Chen Yu was not wrong. The Su family and the Pan family had been watched by spies for a long time, but Meng Jiuling was faster than him. Because Meng Jiuling arranged for Liang Ziqian to arrive in Qingniu County one step earlier, Mrs. Su left home.
The news for many days had not reached the ears of the spies. Moreover, Chen Yu left quietly at first and then returned quietly, which also made the spies uncertain. Therefore, after the news was passed back, it became a one-day ride for the Su family.
An inspirational story about rising in the wind.
Xiao Qiming read the secret report and was also very curious about the Su family, especially the old lady of the Su family who was the head of the female school. It was unusual for a peasant woman to become a village monarch. As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things go wrong. He
I doubt the purpose of the Queen’s visit to Qingniu County to study for girls, but there is only a lack of evidence!
"Xiao Anzi." Xiao Qiming raised his hand.
Li An hurriedly brought hot tea over and placed it respectfully in Xiao Qiming's hand: "Master, I'm here."
Xiao Qiming glanced at Li An: "You are from Qingniu County, right?"
"Yes, my father, mother and younger brother are also living in Dawangzhuang, Qingniu County." Li An lowered his head and said respectfully.
Xiao Qiming leaned back on the chair and looked at Li An with interest: "Then let's talk about it."
Li An suddenly had goosebumps on his back and lowered his head: "What does Your Highness want to hear?"
"Qingniu County, your family, no matter what, just say whatever you want." Xiao Qiming didn't mention the Su family. It was impossible not to investigate the origins of his new favorite, so the spies also reported the eighth generation of Li An's ancestors.
Li An lowered his head and said slowly: "My father knows how to hunt, and my family is inconspicuous in Dawangzhuang. After my aunt married the fifth son of the Su family, life was difficult. Later, the old lady of the Su family became more and more powerful, so my aunt
The slave's family made a deal, but the Wang family in Dawangzhuang became so powerful that they smashed up the Su family's workshop and even took away the slave's father and mother."
Xiao Qiming frowned slightly. Although he was a slave, there were not many slaves who knew what was going on. Therefore, Xiao Anzi's family lived such a useless life, which made him feel a little angry.
"My servant was taken in by the old lady of the Su family and asked to study with the children of the Su family. But I know in my heart that my father, mother and younger brother are all named Li. I have no relatives to support me, so I will always have a hard time, so...
." At this point, Li An said no more.
Xiao Qiming picked up the tea and took a sip: "So you know me well? Do you like me?"
Li An quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Master, I didn't know you before. I just want to work in the palace and make money to support my parents. I still have a younger brother at home. He can live a good life and marry a wife and have children."
That’s enough, please master.”
"Okay." Of course Xiao Qiming would not believe that Li An knew his preferences. As a child in a small village, who could tell him this?
Seeing Li An's face turned pale, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "In that case, how about I reward some gold and silver to the Li family in Dawangzhuang?"
Li An suddenly raised his head, then quickly lowered his head, kowtowed to the ground, and said even more choked up: "The master loves the slave, but the slave's father refuses to recognize the slave anymore."
Xiao Qiming frowned: "Because you took this path?"
"Yes, if it weren't for the protection of my mother, I was afraid that I would have no way to survive, so I ran away secretly as soon as I could move around. I didn't want to meet Ren Yazi. If Grandpa Fu hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have known whether he died in Xuande.
The house is gone." Li An cried with sincerity.
Xiao Qiming stretched out his hand and pulled him to stand up: "It's all over. Since Xiao Anzi doesn't want to, then I won't reward him!"
Li An wanted to kneel down, but Xiao Qiming was reluctant and asked him to sit on the low stool next to him: "The Su family was originally very poor?"
"Yes, the old lady of the Su family was also a vicious person. Later she changed her gender for some reason and became very powerful at work. Last year she even planted a crop called corn, which can produce a lot of food." Li An secretly glanced at Xiao Qiming.
, continued: "We have all eaten it, and it is very delicious. There are also dishes made with seven-star pepper, which are very spicy and fragrant."
Xiao Qiming casually took the memorial beside it and opened it. The Ministry of Household Affairs specially wrote a letter about corn, which meant that corn was growing well, agricultural officers were set up in various places and other trivial matters.
"Let the imperial kitchen prepare some corn to eat." Xiao Qiming said.
Li An quickly stood up: "Master, let me do it. I know how to prepare several kinds of corn to eat."
Xiao Qiming smiled: "Okay, let's do it in the small kitchen."
"Yes, I obey the order." After Li An retreated, the corners of Xiao Qiming's mouth kept curling up.
The words "obey the decree" made Xiao Qiming feel very comfortable. Li An had no background that made him feel safe.
The eunuch Fuquan was called in. Xiao Qiming asked carefully about the situation of buying Li An, and once again confirmed that it was good to have this person around, he rewarded the eunuch Fuquan and asked him to take more care of him. What else could he do?
Li An, who didn't understand much, looked at the Su family's secret report as boring, so he put it aside and ignored it. He had just started to deal with government affairs, and the Su family was really a big deal.
Furthermore, it is very common for the two captains Su Shikang and Pan Fengge to die in the rebellion. After all, the Pan family and the Su family are too quiet, and it doesn't seem like someone has died in the family. People who can't remember them are too lazy to care. It's a waste.
energy.
Xiao Qiming didn't like to eat food from the imperial kitchen. He didn't trust anyone in the palace. On the contrary, Li An was able to cook the soup himself, which made him even more happy.
In the small kitchen, Li An was busy. The little eunuchs all knew that Li An was favored, and they couldn't help but fawn over him. No one dared to offend him.
Li An brought cornmeal buns, crystal clear pickles, a bowl of corn porridge cooked in a clay pot, and some refreshing side dishes to Xiao Qiming.
Seeing these kinds of food and drinks, Xiao Qiming once again thought that Xiao Anzi was so considerate. After the emperor passed away, he obviously had to become a vegetarian!
After taking a bite of the corn flour bun, I immediately frowned.
"Master, chew it carefully and it will taste sweet." Li An, who was waiting on the side, said quickly.
Xiao Qiming was obedient. After he tasted the sweet taste, he tasted them one by one and turned around: "Have you eaten these before?"
"Master, this corn was only available last year. I eat millet soup and wild vegetables on weekdays. If my father hunts game, he sells it for money. There is no smell of meat all year round." Li An said this without hesitation.
Sad, but smiling, like that kind of life is quite satisfying.
Xiao Qiming put down his chopsticks, and Li An helped him rinse his mouth and hands.
"It seems that the Su family has really made a contribution. The corn does taste good. Fuquan, Xuan Meng Jiuling and Ji Changfang discussed the matter." Xiao Qiming said.
Li An breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He could do this, and he was worthy of Grandma Su's family.
Thinking of the scene of that man delivering the medicine, Li An wished he could hit him to death. He originally only wanted to be a eunuch, a great eunuch, but who knew he would meet such a wicked beast like Xiao Qiming!
Now it's better! I am a monster that is neither male nor female, and I am still a plaything!
In the dead of night, a figure quietly came to Li An's bed. Li An suddenly opened his eyes and whispered: "Who!"
"The person who gave you medicine." A bottle of medicine was placed on the table.
Just as the man was about to leave, Li An said anxiously: "Wait a minute, is it okay to send me a message?"
