[Red Mansion] Queen's Road
Chapter 65 The Field (1)
This garden has cost the Jia family a lot of effort. At this time, let people go in and have a look. They are absolutely confident that they can overwhelm most of the gardens in the capital.
The Lin family's father and son didn't have much knowledge in gardens, but they could definitely see that the garden was built in a natural way, full of rich and noble atmosphere, but also a little simple.
Along the way, Lin Ruhai praised him several times sincerely.The garden was not too big to swim all morning, and the group went to the front for dinner.
During the meal, Jia Zheng hesitated to speak several times, but Lin Ruhai pretended not to see him and chatted with Jia Amnesty.
The two old men only talked about their children's affairs, and the most talked about was Lin Hao's marriage.
"My in-law's family has already left for the capital. This time, the in-law's old man brought his granddaughter here in person. I feel sorry in my heart. I packed up a separate courtyard of our family and let them live in it. I didn't expect the old man to be more particular, saying that it was a child. It's not good to marry into our family from our other courtyard, I originally wanted to help them rent a courtyard, but it happened that one of my senior brothers had an idle courtyard, so I just moved my in-laws into it."
Jia Amnesty was drunk, and patted Lin Ruhai's shoulder, "It's time to do things, there are not enough people in the house, brother-in-law just send someone to tell me, I am the child's biological uncle, don't say anything else, I will be with the in-laws when the time comes It can still be done with a glass of wine.”
Lin Ruhai raised his wine glass and toasted Jia She, "Thank you very much."
Jia Amnesty opened his mouth, and Jia Zheng was not far behind, "This is a happy event for our two families. Even if my brother-in-law doesn't tell us, we will go."
Jia Amnesty let out a belch, "I can't do it, I'm a little drunk here, brother-in-law sit down first, excuse me, I'll go back and lie down to sober up."
Lin Ruhai stood up, "Brother, just go back, it's getting late now, and it's time for our fathers to go back, so the two brothers-in-law will leave now."
After speaking, he took his two sons out of Jia's house. Lin Ruhai's health was not good, and he usually traveled in a carriage or a sedan chair. Lin Hao helped Lin Ruhai into the carriage, carried his younger brother to the carriage, and finally squeezed himself into the carriage. went in.
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, "Look, if your eldest uncle wasn't interrupting you today, your second uncle would have to open his mouth to borrow some money."
"That person can't open his mouth. I guess it's either Jia Zhen or my second cousin Lian who said this. They don't think about it. Our family has only been waiting for money for the past two years, except for building this garden for my sister. , and I want to get married, I don't need money for any of these things, even if I have them, I won't lend them."
Lin Jiao asked again, "What if they borrow it from their mother?"
Both Lin Ruhai and Lin Hao had weird faces, and Lin Hao said, "Do they still have that face? Their family still owes our family several 10 taels of silver, and their mother is their creditor. At this time, their family should think that their mother should not ask for this debt, and how dare they borrow money from their mother.
But speaking of it, our two families have already had a bit of trouble because of the money, so they put the idea of borrowing money on our family, and we don't want to borrow it. "
Lin Ruhai said to the eldest son, "This kind of family should not be close friends, but there is no way, their family is close to ours, and you have not entered the officialdom. If there is trouble with their family and they don't look good on each other, when the time comes, you will be an official." Damn, people use this to talk about you, the only way to do it is to slowly alienate yourself."
When Lin Hao heard this, he suddenly remembered something. "A few days ago, I saw my sister's companion running around in the capital, that is He Xun, the second child of the He family, and I found out after asking that my sister swallowed the two Zhuangzis that Rongguo Mansion sold. "
Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded after hearing this, and suddenly recalled the rumors of the past few days, and took a deep breath, "Isn't it your sister who set a trap for your grandparent's family?"
Lin Hao's eyes widened, he thought for a moment in disbelief, and then nodded quickly. "My sister can do this."
Looking left and right, Lin Jiao didn't know what his father and elder brother were talking about, so he hurriedly squeezed between the two of them, "What's the trick? What's the trick, dad and brother told me too."
Lin Ruhai stroked his bun, "Kids don't ask around, don't interrupt when adults are talking, today you didn't do well..."
Lin Jiao pouted, thinking she was being scolded again.
While Lin's father and son were visiting the provincial hospital at Jia's, Linlin put her youngest son, Zou Wu, in front of the Empress Dowager, took Qilin and Bai Ze with the emperor, and went out of the capital to her dowry Zhuangzi.
Linlin was still explaining this Zhuangzi to the emperor in the carriage.
"This Zhuangzi used to be my grandmother's dowry. My grandmother's family didn't have much money at the time, and after a lot of effort, they bought a five-square-meter field near the capital and sent a loyal family to watch it. My grandmother called the man accompanying Fang's family Old Man He.
This old man He is capable. Since he became the head of the village, in the past 20 years, he has changed the world from 5 to 40.My grandfather was very happy at that time and named the two sons of the family. The eldest was named He Gong and the second was named He Xun. "
The emperor became interested, "How did he double the field eight times at once?"
Linlin glanced at him, "What else can I do, the people here have a bad life in those years, there are many thieves, those who have land and property can only sell their land in a hurry or move into the city, or Move somewhere else."
The emperor was silent after hearing this, but after a while, he thought about it again, "That's all in the past, and now there are no bandits under my rule."
After saying this, he lectured Qilin on the side with a straight face, "You have to keep in mind what happened today, if you relax a bit here, you can relax a lot later, and when the time comes, the people will be in dire straits. The country is crumbling, even if you die well, your descendants may not die well. Remember, remember."
Qilin quickly knelt on the carriage and listened to the reprimand.
After finishing the work, he quickly said again, "I would like to follow the instructions."
The emperor pulled his son up and hugged him and sat down beside him, motioning for Linlin to continue, "Didn't you say that your dowry village has 120 hectares? How did the land come from?"
"If such a large piece of land was given to me, I shouldn't continue it. Our family has no shortage of land, but later my father told me about the origin of these fields, and I brought this Zhuangzi to our family. Come."
This time the father and son became more energetic, and they all opened their eyes wide open to listen to Linlin's narration.
"Old man He has been so happy since he was praised by my grandfather. He has worked harder and harder in his work, to what extent... The rest of our family's land was bought from my grandfather's Rongguo Mansion. of.
When my father and mother were discussing marriage, I heard that the eldest aunt in front of me had just passed away, and my second aunt took over the house. Somehow, such a large piece of good land was about to be sold.
When the old man heard that the land next to his own was about to be sold, he was in such a hurry that he ran to our house and begged my grandmother without saying a word. The old man didn't know that my father and my maternal grandfather's family were discussing marriage. .At that time, my grandmother had to take care of my grandfather and propose marriage to my father, so she didn't care about it, so she paid the money for old man He to buy it.
Only after I bought it did I know that I bought the property of my in-laws. Even if my grandmother regrets that the household has been registered at this time, the family has already planted crops on it.
Later, my father and my grandmother kept the secret from my mother as soon as they discussed it. After so many years, even if my mother checked the accounts, she could only find out that it was a field of forty hectares.The other 80 hectares were never recorded.When I got married, my father wanted me to take this Zhuangzi away. I was afraid that my mother would feel uncomfortable if I couldn't hide it in the end. "
Qilin asked on the sidelines, "Don't the people in Rongguo Mansion know who they sold this field to? If Rongguo Mansion knew about it, then grandma would know about it too. How could such a foolish headed family not know how to sell their land?" To whom."
