Chapter 231 Awkward
"The little girl is only a little older, so what are you doing with a sour face? You should call me cousin anyway. In the future, even if cousin Azhe is gone, I will protect you. If you have something to do in the future, just let Qin Feng and the others Just send me a letter."

Qin Zhao curled his lips: "The far water can't solve the near fire, so you can't help if something really happens? You stay in the palace all year round. Could it be that Qin and the others can still send the letter into the palace? Besides, could it be I can only rely on others for the rest of my life? I will solve my own affairs."

Just one sentence choked Luo Jingnian.But right now his heart is sore and soft, and he still can't get angry with her.

Then I heard Qin Zhao say again: "I heard Cousin Jingchen say that Cousin Jinghua is not doing well recently, and you, as an older brother, don't care about it."

Luo Jingnian glanced at her, but didn't speak any more.

Why doesn't he care?But Jinghua's marriage is really embarrassing.

If it wasn't for Wei Wang's mansion, he would find a way to make Jinghua have a good future, and give Jinghua a decent family business when the family is divided in the future, although Jinghua's background is really not worthy of that of the Qi family. Girl, but uncle of the Qi family is not a person who doesn't love his children, the girl of the Qi family is willing, maybe she can make good things happen.

But now it is not possible.

And from Luo Jingnian's point of view, Qi Dafei's identity as a girl of the Qi family is there, even if she and Jinghua are married, whether the two of them will live well in the future is not certain.

Where is there no grass in the world, the girl of the Qi family is really good, but she is the only good girl in the world?I really don't know why that boy Jinghua has such deep affection for that girl.

It was nearly noon when we arrived at the farm.

The person who came to meet them was not Manager Li, but Li Huaida.

"Master Li is busy in the field. The villain doesn't know much about farming, so he didn't follow to make trouble, so he helped to welcome the princess." Li Huaida saluted and said with a smile.

"Has the rice been harvested? How's the harvest?" There was nothing else Li Da could do to go to the field to see it in person, except for the rice.These days are the time for rice harvesting.Qin Zhao is also very concerned about the output.After all, Nongsang is a big deal.

"I harvested six or seven mu of land yesterday, and the yield was good. I heard from Manager Li that there should be four or five loads of rice harvested. If it wasn't for the heavy rain during earing, it might have been even higher. "When Li Huaida talked about the rice output, he also had a happy expression on his face.

Although the harvest of the farm has nothing to do with him, but he is in charge of the greenhouse and has lived on the farm for a year, and he has feelings for this farm. Naturally, he hopes that the rice that Mr. Li spent a lot of time in charge of, Can have a good harvest.This is not just a matter of production. If the trial rice planting in the Northland is successful, it will be a blessing for the people in the entire Central Plains.

Qin Zhao silently calculated that the output of four or five tans was about five or six hundred catties, which was indeed a little less than the thousand catties per mu of hybrid rice in her previous life, but compared to the current level of farming, there is still As for the seeds, five to six hundred catties are absolutely high yields.

Qin Zhao said happily, "That's great. With such a production volume, it's not in vain that Director Li put all his efforts into his affairs."

He then introduced Luo Jingnian to Li Huaida: "This is the young master of the Duke of Yue."

After Li Huaida saw the ceremony, he wanted to lead Qin Zhao and others to the courtyard, and saw that behind Qin Zhao there were no other attendants except Qin He and others. funny.

"Li Huaida, you don't have to look around on our way here. I have brought some servants of the palace with me when I come back. When you turn around, you can help me out and clean up the room. The room I live in is always owned by Yunshang and the others." It's been tidying up all the time, you can ask someone to clean up the house that Chen Xiaogong and the others lived in before, and let Luo Xiaogong live in it. By the way, this time only Zisu came back with me, Yun Xiang didn't come. "

Hearing her mention Yun Xiang alone, Li Huaida blushed.When he came back to his senses, he looked at Qin Zhao with surprise.

