Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 273 Home Visit
Guo Yu excitedly went to announce the good news, leaving Zhang Peng here alone.That's fine, Jin Yu didn't have any pretensions, and after Guo Yu left, Zhang Peng became more lively.

"Dr. Jin's willingness to donate sweet potatoes is really a good deed for the benefit of the people all over the world. I admire it very much!" Zhang Peng looked at the pile of sweet potatoes in front of him with a somewhat excited expression.

"Everywhere, it is His Majesty's discerning eyes. To be honest, a certain kind of sweet potato in Jin really doesn't want to benefit the common people in the world, but just wants to find a way for farmers to earn a little money to spend." Jin Yu humbly said.Guo Yu gave Jin Yu a sense of utilitarianism. Although Zhang Peng is a real person, he is not very good at expressing, and he has not achieved the position of eldest grandson Wuji. What do you mean to benefit the world?Even Changsun Wuji would not dare to say that he has benefited the world, right?This word may only belong to Li Erye now.

Being with Zhang Peng is a bit boring, and besides, this baby's personal hygiene is really bad, I'm afraid it can't compare to any laborer who works in the field.Taking advantage of the opportunity when Xueniang sent someone to cook sweet potatoes, Jin Yu said: "Master Guo has no food, and he can't taste fresh sweet potatoes. Master Zhang will try it first. Mr. Jin still has to write a lesson plan for tomorrow, so I'm sorry. Forgive me."

"Dr. Jin is out. Just go and get busy if you have something to do. Just someone Zhang is here to supervise the battle." Zhang Peng felt a little proud at this moment.In fact, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the roles of civil and military officials changed frequently, and there was no clear dividing line. It was not like the Song Dynasty who underestimated generals. Perhaps this was an important reason why Tang was able to expand its territory.

"Why is my husband back?" As soon as Jin Yu entered the door, he saw that Yang Ying was assigning tasks to the subordinates: "Look for some experienced labor, build some granaries in the backyard as soon as possible, and ask Butler Chen to pay for all expenses."

"Wait first." Jin Yu called to stop the servant, and confirmed with Yang Ying: "My lady also wants to build sweet potatoes in the granary village?"

"That's right, there were few sweet potatoes last year, and they could be released in the cellar. This year, there are so many sweet potatoes, so should they be put on the side of the road?" Yang Ying asked rhetorically.Since the establishment of Zhuangzi, the couple have not had much time to be idle. Jin Yu belongs to the kind of lazy person who can make do with what he can.Logically speaking, a well cellar is the best choice for storing sweet potatoes, but Baicao Beach is close to the Chan River, and if you dig a few meters more, it will become a well, so last year Jinyu directly threw the sweet potatoes into the cellar.

"It's my fault that I didn't think carefully about it." Jin Yu nodded, then explained to Yang Ying, and let the servant know what to do by the way: "Sweet potatoes can't be stored in the granary, and they will be destroyed by freezing in winter. Our cellar It’s small, it’s definitely not fit, and it’s too late to dig it now. Let’s put it in the shed and cellar, occupying several dug sheds. First put some dry straw on the sides and under it, and then sprinkle quicklime two fingers thick, and wait for the sweet potato After the soil is dry, pile it inside, and cover the outside with a thick layer of grass thatch.”

After Jin Yu finished speaking and the servants saw Yang Ying nodding, they left and hurried to make arrangements.Jin Yu was delighted to see this. It seems that his little daughter-in-law has a high prestige, a little bit beyond himself, and she is a good housekeeper.

"I blame my concubine for not being considerate. How can I blame my husband for not being considerate? This is what women should do." After the servant left, Yang Ying stepped forward to support Jin Yu, "My husband has been tired all day. , go back to the house and rest."

"I let you say everything. If you hadn't nodded just now, I'm afraid people wouldn't dare to put it in the shed. It's weird." Jin Yu scratched Yang Ying's nose dotingly, a teenage girl , no matter how you say it can't be considered mature, thinking about what I have done gives me an evil pleasure...

"My husband will make trouble." Yang Ying blushed, gently twisted Jin Yu's arm, and asked again: "Why did my husband come back so soon before I told my concubine? Why didn't the two adults, Guo and Zhang, return?" Are you in the field? How rude of you to come back like this."

"The production of sweet potatoes is good. Guo Yu went to the palace to announce the good news, and Zhang Peng is supervising the work. Anyway, I don't have anything to do there." Jin Yu said indifferently.

"Did Mr. Guo enter the palace to announce the good news? How many sweet potatoes did you bring?" Yang Ying asked eagerly.

"Two yuan, one in each hand, and I don't know how he pulls the rein." These days, people basically carry a lap pocket when they travel, with two pockets at the front and one at the back, which are convenient for storing things.There are no pockets on the outside of the clothes, at most there is a side pocket inside, where you can put some loose silver coins or something.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yang Ying rubbed her chest with her small hand, as if she was alive after a catastrophe, "Guo Yu can't let Guo Yu take the lead by himself for such a great contribution, so I will pack up some sweet potatoes for my husband to send to the palace." Here, let the nobles try something new."

"It's not necessary, is it?" Jin Yu felt that Yang Ying was making a big fuss. Second Master Li's family often came to his house, and they basically ate the sweet potatoes. Of course, the harem of Second Master Li had eaten a lot of them. many.

