The little peasant girl of Tianjia is mysterious and sassy

Chapter 20

At this time, a middle-aged man with a refined temperament, who is still handsome and extraordinary, walked into the gazebo: "Zi Yao, what did you say just now that you can't turn the tide?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Changle quickly stuffed the letter into her cuff, then stood up, and said with a smile on her face, "Father, Xia Ya is back?"

Wen Ruiqing nodded: "Well, I knew you were playing the piano here just now when I heard the sound of the piano, so I came over to have a look. What did you say just now that you can't turn the tide?"

"It was Aunt Wuyang who sent me a letter, saying that the maid next to my cousin had been sent away."

A look of disgust flashed across Wen Ruiqing's face when he heard this: "How could she tell a girl like you about such a thing?"

The son of Princess Wuyang's mansion is simply a waste!

"If my aunt doesn't tell me, who can I talk to! Isn't dad going well in the yamen today? Why does he have a bad face?"

Wen Ruiqing's heart warmed when he heard the words, this daughter is as caring as Princess Pingyang, but it's a pity that Pingyang left early, otherwise he would not be just a little Honglu Temple minister now.

He didn't want to be this thankless official for a long time, but he couldn't climb up to the position of minister.

"There was news from the border today that Zhao Guo has been restless again recently."

My daughter is as smart as Princess Pingyang, and because she lost her mother when she was young, she has won the favor of the emperor and the empress dowager. political affairs.

Princess Changle frowned when she heard the words, "Didn't the eldest princess go to Zhao Guo to get married? Why is Zhao Guo still restless?"

"The eldest princess didn't keep the child again this time. It's been several years since a single child was born. Mr. Zhao Guo has something to say about her too! Now that it's the end of the year in a few months, Zhao Guo probably wants to take this opportunity again. I want more tribute. I am worried that Zhao Guo will propose marriage again."

Princess Changle was stunned for a moment: "Marriage? But isn't there no adult princess in the palace?"

The eldest princess and the second princess have all gone to make a kiss, and now the oldest remaining princess is only ten years old.

Wen Ruiqing nodded: "So the selection of the candidate has become the biggest problem. If there is no princess, I guess we will have to find it among the princesses. At that time, the selection of the candidate will fall on the father's head? Tell me, who do you recommend?" , Don’t you offend others? Fortunately, you are deeply favored by the emperor and the queen mother, so don’t worry.”

So, this Honglu Temple Minister is really not a human being!The Minister of Honghe Temple of the Zhao Kingdom is very arrogant in front of him!

The blame is to blame him for being born in the most backward state of Chu.

Princess Changle is indeed not worried about choosing her for marriage.

The queen mother will not agree first.

At this time, Shen Ruolan was holding three bowls of lotus seeds and snow fungus soup, and walked into the pavilion with a smile, "Master, princess, I stewed lotus seeds and snow fungus soup, you guys have a taste."

The two immediately stopped talking.

Wen Ruiqing: "No need, I don't like sweets. I still have business, so I'll go back to the study first."

After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at Shen Ruolan.

This woman is his disgrace, he would have known that he would not have married before, otherwise he would not be a stumbling block to him now.

Lostness flashed across Shen Ruolan's eyes.

Yesterday she saw the princess made lotus seed and snow fungus soup for him, and he was very happy to eat it.

"I like lotus seeds and snow fungus soup the most, thank you Erniang." Princess Changle took it with a smile, took a sip, and said with a satisfied face, "The lotus seeds and snow fungus soup made by Erniang is the best. , my younger brother also likes to eat, Er Niang, you give him a bowl too!"

After Shen Ruolan went to Beijing, she realized that Wen Ruiqing had no choice but to marry the princess, and she became Wen Ruiqing's successor.

Although she was angry and wronged, but the imperial power was above her, she also understood.

And when she just arrived in Beijing, Princess Changle was only two years old, and the eldest son of Yong'an was waiting to be fed. The two younger ones were always crying. on the child.

Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "As long as the Princess likes it, I will send it to the crown prince."

"Well, I want another bowl. It's so delicious!" She took away another bowl of lotus seed fungus soup on the tray, and kept a bowl.

