Chapter 146 Mu Ai's Heart
After two days of busy work, all the greenhouses were built. After two days of attention, I found that silk oilcloths are not as effective in insulating as white gauze oilcloths, and their light transmission is not as good as white gauze oilcloths, silk oilcloths, etc. The price of silk is also higher than that of fine white yarn, so Qin Zhao asked Li Huaidan to stop white silk and white silk, and focus on making white yarn oilcloth.

Until all the fine white yarn sent from the warehouse was made into oilcloth, and there were still some leftovers after using the bamboo frames that had been erected. Seeds are easy to get, and you can send them just by talking to the village. Qin Zhao asked Qin Lei to lead the servants to find some other bamboos, and asked Yunshang to find another suitable place, and built two more bamboos. The greenhouses are all planted with vegetarian vegetables.

After finishing all the work, four or five days have passed.Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and told Yunshang to ignore other things and only take care of the vegetables grown in the greenhouse.She wanted to go to her Zhuangzi to have a look.This side is planning to let Yun want to pack up, and Zisu will go to the outer courtyard to arrange a carriage. Li Huaida will see you.

After finishing the oilcloth, Li Huaida couldn't stay in Fucui Pavilion any longer, but he was worried about his daughter Xiaoqiu, so he proposed to take Xiaoqiu to stay at his house for two days, and waited for Qin Zhao to arrange his affairs here. You can take office.It has been two or three days since Xiaoqiu came in. Although Li Huaida only opened an umbrella shop in the past, he dotes on his three-year-old daughter Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu is white and fat. Don't be afraid, Qin Zhao remembered that his own mother died when he was three years old, so he felt some sympathy for Xiaoqiu, and Xiaoqiu was born with ice and snow. Xiang, Qin Zhao loves Wu and Wu, so he can't help but feel a little more pain for Xiaoqiu.

Ever since Xiaoqiu entered the Fucui Pavilion, Qin Zhao asked Yunyi to take care of her. This little girl is very clever, with a small mouth and a sweet voice. When she catches anyone, she calls her elder sister. His heart has melted, so not only Yun Yi, who was in charge of taking care of her, felt pain in his heart when she let her go, even Zi Su Yun wanted to coax her in different ways, as long as there was anything delicious, he would give it first This little girl kept a share, and in just a few days, Xiaoqiu became the No. 1 child in Fucui Pavilion besides Qin Zhao.

When Qin Zhao heard that Li Huaida was going to pick up Xiaoqiu, he said, "My mother-in-law will pack up the things in your house. I know you want to spend a few more days with Xiaoqiu. It's the same wherever you are. I just want to go to my house." You are going to go there in the future, why not take Xiao Qiu with me this time. This way you can spend a few more days with Xiao Qiu, and we might as well discuss business matters. Yi Ying You can just bring your clothes and change them yourself, the maids in Xiaoqiu’s yard helped Xiaoqiu to come out these days, so you don’t need to prepare them.”

When Li Huaida heard this, he said: "Since this is the case, let the two apprentices of the villain go along with them, and they will be on the Zhuangzi from left to right, so that it will save you from going back and forth. Besides, if the princess is going to make oilcloth a few years ago , we'd better prepare earlier."

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "It's not bad to go and have a look, as long as the tarpaulins for the warm shed are all ready, I still need your help here, go to Yuanzhuang, you have to come back with us, you can come back after you're done." It’s not too late to go to the village, and then I can ask the manager of the village, Mr. Li, to help you with the arrangement of food and lodging.”

Qin Zhao asked Li Huaida for the oilcloth to be used for the windows in the tea shop, and she had asked Counselor Xiao Qin to help pick out the best plain silk cloth for use two days earlier.

Qin Zhao went this time because he wanted to follow what he told Princess Jinyang last time, and discussed with Li Da, the steward of the village, to find a suitable land for planting rice and return her pumpkins and sweet potatoes. , and the other thing is the current warm shed. I have to discuss with Li Da, choose some land, and plant greenhouse vegetables. Now there is still a month before the Spring Festival. Maybe I can collect a batch before the holiday. Small white cabbage and spinach, even sprouts, can be grown in a large area. If these are sold in the capital, why worry about no way out?
At this moment, she doesn't have to be the same as when she was in Zhujiazhuang, and she doesn't have to look forward and backward when doing something, for fear of committing crimes.Now she is the Princess of Fuling in the Kingdom of David. She is a princess of two hundred towns, and behind her are some of the most powerful families in the Kingdom of David. As long as she is not out of her wits, she will not come to provoke her.