What does it mean that the princess just mentioned Miss Yunxiang in front of him?
Did he see that he was interested in Miss Yun Xiang?If this is the case, seeing how the princess made fun of him, does this not object to his thoughts on Miss Yun Xiang?Moreover, the princess reacted like this, is it because the princess knows Miss Yun Xiang and doesn't hate herself?
Although Li Huaida is a good citizen, he still feels that he cannot be compared to Yun Xiang.You must know that Yun Xiang, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, is the personal maid of the princess. Although good and bad are not allowed to intermarry, the princess is a person who will definitely not treat her personal servants badly, not to mention others. It was his own daughter, Xiaoqiu, who had nothing to do with the princess, but just to let him concentrate on doing his job well, took Xiaoqiu into the mansion, treated such a small girl like Xiaoqiu very generously.Not to mention her personal servants?
Xiaoqiu has been brought up extremely well, even a lady from a well-off country gentleman is no better than Xiaoqiu.I have never been stingy about clothes and jewelry.At least it's much better than keeping Xiao Qiu by his side.Among other things, even what Xiao Qiu is wearing now is not something he can afford.An irrelevant little girl like the princess can do this, let alone a personal maid who has served her wholeheartedly for several years and is deeply dependent on her?

If Miss Yun Xiang wanted to, the princess would definitely let them go and release Yun Xiang's contract.

If it comes true... your badass heart boils.

If everything comes true, he will try his best to do well the job assigned to him by the princess, so that it will not be in vain for the princess to treat his servants well.

The next time he sees Yun Xiang, he must ask Yun Xiang what he wants, and if Miss Yun Xiang likes him, he will propose marriage to the princess.

Yun Xiang is really a good girl, even Xiao Qiu likes to get close to her.And she is also very good with small balls.In the past, he never thought about marrying his stepmother, and he was also worried that his stepmother would treat his daughter badly. If it were Miss Yun Xiang, he would not have such worries.

The more Li Huaida thought about it, the more excited he became, to the point where Qin Zhao said that she didn't have the manor house and went directly to the field to have a look, but he also heard half of it clearly.When Qin Zhao and Luo Jingnian went to the field, he was still immersed in the joy when he walked into the courtyard alone. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a servant asked, "Isn't Guanshi Li going to meet the princess?" ? Why did you come back alone? The princess didn’t come to our farm today?” He just woke up.

Busy looking for Mrs. Pang to clean up the house where Lord Luo Xiaoguo lived, and cleared out a few rooms for servants to live in for the servants who followed the palace. It was the courtyard where Qin Zhao lived. I also told Mrs. Pang to take care of it. one time.

Li Huaida has never been a person who talks a lot, and now he has been wordy, and what he said is a bit confusing, and Pond is wondering what's wrong with you, you villain.Yunshang and Yunyi were mischievous, and when Xiaoqiu was away, when they mentioned Li Huaida, they all called you a villain, and Pond also knew about it.

"What's wrong with Li Guanshi? The princess's house, why do you need to remind me? I heard that the princess is coming today, and Lan Niang and the others cleaned it up early in the morning. Besides, the house is usually cleaned up. It's true. Li Guanshi, can you ask when the princess and Luo Xiaogong will return to the courtyard? The slave family can also prepare food in the kitchen."

If you make it late, you are afraid that when people come back, you will not be able to catch up with the food, and if you are too early, you are afraid that it will be left cold.The dishes are reheated, and the taste is not as good as the new ones.

Li Huaida's face blushed again when he asked, and he was thinking about Miss Yunxiang all the way back.

"This, this, I'll ask again." Li Huaida said awkwardly, "It's already past dinner time, the princess and the young master must go to the field to have a look, so they should come back, the sister-in-law just go first Get the kitchen ready."

After speaking, he left the yard as if fleeing.

From a distance, Qin Zhao and Luo Jingnian saw the large dark gold rice field, and when they got closer, they realized that a large area had been harvested.Every farmer who was busy in the field had the joy of a good harvest on his face, and Manager Li was even more smiling, standing on the field stalk, busy directing.

Those who harvested, bundled, transported the bundled rice, and those who carried the loads transported the piles of rice back to the threshing ground, it was a thriving harvest scene.

It was Luo Jingnian, a noble son who had never seen how farmers harvested and cultivated the land, but when he saw the joy on the farmers' faces, he felt happy.

There were Zhuang Han who saw the princess coming, and hurriedly reminded Li Da.

Li Da raised his head and saw that besides the princess, there was also a handsome and eye-popping nobleman who was chatting and laughing with the princess.

One of them was wearing a black satin robe embroidered with gold, the other was wearing a red robe, the other was wearing a gold crown, and the other was wearing a high black gauze crown. They were also wearing royal blue cloaks. With light, if it weren't for the big difference in age, they are really a pair of bi people who are matched and cannot be matched anymore.

