The perfect brother-in-law reborn

Chapter 23 Experts and calculations

King Jing has a high status and a high reputation. Normally speaking, Chu Nan would not dare to show humility to accept the gift, but King Jing especially doesn't like his younger generation to flatter him. In the beginning, some people complained about Prince Jing's temperament, but Prince Jing was like a veteran farmer in the palace for decades, now people would suspect that he was only hypocritically showing his integrity.

Although Chu Nan was not very favored in the Chu family, he still knew some secrets of the past. When the first emperor of Liang passed away, King Jing, who was still the prince at the time, supported him and quickly stabilized the situation. The conspicuous fourth prince, Li Heng, proclaimed himself King Jing, and became an old farmer with peace of mind.

Chu Nan secretly looked at the triumphant Prince Jing, but he was under more pressure than facing people like Yang Lie and Chu Yuan. Talking about trivial things.

King Jing warmly greeted Chu Nan to eat edamame. Chu Nan picked up one, but it turned out to be an ordinary soybean. After boiling it in hot water, he pressed his fingers on the pod slightly, and the beans were tender but not astringent, sticky but not waxy. The child slipped into the mouth.This was a very common farm food, but Chu Nanjing and King Jing ate it with great relish.

Chu Nan knew that although the soybeans were inconspicuous, eating them had many benefits for the body, but if they ate too much, they would inevitably suffer from phlegm, stagnation, and coughing.King Jing was getting old and it was not suitable for him to eat too much, so Chu Nan euphemistically talked about the functions of soybeans, emphasizing the many disadvantages of eating too much.

Although what they said were extremely simple truths, Prince Jing had never heard of them, and kept asking for details.Chu Nannai used the descriptions in medical books such as Shennong's Materia Medica and Materia Medica from her previous life to cope with it.

King Jing thought for a while after hearing this, and sighed, "Sure enough, I think I have been studying farming for decades, but I never knew that there are so many sayings about this little soybean." After thinking about it, he smiled and asked Chu Nandao : "Do you know why this king is looking for you?"

Chu Nan didn't know, he stood aside and shook his head, thinking that he had never been in touch with Prince Jing's mansion, so he really couldn't figure out what Prince Jing was thinking.

Prince Jing ordered his servants to clean up the stone table, playing with the taste: "I don't care much about the affairs in Beijing, but I almost know your every move recently. Do you know why?"

Chu Nan lowered his head and thought to himself, could it be that young master, I have been in the limelight this time, and King Jing discovered my talent that I couldn't hide?Hey, do you want to admit it frankly and say out loud that Lao Tzu is a master of the eighth rank! ?Then I thought about it again, um, if Prince Jing wanted to be his backer, who would dare to provoke him in the future?

Chu Nan was about to admit it halfway, when King Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't be shy about not admitting it, this is nothing shameful. If you are forgotten to come to the palace often, this gate will always open to you. open."

Chu Nan murmured, "How did the prince know?"

Prince Jing stood up, greeted her in the distance, and said calmly: "Hey, this girl has to talk about it every day when she comes to my residence, I don't care if I want to know."

It was only then that Chu Nan saw Xianer biting his lip and walking towards this side. Although he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he had never mentioned martial arts in front of Xianer. After all, Xianer knew nothing about these things, so he was about to ask, Prince Jing turned his head and said with a smile: "Every time Xianer comes to the palace to deliver tea, she has to talk to me. Every time this little girl tells me that you are very good at farming, you are an expert in farming, and now It seems that it is not true at all."

Good at farming? ? ! !The master of farming! ! ? ?

Chu Nan was a little sluggish, he couldn't say anything for a long time, and he was 12 depressed.

King Jing looked at Xian'er lovingly, then at the sluggish Chu Nan, and said angrily, "What kind of expression is this? You have to know that the people are the foundation of the country, leading the army to fight can make meritorious deeds, and so can hoeing and farming! If anyone looks down on doing farm work , just look down on this king!"

Chu Nan hurriedly confessed, but lowered his head but couldn't help grinning his teeth. If the news that he was a master farmer spread, er, Chu Nan couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, and he could even see the pale faces of Chu Yuan and Yang Mei, and countless Qing gloated.

At this time, not long after the founding of the country in Daliang, the big families that rose up after the founding of the People’s Republic of China and those left under the flames of war aggressively encroached on land. Fortunately, Daliang was lower than Guang Guang, and the common people did not know how to plant land. However, the fields around the capital were divided up by the royal family and a few relatives. .And once they become tenants, even if those high-ranking big families are killed by mistake, the government will probably turn a blind eye and close one eye, and the status of the so-called masters of farming can be imagined, and even the Daliang Imperial Examination has deleted the agronomy. one subject.

