The son crosses every night

Chapter 96 Spring Plowing

He Xiling is not an inexperienced person. When he first started his business, he had seen all kinds of ghosts and monsters, and heard all kinds of incredible experiences. However, what happened to Tanghua still shocked him.

Chen Sui was well aware of this feeling of breaking three views, he patted his boyfriend, and explained to Ruan Shi: "Then let's go back first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

He Xiling was in a trance, but still remembered turning his head and saying, "Don't worry, I will remember to keep the secret."

Tang Hua was moved and nodded quickly, "Thank you Brother He, we will treat you to dinner next time!"

He Xiling smiled wryly and waved his hands. .

After seeing them off, Tang Hua and Ruan Shijie came back to clean up the table.

Tang Hua let out a sigh of relief, "I don't know what Brother He thinks?"

"What can you think?" Ruan Shijie said: "He is younger, and it is best to accept this kind of thing. There shouldn't be any big problems. It will be fine in two days."

Tang Hua nodded.

The faucet was turned on, and the water flowed out.

Ruan Shijie washed his hands, turned and looked at him, "Don't worry, everything is up to me."

Tang Hua was still apprehensive at first, but when he met his gentle and calm eyes, the raised heart was completely let go.

Tang Hua bent his eyes and smiled, "Brother Ruan is mighty."

After washing the dishes, the two went upstairs.

Ruan Shijie asked: "Are you busy in the past six months? You can come here around the clock now. Do you want to start school in the first half of the year, or in the second half of the year?"

Tang Hua thought for a while, "Let's start school again in the second half of the year, just to be with the next freshmen, so as not to miss anything. I will take them to plant things in the first half of the year, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare some time. "

The Spring Festival has passed, and the soil will soon be loosened to plant spring wheat. After the wheat is planted, vegetables must be planted, and rice is also ready to be planted.

Farming is the most important thing about solar terms, and the rounds of busy farm work are in full swing. Tanghua himself is not very good at farming. Under such circumstances, as the person in charge, he may not be able to spare time.

Ruan Shijie nodded to express his understanding, "I'll go and tell them, and I won't go until next semester."

Tang Hua felt quite uncomfortable staying in the palace, and went back to Huangzhuang on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

King Jingning originally wanted to stay with him for a few more days, but when he saw him ordering his servants to carry things to the Zhuangzi in high spirits, he guessed that he was uncomfortable in the mansion, so he sighed silently, didn't say much, just called his servants Three carts were loaded with food and sent to Zhuangzi.

Li Changli and the others came back two days earlier than him, and they had arranged for the field servants to drive the oxen to plow the field, and the spring wheat was ready to be planted, and they had to plant vegetables again, lest there would be a shortage of vegetables in March and April.

The past few days are not as cold as before, the soil has thawed, and the field servants bring water from a small reservoir to soak all the farmland. After soaking through, they can plow the land. Compared with plowing dry land in the past, plowing like this is faster Much simpler.

There were originally ten cows in the village, but last year we bought a batch of calves. Each old cow can be used to plow the field, and the calves are strong, tall and gentle to plow the field.

This batch of cows had nose rings last year, and they are just right for use now.

The weather has been okay these days, not much sun, no rain, mostly cloudy weather.

The beginning of spring this year is still a few days away. Most people are celebrating the New Year, and the farm servants in Zhuangzi are working in full swing. Last year, Tanghua set up various rewards, and the farm servants were motivated, so they were particularly active in their work.

Tang Hua led people to inspect the farmland, and next to his ears were the shouts of field servants working.

He took a book bound with white paper in one hand, and walked around the field with a self-made pencil in the other, recording the conditions in the field, such as birds, insects, weed species, etc. in the field.

Li Changli and the others didn't understand what Tang Hua was doing to record these things, but they didn't dare to ask more questions, and just followed Tang Hua to read his records.

Tang Hua walked around and happened to arrive at Team One's site again.

Qian Gangyi was plowing the field with his team members, chanting loudly, echoing the chants of the team next door.

The buffalo chewed while resting, and mooed from time to time, echoing the birdsong in early spring, making it very lively.

