Holding back her curiosity, Pei Xiu didn't ask until she got home, ''Who is Qiu Baize, can you tell me what letter he sent? ''

''Well, you know that I was in the army before, Qiu Baize was my former colleague, and we fought side by side. You planted those high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes earlier this year. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. I found a relationship and reported it to the Prince of Liaodong. '' Zhou Cheng thought about what to say, and didn't know if she would be angry that he concealed what she reported.

'' Qiu Baize doesn't look like an ordinary soldier. You still call him Master Qiu. If you call him brother or brother, did you have an official position before? '' Pei Xiu said suspiciously, she has a lot of problems, and she needs to straighten up slowly one by one.

Zhou Cheng pursed his lips tightly, a little reluctant to advance the past, ''Yes. ''

''We are husband and wife, and we have to bear everything together. I don't want to be ignorant of everything about my husband. I have been with you for so many years, and now I have questions, but you still haven't told me, I can't believe it. me? '' Pei Xiu frowned at his uncooperative appearance, a little angry.

''No, I think that's all in the past, now I'm just a simple farmer. '' Zhou Cheng said soothingly.

''Then I want to know about your past, I want to know about your past. Why did you come back from the army? You are not injured or disabled, how could the army let people go? '' This is the doubt of many people in the village, but no one dares to ask.

Zhou Cheng sighed in his heart and said: "I used to worship the general flag of Shengzhou, which was brought up by the prince. During a battle, the secret military information was leaked by the people around him. Fortunately, the prince managed to turn the tide and it didn't cause a big disaster. The person who leaked the secret committed suicide. , I can't excuse the blame. The King of Liaodong liked the third son, and the third son made a report on the military situation. I can't blame him. It was the prince who pleaded for mercy and assured me that I didn't know, and that I saved my life by offsetting it with military merit. ''

''Is it so dangerous? Can't find out who ordered the leaker? '' Only then did Pei Xiu understand why he was able to return home unscathed.

''It was not found out at the time, but it was found out later, but there was no evidence. The prince asked me to stay and wait for the dispatch, and wait for news by the way. The prince is kind to me, and I can no longer implicate the prince. After rejecting it, I return home alone. The prince gave me a hand letter and asked me to hand it over to the magistrate of this county and let him take care of me. ''

''It's no wonder that the county magistrate called you brother Wednesday politely when he saw you. So have you kept in touch with Shizi in recent years? '' Pei Xiu finally solved a doubt, and has always been curious about why the magistrate's son treated Zhou Cheng with courtesy.

''The prince had someone send me a few letters, asking me to go back and continue to serve him. However, the third son is gaining momentum, so I refuse to be a drag on the son. This time, because of the high-yield crops, I thought that this would be a courtesy to the prince, and I found an opportunity to report it. The prince attaches great importance to this matter, and specially sent Qiu Baize over to find out. He is the confidant of the prince and a person who is absolutely credible. This matter must be kept secret now. You should go back in the afternoon and explain to your brother and sister-in-law. It must be kept secret before you harvest it, and what to do after that will have to be arranged. By the way, send a game to your brother and sister-in-law. '' Zhou Cheng said more and more solemnly. He knew the importance of high-yield crops, and he knew that the prince would definitely like it, but he didn't expect the prince to take it so seriously.

Then this is also the key to his ability to go back. No man does not want to make a fortune. He refuses because he is afraid of hurting others. Now that he has this opportunity, he has to seize it.

Pei Xiu also understands that men are ambitious, and no one wants to live a mediocre life. Since the prince attaches so much importance to high-yield crops, its confidentiality must be done well and cannot be leaked. I didn't specifically say it, and generally no one would know.

''Then you will go over and explain to your eldest brother's family, and the second brother's family, so that they can't tell anyone. If we knew we had seeds, we should not divide them up first, and keep them at home and plant them first. '' Pei Xiu was annoyed.

''I didn't think too much about it at the time, I only knew that it was a good thing, and the report was also meritorious, and the seeds could be sold for profit. Now I don't know what the prince planned. '' Zhou Cheng couldn't have known earlier, not to mention that his mother was there at the time, so he always had to give an explanation.

''Then Qiu Baize came yesterday, why didn't he take it to the back hillside to have a look? ''

'' It was still bright and a little dazzling. I took him to the backyard to have a look, and explained how to plant it. After it was dark, I took him to the back hillside. Those corn seeds had sprouted, and the seedlings were It popped up, and some of them were slapped high. I didn’t expect that I had only been away for a few days, and the ones that were just planted later all sprouted. This survival rate is quite high. It’s just that I haven’t planted it before, so I don’t know what it will look like and how much it will yield? ’’ Zhou Cheng is a bit unfortunate, he had to try a little last year.

''You won't know until the seeds come out. Let's wait for a few more months to see. Now, let's write down the growth situation. Even now, there is no one in the whole family who can write decently, and it is not convenient to record. My big words don't dare to waste paper. Only in mind. '' Pei Xiu felt worried when she thought about it. Anyway, she also graduated from 211, but she was stumped by the calligraphy.

What did I think of again~ looked at Zhou Cheng with bright eyes and said: ''When we plant high-yield crops, will you be able to resume your job? ''

Zhou Cheng shook his head and said: ''It's hard to say, it's been ten years, this official position has been held long ago, I dare not say that the official's reinstatement, the real seed has come out, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is hoped that there will be no one in power in the world. Hungry desire, the court will definitely reward. It is also a big bargaining chip for the King of Liaodong to compete for the throne, which is why the prince attaches so much importance to it, but he did not dare to publicize it before he succeeded. ''

Zhou Cheng is also full of expectations for this matter, who doesn't want his wife and children to be prosperous. Thinking that in the past few years, his daughter-in-law had been frugal, and the clothes had been mended again and again, and he was reluctant to eat a mouthful of meat. I also know that my daughter-in-law is afraid of poverty, for fear that the family will not be able to pay in case of an emergency, but fortunately, she has turned around after being ill.

Pei Xiu also thought that in this ancient times when imperial power was supreme, only power could protect herself and her family. In the past, I didn’t have the conditions, and I didn’t dare to have ideas. Now that I have hope, I have to seize it. Xiao Fu Ji An is only for people who have no way to think about it. Otherwise, why are there so many people thinking about cultivating their descendants to go to the imperial examinations?

Their point of view on this matter has always been that for the sake of the family's prosperous life, and in order to repay the prince's life-saving grace, they should also do well in this matter.