This noble young master came here chatting and laughing with the princess, even if he didn't need to guess, Li Da knew that this noble young master's status could not be lowered.

He rushed forward to greet them, and gave a big gift to the two: "The princess came back, and there was another nobleman as a guest. The villain really should go to greet him, but this is the first time the rice is harvested. The villain is not at ease. It is the villain's rudeness." .”

Qin Zhao said with a smile: "I come here often, and Li Daguan doesn't have to do these empty rituals with me. I heard Li Huaida said that the rice harvest is good, and the yield per mu is four or five tons. If this is the case, we will grow more rice next year. And after the rice is harvested, another season of winter wheat can be planted. Calculated, the harvest of this mu of land is much higher than that of soybeans and wheat planted in previous years. Manager Li is worried. It is the farmers, If things go on like this, everyone can live a good life. I see joy on everyone's faces."

Li Da hurriedly said: "Where is the credit of the villain? It is because the farmers planted carefully that they have such a good harvest. There is also the method of threshing that the princess proposed. The rice harvested yesterday was threshed at night. Come out, sow the gray grass early this morning, weigh it, and it’s all down, there are five dans per mu, and I specially saved the good ones, and I want to grow more tomorrow.”

Qin Zhao also agreed, and the two stood on the stalks and talked for a long time, while Luo Jingnian also listened with a smile.

After talking for a long time, Li Dafang thought about it and asked: "The princess and the young man just arrived at this time, presumably they haven't had lunch yet. The villain will send the princess and the young man back to the manor, and wait until they are ready." For lunch, if the princess is not tired, let's go around again."

Only then did Qin Zhao feel a little hungry.She herself was fine, didn't she still have Luo Jingnian as a guest, he was a guest, and when she came to her territory, she only dragged people to watch the harvest, and didn't even provide food and tea, it was really rude.

"I really feel a little hungry when Mr. Li said that he is in charge. You don't have to worry about me, I'll just go back with Cousin Luo."

No matter how busy Li Da was, he didn't dare to trust him right now: "It's better for the villain to send the princess and the young master back."

Qin Zhao didn't come here just to see the rice harvesters, he wanted to ask Li Da about something, so he didn't insist.

The two got on their horses, and the servant who followed Li Da was also very discerning, and led the donkey that Li Da was riding, and the three of them chatted together and went to the manor.

Qin Zhaodao: "I came this time, firstly, to see how the rice harvest is going. Now that I see it, I feel at ease. The second is because of the red sweet potato. Although you have reported the letter to the palace before, I am not at ease. I just came to take a look. When the rice is harvested, we will start harvesting sweet potatoes."

Li Da heard this, and said with a smile: "If the princess hadn't asked the sweet potato not to be touched for the time being, the total amount of land would only be a few mu, and it would take two or three days to dig it all out."

Qin Zhao then asked when the rice would be harvested.

Because it is the workers who reap the harvest, they still have to thresh the grain, and then they have to sow the ashes, dry the grain, and put it into the warehouse.Although there are many farm households in the village, each of them has their own busy work. Those who can be spared to harvest rice are only one-fifth of the strong labor force in the village. The rest are busy with workshops and farms. , Some are busy with greenhouses.After all, it is also August now, and all the vegetables in the greenhouse have been planted, and now is the time to take care of them.

Li Da replied: "It only takes about four or five days to collect it. There is only so much land in total. We still have enough manpower. It only takes a few days to dry the millet, but at that time, we can also spare The manpower is going to dig the sweet potato. The princess doesn't have to worry about manpower."

Qin Zhao thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival was only a few days away, but Jinwu was engaged on the [-]th, and there were a few more days. Grandfather invited His Majesty to come to the farm. If there is no accident, it should be the [-]th day, so there are still nearly ten days As for the time, I can catch up with it.

"Don't worry, if the sweet potatoes are not harvested in the field for a while, it will not affect anything. When the harvest is over, the land will be leveled, and the winter wheat will be planted just right. The winter wheat farming time will not be delayed, and the land will not be barren. Harvest in May next year We planted wheat, and just planted another crop of sweet potatoes."

The red sweet potato seedlings are grown in March, and the wheat harvested in May just happens to plant sweet sweet potatoes, without any delay.

