Chapter Seventy-Seven: Finally an Ally?
“…… A symbolic small amount of food or money is collected as a means of using the land and as an incentive for hard work, and the money received can be saved for future needs. Xue Jinyi said to the little official of the household department, and looked up at His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was staring at him unscrupulously, "What do you think, Your Highness?" ”
The king of Chu nodded in response, "In this case, if the refugees want to regret their hometown, they can also leave on their own." Vacant houses and fields can be used by future refugees. However, it is hoped that there will be no more natural and man-made disasters. ”
Xue Jinyi raised her eyebrows, it turned out that he didn't patronize it, did he pay attention to what she said?
The eldest princess said that she was presiding over the resettlement of refugees, but the matter was handed over to the king of Chu and Miss Xue, so he had to do things seriously.
It's just that as he wrote, Leng Buding felt that the atmosphere around him had become very subtle, and as far as he could see, everyone else was discussing in a low voice, and there was a busy scene in the flower hall.
The little official pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked left and right.
King Chu and Miss Xue looked at each other, but they did not have the affectionate veins of an unmarried couple in their eyes, but ......
He felt a sharp knife scrape across his face.
He didn't see the knife, but the two pairs of eyes looked calm like a deep pool, and there was nothing terrifying.
But the atmosphere is delicate...... The little official craned his neck and slowly squatted down, trying to slip away.
"Slap", a slap on the table, shocked the people around him.
In the midst of the convergence of eyes, Xue Jinyi calmly asked, "Is it written?" ”
The little official trembled and raised his head, and presented the document with both hands, "It's all written, please Miss Xue take a look." ”
Xue Jinyi took the paperwork and raised it in front of her face, blocking the view of the King of Chu.
The king of Chu said to the little official, "You go over there and rest for a while." ”
The little official hurriedly slipped away as if he had been pardoned.
With his hands behind his back, the King of Chu slowly took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Xue Jinyi.
Xue Jinyi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and frowned unhappily, "What advice does His Royal Highness the King of Chu have?" ”
"I suddenly wondered how you came up with this plan and were able to make a lot of improvements in the details." King Chu asked.
Xue Jinyi has encountered such a plot in film and television dramas, and has participated in many public welfare actions in reality, but in front of King Chu, the knowledge and experience brought by many experiences have been turned into a simple sentence, "I saw it in the book." ”
"What kind of book?"
"The books in the study in the courtyard where I live," Xue Jinyi put down the paperwork and looked at King Chu with a smile, "I forgot the title of the book." ”
What he said made the king of Chu unable to ask.
Sure enough, the king of Chu didn't ask anymore, and even if he asked, there was no result, so why bother talking?
Xue Jinyi was very satisfied, at least the King of Chu was not so stupid, otherwise it would be annoying enough to get along.
After a simple lunch, Xue Jinyi saw that it was okay for the time being, and decided to go to the kitchen to make some snacks to make the eldest princess happy, and Pu Yangzhen pulled the king of Chu and rushed over.
She wrote a slip of the bill and handed it to the King of Chu, "You haven't forgotten what His Royal Highness the King of Chu promised me, have you?" ”
King Chu pulled the list from between her fingers and glanced at it.
Pu Yangzhen came over curiously and saw that it was written with a few flavors of traditional Chinese medicine, "Sister-in-law, are you sick?" ”
"No, it's for medicinal food." Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "You can regulate your body, I got the list after asking the doctor." ”
Pu Yangzhen nodded, "I want to eat too." ”
"Then it depends on your brother's craftsmanship." Xue Jinyi looked at the King of Chu with ill intentions, under several pressures, the King of Chu didn't want to do a good job, but he had to do it well!
"Brother Xuan did it?" Pu Yangzhen clapped his hands happily, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen Brother Xuan cook by himself!" ”
King Chu stared at Xue Jinyi's smiling face, and said meaningfully: "Now, we are allies. ”
Xue Jinyi couldn't help but sneer, the King of Chu now knew that they were allies? When they joined forces to sabotage the marriage before, why didn't he think that they were allies and did something against their word?
Puyang Zhenzheng looked at the list with great interest, guessing what it would be delicious, and didn't hear her laughter, while the king of Chu pretended not to hear it, and folded the list slowly.
"Miss Xue, wait a minute."
As soon as the words fell, his figure had already flashed to the door.
The eye-catching guy finally left, Xue Jinyi was in a better mood, and asked the cook to take some ingredients out and roll up her sleeves to make snacks.
Pu Yangzhen watched with interest, "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help with?" ”
"Ah Zhen wants to learn?"
"Hmmm! May I? ”
"Okay." Xue Jinyi happily agreed, teaching Pu Yangzhen hand in hand.
The two had a lot of fun, and when the dim sum was put into the pot to steam, the king of Chu came back, put a few bags of things on the table, and then threw a black chicken tied up with a sturdy face in front of Xue Jinyi.
"Ah, is Brother Xuan's sleeve stained with chicken droppings?" Pu Yangzhen covered his mouth and nose and shouted.
Xue Jinyi didn't even look at it, and directly took a step back, away from King Chu, "Clean up and come again, otherwise there will be a smell of chicken manure in the medicinal food made." ”
King Chu raised his hand, there was indeed some gray dirt on his sleeve, but it was just the wall dust that he accidentally rubbed, and he dusted off the dust unhurriedly, "Okay." ”
Pu Yangzhen squinted and took a closer look, "It turns out that it's not chicken dung?" She grabbed Xue Jinyi's hand again and pushed it towards the King of Chu, "Then you guys are busy here, I'll ...... I'm going to school! ”
She hurriedly kicked everyone else out of the kitchen, then winked at Xue Jinyi and King Chu, closed the door and ran away.
Snacks were steaming in the kitchen, and the smoke of white flowers was filled with heat, blurring the vision.
Xue Jinyi raised her hand and waved it in front of her, walked over quickly to open the doors and windows, but did not return to the King of Chu, but leaned against the door frame and waved at him, "The snacks in the steamer will take two quarters of an hour, please take care of it, and then what...... I'll leave it to you here, farewell. ”
With that, she lifted her feet to slip.
The king of Chu stepped forward with an arrow and grabbed the back of her neck.
"What are you doing, let go?" Xue Jinyi scolded: "You are so rude! ”
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll slip away." King Chu said indifferently.
"There's nothing for me here," Xue Jinyi thought for a moment, "Don't you eat that dim sum?" ”
"It's not because of this matter," King Chu grabbed her hand instead and came to the motionless black chicken, "You asked me to make medicinal food by myself, but you didn't ask me to handle the ingredients by myself, so please Miss Xue help me kill the chicken." ”
“…… Killing chickens? ”
Seeing that Xue Jinyi's face was a little strange, King Chu said in an affirmative tone: "Yes, please trouble Miss Xue to kill chickens, I won't." ”
