"It's a green plant that's not tall, about waist high." Xiao Xiao gestured, "The flowers it blooms are milky white, and when the flowers wither, they will bear a small green fruit. The fruit will split open to reveal white cotton wool..."

"White flowers, green fruits," Mr. Jiang frowned as he recalled, "Could it be that you mean Bai Diezi?"

The grass is like a cocoon, and the silk in the cocoon is like a thin thread, so it is called Baidiezi.Cotton has actually appeared in white jade for a long time, but people regard it as a rare flower and a rare herb, and no one thinks that it can be spun.In addition, white jade is very delicate and has high requirements for light and water and soil. Therefore, except for those who really like this kind of plant, few white jade will grow it.

"Baidiezi can also weave?" Master Jiang asked Xiao Xiao in disbelief.

Xiao Xiao didn't expect that she kept tossing the sweater to keep warm, but she missed the most warm cotton, so she replied blankly: "Not only can... but if it can be widely planted, no one will freeze to death in this world. ..."

In Master Jiang's memory, this is an extremely delicate plant, but Xiao Xiao from modern times knows that cotton can even be grown in the desert.Cotton in Xinjiang has been providing extremely high-quality raw materials for China's textile industry. On the edge of Shihezi, Xinjiang, cotton farmers use manpower to remove large rocks and plant cotton one by one in soil with more than half the amount of sand and gravel. , let it grow under the 8-level sandstorm in Xinjiang and the extreme high temperature of 40 degrees.Here, the cotton plant almost grows out of the stone, and it is one of the ways to fight desertification in this place where other plants fear to avoid.If cotton is not grown and it remains empty, it will soon be eroded by deserts.From sand entering and people retreating to people forcing sand to retreat, cotton has played an important role in this.

Cotton can fight against land desertification and reduce soil erosion; cotton can be naturally degraded within three months without leaving any "tail" after a year.It is a beauty in the desert, so some people call cotton the flower of a gentleman.There is a county in Xiangcheng that is similar to the urban environment of Shihezi in Xinjiang, and the fruits there are also the best places to eat fruits in Xiangcheng.But the desert hinders their traffic, and sandstorms hit this place again and again.If cotton can be planted there, it will not only solve the problem of land desertification step by step, but also generate income for them.

"Although the sunlight in Youcheng and Ancheng is not as high as that in Gaochang County, their land is fertile, so they can grow cotton on a large scale," Xiao Xiao regretted that she didn't go out and walk around more when she was in Youcheng, maybe she would have discovered it at that time. One or two cotton plants improve life in advance, "Although the quality cannot keep up, if the quantity increases, it will be a great merit..."

Master Jiang clenched his fists tightly, and before Xiao Xiao finished speaking, he hurriedly called his housekeeper and asked him to go back to Ancheng to pick up cotton.I remember that someone gave Hong Zhifu a pot the year before last, if he could take it and study it, then spin cotton thread and give it to Hong Zhifu, it would be considered a merit.He also knew that he didn't cherish Magistrate Hong's daughter well, and now he would definitely remarry in order to stay in the future, so he wanted to please Magistrate Hong first, so that no one would gossip.

"Let me go directly to Hong Zhifu." Xiao Xiao was also impatient, fearing that Hong Zhifu would not bear the pain to give up, "I can also tell him about the promotion of planting, otherwise I am afraid that farmers will still be willing to grow food and not willing to do so." cotton."

Master Jiang was stunned for a moment, and just about to ask his younger brother what to do, Xiao Xiao turned around in a hurry and went back home to pack her luggage.Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Lin hurried back to the barracks to report to Jiang Muyu, but Jiang Muyu actually ordered no one to disturb him.Wu Lin could only wait anxiously. Fortunately, within a quarter of an hour, two people came out, one was Jiang Muyu and the other was Rongyu.

Wu Lin was taken aback when he saw Rong Yu, but he knew that now was not the time to be curious about this, so he hurriedly said to Jiang Muyu: "Madam has run away! Madam said he is going to Ancheng—"

Jiang Muyu didn't wait for Wu Lin to finish speaking, thinking that Xiao Xiao was going to abandon him, the thought flooded his mind, and he rushed out without any time to think about it.A few jumped up to the General Military Mansion, Jiang Muyu saw Xiao Xiao who was loading luggage into the carriage at a glance, so impatient, he immediately hugged Xiao Xiao, and then begged Xiao Xiao not to leave.

"Don't go, okay?" Jiang Muyu's voice was trembling, and her arms were tightly wrapped around Xiao Xiao, "I will be good in the future, and I will never say or do things that I shouldn't say to you. Don't leave me anymore, okay..."

Xiao Xiao was hugged for no reason, and was still struggling, but after hearing what Jiang Muyu said, she froze in place, opened her mouth but couldn't speak.It's so strange, obviously what Jiang Muyu said was what he wanted, but Xiao Xiao just couldn't say the word "good", pursing her lips to suppress the sourness coming out of her throat.Xiao Xiao slowed down for a while, and waited until her voice stopped shaking before she spoke: "Let go first."

If you let go, will you turn grimly and step into the carriage?

Jiang Muyu gritted her teeth and let go of her hand, clenched her fist and waited for Xiao Xiao to give her final judgment.

