During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
Of course, the premise of all this is whether the Ye family’s crops are really as outstanding as Qingtian said.
After all, the title of Grain King is given out every year.
Only when the Ye family's per-acre yield is overwhelmingly superior to previous years, and this grain king comes from the capital, can it really play such a role.
But since Qingtian wanted to help the Ye family, Prince Rui was naturally willing to go along with her.
“I have also heard about Master Zhan’s deeds in the past.
"But to be honest, the old man is old and has such a straightforward personality. His status and popularity in the Ministry of Agriculture are a bit..."
Prince Rui was too embarrassed to say the rest of the words, but Ye Lao Er immediately understood.
Although he didn't understand the things going on in officialdom, he could feel something through his contact with Mr. Zhan during this period.
Ye Lao Er nodded and said, "Yes, people like Mr. Zhan who devote themselves to the work and whose words can kill people are indeed different from those officials."
He felt that he was just agreeing with Prince Rui's words, but these words made Prince Rui choke and be stunned.
Prince Rui couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that you and Mr. Zhan should get along well.
"As for this letter, don't deliver it.
"To be honest, if no one pays attention to your letter, you're lucky.
“It wouldn’t be a good thing if it attracted other people’s attention.
"How about this, I have some people on my farm outside Beijing who are good at farm work. I'll transfer them over to help you."
Ye Laoer didn't expect that he would have such an unexpected surprise on his trip to Beijing.
He hurriedly bowed and thanked Prince Rui.
"With Qingtian here, our two families will inevitably interact more often in the future. We won't have to be so polite all the time."
As Prince Rui said this, he kept glancing at Qingtian's expression out of the corner of his eye, wishing he could take credit for it directly in front of his daughter.
Qingtian said to Prince Rui seriously, "Father, the crops grown by my second uncle are really good.
"My great-grandfather and Mr. Wei have both seen it, and they both said it was very good.
"Mr. Wei also said that once my crops mature, they can be used directly as high-quality seeds!"
Prince Rui knew that Mr. Cen had been committed to doing some breeding and seed selection work on his own farm, and had been praised by the emperor before.
Prince Rui trusted Mr. Cen's judgment more than Qingtian's praise.
So before leaving, he raised his hand and patted Ye Laoer on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of the crops. If you can really win the title of Grain King this time, on top of the reward from your brother, I will also give you a share!"
After saying this, Prince Rui took Qingtian back to the palace.
Ye Laoer was completely immersed in the happiness of being affirmed and encouraged by Prince Rui.
He picked up the bowl and quickly scooped the remaining few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth. After chewing it for a while, he swallowed half of it whole.
After finishing his meal, Ye Lao Er wiped his mouth and said to Ye Ersao, "Hurry up and find the things you want to take back.
"Since there's no need to deliver the letter, I won't delay any longer. I'll go back now."
Mrs. Ye had just taken a few bites of food when she heard this and said helplessly, "Even if you don't have to deliver the letter, you don't have to be so anxious, right?"
"Didn't you hear Prince Rui tell me to take good care of the crops?
"I don't have anything to do, so why should I stay in the capital for another day?
"Pack up now and go back, so you don't have to delay working in the fields tomorrow."
Seeing that Ye Laoer was determined to go home, Ye Ersao had no choice but to put down her bowl and chopsticks and go back to the second floor to find the clothes she had recently made for Ye Laoer and the children.
"These are clothes for outdoor wear in autumn. Take them home and let the children try them on. If they fit you well, put them away and wear them in autumn.
"Here are a few pairs of shoes, take them back with you.
"This is the dress I made for my mother. Remember to give it to her when you get back..."
While giving instructions, Ye Ersao found a piece of cloth, put all the things in it, tied it up, and handed it to Ye Laoer.
"You should take it easy when you work, and don't tire yourself out." Mrs. Ye said distressedly, "I see that you've lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you. My clothes were made according to my previous sizes, and now they won't fit you anymore."
"It's just that the weather is too hot and I got tanned, so I look thinner."
Ye Laoer didn't want his wife to work hard to make money in Beijing while also worrying about him.
But when he saw all the things that Ye Ersao had packed up, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"It's already very difficult for you to work in the capital. Take more time to rest when you have free time, and don't always think about making something for us.
"The clothes at home are still wearable, but it's not a festival, why make so many new clothes? It's so tiring!"
When Mrs. Ye heard that Ye Laoer was leaving and rushed over to ask him to take some things home, she overheard all these words outside the door.
Mrs. Ye knocked on the door with a smile and deliberately joked, "Second brother, what do you mean by your wife is working in the capital?
"So we're not human, are we? I know you care about your wife, but that's a bit too much!"
The couple had a somewhat sad atmosphere before, but it disappeared immediately after Mrs. Ye teased them.
Ye Laoer and his wife also felt that the two people's emotions were a little too much, and they felt a little embarrassed.
Ye Laoer scratched the back of his head, looking up at the sky, then down at the ground, his eyes darting everywhere.
Ye Ersao rubbed her hands with a red face, wanting to find something to do.
In the end, I simply opened the bundle I had just made and wrapped it again.
"The store has recently made some pickles. You can take some back for your mother and family to try. They are perfect with porridge for breakfast.
"Here are two jars of good wine. You can take them back with you and save them for drinking when we move into the new house.
"And these braised meats and stewed meats, you have to eat them quickly after you take them back. They won't last long, otherwise they'll go bad."
When Ye Lao Er saw it, he was surprised to find that Ye Dasao was going to take back several times more things than Ye Ersao.
So the purpose of his trip to the city was to transport goods.
Sister Ye saw through his thoughts and said, "Now that your eldest brother has left the country, it's not so convenient for us to go home.
"It's a good opportunity for you to come over and take back as much as you can."
When Ye Laoer heard this, he suddenly realized. That's right. His elder brother was not at home, and there was no one to drive his sister-in-law back to the village.
He immediately regretted his previous thoughts and hurried forward to move all the things into the car one by one.
After putting it away, he took the initiative to ask: "Sister-in-law, is that all? Is there anything else you want to take back?"