Therefore, as long as it endangers the country and society, violates the laws of David, and does not affect the interests of various families and break the existing balance, no matter how arrogant she is, it will be fine.

After sending you scoundrel to prepare for him and his two apprentices, Yun Yi led the little ball into the house.

Xiaoqiu followed Yunyi for the past two days, and learned some etiquette. Wearing a red padded jacket trimmed with white rabbit fur, holding a chubby little body, he saluted Qin Zhao in a respectful manner, and said in a milky voice: " Little Qiuer has seen the princess."

Qin Zhao smiled and beckoned to her, and Xiaoqiu ran to Qin Zhao's side with short legs, three steps at a time, Qin Zhao took her hand and asked with a smile : "Xiaoqiu, tomorrow afternoon, let's go to the Zhuangzi in the countryside to play, shall we?"

Thinking about the endless sweet snacks here, Xiaoqiu hesitated: "Are there sweet jujube cakes in the country village?"

Look at this good-for-nothing child, Yuanzi who is far away in Zhujiazhuang bought her without asking for a jujube cake. Qin Zhao scratched her nose and said, "There is something better than jujube cake, let's talk about those made by women." It's not delicious either, if you go with me, I'll make something more delicious for you."

Xiao Qiu was obviously tempted, but after thinking about it, he shook his head: "Xiao Qiu will not leave Daddy."

Qin Zhao felt sour, and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoqiu's father will also go together, and Xiaoqiu's father will not be busy at that time, and he can hold Xiaoqiu for a walk on the Zhuangzi all day. There are many birds and cats on the Zhuangzi. , dog, when Xiaoqiu wants to eat chickens and ducks, let’s catch and kill one, and cook it in soy sauce for Xiaoqiu to eat, how about it?”

Where does Xiaoqiu know what braised sauce is?But chickens and ducks are delicious, but she knows that, and also heard that her father is also there, and he can still hug her every day, how could she not want to?Even if there is no food, he still wants to follow, so he nodded repeatedly: "Go, little ball, go, little ball."

Qin Zhao kissed her with a smile, and told Yun Yi to take away the two sets of cotton clothes that Xiao Qiu had chased away.

Since he wanted to go out, he naturally had to talk to Jinyang and the old concubine, so he went to Rongshouju.

When the old concubine heard that she was going to the farm, she wondered: "I heard that you turned the Fucui Pavilion into a vegetable garden? Why do you want to go to the farm now? It's a cold day, where is the farm?" Can it compare with Fuli? What if it is frozen?"

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "I told my aunt last time, and there is nothing to do if I stay at home. When Manager Li from the village came to deliver the New Year's goods, he said that he wanted to try planting some rice in the next spring. I thought This idea is not bad, besides, the greenhouse has been tried in the past few days, and it should be able to grow some vegetables in winter. That's why I wanted to take a look. Besides, Zhuangzi is only 50 miles away from the city, and the commute is extremely cheap. You can come back in two or three days. It doesn't take much time. As for whether it is cold or not, I usually follow Luo Grandpa practices martial arts, why is he afraid of the cold air?"

Seeing that she really wanted to go, the old concubine really wanted to go, and besides, she had already told Jinyang, Jinyang didn't stop her, and she couldn't stop herself, so she said: "In a few days, it will be the New Year's Eve , I need to come back earlier. The village is poor, and the weather is extremely cold, so I have to prepare everything I need. If I am sick, I will not rely on it."

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Don't worry, grandma, Azhao has all the things prepared, so I will suffer myself."

After talking a few words with the old concubine, he went to Jinyang.He also told about going to the farm, because he heard that he would leave in the afternoon, Jin Yang could not help but give some advice, and said that he would send guards to follow, but Qin Zhao declined.With Qin and the four of them following, why worry?Wearing the guard of honor of her princess, and at the feet of the emperor, what danger can there be?Furthermore, even if she herself is not a master, idlers can't get close to her.Furthermore, if you bring too many people, it will be troublesome how to arrange them when you arrive at the farm.

