On the last day of August, the weather finally turned sunny.
The sun is bright and active in the morning, as if it wants to dry out all the rain and humidity in the past few days!
Such a sunny day made the people breathe a long sigh of relief.
The autumn harvest is about to begin. If it rains continuously and heavily at this time, the crops they have worked hard for for most of the year will rot in the ground.
Now that the weather has cleared up, people near the capital are already discussing the harvest in the past few days.
As soon as the weather is good, hurry up and close it!
In early September, the crops are ripe. If you miss it at the right time, you will be in trouble if it rains heavily.
Xiao Nianzhi got up early and practiced Tai Chi for a while with Xiao Zhou and the others.
After breakfast, I directed Aunt Qin to make tofu.
No one in the family knew how to make tofu, so Xiao Nianzhi generously shared the method of making tofu.
Aunt Qin and the others were so grateful that Xiao Nianzhi was a little embarrassed.
In addition to tofu, Xiao Nianzhi also taught them how to make maltose.
Because malt needs time to wait, it is easy to operate after germination.
Xiao Nianzhi just took a day off and really didn't have time to do it for them.
I simply shared the method with them. After Aunt Qin and the others thanked her again, everyone got busy.
Xiao Siye went to the palace early in the morning to ask for the order and came back at noon.
Although His Majesty is busy, he has not forgotten Xiao Nianzhi's demands, so he has agreed to go out to purify alcohol.
In the afternoon, Mr. Zhang next door took Zhang Hanshan to the house to apologize.
The reason is naturally because Zhang Hanshan came uninvited and shamelessly asked for food.
Xiao Siye actually doesn't care. The two families get along well on a daily basis and have a harmonious relationship. There is no need to worry about some insignificant details.
Moreover, Xiao Siye had asked Xiao Nianzhi about this matter before, and the little girl didn't care much about it, so there was no need for him to care.
Zhang Hanshan is still a little embarrassed to see Xiao Nianzhi now, but what happened before was indeed that he was reckless.
At that time, he was beaten and turned around, and Xiao Siye and the others returned to the academy.
Therefore, Mr. Zhang never had the opportunity to bring anyone to the door to apologize.
Now that we finally met, we can’t bring anyone to the door.
Knowing that Xiao Nianzhi didn't care, Xiao Siye took the matter over with a smile.
Zhang Hanshan has always wanted to find an opportunity to explain to Xiao Nianzhi alone.
However, he never found the opportunity. He also wondered how it was possible for him and Xiao Nianzhi to be alone with each other since the two elders were still there.
Even if I want young people to play together, I will definitely bring Xiao Zhou and Xiao Qing with me.
Zhang Hanshan looked at Xiao Nianzhi several times, but he hesitated to speak.
Xiao Nianzhi saw it, but didn't quite understand what the other party meant. He always smiled and smiled.
Zhang Hanshan:.
Sister Xiao looked at me, I really didn’t mean it.
Woohoo!
I can’t explain it clearly.
From now on, in Xiao Nianzhi's eyes, he won't be just a dandy who behaves in a bad way, right?
It was useless for Zhang Hanshan to worry. Mr. Zhang apologized and chatted with Xiao Siye for a long time before taking him back.
He wanted to find an opportunity to come and apologize again, but in the afternoon, the palace sent someone over to assist Xiao Nianzhi in purifying the alcohol.
Xiao Zhou was worried and sent Xiao Nianzhi all the way to Zhuangzi. After observing for a long time, he returned to his house with peace of mind.
When Zhang Hanshan finally found the opportunity to visit, Xiao Nianzhi was no longer at home.
The wine I made previously has been fermented for a month, and now I need to check whether it is suitable for distillation and purification.
When Xiao Nianzhi came over, Zhuangzi's steward was already waiting there.
The palace sent two palace officials, as well as two low-level officials from Shanglinyuan Prison.
Xiao Nianzhi took them to extract the wine first, and then started to install the distillation equipment.
With royal support, tools and the like, Xiao Nianzhi definitely doesn’t need to worry about it.
While he was busy, Yan Xingxuan came over.
This time, he didn't come alone, he brought an unfamiliar girl with him.
The girl looked to be about the same age as Xiao Nianzhi, taller than Xiao Nianzhi, with heroic features and sharp eyes. The first impression she gave people was: I am not easy to mess with!
Seeing these two people coming, Xiao Nianzhi looked behind them.
Yan Changxia didn't follow this time, but this strange girl is...
Xiao Nianzhi was a little confused, but didn't ask any more questions for the time being.
After Yan Xingxuan came over, he strode to Xiao Nianzhi: "Think about it, has it already started? How can I help?"
Hearing him ask this, Xiao Nianzhi shook his head: "We don't need it for the time being, we still have enough manpower."
The palace has sent people over, and Zhuangzi also has manpower here. Xiao Nianzhi now doesn't need to do anything except for necessary technical guidance, and naturally he doesn't need Yan Xingxuan's help.
Knowing that no one was needed here for the time being, Yan Xingxuan realized belatedly that he was not alone this time.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and nodded towards Wei Zhiqiu, beckoning him to come over.
Wei Zhiqiu was originally observing this Zhuangzi and these equipments.
Seeing my uncle nodding, he quickly walked over.
When walking, I carry a bit of the heroic spirit of a child of the world.
An idea flashed in Xiao Nianzhi's mind, and he had some guesses about the identity of this girl.
After Wei Zhiqiu strode over, he stood still and his curious eyes fell on Xiao Nianzhi, but he didn't stay for a long time, glanced at it twice, and then politely took it back.
After Yan Xingxuan stood up, he introduced Xiao Nianzhi: "Think about it, this is the imperial sister's daughter, Wei Zhiqiu, who is here to stay in the capital for a short time, and will probably follow us in the near future."
After hearing this, Wei Zhiqiu gave Yan Xingxuan a strange look.
She is just young, not stupid.
In this sentence, the distinction between you and me is so clear that she will not be able to hear it.
So, is this my uncle’s sweetheart?
Wei Zhiqiu thought uncertainly, but Yan Xingxuan had already introduced him. At this time, she had to take the initiative to say hello, otherwise it would appear too rude.
Wei Zhiqiu reacted and quickly raised his fist towards Xiao Nianzhi.
Because Yan Xingxuan hasn't introduced him yet, it's not easy for her to speak.
You don’t even know your identity, how can you say this?
Fortunately, Yan Xingxuan quickly introduced her: "Moon, this is Xiao Nianzhi, the Lord of Ning'an Township."
Wei Zhiqiu, who had already raised his hands and cupped his fists, raised his chin slightly after hearing this: "The moon has seen the Lord of Ning'an Township."
This is the daughter of the eldest princess. Just because she grew up in Jianghu, she doesn't have any status title for the time being. It doesn't mean that her status is lower than hers!
Xiao Nianzhi was startled by her opening her mouth, and she was busy saying, "Hello, Miss Wei."
Wei Zhiqiu actually didn't like the coquettish manners of these noble ladies in the capital, but because of Xiao Nianzhi's beauty, she felt that she couldn't bear it.
