous age, and the backward productivity was not entirely his responsibility.
"In previous years, when it came to winter, I hoped that there would be heavy snow, but I was also afraid that it would bring a good harvest. However, heavy snow meant that the people would suffer from cold and cold, or even disasters... I thought I had done a good job. Well, I also feel that I have done my best, I am full of praises everywhere, and I am praised as a prosperous king everywhere I go, but...why...why can't I even feed the people?" The Supreme Emperor originally He came out with the mood of playing, but after only one day, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Seeing the lives of ordinary people living like this, he only felt that his life was an incomparable failure!
Lin Lan dragged Tu Yexi to the side, and whispered something in his ear, but he pulled him to the front of Taishang and said, "Grandfather, Lan'er has something to report."
Tu Yexi didn't doubt the truth of what Lin Lan said, but he didn't want to take credit for her again.
Lin Lan was pushed to the front by him, paused for a moment, then turned her head to see the encouragement in Tu Yexi's eyes, and then slowly said: "The emperor, the emperor, you know that the eldest sister of the minister's family is married to the son of the emperor's Xue family. You should also know that there is Aunt Jiang in the courtier's daughter's family. She used to be the wife of the eldest son of the Xue family. Live as an aunt. My aunt is very kind and treats my daughter and brother very well, so when I was young, my servant often listened to her like stories on her lap..."
"The family of Xue, the emperor of Jinling, has a business in the sea, so they know a lot about overseas things, such as yellow hair and blue eyes, red hair and blue eyes, black and white skin... Originally, I just heard a story, but I remember one thing She said that the food overseas is different from ours. In some places, their staple food is a kind of golden wheat the size of our fingernails. It has flowed into our country during the previous dynasty, but it has not attracted attention. I heard... "
The Supreme Emperor listened, and laughed, "It's called jade wheat. I have seen it and used it before, but it is not as smooth as our wheat. There are also sweet potatoes, peppers, etc. They are all foreign species." It was once enshrined by officials, and a lot of foreign food was introduced in the previous dynasty, such as sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, peppers, melon seeds, etc., some are good, and some he thinks are very ordinary. People from different countries eat different foods. It's different, just like the Daqing Dynasty, the north and the south are different, and the tastes are different.He understands what Lan girl means, that he can introduce different species to enrich the people's dining table, but now the more important thing is to feed their hunger, if he can make the people all over the world have a bowl of thick porridge to drink, his life will really be consummated!
Lin Lan was not surprised that he knew about the corn, and continued: "It's still the emperor who is very knowledgeable, and my daughter bought it in front of you. I wanted to say that this jade... the production of jade, wheat and sweet potatoes is extremely high, and there is no wheat. Picking a place like this, it tastes delicious when it’s processed, I never thought you would know everything!”
"Delicious?" The Supreme Emperor couldn't help laughing: "The poor think it's delicious, but it's not suitable for the appetite of us Qing people... Wait, what do you mean by saying that the output is extremely high?" The smile on the Supreme Emperor's face froze as he was talking up.
Lin Lan looked up and said naively: "Isn't the yield per mu of wheat only [-] to [-] catties in a good year? Jade wheat seems to be [-] to [-] catties? The yield of sweet potatoes is higher, and... and I heard that overseas temperatures are high The local planting corn is two teas per side, which is seven to eight hundred catties per mu per year... and the ground jade wheat is not as smooth as white flour, but the crushed jade wheat grains can be used to cook porridge, and jade wheat noodles can also be fine... What's wrong with you? "Today's food production is extremely low. It was unbelievable when she heard it before. After all, according to her memory, she wouldn't think it was an exaggeration if it was doubled by seven or eight times!
Just as Lin Lan was talking, the Supreme Emperor grabbed her arm violently and asked, "Yu Mai is three or four hundred catties a year, and sweet potatoes are even higher? Do you know the fate of deceiving the emperor?"
Tu Yexi hurried forward and pulled Lin Lan out to protect him.As soon as the imperial grandfather Long Wei came out, he was afraid of Lin Lan!
