Li Yanhua elaborated on the hot and cold climate in the past ten years. Although the magnitude was not large, it was the same as what Jia Qi said. The temperature was indeed decreasing year by year. For a time, everyone felt uneasy and could hardly control themselves.
Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty made a prompt decision and ordered a nationwide search for cold-resistant crops and the cultivation of drought-resistant crops, and rewarded him with heavy rewards. As Jia Qi who noticed the weather changes today, Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty rewarded him with ten royal dishes of the palace. In response to this, everyone
Extremely envious.
Jia Qi didn't think anything about it, it was just ten dishes. When he returned home, there were two eunuchs carrying two food boxes with him.
As soon as he returned to the house, he saw that the guards were still clearing the snow. There was a heavy snowfall yesterday, and the snow on the ground was one foot deep! Cai Luan and Xiang Ling were also there, but the two of them were not there.
Sweeping snow is just having fun.
Seeing Jia Qi coming back, Xiang Ling was surprised and said: "Uncle is back!"
"
She didn't care about playing with Cai Luan and ran over. Qiao Sheng stood beside him. Jia Qi chuckled and nodded her nose, "Wear more clothes when you come out to play. You and Cai Luan are different.
She has stayed with me in the North for three years, and her body has adapted. You can't imitate her!"
Hearing this, Cai Luan raised his eyebrows and said, "You little heartless boy, you just met a new person and you forgot about the old one? It's strange that some people say that you men like the new and hate the old!"
Jia Qi glanced at her sideways and said, "How old are you? You are so jealous. I have never lost your place here. The emperor rewarded me with ten royal dishes, and you all came with me to try them~"
When Cai Luan heard this, she couldn't hide the smile in her eyebrows, and then followed her.
"Sister Cai Luan, don't be angry with me. He is not that kind of person. I have known him a long time ago!"
Seeing Xiang Ling acting like this, Cai Luan curled up her lips and Jia Qi also smiled. After three years of not seeing each other, the little girl is still so charming and innocent.
Seeing Cai Luan and Jia Qi both started laughing, Xiang Ling was also confused. Wasn't she angry just now? Why did she get better in the blink of an eye? She was even more fickle than the girl Lin she followed before!
As soon as the royal meal was laid down, I suddenly heard the guards coming to report!
"General, there is a girl named Xichun outside the door looking for her!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Xiangling beside her. She usually followed Daiyu and had a lot of fun with Xichun. Now that they were separated, she still had weird thoughts!
Although Cai Luan went back to Jia's house with Jia Chu yesterday, she did not enter Jia Mu's house. She only heard Jia Chu mention it occasionally and was quite curious about this Xichun.
Jia Qi nodded, "Yes! If she comes in the future, there is no need to pass the message, just bring her over!"
The guard nodded and quickly retreated.
After a while, I saw a little girl walking in lively. It was not Xichun. There was a little girl following behind her. She followed suit and looked at Xichun carefully, with a wry smile on her face.
"Brother Xin!
"
Seeing Jia Qi, Xichun shouted and jumped over.
The little maid behind her did not dare to be so presumptuous after seeing Jia Qi. She bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Marquis!"
"Wow~ Where did you get so many delicious foods??"
After smelling the fragrance, Xiao Xichun looked over and saw the ten imperial dishes on the table. She couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Although the life of the Jia family was expensive and delicacies from the mountains and seas were commonplace, she could not taste such a level of royal dishes.
But never encountered it.
Jia Qi smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty has rewarded you with ten royal dishes. Go wash your hands and try some together!"
When Xichun heard that it was from the palace, Xichun's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked if it was delicious or not. She would have something to brag about to her sisters when she got back.
There weren't many maids in the house now, and they couldn't serve them for a while. Xiang Ling took her to the inner room to wash her hands, but she didn't care. She just heard that when the only maid in the house, including Xiang Ling, was still there.
I'm a little careless. Now that my brother Qin has become a marquis, why don't I buy two more little maids by my side?
During the meal, several people at the table were chatting and laughing without restraint at all. Initially, Xiang Ling was unwilling to serve, but with Cai Luan here, she would not let this silly girl go.
