Ye Nanyue finished explaining everything to the village head and then left.

After leaving the yamen, Ye Nanyue made an agreement with the village head that, except for taxes, the goods could be sold to the government.

The 5% she keeps for herself remains unchanged, and the leftovers will still be sold to her at the price of coarse grains.

Every household must sign a deed so that they can receive seeds for free.

The village head naturally agreed and decided to open the ancestral hall and hold a meeting that night after returning.

Thinking about how Ye Nanyue was talking to the county magistrate calmly, the village head still found it incredible.

Before Ye Nanyue got married, she was known in the village as lazy.

Not only does he never work in the fields, he is also said to do no housework at all.

He doesn't have a good reputation in the village.

I didn’t expect... that she was such a smart and courageous woman!

Even water conservancy projects can be thought of.

I wanted to ask Ye Nanyue about the water conservancy project, but now I don’t dare to ask more.

The village head knew that this little girl from the Ye family would never be an ordinary person in the future!

After the two of them left, Lu Zhenghao walked towards the inner house with unsteady steps.

An was waiting in the yard.

Before leaving, Ye Nanyue left medicine for her and the child.

The usage and dosage, when to take it, and any contraindications are all clearly stated.

After taking the medicine, the child was playing in the yard and basking in the sun. He looked much more energetic than in the previous few days.

As soon as Lu Zhenghao arrived, he was hit by a tiger-head sandbag thrown by a child.

But he was not angry at all. Instead, he raised his head and laughed out loud, picking up the child, looking in a very good mood.

An came out to greet him. Seeing her husband like this, she was a little surprised: "Husband, is this a good news?"

Her tone was firm, but she felt strange in her heart.

Why is my husband so happy?

Lawrence Lu strode in, put the child down, grabbed An's hand, and said excitedly: "Madam, you are really a lucky star for your husband. The female doctor you found has helped me a lot!"

Seeing how intimate and close their relationship was with their master, the maids and servants lowered their heads in embarrassment and dared not look.

An’s face also flushed, and she spat at Lu Zhenghao lightly: “Be more steady, what’s the matter?”

Lu Zhenghao is an extremely steady person, and An rarely sees him so happy.

Lu Zhenghao took her into the house and told her what had just happened.

An's family also came from a prominent background. After hearing what Lu Zhenghao said, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Really?"

"Can this be false?"

Lu Zhenghao's tone became more serious: "This Madam Ye is not an ordinary person. Madam, you must make friends with her carefully in the future."

"My husband's future depends entirely on her!"

"I really don't know who her husband is. He actually has a wife like this!"

An snorted softly, "Why? My wife is so good, but yours is not?"

Lawrence Lu was in a very good mood. He laughed and grabbed An’s hand, saying with a smile, “Of course not. Madam, you are also good. You are naturally better than anyone else.”

"If it weren't for you, how could I have achieved such political achievements?"

If the wife and children had not been sick, they would not have been able to see anyone and would have missed such a big event!

Lu Zhenghao thought for a moment and said, "You should spend more time with Madam Ye. She and her husband... I'm afraid they are not ordinary people."

Recently, news came from the palace that the lady was busy taking care of the children, but Lawrence Lu knew it very well.

It is said that the seventh prince might be near Kyoto.

But this matter is extremely secret...

The rumor only came out after the potato incident.

The seventh prince's biological mother was unwell in the palace, and the emperor took pity to invite the imperial physician.

At that time, the fifth prince went out of the palace and brought back potato seeds.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Industry got busy.

Then, the fifth prince begged for mercy on behalf of the seventh prince's biological mother...

Adding those rumors to the mix, the more Lu Zhenghao thought about it, the more frightened he became...

If so, if the Seventh Prince is so righteous, once the events of the past are thoroughly investigated, this Seventh Prince... will have a bright future!

But Lu Zhenghao didn't dare to say these words to An.

She didn't know that being on good terms with Madam Ye wouldn't seem deliberate.

Even if something goes wrong, it's no big deal...

After Ye Nanyue and the village head left the county government office, they went shopping and bought a lot of things.

There will be income from selling potatoes soon, which should be a considerable profit. She doesn't feel sorry at all when buying things.

The village head knew that she had made a contribution. Seeing how warmly the county magistrate and his wife treated her, and knowing that Yejia Village would benefit from it in the future, the old man accompanied her on a tour.

Let the ox cart follow right behind without any impatience.

Ye Nanyue bought some food and daily necessities for the Ye family, and also bought a few pieces of coarse cloth.

She knew that if she bought fine cotton cloth, Mrs. Hu would definitely not be willing to let her father and others wear it in the fields.

She also bought three pieces of fine cotton cloth for the women in the house to wear underneath.

Then, he went to the clothing shop and bought three sets of clothes for Ye Jingming.

Ye Jingming is about to go to Beijing to become an apprentice, so he can't dress too poorly.

Then, he went to the grocery store and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, as well as a lot of rice and flour.

At most, I went to the pastry shop to buy some candy and cakes.

The village head was amazed when he saw her buying things like this.

He decided to take back what he had said. This little girl was fine in everything else, but she was even worse at spending money than before.

It was not until Ye Nanyue handed a box of exquisite lotus root powder cake to the head of the village that the old man smiled.

Ye Nanyue asked a bullock cart to take her things to the county school. After giving the clothes to Ye Jingming, she returned to Yejia Village.

Because I was dragging a lot of things on the way back, I walked slower.

Ye Nanyue asked the village head about the land sale and asked him to keep an eye on it.

The village head thought for a moment and said, "There really is someone selling land. There's a family at the head of the village who isn't from our Ye family ancestral hall, but has always lived here with us."

"I heard that my son found a job in the county and the whole family is moving there, so he wants to sell his land. It should be about 15 acres."

Ye Nanyue thought about it and felt that fifteen acres was enough for Aunt Guihua's family.

She said, "Then please ask the village head to keep an eye on it for me and find out the price."

"It's just a small matter. I'll help you find out tomorrow morning."

Tonight, we have to go back to the ancestral hall and hold a meeting!

After the two returned to Yejia Village, the ox cart drove directly to the door of Ye Nanyue's mother's house.

Everyone in the village now knows about the potatoes, and they are even happier to see Ye Nanyue and the head of the village dragging back so many things.

It seems that this potato thing is settled!

Ye Nanyue got off the ox cart. The driver helped to move things, and people from the Ye family also came out to help.

The village head hurried back to tell everyone the good news and discuss the evening meeting with the elders.

When the people of the Ye family saw Ye Nanyue moving back so many things, although they were already used to it, they still couldn't help but be surprised.

Mrs. Hu was distressed: "Why did you buy so much again? This is not how silver is made. Silly girl, you have silver now, you should keep it to buy land!"
