My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

While the people of Kyoto were talking about the fact that the princess had chosen her consort, another sensational event happened in the capital.

It was a breezy afternoon, the sunshine was lazy, there were no pedestrians on the street, the shop assistants and shopkeepers, the street vendors, and the old yellow dog under the old tree were all taking a nap.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, tap, tap, tap.

The drowsy people were awakened. They looked up and saw a small blue cloth carriage running very fast. It passed by with a whoosh, leaving only an afterimage.

Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the street. Otherwise, running at this speed would be weird if he didn't knock over a bunch of people.

I have seen eight-hundred-mile fast horses with flags flying through the streets of the capital, but I have never seen such a fast carriage.

What's the big deal?
The Five Cities Military and Horse Division doesn't care?

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is responsible for the street management of Kyoto, so naturally they will not ignore it. No, the carriage was stopped by the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division before it even entered the inner city.

"Who is in the car! Why are you galloping in the capital!"

The driver who was driving the carriage was sweating profusely. Seeing this battle, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the curtain behind him, "Master!"

After a moment, the car curtain opened, revealing a strange face that was red, white, and black, "It's me! I have something important to do and I need to go to the palace immediately to meet the Holy Spirit!"

The commander of the Army and Horses Department who led the team was an acquaintance. He knew the man in the car and saw how urgent he was, so he couldn't help but let him go.

When the carriage sped away again, the subordinates behind him couldn't help but ask: "Sir, who is that person in the carriage? He looks like he has some serious illness."

Is this the first time he has seen someone's face be red, white or black?

The commander said: "That is my aunt's sister-in-law's father-in-law, Mr. Cheng, Sinong Qing."

He had heard his aunt mention it before, saying that Mr. Cheng had been away from home often since last autumn. He would be away for ten days and a half, sometimes for a month or two, and he didn't know what he was doing.

In short, he is getting darker and thinner, but his eyes are getting brighter and brighter. He is followed by some demon. I don’t know. I thought he was detained by some mining company to dig and tortured. Crazy.

Speaking of which, Master Cheng seems to have left home in February this time, right?It has been nearly two months, and you are suddenly in such a hurry to enter the palace to meet the saint. What big thing happened?

For those who didn’t know, they thought Mr. Cheng was out incognito on behalf of the emperor to inspect local affairs and discovered some extremely corrupt officials or something terrible.

But Master Cheng is just an ordinary agricultural official!

What are you doing if you don't stay in Zhuangzi to study his farming affairs?

The commander was very confused.

When Mr. Cheng entered the palace gate, Xu Yinyin, who had just gotten up from her nap in Cheng'anfang and Hanlin Mansion, received a report from Forsythia: "Princess, Ma Kuan just came back from outside and said that Mr. Cheng has returned to Beijing. This I guess he will have entered the palace soon."

Xu Yinyin listened, stretched herself out lazily, and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

After planning for more than half a year, this place is finally done.

Speaking of this, Xu Yinyin was a little bit dumbfounded.

After presenting the jade and wheat last year, her father discussed with him that they should not expose themselves to such publicity for the time being, so as not to stand out too much and arouse suspicion.

Why do you keep discovering new things that others cannot discover?

If you can't explain this clearly, let others take the limelight, so that she won't appear to be special.

And this other person is Mr. Cheng, and he is the most suitable candidate.

And there is no need to try too hard to guide him. After the jade and wheat harvest last year, Mr. Cheng went out of the city with all his heart. He climbed all the mountains outside the city. He was tired and couldn't climb anymore. , so I hired Lifu to carry and carry it. In short, I just wanted to find novel food and other things on the mountain.

He is an agricultural officer. Who else can do this better than him?

No, after climbing the mountains around the capital, we continue to expand outwards, including Bafong Mountain and Akama Mountain, which are two or three days away from the capital, and then we go further and further away——

Xu Yinyin had been asking people to follow him and keep an eye on his whereabouts to report at any time. Naturally, she knew his every move. Seeing that the time was almost up, she privately ordered Xunyan to do something.

She exchanged some sweet potatoes with roots and leaves from the exchange mall, and asked Xunyan to take them quietly to the depths of Xiangshan Mountain to plant them, and then led Master Cheng to discover them.

If this matter seems too strange to others, without careful consideration, Xunyan only listens to her orders and acts according to them. She never asks more questions and never talks too much. She is really the best "tool person", although It's a bit bad to say this, but after all, Xunyan's loyalty is unquestionable, and no one can handle these things more confidently than her.

