Chapter 13351335: Huh? (Part 2) [Ask for monthly ticket]
"My father is very good with everyone."
As the girl in red said these words, a strange color seemed to flash across her eyes, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if the disturbance was just an illusion caused by Lin Feng's brief distraction. Because he keenly sensed the slight malice in the girl in red's words, Lin Feng remained silent on the words.
No reply is appropriate.
Unlike the "Tangdi deep love" between the Lord and Wu Xian, who was fake and true, the friendship between the Lord and Zhai Le when they were young was at least true and false. The client, the Lord, all recognized this friendship, and occasionally mentioned it with a smile on his lips. Lin Feng didn't know what Zhai Le's attitude was, but judging from the fact that there was no conflict of interest between the two at that time, Zhai Le should also be sincere towards his lord.
Only when both parties are sincere and have compatible temperaments can they speculate.
However, the girl in red said that Zhai Le was interested in everyone. Not only did she deny the friendship fundamentally, but she also gave people the impression that Zhai Le was deeply scheming but the Lord was innocent and simple. Or was it just that she was overthinking it, and the girl in red didn't mean this? Regardless of whether it was true or not, Lin Feng did not accept these words: "When King Zhai was young, he was unruly and free-spirited. Who wouldn't be happy with such a temperament?"
Compared with a greasy, sinister snake that can brew venom at any time, the world certainly prefers a big dog that is passionate, lively and cheerful. A dog that is not afraid of animals can chat with anyone he meets. This is a dog problem, not a human problem.
She yelled and murmured: "Uninhibited? Unbridled? Indiscriminate?"
Lin Feng said calmly: "It was true when I was young. Even my clothes and sandals could not conceal my romantic style. Who wouldn't like a young man who was full of enthusiasm and heroic spirit? Nowadays, the world has changed, and my identity is different after all. In those days, being alone could be considered loyal. I have traveled a thousand miles alone, but now I have the important responsibility of my family and my country, so I should restrain myself.”
Human beings are to heaven and earth just as earthworms are to mountains and seas.
Mountains and seas cannot withstand the changes of time, let alone people?
The girl in red asked, "Is this the case for Lord Shen too?"
Lin Feng said: "Of course it is."
"Nujun's words are much more pleasant to the ears than Taifu..." A smile escaped from the tip of the red girl's nose, and she leaned closer to Lin Feng, with a bit of coquettishness unique to her age on her face. I won’t give up... Madam, please don’t change your expression in a hurry, I am speaking in my personal capacity, not as someone’s daughter or the crown prince’s daughter of any country.”
Private status, does not involve the interests of the country or the country.
I simply like Lin Feng very much.
Naturally, Lin Feng would not easily believe the emotional cards played by the other party, but he did not mind telling the other party a few nice words that others would like to hear: "It is Feng's good fortune to be liked by His Highness."
Zhai Le's education method is still reliable. As long as she doesn't go astray, the girl in red will be a remarkable heir.
This is Lin Feng's general judgment on the girl in red.
Although the girl in red is the crown prince, she is not ignorant about farming. She even knows the trivial matters of people's livelihood, from the crop planting process to the harvest price, from judging the quality of grain to the basic market price. She knows what families with different incomes should look like. She understands People's livelihood is suffering... Before Lin Feng saw the other party, he was worried that the girl in red would be the kind of corpse vegetarian who would rather eat minced meat.
Those who are close to vermillion are red, those who are close to ink are black. Lin Feng grew up next to Shen Tang, and also learned the latter's habit of not being stingy in boasting. Whether it was her subordinate officials or low-level officials whom she had only met once, Lin Feng would habitually praise even the smallest advantages.
When facing the girl in red, he subconsciously brought this point into his mind.
Only after he finished boasting did he realize that he had overstepped his bounds. The other person's ears have probably grown numb hearing similar words since he was a child.
The girl in red looked at her in surprise, her cheeks slightly red.
Said: "There is no female gentleman who can say it so well."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "Listen to one side and you will be dark, and to listen to both will be enlightened. This is easy to say, but how difficult it is to do it? His Highness is able to achieve this at such a young age. Of course, it is inseparable from the work of persuading and teaching, but more importantly, His Highness must Excellent in itself.”
The girl in red sighed after hearing this.
There was a hint of trance on the still childish face.
Lin Feng did not continue to ask.
Judging from today's contact, she was sure that the girl in red had something on her mind and had some conflicts with Zhai Le. However, these were other country's national affairs and other people's private affairs. As an outsider, it was better for her not to get involved. Lin Feng just observed the other party quietly.
What to observe?
Naturally, I learned some experience.
