Seeing that most of their resistance had subsided, Qian Shen continued.

"Not many people can catch Mr. Xianshi's eye. The children of the Chen family are all his direct disciples."

"You mean that little kid just now? She's actually a direct descendant?"

Meng San was a little dissatisfied because the child was so young.

Qian Shen glanced at her and somewhat disapproved of her behavior.

Miss Meng Er pulled her, and she finally reacted and stopped talking.

"To be honest, I came here to study for Mr. Xianshi. Secondly, the prince wants you to temper your character and see the sufferings of the world. Thirdly, the children of the Chen family are not like ordinary people. Take the youngest, the third daughter, for example. She has a hand in many important events in Ruyi County."

Several people were shocked and skeptical.

Qian Shen didn't care, he would know later: "You guys study hard here, do what everyone else does, and don't lose your temper. Of course, no one will pay attention to you even if you do. The old man has a bad temper. Not only you, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others have also gone through the same thing."

After taking a look at them, his eyes fixed on Meng Yuanjin.

"Mr. Qian, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Third Miss, I have to remind you again: don't be impulsive or reckless, otherwise it won't be as easy as this time. You should also listen to my advice and curb your arrogance."

Although Meng Yuanjin was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it and just said yes obediently.

Qian Shen didn't care whether she really listened to him or not. She would have her own ups and downs in the future anyway.

Arriving at the school, Qian Shen turned around and left, and then he instructed: "Get along well with the children of the Chen family, they are all good people."

The few of them reluctantly settled in the village, going to and from school with the children every day and working in the fields.

Although they felt extremely wronged, they dared not speak out. After all, even Prince Fu felt the same way, and he never complained. How could they dare?

Wang Fu first took over Yu Wu's class and taught the children in the village.

In mid-February, Xu Minglang brought about ten cars and a hundred people into the village.

This was quite a scene, but fortunately the villagers all knew him and came to help push the cart and find lemons.

The convoy stopped in front of Chen's house. Qing Ning and her husband said goodbye and hurried back.

Before I even got home, I was suddenly hugged into a sweet and soft embrace.

"My little Qing Ning hasn't seen me for months, why is she still so thin?"

Qing Ning calmed herself down and looked at the person she was hugging.

Then he grinned, hugged the person and kissed him, "Beautiful aunt, you are here!"

"Oh, this child is so adorable. Auntie has brought you some goodies. Come with me to see them."

As he said this, he held Qingning and was about to get on the carriage.

"Aunt Wu, please wait a moment. I'll show Qing Ning the things I brought later. I have something important to do here."

Xu Minglang quickly ran over and stopped the two from getting on the carriage. If they got on, they would have to wait.

Ming Miaoren rolled his eyes at him in dissatisfaction, "Your business is the real business, but mine is not."

"No, no, this is the seed that Qing Ning has been longing for. I want to show it to her! This kid wants to send her Feiteng three times a day."

When Qing Ning heard the seeds, his eyes lit up.

He turned around and said soothingly, "Pretty Aunt, I'll have someone take you to rest first. You've been very tired all the way. Besides, I have something good for Pretty Aunt. I'll show it to you after dinner."

Ming Miaoren smiled and said, "Okay, this child is so lovable, you guys go and get busy."

As he said that, he handed the lemon to Xu Minglang. Xu Minglang picked up the lemon and walked forward, fearing that someone would snatch it away again.

Old Mrs. Chen rushed back with her family, and was a little nervous when she saw so many people.

Xu Minglang greeted Old Lady Chen and the others, asked someone to unload the gifts and move them in, and instructed the steward to make arrangements for the people accompanying them.

Old Mrs. Chen hurriedly took people to the kitchen to boil water. It was so far away and the weather was cold, so they had to drink some ginger tea.

Seeing that the Chen family was too busy, Ming Miaoren asked her maid to go and help. After unloading everything, she asked everyone else to return to the villa.

Xu Minglang came to several loaded trucks holding Qing Ning.

"Qingning, look, this cart is full of sugarcane."

Qing Ning motioned for him to put her down and ran forward to check.

The green-skinned sugarcanes were all smooth and plump, with their roots still attached. The truck was loaded with more than a hundred pieces.

"Uncle Xu, you're amazing. This car must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Xu Minglang was very pleased. "I don't care about the price. I will definitely benefit from it in the future."

"Uncle Xu, do you have so much confidence in me?"

"That is, whatever you do is fine."

Qing Ning chuckled, but felt pressured in her heart.

"Oh, yeah, and look what this is?"

Xu Minglang took out a cloth bag from his carriage.

Qing Ning looked at his mysterious expression, stared at the bag nervously, and asked cautiously, "Are these cotton seeds?"

"Oh, how did you guess it right?"

Seeing her little look, Xu Minglang couldn't bear to tease her.

"It's cotton seeds. Since you mentioned it once before, I sent people to the Western Regions. I never thought you would write to me later and ask me to find cotton seeds. You actually acted like a prophet."

Qing Ning looked at him, admiring him. This was the keen sense of a businessman, someone who, after hearing something casually, wanted to solve the problem at its source.

"Uncle Xu, you are so awesome." Qing Ning admired him sincerely.

I looked at other crops and found that they had brought a few fruit tree seedlings and many crops that are rarely seen here.

Qing Ning was really happy and had all these moved into the warehouse. A row of warehouses were built along the northwest corner, connected to the backyard of the main house. They were large and spacious.

When it was originally built, my family said it was a bit of a waste, but now it is no longer useful.

When Mr. Yu and others heard that Xu Minglang had come, they must have gained something, so they all ran back.

As soon as he entered the gate, he went straight to the warehouse. When he finally saw the legendary cotton seeds, he was so happy that he was overwhelmed.

He kept repeating, "God bless my Daxia, God bless my Daxia."

"You have really done something great for the country and the people this time."

Xu Minglang said frankly that he was not worthy of it.

"I'm also from Daxia, so naturally I should contribute. I have the seeds, and I've asked people to inquire with the locals about the planting process and record it."

He took out a notebook from his pocket.

"Take a look and see if it's available."

Qing Ning put down what she was holding and looked at it carefully with Grandpa Yu. She asked Grandpa Yu to read out the parts she didn't understand.

"How about it?"

After Grandpa Yu finished reading, he looked at Qing Ning.

Qing Ning thought about it and decided that although the planting method was slightly different from the current one, it was basically good.

Then he nodded, and Mr. Yu felt relieved.

Suddenly, he turned to Prince Fu and said, "Your Highness, why don't you quickly write to His Majesty and reward the Xu family? You have truly found a blessed land, full of treasures."

As he spoke, he looked at Qing Ning with more loving and joyful eyes, "What a treasure."

Prince Fu was also happy. Although he had heard about things like cotton, and now they actually found them, it was all about his fiefdom, so he was very happy.

Looking at Xu Minglang, his face was full of admiration. The head of the Xu family was a good person.

He immediately ordered someone to prepare paper and pen, as he wanted to report to the emperor.
