[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

"Is this something made by the fourth child?" Kangxi looked at the things placed on the three plates in front of him, two of them were lumps, and the soil on them had been washed clean, revealing a light red or yellowish-brown skin. It doesn't look small.The other one is in the shape of a long stick, covered with layers of green skin, and there are still a few drops of crystal dew left. It can be seen that it has just been picked off. The top skin has been peeled off in half, revealing the yellow-orange-orange inside. full particles.

It turned out that Yinzhen, who had been living in seclusion for a long time, actually went to farm. Kangxi thought it was just to pass the time, but he didn't pay much attention after hearing about it.After all, compared to other sons who keep jumping up and down and never forget to find a sense of presence, it is rare to have a rest. Although staying in the mansion is not doing a proper job, either reciting the scriptures or plowing the land, which is not a prince's dignity. After all, it makes Kangxi feel better , at least there is a son who doesn't care about the position under his ass.Speaking of this, I have to say that Kangxi is so naive. It's not that people don't care about it, it's just that they don't care about it obviously.But believing in Kangxi doesn't mean taking it all seriously, it's just self-consolation, willing to believe what you see and hear.

Anyway, after seeing these results now, Kangxi felt very different in his heart. He felt that Yinzhen didn't just stay in the mansion all day and do nothing, at least he did some serious business, and the things he planted knew how to be filial to him. Huang Ama.

"Back to Lord Long Live, it was produced in Prince Yong's mansion. Prince Yong said that this is the first crop, but it is just ready to eat, so let Lord Long Live taste it first. After a long time, this potato and sweet potato can be eaten again. When it grows up, the grains of the corn will be more plump." Liang Jiugong passed on the words from Prince Yong's Mansion.

After hearing this, Kangxi's complexion gradually turned serious, and there was also a hint of contemplation on his face. He fixedly stared at the three dishes in front of him. He thought that the current weight was already considered gratifying, but it could grow even bigger from this meaning. , I just don’t know how the stuff imported from overseas tastes, what is the yield, whether to choose a place, whether it is easy to cultivate, as an emperor, Kangxi thought more deeply at the first time, and a series of questions immediately emerged in his heart.

Kangxi had heard about these three crops that came in from overseas. It was said that the people in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and the surrounding areas of the northeast would plant some of them to feed themselves. I want to come to the general taste.Anyway, this is the first time I have seen it, but since Yinzhen specially presented it to show that this thing has some value.

"How can I eat it?"

"The most basic steaming and cooking can be eaten, and it can also be used as a dish. Prince Yong also specially prepared a cook who can do it. Long Live Lord will summon you."

Kangxi pondered for a moment before saying: "There is no hurry, take the ordinary clothes and go to Yonghe Palace." Kangxi will do whatever comes to his mind.

Then Jiang Yingrong, who was lying on the bed and enjoying the massage with her eyes closed, was dragged up by Kangxi, who urged her to change into an ordinary dress, and dragged Jiang Yingrong out of the palace before she recovered her senses.This sudden decision made Liang Jiugong very busy, and he arranged guards non-stop, for fear that something might go wrong.

So on the bright side, Kangxi and Jiang Yingrong sat in the carriage, Liang Jiugong dressed up as a housekeeper and sat on the shaft of the carriage, with a beard glued on, and beside him was the driver driving the carriage, secretly followed by dozens of guards with high martial arts skills, All eyes are watching six ways, ears are listening to all directions, and the eyes are alert, protecting everything.

Jiang Yingrong opened the curtain with great interest, admiring the hustle and bustle outside. Speaking of which, it was the first time to walk on the street outside the palace after coming here for more than ten years. Interested, he stared intently, even ignoring Kangxi who was sitting beside him.

Kangxi looked at someone who had been ignoring him since he left the palace, coughed lightly but failed to attract someone's attention, so he simply pulled Jiang Yingrong's hand and gently held it in his hand, "Madam, why don't you go down for a walk?" Although it was a question The tone, but with affirmation, this is to play the role of an ordinary couple going shopping and having fun.

Jiang Yingrong was finally willing to turn her head back, and smiled slightly: "I listen to you."

Then the two got off the carriage in the busiest East Market. The two of them only dressed in ordinary clothes, but they seemed to have a natural aura along the way. For the gentleman and wife with outstanding temperament, especially that lady is really beautiful.

Dongshi is the busiest market in the capital. At this time, there are cries of hawking along the street, the sound of restaurants attracting customers, and the smell of various snacks and food. Being in the world of fireworks, one can't help but relax one's mind.Seeing novelty gadgets, I couldn’t help but buy one or two, or buy some fresh snacks to try. Kangxi and Jiang Yingrong strolled comfortably in the front, but Liang Jiugong in the back was a little bit hard, not only had to pay for it, After a while, there were a lot of things hanging on my body and hands, like a mobile grocery store.Eunuch Liang really regretted that there were not many people with him on the surface. Who knew that his master would think that he would go shopping halfway!

After walking for about half an hour, the two of them got used to being pampered and felt a little tired. Kangxi seemed to have no intention of suggesting: "This place is not far from Lao Si's house, why don't you go to his house to rest and see what's going on recently?" What are you doing in the mansion?"

