Silver Fox's grandfather was the head of the Imperial Medical Academy. Affected by the power struggles in the harem, the emperor ordered that his entire family's property be confiscated and they be exiled.
After receiving the news, his grandfather entrusted his children and grandchildren to Manager Hua, asking him to lead them out of the capital.
He was beheaded the day after he was imprisoned.
Silver Fox's father led his family to flee to Youzhou City.
When Rong Wang's mother had a difficult childbirth, it was Silver Fox's grandfather who saved their lives.
Furthermore, in the subsequent harem, Silver Fox's grandfather repeatedly came to the rescue of the mother and son.
Therefore, the Rong King and his mother always regarded Silver Fox's grandfather as their benefactor.
The year their family met with misfortune, Prince Rong got married, so the old emperor granted him the fief of Youzhou City.
Silver Fox's grandfather instructed them to flee to Youzhou City and find Prince Rong.
Silver Fox's father then led his whole family to Youzhou.
But how could the imperial court possibly let this family off the hook?
The emperor kept sending assassins to hunt him down.
With no other option, Yinhe's father told Manager Hua to take his two children and leave first.
He and many others stayed behind, slowly making their way towards Youzhou City to lure the assassins.
As for what happened to Silver Fox's father, they still don't know.
After Manager Hua led them to Youzhou City, he secretly entered the Rong Prince's Mansion.
The day they went to the Rong Prince's Mansion happened to be the day when the Rong Prince's Mansion was holding a grand banquet to entertain guests from all over Youzhou City.
That day, there were quite a few children in the Rong Prince's Mansion, so in the end, the Silver Fox siblings were left in the Rong Princess's courtyard.
To outsiders, they only said that the two children were distant relatives of her mother's family.
Princess Rong's younger brother, Su Cankun, also lived in the Rong Prince's Mansion, and the three children grew up together there.
Later, when Silver Fox's older sister, Hua Baizhi, was 16 years old, she married Su Cankun, the younger brother of Princess Rong.
They dared not use the surname "Hua" anymore, so they took their mother's surname "Bai". The silver fox was named Bai Xuanshen, and the older sister was named Bai Zhi.
Later, Li Lanzhen learned how the story unfolded.
"Auntie, after discussing it with Uncle Hua, we'll find a time when you can take me to find my father."
"Okay, no problem. Let me know when you've discussed it, and I'll take you there."
When Silver Fox and Li Lanzhen returned to Peach Blossom Spring, it was already completely dark.
Torches were still lit in the dining room. The two of them went to the dining room, where all the adults, except for the children, were still sitting and waiting for them.
I saw the two of them go into the dining room.
Li Erhan and Ye Shi quickly grabbed Li Lanzhen's hands.
"Honey, did something happen? Why are you so late coming home?"
As he spoke, he looked her up and down.
Li Lanzhen pulled them to sit at the table and said.
"Father and Mother, don't worry, nothing has happened. Silver Fox is with us, so you can rest assured."
The two old people hurriedly went to check on Silver Fox, "Child, are you alright? Is there anything wrong with you? Look at you, your injuries probably haven't fully healed yet, have they? You've been away from home all day."
Silver Fox thoroughly enjoyed their concern and chuckled as he spoke.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Li Lanzhen did not tell them about the gourd medicine valley.
They would also never tell them that the discovery of a cave there was related to Silver Fox's family background.
"Have you found the medicinal herbs to detoxify that young master?"
Han Shunde asked anxiously.
This was their stated reason for leaving to search for medicinal herbs.
On the day Silver Fox and the prince were found in the reeds along the river, everyone knew that the prince had been poisoned.
They simply didn't know the Crown Prince's identity.
Silver Fox said, "I've gathered all the herbs to detoxify him. Once I've prepared the medicine and brewed it for him, a few doses should be enough to detoxify him."
Madam Wu nodded, "After the detoxification, you still need to take good care of yourself. It might take at least a year or two for your body to fully recover."
Li Lanzhen quickly changed the subject, asking them how the construction of the greenhouse in Peach Blossom Spring was going today.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Deshui inquired about the construction of the greenhouse.
He chuckled and said, "We're moving very fast. We've already built four greenhouses in just one day."
The roof hasn't been laid yet.
Han Zhaoxiong continued, "Auntie, we're thinking of building up all the walls of the greenhouse while the ground is still warm."
As for the roof, we can build it later.
Li Lanzhen agreed, saying, "Yes, this arrangement is good. We can build all the walls first, and then the roof can be built much faster."
Zhang Deshui sighed again, "We still don't have enough people here. If we had more people, we could build more than a dozen greenhouses in a day."
Upon hearing these words, Li Lanzhen was again thinking about Silver Fox's request for her to buy some servants.
Selling some servants isn't impossible. Otherwise, I'll go to Youzhou City with Silver Fox tomorrow and see if we find any suitable ones to bring back to Peach Blossom Spring.
At the time, she was thinking of buying a group of servants in Hulu Valley to manage the medicinal herbs, but now it seems that Li Lanzhen doesn't need to worry about Hulu Valley herself.
As long as Silver Fox finds his uncle's family, he can also find the servants who grow medicinal herbs.
Li Lanzhen said, "Leave the sweet potato and potato seedlings to me. I have many large rooms in my yard, so you don't need to worry about it. I can provide as many sweet potato seedlings and potato saplings as you can build greenhouses."
Everyone nodded in agreement and did not object to Lanzhen's suggestion.
They had a vague idea that Li Lanzhen was somewhat cunning.
But what exactly was it? They didn't want to investigate, because Li Lanzhen always brought them benefits, bringing them many things they had never seen before.
Anyway, Li Lanzhen would never harm them; they completely trust her!
At this moment, Xue Nizi and a few others came in carrying food boxes.
"Mother, why did you only come back when it was completely dark? You must be starving! Come and eat, Brother Silver Fox, come and eat with my mother too."
Li Lanzhen was surprised to find that dinner consisted of tomato dumpling soup, wild vegetable pancakes, and pickled sweet potato vines.
Li Lanzhen loves to eat this; it's sour, refreshing, and delicious.
Xue Nizi and the others then gave each of the other people a bowl.
Han Shunde laughed and said, "What? You even prepared a late-night snack for us? Okay, we'll benefit from Lanzhen's kindness and have a bowl to gain some weight."
I ate a bowl of hot and sour dumpling soup.
No one left. Xue Nizi and the others cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
They sat at the table and continued chatting.
Zhang Deshui was the most excited; he was overjoyed whenever he was asked to farm or build greenhouses.
I got up very early this morning and went to the area with eleven trees, where I selected a large plot of land.
He suggested that everyone plan the land in an orderly manner.
Even if it gets warmer next spring, grains and vegetables can still be grown here.
Han Dazhong said, "Let's build another greenhouse and grow some vegetables in it."
Zhang Deshui immediately objected upon hearing this.
"No, we must plant sweet potatoes and potatoes everywhere. This grain is to be sent to the border!"
Vegetables don't keep you full for long, and besides, how are vegetables transported over such a long distance?
Li Lanzhen knew that Han Dazhong had already set his sights on the profits he could make from selling greenhouse vegetables out of season.
So it's not impossible for him to grow vegetables, but he doesn't have enough manpower.
Han Shunde said, "Let's focus on growing sweet potatoes and potatoes for now."
"Now, we're still growing vegetables in these five greenhouses, crop after crop, and selling them to Sifang Restaurant. The money keeps coming in."
Just as everyone was excitedly discussing whether to grow grains or vegetables in the greenhouse...
Xue Bao burst in!
"Village chief, someone's here! They've come by boat!"
