490: C490 Consort's Double Joy

C490 Consort's Double Joy

The old man stretched out his withered hand, pulling Murong Yun with one hand and Luo Jianjian with the other.

"No, no."

Murong Yun was not used to this kind of enthusiasm, so he awkwardly refused. Seeing him in such a state, Luo Jianjian purposely obeyed the old man's words.

"New wheat steamed bun, wow, I haven't eaten yet. "Since it's getting late, why don't we use the carriage to help grandma bring the wheat home, and then use the lodging house to have a taste of the new wheat steamed bun?"

"Jianjian, we've already reserved the restaurant in front …"

"Hiss!"

Luo Jianjian interrupted Murong Yun with a displeased expression as she walked up and whispered with a laugh.

"Didn't you say you would do it privately? Naturally, you have to go deep into the farmhouse to take a look. Hurry, don't go! Grandma is still waiting! "

Luo Jianjian was obviously very excited, and Murong Yun smiled helplessly. He also felt that it was quite a novelty, so he decided to follow Luo Jianjian's lead.

The two of them used the carriage to carry the wheat back and forth four or five times before finally helping the old man carry it all back.

The old man could not thank them enough, so he made room for them and left for the kitchen.

Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun looked curiously at the common farmhouse.

This farmhouse was somewhat simple and crude. It was only the most ordinary of embryo chambers. However, it was not a problem for them to shelter from the wind and rain. There was a lot of food drying in the yard, and chili and corn was hanging on the beams of the houses.

There was a small vegetable patch in the corner of the yard. There were also some fruits growing in the garden. At this time of year, the vines were full of fruits.

In the house, it was dark. The bed was also made of brick and tile. It was covered with a simple cotton blanket, but it felt very comfortable to sit on.

"So warm …"

Luo Jianjian felt that this was what life in the countryside was like.

Murong Yun asked as he saw her envious expression.

"Do you envy these days? Do you know how many people want to get out of this? "

"At that time, they were still lucky, but look at the food in the yard! It's enough for them to eat, breathe fresh air, pluck fruits, and live a good life."

Luo Jianjian looked at Murong Yun and shook her head.

"Not all the food in this courtyard belongs to this old man. It's not time to hand in the food yet." If they arrived, more than half of the food in the yard would be gone. On top of that, he still needed to buy candles, meat, and seasonings every day. Sometimes, there wasn't enough food to eat, and he still needed to buy food. "This money, is for selling food, so it's not enough at all."

"Huh?"

Murong Yun's words broke Luo Jianjian's beautiful fantasy.

"Can't you just collect less food?"

"No, we have to collect them quantitatively every year. The treasury must not be empty, in case of foreign invaders invading the war, the soldiers would need to eat their fill. Or maybe it was the Year of Calamity, and the treasury had to open up grain to save the people. Therefore, in the middle of a good harvest, we must collect all the food we need. "

Luo Jianjian curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Murong Yun smiled and patted her.

"Alright, I'm also thinking of a way now." Because the matter of the Hailuan artillery shell had enlightened us, and as for us, we were in proper hands to negotiate with the Western Regions. If he could get enough gunpowder then he would have to make his own. They would then develop the mountains in the south, flatten them out, and create land that could grow food. This way, we can increase our income. "

As soon as Murong Yun finished his sentence, that old granny came over with a new steamed bun that had just come out of the wok.

"Hot steamed bun, hurry and eat!"

The grandma enthusiastically handed the steamed bun to Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun. Luo Jianjian looked at this steamed bun with mixed feelings.

"Grandmother, do you have enough food? We'll eat yours again, are you … "

"Silly child, what are you talking about? I'm the only one in my family who eats. It's enough. I also have a grandson who is now a contracted servant in the capital and can receive money from his boss every month. Thanks to the present Empress, slavery was transformed into a labor service. These days were much better than before. "Don't be reluctant to part with it. Hurry up and eat it, there's still more if it's not enough!"

Luo Jianjian couldn't help but laugh when she heard the elder praising her. Murong Yun was also full of pride as he started to eat the steamed bun.

He had eaten too much of these precious delicacies, yet he felt that this steamed bun was incomparably sweet.

After sleeping at Grandma's house for the night, Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun bid farewell to Grandma and continued their journey.

Along the way, he checked not only the situation of the autumn harvest, but also the conversion of slavery in various towns and cities. Occasionally, he would run into some troublesome matters, but they were all successfully resolved.

A month's time passed by quickly. Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun had been free for so many days, yet they had already started their journey back.

"Time flies so quickly. We've only left for a few places."

"That's right, we spent too much time on the road. Next year, next year we'll return the harvest."

"En!"

Luo Jianjian smiled sweetly at Murong Yun and leaned her head on Murong Yun's shoulder.

Luo Jianjian didn't know if it was because the carriage was too bumpy or because she didn't eat well this morning, but she suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

"Jianjian, are you alright?"

Murong Yun asked with concern as he patted Luo Jianjian's back. Just as Luo Jianjian was about to shake her head, she suddenly threw up again.

"We're almost at the capital. When we get there, we'll go to Lin Zimo's clinic to rest and take a look at his pulse."

Luo Jianjian finally managed to suppress the disgust in her heart, but she was suddenly stunned when she sat back down.

"I... "It can't be that he's pregnant, right?"

Luo Jianjian said in a daze. Murong Yun was stunned and then randomly smiled.

"You're not a doctor, how do you know?"

"I've watched TV shows before. Oh, no, novels. The women on it were all pregnant to the point where they would vomit sour water. "I just …"

Luo Jianjian had never seen a pig run before. Murong Yun also became serious when he saw Luo Jianjian being so serious.

"Feng Qing!" "Hurry, the carriage is faster!"

Murong Yun couldn't wait to know the result, his face was full of excitement and anticipation. Luo Jianjian suddenly regretted saying that. If she wasn't pregnant, wouldn't she be making Murong Yun happy?

When he arrived at Lin Zimo's clinic, Murong Xue was there as well. Her stomach was starting to show, and she looked like a blissful mother.

"Royal brother, sister-in-law, you're back?"

"Quick, call Lin Zimo over!"

Murong Yun ignored Murong Xue and hurriedly called for Lin Zimo. Lin Zimo once again took Luo Jianjian's pulse and knitted his eyebrows.

Seeing him like that, Murong Yun also frowned.

"Not pregnant?"

Luo Jianjian cautiously asked when she saw Lin Zimo's expression was the same as last time.1

Lin Zimo suddenly frowned and smiled.

"Congratulations Your Majesty, congratulations esteemed Empress. The Empress is happy, but it's still a double happiness."
