Liu Tangxi slept very well this time.

The next morning, she got up early.

Before, when she was in the capital, she got up a little late, but now that she was in the suburbs of the capital and with Yin, she got up very early.

After a simple wash and grooming, she went to cook for Yin.

As soon as Yin got up, she saw her daughter bringing her breakfast. She said thank you for her daughter's hard work, but there was a smile on her face and in her eyes.

After dinner, Madam Shao gathered all the people in the farm and announced Yin's decision.

After dinner, Liu Tangxi went to deal with things.

After getting to know the people and understanding what each person does, Liu Tangxi let them get back to work.

Next, she left Deputy Manager Zhang behind and took a look at the account book.

The more I watched, the angrier I got.

Not only is the fruit production low, the grain production is also low.

"Why is the yield so low?" Liu Tangxi asked with a frown.

Manager Zhang knew why Manager Wang was punished, so he did not dare to be careless and quickly replied seriously, "I didn't know that either. We have always had so much produce on our land."

Has it always been this low? But she remembered that the land of the third elder Wei's family was higher than this. They were all good farmland, but the difference was too big. Not to say that it was higher than the land of the third elder Wei's family, but it should be about the same.

Is it possible that the output in Beijing is very low?

"Compared with other companies?" Liu Tangxi asked calmly.

Manager Zhang glanced at Liu Tangxi and replied cautiously, "It's a little lower than the Rui'an Marquis's Mansion next door, but about the same as the Prince Jin's Mansion."

"The manor of Prince Jian's palace is also nearby?" Liu Tangxi asked in surprise.

Manager Zhang said, "Yes, our land to the east is adjacent to Prince Jian's Palace."

Because of what happened on the way here, Liu Tangxi got to know Prince Jian a little. She knew that Prince Jian stayed in his fiefdom all year round, and only the young prince was in the capital. How could the young prince take care of so many things?

Yin was obviously not a person who cared much about the output of the farm.

So, both of them are very low.

Alas, the Yin family is not short of money and never cares about such mundane matters.

But we can't just sit there and do nothing, right?

Moreover, why not make the money that can be made, and why not increase grain production?

As Yin's only daughter, she always has to consider Yin's future.

Yin has only one daughter and no sons, so the one who will inherit the marquisate in the future will definitely be a concubine's son.

Yin has always been mean to her illegitimate son, and no one knows how the illegitimate son will treat Yin when he becomes the head of the family.

Therefore, she had to let Yin save more money so that she could be more confident.

Besides, if we don’t take care of these things now, who knows if the people under us will do something even more outrageous in the future.

"Who is in charge of the output from the fields?" Liu Tangxi asked.

Manager Zhang quickly said, "It's Manager Wang's brother-in-law."

After hearing this, Liu Tangxi had a guess. However, she wanted to ask a few more questions to avoid wrongly accusing anyone.

"How old?"

"In my twenties."

"He's so young, and he's good at farming?"

"No, I heard that he studied for a few years, but failed the exam, so he came to seek refuge with Manager Wang."

After hearing this, what else did Liu Tangxi not understand?

The most urgent task is to find an experienced farmer who knows how to farm.

Her golden finger can only make the taste better, but it cannot change the production. If the production can be increased while the taste is improved, it would be even better.

At this moment, Liu Tangxi suddenly wanted to let Wei Laosan and his family come to Beijing.

Wei Lao San's family were all honest people, and Wei Lao San was also good at farming. If she let him take care of the land, she would feel more at ease. However, Wei Lao San was still her father-in-law after all. If people knew that she let her father-in-law take charge of the land, she didn't know what others would say.

However, she could take them in and enjoy them.

This matter cannot be rushed. She has to see how the Third Prince and Liu Luan'an treat her before making any plans.

"Go find some experienced farmers who know how to farm, and some fruit farmers," said Liu Tangxi.

"yes."

Although Liu Tangxi only asked a few questions, Manager Zhang knew that she was not someone as easy to fool as Yin, and she also attached great importance to the output of the land. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off.

If you want to take care of it, you should go and take a look.

So, Liu Tangxi, accompanied by maids and nannies, took a carriage to see the entire farm.

