Chapter 509 Jujube Beaten (A)

In late July, many jujubes are already red. The two jujube trees in the main courtyard of the palace were covered with heavy jujubes, which looked very gratifying. Every time Yu Xi went in and out, she would look up.

After breakfast, Zao [UUReading 00kxs] Zao went to the yard, and said to Yuxi: "Mom, I want to eat red dates." I don't know if it's because of the name, or because it looks like Yunqing, Zao Zao likes to eat it very much sweets.

Seeing Yuxi nodding, Yunqing took the bamboo pole next to her and knocked it down a few times. These red dates fell on the green bricks one by one like rain. Zao Zao ran to pick up a bag, then held a handful to Yu Xi and said, "Mother, these are for my sister." Yu Xi usually doesn't eat after eating.

Yun Qing smiled and said: "Father even gave you red dates, why don't you give them to Dad!" Seeing that Zao Zao has all the good things and misses Liu'er, Yun Qing is still very happy.

Zao Zao raised his head and said, "If Dad wants to eat, he can eat it himself!"

Yuxi smiled and touched Zaozao's head, then took the handful of jujubes and said, "Okay, go to the front yard quickly! If you are late, grandpa will punish you again." Huo Changqing's demands on Zaozao are not Very severe, if you fail to meet the requirements, you will be fined heavily.

Hearing this, Zao Zao ran out of the yard like a rabbit, making Yu Xi shake her head. But it's useless to say so much, so I won't say it at all.

In the morning, Tan Tuo told Yuxi about the next summer harvest: "This year's harvest per mu has decreased by more than 10% compared to last year." Last year, the weather was smooth, and this year there was less rain. Fortunately, it is not serious. If it is serious It is very likely that the grains will not be harvested.

Yuxi has always been concerned about this matter, so she generally knows it well. However, although the yield per mu has decreased, the total number is almost the same as last year because of the addition of hundreds of thousands of mu of fields last year.

After talking about the summer harvest, Yuxi also talked about the problem of drinking water: "There is a shortage of water in many places below, not to mention that there is no water to irrigate the fertile fields, but there is also a problem with drinking water. Mr. Tan, this is a problem that cannot be ignored. "How can this person live without boiling water? Without water, this person cannot live.

Although this year is not compared to last year, the number of rains is not less. Under such circumstances, there will be difficulties in drinking water. Once a drought occurs, many people will definitely die if no measures are taken. Therefore, this is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

Tan Tuo didn't expect the topic to jump so fast, but he still nodded and said: "What the princess said is that this problem really needs to be solved urgently. The lack of water for irrigation in fertile fields cannot be solved by manpower. But the problem of drinking water for the people, as long as With care, some tragedies can still be avoided.

Yuxi said her thoughts: "I mean to build wells in these villages and then build water cellars. If there is a drought, it can also alleviate the problem of drinking water." In a drought, the wells dug may not produce water. At this time, it depends on the water cellar. Water cellars can store rainwater and snowwater. In case of drought, these stored water can solve the problem of drinking water.

Tan Tuo didn't need Yuxi to go any further, and immediately said: "Princess, I will come up with a charter as soon as possible." Yuxi can only propose ideas, and the specific implementation depends on Tan Tuo and other officials. Of course, as a high-ranking person, many things don't need to be done by yourself.

It took an hour and a half to deal with the matter at hand, and Yu Xi went back to the backyard. After returning to the backyard, Han Ji came to report to her about the women's martial arts hall: "Princess, the candidates have been selected, and there are thirty-two people in total. This is the list, please have a look at it." Tang, this matter was strongly supported by Huo Changqing. And these thirty-two little girls were selected by Huo Changqing from more than two hundred candidates.

The women's martial arts hall has also been prepared for several months. Others are easy to handle, but it takes effort to choose this candidate. Not only must you be smart and well-established, but you must also have a clean background. If the background is not clean,

is not available.

Yuxi looked at it carefully, nodded after reading it, and said: "Since there is no problem, we can open it on an auspicious day." This women's martial arts hall is different from Qingfengtang. The Breeze Hall is not open to the outside world, but the Women's Martial Hall is open to the outside world. If someone wants their daughter to practice martial arts, they can learn it by paying a part of the fee. Of course, definitely not with the person they picked. It is Fu Qingluo's request to open up to the outside world. Fu Qingluo hopes to give those girls who want to practice martial arts a chance.

Han Ji nodded and said, "Okay."

After talking about it, Yuxi lay on the soft couch, and said to the licorice, "Give me a pinch." She didn't stop all morning, and she was quite tired.

Mother Quan came over with a plate of sliced ​​honeydew melon, put it on the stool next to the soft couch, and said, "You are also old now, so I will leave these matters to the prince, and you should take good care of the baby." Because Yuxi is handling government affairs, so Yunqing spends most of his time in the barracks.

Yuxi ate a piece of honeydew melon and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm in good spirits!" After finishing speaking, Yuxi rubbed her stomach and said, "Speaking of which, this child is really well-behaved, and he doesn't even feel uncomfortable at all. I Think, this child will definitely be a filial and sensible person in the future."

