Dressed As An Ancient Heroine Control Group

The pool manager washed the watermelon and cut it open. The watermelons that Uncle Hong chose were good, and if they came along, even if they were a little underripe, they were already cooked. And the manager of Chi was lucky, everything was a red one, and when the knife went down, only a crisp sound was heard, and then he could smell the fragrance of watermelon.

The pool manager watched the red juice flow from it and licked his dry lips. Then, he cut it piece by piece. Manager Chi followed the emperor and had seen many good things, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of fruit. That red is so pretty.

Something that has been spoken to the emperor, naturally, someone needs to try it. If it is on weekdays, he might ask others to try it. Today, Chief Chi cut it himself, of course, he tried it himself. It is not that he is not afraid of death, but how could the things sent by General Qin be poisonous? If it's really poisonous, doesn't General Qin want his head? So Chief Chi dares to try it himself.

This sweet and savory taste is so wonderful.

Manager Chi resisted the urge to eat the second bite, and said to the little eunuch: "Ice the remaining half." It has never been iced, because the weather is hot, so the fruit is a little hot all the way. It tasted even worse.

Manager Chi felt that Qin Fang was really amazing, he could discover everything, even this kind of fruit. No wonder the emperor said that Qin Fang was lucky. Thinking of this, General Manager Chi had an idea in his mind, and the days when Qin Fang was transferred back to the capital would not be far away. For those who are lucky, the emperor must want to get them to the capital. Therefore, after Qin Fang arrives, he will also make friends with others.

However, the imperial concubine has always asked him about some things recently, and he has put it off. He is not a fool either. The emperor is in his prime. In his capacity, there is no need to mix things that shouldn't be mixed. He is older than the emperor, maybe when he is gone, the emperor is still stable on the throne. So, it's good for him to be his chief executive. From Longzhigong, he already has it, is it rare to support another prince to ascend to the throne?

Manager Chi entered the imperial study with a plate: "The emperor's watermelon is here."

The emperor put down the pen and saw the red fruit on the plate: "This watermelon is green on the outside, but it is actually red on the inside."

Chief Chi: "Isn't this a fulfillment of a sentence? What is it called safflower with green leaves?"

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but smile: "You have a literary talent, how does this watermelon taste?"

Mr. Chi said, "I couldn't hide it from the emperor. The servant tried a piece of it. It tasted really good. It was much better than the apples and pears I've eaten before."

The emperor listened and took a piece for him: "Eat it, you'll be drooling."

Manager Chi smiled, took the watermelon, and took a bite. The emperor moved his nose and picked up a piece to eat. After taking a sip, he opened his eyes wide: "It's delicious."

Manager Chi took the opportunity and said, "The slave has seen it. There are several ways to eat this watermelon, and half of it is frozen. On a hot day, it tastes better when it is frozen."

The emperor nodded and did not speak, because his mouth was used for food. After eating two pieces in one go, the mouth was not satisfied, but the stomach was full. He said, "This watermelon is easy to fill." However, the emperor is not a greedy person.

Mr. Chi said, "No. But there is a record in the notebook sent by General Qin. This watermelon can only be eaten on the same day, and it will go bad if it stays overnight. If you don't cut it, it can be stored for several days, but it's still durable. put."

The emperor thought for a while: "Send some to the concubine who gave birth to the prince and princess in the harem, and each palace will send two watermelons."

Manager Chi asked, "What if it's delivered to live?"

The emperor was puzzled: "This melon is still alive?"

Mr. Chi: "There is a reminder in the book that this melon will not be damaged on the road, so it is not fully ripe when you pick it. Moreover, the melon has skin on the outside, so you can't see whether it is raw or cooked inside, so it may be raw. Yes. However, whether it is raw or cooked, you can eat it, the difference is that the raw one is not very sweet."

The emperor smiled and said: "Then it depends on their luck. Believe it or not, I gave the past to the students, and they can also realize other meanings."

When Director Chi heard it, it was true. This raw melon...isn't it raw? "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor laughed: "You should be strict with your mouth when it comes to delivering melons, and you should not know anything about Qin Fang."

Chief Chi: "Yes."

Outside the palace gate, Xiaowei Du was still waiting, and when Tao Shan finally came out, he waved: "Tao Shan... Tao Shan..."

Tao Shan didn't expect that the dignified Second Young Master Du would always wait for him, so he hurried up and said, "Second Young Master, you have been waiting for a long time."

Du Xiaowei said indifferently: "It's alright, let's go, come back with me, by the way, are you alright inside?"

Tao Shan said: "It's okay, I saw the emperor, the emperor is really a good person."

Du Xiaowei smiled and said nothing. You can't say anything about the emperor outside.

