Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Chu Luo's thoughts drifted back to her past life when she was farming.

In that lifetime, she originally wanted to do nothing and find a place to farm and live a simple life.

Originally, he didn't know anything about the five grains, but because he had no distractions, he actually cultivated the land very well.

She was also the only person who managed to grow peach trees during a year of severe drought.

She received a few tattered pages of agricultural manuals from an old man who had been farming for many years.

As a result, she has achieved some success on this path of farming, accumulating many years of experience in finding seeds and cultivating seedlings.

She earned some money by diligently farming.

She is also passionate about helping others and always shares her tips on pest control in farming with others.

She is quite famous in the surrounding villages and towns where she lives.

However, all of this was ultimately destroyed by the ambition of Regent Feng Zhe.

She began to think of ways to eliminate Feng Zhe and rid the people of this scourge, starting from the simple act of farming.

Those few pages of agricultural economics, and the skill of farming that she had mastered in her previous life, she almost succeeded by farming.

Not long after her rebirth, she planted the thread using farming methods.

Chu Luo always knew that she was weak, lacking both martial arts skills and a powerful background, and that fighting against the Regent was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Therefore, she could only extend the battle and learn from past successes and failures.

Accumulate various skills and opportunities, lay enough groundwork, and one day take Feng Zhe's life.

Just as autumn was approaching, she disguised herself and went to the eastern suburbs of Jiangzhou, where there were many fertile fields.

Many crops are gradually reaching harvest time, and the same is true for the royal vegetable garden, the Jifu Vegetable Garden, in this area.

An elderly farmer who was harvesting fruit was unusually excited when he saw Chu Luo in disguise.

He hurriedly ran to the basket to get something, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran over barefoot.

When he reached Chu Luo, he wiped the fruit on his clothes and handed it to her.

The old farmer, his face tanned to a bronze color, spoke with a simple, honest smile: "Mr. Jing, it's been a long time! Come and try some of the freshly picked fruit."

"Uncle, long time no see! The harvest is good this year!"

Chu Luo looked at his basket full of fruit and said.

The old man smiled happily, "We owe you so much back then. If you hadn't taught us those methods, we wouldn't have been able to grow such good grains and fruits."

Chu Luo took it and immediately took a big bite. "Let me try it. This looks really good."

"Are we meeting everyone at the well again this time? We built a pavilion there specifically to wait for you."

The old man wiped his sweat as he explained things to her.

Chu Luo had come to take care of something this time, so instead of agreeing directly, she asked, "Uncle Shi, how are you? Can you help everyone solve their problems?"

"He's doing well. He's a skilled farmer and can even read. We're all relieved after you taught him. We just all want to meet you."

The old man spoke sincerely and simply, and Chu Luo couldn't bear to refuse.

"I'll go to Uncle Shi's house first, and then we'll go to the well together. I brought you some seeds again this time."

"Okay, you take a look first, I'll go tell everyone."

After saying that, the old man excitedly called his son to inform everyone that Mr. Jing, whom they had been waiting for, had arrived.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Chu Luo headed straight for Uncle Shi's house.

Chu Luo pulled the carriage to Uncle Shi's small courtyard, where many fruit trees were planted.

There are both seasonal and non-seasonal trees, with the most common being various varieties of peach trees.

Chu Luo stared at the out-of-season fruit trees for a long time.

"Uncle Shi, Xiao Jing is here."

Chu Luo called to him from the courtyard, but no one answered.

She didn't stand on ceremony; she reached out and picked a melon from the trellis in the yard, carried it to the well in the yard, drew some cool well water to wash it, and then cut it open.

She sat on a bamboo stool under the melon trellis, eating and waiting.

The melon was as delicious as ever, and she ate half of it in no time.

"Little Jing, you've arrived. I didn't believe it when Old Bai told me about it in the village."

Uncle Shi's voice was booming, indicating he was very healthy, and he was carrying some large, purple grapes for her to eat.

Uncle Shi is really busy.

Chu Luo familiarly accepted the grapes and greeted Uncle Shi.

"It wasn't busy in previous years, but recently the vegetable garden in the capital region that supplies vegetables and fruits to the palace has run into some trouble. They say the higher-ups are complaining about the lack of fresh and tender vegetables, so someone there asked me to help with seedling cultivation, which is why I've been busier."

Uncle Shi's words hit Chu Luo right where it hurts.

She had always known that Uncle Shi had dealings with the people in the Royal Vegetable Garden.

