Liu Tangxi slept well this night.
The next morning, she woke up early.
Before in the capital, she got up a little late, but now she's in the suburbs of Beijing, with the Yin family, but she gets up early.
After simply grooming, she went to cook for the Yin family.
As soon as Yin shi got up, she saw her daughter bring her breakfast. She said that her daughter was working hard, but there was a smile on her face and eyes.
After the meal, Mammy Shao gathered all the people on Zhuangzi and announced the Yin family's decision.
After the meal, Liu Tangxi went to deal with things.
After recognizing people and knowing what everyone does, Liu Tangxi made people busy.
Next, she left Deputy Steward Zhang behind, picked up the account book and looked at it.
The more I look, the more angry I feel.
Not only the yield of fruit is low, but the yield of grain is not high.
"Why is the yield per mu so low?" Liu Tangxi asked with a frown.
Zhang Guanshi naturally knew why Wang Guanshi was punished, so he didn't dare to be careless, and quickly replied seriously, "I don't know if I'm small, but the yield per mu in our field has always been so much."
Always this low? But she remembered that the third Wei family's land was higher than this, and they were all good fields, and the gap was too big. Not to mention that it is taller than the third Wei's family, at least it should be about the same.
Is Beijing's output very low
"Compared with other families?" Liu Tangxi asked calmly.
Manager Zhang glanced at Liu Tangxi and replied cautiously, "It's a little lower than the one in Ruian Hou's mansion next to it, but similar to the one in Prince Jin's mansion."
"Zhuangzi of the King's Mansion is also nearby?" Liu Tangxi asked in surprise.
Zhang Guanshi said, "Yes, our land to the east is next to King Jin's mansion."
Because of what happened on the way, Liu Tangxi learned something about King Jin. She knew that King Jin stayed in the fief all the year round, and only the young prince was in the capital. How could the young prince take care of so many things
The Yin family is obviously also a master who doesn't care about the output of Zhuangzi.
Therefore, both of them are very low.
Hey, the Yin family is not bad for money, and such mundane things have always been ignored.
But you can't just sit and eat, right
Moreover, why not make the money that can be made, and why not increase the output of grain
As the only daughter of the Yin family, she has to think about the future of the Yin family.
The Yin family has only one daughter and no son, and the one who will inherit the Hou Mansion in the future will definitely be the concubine.
The Yin family has always been bad to the concubine, and the head of the concubine still doesn't know how to deal with the Yin family.
Therefore, she had to ask Yin Shi to save more money, so she had confidence.
Besides, if you don't care about these things now, you still don't know if the people below will do more excessive things in the future.
"Who controls the output of the field?" Liu Tangxi asked.
Steward Zhang quickly said, "It's Steward Wang's brother-in-law."
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi had a guess. However, she still wanted to ask a few more questions, so as not to wrong people.
"How big?"
"Twenty years old."
"So young, he is good at farming?"
"That's not true. I heard that after reading for a few years, I didn't pass the exam, so I came to join the steward Wang."
Hearing this, what else did Liu Tangxi not understand
The most urgent task is to find an old farmer who can farm the land.
At most, her golden fingers can make the taste better, and the yield cannot be changed. It would be great if the yield could be increased while the taste was good.
At this moment, Liu Tangxi suddenly wanted to let the third Wei family go to Beijing.
The third child of Wei's family is a responsible person, and the third child of Wei is also very good at farming. If he is allowed to manage the land, she will be more at ease. However, third child Wei is also her father-in-law. If people know that she has let her father-in-law take charge, they don't know what others will say.
However, she was able to take them over and enjoy them.
This matter can't be rushed, she has to see the attitude of the third prince and Liu Yunan towards her before making plans.
"Go find a few old farmers who can farm, and then find a few more fruit farmers." Liu Tangxi said.
"Yes."
Although Liu Tangxi only asked a few questions, Manager Zhang understood that she was not a fool like the Yin family, and also attached great importance to the output of the field. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off.
Since you have to manage it, you must go and see it.
So, Liu Tangxi, accompanied by the maid, took a carriage and looked at the whole Zhuangzi.
