Zhuang Fu Lang

Chapter 87

It was early August when Shen Yanbei returned from Shangrao County to Jingyong.The courtiers who had doubts about Shen Yanbei's personal ability at the beginning all closed their mouths obediently.

This young champion not only handled the earthquake relief beautifully, but also put out a terrorist locust plague that was likely to spread to a large area in a very short period of time. They asked themselves, they couldn't do it at all!

So Shen Yanbei was promoted and added in the eyes of everyone, either admired or jealous. He was promoted to two ranks and became an official from the fourth rank!

This terrifying rate of promotion is definitely the fastest and the only one in the history of Daqi and even the previous officials!

Shen Yanbei is too young, not even twenty-five years old.It took five years for Chen Yanbei to be promoted from the fifth-ranked Hanlin Academy to the fourth-ranked court minister who was eligible to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion to worship the minister. But Shen Yanbei was promoted to the fourth rank within a year. The son is eligible to join the cabinet!

This proper reserve of cabinet ministers made the ministers realize that Shen Yanbei is the real red man in front of the emperor. Even if Shen Yanbei has no outstanding achievements in the future, he can survive three to five years before he is thirty. Join the cabinet and become the youngest cabinet minister in the history of Daqi and the previous dynasties!

It's simply an official route and a boundless future!

It was so terrible, many people congratulated him overtly and secretly, and Shen Yanbei, who was promoted and had not made a fortune, happily accepted everyone's congratulations.

He is now a fourth-rank official, is he eligible to go to court?

The answer is no.

Generally, those who can go to court are officials with actual positions, such as officials with ranks 6 and 4 and above, but he is still a Hanlin official with no real power.

Shen Yanbei sighed, forget it, he hasn't been an official for a long time, he can't make it to the sky in one step, and with his daughter-in-law's rank, he can't do anything without doing anything.

Chariots rushed back from Shangrao County, Zhao Yu gave him a few days off, let him rest.

There was no need to go to the Imperial Academy on duty, and Shen Yanbei could not be idle either.The restaurant has been renovated, and he has to prepare for the opening of the restaurant. The peppers in the ground are ripe for picking, and the spring wheat is about to be harvested.

As the Yongjing branch of Tongfu Restaurant, Tongfu Restaurant still inherits the decoration style of the old store, with the lobby deck on the first floor and the private room on the second floor.

Just as he brought a group of Lagan locusts back from Shangrao County, Shen Yanbei used the migratory locust feast as a gimmick to publicize the medicinal value of locusts and how delicious they are, and then announced the purchase of cicada pupae in several villages on the outskirts of the city and collected them. The cicada pupa was launched as the second special dish on the opening day of the restaurant.

Due to the unique decoration style and novel dishes, the restaurant attracted a lot of customers with good money to taste it on the day of its opening.

Let Su Qingze help to see the store, and Shen Yanbei went to the downstairs village to direct the villagers to pick peppers and harvest spring wheat.

The endless greenery is dotted with countless festive bright reds. People who don't know think that some flowers are planted.But when you walk in, you will find the special thing about this plant-the plant is not big, but it is covered with pinky-sized red fruits, and a cluster of flowers blooming, facing the sky.

Shen Yanbei picked a chili in his hand and tasted it, his eyes lit up with the continuous spicy sensation on the tip of his tongue.

The villagers in the downstairs village watered and fertilized the weeds in time. The peppers grow well and the quality of the peppers is also very good. He is very satisfied.

He hired dozens of villagers and spent three days harvesting the peppers, and arranged for someone to topdress and water them in time and store the peppers in the sun. Shen Yanbei turned his head to see the output of spring wheat.

Due to proper management, the output of spring wheat has increased by nearly 50%, but it has not reached the expectations of Shen Yanbei, but the output has made the villagers excited.Looking at Shen Yanbei's gaze is almost like looking at the land god.

This time the output increased by nearly 50%, then the next planting time may increase the yield even more, and the cultivation will be carried out one after another, and finally the best varieties can be planted!

The spring wheat with full grains was selected and the rest was put into storage. Shen Yanbei turned around and bought another 50 acres of fertile land as experimental fields.Winter wheat can be sown in mid-to-late September. At this time, the manure must be piled up and the ground prepared for use.

Picking up good varieties of winter wheat seeds, Shen Yanbei handed over the methods of soaking the seeds and accelerating germination to the villagers downstairs, and he was very busy.

In the private room on the second floor of the newly opened Tongfu restaurant on Chang'an Avenue, Su Qingze is eating freshly baked fried grasshoppers and cicada pupae. The stern young man sitting opposite him has deep black eyes looking at the plate of fried insects that exudes an alluring fragrance. There is no meaning to move chopsticks.

Seeing that he couldn't put down his chopsticks, Su Qingze simply gave him a chopstick: "It's delicious, you try it!"

The young man tried his best, and then slightly nodded: "Yes." The grasshoppers and cicada pupae were deep fried, sprinkled with some spices that he had never eaten, and the flavor was very unique.

The boy mentioned Tongfu Restaurant in his letter a long time ago. Yan Tongfu Restaurant is very different in terms of decoration and dim sum dishes. Now that Tongfu Restaurant has opened a branch, he finally has the opportunity to taste what the boy said. It's delicious, and what's more rare is that this time the boy invited him out.

"Then do you think fried grasshoppers are delicious or fried cicada pupae?"

