After a night of precipitation, Yan Yan rested the idea of going to the palace to find the emperor, mainly because she wanted to wait for two more days to see what this Zhou Lu would do.

If he was really her companion, he would definitely come to her to recognize her or come to test her, wouldn't it hurt him if she sent him to the emperor?

Taking a step back, even if it wasn't her colleague, she couldn't rashly conclude that he must be a spy, and if Yan Yan couldn't afford this crime if he recklessly disregarded his life.

Therefore, Yan Yan wanted to see the other party's next itinerary before deciding.

However, for the sake of insurance, Yan Yan arranged for Qingbei to go to the cake shop to replace Qingyu, she guessed that after Zhou Lu knew her identity, he would definitely go to the cake shop to go around, and at the same time, Yan Yan also ordered someone to find Qingbi back and told her a few words.

Next, Yan Yan waited and watched the changes.

On the first day, Yan Yan received the news that Zhou Lu was still going to Mingyuan Restaurant for breakfast, this time, he took the initiative to ask Shi Changsheng about Yan Yan, who invented these new dishes in the restaurant, why the owner of this shop is known as the first talented woman in the capital, what other industries are there, what is her biggest strength, and so on.

Most of these questions were answered by Shi Changsheng's refusal to say that people should not discuss the rights and wrongs of the master at will, but Shi Changsheng told the other party that Yan Yan also has an embroidery village, a cake shop, and a silk village under his name.

Zhou Lu didn't get the information he wanted, but he didn't get angry, he still sat in the previous position and ordered a few dishes, after the meal, Zhou Lu went to the bookstore, and when he came out of the bookstore, he went to wander around the street, entered a few silk and satin villages, embroidery villages and grocery stores, and the two attendants carried out a few paper bags.

When passing by Yan Yan's embroidery village, he hesitated at the door, looked at the plaque for a while before entering, and after entering, he took a serious look at those embroideries, and finally bought a few small pieces, purse sachet slippers or something, which was designed by Yan Yan himself, Zhou Lu also asked Qingbi, who designed these patterns, and why they are different from others.

Qingbi didn't tell the truth, only told him that he asked someone to draw the embroidery sample, and as for who this person was, Qingbi said that she didn't know.

Coming out of Xiuzhuang, Zhou Lu went back to the inn, and he didn't come out at dinner, so it should be dinner at the inn.

The next day, Yan Yan's people saw that he was taking people out of the city and didn't follow, but Zhou Lu ate dinner at Mingyuan Restaurant that day, and didn't ask Shi Changsheng anything more.

On the third day, this morning, Zhou Lu first went to Yan Yan's cake shop to buy two boxes of cakes, before buying, he tasted a few samples, and then asked Qing Glaze a few questions, such as who the master was, where he was invited, whether there were branches elsewhere, etc., Qing Glaze told the truth, saying that it was Yan Yan who found the recipe from the book, and took a few of them to practice for more than a month to find out the recipe, and now they are still developing new products while doing it, and also told the other party that they have plans to open a branch, but there are not enough people, etc.

Zhou Lu didn't ask anything else, came out with a cake, and then went to visit the eldest princess of Jinyang, that is, Li Cong's aunt's house, and stayed in the mansion for dinner.

Zhou Lu's move made Yan Yan overthrow his identity as the prince of another country, there is no reason why the prince of another country will not visit the emperor first but visit the eldest princess first, and there is no reason why a spy dares to swagger into the eldest princess's mansion.

And Zhou Lu singled out the eldest princess of Jinyang to visit, presumably related to the fiefdom of the eldest princess of Jinyang, which is near Bingzhou.

Of course, this is just a guess.

Three days later, Yan Yan withdrew the people who were secretly following Zhou Lu, and prepared to concentrate on the autumn harvest, the cotton in the back garden was spit out one after another, and the leaves of the yams were also yellow, and they were almost ready to be harvested.

To Yan Yan's surprise, on the day of the potato harvest, Li Cong specially brought the officials of the Si Agricultural Division to the door, accompanied by Li Sui, Li Zhen, and Li Sui.

For this reason, Li Cong personally took the hoe to dig the first yamato, this time the yam was much bigger than the one Yan Yan had tasted for them more than a month ago, the largest yam could weigh more than a catty, in order to get it out of the soil completely, Li Cong gave up the hoe and pulled it directly.

Holding the fruits of his labor, Li Cong's face had a rare ease and joy, "Yes, such a big piece weighs more than a pound, enough for one person to satisfy hunger." ”

"Your Majesty, it's better for the women to let people cook these potatoes for everyone to taste, this is the emperor himself dug them out to reward everyone." Yan Yan said.

Li Cong shook his head, "No, I will take it to the court tomorrow, I have to let them all see, our Yan'er is the first person to successfully transplant the yasam, and it is a great achievement." I also had to order someone to make a note of it for you. ”

"This is natural, Miss Yan is a great favor to the court." The officials on the side hurriedly chimed in.

Li Cong glanced at him, did not answer his words, but handed the yakam in his hand to the eunuch on the side, patted the soil on his hand, and then said: "It's a pity, we still lack a few people like Yan'er who are willing to care about the well-being of the people." Let's go, Yan'er, take me to see the cotton you mentioned. ”

"Your Majesty, the people's women are just coincidental, and they don't deserve such a great honor." In the final analysis, Yan Yan still led Li Cong to the cotton field and personally demonstrated the picking of cotton.

Li Cong also picked two spit cotton under the guidance of Yan Yan, and after separating the cotton from the cottonseed, he asked about the retention of the cottonseed, and this Yan Yan knew that the cottonseed could be directly left for planting, but it was necessary to choose those that were not pested.

"Come, you can also see, this thing can be used to make winter jackets and quilts, our Yan'er, we have made a great contribution to me." Li Cong handed the cotton in his hand to the nearest official, who read it and passed it on to the next official.

Immediately afterwards, these officials echoed Li Cong's words and praised Yan Yan, Yan Yan smiled, and asked Li Cong to drink tea, and she had something else to ask him.

And Li Cong also had something to say to Yan Yan, so he ordered Li Sui to take those officials to the ground, and he followed Yan Yan into the pavilion.

Yan Yan personally served Li Cong tea and fruit snacks, and without waiting for Yan Yan to speak, Li Cong first asked her about Lu You's going to the rally that day.

In his opinion, which of these children of the family is not above the top, it is not normal for Lu You to participate in this kind of gathering, not to mention, Lu You and Lu Ming, the two brothers, have always been incompatible, plus Yan Yan's old hatred for Lu Ming, so he is really curious who came up with this idea and why Yan Yan agreed.
