Powerful Minister Buddha-like Sweet Wife - Chapter 66
Liu Tangxi slept well this time.
She got up early the next morning.
Before in Beijing, she got up late, but now she comes to the outskirts of Beijing to be with the Yin family, but she gets up very early.
After simply freshening up, she went to cook for Yin’s.
As soon as the Yin family got up, she saw her daughter bring breakfast over, saying that her daughter had worked hard, but there was a smile on her face and eyes.
After eating, Mother Shao gathered all the people in Zhuangzi and announced the Yin family’s decision.
After the meal, Liu Tangxi went to deal with the matter.
After recognizing people and knowing what everyone does, Liu Tangxi makes people busy.
Next, she left Deputy Manager Zhang, picked up the account book and looked at it.
The more I look at it, the more angry I feel.
Not only is the output of fruit low, but the output of grain is not high.
“Why is the yield per mu so low?” Liu Tangxi asked with frowned.
Guanshi Zhang knew why Guanshi Wang was punished, so he didn’t dare to be careless, so he hurriedly replied in earnest, “I don’t know if I don’t know, our land has always had so much yield per mu.”
Has it been so low? But she remembered that Wei Lao San’s land was a bit higher than this, and it was obviously all good land, and the gap was too big. Not to mention taller than Wei’s third child, at least it should be about the same.
Is it because the output in Beijing is very low?
“Compared with other families?” Liu Tangxi asked calmly.
Guan Shi glanced at Liu Tangxi, and gingerly replied, “It’s a little lower than the one in Ruian Hou’s Mansion next to it, but it’s almost the same as the Jin Wang’s Mansion.”
“Is the Zhuangzi of the Royal Palace also nearby?” Liu Tangxi asked in surprise.
Guan Shi said, “Yes, we are next to King Jin’s Mansion in the east.”
Because of what happened on the way here, Liu Tangxi had some understanding of King Jin. She knew that King Jin stayed in the fief all year round, and only the young son was in the capital. How can a young man take care of so many things?
The Yin family is obviously also a master who doesn’t care about Zhuangzi’s output.
Therefore, both of them are very low.
Hey, the Yin family is not bad for money, and these mundane things have always been ignored.
But you can’t sit and eat the sky, right?
Moreover, why not make the money that can be made, and why not increase the yield of food that can increase?
As the only daughter of the Yin family, she must always consider the future of the Yin family.
The Yin family has only one daughter and no son, and the one who will inherit the Hou Mansion in the future will definitely be the concubine.
The Yin family has always been bad to the concubine, and the master of the concubine does not know how to deal with the Yin clan.
Therefore, she had to let the Yin family save a little more money, which was so confident.
Besides, if you don’t care about these things now, you don’t know if the people below will do more excessive things in the future.
“Who is in charge of the output in the field?” Liu Tangxi asked.
Guanshi Zhang quickly said, “It’s Guanshi Wang’s brother-in-law.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Tangxi had a guess. However, she still wanted to ask a few more questions, lest she was wronged.
“How old?”
“Twenties.”
“So young, he is good at farming?”
“That’s not true. I heard that I have studied for a few years, but I didn’t pass the exam, so I came to the king’s office.”
After hearing this, Liu Tangxi still doesn’t understand.
The most urgent task is to find an old farmer who can cultivate the land.
Her golden fingers can at best make the taste better, but the output cannot be changed. It would be great if the output could be increased while the taste was good.
At this moment, Liu Tangxi suddenly wanted Wei’s third family to enter Beijing.
Wei Lao San’s family is all on duty, and Wei Lao San is also very good at farming. If he is allowed to control the ground, she will be more at ease. However, Wei Laosan is also her father-in-law.
However, she was able to take them over to enjoy the blessing.
There was no rush for this, she had to look at the attitude of the third prince and Liu Yunan to her before making plans.
“You go find a few old farmers who can plant the land, and then find a few fruit farmers.” Liu Tangxi said.
“Yes.”
Although Liu Tangxi only asked a few questions, Guan Shi knew that she was not a foolish person like the Yin clan, and also attached great importance to the output of the field. Therefore, he dare not slack off.
Since you have to manage, you have to check it out.
