Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 42 Go to school!

Xu Yuanyi's weather-beaten face was covered with deep wrinkles.Under the two eyes, the thick bags under the eyes look like two plump silkworms.

Emperor Longtai looked down at him from above.It was discovered that Xu Yuanyi had lost a lot of weight in just one month, and his old body was even more bent than before.

"Quickly grant your seat!" Emperor Longtai ordered, and curiously asked him what he wanted to do when he entered the palace.

Xu Yuanyi recalled what he had discovered last night, his old face flushed with excitement, and he said anxiously: "After a month, the old minister picked all the flowers that bloomed in winter in the house, and dismantled them one by one, and learned that most of them are like Qin Jing. What you said..."

Emperor Longtai could understand when he heard this.

Gradually, as Xu Yuanyi talked about some content about planting in books such as "Nongzheng Quanshu", "Tiangong Kaiwu", and "Qunfangpu".

Emperor Longtai was a little confused.

Then, he frowned. "Xu Qing made a long story short."

Xu Yuanyi said: "Qin Jingqing's method of artificial pollination is very likely to increase food production as he said!"

"Oh, maybe!" Emperor Longtai nodded slightly disappointed.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanyi became anxious, and hurriedly said: "The old minister only asks for an acre of royal agricultural experiment field and a few household members..."

"Xu Qing got sick last year." Emperor Longtai suddenly interrupted Xu Yuanyi's words.

Only then did Xu Yuanyi suddenly remember that he had already resigned.He contemplated Ai Ai and said: "Chen...Chen...I want to ask for an oral order to let...Qin Jingqing envoy...other ways to increase production!"

Emperor Longtai almost laughed when he heard that, "Why do people teach you so well?"

The management summarized by others, unless you want to say it, no one can force it.

I don’t know how many agricultural books have been published in the past dynasties. For example, Xu Guangqi’s "Nongzheng Quanshu", "Sweet Potato Book", "Agricultural Remains Miscellaneous Book", "Draft Agricultural Book", "Taixi Water Law" and other works were forced to write by others. ?

An emperor thinks about centralizing power, an official thinks about climbing high, and a businessman thinks about Dolly.But who would go to farmers to learn skills?
Xu Yuanyi also knew this, and he had only two ways to seek knowledge: one was to let the Xu family's children go to apprentice, and the other was to ask the emperor for oral instructions.

The Xu family's descendants in Beijing are only Xu Xingrui who works in the Qin Tianjian.

There was no way, even though he knew that there was little hope of obtaining an oral order from the emperor, he still came here with the mentality of giving it a try.

The result was just as he thought: no play!

"Your Majesty..." Xu Yuanyi knew very well that if there is a more convenient method, it will completely overthrow the breeding method of thousands of years, so he called again sadly, "This is the method that benefits the country and the people!"

Even though Emperor Longtai knew that if it was feasible, it would be beneficial to the country, but he couldn't issue such absurd verbal instructions no matter what.Rebuked: "Absurd, you are crazy!"

Xu Yuanyi was really helpless, what Qin Zhong said and what he gave opened a new door, and he had a faint feeling that there were countless treasures hidden behind the door.

He just knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty did not want to issue an order, so the old minister offered Qin Jingqing an official position in the household department, and asked him to contribute to the court and Great Chu."

Emperor Longtai stayed for a while.

Just two simple pieces of paper, and a morning conversation, let the former servant of the household department recommend it.

"An undecided thing, what do you recommend!" Although Emperor Longtai paid more attention to Qin Zhong, he couldn't help being annoyed by Xu Yuanyi.

Xu Yuanyi was kicked out of the palace, and in distress he thought of King Zhongshun from the Prime Minister's Household Department.

……

The 22th of the first month.

King Zhongshun entered the court at five o'clock, and when he finished his business, he changed into casual clothes, and saw Xu Yuanyi waiting outside with chariots and horses.

