To Yan Yan's surprise, Mrs. Chen did not sit in the first position in the east, but sat down next to Chen Chen.

Yan Yan glanced at her, flashing a trace of suspicion, but didn't ask anything, but turned around and accompanied the eldest princess to talk about several ways to eat lotus root noodles.

The old lady was very face-saving, and immediately asked Qing Glaze to make a few bowls to taste, and while waiting, the old lady looked at Yan Yan and asked: "They all say that you are a very smart person, today I want to test you, do you know why I called you?" ”

"Back to the eldest princess, please forgive the younger generation for being stupid, and ask the eldest princess to teach me." Yan Yan replied.

After all, Zhou Lu was just a guess on her part, and besides, if she admitted that she knew that the other party was because Zhou Lu called her to come to the mansion to talk about it, and she came in a hurry, wouldn't it give the other party an illusion, thinking that she wanted to see Zhou Lu very much, or that she was very interested in Zhou Lu?

Spread out, what has become of her?

"I can't say it, it's just a few small talks, I heard that you gave the seal this time because of what kind of sweet potato and cotton, I've always been curious, how can you be a good lady of the boudoir to be interested in farming?" The old lady asked casually.

"Back to the eldest princess, there are two reasons, one is that I went to the field with my masters to plant vegetables when I was practicing in Jinglian Nunnery in the old years, and I know how difficult it is to grow crops, and another reason is that the emperor mentioned to me that the grain yield is low, and many people are still hungry. The eldest princess must also know that the emperor has the grace of reinvention for me, and I want to repay him for this kindness and share his worries. So, I found some agricultural books to read, hoping to see if there was anything worth learning from them. ”

Yan Yan already knew about the controversy in the court, so he knew how to answer those questions from the outside world.

"Or is Sister Yan'er amazing, and the agricultural book can also be read?" Chen Chen interjected.

"Actually, the agricultural book is very interesting, after reading it, I realized that everything in the world has its natural laws, and we can only make small changes within the scope of its laws, if it is beyond the scope of this law, all efforts are in vain. This is like being a man, being a man also requires paying attention to rules and etiquette, if it jumps out of the scope of our daily identification, it will give people a laughing stock, and in serious cases, it may be punished by God. Yan Yan nodded secretly.

Chen Chen didn't understand Yan Yan's hint, but the eldest princess of Jinyang and Mrs. Chen obviously understood, the two glanced at each other, Jin Yang stretched his face and retorted: "Any rules and etiquette are set by people, people are alive, and rules and etiquette are naturally alive, in other words, there are exceptions to everything, just like yourself, if you talk about your background, how can you be given the title of county lord?" But the emperor not only sealed it, but also because you were pregnant, he specially exempted you from bowing down, you say, is this a special case? ”

Yan Yan was speechless when he said this, and this is the case.

"It's the younger generation who is stupid, thank you for the eldest princess." Yan Yan stubbornly admitted his mistake.

Seeing that Yan Yan admitted her mistake, the old lady didn't embarrass her very much, but she was not interested in talking to Yan Yan anymore.

"It's good to know what you're wrong. Well, I'm not going to go around in circles with you, let's put it this way, some people are interested in what kind of sweet potatoes and cotton you grow, and want to ask for a little seed and planting method, how much can you evenly? ”

The reason why Jinyang is so big is that firstly, it is her emperor's aunt, and even the emperor and the queen mother are polite to her, and secondly, she looks down on Yan Yan's background very much, not because she dislikes the Yan family, but because she dislikes her hard life, her father and mother, and she has not succeeded in a good family business, so she will think of doing something sensationalism to attract everyone's attention. It was not without remarks about Li Cong, so that he was angry with Yan Yan.

That's why she deliberately brought her to Yan Yanyue when she knew that she was so old, and directly put forward her own request.

There is another reason, in her opinion, asking for seeds is just a trivial matter, isn't Yan Yan's seed just asking for those missionaries? Since Yan Yan can ask others for it, why can't others ask her for it?

Although the old lady didn't say who wanted this kind of child, Yan Yan also guessed that most of the people behind the scenes were Zhou Lu, but before confirming Zhou Lu's identity, she didn't want to give up the fruits of her labor.

Therefore, after a little consideration, Yan Yan replied again: "Back to the eldest princess, there are very few seeds of yams and cotton, and there are some in the hands of the younger generations, but because this year is the first trial planting, although there is a little harvest, I dare not say that the planting has been successful, and it depends on whether the seeds left this year can sprout next year." Therefore, please rest assured that the eldest princess will wait for next year, if it is determined that the younger generation's way of retaining seeds is correct, the younger generation will definitely send a little seed to the house, and those who don't dare to ask for it dare not be, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the emperor can't wait for more people to participate. ”

"That's right." The old lady obviously didn't expect this request to be rejected, and she was a little annoyed immediately, but Yan Yan's reason was very legitimate, and her words were very respectful, and she didn't have a good seizure for a while, so she glanced at her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Chen received the signal, leaned forward, and said to Yan Yan with a smile: "Back to the lord of Baihui, in fact, we were also entrusted to find you, the other party is one of our world friends, he is interested in several businesses under your name, and wants to cooperate with you, but the other party is a man, and it is inconvenient to come to see you, so he entrusted this matter to us, I don't know if the lord of Baihui is interested in doing business to the north?" ”

"Chen'er and her mother, you are also an anxious child, how can you even ask someone if you are interested in cooperating without clarifying the object of cooperation?" The old lady mentioned her daughter-in-law, because she could see that Yan Yan's scheming was too deep and it was not easy to fool, if she didn't show some sincerity, this matter would be ruined.

"Look at me, I'm really confused, back to the county lord of Baihui, this person is the Zhou family in Bingzhou, the Zhou family has been in business for generations, and this Zhou Gongzi is a rare all-rounder, doing business and studying at the same time. By the way, he had a relationship with the county horse, saying that they had a good conversation, originally he wanted to wait for the county horse to return to the city before visiting the door, but because of the temporary emergency at home to rush back, he had to ask for our house. Mrs. Chen hurriedly explained.

As soon as Yan Yan heard that the other party was in a hurry to go back, he became suspicious again, didn't he say that he was a scholar and wanted to take this opportunity to come out for a tour, why did he have to go back in just a few days?

Also, was he so anxious to ask for cotton and yam seeds for profit or was there some other intention?