So, Liu Tangxi, accompanied by the maid, sat in a carriage and looked over the entire village of Zhuangzi.
After reading it, I had to sigh that the entire Zhuangzi is bigger than Weijia Village.
Before suitable old farmers came, Liu Tangxi planned to clean up the inside of the village.
At this time, the capital, the palace.
The story of Liu Tangxi was raging in the capital, and You Di naturally heard some of it.
Thinking that he had suggested that Wei Hanzhou divorce his wife before, Youdi deliberately left Huai Enhou and Wei Hanzhou behind after the early dynasty.
It was natural to comfort Huai Enhou, and he also appreciated many good things from Liu Tangxi.
As for Wei Hanzhou, he changed his previous disgust and praised his integrity.
After the reward, Youdi let Huai Enhou leave, leaving Wei Hanzhou behind.
At the time of the palace exam, Youdi immediately caught Wei Hanzhou with a glance, and thought he was pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, the ministers agreed with him, and they all felt that Wei Hanzhou was a good student, but he was the champion.
Later, he was refuted by Wei Hanzhou at the palace banquet, and he began to dislike Wei Hanzhou.
But now his wife has become a daughter of the Hou Mansion, but You Di thinks that he is a lot pleasing to the eye, much better than the look and dull look of the best.
“Wei Qing’s writing is good. I will see the official book in a while, so please copy it aside.”
“Yes, the emperor.” Wei Hanzhou replied respectfully.
Liu Tangxi quickly received a reward from Emperor You.
Looking at the good things that You Di rewarded, Liu Tangxi was very pleased.
However, after the joy, what she should do is still do.
She saw this Zhuangzi not pleasing to her eyes yesterday.
In such a big Zhuangzi, a lot of useless flowers and plants have grown, and a large part of it is all weeds.
What’s not good about planting something in such a big house?
These corners add up to two acres of land.
If you can grow vegetables, then it will definitely be able to feed the entire Hou Mansion.
However, looking at the elegant appearance of the Yin clan, Liu Tangxi felt that if he turned the entire house into a vegetable garden, it would be inconsistent with the Yin clan’s temperament.
Therefore, Liu Tangxi thought of another way to make more money.
It’s just that I haven’t tried this method before, and I don’t know if it can succeed.
The fruits she touched are very sweet, the food is delicious, and the vegetables grow well, so, what about the flowers?
If she can make flowers grow beautiful, wouldn’t she make more money than fruits and vegetables?
Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi asked the people in the house to remove all the dead flowers and plants, and all the weeds were uprooted, turned over the land, and planted other flowers again.
Not only that, but also found two more flower farmers.
There were originally two flower farmers in Zhuangzi, but as a result, there were four.
She probably only knew what Liu Tangxi was thinking.
When the Yin family saw her planting flowers, she thought she didn’t think the place was good enough, so she opened up a large flower field at home, and privately praised her ability and good taste with Mother Shao.
Even though there are many people in Zhuangzi, it took three days to arrange the yard and plant flowers.
She has touched all these seedlings or seeds, and hopes that they will grow better and survive.
Seeing that there is no waste in the entire Zhuangzi, Liu Tangxi went to cook dinner with satisfaction.
In the past few days, in addition to cleaning up Zhuangzi, Liu Tangxi also listened to the Yin family and Grandma Shao talk a lot about the Hou Mansion and the honors of the capital.
After eating, Liu Tangxi was walking with Yin, but saw a woman coming over with a letter.
“Girl, the concierge said that my uncle has sent you a letter to Jin Wang Shizi.”
Upon hearing Wei Hanzhou’s letter to her, Liu Tangxi smiled immediately, staring at the letter in her mother’s hand with scorching eyes.
Seeing the happy appearance of his daughter, Yin shook his head helplessly, and said to the mother-in-law, “Hurry up and invite the son in for a cup of tea.”
The old woman said, “The elder son may be in a hurry, so he put down the letter and left.”
Yin nodded and asked Grandma Shao, “I remember the king’s Zhuangzi is next to us, right?”
Grandma Shao smiled and said, “Yes, Madam remembered correctly.”
“Tomorrow, let someone send me some fruits and thank you.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Liu Tangxi’s attention had long been on the letter, and he didn’t pay attention to the conversation here.
