farming in ancient times

Xiao Er saw how happy the butcher said, and really thought that the emperor was very satisfied with his dinner, although it was true.The next morning, Xiao Er got up early to make a pot of glutinous fish porridge, and then a pot of steamed buns.

Seeing that the buns on the plate were not as big as his mouth, the emperor glanced at the general who was obediently standing aside, and said, "I have learned a lot today."

Butcher Gao couldn't figure out what the emperor meant for Xiao Er, so he didn't dare to let Xiao Er come over. He still brought the rice porridge and buns from the kitchen.

And Wang Xiaoer has a modern soul living in his body, and he has received a higher education, and he would kneel down to others whenever he gets upset.

Therefore, there are only the emperor, the general, and the princes who serve the emperor for meals in the huge general's tent.

Butcher Gao is also a black-bellied master, seemingly honest but actually smarter than anyone else in his heart, seeing that the emperor doesn't seem to be really angry, he said, "Your majesty, the porridge won't taste good when it's cold."

"Can I still eat it!" Said so, the emperor still took a small steamed bun, bit it down, sucked it until it was so hot, and said, "I'm so full!" Put down the chopsticks and prepare to wait for the steamed stuffed bun to cool Eat cold.

The general was rough and detailed, and said when he saw this, "Then I will go to the cavalry camp with you?"

"What are you looking at!" The emperor glanced at him very angrily, and then thought of Wang Xiaoer leading the soldiers to seize nearly a thousand good horses from the enemy, and thinking of Wang Xiaoer's talent... Although the general lied to him, but He also did a good deed, not letting Wang Xiaoer fall into the hands of others.

However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. If the emperor himself does not repair these two people, what is his majesty!

The emperor and the army returned to the capital together, and when they were discussing meritorious service and offering rewards in the court, the general was named the second-rank hussar general as everyone expected.This is the second powerful general in the second rank of Erlang since the founding of the Jinyu Dynasty.The first one, of course, is the emperor's other father.

However, just when the ministers were about to congratulate the general, the emperor took the general's military power by surprise and did not give any rewards.

The strangest thing is that the general who only got the false name of a hussar general is not only not angry, but also seems to be very happy.This, this, the ministers expressed that they did not understand.

Not to mention civil servants and generals, even the prince and queen don't understand.

The queen has always ignored the affairs of the previous court, and when she heard that the emperor only gave the general a false name in the court hall, he didn't even reward the general with a foot of cloth or a tael of silver, and even asked for the general's military talisman, she couldn't sit still.

"Your majesty, what you do will chill the hearts of the border guards." The queen said very worriedly.

The emperor didn't feel overwhelmed if he didn't mention this, and when he thought about how fat and fat that boy Yin Wei was, the emperor snorted coldly, "Chuan Shan! I'm hungry!" He heard some things from the hidden guard, but he was not very clear about the specifics, so he gave the queen a wink, and said silently, "Father Huang Gangang is arbitrary, and he has his own reasons for doing so."

As soon as the emperor looked up, he saw the prince blinking, "If the prince is sick, he should go to the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine. It is wrong to delay the treatment."

The queen really felt that there was something wrong with the emperor, maybe, maybe it was the general who didn't want to go to the backcountry to sell pork in the capital, who was angry.

When the imperial dining room sent many strange things, the queen and the prince were immediately attracted by the strange things in the dishes and bowls.

Queen: "Your Majesty, what is this thing that looks like an ingot? It can't really be an ingot, can it?"

"I'm crazy!" The emperor stared, "I eat gold only when I don't want my life."

Wang Gonggong saw who his master was catching and complaining about whom these days, so he said, "Madam, you and Your Highness have breakfast here." While guiding the two of them over, he said, "The one that looks like Yuanbao is a meat dumpling. The ones like Crescent Moon are vegetarian dumplings, the round ones are steamed buns, the wrinkled ones are steamed stuffed buns, and that..."

"You are just a slave who talks a lot of nonsense, do you still want to eat it!" The emperor wanted to teach the general a lesson, but Gao Wazi didn't care about the soldier talisman. Grumble's forehead hurts.

The queen and the emperor are young couples, and the prince is the emperor's most beloved child. The empress Liang Liang, who is very stable in the back seat, is not immune to the emperor's anger, "If you don't want to eat, just put it down, no one is forcing you to eat!"

"Mother, come and taste it, these dumplings taste really good." The prince was afraid that he would be the one who would get hurt when his parents quarreled, so he said, "This bun looks really good-looking, Wang Gonggong, when will it be in the imperial kitchen?" Here comes such a skillful cook."

Wang Gonggong bowed his waist and said: "Your Highness is joking, this is not made by the imperial dining room."

"No? Who is that?" the queen asked curiously.

"Ms. Gao, it's General Gao's wife, Wang Xiaoer who made the chariot." The prince said fairly, "The general's wife knows a lot of things, and he can make things that grow in the cracks of stones." gourmet food."

"Why don't I know?"

The prince was startled, and when he turned around, he saw the emperor blowing his beard and staring. He said hurriedly, "I heard from the general's wife that that thing is called fungus, and it only appears when it's cloudy and rainy, and you can't eat it at other times."

"Hmm... I seem to have eaten it before." The emperor rubbed his forehead and remembered.