Shen Ruolan smiled, and the disappointment in her heart caused by Wen Ruiqing's indifference subsided a little.

Fortunately, Princess Changle and Prince Pingyang respect her like his own mother, otherwise this life would be impossible.

Shen Ruolan took the remaining bowl of lotus seeds and fungus soup and left.

After her figure disappeared, Princess Changle put away her smile. She took a sip of tea from the tea bowl on the table, rinsed her mouth, and said after she finished, "Mother, pour out these two bowls!"

"Yes, the princess!"

Princess Pingyang touched the letter in his sleeve pocket, and his heart moved.

This married person doesn't necessarily have to be a real princess or princess, right?
It seems that she has to go to the palace tomorrow.

inside the house
After Xing Nong discussed with the village chief how to change the windows of the house, they walked out.

The two stopped talking immediately.

Xing Nong: "."

Gu smiled and said, "Trouble Yang Bin."

"Why is Auntie saying this? Isn't this what it should be?" The village chief waved his hand.

Gu asked Xingqing and Xinghui: "The name on the land deed and house deed is Xing Nong, what do you think?"

"Okay, write about my sister!" the two siblings said in unison.

I bought it with the money my sister earned, so of course I wrote it about my sister.

Gu said to the village head: "Then trouble the village head."

"Why are you being polite!" Village head Gu thought that Mrs. Gu was concerned about Xingqing and Xinghui's situation, so he wrote Xingnong's name.

This is indeed better.

He continued: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the yamen to settle the land deed and house deed."

Villagers don't like to go to the government office to apply for land and house deeds when building houses or opening up wasteland, so that they can avoid paying taxes.

But Village Chief Gu didn't like this. His family's fields and newly opened wasteland were all registered in the yamen.

After discussing everything, Mrs. Gu took a few children home.

The village head's wife gave them a basket of vegetables.

When she got home, when Gu put away her things, she found that there were some dried squid, dried shrimp, dried octopus, seaweed, kelp, etc. under the basket.

Seeing that Xingqing and Xinghui had never seen it before, they asked what it was.

Gu said it one by one.

Before Shen Chongshan went to serve in the army, he was strong, knew martial arts, knew how to read and write, knew a lot, and could earn a lot of money. The Gu family also ate these seafood.

Xing Nong focuses on milk.

With milk, you can make some milk sugar.

Xing Nong said: "Grandma, I want to make some nougat with this milk."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu asked in surprise, "You know how to make nougat?"

"Ah."

Xinghui: "Sister, did you learn from the cook when you were washing dishes in a restaurant? Is the nougat delicious?"

Xing Nong automatically filtered out the question before him, "It's delicious."

Fresh milk is better, Xing Nong made the nougat sugar overnight by the fire of the stove, and prepared breakfast for tomorrow morning by the way.

Throughout the night, this narrow alley is filled with the sweet fragrance of milk frankincense.

It was late at night, in front of the Shen family's mansion, Yao Shi and Shen Mingzhu waited restlessly.

The maid asked non-stop for news at the Yingbin Tower, and then rushed back to the village in the dark.

The servant girl got out of the carriage, hurried into the house, and said excitedly:

"Ma'am, Miss, I asked the shopkeeper of the Yingbin Building, and he said that some customers did indeed miss Jin Zhu."

Both Yao Shi and Shen Mingzhu showed joy on their faces.

Yao Shi: "Then did you say what I said?"

"Back to Madam, I followed Madam's instructions. The shopkeeper said that when we return the gold beads, he will definitely come to thank us in person."

Yao Shi, hearing this, stood up happily: "Haha, good! Now, we really have something to do with the Yingbin Tower!"

Shen Mingzhu was also happy, but, "Why hasn't Dad come back so late?"

"Mingzhu misses her father? Didn't my father come back?" At this time, a middle-aged man with a slightly round figure and handsome appearance strode in.

"Father, you are finally back! Coming back so late makes people so worried!"

"Haha, it's dad's fault, come earlier next time!" Shen Shihua responded with a smile, then sat beside Yao Shi and asked impatiently: "Madam, what did you say just now has something to do with the Yingbin Tower?"
