Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 456 Be prepared for danger in times of peace

Mammy's tone was calm, like a wooden person without a sense of smell: "Back to the Queen, there is a peony pattern on the lid of your soup cup and bowl. I took the bowl correctly. It can only be a mistake when cutting the ingredients."

When the queen walked out, her mouth turned white: "Find out and I will kill you with a stick!"

She couldn't handle such a small thing well, and it made her lose such a big face!

"No, it's not just her. Give her whole family to me..."

Little did she know that among the eighteen people who were violently killed by the palace maid responsible for administering the medicine that night, two of them were just death row inmates.

That night, the emperor came to the queen's palace for the first time in a long time. But before the queen was happy, he said with a cold face: "An Ning is busy studying and running a shop. She doesn't have much time. There will be a banquet in the future, so there is no need to disturb her."

"Also, I heard that you have had a bad appetite recently? It seems that you are having trouble doing business in the kitchen. It just so happened that there were a few new apprentices from the imperial chef recently. Their skills are not bad. I will ask Dezi to send them to you later."

After saying this, the emperor lit the lamp and spent the whole night approving the papers in his study.

The queen dared not speak out in anger, because she heard it - the emperor was warning her.

Sure enough, before going to court the next day, the emperor said again.

"These days, the weather is warm during the day and still cold, and it is easy to catch a cold. Since the queen is not feeling well, she should take good care of her in the palace and don't have to worry about things outside."

The queen looked pale - His Majesty wanted her to be grounded!

He must know what he is doing!

I just don’t know whether this punishment was because she wanted to harm Xiao Ran’s daughter, or because the bowl of soup with added ingredients was originally intended for his beloved Concubine Ji!

So the bowl of soup was tampered with by His Majesty's people?

OK, very good! !

After this incident, the reputations of Yaju and Xiaoxiao became famous at the same time.

Yaju was originally the most highly regarded place among the noble ladies in the capital. Now that there is an inscription from the emperor, it makes them yearn for it even more - as if a visit to Yaju can connect with His Majesty the Emperor.

Yaju, which has always been crowded with customers, is now even more difficult to find. Even the reservations have been postponed to the coming year. Mrs. Shen smiled from ear to ear: "Now, let's see who dares to force us Furong Home cooking.”

Furong also felt a little like she was in a dream: "Today I met Miss Xu at the door. When she first saw me, she wanted to raise her nostrils to her forehead, but now she actually greeted me and called me 'Sister Furong'."

She rubbed her arm with her good hand: "It made me feel numb."

Mrs. Shen poked her forehead: "Isn't this a good thing? You now have someone to support you."

The patron himself wrote and drew on the side: "I didn't think carefully enough about this matter. I thought that the Shen family was already important enough, but I didn't expect that Madam has already made Yaju such a great place. Even the Queen has become a potential customer. It's worthy of me." It's you."

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes. She was a talented businessman who could almost take over the Li family. For such a trivial matter, huh, even if the stinky girl praised her, she wouldn't be happy!

Mrs. Shen grinned and asked, "What are you painting?"

Xiaoxiao raised his head despite his busy schedule: "Beautiful recipes."

Hey, if she wanted to say this, Mrs. Shen would no longer feel sleepy. She looked at the dried bird's nest desserts listed by Xiaoxiao and said, "Can they really be good for your skin?"

Xiaoxiao pouted: "What? Bird's nest is just swallow's saliva, and its nutrition is not as good as eggs."

Mrs. Shen was shocked: "So it's useless?"

Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully: "It's not completely useless. The effect is a matter of opinion. Besides, do you drink bird's nest because it is nutritious?"

Without waiting for Mrs. Shen to answer, Xiaoxiao thought to herself: "The rich woman's consumption is all for happiness. She eats, drinks and dresses just to make you happy. The rest is not important."

What she said made sense, and it was hard for Mrs. Shen to disagree.

Xiaoxiao added: "Besides, the money earned from Bird's Nest is the money of rich people, so we don't have to feel bad."

Mrs. Shen suddenly felt as if she had been taken advantage of for many years.

Starting from the second day, Yaju launched a series of beauty and nourishing packages including bird's nest. The package became very popular as soon as it was launched. Not only the ladies in the capital rushed to book it, but also people from other places kept coming here.

Xiaoxiao struck while the iron was hot and pulled Rong Yan to set up a hotel chain. She was very busy.

When the emperor found out about this, he carefully summarized the scope of Xiaoxiao's activities these days, and then he was surprised to find that the Xiao family seemed to have suddenly escaped poverty and become rich!

He and Yourong Yan came to the house to have a meal, but Xiao Ran made him gain weight while complaining about his disdain.

Another year passed in the blink of an eye, and there was a bumper harvest of watermelons at the border. The output could finally meet the normal supply within the customs. The already well-known Great Wall freight transport traveled inside and outside the customs, and it had already been thoroughly trampled along the road.

As long as he is not a young man who has just entered the sea, no robber or bandit will dare to come to seek bad luck - those evil stars are not easy to mess with, and it is not impossible to make them angry and seize the bandits' den directly.

Whether it is delivering grain from within the customs to border towns or delivering watermelons, grapes and cantaloupes from outside the customs, there is no mission that Great Wall Freight cannot accomplish.

As a result, the people outside the pass never went hungry again, and the people inside the pass also lived more colorfully.

Magistrate Shen traveled almost half of the summer with new rice seeds. In nearly two years, he not only managed the imperial mission beautifully, but also discovered a group of grassroots officials who were truly capable of doing practical things. With the help of these people, new rice seeds are blooming everywhere and will soon cover all the land in Daxia.

Emperor Longyan was delighted and arranged another errand for Magistrate Shen - to build the world's granary.

Under Chen Yong's supervision, the Luozhou dike became a powerful natural moat for preventing and controlling floods. The popularization of new agricultural tools, including waterwheels, also became a reliable backing for the people to have enough food and clothing.

Everything seemed to be stable, but in the palace examination not long ago, the emperor saw an answer sheet that made him extremely satisfied.

The title of this answer sheet is - Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

The candidate carefully analyzed the pros and cons of people's livelihood in various parts of Daxia. Different from those superficial articles on paper, the emperor found that although the candidate's strategy was not as rhetorical as others, it was very concrete and pragmatic, with many insights, and was indeed very feasible.

After reading the answer sheet, the emperor couldn't wait to implement the new laws proposed in several articles, and building granaries was one of them.

On the day of the imperial examination, the emperor asked curiously: "Who wrote Beware of Danger in Peace?"

A young man in the crowd, who was neither humble nor arrogant, responded: "Student Ning Ansheng is a candidate from Xijiang County."

Your surname is Ning?

The emperor looked at the young man's high-spirited face and thought that it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"Ning Ansheng, right? Let me ask you, how did you get the customs of these places you wrote on your answer sheet?"

Ning Ansheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, the student once went on a study tour with the teacher. Although what is written in the article may not be completely correct, it is all what the student saw and felt with his own eyes."

This alone is beyond the reach of many candidates.

The emperor asked him again: "The big exam is coming soon, and you are going out to travel. Aren't you afraid of delaying your reading time?"

Ning Ansheng smiled warmly: "The student's sister... the student's family once said something."

"Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles; traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people; reading countless people is not as good as showing the way by a famous teacher, and being guided by a famous teacher is not as good as enlightening yourself."
