The princess has the skills to keep her face [clear wear]
Chapter 131 (1)
Kangxi and Queen Tong were very happy. What could make them more proud than hearing others praise their children in person?
These people didn't know the identities of their group, and their praise came from the heart, and it became more and more commendable.
Qionghua is a very lovable child, Kangxi and Queen Tong have always known this.
Therefore, Kangxi and Queen Tong were not at all surprised to see Qionghua mingling like a fish in water among a group of farmers they just met.
Among them, the old woman who was talking to Qionghua liked Qionghua's bright, lively and energetic appearance. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve with trembling hands, and there were two pieces of maltose wrapped in the handkerchief. She handed the maltose to Qionghua : "Come on, kids, eat. I'll tell you more about it later, when you guys move over here."
The maltose has been wrapped and hidden in the sleeves, and it has melted a little. It looks very simple, and it can't be compared with the various exquisite snacks and candies that Qionghua has seen in the palace.But Qionghua could see that this bit of sweetness was very important to the old woman, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so tightly wrapped and carefully treasured by her.
These days, sugar is a precious item for ordinary people.
The old woman was reluctant to eat it herself, Qionghua couldn't figure out why she would give it to herself.
"It's too precious, I can't accept it." Qionghua tried her best to imitate the appearance of an honest peasant girl, and waved at the old woman: "You should eat by yourself."
When the old woman heard the words, her expression darkened.
Someone beside her quietly persuaded Qionghua, "Little girl, just accept it. Old lady Jiang used to keep a piece or two of candy on her body for her little grandson to eat. But a few years ago, old lady Jiang There was a disaster in my hometown, and on the way here, Mrs. Jiang’s little grandson missed him and was kidnapped by a kidnapper... These years, Mrs. Jiang has also had a hard time."
Seeing Qionghua's pensive look, the man knew that although the girl was not very old, she was intelligent, and said, "When Mrs. Jiang's little grandson was kidnapped, he was about your age. Since then , Mrs. Jiang likes children very much, and she is very good to children of your age. Knowing that you are sensible, she doesn't want to accept the candy from her, but if you can accept it, she will probably be able to accept it a little more Share your comfort."
Hearing this, Qionghua walked up to the old woman, took the handkerchief from her hand, opened the handkerchief, took out a candy, didn't dislike the sticky candy, just put it in her mouth.Maltose is very sweet. Although it looks bad, the taste is not bad at all.
Seeing Qionghua eat the candy, the old woman showed a happy expression, and immediately felt a sense of satisfaction.
Then, she saw a big smile on Qionghua's face, she tried her best to stand on her toes, raised her hand high, and sent another candy to her mouth, and said very sensible and obediently: "You eat too!"
The old woman remembered that her little grandson was so well-behaved back then. If there was only one candy, he would refuse to eat it by himself. If he had to have two candies, he would eat one with grandma, and I would eat one. The urge to cry.
She took the candy, put it into her mouth tremblingly, and said to Qionghua: "Good boy, good boy..."
She has never studied, and she rarely communicates with others, so her language is very poor, and she repeats such a sentence over and over again, but Qionghua can feel the emotions emerging in her heart.
She stepped forward and took the initiative to give the old lady who lost her little grandson a hug.
Later, Qionghua learned that the old lady was an old man living alone, and her son was drafted into the army during the San Francisco War, and he was in the team responsible for the crusade against Wu Sangui.In the end, the war was won and Wu Sangui fell, but her son was not able to come back, and even his bones could not be found, and he only received a pension.Later, the old lady's daughter-in-law left early because of overwork, leaving only the old lady and her little grandson to depend on each other... If that's the case, it's fine, anyway, the family has a little property, and there are two acres of land, so the old lady can live in peace The old lady who brought up her little grandson had a hard life in her early years. It was not until these years that she was able to work quickly, and was favored by Qionghua, the manager of the Zhuangzi, who left her to work in the Zhuangzi. Her life was easier. a lot.
The farmers here obviously regard the well-behaved and lovable Qionghua as "one of their own", so they tell her these things.When they thought about it, since Qionghua's family was going to work in Zhuangzi, they would know about it sooner or later, and there was no difference between telling them sooner or later.
After learning about this, Qionghua's originally relaxed and happy mood became a little heavy.
The old lady is not the most miserable of many farmers, she is just one of the unfortunate people.There are many more people who have encountered the same misfortune as her, even worse.
Still, they're trying to get by, struggling to survive.
After losing a lot, they become easily satisfied, and even a small improvement in their lives is enough to make them grateful.
That's why they praised the generous master and steward so much, and when they found that the yield of rice planted according to the master's request had increased sharply, they regarded it as a miracle.
It is precisely because they have been hungry, suffered hunger, and lost too much that they cherish the life they have now.
……
When Yinzhen saw his little sister getting along well with the farmers, he was originally proud and proud from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he deserved to be his sister, and she was so likable.Of course, he himself did not go over to communicate with those farmers, but folded his arms and leaned against the tree.
He is already an adult, but he can't be as lovable as Qionghua.If he walked over to talk to those farmers, it might destroy the beautiful atmosphere. Moreover, he didn't know how to communicate with them. He has never been a person who is good at words.At this point, his sister did much better than him.Of course, Yinzhen was not in a daze, but kept listening to the conversation between Qionghua and those people with his ears up.The younger sister communicated with the farmers for the first time. Such a scene is still worth remembering.
Of course, Yinzhen has to admit that in the exchanges between his sister and those farmers, he himself has deepened his understanding of the people and their life.
In the past, I only listened to the masters talking about how the people were, but it was too one-sided after all.Only when you get in touch with them in person and listen to their parents' short stories, can you really feel what kind of life they are living.
When he heard what happened to the old lady, he was also a little bit embarrassed.When he was in the palace, he always heard that the life of the people outside the palace was hard, and some ancestors once said that the people are suffering when they are prosperous, and the people are suffering when they die.But Yinzhen has never felt too deeply about this. People are always easy to ignore the pain of others.
It is not until today that Yinzhen has a deeper feeling about this.
Fortunately, the old lady seems to have come out of the haze, and now she is full of energy, and the interaction with her sister is also very warm.
Yinzhen expressed his appreciation for his sister's ability to appease people, and then... he was pushed by Kangxi.
I saw that Kangxi, who was looking at Qionghua proudly just now, was full of hatred for iron and steel.
"Your sister is there to learn about people's livelihood and actively communicate with the people in this village. As an elder brother, you have already entered the court and participated in politics, so how can you be lazy? Hurry up and work hard with your sister!" Of course, Kangxi's The original words are a little more subtle than this, but it sums up the meaning.The dissatisfaction in his gaze towards Yinzhen was not fake either.
The disliked Yin Mo: "..."
Soon after, Yinzhen and Qionghua switched maps and appeared in the field at the same time.
I saw golden rice everywhere, and the autumn wind blew, and the rice swayed in mid-air with the wind, which made people happy to see it.
Yinzhen is not someone who has never been out of the palace. When persuading farming, Kangxi would often take a few older brothers with him to deepen their understanding of farming, so as to prevent his son from making troubles in the future. Here comes the joke.Among all the rice fields that Yinzhen has seen, there has never been a rice field that can grow so much rice.