"No bullying!" Lin Lan hid behind Tu Yexi with red eyes, stretched out her head, and quickly replied: "You try it, just find a random place in the yard to try it! Or just send someone to inquire, originally Compared with wheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and jade wheat are less picky about the land. And, even... soybeans can be interplanted with jade wheat, not only soybeans and jade wheat can grow better... Your daughter is not lying! "
The Supreme Emperor was silent when he heard the words!If what the girl of the Lin family said was true, someone must have concealed the matter, so why didn't the jade wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes that I ordered to grow in the past not so successful?Even occasionally being late to bake sweet potatoes is a luxury... If... He closed his eyes, opened them again for a while, looked at Tu Yexi, and signaled with his eyes, I will control the people around me today!
Tu Yexi nodded, expressing his understanding!
The Supreme Emperor looked at Lin Lan who was wronged by the side, and he was full of emotions in his heart, but he wanted to personally test whether it was true or not!If it was true, he would personally honor her as a reward!If it's fake... this princess...Looking at Tu Yexi, the Supreme Emperor feels that the princess needs to be restrained in the future.
But if someone really concealed the matter of this meritorious service in Sheji, why?All kinds of conspiracies suddenly appeared in the Supreme Emperor's mind, and even the officials who had paid tribute to him all pulled them out of their minds to think about them one by one!
Even with these things in mind, no matter how anxious and hot his heart is, the Supreme Emperor knew that now was not a good time to deal with them, and planned to continue to take them around.
In the early morning of the next day, after Lin Lan got up early to watch Tu Yexi practice, the two walked casually. Lin Lan looked at Tu Yexi, smelled the fresh air, and suddenly felt a sense of peace.Seeing her obediently next to him, Tu Yexi was just about to talk when he saw that she seemed to be in a daze. Following her gaze, Tu Yexi suddenly saw a little girl who was about the same age as Daiyu fascinated, six or seven years old. He carried a basket on his back, put some firewood in the basket, and held a rope in his hand, and a naughty little boy the size of Lin Cheng was tied to one end of the rope.
But even though the little girl was so diligent, when she was almost at the door, a woman came out impatiently, took the little girl's pannier, and nodded cursingly on her forehead!Then, by the way, he stuffed a pancake for the little boy, but the little girl didn't have anything.
After the woman went back, the little boy broke open the pancake and handed half to his sister. The two sat at the door of the house and ate very happily.
"This woman..." Tu Yexi didn't understand why they were all his own flesh and blood, why he was so partial, but... thinking of his father and himself, they were all favored people, so he didn't know what to say.
Lin Lan laughed, because she saw the woman looking back at her children eating pancakes and laughed, so she said: "Look at that woman, actually looking back, she also cares about her daughter in her heart, and she knows The son will share with the elder sister."
"Then why is that so?" Tu Yexi didn't understand!
Lin Lan remembered what she had seen before, and said quietly: "Because she wants her daughter to know that her brother loves her!" She didn't want to think about how bad a mother can be, plotting against her daughter, perhaps because of the general environment, she just That's all!
"If...women can have as many job opportunities as men, then girls will not be regarded as losers?" Tu Yexi thought of the man waiting for his wife to come home at the door of Lin Lan's small workshop, and thought of them The sweetness between, frowning.Maybe this is what Lan'er is looking forward to!
Lin Lan had already turned her head away. The situation of the little girl was not miserable. Her family and her younger brother were at least kind to her. Lin Lan looked back after watching for a while, then suddenly thought of what happened in Rongguo Mansion yesterday, and asked: "After Yu'er left, what happened to the prudish family of the Jia family? How is the old lady Jia's condition?"
Tu Yexi knew that Lin Lan would pay attention to these things, so he had already asked people to inquire, and only said that someone should be coming soon.
Back in the small courtyard, hugging clear porridge, eating small pancakes and rolls, the emperor had a good appetite, heard what Lin Lan and Tu Yexi whispered, and said: "Zhen...cough cough, grandpa, I too Want to hear it."
