Chapter 336
When Lan Xi stepped into the door, she saw Chang Wenwu was downcast.

She smiled and said, "Mother is looking better and better now, where do you need those things, standing with Ling'er, you are two sisters."

Liu Cuie covered her mouth and tried not to laugh out loud, but the corners of her mouth did not obey her control.

"My eldest son has a sweet mouth, so you should learn from my second son, no wonder he can't marry a wife."

As he spoke, he gave Chang Wenwu a blank look, which made him even more depressed.

As Liu Cuie sighed, she looked at her two eldest sons, the eldest was twenty, the second was seventeen, both of whom were married, yet none of them married.

The boss is fine, and the second child has only passed the scholar examination, but if he has no job to earn a living and no children to take care of, what will he do? She has to quickly find a wife for the second child.

Suddenly, Liu Cuie thought of something and took an invitation card from the table.

"Qiao'er from your uncle's family is going to get married. She said she married a prince or concubine. What do you think?"

Lan Xi couldn't help raising her eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, Chang Qiaoer was two years older than the original owner, and she just got married now. She can be called an old girl in this era.

However, as a commoner, she was able to marry a prince, so it was a bit unreal.

Liu Cui'e asked carefully, "Eldest son, does this have any effect on you? She is married to a prince. She is called Prince Kang, the son of the emperor."

Chang Wenwu next to him said in a low voice, "Chang Wenqing also passed the Jinshi examination this year, but he is just a fellow Jinshi, and now he is an official in the Ministry of Rites."

Lan Xi glanced at Chang Wenwu, "Did he tell you personally?"

Chang Wenwu nodded, "Some time ago, I happened to meet him on the street, and he was very proud, but I don't believe it is his own ability that he can stay in the capital as a fellow Jinshi.

Now that his elder sister is marrying Prince Kang, it's clear. "

Lan Xi rubbed his chin. During this period of time, he was busy with the rice business, but he didn't care about this year's imperial examination.

Then he said to Liu Cuie, "Mother, I'm just a petty official, and I don't know any Lord Kang, so it doesn't affect me much. This invitation, if you want to go, go, if you don't go, forget it."

Lan Xi knew the grievances between Liu Cuie and Da Fang, so naturally she would not take the initiative to persuade them.

Liu Cuie also breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to drag her son down,

"That's good. I don't want to see the faces of those in Dafang. Whoever wants to go can go."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chang Erhai who was sitting next to him, and Chang Erhai also gave him a wink, "Since you are not going, then I am not going either."

This made Liu Cuie a little satisfied.

Maybe it was because she was busy with rice, but she was no longer so busy these days, so Lan Xi realized how much sensation Prince Kang's marriage had caused in the capital.

Even He Jin and Qiu Feng, who worked together, were talking about it.

"Have you heard that Lord Kang is going to marry an ordinary peasant girl this time?"

"That's up to you. Everyone in the capital knows that Lord Kang wanted to marry her two years ago, but he was rejected by the other party. For this woman, Lord Kang's side concubine position has been suspended for two years."

Qiu Feng was still very surprised, "I can't tell that Prince Kang is still an infatuated person, but what is so good about this woman that makes Prince Kang so infatuated."

He Jin said very ordinaryly, "It's just an ordinary peasant girl, I heard that she is already in her twenties, and the family runs some small business."

After hearing this, Lan Xi couldn't help being amused. Her business is not small at all, and she is the owner behind Qiaozhuang Pavilion.

In the past two years, Qiaozhuangge can be said to be the most popular rouge shop in the capital, and some novel cosmetics are released from time to time, so many officials and wives rush to buy them, even princesses and concubines will come.

Moreover, Qiaozhuang Pavilion added some hunger marketing, and the force has risen several levels.

Lan Xi didn't want to pay attention to these things, and most of them learned about them through Liu Cui'e.

On the day when Lord Kang got married, he gave Chang Qiaoer a lot of face, and made others envious.

Compared with marrying a concubine, all the specifications are not much less than that of marrying a concubine, and they are envied by all the women. In their view, Chang Qiaoer simply climbed up the branch to become a phoenix, and reached the sky in one step. To be favored by the prince.

When the heat of this matter subsides a little, the rice in the farm will be harvested soon.

This morning, Lan Xi was observing the situation of the rice, and saw six people approaching. Although they were dressed in a low-key manner, Lan Xi could still see the emperor walking in the middle at a glance.

Lan Xi only took the Jinshi exam that time, and he could see the emperor from a distance every year, but he has a good memory, so he can naturally recognize the emperor among them.

On the left is Lord Wenchangzong, Shangshuzong of the Ministry of Industry, and on the right is Lord Zhou, followed by a thin-skinned and fleshy father-in-law. Judging from his fierce face, the two behind should be guards.

Emperor Wei Qing was 50 years old. He was tall and muscular. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he did not lose his majesty. He was wearing a dark golden long coat. If you look closely, you can see five-clawed golden dragons embroidered inside the cuffs on both sides.

After the six people walked in, Master Zhou waved to Lan Xi, and Lan Xi stepped forward to salute.

Emperor Wei Qing had an amiable look on his face, "Excuse me, I just came to see the rice that Zhou Aiqing mentioned, it can increase the yield by [-]% compared with ordinary rice, and it opened my eyes."

While talking, he said jokingly, "If Zhou Aiqing lies, I will not obey, and Aiqing must be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Mr. Zhou was not afraid either, "The emperor can check it himself, I dare not make half a lie, if there is a half lie, let the emperor deal with it."

Emperor Wei Qing laughed loudly, "I just like the vigor in Mr. Zhou."

After finishing speaking, he actually walked into the rice field, and the few people behind naturally followed, Lan Xi walked at the end, silent.

As Emperor Wei Qing walked, he asked about rice, and Master Zhou explained it.

In the end, Master Zhou pushed Lan Xi out, "Your Majesty, this paddy field was planted by Mr. Chang alone, and it was his painstaking research that allowed the rice production to increase."

Now Emperor Wei Qing half believed it. He had personally seen these two acres of well-growing rice, and found that the ears of rice were full, and there were few diseases, which was obviously different from others.

Hearing Lord Zhou's words, Emperor Wei Qing asked in surprise, "Oh, where is the chief executive?"

At this time, Lan Xi took the initiative to stand up and saluted, "Your Majesty, Chang Wenxuan, the head of the Tuntian Division of Weichen, has the honor to serve in the Tuntian Division, and is honored to be appreciated by Your Majesty. He has been studying agriculture for the past two years."

Emperor Wei Qing was also quite surprised when he saw Lan Xi, "I didn't expect Director Chang to be able to research the method of increasing rice production at such a young age. He is really young and promising."

Naturally, Lan Xi didn't dare to answer these words, "This minister is only doing his duty, and Tuntian Division has this responsibility, and this minister has only been with the fields since he was a child. In addition, Tuntian Division has a wealth of agricultural books, and His Majesty has given experimental fields Only with more convenience can Weichen have this research."

While Lan Xi showed her achievements, she also flattered the emperor a little.

Emperor Wei Qing was naturally happy, "It is my Wei Dynasty's fortune to have a courtier like you who cares about the people of the world."

Lord Zong next to him also said, "It is because of a wise emperor like His Majesty that the Wei Dynasty has many capable ministers."