The rice fields in front of him made Yinzhen very moved.He finally understood why Khan Ama took him and Er Niang to Zhuangzi on a special trip, and said that they must not miss this scene before them.If this kind of rice can be planted in every mu of land, then in the future, the common people will no longer have to worry about not having enough food.
Only those who stand here personally and see this scene will understand what kind of feat this is.
And the initiator of this feat was his sister.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling a sense of pride and a sense of shame at being compared to his younger sister.
Yinzhen always thought that he had worked hard enough, and now that he was in the court, he could do more things that benefit the people's livelihood.However, the reality is that Yinzhen is still fighting wits and bravery with those old people in Liubu, and they are still criticizing Yinzhen because he is an airborne soldier, but Qionghua has already made some achievements.
With this high-quality and prolific rice, no one can erase the achievements of his sister.Even if his younger sister, as a woman, cannot enter the court to participate in politics, her contribution is by no means smaller than many people in the court.
Like Yinzhen, Empress Tong was also deeply moved.It may not be appropriate to use the word "sentimental".To be precise, Queen Tong was shocked.
It's not that she doesn't know that Qionghua has planted a piece of rice in her Changchun Palace with a yield far exceeding that of ordinary fields, but she only thinks that Qionghua is good at handling these things.At that time, she did not expect what kind of impact her daughter's ability would have on the Qing Dynasty.
It wasn't until today that Empress Tong was brought up to Zhuangzi and stood in front of this golden paddy field that she really realized what her daughter had done.If this method of increasing the yield of rice fields can be promoted and other people can do it, then the Qing Dynasty will be able to store more grain and the people will be able to live more prosperously.
Before this, although Queen Tong did not expressly object to Qionghua's many small actions, she undoubtedly held an attitude of disapproval, thinking that Qionghua was really thankless.But from today onwards, she will no longer think so.Her daughter deserves to be proud of her!
Kangxi leaned into Queen Tong's ear and asked, "Did you see it?"
Empress Tong nodded: "I see."
Kangxi looked at Qionghua with relief: "The children have grown up, in the future, let them have more room for free play."
The farmers on the side did not miss the shocked look in the eyes of Yinzhen and Queen Tong, and they said to the family of four in a somewhat smug tone: "Aren't you dumbfounded? This is the first time we have seen such a growth in the rice field. When there was too much rice, I was dumbfounded. This is the miracle brought to us by Fairy Boy! If the old god hadn’t entrusted the eighth princess with a dream, how could the eighth princess have such a good way to teach us? If it weren’t for the eighth princess Teach us this new planting method, how can we usher in a bumper harvest this year when production in other places has decreased?"
"You are lucky. You caught up with the good time and were recruited at this time. In the future, our life will be better and better."
Although Kangxi, Queen Tong, and Yinzhen didn't communicate much with the farmers, the farmers had a good impression of the family of four because of Princess Qionghua's maximizing their favorability in front of the farmers, and their attitudes were also good. Very enthusiastic, as if they welcome this family to join them.
Even, the old woman who gave Qionghua sugar asked when Qionghua and the others were going to move here officially.
This made Qionghua, who had randomly found an excuse in order to strike up a conversation with them, a little guilty.She thought, before leaving, she must find an opportunity to explain the truth to the old woman, and she couldn't let her wait in vain.Perhaps it was because of the barrenness under her knees, Qionghua felt that the old woman wanted to treat her as her own son and granddaughter.
I don't know what Qionghua said to the farmers, she turned around suddenly, walked up to Yinzhen, dragged Yinzhen away: "Since we are here to experience rural life, why don't we help these people?" Get busy, idle is idle anyway!"
Qionghua caught the disgusted look in Han Ama's eyes when she looked at Yinzhen just now.Qionghua felt that she had to find something for her brother to do, lest her brother be disliked again.
It just so happens that the farmers working in the fields are too busy, so they do what they can to help!
Ever since, Yinzhen, who had no room for objection, was brought to the farmers by Qionghua. After Qionghua introduced them to them, "he is her brother who is not good at words but willing to help others", the farmers were very awkward. accepted him.
Yinzhen is fourteen five years old this year, and he is also an adult. In their opinion, it is indeed the age for him to work hard in the fields.So, they handed the hoe to Yinzhen.Of course, this group of farmers did not have the intention of taking advantage of Yinzhen. Right now they need help, and Yinzhen helped them. In the future, Yinzhen and the others will also come here. When Yinzhen's family is too busy, they will also give Yinzhen Let's help each other.
This is also a form of their mutual help.
Yinzhen, who was driven out of the market and had no room to refute: "..."
What else can I do?It's all about this, my father dislikes him for doing nothing, and my sister cheats on him again, so I can only work honestly?Fortunately, he had learned a little bit of farm work from farmers when he encouraged farming in the spring, otherwise, he didn't know what to do with the farm tools in his hand!
As for Qionghua, although she also enthusiastically expressed her willingness to help, but she is young, and she is a cute little girl. The farmers are reluctant to let her do heavy work, and only occasionally let her help deliver some things and run errands Qionghua had a great time doing it.
The farmers couldn't stop thanking Qionghua. I didn't know how much Qionghua had helped them!In fact, Qionghua is only responsible for communicating with the farmers and doing some light work. Yinzhen is doing both rough and heavy work.
Unfortunately, no one has praised him yet.
Because everyone believed in his character design and felt that he was not good at speaking and didn't like to talk, no one took the initiative to talk to him.
Yin Yun: "..." Not happy.jpg.
He felt like a transparent person.
I shoveled a few more hoes, and suddenly someone ran over in a panic: "Hey, you young man, you seem to be a strong man, why are you so slow to do some work? Let me tell you, you can't shovel like this. , it will damage the rice, it has to be this way, this way, and this way..."
Well, not only did no one come to thank him, but he was also rejected by others.
Kangxi and Queen Tong, who were standing aside, couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
Whether it was the appearance of Qionghua happily running around in the fields, or the appearance of Yinzhen waving a hoe while showing a loveless expression, they all greatly pleased them and made them feel that the trip was worthwhile .
Qionghua dared to send her brother to help the farmers, but she didn't dare to order her A Ma and Er Niang.
Kangxi and Queen Tong are used to being pampered in the air on weekdays, if they are suddenly asked to help with farm work... the scene is so beautiful that Qionghua can't imagine it.Especially Queen Tong, these years, her hands have been kept very soft and delicate, and she hasn't done any heavy work.If Yinzhen is asked to help, he is clumsy, and others will only treat him as a boy and need whipping and admonition from the elders, but if the "old farmers" Kangxi and Queen Tong can't do farm work well, then the people in their family Isn't the assumption about to be punctured all of a sudden?
Qionghua said that she gets along very well with the farmers here and does not want to reveal her true identity for the time being.Otherwise, I'm afraid these people will no longer be able to show such a casual expression when they see him, and they will all be very reserved by then.
Qionghua thought very well. When they were about to leave, they would reveal their identities and reward the farmers here with something they could use.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhuangzi's steward came.
The surrounding farmers hurriedly put away the action of harvesting rice and saluted the steward.
