Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 316 Two Good Harvests and Two Calculations
In the end, she changed her clothes, washed off the oily smoke, held her son in her arms, and accompanied the Fang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to lunch.

A few birds with bright tail feathers fell on the big tree in the yard outside the window, tilting their necks to look at the people laughing and chatting in the room, occasionally chirping and discussing a few words, at the end they may be a little annoyed. If you can't eat it, you will be together in the end, flapping your wings and flying away.

The sky was blue, with a few dazzling white clouds floating around.Autumn is crisp, and this is the season of joyful harvest.

In the Guangming Hall next to him, Gong Zhiming was eating the fragrant white rice slowly, occasionally glancing at Prime Minister Fang sitting at the bottom who was concentrating on the plate of sweet and sour fish, and Fang Xin who was contentedly gnawing on the ribs. I couldn't help but twitched in distress.

His wife and children just came back yesterday, and he felt sorry for Ding Wei's exhaustion and refused to let her cook.Strictly speaking, today's lunch is a family reunion feast.

But Mrs. Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law "robbed" his wife and children, and Prime Minister Fang and his son came to "rob" his lunch.This had to make him wonder, did he offend the Fang family somewhere?If it wasn't for the fact that Donghao didn't release the prime minister after the founding of the country, he really wanted to drive this family to Hainan to eat bananas...

Prime Minister Fang is an old man, even though he was eating slowly, he could not help laughing as he saw the emperor's expression from the corner of his eyes.Originally, I was forced to come here by my son, but in the future, I still have to "accompany" the emperor to have meals...

In the main courtyard of Houde Village, Uncle Yun's grandson and grandson were also sitting and eating together.The old man is getting old, his taste buds have degenerated, and he likes to eat soft, sour and sweet vegetables. Now he eats with a smile on his face, and even asks the servant girl to warm up a pot of fruit wine and bring him a few drinks.

Yun Mao picked the fishbone for his grandfather, and went to peel the ribs. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Grandfather, hasn't that man returned to the palace, why did he bring food? You...you were like this in the palace?"

Uncle Yun chewed slowly and ate all the fish in the bowl, and then he looked at his grandson seriously and said, "Brother Mao, grandfather told you today that you must never resent the emperor and Miss Ding because of your father. Although grandfather is also distressed, But your father committed a capital crime. Even your elder sister almost killed Miss Ding and the prince. Now the emperor spared their lives, and made arrangements to keep the Yun family's innocence. It is the utmost kindness. The emperor will not allow you For the scientific examination, I guess it is because you have hatred in your heart or your heart follows your father. Once you become an official, you will do harm to one party, so you need to study and cultivate your mind.

Don't worry, your grandfather has served the emperor all his life, and he still has some face.When you get married and give birth to a child, and the child is growing up, whether it is the crown prince or Miss Ding, they will take care of their grandfather's face, but when the time comes, will you be needed? Let's work hard, understand? "

"Yes, grandfather!" Yun Mao hurriedly got up and respectfully responded, "Grandson never resented, but thanked the masters for being so lenient to grandfather."

Only then did Uncle Yun laugh, pulled his grandson to sit down again, and stretched out his hand to hold a piece of ribs for him, "When there was no accident, Miss Ding prepared the dishes with her own hands every day. I remember one of the emperor's favorite dishes It is a fish in sauce. First, the big fish should be wrapped in flour and deep-fried, then placed on a white porcelain plate, poured with red sauce, and a white mist will rise suddenly. The sweet and sour taste, Just one sip will make the gods not want to go back to the Heavenly Palace."

After all, Yun Mao was young, so he couldn't help swallowing when he heard his grandfather say that.

"Is it really that delicious?"

"Of course," the old man replied with a smile, "When I have a chance in the future, I will have the cheek to let Miss Ding do it once. Speaking of it, the emperor is the most blessed, and finally took Miss Ding back to the palace. From now on, Miss Ding can only give He cooks and eats by himself!"

As he spoke, the old man was a little jealous.On the contrary, Yun Mao pointed to the dishes on the table, smiled and said nothing.

Sure enough, the old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "The emperor is probably also annoyed right now!"

The grandparents and grandchildren ate while talking and laughing. The dining table is not big and the population is not large, but it is warmer because of the food with friendship...

On the other hand, in Ding's farm, all the old and young were in the fields to grab the crops together with the farmers, and when Wang wanted to be lazy, Lu called to deliver water.

Mr. Wei took Yunying up the mountain together, and autumn is the best season of the year for picking herbs, so only Qin Rui and Qin Quan who could just sit up were left in the Ding family compound.

The master and the servant saw that the big food box was full of delicacies, but they were the only ones to eat, and they were as happy as mice who had stolen meat jerky.You have a spare rib, and I have a prawn, which makes my belly round.When Dabao came back with Fu'er to look for snacks, he found that his aunt had brought delicious food. The two children bit their fingers and looked at Qin Rui's master and servant with accusations all over their faces.

Qin Rui blushed, determined that his "illness" was getting worse, and lay down, refusing to get up again.There was really no other way to keep Qin Quan, so he managed to coax the two children out of the house, promised countless snacks and gadgets, and finally suppressed the "scandal" of the two eating alone...

