The Rise of a Farm Girl

Xuanyuan Yue saw that Eunuch Liu ignored her, so she could only stop while she was ahead. If the emperor knew that she had eaten his potato seeds, he would definitely get angry!

Wang Jingru curled her lips. There was no good person in this royal family, except her eldest brother.

The emperor took his own 10 kilograms of potatoes, and with an imperial decree, he conferred himself the title of a county lady and gave him such a small amount of silver. This emperor was very stingy.

This princess is not a good person either. She just tried to attack him. He will remember this grudge.

After a peaceful night, the rain stopped at dawn, and the armor on the soldiers was dry. It might have stopped raining in the middle of the night.

Xuanyuan Yue was anxious to return to the imperial city, so as soon as dawn broke, he and his guards mounted their horses and headed towards the imperial city.

Wang Jingru and her team built a fire and roasted some meat. After breakfast, the team continued on their journey.

The team marched forward in a mighty manner and everything went smoothly along the way. After ten days of marching, the team finally arrived at the imperial city.

Wang Jingru and her group's carriage passed through the downtown area and headed towards the imperial palace.

Wang Jingru found everything curious. She lifted the car curtain and looked outside.

Wang Laosan said that after meeting the emperor, he would spend a few more days playing with your mother in this imperial city.

Just as Wang Jingru was looking around, she was seen by the general's wife, Yang Li, who was shopping.

Yang Li stood there in a daze. The girl just now looked too much like her daughter.

Ever since his daughter went missing, he has been crying all day, depressed, and his health has been getting worse and worse.

Today, it was my two elderly sons who, seeing that I stayed in the house all day, urged me to come out for a walk.

Before he had even taken two walks, his two sons had disappeared again.

Seeing this little girl actually reminded her of her own daughter.

Because this little girl looks so much like his daughter.

Yang Li quickly ordered the maid beside her to find out who was in the carriage that just passed by.

The maid didn't understand why, but she walked forward quickly to get the news.

Because the scene that just happened was quite a big one, and with Eunuch Liu sitting in the carriage and the convoy, they soon found out what had happened.

The carriage that just passed by was the one that the emperor had newly appointed as the county lord.

Yang Li was very interested in the news the maid had inquired about. She was eager to know what the county lady's mother looked like and what her name was.

Also interested in Wang Jingru was the War King Wu Tianyang who was having dinner at the restaurant.

When the King of War saw Wang Jingru's face, he remembered an old friend who had disappeared. This person was none other than Wang Jingru's mother, Yuwen Jiao.

Because Yu Wenjiao is his master's aunt, what's going on?

It was because Wu Tianyang joined the army at the age of 15, and by chance, he became Yu Wenhua's disciple.

From then on, he followed Yu Wenhua. It can be said that this young man who had just joined the army was all brought up by Yu Wenhua.

Wu Tianyang knew some martial arts, and with Yu Wenhua teaching him all his martial arts, he quickly stood out in the military camp.

He gradually became more capable and accomplished numerous military exploits over the years, surpassing the reputation of General Yuwen Hua.

Later, he separated from his master, each of them guarded a different area and had military power.

Because the place where Wu Tianyang was stationed was very dangerous, there were always harassment and invasion by foreign enemies, and many small-scale wars occurred every year.

As time goes by, the contributions will become greater and greater.

In the end, he was named the War King of a Different Surname. During the years he followed Yu Wenhua, he also returned to the imperial city several times.

From then on, he met his master's sister Yuwen Jiao, and they became familiar with each other.

His nun was also very kind to him and even made him several sets of clothes and shoes.

He also had deep feelings for this master's wife. Yu Wenjiao's concern and care for him made him feel the love and care of his family.

But when my aunt was 15 years old, she was assassinated and disappeared, never to be found again.

In the first few years after his master disappeared, he searched everywhere for her.

When I saw Wang Jingru’s face today, I remembered my senior sister.

Wu Tianyang quickly asked the guards around him to find out the name and identity of the girl who had just passed by and where she lived.

The guard left the restaurant quickly and went to do the task assigned to him by his master.

Wang Jingru had no idea at all, it was just out of her momentary curiosity.

When he lifted the curtain and looked out for a while, he attracted the attention of two people.

I don't know that these two people are investigating her. Soon several people came to the palace, and Potato was directly pulled into the palace.

The emperor had already received the news when they entered the palace.

He had been waiting in the hall early in the morning, as he wanted to see the land first. Wang Jingru and her parents followed closely behind Eunuch Liu.

Wang Jingru was very excited, as she would soon be able to see the emperor. Wang Laosan and his wife were so nervous that sweat broke out on their noses.

Just when they were getting nervous, a surprised voice came from behind them. Xuanyuan Lei said happily behind them, "Godfather and stepmother, Jingru is my sister."

The three of them turned around and saw that it was Xuanyuan Lei. They were very happy to see that it was Xuanyuan Lei.

I was originally very nervous, but when I saw Xuanyuan Lei so happy, I forgot about my nervousness and fear.

Xuanyuan Lei knew that the three people had entered the imperial city, so he hurried to the palace.

Fortunately, he arrived at the right time. Xuanyuan Lei walked up to them and said, "Let's go! I will go with you to meet the emperor."

Several people nodded, and Eunuch Liu led the way, and soon they arrived at the Golden Palace.

Eunuch Liu hurried forward to pay his respects to the emperor, and several people knelt down to pay homage to the emperor.

