The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men
Chapter 95 Planting Sugarcane
"Dan Yao, the weather in Xiang County is very hot. You should pay more attention to the children and be careful of heatstroke. There are also many mosquitoes, snakes and ants. Prepare more insect repellent medicines."
Qin Xingfu really wanted to soak in the water. It was only March and it wasn’t the hottest time yet.
"Yeah, it's really hot here."
Dan Yao himself was also sweating, and Qin Xingfu found it a bit amusing to see him fanning himself non-stop.
"I'll make some ice later. Xiangjun has all kinds of fruits. I'll bring some to ice it when the time comes."
Dan Yao knew her ability, so he asked Xu He to buy some fruits.
Maybe it was going to rain heavily, the air was stuffy, so Qin Xingfu made a hand-cranked fan.
In the evening, the whole family, plus Jianglu and Jianglou, sat in the yard eating iced fruits, Qinshan and Qinchuan said with a smile.
"Mom, it's nice here!"
"Mmm, lots of fruit, sweet and delicious!"
Qin Xingfu looked at them with a smile, thinking that now that there seemed to be sugarcane, this place should be called "Zhe".
"There should be a mulberry tree here, right? Have you seen one?"
Jiang Lu and Jiang Lou both shook their heads, they hadn't noticed it.
"Huiyuan, have you thought of something again?"
Jiang Lu found that she was very sure about every question she asked.
"Well, Zhe can make sugar. The exact amount of sugar produced is not known yet, but the people will be able to eat sugar when the time comes."
"Then let's ask the county governor tomorrow. He should know."
Sugar is a precious commodity. It would be great if everyone could have it!
"Ah."
Children love sweets, and they can eat a small piece of maltose for a long time. Beets are not available now, but sugar cane can still be tried.
The next day, Wei Tuo was also confused. What is 柘? Qin Xingfu had to describe the characteristics of sugarcane to him, and then draw some pictures for him, showing the appearance of sugarcane in different periods.
Sugarcane has existed since the Zhou Dynasty, but it was not until the Song Dynasty that it was planted on a large scale in the south. Wei Tuo hurriedly took the drawings to look for it.
When Gongshu's people saw it, they thought it was a good opportunity for them to show off, because the thing was on the mountain where they lived and there was a large area of it.
So he dug a few and sent them to Qin Xingfu.
"Yes, yes, that's it! You have done a great job!"
Qin Xingfu hurried to see that section of forest. It was covered with dense sugarcanes. Qin Xingfu ordered his men to dig them up and plant them more sparsely.
Jiang Lou saw that the people who said they wanted to rest yesterday were working so hard, so they didn't want to keep them any longer, so they went back to Jiaodong while they were busy.
According to Qin Xingfu's planting method, the sugarcane seedlings have covered nearly 100 acres of land.
Yue Xin saw that she was so tired and sweaty that she helped wipe the sweat off her forehead.
"Happiness, take a rest! You haven't had a good rest!"
"It's okay, the children will be able to eat candy in a few months!"
"Well, you've gotten quite tan lately."
"It's fine."
Qin Xingfu stopped his hand and kissed it. Yue Xin felt that as long as she was there, nothing would be a problem.
After tapping her palm, Qin Xingfu immediately understood his hint.
"It's getting late, Gongshu Yuan, I'm going back first. You guys do what I say about the things here, and I'll come to collect them when the time comes. Once they pass the inspection, I'll take you to do what you want."
Gongshu Yuan nodded and watched her walk away, his eyes deep.
"Master, do you really want to farm for that girl?"
An old man asked him from behind.
Gongshu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at him.
"Shanbo, the Mohist School has become famous in the world due to her introduction. I, Gongshujia, cannot remain unknown any longer."
"But that woman..."
Shanbo was embarrassed to say that the woman was lustful and he was worried that she was attracted by the master's appearance.
The corners of Gongshu Yuan's handsome mouth curled up slightly.
"The rumors are not credible!"
If she was really a lustful person, I'm afraid she would have made a move on him long ago, but during this time together, I found that she was actually a very pure person.
No wonder the First Emperor favored her so much. She was able to survive the trap set by Li Si. What was the use of all the evidence in hand? It was useless if the person in power didn't believe it.
Yue Xin took her to walk in the field, squatted down and said.
"My Lord, I will carry you!"
"No need, you've been tired all day. You take turns accompanying me to the fields every day. Aren't you tired?"
"Not tired, come on!"
Qin Xingfu had no choice but to lie on his back. Yue Xin felt much more at ease with her on his back.
