Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 146: Taking advantage of the situation

In the next three days, martial law was suddenly imposed throughout Kyoto. Officers and soldiers guarding and searching could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, trying to seize and investigate anyone they met.

"Jiang You, go see what's going on."

Jiang You quickly left and returned, leaning close to the carriage curtain and reporting: "Miss, it seems something has been lost in the palace."

Lost something?

What could be lost that would make Feng Qinglan search the whole city with such fanfare?
Forget it, leave her alone.

She spent a lot of effort last night to persuade Jiang Han and find out Jiang Jing's current movements.

No one in Beijing knew that the child that Da Sinong loved most was Jiang Wulang. Due to congenital deficiencies, Jiang Han was born a little weaker than ordinary sons, so he was always raised in a boudoir.

Fortunately, this man's character is still strong. Years of closed life have not made him resentful, but instead he has developed a very patient temperament. It can be seen that Jiang Jing has worked hard on him over the years.

"Go to Sinong Mansion."

"Yes."

This was the first time for Xie Xian to come to the Sinong Mansion. After the carriage stopped, her first reaction when she opened the curtain was that this mansion was completely different from the other ministers' mansions. It was very simple and elegant, and it was completely different. The residence of the Three Lords and important ministers.

Jiang Han had already delivered a message to her home, so she was invited into the main hall as soon as she arrived at the door.

Stepping into the high threshold, Xie Xie's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, the interior of the mansion was even more prosperous, and all the furnishings were made of bamboo.

There are two green bamboo chairs swaying in the courtyard. Under the sunlight, they look very leisurely and comfortable.

"Thank you, Miss Second, please come this way. My master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thank you."

Deep in the courtyard, under a towering old tree large enough for three people to surround one another, Jiang Jing sat alone behind a bamboo table, holding a handful of books and humming something in a low voice. Behind her, there stood a man with a calm expression. A man who looked to be in his thirties was giving him some tea.

Anyone who sees this scene will secretly envy it.

As for the deep love between Da Sinong and his wife, they had already heard about it, but seeing it was worse than hearing it a hundred times. Now that I stand in front of them with my own eyes, I know that all the good things in the world are nothing more than this.

Jiang Jing put down the book and invited her, "You're here? Please sit down."

Jiang Jing stood behind Jiang Jing and said, "I'll prepare some tea cakes for you." After saying that, he left in time.

"Master Si Nong, what is the purpose of my daughter's visit today? Jiang Wulang must have told you in advance, so I'll just get straight to the point." Xie Xie took out the parchment given to her by Feng Jiuling from her arms and slowly unfolded it. .

"This is this?" When Jiang Jing saw such a detailed map of Jiyue, she straightened up and said solemnly, "Where did you get this?"

He declined and said, "This is a gift from His Majesty."

"Your Majesty?" Jiang Jing looked at her secretly with eyes like fire.

Standing in front of her was the second young lady of the Xie family with the most notorious reputation in the entire Kyoto city. Rumors about this person being uneducated and incompetent were extremely absurd! Jiang Jing was once invited by Dugu Jin to visit the General's Mansion in person. However, she did not have any conversation with Xie Xie during this hurried visit.

It was only by chance that she heard Dugu Jin say that this person was somewhat of a wizard in agriculture, which aroused her curiosity.

But after a few days, Jiang Jing calmly thought about it. This woman was so uninhibited and indulged in male sex all day long. How could she have any ideas about farming?
Therefore, she never mentioned it again.

Now that she saw the rejection again, she could not help but think about Dugu Jin's previous recommendation. Jiang Jing couldn't help but make a digression, "I heard the Taifu mention that you are very fond of agriculture. For this reason Are you serious about cultivating fields in your own courtyard?" Xie Jue didn't know why Jiang Jing suddenly mentioned this matter, but her intuition told her that this matter might be a breakthrough to win over Da Sinong.

Immediately, he took the initiative to introduce the harvests of several manors in the northern suburbs.

"So, you invented that Chinese cabbage?" Jiang Jing was shocked.

You know, just a month ago, an unprecedented vegetable suddenly appeared in Beijing, called Chinese cabbage. It has a tender taste and bright color. It originally originated from Yuxianglou, the largest restaurant in Kyoto.

Later, for unknown reasons, they were suddenly sold in the hands of major merchants, causing many restaurants to rob them. Even many ministers in Beijing spent a lot of money on this, just to buy one and a half liang. , have a taste.

Unfortunately, those vendors were as tight-lipped as a golden lock. No matter how Jiang Jing sent people to investigate, they had no idea where the cabbage came from.

After sending people to secretly search for more than half a month, Jiang Jing finally found out that the object came from several manors in the northern suburbs of Kyoto. She also visited many times, but was rejected by the steward of the manor because the master was not at home. .

For this reason, Jiang Jing was so angry that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.

Now that she found out that Xie Xie was the owner of the northern suburbs manor, Jiang Jing was almost so angry that she couldn't even get up her energy, and was so angry that she slapped the table and stood up.

"Boldly refuse! This is simply unreasonable!"

Facing Jiang Jing's rage, she declined with an innocent look on her face, "Sir Nong, please clarify?"

"Since you have such talent, why don't you serve the imperial court? Instead, you speculate and resell, raising the price of Jiyue's vegetables?"

Xie Xie smiled when he heard the words, "Master Si Nong is exaggerating. My daughter doesn't have any great talent in farming, but driven by curiosity, she grew something like this by chance. I didn't know it would cause a stir in the capital." Is it such a turbulent wave?"

"Really?" Jiang Jing asked in a deep voice: "I don't think so. In my opinion, I'm afraid you are unruly by nature and unwilling to be used by the court! Are you pretending to be ignorant on purpose?"

Xie Xie never thought that Jiang Jing could see through her true nature at a glance, but she still had a calm look on her face.

"It's really unjust."

Jiang Jing's face darkened and she asked again: "Let me ask you, is the manor in the western suburbs also a property in your name?"

This time, she didn't even say it was the Xie family's property.

Fortunately, I had foresight.

"My lord, you are unjust!" Xie Xie said aggrievedly: "How can I have such great ability? But let alone that, I did get people to inquire about some things about the western suburbs manor."

Jiang Jing was dubious and frowned, "What?"

Declining to use Xu Boyan as the owner of the manor, he compiled a version of Shen Yiming's miserable life experience, and integrated Xue Hanxiang's ability to manage Zhuangzi into him, perfectly creating an image of a hard-working agricultural genius.

After hearing this, Jiang Jing sighed, "Such a genius, you must recommend it to me if you have the chance. I will do my best to recruit talents for the imperial court!"

Decline laughed awkwardly and said, "Definitely."

Unexpectedly, this great minister was really a minister who cared deeply about the imperial court. Unfortunately, except for farm work, she could not open his mouth at all.

Not to mention, he could find out something about the Fourth Princess from her mouth.