Jiang Yingrong curled her lips in her heart, pretend, you can pretend vigorously, who doesn't know that the destination of leaving the palace suddenly today is Prince Yong's Mansion, isn't it tiring to go around such a big circle!

"Should I send someone to inform me in advance?" Jiang Yingrong pretended not to know, but suggested that she was worried that her son's family would be caught off guard by the sudden visit.

"It's okay, just go and have a look. I also want to see the new things in his mansion for myself." What Kangxi wants is to be surprised. It's just a matter of talking, after all, the difference between the two is huge.

Jiang Yingrong said: I know you are holding back!There was also a hint of curiosity on the surface.

The two got on the carriage again, wandered around and soon arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion. Liang Jiugong knocked on the door, and the concierge saw that it was the famous Eunuch Liang, and there was an ordinary carriage parked outside. Guessing who was sitting inside, he quickly ordered someone to open the middle door, unloaded the threshold, knelt aside to greet him, and the carriage went straight into the middle door.

The informer trotted all the way, panting and reporting to Yinzhen who was tending the precious crops on the front foot, Kangxi took Jiang Yingrong to the temporary crop planting place in the back garden on the back foot.

Yinzhen, who was wearing a straw hat, hurried forward to pay his respects regardless of the mud still on his hands.

What Kangxi saw when he arrived was Yinzhen, dressed in light clothes, who had just come out of the field.Behind him there is a neat bunch of stem-shaped plants taller than a person, each of which is hung with heavy corn cobs, and the two adjacent fields are also neatly divided into several ridges, with unknown stems and leaves growing lushly on them, very is exuberant.Straw hats, bunts, and crops, at first glance, they really seem to belong to the garden.There is another Fujia who is almost dressed up next to him, also wearing a small straw hat, with a little mud on his white and tender face, and the father and daughter look quite harmonious standing together.

"To Huang Ama, Er Niang, please greet me!"

"To Huang Mafa, please greet Huang Mama!" Fu Jiaduan bowed upright, but the current attire seemed really unsuitable, and Jiang Yingrong laughed and pulled the little girl to her side.

On the face, he blamed Yinzhen: "You want to farm, why do you let a little girl like Fujia follow you?"

Before Yinzhen could answer, Fujia boldly said coquettishly: "Mama Mama, it is Fujia who insists on following Ama. The field is so interesting, it is much more interesting than studying and learning the rules." When it comes to studying and learning the rules, Fujia Frowning like a little adult, he clearly expressed his dislike, and then he did not forget to claim credit: "The corn given to Huang Mafa and Huang Mama this morning was also picked by Fujia with Ama, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes were also picked by Fujia. I can’t dig it, but I helped Ama pick it up!”

Looking at Fujia who was begging for praise with sparkling eyes, Jiang Yingrong took out a handkerchief and wiped the dirt on the little girl's face, and praised with dignity: "Fujia is really amazing!" I can't help it, if there is a tail, I'm afraid it will be wagging involuntarily at this moment.

Kangxi had already been supported by Yinzhen who had wiped his hands and walked to the front to look at the crops, "Is this corn?"

"Huihuang Ama, it's corn." Yinzhen also deliberately chose a corn ear and peeled off a layer of skin to reveal the full grains inside.

Kangxi nodded, then turned to look at the two fields next to him, "Which one is sweet potato and which is potato?"

"The stem and leaf in the middle grow sweet potatoes, and the one on the side grows potatoes."

"How long will it take for these to mature?"

"It will take about one more month for the harvest to mature." Yinzhen has the air of a two-point crop expert.

"You have gained some experience in farming while hiding at home." Kangxi looked at the gratifying growth of a small piece of lush and lush crops, and suddenly felt two points of joy that the harvest was about to be harvested, but there was a little teasing in his words.

Yinzhen was ashamed when he heard this, "I only realized the hard work and worry of the people when I planted the crops. I wish I could treat each of these small crops as treasures. When it rains, I worry that the rain will be too watery. If it doesn't rain, I will be happy again." Worried about drought, watering quickly, weeding, fertilizing, loosening soil and pruning, everything is indispensable, if you don’t pay attention to it, the growth is not good, and sometimes it will die, which makes people feel distressed. Erchen just planted a small piece Even if the land is so exhausting, wouldn’t it be even harder for the people to work as hard as a few acres or as many as tens of acres? But despite such hard work, there are still many people who don’t have enough food and clothing. Parents are kind, sons and ministers are the kind of people who know the suffering of the people." As he spoke, Yinzhen revealed a sense of powerlessness, these words are Yinzhen's real experience in the past half a year, and they cannot be faked.

The atmosphere was dull for a while, Kangxi squinted at the small piece of crops in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said after a long time: "You are fine! I am very happy."

Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and before he had time to think about the deep meaning, Kangxi changed the subject: "Today I also come to experience the joy of farming, and taste the crops you planted with your own mother." There is food left in Yinzhen's mansion.

Immediately the atmosphere turned for the better. With the help of Yinzhen, Kangxi broke off seven or eight ears of corn first, and then picked up the hoe with great interest to dig sweet potatoes and potatoes himself, but Kangxi, who had never done such a job, was After digging up several sweet potatoes, he gradually found the trick, and finally dug up a good nest of sweet potatoes, which saved his precarious face.