In the future, when the Lord has an heir, he will be able to avoid detours in education. The crown prince and the crown princess are just one word different, but the problems and confusion they face are different. The girl in red is probably also the first female heir to be truly trained as a successor, hold power in her hands, and grow up as a candidate for the head of the country. She has many challenges, so it’s always good to study and observe more.
Why is Lin Feng so determined?
Because she found that the subordinate officials around the girl in red were not simple.
It can also be seen from these subordinate officials how determined Zhai Le is for this heir, and does not consider the second candidate at all.
[...Although Zhai Xiaofang succeeded to the throne early, women in Qu State were able to practice cultivation later than in the country. The officials of the Queen's Palace include not only the civil and military ministers of the court, but also the female officials and their family members who are closely related to these ministers... There are no ordinary people... How can the four words "carefully selected" be summed up? ] There were quite a few female officials accompanying them this time. Lin Feng glanced at their waists. They were basically literary scholars. Judging from their clothes and conversation, he could guess their origins.
It's just that the female guards are limited by their training time, so their auras are not very strong, but their presence shows that Zhai Le trains these people as his daughter's future team. If something happens to him unfortunately, this team will be able to connect seamlessly.
Lin Feng silently jotted down the key points in his mind.
The female officers are much older than the girl in red.
The oldest one is on par with Lin Feng.
Judging from his position, words, deeds and rank, he should be the one the girl in red trusts the most. Catching Lin Feng's gaze, she bowed her hands and bowed, and thanked him: "...Thank you so much, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Lin Feng glanced at the last line of the warehousing amount.
I mentally added, subtracted and subtracted, and finally put a tick on the account.
Today's task was successfully completed.
"Kaijie? Where do you start talking about this?"
The female officer said: "His Royal Highness has been feeling depressed recently. After having a heart-to-heart talk with the female monarch, he can finally see some smiles on his face."
Lin Feng did not take the credit.
He just said: "This is because His Highness has a clear mind."
I decided to do it myself, but it wasn't her who persuaded me to do it.
Knowing that Lin Feng was cautious, the female officer did not continue the topic, but asked someone to bring the things up. I saw two plates of hot, white, fat rice **** on a food table. There were some salty toppings inside the rice balls, as well as julienned and refreshing cucumbers.
Female official: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that there would be a bumper harvest in one day. Your Highness just got up and rushed to the fields to harvest a small half acre, and had people wash and cook the chaff. There was too much. I want to use it so that I can have a taste of my craftsmanship.”
The time is too short to grind it, so I just add the ingredients and knead it into a ball. I don’t have any cooking skills, so it’s not that delicious, but it’s also not that good. Lin Feng thought so at first, until she took a bite and tasted the salty smell.
"What's this?"
She almost spit it out.
There is a small ball of smooth and soft stuff in the middle of the cucumber shreds and fish floss. The taste is difficult to describe in words, it is a little sour and a little pungent. Then I picked up another one and took a bite. This rice ball didn't have the strange smell, but it had small dried fish inside.
It's still a small dried fish with a great taste.
"...Ahem, the taste here in the southeast is too weird..."
I thought it was the girl in red who was deliberately teasing me. I turned around and saw a group of girls standing on the field bank in the distance. Her hands were stained, her sleeves were rolled up, and her trouser legs were tied to the crook of her legs. She stood in the wind and chuckled as she came closer. The rice **** in the hands of the female officer.
Relying on his excellent eyesight, Lin Feng was convinced that the other party's rice **** and his own rice **** were made by the same person and had the same recipe. Gee, what else could she complain about?
Lin Feng could only eat the rest with a wry smile.
Fortunately, the new rice is soft, glutinous and delicate, with a sweet aroma.
Chew it, Chew it. After finishing the five rice **** on the plate, I gradually got used to the strange taste, but it was not completely unacceptable. Lin Feng enjoyed the coolness of the evening breeze, while in his mind he estimated the extent of the decline in grain production caused by the fertility of his fields. If he wants to deliver the goods as scheduled, he must either let Zhai Le allocate national resources to ensure the fertility of his fields, or change a batch of fields for cultivation. Now these fields will be almost useless after two or three more rounds of planting.
It will take a long time to restore fertility by ordinary means.
Lin Feng didn't want to cause Qu Guo to misunderstand, saying that she deliberately destroyed Qu Guo's farmland. During the cooperation between the two parties, it is still necessary to maintain a superficial harmony and minimize conflicts. She was lost in thought when she suddenly felt that the wind blowing on her face had weakened and was blocked by someone.
Oh, it's Gong Xiqiu who has been missing for several days.
The other party looked a little dazed, and his face was not as rosy as before.
If his usual expression was that others owed him five hundred taels, now even the dogs passing by owed him fifty thousand taels. Lin Feng glanced up and down and saw no bandage marks or smell of blood, so he guessed he was not injured. I guess it's a stepping stone?
