Chapter 23
Chapter 23
After Huayan received the task, Lu Xuechao cast his eyes on Lin Chanzhi again, as if he would never let anyone go.
Being stared at by the fairy-like queen, Lin Chanzhi blushed, lowered her head shyly, and couldn't help being secretly nervous.
Will he also be entrusted with any important tasks?
He doesn't understand government affairs, doesn't know how to fight, and doesn't have the shrewd calculations of Huayan. He would be embarrassed to bargain with others when buying something on weekdays.If you let him go into business, he will definitely lose all his money.
Lin Chanzhi herself didn't know what she could do.
Lu Xuechao said, "Huayan can make fragrances, what can you do?"
Lin Chanzhi was trembling with nervousness, and said in a low voice: "... Cao, Cao Min is dull and knows nothing."
The only thing he knows is farming, carrying a hoe to work in the field, watching the seeds take root and germinate under his hard work, and bear fruit, he will feel sincerely satisfied and joyful.
But also because of hard work, he often made himself ashamed, and was always ridiculed by his stepfather's younger brother, saying that he had lost face to the Lin family.
In addition, his father also looked down on his hobby, thinking that he was not good enough to be on the stage, so Lin Chanzhi didn't dare to speak out about his specialty, for fear that His Highness the Queen would also think that he was not popular.
Lu Xuechao was not surprised to hear this answer, the child was indeed limped by the Lin family.
Long after he noticed Lin Chanzhi's abnormality, Lu Xuechao checked Lin Chanzhi's background thoroughly.
Lin Chanzhi is really a poor little girl.
Lin Chanzhi's biological father was the only son of a rich farmer, surnamed Tian, and his family lived on farming for generations. He became rich through hard work, and accumulated houses and good farmland. He is one of the richest households in the local area.
His biological father was Cheng Huan, who was deceived to death by a poor scholar surnamed Lin, and married him with an innumerable dowry, which was considered a low marriage.The poor scholar thinks highly of himself, and thinks that "everything is inferior, only reading is high". While greedy for the money of the Tian family, he despises his wife for being uneducated and only farming. Hair wife is disgusted.
With the financial support of Tian's family, the scholar was admitted to fame and became a petty official, and he felt that his wife was not good enough for him.On the night when his wife died of dystocia, he stayed in his concubine's room and didn't even go over to take a look.Before his wife's body was cold, he quickly set up his concubine's room and became Lin Chanzhi's stepfather, and even occupied all of the Tian family's property.
Father Lin also has no affection for Lin Chanzhi, the son of the original partner.Especially after discovering that Lin Chanzhi also likes to farm, I find it very annoying.
Lin's father was indifferent to his son, and his stepfather was afraid that Lin Chanzhi would compete with his son for the family property, so he tortured him hard, deprived him of food, clothing, housing and transportation, scolded him constantly, and raised him to be cowardly.
Growing up in such a bad environment, Lin Chanzhi has a good character, never cynical or complaining.He found a "Farming Guide" and some seeds in his biological father's dowry, and has since awakened his talent for farming.His stepfather didn't let him have enough food and clothing, so he grew vegetables and cotton by himself, and was self-sufficient, and he still lived happily.
In the concubine line, if the player wants to grab the emperor's heart, he must first grab the emperor's stomach.Xie Chongjin had eaten the food made by Lin Chanzhi, and it tasted better than the imperial food. The last thing that made him feel this way was Lu Xuechao's cooking.
Of course, he hated the players to the core, no matter how delicious it was, he was unwilling to praise it.In all fairness, Lin Chanzhi's cooking skills and dishes are very ordinary, completely inferior to Lu Xuechao's, the only thing special is the ingredients.
Those ingredients were grown by Lin Chanzhi himself, and they tasted great.
Xie Chongjin thought, Lin Chanzhi's ingredients, paired with Lu Xuechao's recipe...
Probably no one in the world can refuse such a delicacy.
Business opportunity, huge business opportunity.
"Oh?" Lu Xuechao raised his tone slightly, "But I heard that Mr. Lin likes farming."
...Who did you hear this from?I'm afraid it's not specifically checked.He Lianxi slandered.
Lin Chanzhi's mind was blank, his father's dislike, his stepfather's abuse, and his younger brother's ridicule all came to his ears in an instant.
"The scholarly family of the Lin family, how come you are such a farmer? It's really insulting to the family."
"Things that are not on the table have the same virtue as your dead ghost father. My son will be able to test for fame in the future, and you will only be able to farm for the rest of your life."
"What is Tu Laomao doing again? Fertilizing? Hey, isn't that just big shit? It's so disgusting, I'm going to spit it out first."
