Chapter 157 Cherry Fruit
May is the beginning of summer.
As the first ray of sunlight in the early morning gradually shines, the sky gradually changes from dark blue to warm orange-red, and a new day begins.
When you open the doors and windows, the air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees, which is the smell of night dew and green leaves.
……
Outside Yuncheng.
The fields after the reclaimed land are endless, green and magnificent in scale.
No one knows when it started, but no one in Yuncheng would be unable to sleep at night, worrying that the sweet potato seedlings would die.
Because every time they look at them, they have dark circles under their eyes.
Their growth is particularly pleasing.
Yuncheng is often hit by drought. Whatever is planted in the fields dies, and the people go hungry all year round. It seems like a dream from the previous life.
Whether it is the sweet potato seedlings and various vegetables outside the city, or the small saplings inside the city, all of them are full of vigor.
The people of Yuncheng are smiling more and more, and their motivation to work is growing.
Many of them have never left Yuncheng in their entire lives, but they guessed that the fertile fields in the capital of Qing Kingdom might grow into something like this.
very nice.
……
As the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shines into Yuncheng.
The door of Wangque Tower slowly opened.
Two old men in green walked out of Wangque Tower and bumped into Qing Lao and a few others who had gotten up early to look after the children.
"Good morning, Lord Lin and Lord Li!" The old man with completely white hair greeted the two gentlemen with gray hair.
Bask in the sun, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Mr. Qing, you have to go see the children so early. You've worked hard." Minister Lin walked up to Mr. Qing and patted him on the shoulder familiarly.
He also nodded friendly to Qingdai and Qingyou behind Qing Lao.
He is in a good mood today.
No, I have been in a good mood since I came to Yuncheng!
It’s much better than when I was in Beijing!
"The adults are the ones who have the hard work. I am just looking after the children, which can only make the people of Yuncheng feel more at ease while they work. It is not even one tenth of what the adults have done for the people." As Old Qing spoke, he grabbed the collar of a little kid who ran past him.
He once again wondered if the Baixiao Pills that the county lord gave to the people of Yuncheng had been added with ingredients from the Dali Pills? ...
These naughty monkeys are so energetic.
The moment the naughty monkey rushed over, Minister Lin quickly grabbed Censor Li beside him and took a step back.
The movements are so skillful that it makes people feel distressed...
How could an official of his level be treated so "warmly" in the capital?
Hey……
Minister Lin's attendant lowered his head silently, and suddenly remembered that when they first entered this street, the master was hit and fell on his buttocks...
"Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin, the big water truck is going to be installed today, right? After it's installed, dad won't have to carry water every time, right? Our crops won't die in the future, right?"
The naughty monkey held in Qing Lao's hand struggled to run forward, not caring even when his collar was pulled to his neck.
His little mouth chattered non-stop.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa Lin, can we go and see the waterwheel installation today? Didn't you say that students should have outdoor experimental classes? Can we go outside the city for class today?"
Another monkey came running over, and then a group of monkeys appeared from the corner...
"Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin, let us go, we promise not to make trouble." The little ones slowed down their pace after receiving the "loving" gazes from their two older sisters and teachers.
Then he trotted and tentatively approached Minister Lin.
well! ~
My sister and teacher didn’t stop me!
Grandpa teacher also let go of the naughty monkey in his hand!
They have a clear understanding of themselves.
The little guys were like birds out of a cage, chirping and surrounding Minister Lin in an instant...
Grandpa Lin, Grandpa Lin kept shouting...
“Don’t push, don’t push, go slow, hey…” It was the first time that Minister Lin felt that what he made was so popular.
A little teary-eyed.
Reaching out his hand to help the monkey that was squeezed and deformed...
Li Yushi, who was pushed back to the threshold of Wangque Tower, said:...Old Lin is getting proud.
He felt it.
"Good morning, Lord Li. Have you eaten?" A woman's soft and sweet voice came from behind.
Li Yushi turned around and saw the girl walking towards him with half-closed eyes. She was soft and cute. She was different from the drunk and naive girl at the "Yuncheng Night Market" the night before, and also different from the heroic woman Fuyao County Princess in his imagination...
"Old man, if you don't eat breakfast, your stomach will be affected. Eat something to fill your stomach." The girl walked past him without even opening her eyes.
There was an extra egg pancake in his arms...
Hot.
Li Jiaojiao walked to the door, looked up at the three masters and apprentices who let the children surround Minister Lin, and chuckled.
This is what I want to go too.
"Sister, sister, fairy sister, we also want to see the installation of the waterwheel..."
When the little guys saw Li Jiaojiao coming out, their eyes lit up and they immediately shifted their focus and surrounded her, then stood in several rows at the bottom of the stairs...
Minister Lin: ...It was a wrong decision.
But before Li Jiaojiao could answer, they all took two steps back.
The air pressure around her dropped, and a familiar fragrance came. There was already someone next to Li Jiaojiao.
Lu Liang handed a golden egg pancake to Li Jiaojiao, and said in a low voice, but everyone in the audience could hear: "The previous one was a little mushy, you eat this one."
Censor Li: ...
The cake in my mouth doesn't smell good anymore...
"Be content, the Fourth Prince made this pancake himself..." Minister Lin came to Li Yushi's side, and while the old man was stunned, he stretched out his hand and quickly tore off the unbitten half of the pancake in his hand...
Well, it's a bit blurry...
The food made by the prince is just so-so.
None of the fruits are as delicious as the county lady’s.
……
On the other side.
A small meeting after the morning court session of Qing State.
It didn't take long for everyone to sit down with the emperor.
Several young eunuchs were standing at the door holding a row of wooden boxes.
In the inner room, the chief eunuch Li Jing leaned over and whispered something in Emperor Qing's ear.
Emperor Qing put down his hand that was rotating the bracelet, turned his head and looked out the window.
His actions naturally caught the attention of all the court officials.
It is inconvenient to look back when your back is facing the window.
However, the Second Prince and the Left Prime Minister, who were facing the window, were watching openly.
But the expressions of the two people are very different.
The left prime minister’s brows were almost furrowed together, and confusion was evident on his face.
The second prince lowered his eyebrows and curled his lips, looking a little... doting? ...
What's outside the window?
"Your Majesty, may I know what this is?" A breeze blew, and the wet silk covering the small wooden box was gently blown up a corner, revealing the rosy and shiny fruit inside.
If you sniff carefully, you can smell a faint fruity scent in the air.
The left prime minister suddenly remembered that his wife had mentioned more than once the "cherry fruit" that was popular in the capital but hard to come by at a high price...
As soon as the Left Prime Minister spoke, Emperor Qing immediately waved towards the door.
Go quickly...
"Wait a moment! Your Majesty! Is this the legendary 'cherry fruit'? I wonder if I, an old minister, have the honor to see it?" The left prime minister shouted, scaring the people who were about to retreat at the door.
It was during this moment of delay that all the important officials in the hall stood up in shock and looked towards the door.