After reading it, I have to sigh that the whole Zhuangzi is bigger than Weijia Village.
Before the suitable old farmer came, Liu Tangxi planned to tidy up the inside of the village.
At this time, the capital, the palace.
The story of Liu Tangxi was widely heard in the capital, and Emperor You naturally heard some of it.
Thinking that he had suggested Wei Hanzhou to divorce his wife before, Emperor You deliberately left Marquis Huaien and Wei Hanzhou behind after the early dynasty.
It is natural to appease Marquis Wynn, and reward Liu Tangxi with many good things.
As for Wei Hanzhou, he changed his previous disgust and praised his integrity.
After the reward, Emperor You asked Marquis Wynn to leave, leaving behind Wei Hanzhou.
During the palace test, Emperor You immediately fell in love with Wei Hanzhou and felt that he was pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, the ministers agreed with him, and they all felt that Wei Hanzhou was a good scholar and could be the champion.
Later, he was refuted by Wei Hanzhou at the palace banquet, and he began to dislike Wei Hanzhou.
But now that his wife has become the direct daughter of the Hou Mansion, Emperor You thinks that he is a lot more pleasing to the eye, much better than the average and dull second-ranking flower.
"Weiqing's writing is good. I will see the official minister in a while, so you can transcribe it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Hanzhou respectfully responded.
Liu Tangxi soon received a reward from Emperor You.
Seeing these good things that Emperor You admired, Liu Tangxi was very happy.
However, after the rejoicing, she still has to do what she should do.
She saw this Zhuangzi not pleasing to her eyes yesterday.
In such a big Zhuangzi, a lot of useless flowers and plants have grown up, and a large part of them are all weeds.
Such a big house, what's wrong with planting something
These horns and nooks add up to two acres of land.
If he could grow vegetables, he would definitely be able to supply the entire Hou residence.
However, looking at Yin's elegant appearance, Liu Tangxi felt that if he turned the whole house into a vegetable garden, it would not match Yin's temperament.
Therefore, Liu Tangxi thought of another more profitable way.
It's just that I haven't tried this method before, so I don't know if it will work.
The fruits she has touched are sweet, the grains are delicious, and the vegetables grow well. Then, what about the flowers
If she can make flowers look good, wouldn't she make more money than fruits and vegetables
Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi asked the servants in the house to remove all the dead flowers and plants, and all the weeds were pulled up, turned the ground over, and replanted other flowers.
Not only that, but also found two more flower farmers.
Originally, there were two flower farmers in Zhuangzi, and as a result, there were four.
She is probably the only one who knows what Liu Tangxi is thinking.
When Mrs Yin saw her planting flowers, she thought she thought it was not good-looking, so she opened up a large flower field at home, and privately praised Mammy Shao for her ability and good taste.
Even though there were many people in Zhuangzi, it took three days to tidy up the yard and plant flowers.
She had touched all of these seedlings or seeds, and hoped that they would grow better and survive.
Seeing that the whole Zhuangzi had no place to waste, Liu Tangxi went to make dinner with satisfaction.
In the past few days, in addition to cleaning up Zhuangzi, Liu Tangxi also listened to Yin Shi and Shao Mama talk a lot about the Hou Mansion and the honor of the capital.
After eating, Liu Tangxi was walking with the Yin family when he saw a woman coming over with a letter.
"Girl, the concierge said that Uncle Tojin Prince Prince sent you a letter."
Hearing that Wei Hanzhou had written her a letter, Liu Tangxi's face immediately showed a smile, staring at the letter in the old lady's hand with burning eyes.
Seeing her daughter's happy appearance, Mrs Yin shook her head helplessly and said to the old lady, "Quickly invite the prince to come in for a cup of tea."
But the old woman said, "The eldest son may be in a hurry, put down the letter and leave."
Yin nodded and asked Mammy Shao, "I remember that Zhuangzi of the King's family is right next to us?"
Mammy Shao said with a smile, "Yes, Madam remembered correctly."
"Tomorrow morning, let someone send me some melons and fruits to thank me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Liu Tangxi's attention was already on the letter, and he didn't pay attention to the conversation here.