After the emperor heard this, he smiled slightly, put his arms around his son's shoulder and patted, "Your mother didn't finish her sentence...then why did the head of the village rush to buy it? You must know something about the next door." It's tricky, and at that time the old Hou Ye of their family hadn't died yet, I thought that the head of the village dared to intervene in this matter because he relied on his family being the Hou Mansion."
Linlin hugged Bai Ze on one side, shaking her body a few times as the carriage bumped. "Your father is right, this matter can be said in one sentence, that is, there is no such thing as an inside ghost that cannot attract outside thieves.
The master of Rongguo Mansion teamed up with the servants to dispose of the family property, and had already planned to let his own people buy it at a low price, and the family property became his own private property.It was fine, but he was cut off by the old man who killed him halfway. Do you think the master of the Rongguo Mansion will hate the Lin family? "
Qilin suddenly realized, but Bai Ze still didn't understand.Open a pair of big eyes to see father, mother and elder brother.I was in a hurry to pull Linlin's clothes.
Qilin explained to his younger brother, "It's like saying that Zhu Tong next to you wants to steal your things, so he tells you how bad this thing is, so it's better to deal with it as soon as possible. You don't understand this, or you don't know how to get it." heart, he nodded in agreement.
He took this thing out and found someone to buy it at a very low price. After going through a layer of paperwork in the government, you thought this thing was sold for so much money.But in fact, this document and other things are in the hands of your servant, and it will no longer be yours in the future. "
Bai Ze still didn't understand.
Kirin uses specific things as examples. "For example, the queen mother gave you a Zhuangzi, and Zhu Tong's servant told you that the Zhuangzi's harvest was not good and it was difficult to irrigate. It would be better to sell it and get a sum of money. Then I gave you a sum of money and said it was a sale. Zhuangzi’s money. Change the name on the land deed to your own name in the government, and this Zhuangzi belongs to that servant. You have nothing but the little money.”
Bai Ze already understood, "It was Zhu Tong's slave who turned my things into his. I can't say anything about it, because it's legal."
Qilin nodded quickly.
Bai Ze pouted, stood up and lay down on the window of the carriage, opened the curtain, glanced at the little eunuch who was following the carriage outside, snorted and sat back down again.
Linlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your brother just gave you an example, don't take Zhu Tong to vent your anger."
The carriage moved very fast, and after a while it arrived in Zhuangzi.These companions of Linlin are waiting in Zhuangzi.
After the emperor jumped out of the carriage, he asked He Gong, the head of the farm, and Linlin's other companions to lead the way to see the crops growing in the farm.
By the way, the two sons were also taken away.
Last year, a kind of grain was discovered in the southern fleet, but these grains are regarded as fetishes by the locals, and it is very difficult to get them.
The good thing is that this kind of grain grows vines, which can live as long as they are pinched off and planted in the ground.
Some young boys from the fleet secretly pinched some and stuffed them in the team's flower pots and brought them back.After offering it to Linlin, Linlin saw that it was a sweet potato.
Sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes or white potatoes. They have a high survival rate and a very high yield regardless of where they are grown.
So at that time, I planted these things on the side of the road in the Zhuangzi where I married as a dowry. This year, I officially planted them in the field. Now that it is the harvest season, the people in the Zhuangzi dug up an acre of land and were stunned by the output. Report it quickly. For Linlin, Linlin whispered to the emperor again, and the emperor quickly brought his wife and children to see with his own eyes whether the yield of this sweet potato was huge.
There are many tenants living in Linlin's Zhuangzi. Many people don't know who the owner is, and they are only governed by the head of the village. They only heard that the Zhuangzi was married to a girl by the owner, and now the girl and uncle are here.
The men working in the field saw a group of people wearing silk and satin, riding tall horses galloping past on the country road, and they all wondered what the master's family was doing here.
After arriving in the field, the emperor got off his horse and carried his two sons down. Bai Ze saw that there was a large piece of flat land in front of him, with green things planted on it, and he was curious. Seeing a bulging mound of soil, he stretched out his hand and picked it with his fingers. Before he could pick out what was in the soil, he found a fat and ugly green thing lying on the vine.
Out of curiosity, Bai Ze lifted the thing up with his hands, only to feel it was limp...and burst into tears.
The emperor couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you crying? This thing doesn't bite you, it's a bean worm. Take it to the road and play."
"Don't play..." Bai Ze quickly threw the bean worm into the emperor's arms, "I want to hug, hug."
The emperor felt that Bai Ze was more delicate than a princess, but he was his own son after all, so he had to pick him up and let Qilin and the stewards dig sweet potatoes together.
First, all the vines were cut with a sickle, and the ground was full of small mounds. After the iron fork dug around the mounds, several large rhizomes were lifted up at once.
A guard peeled a few sweet potatoes with a pocket knife, put them in his mouth and ate them.
It tasted sweet after the first bite. The guards talked about their feelings while eating, while Qilin swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva while watching.After confirming that it was non-toxic, the guards quickly cut a small piece with a knife and handed it to Qilin. After chewing it, Qilin's eyes lit up, "Dad, it's sweet."
He Gong explained in a low voice, "Grandpa, this kind of sweet potato has been planted for a year last year. It can be boiled, steamed or powdered. In winter, it can be put in the vegetable cellar. It can be planted when it sprouts in spring."
The emperor patted Bai Ze on the back, "Father and your elder brother will go to work in the field in a while, how about digging out a basket and sending it to your mother?"
Bai Ze was reluctant to leave, so Qilin threatened him, "There are bean worms in here, and there will be many, many bean worms in a while..."
Terrified, Bai Ze slid down from the emperor's embrace, "I'm going to deliver the sweet potatoes, and I won't come after I deliver the sweet potatoes."
Many boys accompanying Fang's family expressed their willingness to carry things for the young master.Bai Ze led a group of people away in a mighty way, and the emperor just watched with a straight face at this moment when the sweet potatoes from the one-acre field were dug out.
He stood on the edge of the field and looked at it, silently calculating in his heart that growing sweet potatoes yielded nearly 20 times more harvest than growing rice.
After all, transporting grain from the south is not a long-term solution. The thousands of miles of land is not because the land is not fertile, but because there is a lack of such good seeds.
The emperor has silently started to think in his heart who should be sent to promote this kind of food, and what method and method should be used to make these things known to the common people as soon as possible and willing to plant them.
An inner guard came over and carefully reported, "Master, I have calculated it. The harvest in this place is 22 times that of ordinary rice and wheat. I heard from the tenant farmers here that they have planted some on the riverside and roadside nearby. How about we dig up these places too?"
The emperor nodded, "Go and measure the land with a few people and start digging."
These bodyguards and internal guards changed places like wolves and tigers. When the emperor moved, other stewards followed to the river. Unexpectedly, the harvest by the river was better than that in the field.
Experienced old farmers said that the land in this place is wet, and the harvest is better than that in other places.Those grown in humid places are crispy, but not as soft and glutinous as those grown in dry fields. It's just that the people are looking for a full stomach, and the taste... everyone has their own preferences.
