Happy peasant girl

Chapter 424 Sesame Sauce (2)
Several county magistrates have already understood Linqingxi's deep meaning at this time, just because they understand that they have their own considerations while being embarrassed, Linqingxi is helping them in disguise, and at the same time testing them.

"Thank you for your love, sir. After returning home, I will discuss it with my wife and let her come to see you some other day." Su He himself comes from a famous family and is not short of gold and silver, but there is someone who can get closer to Lin Qingxi He didn't want to let go of the opportunity.

There are so many admirable things about this strange woman of Chu State, following her to do things will definitely bring more benefits to the people of Chu State.

Several other people also pondered for a moment, saying that they asked their wives to visit Lin Qingxi another day, and their answers made Lin Qingxi think that they agreed with her idea.

There used to be several vacant large courtyards on Fucheng Street in Bingzhou. When the autumn sesame seeds were about to be harvested, Linqingxi had people re-open these courtyards and heighten the courtyard walls, and also had people rebuild a lot. Stone mills were made, and a deep well was dug in the courtyard.

The first batch of sesame oil and sesame paste that Linqingxi made in the city lord's mansion were sent directly to the palace of Chu State, and on the night when the things arrived at the palace, Chu Huai asked the imperial dining room to cook them in the royal kitchen according to the method mentioned in Linqingxi's secret letter. Sesame oil and sesame paste are added to some of our carefully prepared meals, which are indeed rich in aroma and make the meals more delicious.

Chu Huai also sent some of the sesame oil and sesame paste to the palace of the queen mother, queen and several concubines, and the queen mother was full of praise for the sesame oil and sesame paste.

"Lu Aiqing, what do you think of the sesame oil and sesame paste?" Chu Huai also called Lu Zhiming over while eating.

"Qizou Emperor, this fragrance is so unique, it's really fragrant, I'm afraid I will eat two more bowls of rice with you!" Lu Zhiming said with a smile.

"Hahaha, let's eat. I'm not short of your two bowls of rice. You're a good apprentice. When she arrived in Bingzhou, she was able to discover such a treasure as sesame. Even if someone found it before, it was considered useless. Can you I found her such an intelligent person in the common people's farm, but she is the greatest hero of the Chu country!" Chu Huai said happily.

"I don't dare to be a minister. If the emperor didn't give her enough rights and freedom, this girl would be buried in the countryside, and she wouldn't be able to shine like this dazzling pearl." Lu Zhiming said modestly, and praised the emperor by the way. for a moment.

"She is gold and will shine sooner or later. I just did what an emperor should do. I hope she will not disappoint my expectations and do her best for the people of Chu." Chu Huai looked at Lu Zhiming and said meaningfully.

"Your Majesty don't have to worry, I will always urge Xi'er to let her be grateful for the grace." Lu Zhiming knew that sometimes he should not be too straightforward with the emperor. They have been monarchs and ministers for decades, and anyone can guess who's thinking.

"Well, this kid is a good one. By the way, the war between Qixuan Kingdom and Chu Kingdom this time is the fault of the fourth brother, right?" Chu Huai asked Lu Zhiming to take down the food and talked about serious matters.

"Returning to the emperor, I found out that Wu Ling'er, the princess of Ding, had a secret connection with Wu Feng'er, the princess of Qixuan Kingdom. Originally, King De and Wei Ming were also involved, but the strange thing is that Princess De stopped them, and she also sent some important The news was deliberately leaked to the ministers." Chu Huai had secretly sent Lu Zhiming to investigate Wei Ming's affairs, although Wei Ming was a loyal minister, he valued the future strength of the Wei family more.

"That girl from the Wei family has never given up on Xuan'er. She is smart and infatuated. It's just that Xuan'er doesn't like her. Even if she is scheming and suitable to be the master of the harem, there is no way. In the hands of the second, third, and fourth sons. These sons of mine are not up to the mark, but Xuan'er, alas—" Chu Huai let out a long sigh.

Originally, he thought that the fourth child could be of great use, but who knew that he was entangled by several women, and even Wu Ling'er could fascinate him so much that he was really disappointed.

The second son, King De, is the queen's son, and he looks capable of both civil and military skills, so he is the most suitable candidate for the crown prince. The original prime minister Huai Shaozhi and Zhang Xian were all on his side, but this son is too scheming. If he ascended to the throne, then he would absolutely not be able to tolerate other brothers at that time, and brother killing would be the last thing he, a father, wanted to see.

Although the third child has the support of the Du family, he is indifferent and lacks the ambition and strategy of the second child.

Now what he is most optimistic about is his son Chu Xuan, who he owes too much, but Chu Xuan is so disdainful of the throne, he has even written the imperial edict and handed it to him personally, and he can throw it on the ground viciously .He said that he had never set his sights on the throne.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Chu Kingdom still needs you to carry on. King Wei just has a lot of things he hasn't figured out for the time being. I believe that when that moment comes, he will be able to bear this burden even if he doesn't want to. You I didn't realize that King Wei has changed, and he takes the people of this world more seriously." Lu Zhiming comforted Chu Huai.

"Oh, I hope so too. My health is not as good as before. Before I go to see my ancestors, I will choose the best heir for the people of Chu."

Before he was a father, he was still the king of a country. As an emperor, he was his son. For the future of the Chu country, sometimes he had to be ruthless.

Two days later, King Ding Chu Lingtian was suddenly expelled to Chenzhou by an imperial decree, and King De was reused to help Emperor Chu Huai review the memorial in the side hall of the imperial study.

The state of Chu has never established a crown prince. For a while, many people thought that Chu Huai intended to appoint King De, the queen's son, as the crown prince, and Prince De's mansion began to become the focus of attention of all officials.

After the sesame oil and sesame paste were delivered to the capital, they had already gained fame through the mouths of the emperor and the queen mother, so Lin Qingxi was more concerned about her upcoming royal workshop than about King Ding and King De.

Although it is a royal workshop, the people in the workshop are all from Linqingxi, and before the opening, Yan Yun sent her two shopkeepers.

Lin Qingxi looked at the middle-aged men in their forties in front of him, and felt that they were not like the ordinary shopkeepers that Yan Yun said.

Lin Qingxi personally tested them, whether it is business, hospitality, or accounting, talent and learning, these two people have performed very well, no worse than the people she taught.

"Yuan Yun, tell me the truth, who are they?" Lin Qingxi always felt that these two shopkeepers were not simple.

"They are members of the Spirit Race. They can be selected to work under you this time, but they have been selected through layers of selection. They are absolutely loyal to you. You can use them with confidence!" Yan Yun said with a smile.

When they heard that two people were going to be sent to Lin Qingxi's subordinates, everyone on the island was very excited. To be able to see the future patriarch's wife and become the future patriarch's wife's subordinates is a good thing that many Lingzu people can't wait for.