Hearing this kind of talk a lot, Lin Chanzhi also felt that he was really a bit rustic and out of tune with a noble scholar.
Her Royal Highness looks like a god who does not eat fireworks in the world, and is also a genius number one scholar revered by scholars all over the world.
Although this fairy is money vulgar when he speaks, but that face is too fairy, and the fairy air cannot be dissipated.
Subconsciously, Lin Chanzhi didn't want to make His Royal Highness dislike her: "It's just for fun, it's hard to be elegant."
Lu Xuechao disapproved and said: "Food is the most important thing for the people, so how can it be difficult to enter the hall of elegance?"
Wang Yiming couldn't help being excited: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and farmers are ranked second! If this doesn't make it to the stage, wouldn't we businessmen be shameless in the world!"
Lin Chanzhi was speechless.
In fact, in the Lin family, he is indeed at the bottom.
"The national treasury is empty, and the gold and silver obtained from the house raids are given priority to relief victims. Naturally, the harem should be more frugal. Since Mr. Lin knows how to farm, he will give a piece of land to grow vegetables and fruits, and raise some chickens and ducks, which also saves the cost of buying food for the palace." Lu Xue said.
He Lianxi: "..." Although Chang Li is poor, he is not so poor that he can't even afford food for the imperial palace, right?Isn't this too skinny for the empress?
However, Lin Chanzhi was also grateful to Dade: "Thank you, Your Highness, Queen!"
He likes farming, and being able to grow it for everyone to eat and contribute his own strength is a very happy thing.
He Lianxi couldn't understand it at all.Why do those who are squeezed look very happy?
Looking at Lu Xuechao's gentle and unchanging expression from the beginning to the end, Helianxi shuddered suddenly.
If he was from Changli, he would definitely be bewitched by this face at this moment, throwing his head and blood for the other party.
Although Lu Xuechao has never done business, he has a brain that others don't have, and he can quickly learn to do anything.
Everything has to be done step by step.If Huamanlou wants to change careers, it is most suitable to switch to a restaurant first.The brothel already provided food and drink, so the transition to a restaurant was a matter of course. If the brothel became a drug store, no one would dare to buy it.
The most important thing in a restaurant is recipes and ingredients.There must be an exclusive secret recipe, so delicious that diners scratch their hearts and lungs, and never forget it, and they can’t eat it in other places, so that they can be prosperous and prosperous.
Although Lu Xuechao has researched many new dishes by himself in order to satisfy his picky taste, only his parents, Xie Chongjin and himself have really tasted his cooking, and they don't know how the public tastes.He is going to let the people in the palace taste it first, as a mouse to test the new dish, and if the response is good, he will formally publish the recipe of Huamanlou.
It just so happens that it takes time for Lin Chanzhi to grow vegetables, and it also takes time for Huamanlou to redecorate.During this period of time, I will finish the house raids in the previous dynasty, and then I will spend a lot of time preparing for the opening of the building.
Things always come one by one.
Arranged to play with Lin Chanzhi, Lu Xuechao asked Wang Yiming: "Will you manage the accounts?"
Wang Yiming scratched his head: "Yes."
He is ignorant, but he is not interested in reading, but his accounts are calculated quickly and accurately.After all, the son of the richest man grew up listening to the sound of abacus and helped his family read the books, so he has a bit of business talent.
Wang Yiming felt that it was the best result for him to inherit the family business, but his father's head was caught in the door, forcing him to study, it was too painful.
"Very good." Xie Chongjin said, "Help manage the accounts after Huamanlou opens."
Wang Yiming opened his eyes wide: "Then, can Caomin leave the palace?"
"of course."
As long as there is no formal dismissal order, these people are still concubines in name, and they have not disappeared inexplicably, and programmers can't do anything to them on the grounds of fixing bugs.
As for the concubine's specific actions?Who cares about it.
Wang Yiming immediately responded happily.This feels quite novel, this is doing business for His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Queen.
For the time being, he doesn't know whether he is betraying his own property by helping Huamanlou to read the accounts.The Wang family is the richest in the world, and they are leaders in all walks of life. How could it be shaken by a newly opened Huamanlou?The right is experience.
After arranging the concubines one by one, the attention finally focused on He Lianxi.
He Lianxi sat stiffly, slightly straightened his body.
He is the worst arrangement.The reason why the others could immediately obey Lu Xuechao's words was because Lu Xuechao was helping them realize their ambitions.They don't feel that they are exploited, they just feel that they have met Bole.Changli is their homeland, of course they are willing to work together to make Changli a new look.
He Lianxi can't.His wish is to return to Qifeng country and serve Qifeng.