Linlin took Bai Niu and the others to the Zhuangzi, and then they went down for a walk.
Many old women and daughters-in-law in Zhuangzi came out to watch them.These people were sitting on the side of the road, talking and working at the same time. When they saw Linlin and the others, they were all envious of the clothes she was wearing and the jewelry she was wearing on her head.
Old man He has passed away, but his wife, Mrs. He, is still alive.Working in the fields every day, my body is extremely strong, my eyes are not blurred, my ears are not deaf, and my teeth are still there.
"The little master is here, please come inside, little master."
Linlin was not polite to her, she went to the hall first and sat on the seat.
The granddaughter of the He family came out with a tray and brought a large bowl of tea to Linlin.
Just as Linlin picked up the bowl of tea, Mrs. He quickly took out a paper bag from her sleeve, which contained some icing sugar, and poured it into Linlin's tea bowl.
"Little master drinks sweet tea, these frostings are hard to buy."
Old lady He was the only one in the room, but the people standing there were all former servants of the Lin family.
The mothers and sisters-in-law of white girls, black girls, sweet girls, and fragrant girls are all standing in this room.
Seeing the old woman adding sugar to the tea, they went forward together and said, "Your Majesty, don't drink tea yet, it's hot right now, wait a while to catch your breath, and it's not too late to drink it."
Linlin knew what they meant, so she changed the bowl of tea quietly after a while, without hurting the old woman's face, and she didn't have to drink this bowl of tea with sugar anymore.
The He family has worked hard, and four generations of the family have stayed in this village, and the people of this family really put their hearts and souls into planning for the old lady of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai.
Linlin also doesn't want to hurt their hearts, loyal servants are rare.
Pick up the bowl of tea and drink it down, put the tea bowl on the tray, and talk to old lady He, "Good icing, it really quenches your thirst with this bowl of tea."
The old woman immediately became happy, "The little master has come all the way. If you want to eat something, as long as the master says, we can get all the things we can get here. Yesterday these sister-in-laws came over and asked about our family. How was it arranged, I was too busy yesterday not to tell them, in order to let the little master try something new."
After Linlin found out that the old woman had finished speaking, her granddaughter lowered her head in embarrassment.
There is some curiosity, "How did the old people arrange it?"
"I think you have eaten and seen everything in the city, but you may not have seen how this food is made. I invite you to eat at the pot today..."
Before he could finish speaking, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.Bai Niu's mother quickly stood up, "Don't talk, old man, our master is more honorable than others, how can we eat in the kitchen?"
Linlin could still hear a few people complaining that Mrs. He was being foolish.
Linlin felt a little amused, so she called Mrs. He to her side and asked her to sit on the footrest, "Tell me, old man, how do you eat this? Is it possible that I have to wash my hands and make soup myself today?"
The women accompanying Linlin's house did not dare to show their heads at this time.Since she was a child, Linlin looked down on those slaves who rely on meritorious deeds to sell their elders.So there are very few people who can sit in front of her.
Not counting the slaves of those relatives, the maids of the Lin family are currently only honored by old lady He.Although it is only a pedal.
"Master, don't worry, the stove in the house is clean, the wood is burnt, the wood is dried, and there is no smoke. Just now, the old slave asked his daughter-in-law to kill a few big geese. You can sit down At the side of the pot, I invite you to have a stewed goose in an iron pot today."
This way of eating has never been experienced in this life, but I have eaten it several times in my previous life.Not only was Linlin nostalgic, but she immediately asked old lady He with a smile on her face, "I have this meat, what kind of wine is it?"
"The best Huiquan wine has been buried in the ground for more than 20 years. The son of the old slave dug it out yesterday."
Linlin nodded, looking forward to it, "Okay, okay, seeing that the sun has come up, and it's only a short while before dinner, send someone to ask my uncle when they will come back, and we will have dinner when we come back."
The people outside the door promised to go, and the old lady He stood up, insisting on going to the kitchen to watch.After the old man left, Linlin put away the smile on her face and called her companions to her front.
"How did I hear that you guys are fighting with someone recently? What's going on?"
Xiangniu's mother looked at the others, "If you go back to your mother, it's not that we bully others in groups, but those people don't agree with us. Now these companies are all private property of the mother, but some people are cheating on the inside and outside of our company. Flowing water makes people know..."
Linlin sighed, "Who knows about our running water, you know it in your heart, and I know it in your heart. I also understand what you think in your heart.
Speaking of which, these companies were originally based on my dowry money. It is understandable for you to want to let you take care of it. Regardless of whether you have the talent or not, it makes sense for you to manage my property.
But we are doing too much business now, which alarmed my uncle. He is not only a uncle but also an emperor. He buried a few eyeliners in it. You know me and everyone knows it. Don't superfluous. "
Bai Niu's mother gritted her teeth and stood up, "It's not that the servants deliberately wanted to spoil your mother. According to the current rules, these properties of your mother will belong to the three little masters in the future. Yes, the servants are afraid that in the future, the uncle's sons will have a hand in it.
Although the uncle is young now, he can't keep his energy and energy when he gets old in the future. Now his hands will become other people's hands in the future... When these hands take root, ma'am, we will regret it too late. "
Linlin thought for a while, "It's not unreasonable what you said. I can see your heart. It's not a good thing to be the only one big family. Although Yunsheng is now the leader in the cloth industry, there are always some people who are still there. Let's drive cloth. Don't look at these people scattered here and there, when the time comes, it will be another force.
Now that Yunsheng has become a giant, I have long thought of dividing Yunsheng's family.At that time, I will also think of a way, and the family business must be grasped in my hands and passed on to my son in time.I know your heart, and I will not treat you badly if you follow me, but if you have greed or betray the Lord, don't blame me for being rude. "
Monopoly is never a good phenomenon. Linlin feels that at this time, she is in control of the course of this big ship and can still sail to a correct voyage. If this big ship is handed over to other people in the future, it may not be a blessing in the future.
It was time to support Yun Sheng with an opponent.This opponent must also be one's own talent.
Linlin just had an idea that she wanted to implement, and she had to wait for a while.Taking a deep breath, he reunited his several maids of honor with the family members, and thought about other things in the hall.
While Linlin was thinking hard, Bai Ze came back with a group of little boys.
Just now when Bai Ze left, he was all in good condition, but when he came back, his body was covered in dirt and his clothes were torn, but he was very happy.
He hopped over like a monkey and lay on Linlin's lap, "Mother, my son just went to climb a tree and took two bird eggs. I will make omelets later to honor my mother."
Linlin patted the dirt on his clothes, "As long as you have the heart, your omelets are really valuable, and your clothes are useless."
Bai Ze doesn't care about a piece of clothing, he just feels very happy today, although the soybean bug scared him to tears, but he knows who the nemesis of the soybean bug is.
Someone boiled water to wash Bai Ze, and the emperor came back with Qilin and his son.
It just so happened that it was noon at this time, and when it was time to eat, the family entered the stove room. The inside of the stove room was indeed clean, and there was a large stove in the middle, with a large iron pot embedded in it.
The two brothers, Qilin and Baize, had never seen each other before, so they were very curious, and the He family came to light the fire.
He Gong brought a large pot of marinated meat, poured some oil into the pot, put some onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fried it, then poured the meat into it and stir-fried.