This is the benefit of another lineage. Jia Chu decides everything in the house by himself. There are no elders pressing down on his head. He is very comfortable. In the house, as long as Jia Chu has the say, there will be no problem.
question.
If you put it somewhere else, don't even think about it. The etiquette and teachings are all in compliance with the rules.
In this case, Jia Qi naturally would not insist on those rules to restrain himself. He was free and easy, and he did not abide by any rules about eating and sleeping. After the meal was over, everyone was relaxed and comfortable.
"I am lucky now. By chance, I got a royal meal!"
After Xichun finished washing up and drank two sips of tea, she said with a smile.
Jia Qi chuckled, "It's just an imperial meal! Maybe the food in the two houses is no worse than these things on weekdays, it's just that the name is better! The cooking method is more particular!"
Then Jia Qi asked with a smile: "By the way, why are you free to come to my place today?"
Xichun glanced around secretly, then bit her lip and leaned over, stood up, and said in Jia Qi's ear: "I've finished reading the story book, but the story is not over yet! I wanted to hear it, so I ran over here! Originally
Sister Lin also wants to come, but is embarrassed~"
Hearing this, Jia Qi was immediately delighted. This man was as smart as a kid and knew that those things couldn't be said openly, so he lay down and chewed his tongue in his ear.
He stretched out his hand and flicked Xichun's forehead, and smiled softly, "No, the story ends there!"
Xichun was stunned and couldn't believe it, "It's impossible, the little clay figurine hasn't given birth to a baby yet!"
Hearing this, Jia Qi couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, there was something. Different people focused on different things. The manuscripts he left behind were indeed unfinished. They were just teasing her.
Seeing Jia Qi's eyes looking a little teasing, Xichun didn't know that Jia Qi was lying to her, so she was so angry that she raised her lips and tilted her head, pretending to be angry.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Cai Luan heard this, she couldn't help but be curious, what were Jia Qi and this little girl talking about?
Xiang Ling, who was on the side, saw Cai Luan's puzzled face, so she explained: "It's a story book. It's quite interesting. Miss Xichun has been reading it, but the story hasn't been finished yet."
Hearing this, Cai Luan also made a guess and asked with some interest: "Did he write it?"
Xiang Ling nodded her head twice and looked towards Jia Qi, with a trace of expectation and yearning in her eyes. Not to mention Miss Xichun, she also really wanted to know the next story!
At this moment, two loud sounds of birdsong suddenly came from the garden outside, making several people in the room stunned.
Cai Luan glanced outside and gave Jia Qi a helpless look. She seemed to already know what it was, but there was really nothing she could do about those guys. Although they wouldn't hurt her, they didn't listen to her.
, depending on the situation, it should have flown over from Liaodong.
Jia Qi let go of his senses. Beside the Taiye Pond in the Hou Mansion, there were two energetic cranes playing and having fun. They were not thinking about Shu! He did not take those two large white cranes back to the Hou Mansion. After all, they were too huge in size.
The people coming and going were too ostentatious, so they were sent to the hills outside the capital.
The pair of big white withers under his hands were already somewhat intelligent. Jia Qi asked them not to attack humans and animals without authorization, so he let them go.
As for these two red-crowned cranes, they are not very aggressive. In winter, it is difficult to hunt for food, so I secretly let them come here at night. After the baptism of their own Qi, these two guys are no longer afraid of the severe cold, but now they are here
Playing in the snow.
After thinking for a while, he Gen Xichun said: "Let's go, I'll take you to see something good!"
After saying that, he took Xichun, Xiangling, and the girls toward the backyard of the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion was huge. When Emperor Kangdi of the Ming Dynasty sent people to build it, it was not built according to the standard of the general Hou Mansion.
Instead, it is practiced according to the level of the Duke.
And they also built an artificial lake with water from the underground river outside Beijing. Of course, I don’t know whether Emperor Mingkang intended it. In addition, he also had people build a small garden. Compared with the meeting of Duke Ningguo,
Fang Yuan is not bad either. When he saw this garden during his night tour yesterday, he thought it was a bit funny because it was almost exactly the same as Hui Fang Yuan.
Afterwards, he had a new view of the reigning Emperor Mingkang, but he felt pretty good about it.
