Zhou Yan is the son of the great general Zhou Xuan. Although he is only 12 years old, his riding and shooting skills are already considered outstanding.The pheasant, venison, and fox fur and mink fur that were sent from the Prince Regent's Mansion every now and then were shot by this child himself, and he was considered a malleable talent.

Zhou Yan was very polite to Xie Xiangying, young people have their own plans.

There is no riding and archery master in the mansion, the eldest princess originally planned to ask Xie Lian to teach him personally, but Xie Lian has been avoiding people in the princess mansion because of his former son-in-law dealing with generals.If you can't see General Xie Lian, you can only focus on Xie Xiangying.

The two said a few words before Zhou Yan bid farewell to Xie Xiangying and went to the main hall.

Xie Xiangying saw the servant behind Zhou Yan carrying large and small boxes, presumably the festive season was approaching, and the eldest princess's mansion asked the two children to send some things in person to comfort the little emperor uncle.

Several people were talking in the main hall, while Sun Liangyu stood guard outside the hall.

Yesterday, the supervisor of Henglin Supervisor sent someone to welcome Xie Xiangying, saying that he wanted to talk about the planting of winter potatoes face to face.

What Ling Lang meant was to be on the safe side, let the people from Henglin Supervisor learn how to grow winter potatoes first, and then the Henglin Supervisor would send people to the Liang Shepherd Division outside the palace to teach.Xie Xiang agreed face-to-face, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart.Inside and outside the palace, things are delivered by manpower. When everything is ready, the winter potatoes are planted and then sent to the north. They go back and forth for a few months, and the day lily will be cold by then.

Seeing that everyone was in the main hall, Xie Xiangying guessed that Ling Lang would not summon him for a while, so he went to Henglin Supervisor alone with the winter potatoes grown in clay pots.

Sun Qingling, the steward of Henglin Supervisor, is a distant relative of the general's wife, Jiang Unknown.Back then when Sun Qingling was in trouble, thanks to Jiang Weiwei's recommendation, he found a place to live in the palace, and Jiang Weiwei said that he was a trustworthy person.

When Xie Xiangying followed Chunmei, the girl from Henglin Supervisor, to the Taoist courtyard, Sun Qingling was squatting outside the house to check the flowers and plants.

Seeing Xie Xiangying from Dayuan, Sun Qingling was taken aback for a moment, and then stood up and saluted when he got closer, "Master Xie is so polite, why aren't you in Tongyou Palace today?"

Xie Xiangying cupped his hands in return and said: "Miss Chunmei came over yesterday and said that it was my aunt who invited me."

Sun Qingling put down the shovel in his hand, took the handkerchief handed over by the little girl at the side, wiped his hands and said, "I have read the letter sent by someone a few days ago. The method of planting in this letter is written in detail. Slave sees, why not send it to the Sinongyuan right now, where there is a lot of labor and things can be grown quickly."

Although the Henglin Supervisor is in the palace, most of them are servant girls. It is okay to add some flowers and plants, but the food is not enough.

"It's not enough to just send it to Si Nong Yuan." Xie Xiangying thought for a moment, then asked Sun Qingling, "Is it faster to go from here to the Northeast Army Camp by water or dry road?"

Sun Qingling didn't answer right away, the two walked into the house, waited for Xie Xiangying to sit down before saying: "Take the waterway faster, the current is turbulent, so it should go quickly. My lord wants to..."

Her eyes fell on Xie Xiangying's face, as if she wanted to take a closer look at the person.

Xie Xiangying has been scrutinized like this since the first day he arrived in Northern Qi, and now he accepts it calmly.In his opinion, this skin is just extra handsome, but for some reason, there are always people who can't take their eyes off it.

"I want to send this thing to the northern military camp as soon as possible. Now is the time to recuperate. Let's plant it, and there will be no delay there."

Xie Xiangying dared to say this plan,

Sun Qingling smiled slightly and reminded: "It's better to report this matter to His Majesty before making a decision."

"Tell him back."

Tell Ling Lang about this, and the Queen Mother must know about it.The master of Changle Palace is the most annoying, and he will discuss with a few courtiers again and again, and it will definitely delay the time.But what if you don't tell Ling Lang and make him kneel for a few more hours.

Xie Xiangying looked at Sun Qingling, thought for a long time and did not speak.

Sun Qingling had heard of Xie Xiangying's name.This is the master of the three fires in the new official position. He doesn't know the rules in the palace, and he doesn't remember the rules in the court. I'm afraid that he will suffer in the future.There are not a few people in this palace who were sent to hell because of breaking the rules.

"Forgive me for talking too much, my lord is dedicated to Northern Qi, but this Northern Qi is ultimately dominated by Ling and Chen. No matter how complicated the rules are, they have their own reasons once they are established. Many things would rather not be done than to break the rules. .”

Sun Qingling is an old man in the palace. He has seen a lot of ups and downs in the harem decades ago. A young talent like Xie Xiangying is like leeks. They don’t understand the golden mean. Never last long.

Xie Xiangying is just a short-tempered person, if he has an idea and cannot implement it immediately, he will easily be suffocated.He was considering Sun Qingling's words, but he would never waver in his original decision.It is necessary to report back. It may be more in line with your own style to cut first and then play.

"Thank you aunt, Xie Yin will be careful. This is a snack made by a shop outside the palace, aunt try it."

Xie Xiangying put the clay pot and a bag of Sophora japonica cakes on the table, and was about to get up when Sun Qingling pulled him suddenly.

Xie Xiangying looked at Sun Qingling, waiting for Sun Qingling to speak.

Sun Qingling took a look outside, closed the door and window and said, "Your servant heard from the Imperial Physician Order Xie Sir that you live in the West Side Hall now?"

"Yes."

"My lord, wait a moment for this slave."

Sun Qingling's eyes flickered, she let go of Xie Xiangying's clothes, and went to the back room.

Xie Xiangying stood and waited for a while, and saw Sun Qingling coming out holding a brocade box.The brocade box was very simple, and when it was opened, there was a plate filled with cinnabar.

"Auntie, what is this?"

"In a few days, it will be the Xiayuan Festival. On such a day, you have to draw red to pray. The general's wife said that the old slave should remind the adults of these rules, and there must be no mistakes."

"Drawing red?"

Xie Xiangying sat on the stool, and saw that Sun Qingling took a slender brush, dipped some vermilion fuel, and smacked a thin red mole on the tip of Xie Xiangying's eyebrow.

Xie Xiangying looked at the red mole that can only be seen by looking carefully, and asked Sun Qingling, "What kind of rule is this?"

Sun Qingling smiled slightly, and said: "The priests blessed the Xiayuan Festival, and all ghosts are restless, so there must be more evil spirits. This mole on the eyebrow can be used for prayers, and it can also be used to turn bad luck into good luck. It is of great use."

"I see."

This older generation is quite superstitious.Ever since his grandma tied flower threads for him during the Dragon Boat Festival when he was a child, he has never paid so much attention to festivals.

Xie Xiangying touched the red spots on the corners of his eyebrows with his hand, the thing seemed natural, it didn't fade at all, and he didn't know what kind of dye was used.

Sun Qingling smiled slightly and did not speak.

Xie Xiangying was able to stay in Tongyou Palace, except for the right time and place, the harmony of people.What is going on with this person, Xie Xiangying is a fan of the authorities, Sun Liangyu is tight-lipped, but she can see clearly.The young master from Dongpian Hall has not been around for a long time, and now Shen Weichuan has recommended Xie Xiang to greet him.There is such a character that fell from the sky, she has to try to keep it, it will be of great use in the future.