After the stir-frying is completed, half a basin of water is poured in.Cover it with a wooden lid.
"Uncle, girl, wait for a while, the slave will go to see if the noodles are ready?"
After the people went out, the two Qilin brothers immediately lay on the pot, secretly opened a little gap, and fell back after being smoked by the hot steam in the pot.
"Mother, stepmother, what is this?"
"Wok, haven't you seen the pot that you usually cook with?"
The brothers shook their heads together.
Seeing the two sons asking questions around their daughter-in-law, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and deliberately demolished Linlin's stage.
"Your queen mother is just talking about it. She has never cooked, and she can't even sew clothes. If you ask her, you are asking the wrong person."
Linlin thought to herself, have you ever cooked or can you sew clothes?
But these two little things know how to protect their mother.
Bai Ze defended his mother, "My mother doesn't need to learn this stuff, if my mother is asked to cook, what do I need those slaves for?"
"That's right." Qilin's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, "The queen mother only needs to sit in the hall and look beautiful. Some of these rough jobs are done by people."
Linlin quickly brought her two sons to her side, and kissed them on the head one by one. "It's not in vain to raise my son so hard. Just because of these two words of yours, my mother will eat two more bowls of rice today."
The emperor answered sourly from the side, "I don't think the two of them are boys now, aren't they shouting and shouting to have a caring little padded jacket?"
Bai Kuo pouted and asked, "What is a little padded jacket?"
The emperor was happy that his son was about to turn against him, "It's your mother who disliked you for not being a princess. She said that only a princess can be caring to her, so it's a caring little padded jacket."
Bai Ze patted Linlin's arm generously, "It's okay, when I have a younger sister, let her be the queen's little padded jacket, and our mother's little cotton trousers."
Linlin was really proud of this, and kissed her two sons one by one again.
Sure enough, it's better to be biological, at this time I regret not bringing Zou Wu here.
Touching the hair of the two sons, "When there is a chance, we will bring your brothers out together."
The two sons nodded foolishly on the side, and the mother and son laughed together.
The family of four returned to the palace at night, and first went to the Empress Dowager to pick up their youngest son.
When I went, the grandparents and grandchildren were eating.When we meet, we sit down and eat together.
Let Linlin tell herself that eating at the Empress Dowager's place is definitely not pleasant.The Queen Mother could not see herself being disrespectful to her son and grandson.
So Linlin filled a bowl of porridge first, handed it to the emperor, and then filled it for the two sons and placed it in front of them.
When eating, you can't take care of yourself first, you must let his grandpa eat delicious food and enjoy it.
There are only a few dinners like this in a year, and Linlin treats it all as acting.
When Qilin and Bai Ze were eating, they inevitably had to tell the Queen Mother what happened today.The two boys happily talked about many things, such as the crops in the field, the cattle and sheep on the roadside, the bird's nest on the tree, the insects in the field... The two people talked happily, and the Queen Mother was so fascinated by it. .
After listening to the two grandsons, the Empress Dowager still had some unfinished business, "I haven't seen it yet."
The two silly boys quickly answered, "We'll tell grandma after we read it."
Linlin glanced at the emperor again, this guy was so busy digging his bread, he didn't see any desire for his old lady.
In the evening, when the two of them changed their clothes and went to bed, Linlin couldn't help but tell him about this matter.
"I see that the queen mother has lived in the palace for a long time, and I want to go outside to see other things."
"Then I will ask tomorrow to see if she wants to go to the West Garden."
After Linlin heard this, she couldn't help but bumping him with her elbow, "What are you going to do in the West Garden? In this palace, we will take the children and live with the Queen Mother, and we can have as much fun as we want. If the Queen comes to the West Garden, There are the Supreme Emperor and the Eastern Empress Dowager on it, and there is a noble concubine next to it, can life be easier?"
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I do have one, can you please listen to me. I see that my mother feels inferior. Why don't I let her go to a place where no one knows him, maybe she can open her heart and talk to him happily.
A few days ago, one of my managers bought a piece of land with money from our firm. It was a small village with a size of only 1200 mu.I thought about honoring this little Zhuangzi to my mother, and she will take the maids to stay for three to five days when she is free.When the time comes, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and you can send some inner guards to follow to ensure the safety of our mother. "
"What you say is fine... I'll ask the queen mother tomorrow."
After the emperor went down the next day, he went to the Empress Dowager.The mother and son talked for a while, and the emperor put forward this suggestion.
"...That Zhuangzi is very close to the capital, and it takes more than half an hour to get there in a carriage after leaving the city. Moreover, there are some kind people around, and there are two relatively large temples. You can go to worship if you want. "
The Empress Dowager was a little moved, but she still had some concerns, "Your father is still in the West Garden. If I run around and make him angry, forget it, and stop walking around."
Speaking of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor felt a little angry in his heart.He didn't show it on his face, but just persuaded the Queen Mother, "You just think too much, my father is now in the West Garden, and he can't think of you, if no one whispers something in his ear, he won't think of you. "
It's okay if you don't say this, but the Queen Mother is even more sad when you say it.
"Forget it, go back, it's settled like this, I won't keep you if I'm eating vegetarian today. You can catch up with your wife for dinner when you go back now."
The emperor was a little surprised. He said it was fine, but why did he drive him away.
He went back and learned his words from Linlin, but Linlin couldn't help it.
"...You shouldn't say that. No matter how bad the father is, he is also the husband of the queen mother. You say this... What will the queen mother think?"
"Didn't I say it out of the blue? It was out of intention. Then what do you say next?"
"I have to do this matter, and I will persuade you."
Linlin hugged Zou Wu to find the Queen Mother, "Zou Wu in our family always wakes up and cries at night. The elderly people in the palace say that this is because the child's soul is unstable. But you also know that the Son of Heaven does not worship ghosts and gods, but only heaven and earth. The daughter-in-law also takes this into consideration...so she came to beg the queen mother."
The Empress Dowager held her little grandson in her arms, and everyone knew that Zou Wu was a man who cried at night.After thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.In the name of going out of the palace to worship the Buddha, I went to the small Zhuangzi.
In order to fear that the Queen Mother would be lonely, the emperor asked Princess Shouchun to accompany her, and the grandparents and grandchildren went out of the palace together.
Princess Shouchun has never been out of the palace a few times to watch, and everything is new.Except for the first two days when I went to the temple with the Empress Dowager Xi, I usually went in and out of Zhuangzi.
All the guards and maids living in this Zhuangzi are now living there.And 1200 mu is not big or small, Princess Shouchun felt boring after playing for a few days.Can't help but want to play in the Zhuangzi next to it.
The Empress Dowager did not agree with her running around, so Princess Shouchun had no choice but to run to the river, holding a fishing net made of silk, squatting on the river bank every day, staring at the wild fish underwater, and saw Just catch it, if you catch it, you will be jumping for joy, if you can't catch it, you will feel uncomfortable for a long time.
Holding up the net again this day, I suddenly saw a piece of clothing floating over from the river.
The guards broke off a branch and fished out the clothes and put them on the weeds beside them.After thinking about it for a while, someone must come to look for it.
Not long after, a girl who was about the same age as Princess Shouchun hurried over along the embankment.
When the girl saw so many people standing by the embankment, she felt a little timid.