She put in a lot of effort to make this happen discreetly.

"People there consulted you in previous years, but they still didn't understand. They've learned a lot from you."

"Yes, that's not all. Some people even came to me to become my apprentices in order to get into the Royal Vegetable Garden. There was one fruit grower who only got in because he and I figured out how to grow winter peaches. It's just a pity that once he got in, he didn't recognize this old man anymore."

Uncle Shi seemed to be joking, but he also felt a little regretful and sentimental.

Chu Luo, however, thought it was just right. She wanted someone with such a heartless nature; only someone like that would be truly innocent if they were implicated.

Chu Luo reassured her, "It's alright. Most of us farmers are simple and honest; people like this are rare."

Uncle Shi laughed heartily, "Now he's too embarrassed to come himself, so he sends his colleagues to learn from him, which keeps me incredibly busy."

Judging from his expression, Chu Luo probably didn't mind too much.

Chu Luo smiled and suggested, "You have to charge them tuition; you can't let their hard work go unrewarded."

"Okay, I've got it. I remembered what you said last time."

He always took Mr. Jing's words to heart.

"Uncle Shi, I've come to tell you that I've discovered something new. Not only can it make winter peaches ripen earlier, but I've also found two special cherry trees. With a few more days of cultivation, the fruit will ripen, and the fruit will have a beautiful color and an excellent taste."

"Winter peaches ripen early, that's great!"

Seeing the old man's happy and contented expression, Chu Luo thought that if it weren't for Feng Zhe, being an ordinary farmer would be really nice.

"But how can there still be cherries this season? Xiaojing, you're amazing!"

Uncle Shi was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but look towards the carriage outside Chu Luo's courtyard.

Chu Luo got up and took out two cherry trees planted in pots from the carriage outside the courtyard.

The fruit was already quite large, although it was still green.

Seeing how much Uncle Shi loved it, Chu Luo took out a packet of out-of-season cherry seeds from her bosom and gave them to him.

After all, Uncle couldn't keep these two out-of-season cherry blossom pots; she had to send them away through someone else.

How could that ungrateful person they just mentioned be willing to let go of such a treasure who could please those in power?

She glanced at the person furtively watching them from the corner of the courtyard; who else could it be but that person?

Chu Luo smiled without saying a word. The bait had been cast, and they were just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Chu Luo told Uncle Shi about her method to make the winter peaches ripen early, and asked Uncle Shi to tell everyone. Of course, she was also saying this on purpose so that those who were interested would hear it.

After finishing this task, Chu Luo and Uncle Shi went to the well.

Many people had already come to the well, and they all brought her plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

The quality and freshness of those fruits are extremely rare to find in the market.

Even the tributes from the palace might not be as good. If she takes them all, I'm afraid even two carriages wouldn't be able to carry them all.

They are all genuine farmers, relying on the weather, the land, and their own strength to make a living.

They are simple and honest, and don't often dwell on hardship or fatigue. Even when bullied, they always say that suffering is a blessing, but they always remember the smallest kindness clearly, like right now.

Because of their deep sense of gratitude, the name of Mr. Jing was known to young and old alike in the eastern suburbs of Jiangzhou.

Chu Luo handed over the excellent seeds that Zhongfangtang had found to everyone, and carefully taught them how to plant them.

Chu Luo reiterated that she had told Uncle Shi how to ripen winter peaches, and that anyone who wanted to ripen their peaches should go to Uncle Shi.

She even mentioned that there were two cherry trees, fearing that she hadn't used enough bait earlier.

Chu Luo saw the person who had taken the bait under a tree not far away and knew that she had achieved her goal.

She politely declined everyone's invitation to stay for dinner, and symbolically took a few things, put them on the carriage, and left.

The plan would take some time to take effect, and she calculated the time after returning home.

This was the first time she had taken action in this life; she was patient but also somewhat worried.

Fortunately, the scientific expedition proceeded smoothly, which brought her some relief.

The current problem is the grading and release of the examination results. The grading and release process takes too long, which could lead to unforeseen problems. By the time the Regent recovers from his injury, there could be serious trouble.

The emperor was merely a figurehead examiner; the real test was whether the fifth prince could actually accomplish anything during this period.

"A-Luo, you're always thinking about other people's imperial examinations. Can't you think about yourself? You're getting married in just a few days!"

"When am I getting married?" Chu Luo asked Lu Yifu.