From this atmosphere, it was obvious that the field servants were tired of working, but they were having a good time, and Tang Hua couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

The sky was cloudy, the sun didn't come out, and the weather was a bit cold. The field servant who was going to the field should roll up his trousers and step on the field with bare feet, busy with enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Tang Hua turned his head and ordered, "Today, kill a few chickens at noon, and add ginger and chicken soup in a stew bucket."

The subordinates understood that this was a chicken soup to drive away the cold, so they hurriedly responded.

Tang Hua once strictly ordered that when he was patrolling the fields, his subordinates did not have to stop and salute. When they saw Tang Hua, they still did their own thing, and at most they smiled at him embarrassedly as greetings.

Tang Hua looked around, and waved to Qian Gangyi, beckoning him to come over.

Qian Gangyi's eyes were bright, and when he saw Tanghua calling him, he hurriedly handed over the work in his hands to the team members, and walked quickly to the ridge. He hadn't forgotten to wash his feet with water before.

"My lord, did you call me?"

"Well, I want to ask you something." Yan Hua signaled him to put on his shoes quickly, and motioned him to stand in front of him.

Qian Gangyi smiled and hurried over.

"Now that you are plowing the land, how many insects are there in the field?"

"My lord, after a winter rest, there are not too many insects now."

"What's the algorithm? Are there more worms that have grown vegetables before, or more worms that haven't grown vegetables?"

"There are more ground worms that don't grow vegetables. We have caught all the ground worms that grow vegetables."

"What kind of insects are there?"

"Grubs, mole crickets, dayworms, and cutworms can all be seen, and cutworms are the most. However, once the water is soaked in the field, cutworms die in sevens and eights. When we plow the fields, most of them still pick up dead insects and living ones. Insects are relatively rare."

"Hmm. Next question. Is the land good for plowing? Only soaked, soaked in water, or not soaked in water. Which kind of land is good for plowing?"

Qian Gangyi replied without hesitation: "The land soaked in water is the best to plow!"

Tang Hua asked some more routine questions, took notes after greetings, and then asked Qian Gangyi to go back.

He not only called Qian Gangyi, but also the captains of several other teams.

When Tanghua was doing basic research and needed to collect a large amount of data, he didn't ask any particularly difficult questions.

When Tanghua called them for the first time, they were still a little trembling, but now they are used to being asked, and they can answer all of Tanghua's questions almost without thinking.

These field servants are all uneducated old men, they ask questions and answer them, and the time flies by every time they come and go.

Tang Hua walked around and asked around, and it was almost time for lunch.

You can eat meat today, and Tang Hua specially asked someone to add a bucket of chicken soup. The soup made by the old hen can be smelled from afar. Even if a lot of ginger is added to drive away the cold, the fragrance is very obvious.

In addition to the hundreds of thousands of catties of vegetables they planted last year, they also kept some for themselves, such as white radish, pickled radish, stewed radish, dried radish, pickled cabbage, dried cabbage, pickled cabbage, pickled cabbage, Spicy cabbage, sour cabbage.

The vegetables they grow are of good quality, and they are also delicious after being made into various products, especially sour cabbage, salted radish, etc. fried with pepper, with enough salt, it is sour and fragrant, and it goes well with rice.

These field servants, who are used to working as coolies, can eat four or five bowls of this kind of food.

After Tang Hua took over them, they treated them very well. Among other things, at least they were provided with enough food. The life of the field servants was much better than before.

Tanghua finished recording in the morning and went to see the wheat seeds in the afternoon. They have to make a preliminary selection of wheat seeds.

He ordered his subordinates to buy some wheat seeds from the major food stores in the imperial capital, and they will inspect them directly in the afternoon.

Different from others, when Tanghua inspects wheat seeds, he not only checks the plumpness and particle size of the seeds, but also makes noodles, tastes the taste of these seeds, and finally checks the germination rate.

Li Changli and the others knew that he was a strict character, and they didn't dare to fool him, so they bought some wheat seeds from the six grain stores in the whole imperial capital.

Tang Hua also made detailed records, and specially sent a knowledgeable person to explain to him where the wheat was produced.