After seeing it, I couldn't help but sigh that the whole village is bigger than Weijia Village.

Before the right old farmer came, Liu Tangxi planned to tidy up the farm first.

At this time, in the capital, in the palace.

The news about Liu Tangxi was widely spread in the capital, and Emperor You naturally heard some of it.

Thinking of how he had previously suggested that Wei Hanzhou divorce his wife, Emperor You deliberately kept Marquis Huai'en and Wei Hanzhou after the morning court session.

He naturally comforted Huai Enhou and rewarded Liu Tangxi with many good things.

As for Wei Hanzhou, he changed his previous disgust and praised his integrity.

After giving the rewards, Emperor You asked Marquis Huai'en to leave, leaving Wei Hanzhou behind.

During the palace examination, Emperor You took a liking to Wei Hanzhou at first sight and found him pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, the ministers agreed with him and all thought that Wei Hanzhou was talented and could be the top scorer.

Later, he was refuted by Wei Hanzhou at a palace banquet, and he began to dislike Wei Hanzhou.

But now that his wife has become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, Emperor You finds him much more pleasing to the eye, much better than the second and third place winners who are average-looking and dull.

"Mr. Wei's handwriting is quite good. I will meet the Minister of Personnel later. You can copy it aside."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Hanzhou responded respectfully.

Liu Tangxi soon received a reward from Emperor You.

Looking at the good things given by Emperor You, Liu Tangxi was naturally very happy.

However, after the joy, she still had to do what she had to do.

She had already started to dislike this manor yesterday.

Such a large farm, but with a lot of useless flowers and plants growing there, and a large part of it is just weeds.

Such a big house, why not plant something?

All these corners and crevices together occupy about two acres of land.

If I could grow vegetables, I would definitely be able to supply the entire mansion.

However, looking at Yin's elegant appearance, Liu Tangxi felt that if he turned the entire house into a vegetable garden, it would not be in line with Yin's temperament.

So, Liu Tangxi thought of another way to make more money.

However, I have never tried this method before, so I don’t know if it will succeed.

The fruits she touched were sweet, the grains were delicious, and the vegetables grew well. So, what about the flowers?

If she could make flowers grow beautifully, wouldn't she be able to make more money from them than from fruits and vegetables?

Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi asked the servants in the house to remove all the dead flowers and plants, pull out all the weeds, turn over the land, and replant other flowers.

Not only that, we also found two more flower growers.

Originally there were two flower growers in the farm, now there are four.

Perhaps only Liu Tangxi knew what was in her mind.

When Yin saw her planting flowers, she thought that she felt that this place was not beautiful enough, so she opened a large flower field at home. She also privately praised her for her ability and good taste to Madam Shao.

Even though there were many people on the farm, it still took three days to tidy up the yard and plant the flowers.

She has touched all these seedlings or seeds, hoping that they will grow better and survive.

Seeing that there was no wasted space in the entire manor, Liu Tangxi went to cook dinner with satisfaction.

In the past few days, in addition to cleaning up the manor, Liu Tangxi also listened to Yin and Nanny Shao talk a lot about the Marquis's Mansion and the nobles in the capital.

After dinner, Liu Tangxi was taking a walk with Yin when he saw a maid coming over with a letter.

"Miss, the concierge said that the aunt asked Prince Jian to send you a letter."

When Liu Tangxi heard that Wei Hanzhou had sent her a letter, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she stared at the letter in the old woman's hand with burning eyes.

Seeing her daughter so happy, Yin shook her head helplessly and said to the maid, "Please invite the prince in for a cup of tea."

The old woman said, "The prince may have something urgent to do, so he left after leaving the letter."

Yin nodded and asked Madam Shao, "I remember that the manor of the Jin Wang family is right next to us, right?"

Madam Shao smiled and said, "Yes, Madam, you are right."

"I'll have someone send some fruits over tomorrow morning to express my gratitude."

"Yes, ma'am."

Liu Tangxi's attention had long been on the letter, and he was not paying attention to the conversation here.

After receiving the letter, I was about to open it when I suddenly remembered that there were other people here.