After finally seeing an outsider, Princess Shouchun was a little happy,
The Lin family's father and son didn't have much knowledge in gardens, but they could definitely see that the garden was built in a natural way, full of rich and noble atmosphere, but also a little simple.
Along the way, Lin Ruhai praised him several times sincerely.The garden was not too big to swim all morning, and the group went to the front for dinner.
During the meal, Jia Zheng hesitated to speak several times, but Lin Ruhai pretended not to see him and chatted with Jia Amnesty.
The two old men only talked about their children's affairs, and the most talked about was Lin Hao's marriage.
"My in-law's family has already left for the capital. This time, the in-law's old man brought his granddaughter here in person. I feel sorry in my heart. I packed up a separate courtyard of our family and let them live in it. I didn't expect the old man to be more particular, saying that it was a child. It's not good to marry into our family from our other courtyard, I originally wanted to help them rent a courtyard, but it happened that one of my senior brothers had an idle courtyard, so I just moved my in-laws into it."
Jia Amnesty was drunk, and patted Lin Ruhai's shoulder, "It's time to do things, there are not enough people in the house, brother-in-law just send someone to tell me, I am the child's biological uncle, don't say anything else, I will be with the in-laws when the time comes It can still be done with a glass of wine.”
Lin Ruhai raised his wine glass and toasted Jia She, "Thank you very much."
Jia Amnesty opened his mouth, and Jia Zheng was not far behind, "This is a happy event for our two families. Even if my brother-in-law doesn't tell us, we will go."
Jia Amnesty let out a belch, "I can't do it, I'm a little drunk here, brother-in-law sit down first, excuse me, I'll go back and lie down to sober up."
Lin Ruhai stood up, "Brother, just go back, it's getting late now, and it's time for our fathers to go back, so the two brothers-in-law will leave now."
After speaking, he took his two sons out of Jia's house. Lin Ruhai's health was not good, and he usually traveled in a carriage or a sedan chair. Lin Hao helped Lin Ruhai into the carriage, carried his younger brother to the carriage, and finally squeezed himself into the carriage. went in.
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, "Look, if your eldest uncle wasn't interrupting you today, your second uncle would have to open his mouth to borrow some money."
"That person can't open his mouth. I guess it's either Jia Zhen or my second cousin Lian who said this. They don't think about it. Our family has only been waiting for money for the past two years, except for building this garden for my sister. , and I want to get married, I don't need money for any of these things, even if I have them, I won't lend them."
Lin Jiao asked again, "What if they borrow it from their mother?"
Both Lin Ruhai and Lin Hao had weird faces, and Lin Hao said, "Do they still have that face? Their family still owes our family several 10 taels of silver, and their mother is their creditor. At this time, their family should think that their mother should not ask for this debt, and how dare they borrow money from their mother.
But speaking of it, our two families have already had a bit of trouble because of the money, so they put the idea of borrowing money on our family, and we don't want to borrow it. "
Lin Ruhai said to the eldest son, "This kind of family should not be close friends, but there is no way, their family is close to ours, and you have not entered the officialdom. If there is trouble with their family and they don't look good on each other, when the time comes, you will be an official." Damn, people use this to talk about you, the only way to do it is to slowly alienate yourself."
When Lin Hao heard this, he suddenly remembered something. "A few days ago, I saw my sister's companion running around in the capital, that is He Xun, the second child of the He family, and I found out after asking that my sister swallowed the two Zhuangzis that Rongguo Mansion sold. "
Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded after hearing this, and suddenly recalled the rumors of the past few days, and took a deep breath, "Isn't it your sister who set a trap for your grandparent's family?"
Lin Hao's eyes widened, he thought for a moment in disbelief, and then nodded quickly. "My sister can do this."
Looking left and right, Lin Jiao didn't know what his father and elder brother were talking about, so he hurriedly squeezed between the two of them, "What's the trick? What's the trick, dad and brother told me too."
Lin Ruhai stroked his bun, "Kids don't ask around, don't interrupt when adults are talking, today you didn't do well..."
Lin Jiao pouted, thinking she was being scolded again.
While Lin's father and son were visiting the provincial hospital at Jia's, Linlin put her youngest son, Zou Wu, in front of the Empress Dowager, took Qilin and Bai Ze with the emperor, and went out of the capital to her dowry Zhuangzi.
Linlin was still explaining this Zhuangzi to the emperor in the carriage.
"This Zhuangzi used to be my grandmother's dowry. My grandmother's family didn't have much money at the time, and after a lot of effort, they bought a five-square-meter field near the capital and sent a loyal family to watch it. My grandmother called the man accompanying Fang's family Old Man He.
This old man He is capable. Since he became the head of the village, in the past 20 years, he has changed the world from 5 to 40.My grandfather was very happy at that time and named the two sons of the family. The eldest was named He Gong and the second was named He Xun. "
The emperor became interested, "How did he double the field eight times at once?"
Linlin glanced at him, "What else can I do, the people here have a bad life in those years, there are many thieves, those who have land and property can only sell their land in a hurry or move into the city, or Move somewhere else."
The emperor was silent after hearing this, but after a while, he thought about it again, "That's all in the past, and now there are no bandits under my rule."
After saying this, he lectured Qilin on the side with a straight face, "You have to keep in mind what happened today, if you relax a bit here, you can relax a lot later, and when the time comes, the people will be in dire straits. The country is crumbling, even if you die well, your descendants may not die well. Remember, remember."
Qilin quickly knelt on the carriage and listened to the reprimand.
After finishing the work, he quickly said again, "I would like to follow the instructions."
The emperor pulled his son up and hugged him and sat down beside him, motioning for Linlin to continue, "Didn't you say that your dowry village has 120 hectares? How did the land come from?"
"If such a large piece of land was given to me, I shouldn't continue it. Our family has no shortage of land, but later my father told me about the origin of these fields, and I brought this Zhuangzi to our family. Come."
This time the father and son became more energetic, and they all opened their eyes wide open to listen to Linlin's narration.
"Old man He has been so happy since he was praised by my grandfather. He has worked harder and harder in his work, to what extent... The rest of our family's land was bought from my grandfather's Rongguo Mansion. of.
When my father and mother were discussing marriage, I heard that the eldest aunt in front of me had just passed away, and my second aunt took over the house. Somehow, such a large piece of good land was about to be sold.
When the old man heard that the land next to his own was about to be sold, he was in such a hurry that he ran to our house and begged my grandmother without saying a word. The old man didn't know that my father and my maternal grandfather's family were discussing marriage. .At that time, my grandmother had to take care of my grandfather and propose marriage to my father, so she didn't care about it, so she paid the money for old man He to buy it.
Only after I bought it did I know that I bought the property of my in-laws. Even if my grandmother regrets that the household has been registered at this time, the family has already planted crops on it.
Later, my father and my grandmother kept the secret from my mother as soon as they discussed it. After so many years, even if my mother checked the accounts, she could only find out that it was a field of forty hectares.The other 80 hectares were never recorded.When I got married, my father wanted me to take this Zhuangzi away. I was afraid that my mother would feel uncomfortable if I couldn't hide it in the end. "
Qilin asked on the sidelines, "Don't the people in Rongguo Mansion know who they sold this field to? If Rongguo Mansion knew about it, then grandma would know about it too. How could such a foolish headed family not know how to sell their land?" To whom."