"I hope Mr. Xu's guess is correct." King Zhongshun was persuaded by Xu Yuanyi these days, and he also thought about how to read the contents of the book again, so he just got in the car and went to Qin's house in Qinghe Town.

Just arrived outside the door of Qin's house, called out, and a young servant came out from the door.

King Zhongshun and Xu Yuanyi hadn't declared their family names yet, but they saw the boy look him up with a strange look on his face, and immediately asked with a bright smile, "Are you Mr. Chen Wuye and Mr. Xu from the household department?"

Xu Yuanyi hurriedly replied: "It's us. Is the young master of your family at home? I'm going to pay a special visit."

The servant hurriedly bowed, and apologized and replied: "I'm really sorry, the uncle made a special statement before going out today, and asked the young ones to pay attention. If Chen Wuye and Xu old man come to visit, I have to invite the two adults to come back on the 26th of the first month!"

"What do you mean?" Xu Yuanyi was in a hurry, why did he choose a date?

The boy replied: "The little ones don't know what the old man means, just pass on the message to the grown-ups."

King Zhongshun raised his brows, "How did he know I was coming?"

"How dare the little one ask the old man, but I heard that the old man said that in the next few days, Chen Wuye and the old man Xu may visit. If they come, let the little one come back like this, and if they don't come, we will talk about it."

King Zhongshun and Xu Yuanyi couldn't help being surprised when they heard this.

Can this kid count these things?
The Xu family in Songjiang is a family of astronomical divination. There are quite a few people who have worked in the Qin Tianjian for the past hundred years, but they have never heard of such strange skills.

Xu Yuanyi's shock at the moment was far greater than that of King Zhongshun.

He hurriedly asked: "Did your uncle leave any words?"

The boy shook his head.

King Zhongshun became curious, "He wants us to come back on the 26th of the first lunar month. Could it be that he is not at home these few days?"

The boy said: "This man is right on point. My uncle went to Shenjing City by car early this morning, and will stay in Rongguo Mansion for the next few days, and he will not return until 26."

Rongguo Mansion?

King Zhongshun asked in confusion, "Was the Rongguo mansion of the Jia family in Shenjing City?"

The boy nodded with his chest straightened out, as if Qin Zhong had gone to the Rongguo Mansion, as if his boy had also been involved with the Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing this, King Zhongshun took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

"Can you tell your uncle why he is going to Rongguo Mansion?"

The little servant hastily stretched out his hand to refuse, "It's not a secret that the old man went to Rongguo Mansion, the young one just said it. It's good that the old man doesn't harm the young one, it's different now, the young lady is in charge of the family now. Today the young one is going to accept the old man." The silver, the younger ones will have to be sent out tomorrow."

King Zhongshun knew something about the relationship between the Qin family, and it was even more strange to hear it.

The daughter of the Qin family is said to be seventeen this year, and she was supposed to marry into the Jia family last year, but was destroyed by Qin Jingqing.Now that he is looking for a son-in-law to marry, will he become a family instead?
Since Qin Jingqing ruined Jia Qin's marriage, why did she still live in Jia's Rongguo Mansion?

"How did you get to Rongguo Mansion?" King Zhongshun asked lightly.

The boy replied: "Second Master Bao in Rongguo Mansion begged so much that my uncle could go to Jia's private school to study for a few days every once in a while. Their mansion is far away from ours, so the wives and grandmas in Rongguo Mansion would go to Jia's private school for a few days. If you are enthusiastic, let our uncle live there."

King Zhongshun and Xu Yuanyi felt unreal.

The young fellow who just watched enters the house, but there is nothing he can do.

"He actually went to study!" King Zhongshun smiled wryly, planning to leave.

Xu Yuanyi was unwilling to be reconciled to the closed door, thinking that the sooner the matter could be settled, the better, and suggested, "Go to Jia's house to find him?"

King Zhongshun thought,
