On the morning of the second day after all the potatoes were planted, Meixiang packed up the things she wanted to take, looked at the two small piles of potatoes reserved on the ground, went back to her room, took out a piece of paper full of words, handed it to the beautiful woman, and then took Meiying, Xiaosan, and Xiaosi out to the provincial capital. In order to give her family a better life, she had to think of other ways to make money before she could seek other things.

The beautiful woman took the letter and took a closer look. Her eyes immediately turned red. Nanny Chen leaned forward to take a look, her eyes full of shock. "Miss, this?"

"This is how to tell whether potato rice is poisonous, how to give first aid, and various precautions for planting. Although Xiang'er said little about her identity, she has been fulfilling her responsibilities with her actual actions." The beautiful woman choked up.

Nanny Chen patted the beautiful woman's back and comforted her silently. No one could understand the beautiful woman's feelings better than her. For the so-called safety, the couple were separated on their wedding day. For more than ten years, the only time Meixiang was separated was when the emperor secretly came to Liujia Village to see her briefly when she was three years old. He never saw her again after that. They even dared not write to each other too frequently. No matter how good the relationship was, it could not withstand the erosion of time.

In the palace and at home, only good news was reported, not bad news, so the young lady had resentment and even hatred in her heart. However, her social status and upbringing prevented her from expressing it. Since she knew about the potato incident, she had been struggling between reporting it and not reporting it. Her responsibility told her to report it, but her resentment in her heart made her not report it to the court.

The little lady, who seemed cold-hearted on the surface, actually saw and remembered everything. She was wondering in her heart why the best and biggest potatoes were picked out separately during the planting process these two days.

Nanny Chen's eyes also turned red as she thought about it. "Young lady should be relieved that the young lady is a caring and good child. All the hardship we have endured over the years has not been in vain. Our good days are still to come."

"Yes, yes, Li Niang is right. I hope those people in the capital will not let Xiang'er down and hurt her heart again." The beautiful woman said hatefully, wiping her tears.

Meixiang didn't distract herself or interfere with how the beautiful woman handled the matter. She did so because she couldn't bear to see her mother in such a dilemma. Her feelings for this country and the capital were the same as those of other citizens of this country. As for other so-called relatives, including the emperor father whose face she couldn't remember, she treated them the same as the people she met on the road. But she couldn't bear to see her beautiful mother sad. She had taken on everything for herself in the past ten years, so it was her turn to protect everything for her mother in the days to come.

Thinking of this, Meixiang felt that the burden on her shoulders became even heavier.

"Forget it, don't think too much about it. Just take the first step now, and deal with the rest later." Meixiang said to herself secretly while looking at the city gate in the distance.

Situ Yidong, who came to the city wall for inspection as usual, was interrupted by Xiao Nuo, who was panting, "What's the urgent matter?"

"Sir, it's Miss Wang. She heard that you were clamoring to come up from upstairs, but were stopped by the guards at the steps of the left city gate. I just heard that she sent her maid to the steps of the right city gate to block you."

"Ah! I'm leaving first, you go back by yourself." Situ Yidong, who was stunned by what he said, came to his senses and left without a care in the world, leaving Xiao Nuo alone in the wind. He was frightened by Wang Yan'er's clinging skills. Since the last time they met at the market, she chased him around like a piece of taffy.

Meixiang and the other three first went to the pharmacy to sell the herbs they brought this time, and also asked if there were any medicinal materials that were urgently needed.

When the waiter saw his boss enter the inner hall, he came up to Mei "sneakily" and asked, "Miss Mei, are you busy lately?" After finding out that Meixiang was not mute, the waiter became more enthusiastic.

"It's OK, it's OK, what good news do you have for me this time, little brother?" Meixiang smiled and glanced at the mysterious waiter, and said as she inconspicuously stuffed a small purse into his sleeve, "Thank you for your help last time, little brother."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then looked disappointed, and then quickly put on a forced smile: "Miss Mei, you are too polite, you know me, I..."

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask the waiter to have a cup of tea." Meixiang seemed not to notice the change in the waiter's expression. She was born a sensitive person and she understood the waiter's psychology. However, it would be better for both parties to stop the matter as soon as possible when they knew that there would be no results.

"Thank you very much, Miss Mei. The Sun family from the capital has come to our place to collect embroidery patterns and fresh dyeings. I wonder if you are interested in this?" The waiter was also a smart man. He understood what Meixiang meant without her pointing it out. He was also an open-minded person. Since that didn't work, he might as well step back and be friends.

"Sun family?" Meixiang was about to ask more clearly when she saw the boss coming out from the inner hall and stopped talking.

The owner of the medicine hall saw that Mei Xiang had not left yet, and looked at the waiter with a little surprise, "Boss, Miss Mei just heard someone talking about the Sun family on the road, so she asked me a few more questions out of curiosity." The waiter understood and explained to the owner, "You also know that I don't know much about this matter. What I know is just hearsay. I dare not speak nonsense."

"I'm sorry to bother you, boss. I just wanted to ask little brother to learn more about it. Now that you're out, I wonder if you could help Meixiang solve her doubts?" Meixiang took over the conversation naturally.

The boss's expression relaxed when he heard this, and he laughed in understanding, "This is a new and big thing in Liuzhou Prefecture. Since the young lady is not an outsider, I will say a few more words." Meixiang and others listened attentively with curiosity, which greatly pleased the boss of the medicine hall: "Speaking of this Sun family, it is really an incredible family. In just a dozen years, it has gone from being unknown to ranking fifth in the country, behind the four major families of Haoyue."

"Oh, this is really amazing!" Meixiang's words were not an exaggeration. If the Sun family really achieved the fifth place on their own, then they really deserved the praise.

The current Haoyue is nominally ruled by the Wang family, but in reality it is supported by the four major families of Wang, Feng, Chu and Situ. With the Chu family's prediction as a harbinger, the family has successfully turned danger into safety many times over the past thousand years.

The Wang family has always been in charge of civil administration and the empire; the Feng family is in charge of money and the Ministry of Revenue; the Chu family is in charge of divination and the Ministry of Rites; the Situ family is in charge of military affairs and the Ministry of War;

This time, the Wang family still rules the world. The second generation of the Wang family marries the only legitimate daughter of the Feng family, who are Meixiang's parents.
