Chapter 311 My Daughter-in-law I Am Proud

"Okay." Shen Yuanxi smiled: "Since it's my mother's house, it's not a matter of course for the son to live in it, and it saves the money to build the house. At least my mother told the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be more careful, and nothing else, the most important thing is the yard. And the back garden, don't ask them to break ground, I have made arrangements for those places."

The empress was very happy and moved by his willingness to accept, she nodded her head again and again, until she heard the last sentence, she wondered: "Do you have an arrangement? What arrangement? It's not that the empress despises my son, you are certainly smart." Wisdom, civil and military, but garden design may not be comparable to the gang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are specialized in this, as the saying goes, there is a specialization in art, and these things should be left to professional talents."

Shen Yuanxi smiled and said: "The courtyard and garden in my mansion don't need any design. The queen mother forgot? Your daughter-in-law is a great farmer. When she married me, she made an appointment with me and said that she would never be a husband. The little woman who teaches her children will continue to farm after she gets married to grow better food and crops for the people of the world. The man promised her a thousand gold, and since I promised her, I have no reason to go back. But now she is the princess, It is impossible to freely come and go to the countryside, so my son always wants to give her a place to realize her dreams..."

"So you want to take all the backyard and garden for her to use as a vegetable garden?"

The queen frowned, and it was obvious that she was dissatisfied with this arrangement.However, Shen Yuanxi nodded naturally: "Yes. Wanqiu and I are both pragmatic people who would rather live without bamboo, food, or meat, and the queen mother doesn't know that the things that Panqiu grows are the most delicious and rare in the world. At that time, not only the vegetable garden, but also a few more greenhouses in the back garden of the Fuzhong, which will be used to grow vegetables and cultivate mushrooms in winter. The queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so I am afraid I don’t know? My brother-in-law opened a restaurant in Daxing County. Last year In winter, just by relying on this pot of vegetables and mushrooms, there are so many customers that you can even reserve a seat several days in advance. That is the suburbs of Beijing. I dare say that even in the capital, there is no such a prosperous restaurant..."

The queen stared at her son in a daze, and when she mentioned her lover, the boy looked beaming with pride and love, his handsome face seemed to be shining.

She had a lot of objections in her heart, and she wanted to take this opportunity to mention the matter of Concubine Mei's niece, but she couldn't help swallowing it now, and said to herself: After all, Yuan Xi and I just met each other, so now we object to him, I'm afraid that we will have sex with me immediately, so it's better to analyze the pros and cons with him after a while, when the mother and son are no longer separated, and he will know my painstaking efforts.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud singing in the courtyard: "The emperor is here."

The queen and Shen Yuanxi hurriedly stood up and came to the door to greet each other. The emperor walked in with a smile and said to Shen Yuanxi: "Finally the family is reunited. Let's have dinner early today and let you go out before the palace gate is locked." How about going home?"

"it is good."

Shen Yuanxi naturally agreed.Here the emperor came to the couch and sat down, and asked his son who was sitting on the next chair: "What did you mother and son say just now? I heard you talking impassionedly and eloquently outside."

The queen laughed and said, "There's no such thing as high-spirited talk, but it's just that his wife is a good farmer, so our son has the intention to turn the front and back yards of the mansion into vegetable gardens for his daughter-in-law to farm."

"Not a vegetable garden."

Shen Yuanxi quickly argued: "In Wanqiu's words, it is called an experimental field, which is specially used to cultivate crops, optimize seeds and graft fruit trees... Anyway, it is used for experiments, like sugar beets, she went on the road first, and the harvest was really good , can make money, and then promote it..."

"Wait, what is cultivating crop-optimized seeds to graft fruit trees?"

Seeing the emperor's very interested expression, Shen Yuanxi was even more excited, and hurriedly said: "I don't really understand the details, my son doesn't know how to farm, and Wanqiu rarely talks to me about these things, she said it was chickens." Duck talk. Let me tell you an example. I was shocked when I heard this example that day, and I’m afraid the father, the queen, and the queen have never heard of it.”

"Oh? What example? Don't underestimate us. Although your mother and I were born in a wealthy family and have never traveled around the world, we are familiar with thousands of books and know the world's affairs."

Shen Yuanxi smiled proudly: "But father, queen, have you heard of Shuangtao?"

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What is my way? Who doesn't know the double-eared rice? It is auspicious from heaven, very rare."

"It's not this kind of double-eared rice, but... Think about it, father and mother, if every plant of our rice is double-eared rice, then all the rice in the fields will be double-eared rice or even multi-eared rice. How about that?"

"What will happen then?" The queen blinked: "How can such a thing happen? I'm afraid that the gods are going to descend to the earth, right? Otherwise, how could there be so much auspiciousness?"

After all, the emperor was concerned about farming, so he immediately grasped the point of the words, took a breath, and murmured: "It's all double-eared rice, so... doesn't it mean that the yield of rice can be increased by more than [-]%? Even ... fully doubled? This...how is this possible?"

Shen Yuanxi clapped his hands, and offered a flattery by the way: "Father is still wise, and sons and ministers also thought of what my mother thought that day. It was only after Wanqiu pointed out that I thought of this level. Although it may not be possible to make Shuangsui Rice is researched, but that’s what the experimental field is for. Besides, even if you can’t grow double-eared rice, it’s good to make the flesh of the watermelon a little sweeter.”

"So you want to build a test field for your daughter-in-law just to do these things?"

"Correct."

Shen Yuanxi nodded.The emperor tapped the table with his fingers a few times, his eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep thought: "If that's the case, I'll be sure of this test field, but there is one thing, no matter what kind of double-eared rice or watermelon, your daughter-in-law has to tinker with it. You just have to come, otherwise wouldn’t it just be a laughing stock? This is not good.”

"Father, Ban Qiu has never failed in farming. Mushrooms, beets, sweet potatoes, peanuts, potatoes and corn... which one is not her credit?"

"Stop." The emperor waved his hand: "The corn hasn't been planted yet. By the way, go back and ask your wife, when will she come to plant corn for me? There is also an experimental field in the palace, which is more than ten acres, and I will give it to her. If, as she said, this corn can be planted, I will definitely reward you a lot."

"There, I will first thank my father for Ban Qiu."

Shen Yuanxi quickly got up to salute and thank him, he was so confident in his daughter-in-law's farming ability.

"Don't be too excited, kid, it hasn't been planted yet."

The emperor glared at Shen Yuanxi, and suddenly the queen smiled and said, "I'm a little curious about the lively talk. Could it be that our daughter-in-law is Shennong who descended to the mortal world? One day Yuanxi, you bring her into the palace, and show me too. I heard that she is a neat and beautiful woman, besides, even if she is not beautiful, an ugly daughter-in-law still wants to see her parents-in-law, right?"
