Chapter 183 Pure Misunderstanding

She spoke and had already stood up from her seat.

At this moment, I saw that she was wearing an Ai green rolled grass patterned Xiang skirt. As she took a step forward, her skirt swayed like thin waves of water, and she walked directly to his side, pacing around him and looking at him up and down.

Wei Liang felt his hair stand on end.

When the other party stands in front of him, he dare not look up; When the other person stood behind him, his back stiffened like a stone pillar.

Jiang Xuening's previous acquaintance with Wei Liang was purely a misunderstanding.

At that time, Prince Shen Jie of Linzi had just ascended to the throne and took her on a trip to the city of Jingzhongfang. They met a group of deep eyed and high nosed merchants who were sailing from the sea, selling some strange and strange looking fruits on the street.

A lot of people gathered around to watch the excitement.

But there are very few things to buy with money.

She and Shen Jie were just watching the excitement next to each other. Unexpectedly, as they were about to leave, they saw a young scholar struggling to push through the crowd and coming to the merchants. They spoke up and said that they not only wanted to buy the fruits, but also the seeds of these fruits.

So they chattered incessantly, but the price was not agreed upon.

This writer's face turned red with anger, and he seemed very persistent about these fruits and seeds, standing on the street unwilling to walk.

After all, Zheng Bao had sharp eyes, remembered the person, and whispered to Shen Jie, "Isn't this the Wei Tanhua you ordered today?"

Shen Jie then took a serious look.

Jiang Xuening couldn't help but be surprised.

Shen Jie thought about it and asked Zheng Bao to help the eccentric flower scout out, pay the money, and finally have someone bring him over for a conversation.

Shen Jiegui, as the emperor, doesn't remember many people, but as a flower scout, even if she doesn't remember what Shen Jie looks like, she can recognize Zheng Bao standing in front of the steps when the Golden Palace was passed down that day. Therefore, she immediately came forward to bow.

Fortunately, Shen Jie stopped in time.

Then he asked him in great confusion what he wanted to do by buying this bunch of useless things.

Wei Liang broke out in a cold sweat on his head, only saying that he had a habit of not being able to stand on stage and was accustomed to studying things in the fields. He hoped Shen Jie wouldn't blame him.

Shen Jie glanced at the fruits he held in his arms and shook her head again and again.

I don't know if he thinks this flower scout is not doing his job or has any other thoughts, but there is no punishment at all. He only said, "It's understandable to have some leisure activities outside of the main business. Take it back and study it. At least I have paid for it. If you really want to study something in the future, remember to send it to the palace for filial piety. Although I don't like this, the empress is very greedy and may not necessarily love it."

Jiang Xuening stood behind him, feeling embarrassed and wanting to refute, but unable to speak, she could only swallow a sigh of frustration in her stomach.

Wei Liang managed to escape a disaster and breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Shen Jie and Jiang Xuening returned to the palace, and this matter came to an end. People in the palace fought against people, ghosts fought against ghosts, and soon she forgot about it completely.

But no one expected that in the summer of the following year, she would be teaching the few starlings to speak in the corridor outside the main hall of Kunning Palace when she saw several eunuchs carrying something brought in by the head of the internal affairs office.

At first glance, there were all strange shaped fruits.

There is also a spiky one that looks like a huge meteor hammer.

Upon asking, I found out that it was a compiler named Wei Liang from the Hanlin Academy who specially offered it. After asking the emperor, someone brought it to her.

Jiang Xuening couldn't recall what had happened before. As soon as the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, he and the palace maids studied these fruits for half a day.

Some are delicious, while others are not effective.

In the end, everyone's attention was focused on the prickly fruit. It was said that it was called a durian, and they had to open the outer shell to eat the meat inside. So they asked the eunuch to take a knife and finally open it.

Result

That smell almost suffocated everyone in the Kunning Palace, making Jiang Xuening unforgettable for life!

How could this thing be said to be edible?

She flew into a rage, thinking that this person surnamed Wei looked honest. It turned out that she was even more outrageous than those innocent old courtiers who opposed her in the court. This was a blatant opportunity to humiliate herself!

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

Wei Liang seemed oblivious to the trouble he had caused and even asked Jiang Xuening how those fruits were being eaten.

Jiang Xuening almost had someone pull him down and behead him.