Seeing her persistence, Jin Yang thought that there was no real danger, so he had no choice but to give up.

After bidding farewell to Jinyang, Qin Zhao returned to Fucui Pavilion, and heard Yun Xiang report that all the necessary things for the trip were ready, and he could start the journey only after lunch.Even if the car is slower, you will be able to reach the farm before dusk.

Because there is still some time before lunch, there are still a lot of pumpkins. The pumpkins only need to leave seeds, and the melons are edible. Although this thing eats too much food, it has the effect of beautifying and anti-aging. After cleaning her hands, she went to the kitchen and asked someone to fetch two pumpkins. Seeing her going to the kitchen, Xiao Qiu stopped playing with Yun Yi and followed Qin Zhao to the kitchen.

Time is limited, and I can't do anything special. According to the last time, I steamed a pumpkin rice, but I wanted to honor the old concubine. I also made some pumpkin cakes and cooked pumpkin soup, and sent them to Jinyang, Changning, and Yixing. go.

While doing kitchen work, while looking at the pumpkin, thinking of the story of Cinderella, he told the little ball children's stories for a while.Who knows that Xiaoqiu is not affected by Cinderella, she curled her lips and said: "Princess, you are lying, this gourd has no wheels, and it is too small to sit on. And my dad said, apart from birds, everything is Those who can’t fly, neither can gourds. That Cinderella’s stepmother and sisters are all bad, but Cinderella is useless, my father said, people must be self-reliant, if they are bullied, they have to return it themselves. Princes ...but who is the prince?"

Yo, although the little girl has no imagination, she still has the spirit of rebellion. It's just a creature like a prince. Oh, it's better for the little girl not to know, so that she won't feel like being poisoned by Grandma Qiongyao in the future, full of love. Unrealistic fantasies, as expected, fairy tales are not suitable for living in David. Look, a little girl over three years old knows doubts.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Xiaoqiu is right. As for the prince, what is it? The prince is like the sun in the sky that day. It looks good, but it cannot be approached."

"The sun in the sky? Isn't that like a fireball, people will die if they get close to it?"

"Yes, so you can't get close." Qin Zhao smiled.

After the food was ready, he took pumpkin cakes for Xiaoqiu to eat, and then sent pumpkin steamed rice, soup and cakes to Rongbangju and Yulanyuan. Qin Zhao also washed his hands, opened it and went back to the house. dinner.

Yun Yi took the ball and went down. Yun Chang was helping Qin Zhao clean his hands and face when he saw Zi Su hurried into the house and said, "Princess, Luo Guogong sent a guard named Zuo Jinghong to see you."

Zuo Jinghong?Qin Zhao has seen almost all of Luo Che's personal guards, but he has never heard of a man named Zuo Jinghong.

Qin Zhao was puzzled, and when he wanted to ask, Zisu told Yun Yi to back out first, and said, "It's Shan Xiaoying, and I don't know why he gave Zuo Jinghong's name."

Hearing that it was Shan Xiaoying, Qin Zhao was in a good mood, and for some reason, he felt very close to Shan Xiaoying.After being busy these days, I forgot about him.He is his own salary, so he should follow him. I don't know why Grandpa Luo left him in the village for so many days.

She intuitively felt that Shan Xiaoying was not simple, and she didn't know what kind of person he was, but she had a keen feeling that Shan Xiaoying had no malice towards her. Treating myself, but there is an indescribable gentle accommodation.

She is also a fan of her own authorities, never noticing that Shan Xiaoying's eyes are exactly the same as her pair of phoenix eyes.

"Where are people?" Qin Zhao asked.

"Still in the front yard."

If Luo Guoye sent to see her, it would not be suitable to meet her in his courtyard. After all, she is a young lady, but Shan Xiaoying is still an employee hired by himself. Although the priest is not a slave, he is a person who obeys his orders, so Please come to your own courtyard and there will be nothing.

