Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Lord Feng has not seen the real thing, so he will not make a conclusion immediately, but according to Lao Ren’s explanation, it is indeed a high yield.

Father Li reminded them, "The corn will grow bigger day by day. If you want to record it, you two adults have to come and observe it every day. Aye and the others will not be at home in a few days, and I may also be doing business in the shop and not be at home often. I will give you a key to the front door later."

"Is this... appropriate?" Ren Huaimin was quite shocked. Just giving away his house key so easily?

Father Li smiled and said, "Of course it's appropriate. Oh, by the way, I heard from the village chief that you don't plan to continue to ask the women in the village to help with cooking. I will eat alone then. If you don't mind me coming back late, how about coming to my house to eat together?"

"Brother Li, you are too polite. We are the ones who disturbed you. So we won't be polite to you either. It is better to obey than to be respectful." Ren Huaimin smiled and bowed.

Lord Feng also bowed: "Thank you, Brother Li."

Father Li responded: "You're welcome."

Ren Huaimin originally wanted to eat at the Li family's house, of course, he had to pay for it, but plans couldn't keep up with changes, and the chef Xin Ye and his wife were going back to visit their parents, alas...

Now it’s about eating one more meal and earning another.

Xin Ye said that he would return to Dashan Village next year. They had to go back to the capital to report before the New Year. They would report back with the corn when it was ripe.

They just came to take a look today, and Ren Huaimin and Lord Feng tacitly agreed not to start working right away.

Sniff sniff...

With the smell of such delicious food and their hungry stomachs, how could they concentrate on working?

Hua Muyu helped run errands to call a few people back to eat. Lord Feng and Ren Huaimin couldn't help but quicken their pace. At this time, there were four tables set up in the yard, three of which were occupied by the guards. The main table was already set with dishes and chopsticks. Hua Murong immediately asked everyone to sit down.

Bone and chopped green onion soup, braised spareribs, steamed fish, boiled chicken, stir-fried water spinach and spicy stir-fried water spinach stems, garlic sweet potato dish, and smashed cucumber.

Tonight's meal is relatively light. They have been making mooncakes every day these days and can't eat much meat and fish. The braised spare ribs and boiled chicken are specially made to entertain the two adults who came from afar. Otherwise, Xin Ye would be too lazy to take the time to make so many meat dishes.

The milky white bone soup is dotted with green chopped green onions, the tempting braised spareribs, and the green vegetables are shiny and oily...

Lord Feng finally got to taste the Xinye cooking that Ren Huaimin had always dreamed of. The taste was no worse than the imperial court cuisine!

The most important thing is that these simple dishes are full of home warmth and are rare delicacies that even the emperor cannot eat!

Tsk tsk tsk... What a profit, luckily he was thick-skinned enough to pester Lord Mu to let him come with him, otherwise he would not be able to eat such delicious and rare food.

After eating and drinking, everyone started chatting. Lord Feng did not deliberately inquire about the Hua family's affairs, but just threw the topic to them when he talked about some interesting things in the capital. The two elders of the Hua family spoke very plainly, but the young boy kept talking.

None of them had any intention of stopping the young man. They all looked so open and honest that Lord Feng was convinced that they were from the Hua family of Shacheng.

But in the end, reason told him that he must speak with facts. These were the contents that had to be reported to the emperor, and he was not allowed to draw conclusions based on his subjective guesswork.

After returning from Li's house, Lord Feng locked himself in his bedroom and took out paper and pen to write a letter. He wrote two copies of the letter.

A letter to his immediate superior, Mr. Mu, recording his observations today on corn and water spinach, with a focus on the taste of water spinach and sweet potato.

Another one was written to his father, who was one of the emperor's trusted ministers. It also wrote about high-yield grain corn and fresh vegetables such as water spinach and sweet potato. It was almost the same content as the previous one.

But the focus of this letter is the marriage between the Li and Hua families.

Here he used the word "suspected", indicating that he would continue to send people to investigate and follow up. As for whether Li's wife Yan was the eldest daughter of the Hua family, whether to report it to the emperor first was a headache for his father. Anyway, he truthfully confessed that there was such a thing.

After finishing writing, Lord Feng stood up and found two guards, instructing one of them to deliver the letter back to the capital, and the other to go to Shacheng first to inquire about the news and confirm whether Li Yan was really the eldest daughter of the Hua family. At the same time, he reminded him to be careful, after all, that was the Hua family.

In fact, the easiest way to verify it is to follow them back to Sand City and watch them enter Hua Mansion with your own eyes, but this is obviously not advisable. The only way is to go to Sand City in advance and find a place to wait for them to come back.

"Also, the distance from Sand City to here is quite far. After you confirm Li Yan's identity, you should go back to the capital first, tell my father the news, and listen to my father's arrangements. At the same time, you must also write me a reply."

As he spoke, Lord Feng looked at the guard who had gone to report to his father first: "You should bring another team of guards with you when the time comes. We need to protect the new seeds and return to the capital to report."

Moreover, from what Lao Ren said, this season's sweet potatoes also had to be brought back to the emperor, and they couldn't take care of it with just a few people, especially as it was snowing in the capital at that time and the road to the north was difficult to travel.

The two guards immediately responded, "Yes."

The next morning, two guards left Dashan Village on horseback. The secret guard on duty discovered them and immediately reported it to Hua Murong. Hua Murong vaguely guessed their purpose and did not stop them. After all, they were not doing anything illegal.

Isn’t it just about the eldest daughter of the Hua family marrying a country boy?

Oh, when he brings his brother-in-law back, he will give those high-handed people a good slap in the face. Not to mention his other merits, just this face of his brother-in-law is enough to make Yi'er proud!

After being busy for half a month, they suddenly took a break. Except for Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi who slept in soundly, everyone else got up early at the reminder of their biological clock, but found that they didn't have to work. After morning exercise, they found that they had nothing to do, so they ate breakfast and went back to their room to take a nap.

Only Hua Murong still insisted on reading books and writing articles, determined to rank among the top three in the exam to bring honor to the family. At the same time, this would give her a choice when applying for an overseas assignment.

Of course, if the Ministry of Personnel gave him a choice, he wouldn't mind taking a sword and going to the Minister of Personnel's residence at night.

The Minister of Personnel, who was attending the morning court at this time, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and his heart beat a few times. He suddenly felt that watching the Ministry of Rites arguing about how to organize the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was boring.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, foreign envoys came to see the emperor, and they were arguing about whether to use sweet potatoes to entertain the envoys. Some people thought that this was a good opportunity to promote the Kingdom of Zhao and it would promote friendly cooperation between the two countries. Others thought that sweet potatoes were not yet fully popular and should not be promoted, otherwise they would attract the attention of some thieves.

In short, the husband said he was right and the wife said she was right. The emperor did not stop them. He just watched them arguing until they were red in the face, and found it quite interesting.
