Chapter 183: pure misunderstanding

She was talking and got up from her seat.

Only then did I see that she was wearing an Ai Lu curly grass-patterned Xiang skirt, she took a step forward, and the skirt dangled like thin water waves, and she actually walked up to him, pacing around him , looked him up and down.

Wei Liang felt his hair stand on end.

When the other party stood in front of him, he didn't dare to raise his head; when the other party stood behind him, his back was as stiff as a stone pillar.

It was purely a misunderstanding that Jiang Xuening knew Wei Liang in her previous life.

At that time, Shen Jie, the king of Linzi, had just ascended the throne, and he took her to play in Zhongfang City, Beijing. He met a group of businessmen with deep eyes and high nose who came from the sea, and they were selling some strange fruits on the street.

A lot of people gathered around to watch the excitement.

But there are very few that cost money to buy.

She and Shen Jie were just watching the excitement from the sidelines, but when they were about to leave, they saw a not tall and not strong literati struggling to push through the crowd, came to those businessmen, and said that he not only wanted to buy those fruits , also want to buy the seeds of these fruits.

So they talked nonsense, but the price was not agreed.

The literati was so angry that his face turned red, and he seemed to be very attached to these fruits and seeds, standing on the street and refusing to walk.

In the end, it was Zheng Bao who had sharp eyes and remembered people, and whispered to Shen Jie, "Isn't this the Wei Tanhua you handpicked by Jinke?"

Only then did Shen Jie take a serious look.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help being surprised.

After Shen Jie thought about it, he asked Zheng Bao to rescue this eccentric Tanhua Lang, pay him, and finally let someone bring him over for a conversation.

As the emperor, Shen Jie doesn't remember people very much, but even if Shen Jie, who is a Tanhua, doesn't remember what Shen Jie looks like, he can still recognize Zheng Bao who was standing in front of the steps when he was passed on in the Golden Palace, so he has to come forward to salute immediately.

Fortunately, Shen Jie stopped in time.

Then he was very puzzled and asked him what he wanted to do by buying this pile of troublesome things.

Wei Liang's head was covered with cold sweat, and he only said that he had some obscene hobbies, and he was used to studying the things in the fields, and Shen Jie was not to blame.

Shen Jie looked at the fruits he was holding in his arms, then shook his head again and again.

I don't know if he thinks that Tan Hua Lang is not doing his job properly or has other ideas, but there is no punishment in the end, he just said: "It's understandable to have some entertainment outside of business, take it back and study it, and study it, anyway, I paid for it. If you really study something, remember to send it to the palace as a filial piety. Although I don't like this, the queen is very greedy, maybe she likes to eat."

Standing behind him, Jiang Xuening felt ashamed and wanted to refute, but couldn't speak, so she could only swallow a sigh of relief.

Wei Liang, however, let out a sigh of relief as if he had escaped a catastrophe.

After that, Shen Jie and Jiang Xuening returned to the palace, and the matter came to an end. In the palace, people fought against people, and ghosts fought against ghosts. It didn't take long for her to forget about it.

But no one expected that in the midsummer of the next year, she was teaching those starlings to speak on the corridor outside the main hall of Kunning Palace, when she saw the head of the House of Internal Affairs bring in several eunuchs carrying something.

At first glance, it is full of strange-shaped fruits.

There is also a spiked one, which looks like a huge meteor hammer.

After asking, I found out that Wei Liang, an editor and editor in the Imperial Academy, specially presented it. After asking the emperor, someone sent it to her.

Jiang Xuening couldn't remember what happened back then, as soon as the **** from the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, she and the maids in the palace studied these fruits for a long time.

Some are delicious, and some are inappropriate.

In the end, everyone's attention was focused on the fruit covered with thorns. I heard that it was called durian, and the outer shell had to be opened to eat the meat inside, so the little **** asked the little **** to take a knife and finally opened it. .

result…

That smell stunned everyone in Kunning Palace, making Jiang Xuening unforgettable for life!

This thing is said to be edible?

She flew into a rage, only thinking that this surnamed Wei seemed honest, and he turned out to be more exaggerated than those Qingliu veterans in the court who opposed her. This was an obvious opportunity to humiliate herself!

So one day the Emperor of the Imperial Garden gave a banquet, and Jiang Xuening found an opportunity to bring Wei Liang out to speak alone.

Wei Liang seemed oblivious to the disaster he had caused, and asked Jiang Xuening how he was eating those fruits.

Jiang Xuening almost asked someone to pull him down and behead him.