Hearing this, Quan Momo said to Licorice: "You go down first!" She was talking to Yu Xi alone!

The licorice immediately withdrew.

Sister Quan looked at Yuxi's belly and said, "Yuxi, Mother Lan told Dr. He that this baby is a girl out of ten." Not to mention Yuxi's complexion is ruddy and her skin is smooth and delicate, but she is round With a round belly, everyone thought it was a girl. Because if she is pregnant with a son, her stomach should be pointed.

Although everyone said that this fetus was a girl before, Yuxi still had a little hope in her heart. Now that even Mother Lan has told Dr. He, the last hope is gone. Yuxi felt a little disappointed, but quickly adjusted her mood, and said with a smile: "Isn't this something I knew a long time ago!" After finishing speaking, she rubbed her stomach and said: "The so-called thing is only three, this child is a daughter, and the next child is a child. Must be a son."

There is a reason for Quan Momo to specifically tell Yu Xi about this: "It's almost six months now, you must take good care of your baby, it's not appropriate to work any longer, and leave all the matters at hand to the prince!"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "I don't feel tired when dealing with government affairs. If I stay in the back house every day, I will be in a bad mood. Besides, if I can't bear it physically, I won't resist." It will be cranky, which is not conducive to physical and mental health.

Sister Quan's expression is a little cracked, sometimes she really thinks that Yuxi is just working hard, otherwise, why not enjoy the blessings, she just likes to be troubled.

Sister Quan said helplessly: "Leave the affairs of the inner courtyard to me, so that you don't have to be tired." In fact, Sister Quan is only in her fifties this year, and her body is very strong. It's just that she worked hard in the palace before, so Aunt Quan always wanted to retire early. It's a pity that meeting such an apprentice as Yuxi made her thoughts come to nothing.

Yu Xi didn't evade, and said with a smile, "Okay!" With Nanny Quan sitting in the backyard, she had nothing to worry about.

In the afternoon, it was not until dinner was approaching that Yu Xi finished reviewing the papers. Back in the backyard, before entering the yard, I heard a noise inside.

Licorice was outside the yard, saw Yuxi and hurriedly said: "Princess, the eldest girl climbed up the tree to pick the dates. Mother Lan and Sister Quan tried to persuade her for a long time, but they couldn't do it." What a dangerous thing on the tree , if it falls, it must not be broken.

It was also Mammy Quan who was frightened because she was afraid that Yuxi would enter the yard rashly. After all, I'm pregnant now, if I get stimulated, it's not good to move my fetus.

As soon as Yuxi stepped into the yard, she saw a group of people all gathered around the jujube tree. Among them, the red bean and the red qi were staring at Zao Zao intently. Once the jujube falls from the tree, they aim to catch it.

When Yuxi looked up, she saw that jujube was on the tree at this time, holding a branch with one hand, and reaching out to grab a bunch of red jujubes with the other hand.

Yuxi's face changed with fright, but she didn't make a sound. It wasn't until Zao Zao put the string of red dates in his pocket that Yu Xi smiled and said, "Zao Zao, why did you climb the tree? If you want to eat dates, just let the red beans pick them for you." This girl is courageous It's getting bigger and bigger, and even dared to climb trees.

Seeing that Yuxi was not angry, Zaozao said happily: "Mother, the dates I picked are bigger and sweeter than Aunt Hongdou and the others." After speaking, Zaozao patted her bulging pocket again and said loudly: "Mother, I picked a lot of red dates, will you let Mama Bai make red date cake for me later, okay?" Because Zao Zao likes to eat sweets, Yuxi is afraid that if she eats too much, it will be bad for her teeth, so she strictly restricts Zao Zao from eating sweets . Weekday pastries and other snacks are limited.

Yuxi said with a smile on her face: "Then you come down quickly and give the red dates to Mama Bai, and you can have red date cake tonight."

Zao Zao didn't think much, and got down from the tree.

As soon as she landed, Yuxi asked Hongdou to hug Zaozao with a livid face: "Bring her to the house for me." If this damn girl is not severely punished this time, the sky will probably be turned upside down!

In the past, even though Yuxi was angry when she made a fuss, she would only scold her at most, and then punish her for writing big characters. But this time, Yuxi was really pissed off, and looked for a feather duster as soon as she entered the house.

"Wow..." Zaozao's heartbreaking cry reached Yunqing who came back. Yun Qing, who had just come back from the outside, heard the crying, thought something had happened, and ran back to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zao Zao Yuxi holding up a chicken blanket and pumping Zao Zao's butt. The attack was very heavy, and Zao Zao was beaten until his voice became hoarse from crying.

Yunqing avoided the red dates scattered on the ground, walked over and asked, "Yuxi, what's the matter? What trouble did this girl get into to make you so angry?"

Seeing Yun Qing, Zao Zao cried while crying: "Father, I am about to be beaten to death by Mother, please help me." Amid Yu Xi's scolding, Zao Zao already knew that Mother beat her because she climbed a tree . She didn't understand, it was just climbing a tree, why did she have to do such a cruel thing!

Hearing this, Yu Xi became more aggressive. (to be continued)