Li Da was also happy to hear that, the high utilization rate of the field is a good thing for farmers.He was still worried about planting sweet potatoes. If he could only grow sweet potatoes for one season a year, even though the yield was high, it would be a pity if the fields were left idle for several months.

After talking, he went to the courtyard.

Because when they returned to the manor, a servant sent by Pond's to inquire had come back early to pass on the news, and Pond's ordered the kitchen to start a fire.After Qin Zhao and the others returned to the courtyard and washed up, the food was served on the table.

Luo Jingnian and Qin Zhao ate the late lunch together, and because they were really hungry, they both ate a lot.

After eating, Zisu and Lan Niang served Luo Jingnian and Qin Zhao with rinsing tea, rinsed their mouths, and walked out. Luo Jingnian glanced at Qin Zhao's flat body, with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect you It's quite edible, but it's a pity to eat so much... Tsk tsk."

Qin Zhao is angry, labor and management are only 12 years old, if the waves are choppy, then it is abnormal, okay?
This guy usually looks like a human being, he is quite a proud young man, and I don't see that he has any special attention to the opposite sex. How did he come to me, and even her small flat figure paid attention to her? ?

Did this guy really fancy himself?And still in the second stage of middle school, still in the stage of bullying girls to attract girls' attention?
Qin Zhao rolled his eyes: "I eat my own food, and I can afford it. Does my cousin have any opinions on how to use my personal property?"

"Of course I have no objection," Luo Jingnian shook his head, "If my cousin thinks it's not enough to eat, my cousin will give you some more belongings, and you can eat as much as you want, and you can eat whatever you want... Well, we women in the Kingdom of David regard plumpness as their beauty, You look like this, tsk tsk, I don’t know, you still think we’re deducting your food. But don’t worry, it’s nothing if you can eat, people like us can’t afford you something to eat?”

Qin Zhao was silent, then stretched out his hand decisively: "Since my cousin said so, I will not be polite."

What does it mean?Ask money from yourself?Luo Jingnian really wanted to be like Chen Erhuo who was acting cool and handsome outside, took out a few ingots of gold ingots from his arms, and patted them proudly in front of her.

But he stretched out his hand to feel in his bosom, and then squeezed the purse hanging on his waist without giving up. There was really nothing in it except for a few pieces of incense that Jingchen put for him.

"Cough," Luo Jingnian was a little embarrassed, "Well, I'll send you to your house when you return to the city." At the same time, Luo Jingnian secretly decided that he must bring enough money with him when he goes out in the future.It's really embarrassing for the dignified Duke of Yue, who can't even touch a penny.

Qin Zhao didn't intend to let him go: "How much to give? Cousin made it clear, I plan to eat it. If I accidentally eat it, break it, and my cousin has no more money to pay, then don't I want to give it away?" starve?"

Speaking of which, although Luo Jingnian is the future head of the Luo family, he has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child. After all, he has never worried about money. He is different from Chen Erhuo. There are many places for money, and he seldom goes out. Even if he needs to spend money when he goes out, his followers will pay for it. He has no concept of money.

Even speaking, he really has no personal property.

There was a salary, but it was all given to Mrs. Wei directly, and the monthly money was also collected by the maids. Qin Zhao's question really caught him.

"How much do you want?" Even he himself felt a little guilty when he heard this voice without confidence.
Luo Jingnian's forced face betrayed his frail heart deeply.

Qin Zhao secretly smiled.

Even if she didn't know Luo Jingnian, she knew something from Luo Jingchen's mouth.

A guy like him who was born with a golden key in his mouth, since he was a child, has he ever been troubled by his livelihood?For such a person who has no concept of money, talking about money with him really hurt his self-esteem.

"How much does my cousin have? You also said that I can eat. Aren't you still worried that my food farm, my tea house and tea shop, and my annual salary will not be able to support me? It shows that I am a real eater." Yes."

Is this showing off that she is richer than herself?Luo Jingnian looked at her smug little face, thinking that this girl was so happy to see him eating turtles.

"Oh, my cousin also knows that the entire Luo family will be mine in the future. I am more valuable than anything else. I only talk about money. I know my cousin is far-sighted. Why don't I put myself Gave it to you?"

Qin Zhao:  …

It's too shameless, what does it mean to "give myself to you"?Listen to this, why is it so awkward?
