When King Yang rushed to Dongshan Village from the capital in the wind and snow, what he saw was this: in the snow like a sculpture of ice, a giant silver-gray wolf was pulling a small The sled raced through the snow. Sitting on the sled was a small figure wrapped in a red cloak, and the snow-white down on the brim of the hat was blown backward by the wind.
Behind the sled, two little ones, one black and one white, were chasing the sled in the snow with difficulty, uttering "owoo-" from time to time. Encountering a deeper snowdrift, the two little wolves disappeared in an instant, then got out from the other side of the snowdrift, and continued to run after the sled.
The little girl on the sled, with a flushed face, let out a laugh that was more pleasing than a silver bell, falling into the forest, like a mountain elf, so dazzling, so eye-catching...
"Second Sister, let me sit for a while, let me sit for a while!" Seeing the sled turning a corner, Xiao Shitou rushed towards this side, jumped over and waved his hands excitedly.
Yu Xiaocao stopped Da Hui, jumped off the sled, let the younger brother sit on it, took off the cloak and was about to put it on him. Xiaoshi wrinkled his nose and glanced at the red cloak, and hurriedly said, "Second Sister, I have a rabbit fur hat and scarf, so I don't need to wear a cloak!"
This cloak was brought back from the capital by Xiaocao's godfather, Fang Fangzhen. It is said that Mrs. Jiang sewed it by himself, and it is hard to find. But such a gorgeous color is only suitable for little girls to wear. Little Shitou thinks he is a little man and firmly resists girls' things.
"If you don't wear it, I won't let Da Hui pull you!" Yu Xiaocao threatened. In the end her threat worked, Little Stone put on the cloak reluctantly, and sat on the sled with a bit of embarrassment pouted.
Big Hui saw that there was a change of people behind him, so he didn't have the energy to spare, and walked slowly on the snow, no matter how the small stones drove him, he kept his pace at a leisurely pace.
Even so, Liu Fangping watched enviously, followed the sled for a few steps, and begged Brother Shitou in a low voice to let him sit for a while too! Even if he sits for a short while, he has the capital to brag to his friends in the village: Have you ever seen dog sleds, horse-drawn sleds, or sleds pulled by wolves? Not only has he seen it, but he has also sat on it!
At this time, Yu Xiaocao had already seen the tall and straight figure standing in the snow leading the horse. He was dressed in a pale purple gold brocade robe, with an indigo animal-pattern brocade belt tied around his waist, his flowing hair was tied up slightly with brocade of the same color, and his slightly raised phoenix eyes seemed to be stained with frost and snow. . With a slender figure, he stands beside the black steed. The snow-white mountains become his background, and it seems that he is the only protagonist in the world.
Yu Xiaocao stepped on the deerskin boots and ran two steps towards the Xiaojun Wang, but got stuck in the snow, swayed a few times, and lay face down on the snow.
Zhu Junyang's expression changed slightly, he let go of the rein in his hand, flew to Yu Xiaocao's side, and picked her up who was struggling in the snow with one hand.
"Pfft—" Zhu Junyang laughed unscrupulously. The little girl's head and face were covered with snow, and she seemed to have a white beard around her mouth, she looked very funny.
Yu Xiaocao struggled a few times in his hands, and her feet finally fell to the ground. She brushed off the snow from her head with her sleeves, rolled her eyes at the little king, and said angrily: "Young king, you are brave in the wind and snow. You came here from the capital just to see my jokes, right?"
Zhu Junyang stretched out his hand to blow off a cluster of snowflakes on her head, and said with a smile, "Of course not! However, I am very happy to receive such a big gift as soon as we meet."
Yu Xiaocao knocked off his hand, and said angrily, "Tell me, is there anything important for your old man to come to Dongshan Village?"
"Is my father very old? My father is only seventeen years old this year, and he is in full bloom..." Zhu Junyang touched his cheek, it was quite elastic!
Yu Xiaocao rolled his eyes at him, and said: "You are seven years older than me, how can you say you are not old? When I was in my twenties, you were already in your thirties; when I have thirty-one flowers, you are already Forty tofu dregs. Do you think you are old?"
Zhu Junyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did I hear the emperor say 'men have thirty-one flowers, women have thirty tofu dregs'? Did you remember it wrong?"
Yu Xiaocao jumped up and said, "That's not it! Women have taken good care of themselves, there is no difference between 30 and 20! Men don't pay attention to maintenance, especially if you run out all the year round and are exposed to the wind and sun, it is easier to age What is it if it’s not bean curd residue?”
Zhu Junyang raised his head arrogantly, and said: "You stinky girl with no eyesight! You are a golden bachelor who ranks first or second in the capital. How many ladies from famous families want to attract your attention, but you are all ignored by him. That is to say, when you are forty years old, He is also the fifth diamond king!"
"Diamond King Laowu" is also heard from my cousin, which means a very attractive and valuable single man. Zhu Junyang looked at the yellow-haired girl who looked like bean sprouts with disgust. When this girl was able to marry at the age of sixteen, the master was only twenty-three years old, so how could she be tofu
Yu Xiaocao looked him up and down in disbelief, curled her lips, and said, "Little Duke, you are not so boring, you just ran to Dongshan Village to show how popular you are in the capital, right?"
