pamper you, make you bad

When they approached, Xi Yutong recognized that the leader was the girl in the first place.

At first, she saw that the other party took the porridge and left, and thought it was because she didn't plan to be a helper, but now that the other party brought so many victims back, it seems that she misunderstood.

"Fathers and folks, this is where you get the porridge. If you want to work as a helper to earn money, you can register with Miss Xiaohe next door." Qiu Shi led people to the porridge shed, and after explaining, he waved to everyone to line up.

Xi Yutong squinted his eyes to look at the other party, and then waved to the other party: "Qiu Shi, come here."

Qiu Shi drank the porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth with his hand, walked towards her, and asked with a smile, "Miss Xi, what's your order?"

"How did you bring so many people here?" Xi Yutong sent someone to talk about it yesterday, and only a few hundred people came here.But now Qiushi brought at least two to three hundred people.

"Miss, the elders in the village are very pragmatic." Qiu Shi grinned, held up the steamed bun in his hand, and explained, "The imperial court distributes porridge and food, but the porridge is very thin, there are not a few grains of rice, and the steamed bun is even worse. Kowtow hard. I went over with the porridge and steamed buns given by the lady, and when they saw it, they were naturally willing to follow."

"You are smart." Xi Yutong touched his chin and asked, "Are you going to be a helper?"

Qiu Shi nodded.

"Being a helper is a waste of your ingenuity." Xi Yutong raised his head, called Cui Qingyao over, told him about bringing the victims here, and asked, "Look at this girl, what do you think?"

Cui Qingyao didn't know what she meant, so she glanced at Qiu Shi, her eyes were clear, not as gloomy and hopeless as other disaster victims, she nodded: "It's smart."

"In this case, those girls will arrange for you." Xi Yutong smiled, "The shop on West Street is short of people, you can teach them well, and they can be arranged."

Cui Qingyao was a little helpless, but she was used to Xi Yutong's style of throwing away the shopkeeper, so she could only nod.

Seeing that she agreed, Xi Yutong looked at the protagonist in the discussion: "Qiu Shi, would you like to work in my porcelain workshop?"

One is a helper, helping to make porcelain, and the other is a job in a porcelain workshop. It is about the shopkeeper who usually sells porcelain, so naturally there is no need to choose.

Qiu Shi nodded quickly: "Thank you for your appreciation, Miss, Qiu Shi will definitely work hard."

"Yeah." Xi Yutong looked at the person next to her, "This is Qingyao, you call her Sister Cui, and she will arrange it in the future."

"Yes." Qiu Shi looked at Cui Qingyao with a smile, "I will trouble Sister Cui more from now on."

Cui Qingyao nodded.

"There should be nothing else going on here, so I'll go back first." The matter of the locust plague had not yet been resolved, and Xi Yutong was always thinking in his heart. Seeing that she couldn't intervene here, she told Cui Qingyao and left with Xiaotao.

Cui Qingyao watched her leave, and then looked at the people behind her: "Miss is kind, and is willing to give you a chance. But don't even think about getting married. If you make any mistakes in the future, I will not show mercy .”

Qiu Shi nodded honestly, wondering in his heart: "Sister Cui, what kind of girl is our young lady?"

This is not a secret, and you will know it after staying for a long time, so Cui Qingyao didn't hide it, and said with pride: "Miss' father is the grand master of the court, and he is the proud daughter of heaven."

Qiu Shi had little knowledge, but he also knew that the grand master was a great official, so seeing Cui Qingyao's expression, he couldn't help but be infected a little bit.

Back at the mansion, Xi Yutong was a little surprised to learn that Wang Yuan had arrived.

"Where is he now?" Xi Yutong learned that he had been taken to the living room, so he hurriedly took Xiaotao there.

Wang Yuan was a little restless. Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer, he quickly stood up and bowed to Xi Yutong: "Miss Xi."

Xi Yutong took a look and saw that the other party didn't look embarrassed, so he asked: "Boss Wang came to see me for something? Could it be that Ms. Yao has a problem for you?"