In this Zhuangzi, many things are decided by the steward, and they dare not ignore the steward.However, at this moment, they saw that the steward they respected very much on weekdays actually knelt in front of the family of four who were said to be coming to work in Zhuangzi, and said respectfully to them: "My little one sees the emperor, empress, eight Princess, fourth elder brother! I don’t know that the four masters are here, and it’s too late to greet you, so I hope the emperor will forgive me!”
what?
The manager actually called these newcomers, what about the emperor and the empress?
Is this sweet-mouthed little girl who has been chasing after them the Eighth Princess?That is obviously a beautiful and lovely girl next door!And over there, the one who was disliked for helping harvest rice in the fields, is the fourth elder brother?That's clearly a born burly fool!
These farmers working in the fields felt that they were either dreaming or had auditory hallucinations.
Unfortunately, the steward's reaction and the performance of the couple over there told them that they heard correctly, and they were not dreaming.
I saw the plainly dressed man say to the manager very imposingly: "Pingshen. This time, I will bring my wife and children for a private visit. Everything can be kept simple, and there is no need to be so polite."
Queen Tong also said in her soft and graceful voice: "What the emperor said is that this time, since we are wearing casual clothes, we are here to observe the people's sentiments. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be too cautious because of our existence." .”
The farmers' eyes widened for a moment, this, this, is it possible, or is it true?
The farmers glanced at the little princess whose forehead was covered with sweat due to continuous running, and the fourth elder brother who was working with a hoe and had mud spots on his face at some point, and suddenly felt a little stressed .
"How about, please let the eighth princess and the fourth elder brother rest aside. If the princess and elder brother have any questions, just ask us, and we will answer in detail." A man who can read a few words and is a man The farmer, who was still considered clever, came to the empress and the stewards of Zhuangzi, and carefully asked for instructions.
Princess and prince, who can afford it!
The steward quite agreed with the farmer's words: "The eighth princess and the fourth elder brother have been helping in the field for so long. The two young masters are concerned about farming and are willing to share the joys and sorrows of the farmers. The younger ones know all about it. Please also please the emperor Let the two little masters stop. The little masters grew up in the palace with gold and jade, no more than us rough people who have been used to doing farm work since childhood."
However, Kangxi said: "I and the Empress did not ask them to help the farmers, they took the initiative to help the farmers. Since they have decided to help the farmers, they naturally have to stick to it. How can they give up halfway after doing it for a while? Just right , let them experience what kind of life the farmers live on weekdays."
Queen Tong stood beside him and nodded in agreement.
As a result, the farmers started the habit of looking at the hoe, the rice, the basket, and then at Qionghua and Yinzhen.
Since knowing their true identities, when facing them, my mood is different.For example, just now, when Qionghua bounced around to deliver things to the farmers, the farmers thought this little girl was really lively and a good person.But now, seeing the same situation, they were a little worried that Qionghua would lose his footing and fall.
In front of Yinzhen, the same is true.Originally, apart from giving Yinzhen a few pointers occasionally, most of the time they ignored Yinzhen.From what they thought, Yinzhen was at most a bit of a fool, but since he was used to doing farm work, then just let him do it, and there wouldn't be any big troubles.Yinzhen wasn't good at shoveling, and they would secretly talk about how nice this young man is, willing to work and knowing how to help others, but a little stupid.
However, after knowing Yinzhen's true identity, the peasants will not think so at all.As for an elder brother, if he knows how to do farm work, he is already very caring. How well can he be expected to do?Now, when they see Yinzhen holding up the hoe, they will be frightened, afraid that Yinzhen will accidentally hurt their hands if he goes down with the hoe.If Elder Brother gets injured while helping them in their fields, how can they explain to the Emperor and Empress!
Yin Zhen, who had been treated in both cold and hot ways, finally put down the hoe in his hand after being stared at by the farmers many times, both openly and secretly, and couldn't continue working.When he left, he also took away his younger sister who was running errands.
Seeing this, the farmers were relieved.
They felt that the total amount of sweat they shed in their whole life might not be as much as this day.
……
The steward learned that the empress and the empress were going to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days, so they sent people to clean the house where they were going to live, and then sent people to come and cook some farm food for them.
One scrambled egg with chopped green onion, one dish of stewed meat, one dish of stir-fried bean sprouts, one dish of fried small yellow croaker, one dish of homemade rice cakes, one cup of chicken soup, four dishes, one soup and one dim sum. The variety of dishes is not as good as it was in the palace. There are so many, but the amount is quite a lot, enough for a family of four to eat.
Just now Qionghua and Yinzhen had been helping in the fields for a long time, and they were also a little hungry. Seeing that the raw materials of these farm dishes are fresh and fragrant, they couldn't help swallowing.
"Your majesty, empress, the two young masters, the conditions in the countryside are poor, the dishes are limited, and the cook who is in charge of cooking can cook a good variety, please don't be disgusted, just eat some. The emperor may consider eating in the evening. It is used by a restaurant near here, and the dishes there are quite famous.”
"When you're away from home, everything is naturally simple. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. If you want to feel like you're in the palace, wouldn't it be a waste of money? There's no need for it." Kangxi said, holding a chopstick and putting it on Qiong In Hua's bowl, seeing her daughter's slightly puffed up cheeks after being fed by herself, she couldn't help showing a smile.After seeing how his daughter and son came to Zhuangzi, he became more and more convinced that he made the right choice.
But Empress Tong, after seeing her daughter accepting Kangxi's feeding with peace of mind, and eating so shamelessly, couldn't help but say a few words to her, and was immediately stopped by Kangxi, who was protecting the calf: "It's hard to come by." Once in the palace, let Jiaojiao relax. We are outside the palace now, and don't pay attention to the rules in the palace. I think Jiaojiao's puffed cheeks are very cute." Like a little squirrel.
"That's right, Er Niang, outside the palace, order whatever you want." Qionghua made a face at Empress Tong, who almost wanted to hit someone.
"By the way, fourth brother, why did you eat so little today? I remember that your appetite is not so small, but the food is not to your liking?" Qionghua suddenly thought of her elder brother who had been sitting by the side but had no sense of presence: "If If you’re not used to it, just tell us, don’t follow the example of the prince’s elder brother, you’ll save face and suffer.”
Yinzhen glanced at her: "Fortunately, Ama, Er Niang and you can all eat these dishes, so naturally I can eat them too."
He wants to save face and suffer, does the prince know that Qionghua is saying this about him behind his back?Yinzhen recalled that the prince always liked to show how much Qionghua respected him in front of his brothers intentionally or unintentionally, and his subordinates couldn't help but pause.
"Since you said that, fourth brother, then I will take it seriously?"
Qionghua said and continued to drive.She is very busy, she has to serve Kangxi and Empress Tong, and from time to time, she will discuss the recipe of a certain dish with Empress Tong, thinking about how to improve it.During this period, Qionghua did not ignore Yinzhen, her eyes would glance at Yinzhen from time to time.
Soon, Qionghua discovered that it wasn't that Yinzhen didn't want to eat the farm food in front of him, but that he simply couldn't enjoy it.His hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly.
Qionghua suddenly had a guess in her heart.
"Fourth brother, is your hand hurt?" Qionghua asked.
