Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 321 News

Xia Daohua watched them walk away with satisfaction, not even bothering to look at such a small person like herself.

After all, she was a "thin" and "timid" farm girl, wearing nothing more than a half-new cotton coat, riding a little black donkey, and hiding in an alley. What bad intentions could she have?

There are a lot of money bags and jade pendants in the space supermarket, but these guys obviously haven't noticed it at all.

Xia Daohua secretly smiled, extremely satisfied with this group of people and their fast horses.

The person who must have appeased them was either Gu Shanrou or County Magistrate Yang. If it was Magistrate Yang, that would be fine. If it was Gu Shanrou, then I couldn't let her suffer this loss in vain.

Today I will bring a basket of "newly steamed snacks" and a few bottles of "newly brewed fruit wine" to see her. By the way, I will give her a discount card for "Daohuaxiang".

Xia Daohua quietly led the little black donkey and tiptoed back in the alley. When she had gone far enough, she turned around, took a small road, and turned back home.

As soon as I got home, I saw the couple from the fourth house in the kitchen, roasting taro in the ashes. The arrival of summer rice flowers immediately broke the original warm atmosphere.

Xia Daohua smiled and said hello to the couple in the fourth room, then quickly ran back to her room, and then stayed in her room to "rest" quietly for a while - in fact, she entered a space.

She checked the things she collected from a bunch of dandies, put them away in categories, fed a few good jade pendants to the space to eat, and changed her clothes in the space before leaving the space.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Daohua took out another post, returned to "Daohuaxiang", and sent a man to run errands to deliver the post to Gu Shanrou's princess mansion.

After receiving the reply, Xia Daohua took the prepared gifts and went to see Gu Shanrou.

Seeing that Xia Daohua left after not staying at home for long, the couple in the fourth house were a little worried, especially Mrs. Jiang, who felt like a stone hanging in her heart, but all she said was scolding:

"This child is wandering around every day, and his heart is going wild."

Xia Youtian partly comforted Mr. Jiang and partly comforted himself, and said with a smile: "We Daohua have always been sensible children. We are running around and busy with serious things, so you should worry less!"

Xia Daohua walked far away, but she could still vaguely hear the couple talking, and could still smell the aroma of roasted taro.

…

Xia Daohua and Gu Shanrou are somewhat of a gentleman. They don't meet as often as they do with Wang, but their relationship is not bad. It's the kind of relationship where they trust each other and have a tacit understanding.

As soon as Xia Daohua comes, Gu Shanrou will always see her immediately and will never show off to her.

Firstly, it’s because Gu Shanrou really likes Xia Daohua. Secondly, Xia Daohua’s small gifts are always very novel and cannot be found elsewhere. Thirdly, and the most important point is that Gu Shanrou misses following Gu Mingzhen and Li.

Dare to spend time outside.

Although I live in Jixiang County, I am much more comfortable than when I was in the Princess's Mansion in Kyoto.

But after all, as a princess, you can't do whatever you want, and it's not convenient for you to show up frequently. There are many restrictions on your actions, so you will naturally miss the good old days when you could go anywhere.

Even the experience of the assassination, when I recall it now, is more thrilling than scary.

The only person closely connected to this memory was Xia Daohua, whom she could get close to without any scruples. Naturally, Xia Daohua, a mysterious and interesting little folk girl, was cherished by her.

Gu Shanrou's maid walked in small steps and respectfully led Xia Daohua to see Gu Shanrou. Xia Daohua walked leisurely, but Gu Shanrou greeted her from a distance:

"Damn girl, please remember to come see me!"

Xia Daohua smiled and said: "I have neglected the princess, I should be beaten, I should be beaten!"

The two little girls smiled brightly when they saw each other. The joy from the heart made the two youthful faces even more attractive.

The gathering of the two little girls was also very simple, just eating snacks and fruits, drinking tea, and chatting.

Gu Shanrou found an excuse to send the people around her out, and casually chatted with Xia Daohua about Kyoto snacks:

"Nowadays, there is a popular kind of crispy dough called bell-shaped fruit. It is only a little bit big and very delicately made, but it is too fragile. If you buy it from outside, it will break more than half of it along the way."

This kind of snack sounds a bit like the egg roll puffs of later generations, which break into pieces at the slightest touch. No matter how careful you are when eating, the crumbs will inevitably fall off...

The two of them chatted for a while, always revolving around the topic of eating and snacks. Gu Shanrou mainly talked, and Xia Daohua listened. Xia Daohua would occasionally mention one or two matching sentences:

"This kind should be paired with sweet fermented rice wine."

"This kind has to be paired with Osmanthus Oolong."

Hearing the little girl's light footsteps again and her breathing far away, Xia Daohua's eyes flashed and she winked at Gu Shanrou, who then changed the subject: "I heard..."

It's unexpected yet reasonable news.

At the beginning of next month, the emperor will issue an order to reopen the draft.

Originally, due to frequent wars, this year's draft was suspended.

But these days, good news came from everywhere. Even Bohai County, which had actually fallen into the hands of the Northern Barbarians, was turned upside down by Li Gan, and the emperor was very happy.

Decided to expand the harem.

In Xia Daohua's memory, in some dynasties in history, the draft was for women from the world; in other dynasties, the scope of the draft was for high-ranking officials, and those with lower-level officials were not qualified.

But in the Great Chu Dynasty, the scope of this talent show actually covered everyone from private women to high-ranking officials... no matter which level they fell into.

This emperor is really not picky.

Xia Daohua couldn't help but secretly complained in her heart.

Of course, in the past few years, the emperor had been diligent in his duties, and there were many vacancies in the harem. Those who were fighting in the south and in the north did not have that spare time.

Over the years, I don't know whether it was because he was getting older or because he was flattered every day and was so beautiful that he couldn't find any clues. The emperor fell less and less in love with court. The greatest pleasure was to spend time in the harem.

There are only two or three kittens in the harem, which makes it seem that there are too few people and not enough pomp.

Naturally, I have to expand it from time to time...

Gu Shanrou mentioned this to Xia Daohua, not to gossip about the emperor with her best friend, but to carefully remind Xia Daohua:

The scope of the draft is for unmarried women of suitable age. No matter they are farmers, merchants, or officials, they cannot escape this test. Even those who have made a marriage but have not yet married, if they have not registered with the Yamen before the draft,

It is also not optional.

When Xia Daohua heard this, her heart suddenly thumped.

From the selection range of thirteen to eighteen years old, there are quite a few girls of the right age in our family!

Good night and sweet dreams.
