The final result of the horse racing was that Gu Shichu was half a marathon faster than Ming Xun. Gu Shichu jumped off Xue Piao's back with a loud laugh and said to Ming Xun: "I won! Remember what you promised, don't I want to regret it!”
Mingxun was quite disappointed because he lost, but when he saw the bright smile on her face, he couldn't help but laugh too, jumped off his horse and said: "Yes, you won, I keep my word..."
The two of them rode their horses so fast that they had already run out of the small horse farm and entered the forest with lush vegetation. However, it was just the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly. It shone through the gaps in the leaves, which gave it a different look. Silence and quiet.
Piaoxue and Mingxun's black horse have gone aside to eat grass leisurely. The crisp and melodious chirping of birds comes from the distance. The air with the fragrance of grass and trees is extremely fresh. In such an environment, it is easy to calm down. Shenyi.
In ancient times, I couldn't help but lie down on the grass next to a tree, looking up at the sky with mottled tree shadows.
Ming Xun also lay beside her in a hurry, with his hands behind his head, looking at the sky like her, and suddenly said whimsically: "It would be great if I could fly like a bird, I want to fly up to the sky and see , it must feel wonderful to fly freely in the sky.”
His handsome face was full of longing. I looked at him sideways in ancient times and thought to myself, it's a pity that he was born hundreds of years earlier. If he were born in later generations, he would definitely be a person who loves extreme sports and adventure, and he would definitely like wings. Pretend to fly.
"Chuchu, if I had wings, then I would fly with you on my back..." Mingxun smiled and turned to Gu Shichu, "You must hold on to my wings tightly, otherwise I will fall off." I may not be able to catch you.”
Gu Shichu raised his eyebrows and said, "When you have wings, won't I also have wings?"
"That's right..." Mingxun said with a silly smile. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "Then aren't we really flying together?"
Gu Shichu couldn't help but chuckle, he could think of Bi Yishuang and Fei?
She deliberately moved her body, pressing most of her body on his chest, then took a bite of his chin and said, "Do you really want to fly with me?"
Ming Xun blushed, as if embarrassed, and suddenly turned over quickly, pressing Gu Shichu under him. He held her waist with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. Before she could react, he suddenly Kissed her.
Gu Shichu immediately cooperated, and then kissed each other, but the two of them couldn't control it. The situation was out of control, like dry wood meeting a fierce fire, crackling and burning.
It was extremely exciting under this scene of heaven and earth. The two of them rolled around for a long time before finally ending with unfulfilled feelings.
When they returned home, both of them stopped riding horses and sat in the carriage obediently.
Gu Shichu and Ming Xun's life was like honey, but Gu Shichu did not forget the two corn seedlings she was thinking about. In order to make them grow better, she secretly applied fertilizer several times, so After a few months, six corns were harvested.
In ancient times, only two were picked, and four were left to let them grow and be used as seeds later. Don't eat them all.
The tender corn is steamed casually and the aroma is very tempting.
At first, Mingxun didn't believe that the fruits of this plant could be eaten, but when he asked about the aroma of the corn cobs after being cooked, he had no doubts at all. However, for safety reasons, he broke them off sadly. A lot of corn kernels were given to the chickens. Seeing that there was no problem with the chickens and they were still jumping around, they didn't stop Gu Shichu anymore. He himself was very excited and tasted the corn carefully.
After taking the first bite, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take several more bites.
"Chuchu! What kind of corn is this? It's really delicious, sweet and soft, but there's just too little. Why don't we cook two more?" Mingxun said with unfinished meaning.
Gu Shichu rolled his eyes at him: "Eat all the seeds, what will you plant next year?"
Mingxun immediately sighed in disappointment: "If I had known, I would have asked that merchant to buy more of these."
"You didn't know what this was at the beginning, so don't be an afterthought..." Gu Shichu scolded him mercilessly.
Mingxun said with a smile: "Aren't I just talking?"
Gu Zhichu knew the importance of corn, so he said to him: "We have to keep the remaining four corn cobs well and plant more next year. By the way, tell your father about this."
Mingxun asked doubtfully: "Why should you tell dad? It's just a novel food."
Gu Shichu said expressionlessly: "Novel food? If the new grains spread from overseas can be successfully promoted and grown in our banquet dynasty, they can feed many people... Whether the food can keep the people full, this is It is a major event related to the rise and fall of the world. If you come up with grain that can feed many people, do you know how much credit it will be?"
Although Ming Xun has never done anything serious, he has been in the political center since he was a child. His father is still a powerful minister, so he still has some structure and awareness. Therefore, after Gu Shichu said these words, he immediately thought Understood, his expression suddenly became serious, and he solemnly said to Gu Shichu: "I understand, I will go and tell dad about this now."
After Gu Shichu told Ming Xun about corn, he didn't care much about it. As expected, Qi Yanghou was not like Ming Xun who only thought about growing and eating it himself. He thought more.
So Mingxun's small garden was taken over by the Marquis of Qiyang, and the two corn seedlings were the focus of care. Even if Gu Shichu and Mingxun wanted to take a look, they had to report to the Marquis of Qiyang in advance.
When the ears of corn matured, they were collected solemnly by the Marquis of Qi Yang, waiting for sowing next year.
Knowing that Qi Yanghou valued corn so much, I felt relieved in ancient times. It seems that her corn braised, roasted corn, corn pine nut kernels, corn cream soup... are expected to be eaten next year.
That day when Gu Shichu and Ming Xun were thinking about carving jade, Zhiqiu came up to report that Mrs. An Guogong was ill and wanted to meet the married aunts in the mansion.
Gu Shichu was very confused. Even if Mrs. Zhou wanted to see someone when she was sick, she should also want to see her biological daughter Gu Shiyao, right? How could he possibly want to see his niece and her concubines?
Could it be that Mrs. Zhou was not sick, but used the excuse of being sick to come to them? But what can she, the Duke of Anguo, think about about these married women?
Gu Shichu soon realized that Mrs. Zhou must be drunk and not interested in drinking, but as her niece, her elders had made it clear that when she was sick and wanted to see her relatives, she could not refuse to go back to see her, otherwise there would be consequences A lot of bad words.
Although Gu Chu didn't care about rumors, it was better to avoid trouble if possible, and she was confident that as long as she didn't want to, even if her eldest aunt wanted to scheme, she wouldn't be able to succeed.
Therefore, she didn't hesitate any longer and returned to Duke Anguo's mansion without saying a word.