Zhao Yu didn't have a lot of appetite, but the boy asked, he thought about it seriously, and said: "If you compare fried cicada pupae to beef, then fried grasshoppers are mutton, with more flavor."

Su Qingze nodded appreciatively, the fried grasshopper chicken was crunchy!But fried cicada pupae are also delicious!

Seeing that the boy couldn't stop eating, Zhao Yu's eyes gradually softened and he served him a bowl of clear soup.

Su Qingze squeaked his cheeks, and saw that his bowl was still empty, so he put a piece of braised pork ribs for him.After Zhao Yumian ate the ribs without changing his taste, he put down his chopsticks, and still did not move the chopsticks.

Su Qingze looked up at him suspiciously, Zhao Yu's eyes were deep, and his eyes were deep and hot.Su Qingze looked away nonchalantly, and put another chopsticks to boil the cabbage heart.Zhao Yu is still like this. Su Qingze will eat whatever he picks up for him. He doesn't take the initiative to pick up the food or speak, so he eats the food silently.

The atmosphere was temporarily cold.

"Are you...angry?" Su Qingze looked directly at him with black and white eyes, holding the chopsticks slightly hard.

During this period of time, Zhao Yuzheng was busy but still took time out to accompany him, occasionally he couldn't help but do something close to him, but he was very restrained.It's just that he never takes the initiative even though he receives it.

After all, Zhao Yu is the emperor who controls the power of life and killing in the world. He hangs on him like this, his attitude is ambiguous, and his patience will eventually be polished...

Zhao Yu's eyes darkened and he said nothing.

Sure enough, he was angry, who made himself so pampered and proud?Su Qingze pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, but the next moment a gentle palm covered his head, and Zhao Yu's sigh came from his ears.

"I'm not angry with you."

Su Qingze was taken aback, and as soon as he raised his head, he faced Zhao Yu's deep black eyes.

"I'm just angry with myself." Zhao Yu laughed self-deprecatingly, "You have the mind to test my bottom line." He is used to controlling everything in his hands, but he doesn't know that emotional matters cannot be controlled. of.The young man has a knot in his heart because of his concealment of his identity, and he always keeps a line on him.This was caused by him alone, he admitted.

Su Qingze's eyes flickered slightly.

Rubbing his hair, Zhao Yu's eyes were apologetic, and he said softly, "It's me that makes you unhappy."

Su Qingze's heart suddenly became sour and astringent, and Su Qingze's lips moved: "Aheng, I..."

Zhao Yu turned off the topic: "Are you ready to eat? Walk with me?"

"……it is good."

At this time, the two people walked side by side in the street.The young man has a long body and a handsome temperament. The young man has red lips and white teeth, a little red between the eyebrows, smart and cute.The two walked along, attracting many people's attention.

There is no curfew in Yongjing City, the streets are brightly lit, and the bustling is not lost in the day.Because the night is much cooler, many people prefer to take a stroll after dinner, and some people bring their children out to watch juggling.

There were a lot of people on the street, and Zhao Yu guarded Su Qingze behind him and crossed the crowd towards the cool river.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and many young women and twins are putting on river lanterns.Countless river lights

Sparsely and densely scattered on the river surface, drifting into the distance under the escort of the long night wind.The red candlelight illuminates the gloomy river water, extinguishing brightly, like the stars in the sky twinkling.

"Can I send someone to escort you back to Qingzhou after staying with me?" The boy has been here for almost half a year. Although he is reluctant and afraid of his parents, he is really busy these days and cannot accompany him every day. .Without relatives and friends, he was afraid of loneliness and boredom.

Su Qingze was a little surprised. Zhao Yu didn't explain much, but said: "Remember to write to me."

Su Qingze's eyelashes trembled, and said softly.He does miss home a bit, but...

Looking at the river lanterns that carried the best wishes in the hearts of the lamplighters, Su Qingze suddenly called him.

"Zhao Yu."

Zhao Yu turned to look at him, frowning slightly.

This is the first time a teenager called his name, and he still used such a serious tone.

Su Qingze looked at him directly: "Do you have to marry me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu frowned even more tightly.

He always finds a way to grasp the things he fancy, and the throne is naturally so too.but……

"I don't have to marry you," Zhao Yu said solemnly, "It's because you don't marry."

The meanings of these two sentences are very different, but Su Qingze is unmoved: "You are the emperor."

Zhao Yu's heart shook, and he understood the deep meaning of his words in an instant.

It turned out that all the young people's anxiety and hesitation originated from this.

Zhao Yu looked solemn and sincere: "I am the emperor, but I only want to share these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with you."

The young man didn't make promises easily, and he would do what he said. Su Qingze blinked and put his hand into his palm: "Zhao Yu, don't lie to me."

Zhao Yu squeezed his hand: "Okay."

On the second day in the morning, when the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, they all saw incredible in the eyes of each other-the emperor seemed to be in a good mood?

It is rare that the emperor with a cold face ordered people to read the imperial decree, and Shen Yanbei once again accepted the decree in the eyes of the ministers who are worthy of being the celebrities around the emperor.

Zhao Yu ordered him to supervise the army, escorting grain, grass and warm clothing to the frontier, and by the way greeted the three armies on behalf of Zhao Yu.

Shen Yanbei, who had already accounted for everything, went home to clean up, and could not wait to set off!

I haven't seen each other for so long, and I don't know if his wife is thin or tanned?

Missing grew madly for an instant, Shen Yanbei was eager in his heart, wishing to grow wings and fly over.
