I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Zhang Maoze stroked his beard, his eyes flickering, as if he was weighing the truth of Lin Qinshuang's words.

"Don't worry, Madam Lin,"

His tone was calm and soothing.

"We will definitely convey your request to His Majesty."

He paused slightly, his eyes falling on Lin Qinshuang's face.

"I wonder when the lady can deliver this elixir to our family?"

Lin Qinshuang is respectful and submissive.

"I thank you, sir."

She apologized a little.

"It's just that the elixir is expensive, so I don't have it with me."

She raised her eyes, her eyes earnest,

"I will send someone to take it to the father-in-law's place after I return home tomorrow, okay?"

Zhang Maoze nodded,

"Alright."

His expression was stern and his tone was serious.

"There is one more thing I need to ask my lady."

He lowered his voice,

"I hope you will keep the matter of the official requesting the elixir a secret."

Lin Qinshuang's expression also became serious.

"This is a serious matter, don't worry, sir."

Her tone was firm,

"I will keep my mouth shut."

Lin Qinshuang asked tentatively,

"I wonder how many days you will stay in Yangzhou this time?"

Zhang Maoze pondered for a moment,

"After we get the elixir, we will rush back to the capital to report."

He asked back,

"I wonder if Madam Lin has anything else to say?"

Lin Qinshuang's eyes flashed,

"The potatoes you saw today are just one type grown on the farm."

There was a hint of mystery in her tone.

"There's another kind called sweet potato, which is similar to potatoes."

She pointed to another village in the distance,

"It's also being planted on that farm. The harvest will be ready in the next two days."

She suggested,

"Before you return to the capital, you might as well take some back with you and present it to His Majesty."

A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Maoze's eyes, and he clapped his hands in praise.

"Mrs. Lin is very thoughtful."

He smiled warmly,

"That's great. We'll wait until the sweet potatoes are harvested before leaving."

There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

"This kind of thing benefits the country and the people, and the emperor will surely be very pleased."

Lin Qinshuang bowed again and took her leave, her figure disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Sheng Hong immediately dismissed his attendants and quickly walked over to Lin Qinshuang, looking her up and down with concern.

"Eunuch Zhang wants to leave you alone, but what's the matter?"

There was a hint of worry in his tone.

"Did it embarrass you?"

Lin Qinshuang shook her head gently and leaned softly into Sheng Hong's arms.

"Honglang, I'm fine."

She spoke softly.

"My father-in-law just asked about the Lin family's family background."

She looked troubled.

"It's just that it was so long ago that I can't remember it clearly."

She looked up, her eyes moving.

"Honglang cares about me so much, I am deeply touched."

Her eyes were slightly red, and there seemed to be tears in them.

Sheng Hong held Lin Qinshuang in his arms and gently stroked her back.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

His tone was gentle.

"If you encounter something similar again in the future, please tell me immediately."

The next morning, a thin mist covered the fields and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.

Sheng Hong, Zhang Maoze and his group, led by Lin Qinshuang, went to the farm where sweet potatoes were grown.

The carriage was driving on the country road, and the wheels rolled over the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.

Zhang Maze lifted the car curtain and looked at the pastoral scenery outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

It is difficult for officials to have children, and now that such a panacea has been found, it can be considered as God's blessing to the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire Lin Qinshuang even more.

It is rare that this seemingly weak woman possesses such extraordinary abilities.

After arriving at the village, the village head had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Sheng Hong and Zhang Maozhe, he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

Lin Qinshuang ordered the head of the village to present the freshly harvested sweet potatoes.

I saw plump sweet potatoes, which were washed and placed in bamboo baskets, emitting the fragrance of soil.

Zhang Maoze looked at the sweet potatoes carefully and was secretly amazed.

These sweet potatoes come in various shapes and are brighter in color than potatoes, making them look very tempting.

He picked up a sweet potato, which felt heavy and solid.

"What's the yield of these sweet potatoes?"

He asked the village head.

The village head replied respectfully,

"To answer my father-in-law, the yield of sweet potatoes is very high. One acre of land can produce 3,000 kilograms."

He added,

“It is also drought-resistant and barren-resistant and easy to grow.”

After hearing this, Zhang Maoze felt even more delighted.

This sweet potato not only has a high yield but is also easy to grow. If it is promoted, it will definitely benefit the people.

He looked at Lin Qinshuang, his eyes full of admiration.

"Mrs. Lin, you have done so much good."

Lin Qinshuang smiled modestly.

"Your Excellency is greatly honored. I am only doing my humble part."

She was secretly pleased with herself.

These sweet potatoes and potatoes are high-yield crops she brought from modern society.

Now I can take this opportunity to present it to the government, which can be considered as gaining some credit for myself.

She believed that with these two treasures, the government would look at her differently.

And she can also take this opportunity to achieve her goals step by step.

Zhang Maoze ordered people to load the sweet potatoes onto a truck and prepare to take them back to the capital.

Before leaving, he expressed his gratitude to Lin Qinshuang again.

"Mrs. Lin, we are so grateful to you for this."

Lin Qinshuang is blessed with a healthy body.

"You are too polite, sir. It is my honor to serve you."

She watched Zhang Maozhe and his group leave, her heart full of anticipation.

After seeing Zhang Maoze and his group off, Sheng Hong breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the armchair as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Lin Qinshuang stepped forward gracefully, bowed gracefully, and opened her red lips slightly:

"Congratulations, my lord. Your career is promising."

Her voice was soft, like a spring breeze brushing past my ears.

Sheng Hong quickly stood up and helped Lin Qinshuang up, his excitement evident in his words:

"It's all thanks to Shuang'er!"

He held Lin Qinshuang's hand tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly.

“How could I be where I am today without you?”

He stared at Lin Qinshuang, his eyes full of gratitude and doting.

Thinking of the cartload of potatoes and sweet potatoes that Zhang Maoze took away, Sheng Hong felt extremely excited, as if a fire was burning in his chest.

He couldn't help but hold Lin Qinshuang in his arms tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own bones and blood.

"Shuang'er,"

His voice was hoarse and his eyes were filled with tears.

"There has never been a time when I wish you were my wife more than right now."

He choked,

"After all these years of hard work, I finally have new hopes."

He buried his head in Lin Qinshuang's neck, greedily breathing in the faint fragrance from her body.

Lin Qinshuang gently patted Sheng Hong's back and comforted him softly:

"Honglang,"

Her tone was gentle, like a trickle of water.

"I've seen how hard you've worked and how careful you've been over the years."

"I feel sorry for you."

She paused, her tone more resolute.

"I'd do anything for you."

These simple words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Sheng Hong's heart hard.

He felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his heart was filled with emotion and happiness.

He never thought that this weak woman could understand and support him so much.

He hugged Lin Qinshuang tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his life.
