Actually, Jiang Chao was more interested in asking what would happen if something happened to the others.
I just knew this question was too offensive, so I didn't dare ask it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan remained silent, understanding Jiang Chao's meaning.
After a long silence, he reluctantly pulled out a jade pendant. "Take this."
"Will this allow me to return?"
“Of course not,” Jiang Nuan rubbed her forehead. “Array formations are not that simple. If you can’t find the array entrance, even a jade pendant won’t help.”
The jade pendant used to break the formation must be made of top-grade jadeite, so that it can hold more energy and thus break the balance within the formation.
Jiang Nuan herself doesn't own many of these jade pendants, and she simply can't bear to waste them.
"Where is the array gate?"
"How stupid!" the old woman said disdainfully. "How could I tell you something like this?"
Both of them were too much troublemakers, and the old lady instinctively distrusted them.
Just by listening to their words, you can tell that the two boys are quite shrewd.
The old lady was pretty sure that once the two of them knew how to get out, they would definitely be running around outside every few days.
"So, the jade pendant is useless?"
"I've spoken to your second sister-in-law about the array gate. She knows about it. If you want to get out, you can only ask her."
Jiang Nuan made two jade pendants in total. She originally planned to keep one for herself and leave the other with her second daughter-in-law, but the two boys suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
If we don't give them anything, they'll drag their feet for a long time, so it's better to be direct.
"We still have to ask Second Sister-in-law," Huang Xiaosan said somewhat discontentedly. "If she doesn't agree, won't we be unable to leave?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes. "You're going out?"
"No, no," sensing the danger in her tone, Huang Xiaosan quickly changed the subject, "Mother, I think it's good to let Second Sister-in-law manage the household. She's dignified and generous, and she's thorough in her work, and also..."
“Alright, flattery won’t work,” Jiang Nuan interrupted her son. “I’ve already given instructions that unless absolutely necessary, I won’t let you out. Don’t try anything funny. Your second sister-in-law is just as cunning as anyone else.”
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, both somewhat disappointed.
“I’ve already given you the jade pendant,” Jiang Nuan said, not wanting to be bothered by the two any longer. “Hurry up and go. There’s a lot going on at home. Go help out if you have nothing else to do.”
"Mother, I..."
"I don't want to hear you talk, it gives me a headache," Jiang Nuan covered her ears. "Let me have some peace and quiet."
As children grow older, they become even more troublesome, which is truly worrying.
Huang Xiaosan wanted to say something, but Jiang Chao grabbed his sleeve and stopped him, so he could only compromise, "Alright then."
She pursed her lips, lingered for a while, and then reluctantly followed Jiang Chao away.
"Finally gone," the old lady felt a sense of relief. "Those two brats were such a nuisance."
They can be so persistent and annoying that they can give you a headache.
You're about the same.
Jiang Nuan thought to herself, but dared not say it aloud.
"Mother, this trip to the capital will involve a lot of travel, and we won't be able to eat or sleep well. Are you really not going to reconsider?"
Jiang Nuan couldn't bear to see the old lady travel all the way with her.
"I won't consider it. This whole thing is because of me. If I back down now, what will I become?"
This is the main reason why the old lady insisted.
If she stayed home this time, she felt that she wouldn't be able to live with herself after receiving the title.
"Alright," Jiang Nuan said helplessly, "You should rest early tonight, and we'll set off first thing tomorrow morning. You don't need to worry about anything; I'll prepare everything."
"Not even clothes?"
"No need, I have other plans."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Although the old lady was very assertive at home, she had never been outside and felt a little uneasy.
He was also exceptionally compliant with his daughter.
As night fell, Jiang Nuan suddenly woke up from her sleep, her forehead covered in sweat and her heart pounding in her chest.
"Panic-stricken civilians, soldiers exuding murderous intent, countless cries of agony, and a raging fire..."
What kind of scene is this?
Why would I suddenly dream about these things?
I've always been a good sleeper, so why would I dream about something like this?
Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Jiang Nuan got up and walked into the courtyard.
The crescent moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the courtyard brightly. The branches rustled, and cicadas chirped in the air.
Tranquil, serene, and pleasing to the eye.
The gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of plum blossoms made me feel even more relaxed.
With a long sigh, Jiang Nuan finally emerged from the dream.
However, the scene in my mind just wouldn't go away.
"Could it be an early warning?"
Jiang Nuan didn't think she was so important that God would remind her.
However, she couldn't find any other explanation for having such a dream out of nowhere.
"Perhaps it was just an ordinary nightmare."
It was just that the timing of their arrival was extremely coincidental.
Despite trying to convince herself of this, Jiang Nuan still couldn't completely let go.
"Never mind, things will work themselves out."
The scene in the dream was clearly a chaotic world, but the Great Zhou Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous, and although there were occasional upheavals, it was not so chaotic.
Keeping this matter to herself, Jiang Nuan went to her spatial dimension.
Xiao Liu, who was busy picking corn in the space, saw Jiang Nuanlai and quickly ran over, looking at her ingratiatingly, his eyes constantly glancing towards the well.
Seeing this, Jiang Nuan knew what it wanted to do without even thinking.
“You already drank a whole bowl of it last time. You’re not allowed to drink it until you’ve picked the corn properly.”
Thanks to her generous use of water, the corn has already been harvested for the third time, just enough for one acre of land.
The other two acres were used as experimental fields; one acre was planted with various vegetables and fruits for everyday consumption, and the other acre was used as an experimental field.
So far, she has cultivated three varieties of corn.
A common variety with exceptionally high yield; even with the current conditions in Da Zhou, it can produce 1,200 jin per mu.
There's another type of sweet corn that's not only sweet but also incredibly juicy—it bursts with juice when you bite into it.
The last type has a very low yield, but the straw has a particularly high sugar content and can be used to extract sugar.
Although she hasn't conducted any experiments yet, Jiang Nuan believes that the extracted sugar is just as good as cane sugar.
eye!
Xiao Liu lifted his hoof, his eyes filled with deep grievance.
It's one thing to make it pull people and plow fields, but to make it break things up is simply deliberately making things difficult for the ox.
"Don't pretend, I know you can do it."
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Xiao Liu's hooves could be so agile.
Even a broken bench can be repaired; picking these ears of corn is just a matter of sprinkling water.
eye!
Xiao Liu tried to bargain, wanting to get the payment first.
"It really has become a spirit," Jiang Nuan said, rubbing the bull's head in annoyance. "Looks like I can't let you stay in the space any longer."
The family thought Xiao Liu was in the deep mountains, but they brought him into their space and raised him to be shiny and healthy, making him look... delicious.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu panicked, glanced at Jiang Nuan with difficulty, and then plunged headfirst into the cornfield.
In no time, rows of smooth, neat ears of corn were arranged on the fallen stalks.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Nuan's lips twitched uncontrollably.
She had always suspected that the cow was lazy and shirking its duties, and today she finally found the evidence.
Immediately, his eyes turned dangerous as he looked at the ox. "Work hard, or you'll regret it if you don't finish picking the corn tonight."