After I got the letter, I was about to open it, and suddenly thought that there were other people here.
Yin said thoughtfully, “Okay, let’s go back and see, it’s getting dark outside.”
Liu Tangxi smiled and nodded, and after a few words with the Yin family, he went back to his house.
After returning to the house, Liu Tangxi opened the letter.
The content of the letter is as simple as ever.
“Because the husband is healed, don’t worry about the lady. The garlic planted by the lady in the yard has grown garlic seedlings. I don’t know when the lady will return?”
Liu Tangxi raised a big smile on his face, thinking, who cares about your health is really affectionate.
“The garlic sprouts taste very good, you can let Aunt Chen give you scrambled eggs. Although the mother is better, she still needs to rest, I will not go back for the time being. You are honest at home, if you wait for me to go back and find that you are not all day Go home, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
After writing the reply, Liu Tangxi also drew two little figures in the back.
A woman stood with her arms akimbo, and a man knelt among the thorns.
Liu Tangxi slept very well at night, smiling all his dreams.
As for what dreams I had, I didn’t remember everything when I got up the next morning.
Maozheng, the sky was slightly bright, and Liu Tangxi got up.
After freshening up, Liu Tangxi found Guan Shi Zhang.
“You go find two clever young men over here.”
“Yes, girl.”
Liu Tangxi went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Today she plans to make soup dumplings.
This is not what she thought of now, she wanted to do it yesterday, and the pork jelly added to the soup bag is already ready.
The stuffing was being adjusted, at this moment, Guan Shi led the two young men over.
Liu Tangxi’s subordinates kept moving and directly ordered, “You two should go to various places in the capital to find out the prices of vegetables in various markets and write them down.”
After speaking, Liu Tangxi suddenly thought of a little and asked, “By the way, are you literate?”
One nodded and said literacy, the other shook his head in shame.
Liu Tangxi just wanted to change one, and seeing the look on the young man’s face, she couldn’t bear it again.
“If you are illiterate, what is your memory? If you don’t want to record with pen and paper, you can keep it in your head.”
“Small memory is the best.” Xiao Si hurriedly said.
Liu Tangxi thought, this is not an important thing, so he said, “Okay, then you two. Remember, you are not allowed to discuss, remember your own, and I have to ask when you come back. Zhang is in charge, give each of them each Everyone has a penny.”
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two young men shined.
I didn’t expect it to be a beautiful job.
In Zhuangzi, they only have five dollars per month, and they are often detained by the king’s affairs, so they only get three or four dollars.
Liu Tangxi didn’t know what the servants were thinking. She wiped her hands and took out the letter in her arms. After hesitating, she handed it to the illiterate servant.
Being illiterate has the advantage of being illiterate, so you don’t have to worry about others peeking.
“What’s your name?”
“The little one is called Gouliu.”
Leftovers…
Liu Tangxi was startled.
Guanshi Zhang glanced at Liu Tangxi’s face, and immediately reprimanded, “What are you talking about, how can you smear Miss’s ears with such a dirty name.”
The dog shivered with fright.
Dirty name?
How can this be better than a dog egg?
Liu Tangxi glanced at Guan Shi Zhang and said, “It was all taken by my parents. If it’s dirty, don’t scold him.”
The dog left was also a clever one. Hearing Liu Tangxi’s words, he immediately said, “This name was chosen by Guanshi Wang at will. I beg the girl to give it a name.”
Liu Tangxi didn’t want to change the name of someone, but the word “dog” is somewhat heavier than Wei Hanzhou. Moreover, the name is indeed a little more random. Since Guanshi Wang took it, she changed it for him.
What is it called?
Liu Tangxi looked up at the place where the sun rose to the east, and said, “Then you call Dongsheng. Okay?”
The dog left immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him, “Thank you girl for giving her name, and I will be called Dongsheng when I was young.”
“Get up quickly, after you go to the capital, give this letter to Wei Xiu from the Hanlin Academy.”
“Yes, girl.” Dong Sheng responded with a smile.
She had long wanted to understand the price of things clearly, so that she could know it well and wouldn’t be deceived by others. However, it was inevitable that people were sent to investigate early this morning, and it was inevitable that they were a little selfish, and wanted people to pass the letter to Wei Hanzhou by the way.
