Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 68 It's Time to Choose the Princess
Emperor Xiao Chenghan in the Zichen Hall of Taiji Palace is reviewing the memorial.After reviewing a memorial, he put down his brush and rubbed his forehead.Beiyan is ready to move again, and the border is going to be rough again.

At this moment, Han Li, the head of internal affairs, walked into the Zichen Hall, bowed and saluted and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Huizhou Mansion."

Xiao Chenghan immediately stood up when he heard it, "Oh, but there is news about the fourth child?"

Han Li bowed and said, "After Prince Jing was poisoned, he was saved by a doctor surnamed Chu. It is said that this doctor Chu had saved Prince Jing before. Afterwards, Doctor Chu returned home, and Prince Jing also followed suit. I quietly went to the Chu family to heal my body, and now I'm well."

Xiao Chenghan laughed loudly when he heard the words, "Okay, okay, okay. The fourth son has finally turned the corner. That Mr. Chu saved my fourth son, and I will reward him heavily. The imperial hospital lacks such a skilled imperial physician. We must let this Dr. Chu work in the Imperial Hospital."

Han Li said: "Your Majesty, this Dr. Chu is not only excellent in medical skills, he also has a lot of skills. This is a secret report from Huizhou Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenghan said, "Hurry up and submit it for me to have a look."

Xiao Chenghan read the secret report after receiving it.

The emperor has spies in every prince's house, always watching the movements of each prince, and Prince Jing's mansion is no exception.

Xiao Yilin also knew that there was someone placed by his father in his mansion, but he couldn't move, so he had to keep it.

And some things that I want my father to know can also be made known to my father through this spy.This way everyone can rest assured of each other.

After reading the secret report, Xiao Chenghan stroked his beard under his chin and pondered for a moment and said: "This doctor Chu is amazing, the waterwheel that was reported in the Hui'an County newspaper before was made by this person, as well as the plow for plowing the land, and the kang, The earth dragons are all made by this person. They are all good things that benefit the country and the people. It seems that this son is a man of great talent.

Several things such as waterwheels, heated kangs, and plows are being promoted in Huizhou Prefecture.This doctor Chu also tried to grow winter wheat. If the trial is successful, the fields around Huizhou Prefecture can grow two crops a year.If this is true, that would be really great news. "

Han Li smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Jing has great fortune. He met a noble person in a critical moment. Not only was he able to heal his body, but he also discovered talents."

Xiao Chenghan carefully read the secret report again and said: "You have people pay close attention to the situation in Prince Jing's mansion, and this doctor Chu should also pay attention. I want to see if this young boy is really capable.

But on this day, the fourth child is still staying at Chu's house. Doesn't that kid not go home when he is old?Want to spend the holidays at someone's home?I think this kid is too happy to leave. "

Han Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that this Mr. Chu is not only good at medicine, but also good at cooking. Every day, the Chu family has a tempting fragrance. Back then, Prince Jing ate a lot of the food cooked by the cook in Prince Jing's mansion. Said that he often vomited after eating, but this situation did not happen when he arrived at Chu's house.

Mr. Chu cooks medicated food for Prince Jing every day, and his body recovers quickly.The old slave thought that this was also the reason why Prince Jing liked to stay in the Chu family. "

Xiao Chenghan nodded and said: "As long as the fourth child can take care of his body well, he is a great achievement, and I will definitely reward him when the time comes. Also, I don't want anyone to block news of Prince Jing and Doctor Chu. Interfering with the fourth child's body cultivation.

Hey, without the intimidation of the fourth child, now Beiyan is ready to move again.Some aristocrats are also dishonest.I need the fourth son, the god of war, to stabilize the court.

They all said that I prefer the fourth son, but among these princes, only the fourth son is the most generous and kind, loving brothers, and wholeheartedly thinking about the country, without those crooked thoughts.Otherwise, you won't be plotted against.

I wish he was a little more ruthless.To achieve great things, it is not enough to be lenient and kind, and to be ruthless when it should be ruthless. "

Han Li said: "I think after this ordeal, Prince Jing will grow up."

Xiao Chenghan said: "When the fourth child is well, it's time to choose a princess for him. At the beginning, he had been fighting at the border, which delayed the marriage. In the end, Beiyan didn't dare to commit another crime and came back. He was plotted and almost died. A sick child, the marriage is delayed again and again.

Now that there is finally good news, I have to start thinking about the candidate for the fourth princess.Han Li, please check with me the situation of women of the right age from some big families in the capital. I must choose a daughter-in-law who is beautiful, intelligent, gentle and considerate for the fourth child. "

Han Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, this old servant will check it out for you soon."

Xiao Chenghan said again: "By the way, you prepare more good things, and then have someone quietly send them to Prince Jing's mansion, and also prepare some rewards for that Young Master Chu. Those who have merit will be rewarded."

Han Li cheerfully went to work.

Xiao Chenghan stood on the steps outside the gate of Zichen Palace and looked in the direction of Yongning Palace, sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He thought of Concubine Shu Yan's attitude towards the fourth child has changed since the fourth child was judged by the imperial physicians to not live to be thirty. Ignore it.

At the beginning, Concubine Shu would ask the fourth child occasionally, but later she didn't even ask.It really hurt the fourth child's heart.

I don't know what kind of face Yan will face the fourth child when the fourth child recovers.

Xiao Chenghan was sincerely grateful to the young genius doctor who was able to cure his son.Today's Jin State still needs the prestige of the Fourth God of War to deter foreign enemies and those young people.

Jing Yi didn't know that she had attracted the attention of the Emperor of Jin, and she was thinking about making pastries now.

Jing Yi thought of toast, biscuits and so on.There is no oven in this era, so she can make a simple bread kiln.

Jing Yi modified and drew the picture, and then prepared the masonry and soil.

She just made a simple, not difficult, bread kiln by herself.Song Yuancheng and Feng Zhi all helped out and built a simple bread kiln in one day.

Xiao Yilin looked around the bakery kiln in the yard, "Jing Yan, you mean it's for making pastries?"

Jing Yi nodded, "After a few days of drying, the kiln can be fired. Then I will make bread for you. Guaranteed to be delicious."

Taking advantage of free labor at home, Jing Yi bought materials and asked Carpenter Wang to make a swing chair for her, and then built a large grape trellis in the yard.The swing chair is installed on the side of the grape trellis, and Jingyi plans to put a set of stone tables and benches under the grape trellis.

Right now the grape trellis is just a shelf, next year Jingyi will go to the mountains to look for wild grapes, and then transplant them to the house after optimizing with abilities.When the grape trellis can provide shade in summer, grapes can still be eaten in autumn.Swinging under the grape trellis is more pleasant.