Yin said considerately, "Okay, go back and check, it's getting dark outside."

Liu Tangxi smiled and nodded, and after saying a few words to Yin, he returned to his room.

After returning to the house, Liu Tangxi opened the letter.

The content of the letter was simple as always.

"My husband has recovered, my lady, please don't worry. The garlic you planted in the yard has sprouted, I wonder when you will be home?"

Liu Tangxi smiled widely and thought, who cares whether you are well or not, you are just being sentimental.

"The garlic sprouts taste great. You can ask Auntie Chen to scramble eggs for you. Although my mother is feeling better, she still needs to rest. I won't be back for the time being. You stay home and behave yourself. If I find you not coming home all day when I return, don't blame me for being rude."

After writing the reply, Liu Tangxi also drew two little people on the back.

A woman stood with her hands on her hips, and a man knelt among the thorns.

Liu Tangxi slept very well at night and smiled in his dreams.

As for what I dreamed about, I couldn't remember anything when I woke up the next morning.

At 12:00 a.m., the sky was slightly bright and Liu Tangxi got up.

After washing and dressing up, Liu Tangxi called Manager Zhang over.

"Go find two clever servants and bring them here."

"Yes, girl."

Liu Tangxi went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Today she plans to make soup dumplings.

This was not something she came up with just now. She wanted to make it yesterday, and the pork jelly to be added to the soup bag was already ready.

While they were preparing the stuffing, Manager Zhang came over with two servants.

Liu Tangxi's men were busy, and he ordered, "You two go to various places in the capital to find out the prices of vegetables in various markets, and write them down."

After saying that, Liu Tangxi suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, do you know how to read?"

One nodded and said he knew the words, while the other shook his head in shame.

Liu Tangxi was just about to suggest changing one, but when she saw the expression on the boy's face, she felt a little reluctant.

"If you can't read, how good is your memory? If you don't need paper and pen to record, it's fine if you can just remember it in your head."

"I have the best memory." The servant said hurriedly.

Liu Tangxi thought that this was not an important matter, so he said, "Okay, then you two can do it. Remember, no discussion is allowed, just do your own thing, I will ask about it when I get back. Manager Zhang, give each of them a dollar of silver."

Upon hearing this, the two servants' eyes lit up.

I didn't expect it to be such a good job.

Their monthly salary on the farm was only five yuan, which was often deducted by the manager Wang, so they only got three or four yuan.

Liu Tangxi had no idea what the servants were thinking. She wiped her hands, took out the letter from her arms, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to the illiterate servant.

Being illiterate has its advantages: you don't have to worry about others peeking at you.

"What is your name?"

"The younger one's name is Gousheng."

Dog leftovers...

Liu Tangxi was stunned for a moment.

Manager Zhang took a look at Liu Tangxi's face and immediately scolded her, "What are you talking about? How can you use such a dirty name to tarnish the young lady's ears?"

Gousheng shivered with fear.

Dirty name?

This is better than Goudan anyway, right?

Liu Tangxi glanced at Manager Zhang and said, "My parents gave me this name. How can it be dirty? Don't scold him."

Gou Sheng was also smart. When he heard Liu Tangxi say this, he immediately said, "This name was given to me casually by Manager Wang. Please give me the name, young lady."

Liu Tangxi didn't want to change his name, but the word "dog" in it was a bit too similar to Wei Hanzhou's. Besides, the name was indeed a bit random. Since it was chosen by Manager Wang, she might as well change it for him.

What should I call it?

Liu Tangxi looked up at the place in the east where the sun rises and said, "Then you can be called Dongsheng. Okay?"

Gousheng immediately knelt on the ground to express his gratitude, "Thank you for the name, young lady. From now on, I will be called Dongsheng."

"Hurry up and give this letter to Wei Xiuzhuan of the Hanlin Academy after you go to the capital."

"Yes, girl." Dongsheng responded with a smile.

She had wanted to know the prices clearly a long time ago, so that she would have a clear idea and not be deceived by others. However, she had someone check it out early this morning, inevitably out of selfish motives, wanting someone to pass the letter to Wei Hanzhou.

