Chapter 459 Mung Bean Soup
Chapter 459 Mung Bean Soup
He drank two large bowls in a row, and others also lined up to get some.
How could any of these rich young men have ever done such a job?
Except for Liang Zhaokang, the others had never seen rice harvested.
Liang Zhaokang had only seen the emperor before when he followed his brother to the countryside to understand the people's conditions. At that time, he also watched his brother working in the fields.
Liang Zhaoxi was not an emperor who knew nothing. In the past, he was always the first one to rush to go on tours among the people.
Therefore, whenever there is any benefit, we think about the people. When we raid the house of an official, the first thing we think about is how to use it for the people.
Liang Zhaokang admired his brother very much, so he never thought of seizing the throne.
He is in a position to do his job. He cannot bear such hardship, so he cannot sit in that position.
But his royal brother can do it, so he has to assist his royal brother.
Now that we have the opportunity, we must understand the people’s sentiments and feel the difficulties they face.
However, only one short morning had passed and he felt exhausted.
His right hand, which already had thin calluses, was now slightly numb from holding the sickle.
The palms of his hands turned red, and I thought that blisters would form on his hands within a day.
But he couldn't give up. He wouldn't go back to the capital until the end of the year. It would be inappropriate to live here without working.
Even Qin Yan and Song Zhen went to the fields to work, so there was no way he wouldn't follow them.
When Su Cheng and Zhao Chuan saw Grandma Zhang coming with the load on her shoulder, they almost fell to their knees.
They are really tired. After being playboys for twenty years, when have they ever suffered such hardship?
I felt very uncomfortable and hot.
Even taking a short break would be good.
Fortunately, Shen Nuo made the mung bean soup with spiritual spring water, and added ice and sugar.
After taking a sip, they felt much cooler and no longer felt so uncomfortable.
When Lan Jiu saw that the people here were drinking mung bean soup, he was also tempted.
The next moment, he turned around and saw Qingyi also carrying something.
He should be here to deliver water. Lan Jiu was very happy. As long as he was willing to come, he would be happy even if he was just delivering water.
When Qingyi opened it, she found that it was also mung bean soup, which was also sugared and served cold.
"Drink it, it's cold."
He shamelessly bought the ice from Shen Nuo. Of course, Shen Nuo didn't want to accept his money, so Qingyi exchanged it with sugar.
In this way, he also made a bucket of iced mung bean soup.
"Okay, thank you Yiyi, I like everything, as long as you bring it, even if it's just plain water."
The others were very considerate and immediately thanked Qingyi.
"Thank you, Madam Second Young Master."
Tsing Yi: ???
After expressing their gratitude, the secret guards went to get a bowl of soup to drink.
The second young master said it was okay to drink, so they drank.
These are the secret guards trained by their family, so naturally they listen to Lan Jiu in everything.
"Hey, I'm the Second Young Master, so you are the Second Young Master's Wife."
Lan Jiu smiled playfully, but his tone was full of seriousness.
Qing Yi said anxiously:
"You, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. Ask them if I'm talking nonsense."
Several people said in unison:
"No, you are the Second Young Master's wife."
Qing Yi blushed completely, and he turned around and left:
"Bring the bucket back with you when you get off work."
After saying that, he left without even looking back.
Lan Jiu touched his nose but still smiled foolishly.
Is his husband shy? Does that mean he is one step closer to catching up with her?
Thinking of this, he laughed again.
After drinking the mung bean soup, it’s time to get back to work.
Because Lan Jiu refused to let Qingyi go to work in the fields, Qingyi stayed at home to cook for them.
Their family didn't have much land to farm, and they just wanted to have some grain to hand over when they paid taxes, and keep the rest for their family to eat.
Qingwu was in poor health, so Qingyi did not let her go to the fields.
Not much was planted last time, so Qingyi asked the men in the village to help with the harvest and then planted rice again.
And this time, he doesn't have to ask anyone else to do it.
But he understood that these things would have to be returned.
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. What would he do if Lan Jiu lost his patience one day?
Will Lan Jiu take revenge on me? What should Xiao Wu do?
"hiss……"
He was cutting vegetables, absent-mindedly, and almost cut his hand.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and only had some skin broken without bleeding.
Then, I realized I was overthinking.
Maybe Lan Jiu is not such a person? After spending these days together, he also understood that the other party really misunderstood him at the beginning.
Besides, Lan Jiu comes to his house to work these days. It is very good for a rich young man to do this.
In fact, Qingyi had already forgiven him in her heart, but she just didn't know how to face his words about marrying her.
He didn't dare to hope for it.
He was just an actor in the past, and even though he was the son of the troupe owner, he was not from a good family.
In the eyes of many people, the opera troupe just sings better than the brothels, and they are both places to please others.
Some of these characters can be bought easily, and some even...
If Lan Jiu really likes me, can he really marry an actress?
Even if it isn't the case now, what if someone finds out?
Besides, Qingyi didn't want to hide anything. His parents were in a theatre troupe, and he used to be one too, so he didn't think there was anything embarrassing to talk about.
But can Lan Jiu really accept it?
No, Lan Jiu knew that he was an actor, but what about his family?
Could it be possible that he would break up with his family for himself?
This was just a foolish dream. Qingyi didn't even dare to think about it. She just felt funny about herself for having such a wild idea.
After a day's work, everyone was exhausted.
However, they also realized the benefits of the thresher. After making the thresher a few months ago, Qin Liang sent it to the prefect.
The prefect needs to use the autumn harvest before he can report to the capital.
This time, Liang Zhaokang joined in and also used it.
He sent a memorial to his brother the emperor overnight, and also sent the drawings drawn by the carpenters here to the capital.
Originally, we thought that it would not be popularized nationwide so quickly, but because of Liang Zhaokang, we will probably see threshers all over the country by June next year.
In addition to the memorial, he also sent a secret letter to his brother, which was about Shen Nuo, Qin Yan and Yunzhu Village.
In addition to the salt lake, there are also the wishes of Qin Yan and Shen Nuo. He knows that his royal brother will definitely not force these two to go back to serve as officials.
He still talked about the differences between Shen Nuo and Qin Yan, for example, he was able to discover salt lakes and methods of making salt, and he knew some things that ordinary people didn't know.
He just noticed that Shen Nuo and Qin Yan had no defenses against them at all.
To say that we are defenseless actually means that we are fearless. Even if they know about it, we have the ability to make them "unaware".
