"Girl, it's raining today, so don't go out and move rocks."

Ah Chi came in holding an umbrella and a food box, and saw his girl staring at the rain outside with the window wide open.

Zhao Surui sat sideways on the desk chair with his legs crossed, wishing he could twist all Shen Shiqing's bones into a hibernating snake.

Glancing at the food box, he raised his chin and said lazily: "What's in it?"

"Zhuangzi bought some new sheep in the past few days, including two ewes. Tunan took the goat's milk and beat it into crispy cakes to make milk cakes for you to eat as a snack."

While talking, Ah Chi opened the food box and carefully took out a small white porcelain plate.

The mouth of the thin white porcelain plate was six inches wide, and there were neatly stacked brown pancakes inside. Zhao Surui picked up one and looked at it. After taking a bite, he felt the crispy dough bursting in his mouth. It emits a strong milky fragrance, and it is also filled with the fragrance of pine nuts and the sweetness of jujubes.

Somewhat interesting.

Zhao Surui finished one and picked up another.

It was Achi who reported to Zhuangzi that he bought a milk-producing ewe. The price of a milk-producing ewe is much higher than that of ordinary sheep. Most of the time, he bought it for Qingying and her two daughters. To maintain good health, now that I can eat snacks like this, Zhao Surui feels that the money is not wasted.

The rain in late autumn is not as annoying as the rain in summer, but it is an endless patter. Zhao Surui clapped his hands and stood up after finishing the snack:

"What did you do in weather like this before?"

A Chi said with a smile: "Girls mostly read books. It's cold and humid, and girls don't like to draw... By the way, girl, at this time you will make some charcoal and make elixirs."

Zhao Surui, who couldn't help but pick up the crumbs of snacks in the plate with his fingers, froze and looked at Ah Chi in disbelief:

"Alchemy?!"

"Yes, girl, you said there will be no smell from the alchemy at this time."

As he said that, Achi took a book from the shelf.

"These are your prescriptions, girl."

Zhao Surui knew that Shen Sanfei liked reading, painting, mixing paints, and even making mutton soup noodles, but he never expected that this guy's hobbies would go from being a deviant to a deviant one.

Refining alchemy? Is this what a woman in a purdah should do?

Can it be done?

Looking at the book in Achi's hand, he opened it, glanced at it, closed it again, and stared at the title of the book.

Book title: "Spring Boudoir's Notes".

Content: How to prepare sulfur for alchemy, written in small regular script with hairpin flowers.

Open the book again and close it again.

This book, every time he saw the name, he would rush over it!

Who would have thought that Shen Sanfei’s spring boudoir would remember this thing!

The wise and knowledgeable Emperor Zhaode finally couldn't hold back: "Isn't your girl too angry about the things she memorized in her spring boudoir?"

Achi nodded and said a little cautiously: "It's just that the girl doesn't remember these things now, so it's better not to touch them."

Zhao Surui looked up at the little maid who was still coaxing him: "Aren't you afraid of you...I...doing this thing?"

Achi shook his head: "Achi is not afraid of anything the girl does."…

Zhao Surui was speechless for a moment.

He finally understood that Shen Sanfei was pretending to be in front of this maid. This maid was not ignorant, but she thought wholeheartedly about her girl, so she let herself know what Shen Sanfei asked her to know. If you don't want her to know, she won't know at all.

Looking at the booklet in his hand again, Zhao Surui took a deep breath, and rarely felt a little out of breath when he spoke: "That's it, Chungui, cough, do you have anything else to remember?"

Seeing that his girl was interested in these things, Achi was even more happy: "Yes, yes."

As he watched the little girl take out a book called "Flower Collection" from the bookshelf, and then opened the box and took out a copy of "Self-Hate Luo Yi Sanzhe", Emperor Zhao De couldn't help but support his head with his hands.

Shen Sanfei, Shen Sanfei, is he still very good at doing this little trick of crowing and stealing?

First, he opened the "Collection of Broken Flowers" and saw that the method of making ice from saltpeter was written in extremely strong handwriting. Zhao Surui sneered. If he had seen these things earlier, how could he have been easily fooled by Shen Sanfei when they met that day? Deceived?

No wonder Shen Shiqing knows the composition of gunpowder, including sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal. If she doesn't understand gunpowder, no one will!

Look at the book "Three Folds of Self-Hate Luo Yi" again. When he turned to the first page, Zhao Surui frowned.

"I hate myself for covering up my poems with my clothes on, and I raise my head in vain to envy the names on the list*. They are both a hundred pounds of flesh and bone, and the world has its own destiny."

Compared with the vigorous writing in "The Collection of Broken Flowers", the handwriting in this one is much smoother and more regular, but the things written are even more thrilling than the first two books.

How to describe this thrilling situation - except for the first page, the rest of the paper is obviously full of things, but Zhao Surui doesn't even recognize a word.

Zhao Su Rui was just a little uneducated, but he was not a fool. He quickly understood that what was written in this booklet was written by Shen Sanfai in another type of calligraphy.

A woman who openly took over his emperor's body not only added a name to what she wrote that made ordinary people not want to open it, she also wrote it in a language that others could not understand. There was an attempt to hide it. What kind of secret does it live in?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. As the king of a country, what he fears most is things that are not under his control. Such a kind of writing that others cannot understand can be used to write secret letters and communicate intelligence. If Shen Shi Qing colludes with someone who has disloyal intentions...