Yinzhen looked at the concerned eyes of Kangxi and Queen Tong who suddenly looked over, paused, and said, "No."
"I don't believe it." Qionghua put down the bowl and chopsticks, came to Yinzhen, opened Yinzhen's hand, and saw some blisters, presumably caused by Yinzhen working in the fields all morning.
Kangxi looked at the blisters and said, "It looks like you worked harder this morning than I thought."
"Let me just say, the fourth brother will not stop eating for no reason. Since it is not because the food is not to his appetite, there must be other reasons. Fourth brother, you... You have worked hard. Fortunately, I brought some ointment when I went out, and I finished eating in a while , I'll put it on for you. Now—" Qionghua drew the tone: "Let's accept our love first."
After speaking, Qionghua looked at Kangxi and Empress Tong excitedly: "I'll come first, Ama and Erniang will follow?"
It was a strange experience for Kangxi to directly feed his son food into his mouth.He only did this a few times when the prince was a child.When the prince grew up, he never did this to other brothers and princesses.
Feeding the eldest son made Kangxi feel a little weird.However, when Kangxi saw that Empress Tong agreed, Qionghua looked at him helplessly, with a posture of "If you don't agree, I will cry for you".What else can Kangxi do?Do it!
Yinzhen found that in the blink of an eye, Kangxi, Queen Tong, and Qionghua, the instigator, began to stare at him covetously.Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a shudder down his spine.
He saw Qionghua add a spoonful of food with serving chopsticks, brought it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't be dazed, eat quickly! Follow me, open your mouth, ouch~"
Yin Mo: "..."
No, I don't want to be like this, okay, I feel like I'm going to lose my face!Compared to being fed by his parents and sister, he would rather eat by himself, at most he would eat slower!
Unfortunately, neither Qionghua nor the empress gave him such a chance.
Qionghua has teased her fourth brother countless times in these years, but unfortunately her fourth brother's facial paralysis skills are already very deep, she didn't respond to how she teased her, this once made Qionghua very frustrated.Fortunately, now, she finally found another chance to change the face of the fourth brother, and this time she also dragged Kangxi and Queen Tong into trouble, so that Yinzhen could not easily refuse her request.It is strange that Qionghua would let go of this opportunity so easily!
Empress Tong smiled and took over the job of feeding Yinzhen. She thought that Yinzhen didn't want her to feed him since he was very young, and when he grew up, he didn't act like a baby with her as a mother Now that he finally has a chance to get close to his son openly, Empress Tong will not let it go.Of course she saw the reluctance on Yinzhen's face, but Yinzhen didn't say anything, who knows, right?
After Queen Tong fed her son a few mouthfuls of food, she smiled contentedly.
Yinzhen... Yinzhen feels that he has lost all his face in several lifetimes today.
It's obviously just some blisters on his hand, just pay attention to it, and it's not like his hand is broken, why on earth does he have to accept the food from Ama, Erniang and sister!
Kangxi originally felt a little ashamed about feeding Yinzhen.There is no reason for me to feed such a big son.
As a result, after watching Qionghua and Empress Tong feed Yinzhen, and Yinzhen swallowed those dishes with a blushing face, Kangxi seemed to have found the joy of feeding his son—appreciating his son's face change.
While feeding the meal, Kangxi also had to give Yinzhen a mental blow, saying that he couldn't do this, it was just a meal, how could it make people feel like he was going to be guillotined.Learning to manage emotions and control expressions is also a very important element in becoming a courtier.
Yinzhen's eyes were dull when he heard this, and he mechanically opened his mouth to chew, hoping that this "feeding of love" would end as soon as possible...
In the afternoon, Kangxi and others, led by the steward, wandered around the Zhuangzi, and had a general understanding of the crops on the Zhuangzi.
Fearing that the smell will suffocate your masters, this village mainly produces various crops, and there are no chickens, ducks, or geese.Generally speaking, the Zhuangzi under Qionghua's name has grown gratifyingly, as if it has been protected by heaven.
Kangxi has already started to think about how to move the achievements of Qionghua Zhuangzi outside.He also planted hybrid rice according to the method taught by Qionghua in his own village, and the effect was naturally good.It's just that Qionghua and Kangxi's Zhuangzi are close to each other, and the soil and water are similar. Kangxi doesn't know if there will be any difference in the planting of hybrid rice and the growth of crops in other cities and provinces.
Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen who had been tortured miserably by the three of them just now, and thought, the planting of hybrid rice was only discovered by God entrusting Jiaojiao with a dream.Why not leave the promotion of hybrid rice to Jiaojiao's elder brother Yinzhen.
Firstly, the two brothers and sisters have always had a good relationship, so it would be convenient for Yinzhen to communicate with Jiaojiao, and secondly, this is an achievement that benefits the country and the people.
Yinzhen didn't know that Kangxi had already started arranging things for him to do.Seeing these gratifying crops, he thought of those years when he took the exam in the study room, and instinctively began to think that once the appearance of hybrid rice was known to the tutors in the study room, they would definitely come up with some related questions , For example, how to promote hybrid rice in a specific region and province, increase local crop production, and reduce the situation of local people starving and freezing...
Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help being fascinated, thinking about which methods to use to solve this matter.
Yinzhen, who went with Kangxi, did not expect that this time, he would really face this exam question.However, the person who gave him the question was no longer the Taifu who went to the study, but Kangxi.
As for Empress Tong, she couldn't get involved in state affairs, and Kangxi would not let her care about them. She simply took her little girl to help her consider how to plant hybrid rice on her own farm.
Qionghua said: "Actually, Erniang's village is backed by hot springs, and the temperature is higher than ordinary places. Vegetables and fruits can be grown, so we don't have to worry about no vegetables to eat in winter."
No need, as soon as you discover the benefits of hybrid rice, you will all go to plant hybrid rice, right?Other crops are also needed.
What's more, Qionghua didn't think her mother would be short of food.
Queen Tong thought about it, yes, so she said to Qionghua: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. You are better at this, I don't know much about it. By the way, the hybrid rice You should tell me about the training method, although there are only a few Zhuangzi under my name, most of them are useless, but your grandfather and uncle may be able to use them!"
Qionghua suddenly realized that probably, perhaps, possibly, she had added a lot of workload to herself, and invisibly cheated herself.
Even her daughter-in-law, who has always loved her the most, wants to squeeze her. Can others think otherwise?
Think carefully.
Overall, the experience of visiting Zhuangzi is good.While admiring the idyllic scenery, several major events were planned. Kangxi expressed his satisfaction, Queen Tong expressed his satisfaction, Yinzhen was immersed in the ocean of learning, pain and happiness, only Qionghua faintly had an ominous premonition .
After visiting Zhuangzi, Qionghua and his party met a group of old women who were working in the fields just now.
After knowing the true identity of Qionghua and the others, the old woman and the others dared not treat them casually like they did at the beginning.
These farmers looked at them with more respect, especially when they looked at Kangxi and Qionghua, the excitement revealed in their eyes could not be hidden.
Qionghua was thinking about the old woman, knowing that it was not easy for her to live alone, so after asking Kangxi for instructions, she rewarded each of their families with 20 taels of silver.
It doesn't look like a lot of money, but it is enough for an ordinary person to use it for one or two years. If you save more, it is possible to use it for three or four years.
