Chapter 38: Discarding the Old and Replacing the New
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the Lingling, "Is this okay?" β
At this time, Xia Xiaoyu stood up, holding Qianling with one hand and Baili Huaqing with the other, "Let's go shopping on the street, and if I and Qianling see something, you will be responsible for buying it for us, which can be regarded as a thank you to Qianling." β
Baili Huaqing softened his face, "No!" β
Qian Ling thought for a while, then pointed at Xia Xiaoyu and said, "I want her to accompany me back to Xilinguo." As soon as the words fell, Qian Ling saw that Baili Huaqing's face was green, and before he had a seizure, she was busy haha, "I'm joking, look at you, your face is green." β
"Tell me, what do you want? If I can do it, I will do it. Baili Huaqing looked at Ling Ling seriously.
Now, she only hopes that Xia Xiaoyu can be happy.
She won't be sad either!
"You don't come to this set, I don't want this verbal thanks, it's too fake. I needed something practical. Qian Ling couldn't help laughing, she came to Baili Huaqing with a purpose, and there was no so-called love, so there was nothing to let go of.
Xia Xiaoyu curled her lips and smiled, "Thank you for not robbing you." β
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you!"
Ling Ling rubbed his arms vigorously with both hands, with a look of disgust and more envy than disgust, and said: "I don't want a man who doesn't love me!" I'm a princess, and I have my pride and self-esteem. You guys are about to harvest this disgusting expression, and I watched goosebumps rise. β
"Hmm." Baili Huaqing shook her back hard.
Xia Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and clenched Baili Huaqing's hand, "I will do my best to help you, I won't do that kind of irresponsible thing." β
He couldn't rest assured.
You're right!
Baili Huaqing fell silent and stopped talking.
Momentarily choked.
"Are you still the same Prince An?" Ling Ling looked at Baili Huaqing like a monster, "Under the whole world, it is not the imperial land." You are not an ordinary person, how can you have such a naΓ―ve and unrealistic idea? Or, are you really relieved that these ordinary people who don't have enough to eat? β
"As long as I don't want to, no one can force me. Big deal, I left with Xiaoyu and Huniu and Ping'an, and we went to live that incognito life. Baili Huaqing looked at Xia Xiaoyu affectionately, and saw that the smile on the corner of Xia Xiaoyu's mouth became brighter and brighter, at this moment, he really had this idea.
Lingpi looked at him with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll be involuntarily." β
"Of course not!" Baili Huaqing immediately took a stand.
Xia Xiaoyu put down the teacup, looked at him sternly, and asked, "Will you be snatched away by her?" β
"She said she was going to rob you of your father-in-law. Aren't you worried? Baili Huaqing felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and felt abandoned by his daughter-in-law.
"That's right! That's it! "Xiaoyu is really good, this friend, she really didn't make a mistake.
"Huh?"
"Xiaoyu, do you still think this kind of person is a friend?" Baili Huaqing complained to Xia Xiaoyu, but Xia Xiaoyu glanced at him lightly, "First of all, you have to treat her as my friend." β
Putting down the cruel words, Qian Ling saw that Baili Huaqing's face was very ugly, and his heart was much more comfortable, he poured tea by himself, and tasted it leisurely.
Anyway, she is also the princess of a country, when did she become so unpopular?
The last time the two kissed unexpectedly, she didn't do anything, but Dongzi looked like a ghost.
"I'm not scared, no one in the West Border Country dares to show me a look. If I'm not upset about you, I'll take you with me. "Qian Ling was also angry, and a guard in Dongzi avoided her like a plague god, and she was angry when she thought about it.
"You dare?"
"Baili Huaqing, don't take an inch, no matter how I say it, I am also the princess of Xilinguo, the empress dowager and the emperor's favorite princess An, if you do this again, don't blame me for pestering you. After I returned to Beijing, I said that you would not marry, I think you can marry Xiaoyu? β
When he heard this, his whole face darkened.
Baili Huaqing gave her a blank look, "Dongzi is my right and left hand, and he has become your little follower, I really wronged him." Thinking of Dongzi's dissatisfaction and complaints every time, Baili Huaqing felt that he was really sorry for his brother.
"That's pretty much it." Ling Ling's face softened a little.
