Chapter 340 Inspection Three

Tutor Sun turned around and saw a young woman.

"My girl, it's noisy enough for me to come here alone, so your dad should just stay home!"

The old woman on the ox cart looked at her daughter with satisfaction, even though her daughter was filial and her in-laws were also very kind.

But they couldn't be shameless. She felt bad about living here alone, so how could she possibly bring the old man with her? After all, she would be staying here for a whole year.

After hearing what her mother said, the young woman immediately became unhappy.

"Mom, I've told you so many times that we have enough food to last until next year and can support you.

The reason I asked you all to come here is so that you can recuperate. Look how well my mother-in-law's legs are now. Why didn't you listen? "

Tutor Sun and the others watched quietly from the side, their minds full of questions, but General Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"Madam, do you think your family will have enough food for next year?"

He looked at the young woman in front of him in confusion, thinking that he had heard it wrongly.

At that time, every family had no food to eat, so how could they have so much surplus food?

Tutor Sun also looked at him with a frown. Although he did not say anything, he was thinking the same thing as General Cheng.

“…………”The young woman hesitated.

Looking at the nobles in gorgeous clothes in front of him who were silent, it was not difficult to tell that they were thinking about something.

Ordinary people like them have no connection with such a noble person. I don’t know what their intention is in asking about this matter.

Seeing the doubts in her heart, Master Sun no longer hid it.

"Sorry, the emperor sent us here to conduct a secret investigation. I heard that the Sixth Prince built a greenhouse for you. I wonder how it works?"

As soon as he said this, the eyes of the people in front of him lit up obviously, and they looked at each other. No wonder these people were dressed so gorgeously, they must be high-ranking officials.

Since you are from the imperial court, you must speak the truth.

The old woman carrying the vegetables suddenly smiled with her eyes curved.

"That's right, my lords. The prince not only built pit greenhouses for each of our families, but also gave us a lot of new and exotic seeds!"

As he spoke, he pushed the basket in his hand forward.

"Look, these cabbage seeds were given to me by the prince and princess. They are much more delicious than those wild vegetables in the mountains."

“…………”General Cheng was delighted.

He picked up a small cabbage, put it in his mouth and started chewing, his eyes brightening up.

"Yeah, it's true!" He nodded with satisfaction.

It does have a sweet taste and is very juicy. It tastes much better than the astringent wild vegetables we usually eat.

Tutor Sun at the side also took one and put it in his mouth, nodding with satisfaction.

This tastes really good!

The expression on the face of Marquis Yongning, who was standing behind him, turned ugly. He looked at Zhou Quan beside him with dissatisfaction, and the blame in his eyes could not be concealed.

What a loser! She can't even handle such a small matter. How can we let this woman appear here?

"…………"comprehensive.

He also looked guilty and looked at Yongning Hou with a panicked look.

The second prince had promised him before that if he accomplished this, he would transfer him back, but looking at the current situation, there was no hope.

If he couldn't return to the capital, there would be another thing that would give him a headache, which was how to explain what happened today to Han Muchen.

I believe it won’t be long before he gets the news.

Others didn't have time to pay attention to his expression, they only paid attention to the green vegetables in the basket in front of them.

"Sister-in-law, could you please let me see your pit greenhouse?"

Tutor Sun bowed to the old woman in front of him, then glanced at Zhou Quan who looked guilty, his face darkening.

Although I can't be completely sure, I have a rough idea in my mind.

"…………"comprehensive.

Being stared at by Grand Tutor Sun, a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and hurried forward.

"You mean these vegetables are grown in that pit greenhouse? How come I didn't know that?"

He looked at the old woman in front of him, and pointed at the cabbages in the basket with a look of surprise, as if he had never known about this before.

"Of course! Otherwise, how could we get such good seeds?"

The old woman looked at Zhou Quan in front of her with confusion, and then touched the cabbages in the basket curiously.

This was given by the prince and princess, and you can't buy it outside.

Looking at this guy's pretentious face, General Cheng was too lazy to look at him and turned his gaze to the old woman in front of him.

"Please take us to your house so we can return to Beijing and report."

As he spoke, he took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into the old woman's hand.

Looking at the heavy silver in her hand, the old woman looked frightened.

"Oh, you can't do that. You'd better take it back!"

I just wanted to let them take a look at my greenhouse, why do I have to pay so much money?

"Old sister-in-law, you can just keep it. Please lead the way!"

As he spoke, General Cheng had already stepped aside.

Seeing that the noble man in front of her really wanted to give her money, the old woman hesitated for a while, but still put it in her pocket.

Several people climbed onto the ox cart and led Master Sun and others into the village.

Master Sun and his companions were sitting in the carriage, stretching their necks to look outside, only then did they realize that this was the village where the common people lived.

Although the houses are all very dilapidated, at least they are made of mud bricks, and it can be seen that they are lived in by decent people.

Although the houses are dilapidated, the pit greenhouses in front of their doors are neatly arranged.

They were all standing in a row, as if they had been measured with a ruler. The crystal clear glass roof looked extremely spectacular.

It’s not like those uneven and crude ones I’ve seen before.

As soon as they arrived at the mother-in-law's house, several people followed him into the underground greenhouse. After seeing the lush plants inside, their eyes lit up.

“…………”

General Cheng walked ahead in surprise, pointing excitedly at the corn seedlings that were as high as his knees.

"This... is corn, right?"

He also has a fiefdom in the suburbs of the capital, and he grows a lot of this every year, but the leaves are not as thick and lush as others, and they are not as juicy. The difference is not a little bit.

"This is corn, sticky corn. It's also the seed given by the prince and princess. It's said to be even tastier than glutinous rice!"

The old woman pointed at the green cornfield in front of her and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

After hearing her words, not only General Cheng, but even Grand Tutor Sun looked suspicious.

"What is sticky corn?"

He looked at the old woman in front of him and pointed to the cornfield in front of him.

I've never heard of sticky corn.

"Oh! I can't really explain this. Why not let the technician explain it to you in detail?"

The old woman smiled and pointed at the young man in the distance who was talking to his son, and waved at him.

"Young man, come here!"

Hearing the old lady's voice, the young man turned around and found that there were many people standing at the entrance, so he walked over quickly.

"Auntie! You're back so soon?"