Liu Tangxi’s cooking speed is very fast, and the soup dumplings are quickly steamed.
At the same time, she started making shrimp dumplings again.
Before the hour, Liu Tangxi had steamed the six-cage soup dumplings and the four-cage shrimp dumplings.
After it was done, Liu Tangxi asked some people to go to the main courtyard.
At this moment, the Yin clan was already up, smelling the scent, swallowed, and smiled and said to Grandma Shao, “You smell it, this smells really fragrant, and I don’t know what else I have made delicious.”
Liu Tangxi smiled and said, “My daughter didn’t do anything, just steamed some steamed buns and dumplings. Mother quickly eat them while it’s hot.”
Soon, the maid opened a cage of soup dumplings and a cage of shrimp dumplings and put them on the table. At the same time, there were dipping sauces on the side.
“Daughter is thinking. Yesterday, Wang Shizi sent a letter to his daughter, and I did more today. I want to send them a thank you gift. I don’t know if it is in compliance?”
Yin laughed, and looked at each other with Mother Shao, joking, “I even forgot about it when you received the letter yesterday.”
Liu Tangxi’s face was reddened.
Grandma Shao smiled and said, “Yesterday Madam said that she would send some fruits and fruits to the world to thank her.”
“Then let me send melons and buns together now.” Yin said.
“Hey, that’s great, I’ll go personally.” Mother Shao said.
“Also.”
“Mother, remember to remind the elder son not to be scalded when eating soup dumplings.” Liu Tangxi said.
She was about to continue talking about how to eat, only to hear Grandma Shao smile and say, “We also have soup dumplings in the capital, and perhaps the girl forgot. But I will definitely talk to the son again in a while.”
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was relieved.
After Grandma Shao left, Liu Tangxi and the Yin family sat down for dinner.
The Yin family has known his daughter’s craftsmanship in the past few days, looking at the soup dumpling in front of him, he picked it up and ate it.
She ate three at a time before stopping, and said with emotion, “Your craft is so good. In his house, has anyone taught you?”
Liu Tangxi shook his head, “No.”
“Yes, his family is so poor, no one can do this.”
Liu Tangxi’s eyes rolled and said, “Xu is born with me. I ate a lot of delicious food with my mother before, but he was too lazy to make it. Now I can make it once I get started. I thought I was at home. Where’s the cook.”
Yin’s face suddenly became serious, “How could it be possible, you are not a cook, but a girl from our Hou Mansion.”
Liu Tangxi smiled, put a steamed bun for the Yin family, and changed the subject, “Mother, eat this, and try the shrimp dumplings. This is the first time for my daughter to make it.”
Hearing this, Yin’s attention really shifted. He picked up the steamed bun and ate it, nodding his head as he ate, and praised his daughter’s craftsmanship.
After eating a few more dumplings and drinking a bowl of egg soup, Yin’s food was full.
According to her appetite, she usually can’t eat so many things, but the food her daughter cooks is really delicious.
She can feel that she has gained weight recently.
However, she became fat when she got older, but when she saw her daughter happy, she was satisfied with everything.
Yin took the veil and wiped his mouth and hands, watching his daughter eat.
Thinking of her daughter’s amnesia now, the Yin family thought for a while and asked, “Xixi, do you still remember the palace?”
In the past few days, she told her daughter a lot of things about the nobles of the capital. It happened that she hadn’t talked about Prince Jin’s Mansion yet, so it happened to be talked about today.
Liu Tangxi raised his head, shook his head, and said, “I don’t have any impression.”
She actually still remembered, but what she remembered was the Palace of Jin in the book, and she couldn’t remember why she remembered it.
Since Yin wanted to say, she just listened.
Yin’s wave of his hand caused everyone in the room to retreat.
“The first emperor had married two queens in total. The first queen had no children, and the second queen gave birth to a son. That son is His Royal Highness King Jin.”
Liu Tangxi was shocked suddenly, feeling that the bun in his mouth instantly became unflavored.
King Jin is the son of the first emperor?
What about the current emperor?
Liu Tangxi had already made up for a great drama in his mind.
Soon, Yin gave her the answer.
