"Eldest sister, isn't our backyard planted with the seeds that grandpa is looking for? It's been growing for years! At this time, a little boy of four or five years old standing next to Kuang Liu'er opened his innocent eyes and said, he looked at Kuang Liu'er suspiciously, not understanding why his sister was lying.

Kuang Liu'er blushed, glared at her mouthy brother slightly, and looked at Lin Shuran embarrassedly and explained: "That thing is poisonous, and it can't be eaten, only the seedlings and ducks that grow out of it will eat some." ”

Lin Shuran suddenly became curious, and said with a smile to Kuang Liu'er: "Girl, can you take me to see this thing?" ”

Kuang Liu'er couldn't refuse, but she still told Lin Shuran in advance that this thing was brought back by her grandfather for the first time with Pei Shao's caravan to go to sea to hunt for treasures, and at that time at sea, everyone was running out of food, and the people in those caravans wanted to eat the basket of things that their grandfather found, Grandpa said that he didn't know if he could eat this thing, he just thought it was rare and brought some back, but the people in the caravan didn't listen, so they cooked it and ate it, and two people died as a result.

At that time, her grandfather stole a few, and buried them in the backyard when he went home, and he didn't care about it all these years, it sprouted and grew by itself, and the seedlings and leaves that grew out of it sometimes ate some of the chickens and ducks raised at home, because this thing was poisonous, so the Kuang family didn't eat it.

Lin Shuran followed Kuang Liu'er to the backyard, and when she saw that what Kuang Liu'er said turned out to be potato seedlings, she was also overjoyed.

"Girl, can you bring me a hoe?" Lin Shuran squatted in front of the ripe potatoes, Kuang Liu'er didn't understand what he meant, but still took a hoe to her, Lin Shuran broke the ground with a hoe, and saw a few egg-sized potatoes in two or three clicks.

Although the fruit is not much and small, but it is indeed a potato, and it is a yellow-hearted potato, I really didn't expect to see it in this time and space, no one carefully managed, and it is not easy for this potato to survive to this day.

"Miss Kuang, I'm willing to spend money to buy these things, you can make a price!" Lin Shuran took a look, there were not many potato seedlings in the backyard of Kuang's house, there were only about a dozen in total, and the leaves were pecked by chickens.

Kuang Liu'er was startled, these things are no different from grass at best, and they all said that they are poisonous to this person, why does he still spend money to buy them?

"This son, if you want, just dig some and bring it back, don't need money!" Kuang Liu'er is also a kind-hearted girl, her father has already cheated people for thirty taels of silver, and she can't do such a bad thing anymore, "It's just that these things can't be eaten, they are poisonous, and if you eat them, you will die!" ”

For Kuang Liu'er's kind reminder, Lin Shuran just smiled faintly, sprouted potatoes are poisonous, potatoes like this are delicious, maybe those people at sea ate sprouted potatoes at the beginning, they don't understand the eating habits of potatoes, so they naturally can't tell whether they can eat or not, and they understand this.

"Thank you girl for reminding me, I want all of these, how about I give you twenty taels?" Lin Shuran opened her mouth first and said the price, and the price she and Kuang Bao said at the beginning was fifty taels.

Kuang Liu'er didn't expect Lin Shuran to give her twenty taels when she opened her mouth, she wanted to refuse, but she remembered her seriously ill mother and her younger brothers and sisters who had nothing to eat, so she bit her lower lip hard, and said with a crying voice: "Thank you for your kindness, I'll dig these out for you!" ”

After a while, Kuang Liu'er and her younger siblings dug up all the potatoes and put them into a sack as Lin Shuran said.

At this moment, a carriage stopped at the door of Kuang's house, and when Lin Shuran came out, he saw Honggu standing next to the carriage covered by a black hat, and he didn't know when she was looking for the carriage, which saved a lot of trouble.

Lin Shuran asked Honggu to help carry the low jar and potatoes to the carriage, and then she took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to Kuang Liu'er, and said to her: "It's best not to let your father know about this silver, lest he go out to gamble again, hurry up and ask your mother to have a doctor." ”

Kuang Liu'er nodded gratefully at Lin Shuran, with these twenty taels of silver, their family's difficulties can be temporarily over.

Lin Shuran asked Honggu to drive the carriage to the southern suburbs of the Grange, and when she arrived at the Grange, she instructed Zhang Tang to prepare a room for her alone, and then asked Honggu to move the low tank first, and then she found clean paper and sorted out all the seeds in the tank, which contained corn seeds, cotton seeds, watermelon seeds, green pepper seeds, tomato seeds, and seeds of some flowers and fruits.

After dividing the seeds, she called Zhang Tang over and asked him to set aside the best piece of fertile land in the grange for her, and she wanted to plant all these seeds in this fertile field.

Although Zhang Tang didn't understand why Lin Shuran made such a decision, he had always been obedient to Lin Shuran's words, so the fertile land that was originally planned to plant winter wheat after the autumn harvest was empty.

Lin Shuran instructed Zhang Tang to take care of her seeds, and then changed clothes with Honggu and went back to the General's Mansion, and she went out to harvest a lot this day, and she gradually had some ideas in her heart, hoping that the plan in her heart could be implemented smoothly.

Just returned to the General's Mansion, thinking that Xu Minghan was still missing, and I didn't know if Xu Junze had found him now, Lin Shuran's mood became depressed again.

Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was August, the autumn season, Lin Shuran was looking forward to the return of Xu Junze and Xu Minghan, although Xu Junze had someone send a message home, saying that he had found Xu Minghan in Yunzhou, but it had been more than ten days since he received the news, but she didn't see the father and son return home, but she was even more worried.

"Everyone has been found, what are you worried about, the emperor has just given the Marquis of Wu'an and the lord of Xiqing a holy decree of marriage, and at the same time, he has also given the prince of Yuanhou and the lord of Kerou a holy decree of marriage, so there is no need for the two families to fight!" Lei Yingying and Lin Shuran sat in the back garden of the General's Mansion drinking tea and enjoying the flowers, talking about the important news she had just learned.

In August, the osmanthus is fragrant, the begonias are gorgeous, the lotus flowers stand on the branches, the moon season is colorful and colorful, the back garden of the general's mansion has been taken care of by Lin Shuran for nearly a year, and now the scenery is pleasant, which makes people forget to return.

"The marriage of the county lord of Xiqing has finally been decided, and the princess of Qing can also feel at ease, the reputation of the Marquis of Wu'an is not bad, and the county lord should not be too wronged when he marries in the past." Lin Shuran picked up the teacup in front of her, and the faint fragrance of jasmine tea wafted out, this is the jasmine tea that Xu Junze specially brought back from Yunzhou when she asked people to send news.

"I hope so!" Lei Yingying sighed, then winked at Lin Shuran playfully, and said mysteriously, "But why do I seem to have heard that the prince of Dingyuan wants a husband and three wives this time, and three joys are coming!" ”
