Chapter 355 Companion
Seeing Lian's happy look as if she had found a treasure, she exchanged the gold ingot in her hand with the polo stick in Ye Xiaozheng's hand, and then with the ring in Zhong Yunfeng's hand. Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng both laughed. Then Ye Changyan glanced at Liang Jingcheng beside him and spoke.
"Jing Cheng is even more amazing. He won the first place in the archery competition, and the Emperor awarded him a precious bow. The King of England also gave him a jade finger. Together with the polo club and gold ingot like me, he got four treasures bestowed by the Emperor!"
Hearing Ye Changyan bragging about himself in front of Ye's father and mother, Liang Jingcheng blushed for a moment, while Lian and Ye Xiaozheng both looked surprised.
"Jingcheng is such an amazing kid. Hurry up and take your aunt and uncle to see the treasure you got."
Seeing Lian's excitement, Ye Changyan packed the three treasures in brocade boxes and boxes and put them back into the cabinet. Then everyone went into Liang Jingcheng's room next door.
After some appreciation, night gradually fell.
"Master, Madam, and several young masters, Aunt Zhen has prepared the food. The master asked me to come and ask you to go to the main hall for dinner."
Xingwang arrived at Liang Jingcheng's door and shouted to everyone inside.
The group then came out of Liang Jingcheng's room, and followed Xing Wang with smiles on their faces, heading towards the main hall.
Arriving at the main hall, Mr. Cai hurriedly invited Ye Xiaozheng and Lian to take a seat. Ye Xiaozheng and his wife were still immersed in the joy that their son had received a reward from the Emperor. Ye Xiaozheng responded to Mr. Cai with a smile on his face, and then said excitedly.
"Sanlang, what do you think about building a temple when we return, placing the gifts you received from the emperor in the temple, and moving your grandfather's tablet into the temple as well?"
When Ye Changyan heard this, he smiled and nodded. This was indeed a good idea.
"Dad, your idea is exactly what I want!"
After hearing what Ye Changyan and his son were talking about, Mr. Cai nodded in satisfaction, and then asked everyone to start eating. During the meal, Ye Xiaozheng and Lian could be heard talking about the daily life of Shanglin Village. The meal lasted for most of the hour in laughter.
After dinner, Ye Xiaozheng and Lian began to seriously care about Ye Changyan's studies. After getting a satisfactory answer from Ye Changyan, the couple went to rest in the room that had been cleaned up by the maids.
Early the next morning, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng accompanied Ye Xiaozheng and his wife and Mr. Cai to go out for a walk, while Zhong Yunfeng went to Yunfeng Tower first.
Ye Xiaozheng and Lian spent two days strolling around Shengjing. Ye Changyan bought a lot of things for his parents and Mr. Cai, which made the couple very happy, and Mr. Cai also had a look of joy on his face.
The following day, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng took Ye Xiaozheng and his wife and Mr. Cai to the farm in Sanyuan County.
The couple saw with their own eyes the experimental field that Ye Changyan had mentioned earlier on the farm, which completely overturned their preconceived impression of farming.
Accompanied by Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng, the couple entered one of the greenhouses where watermelons were grown. When they saw the watermelons all over the ground, they were shocked.
Ye Changyan told his parents that the watermelons grown in the experimental field had made a considerable amount of money in less than a month after they were put on the market. The couple were surprised and delighted, and could not suppress smiles on their faces.
In the yard of the farm where Yang Lin's family lived, Yang Lin's wife Xue Niang washed the watermelon that had just been picked from the greenhouse, cut it open to quench everyone's thirst, and then busied herself plucking the feathers of the chickens and ducks that had just been slaughtered.
“This watermelon is really good!”
Ye Xiaozheng and Lian picked up a piece of watermelon, tasted it, and were pleasantly surprised. No wonder the watermelons from this experimental field could make money within less than a month of being on the market.
After having lunch at the farm, we visited the greenhouses full of vegetables and strawberries, and then went to the construction site where a new greenhouse was being built.
It was soon past the afternoon, and the group got on the carriage and headed towards Shengjing City.
On the way, Lian asked Ye Changyan with some curiosity.
"Sanlang, do you think we can build some test sites like this in Shanglin Village?"
Hearing Lian's question, Ye Xiaozheng looked over with interest.
"Dad, Mom, this greenhouse requires a lot of investment, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Jingcheng, my husband and I jointly built this experimental field because there are many dignitaries in Shengjing, and they are even willing to spend a few taels of silver to buy a watermelon. But if we build a greenhouse in Shanglin Village and the watermelons are grown, then even the gentry in our county may not be willing to spend a few taels of silver to buy a watermelon."
Lian and Ye Xiaozheng, who were originally excited, nodded thoughtfully after hearing what Ye Changyan said.
Then Ye Changyan continued to speak.
"Dad, Mom, if you are interested in this greenhouse, after Dad recovers, we can build two next to our yard. We can grow some fruits and vegetables ourselves. We can also dig a pond next to the greenhouse, raise some fish, and plant some lotus roots. Then we can enjoy the leaves in spring and the flowers in summer. In autumn, we can eat lotus seeds and lotus roots. In winter, the fish will grow up. If you want to eat fish, we can catch them from our own pond."
Lian and Ye Xiaozheng smiled happily after hearing what Ye Changyan said. They would do as Ye Changyan said when Ye Xiaozheng recovered.
A burst of laughter came from the carriage, and Mr. Cai and Liang Jingcheng in the other carriage also had smiles on their faces.
"Sanlang, is this Yujing Palace really like a fairyland on earth?"
After a burst of laughter, Ye Xiaozheng began to care about the Yujing Palace they were going to visit the next day. When Zhong Yunfeng came back with the elixir after the New Year, he relayed Ye Changyan's description of the Yujing Palace to the Ye family. It was truly a paradise on earth with jade buildings and jade structures. At that time, the Ye family members were skeptical.
But after Ye Xiaozheng took the elixir, the Ye family members could see with their own eyes that Ye Xiaozheng's body was getting stronger day by day, which gradually made them develop an inexplicable longing and expectation for Yujing Palace.
Seeing his parents looking at him curiously, Ye Changyan said with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, didn't we pass by the palace gate in a carriage yesterday?"
Ye Xiaozheng and his wife nodded at the same time.
"Dad, Mom, do you think this palace is tall and grand enough?"
Ye Xiaozheng and his wife nodded again.
"That's right. This imperial palace is magnificent and majestic. It is the most magnificent building in the world, and the Yujing Palace is like the palace in heaven. The last time we went there, the mountain was covered with snow. The sunlight shone on the snow, reflecting the carved beams and painted buildings of the Yujing Palace, which was as gorgeous and dazzling as a fairyland on earth."