Not
These people didn't know the identities of their group, and their praise came from the heart, and it became more and more commendable.
Qionghua is a very lovable child, Kangxi and Queen Tong have always known this.
Therefore, Kangxi and Queen Tong were not at all surprised to see Qionghua mingling like a fish in water among a group of farmers they just met.
Among them, the old woman who was talking to Qionghua liked Qionghua's bright, lively and energetic appearance. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve with trembling hands, and there were two pieces of maltose wrapped in the handkerchief. She handed the maltose to Qionghua : "Come on, kids, eat. I'll tell you more about it later, when you guys move over here."
The maltose has been wrapped and hidden in the sleeves, and it has melted a little. It looks very simple, and it can't be compared with the various exquisite snacks and candies that Qionghua has seen in the palace.But Qionghua could see that this bit of sweetness was very important to the old woman, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so tightly wrapped and carefully treasured by her.
These days, sugar is a precious item for ordinary people.
The old woman was reluctant to eat it herself, Qionghua couldn't figure out why she would give it to herself.
"It's too precious, I can't accept it." Qionghua tried her best to imitate the appearance of an honest peasant girl, and waved at the old woman: "You should eat by yourself."
When the old woman heard the words, her expression darkened.
Someone beside her quietly persuaded Qionghua, "Little girl, just accept it. Old lady Jiang used to keep a piece or two of candy on her body for her little grandson to eat. But a few years ago, old lady Jiang There was a disaster in my hometown, and on the way here, Mrs. Jiang’s little grandson missed him and was kidnapped by a kidnapper... These years, Mrs. Jiang has also had a hard time."
Seeing Qionghua's pensive look, the man knew that although the girl was not very old, she was intelligent, and said, "When Mrs. Jiang's little grandson was kidnapped, he was about your age. Since then , Mrs. Jiang likes children very much, and she is very good to children of your age. Knowing that you are sensible, she doesn't want to accept the candy from her, but if you can accept it, she will probably be able to accept it a little more Share your comfort."
Hearing this, Qionghua walked up to the old woman, took the handkerchief from her hand, opened the handkerchief, took out a candy, didn't dislike the sticky candy, just put it in her mouth.Maltose is very sweet. Although it looks bad, the taste is not bad at all.
Seeing Qionghua eat the candy, the old woman showed a happy expression, and immediately felt a sense of satisfaction.
Then, she saw a big smile on Qionghua's face, she tried her best to stand on her toes, raised her hand high, and sent another candy to her mouth, and said very sensible and obediently: "You eat too!"
The old woman remembered that her little grandson was so well-behaved back then. If there was only one candy, he would refuse to eat it by himself. If he had to have two candies, he would eat one with grandma, and I would eat one. The urge to cry.
She took the candy, put it into her mouth tremblingly, and said to Qionghua: "Good boy, good boy..."
She has never studied, and she rarely communicates with others, so her language is very poor, and she repeats such a sentence over and over again, but Qionghua can feel the emotions emerging in her heart.
She stepped forward and took the initiative to give the old lady who lost her little grandson a hug.
Later, Qionghua learned that the old lady was an old man living alone, and her son was drafted into the army during the San Francisco War, and he was in the team responsible for the crusade against Wu Sangui.In the end, the war was won and Wu Sangui fell, but her son was not able to come back, and even his bones could not be found, and he only received a pension.Later, the old lady's daughter-in-law left early because of overwork, leaving only the old lady and her little grandson to depend on each other... If that's the case, it's fine, anyway, the family has a little property, and there are two acres of land, so the old lady can live in peace The old lady who brought up her little grandson had a hard life in her early years. It was not until these years that she was able to work quickly, and was favored by Qionghua, the manager of the Zhuangzi, who left her to work in the Zhuangzi. Her life was easier. a lot.
The farmers here obviously regard the well-behaved and lovable Qionghua as "one of their own", so they tell her these things.When they thought about it, since Qionghua's family was going to work in Zhuangzi, they would know about it sooner or later, and there was no difference between telling them sooner or later.
After learning about this, Qionghua's originally relaxed and happy mood became a little heavy.
The old lady is not the most miserable of many farmers, she is just one of the unfortunate people.There are many more people who have encountered the same misfortune as her, even worse.
Still, they're trying to get by, struggling to survive.
After losing a lot, they become easily satisfied, and even a small improvement in their lives is enough to make them grateful.
That's why they praised the generous master and steward so much, and when they found that the yield of rice planted according to the master's request had increased sharply, they regarded it as a miracle.
It is precisely because they have been hungry, suffered hunger, and lost too much that they cherish the life they have now.
……
When Yinzhen saw his little sister getting along well with the farmers, he was originally proud and proud from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he deserved to be his sister, and she was so likable.Of course, he himself did not go over to communicate with those farmers, but folded his arms and leaned against the tree.
He is already an adult, but he can't be as lovable as Qionghua.If he walked over to talk to those farmers, it might destroy the beautiful atmosphere. Moreover, he didn't know how to communicate with them. He has never been a person who is good at words.At this point, his sister did much better than him.Of course, Yinzhen was not in a daze, but kept listening to the conversation between Qionghua and those people with his ears up.The younger sister communicated with the farmers for the first time. Such a scene is still worth remembering.
Of course, Yinzhen has to admit that in the exchanges between his sister and those farmers, he himself has deepened his understanding of the people and their life.
In the past, I only listened to the masters talking about how the people were, but it was too one-sided after all.Only when you get in touch with them in person and listen to their parents' short stories, can you really feel what kind of life they are living.
When he heard what happened to the old lady, he was also a little bit embarrassed.When he was in the palace, he always heard that the life of the people outside the palace was hard, and some ancestors once said that the people are suffering when they are prosperous, and the people are suffering when they die.But Yinzhen has never felt too deeply about this. People are always easy to ignore the pain of others.
It is not until today that Yinzhen has a deeper feeling about this.
Fortunately, the old lady seems to have come out of the haze, and now she is full of energy, and the interaction with her sister is also very warm.
Yinzhen expressed his appreciation for his sister's ability to appease people, and then... he was pushed by Kangxi.
I saw that Kangxi, who was looking at Qionghua proudly just now, was full of hatred for iron and steel.
"Your sister is there to learn about people's livelihood and actively communicate with the people in this village. As an elder brother, you have already entered the court and participated in politics, so how can you be lazy? Hurry up and work hard with your sister!" Of course, Kangxi's The original words are a little more subtle than this, but it sums up the meaning.The dissatisfaction in his gaze towards Yinzhen was not fake either.
The disliked Yin Mo: "..."
Soon after, Yinzhen and Qionghua switched maps and appeared in the field at the same time.
I saw golden rice everywhere, and the autumn wind blew, and the rice swayed in mid-air with the wind, which made people happy to see it.
Yinzhen is not someone who has never been out of the palace. When persuading farming, Kangxi would often take a few older brothers with him to deepen their understanding of farming, so as to prevent his son from making troubles in the future. Here comes the joke.Among all the rice fields that Yinzhen has seen, there has never been a rice field that can grow so much rice.
