Chapter 242 Double Happiness
"Did I look better? It's just that it's grown!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a nonchalant smile.

Cui Pu raised her chin, looked her up and down, left, right, left, right, and right, then shook his head: "No, you just look good."

"It just grows." Mu Jiaojiao insisted.

"Do you think I haven't seen a girl bloom? In just over a year, you are like a flower bud that has just emerged, and suddenly grow up and fully bloom. This speed is too fast. No Who is like you... No, you must not have fully bloomed yet! Then what will you look like in the end?" Cui Pu's face paled, "By the way, I remembered! From the time we got married, you slowly Slowly changing, but now it is obviously faster! I said that the last time we were separated for a month and a half, when I returned to Chang'an, why did I feel that there was something wrong with you when I first saw you? Now I can figure it out! Tell me honestly, what happened one thing?"

"What else could it be? It's not that you are well nourished, sir?" Mu Jiaojiao raised his brows and smiled coquettishly at him.

Cui Pu was dazzled by her smile, and her heart beat faster.

He stayed with her every day on weekdays, so he was not very sensitive to her changes.But today, after being reminded by Mrs. Cui Er, he finally realized—how did this woman become so beautiful?It's unforgivable to be even prettier than him!
Especially when she smiled at him so sweetly, it was like a tree full of flowers blooming in a blink of an eye, it was dizzyingly beautiful.Even he, a person who doesn't like to look at those colorful things, was amazed at this moment.

It's over, his little heart is still beating non-stop, and it doesn't listen to his brain at all.And his eyes involuntarily fell on her smile, unable to move away for a long time.

It's already like this, but the goblin Mu Jiaojiao still refuses to let him go.She held his wrist holding her chin with one hand, and rubbed it gently with her fingertips. The smile on the corner of her lips was triumphant and dangerous: "Am I right? If it weren't for your hard work and nourishment from my husband these days, I wouldn't be here." How could a flower grow up and bloom so quickly?"

"Yes, you are so right!" Cui Pu gritted his teeth and said, "You seduce me like this now, do you want me to moisten you again?"

"Then how can we do that? We are visiting relatives' house now!" Mu Jiaojiao quickly put a smile on his face and retracted his hand pretendingly.

But want to accept it now?late!
As soon as Cui Pu held her back, he gnawed hard on her lips: "You goblin!"

He hugged her by the waist and continued to nourish this flower that belongs to him alone!
As for the reason...is this important?Anyway, it doesn't matter now, he just wants to destroy flowers with his hands!
The next day, the two woke up late as expected.

The Wang family only thought that they had traveled a long distance, and when they first arrived, they went to see a doctor for the third master Wang. They were tired, so they didn't think too much about it.

When they slept until early in the morning and woke up, Second Lady Cui had already led a group of young ladies from the Wang family to wait outside.

When they saw Mu Jiaojiao, the group of young ladies all showed astonishment in their eyes, and hurriedly rushed forward, asking endless questions around Mu Jiaojiao.Fortunately, Mu Jiaojiao was well prepared. Before coming here, he brought a lot of good things for beautification and beauty, and distributed them to the young ladies one by one, and gave them some skin beautification tips, which made the young ladies get closer to her. up.

When it came to the front, after a night of recuperation, Master Wang San had recovered to his original state and was in very good spirits.Seeing this, Governor Wang became even more enthusiastic about Cui Pu and his wife.

However, Cui Pu is no longer in the mood to pay attention to the enthusiasm of this family. He even thinks that this family is too warm to them!

Especially the young gentlemen of the Wang family, the focus is on those young gentlemen who have not yet married in their twenties!The way they looked at Mu Jiaojiao one by one was a bit too revealing!

How had he not noticed this before?
Therefore, he always kept Mu Jiaojiao behind intentionally or unintentionally, and did not allow her to speak a word with these people.This is the same virtue as an old hen protecting her chicks, which made Mu Jiaojiao laugh secretly.

After another half day of hard work in Wang Cishi's residence, the two of them bid farewell and left.

After finally getting into the car, Cui Pu finally heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly put on a face: "When you go out in the future, remember to wear the curtain, unless you are the closest person, you are not allowed to lift the curtain."

"You're crazy! The curtain is so long, covered from head to toe, in this hot weather, are you planning to suffocate me? Besides, when I go out now, I don't wear a veiled hat? That's enough." Mu Jiaojiao Reluctantly said.

"No, the curtain hat is too crude, and it can be opened as soon as someone lifts it. It's better to leave the curtain. Later, I'll ask someone to make some nicer ones for you, just embroider more flowers on it."

Mu Jiaojiao burst out laughing suddenly. "Could it be that you're only getting nervous now?"

"I'm nervous? Why am I nervous?" Cui Pu pouted.

"Because I look better than you now, you are afraid that others will look at my beauty and come to rob me, aren't you?"

"Joke! You are my wife, and you have been married to me for so long, who can take you away from me?" Cui Pu snorted coldly, "Besides, have I treated you badly these years? You and Am I not happy together? In this world, how many people can you find who share the same interests as you and who can even be bad together? You are reluctant to leave me and run away with others!"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded after thinking about it. "That's true. But, then I don't understand even more—since you know I'm reluctant to leave you behind, why do you still wrap me up so tightly?"