"If you don't want to go, you can't go!" Baili Huaqing didn't care about Ling Ling's feelings, his elbow was lightly bumped by Xia Xiaoyu, he turned his head and saw that Xia Xiaoyu was quite satisfied, and softened his tone again, "I'll let Dongzi follow, and let him help you carry things in the back, so it's always okay, right?" β
In comparison, Ling Ling was a little unhappy, and she murmured on the side: "You are a big man to accompany you, so where is the convenience?" You're going to leave me alone in the cold, it's boring. β
"No problem!" Xia Xiaoyu responded happily.
Bailihua bowed his head, "I'll go with you." However, this will be the end of the meal, and you will all have to rest for a while before you set off. β
"Of course it's true!" Xia Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
Baili Huaqing couldn't wait to throw the Ling Ling out immediately, but Xia Xiaoyu next to him was looking at him with interest, he didn't have a good seizure, so he had to keep smiling against his will. He withdrew his gaze, looked at Xia Xiaoyu gently, and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you really want to go shopping?" β
"That's what I thought too." Xia Xiaoyu nodded in agreement.
Ling Ling held his chin with both hands, thinking very seriously, completely ignoring Baili Huaqing's hint, "If it were me, I would definitely not marry." β
The threat in his eyes, how could Qian Ling not see it, but she pretended to be stupid and couldn't understand it, and said that she would take Xia Xiaoyu to go shopping together, "I'm not tired, I've been resting for a long time." Xia Xiaoyu turned her head and looked at Ling Ling gloomily, and asked sadly: "Ling Ling, if you don't have any freedom, do you think I still want to get married?" β
Baili Huaqing frowned, and looked at the Ling Ling beside Xia Xiaoyu, "Princess Ling Ling, you are very tired, I know." β
"No! I'm going! Xia Xiaoyu and Ling Ling said in unison.
"You're going for a walk?" Baili Huaqing put down the dishes and chopsticks, and when he saw Xia Xiaoyu nodded, he frowned and shook his head, "No!" There are a lot of people outside, and now you are double, and you can't go out into the streets. What if something happens? Can't go! After eating, you take a rest, and we'll go back later. β
"Eat! If you don't eat, you won't have the strength to go out later. β
Qian Ling only ate a few things before stopping, turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoyu, and said, "Xiaoyu, these dishes are not as delicious as what you make at all." β
That's when everyone started moving.
After tasting a few dishes, Xia Xiaoyu's excitement just now has been completely extinguished, this table is the main dish of the first restaurant, and she really has too high expectations. She tasted them one by one with great interest, "Let's eat it, don't always look at me." β
"Try this crispy bone again." Baili Huaqing sandwiched another piece of crispy bones for her, Xia Xiaoyu tasted it and nodded, "It's okay!" β
Xia Xiaoyu swallowed the food in her mouth, and said with some disappointment in her eyes: "Average!" β
"What does it taste like?" Baili Huaqing asked lightly.
The taste is similar to the average hot and sour lotus root tip, and it is not as delicious as she expected. That's right, too! She shouldn't have too high expectations, thinking that when she first arrived in the other courtyard, those people who ate were really not particular about eating, presumably the people in this hundred miles country were not good at cooking.
Xia Xiaoyu frowned, picked up the tip of the lotus root and lowered his head to take a bite.
Lotus root tips are also rare?
After speaking, he sandwiched a piece of hot and sour lotus root tip to her, "This thing is very expensive and tastes good, try it." β
"You're so nice!" Xia Xiaoyu happily pulled Ling Ling into the private room, Baili Huaqing's eyes swept around the second floor, and he didn't see any suspicious characters, so he followed in and sat next to Xia Xiaoyu. He looked at Xia Xiaoyu dotingly, and took the lead in picking up chopsticks, "Eat!" β
Baili Huaqing looked at the shop in front of the window that Xiao Er was packing up his things, so he sighed inside, and said, "Everything has been delivered, go in and eat." β
Qian Ling hurriedly turned her head to look, and when she saw that Situ Hanmo's figure was no longer visible, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I didn't let the imperial brother and Baili Huaqing bump into each other, otherwise, I really don't know how to end? I don't know if Baili Huaqing knows the imperial brother, if he does, it will be troublesome.
