After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"Mom doesn't know what you and your brother are up to, but be careful. Too many things will arouse suspicion."

The flowers, plants, gold and silver jewelry bought yesterday disappeared overnight. Qian Fengping and his wife were not stupid and realized that they must have been put into the space.

"I know, Mom." Fang Nanzhi responded obediently.

She and her brother have discussed it and are planning to set up a "caravan". In the future, when they buy more things, they will need a reasonable place to go.

The people in the "caravan" must be people they can completely trust, and they have already written letters to contact Brother Cheng Xiaohu.

When the carriage arrived at the general's mansion, it saw that the entrance was bustling with activity.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, my master is not at home..."

The butler was surrounded by the crowd and spoke politely.

"No problem. I wonder when Miss Fang Nanzhi will be back? I'll wait here for a while."

Someone spoke.

It was a helpless matter. Originally, the emperor asked them to come and apologize to the little girl. They planned to ask their wives or daughters to find an excuse to visit him and mention it in a tactful way, and the matter would be over.

Unexpectedly, news came from the palace again.

The emperor asked them to apologize sincerely, hinting that the little girl from the Fang family would like precious apology.

Now, the ministers could no longer sit still, so they asked people to get ready and visit Fang’s house directly.

It was really unexpected that the emperor valued this little girl so much.

Fang Nanzhi saw this scene as soon as he got off the carriage and was a little slow to react.

Seeing this, the housekeeper quickly squeezed over and said, "Miss, Madam, you are back. It just so happens that some adults are here to visit."

Qian Fengping was also helped down from the carriage by the maid. She looked at the messy door and turned her head to meet the housekeeper's gaze.

She cleared her throat and said, "My Lords, my daughter and I have just returned from an outing. We are a little disheveled and very rude. How about you all come into the mansion and sit for a while while we change our clothes so that we can entertain our guests?"

Several officials nodded slightly.

The butler personally led them in and left his confidants behind.

Xin Confidant briefly described the dispute in the court and explained the purpose of these people's visit.

Fang Yin had sent someone to inform them of this in advance. Fang Yin also knew that no one was home today, so he deliberately stayed home, wanting to give these people some time off.

"What the Major General means is that no matter what they give us, we should just accept it."

The servant lowered his voice.

"And there's that old man, surnamed Chen, who works for the Ministry of War and has real power."

The mother and daughter looked at each other and came to life after hearing this.

The two of them first went back home to change their clothes and comb their hair before appearing solemnly.

"Greetings, Lord Wang, Lord Chen, and Lord Li."

As soon as Fang Nanzhi came in, he bowed very straight.

The little girl was wearing a pink double-breasted dress and had her hair tied into two buns, looking pretty and cute.

Qian Fengping bowed slightly and explained with a smile: "I didn't know the adults were coming to visit. My husband and second brother are not here. I am really rude."

If it were another wealthy family, when a male visitor came, unless he was a close relative, he would be received by the male host. If the male host was not there, the housekeeper would receive him. The female host was not allowed to show up easily.

But they came to see Fang Nanzhi today, and it was understandable that Qian, as a mother, was worried about the little girl having to deal with it alone.

Furthermore, Qian Fengping is different from ordinary women. She is a son-in-law and is considered the head of the family.

Therefore, adults don’t think there is anything inappropriate.

"It was our impulsive visit, so please don't mind, Madam Qian." Lord Wang had a warm smile on his face.

At this moment, several maids came in with trays.

Fang Nanzhi said sweetly, "Gentlemen, please try this. This is the milk tea that my family made. It's a bit sweet, I wonder if you can get used to it."

The little girl spoke softly and caringly, and her eyes were as clear as water, which made the officials feel a little embarrassed.

From this perspective, she is still a simple little girl. It is indeed a bit too much for them to involve her in the court.

Lord Chen picked up the milk tea and savored it carefully.

"Not bad, it has the aroma of tea, the milky flavor is refreshing, and it tastes sweet."

"If you like it, I will copy the recipe for you when you leave."

Fang Nanzhi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I learned about this milk tea recipe from a book. I heard that the grassland tribes drink milk tea with roasted lamb."

"It's just that their milk tea is salty and doesn't taste very good."

"I'm greedy, so I improved it a little with my mother."

Several adults nodded and said that it was normal for a little girl to like to eat, it was just a harmless little hobby.

Before they could say anything, Fang Nanzhi continued, "The book also says that grassland tribes drink milk tea because they don't have any vegetables. Eating meat and staple foods year-round makes it difficult to digest. Tea leaves act like vegetables."

"Master Chen, you are from the Ministry of War. I heard that the soldiers at the border are also short of vegetables. I wonder if this milk tea could be of use?"

Lord Chen's eyes changed slightly. This little girl is not only well-read, but also cares about the soldiers on the border. Not everyone has such a broad mind.

"Miss Fang is sincere, but milk is expensive, sugar is even more expensive, and tea is also expensive."

Lord Chen shook his head. It was difficult to supply ordinary food and fodder, let alone such precious ones.

"But the troops stationed in various places have some crops growing vegetables, which can barely fill their stomachs."

"Your Excellency is very considerate. I took it for granted." Fang Nanzhi praised him readily.

Of course she knew that it was impossible to promote milk tea in the military.

In fact, the grassland tribes used tea instead of vegetables because they made a living by grazing and did not know how to farm, and the land was not good.

But they, the people in the Central Plains, can do it, and the land is better.

"But, Lord Chen, since the soldiers are growing vegetables and grains, why not also grow some common medicinal herbs?"

Fang Nanzhi then got to the point.

Master Chen was stunned: "Can medicinal herbs be grown? But no one knows how to grow them."

"Master Chen, medicinal herbs can grow in the wild, which shows that they are not difficult to grow. Fortunately, I have a book on growing medicinal herbs that I can lend to you."

Mr. Chen: He doesn’t want to watch. He came to apologize and leave as soon as he’s done.

Fang Nanzhi didn't give him a chance to refuse: "My second uncle said that the army is always short of doctors and medicine, so the injured soldiers can't get timely treatment, which is why there are so many wounded and disabled soldiers."

"Recruiting soldiers, maintaining them, and sending veterans home all require a lot of money. Soldiers are so valuable. Why don't we cherish them while we have them?"

Lord Chen was stunned when he heard this.

People say that the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are not even ranked as soldiers. Some even say that they are poor and join the army, and that they are hanging their heads on their belts. No one has ever said that soldiers are valuable.

"Common injuries on the battlefield are all external injuries, and there are only about twenty or so herbs that can treat external injuries and are easy to grow. I have listed them. Do you need them, Lord Chen?"

Fang Nanzhi looked at him with burning eyes.

When Lord Chen met her gaze, he no longer dared to treat her as an ordinary girl.

He spoke in such detail, obviously he came prepared.