"Invite him to the Fucui Pavilion. In addition, you go and talk to Counselor Xiaoqin, and say that this person is an enshrinement invited by me. Duke Luo has a good eye, so there is no problem with him. He is counted on me, and there is no need for the palace to pay for the expenses. , just transfer it from my account. I will report this matter to Her Royal Highness the Princess after I return home from Zhuangzi. Also, since he calls himself Zuo Jinghong, you and Yunshang have met him before. , Turn around and tell Yun Shang, stop calling him Shan Xiaoying, this matter...you just pretend that you have never seen him before."

Qin Zhao ordered.

Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?Zisu hesitated for a moment, after all, the Princess is not yet 12 years old.There is no reason to ask for offerings alone, and Shan Xiaoying's monthly money is still paid by herself alone, and she does not take money from the palace.

But after thinking about it, the princess also said that the man was approved by Luo Guogong, so there is no problem.That being the case, wouldn't it be better to simply talk about Luo Guogong's guards?Luo Guogong doesn't care about the monthly rules of a guard, and it will save Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang from feeling uncomfortable.Besides, since he was in charge of guarding the princess in the palace, he was sent by Duke Luo, and Her Royal Highness would not let Shan Xiaoying's monthly payment be paid by the Duke of Yue.In the final analysis, it is not appropriate for the princess to pay the monthly fee for the offering.But in the name of Old Duke Luo, it's different.

"Brother Shan has been living in the Luo family's manor, and these days he was left on the manor by Luo Guogong and his old man. This time, he said that he came to see you on the order of the old man, so why not just say that Brother Shan is sent by Luo Guogong?" Wouldn't it be better to come to see Princess Gu than to say that you asked for the salary yourself?" Yun Xiang suggested.

Qin Zhao thought so too.

Although she went to report to Jinyang that she had asked for a salary, Jinyang might not object, but what she thought in her heart was unknown.She can afford Shan Xiaoying's expenses, but under the banner of Grandpa Luo, Shan Xiaoying will follow her in the palace in the future, and she will also be an independent existence not under the jurisdiction of the palace.Besides, it was a gift from the elders that Roche sent someone to take care of her, and no one else could say anything.Even if in the future Qin Huaiyong brings his wife and children back to the mansion, and wants to intervene in her courtyard's personnel affairs in the name of an elder, while Shan Xiaoying uses Roche's guise, no one else can control him.

"That's a good idea," Qin Zhao said with a smile, "Just say that Shan Xiaoying is my guard sent by Luo Guogong, don't need to say anything else, go to the front yard and invite someone in."

Zisu answered "Yes" with a smile, and Qin Zhao boasted, "You're such a smart girl."

Zisu pursed her lips, Princess Xindao, you are the real little girl yourself, but the youngest, Yunyi, is also two or three years older than you, so you call us girl all day long.

When Yun Xiang brought Shan Xiaoying to see him, Qin Zhao went downstairs to greet him personally. He was very happy to see Shan Xiaoying, but Yun Xiang's face was red. Qin Zhao was a little puzzled, but it was not the time to ask questions, so he After dismissing Yun Xiang for tea, he first asked Duke Luo how he was, and then asked him what he had been doing in the past few days at the Luo family's Zhuangzi.

Shan Xiaoying smiled and said: "It's nothing. I just went hunting with the Duke for two days, and learned martial arts with the Duke twice. Because Luo Jingnian, the young master of the Duke of Yue's mansion, returned to the mansion, and The new year is approaching, the Duke's Mansion sent people to pick up the Duke back to the mansion, so I returned to the capital with the Duke. The Duke was worried about the princess, so he asked me to come and visit the princess first. If the princess has nothing to do What I said to the Duke of the country, I will stay with the princess as an errand. However, the Duke of the country said that the princess please make offerings, which is not in line with the etiquette. I only said that I was sent by the princess. Come to the princess' side, and be responsible for the guard of the princess' safety."

When he was in the Zhuangzi of the Luo family, he always called himself a "little man", but this time he called himself "the next". Qin Zhao glanced at Shan Xiaoying, but saw his handsome and picturesque face, calm and calm .

Qin Zhao intuitively felt that Luo Che's keeping him in the village must not be a random move.Or, what did Grandpa Luo notice?But since she can send him to her side, she has nothing to worry about.