Yesterday, he dragged himself to look like a dragon, and today he turned into a kind grandfather again. Lin Lan twitched his lips, feeling that he had met the biggest showman, the thick-skinned one!
Naturally, the hidden guard did not dare to refuse the Supreme Emperor, so he quickly described the farce in Jia's government yesterday vividly.
It turned out that after Lin Daiyu fainted, she was taken away by Lin Lan. Just as the door was knocked, Jia Zheng also ran back. Followed in.
When Jia Shishi knew about the farce outside, he was in a bad mood, and as soon as he lay down in a hurry, he saw his eldest son and second son running in as if he had died, kneeling in front of his bed, crying deafeningly, but what he had been waiting for Granddaughter, but no shadow.
"Old Madam Jia... Maybe she is old and her anger is a little strong, so you can take some hot soup and medicine, and you will be fine!" The most upright doctor among the imperial physicians, Imperial Physician Wen, was urged by Jia Hu to feel his pulse. I told everyone in the most euphemistic way that this old lady is not sick, but she is just looking for trouble!The best medicine for getting angry is Coptis chinensis, and he will give Uncle Rong two catties for free in another day!
All of a sudden the scene was quiet, Jia Shishi wished she could feel fainted, holding her head and feet hurting, she couldn't believe that this quack doctor could continue talking nonsense.
"I'm overwhelmed with thoughts, Mrs. Guo should take more rest!" After finishing speaking, Imperial Physician Wen bowed his hands to Jia She, and left straight away. If the Lin family hadn't sent someone to say that the little girl of the Lin family was dying of anxiety, he would have thought it was some intractable disease. Oh, this old lady is not as real as a little girl in the Lin family!And it's a lot of age, but still pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic, it really hurts the eyes.
After Imperial Physician Wen left, the other imperial physicians looked at each other a few times, and there was an imperial physician from the Rongguo Mansion who secretly thought that it was not good.The others didn't dare to say anything more, they just modified the words of Imperial Physician Wen a little bit, but the news that Jia Shishi was not ill was still spread.
In front of outsiders, Jia Shishi was about to faint from anger, and it was not good to get angry with Jia She, but as soon as the imperial doctor left, she grabbed the jade pillow behind her and threw it straight at Jia Hu. Jia Hu had no time to react I pulled him while I was there, and the jade pillow fell directly to the ground and broke...
"Jia Cunzhou! My mother used to be such a bright and upright person, but now she is being judged by you, and she can't tell right from wrong, right from wrong! I will beat you to death to sue my father in the sky, why did you come out of our Jia family? You are such a despicable villain!" Jia She said. When the jade pillow was broken, my heart, which I thought would no longer fluctuate, inevitably still felt hurt. With a loud cry, I rushed forward and vented all my anger towards Jia Zheng.
Hurriedly also received the news that Jia Zhu had rushed back from the Imperial College. Seeing this, she hurriedly wanted to help her father, but was stopped by Jia Lian!
"Grandmother, grandson has tolerated you for a long time!" Jia Hu walked up to Jia Shi when they were fighting hard, and said softly: "Grandson is different from father, he has a heart of respect and love for you." , Grandson doesn’t! Let grandson think about it, what else do you have to do with father? Isn’t it just the love between mother and son? Father may care, but grandson won’t!”
"If grandma continues to go her own way, looking for trouble for nothing, and still restless, then Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun...even Jia Baoyu... grandson will let you see that they will all be because of grandma, you, and second aunt's stupidity. All..." At this point, Jia Hu sneered, raised his lips and blew, inexplicably making Jia Shishi on the bed and Jia Wangshi beside the bed feel a chill all over.
"You!" Jia Shishi has never been wronged like this before. She pointed at Jia Hu and was about to scold her. Jia Hu pinched her extended finger between two fingers, pushed it back little by little, and murmured: "Grandma doesn't believe it. Can you give it a try? Let's see who gets unlucky first?"
