peasant queen

Chapter 203

Today, she chose a teahouse, intending to go in and see if there is anything new going on recently.

After entering the teahouse, Jiang Wan chose a slightly off-center place in the lobby to sit down and drink tea.

The tea came quickly, and two dishes of side dishes were also served.

Jiang Wan asked Du Juan and Haitang to sit down and drink together, otherwise they would block other people's sight by standing behind them.

Jiang Wan drank tea while listening to the conversations of the people around her.

The voices of those people were not loud, but Jiang Wan could just hear them.

At the beginning, Jiang Wan was not interested in which official took a concubine, which young master went to a brothel again.

Talking and talking, they somehow came to talk about her.

It is said that the new emperor ascended the throne and married a peasant girl to be the queen.Although she is beautiful, she is useless and doesn't know a single word.I also heard that they have been married for more than half a year, and there is no movement in their stomachs.

The people on the side also said: yes, yes.I have been married for such a long time, and I haven't had a baby yet, so it's possible that I can't have a baby!
Another person went on to say: Tell me, will the emperor choose a draft next year?
It should be!After all, the emperor can't guard a queen who can't give birth?The person next to him continued.

Du Juan Haitang, who was sitting on both sides of Jiang Wan, was so angry that she wanted to settle accounts with these bad-mouthed people on the spot.Jiang Wan stopped the two of them in a hurry, then shook her head at her.

After the two of them sat down, Jiang Wan started drinking tea in a nonchalant manner.

These people talked for a while after drinking tea, and they left one after another.Jiang Wan raised her head and made a gesture towards Du Juan and Haitang, motioning them to follow.

Jiang Wan put down her teacup and followed, followed closely by Haitang.After paying the money, Du Juan also followed.

Jiang Wan and the others followed behind those people, and then separated after seeing them pass two intersections.Jiang Wan thought for a while and followed the person who mentioned her first.

I saw people looking left and right, and saw no one behind them, so they walked into the back door of a yard.

Jiang Wan looked back at Haitang.

Haitang understood, and immediately went around to the front door to check on the owner of the house.

Jiang Wan and Du Juan waited in place for a while, and not long after, Haitang came back.She told Jiang Wan, "Master, this is the residence of Mr. Huang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry?I don't seem to have a problem with him, why would he let people gossip about him in the market?
unless?There is a daughter in his family, and he intends to send it to the palace.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan asked Haitang to find out how many ladies are there in Mrs. Huang's house?How old are you?

As soon as Jiang Wan said it, Haitang knew what was going on.She left immediately to check the situation of the Huang family.

After Haitang left, Jiang Wan took Du Juan to continue shopping around the various buildings on the street.

Unexpectedly, she really found out a lot.And they are not the same person, but they choose to use the same method to slander Jiang Wan.

It seems that these ministers want to send their daughters to the palace!

Here Jiang Wan is still thinking about how to deal with them!The next day, in the morning.The ministers began to play Chu Yan, asking him to accept the harem, and spread the leaves.

Chu Yan didn't get angry when he heard that, these old ministers relied on their own qualifications to grow old.

He doesn't point fingers at the Empress all day long, but always likes the matter of the Emperor's harem.Chu Yan didn't even look at the memorial in his hand, and asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"

The ministers below look at you, and I look at me.They all shook their heads and said: I don't know.

Chu Yan looked at the crowd expressionlessly and said: "Today is the day Grand Master Chen promised to give up the city to Ximo, and the Northwest army will soon run out of food.

And you are still worrying about my harem.Have you ever thought about what would happen if the soldiers in Shacheng ran out of food?
Say it! "

At the end, Chu Yan's tone was obviously bad.It could even be seen that he was holding back the anger in his heart.

Now, the ministers didn't dare to speak.

Chu Yan looked at the old officials below, one by one selling their old ones.When the people I'm looking for come to the capital, I'll be the first to replace those who dance the most.

After saying this, Chu Yan left. Anyway, in the eyes of these ministers, there is nothing else but the draft.

Chu Yan, who returned to the imperial study, looked at the letter from the northwest, and a smile appeared on his face.

Fortunately, I have already made arrangements, relying on these old things, nothing can be done.I don't know how many of them are Grand Master Chen's Chang Yu?
However, it doesn't matter, these moths will be found out one day.

In the following time, Chu Yan focused on the northwest border.There are also several uncles and elder brothers of Wan'er who want to transfer them back.

It's just that it's not easy to deal with the big uncle.

Thinking of the letter from the border last time, Chu Yan had a headache.Unexpectedly, the eldest uncle was unwilling to leave the border, and even the third uncle who was with him was unwilling to leave.

Fortunately, the second and fourth uncles agreed to leave.Then call them back first.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan wrote a letter to the general in the northwest.

After writing the letter, Chu Yan asked Jing Xuan to transport the grain and grass that had been prepared to the northwest.

In addition, [-] troops were transferred from Qingyuan, Linyuan, Jinyuan, and the three prefectures of Jinyuan. On the one hand, they were protecting the food and grass, and on the other hand, they were preparing to seize Macheng, which had been occupied by Ximo soldiers.

Macheng is an important city connecting Eastern Shang and the border, and it must not fall into the hands of Ximo, even if there is a war.

There are also clothes to keep out the cold, which need to be prepared by the household department.

Speaking of keeping out the cold, Chu Yan thought of the white flowers planted in Jiangyang Village.According to Wan'er, this kind of flower is called cotton, which can keep out the cold.And it works great.

Wan'er also gave him some seeds, saying that they were used for experiments.

I have been busy with training troops to seize the position before, and forgot about these seeds.Now is the time to try it out?

However, Wan'er said that the cotton seedlings are also afraid of freezing.Therefore, it is best to start planting again in March and April.

But now it's the end of October, and winter is coming soon.It seems that we can only wait until next year to plant again.

However, what should the soldiers at the border pass do today?
After thinking for a long time, Chu Yan didn't think of any good solution.We can only use fur and reeds to protect the soldiers from the cold as in previous years.

After Chu Yan confessed these things, he went to Jiang Wan.

I want to ask Jiang Wan if there is any way?To keep the soldiers warmer.Because it is too cold for side delivery, many people freeze to death there every year.

Also, the sandy soil over there is not suitable for growing food.I don't know if there are any plants in Wan'er that are suitable for the environment there?
When Chu Yan came to Renming Hall, Jiang Wan was embroidering.

Although the embroidery was still not good, Chu Yan could at least recognize it as a flower, but he didn't know what kind of flower it was?
Chu Yan didn't dare to ask, so he had to wait aside.Until Jiang Wan finished embroidering the flower.

However, Chu Yan looked at it for a long time but couldn't tell whether it was a peony or a peony?
After Jiang Wan embroidered the peony, she turned around and saw Chu Yan's enlarged face.She was so frightened that her hand trembled, and the embroidery needle in her hand fell to the ground.
