After a hearty barbecue dinner, Chi Xingyue returned to Qingfengyuan with tired steps.
After washing up, I lay on the bed and prepared to enter the space. Then I heard someone knocking on the door.
Chi Xingyue quickly stood up and ran to open the door.
Baozhu came into the room with several maids and put all the boxes that she had asked to be sent to the warehouse on the table.
"Mom?" Chi Xingyue looked at Shu Muyun doubtfully.
Shu Muyun took her hand and walked into the house: "Since it is a gift from your neighbors, you can use it with confidence. There is no reason to send it to the warehouse.
Mother now controls the financial power of the Ling family, so she can still make this decision. Just relax and continue!"
Chi Xingyue asked worriedly, "The profit margin of the vegetable store is limited. I'm afraid we can't afford to repay the neighbor aunties!"
Shu Muyun chuckled: "You're not as exaggerated as you think!
Don't worry, I have plenty of money. If you really can't come up with anything good, I'll borrow it from you and I'll pay you interest.
Anyway, I won’t let you suffer any loss!"
Chi Xingyue reached out and hugged the other person, thinking that it was such a blessing to have a mother-in-law who cared about her wholeheartedly.
The next sentence was: "Mom, I just hope that you and Heng'er are doing well and can give birth to a child soon."
Chi Xingyue: "..."
Unable to bear to reject Shu Muyun's kindness, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely get pregnant next year."
Shu Muyun got her promise and left with a smile.
Chi Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that after three and a half years of marriage, it was time to consider getting pregnant and having children.
But she was still very young. This body wasn't even twenty years old.
Do you really want to be a mother at the best age?
This question is so difficult.
Chi Xingyue blew out the oil lamp and took the box into the space.
Then I wrote a letter to Ling Jiheng, and he replied immediately.
"Oh my god, my wife, you are so amazing!
I have only been a scholar for a few days, and you have already become a county lady.
Awesome, so awesome! "
"Wife, you don't know that your name has spread throughout Changhe Academy!
Everyone admires you for discovering sweet potatoes, a crop that benefits both the country and the people.
Praise you for being as good as men.
Wife, I really want everyone to know that the Princess of Le'an belongs to my family!"
Chi Xingyue's eyebrows curved: "You better keep a low profile!
The emperor did not give you this false honor, so he must have entrusted you with an important task.
You behave well and don’t let him down.”
Ling Jiheng sent a note a moment later: "I know, I just miss you, I miss you so much!"
Chi Xingyue didn't reply to the letter, but sent him a lot of food.
Not only are there various fruits passing through the small space.
And the next day, Yinbao made a special trip to deliver a few watermelons and a basket of strawberries to the academy.
As a result, before Yinbao returned, someone came from the palace.
The eunuch came back and said that the emperor had tasted the watermelons of the Ling family and liked them very much, and wanted to purchase from the Ling family.
But how much did the Ling family grow? Even if they sent it all to the palace, it wouldn’t be enough to eat.
Moreover, Chi Xingyue didn't really want to do business with the royal family. He was afraid that thieves would take advantage of the situation and bring disaster upon himself.
The old lady also had the same idea and immediately made her attitude clear: "Why spend money? Our Ling family is the royal back garden."
Then he invited the eunuch to the place where watermelons were grown, let him take a look at the yield himself, and then pick the ripe ones and send them to the palace.
The old lady also gave the other party two handfuls of seeds: "I heard that the Minister of Agriculture is in charge of money and grain. I believe he can grow these seeds well."
The young eunuch understood and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will definitely give these seeds to His Majesty!"
The old lady watched the young eunuch leave, feeling lost.
Her family's business, the gold nuggets she made from earning money, were all gone just like that.
Although losing money can avoid disaster, I still feel cold.
Chi Xingyue comforted her: "Grandma, it's okay. Next year, when watermelons are grown on the royal farm, we can sell them in Shangjing City.
Even though we didn't make any money this year, we were able to spread our reputation. Next year, I'm sure people will book in advance without any promotion!"
After hearing this, the old lady felt much better.
But she didn't expect that there was something that made her even happier.
When Emperor Zhou heard that Old Lady Ling had sent watermelon seeds from her home to the palace, his favorable impression of the Ling family grew rapidly.
He also drafted an imperial edict to praise the Ling family's dedication and awarded them many valuable gifts.
Chi Xingyue looked at the dazzling array of treasures and felt like she had made a fortune.
They are all honors. Although they cannot be sold, they are symbols of status.
The Ling family is nearby and is becoming very popular.
On June 23, Ling Jiheng returned.
As soon as he got off the ox cart, he was teased: "Boy, you are the husband of the county lady now, your value has doubled!"
Ling Jiheng nodded happily: "Yes, from now on I have to live my life according to my wife's mood!"
His words were full of pride, and he had no sense of shame at being outshined by his wife.
The people around gave a thumbs-up and watched Ling Jiheng enter the yard before dispersing.
Huang Minbo patted his chest in shock: "What, the Princess of Le'an County is my sister-in-law?"
Ling Jiheng rolled his eyes: "What else?"
"No, you're too calm!
There are so many people discussing this in the academy, but you just stay out of it and keep silent.
Aren't you afraid that if everyone finds out, they'll beat you up?"
Ling Jiheng raised his eyebrows: "I am the county lady's man now, who dares?
At worst, treat them to a meal."
Huang Minbo admired Chi Xingyue more than envied her. The moment he saw her, he bent down and knelt.