But anyway, this is also Tanhualang ordered by the emperor himself, but it is not her turn to do it blatantly, so she just told him with a smile on her face that she likes the things he sent, since he is so obsessed with fruits and vegetables. It is a waste to stay in the Hanlin Academy, why not let them go out and be a parent official with the people, and teach them to farm? She can also help him talk to the emperor.

It stands to reason that any intelligent officials in the DPRK and China would tremble with fright and break out in a cold sweat when they heard this.

Because the words themselves are an obvious threat.

Staying in the Imperial Academy is a "prime minister", and most of them will be able to stay in Beijing as an official in the future. If you are going to be sent to various provinces to become officials before you have made it through, it is all unsatisfactory, low-level officials, and hard work.

Unexpectedly, after Wei Liang was stunned, he was full of joy, his brows and eyes were brightened, his face was flushed, he stumbled and bowed and said, "This, how dare you trouble your mother?"

At that time, Jiang Xuening really didn't understand what kind of reaction he was.

She made a few words of sarcasm, but Wei Liang didn't know whether he was really confused or pretending to be confused, he thought she was praising him, and his smile became brighter.

In the end, Jiang Xuening was at a loss, seeing that he wasn't angry at all, she was so annoyed that she walked away.

That night, he made a small report with Shen Jie.

He said that Wei Liang was such a man, he wanted to flatter him, he was not a good official, so he simply sent him to a remote province, let him reflect on it, and grow happy if he loves farming.

Shen Jie could not help comforting her, coaxing her, telling her not to be angry.

At that time, Jiang Xuening thought that Shen Jie would still favor this annoying Tanhua.

As a result, I heard the next day that when he was in court, Shen Jie took Wei Liang out of the Imperial Academy with a transfer order, and threw him to Gaoyou as the county magistrate.

Now Jiang Xuening is happy.

Shen Jie didn't say anything, and when they had dinner together in the evening, he just looked at her and smiled, and asked her if this time was a good time.

Jiang Xuening's tail went up to the sky.

She thought, with Wei Liang as a lesson from the past, Tan Hualang ran to become the county magistrate, and her life was miserable. She expected that no one would dare to provoke her in the future.

However…

Only in the past year, when the Ministry of Household Affairs sorted out the taxes of various provinces, it was shocked to find that the land tax and grain payment in Gaoyou County had doubled compared with last year!

For the first time, Jiang Xuening began to suspect that God deliberately messed with her.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by the situation in Gaoyou County. Some people suspected that he had increased the taxes of the common people, and some people suspected that there was some ulterior motive in it. Naturally, Shen Jie was also very surprised and sent someone to investigate.

The results of the investigation slapped everyone in the face.

People rely on hard skills. Since Gaoyou County farmed with the county lord Wei Liang, two acres of rice have been planted in one acre of land. It is their own grain that has been doubled first, so they paid more grain to the court.

Needless to say, Jingzhong urgently summoned Wei Liang to Beijing.

If the increase in rice yield per mu in Gaoyou County can be generalized, wouldn't there be no famine in the Great Qian Dynasty?

In those two days, Jiang Xuening was extremely sad.

Thinking that Wei Liang's gaining power is definitely not a good thing for him, and he was thinking about what to do with this person, when the **** from the House of Internal Affairs came here carrying something in a hurry.

Those were three full baskets of high-quality Gaoyou salted duck eggs.

The **** said that Wei Liang, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, specially asked someone to honor her when he went to Beijing this time, in order to express his gratitude to the empress for her recommendation.

Jiang Xuening was stunned.

It was hard to tell whether it was a mockery or a sarcasm.

But in short, Wei Liang didn't seem to notice her previous shame and malice, and he simply engraved her "kindness" in his heart. Therefore, after holding an important position in the household department for three consecutive levels, he would say that the empress is a rare thing when he meets everyone. She is such a good person, others misunderstood her too deeply. Moreover, some seasonal fresh melons and fruits were sent to Beijing at every turn, so the Imperial Dining Room didn't have to go outside to buy them for a while.

In this way, Jiang Xuening inexplicably won over a capable minister who was regarded by the people as a real "food and clothing parent".

She couldn't help thinking—

Others really didn't misunderstand Bengong, but Wei Liang, you misunderstood Bengong too deeply!

But anyway, the pies falling from the sky are not received in vain, and Wei Liang's mind is probably only used for reading and farming, and Yu Chaotang's struggle is really not the slightest bit sharp.

Others thought he was his confidant.

Jiang Xuening also had to rack her brains to mediate for the other party. When the other party recklessly offended someone or blocked someone's way and was counted by others, she had to follow behind and act like a cow to deal with the aftermath or defend.

Sometimes she wonders: who is the ancestor of Ben Gong and Wei Liang?