"Grandpa Luo is very thoughtful, it's just the guards...you really wronged Brother Shan," Qin Zhao said with a smile, "By the way, it's a good thing that you came here by chance. If you come in the afternoon, you may not be able to meet me."

"The Princess is going out?" Shan Xiaoying wondered.She is an 11-year-old little girl, she just follows Yue Guogong, why is she still running around after returning to the palace?Is this to go out as a guest with the elders in the mansion?
Along the way, he saw that although Fucui Pavilion is located in a very remote place in the palace, it has a good view. When he entered the mansion, the concierge was very polite when he heard that the Duke of Yue State had sent him to visit Fuling County, and his attitude was also respectful. Not at all contemptuous, he guessed, if it wasn't the title of Lord Yue, then Qin Zhao was very important in the palace. If it was the latter, then what Uncle Luo said before, Qin Zhao's situation is not what he thought , what is going on?

And if she can come and go freely in the palace, it is not something that a so-called princess who is underestimated can do.

Let's take a look.

"I want to go out. I have a restaurant in Zhuangzi, which is only about [-] miles away from the capital. Because last time when the manager of the village came to deliver the New Year's goods, I met him once. The manager wanted to try planting southern rice in the village. , I think the idea is good. I reported it to Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness did not object, so I wanted to go to the manor to have a look, but I was busy with other things a few days ago, so I couldn't make it. I finally got some time these two days, If you don't go to see it again, during the New Year's Eve, I'm afraid there will be a lot of time to socialize with the elders, so you may not be able to go. So I plan to go and see it today, everything is packed, and the car is ready. , Brother Shan, why don't you go around with me? Brother Shan came from the land of Lingnan, which is a rice production area, maybe Brother Shan can give some advice."

Shan Xiaoying really doesn't understand anything about farming. After hearing this, she could only smile apologetically: "I really don't understand farming."

He smiled because he was a little embarrassed, but it turned out that the sun was shining through the clouds, and the spring moon was blooming. Even Qin Zhao couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw it.People in the heart say that Luo Jingnian is the most beautiful man in David, but he doesn't know how handsome he is compared to Shan Xiaoying.Brother Shu Minglang, who is also known as Chang'an Shuangjie with Luo Jingnian, has an outstanding temperament, and he can truly be regarded as the four characters of "gentle and moist as jade". When it comes to appearance, he is no more than a middle-aged posture.But I don't know what kind of demeanor Luo Jingnian is.From her point of view, no matter how good Luo Jingnian is, he might not be able to win against Shan Xiaoying.It's because even though this kid is dressed in common clothes, he can't hide his extraordinary beauty.

Not only Qin Zhao stared blankly for a moment, but Yun Yi brought some tea into the room, saw Shan Xiaoying sitting there smiling, but also forgot where he was.The hand holding the tea tray was also loosened unconsciously, Qin Zhao and Shan Xiaoying both heard a crackling sound, turned their heads and saw Yun Yi's face flushed, standing there at a loss.

"County... Princess, servant, servant..."

This girl is usually very smart, what's wrong today?Qin Zhao was wondering, when he saw Yun Yi with his head down, but his eyes could not help but glance at Shan Xiaoying.

Is this the little girl yearning for the beautiful boy?

Thinking of this, I can't help but say, not to mention Yun Yi, even when Zisu and Yun Shang saw Shan Xiaoying, they were extremely uncomfortable. As long as he was around, those two girls would be awkward, and I wanted to avoid it, but I was reluctant to leave.It's just that the two girls have gained some insight after spending more time with her, so they won't lose their composure like Yun Yi.

Everyone has a love of beauty, not to mention that this little eagle is too handsome, if he is really only a fourteen or fifteen year old girl, I'm afraid I will look at him in a daze.Yun Yi's reaction like this was nothing, Qin Zhao gave Shan Xiaoying a playful look, and seeing her playful smile, this guy even put on an innocent and indifferent look, and looked back.

It is probably because this kind of situation has been encountered so often that I don't care about it at all.Qin Zhao rolled his eyes at him, Shan Xiaoying raised his eyebrows, and gave her a frightened look of "it's not my fault". Qin Zhao was speechless, so he waved his hand at Yun Yi: "Sweep it clean, Just put the pot back on, that's all."