"No and no." Wang Yuan picked up the paper next to it and handed it to her, "I have found the relevant records of the locust plague."

Xi Yutong was startled, took the white paper and quickly flipped through it, "Boss Wang, don't you say that you have forgotten your childhood memories? Your father is too old to remember and lost relevant information?"

Wang Yuan touched his beard resentfully, "My father did not record it. But after I went back, I remembered that my father mentioned that the elders in the family had also been to Huafu. Thinking that there might be records, I found out the elders' notes.

I never thought that I would actually find the record that my great-grandfather had been to Shaohua many years ago.Nahuafu used to be named Shaohua in the old days. After consulting ancient books, I learned that there was indeed a plague of locusts.Although I don't know why it was not included in the miscellaneous notes later, it is lucky to keep it. "

Xi Yutong glanced briefly, and the description was more detailed than that in "Wang Shi Za Ji". It recorded from the appearance of the locust plague at noon until the locust plague flew to the next town.The most important thing is that it describes some methods of farmers to deal with locust plagues and the habits of locusts.For example, it is said above that locusts are afraid of fire, and it is best to burn them to death before breaking their eggs.

Xi Yutong put away the meager pieces of paper, being careful not to damage them, and looked at the other party gratefully: "Boss Wang, you really helped me a lot."

Wang Yuan shook his head: "As long as it can be useful to Miss Xi. If there is nothing wrong, Wang will leave."

Xi Yutong persuaded him a few words, but Wang Yuan didn't intend to stay as a guest, so she could only give up and let Xiaotao send him out.

Although Wang Yuan didn't make a request, she remembered the other party's favor in her heart.

He took it out and read it back and forth several times, and after making sure that he read it correctly, Xi Yutong took the papers to the study.

In fact, Xi Hongbo didn't place too much hope on his daughter. It wasn't that he looked down on his own daughter, but that the Holy Majesty had arranged so many people and there was no progress. How could one person compare to this large group of people?

Knowing that Xi Yutong found the records again, Xi Hongbo was a little surprised: "You mean, you found the detailed records?"

It was the first time Xi Yutong saw this expression on the other side, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times before putting down the blank paper in his hand: "Father, to be serious, it wasn't my daughter who found it."

Then, she told about going to West Street and Wang Yuan.

After hearing this, Xi Hongbo couldn't help sighing, "It's really a coincidence."

Xi Yutong nodded in agreement: "It's just that Wang Yuan didn't ask for anything. Father, when you tell His Majesty, you might as well give His Majesty a reward."

"It's natural." Xi Hongbo couldn't wait to pick up the blank paper and stood up. "The situation is urgent. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor now."

Xi Yutong looked at it and stopped him: "Father, it's almost noon now, why don't you have lunch before entering the palace?"

Xi Hongbo shook his head: "Father is not hungry, we will eat when we come back. Be good, you can eat first." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Xi Yutong thought about his father entering the palace to discuss the locust plague with His Majesty, so he had no other thoughts, and kept waiting in the yard.

Seeing that she was bored, Xiao He offered to play chess.

The chess skills of the two of them are almost the same, you can play against each other, and Xiao He narrowly won the two games, which made Xi Yutong very serious in the third game, as if he wanted to win one back.

In the evening, Xiaotao, who went out to the yard, went back and forth, still shouting something.

"I've said it several times, telling you not to be frizzy, why don't you listen to it." Xi Yutong put down Heizi, "Which maid is like you?"

Xiaotao who ran to the door stuck out her tongue when she heard the words, and hurriedly straightened her clothes before walking over with a smile.

"Miss, this servant has received a letter from the prince, and I am anxious to let you see it." Xiaotao handed the letter to her, "Miss, this is sent by Prince Yi's mansion, saying that the prince wrote to you."

Before Xi Yutong could make a sound, she said in confusion, "Miss, the letter written by the prince seems to be stuffed with something. It feels hard and heavy, like a stone." Xiaotao looked at the bulging hand. Envelopes, all worried that the contents inside would burst out.