Chu Nan opened his mouth, not to blame Xian'er, let alone explain to the angry King Jing, he looked at Xian'er sadly like a resentful woman, and he became a master of agriculture.

Xian'er timidly stood beside Prince Jing, and said softly, "You...uh, good morning, Young Master Chu."

Xian'er has been familiar with Chu Nan since she was a child. On weekdays, she and Chu Nan get along well with each other, but she doesn't like this in front of outsiders. After all, the two people's identities are very different. If they still call you and me, what Chu Nan said, Xian'er is indispensable. Wearing a hat of being ignorant of etiquette and uneducated is already a big crime for a commoner girl who has not left the cabinet.

Prince Jing frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "Young Master Chu and Second Master Chu, you two are about the same age, and you know each other, don't you usually call them like that?"

Chu Nan could hear it, but most of the dissatisfaction came towards him, and he said with a wry smile: "The prince should calm down, but it's none of my business, and I don't want to."

King Jing of course knows the truth. If Yang Lin or someone from other big families were replaced, it would be hard for others to talk about how to mess around. It's all a thousand miles away, so I don't dare not pay attention.

Chu Nan's heart moved, he shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty, I don't know, Xian'er and I have known each other since we were young, and we are very close, but we have to pretend outside, even so, Xian'er has endured a lot of gossip, hey,,, "

Prince Jing didn't care about world affairs for decades, and he was furious when he heard the words: "Xian'er elves are cute, why do they have to be so polite!"

Chu Nan said sadly: "My lord, you have worked tirelessly to revitalize Daliang's agriculture these years, but you don't know how snobbish those people outside are nowadays. If you meet each other, who would not first compare the family background or the official position of the elders, hey, the world style Under the sun, people's hearts are not old."

King Jing thought for a while, then murmured: "Has the world really become so unbearable? Xian'er has never told this king about this."

Those words naturally added a lot of water. Today's people are close to the people and pay attention to agriculture and mulberry. The life of the people is several times better than that of the previous dynasty, but naturally Chu Nan will not foolishly tell King Jing the truth.

Chu Nan put on a worried look, and said half-truthfully, "My words may be biased, but there is always a basis." He secretly glanced at Prince Jing, pretending not to care, and said, "Xian'er Kind-hearted, smart, and well-behaved, in my opinion, she is no worse than Princess Shu Ning of Prince Heng's Mansion, but it's a pity..."

Prince Jing's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Princess? What's wrong with the princess? I will accept Xian'er as my adopted daughter. From now on, Xian'er will also be the princess. Let me see who dares to despise her."

Chu Nan took a breath, looked at King Jing full of admiration, and said, "My lord is holy, in the future Xian'er will also be the princess, not only will people bully her, but also the lord's many wonderful ideas in farming can be combined with Xian'er." It really kills two birds with one stone.”

Chu Nan talked with King Jing for a long time, but the real protagonist, Xian'er, stood aside blushing, wanting to say something but didn't know how to say it.Chu Nan looked at Xian'er pretending to be dissatisfied, and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing standing there, you still don't pay homage to your adoptive father!"

Just after he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head. When he looked back, it was Prince Jing.

King Jing glared at Chu Nan angrily, and said angrily: "Now Xian'er is the princess, the daughter of this king! No one can teach her a lesson except this king!"

Xian'er couldn't hear Chu Nan's intention of defending, but she still had words in her heart. Seeing King Jing's loving, even vaguely uneasy eyes, she felt soft in her heart, fell to her knees, and said respectfully: "Daughter see pass daddy."

However, this sentence shows Xian'er's ignorance of royal affairs. In this situation, Xian'er should call King Jing her father.But Concubine Jing passed away early, and Prince Jing had only one son, and now he has a clever and well-behaved daughter at the age of half buried. In this form, the ground is damp, and your body is fragile, how can you just kneel!" It is a complaint, but the meaning of caring about maintenance is that even the blind can see it.

Chu Nan pretended to walk forward and back, the princess chief and princess teased Xian'er shortly.King Jing just felt that he had fallen into Chu Nan's trap from the very beginning, but the more he watched Xian'er, who was red-faced and panic-stricken, he liked it more and more. He thought to himself, if I was really tricked by this kid, I hope to be tricked more several times.The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I said loudly: "Make tea for Weifu, make good tea!"