After getting the letter, I was about to open it when I suddenly thought that there were other people here.
Yin Shi said thoughtfully, "Okay, let's go back and have a look, it's getting dark outside."
Liu Tangxi smiled and nodded, and after saying a few words to Yin Shi, he went back to his room.
After returning to the house, Liu Tangxi opened the letter.
The content of the letter is as simple as ever.
"Because my husband's body has recovered, don't worry about my wife. The garlic that my wife has grown in the yard has grown up. I don't know when my wife will return?"
Liu Tangxi had a big smile on her face, thinking to herself, who cares about your health
"The garlic sprouts taste very good. You can ask Aunt Chen to scramble eggs for you. Although the mother is in better shape, she still needs to rest. I won't go back for the time being. You are honest at home. Go home, don't blame me for being rude."
After writing the reply, Liu Tangxi also drew two villains at the back.
A woman stood on her hips, and a man knelt among the thorns.
Liu Tangxi slept very well at night, smiling even in her dreams.
As for what dream I had, I couldn't remember it the next morning.
Mao Zheng, the sky was slightly bright, and Liu Tangxi got up.
After grooming, Liu Tangxi brought Manager Zhang over.
"You go find two clever little servants."
"Yes, girl."
Liu Tangxi went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Today she plans to make soup dumplings.
It's not something that came up now, she wanted to do it yesterday, and the pork jelly added to the soup bag was already ready.
Just as the stuffing was being adjusted, Manager Zhang came over with two servants.
Liu Tangxi's subordinates kept moving, and directly ordered, "The two of you go to various places in the capital to inquire about the prices of vegetables in various markets, and write them down."
After speaking, Liu Tangxi suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, are you literate?"
One nodded and said literacy, the other shook his head in shame.
Just as Liu Tangxi was about to say something else, she couldn't bear it anymore when she saw the look on the servant's face.
"If you don't know how to read, how is your memory? If you don't need paper and pen to record, you can remember it in your mind."
"The little one has the best memory." The little servant said quickly.
Liu Tangxi thought, this is not an important matter, and said, "Okay, then you two. Remember, you are not allowed to discuss, remember yourself, and I will ask when I come back. Manager Zhang, give each of them each One penny per person."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two little servants lit up.
Didn't expect it to be a beautiful thing.
In Zhuangzi, their monthly payment was only five coins, and they were often deducted by the steward Wang, and they only got three or four coins.
Liu Tangxi didn't know what the servants were thinking, she wiped her hands, took out the letter in her arms, hesitated, and handed it to the illiterate servant.
Being illiterate has the advantage of being illiterate, and you don't have to worry about others peeking.
"What's your name?"
"The little one's name is Gouzu."
dog left...
Liu Tangxi was startled for a moment.
Manager Zhang glanced at Liu Tangxi's face, and immediately reprimanded, "What are you talking about, how can you smear the young lady's ears with such a dirty name."
The dog shivered in fright.
Dirty name
It's better than a dog egg, right
Liu Tangxi glanced at Manager Zhang and said, "It's all taken by my parents. If it's dirty, don't reprimand him."
That dog left is also smart. Hearing Liu Tangxi say this, he immediately said, "This name was given to the little boy by Manager Wang at will. I beg the girl to give her a name."
Liu Tangxi didn't want to change his name, but the word "dog" was somewhat heavier than Wei Hanzhou. Also, the name is really random. Since it was taken by Wang Guanshi, she changed it for him.
What is it called
Liu Tangxi looked up at the place where the sun rose in the east, and said, "Then you can call it Dongsheng. Okay?"
Gou left immediately knelt on the ground and thanked him, "Thank you girl for giving me the name, I'll be called Dongsheng when I'm young."
"Get up, after you go to the capital, give this letter to Wei Xiu of the Hanlin Academy."
"Yes, girl." Dongsheng replied with a smile.
She has long wanted to understand the price issue, so that she can know what to do and not be deceived. However, it was selfish to ask someone to check it out early this morning, and wanted someone to deliver a letter to Wei Hanzhou by the way.
Liu Tangxi cooks very fast, and the soup dumplings are steamed very quickly.