But somehow, this was also the flower scout personally ordered by the emperor, but it was not her turn to openly take action, so she only smiled and told him that she really liked the things he gave. Since he was so concerned about fruits and vegetables, staying in the Hanlin Academy was a waste. Why not let him go and become a parent official with the people, teaching them how to farm? She can still help him talk to the emperor.

In theory, any government official with some brain in the court would be frightened and shiver with cold sweat upon hearing these words.

Because this statement itself is a clear threat.

Staying in the Hanlin Academy is like being a "prime minister", and in the future, most of them can stay in the capital to serve as officials. Sending someone to various provinces to serve as an official before they even finish their studies is not going well. It's a low ranking official and a difficult job.

Unexpectedly, after Wei Liang was taken aback, he was filled with joy. His eyebrows and eyes were lit up, and his face turned red. He stumbled and bowed, saying, "How dare you trouble Madam?"

At that time, Jiang Xuening really didn't understand what his reaction was.

She made a few sarcastic comments, both positive and negative, but Wei Liang didn't know if he was really confused or pretending to be confused. He thought she was praising him, and his smile became even more brilliant.

In the end, Jiang Xuening was completely confused. Seeing that he was not angry at all, she was so angry that she brushed away.

That night, he gave a brief report to Shen Jie.

How about Wei Liang? He is always trying to flatter himself and is not a good official. He might as well send it to a remote province to reflect on himself and be happy if he loves farming.

Shen Jie couldn't help but comfort her, coax her, and make her not angry.

At that time, Jiang Xuening wondered whether Shen Jie was still biased towards this annoying Tanhua.

The next day, I heard that when Shen Jie went to court, she immediately took Wei Liang out of the Hanlin Academy and threw him to Gaoyou as the county magistrate.

Now Jiang Xuening is happy.

Shen Jie didn't say anything, and when we had dinner together at night, she only looked at her and smiled, asking if this was a pleasant experience.

Jiang Xuening's tail lifted up to the sky.

She thought that with Wei Liang as a warning, she would become a county magistrate and live a miserable life. She expected that no one would dare to provoke her in the future.

However

Only a year has passed, when the Ministry of Revenue was sorting out the taxes of various provinces, it was shocked to find that the land tax and grain payment in Gaoyou County have doubled compared to last year!

For the first time, Jiang Xuening began to suspect that the heavens had deliberately manipulated her.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by the situation in Gaoyou County. Some suspected that he had increased the taxes on the people, while others suspected that there were hidden tricks involved. Shen Jie was naturally surprised and sent someone to investigate further.

The result of the investigation hit everyone's face.

People rely on hard skills. Since following the county master Wei Liang to farm, Gaoyou County has grown two acres of rice per acre of land, doubling its own grain first, which is why it has given the court extra grain.

Needless to say, the central government urgently summoned Wei Liang to enter the capital.

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

Jiang Xuening was extremely worried those two days.

It's not a good thing for me to think that Wei Liang has gained power. I'm thinking about how to deal with this person, but the eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside is carrying something with great enthusiasm.

It was full of three baskets of high-quality Gaoyou Salted duck egg.

The eunuch said that it was Wei Liang, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, who specially entrusted someone to show filial piety to her when she went to the capital this time, to pay special tribute to the Empress's recommendation in the past.

Jiang Xuening was simply confused.

It was difficult to distinguish whether this was mockery or mockery at the moment.

But in short, Wei Liang seemed to have never noticed her previous anger, shame, and malice. He simply engraved her "kindness" in his heart. Therefore, after jumping three levels to hold an important position in the Ministry of Revenue, he even said that the Empress was a rare good person, and others misunderstood her too deeply. And they often send some fresh fruits and melons to Beijing, so there was no need for the imperial kitchen to go out and buy them for a while.

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

She couldn't help but think——

Others really don't misunderstand our palace, Wei Liang, you have a deep misunderstanding of our palace!

But anyway, the pies that fell from the sky were not picked up, and besides, Wei Liang's mind was probably only focused on reading and farming, so he was not at all keen in the court struggle.

Others thought he was their confidant.

Jiang Xuening also had to rack her brains to mediate for the other party. However, if the other party offends recklessly or gets in someone else's way and is counted by others, she has to follow behind as a cow to do a good job of aftermath or protection.

Sometimes she wonders: who are the ancestors of this palace and Wei Liang?

In short, over time, this brainless person became completely devoted to her.

It doesn't matter whether there was a misunderstanding at the beginning.