After the emperor heard this, he smiled slightly, put his arms around his son's shoulder and patted, "Your mother didn't finish her sentence...then why did the head of the village rush to buy it? You must know something about the next door." It's tricky, and at that time the old Hou Ye of their family hadn't died yet, I thought that the head of the village dared to intervene in this matter because he relied on his family being the Hou Mansion."
Linlin hugged Bai Ze on one side, shaking her body a few times as the carriage bumped. "Your father is right, this matter can be said in one sentence, that is, there is no such thing as an inside ghost that cannot attract outside thieves.
The master of Rongguo Mansion teamed up with the servants to dispose of the family property, and had already planned to let his own people buy it at a low price, and the family property became his own private property.It was fine, but he was cut off by the old man who killed him halfway. Do you think the master of the Rongguo Mansion will hate the Lin family? "
Qilin suddenly realized, but Bai Ze still didn't understand.Open a pair of big eyes to see father, mother and elder brother.I was in a hurry to pull Linlin's clothes.
Qilin explained to his younger brother, "It's like saying that Zhu Tong next to you wants to steal your things, so he tells you how bad this thing is, so it's better to deal with it as soon as possible. You don't understand this, or you don't know how to get it." heart, he nodded in agreement.
He took this thing out and found someone to buy it at a very low price. After going through a layer of paperwork in the government, you thought this thing was sold for so much money.But in fact, this document and other things are in the hands of your servant, and it will no longer be yours in the future. "
Bai Ze still didn't understand.
Kirin uses specific things as examples. "For example, the queen mother gave you a Zhuangzi, and Zhu Tong's servant told you that the Zhuangzi's harvest was not good and it was difficult to irrigate. It would be better to sell it and get a sum of money. Then I gave you a sum of money and said it was a sale. Zhuangzi’s money. Change the name on the land deed to your own name in the government, and this Zhuangzi belongs to that servant. You have nothing but the little money.”
Bai Ze already understood, "It was Zhu Tong's slave who turned my things into his. I can't say anything about it, because it's legal."
Qilin nodded quickly.
Bai Ze pouted, stood up and lay down on the window of the carriage, opened the curtain, glanced at the little eunuch who was following the carriage outside, snorted and sat back down again.
Linlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Your brother just gave you an example, don't take Zhu Tong to vent your anger."
The carriage moved very fast, and after a while it arrived in Zhuangzi.These companions of Linlin are waiting in Zhuangzi.
After the emperor jumped out of the carriage, he asked He Gong, the head of the farm, and Linlin's other companions to lead the way to see the crops growing in the farm.
By the way, the two sons were also taken away.
Last year, a kind of grain was discovered in the southern fleet, but these grains are regarded as fetishes by the locals, and it is very difficult to get them.
The good thing is that this kind of grain grows vines, which can live as long as they are pinched off and planted in the ground.
Some young boys from the fleet secretly pinched some and stuffed them in the team's flower pots and brought them back.After offering it to Linlin, Linlin saw that it was a sweet potato.
Sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes or white potatoes. They have a high survival rate and a very high yield regardless of where they are grown.
So at that time, I planted these things on the side of the road in the Zhuangzi where I married as a dowry. This year, I officially planted them in the field. Now that it is the harvest season, the people in the Zhuangzi dug up an acre of land and were stunned by the output. Report it quickly. For Linlin, Linlin whispered to the emperor again, and the emperor quickly brought his wife and children to see with his own eyes whether the yield of this sweet potato was huge.
There are many tenants living in Linlin's Zhuangzi. Many people don't know who the owner is, and they are only governed by the head of the village. They only heard that the Zhuangzi was married to a girl by the owner, and now the girl and uncle are here.
The men working in the field saw a group of people wearing silk and satin, riding tall horses galloping past on the country road, and they all wondered what the master's family was doing here.
After arriving in the field, the emperor got off his horse and carried his two sons down. Bai Ze saw that there was a large piece of flat land in front of him, with green things planted on it, and he was curious. Seeing a bulging mound of soil, he stretched out his hand and picked it with his fingers. Before he could pick out what was in the soil, he found a fat and ugly green thing lying on the vine.
Out of curiosity, Bai Ze lifted the thing up with his hands, only to feel it was limp...and burst into tears.
The emperor couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you crying? This thing doesn't bite you, it's a bean worm. Take it to the road and play."
"Don't play..." Bai Ze quickly threw the bean worm into the emperor's arms, "I want to hug, hug."
The emperor felt that Bai Ze was more delicate than a princess, but he was his own son after all, so he had to pick him up and let Qilin and the stewards dig sweet potatoes together.
First, all the vines were cut with a sickle, and the ground was full of small mounds. After the iron fork dug around the mounds, several large rhizomes were lifted up at once.
A guard peeled a few sweet potatoes with a pocket knife, put them in his mouth and ate them.
It tasted sweet after the first bite. The guards talked about their feelings while eating, while Qilin swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva while watching.After confirming that it was non-toxic, the guards quickly cut a small piece with a knife and handed it to Qilin. After chewing it, Qilin's eyes lit up, "Dad, it's sweet."
He Gong explained in a low voice, "Grandpa, this kind of sweet potato has been planted for a year last year. It can be boiled, steamed or powdered. In winter, it can be put in the vegetable cellar. It can be planted when it sprouts in spring."
The emperor patted Bai Ze on the back, "Father and your elder brother will go to work in the field in a while, how about digging out a basket and sending it to your mother?"
Bai Ze was reluctant to leave, so Qilin threatened him, "There are bean worms in here, and there will be many, many bean worms in a while..."
Terrified, Bai Ze slid down from the emperor's embrace, "I'm going to deliver the sweet potatoes, and I won't come after I deliver the sweet potatoes."
Many boys accompanying Fang's family expressed their willingness to carry things for the young master.Bai Ze led a group of people away in a mighty way, and the emperor just watched with a straight face at this moment when the sweet potatoes from the one-acre field were dug out.
He stood on the edge of the field and looked at it, silently calculating in his heart that growing sweet potatoes yielded nearly 20 times more harvest than growing rice.
After all, transporting grain from the south is not a long-term solution. The thousands of miles of land is not because the land is not fertile, but because there is a lack of such good seeds.
The emperor has silently started to think in his heart who should be sent to promote this kind of food, and what method and method should be used to make these things known to the common people as soon as possible and willing to plant them.
An inner guard came over and carefully reported, "Master, I have calculated it. The harvest in this place is 22 times that of ordinary rice and wheat. I heard from the tenant farmers here that they have planted some on the riverside and roadside nearby. How about we dig up these places too?"
The emperor nodded, "Go and measure the land with a few people and start digging."
These bodyguards and internal guards changed places like wolves and tigers. When the emperor moved, other stewards followed to the river. Unexpectedly, the harvest by the river was better than that in the field.
Experienced old farmers said that the land in this place is wet, and the harvest is better than that in other places.Those grown in humid places are crispy, but not as soft and glutinous as those grown in dry fields. It's just that the people are looking for a full stomach, and the taste... everyone has their own preferences.
Linlin took Bai Niu and the others to the Zhuangzi, and then they went down for a walk.