Seeing the emperor like this, the empress had a flash of inspiration, "You won't treat the general so harshly just because of these food talents?"

"What do you mean by harsh treatment?" The emperor ghostly yelled, "I, ahem...Am I such a stupid person!"

"Then why do you say that?" The queen looked at the emperor, "You don't reward meritorious ministers, and the emperor is still pointing out who will be able to serve as ministers and generals in the future?"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has His Majesty's intentions in doing this." As soon as the Eunuch Wang spoke, the Empress stared at him, "Be honest!"

Wang Gonggong looked at his master, and saw that the master only knew how to eat, and the man who was good at trying to figure out the holy will told everything that Xiao Er had done at the border.After he finished speaking, let alone the empress, even the crown prince was stupid.

"Here, where did General Gao get such a capable wife?" the prince murmured.

"It's in Wang's Village." Having said that, the prince smiled and said to Yourong, "Speaking of which, the general's wife and the old slave were still in the same family 500 years ago."

"Look how beautiful you are." The emperor snorted at this.

The queen said: "Is it because the emperor didn't reward General Gao because he didn't write clearly in the memorial how the enemy retreated?"

"It's not Gao Wazi who chased the enemy away, it's enough for me to reward him with a hussar general!" said the emperor.

"What about General Gao's wife, you don't want to reward either?"

The emperor scratched his head, "It is my kindness that I didn't punish them for a single crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Only then did the crown prince understand that if the imperial court does not award meritorious ministers, no matter what the reason is, it will make the generals feel cold. A jujube, to put it bluntly, I still haven't rewarded the general.

But speaking of the great general's military exploits this time... sooner or later his father will have to bleed, his father is not happy.

"Father, do you want to make things difficult for the general but have no choice?" the prince asked.

"Nonsense! Am I that kind of person?"

The queen said, "You are still such a person." Who knows what the queen suddenly thought of, and continued, "Your Majesty, I have a way, I guarantee you to get rid of this bad breath."

"Say it!" The emperor hurriedly put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, the queen despised him very much, who didn't admit it just now.

At this time, Xiaoer and Butcher Gao also lived in the Hussar General's Mansion. Xiaoer stared at a courtyard as big as Wang's Village, and asked anxiously, "Butcher, what, after this?" Is it all ours?"

The general thought Xiao Er would be angry, after all the emperor didn't give him anything other than a bigger yard, but when he saw that Xiao Er was so happy, the general didn't say anything, originally there were ten thousand taels of gold and silk Luo satin.

"Yes, Xiao Er, do you think we should find someone to rest in our yard?" Gao Butcher asked.According to Xiaoer, they want to return to Guanjiang Town, but they still have official positions, so they will inevitably come here in the future.

Xiao Er looked at the rockery in the pond not far away, and said, "Very good." As he spoke, Xiao Er stretched out his hand and gestured, "However, here we can plant the ginger and pepper we brought from the road, and here, plant a few An elm tree and a pagoda tree, when they grow up we can eat pagoda flowers and elm trees, and if we can't eat them, we can put them under the trees to enjoy the cool. And..."

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that he was full of food in his heart and eyes, the general hurriedly said, "Follow me to meet my servant!"

"Hey, you still have servants?" Xiaoer asked in surprise, "I don't know, but there are women?"

Butcher Gao raised his forehead, why Xiao Er's head is so different from others'.

"It's not considered a servant, it's a soldier who served under me in the early years." The general said after a pause, "I still have a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Kyoto, where I will place all the homeless soldiers with disabled hands and feet, and leave them there." Some of the long ones in this mansion can still meet people."

Can meet people?Xiao Er smiled, because he didn't hurt his face, "It's like Ren Yuan and Fang Zheng."

"Yes!" Butcher Gao nodded, "Xiao Er, let's live in my original mansion first, and we'll go home when it's settled here."

Xiao Er didn't feel anything wrong when he heard this. You have to ask Xiao Er that he has made such great achievements in the border, why didn't he ask Butcher Gao if the emperor rewarded him with anything.

He didn't realize that he had done something amazing. The prescriptions of powerful crossbow and gunpowder were not rare to him at all. None of his classmates in his previous life knew how to do it, and the sulfur and saltpeter were all made by Yin Wei and the others. Yes, Xiao Er felt that he moved his fingers and mouth.Just because he didn't ask a single word, the general felt more and more that Xiao Er was a treasure bestowed on him by God.

While the general and Xiaoer were busy, the emperor and the empress were also preparing for the formation of the general, and Dalang was also counting the days, "Fangzheng, didn't you say that you heard people say that we won the battle in the town yesterday?" , when will Xiao Er come back?"

Fangzheng said while teaching Xiao Shan boxing and kicking kung fu, "According to the date, it will be the end of September at the latest."

"Why?" Dalang asked.

Ren Yuan said, "If the emperor wants to reward the three armies, he will definitely keep the general in Kyoto for a while."

"Then Brother Gao is going to be promoted again?" Da Lang asked hurriedly.

Fangzheng: "Of course!"

"Brother Gao, will you not want Xiao Er?" Da Lang asked worriedly.

"How is it possible, Dalang, who do you think the general is?"

Seeing Ren Yuan glaring at him, Da Lang didn't dare to say that something was wrong in his heart, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.