At least for now, Lu Xuechao will never let the tiger go back to the mountain.
No matter what request Lu Xuechao made to He Lianxi, He Lianxi would not willingly agree.Work for Changli?That would be tantamount to treason to him.
But how to politely refuse?Helianxi thought hard.
If he refused bluntly, he was afraid that he would be dragged out and beheaded.
Fortunately, he didn't need to bother thinking about the reason, Lu Xuechao said: "The Ninth Prince is a guest, there is no reason to ask the guest to work. Changli's messy situation made the Ninth Prince laugh."
He Lianxi was taken aback, and quickly shook his head: "I never joked, and I want to thank Your Highness..." He thought about his words, "Be honest with each other."
Telling Chang Li's current situation and deployment in front of his face is really not afraid to treat him as a spy sent by Qifeng.
Of course Lu Xuechao is not afraid.He Lianxi dared to send a letter, and the letter would be intercepted by Xie Chongjin's people as soon as it was sent.I didn't avoid him because it wasn't necessary.
He understood Helianxi's position.Changli and Yelang are feuds, and Qifeng and Yelang are also feuds. An enemy's enemy is a friend.Although they fought a few times, Qifeng's current empress could not understand Changli, while the next empress, sister Helian Xi, was neutral.Whether to turn an enemy into a friend or not to share the sky, it all depends on how Chang Li treats He Lianxi.
Lu Xuechao didn't intend to let Chang Li and Qi Feng fight against each other again, and he didn't have any hostility towards the little prince.
He Lianxi was in a complicated mood.
Lu Xuechao respected him very much in words and treated him as a guest.In fact, he is a proton, so he doesn't have to be treated politely.Knowing that he has a different stand, he did not force him to work for Changli.
It can only be said that Empress Changli is really a gentleman.
While heaving a sigh of relief, He Lianxi couldn't help but feel lost.
This kind of feeling that the whole harem has jobs, but he is excluded and unemployed at home, is always a little bit of subtle melancholy.
After all, he is an outsider, so he can't help but miss his homeland more and more.
After they left, only Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao were left in the room.
Lu Xue looked towards Xie Chongjin: "Are you still angry?"
When Xie Chongjin first came in, it was obvious that there was a lot of fire under pressure.When Lu Xue saw him so furious, it was when Xie Chongjin, as the crown prince, found out about the extensive boy abduction and trafficking industry chain.
Xie Chongjin seemed rebellious when he was young, but his temper was actually mild.As a nobleman in Tianhuang, he respects the virtuous and corporal, convinces others with virtue, and treats others with respect.Even when he was forced to face others every day when he was manipulated, he never vented his anger on the innocent.Lu Xuechao has known him for so long, and almost never saw him lose his temper.
Of course, there are also reasons why Xie Chongjin would not lose his temper in front of Lu Xuechao.
Back then, Xie Chongjin was able to order so many people to be beheaded, even Lu Xuechao was surprised.Also since then, people's impression of the young prince is more about "killing decisively".
If it hadn't touched Xie Chongjin's bottom line, he wouldn't have chosen to kill him.
"If you say you're not angry at all, it's a lie." Xie Chongjin sneered, "I'm afraid Yujing will see blood every day for a while."
"So Qingshu..." Probably because he felt that the topic was too bloody, Xie Chongjin changed the subject, and his tone revealed a bit of grievance, "How do you comfort your angry husband?"
Qingshu is so reserved, she rarely kisses him proactively.
If he could win a kiss, he would be relieved immediately and be happy for three days and three nights.
"..." Lu Xue looked at him for a moment, then said coolly, "It's not that I made you angry."
Xie Chongjin: "..."
I only hate the incomprehensible customs.
Xie Chongjin smiled helplessly, took the teacup on the table, and was about to take a sip of tea to cover up, when his sight was suddenly blocked by a white coat.
Lu Xue leaned forward, her eyelids were half drooped, her black hair was slack, her red lips were holding the other end of the white jade cup, her delicate and picturesque face was close at hand.
The two were biting the same cup.
Xie Chongjin was startled for a moment, and unconsciously let go, and his Adam's apple rolled instead.
Lu Xuechao bit the rim of the cup and stood up straight, took off the teacup and put it back on the table as if nothing had happened: "You love the tea I've drunk so much? It's cold, I'll make you a new one."
Xie Chongjin watched him turn around to make tea, his demeanor was elegant and dignified, and he still looked like a cold fairy.
Xie Chongjin unconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips, covering his smile with his fingertips.
It's so worthless, it's clear that she hasn't kissed her yet.
I felt that he was very charming.
