Chapter 8
The morning meal was made by Zhao Xiaoyu, she served it, and thanked Luo Zining, knowing that this is the palace of the prince, and the prince is the head of the family, so she also thanked the prince by the way.
Luo Zining asked about her father's burial. She said that the soil was frozen hard in winter, and no one was willing to help dig the grave. She would store it in the Yizhuang and wait for the next year's weather to warm up before burying it.
Because she was afraid that the master's family would think her unlucky, she didn't wear hemp and filial piety anymore.
Luo Zining nodded, "Go down first, I'll ask you something later."
Luo Zining turned around and found that Huo Lingzhi was looking at him, and his eyes were a little strange, like the eyes of a husband who caught his wife chatting with the neighbor Lao Wang.
Luo Zining shivered, thinking that he must be thinking too much.
Halfway through the meal, the food became cold. He looked in the direction of the gate, and then at the quilt on his bed. He went to the supermarket and took out three quilts, and said to Chen Da: "You can nail these quilts up later.On the door, like a curtain."
He found Chen Er again and gave him a list: "Do you know how to read?"
Chen Er nodded: "I have learned a little bit."
"You buy the things on the list, and if you don't have any, you can go to the caravan in the city to buy them outside, and you can buy cotton clothes for everyone in the house.
Chen Er took a look at the list, some things were normal, but what happened to the seed rice and the rice with hulls?
"Master, I bought the rice yesterday. You can eat it directly without the shell. You don't need to bother to buy the one with the shell..." Chen Er always leaned in front of Luo Zining after being praised by Luo Zining for his cleverness.Show your wit.
"I don't want to eat, but to plant, you go ahead, don't need to say more." Luo Zining ignored the surprise on his face, and only told him to go quickly.
Chen Er felt that the princess was messing around, but he didn't dare to refute the princess, and even if the princess really wanted to farm, she would definitely not do it herself, or send their subordinates to do it.
He said weakly: "Princess, I have followed my father to work beside the lord since I was a child, and I have never farmed. The same is true for other people in the house."
"It's okay, I can come in person." Luo Zining used to read novels, and those who had never been farmers could plant the fields well, he could also connect to the Internet, and he had a lot of tutorials in hand, so he didn't believe that he plantedIt's not good to farm, and it's the same to hire some people outside to farm for him if it's really impossible.
This is when Zhao Xiaoyu came back from the kitchen and heard the conversation between the two of them, "Princess, we have never grown rice. The weather here is cold, and we can only grow anything for one season, even if we can grow riceCost-effective."
"What kind of crops do you usually grow here?" Luo Zining asked her.
"We grow wheat, beans, and sorghum here..." Zhao Xiaoyu counted them all for him.
Luo Zining listened to it, and besides wheat, most of the rest were miscellaneous grains.
There should be no corn in this world, but there is none in his supermarket. Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, and many vegetables and fruits are all things that are not available at this time, and he can grow them out.
Luo Zining still wanted to ask him something, so he stamped his feet: "It's too cold outside, let's go back to the room and talk, I still have something to ask you."
He told Chen Er to go out and buy it quickly. It's okay to go out a few more times if he can't buy everything, but the most important thing now is to put the cotton clothes first.
He was afraid that Huo Lingzhi would think they were noisy, so he followed Zhao Xiaoyu to their house.
He felt that these little girls were all fourteen or fifteen years old, and in the eyes of him, a university graduate, they were all children, so he didn't think much about it at all.
Zhao Xiaoyu didn't think too much about it, just thought that the princess felt cold, so he followed him into the house, and refilled Luo Zining with a warm water bag.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Hong were also in the room, they would come back to rest when they had no work to do, and when they saw Luo Zining approaching, they stood up frightened and bewildered.
"Sit down and pretend that I don't exist." He took out his notebook at the table and asked Zhao Xiaoyu about the fiefdom.
Zhao Xiaoyu knew quite a lot about the situation. He learned from Zhao Xiaoyu that apart from the city they are currently in, there are three small counties and five villages in the fief.
Originally, he thought that a city was already very big, but he didn't expect that there were villages and counties under it. He should ask Uncle Chen to take a look at the map of the fief that he wanted to come to another day.
Luo Zining asked her again which is the most profitable business in the city, and which are the richest merchants.
After Luo Zining went to Zhao Xiaoyu's house, Uncle Chen hurriedly went to Huo Lingzhi to make a report: "It's not good, my lord, my concubine, he followed Zhao Xiaoyu into the house."
Huo Lingzhi saw that he had an expression of "let's go and catch the rape" with a bit of impatience on his expression, "Let him do whatever he likes."
Uncle Chen couldn't believe it, how could the prince indulge the princess so much?The prince really loves deeply, he can even bear this kind of thing.
He sighed, turned around and went out, preparing to disturb Wang Hao and Zhao Xiaoyu, but before he went out, he heard the prince say: "Wait, take me there."
Huo Lingzhi originally didn't intend to control what Luo Zining did, but after thinking about it, Luo Zining wanted to occupy the status and treatment of the princess, and at the same time did this kind of messy thing with others. If he didn't care about it now, he would justLet Luo Zining feel that he is easy to handle, and it will only make Luo Zining worse in the future. Why don't you go and have a look today. If you really catch the two of them doing that kind of thing, then you will be clear about it. He won't even think about this princess.Do it again.
Uncle Chen pushed Huo Lingzhi to the house of the maids. The window paper in front of the window was rotten, and then plastic sheeting was nailed on. The plastic sheeting was airtight but transparent, and they vaguely saw four figures inside.
"My lord, he actually, three at a time..." Uncle Chen was so startled that his hands trembled, and he leaned into Huo Lingzhi's ear and said, "Xiao Cui and Xiao Hong face vulgar faces, and he doesn't even pick on the princess. This is too much."Itβs over, my lord, you should stay outside, this kind of filthy thing is still an old slave..."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Lingzhi pushed him away, "Look closer."
At the door of the house, Huo Lingzhi raised his hand and was about to open the door when he heard Zhao Xiaoyu's voice.
Zhao Xiaoyu's voice was clear and loud, and she could hear what she said without opening the door.
Zhao Xiaoyu: "Master Cheng is the richest person in this city. His family has his own caravan. Every year, he collects our sorghum rice and wheat at a low price and sells them outside, and then brings them back from outside.The goods are sold to the owners of various shops. And the one who is worse than him is Boss Zhang and Boss Li..."
Huo Lingzhi put down his hand to push the door, and listened for a while, it didn't seem like he was doing anything messy, but he was talking about something serious.
Huo Lingzhi frowned, he really couldn't understand Luo Zining more and more.
