Chapter 126 The Actress Gets Up
Yang Jianwu sounded a bit thirsty, picked up her teacup and took a few sips. She hadn't been paying attention to the tea earlier and hadn't really savored it, but the tea was quite fragrant.
"Oh right, right, raised beds are not suitable for growing rice, so add that point."
"Okay, I've added it."
Rice was the staple food of the Eastern Fence Emperor. Since the goal was to cultivate staple food, shouldn't rice be planted first?
Mo Ye has now developed a good habit: in front of Yang Jianwu, he asks questions whenever he doesn't understand something, which earns him a glare from Yang Jianwu.
"You're a good prince, but you lack knowledge! If you want to care about people's livelihood, you have to solve the problems at their root. You don't even know how rice is grown, how can you increase yields?"
Yang Jianwu beckoned to Mo Ye, "Come here, I'll give you another lesson."
Mo Ye sat attentively in his seat, like a good student.
"To grow rice, you first need to raise seedlings, and then transplant them after they grow into seedlings. Before transplanting, you need to level the field; if you make ridges, you can't grow rice. Apply some fertilizer to the field, build dams around it, and fill the field with water. Once the rice is plump, you don't need to irrigate anymore. Harvest when the rice turns golden!"
"Since rice doesn't need ridges, why are you making ridges all over the land?"
Yang Jianwu clapped his hands. "That's a good question! But there are plenty of other things to eat, like potatoes, radishes, and cabbage..."
Seeing that Mo Ye was about to ask another question, she quickly stopped him, "It doesn't matter if you don't know what these things are, the important thing is that they are edible and nutritious!"
"Oh..." Whatever Xiao Wu'er says is right, well, just listen to her.
After discussing with Mo Ye, Yang Jianwu returned to her tent to rest, while Puyang Xuan Shou remained outside.
Yang Jianwu never had the habit of having someone keep watch at night, let alone a man. Unable to sleep, she got up and went for a stroll outside.
Puyang Xuan had been feigning sleep, leaning against the tent door frame. He knew Yang Jianwu hadn't rested, and he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that she and Mo Ye had been having that conversation in private. He didn't want to acknowledge her when she came out, but his words betrayed his true feelings.
Hey, where are you going?
Yang Jianwu glanced back and said, "Oh, you're finally talking to me? I thought you were going to stay arrogant forever."
"Ok?"
Puyang Xuan was already used to Yang Jianwu occasionally throwing out new words; he'd heard them so often he'd learned to use them. He didn't know what "arrogant" meant, but he figured it was probably similar to "proud."
"How can I..."
"I'm going for a walk, do you want to come?"
"I'm not going. Nothing will happen in the military camp anyway. The military camp is Prince Ning's territory. If something happens to you, he will be responsible!"
Why do you sound so sarcastic?
"Really? I can't smell it."
"Then who are you putting on a brave face for?"
"What do you mean by 'carrying a shameless face'..."
"Then who are you trying to impress with that stern face?"
"I... I wouldn't dare to give you a hard time... You ignore me when you're angry... Sigh, so sad..."
Puyang Xuan pretended to be sad, hanging his head and gently patting his chest. Yang Jianwu was amused by Puyang Xuan's expression.
"Oh ho~ You're feeling wronged now?"
"Hmph~ How can I not feel wronged? I kindly protected you all the way to the capital, and you kicked me away as soon as you saw Mo Ye..."
"Why are you acting like a heartbroken, abandoned wife... Can you stop whining?"
Upon hearing this metaphor, Puyang Xuan felt an even stronger connection. Wasn't this exactly what it meant to be abandoned? Although Jianwu had never admitted it, in his mind, avoiding speaking to him meant she was the one who had been discarded, and the expression on his face became even more aggrieved…
Yang Jianwu was speechless. "Alright, are you being a drama queen?"
Someone arrogantly turned their head away, ignoring them! They ended up feeding the stinky mosquitoes all night!
The woman, not one to tolerate bad habits, went to sleep! She slept soundly through the night until dawn!
The next day, after having breakfast at the military camp, Yang Jianwu took Puyang Xuan back to the capital. Mo Ye had to deal with military affairs and also had to arrange the tasks left by Xiao Wu'er, so he could only watch the two leave.
To prevent Puyang Xuan from succeeding in his plan to ride together, Mo Ye specially selected a fine horse for him.
Puyang Xuan took the initiative to talk to Yang Jianwu this morning. There was no way he would give Jianwu the cold shoulder; he couldn't help but approach her whenever he saw her. He had also witnessed Mo Ye's envious and jealous gaze when they set off this morning, and was now in an exceptionally good mood, even speaking with an excited tone.
"Sword Dance, shall we go directly to Uncle?"
"Not yet, I need to go to Jubaozhai."
"Jubaozhai? Great! What's on your mind? I'll go buy it for you!"
"You have a lot of money?"
"Well, it's alright... Anyway, whatever you want, I'll definitely get it to you!"
Seeing that Puyang Xuan was starting to pledge his loyalty again, Yang Jianwu quickly changed the subject.
"Puyang Xuan, let me share another secret with you!"
"What secret?!"
Since learning that Yang Jianwu was one of the heads of the Medicine King Palace, Puyang Xuan's admiration for her has greatly increased. He wondered, what woman in the world could do what she did? He certainly hadn't met one.
"Jubaozhai is mine!"
"Huh?! Are you serious?!"
Yang Jianwu nodded smugly, "Do I look like I'm lying?"
Someone shook their head blankly, "Um...it doesn't seem like it..."
It's scary precisely because it doesn't sound like a lie! Jubaozhai is a household name in Dongli; even young children know it: Transformation and Rebirth, Jubaozhai, the Treasure House of the World!
"Sword Dance, are you very rich?!"
I've heard that Jubaozhai's annual income accounts for one-third of Dongli's tax revenue. I don't know if it's true or not, but even if it's just a rumor, Jubaozhai's income is still considerable.
“Um…it’s alright…” Yang Jianwu repeated the words to Puyang Xuan, adding, “I need to support my father’s army.”
The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.
The imperial court's pay was too little. To win the hearts of the soldiers, in addition to psychological appeal, it was also necessary to offer incentives.
Waaah~ Puyang Xuan felt like crying. How could he possibly win the heart of this beauty? He thought his wealth would be an advantage, but now it seems he's completely outmatched...
"Hey, hey, hey~ Stop making that hurt face."
"Sword Dance... Can you tell me what kind of man you like?"
What kind of man? She hadn't really considered that... Handsome? That's just all show and no substance! Skilled in martial arts? She was worried she wouldn't be able to beat him and would be subjected to domestic violence!
"Being single is great; you can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want when you're alone!"
Puyang Xuan finally managed to ask the question he'd been holding back all night, "Then why did you still choose Mo Ye as your provisional future husband?!"
Yang Jianwu realized she'd been tricked again... She'd better be more careful next time she chatted with Puyang Xuan! One isn't enough!
"It was Consort Qi who said Mo Ye was suitable for me. Besides, we're just business partners, not a real couple..."
"So, you don't like Mo Ye?"
"When did I ever say I liked someone?!"
"Hahaha~" Puyang Xuan laughed out loud. Today is truly a good day! As long as Jianwu doesn't have Moye in her heart, he is confident that he can catch up with Jianwu's pace!