Yun Yi was ashamed and ashamed because she lost her, and when she heard this, she turned around and ran out of the house as if fleeing.

Qin Zhao shook his head helplessly, and said: "It can be seen that beauty really misleads people. I have the most girls in this courtyard. What should I do in the future? If this one is broken today, and that one is broken tomorrow, don't I want to Bankruptcy? In the future, Yun wants to put away all the good things and only pick up the vulgar things."

Before she finished speaking, Shan Xiaoying snorted coldly.

Qin Zhao hurriedly laughed and said, "Brother Shan, don't be angry. I'm also planning ahead. It takes time for people to accept new things. After a long time, this kind of thing won't happen if you get tired of aesthetics. Be patient. Just wait a few days and you'll be fine."

Shan Xiaoying: ...

After joking, Shan Xiaoying said: "When I was just admitted to the hospital, when I was at the waterside pavilion, I saw some tents made of white cloth on the east wall of the yard from a distance. What do you do?"

Mentioning the result of his several days of work, Qin Zhao couldn't help but feel proud: "What's a little scenery? That's what I used as an experiment. If it works, it's not difficult to make money every day. Money is nothing more, At that time, I'm afraid that the people of the whole kingdom of David will be grateful to me."

It's just a few tents, Shan Xiaoying said: "What do you have to do with the people?"

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "Let's go to the farm in the afternoon. It's not just about the rice, it's also related to the greenhouse. I planted some vegetables in the greenhouse. When they grow, we don't have to eat them every day in winter. Now that I can eat meat, I can eat whatever vegetables I want. Speaking of which, it’s really boring to eat either mutton or pork every day. If Big Brother Shan is interested, I’ll take you to have a look.”

How many people in this world can't even fill their stomachs, this little girl can eat meat every day, but she still hates it?You have to know how many people's families, all year round, may not be able to smell the smell of meat once.

Besides, he has no interest in growing vegetables.Shan Xiaoying shook her head. Although Qin Zhao can't show off, it's like she got a pearl, but others don't bother to look at it like a fish's eye, which makes her really feel like walking in the night in brocade clothes.However, since the other party is not interested in this kind of mood of sharing happiness together, it is not easy to force it.

After thinking about it, since lunch hasn't started yet, why not arrange a room here for him first.

Shan Xiaoying is superb in martial arts, I am afraid that he is no worse than that old evil Grandpa Luo.Qin Zhao also didn't want to treat him as a real person, but in her courtyard, there was really no room for people to live in except for the guards and servants at the back.

After thinking about it, after all, Shan Xiaoying was sent by Rocher to be her guard, responsible for her safety, so it was better for her to be inseparable, besides, she was only 11 years old, so there was no such thing as a male-female defense. He said: "In addition to the guards of the palace, I had four personal guards, Qin He and others. Brother Shan will see you in the afternoon, and only Qin He and Qin Feng will handle the trivial matters for me in the outer courtyard. Qin Lei and Qin Ming is the personal guard. He stayed with me in the Fucui Pavilion and lived in a few rooms at the back of the courtyard. Because there are servants coming and going there, it is not suitable for Eldest Brother Shan to live. But there is really no other suitable place for me here. , I used to live on the third floor, the second floor is used as a study room for entertaining guests, and besides the main hall downstairs, there are two wing rooms on the left and right, why don't we clean up one of them, Brother Shan lives in this building, is it convenient?"

It is inconvenient for Fang to just watch her make arrangements.It doesn't matter where he lives, but it's not bad to be closer to this girl, Shan Xiaoying nodded indifferently.

Qin Zhao said quickly, "Brother Shan, sit down first, and I'll ask someone to clean up the house."

In fact, there was no rush, they were going to the village in the afternoon, and they ordered the maids to clean up, and when they came back, they would naturally be able to live there.But Qin Zhao was unwilling to be sloppy with Shan Xiaoying.Looking at her differently, it is obviously not what a priest or guard should have, and Shan Xiaoying is completely resigned to her.

When Qin Zhao left the house, he saw Yun Yi bringing tea again. Seeing Qin Zhao going downstairs, Yun Yi wondered, "Princess, why did you come out? Where's the left guard?"
