Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

The second prince vented his anger at the guards lying on the ground and had to ask them to continue looking for the whereabouts of the wet nurse. Who exactly was this wet nurse working for and how much information had she passed on to the outside world? All these needed to be carefully interrogated after the wet nurse was captured.

Seeing the guards retreat, the Second Prince's wife, who was sitting beside them, looked at the Second Prince with a worried look on her face.

"Your sister-in-law is really a good person. She dares to send anyone to you!"

Originally, this wet nurse was introduced by the Second Prince's wife's eldest sister-in-law, who said that she was a distant relative of hers and knew her inside out. The Second Prince's wife thought that she was introduced by her eldest sister-in-law, so she did not doubt it too much and let the wet nurse into the house.

Over the past year or so, the wet nurse has been very considerate and attentive to the little granddaughter in the Second Prince's Mansion. The Second Prince's wife did not have much to complain about the wet nurse in this regard. However, she never expected that the wet nurse was harboring evil intentions and was hiding so deeply that she was actually a spy sent by someone else.

When the eldest brother of the Second Prince's wife sent people to track down the wet nurse's house, they found that the house was empty. It was unknown whether she had been secretly hidden or silenced.

But no matter how the second prince's wife's elder brother questioned her, her sister-in-law said she didn't know anything. Moreover, as the second prince's wife's family, she and the second prince's family would rise and fall together. She had no reason to help outsiders to harm her own people. Helplessly, the second prince's wife's elder brother could only temporarily imprison her sister-in-law.

At this time, everyone in Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion was plunged into gloom and sorrow.

"Look at you, you evil creature, what trouble you have caused! I asked you to study but you didn't study hard. When your elder brother was your age, he was preparing for the imperial examination. I finally got you a place by imperial favor. I originally planned to let you go to the Imperial Academy for two years to polish your skills. I also hoped that you could be like your elder brother and bring back some fame for the family. But you are different. You have been dissolute all day long. Now look, you have caused such a big mess!"

Jin Wenshao was kneeling in the Jin family ancestral hall. Jin Yuanming looked very disappointed with his son, but he couldn't beat him with the family rules. He could only stand there with his hands on his hips and kept scolding his youngest son.

Although Jin Wenshao was kneeling on the mat, his face was full of resentment. He felt that he was really wronged. He had suffered the heart-wrenching torture for four consecutive months, and now all of this was blamed on himself.

Hearing his father constantly scolding him, he looked up at his grandfather who loved him the most in the past and stood silently in front of the ancestral tablet. Jin Wenshao felt extremely wronged. The anger mixed with the grievance finally made him muster up the courage to tell his father what was in his heart.

"Dad, now that something has happened, all the blame has been put on me. Have you ever thought that I might be the real victim? When others want to deal with the Second Prince, they start with the people around him. Do you know how I survived every full moon night? I was so miserable that I wanted to peel off the skin on my body. Now, all you know is to criticize me here!"

Seeing his son crying and screaming at him heartbreakingly, Jin Yuanming felt as if his heart was stabbed by a blunt knife. It was really painful for a moment.

Jin Yuanming finally couldn't hold on any longer. He dropped the family rules in his hand and sat down on the ground.

When Marquis Dingyuan saw the appearance of the father and son, he felt heartbroken, but he could only sigh helplessly.

The Imperial College, like the government offices, had one day off every ten days, which were basically the first, eleventh and twenty-first days of every month.

The Imperial College would also arrange holidays on certain festivals. For example, on the recent Shangsi Festival on the third day of March, the Imperial College would usually give a three-day holiday together with the ten-day holiday on the first day of the lunar month.

On February 21st in Shengjing, the weather began to gradually warm up. Master Ye Changyan and his disciples got on a horse-drawn carriage and went to the farm in Sanyuan County.

As the farm was not notified in advance, when Ye Changyan and his disciples arrived at the farm, Yang Lin's family and the two grandsons of the housekeeper Dai Xing were busy in the greenhouse.

The two brothers Dahu and Erhu are having a day off today and are also helping out in the greenhouse.

Ye Changyan lifted the door curtain of the greenhouse where strawberries were grown. When the master and his disciples walked in, they felt that it was as warm as early summer. They quickly took off their thick coats and went inside to check on the growth of the strawberries.

"Teacher, look, the strawberries we planted are growing very well!"

Seeing the green strawberries in front of him, Ye Changyan pointed at the strawberries planted by him and his master and disciples, and shouted excitedly to Mr. Cai.

Liang Jingcheng saw bees flying in the greenhouse, so he stared at the bees carefully, and then he saw many white flowers blooming at the bottom of the strawberry seedlings, and some vines were already hanging with small green strawberries.

"Wow! Look, there are already strawberries growing on the strawberry seedlings!"

When Xing Wang heard this, he was so excited that he squatted down first to check. Ye Changyan and Cai Lao also squatted down to check. Sure enough, they found many green strawberries hanging on the vines, and bees were busy collecting nectar on some blooming flowers.

Ye Changyan and his disciples were all delighted. At this time, Da Hu heard the noise and ran over. He saw the master and his disciples looking around excitedly in the strawberry field, so he hurried to call his father.

Yang Lin ran over quickly, greeted Teacher Cai and his disciples, and then introduced Strawberry.

"The climate in this greenhouse is warm, and the strawberries are growing well. Erhu was the first to discover that the strawberries were blooming. Fortunately, the Seventh Young Master asked me to find someone to share two boxes of bees. I quickly brought the beehives to this greenhouse. The weather has been good these days, and the bees are active. I can already see the strawberries bearing fruit."

Yang Lin also had an excited look on his face. He lifted up the strawberry leaves, pointed at the exposed flowers and fruits, and introduced them to Master Ye Changyan and his apprentice.

Mr. Cai kept nodding his head and was very satisfied with the growth of the strawberries.

Then, led by Yang Lin, the master and his disciples went to take a walk around several other greenhouses.

I saw that the cucumbers had begun to grow vines. Dai Song was inserting branches into each cucumber seedling, while Dai Bai was tying ropes to the cucumbers that had been inserted into the branches so that the cucumbers could grow upwards along the branches.

Mr. Cai saw that the two brothers were working very hard and nodded continuously.

The eggplants in another greenhouse have already grown buds, and it looks like they will grow eggplants soon. Mr. Cai has been looking forward to the fish-flavored eggplants for a long time.

After walking around the greenhouses, Mr. Cai saw that the vegetables were growing very well. Outside the greenhouses, the farmers in Shengjing had just started to turn the land for crop rotation.

Looking at the vegetables that had already blossomed and bore fruit in the greenhouse, Mr. Cai realized that Ye Changyan's greenhouse seemed to have great prospects.
