No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Lin Mingyan returned to Linfengju, and she couldn't tell whether she was in a good or bad mood.

She had anticipated Fu Jin's actions, which was why she was able to get the job of delivering gifts so quickly.

It not only made her lose face, but also solved the trouble of paying respects.

But in fact, she would rather the wife not cause trouble. If she could get along with her, Lin Mingyan would be able to accept a greeting and ask for her well-being.

For the sake of the Fourth Master and for the sake of Lady Fu Jin who came first, she could lower her head.

But she insisted on causing trouble. It will give me headaches in the future. It’s really annoying~

She took a spoon and stirred the lily porridge on the table, but didn't put a single bite into her mouth.

The Fourth Master rushed back in a hurry. Seeing her like this, he sighed and came over to take the spoon from her hand.

"Mixing the pig food, little pig?" he joked.

Lin Mingyan was indeed amused, and angrily threw her handkerchief at him: "Humph, it's all your pig's fault!"

Some people have pig brains, but she is not!

"Okay, okay, I won't be angry anymore." The Fourth Master scooped a spoonful of porridge and fed her: "Hurry up and eat breakfast. After that, I will take you to a nice place."

Lin Mingyan swallowed it for the sake of courtesy and asked, "Where?"

The Fourth Master fed her mouthful by mouthful and told her about today's arrangements.

"Ah? Going horseback riding in the suburbs?" Lin Mingyan's eyes widened: "But I haven't learned it yet."

The fourth master smiled and said, "I'll take you for a ride and we can even fly a kite."

February is windy and a great time to fly kites.

Lin Mingyan immediately quickened the pace at which she drank the porridge, and the Fourth Master fed her a large bowl of lily and rice porridge mouthful by mouthful.

The Fourth Master had already had breakfast, and the two of them changed into narrow-sleeved riding and archery uniforms before going out to ride horses.

Lin Mingyan touched the cuffs of her clothes and asked curiously, "I can't even ride a horse yet, and I already have riding and archery uniforms?"

The Fourth Master patted her small bun and said, "I've been planning it since the New Year and have already prepared it for you."

"Master is so nice!" Lin Mingyan gave out a good guy card without hesitation.

The Fourth Master laughed loudly and urged the horse: "Gee~~"

As the horses' hooves clattered along the official road, Lin Mingyan felt the spring breeze blowing towards her, and the depression in her heart was swept away.

After running for a while and out of the city gate, the Fourth Master slowed down the horse and let it walk forward leisurely.

Lin Mingyan finally realized it and said, "Huh? It's just the two of us this time? Where are the servants?"

When has the Fourth Master ever traveled in such a simple manner?

Even when he was dressed up as an ordinary person to guess riddles, Su Peisheng and others were following not far away.

This time she looked around but couldn't see anyone.

The Fourth Master saw her looking around and was afraid she would fall, so he put his arm around her waist and said, "Be careful, there's no one behind you."

"Is it really just us?" Lin Mingyan was a little unconvinced.

The Fourth Master whispered in his ear, "They've all gone ahead and are guarding the fields at the terminal village."

If a prince goes out without anyone else, he is really courting his life.

After all, there are still many fools who want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and secretly make things difficult for the Aisin Gioro family.

When Lin Mingyan learned that she had someone to protect her, she stopped asking questions and happily enjoyed the spring breeze.

The two men didn't care about their destination and just rode their horses forward aimlessly.

It is mid-February now. Although it is still a bit cold, people have to work hard after the first month of the lunar year. Farmers in the suburbs are busy working in the fields in groups of three or four.

Spring wheat is being planted in the capital. We are now tending to the land and will be able to sow it next month.

No matter when, people who deal with the land have a hard time.

Rich families use oxen to plow the fields, while poor people can only dig the fields themselves with a hoe.

Lin Mingyan thought about how she almost went crazy doing farm work in her previous life, and suddenly she lost the mood to play.

She stretched out her finger and poked the Fourth Master's hard belly: "Master, let's go down and see what they are planting?"

She saw two half-grown children not far away, digging the ground on the edge of the field, as if they were planting something.

Farmers are reluctant to waste even an inch of land, and they also plant some side dishes on the ridges of the fields.

The Fourth Master didn't care. He brought Cha Cha out just to let her relax, so anything was fine with her.

After tying the horse to a tree by the roadside, the two of them walked towards the two children.

The two men were covered in dirt and were digging a hole with a half-sized hoe.

Lin Mingyan asked curiously, "What are you planting?"

The child who was concentrating on digging a hole was startled: "Ah! You...what are you doing?"

They should be sisters. They looked up at the two glamorous people and were a little scared.

The round-faced sister hurriedly hid behind her thin sister. The sister swallowed her saliva and stared at them under the pressure.

Lin Mingyan smiled gently and introduced herself, "We're from the capital. We saw you were growing something, so we came to ask about it."

My sister pursed her lips and didn't dare to answer. She heard that there were people taking pictures of beggars in the suburbs recently, and if you talked to strangers, you might be taken away.

She blocked her sister and looked at the two strangers, trembling and almost crying.

Lin Mingyan:...No, is she that scary?

The Fourth Master took a look and saw what the little girl was thinking. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to her.

"We're not bad people. My wife is just curious about what you're growing," he explained. "Just tell her, and the silver will be yours."

My sister's eyes widened as she looked at the heavy silver in her hand.

I estimate it to be around 70 or 80 taels!

Giving them so much money must be a very kind person.

A great philanthropist is not a beggar!

The elder sister pulled her younger sister to her feet and said thank you: "Thank you for the reward."

My sister followed her and forced a smile, which made a big snot bubble appear.

Lin Mingyan was immediately amused and handed over a handkerchief in her hand: "Wipe it quickly."

The elder sister took the silk handkerchief. It was the first time she touched such smooth and delicate silk, and she was reluctant to use it to wipe her younger sister.

He picked two leaves and blew her nose first, then wiped it with a handkerchief.

She finished quickly, then pointed to something on the ground and said, "We are planting sweet potatoes. My great-aunt brought them from the south!"

Lin Mingyan never dreamed that the sweet potato that she had been looking for for half a year when she first came here would show up at this time.

She couldn't remember when sweet potatoes were introduced to China, and thought they didn't exist in the Qing Dynasty. She didn't expect that they had not yet reached the capital.

After asking the girl, I found out that her aunt had married to Fujian more than ten years ago.

The mountains are high and the roads are long, so I finally managed to return to Beijing this year and brought back a cartload of sweet potatoes.

The elder sister said longingly: "I heard from my great aunt that her husband's family makes money by growing sweet potatoes, so they can afford to take her back to her parents' home."

"She brought the seeds. This autumn, we'll be able to make a lot of money and buy meat!"