At the same time, she started making shrimp dumplings again.
Before the 10th hour, Liu Tangxi steamed the six-long soup dumplings and the four-long shrimp dumplings.
After it was done, Liu Tangxi asked someone to take some to the main courtyard.
At this moment, Yin Shi was already up, smelling the fragrant smell, swallowed his saliva, smiled and said to Mammy Shao, "You smell it, this smell is really fragrant, and I don't know what delicious food I have made."
Liu Tangxi said with a smile, "My daughter didn't do anything, just steamed some steamed buns and dumplings, mother eat it while it's hot."
Soon, the maid opened a basket of soup dumplings and a basket of shrimp dumplings and placed them on the table. At the same time, there were dipping sauces on the side.
"My daughter is thinking, yesterday, the prince sent a letter to her daughter, and I will do more today. I want to send them a thank you gift, but I don't know if it is in line with the rules?"
Yin shi smiled, looked at Shao mama and jokingly, "I thought you forgot about it when you received the letter yesterday."
Liu Tangxi's face turned slightly red.
Mammy Shao smiled and said, "Yesterday Madam said that she would send some fruits and melons to the prince to thank him."
"Then let me send the melons and buns together now." Yin Shi said.
"Hey, okay, I'll go in person," said Mammy Shao.
"Alright."
"Mommy, remember to remind the prince not to get scalded when eating soup dumplings." Liu Tangxi said.
She was about to continue talking about how to eat, but she heard Shao Ma smiled and said, "We also have soup dumplings in the capital, maybe the girl forgot. However, I will tell the prince again later."
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was relieved.
After Mammy Shao left, Liu Tangxi and Mrs Yin sat down to eat.
In the past few days, Mrs. Yin knew her daughter's craftsmanship. Looking at the soup dumpling in front of her, she picked it up and ate it.
She stopped after eating three at a time, and said with emotion, "Your craft is really good. Has anyone taught you at his house?"
Liu Tangxi shook his head, "No."
"Yes, his family is so poor, how can anyone do this."
Liu Tangxi rolled her eyes and said, "Xu is born, right? I ate a lot of delicious food with my mother before, but I was too lazy to make it. Now I will make it as soon as I get started. I thought I was at home. Where's the cook?"
Yin's face suddenly became serious, "How is it possible, you are not a cook, but a girl from our Hou residence."
Liu Tangxi smiled, put a steamed bun for Mrs Yin, and changed the topic, "Mother eat this, try the shrimp dumplings. This is the first time my daughter has made them."
Hearing this, Yin's attention really shifted, she picked up the buns and ate it, nodding while eating, praising her daughter's craftsmanship.
After eating a few more dumplings and drinking a bowl of egg soup, Yin was full.
According to her appetite, she usually can't eat so much, but the food made by her daughter is really delicious.
She could feel that she had gained weight recently.
However, she is getting fatter when she is older, but seeing her daughter happy, she is satisfied with everything.
Mrs Yin took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth and hands, watching her daughter eat.
Thinking of her daughter's amnesia now, Yin thought for a while and asked, "Xixi, do you still remember King Jin's mansion?"
In the past few days, she has told her daughter a lot of honorable things in the capital, and it just so happened that she hadn't talked about Prince Jin's mansion yet, so she just happened to talk about it today.
Liu Tangxi raised his head, shook his head, and said, "I don't remember much."
She actually remembered it, but what she remembered was King Jin's mansion in the book, and she couldn't remember why she remembered it.
Since Mrs Yin wanted to talk, she just happened to listen.
Yin shi waved his hand and told everyone in the room to retreat.
"The first emperor married two queens. The first queen had no children, and the second queen gave birth to a son, and that son was His Royal Highness King Jin."
Liu Tangxi was suddenly startled, and felt that the buns in his mouth instantly became devoid of story fragrance.
Is King Jin the direct son of the first emperor
What about the current king
Liu Tangxi had already made up a big drama in his mind.
Soon, Yin shi solved her confusion.