"Why is there no need for this? It's a rare item, and other families don't have it. If we don't give it away after it's produced, it seems that our family is not polite? How disrespectful?" Yang Ying explained solemnly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jin Yu surrendered and obeyed Yang Ying.In terms of identity, Li Erye's family is the opposite of Yang Ying's father. Since Yang Ying still wants to build a good relationship, no matter what aspect she considers, Jin Yu is happy to see it succeed, and have one more friend. It's better than one more enemy, not to mention that Li Erye's family has such thick thighs?Be sure to hug well.

Giving gifts is actually a technical task. To put it more elegantly, it is called art!With the progress of the times, the methods are becoming more and more hidden. What kind of brushes, Wenwan, orchids are leftovers from other people's play, and the more hidden ones are like lottery tickets, unexpected income, although the amount Not much, but better than being safe.

Jin Yu’s behavior of giving away sweet potatoes swaggering in a carriage belongs to the last class, and it would be a strange thing to prevent people from being beaten out in later generations, but the nature is a bit different now, I believe that Li Erye is very happy to accept this pile of gifts from Jin Yu sweet potato.

In the car, Jin Yu was thinking, just go straight to the palace like this?Tell the Datang royal guard on duty that he is here to give Li Erye a gift?Let alone my level, even if my level is enough, the guards may not even notify me.What's more, I pretended not to know Li Erye. Wouldn't it be obvious when we met like this?Well, let's take a curve, let's forget about the little fat man, he can't deal with himself.Changle?Or Chengqian?At least for now, Li Chengqian left a good impression on himself, he respected himself from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't fool himself. I think he was the person in charge of the sweet potato planting base hand-picked by Li Erye back then, right?Then help him again and let Changle deliver it!

With a decision, Jin Yu went straight to Yanximen, and the cars were less and less as he went to the palace.The idea is very good, but the royal guards are still difficult to pass, and they are called to stop after a long distance. Fortunately, Jin Yu's reputation is big enough, and he is also the prince's teacher. The guards are watching Jin Yu's fish. After Fu, he didn't make things difficult for Jin Yu.

"I wonder if Dr. Jin can be summoned by His Majesty?" the guard asked respectfully.

"Your Majesty has never summoned you." Jin Yu replied honestly.Originally, Jin Yu thought he would be stopped at the gate of the palace, but why was he stopped at Yanxi Gate?I remember the last time Changle invited me to dinner, it was also stopped at Chengtianmen.

"The inner city is where the ministers work. I don't know why Dr. Jin is here?" It sounds to Jin Yu that you are not high enough, what are you doing here?

"This..." Jin Yu scratched his head a little. He never expected to be stuck in the first level. It seems that it is not easy to give gifts to Li Erye now. Could it be that he just went home like this?

"If there is nothing important, please ask Dr. Jin to go back. It would be bad to offend the ministers." The guard advised.These words couldn't be more obvious, as if to say, to save you some face, go quickly, don't be ignorant of flattery.

Jin Yu was very upset after hearing this, ya ya, isn't it just an imperial city?I think back then when Lao Tzu walked around the city wall of Xi’an, no one pushed him three times or four times, and the Forbidden City in Beijing didn’t say that he would not be allowed to enter. He just bought a ticket. I got stuck here, and I had to go in!With a flash of inspiration, Jin Yu said solemnly: "Actually, I'm here to visit my home."

"Home... visit...?" The guard was confused when he heard this.

"Yes, home visit!" Jin Yu said affirmatively: "The teacher should be responsible for his students, who recently...His Royal Highness and Princess Changle's grades are a bit unsatisfactory, Jin needs to find out what they are doing, Can you still play well...well, can you study hard?"

After listening to Jin Yu's words, the guard was already petrified. He had been on guard for so long, and he had never seen such an inconsequential reason. A doctor of the Imperial College really thought he was the prince and grand master?

While the guard was still in a daze, Jin Yu pulled out two pieces of sweet potatoes from the car, regardless of Han Wu who was at a loss, and continued to fool the guard: "Actually, Jin came today, His Royal Highness and Princess Changle knew about it." , This is the token, as long as they see it, they will understand everything."

"..." The guard mechanically took the sweet potato, and seeing Jin Yu's swearing, he believed most of it, but he still doubted and said, "But your highnesses didn't tell me in advance..."

"What do the two Highnesses need to report to the guards? Is there such a rule in the palace?" Jin Yu pretended not to know, and said kindly: "Jin can wait here, if you ask, will you have an answer? I'm afraid you can't afford to delay the home visit, right?"

"...Dr. Jin will go down and ask the superior officer later." The guard held two pieces of sweet potatoes, made a strange salute, turned his head and left.

After watching the guards leave, Jin Yu turned his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead, just in time to see Han Wu gave him a thumbs up in admiration, and glared at him: "Be honest, don't let others see." Although I am sure that the two students will cooperate with me, but what if Second Master Li finds out?It's still a little thoughtless, but I'm afraid Erye Li is not so meticulous, right?It can't be cheap, Erye Li's family, is it easy for me to give you a gift?After a while, I will ask the little girl in Changle to ask her parents for an autograph, so that the sweet potatoes will be easy to sell, and I will not be in vain for committing such a crime.
