The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Chapter 102 New Type of Grain Planting

After the prisoner offering was over, Ning Shan got a one-month vacation.The main reason is that there was a great disagreement between the emperor and the king of Nan'an on how to deal with Queen Qianxiang. The two emperors had their own considerations. Shan has a long vacation.

After Ning Shan entered the palace to give the banquet, she was so drunk that she was in a coma for two days.Jia Amnesty left his precious son in the Rongxi Hall, and went to live in the wing room by himself, guarding his son's door and not allowing anyone to disturb him easily.It wasn't until the third day that Ning Shan rubbed her heavy head and got up from the bed, took two staggering steps, and saw Jia She's smiling face.

"Small, wake up!" Jia She opened his mouth excitedly and left the sound. Ning Shan wanted to laugh, but the corner of her mouth moved and touched her head, and she felt her temples twitch and hurt again.

Jia Amnesty didn't know what was going on, but saw the elder son twitching the corners of his mouth, trying to laugh and then retracting it. He was nervous, and had the illusion that he was going to be beaten in front of Jia Daishan in the past, and he said cautiously: "Dad's mouth is too happy, Don't be angry if you say something wrong."

Ning Shan supported Jia She's shoulders, looking dizzy at the sight, but this dizziness was caused by his own drinking, not because he supported Jia She to keep him from shaking.After holding him up twice, seeing Jia Amnesty still shaking, Ning Shan knew that it was her dizziness.

Supporting Jia She's shoulders, she found a chair and sat down. Ning Shan rubbed her temples with both hands, and asked after a long while, "What day is it today?"

Jia She broke his fingers and pointed to him: "It's exactly the fourth day since you returned to Beijing. If you count it from entering the city, it will be three days. That guy is really hard on you, and Lian'er couldn't wake you up yesterday." I invited a doctor, do you still remember?"

Ning Shan changed another place, pinched the bridge of her nose, rubbed her forehead, and said, "I woke up today with a bitter taste in my mouth, so I don't remember or know that someone gave me a medicinal soup."

Jia She pointed a little guilty, "It's Dad's fault. Dad forgot to give you water and candied fruit after feeding you the medicine."

Ning Shan patted Jia She's cute hand away: "How old are you, you have nothing to do with your fingers, if you have time, go out and do something with me seriously."

Jia Amnesty asked curiously, "Where are you going? What are you doing?"

Ning Shan stood up staggeringly, and as she walked out, she explained, "Go to Zhuangzi. This time I brought some grains from overseas, one is called sweet potato, and the other is called corn. It grows so well, you don’t need much surprises, and it bears a lot of fruit, so I ordered people to bring back many of them, and try to plant one, if it can grow in Daxing, it can solve the famine in the dry land disaster year.”

Jia Amnesty followed and asked, "Is that food edible? Is it delicious?"

Ning Shan said: "Eating is edible. In Qianxiang country, many people are eating it. This time, our soldiers also used it as military rations. The taste is not bad. The key is to be full. I just don't know Whether it can grow in our place, after all, the tangerine grows in the south, it becomes tangerine, and when it grows in the north, it becomes trifoliate orange. Several lieutenants and I have brought some to Beijing, intending to try planting in Zhuangzi first, and if it succeeds, we will report it later.”

As he said that, he had already reached the door, and Lin Zhixiao drove the car himself and waited attentively. Ning Shan didn't ride a horse because she was still drunk, so she got into the car with Jia Amnesty, and continued: "Not only in Beijing, but also in northern Xinjiang. In some lands, it is more prone to drought, and there are often famines. I am going to send people to try to grow those kinds of overseas crops. Do you have any southern Zhuangzi? If so, I will also send people to try to see where Most suitable?"

Jia Amnesty was very happy when he heard that the elder son had something to ask him, and agreed immediately: "Father has Zhuangzi in Jinling and Yangzhou, but if he doesn't, it's easy to buy now."

Ning Shan said: "A ready-made one is fine, there is no need to spend money."

Jia She happily agreed: "I will listen to you."

Talking along the way, I arrived at the Ning family's Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. The soldiers had already sent the grain here, and the experienced Zhuangtou had already tried to plant it in Zhang Luo.The servants of the Ning family have always been very strict in management, and they have never been used to servants like the masters of the Jia family.Therefore, when the master sent a message, someone immediately started to do it.Ning Shan didn't know much about the farm, so she just told the head of the farm that if she didn't know how to plant, she could ask the soldiers who had fought with them this time, and she wouldn't intervene.Zhuangtou naturally agreed, and Jia Amnesty also took the opportunity to ask Lin Zhixiao to arrange for people to go to Zhuangzi in Jinling and Yangzhou to try planting without mentioning it.

Taking a walk on the Zhuangzi to sober up, Ning Shan was in a good mood with the breeze blowing, suddenly she heard Jia She asked: "Shan'er, the emperor said that he would promise you a princess, but do you need to find someone to inquire about it?" That Princess Yinghua was really too mysterious, she had never heard of it before, even at the age of the emperor, she knew that she was determined, and I don't know why it was delayed until this time to propose marriage.I'm afraid there is something wrong, so throw it to Shan'er if no one wants it!Jia Amnesty was very worried.

Ning Shan said indifferently: "Anyway, the imperial decree has been issued, and there is absolutely no reason to change it. Just wait and see. If she is a good person, I will naturally have a good life with her. If you are proud of being favored, relying on your status as a princess to follow her I play tricks, and I have my own way to deal with it." The spoiled princess is not easy to deal with?Not to mention that there are so many restrictions on women in this era, and it is easy to raise no heroines. Even if he really has the ability to carry a knife and mount a horse, how can he still deal with a delicate woman?Back in the Sui and Tang dynasties, noble ladies rode their horses and raised their whips, full of vigor. At the beginning of Li and Tang dynasties, there were princesses who could lead an army of women to fight against the enemy.