Liu Tangxi cooks very quickly and the soup dumplings are steamed quickly.

At the same time, she started making shrimp dumplings again.

Before noon, Liu Tangxi had steamed six baskets of soup dumplings and four baskets of shrimp dumplings.

After finishing, Liu Tangxi asked someone to take some to the main courtyard.

At this moment, Yin had already gotten up. She smelled the delicious aroma, swallowed her saliva, and said to Madam Shao with a smile, "Smell it. It smells really good. I wonder what delicious food she made."

Liu Tangxi smiled and said, "My daughter didn't do anything. She just steamed some buns and dumplings. Mom, please eat them while they're hot."

Soon, the maid opened a basket of soup dumplings and a basket of shrimp dumplings and placed them on the table, with dipping sauce on the side.

"My daughter was thinking, since the Prince of Jin sent me a letter yesterday, I made some extra today and wanted to send it to them as a thank-you gift. I wonder if this is in accordance with the rules?"

Yin smiled, exchanged a glance with Madam Shao, and joked, "I thought you had forgotten about this matter after receiving the letter yesterday."

Liu Tangxi's face turned slightly red.

Madam Shao smiled and said, "Yesterday, Madam said she would send some fruits to the prince as a token of her gratitude."

"Then let's have someone deliver the fruits and buns together." Yin said.

"Okay, I'll go there myself," said Madam Shao.

"Okay."

"Mammy, remember to remind the prince not to get scalded when eating the soup dumplings." Liu Tangxi said.

She was about to continue talking about how to eat it, but she heard Madam Shao say with a smile, "We also have soup dumplings in the capital, maybe you forgot. But I will definitely tell the prince later."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi felt relieved.

After Nanny Shao left, Liu Tangxi and Yin sat down to eat.

Yin had known her daughter's cooking skills these days. She looked at the soup dumpling in front of her, picked it up and started eating.

She ate three in one go before stopping and said with emotion, "Your cooking skills are really good. Did anyone teach you at his house?"

Liu Tangxi shook his head. “No.”

"Yeah, his family is so poor, how could anyone know this?"

Liu Tangxi rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe it's innate. I used to eat a lot of delicious food with my mother, but I was too lazy to cook. Now I can cook it as soon as I get the hang of it. I used to think I was the cook at home."

Yin's face suddenly became serious. "How is that possible? You are not a cook, you are a girl from our mansion."

Liu Tangxi smiled, picked up a bun for Yin, and changed the subject, "Mother, have this. Try the shrimp dumplings to see if they are delicious. This is the first time my daughter has made them."

After hearing this, Yin's attention was diverted. She picked up the bun and started eating it, nodding as she ate and praising her daughter's cooking skills.

After eating a few more dumplings and drinking a bowl of egg soup, Yin was full.

Based on her appetite, she normally couldn't eat so much, but the food her daughter cooked was so delicious.

She could feel that she had gained weight recently.

However, she is older and fatter, but seeing her daughter happy makes her satisfied.

Yin took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth and hands, then watched her daughter eat.

Thinking that her daughter had lost her memory, Yin thought for a moment and asked, "Xixi, do you still remember Prince Jian's Mansion?"

In the past few days, she has told her daughter a lot about the nobles in the capital, but happened not to mention Prince Jin's Mansion, so today is the perfect time to talk about it.

Liu Tangxi raised his head, shook it, and said, "I don't have any impression of it."

She actually still remembered it, but what she remembered was the Prince Jin's Mansion in the book, and she couldn't remember why she remembered it.

Since Yin wanted to speak, she might as well listen.

Yin waved her hand and asked everyone in the room to leave.

"The late emperor married two empresses. The first empress had no children, and the second empress gave birth to a son, and that son is His Royal Highness Prince Jian."

Liu Tangxi was suddenly startled, and felt that the bun in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

Prince Jian is the legitimate son of the late emperor?

What about the emperor now?

Liu Tangxi had already imagined a grand drama of seizing the throne in his mind.

Soon, Yin explained the puzzle to her.