If the wheat is good, the climate and soil of the place where it is produced is different from theirs, they will not be able to grow any good results with this kind of seeds.

Unlike other crops, spring wheat is sown as early as possible, because spring wheat has a vernalization stage.

After the seeds of spring wheat germinate in the soil, they must go through certain low temperature conditions before they can stand up and develop into joints and form strong plants.

Tanghua ordered Li Changli to let his men speed up to clear out the fields and prepare for sowing.

They have a total of [-] mu of land. Although each mu of land can be directly or indirectly connected to ditches in theory, not every mu of land can be irrigated with sufficient water.

Especially now that it is winter, it is already in the dry season. Even if they have reservoirs and ditches leading directly to the mountains, the water source is still not enough.

I don't feel it at ordinary times, but now it becomes obvious when a lot of water is needed. Until then, Tanghua found that their reservoir was built a bit small.

Now that there is no cement, Tanghua does not dare to build a large reservoir, because he is afraid of spring floods and summer floods. If the reservoir is too full, the embankment will collapse. At that time, their Huangzhuang will bear the brunt of it.

However, with a field of more than 500 mu, even if he built several reservoirs, these reservoirs are only more than ten mu in size, or in other words, it is more appropriate to call a larger pond.

Usually the water is fine, but now that the spring sowing period is in urgent need of water, the water volume of these six reservoirs is not enough.

Tang Hua reckoned that next time he could expand these reservoirs again. This year, he could work harder to get the cement formula out, and build the reservoir again during the winter slack season. Next year, he would not be afraid of running out of water. up.

Tang Hua is really diligent, many people in the imperial capital are paying attention to him, and the people in the palace also put his news in the first step.

On this day, the emperor paid his respects to the queen mother, and somehow talked about Jianghua on the way.

The Empress Dowager had won Tanghua's clothes and jewelry, and had a very good impression of him. When talking about him, she couldn't help feeling: "This is really a filial child. There are not many emperors in Ai's family who are as caring as he is. It’s rare to be so capable.”

"That's true." The emperor coaxed the old lady to be happy, and said with a smile: "The older he is, the smarter he is. That child also has a deep connection with Buddhism. I heard that there are gods and Buddhas who often enter his dreams."

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, "Oh, what's going on? Why haven't the Ai family heard of it?"

"This also happened last year. At that time, he lived in a village not far from the emperor to study and said that he wanted to take an exam. When the new year was approaching, he suddenly rode back overnight to see me. He said that he dreamed that the frontier was in an emergency. At that time, I was still baffled, but I asked him, and it turned out to be the case. Thanks to his early warning, the frontier generals were on guard so that the barbarians did not succeed."

The queen mother is old, and she believes in these ghosts and ghosts, she leaned forward a little, "Can this be dreamed?"

The emperor laughed and said, "Perhaps he really dreamed about it. Otherwise, we are thousands of miles away, and I don't know where he got the news, and what he said is so accurate."

"That's amazing." The Empress Dowager said: "Otherwise send him into the palace to talk with Ai's family and listen to what he has to say."

The Empress Dowager was about to send out the edict, and the favored eunuch came over and smiled carefully: "Go back to your mother, General Qing Yuan has already gone to Zhuangzi, after receiving the edict, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back early tomorrow morning."

Tang Hua was granted the title of General of the Second Rank Fuguo, titled "Qingyuan".

The queen mother subconsciously looked up at the emperor, "It's so early, hasn't he gone to court yet? Why is he on duty?"

The emperor was also surprised, "I didn't order him to be on duty early. Did he really go on duty, or did he just live there for a while?"

The eunuch said: "I'm afraid they are already on duty. I heard that they have started to grow wheat."

When the queen mother heard what he said, she knew that Yanhua must already be working, otherwise the eunuch would not dare to take the risk of deceiving the emperor to answer like this.

"Why is this kid so honest? He has already started working before the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."

The emperor said: "He has always been honest. Last year, he won the first place in Enkao. I asked him where he wanted to go. He turned down the job in the household department and wanted to farm elsewhere. I couldn't persuade him."

The queen mother sighed, "Such a diligent courtier is rare."

