Chapter 404: Wen County
Xin Yu said lightly, but He Qingxiao felt a hot current coming from the hand that was pulling him, penetrating the sleeves and pouring into his heart.
His heart burned, but he was even more at a loss.
He didn't dare to move, and he was reluctant to go.
Such a contradictory feeling that seemed to tear his reason apart made him feel a wild surge of sweetness in his heart.
Xin Yu took a step closer, stretched out his hands around the wood-like man, and said softly, "He Qingxiao, hug me." β
If she could really be light-hearted, she wouldn't have spoken to that man.
He Qingxiao tensed for a moment, and slowly reached out to hug Xin Yu.
The two hugged each other quietly for a moment, and he took the initiative to distance himself: "Ayu, I'm leaving." β
Xin Yu raised her lips: "Don't call me Miss Xin anymore?" β
He Qingxiao looked at her deeply: "I'll call you Ayu in the future." β
Hugging, kissing, they did everything that a husband and wife could do, and in his heart Ayu was already his wife. Ayu was so brave, how could he not even have the courage to call her name.
"I'll send you out." Xin Yu's cheeks were a little hot.
She escorted him through the courtyard planted with red and flint pomegranate trees, and stopped when she saw the back door of the bookstore lobby: "You are familiar with the bookstore, so I won't send it." β
"Ayu, see you the day after tomorrow."
He Qingxiao turned around and walked into the lobby of the bookstore.
Xin Yu stood in place and let the autumn wind blow the hem of her skirt before leaving.
After packing her luggage, Xin Yu watched Xiaolian busy going in and out, eager to pack all the fine and soft, and was a little helpless: "This time you have to go out lightly, get to the place as soon as possible, and you don't have to bring so many things." β
Why did she bring even two sets of cumbersome jewelry that she didn't wear much on weekdays?
"Isn't that going to be going for a long time, what if you stay here and lose it?" Xiaolian said casually.
The girl likes Lord He so much, and finally we can go to the south together, maybe I won't have to come back.
"Just bring the necessary ones."
In the blink of an eye, two days later, after bidding farewell to Emperor Xingyuan, dozens of people set off, in addition to what Xin Yu had already known, there was one more person - Sun Yan, the great eunuch who was temporarily stuffed in by Emperor Xingyuan.
Sun Yanming is in charge of supervising the cultivation of sweet potatoes like He Yushi, and secretly has the task of keeping an eye on Xin Yu and He Qingxiao.
Emperor Xingyuan didn't want to wait for the sweet potato harvest to harvest a grandson.
Because they wanted to properly carry sweet potato vines, the group took the waterway directly and rushed to Wenxian County for more than half a month.
The choice in Wen County was carefully thought out by Xinyu.
She traveled in the past and happened to pass by Wenxian County to live for a while, and she knew about the climate, water and soil of this place, and it was a place to grow sweet potatoes in this kind of time. The journey from the capital is not so far that it is a headache, it is more convenient to transmit information, and the hotter weather further south is indeed more conducive to the growth of sweet potatoes, but the rain is too abundant.
It is late autumn, but Wenxian County is as warm as spring, the grass and trees are full of green, and a tree is blooming.
"It's beautiful here." Xiaolian admired.
"Sister Xiaolian's first time in the south, right? This is the case in many places in the south, and winter is similar to spring and summer......" said the six masters enthusiastically.
Xiaolian smiled reservedly, and did not roll her eyes.
Oh, a stinky man who loves to show off and loves to compete for favor.
Dozens of people said that it was too much, but it was a lot less, and when they contacted the local government, the magistrate of Wen County did not dare to slack off, and he couldn't wait to vacate the county government for Xin Yu and his party to live.
"Zhang Zhixian doesn't have to be so polite. Please ask if there is any surplus land in the suburbs, we want to rent a few acres, it would be better if it was convenient to borrow the farm. β
"Yes, yes, there is a farm for the wife and brother of the lower official, and there are many ...... in the fertile land"
"Five acres of high-grade fields, medium-sized fields, and low-grade fields are good."
Zhang Zhixian sounded strange.
These bigwigs came to a small place like Wenxian from the capital, and they just wanted fields, so why did they have inferior fields? And it's only fifteen acres in total, what is this enough for?
Xin Yu said in her heart that she also wanted more, but the sweet potato vines that came across the sea were bred and I am afraid that they would not be able to plant one acre each, and it would not be so strange to ask for fifteen acres, otherwise others should suspect that they planned to plant gold people.
Zhuangzi was not far outside the city, and Zhang Zhixian personally led Xin Yu and his party over and quickly settled down.
After hiring some experienced farmers, the cultivation of sweet potatoes began.
In addition to the sweet potato vines brought back, there were also a few sweet potatoes that were not spoiled, and Xin Yu recalled the method mentioned by Queen Xin to cut the sweet potatoes and put them in a bottle with water to raise seedlings.
Wen County is on the right track in an orderly manner, but because of the departure of Xin Yu and others, the capital is like a calm lake throwing stones, causing layers of ripples.
"Did you hear that, Xin Yu has left the capital."
"What's more, there is also Changle Hou, He Yushi...... The grandson of the emperor's side also went with him. β
"The post station inquired about the news, and it went south."
"What are they going to do in the south? Is there a secret errand? β
"If Jin Linwei is out on business, it is not surprising. But Xin Yu is deeply loved by the emperor, calling the wind and rain upwards, and suddenly going south, I feel inexplicably uneasy. β
Although Xin Yu and his entourage left Beijing in a low-key manner, they themselves were people who were concerned by civil and military officials, and there was a saying after various quiet inquiries: At the beginning of the year, Daxia sent envoys to the sea, and among them were Xin Yu's cronies. And this cronie brought back a treasure, and this trip south is to make this treasure shine.
In a mansion, the faces of the people gathered together are not very good.
"What the hell does Xinyu want to do? Bringing back treasures from overseas? One person slapped the arm of the chair, "She is obviously thinking of letting go of the sea ban!" β
"It's not enough to implement the new deal, but also to open the sea ban, Xinyu doesn't leave a way for people to live!"
The face of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was gloomy: "Wait for the news from the south to investigate!" β
His family quietly participated in overseas trading, and the benefits were much greater than those of Zhan Liangtian.
Half a month later, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who received the news, fell into a deep daz: farming? Running to a small and unknown place to farm?
"Xiaguan knows!" An official showed a look of sudden realization, "What they brought back from overseas is not a cash cow, planting one can grow into a forest, and when you shake the money, it will fall all over the ground......
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu silently looked at the subordinate who was talking crazy, wanting to kill him.
At this time, another official spoke: "There are no surprises overseas, maybe it is true." β
Ministry of Rites: "......"
But no matter how you guess, if you can let Xin Yu deliberately go south, this matter must be very important, and there is no doubt that it will be unfavorable to them.
Xinyu, Xinyuβthe Rite Department Shangshu read this disgusting name in his heart, and his eyes were like knives.
At this year's Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, the Queen Mother found that Xin Yu did not come, and she was in a bad mood.
This dead girl, the most important family banquet in the past year, has not yet come, it is clearly to remind everyone of the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, which embarrassed her!
