Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 404: Wen County

Xin You spoke calmly, but He Qingxiao felt a heat coming from the hand holding his, penetrating through the sleeves and pouring on his heart.

 His heart burned, and he became even more helpless.

 He did not dare to move and was reluctant to leave.

Such a contradictory feeling that seemed to tear his sanity to pieces, but made sweetness surge wildly deep in his heart.

Xin You took a step closer, opened her arms and hugged the wooden man, and said softly: "He Qingxiao, give me a hug."

If she could really be calm and calm, she would not have opened her mouth to that person.

He Qingxiao tensed up for a moment, then slowly stretched out her arms to hug Xin You.

The two hugged each other quietly for a moment, and he took the initiative to distance himself: "Ayou, I'm leaving."

Xin You raised her lips: "Don't you call me Miss Xin?"

He Qingxiao looked at her deeply: "I will call you Ayou from now on."

 Hug and kiss, they did all the things that a couple can do. In his heart, Ayou was already his wife. Ayou is so brave, how could he not even have the courage to call her name.

 “I’ll take you out.” Xin You’s cheeks felt a little hot.

She sent him through the courtyard planted with red pomegranate trees, and stopped when he saw the back door of the bookstore lobby: "If you are familiar with the bookstore, I won't send him away."

 “Ayou, see you later.”

 He Qingxiao turned around and walked into the bookstore lobby.

Xinyou stood there and let the autumn wind blow up her skirt. It took a while before she left.

After packing her luggage, Xin You looked at Xiaolian rushing in and out, wishing to pack all her belongings, feeling a little helpless: "This time I need to travel lightly and travel lightly, and get to the place as soon as possible. There is no need to bring so many things."

 Why did she even wear two sets of cumbersome jewelry that she didn’t usually wear?

“It’s going to be a long time, what if I leave it here and lose it?” Xiaolian said casually.

The girl likes Mr. He so much that she finally managed to go to the south together. Maybe we can go far away without coming back.

 “Just bring what is necessary.”

In the blink of an eye, two days later, after bidding farewell to Emperor Xingyuan, a group of dozens of people set off. In addition to what Xin You had known for a long time, there was one more person - the **** Sun Yan who was temporarily thrust in by Emperor Xingyuan.

Sun Yan is responsible for supervising the sweet potato cultivation like He Yushi on the surface, but secretly he also has the task of keeping an eye on Xin You and He Qingxiao.

Emperor Xingyuan didn’t want to wait for the sweet potato harvest to have a grandson.

Since they had to carry the sweet potato vines properly, the group took the waterway directly and arrived in Wenxian County in more than half a month.

 The choice of Wen County was something Xinyou had carefully considered.

 She happened to pass by Wen County and stayed for a while during her travels in the past. She had some knowledge of the climate, water and soil here, and it was a place suitable for growing sweet potatoes at this time of year. The journey from the capital is not so far that it would be a headache, and it is more convenient to send messages. 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 Wen County is as warm as spring. The grass and trees are green and every tree is in bloom.

 “It’s so beautiful here.” Xiaolian praised.

“Sister Xiaolian, is this your first time in the south? It’s like this in many places in the south. Winter is almost the same as spring and summer...” Mr. Liu said enthusiastically.

Xiao Lian smiled reservedly and tried not to roll her eyes.

 Hehe, a stinky man who loves to show off and compete for favors.

Dozens of people contacted the local government and contacted the local government. The magistrate of Wen County did not dare to neglect at all, and wished to free up the county government office for Xin You and his party to live. "Zhang Zhi County, you don't have to be so polite. I would like to ask if there is any spare farmland in the suburbs. We would like to rent a few acres. It would be better if it is a farm where we can rent."

  "Yes, yes, the brother-in-law of a lower official has a farm with a lot of good land..."

“Five acres each of upper-class, middle-class, and lower-class fields is enough.”

 Zhixian Zhang seemed surprised.

These big shots came from the capital to a small place like Wen County. All they wanted was fields. Why would they want low-grade fields? And there are only fifteen acres in total. What is enough for this?

Xin You thought to herself that she also wanted more, but after breeding the sweet potato vines that came across the ocean, they might not be able to grow enough to grow even one acre each. Fifteen acres would not seem so weird, otherwise others would suspect that they were planning to grow gold.

Zhuangzi was not far outside the city. Zhang Zhixian personally led Xinyou and his party there, and they quickly settled down.

 After that, some experienced farmers were hired, and sweet potato cultivation began.

In addition to the sweet potato vines brought back, there were still a few sweet potatoes that were not damaged. Xinyou recalled the method mentioned by Queen Xin to cut the sweet potatoes and put them in a bottle with water to grow seedlings.

Wen County is on the right track in an orderly manner, but the departure of Xin You and others in the capital is like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

“Have you heard that Xinyou has left the capital?”

"Not only that, but also the Marquis of Changle, He Yushi... Eunuch Sun who is beside the emperor also went together."

“The news from the inn is that they are heading south.”

"What are they going to the south for? Is this a secret mission?"

“It would not be surprising if Jin Linwei is out on business. But Xin You is deeply loved by the emperor, and he can call upon the emperor to do whatever he wants. So suddenly going south makes me feel inexplicably uneasy.”

Although Xin You and his party left the capital in a low-key manner, they themselves were people who attracted the attention of civil and military officials. After various quiet inquiries, there was a theory: Daxia sent envoys to sea at the beginning of the year, and among them were Xin You's cronies. And this confidant brought back a rare treasure, and this time he went south to make this rare treasure shine.

 In a mansion, the faces of the people gathered together were not good.

“What exactly does Xin You want to do? Bring back treasures from overseas?” Someone slapped the armrest of the chair, “She is clearly thinking about relaxing the sea ban!”

“It’s not enough to implement the New Deal, we also need to impose a sea ban. Xin You is leaving no way for people to survive!”

The Minister of Rites looked gloomy: "We will wait until the people who went to the south to inquire return the news!"

His family has secretly participated in overseas business, and if you really want to calculate the benefits, they are much greater than the good land.

 Half a month later, the Minister of Rites received the news and fell into a deep confusion: Farming? Go to an unknown small place to farm?

“I understand!” An official said with a look of sudden realization. “What they brought back from overseas is not a money tree. If you plant one, it will grow into a forest. If you shake it, the money will fall all over the ground...”

 The Minister of Rites looked at the subordinate who was talking crazy and wanted to kill him.

At this time, another official said: "There are all kinds of strange things overseas, maybe this is really the case."

 Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites: “…”

But no matter how you guess, if Xin You can go south deliberately, the matter must be of great importance and it will undoubtedly be detrimental to them.

  Ah Xinyou, Xinyou—the Minister of Rites recited this name that disgusted him in his heart, his eyes were like knives.

At this year's New Year's Eve family dinner, the Queen Mother found out that Xin You didn't come, and she was in a bad mood.

This **** girl, the most important family banquet of the year has not come yet. It is obviously to remind everyone about the palace banquet on New Year's Eve last year, embarrassing her!