Suddenly there were wet footsteps outside the window. Zhao Surui raised his head and looked out against the wind, and saw a little maid holding an umbrella hurriedly walking from the stone path to the corridor:

"Girl, there are some tenants outside who are having a dispute with others. Now the steward opposite has brought people! Dozens of people have brought sticks. Master Shao asked the slave to tell the girl that the other tenants have bad intentions and that the girl must not go out in the yard. .”

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Zhao Surui saw Tunan bring several little maids in and close the courtyard door.

"etc!"

Zhao Surui stopped a few maids, stood up, and said in a loud voice:

"Achi, help me get dressed!"

"Girl! Those people have sticks."

"What's wrong? Someone is knocking on the door, how can I hide behind it?"…

Zhao Surui looked around the house and outside, and smiled coldly: "Since there are people coming from the other side, it is necessary to determine the winner. If we win, what do I have to fear? If we lose, don't I lose everywhere?"

During the Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition, when did the majestic Zhaode Emperor blink an eye when facing tens of thousands of enemy troops? How could he be frightened by these small formations?

After saying that, he picked up the cloak and started to wrap it around him. Achi quickly came over to help.

After putting on his clothes and changing his shoes, Zhao Surui felt that the shoes Achi brought out were too soft for fighting, so he directly stepped on the sheepskin short boots he wore while riding.

"Tunan, can you shoot arrows?"

Hearing the girl ask him angrily, Tunan quickly replied: "Girl, you can't shoot an arrow while riding a horse. If you stand on the ground, you can guarantee a hit in sixty steps."

"good!"

Zhao Surui first hung the riding whip on his waist, then directly picked up the bow and quiver hanging on the wall and strode to the corridor of the door, throwing the bow and arrows into Tunan's arms.

"You will stand on the wall in a moment. If anyone dares to attack the door, you will shoot down the leader!"

"Yes, girl."

"You little maids, don't be idle. Go find wooden sticks, torches, etc., and go to other small gates to guard them, in groups of three or five. If you see anyone who dares to break in, scream immediately. I know your strength.

Xiao, even hitting and kicking, go to the base of the man's legs, do you understand? Ah Chi, you lead them, and then move all the weak people in the village to the main courtyard."

"Yes, girl!"

After giving the instructions, Zhao Surui, who was standing in the corridor, tightened his cloak tightly. Then, he picked up the umbrella that had been placed on the corridor by the little maid before and strode out.

Outside Zhuangzi, Shao Zhiqing was confronting others with his servants and the young men among the tenants.

The leader among the visitors was wearing an ocher silk robe and looked at Shao Zhiqing with a very mean look:

"My master is Hou Chenghou. The Marquis is the elder brother of the Queen Mother and the rightful uncle of the country. The prince's son also holds an important position in the Imperial Guard and is highly valued by the emperor. How dare you, the tenants of Ning'an Bo Mansion, invade the fields of our Hou Mansion?

I am really afraid that your uncle who is in prison will be able to get out safely."

Shao Zhiqing is a man of few words, but he is very clear-minded in his heart. No matter what Mrs. Shen does, this village is the property of Ning Anbo's house. Ning Anbo was imprisoned by His Majesty the Emperor himself and has not been released yet. The rest of the uncle's family

They are all incompetent dandies. If in the past, Ning'an Mansion was like an aging tree, then the current situation is that this tree has been uprooted, and it is difficult for people to see that it is completely rotten inside.

The foundation of salvation.

You must know that the old lady of Ning'an House is the county head who was born in the Prince of Ying's House. Before, he found out that the crown prince of Prince Ying's House was going to Beijing, and he also thought about whether the Prince's House of Ning'an could be saved. Unexpectedly, His Majesty even asked the crown prince's son

They all fell together.

When he was inquiring about the news in Yanjing City, he heard that people were saying that the Prince of Yingjun was angered by His Majesty because of Ning'an House.

This makes it more and more certain that Ning'an's residence will never be able to turn around again.

If you really want to say it, Shouchenghou Mansion is just a relative, and even Shao Zhiqing's so-called "important position as a royal guard" until Shouchenghou Crown Prince is just a false position. This manager-looking person can't scare him even if he talks about it. Speaking of Shouchenghou,

The brothers of the two Queen Mothers, Baoping Hou, are just a pair of old dudes relying on the Queen Mother's protection.

But the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and they are the emperor's biological uncles. If nothing unexpected happens, the entire Shouchenghou Mansion can continue for several decades. Compared with the declining Ning'an Mansion, it can be said to be prosperous.

In this case, it is not surprising that the people in Shouchenghou's house are so arrogant and domineering. On the surface, their land was occupied by their tenants, but in fact it was the steward who brought people to seize their land in Zhuangzi today.

Even though the other party only brought sixty or seventy people, Shao Zhiqing knew very well that as soon as he made a move, more than a hundred people would come out from the other side, catching them off guard.

Looking at the other party's arrogant face, Shao Zhiqing tightened his grip, moved his shoulders slightly, and quietly tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.

"What? You still want to take action? Come on! Am I afraid of you?"

The steward looked at Shao Zhiqing's actions and sneered.

There was a "pop" sound.

The steward, who was extremely arrogant just a moment ago, screamed and was hit to the ground by a stone.

Shao Zhiqing quickly looked back in the direction where the stone was thrown, and saw a woman wearing a blue cloak and a plain hairpin standing on the wall of the courtyard.

"Although I have never seen someone begging for a beating like this before, since you asked me for it, of course I will beat you as much as you can."

It’s Miss Shen!

Under Shao Zhiqing's surprised eyes, weighing another stone in his hand, Zhao Surui waved his arm with a smile on his face and hit a strong man opposite him:
Chapter completed!
