Chapter 3 That's it
She hurriedly put on her clothes and woke Cuixin up.
"Get up quickly, it's the grandfather, the grandfather is here."
Cui Xin was a little confused, but she was awakened by the sudden surprise in an instant.
The two of them ran out and took a few steps. Yuan Baoer suddenly stopped and pulled Cuixin back to the room again.
I was too tired earlier, and the two of them didn't have much supper, and most of the food I sent from my friend was left.
The two of them brought hot water and made the meal hot. They took advantage of the fact that the front room clerk and the shopkeeper were rushing to greet him and sneaked into the backyard.
The entire inn was brightly lit at this moment, but no one who lived in the inn earlier dared to come out at will.
The yamen runners also decided to eat and drink in the lobby, but unexpectedly two little mice slipped out quietly.
Yuan Baoer and Cui Xin looked at the backyard cautiously close to the corridor.
If someone is invaded by the prison car, there will be yamen runners to guard it.
The master and servant are not allowed to get close to each other, so they can only wait by the side.
Although it was spring, it was hard to get rid of the cool breeze at the near midnight. The yamen runners couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the place where they were leeing to rest.
Yuan Baoer asked Cuixin to follow her, and she ran to find her grandfather with food.
The night was breeze, and the clothes were pulled out. Cheng Li, who was wearing only one-on-one clothes, held his arms and shrank into a ball to resist the biting coldness.
Suddenly something was hanging on my body to block the chill.
He raised his head and saw in surprise that his good grandson was holding the railing, and Baba looked at him.
"Baoer, why are you here?"
Cheng Li was extremely surprised.
"Maternal ancestor," Yuan Baoer sniffled, and tears rolled down her eyes.
"Good Baoer, good Baoer, don't cry, don't cry, my grandfather is fine, my grandfather is fine."
When Cheng saw Yuan Baoer crying, he immediately became anxious.
He was in a hurry to hold her as usual and pat her back. However, the fence on the prison car was very dense and he could not move, so he could only pat her shoulder nervously and look at her with concern.
Yuan Baoer lost control for a moment, and knew that time was tight and she could not delay at all. She hurriedly put her feet on her feet to touch Cheng Li's forehead. The tentacles were slightly cool, and she was a little cold sweat, but the temperature was very high.
"Maternal, you're feverish."
She cried.
Cheng Li couldn't stand her reproach like this and hurriedly said, "It's okay, my grandfather is so powerful, it's just a little cold, just a little sleep."
As long as his Baoer doesn't cry, it's fine.
But Yuan Baoer cried even more sadly.
No matter where it is, it is the cold that takes his life.
Cheng Li was very anxious, but he had no choice but to worry about coaxing him.
I don’t know how many good things I said and how much careful I paid for it, Yuan Baoer finally stopped crying.
"Madame, why did they catch you?"
She quickly put the food on, poured a cup of hot water and handed it over, and asked frantically.
Cheng Li only chewed dry steamed buns along the way, and didn't even saliva. After drinking two large cups in a row, he felt warm and smiled and said, "This is not what you should worry about. When you go back to the Yuan family, your ancestors are still alive, and your uncle dare not do too much."
Yuan Baoer burst into tears, "Is it because of the ground egg?"
This thing was dug out from the forest with the people from the mountains two years ago. When she came back, she didn't take it seriously and threw it into the field to plant it. The next year, she found that the yield was amazing, so she set up a piece of land to plant it alone.
After a year of serious experiments, it was confirmed that the yield was indeed extremely high.
A few years ago, my grandfather submitted the ground eggs to the court.
The court also sent people to take away most of the eggs, saying that they were sent to special places to plant.
Yuan Baoer likes to tinker with rare seeds, but once she understands it, she will not care about it.
But my cousin told her that it was because of this dead man and the censor's report, which caused the court to hold him accountable.
Because the emperor trusted his grandfather, he had ordered all Yingzhou to plant this.
Yingzhou is located north of the country, and the grain produced every year is used as military rations.
Now it is already spring, and it is too late to plant other seeds, which has caused shortage of military rations and has been shaken by ginseng.
My cousin also gloated and said that fortunately her grandfather died early, otherwise she would have to implicate the Cheng family's family.
Yuan Baoer's despair and guilt at that time made her want to kill herself immediately.
So as soon as she met, although she was nervous and guilty, she still asked.
Cheng Li was a little surprised to hear Yuan Baoer.
"Who told you?"
Baoer was raised by him, and no one knows her better than him.
She was not interested in such a thing at all, and no one at home told her about it.
Yuan Baoer took a breath, forced her tears back, and asked back: "Is it?"
Cheng Li pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yuan Baoer's tears fell, "But we've eaten that thing, why aren't it okay?"
The ground eggs are very soft when steamed, and she likes to mash them into paste and eat them with soup.
After winter, she could eat a large basket herself.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have dug it out, nor should I plant it."
"It's all my fault," Yuan Baoer cried.
He felt so guilty about kissing his granddaughter. Cheng Li sighed softly, "That's all excuses," he leaned slightly and leaned into Yuan Baoer's ear, "It's a rice seed."
Yuan Baoer was stunned.
That was created by my grandfather and her by chance.
She likes to grow things and prefers to eat, but she is very picky and almost doesn't want to eat.
In order to satisfy the taste of the good grandson, the grandson thought for two days and nights and finally made a new rice.
The rice made from this rice is more chewy, a bit like green stem rice, but it has nearly three times the yield.
More importantly, the growth cycle of this rice seed is almost two months shorter than that of other rice.
The output is high and the production cycle is short. The place where they live is slightly northerly, and it is colder in winter, so it is impossible to plant for two seasons.
If it were the two roads of Shanhuai, it would be two years and three seasons. In the long run, why worry about dissatisfaction with the country's grain warehouse?
After the grandfather's plan was over, he still submitted it to her, and then told her that this thing could help the emperor realize his long-cherished wish in his life.
She doesn't care about politics and doesn't understand these things, so she doesn't care.
But if you think of her dream, it will be clear.
The biggest official of the Yuan family is the uncle who holds the title of Jinning Marquis and serves as a fourth-rank official in the court.
The uncle has a legitimate daughter, who is about the same age, and is obviously more expensive than her orphan.
But at that time, the uncle spoke cleverly, coerced and tempted, and asked her to go to the Second Prince's Mansion in his words.
At that time, she was only concerned about thanking him for his willingness to rescue his grandfather, but now that she was dead, she was the only one who knew the rice seeds.
What the second prince actually wants is the rice seed.
As for whether there is anything to get out of this, there is no way to investigate now, but this does not hinder Yuan Baoer's disgust towards the second prince.
Seeing that she was a little stunned, Cheng Li said, "There are too many things involved in this, and no forces on all sides will let His Majesty do it. You, a girl, don't get involved."
"Listen to the grandfather, go back to the Yuan family and leave it alone."