Many old women and daughters-in-law in Zhuangzi came out to watch them.These people were sitting on the side of the road, talking and working at the same time. When they saw Linlin and the others, they were all envious of the clothes she was wearing and the jewelry she was wearing on her head.
Old man He has passed away, but his wife, Mrs. He, is still alive.Working in the fields every day, my body is extremely strong, my eyes are not blurred, my ears are not deaf, and my teeth are still there.
"The little master is here, please come inside, little master."
Linlin was not polite to her, she went to the hall first and sat on the seat.
The granddaughter of the He family came out with a tray and brought a large bowl of tea to Linlin.
Just as Linlin picked up the bowl of tea, Mrs. He quickly took out a paper bag from her sleeve, which contained some icing sugar, and poured it into Linlin's tea bowl.
"Little master drinks sweet tea, these frostings are hard to buy."
Old lady He was the only one in the room, but the people standing there were all former servants of the Lin family.
The mothers and sisters-in-law of white girls, black girls, sweet girls, and fragrant girls are all standing in this room.
Seeing the old woman adding sugar to the tea, they went forward together and said, "Your Majesty, don't drink tea yet, it's hot right now, wait a while to catch your breath, and it's not too late to drink it."
Linlin knew what they meant, so she changed the bowl of tea quietly after a while, without hurting the old woman's face, and she didn't have to drink this bowl of tea with sugar anymore.
The He family has worked hard, and four generations of the family have stayed in this village, and the people of this family really put their hearts and souls into planning for the old lady of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai.
Linlin also doesn't want to hurt their hearts, loyal servants are rare.
Pick up the bowl of tea and drink it down, put the tea bowl on the tray, and talk to old lady He, "Good icing, it really quenches your thirst with this bowl of tea."
The old woman immediately became happy, "The little master has come all the way. If you want to eat something, as long as the master says, we can get all the things we can get here. Yesterday these sister-in-laws came over and asked about our family. How was it arranged, I was too busy yesterday not to tell them, in order to let the little master try something new."
After Linlin found out that the old woman had finished speaking, her granddaughter lowered her head in embarrassment.
There is some curiosity, "How did the old people arrange it?"
"I think you have eaten and seen everything in the city, but you may not have seen how this food is made. I invite you to eat at the pot today..."
Before he could finish speaking, the expressions of everyone in the room changed.Bai Niu's mother quickly stood up, "Don't talk, old man, our master is more honorable than others, how can we eat in the kitchen?"
Linlin could still hear a few people complaining that Mrs. He was being foolish.
Linlin felt a little amused, so she called Mrs. He to her side and asked her to sit on the footrest, "Tell me, old man, how do you eat this? Is it possible that I have to wash my hands and make soup myself today?"
The women accompanying Linlin's house did not dare to show their heads at this time.Since she was a child, Linlin looked down on those slaves who rely on meritorious deeds to sell their elders.So there are very few people who can sit in front of her.
Not counting the slaves of those relatives, the maids of the Lin family are currently only honored by old lady He.Although it is only a pedal.
"Master, don't worry, the stove in the house is clean, the wood is burnt, the wood is dried, and there is no smoke. Just now, the old slave asked his daughter-in-law to kill a few big geese. You can sit down At the side of the pot, I invite you to have a stewed goose in an iron pot today."
This way of eating has never been experienced in this life, but I have eaten it several times in my previous life.Not only was Linlin nostalgic, but she immediately asked old lady He with a smile on her face, "I have this meat, what kind of wine is it?"
"The best Huiquan wine has been buried in the ground for more than 20 years. The son of the old slave dug it out yesterday."
Linlin nodded, looking forward to it, "Okay, okay, seeing that the sun has come up, and it's only a short while before dinner, send someone to ask my uncle when they will come back, and we will have dinner when we come back."
The people outside the door promised to go, and the old lady He stood up, insisting on going to the kitchen to watch.After the old man left, Linlin put away the smile on her face and called her companions to her front.
"How did I hear that you guys are fighting with someone recently? What's going on?"
Xiangniu's mother looked at the others, "If you go back to your mother, it's not that we bully others in groups, but those people don't agree with us. Now these companies are all private property of the mother, but some people are cheating on the inside and outside of our company. Flowing water makes people know..."
Linlin sighed, "Who knows about our running water, you know it in your heart, and I know it in your heart. I also understand what you think in your heart.
Speaking of which, these companies were originally based on my dowry money. It is understandable for you to want to let you take care of it. Regardless of whether you have the talent or not, it makes sense for you to manage my property.
But we are doing too much business now, which alarmed my uncle. He is not only a uncle but also an emperor. He buried a few eyeliners in it. You know me and everyone knows it. Don't superfluous. "
Bai Niu's mother gritted her teeth and stood up, "It's not that the servants deliberately wanted to spoil your mother. According to the current rules, these properties of your mother will belong to the three little masters in the future. Yes, the servants are afraid that in the future, the uncle's sons will have a hand in it.
Although the uncle is young now, he can't keep his energy and energy when he gets old in the future. Now his hands will become other people's hands in the future... When these hands take root, ma'am, we will regret it too late. "
Linlin thought for a while, "It's not unreasonable what you said. I can see your heart. It's not a good thing to be the only one big family. Although Yunsheng is now the leader in the cloth industry, there are always some people who are still there. Let's drive cloth. Don't look at these people scattered here and there, when the time comes, it will be another force.
Now that Yunsheng has become a giant, I have long thought of dividing Yunsheng's family.At that time, I will also think of a way, and the family business must be grasped in my hands and passed on to my son in time.I know your heart, and I will not treat you badly if you follow me, but if you have greed or betray the Lord, don't blame me for being rude. "
Monopoly is never a good phenomenon. Linlin feels that at this time, she is in control of the course of this big ship and can still sail to a correct voyage. If this big ship is handed over to other people in the future, it may not be a blessing in the future.
It was time to support Yun Sheng with an opponent.This opponent must also be one's own talent.
Linlin just had an idea that she wanted to implement, and she had to wait for a while.Taking a deep breath, he reunited his several maids of honor with the family members, and thought about other things in the hall.
While Linlin was thinking hard, Bai Ze came back with a group of little boys.
Just now when Bai Ze left, he was all in good condition, but when he came back, his body was covered in dirt and his clothes were torn, but he was very happy.
He hopped over like a monkey and lay on Linlin's lap, "Mother, my son just went to climb a tree and took two bird eggs. I will make omelets later to honor my mother."
Linlin patted the dirt on his clothes, "As long as you have the heart, your omelets are really valuable, and your clothes are useless."
Bai Ze doesn't care about a piece of clothing, he just feels very happy today, although the soybean bug scared him to tears, but he knows who the nemesis of the soybean bug is.
Someone boiled water to wash Bai Ze, and the emperor came back with Qilin and his son.
It just so happened that it was noon at this time, and when it was time to eat, the family entered the stove room. The inside of the stove room was indeed clean, and there was a large stove in the middle, with a large iron pot embedded in it.
The two brothers, Qilin and Baize, had never seen each other before, so they were very curious, and the He family came to light the fire.
He Gong brought a large pot of marinated meat, poured some oil into the pot, put some onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fried it, then poured the meat into it and stir-fried.
After the stir-frying is completed, half a basin of water is poured in.Cover it with a wooden lid.