As soon as they arrived at Jianglou that day, they were told that the men of Gongshu's family had extraordinary looks and were good at bewitching people, so they were asked to be careful not to let adults get too close to them.
During this period they were on high alert, fearing that Qin Xingfu would be seduced away by someone.
"Xing Xing, why did you only say goodbye to Gongshu Yuan today?"
Yue Xin himself didn't even notice how sour his tone was.
"Haha... Yue Xin, are you jealous? Wasn't he the only one there at the time?"
"No, there's clearly an old man next to him!"
She really didn't see this.
"Haha... you're going to make me die of laughter! Gongshu Yuan is indeed good-looking, but you guys are not bad either! Don't worry, I won't provoke them. You guys are really getting more and more stingy, you can't even admire him."
"Humph~ Of course not, you only have us in your heart and eyes."
Normally, they would be jealous of each other secretly, but now that there's an outsider, they are all united against the outsider.
"Mua~ You guys are so cute!"
After returning home, Qin Xingfu told Ying Bu and the others about this, and they all became petty and accused her.
"Sir, during this period of time, every time you come back, you mention that person. Haven't you noticed it?"
Ying Bu talked about her first.
"Yes! We don't understand the mechanical stuff you're talking about, but you always say that person can give you inspiration."
Mi Fu felt aggrieved. They were indeed not good at these things.
"You also said he was quite knowledgeable about medicine."
Dan Yao said coldly that even though he had dressed so beautifully recently, she didn't even praise him.
"Sir, you said one of his cakes was delicious!"
Queen Ying pouted, very dissatisfied.
"You said he was good-looking."
The taciturn Xuhe also spoke. Qin Xingfu blinked, recalled, and then felt guilty.
"Uh... I really didn't mean it. I won't see him starting tomorrow. I'm still with you guys! Don't be angry!"
I have committed a sin. How did I end up angering everyone? I will give everyone a kiss to calm myself down.
"Mom, you said Uncle Gongshu has a good figure!"
Qin Xingfu had just finished comforting her, but her eldest daughter said something shocking, and six eyes were condemning her.
"Baby, Mommy didn't tell you that. You must have heard it wrong. Be good and go see if your sister is awake."
After coaxing the child out, Qin Xingfu begged for mercy.
"I swear, I really didn't! You have to believe me!"
Several people snorted and ignored her.
"I was wrong! I just spoke too quickly, I really didn't mean any other thing! We have so many children, really, I am very satisfied with just you! I promise that I will never look at him again, and if you look at him again or praise him, I will..."
"Okay, okay, I believe you. Stop swearing!"
Yue Xin quickly stopped her.
"As long as you have us in your heart, it's fine! Pay less attention to those weird people."
Queen Ying thought Gongshu Yuan looked very strange and she really couldn't see what was good about him.
Qin Xingfu muttered in his heart, Oh my God! If that person were in modern times, he would definitely be a very popular young and handsome guy, with a model face and a good body proportion. He looks weak but still has a masculine spirit. He is completely different from them.
In the evening, Yue Xin asked her.
"Sir, in your hometown, are people like Gongshu Yuan very popular?"
Qin Xingfu felt there was a trap and said while wiping his hair.
"Ah? I don't know. I wouldn't like that anyway. Why do you always do things for him? Do you like him?"
Yue Xin's face turned dark in an instant.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know who I like? How can you slander someone?"
"You also know that when you guys accused me today, I felt wronged too."
Putting the blame on her, Yue Xin hurriedly tried to coax her.
"Sorry! We are just jealous today."
"Humph! That's better than enough. I've given birth to your child. I'm very satisfied now."
"Yes, you are really generous and don't argue with me. We are petty!"
Qin Xingfu poked his forehead and said.
"Stop talking nonsense! You've worked hard these past few days. I will make it up to you."
Yue Xin picked her up and said.
"it is good!"
....................................
Qin Xingfu kept her word and stayed with them for a whole month, which convinced them and made them believe that she would not miss anyone else.
Her life in Xiangjun was simply sweet and harmonious. After Fusu learned that she had arrived safely in Xiangjun, he began his own plan.
At one time, many high-ranking officials either had their property confiscated or were exiled to Liaodong County. Feng Quji wanted to retire and return home, but was stopped by the First Emperor.
Li Si is now a doctoral candidate, and his former assistants including Nei Shi Teng, Sima Xin, Wei Zhao and others are now in danger.
"Mr. Li, please think of a solution! Does this young master really resent us for forcing Qin Xingfu away?"