The emperor quickly said, "Everyone, please stand up."

Just as he finished speaking, the carriage carrying potatoes arrived, and the emperor had no time to bother with them.

He hurried out of the hall, went down the stone steps and came to the carriage. Eunuch Liu personally lifted the straw curtain on the carriage. The emperor was very excited when he saw the big round potatoes in the carriage.

He kept saying, "Okay, okay, Eunuch Liu, take these potatoes to the imperial farm and make sure to plant them all, and distribute the seeds for next year to the people."

Wang Jingru told Eunuch Liu that these potatoes must be stored in a cool and ventilated place.

Eunuch Liu thanked him repeatedly. The emperor returned to the main hall and sat on his dragon throne. Wang Jingru and the others followed him into the main hall.

The emperor smiled and said, "Lei'er, how come you have time today to come to your uncle's place?"

Uncle Huang, Lei'er hasn't come to see you for a while. Doesn't he miss you?

They came today, and my adoptive father, stepmother, and my sister who is the county lord have all come to the imperial city. How could I not come?

By the way, I will invite my adoptive father and mother to stay at my house for a few days.

The emperor was a little puzzled and asked, "When did you recognize your adoptive father and mother?" Xuanyuan Lei pointed at Wang Laosan and his wife and said, "My adoptive father and mother are here!"

The emperor opened his eyes wide with an incredible expression.

My eldest nephew actually knows Wang Jingru's family and they have a very close relationship.

But that's not right! When did Xuanyuan Lei, that brat, go to Xinghai County?

How could he not remember? He only remembered that he disappeared that year and went to Huaqing County.

Wang Jingru saw the emperor's doubts, bowed to the emperor and said, "Our family is from Xinghai County, Taohuang Road. We originally lived in Wangjia Village, Daqing Town, Huaqing County."

After hearing this, the emperor finally resolved his doubts.

The emperor also talked with Wang Jingru about some methods of growing potatoes and how to preserve them.

The most important point is that Wang Jingru emphasized that potatoes with sprouts must not be eaten, as it will cause poisoning.

Moreover, potatoes must be cooked. If they are half-cooked, eating them will cause poisoning.

The emperor also granted Wang Jingru a mansion in the imperial city. The emperor thought about arranging a position for Wang Laosan. Since his daughter was already a county lady, his father should also be given an official position.

But Wang Laosan had not received much education, so he was given an official position as Si Nong.

He was given a third-rank official post, which was high, but only in charge of planting.

He also manages the affairs of the imperial farm, which is the royal farm.

It covers several hundred acres and has many officials who study crop growth and various diseases and insect pests.

Wang Laosan was very shocked and stood there in a daze. It was Xuanyuan Lei who reminded him that his adoptive father, the emperor, had appointed him as an official, so he should express his gratitude quickly!

Only then did Wang Laosan kneel on the ground and kowtow to the Emperor, and your subject Wang Tiekui thanked the Emperor for His Grace.

The emperor laughed and said, "The mansion has been arranged for you. It is up to you to decide when to move in."

All right, all of you leave! Several people left the hall and left the palace. They originally planned to stay in an inn, but Xuanyuan Lei disagreed.

But he also knew that the palace where he lived was full of traps, and that there was no end to the intrigues and deceptions.

Xuanyuan Lei said that your mansion has not been cleaned up yet. So you can live in my other house first!

There are no outsiders there, and I will live there sometimes. Wang Jingru nodded in agreement. Since Wang Jingru agreed, his parents naturally had no objection.

So, led by Xuanyuan Lei, a few people took a carriage to his other house in the imperial city.

Wang Jingru and her family settled down and lived in this house with a housekeeper and servants.

The house was very clean. After settling down, Wang Jingru was a person who couldn't sit still, and soon went for a stroll on the street, while Wang Laosan was given an official title and became the Minister of Agriculture.

Wang Jingru was also the county princess. I heard that her two brothers were county magistrates.

Although the position is low-ranking, since all the family members are officials, wouldn't promotion be just around the corner?

Moreover, he had a prince as his adopted son. In this case, it was unreasonable for officials not to curry favor with him. His family received invitations one after another.

What was most surprising was that King Zhan actually sent a visiting card, wanting to visit his home.

When Wang Laosan heard that King Zhan was coming to visit him, there was no reason for him to refuse.

So he hurriedly made arrangements, and not only did he receive a visiting card from the King of War, he also received a visiting card from the General's Mansion.

The two families had already found out that Wang Laosan's name was Wang Tiekui and his wife's name was Yuwen Jiao.

When the two families heard Yu Wenjiao's name, they wanted to rush directly to Xuanyuan Lei's house.

Find out the truth and see if this is the person they have been thinking about.

But it is not against the rules to go there directly. It would be very embarrassing if they rushed in rashly, if it weren't for their Jiaojiao.

They are officials of the current dynasty and cannot do such ridiculous things.

Their visiting card was sent the morning before, saying they would come to visit the next day.

Just this morning, before dawn, the whole family got up.

It's really inappropriate to go to someone else's house at dawn.

After waiting for another hour, the whole family got on the carriage and rushed to the house where Wang Jingru and her family lived.

As soon as their carriage stopped, the War King's carriage also stopped behind them.

Everyone got off the carriage, and Xuanyuan Lei was waiting outside the house early. Xuanyuan Lei and Wang Laosan invited everyone in.

When everyone sat in the hall, they could no longer control their emotions.