The rice fields in front of him made Yinzhen very moved.He finally understood why Khan Ama took him and Er Niang to Zhuangzi on a special trip, and said that they must not miss this scene before them.If this kind of rice can be planted in every mu of land, then in the future, the common people will no longer have to worry about not having enough food.
Only those who stand here personally and see this scene will understand what kind of feat this is.
And the initiator of this feat was his sister.
Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling a sense of pride and a sense of shame at being compared to his younger sister.
Yinzhen always thought that he had worked hard enough, and now that he was in the court, he could do more things that benefit the people's livelihood.However, the reality is that Yinzhen is still fighting wits and bravery with those old people in Liubu, and they are still criticizing Yinzhen because he is an airborne soldier, but Qionghua has already made some achievements.
With this high-quality and prolific rice, no one can erase the achievements of his sister.Even if his younger sister, as a woman, cannot enter the court to participate in politics, her contribution is by no means smaller than many people in the court.
Like Yinzhen, Empress Tong was also deeply moved.It may not be appropriate to use the word "sentimental".To be precise, Queen Tong was shocked.
It's not that she doesn't know that Qionghua has planted a piece of rice in her Changchun Palace with a yield far exceeding that of ordinary fields, but she only thinks that Qionghua is good at handling these things.At that time, she did not expect what kind of impact her daughter's ability would have on the Qing Dynasty.
It wasn't until today that Empress Tong was brought up to Zhuangzi and stood in front of this golden paddy field that she really realized what her daughter had done.If this method of increasing the yield of rice fields can be promoted and other people can do it, then the Qing Dynasty will be able to store more grain and the people will be able to live more prosperously.
Before this, although Queen Tong did not expressly object to Qionghua's many small actions, she undoubtedly held an attitude of disapproval, thinking that Qionghua was really thankless.But from today onwards, she will no longer think so.Her daughter deserves to be proud of her!
Kangxi leaned into Queen Tong's ear and asked, "Did you see it?"
Empress Tong nodded: "I see."
Kangxi looked at Qionghua with relief: "The children have grown up, in the future, let them have more room for free play."
The farmers on the side did not miss the shocked look in the eyes of Yinzhen and Queen Tong, and they said to the family of four in a somewhat smug tone: "Aren't you dumbfounded? This is the first time we have seen such a growth in the rice field. When there was too much rice, I was dumbfounded. This is the miracle brought to us by Fairy Boy! If the old god hadn’t entrusted the eighth princess with a dream, how could the eighth princess have such a good way to teach us? If it weren’t for the eighth princess Teach us this new planting method, how can we usher in a bumper harvest this year when production in other places has decreased?"
"You are lucky. You caught up with the good time and were recruited at this time. In the future, our life will be better and better."
Although Kangxi, Queen Tong, and Yinzhen didn't communicate much with the farmers, the farmers had a good impression of the family of four because of Princess Qionghua's maximizing their favorability in front of the farmers, and their attitudes were also good. Very enthusiastic, as if they welcome this family to join them.
Even, the old woman who gave Qionghua sugar asked when Qionghua and the others were going to move here officially.
This made Qionghua, who had randomly found an excuse in order to strike up a conversation with them, a little guilty.She thought, before leaving, she must find an opportunity to explain the truth to the old woman, and she couldn't let her wait in vain.Perhaps it was because of the barrenness under her knees, Qionghua felt that the old woman wanted to treat her as her own son and granddaughter.
I don't know what Qionghua said to the farmers, she turned around suddenly, walked up to Yinzhen, dragged Yinzhen away: "Since we are here to experience rural life, why don't we help these people?" Get busy, idle is idle anyway!"
Qionghua caught the disgusted look in Han Ama's eyes when she looked at Yinzhen just now.Qionghua felt that she had to find something for her brother to do, lest her brother be disliked again.
It just so happens that the farmers working in the fields are too busy, so they do what they can to help!
Ever since, Yinzhen, who had no room for objection, was brought to the farmers by Qionghua. After Qionghua introduced them to them, "he is her brother who is not good at words but willing to help others", the farmers were very awkward. accepted him.
Yinzhen is fourteen five years old this year, and he is also an adult. In their opinion, it is indeed the age for him to work hard in the fields.So, they handed the hoe to Yinzhen.Of course, this group of farmers did not have the intention of taking advantage of Yinzhen. Right now they need help, and Yinzhen helped them. In the future, Yinzhen and the others will also come here. When Yinzhen's family is too busy, they will also give Yinzhen Let's help each other.
This is also a form of their mutual help.
Yinzhen, who was driven out of the market and had no room to refute: "..."
What else can I do?It's all about this, my father dislikes him for doing nothing, and my sister cheats on him again, so I can only work honestly?Fortunately, he had learned a little bit of farm work from farmers when he encouraged farming in the spring, otherwise, he didn't know what to do with the farm tools in his hand!
As for Qionghua, although she also enthusiastically expressed her willingness to help, but she is young, and she is a cute little girl. The farmers are reluctant to let her do heavy work, and only occasionally let her help deliver some things and run errands Qionghua had a great time doing it.
The farmers couldn't stop thanking Qionghua. I didn't know how much Qionghua had helped them!In fact, Qionghua is only responsible for communicating with the farmers and doing some light work. Yinzhen is doing both rough and heavy work.
Unfortunately, no one has praised him yet.
Because everyone believed in his character design and felt that he was not good at speaking and didn't like to talk, no one took the initiative to talk to him.
Yin Yun: "..." Not happy.jpg.
He felt like a transparent person.
I shoveled a few more hoes, and suddenly someone ran over in a panic: "Hey, you young man, you seem to be a strong man, why are you so slow to do some work? Let me tell you, you can't shovel like this. , it will damage the rice, it has to be this way, this way, and this way..."
Well, not only did no one come to thank him, but he was also rejected by others.
Kangxi and Queen Tong, who were standing aside, couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
Whether it was the appearance of Qionghua happily running around in the fields, or the appearance of Yinzhen waving a hoe while showing a loveless expression, they all greatly pleased them and made them feel that the trip was worthwhile .
Qionghua dared to send her brother to help the farmers, but she didn't dare to order her A Ma and Er Niang.
Kangxi and Queen Tong are used to being pampered in the air on weekdays, if they are suddenly asked to help with farm work... the scene is so beautiful that Qionghua can't imagine it.Especially Queen Tong, these years, her hands have been kept very soft and delicate, and she hasn't done any heavy work.If Yinzhen is asked to help, he is clumsy, and others will only treat him as a boy and need whipping and admonition from the elders, but if the "old farmers" Kangxi and Queen Tong can't do farm work well, then the people in their family Isn't the assumption about to be punctured all of a sudden?
Qionghua said that she gets along very well with the farmers here and does not want to reveal her true identity for the time being.Otherwise, I'm afraid these people will no longer be able to show such a casual expression when they see him, and they will all be very reserved by then.
Qionghua thought very well. When they were about to leave, they would reveal their identities and reward the farmers here with something they could use.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhuangzi's steward came.
The surrounding farmers hurriedly put away the action of harvesting rice and saluted the steward.
