When she first returned to the capital, Gu Yuanniang stayed in Nangong Jin's residence, looking a little listless. It was unknown what she was thinking about. She was a little surprised when she saw Xu Miaomiao. She looked her up and down before saying, "You've only been gone for five or six days, why do you feel darker?"
Xu Miaomiao did not speak, but said to Gu Yuanniang: "I bought the seeds back."
"Okay, in that case, let's go back to Bai County now. I believe those people will be happy when they see these seeds. Oh, and there is one more good thing I want to tell you."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao raised her head slightly, but Gu Yuanniang looked at Lu Yun and Xu Xi beside her, and then she slowly said, "Lu Yun took the palace examination a few days ago, and the emperor was very satisfied with her and let him stay in the capital to serve as an official."
"Since you are so amazing, congratulations."
"Then you have to think clearly about who you are congratulating. Are you congratulating Lu Yun for passing the exam? Or are you congratulating our Xu Xi for getting married?"
Xu Miaomiao was so puzzled when she heard this that she almost tilted her head. Gu Yuanniang then pulled Xu Miaomiao aside and looked at the two boxes on the ground: "These are the betrothal gifts sent by Mr. Lu. We should prepare a generous dowry for Xu Xin."
Listening to Gu Yuanniang's words, Xu Miaomiao nodded naturally: "Of course, this is necessary, but..."
When Xu Miaomiao said this, she hesitated for a moment. Although Lu Yun had already made the list, would the Nanxiang Lu family really let her go so easily?
Gu Yuanniang also knew her worries, so she said, "This matter is all thanks to Nangong Xianggong. Nangong Xianggong knew that Lu Yun and Xiaoxi were interested in each other, so he begged the emperor to grant them marriage. Now, no one can break up their marriage."
"That's great."
"Yes, and the emperor heard Xiaoxi's pipa skills and asked her to teach etiquette and music in the palace. I want to see who still looks down on us now."
Xu Xi and Gu Yuan's mother saw them and said with a smile, Xu Miaomiao also nodded: "Even so, we still have to go home early. Since Xiao Xi is already working in the palace, why don't we stay in the capital? They are both men and women, so we should be separated. Don't give others the opportunity to talk about us."
When Xu Xi heard this, she nodded with red cheeks, not daring to look at Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao also smiled, and after saying goodbye to Nangong Jin, she left with Gu Yuanniang.
Now, people in Bai County are all waiting for their seeds. Hearing that Xu Miaomiao had returned, the leaders of various places gathered together. Xu Miaomiao quickly distributed the seeds and asked everyone to plant them in their own fields early. After this year, they would know the answer to whether it would be successful or not.
Perhaps because she was always thinking about this matter, Xu Miaomiao was a little restless. From time to time, she wanted to check on the fields. From Wangjia Village to Mi Village and then to Shui Village, she wanted to visit every place. When passing by Wangjia Village, she would go up the mountain to see Dahu. Dahu was getting plumper now. Even in winter, it had no worries about food and drink. Li Yi and Dabao wanted to feed it from time to time and go up the mountain to see it. It was difficult for these two children, who were in their youth, but now they couldn't even go back to the capital.
Although Xu Miaomiao didn't understand why Nangong Jin did this, she also knew that Nangong Jin definitely didn't do this because he had a grudge against them. It must be a way of protecting her.
Because there were the prince's men watching him, Song Wushao would idle around from time to time. But Xu Miaomiao didn't know what he was doing secretly. She just looked at the light in his study, which would always go off late at night.
Perhaps, because of the farming together, the people in Bai County felt a lot closer.
Xu Miaomiao was naturally happy too. Seeing this scene, no matter where she went, people would greet her warmly. She just hoped that it would be the same next year when this thing was found. Xu Miaomiao carefully checked the crops. She was obviously not good at this, but now she has become good at it. She would check on them from time to time, but was always a little worried. It was not until some tender sprouts appeared in the soil that Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.
After this winter, then summer, and until autumn, the tender shoots grew taller and taller, and some had already produced small fruits. Looking at these mangoes, Xu Miaomiao was also happy in her heart. Gu Yuanniang beside her also asked curiously: "What do you think this mango tastes like? But only the royal nobles can eat it. I didn't expect that now we can taste the same thing. Then others will definitely be able to sell it for a good price."
Listening to what Gu Niang said, Xu Miaomiao smiled but didn't say anything. It was true that she wanted to sell it for a good price, but she wanted more than that. Now she was growing things that people in the south couldn't grow. She just hoped that everyone could pay attention to the development of Bai County and stop thinking that Bai County was just a poor place. If everyone knew what Xu Miaomiao was thinking, they would naturally be very happy.
You would wander around the orchard from time to time, and you were naturally happy to see these things. You would return to the mansion at night, and your life would continue as usual, until one day, Song Wushao sat in the house, holding her hand, and said seriously, "I'm going to leave for a while."
"Where are we going this time?"
Xu Miaomiao was puzzled when she saw Song Wushao said that he was going to leave when the Crown Prince came to Bai County before. Did he leave now? Xu Miaomiao became dissatisfied and a little worried, so she looked at Song Wushao and asked.
"I'm afraid there will be another storm in the capital. If I'm not here, the Fifth Prince will be isolated and helpless. I'm afraid all the hard work we've put in over the past few years will be in vain. Just wait for me for a while. I promise this will be the last time."
Xu Miaomiao felt relieved by Song Wushao's solemn words, but she still held his hand and said carefully: "Then you must promise me to protect your comfort."
Listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, Gu Yuanniang nodded seriously, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, your husband is such a smart man, how could he put his life in danger? Listen..."
After hearing Song Wushao's assurance, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him. This man kept saying that she always did something dangerous. It was obviously her who did something dangerous every time, but she didn't tell her what he did, which made Xu Miaomiao worried all day long.
