Strange love across time and space

Chapter 116 Coming to Zhuangzi

Early the next morning, as soon as Su Qing got up, she saw Phantom waiting at the door. She smiled at him and said, "You're back?"

"Yeah!" Phantom nodded, "You have breakfast first."

After breakfast, Phantom took Su Qing to her room. Su Qing did not move Qingzhu away. Anyway, everyone will know these things sooner or later, and there is no need to hide them.

When she arrived at Phantom's room, she saw several sacks piled in the corner. Su Qing stepped forward and opened the sacks to check them one by one. Qingzhu had never seen them before and asked curiously, "Miss, what are these?"

"Grain seeds." Su Qing replied without raising her head.

"But this kind of seed has never been seen before. What kind of grains are these?" Qingzhu was even more confused. The grains she knew were rice, wheat, and sorghum, but the bright yellow seeds in front of her were as big as beans and were as big as a fist. She had never seen anything oval-shaped before.

Su Qing pointed to the contents in the sack and said, "This is corn and this is potato. Both are grains and have high yields. Qingzhu, go to the front yard and ask your mother to come over."

After Qingzhu left, Phantom came up and asked, "Where are you going to plant these things?"

Su Qing thought for a while, "Let's first ask my mother if there is a Zhuangzi in her family. I remember that my mother has a small Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing."

Phantom gently took Su Qing's hand and said coquettishly, "I'm tired after flying all night. Why don't you praise me?"

This was the first time Su Qing saw such a phantom, and her heart was numb. She approached him, raised her head and smiled, "Our phantom is really awesome!"

Seeing Su Qing like this, Phantom felt a little pushy and asked, "Is there any reward?"

"What reward do you want?" Su Qing was also interested. Faced with the handsome guy's flirting, she didn't mind flirting with him occasionally.

"Go to your dreams tonight." Phantom said his thoughts.

"Well..." Su Qing deliberately prolonged her tone, "Okay then! But you have to take me flying."

"It's what I asked for!" Phantom nodded the tip of Su Qing's nose dotingly. The two looked at each other and smiled.

After Jiang came over, Su Qing showed her the corn and potatoes, and then took out the unknown seeds that were taken away from foreigners last time and said to Jiang, "Mom, I remember that our family has a small village in the suburbs of Beijing. Right? I want to plant these seeds in Zhuangzi when spring comes."

Jiang looked at these sacks and asked doubtfully, "Where did you get these things from?"

Su Qing told Jiang how she met the foreigners and discovered that they had seeds. She ignored the fact that Phantom stole them back from the East China Sea, and instead asked Phantom to steal them at the inn.

Upon hearing this, Jiang said anxiously, "Qingqing! You are stealing! If you are discovered, you will be arrested! Oh, you will definitely be discovered. Our Yong'an country does not have this kind of food. You can grow it." Wouldn’t it be better to let people know that you stole it?”

Su Qing thought of the Old Summer Palace in the Qing Dynasty that was burned, killed and looted by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in her previous life, and she said righteously, "Mom! I just stole it! I stole these things for the people of our country! These are high-yielding crops! If they were popularized nationwide , it will solve the food and clothing problems of many people! Even if the people of Yong'an Country know that I stole it, they won't blame me!"

Jiang held her daughter's hand, "Qingqing, Mom still has a question, how do you know about this food? How are you sure you can grow it?"

"When my daughter goes shopping, she often goes to the study to read miscellaneous books. If she sees something occasionally, she finds it interesting, so she remembers it!" Su Qing kept her face straight and made up lies without changing her heart.

Seeing that Jiang was still hesitating, Su Qing said patiently, "Mom, I don't plan to hide this from anyone. I want to tell Prince Jin about this first. If it can really be planted, Prince Jin will report it to emperor."

Upon hearing Prince Jin, Mrs. Jiang frowned, and then asked, "Qingqing, tell the truth to mother, has your memory recovered a little? Are you interested in Prince Jin again?"

Su Qing's head was covered with black threads, "Mother! I haven't recovered my memory. The reason why I told King Jin is to help him make meritorious service. The four princes, the prince and the third prince are already at odds with us, and the fourth prince is indisputable. If you don’t want to grab it, then only the second prince will be left! Moreover, my daughter feels that the final winner in this battle to seize the throne must be King Jin. The main reason is that she thinks that King Jin only cares about the people. Therefore, her daughter wants to be King Jin in the future. Succession will also be beneficial to our family."

After hearing what her daughter said, Mrs. Jiang sighed, "There is a small village in the suburbs of Beijing, but it only has more than thirty acres of land. It is not fertile farmland, just medium-sized farmland. In previous years, I only grew some wheat and vegetables. If you really want to plant it, I'll discuss it with your father and plant it all for you when the weather gets warmer."

"Thank you, Mom! Dad will definitely agree. Mom, I want to go to Zhuangzi and have a look first." Su Qing said happily.

"You!" Jiang nodded Su Qing's forehead, "There's really nothing I can do against you!"

"Who told me to be my parents' little cotton-padded jacket!" Su Qing held Jiang's arm and pretended to be coquettish.

Jiang gave her an angry look, "My mouth is full of honey! Okay, Zhuangzi is a bit far away. If you want to go today, just set off now and let Li Qiang drive you there. He knows where it is. This trip will take one day." "

"Okay! I'll go now!" Su Qing ran out immediately.

"Qingzhu! Get the lady a big cloak!" Jiang called from behind.

"Yes! Madam!" Qingzhu followed quickly.

By the time Zhuangzi came to the throne, it was already the end of the Si Dynasty. The head of Zhuangzi who managed Zhuangzi was named Chen. He was in his forties and seemed to be honest and honest. Su Qing heard from the Jiang family that this head of Zhuangzi, Chen, had been in charge of Zhuangzi since they first bought it. I started working here. Zhuangzi's previous boss was demoted for taking bribes. When the government ransacked his property, this small Zhuangzi belonged to the imperial court. Jiang bought it from the imperial court. The original head of Zhuangzi was driven out by Jiang because he was found to have embezzled monthly money and food from his servants. I found out from the servants that this man named Chen was quite loyal, and because he signed a death contract, he was made the head of the village. Chen Zhuangtou and his wife, Aunt Chen, only have one son named Chen Yongfu, who is also 20 years old this year. Because he is a slave, he has not yet married a wife.

Seeing Su Qing coming, Mr. Chen Zhuang led his wife, son and three servants who were doing farm work to greet him. There were not many rooms in the village, because there were only six people, so there were only about ten rooms, excluding those who lived there. The remaining rooms are used to store farm tools, grain and vegetables. There is one room where the owner lives when he comes occasionally, and Aunt Chen has kept it clean. As soon as Su Qing entered the room, Aunt Chen brought tea and said respectfully, "It's not good tea. Don't dislike it, Miss."

Su Qing smiled at her, "It's okay, thank you Aunt Chen."

Perhaps no nobleman had ever been really polite to her. Aunt Chen suddenly became at a loss when she heard Su Qing's words and stammered, "Young lady, you're welcome, you're welcome. This is... what a slave should do."
