If Yan Bao wants to plant fruit trees, she must discuss it with Madam Shen and Prime Minister Shen. She is still a child, and she, a six-year-old girl, cannot make the decision on these matters.
When Chief Minister Shen and Madam Shen saw Yan Bao's handwritten plan, they were stunned. They didn't expect that Yan Bao, who came from heaven, was different. At such a young age, without studying hard, he could write a plan of several thousand words.
Shen Shoufu couldn't help but nod after seeing it.
Very well written!
My daughter is indeed a genius.
Mrs. Shen was almost moved to tears when she heard Yan Bao's heartfelt words: "Mom likes to eat navel oranges and apples. Plant more crispy and sweet apples, and cherries. When the big cherries come out, Mom will definitely like them too."
With such a good daughter, how could Mrs. Shen not support her decision to plant fruit trees?
Mrs. Shen said without a word: “Mom will help you.”
Yan Bao was overjoyed and hugged her mother, kissing and hugging her. She was so sweet that Shen Shoufu was jealous. Not wanting to be left behind, he said, "Dad will help you too. I'll send someone to greet the places you wrote about and find a good hill for you to plant fruit trees."
Yan Bao's eyes lit up, she grinned, and threw herself from her mother's arms into her father's arms, acting so coquettishly and cutely.
Shen Shoufu enjoyed his daughter’s compliment, with the corners of his mouth raised.
In this way, Yan Bao left the task of planting fruit trees to his parents. She only needed to copy the precautions and maintenance of the fruit trees so that the people who planted them would know how to take care of them.
Yan Bao didn't know how to plant fruit trees. When he found the fruit trees, he also found a small sign with the precautions for planting fruit trees, as well as the requirements for soil and temperature.
With this, even people who don’t know how to plant will be able to do it.
Yan Bao is still too young, otherwise she would have to go to various places to plant fruit trees by herself.
Don't worry, when the fruit trees are planted, grown into a patch, and harvested, she will have grown up. Then you can visit her several fruit tree bases. For now, you'd better stay in Beijing!
Yan Bao's navel orange saplings were immediately sent by Chief Minister Shen to Yue Lingwan's parents, who were asked to find a hill in the south, and better yet, buy it, and plant fifty saplings.
There is no more Yanbao, but fortunately the saplings can be cultivated and grafted later.
This navel orange is seedless and cannot be planted using seeds.
The other saplings were also arranged.
With Chief Minister Shen coming forward, even if they arrived at the local area, those officials would not dare to make things difficult for them.
The emperor heard from nowhere that Chief Minister Shen was looking for places to plant fruit trees all over the country, so he called him over and asked, "Why, are you going into agriculture?"
Shen Shoufu was ashamed: “This is not Yan Bao’s child. She likes to eat fruits. Thinking that she likes to eat, I planted a few trees myself, so that when she wants to eat, she can go to her own orchard to pick fruits to eat.”
"Are your fruits grown too far afield? I heard you've got navel oranges, apples, cherries, grapes, soft-seeded pomegranates, persimmons, red dates, tangerines, grapefruits, and watermelons growing everywhere?"
Shen Shoufu: "I am guilty."
The emperor raised an eyebrow: "Oh, what is your crime?"
Chief Minister Shen said sincerely: “I shouldn’t be so focused on planting fruit trees and not doing my job. I just want to offer the fruits I grow to the emperor to taste as soon as possible. I have neglected my duties.”
emperor:"......."
Don't think that I don't know that you are deceiving the emperor. What do you mean by "just wanting to give me a taste"? It's obvious that you just want to make Yan Bao happy.
The emperor knew what was going on, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously: "That's enough, this won't happen again."
Shen Shoufu secretly clenched his fists, it was stable, he knew that the dog emperor would fall for this.
The emperor asked again, "When will those fruit trees bear fruit?"
How did Shen Shoufu answer: “About three years.”
The emperor curled his lips and said, "Alright, I'll try to live a few more years and enjoy your kindness for a few more years."
Chief Minister Shen immediately flattered him: "May your Majesty have great fortune and a long life, lasting for thousands of years!"
"Hahaha, I want to too!" The emperor was quite looking forward to the thought of living like a centenarian.
After Chief Minister Shen left, the emperor's smile faded and he said to Lord Fu, "Send someone to follow and see if the Shen family really planted fruit trees or had other purposes."
Eunuch Fu nodded, knowing that the emperor would do this.
On the surface, he was laughing and joking with Prime Minister Shen, but only the emperor himself knew what he was actually thinking.
Just like now.
As soon as the Prime Minister left, they went to investigate him.
Fortunately, two months later, they received accurate information that the Shen family went to all directions and found some seemingly barren places. They bought hilltops and planted fruit trees there, and did not take any other action.
After the emperor knew about it, he was not in a hurry to bring the people back. He asked them to keep watch in the local area, or bribed the local villagers to keep an eye on it to see if the fruit trees were really being planted.
Shen Shoufu is an old fox, how could he just go to so much trouble to plant fruit trees all over the place?
There must be some ulterior motive.
Later, while eating the various fruits sent by the Shen family, the stubborn emperor refused to admit that he was judging others by his own villains. He felt that Chief Minister Shen still had some purpose, for example, he wanted to use fruits to buy people's hearts.
For example, making money!
Of course, this is all later.
. . . . . .
As the selection day was getting closer, Yue Lingwan became very nervous. She suggested to Mrs. Shen that she wanted to go to the most popular temple in the capital to pray and seek peace of mind.
Madam Shen did not refuse, thinking that the scheming scholar Yan Baoxin mentioned was only met after he was eliminated. There should be no problem in going to the temple to worship before being selected, right?
Yan Bao wants to go too.
Ziyun also left.
Ziyun is now teething and doesn't dare to open her mouth to speak, for fear of exposing her missing front teeth, which look so ugly with a hole.