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, and pointed to the side in front of the window, "There's a ...... there." Creak? What about people? β
The door of the private room was opened by someone, Baili Huaqing's face was not very good, and his narrow phoenix eyes exuded clusters of unknown light, "Which man is good-looking?" β
Xia Xiaoyu smiled, "Okay! All right! You don't! It's just that the men are good-looking, I ......."
"I really don't!" Ling Ling was a little anxious.
"I don't believe it!" With a sly light flashing under his eyes, Xia Xiaoyu tapped Ling Ling's elbow with a twitch, and asked with a smile: "You are like this, I can know what's going on at a glance?" You, you've never been so honest in your daily life, you must be embarrassed in front of other handsome guys. β
Tilting the soul stiffened his face, "No." β
"Tilt Ling, tell me honestly, did you see that man was very good-looking, so you were embarrassed?" Xia Xiaoyu joked as she walked.
Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but be very interested, and nodded to Situ Hanmo and left with Ling Ling.
At this time, Ling Ling shook Xia Xiaoyu's arm nervously, "Xiaoyu, I'm hungry, let's go eat?" After eating, let's have a good time shopping, I have a lot of things I want to buy. β
Situ Hanmo smiled and shook his head, "The girl is polite." β
Xia Xiaoyu noticed Situ Hanmo in a gorgeous costume at this time, seeing that he was gentle and elegant, and there was a noble and elegant aura emanating from his gestures, his eyes couldn't help but brighten, and he hurriedly thanked him: "This son, thank you so much." β
Qian Ling glanced at the money bag, and hurriedly reached out to take it, "Thank you, Childe!" β
"Then let's go find Baili Huaqing to have dinner together, he is already waiting for us in the private room. I heard that this restaurant is the best in Anseong, and their main dishes are not bad. Xia Xiaoyu took her hand and pulled her away. Qian Ling paused slightly, and at this time, Situ Hanmo picked up a money bag from the ground, looked at Qian Ling and asked, "Girl, your money bag has fallen." β
When he heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, good!" β
Xia Xiaoyu finished the food party and went up to the second floor to find Ling Ling, "Ling Ling, the matter is over." Later, after dinner, let's go out on the street together, okay? β
The scene eased down, and Lei Yiming announced that the food party was over, and if there was any news in the future, the government would issue a notice to inform everyone. β¦β¦
Hearing that the official gave time to consider, and it was not mandatory, opening the mountain to plant fruit trees and tea trees, and when there was no harvest in the previous few years, Chaoyan also gave subsidies, everyone was overjoyed, and they couldn't help but start gearing up.
Baili Huaqing nodded, stepped forward to the center of the stage, and simply expressed his meaning.
Xia Xiaoyu walked to Baili Huaqing's side, stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve, Baili Huaqing turned his head and listened to her intently, "This matter can't be rushed, we can completely agree to everyone's request and come step by step." We have limited food varieties, so we will start by planting fruit trees on the mountain, so that everyone can accept it a little easier. β
However, no one directly agrees with the land reform.
As soon as you said a word, I said a word, and the discussion began.
"Lord Wang, otherwise, you can find a land to try to plant for a few years, and everything will be smooth, and it will not be too late for us to talk about these things."
"Lord Wang, if we can give potato seeds to every household, we may consider making a piece of land to try."
Immediately after that, everyone took a wait-and-see attitude.
The scene on the first floor began to be controlled, and I don't know who shouted, "Lord Wang, those fields are our lifeblood, we can't make such a rash decision." That's related to the belly of our family, and it's not a trivial matter. β
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a few plates of exquisite dishes, and Situ Hanmo didn't stop after sandwiching the first piece, making a liquidator for the first time.
Situ Hanmo nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, little second brother." As he spoke, he took out a small gold bead and stuffed it into the hand of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper spread out his hand and looked at it, he was startled, this customer was really generous, he hurriedly smiled and promised, "Customer, you wait, I'll go." β
"Little second brother, are there any delicacies on the stage? I also want to try it, so that it is really worth the trip. Situ Hanmo had a little regret on his face and glanced at the empty countertop. Xiao Er thought for a moment in embarrassment, and then responded: "Guest, the second batch is just going to be made in the kitchen, I'll go down and take a look, although I will bring a little to the guest to taste." β
This girl is now turning her elbow outward.
Situ Hanmo looked up at Ling Ling, who immediately retracted his excitement and sat down again.