The emperor smiled and said, "I just hope that there will be more ministers like this in the world. There is nothing left and right. I will go and see how he is doing farming."

The queen mother felt itchy when she heard him say that, "The Ai family will follow suit."

Both of them were masters of what they said they would do, as soon as the words came out of their mouths, they would make a fuss about it.

The subordinates hurriedly persuaded her, and the queen also said: "Queen mother, let's go tomorrow, the sky is getting dark, you can't see much if you go there."

The emperor didn't expect that his mother would also want to go, so when there were too many people, he had to give time for Tanghua to make arrangements. He persuaded: "Mother, don't be in a hurry, I'd better go and see tomorrow. I will give him a decree first, so that he is ready to welcome her." drive."

The queen mother was just persuaded to sit down, and she waved her hands quickly when she heard the words, "Don't. If you order him to prepare, he will get everything in order, and make everything neat and tidy. It's meaningless, why don't we Go directly and see how his Zhuangzi is."

The emperor smiled and said, "That's okay, we'll set off tomorrow morning."

Tanghua didn't know that the emperor was coming, he was busy planting wheat.

When they plowed the land before, they specially put water in it for the plow and to drown the pests, but the wheat didn't need much water, and the roots would rot if there was too much water.

He is now leading his men to monitor the water content in the soil, and wait until it is almost dry before planting the wheat.

There is also some dry soil, which has already been planted. Tanghua asked them to make a record, and compare it when they are harvested to see which method grows better wheat.

When Yu Jia arrived, he took Li Changli and they were holding bowls of soil for comparison. Tang Hua also rolled the soil with his hands very down-to-earth to see if it was hardened and what the main ingredients in the soil were.

Grass seeds, grass roots, insect eggs, stones, sand, etc., can be seen with the naked eye, and the rest must be made into an aqueous solution with the help of tools and then tested.

When they were busy, the guards outside rushed in, knelt down on their knees, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager are here!"

Huangzhuang did not need guards, and no one above was willing to provide him with guards. These guards were brought from the mansion by Tang Hua, and they were all his confidants.

Seeing his flustered look, Tang Hua glanced at Li Changli and the others who were obviously flustered beside him, nodded solemnly and said, "In that case, prepare to welcome you."

He himself washed his hands with the water from the field, and then asked: "Where are your majesty and the empress dowager, but they are here."

The guard was trembling, and hurriedly said: "It's just outside Huangzhuang."

"Didn't you tell you to keep watch? Why didn't you find out earlier?"

The guard was crying and didn't dare to answer.

Tang Hua took a deep breath, "Follow me to meet you."

The emperor has come to them for the second time. When Tang Hua went out, the emperor and the queen mother were looking around.

Seeing him, the emperor smiled and said, "You guys are tidy and tidy. It looks better than last year."

Tang Hua hurriedly knelt down, "I greet the emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother."

Both the emperor and the queen mother said: "Excuse me."

Tang Hua was a little cautious, "The reservoir has been repaired, and the water has been brought in. The scenery is better than last year. I didn't know that the emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother were here, and I was disappointed. I also ask the emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother to forgive me."

The Queen Mother patted his hand, "Good boy, today Aijia came to visit as his own family, you don't have to be cautious. Earlier Aijia asked them not to tell them in advance, just wanted to come and see what you usually do. How are you usually doing?" , what happened today.”

Tang Hua hurriedly bowed his body to invite the two to go in, followed by a large group of eunuchs and maids.

It was the first time that their Zhuangzi was so lively since its establishment, and it was not so lively when the emperor came last time.

As soon as the Empress Dowager entered, she saw neat fields, some of which were planted with sprouts, tender and green, swaying with the spring breeze, some of which had just been plowed, and the water in the fields was rippling, reflecting the clouds in the sky. Stand out.

The air is filled with the unique smell of soil, which is very special.

The empress dowager and the emperor lived in the palace for a long time and did not come out often.Seeing this idyllic scenery, I fell in love with it first.

The queen mother looked around, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Not bad."

Tang Hua hurriedly said with a smile: "The minister is preparing to plant wheat, does the emperor's grandmother want to come with the minister to have a look?"