"What's new? Try it?"
Lin Feng handed over the plate.
Gong Xiqiu picked up a ball and stuffed it into his mouth without looking. The next second he turned his head and spat it out, his facial features twisted: "...Bah, what's the weird smell? Did you stuff a corpse in it, or was it poisoned?"
Lin Feng turned his fingers into a ball of flame and sent the poor rice **** back to the earth. He said with a smile: "Every grain of rice is hard work, don't waste it."
Gong Xiqiu ate the remaining half of the ball with a stinky face.
His assessment was: "Worth than swill."
Lin Feng: "..."
What a harsh comment.
She asked: "General, have you gained anything these days?"
Gongxi Qiuhan said with a face: "It's okay not to mention it, it's bad luck!"
Lin Feng thought for a while and handed him a warm rice cake, newly made in the kitchen, with some red bean paste in it. If it's not sweet enough, you can also dip it in some brown sugar. Gong Xiqiu took two bites of one and chewed it hard, as if the rice cake was his enemy.
He whispered: "...the seal is no longer there."
Lin Feng knew the past of the Gongxi clan, and also knew what Gongxi Qiu was investigating during his trip, so he had an ominous premonition when he heard this.
"...Is it really that person?"
Is that the Chehou next to Zhai Xiaofang?
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. It's not just the sealed person who disappeared, but also the person who suppressed him... the seal itself..." Gong Xiqiu paused suspiciously for a long time when he said this, and frowned, "... I'm worried about appearing. Traitor..."
Lin Feng was shocked: "How is this possible?"
"...I hope not."
"Did you encounter any obstacles when you went to investigate?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "Well, I was ambushed."
The two sides only fought briefly and did not fight to the death, so the specific cultivation level and trump card of the ambusher were not clear. Gong Xiqiu didn't want to make any noise, and the other party was also worried about something, so he deliberately restrained himself.
Lin Feng's mood was visibly lowered.
When encountering Gong Xiqiu, he dared to take action directly and was able to retreat completely, which meant that the opponent was not much weaker. Could this person be Che Hou next to Zhai Le? Lin Feng said: "I am going to discuss with Lord Zhai tomorrow about the fertility of the country. Are you going too?"
See if the breath is a person?
Gong Xiqiu said: "Yes."
Then, he pointed at the girl in red and asked, "Who is she?"
Lin Feng looked in the direction she pointed, and happened to see the girl in red squinting her peach blossom eyes slightly, laughing at the female officer and talking about something. The others also had different expressions, all of which were very beautiful, each with its own merits. I have to say, it is a beautiful scene that can be captured in a painting.
"The daughter of Lord Zhai, the concubine of King Qu."
Gong Xiqiu let out a short sigh: "Really?"
"What's so fake about this?"
Gong Xiqiu turned his head and muttered something.
"...You can't even raise a daughter, you're a waste."
Lin Feng tilted his head and wondered: "Huh?"
Gong Xiqiu made seven or eight rice cakes by himself, and not a single red bean special edition was left. Lin Feng said: "...you didn't see...oh, you couldn't see...how old is his daughter?"
"...virtual year...twelve or thirteen?"
The age calculation in the southeast is quite different from that in the northwest.
"...at this age, and a warrior...well, actually it's about the same." Gong Xiqiu didn't know what he was estimating there, but Lin Feng's scalp went numb with just a few words, "...I think Tang Guo's incompetent son back then was... …”
“You—be careful what you say!”
Lin Feng subconsciously interrupted Gong Xiqiu's words.
He moved his eyes away from the girl in red, opened his mouth several times, and said after a while: "Impossible, she - even though she doesn't have much contact, it can be seen that she is the same as her father, and she is not a character who suffers from boredom. What do you mean? , who dares to touch her?"
Not to mention that that daring man will die without a burial place, even the earthworms next to the nine tribes will be chopped up by Zhai Le!
Gong Xiqiu said in surprise: "You misunderstood."
How could it be what Lin Feng was thinking about?
"Zhai Xiaofang himself is a brave warrior who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. Whether the people close to him are perfect or not can be seen by looking at their Qi..." Gong Xiqiu's words made Lin Feng slightly relieved, and he mentioned it again the next second. Get up, "No one can touch her."
Lin Feng thought about this and hesitated for a while.
"You...are there any truth in your words?"
"Yes, no one can touch her."
Lin Feng swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and chose to end the topic.
Gong Xiqiu was not surprised: "Would Lin Xiaomama be surprised by such a thing? Among politicians, the most indispensable thing is money, power and sex. I saw everything around Tang Guo back then."
Should we say that the officials of Kang State governed the Qingming Festival? Or is there something deeply hidden? Or was Mama and Chu Wuhui protecting her too well?