As soon as Tao Shan arrived at Du Mansion, he was invited by the housekeeper to Mrs. Du's yard. It was the first time Tao Shan saw the hostess of Du Mansion. Before, the housekeeper received him.

When Tao Shan entered, Mrs. Du was eating watermelon.

The housekeeper said, "Madam, Tao Shan is here."

Tao Shan just raised his head slightly to avoid identifying the wrong person, and then saluted Mrs. Du: "Tao Shan has seen Mrs. Du."

Usually on important occasions, when addressing a woman, you will only bring your official life. For example, if Du Ke is of the third grade, then Mrs. Du is the official of the third grade, and is a gentleman. But in one's own mansion, the servants called the master, or the guests called the mistress, and they were all called the wife.

Mrs. Du is about the same age as Qin's mother, but she looks much younger than Qin's mother. She is a clan wife, and naturally she is not comparable to a country woman like Qin's mother.

Mrs. Du said, "Don't be too polite, Tao Shan, right, take a seat."

Tao Shan hurriedly said: "No, no, it's fine for the villain to stand." If it was in the past, he would definitely be nervous, but he has only met the emperor, and now he won't be nervous when seeing the emperor, because the impact of seeing the emperor has not yet fade away.

Mrs. Du smiled and said, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

Tao Shan bent over: "It's better to obey your life if you are respectful."

Mrs. Du heard him speak well, and she was much more knowledgeable than the general servants. She nodded and said, "Taoshan, when you left Yunxiang County, was Mr. Du still in the General's Mansion?" Because she had received a letter from Du Ke, she knew that Du Ke lived in the General's Mansion in Yunxiang County.

Tao Shan said: "When the villain left the General's Mansion, Master Du was still in the General's Mansion."

Mrs. Du: "How is Mr. Du's health? Have you been sick during this time? You, Mr. Du, have always been strict with your mouth, and you are not the same when you are sick. I know he doesn't want me to worry, but when he's out, I'm just worried. Tao Shan, don't hide it from me."

Tao Shan's heart tightened, why did he feel that Mrs. Du was threatening him, but he truthfully said: "Your Excellency is in good health. On the day he arrived in Yunxiang County, Xiangjun invited the doctor in the house to see him. Before leaving, the adult had not been sick."

Mrs. Du observed Tao Shan's appearance. It didn't seem like she was lying. She was very satisfied: "The Xiangjun you are talking about is my righteous daughter Yanyan, right? I received a letter from the lord before. Yanyan and his wife took care of him."

Tao Shan didn't know how to answer, so he thought for a moment and said, "Master Du is an elder and a teacher of the general. It is right for the Xiangjun and the general to take care of him. However, Master Du is very busy and visits the common people with the general every day. It's the one... …Investigate public sentiment. By the way, Lord Shen is also there."

Mrs. Du nodded: "It turns out that it is like this. In this hot day, he visits the people every day, which is what he thinks."

Tao Shan said: "The common people like Master Du very much."

Mrs. Du was stunned for a moment, and then became interested: "His face is calm every day, and the people like him?" Even the children in the family were afraid when they saw him.

This... Tao Shan smiled embarrassedly, but still clarified for Master Du: "Master Du is very kind to the people, very kind, and the people like him very much. Moreover, when he listens to the people's nagging, he is also very patient. He is also welcome to come again next time."

Pfft... Mrs. Du couldn't help laughing out loud, but yes, that's really the old man's style.

Tao Shan didn't know what he said, which made Mrs. Du laugh. He was a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Du said again: "By the way, Tao Shan, these vegetables, melons and fruits you sent are really good, these are things I have never seen in the capital, and you are also very attentive, and you have prepared a book , recorded the cooking and eating of these things, especially this watermelon, which is really delicious."

Tao Shan: "Master Du also likes to eat it. After the watermelon is ripe, Master Du can eat half of it every day."

Mrs. Du snorted: "He's really lucky, we probably will be gone in a few days." She had to take a few of such delicious watermelons to her parents' house, so when she thought that the old man could eat it every day, she took it seriously envious.

Tao Shan said: "It won't take long, because the fruiting period of watermelon is just over a month, and the next time you eat it will be next year. If you like it, I will bring it to you at this time next year."

Mrs. Du said: "The fruit period is just over a month? That's really short. Then I'll wait for you to deliver it next year. If you don't give it, I'll be looking for you."

Tao Shan held his face and couldn't speak.

Mrs. Du didn't tease him anymore: "Go down and rest. You can rest here for a few days and then go back. I still have some things for you to bring back to you Xiangjun."

Tao Shan: "Yes."

Tao Shan stayed at Du's house for two days, and two days later, he returned with several boxes full of things. This thing is not only given by Mrs. Du, but also given by Mrs. Du's family, as well as by the emperor, so when it comes, it comes in a big box and a small box, and when I go, it comes in a big bag.