"Why did you plant your wheat so late? When Ai's family came, it seemed that many people on the road had already planted their wheat?"

"Grandmother Huihuang, they probably planted winter wheat, but the one here is spring wheat, and there are different varieties."

"Oh, what's the difference between spring wheat and winter wheat?"

"There are a lot of differences. The planting time, growth time, taste and output are different. I should have started planting winter wheat last year, but I didn't fix it well. I can only plant spring wheat first. I will try winter wheat this winter and compare the two varieties. What a difference."

The empress dowager and the emperor listened to his explanation, nodded repeatedly, and looked at him more kindly.

When Zhuang Huashen made a move, there was a piece of dirt on his wrist, but he didn't notice it himself, but the emperor and the queen mother could clearly see it.

He is a person who does practical things, and he cares about this field. He introduced this field and the crops on it like a treasure, and he talked a lot more than usual.

"Hey," the queen mother looked curious when she saw the vegetable seedlings in several acres of fields, "are you rapeseed seedlings?"

"Grandmother has good eyesight. This is rape seedlings. I have planted a total of [-] acres of rape seedlings this year, and they haven't been fully planted yet. This is only part of it."

The emperor asked curiously, "Why do you plant so many rapeseeds? Are you afraid you won't be able to eat all the [-] acres?"

Tang Hua hurriedly explained: "There are many ways to eat rapeseed. When you are young, you can eat vegetable seedlings, and when you are older, you can eat cabbage hearts. When it blooms, you can fry rapeseed in vegetable oil. The fertilizer and vegetable leaves for oil extraction can still be used at that time. Come and feed the pigs, chickens, fish, etc."

Tang Hua explained: "I see that many people eat lard. If they can grow more vegetables, the price of vegetable oil will drop, which is a good thing for the country and the people. But this matter needs to be planned slowly. If it works, it will take a while." In ten or twenty years, the number of people who eat rapeseed oil will gradually increase.”

The emperor nodded, "Your Zhuangzi, you can decide for yourself."

Five hundred acres of land is not a small area, and Tang Hua took them around for a walk, and they went there in the middle of the morning.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Tang Hua couldn't drive them back, so he could only carefully ask the two of them if they had any plans to have dinner here.

It is rare for the Queen Mother to walk so much today, and her appetite is whetting. She was a little hungry, so she smiled and said: "Let's eat here, and the Ai family will also taste the vegetables you grow."

The emperor had no objection, and joked, "I'll take care of you today."

How could Tanghua dare to accept such a joke, so he hurriedly saluted and went to order his subordinates.

The emperor and the empress dowager were all busy with their subordinates. Forbidden soldiers, eunuchs, maids, and people from all walks of life served in an orderly manner, not only to ensure that the lunch at noon could be eaten, but also to prevent people from being poisoned.

Tanghua still had to talk with Yujia, after thinking about it, he asked Li Changli and others to come over and order, "Cook the dishes we often cook at noon."

It is not easy to miss making those dishes, and you can also taste something new.

Tang Hua instructed carefully, "Go to the reservoir to catch a few fish and make pickled fish with less spicy peppers. Kill a chicken and soak it in white chicken, make duck with sour bamboo shoots, and make cabbage dumplings as the staple food. Make a wild vegetable dumpling. The rest of the vegetables, melons and fruits, you look at, would rather have more than simple."

"Yes!" Li Changli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly went to prepare meals under the watchful eyes of the imperial guards.

It was the first time he had received such an important task, and his hair was wet with sweat in the winter.

Tang Hua said politely to Zhang Xianning, General of the Forbidden Army who was waiting here, "Please trouble General Zhang, please pay more attention to this place."

"Naturally, Mr. Gu, you don't have to be polite."

Tang Hua nodded and went back to talk with the two of them.

They walked slowly in the morning. After such a walk, the Queen Mother exercised her muscles and bones for a while, and she felt quite comfortable and in a good mood.

Tang Hua entertained them with tea and snacks, fortunately King Jingning sent him several carts of food before, so it is not too cold now.