"The Emperor is the eldest son of the late Emperor. When the late Emperor passed away, Prince Jian had just married a young concubine and had no children. The Emperor is more than ten years older than Prince Jian and already has three sons. Moreover, the Emperor has many supporters in the court. Therefore, the late Emperor passed the throne to his eldest son."

Seeing that her daughter didn't want to eat anymore, Yin gave her another bun.

After putting down her chopsticks, Yin continued, "After the emperor ascended the throne, he changed his previous behavior, and many ministers were dissatisfied with him. When Prince Jin was born, there were more and more voices in the court who were dissatisfied with the emperor, and some people began to support Prince Jin. After a few years, the emperor gave Prince Jin a fiefdom and sent him to the north."

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi was stunned for a moment, and something seemed to flash through his mind.

"The Crown Prince stayed in the capital, while Prince Jin and Princess Jin went to the north. A few years ago, a neighboring country invaded, and Prince Jin fought with it for three years and defeated it. Not only that, he also occupied a piece of the neighboring country's territory, and Prince Jin had more and more soldiers. There were memorials in the court impeaching Prince Jin. Last month, Prince Jin was recalled to the capital by the emperor."

Liu Tangxi stared at the bun in front of him in a daze and swallowed it unconsciously.

It wasn't until the hot juice splashed all over her mouth that she realized what she had eaten.

She really didn't know whether to spit it out or not. Her face was flushed red and tears were streaming.

Yin was also frightened by her daughter's reaction and quickly asked her to spit it out.

But Liu Tangxi was used to being frugal, and the dish contained lean meat, which was very expensive, so she couldn't bear to part with it.

Seeing that she didn't vomit, Yin quickly asked someone to bring cold water.

By the time the cold water was brought over, Liu Tangxi had already eaten the bun.

Yin couldn't help but ask, "You kid, why don't you vomit it out when I told you to?"

"It's too expensive. It's a waste to spit it out." Liu Tangxi said honestly.

After hearing this explanation, Yin's eyes suddenly turned red and she said, "How expensive can it be? Even if a bun is worth a thousand taels, it will burn you and your body will suffer."

Liu Tangxi thought that she would not be willing to spit out this bun even if it was worth one penny, let alone one thousand taels. If it was really worth one thousand taels, she would definitely sell it instead of eating it.

"It's okay, it's okay. My daughter is fine." Liu Tangxi comforted Yin.

Yin couldn't help but sigh again and scolded her a few words.

Liu Tangxi responded with a smile and said nothing.

After a while, Nanny Shao came back.

"It turned out that the prince and the princess were both at the manor. I asked them a few more questions and they said that the prince admired your talent and went to ask you a question, so your aunt gave him the letter."

"Well, it's good that it's been delivered. There are still a lot of buns on the stove. They won't taste good if they get cold. Go and eat them quickly." Yin said.

"Oh, thank you ma'am, thank you miss."

Liu Tangxi thought, she finally remembered why she was familiar with the name King Jian, and why she couldn't remember it.

She remembered that the Prince Jian mentioned in the book was actually the Prince Jian's son.

When the fight between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince was at its most intense, this prince also joined in, standing on the Crown Prince's side and fighting against the Third Prince.

Unfortunately, the Crown Prince's goal was to ascend the throne himself, but this was exposed by the Third Prince and the heroine, and the alliance between the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince collapsed in an instant.

The reason why the prince became the prince was because his father, Prince Jian, the only legitimate son of the previous emperor, was assassinated on his way to Beijing.

In other words, what the guard said before his death that day was not false, he really poisoned King Jian.

If Prince Jian drank the tea, the guards would take out a knife and stab him to death when he was not prepared.

So, she saved King Jian invisibly?

Thinking of the father and daughter he met on the way to Beijing, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt so magical.

"Mother, how powerful is Prince Jian now?" Liu Tangxi asked in a low voice.

Yin frowned slightly, not understanding what her daughter meant.

"Compared with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince?" Liu Tangxi asked again.

Yin laughed and said, "Prince Jian has a large army under his command. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are just newcomers. How can they compare with him?"

Hearing this, Liu Tangxi's heart began to beat faster.

What a powerful person she saved.
