delicious farm girl

Chapter 437
The old friends reunited, and Li Er and Liu Jin couldn't finish talking.

When the two of them talked about the old things and all the things around them these years, they couldn't help but sigh.After a short meeting, they drank a jar of wine and all the appetizers on the table were wiped out.

Su Ran quickly asked someone to bring another jar of wine, and made a few side dishes to go with the wine.After staying with me for a while, I went back to watch the children sleep.

She was also tired all day today.Now I went to see Liu Jin again, and it was already dark when I came out.So after the children fell asleep, she saw that Li Er and Liu Jin didn't intend to rest, so she simply ignored them, took a bath by herself, put on pajamas and went to bed to rest.

I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, she only felt that the mattress under her body sank heavily, and a strong smell of alcohol swept over from the sweep, waking her up.

Su Ran opened her eyes, she was about to get up, but Li Er had already wrapped her arms around her waist. "Don't move, let me give you a good hug."

After a pause, Su Ran noticed that the man's body was already close to him, and the strong smell of wine became even stronger.

Su Ran frowned slightly. "You drank too much, I'll make you some hangover tea."

"No, I'm in a good mood now, and I want to talk to you. You stay here with me." Li Er shook his head and said coquettishly like a child.

Su Ran was stunned. "What do you want to tell me?"

"I'm very happy today," he said.

"Well, I know." Su Ran nodded.Old friends reunited, and finally an old friend who didn't intend to plot against him came, so it's no wonder he was so excited.

"Really, I'm so happy! The Liu family really deserves to be the best friends of my ancestors. Grandpa once said that we don't have to believe in the other families, but the Liu family has to believe it! I was young before, and I didn't understand what grandpa said. Meaning, but now I understand!" Li Er said, rubbing his face against her shoulder again.

Su Ran pursed her lips. "The Liu family is indeed worth making friends with. It's just that you have to be careful, and don't let others catch any clues."

"Don't worry, we all know that." Li Er nodded.

Su Ran hummed lightly.She believed they must have their measure.

Li Er's hands slowly tightened around her waist, and his body slowly pressed closer to her.

Su Ran felt a little uncomfortable.She moved a little, trying to distance herself from him, but she didn't expect the man to pull her back again.

"Yeah...you!" Su Ran was about to complain, but she didn't expect the man to come close to her ear, and said softly, "I just said that you are like my great-grandmother, and I meant the truth. My great-grandmother, although I I haven't seen it, but I grew up in the stories of my great-grandmother. In fact, no one knows that my great-grandmother was my great-grandfather's wife, but because my great-grandfather was drafted into the army in the early years, he suffered a head injury and lost his memory. General Xu took him in as his adoptive son, so he broke off contact with his great-grandmother. But the great-grandmother relied on her own strength to draw up her and great-grandfather's children—that is, my grandfather and my aunt."

"Later, my great-grandfather was seriously injured in order to block the arrows of General Xu. He had recovered his memory at that time, and wanted to die in his hometown. Who knows, he was rescued by his great-grandmother by accident. Then the two married again , the great-grandfather was grateful for the kindness of the great-grandmother. Not only did he change his surname to Li after his great-grandmother, but he also insisted that my grandfather and aunt both follow the surname Li. Later they gave birth to my uncle. Originally, my great-grandmother planned to let my uncle be named Li, but my great-grandmother Thinking that General Xu will have no heirs after his death, he still gave his uncle the surname Xu, which can be regarded as a continuation of the bloodline of his great-grandfather's grandfather. It's a pity..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Su Ran quickly turned around and hugged him, gently stroking the top of his head with one hand a few times, "Grandpa's blood is broken, but we are still there! Let's go back and talk again." Call a child Xu, and then continue that bloodline."

"Yeah." Li Er nodded, and he smiled at her again, "You know what? You are really similar to your great-grandmother. Great-grandmother was also in the countryside at the beginning, but she was persevering. The family business is getting better and better. If the Xu family hadn't sent people to look for them later, they would definitely have become the same as we did before, and they would become big households in the village! However, even after following her great-grandfather into the city, she is still Great-grandfather's good helpers. They also stayed in the capital for a short time. During this time, great-grandmother actually made friends with Princess Jin, who later became a queen. Later, when King Jin became emperor, they went to the northwest. Great-grandmother was very good at planting Land, she just got a few wild wheat seeds by chance, and then started to sow them in the northwest, and then it succeeded! At least half of the reason why my great-grandfather was named Zhenxi King is because of this!"

