The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 184 Yan Xie's reaction

Eunuch Gui nodded repeatedly: "This tea is really good. I only drank one cup and all my fatigue disappeared."

Just then Jian Yue came in and said, "If you like it, Eunuch Gui, Ming Yue will give you a few packets."

Eunuch Gui stood up in a hurry, smiling like a flower, and said with joy: "Oh! Thank you so much, Princess Mingyue."

"You are too polite, Eunuch Gui."

After a few pleasantries, Eunuch Gui had someone bring in a large box. After opening it, it was full of rare medicinal herbs. Eunuch Gui smiled flatteringly and said to Divine Doctor Mao: "These herbs are given to Divine Doctor Mao by the Emperor. The Emperor misses Divine Doctor Mao very much and hopes that Divine Doctor Mao will stay in the palace for a while."

"Please ask Eunuch Gui to thank the emperor on my behalf. When I go to the capital someday, I will definitely go to see the emperor."

Eunuch Gui naturally agreed with joy.

After a sumptuous banquet, Eunuch Gui left with a few large bags of Four Treasures Tea and a light purse like the others, feeling very satisfied.

Yan Xiuyuan never expected that his daughter, who was not very prominent, would actually be rewarded by the emperor. Not only was she given the title of Princess Mingyue, but she was also given a fiefdom.

There are many princesses and county lords in Shangjing who only have the title but no real power. Unlike Jian Yue, she was given a fiefdom right away. Although the fiefdom was just a small county town with a small population and a poor county town, it was much better than those princesses and county lords who only had the title.

It can be seen that this daughter has caught the emperor's eye.

Yan Xiuyuan didn't quite understand why Jian Yue was favored by the emperor. So, he had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he hoped that Jian Yue's honor would be helpful to his career. On the other hand, he was afraid that Jian Yue, who was already rebellious, would be even more out of his control and would go against him in the future.

But no matter what, he still came to congratulate in person. As an old father, he was very enthusiastic and pleased. However, Jian Yue's attitude was always cold, polite and distant.

Yan Xiuyuan was very upset. He did not show his dissatisfaction. This daughter who had been promoted to the county lord was no longer someone he could lecture casually.

When Xie Chujiao learned that Jian Yue was named the county lady, she was so angry that she smashed everything in the room. She was so tired that she was panting, dizzy, and her eyes, which were getting smaller and smaller, seemed to be emitting flames.

After a cold winter, her weight had exceeded 200 kilograms. She became increasingly lazy and less willing to move, and only wanted to lie down or sit.

Tired of all the hard work, Xie Chujiao slumped down on the chaise longue, squinting her eyes as she thought about something.

That little bitch was growing stronger and stronger. If she continued to grow like this, it would be very detrimental to her and her family. She really regretted keeping her. She was originally kept to contain the Jian family, but the Jian family was destroyed by her so quickly, and she became the most difficult one.

Yan Xinning was also a useless waste. After five years of hard work in teaching her, she was still no match for a bumpkin who grew up in the countryside.

No! We can't let her grow any further.

Yan Xinning felt similar to Xie Chujiao. However, she did not throw anything. It was not because she could control her temper, but because she did not dare to do so.

The furnishings and utensils in the room are all limited in quantity. Anyone who dares to deliberately damage them will not only not be replaced but will also have their monthly salary deducted.

Yan Xinning made a living under Xie Chujiao. On the surface, she was in a very good position, a noble lady who was high above everyone else. But in fact, apart from the monthly salary and the private money Yan Xiuyuan gave her on weekdays, she had no profitable business. A teahouse that was not profitable was even taken back.

She now relied on her meager dowry to manage the servants in the other courtyard. Ever since she caught Huamei and the second prince having an affair, the second prince's attitude towards her suddenly became cold. Until he returned to the capital, he never came to her courtyard once.

She was angry that the Second Prince had betrayed her deep affection, and her affection for the Second Prince turned into resentment, and she did not humble herself to apologize. The two of them remained in a stalemate.

The news that Jian Yue was named the county lord was like a bolt from the blue to Yan Xinning. However, after all the love stories were gone from her mind, Yan Xinning's IQ was back online.

She stroked her fat fingers, frowned and thought for a moment, then told Huang Li beside her: "Go and call Butler Song."

After Butler Song arrived, Yan Xinning asked, "Butler Song, is there any way to see Meng Tongzhi or Wang Tongpan in the prison?"

Steward Song was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering, and he said carefully: "They will be exiled to Mozhou tomorrow. It is inappropriate for Yan Liangyuan to meet the exiled prisoners."

"I won't go. Let Huang Li go. Please ask Butler Song to help clear the way." Yan Xinning winked at Huang Li. Huang Li immediately took out a purse and gave it to Butler Song.

Steward Song weighed it secretly and said with a smile: "I will go and find out if I can go in under the name of visiting the prison."

In the afternoon, Steward Song came to reply that everything had been arranged. Yan Xinning then asked Huang Li to smear black on his face, disguise himself as a food delivery boy, and follow Steward Song to the prison cell of the government office.

An hour later, Huang Li came back with a happy look on her face: "Liang Yuan, your method is really effective. As soon as I mentioned how to deal with Jian Zhaodi, Wang Tongpan immediately told me the information about the poison doctor."

Yan Xinning was excited and urged: "Tell me quickly, where did they find the poison doctor?"

Huang Li: "Wang Tongpan said that the poison doctor was invited from the Wen family. When the Wen family heard that he and Meng Tongzhi were going to deal with the apprentice of the divine doctor, they readily agreed to let the poison doctor help them. It is said that the eldest master of the Wen family and the son of Meng Tongzhi were both poisoned, which is why their bodies are so weak and prone to illness. However, the poison doctor has already detoxified them."

Yan Xinning was even more excited: "Great! The Wen family's market in Yanling Prefecture was robbed by Doctor Mao and his disciples. How could the Wen family let it go? Anyone who is willing to deal with Doctor Mao and his disciples is their ally. So, you go contact the people in the Wen family's villa. I want to meet the person in charge of the Wen family's villa."

Sugarcane was planted on the hills around Gejia Village. Jian Yue wrote down the method of sweetening sugarcane on a piece of paper and asked Yuan Yi and Village Chief Ge to take care of the arrangements.

All the sugarcane that could be saved for seed before the New Year was saved for the purpose of planting more this year. After another harvest this year, Jian Yue felt that six mountains would be fully planted by next year.

In addition, she also wants to find a batch of plants with high sweetness and make a batch of hybrid sugarcane. Because the hybrid sugarcane is not only sweeter, but also has a shorter growing period, so it can be harvested twice a year.

On the day when the families of Meng Tongzhi and Wang Tongpan were exiled, Jian Yue was busy on the farm and had no time to go and watch the fun.

Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe both stopped teaching and assisted Jian Yue in researching hybrid wheat. The seven medicine boys that Jian Yue bought all became her assistants.

Food is the lifeblood and foundation of a country, and this is a cross-era reform. Ji Yunzhong attaches great importance to it, and even personally does logistics for Jian Yue, doing his best to meet her needs.

Jian Yue asked the shopkeeper...