Zhu Junyang nodded, and said: "Master is indeed not so boring! Didn't you ask when your family's reward will arrive last time? Master first come here to let you know. Good wine gets better and better with age. Wait patiently, there will be a big Surprises are waiting for you!"
After retiring from the court that day, the emperor specially called him to the imperial study room, saying that the little girl of the Yu family was too young. Although there are examples in history of worshiping the prime minister at the age of nine, the girl's gender is there, and the court is quite stubborn. Take it step by step.
It means that next year, the Yu family will be asked to cultivate more improved corn varieties in the court of the Tanggu Gang, and a large number of fertile fields will be opened up in the suburbs of Beijing. The little girl will be invited to serve as a guide and help plant corn and potatoes. If there is a bumper harvest next year, the corn seeds can be promoted step by step, and the common people can eat their stomachs to appreciate the benefits of the court, then the reward will come naturally.
If the little girl is really talented in planting and can improve high-yielding wheat seeds and rice seeds, that would be a great contribution! At that time, let alone a seventh-rank small farm official, she can afford even a higher-rank official position!
Yu Xiaocao heard the words of Xiaojun Wang, and said with a little excitement: "What surprises? Are there countless gold, silver, jewels, silk and satin?"
"No prospect! That's all you're pursuing?" Zhu Junyang gave her a disdainful look, and said, "Don't your family want to change your status as a farmer and suddenly become an official?"
Yu Xiaocao became even more excited, lowered her voice and said cautiously: "Could it be... the emperor will make us a small official?"
"Of course, at least he's a seventh-rank official!" Although Zhu Junyang looked down upon junior seventh-rank officials, mosquitoes are meat even though they are small, and they can walk sideways in Dongshan Village.
Yu Xiaocao was quite satisfied, she couldn't stop laughing like a cat that ate a small fish. Seventh-rank official, isn't that at the same level as the county magistrate? In addition, their family has a godfather and a small county king as backers, and the county magistrate will treat them with three points of courtesy in the future!
Zhu Junyang also revealed to the little girl that the emperor asked him to grow corn next year, and told him: "My lord has asked people to pay attention to whether there is any fertile land near the town for sale. Next year, at least one hundred acres of corn will be planted in Tanggu Town."
"What? One hundred acres?? There are only a dozen people in our family, most of whom are minors. Are you trying to exhaust our pace?" Yu Xiaocao protested solemnly.
Zhu Junyang naturally thought of this question, and said: "What are you talking about? The spring is just when the spring is in its infancy. Do you think that there are so many villages in Tanggu Town just like your Dongshan Village, who can dig sea intestines to make money? People with spare money are still Very few, at that time, there will definitely be a group of people who use their labor to make money. At that time, you can hire more people to farm, and the money for hiring people will be reimbursed by the Lord!"
Yu Xiaocao blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes flickered, smiled slyly, and said, "Then...will the imperial court still buy the corn at a high price?"
Zhu Junyang knocked a chestnut on her head, and said: "You girl, you can't get out of the money! When has the master ever treated you badly? Alright! The master traveled thousands of miles to report the good news to you, so you let the master treat you badly. Standing in the snow and drinking the wind?"
Yu Xiaocao muttered in a low voice: "What good news, what about the disappearance, so you came here to claim credit? You must be thinking about my Grasshopper Sauce!"
Zhu Junyang has a special liking for Yujia's grasshopper sauce, whether it is fried or fermented, he loves it very much! Sometimes I don’t even eat the stir-fried vegetables, so I eat it with sourdough pancakes dipped in sauce, and I can eat seven or eight sourdough pancakes in one sitting. Yu Hai steamed the steamed sourdough pancakes, and Yu Hai couldn't eat more than three pieces. This little prince's stomach doesn't look big, where did all the pancakes go
Zhu Junyang knocked her on the head again, and said with a smile: "My lord is not only thinking about the grasshopper sauce, but also about your potato feast! Those royal chefs in the palace are also in vain, and the potatoes fried according to your recipe taste really delicious." It's not good, it's not half as good as Xiaocao's!"
Yu Xiaocao looked smug, but said in a complaining tone: "Prince Xiaojun, are you treating me as your cook? As soon as you think about food, come to our house to eat! You will have to bring your own food in the future. Food, I'm afraid our family's wealth will be eaten up by you, a big eater."
"What? You don't have enough food? Ye Minger will send you two cars from the cheap grain store!" Zhu Junyang seemed to have never been stingy with the Yu family.
Yu Xiaocao shook her head and said, "There is still plenty of food! It should be no problem to last until next year's autumn grain! Don't worry, if there is not enough food, I will definitely not be polite to you!"
After finishing speaking, she yelled at Little Shitou and Little Fangping who were playing crazy in the snow: "It's cold, go home after playing for a while!" The two little guys agreed from a distance.
After having lunch at Yu's house, Zhu Junyang went back with the guards. The New Year is approaching, and Prince Jing and Concubine Jing are both in the capital, so he naturally wants to go back to celebrate the New Year with his parents.