"Really?" This is the first time Su Ran heard of it.

But think about it, the first Princess Zhenxi was able to grow such a good-for-nothing, high-yielding fanmai, which indeed provided a stable source of food for the army, and invisibly relieved a huge burden for the court. pressure.To exchange it for silver, at least one year is several 10 taels!Just for this achievement, they are worthy of a throne.

In addition, the first King of Zhenxi was also very capable, galloping on the battlefield when he was young.After General Xu passed away, as General Xu's adoptive son, he was obliged to take over the unfinished business of General Xu, and kept Xi Rong out of the border.When he was alive, Xirong's face changed completely when he talked about it. He only needed to walk around the city wall every day, and Xirong's soldiers did not dare to invade.This naturally contributed a great deal to the stability of the country.

The two contributions are added together, and it is simply unreasonable for the emperor not to make him a king!

"So, I'm really not as good as my great-grandmother." Su Ran shook her head lightly, "In terms of farming, I'm far behind my great-grandmother."

If it weren't for him, she probably wouldn't have tried to grow so many wheat.Naturally, their family should still be just a wealthy household in the village.

"No, you are all the same." Li Er insisted, "You are just like your great-grandmother, hard-working, capable, tough and kind. If there was no great-grandmother, there would be no great-grandfather later. And without you, there would be no present me."

Hearing this, Su Ran was suddenly speechless.

Li Er hugged her tightly. "However, my great-grandmother suffered from suffering from childhood, and her health was not well maintained. Later, she worked hard in the Northwest, and she collapsed at the age of 40. The great-grandfather tried his best to recuperate her, but he only let her die at the age of 50. She left Later, my great-grandfather was also very sad, and he passed away half a year after she left, so I haven’t seen them. But when I was young, I always heard my grandparents praise my great-grandmother in different ways. At that time, I didn’t believe that there was such a good woman in the world. I met you..."

"I'm actually not that good." Su Ran said softly.

"But in my eyes, you are the best and the most suitable for me!" Li Er said.

Su Ran pursed her lips.Li Er had indeed drank too much. The wine seemed to have opened up his chatterbox, and he didn't feel thirsty even after talking for a long time.Slowly resting his chin on her shoulder, he continued to babble with her: "It's a pity that our children and grandchildren are unworthy. The foundation that our great-grandfather and great-grandmother worked so hard for us has been ruined like this! Great-grandmother tried her best to make Fanmai The cultivation of herbal medicine spread to all parts of the country, and together with her great-grandfather, she wrote many memorials to the late emperor in the capital, but none of them came to fruition. We only found out later that the prince was seriously ill at that time, and the late emperor was too busy to take care of himself, so how could he care about it?"

"Is this prince the first Jianye prince?" Su Ran suddenly asked softly.

Li Er nodded. "yes."

Su Ran suddenly closed his chest. "Later, the prince died."

"That's right! After the crown prince passed away, the late emperor also suffered a serious illness, and passed away a few years later. Then the current emperor ascended the throne. At that time, my great-grandfather and great-grandmother had also passed away one after another. My grandfather and the others have not forgotten the last wish of my great-grandfather and great-grandmother." , Continue to write to the Holy Majesty, requesting to promote the cultivation of wild wheat. But, this emperor!" Li Er's voice suddenly turned cold, and he began to gnash his teeth.

"He was afraid of the prestige of the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion in the northwest. And because his great-grandfather and the generals on the border were old friends at that time, after the success of planting the wild wheat, his great-grandfather gave them the seeds and cultivation methods, and they planted them well. Therefore, in the border area, the reputation of Zhenxi Palace is even louder than that of the emperor. Therefore, the emperor began to think wildly, he was afraid that after the promotion of Fanmai, the reputation of Zhenxi Palace would spread all over the country, so there would be nothing wrong with him as the emperor Yes. From then on, he regarded the Zhenxi Palace as a thorn in his side, and tried every means to get rid of us. And then..."

And then, it was the part of the past that he didn't want to recall the most.

Li Er's voice began to tremble, and his body trembled slightly.

Su Ran quickly hugged him. "Okay, it's okay, it's okay. It's over, it's over!"

Li Er hugged her tightly, but Su Ran noticed that a touch of moisture was slowly staining her neck—is he... crying?