"When did I abandon you?" Xiao Xiao couldn't bear to look at those eyes that had lost their brilliance, "I just have something to go to Ancheng to find prefect Hong, and I'll be back in a month or so?"

Jiang Muyu looked at Xiao Xiao eagerly, as if she was left alone at home a few years ago when she was out on business: "Then can I go together?"

Xiao Xiao said speechlessly: "You, the chief soldier, plan to leave your post without authorization?"

Originally, Jiang Muyu, who was originally because Xiao Xiao didn't abandon him, managed to get more angry, but was defeated by reality.Indeed, he is no longer a child, knowing that the heavy responsibility on his body does not allow him to do whatever he wants, because Xiangcheng and the country are behind him.So Jiang Muyu stood in front of Xiao Xiao dejectedly and pitifully, and threw Wu Lin who had just arrived into the carriage.

"Then you take Wu Lin with you," Jiang Muyu turned and stared at Wu Lin viciously, "If something happens to Xiao Xiao, you don't have to come back."

Xiao Xiao looked at Jiang Muyu's cruelty with amused expression, without any fear at all, and climbed onto the carriage with a smile.

"Isn't he a general in your army?" Xiao Xiao looked at Wu Lin with a bitter face and shook his head, then let go of Jiang Muyu's hand holding him, "Don't worry, I will definitely be back in a month and a half. "

"One and a half months is too long." Jiang Muyu muttered dissatisfiedly, but how dare he ask too much of Xiao Xiao?So he kept staring at Xiao Xiao reluctantly, as if he was thinking about it.Xiao Xiao was embarrassed by his stare, finally coughed a few times in embarrassment, and waved her hand at Jiang Muyu.

"I'm leaving, take care!" Xiao Xiao said goodbye to Jiang Muyu with a smile, "I will write to you when I arrive, don't worry."

Jiang Muyu also said to take care, Xiao Xiao put down the curtain and leaned on the carriage in a daze.Originally, he thought it would be embarrassing for the two to meet, but today's meeting was indescribably touching. He was moved by Jiang Muyu's retreat, and moved by the tacit agreement between the two of them that they did not bring up the cold war of the past few days.He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was far away from Jiang Muyu's influence, maybe he could calmly think about what the relationship between the two of them should be like.The carriage and horses were bumping, and Xiao Xiao and Wu Lin saw the cement road built at the beginning after walking for a few days, and then they went to Ancheng quickly.

Half a month had passed when Xiao Xiao arrived in Ancheng.The carriage broke down on the way, so Wu Lin took Xiao Xiao on the horse and drove on, and they got on a lot faster.Although Xiao Xiao finally learned how to ride a horse, his thighs and indescribable places were all worn out, so he strengthened his determination to plant cotton in a large area, hoping to get his underwear out as soon as possible.Ancheng was still as prosperous as before, but unfortunately Xiao had something important to do this time, so he went straight to Hongyuan, intending to talk to prefect Hong.

However, the timing was too unfortunate, when Xiao Xiao came here happened to be around the Ching Ming Festival, so prefect Hong had already gone to live in Zhuangzi outside the city.Both daughters died tragically, and this was inseparably related to some forces in the court, so this formerly diligent magistrate now only wants to retire from his old age and return to his hometown, and he doesn't even go to the government office much.This year's Ching Ming Festival is the first year for the eldest daughter. Although she is buried in the Jiang family's cemetery, Prefect Hong still wants to take a look.So early on, he sent a letter to young master Jiang, saying that he would pay homage to his daughter and grandson this year.

Xiao Xiao and Wu Lin had no choice but to wait for prefect Hong to return to the city.When I entered the inn, I happened to hear the diners on the first floor talking about the situation in the court. Xiao Xiao naturally planned to go upstairs to see her injuries without interest, but Wu Lin frowned and sat down after hearing Rong Xiang's name. on an empty table.Xiao Xiao sat down with Wu Lin inexplicably, and asked Xiao Er strangely after ordering food: "We don't live here?"

The diners at the next table have changed the subject.The thoughtful Wu Lin nodded after hearing Xiao Xiao's question and replied, "Of course I want to live, but let's fill my stomach first."

Xiao Xiao originally thought that Wu Lin had made some important discovery, so he suddenly stopped and sat down on the stool, but now he heard that he was just hungry, and the stool became hotter and hotter.Knowing that her wound might be bleeding, Xiao Xiao stood up with a grin, and asked for two upper rooms under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"I'm going to take a shower first and change my clothes," Xiao Xiao pretended nonchalantly, "The sweat on my body has already stuck to my clothes, it's really uncomfortable, I can't bear it. You can eat this meal first, I'll call myself when I'm done washing."

Others thought Xiao Xiao was your son, but how could he not know what happened after seeing the blood stains on Xiao Xiao's body?So Wu Lin smiled and nodded, seeing Xiao Xiao's stiff steps and almost not laughing out loud, thinking that Mr. Xiao is also a person with a good face.But before he could think of some witty words to tease Xiao Xiao, the diner at the next table spoke again:

"We don't think things are that simple. How could this good-looking second young master of the Rong family just say no?"