The subordinates served them with all their heart, and Li Changli and others put all their efforts into feeding them, ordering many field servants to kill chickens and pigs together, and pack up some vegetables.

These dishes are not exquisite dishes, but they are fresh, the dishes are fresh, and the dishes are also fresh. The emperor and the empress dowager have traveled a lot, and it is when they are hungry that they taste very delicious.

The meal was a joy for the host and guests. After lunch, Tang Hua finally sent the emperor and the queen mother away, and he was relieved in his heart.

The empress dowager and the emperor were very satisfied with him. Before leaving, the empress dowager held his hand and told her earnestly, "The Ai family knows that you are a good person. You should not be too simple when you live here. You are still young, so don't lose money." own body."

The empress dowager of a country can be said to be extremely kind, Tang Hua was moved in his heart, and saluted: "Thank you, the emperor's grandmother, I will take good care of myself, so I don't want you to worry!"

The Empress Dowager reassured: "That's right, take care of your body, and you can bring more blessings to the world."

Tanghua didn't know why the queen mother said such words, it might be purely polite words, but when the words spread, half of the emperor was shocked.

Afterwards, both the emperor and the queen mother gave rewards, which made many people jealous.

Many people at Tanghua's age are still white and worthless. Even if they are a generation older than him, they are just petty officials.

There are few in the imperial capital like him. He has reached this height before he turned twenty, and he is favored by the emperor and the queen mother. If he can continue like this, there may be no good luck in the future.

To be honest, Tanghua is just a concubine, so it was not up to him to ask for a title. His elder brother wants to inherit the palace, and his younger brother is the son of a concubine, so he should be able to ask for a title.

As the bastard in the middle, he can't go up or down, which is a bit embarrassing.It is impossible for the emperor to treat the Jingning Palace so favorably. There are already many princes, dozens of descendants, and the authentic princes and grandchildren do not necessarily have titles. It is even less likely that he is a concubine.

However, all the emperors felt that those who were unlikely to be promising were the most promising people. No matter whether he was an official or a businessman, Tang Hua was doing well, which surprised many people.

Just this time, there are countless people who secretly hate him.

People who called him "Gu Kuang" and other nicknames expected him to be arrogant and self-destructive. It's just unpredictable. I'm sorry for him.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the morning dynasty officially opened.

Tanghua is now a fourth-rank official, and he doesn't usually go to court, but he must participate in the grand court meeting. Like the opening of the court on the tenth day of the new year, he must attend the first great court meeting.

Jiang Pingyuan usually lived with him in Zhuangzi, knowing that he was going to open an imperial court, he ordered Jing Yi and Rui Zhi to iron their clothes the night before and prepare their boots for the imperial court.

They were far away, and before dawn on the second day, Tang Hua was dug up and sent to a carriage, and Jiang Pingyuan drove him to the palace himself.

Yan Hua's brows and eyes were gloomy, and he was so sleepy that he yawned in the carriage, and murmured: "This day is too much, the sky is cold and sleepy, and I have to go to court with bumps and bumps."

Jiang Pingyuan Wensheng, "My lord, don't say such strange things. Is this an honor that many people can't ask for? If you were an ordinary person, you would rather live ten or twenty years short, and I'm afraid you would also want to be a top-ranking son." Opportunity."

"That's the truth, so I'll just talk about it in front of you." Tang Hua leaned on the cushion and ate some snacks from the box, "I asked Qian Qu and the others to go to the Lantern Festival in a few days, remember to spare some time Come with me."

"I see."

Jiang Pingyuan is also busy with the new year. He has to manage the shop and arrange two Zhuangzi. The printing and dyeing of Xiangyun yarn in Ganhua cannot be stopped, Guzhun's glass must continue to be fired, and Lang kiln porcelain has to follow suit. Enter.

He is the chief housekeeper, although there are many people at his disposal below, but so many things are enough to keep him busy.

Jiang Pingyuan was too busy to worry about his life's major events.

On the contrary, Tanghua has solved his lifelong affairs, he is busy here during the day, and clings to his brother Ruan at night, living a fulfilling and happy life.

