The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

"Dad, are you busy?" Gu Yin held on to the door frame of her father's office with one hand, stuck her head out and asked Gu Huaiyi who was sitting in the room working.

When Gu Huaiyi heard his daughter's voice, he immediately touched his head. He felt that he was losing more and more hair recently.

Gu Yin naturally also saw his father's actions and couldn't help but shrink his head, feeling inexplicably guilty.

"Come in, what's the matter this time?" Gu Huaiyi said helplessly.

"Hehe..." Gu Yin walked in from behind the door and said to Gu Huaiyi with a smile, "Dad really has a sharp eye. Nothing can escape your eyes."

As Gu Yin said this, she placed the waterwheel mill model on the table in front of Gu Huaiyi, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and asked excitedly: "Look, what is this?"

After Gu Huaiyi figured out the waterwheel mill, the expression on his face was one of excitement and a hint of worry.

What excited him was that this was another new tool that would benefit the common people. He could foresee what kind of sensation this waterwheel mill would cause once it was promoted.

What worries him is that he now has one more thing to worry about, and he doesn't know if he can still handle it.

Now he certainly doesn’t have to worry about his political achievements, but I don’t know if he can keep his hair.

Having such a troublesome daughter is really a happy trouble.

"Dad, what's wrong? Isn't this waterwheel mill good?" Gu Yin asked curiously when she saw her father's expression changing from happy to worried to thoughtful.

"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about! Who dares to say this is bad?" Gu Huaiyi glared at Gu Yin lightly.

Gu Huaiyi originally wanted to say that his hair might not be saved, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was useless to tell his daughter this, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Let's hand over the waterwheel mill to the county government. Tomorrow morning you should get ready and dress appropriately."

"Huh? What for?" Gu Yin wondered why she had to emphasize dressing up so much, which was unlike her father's style.

"The sweet potatoes on the county government farm are ready to be dug up," Gu Huaiyi explained.

Gu Huaiyi thought about the previous incident when Jun Lan came to the county government office to find him, and felt a little worried.

Jun Lan returned to Beijing after he took office, and Gu Huaiyi only then learned that Jun Lan had been recuperating in Ning County.

Now even the emperor has come, and he specifically asked to bring his daughter along, and even Gu Yin cannot be allowed to know Jun Xiao’s identity.

"Okay, I understand." Gu Yin agreed casually. She knew how to dig sweet potatoes.

the next morning,

"Where is my father?" Gu Yin asked Zhenzhu.

"The master said he would go to the farm to arrange things first, and asked you to go there by yourself later." Zhenzhu took out a soft pink dress and was about to put it on Gu Yin.

"Stop, change."

Pearl had no choice but to put the skirt back into the closet and took out a fairy-like aqua blue skirt.

Seeing this, Gu Yin quickly stopped him and said, "Wear something simple today."

"But... the master specifically instructed that you be dressed better." Pearl hesitated.

"You don't understand. My dad asked me to dress appropriately." Gu Yin was very confident when she spoke of this. "Today we are going to the fields to dig sweet potatoes, so we should dress simply. If I were to go to the fields in such a gorgeous dress, I would be laughed at!"

"But... there's no need for you to do it yourself, miss." Pearl always felt something was wrong.

"Oh, just listen to me, you won't go wrong." Gu Yin pinched Zhenzhu's face.

County Yamen Village...

"Yin'er, didn't I tell you to dress more decently? Why are you dressed like this?" Gu Huaiyi's brows were so furrowed that they could pinch a mosquito to death.

"Isn't this inappropriate? It matches the field very well!" As he said this, Gu Yin opened his arms to show off his grey clothes.

"This, this..." Gu Huaiyi choked. He was worried that his daughter would offend the emperor by doing this.

However, it was too late to go back and change clothes, as a carriage came rumbling over from a distance.

"Whoa..." The coachman stopped the carriage.

Jun Xiao got out of the car and was stunned when he saw Gu Yin dressed in gray.

This girl, dressed like this, doesn't she want to dig it herself?

"Why are you here?" Gu Yin was a little surprised to see Jun Lan being carried out of the carriage by Mo Yi.

"Yin'er, do you know each other?" Gu Huaiyi asked in surprise. If they knew each other, why did Jun Lan deliberately remind him not to reveal the emperor's identity casually.

"Yes, Jun Lan and his brother." Gu Yin nodded and replied.

Uh... Gu Huaiyi understood... This girl didn’t know their identities yet, but she didn’t dare to remind her.

He stepped forward and bowed to the two of them.

Jun Xiao was anxious to know the variety of sweet potatoes, so he urged, "Let's go, dig out an acre and weigh it first."

"He's not polite." Gu Yin stood next to Jun Lan and silently complained when she saw Jun Xiao taking the lead in commanding.

"Well, this matter is of great importance." Jun Lan replied in a cold voice, and after a pause he explained, "The sweet potatoes grown by the common people are scattered, so I asked Lord Gu to come here to confirm the situation."

"Oh." Gu Yin came back to her senses now.

Jun Lan must have told Jun Xiao about the sweet potatoes, and then both of them wanted to know the sweet potato production, so for convenience they came directly to the county government farm to confirm it.

Jun Lan is the prince of Cheng'en Palace. His status is much higher than her father's, so it should not be an easy thing for him to come here.

Gu Yin was stopped by his father and ultimately failed to dig the hole himself.

Gu Yin expressed her regret, as she wanted to take this opportunity to experience the pleasure of digging sweet potatoes again.

Jun Xiao watched the guards dig up piles of sweet potatoes with a rare serious expression.

Jun Lan inadvertently glanced at Gu Yin's expression a few times, and saw that there was no surprise on her face about the dug sweet potatoes. It seemed that she was already accustomed to such a scene. Jun Lan couldn't help but lower his brows in thought.

Who is she?

"Sir, one acre of sweet potatoes has been dug." A yamen runner came forward to report.

"Hurry up and weigh it!" Gu Huaiyi's voice trembled. He also saw the strings of stone egg-sized things dug out of the soil.

Gu Huaiyi couldn't imagine that so many sweet potatoes could be dug out from under a vine, so densely packed, what would the yield be from this acre of land.

When he first planted the sweet potato, he only heard Gu Yin say that it could be used to satisfy hunger. He thought it was just an ordinary food, so he didn't ask much.

Now I realize that I missed something so important.

"Five thousand three hundred and eighty kilograms!" Not long after, a yamen runner came forward excitedly to report.

"What?" Gu Huaiyi's eyes widened in shock.

"Sir, the sweet potato yield per mu is 5,380 kilograms!" the yamen runner replied excitedly again.

"This, this, this..." Gu Huaiyi was speechless.

"Hahaha..." Jun Xiao's face was filled with ecstasy. It was true! There really were crops with such a high yield per mu!

Jun Lan quietly clenched his hands on both sides of the wheelchair...