"I……"

"Ok?"

"I'm just jealous, can't I?" Cui Pu gritted his teeth, "You are my wife, and that's my man. No matter how beautiful your face is, you can only show it to me. Other men don't talk about it! I didn't notice it before. , forget it. But now, as long as I think of those men's lewd eyes that will stay on you, I can't bear it! So, you'd better hold me tight!"

"You have lewdness in your heart, so anyone can see it as lewdness." Mu Jiaojiao said.

"That's because you don't understand men. Which man can bear seeing a beautiful lady like you? Anyway, I can't bear it!"

"Really? Just like last night?" Mu Jiaojiao raised his eyebrows.

Cui Pu gritted his teeth and immediately threw her on the head: "Yes, just like last night!"

Back in Tianchang County, Cui Pu, as if nothing happened, took a short rest for two days before rushing to Liujia Village to check the growth of sweet potatoes.

After growing in the normal field for more than three months, the sweet potatoes have basically grown up now.Cui Pu dug out a plant, and when he saw a bunch of three or four sweet potatoes about the size of two fists growing underneath, he jumped up for joy!
Just as happy as him are Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhang who stayed here and carefully guarded the sweet potatoes for four months.

Cui Pu naturally didn't dare to hide such a happy event, so he quickly wrote a memorial and sent it to Chang'an at an expedited speed of [-] li.By the way, he also edited two books and reported the news to Mr. Cui Ge and Mu You respectively.

Less than ten days after the memorandum was delivered, people from Chang'an came, and it was people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry who came together, and they were escorted by a group of elite soldiers from the Ministry of War, a total of 400 people.After these people arrived in Tianchang County, they rushed to Liujia Village, Wuxing Town without stopping to start the first season of sweet potato harvesting.

Under the supervision of officials from the Ministry of Household Industry, officers and soldiers armed with broadswords surrounded a lush sweet potato field.This posture is really scary from a distance.

In such a situation, the people of Liujia Village started harvesting tremblingly.

Perhaps it was because of the supervision of so many officers and soldiers that the common people did not dare to slack off.It took them only one day to harvest all the sweet potatoes on the hundreds of mu of land.

It is said that the least one mu of land produces more than 200 catties, and the most is more than 300 catties!On average, the output of one mu of land is almost [-] catties or nearly [-] catties.

"Okay! Very good!" After hearing the output figures, the officials of the household department clapped their hands happily, "It is really gratifying to be able to achieve such an output after groping for planting in the first season. The output of one mu of land is almost twice that of rice, which means that the output of one mu of land can feed twice as many people. This is really a great joy! This official must report this matter to the Your Majesty, let Your Majesty know this good news as soon as possible!"

"That's a must!" The official of the Ministry of Industry nodded quickly, and turned around and gave Cui Pu a positive smile, "Cui Zhi County, when His Majesty learns about this, he will be very happy. You have made a great contribution this time. The people of Liujia Village, you are all great heroes of my new Tang Dynasty!"

"Really? Does this mean that our sweet potatoes are growing well?" Li Zheng stammered.

"Do you need to say it? I just said that the output of an acre of rice is only [-] catties. And you planted sweet potatoes, which doubled the output. Doubled, you know this What does it mean? That is, twice as many people don’t have to go hungry! Isn’t this a great thing?” The officials were in such a good mood that they took the initiative to strike up a conversation with these ordinary people.

After hearing this, the people of Liujia Village breathed a sigh of relief.Then, they also cheered.

Although such a result had already been expected.But now that he got affirmative replies from these officials, and seeing the smiles of the common people who finally showed their smiles after half a year of fear, Cui Pu's mood also became excited.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Although this matter is led by the lower officials, the people of Liujia Village cooperated with it. However, it is also inseparable from the financial support of the squires in Tianchang County. There is also the government of Yangzhou. Home, they learned that we have difficulty in cash flow, and they also sent money to help with the emergency.”

"As long as they have made meritorious service in this matter, they must be rewarded heavily. Cui Zhixian, you should go back and draw up a letter, list the meritorious persons, and bring them back to present when I return to Chang'an To His Majesty. When the time comes, His Majesty will reward you for your merits."

"Okay, I'm going to make a list right now!" Cui Pu responded quickly.

This time, Liujia Village allocated more than 100 mu of land to plant sweet potatoes, and harvested a total of more than 2000 catties.The officers and soldiers transported all the [-] jin of output back to Chang'an in one go, and showed it to the sage, leaving only a small amount of [-] jin for the first heroes to enjoy.

This matter is now completely done.Although there was no news from Chang'an for the time being, everyone was smiling and waiting for the news of the reward from Chang'an.Other places that had previously rejected the pilot planting of sweet potatoes regretted their mistakes.

At this time, Xiao Si'er quietly ran to Cui Pu'er and whispered: "Mr. Lang, Mr. Jiang is asking to see you. It seems that he is very anxious!"

"Really? Do you know what happened?" Cui Pu raised his eyebrows.

"Need to say? It must have something to do with the fact that the governor's mansion suddenly sent officers and soldiers to arrest Mr. Jiang Erlang yesterday!"