But Jia She has a heart of awe: "After all, it is the princess, that is the king, Shan'er, you should not offend easily." But it hurts to think about letting the eldest son bow to the princess, this marriage has high disadvantages Jia She felt uncomfortable at the thought of having to greet his daughter-in-law in the future.The second son married a tigress and never looked down on his parents-in-law; the eldest son will marry a higher-ranking one in the future, why is it so difficult for him to return to his father-in-law's profile?

Ignoring Jia She's concerns, Ning Shan still focused on the new grain.Seeing with her own eyes that Zhuangtou planted a row of potato seeds with experienced old farmers, Ning Shan was in the mood for a while, and even went to the field to try it herself.Adhering to the belief that walking with the eldest son would not go wrong, Jia Amnesty also rolled up his sleeves and went to the field. After a lot of hard work, he dug up all the good ones planted by others before he could barely plant a few, and he even planted a few seeds that were not good at all. Stretched again.As a last resort, Ning Shan had to take the wounded back home.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard the mother-in-law shout happily: "Master is back." Seeing Jia She after shouting, she added another sentence: "Master is back too." They all went straight to Ning Shan.The first one was Yingchun, who was ecstatic. He still hadn't forgotten the etiquette. He ran up to him in a small step, bowed his body and saluted, and said, "Greetings to big brother. Big brother is sober? Is the headache better? But Do you still need to call the imperial physician to show me? The cook has made more than a dozen sobering soups, why don't you choose the one that is good for you and drink another bowl..."

Ning Shan reached out her hand to pick up Yingchun who was chattering, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for half a year, but your temper has become more lively?" Originally, this girl didn't say a word for a long time, and only answered when she asked, but now she became noisy.

A curvaceous girl at the back also bowed to Ning Shan, took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Sister is glad that big brother is back, and she got carried away for a while."

A younger girl answered immediately, "You're not forgetting your form! You forgot that my sister blocked Baoyu and got beaten for talking nonsense?"

Ning Shan glanced at Jia She, meaning she was asking, who are the two extra girls?

Jia Amnesty didn't understand his son very much, he was still rubbing his waist, and said dissatisfied to Yingchun who had written a face full of joy: "I can see your elder brother, but I can't see my master, am I hurting my waist?"

Only then did Yingchun see Jia She, she hurriedly let go of Ning Shan's arm, and went up to support Jia She: "Come on, help the master go back to the room and rest." He was dismissed with a word, and turned to grab Ning Shan, why? Look how happy I am. "Big brother has made great achievements and made great achievements. My sister has nothing to do for you. I'm tired of listening to the auspicious words. My sister doesn't use those things to quarrel with my brother. I only know that my sister is proud of you and can do it." Big brother's sister is the most proud thing in this life."

Ning Shan and Yingchun lived together for nearly a year, and now she has some affection for this sister from the beginning of only wanting to use her. Seeing her so proud of herself, she was also happy in her heart. She patted her head and said: "I brought back a lot of novelty things from Haijiang, and I'll get someone to bring them to you later, and I can share them with your little sisters." Only then did Yingchun remember that the eldest brother had never met Sister Lin and Sister Xi. No wonder the elder brother didn't answer when the two talked to each other just now.

With a slap on the head, Yingchun pulled Daiyu and Xichun one by one, and introduced: "So that the elder brother can know that this one is my father's niece and daughter, sister Lin from Aunt Min's family, named Daiyu; this one is Dong Big brother Fuzhen's direct younger sister is fourth in the list, named Xichun. Now she lives with her sister, and knowing that big brother has made great achievements, I am very happy for you." This is to tell Ning Shan that the two girls and She is in the same family and has a lot of contacts, so there is no need to be too taboo.

Ning Shan knew about Lin's family, and she couldn't forget all the things she caused because of her family property.It's just that I only heard the name before, but I saw the real person for the first time today, she is actually a very outstanding little girl, even knowing that she was raised by Jia Shishi's eccentric and selfish old lady, people can't hate her.Because there is a big age difference and they are cousins, it's okay to meet each other. Ning Shan is in a good mood today, so she took a closer look at her.

I saw that Lin Shisheng was slender and beautiful, with a slender figure and exquisite facial features like a person in a painting, probably because he was looking straight at him, a blush rose on his cheeks, and his complexion looked better.However, seeing her eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, her eyes that seem to be happy but not happy, and her natural temperament, even her dignified and generous demeanor can't hide it, she can't help but think: If this girl grows up a little longer Afterwards, following the Spring Festival, she went in and out of the gatherings of ladies in the capital, and it was necessary to dazzle the capital, provoking those elegant children to compete for marriage.

Looking at the younger Xichun, she also has a good appearance, with white skin like jade, brows like emerald green, red lips slightly pursed, her temper seems a bit stubborn, she looks like a little girl with her own opinions.Ning Shan secretly said: Although the total number of women I have seen in the past and present lives is not too many, it can be seen that these younger sisters are also extremely beautiful in terms of appearance alone.With such a beautiful little girl in the family, I'm afraid there must be more.

But since Yingchun is alone and has no playmates, it's hard not to let her associate with them.The most important thing is that this is the mansion of silly father, not his home, and he has no position to take care of it.I just made up my mind to avoid going around the back house in the future, and try not to meet these two little girls as much as possible.His words are formidable, although he acts upright and is not afraid of gossip, but he is not interested in being a casual talking point for others.