"The emperor is the eldest son of the former emperor. When the former emperor passed away, King Jin had just married his concubine. He was still young and had no children. The emperor was more than ten years older than King Jin and already had three sons. Moreover, the emperor supported him in the court. There are many. Therefore, the first emperor passed the throne to the eldest son."
Seeing that her daughter didn't eat it, Yin gave her another bun.
After putting down the chopsticks, Yin continued, "Later, after the emperor ascended the throne, he changed his appearance, and the ministers were very dissatisfied with him. When Prince Jin was born, the voices of dissatisfaction with the emperor in the court became more and more, and it was also faint. Some people began to support King Jin. After a few years, the emperor gave King Jin a fief and sent King Jin to the north."
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was stunned for a moment, as if something flashed in his mind.
"The prince stayed in the capital, and King Jin and Princess Jin went to the north. A few years ago, a neighboring country came to invade. King Jin fought with the neighboring country for three years and repelled the neighboring country. Not only that, but also occupied a piece of the neighboring country's territory. There are more and more soldiers in the hands of King Jin. There is a case for impeaching King Jin in the court. Last month, King Jin was recalled to Beijing by the emperor. "
Liu Tangxi stared blankly at the bun in front of him and swallowed it unconsciously.
She didn't realize what she had eaten until the hot juice splashed all over her mouth.
She really vomited, not even if she didn't, her face was flushed with the heat, and her tears were falling.
Yin Shi was also frightened by her daughter's reaction, and hurriedly made her spit it out.
But Liu Tangxi was used to saving, and there was lean meat in it, which was very expensive, and she was reluctant.
Seeing that she didn't vomit, Yin hurriedly sent someone to bring cold water.
When the cold water was brought over, Liu Tangxi had already eaten the buns.
Yin Shi couldn't help but say, "You child, why don't you spit it out when you spit it out?"
"It's too expensive, spit it out and waste it." Liu Tangxi said honestly.
Hearing this explanation, Yin's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said, "How expensive can it be? Even if a bun is worth a thousand taels, what if it burns you, your body will suffer."
Liu Tangxi thought, this bun is worth a penny and she is not willing to vomit, let alone a thousand taels. If it was really worth a thousand taels, she would definitely sell it instead of eating it.
"It's okay, it's okay, daughter, isn't it okay?" Liu Tangxi comforted the Yin family.
Yin Shi couldn't help sighing again, and scolded her a few words.
Liu Tangxi replied with a smile, but said nothing.
After a while, Mammy Shao came back.
"It turns out that the prince and the county master are both on the Zhuangzi. I asked a few more questions, saying that the prince admired the talents of the uncle, and when he went to ask the uncle a question, the uncle gave him the letter."
"Well, it's good to have it delivered. There are still a lot of steamed buns on the stove, and they won't taste good when they're cold. Let's eat them quickly." Yin said.
"Hey, thank you madam, thank you girl."
Liu Tangxi thought, she finally remembered why she was familiar with the name King Jin, and why she couldn't remember it.
She remembered that the King Jin mentioned in the book was actually the Prince Jin.
When the battle between the prince and the third prince was the most intense, the prince also participated in it, standing on the prince's side and fighting with the third prince.
It is a pity that the purpose of the prince is to ascend the throne by himself, which was pierced by the third prince and the heroine, and the alliance between the prince and the prince collapsed instantly.
The reason why the prince was able to become the prince was because his father, the only direct son of the late emperor, King Jin, was assassinated on his way to Beijing.
In other words, what the guard said that day before he died was not false, he really poisoned King Jin.
If King Jin drank the tea, the guards would take out the knife while he was not ready, and he would definitely be stabbed to death.
So, she rescued King Jin invisibly
Thinking of the father and daughter they met on the way to Beijing, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt so amazing.
"Mother, what is King Jin's power now?" Liu Tangxi asked in a low voice.
Yin shi frowned slightly, puzzled by what her daughter meant.
"What about the crown prince and the third prince?" Liu Tangxi asked again.
Yin shi laughed and said, "King Jin has a heavy army in his hands, the crown prince and the third prince are just newcomers, how can they compare with this one?"
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi's heart began to beat faster.
She is, what a powerful person she has saved. ,,,