“The emperor is the eldest son of the first emperor. When the first emperor passed away, King Jin had just married a concubine. He was still young and had no heirs. The emperor was more than ten years older than King Jin and already had three sons. Moreover, the emperor’s support in the court There are many people. Therefore, the first emperor passed the throne to the eldest son.”
Seeing her daughter stopped eating, Yin gave her another bun.
After putting down his chopsticks, the Yin clan continued, “Later, after the emperor ascended to the throne, the ministers were dissatisfied with him. When the first son of Jin was born, the voice of dissatisfaction with the emperor in the court became more and more faint. Someone began to support King Jin. After a few years, the emperor gave King Jin a fief and sent King Jin to the North.”
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was stunned, and something seemed to pass away in his mind.
“The son stayed in the capital, King Jin and Princess Jin went to the north. In the past few years, the neighboring country had committed crimes. King Jin fought the neighboring country for three years and repelled the neighboring country. Not only that, but also occupied a territory of the neighboring country. , King Jin has more and more soldiers in his hands. The impeachment of King Jin is in the court. Last month, King Jin was recalled to Beijing by the emperor.”
Liu Tangxi stared at the bun in front of him, and swallowed it unconsciously.
She didn’t realize what she had eaten until the hot juice splashed into her mouth.
It was really vomiting or not, nor was it not vomiting, it was so hot that her face flushed and tears fell straight.
Yin was also frightened by her daughter’s reaction, and quickly asked her to vomit.
But Liu Tangxi is used to being economical. There is lean meat in it, which is very expensive, and she is reluctant.
Seeing that she didn’t vomit, Yin hurriedly sent someone to get cold water.
When the cold water was brought over, Liu Tangxi had already eaten the buns in his stomach.
Yin couldn’t help but said, “You kid, why don’t you vomit when you spit it out?”
“It’s too expensive, spit it out and waste it.” Liu Tangxi said honestly.
Hearing this explanation, Yin’s eyes turned red, and he said, “How expensive can it be? Even if a steamed bun is worth a thousand taels, what if it burns you, but the body will suffer.”
Liu Tangxi thought, this steamed bun is worth a penny, she is not willing to vomit, let alone a thousand taels. If it was really worth a thousand taels, she would definitely sell it instead of eating it.
“It’s okay, isn’t it good for my daughter.” Liu Tangxi calmed the Yin family.
The Yin family couldn’t help sighing again, and reprimanded her.
Liu Tangxi responded with a smile and said nothing.
After a while, Mother Shao came back.
“It turns out that both the son and the princess are at the Zhuangzi. I asked a few more questions, saying that it was the son who admired his uncle’s talent. When he went to ask his uncle for questions, the uncle gave him the letter.”
“Well, it’s good if it is delivered. There are still a lot of steamed buns on the stove. They won’t taste good when they are cold, so go eat.” Yin said.
“Hey, thank you madam, thank you girl.”
Liu Tangxi thought, she finally remembered why she was familiar with the name Jin Wang, and why she couldn’t remember it.
She remembered that the King Jin in the book was actually the son of Jin Wang.
When the prince and the third prince struggled most intensely, the prince also participated in it, standing on the prince’s side, fighting the third prince.
It is a pity that the purpose of the prince is to ascend the throne by himself. This was pierced by the three princes and the heroine, and the alliance between the prince and the prince was instantly disintegrated.
The reason why the prince was able to become the prince was that his father, King Jin, the only son of the first emperor, was assassinated on his way to Beijing.
In other words, what the guard said before his death that day was not a lie, he really poisoned King Jin.
If King Jin drank the tea, the guard would take out the knife before he was ready, and he would surely be stabbed to death.
So, she saved King Jin invisibly?
Thinking of the father and daughter she saw on the way to Beijing, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt so miraculous.
“Mother, how is the power of King Jin now?” Liu Tangxi asked in a low voice.
Yin frowned slightly, wondering what his daughter meant.
“Compared with the prince and the third prince?” Liu Tangxi asked again.
The Yin clan laughed and said, “The king holds a heavy hand, and the prince and the third prince are just fledglings. How can you compare with this one?”
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi’s heartbeat began to accelerate.
She is, what a powerful person has been saved. ,,,
