Su Wenyue was only concerned about her seed at this time, and didn't notice the undercurrent between the two men at all. However, she was still a little dissatisfied with Han Yu's behavior of intercepting her halfway. She wanted to pry open the arms around her waist, but unfortunately that little bit of strength was of no use. Su Wenyue didn't want to waste time on this and looked at Su Hengxuan.
"Brother, how many seeds are there? Brother, I want to plant a lot. You have to give me more. It's a good thing. Not only can I plant it myself, but our family can also plant it. And the sweet potatoes, which you brought back last time to roast for me, you have to give me more too."
"Of course it's not a problem. Although it takes some effort to transport them back from Fanwai by sea, I will pick whatever you want, even if it's the stars in the sky. Just wait. But Yueyue, can you tell me what's so special about these two Fanwai crops? You took so much trouble to get them to me and plant them on the farm. It must not just be for eating, but there must be other uses, right?"
Not only Su Hengxuan, Han Yu was also very curious about why Su Wenyue asked Su Hengxuan to go to so much trouble to get these seeds from foreign vassal states. He didn't know what they were, and he couldn't see if these two crops had any other uses besides being eaten. Could they be used as medicinal materials?
"Don't underestimate sweet potatoes and corn. Although they look ordinary, they are high-yield crops. The grain production in our Daimyo Dynasty is low. If the court is stable and there is no war, the people can barely maintain their families in addition to paying taxes and will not go hungry. Once a war breaks out, the court will collect military rations, taxes will increase, and food will be in short supply. At present, the chaos in our Daimyo Dynasty is obvious, and war is inevitable. If we can grow these two crops in large quantities, then..."
Su Wenyue stopped talking here. Han Yu and Su Hengxuan were both smart people among smart people. They understood everything immediately. How could they not understand? They must have thought of many things related to it. There was no need for her to waste her breath on them.
"Little sister, did you know this in your dream?" Su Hengxuan said with certainty. He had seen his little sister grow up, and she had never seen such foreign things. He could not think of any other possibility except in the dream described by his little sister.
There was nothing to hide. Su Wenyue nodded readily, confirming Su Hengxuan's thoughts: "Yes, you don't know that the court at that time was in chaos for years, starving people were everywhere, and there was an extreme lack of food. The people were living in dire straits. Emperor Wu's favorite concubine, Concubine Li, somehow learned about these two crops and presented them to Emperor Wu, solving the problem of the victims. She made a great contribution and not only won praise from court officials and the people, but was also named Concubine Li by Emperor Wu. She was in great glory, only lower than the empress."
Su Wenyue concluded: "So, this is definitely a good thing. Concubine Li can use it to be promoted to Concubine Li. If you make good use of it, you may also be promoted and make a fortune, hehe."
"Shh, keep your voice down, you are just making random remarks like that!"
Han Yu and Su Hengxuan saw Su Wenyue telling the truth without hiding anything, carefree and without any guard at all, a look of helplessness appeared on their faces. They looked around at the same time, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one around.
"Little sister, you should be more careful! We are still in the Daming Dynasty, and the ruler has not been replaced yet. You keep calling him Emperor Wu and Concubine Li. This is against taboo. If anyone hears it, you will be guilty of a capital crime. Don't mention these things so casually in the future. Do you hear me?" Su Hengxuan lectured Su Wenyue in a bad mood. He was helpless about his sister's temper and could only ask Han Yu to take care of her more.
"I understand, and I won't do it again next time." Su Wenyue also knew that she was careless. Because of the presence of Han Yu and Su Hengxuan, she subconsciously relaxed her vigilance, which led to her speaking so recklessly.
Han Yu saw that Su Wenyue had already been taught a lesson by Su Hengxuan, so he didn't say anything. He was not as worried as Su Hengxuan. After all, based on his understanding of his wife during these days of getting along, although his wife was sometimes stupid and heartless, she was very cautious and guarded against people. It was because she was too relaxed in front of her trusted relatives at this time that she became a little stupid. However, this also showed that this girl was still a silly girl who was kind and affectionate at heart. It was only because of that dream that she changed into what she is now. That's why sometimes she would have two completely different feelings of simplicity and complexity.
Whenever he saw the vicissitudes and sadness on Su Wenyue's body, Han Yu couldn't help but feel distressed. In the dream, this silly girl must have suffered a lot. However, as for what happened in Su Wenyue's dream, both Su Hengxuan and Han Yu only knew the part that Su Wenyue wanted them to know. Su Wenyue refused to reveal more even if she wanted to know more.
"By the way, husband, why are you here so early? Are you really here to take me back to the Han family? I'm living comfortably here and don't want to go back for the time being. Just let me stay for a few more days! Wang Qianru is not an easy woman to deal with. Her elder brother hasn't paid off his gambling debts yet, and I'm afraid she's still eyeing me. Mother is now leaning towards her for the sake of her grandson, and I won't compromise. So it's better not to go back yet, so as to avoid having an unpleasant argument with mother because of Wang's matter. It's embarrassing for you to be caught in the middle, isn't it?"
In the end, Su Wenyue just didn't want to go back. Han Yu understood and sympathized with Su Wenyue's feelings. He touched Su Wenyue's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not here to pick you up. You've always wanted to go to the city to play. How about I take you to the city to play today? Today is the big market day, and the city must be very lively."
"Really?! Haha, I want to go, I want to go, let's set off now." When Su Wenyue heard that Han Yu wanted to take her to visit the city, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
Although Su Wenyue was raised by the Su family and loved like a baby, she was also subject to many restrictions since she was a child. Especially since Su Wenyue was a girl and was pretty and cute, her family was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to go out, so they restricted her right to leave the house. She seldom went out to play, and even if she did, she had to be accompanied by her family.
It was only after she married into the Han family that the restrictions in this regard were relaxed. Farmers don't care much about these things. In her previous life, Su Wenyue had the most freedom during her time at the Han family, although her life was not very satisfactory. Later, when she entered the mansion, the rules there were very strict. A concubine like her could only stay in the inner courtyard and could not even enter and exit the outer courtyard at will, let alone go out of the mansion. She was trapped in that square world for half her life and had only gone out a few times. It can be seen how much she yearned for the outside world.