Xi Yutong recalled the words in the last letter, her face turned reddish, her chess hand trembled, and she misplaced it, so that she lost to Xiao He by one piece.

Xiaohe was originally at a disadvantage, but when she made a mistake with this chess piece, she turned defeat into victory, took Xi Yutong's white piece, and said with a smile: "Miss, I won."

Xi Yutong still thought that she could really win with her own strength, but she didn't expect that this sudden letter would cause her to lose again. The shyness disappeared immediately, and she waved her hand in disgust, "Put it in my room first, I'll watch it later .”

As for what Xiaotao said was heavy, it was probably because the other party stuffed something weird.According to Xiaotao's description, it might be a stone, or it might be a stone that the other party picked up somewhere, just like the leaf that he didn't know where to pick up.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the protruding envelope subtly, the more she looked at it, the more it looked like a stone.

Xiaotao didn't know why she had a weird face, but she had to follow her orders.

Thinking of something, she stopped again, "Miss, the person who delivered the letter just now said that he wanted to ask the lady to write back a letter to the prince, and the number of words should be more than before."

Speaking of this, Xiaotao was happy, and joked, "Miss, it seems that the word "read" you wrote last time made the prince feel uncomfortable, otherwise he would not have specifically told you to write more."

Xi Yutong thought of Feng Yuyi's stunned expression when he saw the reply, and subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, "Although there are few words, it is better to be concise, and it means that I have read the letter written by the other party carefully. What's wrong?"

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand, "Put the letter under my pillow first, and I will reply naturally after reading it later." She added, "The number of words will definitely be more than before."

It's too much, but how much is her business, after all, one more word is too much.

Xi Yutong narrowed her eyes slyly, and quickly dropped her hand.

Xiao He glanced at her, guessed something instantly, but didn't say anything, and honestly picked up the white piece and put it on the chessboard.

Only the ignorant Xiaotao would think that if she added some words, she would reply the letter normally, so she responded briskly, and then went back to the house with the letter.

Xi Yutong thought about the possible content of the letter, and how to reply to the letter so that the other party's mood was blocked, and his mind gradually drifted away from the chess pieces in front of him.

The mind is not here, and it still loses after a while.

Xiao He saw through her thoughts, put away the chess pieces, and also took the white piece in Xi Yutong's hand, and said without raising her head, "Miss, if you really want to know, you might as well go and see what was written in the prince's letter right now. It’s kind of boring to think about it here.”

Xi Yutong retorted subconsciously: "I didn't think about anything."

Xiao He looked up at her, then continued to arrange the chess pieces, and said with a smile: "Miss, you are only deceiving that girl Xiaotao, do you think Xiao He will believe it?"

"It's nothing more than nonsense, nothing interesting." Even so, she put down the chess pieces in her hand, got up, stretched, and said, "I'm a little tired, go back and lie down for a while, and come see me after eating."

Xiao He understood her daughter's duplicity, knew that she must read the prince's letter, and nodded with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, this servant will remember."

Xi Yutong glanced at her, turned around and entered the room without saying anything.

"Miss." Xiaotao was putting away the letter and coming out, when she met her, she felt a little strange, "Aren't you playing chess with Xiaohe? Why did you come in?"

"I'm a little tired after playing for a long time." Xi Yutong raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, "I want to lie down for a while."

Xiaotao hesitated and asked: "Then servant will serve you to go to bed?"

Xi Yutong frowned slightly: "No, I'll just lie down with my clothes on for a while, you go down first."

Xiaotao nodded, and was about to go down, when she thought of something, she turned around and asked, "Miss, if you want to reply to the letter, you need to do it as soon as possible, I heard from the elder brother that the sender will leave at [-]:[-] tomorrow, if you don't send it tonight, then I will send it to you." Have to wait for a while."

Xi Yutong paused and nodded: "I see, you go down first."

Xiao Tao lowered her body towards her, stepped back a few steps before getting up and leaving.
