Chapter 158 Wilderness
The maids, servants and guards standing by all lowered their heads. They thought the Second Young Master was a little funny, but they held back and could not laugh.
Men are thick-skinned. This is true. Mu Xuan looked around and recovered after a second of embarrassment. What's the big deal? Isn't it just making a fuss? These guys don't know the value of this book. If they knew, they would be more exaggerated than him.
cut!
Moreover, taking this opportunity, Mu Xuan came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, can you let me take a look at this book? I promise that I will keep everything I read to myself."
Yun Xi: "...What are you talking about? It's as if my book is so shameful."
Mu Xuan waved his hand: "No, no, it's just too precious. The book belongs to my sister-in-law, and everything the book represents naturally belongs to my sister-in-law. I mean, I will definitely not reveal it to others."
Yun Xi handed him the book and said, "See, your elder brother has memorized it."
Mu Xuan: “…”
He took the book and thanked Yun Xi solemnly.
The group set off in a mighty procession. The team was even larger than Yun Xi had imagined. There were a total of six carriages, loaded with bed sheets, spare clothes, pots and pans, stoves, and various food ingredients. One of the carriages even had several jars of water.
This is probably equivalent to traveling by RV in ancient times. There are no RVs, but there are a lot of cars.
After leaving the city, Yun Xi put on veil hats on herself and her child, opened the curtain of the car and looked out.
Mu Jinyan grinned and let Yun Xi do it, and asked her: "Why do you want to wear this?"
“Prevent eating dirt.”
Mu Xuan's carriage was the first, followed closely by their carriages, and behind them were the maids and baggage. Mu Sheng was still riding a horse beside them, looking very comfortable.
Seeing the two men sticking their heads out of the car window, he smiled and asked, "Are you bored?"
Mu Jinyan shook her head, with a smile on her face: "No."
He held a big glass bead in his little hand and placed it in front of his eyes, looking at the outside world through the glass bead. Everything became very interesting. Some things became bigger and blurrier, and some were upside down. It was different from the real world, and what he saw was completely different when he looked at the glass ball close up or far away.
Mu Jinyan looked at the real world and then at the world inside the glass ball and had a lot of fun.
Yun Xi also smiled and said, "I'm not bored at all, I just want to get some fresh air and see what's going on outside. I haven't been out for a long time."
Mu Sheng: "If you like, you can come out and shop often. There are several famous shops in the capital that sell jewelry and fabrics, as well as teahouses where you can drink tea and listen to books. Many people like that."
“Wouldn’t that mean there would be a lot of people?”
"Anyway, there aren't as many people as in your shop."
Yun Xi smiled and said, "My shop has the best business in the whole capital right now."
She leaned lazily against the wall of the carriage, looking at the scenery outside.
Mid-Autumn Festival is also the harvest season. After harvesting wheat in early summer, people here will plant another crop of millet. The yield per mu is only between 100 and 150 kilograms, 150 kilograms in the upper field and 100 kilograms in the lower field.
At this moment, it is the season when millet is ripe, and farmers in the suburbs are busy harvesting.
Yun Xi suddenly remembered that the millet her father planted on his farm was also the seed she provided. She had sent it over when she went to deliver corn seeds. She begged Yun Zhen to plant hers this year, and Yun Zhen agreed without much hesitation. He was indeed a good father who doted on his daughter.
Later she forgot about it.
"Kaiyuan Kaiyuan, have you harvested the millet that my father planted?"
"Let me check."
Just two seconds later, he said, "Take it. Your father is doubting his life."
"What's the matter? Did the planting fail?"
"How is that possible? It's too successful. One acre of top fields yields nearly 500 kilograms, and one acre of medium-sized fields yields more than kilograms."
The system switched to the tone of Mr. Zhao from the Animal World and continued, "He looked at the piles of millet and fell into deep thought. What kind of magical seeds did my daughter give me? The harvest was three or four times that of previous years. Such a blessing has come to our family. How should I deal with it? We have already handed over corn and rice. Do we have to hand over millet now? How will the emperor look at us? Why didn't such a good thing come to the royal family, but fell to the Yun family?"
Yun Xi: "...You read my father's mind?"
"No, I guessed."
"Find yourself something to do and stop being so bored."
"I think my guess is pretty close."
"It's too far away! My father must be thinking that Xixi has just been named a princess, and such a good thing has happened again. It seems that God blesses the Ming Dynasty. This is the emperor's reward for his daughter."
After more than half a year, could she still not understand her father? Old Man Yun was a man with a very active mind and was very good at flattering himself. He hadn't done this before, probably because he didn't have such an opportunity, but it didn't mean he didn't want to, and it didn't mean he couldn't!
The system said: "Then I will keep an eye on him and see whether you are right or I am right."
"Watch carefully, pay attention to these important people, so that you don't have to check when they ask you something. So what do you do every day?"
System: "Nothing. I just checked what other hosts and systems were doing."
"Can you look at others?"
"Yes, we have a system forum. We can record what the host is doing and upload it to the system forum. Host, you are very lucky. Just eat, drink and have fun every day and you can move the mission forward. One host has already been to ten apocalyptic planes and fought zombies for nearly 1000 years."
Yun Xi: "...He is so unlucky!"
"Who said it wasn't true? I didn't even dare to close my eyes when I slept!"
Yun Xi felt a little better.
Happiness really comes from comparison.
"They are on a mission to save the world, right?"
"Yes. But the points for saving the world are only slightly higher than those for infrastructure construction, and the merits are only slightly more. These two tasks are essentially the same. Both can benefit the people."
"Then I thank you? Thank you for being an infrastructure system, not a salvation system, so that I don't have to fight for my life, which might not even end well."
"Host, don't say such harsh words. Even if the savior host does not have a good end in a certain small world, he can always start over in another world."
Yun Xi: "..."
The further you go, the more off-road the scenery becomes.
At this time, humans had only developed a small part of nature, and what remained were pure natural landscapes, which are rarely seen in later generations.
The carriage felt like it was driving through a forest, and the air we breathed was filled with the scent of nature.
Yun Xi took off the veils for herself and Mu Jinyan, "There's no dust flying around here anymore, so we don't need to wear them anymore."
She then asked, "Do you want to go down and take a walk? Let's take a look at the natural scenery."
"think."
Yun Xi stopped the carriage, Mu Sheng got off the horse, hugged his son with one hand, and helped Yun Xi get off the carriage with the other hand.
The main color you see is still green, but many leaves are already turning red and yellow.
Mu Jinyan got out of the car and began to pick up leaves curiously, picking up some of all colors and shapes.
There were so many kinds of wild plants that Yun Xi couldn't recognize them all, but she knew mint.
She remembers that in her time, there were two theories about the origin of mint. One theory was that mint was a native plant, and the "Ba" in "Chu Ci" (Chu Ci) "chuan Ba Xi Dai Wu" refers to mint. Some scholars also believed that mint was an imported product, which was first produced in the Mediterranean and West Asia regions and was introduced to China in the Yuan Dynasty.
She saw mint here, which seemed to prove that mint was a native plant.
Yun Xi bent down and picked a small one, and put it to Mu Sheng's nose: "Smell it, is there any smell?"
"It feels very cool. What is this?"
"I don't know. Dig up a few and take them back to observe."
Mu Sheng nodded and called the servant to come to work.
