Chapter 82 Not Returning to the Palace

Outside the window, the light rain is still ticking.

But it was only mid-afternoon, and the weather was gloomy.

Bursts of white smoke wafted from the humble kitchen of the county government office, carrying a faint fragrance.

"My lord, I never thought that you would cook and cook things yourself."

In the kitchen, Zhao Jun had just cut up the bamboo shoots and blanched them.

"You don't know that I can cook, so I didn't cook the hot pot you ate before."

Zhao Jun chatted with her, ready to start chopping the chicken next to him.

She asked the captain to run outside to buy the chicken.

"The hot pot is just to cook raw things. I didn't know you could make soup."

"There are many things you don't know. There is no iron pot here. If I had one, I could make better ones. Unfortunately, I can only cook soup now."

The ingredients are limited, but fortunately, the ingredients are all fresh.

A little bit of salt, ginger and pepper, and the freshest bamboo shoots, the taste is already very delicious.

Add a plate of cold fungus, and the fungus is really delicious no matter how it is made.

Zhao Jun tasted the chopsticks, the taste he had not seen for a long time, and his teeth were about to fall out.

When it was time for dinner, Zhao Jun asked someone to move the table outside the corridor.

Drinking a bowl of hot chicken soup with such light rain is a fairy day.

"Well, my lord, your craftsmanship is really good, it's delicious."

Qingliu couldn't wait to taste it, and found it delicious.

"Drink more if it tastes good."

Zhao Jun himself is also very satisfied.

The two ate and chatted like this until the night was completely dark, and tomorrow was a new day.

In the next few days, Jun Zhao had nothing to do, and all the matters in the field were settled.

When she was free, she felt a little lonely again.

"Qingliu, what date is it today?"

Zhao Jun slumped on the chair, quite a feeling of not knowing what year it is.

"My lord, today is the first day of May." Qing Liu replied to her.

"It's already May, we left the palace in March, two months passed so quickly."

Zhao Jun didn't even feel anything, the time had already moved from the chilly early spring to the warm late spring.

"Yes, two months have passed, my lord, the spring planting in Hanzhong County is basically completed this year, can we plan when to return to the palace?"

Qingliu sat aside and said, she doesn't think there is anything wrong here, but simply misses Xianyang a little bit.

Zhao Jun squinted his eyes and thought.

Go back to Xianyang, and then, back to the palace.

Zhao Jun recalled the majestic city wall.

Flashed through many places, Neishi Mansion, Mohist Workshop, Paper Workshop.

In the end, it was fixed on Ying Zheng's face and the side hall room the night before he left.

"My lord, my lord, what's the matter with you?"

Qingliu shook her sleeve lightly with a loud voice, Zhao Jun was startled suddenly and then he came back to his senses.

"It's nothing, what did you just say?" Zhao Jun turned his head and asked again.

"I just asked my lord when he plans to return to the palace. Do you want to inform lord Wang Deng first?"

Qingliu asked again.

"Wait a little longer, I'm not going back to the palace yet."

Zhao Jun lowered his eyelashes and sighed after thinking about something else.

After Zhao Jun said so, Qingliu stopped asking.

At night, Zhao Jun lay on the bed and thought of what Qingliu had said during the day.

Yes, according to the original plan, it's time to return to the palace soon.

After all, everything I wanted to do this trip has been done.

But he really didn't want to go back to the palace yet, and didn't want to see Ying Zheng again so soon.

Although everything happened last time, she just felt a little weird.

I shouldn't have anything to do with Ying Zheng that goes beyond the relationship between the boss and his subordinates.

She is a person who knows her own mind very well.

Although my heart does have some splashes.

But Zhao Jun knew.

That is just a kind of admiration for the strong, and appreciation for his enlightened character.

I think whoever stays with Ying Zheng for a long time should be conquered by his charisma.

But, it's not liking or love, at least not yet.

Obviously there are so many things still waiting for her to do.

She couldn't allow herself to fall into the love trap that might exist.

So, stay away from that place for now.

After making a decision, Zhao Jun calmed down and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, she revealed her next itinerary decision.

"Not going back to the palace, let's go to Beidi County."

"Northern County?"

Qingliu didn't know why it took only one night, not only did she not return to the palace, but she even ran so far.

She has never been to Beidi County, but she knows that Beidi County is far away, and it takes more than ten days by carriage.

Why did my lord suddenly want to go to Beidi County, Qingliu really didn't know the reason.

"It's like this. Although the spring planting here is over, I'm still developing a kind of cotton seed here. If it can be planted in a large area, the problem of keeping warm will be solved in the future. I have seen the map and Beidi County is quite suitable. So I decided to go and see for myself.”

This is what Zhao Jun thought about last night.

In winter, she thought about planting cotton next year so that everyone can wear cotton clothes.

However, Hanzhong County is obviously not suitable for growing cotton, and all the cash crops are grown here.

When she looked at Qin Guo's hand-painted sheepskin pictures before, she could tell that the Northland was a suitable place.

It just so happens that she wants to hide away now and have serious things to do, which is the best.

There is only more than one month left in the cotton planting season, and it will be too late to plant after May.

So she only has one month to rush to the Northland, and then study cotton planting.

"Oh, that's right. Of course there is no problem with me. I will go wherever my lord goes. But the king, do you want to inform me?"

Qingliu struggled for a while, although it was a bit far away, but since the adults have made the decision, it is certain to go.

"It's to inform him."

Zhao Jun didn't want to hide it from Ying Zheng. If she could hide it from Ying Zheng, she would be arrested by the school captain before she even walked out of Erli.

So I must write a letter to inform him.

The reason for going to the Northland by myself is aboveboard, to solve the problem of keeping warm for the soldiers and people of Qin State.

I believe that a wise gentleman like Ying Zheng will not refuse.

"By the way, do you want to take Wang Taicang this time?" Qingliu asked again.

"No, Wang Deng has old arms and legs, let him go back to Xianyang and take care of the Neishi Mansion."

This trip is far away, Zhao Jun does not intend to take him with him.

"Oh, by the way, and last time, didn't you say that you were going to see Mrs. Dou's daughter get married? If we leave now, we will definitely miss it."

Qingliu didn't forget what she remembered before, and attended the wedding of Lord Dou's daughter on May 21.

She was still very curious about that Miss Dou.

"That's right, I haven't gone to watch the peasants who have been taken care of yet."

Zhao Jun muttered to himself, you have to read this gossip, otherwise you will have to scratch your head.

"In this way, you should go and inform the county magistrate Tan first, and say that we have to leave tomorrow."

"Then go to Hanzhong County tomorrow. Since I have to say hello to the county guard, I will write a letter to the king by the way."

"In this way, even if you can't attend the wedding, you can still take a look at Miss Dou and her husband in advance under the pretext of giving gifts."

Zhao Jun couldn't help laughing while rubbing his chin again and again.

Very good, perfect solution!