In short, as time went by, this weak-headed man became utterly devoted to her.

Whether it was a misunderstanding at the beginning is naturally not important.

No matter how the government changes, such a person is the most favored by the superiors, and the common people cannot do without. So Jiang Xuening thought, even if she collapsed in the last life, Wei Liang's ending should not be bad.

The worst thing is to go back to the hometown to farm.

Anyway he likes it.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening stared at the other party, and her mood became very complicated. After a while, she parted the corners of her lips and smiled innocently: "Young Master Wei, I'm asking you something."

Wei Liang shivered: "I, I am..."

Jiang Xuening showed the patience she used to coax idiots in her previous life: "Who told you?"

Wei Liang wished he could dig a hole and bury himself: "Yes, I am worried about this, and no one told me."

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Don't let anyone stop me, I want to beat this person up!

Her eyelids twitched a few times, she raised her finger and pressed it lightly, barely stretched a kind face that was about to tear, and praised inappropriately: "Mr. Wei is really a thoughtful and caring person."

Wei Liang didn't hear the implication, and thought she was really a compliment.

Jing sternly said: "I don't dare to be the one. I'm just doing it for the livelihood of the people. If the grain is plentiful but the country is in chaos, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

"..."

Jiang Xuening took a deep breath.

"Then you can rest assured, this girl dare not associate with the Heavenly Sect even if she is deceived by lard, Mr. Wei's worry is really unfounded."

Wei Liang breathed a sigh of relief immediately: "So, Wei is too worried. Since the girl from the host family said so, then Wei will believe it."

He untied the account book from his sleeve and handed it over.

He just said: "This is the grain account for the season's harvest that Wei has deducted privately, please forgive me for my recklessness."

The account book was tied to his arm before, and it still carried a lingering warmth.

Jiang Xuening looked at him like a fool.

Wei Liang didn't understand: "Is there something wrong?"

After a long time, Jiang Xuening said quietly: "You come all the way to ask this question. Whatever I say, you just believe it. You don't even need any evidence?"

"Oh." Wei Liang seemed to have just realized it, but to Jiang Xuening's surprise, instead of asking her for further evidence, he smiled at her, bowed to her, and said, "To be honest, I don't think girls can lie A deceitful person. Although the tenants on the farm have never seen the girl, the girl has never treated them badly, and she will not accept heavy rent. When I came down, I was still in a dilemma. I only thought that if a good person like the girl really worked for the Tianjiao , I still don’t know how to choose. Now that you say that you are not taught by heaven, I dare to believe it.”

"..."

In the previous life, this person was not killed by someone, so it really depended on me to take care of him behind the scenes.

Jiang Xuening looked at the sky speechlessly.

She decided to send a few more capable people to Wei Liang's side later, so that he would not be beaten when he went out one day, and then she said, "Come here too, what kind of tea does Mr. Wei drink?"

Wei Liang hurriedly said: "No, I still have something to do."

Jiang Xuening thought about it: "But do you want to prepare for Qiu Wei?"

Wei Liang froze for a moment, as if he was reflecting on what "Qiu Wei" was, and then he laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if Qiu Wei arrives, just take a test, but the rice has been harvested, so Wei has to go back and think about winter." Can I grow some wheat here, or try something called a potato, which grows fast and..."

Jiang Xuening felt a kind of fatigue from the bottom of her heart, only felt thousands of birds chirping in her ears, she was dizzy and dizzy, she didn't know whether she was in Sichuan or Jiangning, she could feel the pain under her feet. slipped.

After a while, Wei Liang finished speaking.

Then she asked Jiang Xuening with some brilliance in her eyes: "What do you think of my boss?"

Jiang Xuening came back to her senses, not daring to say that she didn't understand anything. Thinking about the way she dealt with this person in her previous life, she bent her lips and smiled, trying to make herself look very surprised, and said, "I think it's very good!"

Wei Liang immediately became excited: "Then I'll do this when I get back!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed and bowed, and left without the slightest intention of staying after saying goodbye.

Lian'er and Tang'er could not see behind.

The smile on Jiang Xuening's face dropped instantly, and she only asked them: "What did he say to plant just now?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

OK, I didn't understand.

Plant what you like.

Jiang Xuening opened the account book that Wei Liang handed over, and only glanced at the few numbers written down at the end, but her two willow-like slender eyebrows slowly tightened: Two years have passed, and the situation on the Tatar side has also changed. There should be signs. In terms of doing business, although she is not as good as You Bancheng in her previous life, she doesn't need to bet on both sides like her, and assisting Yan Lin alone will reduce the pressure by half. I just don't know, is it enough, and is it too late?