She has a share of the tomato sauce, from picking to washing, to making zuΓ² later, she is involved.
As he listened, he was overjoyed.
Xiao Er swallowed his saliva and said, "We have all the shopkeepers." The sweet and sour taste is really good, and the pork short ribs fried in that sauce are really delicious. β
"Really?" Qian Ling stood up excitedly, turned to look at the shopkeeper, "Where's that ketchup?" β
When the little two heard this, they were immediately relieved, "The guest must be worth the trip, even our shopkeeper praised the delicacies on the stage just now, and he just ordered potatoes and tomatoes with that Xia girl." We have many branches, such a good thing, absolutely selling. β
Situ Hanmo smiled and said, "The little second brother is really a good eyesight, he is indeed a foreigner in Xiaxia, and he has been doing business all year round. On this trip, I heard that Prince An set up a food table today, so I specially watched here to see the demeanor of Prince An. β
Did he come this time for Baili Huaqing, or Xia Xiaoyu?
How could the royal brother come here with only Zuo Feng? He is the king of a country, isn't he afraid of being discovered and causing a war between the two countries? Also, what the imperial brother has planned all these years is to annex Baili Country, he even infiltrated the Eagle Gang into Baili Country, and even to Baili Huaqing's side, how can he have worries?
He couldn't help but freeze his body, anxious and afraid.
"You're right! We are more peaceful here than Fengcheng, we just don't close our doors here at night, and there will be no petty theft. These, all of them are well managed by Prince An. Xiao Er said and paused, "Guest, you don't sound like a local, you're from out of town, right?" β
Sure enough, Xiao Er immediately chatted with him.
When the man heard this, he immediately became interested, "Yes, Lord An's fiefdom is well managed, and your Ancheng is now the most stable and peaceful place in the Hundred Miles Country." "He can see this little two clearly, he has no scheming, and he doesn't have a check on his lips, if you flatter him a few words, he will crackle and talk non-stop.
"Of course." Xiao Er nodded arrogantly, and was recognized by the man, and the smile on his face was even worse. Looking at the high platform in front of the first floor, he looked at the majestic Baili Huaqing, and said with a look of worship: "Our Prince An is also a well-known figure, if it weren't for him, we little people wouldn't have much to live in peace." β
The man nodded and said with a smile: "Wuzhen's single cong has always been in short supply, it seems that your shopkeeper does have certain means." β
Xiao Er came over with a smile to refill the water, and hurriedly agreed, "This guest has good eyesight, this tea is the Dancong tea in Wuzhen in the western country." For these single bush teas, our shopkeepers have spent a lot of energy and financial resources. β
The man sitting back to back with her nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and praised, "Good tea!" It is worthy of being the Wuzhen Dancong tea in the west of the country, the tea color is clear, and the tea taste is sweet. β
Tilting paused, hesitated, and sat down again.
On the second floor of [Yue'an Restaurant], Ling Ling looked down and saw a familiar figure in the boiling crowd, she couldn't help frowning, and got up to leave. A cold and deep voice sounded beside him, "Ling'er, don't forget that you are the princess of Xilin Kingdom. β
Lei Yiming nodded, understanding what he meant.
He waved his hand and motioned to Lei Yiming to let everyone discuss it first, and he couldn't be in a hurry to persuade him.
Withdrawing his gaze from the crowd, Baili Huaqing turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoyu, only to see that her expression was faint, and she did not mean to be in a hurry. On the other hand, Baili Huaqing smiled with self-deprecating lips, Xia Xiaoyu said on the way, if you are not in a hurry, people's thoughts cannot be changed all at once.
In the crowd, everyone turned their heads to each other, and all kinds of doubts could be vaguely heard, but no one immediately expressed their approval.
Baili Huaqing was in a hurry.
Looking at the qiΔ in front of him, Xia Xiaoyu was not much surprised, if you want the people to change the previous qiΔ all at once, this is really not something that can be done all at once.
The enthusiasm of the people seemed to be extinguished in an instant.
When the words fell, in the crowd, it was so quiet that the needles could be heard.
Lei Yiming saw that the people's feelings were rising, so he changed his words and said: "Since this is the case, should we all abandon the old and use the new?" Shouldn't we plant new varieties and change the current farming methods? β
"Don't worry! I'm not going to take their lives here. β
