"I've been in the capital for so long, but I haven't eaten at Jingshui Tower before. It tastes pretty good." Chu Yue swallowed the food in her mouth and said.
Lu Xinghe took a piece of the steamed sea bass closest to him and put it into Chu Yue's bowl.
"Try it, Jingshui Tower is close to the water, and the fish is quite unique."
He had been in the capital for almost three years, so it was normal for Jingshui Tower to come to him.
Chu Yue smiled, picked up the seabass that had been dipped in the soup and put it into her mouth.
The fish is tender and refreshing, really good.
"tasty."
The food here is on the lighter side, which is two characteristics of Ruyiju's cuisine.
It's also good to come here for a bite every once in a while.
After several people finished eating, Lu Xinghe and Qian Yu left in a carriage because they still had some things to deal with.
Jingshui Tower is not too far from the medical center. Wu Yong proposed to send Chu Yue back first, but Chu Yue did not refuse.
"Wu Yong, do you have a group of people to feed?" Chu Yue asked while walking on the road.
Wu Yong looked at her in surprise.
"how do you know?"
Chu Yue looked around at the street stalls and said, "Liao Meng was treating his injuries at my place a few days ago. He was also worried about how to arrange the people under his command, so I gave him an idea to let him Buy a village and let the brothers who don’t want to go home live in it, practice kung fu, farm, and be self-sufficient.”
Wu Yong nodded, "That's a good idea."
Chu Yue looked at him again, "How do you arrange the people under your command?"
Wu Yong pursed his lips and smiled.
"Similar to your idea, I used the reward I got this time to build a few hills. It's relatively cheap to build a hill. However, you can only plant trees on the hills. You can't grow a large number of crops. You have to provide food and military pay for the brothers. "
Planting trees is no better than growing food.
Grain can mature for at least one season a year, but it takes many years to harvest trees.
“If you don’t have a sustainable industry, you will find it very difficult over time.”
"I'm just worried." Wu Yong smiled and scratched his head, "But apart from fighting, I don't have any business ideas. I really can't think of anything for a while."
Chu Yue thought for a while and then said, "In fact, mountains also have their own benefits. You can grow fruit trees, dryland crops, and medicinal materials. If it is not too far from the capital, you can also set up a resort. You can design it reasonably according to the characteristics of the mountain. This will not only give the brothers something to do, but also increase profits.”
After hearing Chu Yue's words, Wu Yong's eyes lit up.
"Yueyue, you are still smart."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I'm almost at the hospital. You must have a lot of things on your hands, so go ahead and do your work first."
Wu Yong glanced at Xingyue Medical Center, which he could already see in front of the door, and then looked at Chu Yue.
"Then be careful."
"I will."
Watching Wu Yong leave, Chu Yue walked to a small stall on the street and picked up a hairpin decorated with red agate.
"Boss, how do you sell this?"
The owner of the stall hurriedly said, "This lady has good eyesight. The hairpin in your hand comes from the Western Regions. I received it from the soldiers who returned from the Western Regions a few days ago. This is the only one. If you like it, give me two or three." silver."
"Ningdong."
Chu Yue called out to Ningdong, then took the hairpin and walked to Xingyue Medical Center.
Ningdong hurried forward to pay the small stall owner, and then quickly caught up with Chu Yue. Seeing her throwing the hairpin in her hand, she felt a little curious.
"Princess, do you like this hairpin very much?"
Chu Yue looked at the hairpin in her hand, "I can't say I like it very much, I just think the style is special. I happen to have never worn anything of this style before, so I bought it to fill my makeup box."
Ningdong thought for a while, "I think the princess's dark peacock green short coat and long skirt go well with this hairpin. I haven't seen the princess wear that set of clothes yet."
Chu Yue pursed her lips and smiled, then put the hairpin into her robe.
"I'll try it next time I get a chance."
That set of clothes was actually slightly different from the service style in Beijing, and she designed it herself.
The short half-sleeved outer skirt is thin and light in color. The collar is embroidered with white pear blossoms, which is very elegant. The long skirt inside is pure deep peacock green.
That set of clothes and the hairpin she just bought were both in rich colors, so they matched perfectly.
Ningdong has been following him for so long, and he still has good taste in dressing up.
In the afternoon, when Chu Yue was busy, she saw Ningdong walking in from outside excitedly.
"Princess Princess, guess what I heard just now."
Chu Yue raised her head and glanced at her.
"What?"
Ningdong said in her ear with excitement on his face, "The Crown Prince of Changping went to complain, and happened to meet His Highness bringing his uncle into the palace. After His Majesty learned the whole story, he directly deposed him as Crown Prince. Saying that his virtue is not worthy of the throne, I ordered the Changping Marquis Mansion to choose another heir apparent."
Chu Yue was not interested at all in whether Cao Bin had been deposed as the crown prince. She was more concerned about another matter.
"Why did my husband enter the palace?"
When Chu Yue asked this question, Ningdong also felt strange.
"This servant has not heard of it, and she doesn't know what my uncle is doing in the palace. However, he is the top candidate in this examination. Your Majesty appreciates his talent, so it is not surprising that he is summoned to the palace."
Chu Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's really not surprising."
After she finished speaking, she continued to write the prescription.
Ningdong looked at Chu Yue with curiosity on his face.
"Princess, there is only half a month until May. If I successfully become the number one scholar, can I become a high official?"
Chu Yue put down the book and came to the counter with the prescription she had just written. While preparing the prescription in her hand, she said quietly, "Even if you are the number one scholar, becoming an official must be done step by step. It is impossible to start from the beginning." It puts you in an important position, but your starting point is higher than others."
Ningdong nodded.
"I think my uncle is already very powerful. How many people in this world can be ranked first in the test?"
Chu Yue smiled and said, "That's true. Others may not be able to gain fame even if they study hard for decades. My husband was delayed for nine years due to changes in his family. To be able to achieve the results he has now is not something ordinary people can achieve. of."
After she prepared the medicinal ingredients, she gave them to the waiter at the medical center and asked him to grind them into powder, package them in paper bags, and send them to Mrs. Lin in Shangshu Mansion.
After doing this, Chu Yue put away her silver needle bag.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back to Zhuangzi."
Ningdong hurriedly put the silver needle bag in Chu Yue's hand into the medicine box and asked, "Princess, don't you go back to the hospital after eating?"
Chu Yue shook her head, "No, I haven't cooked by myself for a long time. I will go back and eat with my husband later."
Hearing this, Ningdong stretched out his voice with a face full of teasing.
"My slave, the princess just wants to see my uncle as soon as possible. Tsk tsk, it's only been two hours since we separated after lunch."
