Chapter 43: Duke Rong (2)
Xiao Fushan looked at Cheng Jin, who looked like a farmer, with a little more seriousness in his eyes, "Did you introduce and grow sweet potatoes?"
Cheng Jin replied respectfully, "The officials who were unintentionally earned and dared not take credit for it. Now the officials are responsible for planting and promotion."
Xiao Fushan nodded, "If the planting can be promoted, the soldiers will not be hungry. You have made great contributions."
Cheng Jin never knew the marquis before. Now, in the face of the praise from the prince, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and said he didn't dare to take it. In fact, he really felt ashamed of not being able to take it. The credit was clearly Jin'er's... He was really ashamed.
Xiao Fushan asked, "When will it be promoted?"
"Now, more than 30,000 acres of planted, the Mizhou has begun to harvest, and the capital city will also start to harvest in two days. By the beginning of next spring, more than 300,000 acres can be planted, and more than 3 million can be planted in summer. The sweet potatoes produced are basically available for promotion and planting nationwide." Cheng Jin talks about sweet potatoes, just like the family, and is not as nervous as before.
Xiao Fushan smiled a little more, "No, don't worry. You can sit down."
Cheng Jin retreated and sat down, raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Cheng Shao explained Cheng Zan, Gu Shi, Wen Xiu, and finally introduced Youzi, "This is the daughter of the late sister-in-law, who now lives in Chengfu."
"Oh? That's pitiful." Xiao Fushan stood up, walked slowly to Youzi with his hands behind his back, and Youzi was standing in the middle of the hall.
Xiao Fushan stood two or three steps away in front of Youfeng. Youfeng lowered his head and could see the hem of his purple official robe and black official boots. Youfeng felt two scrutiny eyes on him, with powerful pressure. Youfeng claimed that he had lived for more than 20 years in his previous life and was a person who had seen big scenes. He should be calm and composed at this time, but he felt like he was unable to breathe under Xiaofushan's gaze. He was not good at being brave.
Young man bowed to pay tribute, "The little girl has met Duke Rong."
Xiao Fushan looked at the little girl who had been keeping her head down in front of him, and how could he look lively like that night of chatter?
"What's the name?" Xiao Fushan's voice was low and hoarse, as if it was ringing in the ears of young men.
"He Youyou." Youyou secretly complained, how could he ask his daughter about her name? It's not wrong to think that he is an elder, considering his age.
Youzi kept lowering her head, Xiao Fushan frowned and said, "Raise your head, is this scary?"
When Young Master looked up, he saw Xiao Fushan's firm chin and a green stubble. "The Duke of Rongguo is so majestic, the little girl dare not disrespect." Why is this man always staring at him?
Does the little girl know herself anymore? Xiao Fushan lowered his head and was silent for a while, and raised his foot and walked out.
Everyone in the hall was a little confused. Are they leaving? They all stood up and followed.
Gu Jinyuan stood there, clenched his fists tightly, staring coldly at Xiao Fushan's back. Duke Rong seemed to be very interested in Youzi.
The young man didn't follow him. Anyway, there was such a large group of people, and even if he was missing a little girl, he couldn't tell.
Gu Jinyuan walked to Youshou and whispered, "Are you scared?"
Youzi let out a long sigh, patted her chest, but felt it was inappropriate, so she quickly put down her hand, "I'm scared!"
Gu Jinyuan chuckled, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Youhua nodded and followed Gu Jinyuan. As soon as he arrived at the Chuhuamen, a servant ran over, "Young Master, Master, let you go to the door of the mansion to see off guests, and Miss Chou also came."
Gu Jinyuan turned around suddenly, his eyes shrank towards the direction of the mansion.
Young Master was speechless. Duke Rong was really indifferent. Could it be that he would have to go out to see him out of nowhere? "This person is really strange. It's not enough to send him so many people to him. What are we two juniors doing?"
Gu Jinyuan reminded, "Follow your aunt later."
Youzi nodded and followed Gu Jinyuan to the door of the mansion.
A large group of people stood on the side of the road in front of the mansion. Xiao Fushan stood in the middle of the alley with his hands behind his back, facing the gate of Cheng’s mansion. He watched Gu Jinyuan come out and look at the young man following Gu Jinyuan. Cheng Shao smiled and said, "Jinyuan, you have to say goodbye to Rong Guogong before going back," Cheng Shao turned to Xiao Fushan again, "Young people still don't understand the rules, please forgive me."
Xiao Fushan looked at Gu Jinyuan and said indifferently, "It's okay, Gu Jieyuan will remember it in the future."
Gu Jinyuan bowed his hands and said in a deep voice, "Student Gu Jinyuan respectfully sent Duke Rong."
Xiao Fushan looked at him and smiled, "Very good, a child can teach you." He glanced at the corner of his eyes and was quietly moving behind Gu, "Wouldn't Miss He send me some gifts?"
Youhuan's body stiffened. This person's face was so big that it would not be possible without the respect of one person. Youhuan turned around and walked a few steps forward, saluting Xiao Fushan Fushen, "I respectfully send you Duke Rong."
Xiao Fushan smiled slightly, bent down and whispered, "Look at me carefully, don't recognize me when you meet again."
His voice was very low, as if he was murmuring in Youfeng's ears, but it made Youfeng's heart tremble. This man was too presumptuous!
The guards had already led the horse over. Xiao Fushan shook his robe, turned around and looked at everyone, "Please go back, everyone." He clamped his legs and the horse's belly, and the horse left with great enthusiasm. The guards behind him also rode their horses to follow and left with dust.
It was not until the group left the alley and disappeared, and there was no trace of movement in the quiet alley. I bid farewell to the Changping Bo family, and it was already dark.
Cheng Shao sighed happily, "Go home."
Youzi and Wenxiu held hands and followed Gu. Back to the front yard, Cheng Shao said, "Everyone is tired today, let's go back to the yard for dinner." He turned around and said, "Second brother, stay."
Gu Jinyuan said to Gu, "My nephew sent my aunt back." So he and Gu and his party went to the Chuhuamen.
Cheng Zan looked at Youfeng's departure back, closed his eyes, and turned around and left.
After all the troubles, everyone was exhausted. Gu did not keep them for too long, so he went back to the alfalfa garden.
Giving me a look, Youhua turned around and followed Gu Jinyuan behind him and said, "My cousin has been busy all day. Go back and rest. There is no need to send me a gift."
Gu Jinyuan whispered, "It's okay." Then he walked past her and continued along the path.
Youzi had no choice but to follow, "It's still early now, and I'm at home again, so my cousin doesn't have to work hard to get this trip."
Gu Jinyuan walked slowly. It was early winter. The flowers in the courtyard were all gone, but the osmanthus trees that were scattered in it still emitted a slight sweetness, which was not as rich as autumn.
The weather has become colder, and Young Bo is afraid of the cold, so she changed into a brocade thick jacket and skirt early, and also a brocaded rabbit-wool cloak outside. Wen Qing and Wenxiu are still wearing thin jacket and skirts now, and they are wearing a brocade cloak in the morning and evening. Gu always joked Young Bo, "You are wearing so thick now, what are you wearing if the weather is colder?" Young Bo is actually a headache. When the weather is cold in the temple, she stayed in the house and stopped going out anymore, and she hid in the quilt to read books.
