With that in mind, Jiang Yue began to scatter seeds on the yellow soil. The seeds were much smaller compared to the c.u.min seeds she scattered yesterday.

With so many seeds, each seedling would take up a lot of s.p.a.ce, and the s.p.a.ce between each seedling wouldn’t be that big. Just these three things could be planted for 20 to 30 acres of land.

That night, Jiang entered the large courtyard behind Quanping Inn.

The next morning, when Shao Zhongxi’s men pushed open the door, they saw that the huge front yard of the mansion was filled with seedlings. The seedlings were much bigger than yesterday’s seedlings and looked particularly spectacular. Shao Zhongxi’s men were impressed. Then, they began to carry out the task that Shao Zhongxi had given them. They had to send the seedlings to the Crown Prince’s house.

When Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others saw so many seedlings, they were just as impressed.

After looking through the bags, they realized that there were some seedlings that they knew. They had seen the grape seedlings before. However, these grape seedlings were bigger. It was obvious that they would bear fruit this year. It would not be a loss to plant them. When the time came, they would sell the grapes. Xue Dafu and the others were very happy.

Then, they got busy again. They started to plant the seedlings in the empty wasteland on the mountain with the hired people from before.

These seedlings were big. A small shovel could not be used to plant them. They had to use a shovel to dig a big pit to put the roots of the seedlings into the pit.

Everyone felt that this physical work was too hard for a child to handle, so they did not let Jiang Yue help. They would at most let her help hold the seedlings to make sure they don’t fall. That way, she wouldn’t be bored.

In the evening, when Xue Yan came to the fields, he would help to support his family as well.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were standing on one side, each holding onto different types of grape seedlings.

On the other side, Princess Jin could be seen dressed in a man’s attire. She wore rugged clothes and carried a cloth bag on her back. Her face, neck, and hands were even slightly blackened. She sat on a slow oxcart with a few commoners. The coachman was slowly driving the oxcart into Xinyuan

County.

Princess Jin abandoned her horse and chose to sit in an ox cart to cover up her ident.i.ty. She even dressed up like this in order to deceive others.

The Crown Prince was stationed in Locust Village, which was from Xinyuan County. The Empress was also supposed to be here. Even if Xinyuan County did not seem to be hostile on the surface, there must have been many people stationed around in case anything happened to the Crown Prince and Empress in Locust Village.

There were already people watching her the moment she entered. If she rode into Xinyuan, wouldn’t she be easily noticed?

Therefore, when she was still quite far away from Xinyuan, she left the horse in a secret place, then disguised herself and found an ox cart along the way.

This way, she would not attract any attention at all. She looked extremely ordinary, no different from the villagers here.

It was just that this ox cart was a little slow.

“Alright, we’re here. You can get off here. Five coins per person.” The people on the ox cart were all from Xinyuan County and were all ordinary people. Once the coachman stopped the ox cart at the side, he chuckled and let the people off the ox cart.

This trip was far, and even if it was an ox cart, it would still cost five coins per person.

When they hopped on, they had already agreed on it, so everyone knew what to do after.

Princess Jin also gave the coachman five coins and asked with a smile, “Do you know where the nearest inn is?” It was getting dark, so she had to find a place to stay.

The coachman was warm-hearted. When he heard her question, he quickly pointed ahead. “Go straight along this street, turn left, and walk a few more steps. There’s an inn there..”
