Chapter 172 She is the Princess of Jiahe County
The Lin family was originally worried about the sales of potatoes, but now they are relieved.
Especially the mashed potatoes, they don’t taste like a dish, but more like a delicious snack.
Lin Zhiyi instructed Lin Luchen to call a dozen hired farmers after dinner to start harvesting potatoes and sweet potatoes.
In order not to expose the space, three cellars were dug in the Lin family yard for storage.
She plans to save all the harvest this year as seeds.
Lin Zhiyi gained experience through the curved plowing experience. Before returning to Chang'an, she wanted to buy more farms and take the planting technology into her own hands.
When Li Wenjing succeeded to the throne, she would contribute these to the court and the people as her dowry.
She had to make plans for herself.
This is to prevent the court officials from making trouble because of her second marriage.
The three Jinwu Guards at the dinner table looked at each other, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and left.
They were going to send a letter to Zhao Zhan, asking Commander Zhao to come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, they could not guarantee that they could help him look after Miss Lin.
After moving from the Lin family to the new house, Zhao Zhan also moved in with three Jinwu Guards.
But the next day, he received a message from above and hurried back to Chang'an.
At that time, I also told Lin Zhiyi that I would be back in a few days.
When Zhao Zhan left, he told his three subordinates that since they were living in the Lin family, they had to help the Lin family with some work.
The three of them naturally knew what Zhao Zhan was thinking.
They originally thought that Zhao Zhan would have hope, but now that Miss Lin has been conferred the title of County Lady, and seeing how she gets along with the deposed Crown Prince, they feel that Zhao Zhan has no hope.
The three returned to the room.
"Hopefully the head will come back soon."
"Yes, if you don't come back soon, Miss Lin will be snatched away by someone else."
They decided to write a letter and send it to Zhao Zhan as soon as possible.
The next day.
Lin Zhiyi is going to the county to see Boss Cui off.
Li Wenjing offered to drive the carriage and came to Cui Ji Iron Shop with her.
Standing at the door of Cui Ji, Lin Zhiyi paused.
She remembered that the first time she walked into this shop was because she had a conflict with the boss across the street, but a few months later, Boss Cui was going to Chang'an to take up a new position.
People always strive for higher goals, and she is happy for Boss Cui.
Looking across...
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyi couldn't help but look across and smiled.
The opponent did not seize this opportunity.
It didn't matter that Lin Zhiyi turned her head, the boss opposite happened to come out and saw Lin Zhiyi at a glance.
Thinking about the fact that she was the one who came to the shop and caused trouble a few months ago.
"You little bitch, just wait for me."
Ever since they came to the shop to cause trouble, his business has become worse and worse, while the shop opposite has become more and more prosperous.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Before they even reached Cui Ji, the two of them had already gone in.
He stamped his feet in anger, "Hmph! Don't think I can do nothing to you just because you're hiding in there."
He walked in, looked inside, and saw no one.
He felt annoyed when he thought about how lucky Mr. Cui was to have gotten into government service.
Lin Zhiyi and Li Wenjing had already been led to the inner courtyard by Boss Cui's wife.
Boss Cui didn't expect Lin Zhiyi to make this trip in person. He bowed and said, "Lord Jiahe."
Boss Cui's wife, Mrs. Du, invited the two to sit down and served them good tea.
"We're here to see you off today. I don't know when we'll see each other next time."
Maybe it will be four or five years later, or maybe two or three years.
"Have you packed everything? Do you want to leave by carriage yourself or hire one?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"Thank you for your concern, my Lord. There is only one carriage at home, and I have decided to leave it to my parents, wife, and children. I can handle anything by myself. I can just hire a carriage and go."
"Well, that's fine. If you run into any trouble when you get to work at the Ministry of Industry, you can write to me. Perhaps I can help you."
Boss Cui agreed.
He had already known the identity of the Lin family, and he did not think Miss Lin was exaggerating when she said that.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Zhiyi stood up and said goodbye.
She didn't come alone today, but with Li Wenjing. Li Wenjing had been sitting there drinking tea and waiting for her.
Lin Zhiyi also considered Li Wenjing and didn't want him to wait too long.
After leaving Cui's Iron Shop, Lin Zhiyi said, "Boss Cui, please stay."
Boss Cui bowed deeply to Lin Zhiyi again to express his gratitude.
"Boss Cui, hurry back and pack your things, we..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard an angry voice: "Stinky girl, I finally caught you!"
Lin Zhiyi frowned.
The owner of the iron shop across the street is really vindictive. No wonder his business is not doing well.
He put all his thoughts into these.
Li Wenjing's face also darkened. When the man was about to grab the corner of Lin Zhiyi's clothes, he was kicked out by Li Wenjing.
The cold shout of "Get out" made everyone around shudder.
The iron shop owner retreated several feet and fell to the ground.
"You, you guys! How dare you... hit me!"
It took him a long time to recover from this kick.
A woman ran over and saw her husband knocked to the ground. She hurriedly helped him up and pointed at Li Wenjing, "You guys actually hit people. Just wait for me!"
The iron shop owner ignored the pain in his body and asked the woman to call someone.
Boss Cui said, "Miss Lin, you go first. I'll take care of the rest."
"No problem."
Lin Zhiyi stood there without moving.
She was afraid that if she left, these people would make things difficult for Boss Cui and his family.
Last time she asked Boss Cui, she was told that the boss opposite was called Wang Dong, who seemed to be a distant relative of the governor, and was used to bullying in this area by relying on the governor.
"You can't leave today. And you, Cui, don't take advantage of the fact that you went to the Ministry of Industry to do whatever you want." said the iron shop boss.
Boss Cui snorted coldly, his eyes filled with mockery. "I'm doing something wrong? Everyone on this street knows you're taking advantage of the Governor's power, claiming you're the nephew of the Governor's cousin's nephew's sister-in-law's aunt's sister-in-law's uncle's husband's uncle. You're using this incredibly close relative for your own good."
The woman quickly called someone over.
More than a dozen people surrounded Lin Zhiyi and others.
Boss Cui asked, "Wang Dong, are you sure you want to cause trouble in front of my door? We in the Cui family are not to be trifled with."
The iron shop owner glared at Boss Cui and said, "I advise you to mind your own business. This is between her and me. It has nothing to do with you."
A quarrel broke out in front of Cui Ji Iron Shop, which immediately attracted a lot of onlookers.
Seeing that more and more people gathered, Wang Dong's eyes turned and he falsely accused Lin Zhiyi of being a thief who wanted to steal things from his shop.
"You, Cuiji Iron Company, are so close to her. Aren't you afraid that she is a thief?" Wang Dong curled his lips.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
I didn’t expect that such a beautiful girl is actually a thief!
"Wang Dong, do you know who she is?"
"How do I know who she is?" Wang Dong looked Lin Zhiyi up and down. She was dressed in ordinary clothes, which was a waste of her pretty face.
If you are born into a wealthy family and are taught music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, you can still marry into a good family.
"She is the Princess of Jiahe County. Would she steal your things? You are really good at picking things."
"County Lady? What is that?" Wang Dong said contemptuously.
"You sell farm tools, so you must know about the curved plow, right? She's Miss Lin, the one who invented the curved plow. The whole Dagan area has been buzzing with stories these past few days. It's Miss Lin who was conferred the title of Lady of Jiahe County by the Emperor."
