Shen Yingxue then remembered that she had not taken off her hairpin. Although Jiang Miao simply praised her beautiful hairpin, Shen Yingxue felt guilty and felt that her affair with Guo Zhao had been exposed. She blushed so much that she stumbled over her words. .
"Well, I passed by a jewelry store and thought it looked good, so I bought it..."
"It's pretty. It matches you very well."
Jiang Miao was arranging the seedlings and didn't notice anything unusual about her. Shen Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly helped to tidy up the seedlings.
With more people and greater strength, the seedlings from several acres of land were quickly loaded onto the car in an orderly manner. The carriage contained not only sweet potato seedlings but also food made by Jiang Miao. The carriage was packed to the brim, leaving only a place for Jiang Miao to sit. .
"Madam, I have wronged you."
Li Biao watched Jiang Miao carefully sit among a pile of seedlings, but he couldn't let her sit outside. She must have been so tired from walking all day that her back ached.
"It's okay, you can catch the bus."
Jiang Miao is now looking forward to returning to Zhenjiang Mansion, and she doesn't mind even if she is tired.
"Okay, sit tight!"
As the Shen family watched the carriage go away, Mrs. Zhang felt very uncomfortable.
“I don’t know when we’ll see you next time. Let’s get over this damn drought.”
"It will pass. When things get better over there, we can go there and have a look."
Furong Town is only a day's drive from Zhenjiang Prefecture. It is very convenient if you want to visit relatives. Now I hope that Zhenjiang Prefecture will get better soon, otherwise the Shen family will have to worry about Jiang Miao and the other two.
Zhenjiang Prefecture
Liang Duo has felt the low pressure on Shen Yanqing these two days. If his wife doesn't come back, he will not be happy.
"Sir, the wasteland outside the city has been plowed and fertilized."
"Um."
Shen Yanqing sat at the table and listened to his report, tapping his fingers on the table. Liang Duo's body was tense. Shen Yanqing's whole body had been filled with low pressure these past two days.
Madam and Li Biao were supposed to come back the day before yesterday, but it has been two days. If Madam does not come back, you will not be happy, and they, the subordinates, can only be worried.
"Sir, Madam and Li Biao are back!"
Shi Lei barged in with a smile on his face, and the originally deserted space immediately became lively. Shen Yanqing suddenly stood up from the table, excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Where are they?"
"We have arrived outside the city. Madam, they brought a cart of seedlings, and there seems to be other seeds. Anyway, there is enough for the people to plant..."
Shi Lei thought about the things on the carriage and felt happy. That guy Li Biao finally accomplished something and the people of Zhenjiang Prefecture were saved.
Shen Yanqing only heard that Jiang Miao was outside the city and quickly opened the door and went out before Shi Lei finished speaking. Liang Duo breathed a sigh of relief behind him and stepped forward to pat Shi Lei on the shoulder.
"here you go!"
Shi Lei was confused and scratched his head stupidly. He didn't do anything. Why did his elder brother praise him?
"Hey, it's all what I should do."
"Um."
Liang Duo didn't explain. If Shi Lei informed Jiang Miao's whereabouts, Shen Yanqing would have been sulky for a while, and he would have suffered too.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the city, and Jiang Miao got out of the carriage. She had been sitting in the carriage for a whole day, and her body was a little stiff.
Traffic in ancient times was really tiring. Although they took the official road, the road surface was not as smooth as modern ones, and the carriage did not have shock absorption. The two of them walked so fast in order to make time, Jiang Miao felt like she was about to fall apart.
The people outside the city came forward one after another when they saw the two men returning.
"Madam, can we plant crops now?"
They all knew that Jiang Miao had gone to get grain seeds, and everyone was very concerned.
"Well, we will wait for the county magistrate's distribution later, and everyone will have crops to plant."
"Okay, thank you madam!"
"It is truly a blessing to the people of Zhenjiang Prefecture to have Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen!"
The praises and thanks from the people outside the city were endless. Jiang Miao looked at these simple people and felt that the responsibility on her shoulders was heavier. Since she and Shen Yanqing came to Zhenjiang Mansion, they had the responsibility to make these people live a good life.
"Li Biao, please drive the carriage to a shady place first."
The sun is shining brightly now, even if the sweet potato seedlings are in the carriage, they will be wilted.
"yes."
Li Biao agreed in a deep voice. He was now obedient to Jiang Miao's advice. After eating meat at Shen's house for two days, he was completely "bought" by Jiang Miao.
"Miaoya!"
Jiang Miao was about to enter the city when Shen Yanqing's voice suddenly came from behind her. She turned her head quickly and saw Shen Yanqing walking hurriedly from the city.
After not seeing him for a few days, he looked very haggard, and a layer of green stubble appeared on his white jade face.
"Ms. sir."
Jiang Miao hurried up to meet her, and Shen Yanqing grabbed her hand. If he hadn't been outside the city, he would have held Jiang Miao in his arms.
"You're finally back!"
His big hands just wrapped Jiang Miao's bare hands, and his eyes were full of complaints. Jiang Miao was already feeling guilty for coming back two days late, and now she couldn't resist Shen Yanqing's eyes.
"It's not that there are too many things to bring. I'll stay for two more days. Don't be angry, okay? I also brought you snacks and another high-yielding seed I found. Let's go together. have a look!"
Jiang Miao immediately became energetic when she thought of corn, tomatoes and watermelon. She took Shen Yanqing's hand and walked to the carriage. These were her treasures.
Shen Yanqing was pulled by her, and seeing the joy on her face, she felt she was still angry.
Forget it, he was eaten to death by Jiang Miao. As long as Jiang Miao gave him a smile, Shen Yanqing could not wait to give her her heart.
Li Biao parked his car at the city gate. Liang Duo and Shi Lei stood in front of him, listening to him bragging about the delicious food he had eaten at the Shen family.
"The pickled cabbage stick bone that the old lady stewed is simply amazing. You can suck out the marrow when you take a bite of the bone, and it is so delicious that your tongue can swallow it. Also, the snacks made by the old lady are so delicious. I have never eaten anything so delicious in my life. …”
He was still full of nostalgia as he said this, and the greedy Shi Lei drooled. Why did such a good thing happen to these two idiots?
If he goes to Furong Town, he won't be the only one to eat meat. Not only Li Biao, but also Shi Lei and others haven't had any meat in a year and a half.
Li Biao's showing off was just a way to attract hatred. Not only did Shi Lei dislike him, but also Liang Duo, who had always been peaceful, felt a little jealous.
No matter how stupid Li Biao was, he could tell that the two of them were unhappy, so he quickly shut up and stopped talking.
When Jiang Miao and the others came over, they saw this silent scene. She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.
"What's wrong with this?"
Shouldn't Liang Duo and Shi Lei be happy to see Li Biao? Why are they acting like enemies now?
Li Biao smiled naively. How dare he say that he was almost beaten by two people for showing off his meat eating, so he could only hide it with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, we are waiting for the adults and madam."
"Yes yes!"
Liang Duo and Shi Lei also nodded quickly. Jiang Miao saw that it was nothing serious, so she didn't worry about it anymore.
"Li Biao, you first go and divide the sweet potato seedlings among the people. Plant fifty of them per acre, and set aside the remaining space for growing vegetables."