Tanghua lives in Zhuangzi, so he doesn't have to worry about someone breaking into his room suddenly, and he has been secretly planning to go to sleep with Ruan Shi at night.

If Ruan Shijie hadn't been too busy recently to deal with his company's new project, the Tanghua plan would have succeeded long ago.

When Tanghua arrived in front of the palace gate, the genius showed a little white light.

Most of the officials have already arrived, and everyone is eating pancakes, and talking together in twos and threes.

Many people greeted him with smiling faces when they saw Tang Hua coming, including some officers.

Tang Hua hurriedly responded modestly, flattering those who should flatter, and making friends who should make friends. In just over a year, he has become an old fritter who is quite adapted to the officialdom.

The court soon began, everyone lined up, and under the guidance of the eunuch, they slowly went to the meeting hall.

Tang Hua stood at the back and listened to the audience.

A small official of his level, unless there is any special matter, basically can't speak in the court, even if there are many things, the above memorials are the main ones.Their official positions are too low, generally speaking, they do not have the opportunity to speak.

The vast majority of people are more cautious when they become officials, and they follow the doctrine of the mean, so they won't be such a rafter.

Tang Hua stood and listened for nearly two hours, knowing all the important affairs of the country.

With the sound of the eunuch retreating, Tang Hua and the others with low ranks stood where they were, and waited for the adults in front to leave first before slowly following behind.

"Zhuhua——" Hearing someone calling him in front, Zonghua felt that the voice was familiar, he opened his eyes wide and looked forward, only to see the fourth prince waving at him, and the second prince Gu Ge was also there.

Tang Hua's heart trembled, but he trotted a few steps towards them, bowed earnestly, and called out, "I've met the Second Highness, the Fourth Highness."

The second prince Gu Ge said with a smile: "Why does Tang Hua have to be so polite? They are all relatives, so just call us elder brother."

In the whole world, there are really few people who dare to talk about their relationship with the royal family, so Tang Hua hesitated a little.

The second prince: "A few days ago, the emperor's grandmother even praised you to us, telling us to think of you when we see you. Brother Hua is free today. Why don't we go have a few drinks together. We brothers are also close."

Tang Hua couldn't refuse, so he could only say: "Your Highness, you are too polite. It is reasonable for me to invite the two of you to drink. I don't know where you want to drink?"

"Let's just go to Juxian Building. I heard that Brother Hua often goes there. I guess the food and drinks there should suit your taste."

Tang Hua bit the bullet and responded, "I'm still wearing court clothes, and I invite the two Highnesses, Rong Chen, to change clothes."

Gu Ge smiled, "I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and I just happened to go with you to see him today."

Tanghua went to see Gu Ji, Gu Ji showed a greasy smile to Tanghua, Tanghua's brows were almost wrinkled uncontrollably, it took him a little effort to control his expression

Tang Hua didn't want to go out with them, but had to go out with them, and the delay was ineffective, so he had to let Jiang Pingyuan drive back to the palace, planning to talk about it later.

Tang Hua is not worried about anything else. He is now in the thick of his family, and it is estimated that the two of them would not dare to make up their own minds. However, the disputes in the court are faintly heating up, and Tang Hua is unwilling to have more contact with them, so as not to be misunderstood. I stand in line.

It is estimated that this is the case, the two of them want to win over themselves.

Tanghua knows that he has an advantage that some others do not have, that is, he can make money.

Fighting for the throne also requires funds, and with tens of 10 taels of silver in his hand, there is no one who is not envious.

When King Jingning saw Tang Hua but they had brought them back, he also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and hurriedly saluted the two princes and said hello.

Gu Ge smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, you don't have to be polite, it's me who bothered you."

Tang Hua said: "Father, I will change my clothes first, and I will go out to drink with His Highness and the others later."

King Jingning smiled: "Let's go. You young people should go out and walk around more. Your younger brother is at home. Tell him to go with you later. If you drink too much, he can drive you back."

Tang Hua's heart skipped a beat, "Thank you, Father."

Gu Ji smiled: "Uncle Huang is worrying too much, there is no need for his younger brother to follow, if he is drunk, we will send him back."

