The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

"The second crop of peppers will be planted in April and harvested from August to October. Let's plant the first crop of peppers first."

Mu Tingxue asked the accompanying soldiers to move boxes of pepper seeds into the government office lobby.

Also brought in at the same time were a large bag of chili noodles, a basket of dried chili peppers, and a jar of sauce. "Arang Zhu, have you ever had spicy hot pot? Come and try the bean paste pickled in chili peppers."

"Sister Jinyu sent some hot pot ingredients, and my subordinates and the soldiers from Jian Barracks cooked spicy hot pot together. It is indeed a rare delicacy."

Huang Zhu stared straight at the red peppers and swallowed subconsciously, "Your Highness's holy virtue shines brightly on the world. Let the people of Baidizhou first plant such God-given things as peppers!"

The spicy hot pot made Jian Bingying go crazy with greed. After finishing the hot pot base given by Jin Yu, I have been thinking about it ever since. No matter what delicacies I eat, I feel it is not enough.

He tasted a spoonful of spicy bean paste and was full of praise: "Wow! It's so delicious. If you put it in the steamed buns, I can eat eight of them in one go!"

Mu Tingxue was shocked: "Eight steamed buns? Won't it fill your stomach?"

"No, I have a big appetite."

Huang Zhu looked proud, "Men who do farm work and hunt are all good eaters."

Mu Tingxue thought about it and realized that in this era, there was very little oil and water in food and the daily consumption was huge. It was not too much to just rely on carbohydrates like steamed buns to replenish the body's energy. Eating several steamed buns was not too much.

She stayed in Baidizhou for more than ten days this time.

I personally led the local farmers to sow the pepper seeds, and it took four days for them to germinate.

Mu Tingxue took off her gorgeous and complicated five-color brocade robe and put on a lighter and simpler dark blue robe. She put on her belt and leggings, rolled up her sleeves, went deep into the fields, mingled with the farming people, and personally taught them how to cultivate peppers. method.

"First soak the seeds in clean water for two to three hours, wrap them in wet linen cloth, and place them in a warmer place. They will germinate in about three or four days."

"Your Highness, the bud has sprouted, what next?"

"Pay attention to preparing fertile and moist soil in advance as a seedbed, and just sow the germinated seeds."

……

Huang Zhu and Yan Yang were guarding her at the edge of the field.

Two good-looking men with completely different styles, they have a pretty good relationship.

Because they are both military geniuses and lead troops to fight, they have a sense of sympathy for each other.

"When I was a child, I once saw a miscellany in my master's bookcase. In March, the Queen held a ceremony to kiss silkworms, worshiped the silkworm god Leizu, farmed and picked mulberries, set an example for the people, and prayed for good weather."

Huang Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the busy eldest princess, "I think that scene is similar to this."

Yan Yang shook his head: "The queen's silkworm kissing ceremony is mostly just a show. Rather than picking mulberry branches and leaves, it is more about demonstrating the authority of the mother of a country in front of the ladies inside and outside. It is essentially a glorious ceremony. And listen Xue is teaching people how to plant with all their heart."

When he was a child, he once saw his aunt preside over a wedding ceremony as a queen.

Bells, drums, and elegant music played in unison, and countless female officials, concubines, wives, and palace maids prostrated at the Queen's feet. No one really cared about how to plant mulberry trees, how to raise silkworms with mulberry leaves, and how to weave mulberry silk.

Huang Zhu was extremely surprised and couldn't help but feel disappointed: "What's the point of this kind of ostentation?"

He felt that such a wedding ceremony was meaningless, and was actually extravagant and wasteful under the guise of praying for blessings and setting an example for women in the world.

"This has always been the case for queens throughout the ages."

"Then such a queen can't afford the four words "mother's love for the world." Huang Zhu was very upright and had a disdainful attitude.

Yan Yang did not comment.

half an hour.

He stretched out a hand and patted the broad-chested man. The sturdy young man with a majestic body said: "What Xue said is true. You are a very good general."

He can only be a general.

A military genius without any scheming may be able to fight a war well, or he may be able to govern a local area, but he is not suitable to compete with eight hundred scheming civil servants in the central court.

Huang Zhu's brows were filled with joy: "Your Highness really praises me so much?"

He didn't hear the underlying message, he just thought it was the eldest princess's affirmation of him.

Yan Yang nodded: "Yeah."

Five days later, the pepper seeds sprouted and were distributed. Those with household registration in Baidi Prefecture received one acre of pepper seeds for the first round of trial planting.

"This new divine food, what is it called spicy food? It is the same as tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The eldest princess gave it to us to grow for free!"

"Your Highness is truly the reincarnation of a goddess, with all the people in the world in your heart."

"As a native of Baidizhou, I am so lucky! I heard that His Highness sold the divine grain seeds to noble families in Yundu, but they were all sold at a very high price. Those noble men rushed to buy them. When we come here, Just not a penny."

"This chili is a good thing! Have you ever heard of the hot pot that is popular all over the country? It is the seasoning made from this chili. There is also the best-selling spicy bean paste from Cui's Xingyuan Pickle Shop. The core recipe is also chili. If we grow this, we will become prosperous. .”

Mu Tingxue received a lot of praise.

The reputation grows day by day.

The husband and two children also gained honor and gained recognition from the people in Baidi Prefecture, and their influence gradually increased.

This is the role of marriage bonding. The wife is Qi. Husband and wife are one flesh.

Next ten days.

In addition to promoting pepper cultivation in Baidi Prefecture, Mu Tingxue also inspected the soap factory, cement factory, lime factory, brewery, and sugar processing factory in the fiefdom, and took time to inspect the drills of the Jian Barracks.

Because it was a honeymoon trip, she only went to work in the morning, and the afternoon and evening belonged to Yangyang and Mengbao.

Cozy little days, comfortable and happy.

Amidst the laughter, Yundu sent an urgent letter, which was handwritten by Mu Chuyao, the wife of Yaoguo, the mistress of the Right Prime Minister's Palace. There were even traces of the handwriting being wet and smudged on the letterhead, which showed that my aunt was crying while writing it. .

"Is the condition getting worse?"

Mu Tingxue changed color slightly, "How could it be? Counting the days, if I take the medicine strictly according to my doctor's orders, the remaining arsenic toxicity in my uncle's body should have been eliminated by now."

My brother-in-law should be getting better, instead of being as toxic as the letter says, coughing up blood at every turn, turning pale and sweating profusely if he even gets out of bed, and fainting when the wind blows.

Yan Yang also read the letter and was worried: "Not only did he cough up blood, he also urinated blood."

Mu Tingxue said solemnly: "It means the kidney damage is extremely severe and the remaining poison has not been cleared away. Yangyang, we can't delay any longer. Let's go back to Yundu."