The worst thing is the peach blossoms who are bored in the west courtyard, the gorgeous and beautiful are forgotten by everyone...

A bumper harvest is a feast for farmers all over the world. Even if they are so tired that their hands and feet are sore and their waists are bent, everyone's faces are still full of happiness and satisfaction.

Here in Donghao, I don’t know if the new emperor is favored by the heavens and has a good weather all year round. Almost every household has golden corn sticks piled up in the yard.It stands to reason that with such a bumper harvest, the price of grain must be lowered, but this year has been uncharacteristically, the government's Changping warehouse has opened its doors, and after the grain tax has been collected, it is still levied at a high price.

Although the farmers didn't know why, they were also happy that a year's hard work could be exchanged for more money, which became snacks for children, new dresses for daughter-in-laws, and silver bracelets for old mothers. Enough rations, the rest will be sent to Changping warehouse.

There is a lot of food, and the soldiers guarding the four directions are full of food and drink, and when they have accumulated strength, they begin to practice non-stop day and night.

In each horse farm, countless war horses are raised fat and strong...

Although the emperor didn't say it explicitly, all the civil and military officials and the common people in the market could faintly smell a big war is coming.

Some of them are unwilling to be mediocre, and those who want to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield have secretly started to go to the city to inquire behind their parents' backs, while some simply seek advice from veterans who have retired from the army.As a result, the veterans in each village who are responsible for delivering letters or correcting official roads are more respected.It's been a long time since I bought wine by myself, and there are always boys with wine and vegetables to find...

Compared with Donghao's situation is very good, Tie Le is a little quiet and weird.At this time in previous years, Wang Ting would always send people out to wander around, urging the herdsmen to turn in their cattle, sheep and horses. If the livestock were not fat enough, they would be scolded and scolded.

But this year, only a few hundred people were sent out, and they only wandered around the Wangting for a few hundred miles, and would not go any further.So everyone guessed that something big happened in the royal court.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of a certain day, in a large tent in the royal court, there were countless soldiers guarding it tightly.Because of his thin body, the fifth prince, who had always been somewhat cowardly, led Da Khan and the other eldest princes into the tent with a sly air.

A long table was placed in the tent, on which were placed some pots and bowls filled with strangely colored powders.Everyone was puzzled, so the fifth prince pulled profusely to the table and said, "Father Khan, this is the secret recipe for firecrackers that my sister found. It is said that Emperor Donghao guarded this thing more than his life. If it wasn't for My sister is very resourceful, even this prescription can’t be sent back.”

Before Da Khan could speak, the other princes were afraid that the youngest brother would rob them of their favor, and they sneered and ridiculed one after another.

"Fifth Brother, who spends all day studying, is it stupid? What use is this powder together? Could someone look at it with a knife and throw a handful of powder in the hope of fascinating the enemy's eyes?"

"Haha, that's right. We Tiele people are born on horseback and grow on horseback. We still have to straddle horses to kill the enemy. These crooked ways are just ignorant women and fools!"

The several eldest princes who usually dislike each other and fight openly and secretly are surprisingly united at the moment.For them, they have pure blood of Tiele, their father Khan's love, and Tiele's pasture should be theirs, and they must not be given to this little bastard of a Han girl!
The fifth prince seemed a little frustrated, and explained aggrievedly, "Brothers, don't worry, my sister said that this thing will blow up rocks. If you figure it out, you can throw one out after the two armies are at war. Even if you startle the horse, you can take the lead.”

Sure enough, with his appearance, he was immediately protected by the profuse sweat.Da Khan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I've noticed both your hard work and Sa Ren's."

After finishing speaking, he turned to his sons and scolded, "You all know how to fight and kill, so learn from Xiao Wu!"

The eldest princes all looked at the slightly proud fifth prince behind their father Khan with resentment on their faces, but they still bowed their heads to listen to the training after all.

"Father Khan, it's all my fault. My brothers misunderstood." The fifth prince hurriedly "pleaded" on behalf of his brothers, "Father Khan sit down, and I will let the craftsman roll firecrackers quickly. The secret recipe sent back by my sister said, as long as If it’s not thicker than a child’s arm, it won’t blow up badly, let’s find a thinner one and try it later!”

"Since the explosion is not strong, let's try it in this tent. Don't let the news leak, Donghao is prepared. Blessed by Changshengtian, he got tens of thousands of dans of grain for nothing before, and this year's cattle and horses are also fat. If there are firecrackers again, Our Tie Le is like a tiger with wings added, when the time comes to gallop to Dong Hao, at this time next year, Father Khan will sit in Dong Hao's golden palace and have a banquet with you!"

"Congratulations to Fu Khan, he will surely crush Dong Hao and rule the world!"

The fifth prince immediately knelt down to congratulate him, and the eldest princes knelt down, annoyed that they were not as good as the fifth.

Da Khan was very happy, his black and red face was shining, and his beard was raised. He helped his sons up with his own hands, and praised, "As long as you brothers are of one mind, why worry that I, Tie Le Jingqi, cannot conquer the world!"
