Chapter 127: Rumors
After the corn was planted, Wang Lei and several old farmers carefully cared for, observed and recorded, and even Qin Guangyu was not allowed to visit. When Xiao Yu was idle, he locked himself in the room and flipped through the codex left by his mother Su Ying, hoping to find a way to restore his sight.
The next day, Xiao Yu was studying hard in the house, and the door tuk tuk sounded, and then Banxia's voice came: "The girl is coming out, the corn has sprouted!" ”
Xiao Yu agreed without raising his head, then reacted and stopped writing: "So fast? ”
Banxia said outside: "Isn't it! ”
It's not been two days, and the corn has actually sprouted, Xiao Yu opened the door without hesitation and walked towards the seedling room.
Wang Lei and several old farmers, as well as Xiao Yucheng, Hao Jun and others were all there, jubilant.
Xiao Yu looked over and saw that those earthen bowls really sprouted tender green buds, and he was very surprised.
The crowd was talking in high spirits.
Wang Lei almost cried with joy, and said excitedly: "God bless me Daqi, this thing is really a fairy treasure, and it grows so fast in the autumn and winter, if it can be promoted, that is, there will be no hunger in the four seas!" ”
Xiao Yu was a little stunned for a while, because she remembered her previous life, she was also in awe of the gods. It's just that this corn was so ordinary in her previous life, so she never thought it would have anything to do with the immortals.
Now hearing Wang Lei's words, Xiao Yu remembered that her grandmother had told a myth in her previous life, saying that rice in ancient times did not need to be harvested, and it would fly back to the barn when it was ripe. Back then, it was just a joke about the story, but the vicissitudes of time, there are many things that can't be guessed with common sense, who can be sure that this thing is not true in the ancient times?
Even in previous lives, there were many mysteries that could not be solved.
Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yu felt that it was not impossible to say that corn was originally an immortal product, and it did grow fast enough.
After only a few days, the seedlings had grown two or three inches.
At first, Xiao Yu thought that it was not necessarily strange that this corn grew in two days, but after a few days, its growth was a little amazing.
If this continues, this corn should be able to grow several crops a year! If it is indeed as productive as the ancient books record, then the granary of the world is overflowing, and the days can be counted.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and then excited.
And after a few days, Xiao Yu has been indifferent, if the corn is really a fairy thing, this growth is really not worth mentioning compared to the rice itself into the warehouse.
After Ling Yi came to see it, he was very pleased, and strictly ordered everyone not to leak this matter for the time being, and he and Wang Lei quickly prepared a performance, telling Emperor Qi about this situation, and vaguely mentioned that Li Zhang had been here. The corn has not grown yet.
Soon, Emperor Qi issued an edict that corn was a matter of national importance, and it was handed over to Ling Yi, the general of Zhennan, for full management.
In this way, the Xiao family can righteously refuse those idle people who come to inquire.
Ling Yi and Hua Xuan go to Niujiao Village every few days to check the growth of corn and discuss its field management with several people to estimate the yield.
How many people want to cling to the General's Mansion but can't find a way, but the Xiao family has such a close relationship with Ling Yi that they envy everyone for a while.
So there were rumors that the two girls of the Xiao family flew up to the high branches and were about to enter the general's mansion.
was so angry that Xiao Pei couldn't eat.
Recently, because of the matter of planting corn, Ling Yi has been walking very diligently to Xiao's house, and he often talks with Xiao Yu for most of the hour.
Its content is not limited to corn and other immortals, many times it will mention hemostatic dispersion and clairvoyance, and then the topic is boundless.
Moreover, Ling Yi's demeanor is dignified, his manners are decent, his words are fascinating, and his laughter and conversation make people feel like a spring breeze, and he is like two people when he is riding a horse and holding a sword. And Xiao Yu knew a lot of novelties, and his knowledge was different from ordinary people, which also made Ling Yi very interested, so the two talked about it.
It is said that the deed, time flies by in a hurry.
In the eyes of those who care about it, this scene will inevitably cause gossip, and it will soon reach Xiao Yu's ears. She was shocked to realize that it was really inappropriate to get too close to Ling Yi, so when Ling Yi came again, she deliberately avoided it, and even at home, she was locked in the house to read and practice calligraphy.
It's just that Xiao Yu didn't expect that doing so would be overkill and counterproductive. She was disdainful of the rumors with Hua Yue before, but now she suddenly wanted to avoid suspicion, which suddenly made Xiao Pei and others suspicious.
Especially Xiao Pei, she felt that Xiao Yu was so deliberately covering up and wanting to cover up, but she forgot her previous suspicions, and began to worry about this new rumor.
After all, Ling Weihan and Ling Yan were also very close to Xiao Yu.
On this day, Xiao Pei chatted with Xiao Yu and said tentatively: "Ah Yu, General Ling came over the day before yesterday, why did you avoid it?" ”
Xiao Yu immediately guessed what Xiao Pei was thinking, and said: "The general is here to see the growth of corn, and since Wang Zhushu and Yucheng and others are here, I won't gossip." ”
Xiao Pei saw that Xiao Yu's expression was calm, not like pretending, his heart was a little calm, and he said with a smile: "The others are trying their best to squeeze General Ling's side, but you dodge." ”
"I also learned from Sister A, you can hide faster than me." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"If that's the case, I'll have to worry about you." Xiao Pei smiled slightly, and tapped her fingers on Xiao Yu's smooth forehead, "You little girl, haven't you always advocated for yourself?" ”
Xiao Yu pursed her lips and smiled: "With Sister in charge, of course I am happy to relax." My identity is very different from General Ling, so it's better to follow the rules. ”
This is the truth, no matter how good Ling Yi is, Xiao Yu never thought that he would be Ling Weihan's stepmother.
In the afternoon, Changle Villa sent a post, it turned out that today was Zhong Lang's birthday, Ling Yi and others had already arrived, and there was a night banquet in the evening, so as to invite Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei to go.
As for Xiao Yucheng, he wants to guard the corn and can't get out.
Upon learning of this, Xiao Yu immediately went to the cellar to select the best wine, and Xiao Pei opened the warehouse to select congratulatory gifts.
When he arrived at Changle Villa, it was not surprising that Xiao Yu saw Ling Yan in the inner courtyard. Today she came in full costume, standing among the flowers and trees, bright and beautiful, and accompanied by heavy snow and light snow.
The two maids stepped forward with a smile and saluted.
Ling Yan pulled Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei and said, "Come so late, I'll have to pay a few more drinks later." ”
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "I admit punishment, but Sister Ah has always been drunk when she gets drunk, can Miss Ling raise her noble hand and spare her?" ”
Ling Yan smiled and said: "That's not possible, if you feel distressed, you have to drink it for her." ”
Xiao Yuqi said: "Listening to your words, it seems like you want to get me drunk?" ”
Next to him, Daxue and Xiaoxue pursed their lips and smiled.
"Since you are good at making fine wine, you think it is difficult to get drunk with a thousand glasses, why are you afraid of a few glasses? I drank with you in the past, but I never saw you drunk. Ling Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "That's because I have moderation, okay?" (To be continued.) )