In this Zhuangzi, many things are decided by the steward, and they dare not ignore the steward.However, at this moment, they saw that the steward they respected very much on weekdays actually knelt in front of the family of four who were said to be coming to work in Zhuangzi, and said respectfully to them: "My little one sees the emperor, empress, eight Princess, fourth elder brother! I don’t know that the four masters are here, and it’s too late to greet you, so I hope the emperor will forgive me!”
what?
The manager actually called these newcomers, what about the emperor and the empress?
Is this sweet-mouthed little girl who has been chasing after them the Eighth Princess?That is obviously a beautiful and lovely girl next door!And over there, the one who was disliked for helping harvest rice in the fields, is the fourth elder brother?That's clearly a born burly fool!
These farmers working in the fields felt that they were either dreaming or had auditory hallucinations.
Unfortunately, the steward's reaction and the performance of the couple over there told them that they heard correctly, and they were not dreaming.
I saw the plainly dressed man say to the manager very imposingly: "Pingshen. This time, I will bring my wife and children for a private visit. Everything can be kept simple, and there is no need to be so polite."
Queen Tong also said in her soft and graceful voice: "What the emperor said is that this time, since we are wearing casual clothes, we are here to observe the people's sentiments. You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be too cautious because of our existence." .”
The farmers' eyes widened for a moment, this, this, is it possible, or is it true?
The farmers glanced at the little princess whose forehead was covered with sweat due to continuous running, and the fourth elder brother who was working with a hoe and had mud spots on his face at some point, and suddenly felt a little stressed .
"How about, please let the eighth princess and the fourth elder brother rest aside. If the princess and elder brother have any questions, just ask us, and we will answer in detail." A man who can read a few words and is a man The farmer, who was still considered clever, came to the empress and the stewards of Zhuangzi, and carefully asked for instructions.
Princess and prince, who can afford it!
The steward quite agreed with the farmer's words: "The eighth princess and the fourth elder brother have been helping in the field for so long. The two young masters are concerned about farming and are willing to share the joys and sorrows of the farmers. The younger ones know all about it. Please also please the emperor Let the two little masters stop. The little masters grew up in the palace with gold and jade, no more than us rough people who have been used to doing farm work since childhood."
However, Kangxi said: "I and the Empress did not ask them to help the farmers, they took the initiative to help the farmers. Since they have decided to help the farmers, they naturally have to stick to it. How can they give up halfway after doing it for a while? Just right , let them experience what kind of life the farmers live on weekdays."
Queen Tong stood beside him and nodded in agreement.
As a result, the farmers started the habit of looking at the hoe, the rice, the basket, and then at Qionghua and Yinzhen.
Since knowing their true identities, when facing them, my mood is different.For example, just now, when Qionghua bounced around to deliver things to the farmers, the farmers thought this little girl was really lively and a good person.But now, seeing the same situation, they were a little worried that Qionghua would lose his footing and fall.
In front of Yinzhen, the same is true.Originally, apart from giving Yinzhen a few pointers occasionally, most of the time they ignored Yinzhen.From what they thought, Yinzhen was at most a bit of a fool, but since he was used to doing farm work, then just let him do it, and there wouldn't be any big troubles.Yinzhen wasn't good at shoveling, and they would secretly talk about how nice this young man is, willing to work and knowing how to help others, but a little stupid.
However, after knowing Yinzhen's true identity, the peasants will not think so at all.As for an elder brother, if he knows how to do farm work, he is already very caring. How well can he be expected to do?Now, when they see Yinzhen holding up the hoe, they will be frightened, afraid that Yinzhen will accidentally hurt their hands if he goes down with the hoe.If Elder Brother gets injured while helping them in their fields, how can they explain to the Emperor and Empress!
Yin Zhen, who had been treated in both cold and hot ways, finally put down the hoe in his hand after being stared at by the farmers many times, both openly and secretly, and couldn't continue working.When he left, he also took away his younger sister who was running errands.
Seeing this, the farmers were relieved.
They felt that the total amount of sweat they shed in their whole life might not be as much as this day.
……
The steward learned that the empress and the empress were going to stay in Zhuangzi for a few days, so they sent people to clean the house where they were going to live, and then sent people to come and cook some farm food for them.
One scrambled egg with chopped green onion, one dish of stewed meat, one dish of stir-fried bean sprouts, one dish of fried small yellow croaker, one dish of homemade rice cakes, one cup of chicken soup, four dishes, one soup and one dim sum. The variety of dishes is not as good as it was in the palace. There are so many, but the amount is quite a lot, enough for a family of four to eat.
Just now Qionghua and Yinzhen had been helping in the fields for a long time, and they were also a little hungry. Seeing that the raw materials of these farm dishes are fresh and fragrant, they couldn't help swallowing.
"Your majesty, empress, the two young masters, the conditions in the countryside are poor, the dishes are limited, and the cook who is in charge of cooking can cook a good variety, please don't be disgusted, just eat some. The emperor may consider eating in the evening. It is used by a restaurant near here, and the dishes there are quite famous.”
"When you're away from home, everything is naturally simple. I don't think there's anything wrong with this. If you want to feel like you're in the palace, wouldn't it be a waste of money? There's no need for it." Kangxi said, holding a chopstick and putting it on Qiong In Hua's bowl, seeing her daughter's slightly puffed up cheeks after being fed by herself, she couldn't help showing a smile.After seeing how his daughter and son came to Zhuangzi, he became more and more convinced that he made the right choice.
But Empress Tong, after seeing her daughter accepting Kangxi's feeding with peace of mind, and eating so shamelessly, couldn't help but say a few words to her, and was immediately stopped by Kangxi, who was protecting the calf: "It's hard to come by." Once in the palace, let Jiaojiao relax. We are outside the palace now, and don't pay attention to the rules in the palace. I think Jiaojiao's puffed cheeks are very cute." Like a little squirrel.
"That's right, Er Niang, outside the palace, order whatever you want." Qionghua made a face at Empress Tong, who almost wanted to hit someone.
"By the way, fourth brother, why did you eat so little today? I remember that your appetite is not so small, but the food is not to your liking?" Qionghua suddenly thought of her elder brother who had been sitting by the side but had no sense of presence: "If If you’re not used to it, just tell us, don’t follow the example of the prince’s elder brother, you’ll save face and suffer.”
Yinzhen glanced at her: "Fortunately, Ama, Er Niang and you can all eat these dishes, so naturally I can eat them too."
He wants to save face and suffer, does the prince know that Qionghua is saying this about him behind his back?Yinzhen recalled that the prince always liked to show how much Qionghua respected him in front of his brothers intentionally or unintentionally, and his subordinates couldn't help but pause.
"Since you said that, fourth brother, then I will take it seriously?"
Qionghua said and continued to drive.She is very busy, she has to serve Kangxi and Empress Tong, and from time to time, she will discuss the recipe of a certain dish with Empress Tong, thinking about how to improve it.During this period, Qionghua did not ignore Yinzhen, her eyes would glance at Yinzhen from time to time.
Soon, Qionghua discovered that it wasn't that Yinzhen didn't want to eat the farm food in front of him, but that he simply couldn't enjoy it.His hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly.
Qionghua suddenly had a guess in her heart.
"Fourth brother, is your hand hurt?" Qionghua asked.
Yinzhen looked at the concerned eyes of Kangxi and Queen Tong who suddenly looked over, paused, and said, "No."