===Kunning Section 230===

No matter how the court situation changes, such people are most favored by those in power and cannot be separated from by the people. So Jiang Xuening thought that even if she collapsed in the previous life, Wei Liang's ending should not be bad.

The worst thing is just returning home to farm.

Anyway, he likes it.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening stared at the other person and her mood became very complicated. After a while, she opened her lips and smiled as if pure and kind, saying, "Wei Gongzi, I'm asking you a question."

Wei Liang trembled and said, "Here, below..."

Jiang Xuening showed the patience of coaxing fools from the previous life and said, "Who told you that?"

Wei Liang wished he could dig a pit and bury himself: "Yes, I have this concern and no one has told me about it."

Jiang Xuening: "..."

Don't stop me, you want to beat this person up!

Her eyelids twitched several times, and she lifted her fingers to gently press down before barely holding onto a good face that was about to tear apart. She complimented him off guard, "Young Master Wei is such a thoughtful and thoughtful person."

Wei Liang didn't hear the meaning behind the words, thinking she was really praising.

Unexpectedly, he said sternly, "I don't dare to. I'm just trying to make ends meet for the people. If the grain is abundant and the country is in chaos, wouldn't it be more than worth the loss?"

"..."

Jiang Xuening took a deep breath.

"Then you can rest assured that even if the lard is deceived, I dare not associate with the Heavenly Sect. Wei Gongzi's worries are truly unfounded."

Wei Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, it's Wei who is worried too much. Since the young lady from the host family said so, Wei will believe it."

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

Only said, "This is the grain account for the current season that Wei withheld without permission. Please forgive me for my recklessness, Miss."

The ledger was previously tied to his arm, carrying a trace of warmth.

Jiang Xuening looked at him like a fool.

Wei Liang was puzzled and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

After a long time, Jiang Xuening said softly, "You come all the way and ask this question: believe whatever I say, don't even want any evidence?"

"Oh." Wei Liang seemed to have just realized, but to Jiang Xuening's surprise, he didn't ask her for further evidence. Instead, he smiled at her and bowed, saying, "To be honest, I don't think the girl is someone who can lie and deceive people. Although the tenants on the farm haven't seen the girl, she has never treated them unfairly and won't charge them heavy rent. When he came down, he was still in a dilemma. If a good person like the girl really works for the Heavenly Sect, I don't know how to choose. Now that you say you're not for the Heavenly Sect, I dare to believe it."

"..."

In his previous life, he was not killed by anyone, so he really relied on himself to take care of him from behind.

Jiang Xuening looked silently at the sky.

She decided to turn around and let a few more capable people go to Wei Liang's side, so that he wouldn't be beaten one day when he went out. After hearing this, she only asked, "Come on, come on too. What tea does Wei Young Master drink?"

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

Jiang Xuening thought about it and said, "But do you need to prepare for the Autumn Festival?"

Wei Liang hesitated for a moment, seeming to be reflecting on what "Qiuwei" was. Then he laughed and said, "Qiuwei doesn't matter. You can take any exams, but the rice has already been harvested. Wei must go back and think about whether he can plant some wheat in winter or try planting something called Ma Ling Potato. It grows very quickly, and..."

Jiang Xuening felt a genuine sense of weakness, feeling thousands of birds chirping in her ears. She felt dizzy and confused, unsure whether she was in Shu or Jiangning, and her feet were almost slipping.

After a while, Wei Liang finished speaking.

Then, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes, he asked Jiang Xuening, "What do you think, Miss Dong?"

Jiang Xuening regained her senses and dared not say she didn't understand anything. Thinking about the tricks she had used to deal with this person in her previous life, she curved her lips and smiled, trying to make herself look very surprised. She said, "I think it's great!"

Wei Liang immediately became excited and said, "Then I'll do it this way when I go back!"

After bowing and bowing, he said goodbye and left without any intention of stopping.

Lian'er Tang'er was blinded by the sight behind her.

Jiang Xuening's smile instantly pulled down and she only asked them, "What did he say he planted just now?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Okay, I didn't understand anything.

Plant whatever you love.

Jiang Xuening opened the ledger handed over by Wei Liang and only glanced at the few numbers recorded at the end. Her two slender eyebrows, like willow leaves, slowly furrowed: two years have passed, and the situation on the Tatar side should also show signs. In terms of doing business, although she is not as good as You Bancheng in the previous life, she does not need to bet on stability with her. She secretly assists Yan Lin alone, reducing the pressure by half. I just don't know if it's enough, and whether it's in time?