The "hole" has been dug, just waiting for Master Cheng to drill into it.

But Mr. Cheng is also true. He hit the sweet potato vine two or three times and stepped over it, but he didn't notice it. After she got the letter from Xunyan, she wanted to let Xunyan dig out the sweet potato and throw it on him. .

As a result, he had to be more careful and tell him clearly that it was a good thing. Only then did Mr. Cheng finally discover the unique sweet potato with his "unique discernment".

There is no need to worry about what happens next.

Mr. Cheng took matters into his own hands, studied the sweet potatoes over and over again, and then successfully dug out the sweet potatoes underneath. Then, he searched around again, and finally dug out a few scattered sweet potatoes, covering a whole area. Carrying a basket.

Then, Mr. Cheng carefully washed a sweet potato, cut a piece and tasted it. It was edible, and he was fine after a night.

Potatoes, a high-yield food, were at the forefront. Judging from the result that Mr. Cheng dug up a basketful of sweet potatoes based on these few plants, he also felt that these sweet potatoes must also be a high-yielding food.

This discovery made Mr. Cheng's face glow with excitement. He also discovered a novel crop!
Ever since, Mr. Cheng has been rushing back to the capital day and night. Because he didn't take a good rest along the way, he vomited again and again while riding in the carriage. His face turned red because he couldn't suppress his excitement, and his face turned pale because of it. Because I'm almost exhausted.

The reason why he was able to hold on and not fall down was because he wanted to report to the emperor as soon as possible about this crop that was suspected to be another high-yielding food crop.

No, Master Cheng presented the sweet potatoes after meeting the saint. As soon as he explained the cause and effect, the man fell down gorgeously.

As Mr. Cheng was personally sent back to the Cheng Mansion by the emperor's chamberlain, and the imperial doctor was sent to see him, the rewards from the palace were also sent to the Cheng Mansion, and everyone who was well-informed knew about it.

Oh, it turns out that Master Cheng discovered high-yield grain deep in the Fragrant Mountains three hundred miles away from the capital. This grain is like potatoes, with roots and leaves exposed on the ground, and fruits growing in the ground.

It is said that this grain has a vermilion skin and white flesh, which is moist and edible. It produces fluid in the mouth, like kudzu when eaten raw, like honey when eaten cooked, and tastes like water chestnuts. Therefore, the emperor gave it the name sweet potato.

There are only a few sweet potato plants here, but a basketful of fruit has been harvested. It is really high-yielding. If the cultivation is really promoted, then the people of Dayan will have another food that can satisfy their hunger and has a high yield!
Previously, Princess Jiacheng presented the rare grains she discovered and was granted the title of county lord. Now Master Cheng has discovered high-yielding sweet potatoes and has been rewarded continuously and protected his son.

For a time, there were countless people setting foot in those deep mountains and old forests. Unfortunately, a lot of wild animals were hunted, a lot of mountain treasures were found, and some of them encountered tigers, bears and blind people.There were all kinds of adventures, but no one discovered any novel crops or anything like that.

When Xu Yinyin heard other people talking about these new things, she just laughed them off.

This kind of special thing, she doesn't want to be ruined on the street.

If everyone could just go into the mountains and find novel things, what would be so surprising?

But there was one more thing, she had to hurry up and let Mr. Cheng discover it.

She really wants to eat tomatoes, scrambled eggs, and tomatoes mixed with sugar.

Although the system mall is casual, she is always surrounded by people waiting for her, morning and evening, and it is really inconvenient to steal food or something.

And if you can eat it openly, who would want to eat it secretly?

But I had to wait for months for this opportunity.

As spring passed and autumn came, Master Cheng, who had taken good care of his body and mind, avoided the hottest summer. No, as soon as the weather cooled down, he embarked on the "journey" again.

Being able to benefit the people of Yan and being favored by the emperor all motivated him to move forward.

In the past few months, new roads have been trodden in the mountains around the capital, and he has heard about this at home.

However, he is not anxious at all. Not everyone has the ability to discern pearls.

Princess Jiacheng is one of them, but he can barely be considered the second one now, right?

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. With his ability and hard work, I believe he will find something good again.

Master Cheng is full of confidence, but reality does not deceive him.

Maybe he was really lucky. This time he went out, but in less than a month, he discovered several strange fruit trees under the cliff of a large mountain in Qizhou.

The branches and leaves of this fruit tree are nothing special. They look similar to eggplants and peppers, but there are bright red fruits hanging on the branches, like small red lanterns, and more like persimmons.