"I don't believe it." Qionghua put down the bowl and chopsticks, came to Yinzhen, opened Yinzhen's hand, and saw some blisters, presumably caused by Yinzhen working in the fields all morning.
Kangxi looked at the blisters and said, "It looks like you worked harder this morning than I thought."
"Let me just say, the fourth brother will not stop eating for no reason. Since it is not because the food is not to his appetite, there must be other reasons. Fourth brother, you... You have worked hard. Fortunately, I brought some ointment when I went out, and I finished eating in a while , I'll put it on for you. Now—" Qionghua drew the tone: "Let's accept our love first."
After speaking, Qionghua looked at Kangxi and Empress Tong excitedly: "I'll come first, Ama and Erniang will follow?"
It was a strange experience for Kangxi to directly feed his son food into his mouth.He only did this a few times when the prince was a child.When the prince grew up, he never did this to other brothers and princesses.
Feeding the eldest son made Kangxi feel a little weird.However, when Kangxi saw that Empress Tong agreed, Qionghua looked at him helplessly, with a posture of "If you don't agree, I will cry for you".What else can Kangxi do?Do it!
Yinzhen found that in the blink of an eye, Kangxi, Queen Tong, and Qionghua, the instigator, began to stare at him covetously.Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a shudder down his spine.
He saw Qionghua add a spoonful of food with serving chopsticks, brought it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, don't be dazed, eat quickly! Follow me, open your mouth, ouch~"
Yin Mo: "..."
No, I don't want to be like this, okay, I feel like I'm going to lose my face!Compared to being fed by his parents and sister, he would rather eat by himself, at most he would eat slower!
Unfortunately, neither Qionghua nor the empress gave him such a chance.
Qionghua has teased her fourth brother countless times in these years, but unfortunately her fourth brother's facial paralysis skills are already very deep, she didn't respond to how she teased her, this once made Qionghua very frustrated.Fortunately, now, she finally found another chance to change the face of the fourth brother, and this time she also dragged Kangxi and Queen Tong into trouble, so that Yinzhen could not easily refuse her request.It is strange that Qionghua would let go of this opportunity so easily!
Empress Tong smiled and took over the job of feeding Yinzhen. She thought that Yinzhen didn't want her to feed him since he was very young, and when he grew up, he didn't act like a baby with her as a mother Now that he finally has a chance to get close to his son openly, Empress Tong will not let it go.Of course she saw the reluctance on Yinzhen's face, but Yinzhen didn't say anything, who knows, right?
After Queen Tong fed her son a few mouthfuls of food, she smiled contentedly.
Yinzhen... Yinzhen feels that he has lost all his face in several lifetimes today.
It's obviously just some blisters on his hand, just pay attention to it, and it's not like his hand is broken, why on earth does he have to accept the food from Ama, Erniang and sister!
Kangxi originally felt a little ashamed about feeding Yinzhen.There is no reason for me to feed such a big son.
As a result, after watching Qionghua and Empress Tong feed Yinzhen, and Yinzhen swallowed those dishes with a blushing face, Kangxi seemed to have found the joy of feeding his son—appreciating his son's face change.
While feeding the meal, Kangxi also had to give Yinzhen a mental blow, saying that he couldn't do this, it was just a meal, how could it make people feel like he was going to be guillotined.Learning to manage emotions and control expressions is also a very important element in becoming a courtier.
Yinzhen's eyes were dull when he heard this, and he mechanically opened his mouth to chew, hoping that this "feeding of love" would end as soon as possible...
In the afternoon, Kangxi and others, led by the steward, wandered around the Zhuangzi, and had a general understanding of the crops on the Zhuangzi.
Fearing that the smell will suffocate your masters, this village mainly produces various crops, and there are no chickens, ducks, or geese.Generally speaking, the Zhuangzi under Qionghua's name has grown gratifyingly, as if it has been protected by heaven.
Kangxi has already started to think about how to move the achievements of Qionghua Zhuangzi outside.He also planted hybrid rice according to the method taught by Qionghua in his own village, and the effect was naturally good.It's just that Qionghua and Kangxi's Zhuangzi are close to each other, and the soil and water are similar. Kangxi doesn't know if there will be any difference in the planting of hybrid rice and the growth of crops in other cities and provinces.
Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen who had been tortured miserably by the three of them just now, and thought, the planting of hybrid rice was only discovered by God entrusting Jiaojiao with a dream.Why not leave the promotion of hybrid rice to Jiaojiao's elder brother Yinzhen.
Firstly, the two brothers and sisters have always had a good relationship, so it would be convenient for Yinzhen to communicate with Jiaojiao, and secondly, this is an achievement that benefits the country and the people.
Yinzhen didn't know that Kangxi had already started arranging things for him to do.Seeing these gratifying crops, he thought of those years when he took the exam in the study room, and instinctively began to think that once the appearance of hybrid rice was known to the tutors in the study room, they would definitely come up with some related questions , For example, how to promote hybrid rice in a specific region and province, increase local crop production, and reduce the situation of local people starving and freezing...
Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help being fascinated, thinking about which methods to use to solve this matter.
Yinzhen, who went with Kangxi, did not expect that this time, he would really face this exam question.However, the person who gave him the question was no longer the Taifu who went to the study, but Kangxi.
As for Empress Tong, she couldn't get involved in state affairs, and Kangxi would not let her care about them. She simply took her little girl to help her consider how to plant hybrid rice on her own farm.
Qionghua said: "Actually, Erniang's village is backed by hot springs, and the temperature is higher than ordinary places. Vegetables and fruits can be grown, so we don't have to worry about no vegetables to eat in winter."
No need, as soon as you discover the benefits of hybrid rice, you will all go to plant hybrid rice, right?Other crops are also needed.
What's more, Qionghua didn't think her mother would be short of food.
Queen Tong thought about it, yes, so she said to Qionghua: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. You are better at this, I don't know much about it. By the way, the hybrid rice You should tell me about the training method, although there are only a few Zhuangzi under my name, most of them are useless, but your grandfather and uncle may be able to use them!"
Qionghua suddenly realized that probably, perhaps, possibly, she had added a lot of workload to herself, and invisibly cheated herself.
Even her daughter-in-law, who has always loved her the most, wants to squeeze her. Can others think otherwise?
Think carefully.
Overall, the experience of visiting Zhuangzi is good.While admiring the idyllic scenery, several major events were planned. Kangxi expressed his satisfaction, Queen Tong expressed his satisfaction, Yinzhen was immersed in the ocean of learning, pain and happiness, only Qionghua faintly had an ominous premonition .
After visiting Zhuangzi, Qionghua and his party met a group of old women who were working in the fields just now.
After knowing the true identity of Qionghua and the others, the old woman and the others dared not treat them casually like they did at the beginning.
These farmers looked at them with more respect, especially when they looked at Kangxi and Qionghua, the excitement revealed in their eyes could not be hidden.
Qionghua was thinking about the old woman, knowing that it was not easy for her to live alone, so after asking Kangxi for instructions, she rewarded each of their families with 20 taels of silver.
It doesn't look like a lot of money, but it is enough for an ordinary person to use it for one or two years. If you save more, it is possible to use it for three or four years.