King Jingning smiled gently and said: "Only subordinates are sent to Shangfeng, how can Shangfeng send subordinates? This is against the rules. It just so happens that his younger brother is also at home, let him run errands in his spare time, so that he will not cause trouble in the mansion all day long."

Hearing what he said, Gu Ji couldn't refute.

Tang Hua was also afraid of accidents, so he asked Jiang Pingyuan to invite Gu Tanghan.

Gu Tanghan is not very smart, but his personality is filial, which can be regarded as observant. Although he was reluctant, he still came.

Tang Hua said: "Later, you will go up to drink with me, and you will be more understanding at the wine table."

Gu Tanghan glanced at him and muttered, "It's a good thing that I don't think of these troublesome things, and I will be the first to think of me."

Tang Hua blamed him, "What else do you want?"

Gu Tanghan had already been tidied up by him, and he didn't dare to say more, so he stood aside with his mouth pursed.

Not long after, Tanghua took Gu Tanghan and Gu Ji and the others out to Juxian Tower.

This restaurant is average, and the wine is average, and Zhang Hua and the others sat in a box.

After the food and wine were served, Gu Ge raised his glass and said with a smile: "Our brothers have not been close to each other for so many years. This glass of wine is my respect to you. We will have more contacts in the future. Don't be too unfamiliar."

Tang Hua hurriedly toasted and drank, and said in his mouth, "Where is it."

Gu Tanghan also toasted, and Tang Hua hurriedly said: "Second Highness, Fourth Highness, this is my younger brother Gu Tanghan, please take care of your highness in the future."

Gu Ji obviously wanted to talk about some secret things, but who knew that Gu Tanghan came out halfway with a stick, and he ate his meal, but he didn't achieve his goal, and he was so angry that his lungs hurt.

I wasted time, had a meal, and only got some connections. Gu Ge also felt a little regretful, but there was nothing I could do about it, so I had to wait until the next time.

This time, Gu Tanghan was the only one who was very happy in the banquet, and the rest of the people were all smiling on the surface, but depressed on the inside.

Tang Hua drank a lot of wine, rested in the palace at noon, and asked someone to drive back to Zhuangzi as soon as he woke up in the afternoon.

King Jingning came to see him off, "Why are you in such a hurry, it's already afternoon, why don't you just rest in the mansion for a day and rush over there tomorrow morning? Anyway, it's not too late."

"Thank you, father, there is no need. Now we are plowing in the spring. Every day is very important. If you rest in the mansion, you will have to delay for a day and a half. Forget it. I will come back to see you when I am done with this time. "

Seeing that his son's face was full of exhaustion, King Jingning didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder, "You should pay attention to yourself, and tell your father if you have something to say."

At the end, King Jingning lowered his voice, "People like us don't need to get involved in those matters. You should pay attention to yourself and push it if you can. If it really doesn't work, it's also a good idea for you to hide in Zhuangzi. "

Tang Hua solemnly said, "I know, I'm afraid they won't let us go. Brother Han had a drink with them this morning, father, please tell him more, don't let someone take advantage of the loophole."

"Father knows, this king knows it well, don't worry, I'm here."

Tang Hua went back to Zhuangzi, but he didn't shirk it. Now he has to record data every day. He is really busy, and he can't afford to delay.

He didn't feel it when he was alone, but when he went to Ruan Shijie's place at night, he couldn't suppress the grievance in his heart.

Ruan Shijie saw that his complexion was not good, so he stood up and walked to his side, touched his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

The light is good and the atmosphere is gentle, especially the person in front of him is someone that Tanghua had managed to catch up with.

Tang Hua threw himself into his arms, hugged his waist and said in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, I just miss you."

Ruan Shijie smiled and rubbed his hair, "The mouth is so sweet?"

Tang Hua said in a muffled voice, "Well, it's sweet, do you want to try it?"

When talking about love with open-minded people, they are always very straightforward. Even if Ruan Shijie claims to be a gentleman, he is often agitated by the teasing mood and cannot extricate himself.

Since Tanghua invited him, Ruan Shijie naturally wanted to try it.

Unexpectedly, after this taste, the two almost lost control.

Tang Hua supported the table with one hand,