"Uncle, girl, wait for a while, the slave will go to see if the noodles are ready?"
After the people went out, the two Qilin brothers immediately lay on the pot, secretly opened a little gap, and fell back after being smoked by the hot steam in the pot.
"Mother, stepmother, what is this?"
"Wok, haven't you seen the pot that you usually cook with?"
The brothers shook their heads together.
Seeing the two sons asking questions around their daughter-in-law, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and deliberately demolished Linlin's stage.
"Your queen mother is just talking about it. She has never cooked, and she can't even sew clothes. If you ask her, you are asking the wrong person."
Linlin thought to herself, have you ever cooked or can you sew clothes?
But these two little things know how to protect their mother.
Bai Ze defended his mother, "My mother doesn't need to learn this stuff, if my mother is asked to cook, what do I need those slaves for?"
"That's right." Qilin's mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, "The queen mother only needs to sit in the hall and look beautiful. Some of these rough jobs are done by people."
Linlin quickly brought her two sons to her side, and kissed them on the head one by one. "It's not in vain to raise my son so hard. Just because of these two words of yours, my mother will eat two more bowls of rice today."
The emperor answered sourly from the side, "I don't think the two of them are boys now, aren't they shouting and shouting to have a caring little padded jacket?"
Bai Kuo pouted and asked, "What is a little padded jacket?"
The emperor was happy that his son was about to turn against him, "It's your mother who disliked you for not being a princess. She said that only a princess can be caring to her, so it's a caring little padded jacket."
Bai Ze patted Linlin's arm generously, "It's okay, when I have a younger sister, let her be the queen's little padded jacket, and our mother's little cotton trousers."
Linlin was really proud of this, and kissed her two sons one by one again.
Sure enough, it's better to be biological, at this time I regret not bringing Zou Wu here.
Touching the hair of the two sons, "When there is a chance, we will bring your brothers out together."
The two sons nodded foolishly on the side, and the mother and son laughed together.
The family of four returned to the palace at night, and first went to the Empress Dowager to pick up their youngest son.
When I went, the grandparents and grandchildren were eating.When we meet, we sit down and eat together.
Let Linlin tell herself that eating at the Empress Dowager's place is definitely not pleasant.The Queen Mother could not see herself being disrespectful to her son and grandson.
So Linlin filled a bowl of porridge first, handed it to the emperor, and then filled it for the two sons and placed it in front of them.
When eating, you can't take care of yourself first, you must let his grandpa eat delicious food and enjoy it.
There are only a few dinners like this in a year, and Linlin treats it all as acting.
When Qilin and Bai Ze were eating, they inevitably had to tell the Queen Mother what happened today.The two boys happily talked about many things, such as the crops in the field, the cattle and sheep on the roadside, the bird's nest on the tree, the insects in the field... The two people talked happily, and the Queen Mother was so fascinated by it. .
After listening to the two grandsons, the Empress Dowager still had some unfinished business, "I haven't seen it yet."
The two silly boys quickly answered, "We'll tell grandma after we read it."
Linlin glanced at the emperor again, this guy was so busy digging his bread, he didn't see any desire for his old lady.
In the evening, when the two of them changed their clothes and went to bed, Linlin couldn't help but tell him about this matter.
"I see that the queen mother has lived in the palace for a long time, and I want to go outside to see other things."
"Then I will ask tomorrow to see if she wants to go to the West Garden."
After Linlin heard this, she couldn't help but bumping him with her elbow, "What are you going to do in the West Garden? In this palace, we will take the children and live with the Queen Mother, and we can have as much fun as we want. If the Queen comes to the West Garden, There are the Supreme Emperor and the Eastern Empress Dowager on it, and there is a noble concubine next to it, can life be easier?"
"Do you have any ideas?"
"I do have one, can you please listen to me. I see that my mother feels inferior. Why don't I let her go to a place where no one knows him, maybe she can open her heart and talk to him happily.
A few days ago, one of my managers bought a piece of land with money from our firm. It was a small village with a size of only 1200 mu.I thought about honoring this little Zhuangzi to my mother, and she will take the maids to stay for three to five days when she is free.When the time comes, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and you can send some inner guards to follow to ensure the safety of our mother. "
"What you say is fine... I'll ask the queen mother tomorrow."
After the emperor went down the next day, he went to the Empress Dowager.The mother and son talked for a while, and the emperor put forward this suggestion.
"...That Zhuangzi is very close to the capital, and it takes more than half an hour to get there in a carriage after leaving the city. Moreover, there are some kind people around, and there are two relatively large temples. You can go to worship if you want. "
The Empress Dowager was a little moved, but she still had some concerns, "Your father is still in the West Garden. If I run around and make him angry, forget it, and stop walking around."
Speaking of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor felt a little angry in his heart.He didn't show it on his face, but just persuaded the Queen Mother, "You just think too much, my father is now in the West Garden, and he can't think of you, if no one whispers something in his ear, he won't think of you. "
It's okay if you don't say this, but the Queen Mother is even more sad when you say it.
"Forget it, go back, it's settled like this, I won't keep you if I'm eating vegetarian today. You can catch up with your wife for dinner when you go back now."
The emperor was a little surprised. He said it was fine, but why did he drive him away.
He went back and learned his words from Linlin, but Linlin couldn't help it.
"...You shouldn't say that. No matter how bad the father is, he is also the husband of the queen mother. You say this... What will the queen mother think?"
"Didn't I say it out of the blue? It was out of intention. Then what do you say next?"
"I have to do this matter, and I will persuade you."
Linlin hugged Zou Wu to find the Queen Mother, "Zou Wu in our family always wakes up and cries at night. The elderly people in the palace say that this is because the child's soul is unstable. But you also know that the Son of Heaven does not worship ghosts and gods, but only heaven and earth. The daughter-in-law also takes this into consideration...so she came to beg the queen mother."
The Empress Dowager held her little grandson in her arms, and everyone knew that Zou Wu was a man who cried at night.After thinking for a while, he nodded in agreement.In the name of going out of the palace to worship the Buddha, I went to the small Zhuangzi.
In order to fear that the Queen Mother would be lonely, the emperor asked Princess Shouchun to accompany her, and the grandparents and grandchildren went out of the palace together.
Princess Shouchun has never been out of the palace a few times to watch, and everything is new.Except for the first two days when I went to the temple with the Empress Dowager Xi, I usually went in and out of Zhuangzi.
All the guards and maids living in this Zhuangzi are now living there.And 1200 mu is not big or small, Princess Shouchun felt boring after playing for a few days.Can't help but want to play in the Zhuangzi next to it.
The Empress Dowager did not agree with her running around, so Princess Shouchun had no choice but to run to the river, holding a fishing net made of silk, squatting on the river bank every day, staring at the wild fish underwater, and saw Just catch it, if you catch it, you will be jumping for joy, if you can't catch it, you will feel uncomfortable for a long time.
Holding up the net again this day, I suddenly saw a piece of clothing floating over from the river.
The guards broke off a branch and fished out the clothes and put them on the weeds beside them.After thinking about it for a while, someone must come to look for it.
Not long after, a girl who was about the same age as Princess Shouchun hurried over along the embankment.
When the girl saw so many people standing by the embankment, she felt a little timid.
After finally seeing an outsider, Princess Shouchun was a little happy,