Nei Shiteng and Sima Xin reminded her that if they came to the limelight, they would lose their official positions and would be left with a nominal title without any real power. They didn't want this, and the annual gifts they gave over the years had become more and more perfunctory.
One year, when she gave them sweet potatoes, they had to fart all the time, which was humiliating and they vowed to be irreconcilable with her.
"I don't have the chance to see His Majesty right now, so you don't have to rush. Go back and clean up your own mess first, and don't get dragged into this."
"Yes, the Yang family has been exiled to Liaodong. I don't know if they can survive."
"Take care of yourself first! Thank you Mr. Li for your advice. Goodbye!"
Li Si used to look down upon these old nobles, but now he had no choice but to go along with them.
He returned home and saw Li You coming back in disheveled clothes.
"What have you been doing? How disgraceful."
"Father, Princess Huayang has something important to discuss with you."
"Li You, he and your wife are sisters, you'd better restrain yourself."
Li Si was really disappointed with his friend.
"Father, Huayang is our family's benefactor, and Madam will understand."
"Go away, go down and study hard."
"Here!"
Li Si came back, but he was not happy at all. What kind of life is this now? Many people cursed him behind his back. Even when they hired a servant, no one was willing to come. Only when they paid a high price would someone come to do the work, and the work was not good at all. If this continues, their family will not be able to survive for a few years.
What Li Si didn't expect was that Fusu had made a lot of progress in the past few years. He had already learned how to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He had become more and more like His Majesty in recent years. It seemed that with the help of Qin Xingfu, the entire court had been conquered in recent years.
Time really makes huge changes in people!
Zhangtai Palace
The First Emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.
"How long are you going to keep venting your anger?"
Fusu knew that he could not hide his own affairs from him.
"Just wait for Huiyuan to come back!"
"If I don't let her come back, will you make this court a mess? There will be no peace?"
I thought she had improved over the years, but I didn't expect she was still so impulsive.
"Father, Huiyuan is innocent!"
"I know that, so I let her go to Xiangjun instead of Liaodong! I also agreed to let her protect the person she wanted!"
The First Emperor slammed the table in anger and said, Fusu immediately knelt down and apologized.
"Father, please don't be angry. I won't mess around anymore!"
"I warn you, if you want this position, you must give up all love! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. If I find out again, your life will be over!"
Fusu looked up in astonishment. How did he know? Was he too impatient?
The First Emperor rubbed his temple and waved his hand to signal him to go down.
"Father, I know I was wrong. Please take care of yourself!"
Fusu bowed and said goodbye. The First Emperor felt helpless. He was worried that Qin Xingfu was a beauty who brought disaster upon herself and that the Qin Dynasty would eventually be destroyed.
If he continues to lose his sense of propriety, he should consider changing people!
"Ah sneeze... ah sneeze..."
Qin Xingfu, who was taking care of her baby, suddenly sneezed.
"It's really strange. I don't have a cold. Who is scolding me?"
"Mom, did you catch a cold from the rain yesterday?"
Qin Ni touched her forehead and then touched his.
"It's not hot!"
"Baby, Mommy is fine. Did you draw this?"
Qin Ni nodded.
"Yeah, this is me, this is mom, this is dad! This is my brother and sister..."
Qin Xingfu suddenly had the urge to take a family photo with his whole family.
"Oh my, baby is awesome!"
"Mom, I drew this."
Qin Yue and Queen Qin both presented their paintings to her for evaluation.
"You guys can also tell mom what you drew!"
"Yeah, this is the sun I drew, and this is the bird..."
Xuhe was watching at the door with a smile in his eyes.
"I caught some fish today, so I can have an extra meal today!"
Ying Bu and Ying Hou came back with fish, and Yue Xin and Mi Fu came back with rabbits.
"It was a good harvest today. We caught a rabbit."
When Qin Xingfu heard them talking, she ran out and gave them a big hug.
“You guys are awesome!”
The children followed suit and hugged their father.
"Daddy is awesome! I want a kiss too."
Qin Mingqi cried “Ahhhhh…” and only Qin Wuji could speak a few words to her in baby talk.
In this warm atmosphere, Gongshu Yuan appeared with some sugarcane leaves.
"Master Qin, this bug has grown like this recently. I would like to ask you how to deal with it?"
Qin Xingfu took it and looked at it.
"This is the sugarcane mealybug. Are there so many of them?"
This shouldn't happen. How could it have worms so quickly?
"Not a lot, mostly scattered around, but there's one patch with a lot more. I'm worried about the production, so I came to ask you."
"Oh, okay, I'll go check it out tomorrow!"
