Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 19: These worm-infected potatoes are more likely to sprout

However, Ying Zheng did not care much, but shook his head and said: "Girl, you don't know what those people in the court say about the First Emperor in private. They think that the First Emperor is cold-blooded and a tyrant. But, doesn't the First Emperor want to live a stable life? But he can't, he has to protect this country and the people of this country. So, he can only grit his teeth and move forward step by step."

"Girl, what you said just now is very right. The First Emperor did bear too many grievances and misunderstandings. But he had no way to explain, and no way to make others understand him. Until today, after listening to what you said, I realized that there are still people in this world who can understand the First Emperor."

Ying Zheng became more and more excited as he spoke, and he was almost unable to suppress himself.

Lin Anlan was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She stared at the former closely for a long time before she said, "Brother, I finally understand why you, a nobleman without an official position, have such great power. It seems that you are very familiar with the First Emperor!"

Meng Yi saw that things were not going well and quickly reminded him, "Brother Zhao, you've drunk too much!"

Ying Zheng finally responded: "Ahem, sorry, little girl, I was a little too excited just now. As for the First Emperor and I, I followed him to war when I was young, and we are related, so I know a little bit."

"It's okay." Lin Anlan smiled and waved his hand.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Meng Er, at the morning court tomorrow, tell the maid's words to the princes and ministers. We can be regarded as relieving the worries of His Majesty the First Emperor. And I also want to see what they will think after listening to it!"

Meng Yi nodded and said, "I understand. I'll make arrangements when I get back!"

At this time, Lin Anlan suddenly said: "Brother, I have an unreasonable request."

"Just say it, little girl."

Lin Anlan hesitated for a moment: "I want to become sisters with your daughter."

When Ying Zheng heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.

Meng Yi's face changed. He had some understanding of the First Emperor. Although he did not attach much importance to the growth of his daughters, he loved them very much. All ten daughters he gave birth to were his darlings. So he hurriedly whispered, "Mr. Lin, Brother Zhao has no daughters."

Lin Anlan looked unconvinced: "How could there be no daughter? My brother is a nobleman after all, he should have many wives, how could he not have a daughter at all?"

This was embarrassing. She coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, forget it. Let's not talk about this matter anymore."

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi looked at each other, both a little puzzled. Why did Lin Anlan suddenly come up with such an idea? However, the three of them did not bring up this topic again, but continued to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Ying Zheng asked, "Girl, how are the potatoes you mentioned earlier?"

"In about three or four days, we should be able to harvest."

Ying Zheng nodded and continued to ask: "Are those wormy potatoes used as seeds?"

Lin Anlan nodded: "That's right."

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi looked at each other with confusion.

Seeing this, Lin Anlan smiled and said, "Do you find it strange? The potatoes are obviously infested with worms, so why can they still be used as seeds?"

Without waiting for the two to respond, she explained, "This is because potatoes have a strong ability to germinate. Even if they are infested with insects, as long as they are not rotten, they can sprout. Moreover, according to my research, potatoes with insects are more likely to sprout and grow faster."

Ying Zheng and Meng Yi were confused and obviously didn't understand the principle behind this.

Lin Anlan did not explain too much. After all, some things are simply beyond the understanding of this era.

Ying Zheng suddenly saw some strange things placed on the side and was very curious: "Girl, what are these things used for?"

Lin Anlan smiled mysteriously: "This is a surprise prepared for you. Let's talk about it in two days. Then you can participate in the investment. But I'll be frank with you. Any investment has risks. No matter how big or small the investment is, if you lose money in the future, don't come to me for trouble!"

"Mr. Lin, according to what you said, isn't there a risk in anything we do?" Meng Yi asked doubtfully.

Lin Anlan nodded: "That's right, any investment will have risks, even emperors and generals cannot avoid it. However, the power of emperors and generals is supreme, and ordinary people can't compete with it. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Ying Zheng asked.

Lin Anlan hesitated for a moment: "Unless you can usurp the throne and become emperor, you will never be able to escape this rule. Of course, this is just my personal opinion and should not be taken seriously."

"No, you are right." Ying Zheng sighed.

Meng Yi was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat: Mr. Lin really dares to say anything! It must be that Your Majesty appreciates him, otherwise, the grass on the graves of a hundred Lin Anlans would be three feet high.

So he quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Brother Zhao, Mr. Lin should be eighteen this year, right?"

"probably."

"Brother Zhao, don't you have a son? Otherwise, I can be a matchmaker for Mr. Lin?" Meng Yi said with a smile.

Lin Anlan: ???

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was in a good mood! Why didn't he think of this? When the girl proposed to become sworn brothers with his daughter, he only thought about whether the news about his precious daughter had been leaked, and forgot about this matter.

He immediately responded with a smile: "That's a good idea! Girl, I have a son who is 22 years old this year. If you don't mind, I will arrange for you to meet later."

Lin Anlan was silent for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "No need! I'm still young!"

"You are not young anymore, Mr. Lin. Most people at this age are already mothers." Meng Yi was not willing to give up. If he could make this marriage happen, His Majesty would definitely be very happy.

"If Mr. Meng likes, he can propose marriage to my brother! I wish Mr. Meng to get married soon!" Lin Anlan stared at the former. If looks could kill, the successor of our Meng family army would have been cut into pieces!

"Hehe, Mr. Lin misunderstood, I was just joking." Meng Yi quickly explained.

Lin Anlan snorted coldly: "I was just kidding."

Meng Yi smiled awkwardly and stopped talking. Ying Zheng coughed a few times and said, "Girl, when your potatoes are ripe, we will come to visit you again. Oh, and the sweet potatoes I mentioned before."

Lin Anlan finally calmed down and nodded, "Well, when you come, it's best to bring a few more people so that we won't be too busy."

The former agreed, and before leaving, she reminded him: "Brother, please keep the matter of potatoes and sweet potatoes a secret! This matter is of great importance!"

"Don't worry, this matter is known to heaven and earth, and you and I know it."

Lin Anlan finally felt relieved. After sending the two away, she was thinking about how to embarrass them the next time they came.

"You dare to make fun of me? I want to see if you can still laugh then!" She snorted coldly, and had already started planning how to take revenge on the two guys.