There are all kinds of berries and wild fruits all over the mountains and plains, and among them, there are countless poisonous ones.

Lord Cheng also knows that the more beautiful something is, the more poisonous it is, just like the fungus on the mountain.

Therefore, although he was attracted by the fruit tree, he did not dare to taste it in person.

He asked his entourage to buy a chicken from the village at the foot of the mountain, picked a red fruit, cut it open and studied it, and let the chicken peck at it.

On the second day, the chicken was still alive and kicking. Mr. Cheng felt relieved immediately and picked a red fruit to taste. Well, it was sour and sweet. It tasted crispy, tender and juicy. It really quenches your thirst!
Master Cheng felt that he had discovered a novel fruit. This fruit looked like a persimmon, but it was more thirst-quenching and sweeter than a melon.

Although it is not food, it is a rare good thing to find one more thirst-quenching fruit for the people of Dayan.

For fear that the picked red fruits would rot, Mr. Cheng didn't pick them at all. He uprooted the fruit trees and transported them back to the capital along with the soil.

After traveling day and night like this, when I rushed back to Beijing, fortunately, the red fruit was not rotten and was as fresh and tender as ever.

They were all red and very pleasing to the eye. The emperor was quite surprised when he saw them. Hearing that they were edible fruits, he couldn't help but taste them. After tasting them, he couldn't help but nod.

Immediately, Mr. Cheng was asked to test the seeds in the royal manor first, and then gradually promote them.

As soon as this matter spread, there was a lot more talk in the capital.

Master Cheng, who discovered the high-yield sweet potatoes, traveled far away and discovered something novel again. This time, it was not grain but a fruit. I heard that the fruit looked like a persimmon, red and beautiful, so the emperor gave it to him. The fruit is named tomato!
Master Cheng has made another great contribution this time, Long Yan is very happy, and the emperor has rewarded Master Cheng heavily again!

This made those who sent out many people but didn't find it, just shook their heads and sighed that there was no such luck, that's it, that's it.

However, because Mr. Cheng discovered two rare crops, Long Yan Dayue received a generous reward. Everyone couldn't help but think of Princess Jiacheng who had relied on these to get into the eyes of the emperor and step by step to her current status as princess.

Huh?Why has Princess Jiacheng been silent since she got married?

It has been more than a year, and Princess Jiacheng has yet to present anything good to the emperor and empress.

Is this because Qian Lv has run out of skills and has nothing to offer, or is it because she has a lot of things to take care of after getting married, and she doesn’t have the time to spare?
But the most important thing for a woman to get married is to have children.

But Princess Jiacheng has been married for more than a year, and there is no mother-in-law to set the rules. She can live her life as easily as she wants. No other new daughter-in-law is as wanton as her, and she has never seen any movement in her stomach. ?
People were gossiping at that time, so it would be fine if we didn't mention this matter. But if we mention it, it would be out of control.

First, the ladies and grandmothers from various houses chatted about the matter in private, and later, the women in the streets and alleys started discussing it.

So much so that Fang Congyun was teased in the Hanlin Academy.

As the first prize, Wen Xingyuan, who was assigned to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy, got married in September. Now it is also the time for newlyweds to mix their honey and oil. For Fang Congyun, who is also in the Hanlin Academy and has pushed him over and over again. , he naturally couldn’t stand it.

Although there was no quarrel between the two in the Hanlin Academy this year, almost everyone knew that the two were at odds with each other in person and in heart.

No, after hearing Wen Xingyuan's bright joke about when Fang Congyun would become a father, all the literati in the Hanlin Academy also took a rare opportunity to watch the excitement in their spare time.

It’s not just women who gossip, it’s the same with men.

And men gossip more. For example, if they are still not pregnant after more than a year after getting married, is it because Fang Hanlin is not good enough? Hahahaha——

Regarding these jokes and the naked doubts in his eyes, Fang Congyun's face remained calm and calm.

It's just that I can't remain indifferent in my heart.

Although he and his wife often told him to let nature take its course, after more than a year since they got married, except for the occasional days when his wife didn't want it, their married life was still very harmonious and happy. His wife didn't drink anti-pregnancy soup or anything, so why didn't she see the pregnancy letter? ?

I thought that my wife's uncle's eldest cousin had been unable to get his wife pregnant because he was born with weak sperm. After taking medicine for more than half a year, he finally found out the good news last month.

After Fang Congyun thought about it for two or three days, he specially asked for an hour's leave from his official on that day, and quietly went to Tongji Hall out of sight.
