After a brief shock, Liu Zhezhen felt a surge of relief in his heart.

He understood that the emergence of this "three-season rice" would undoubtedly be a huge help to the prince in his fight for the throne.

This high-yield grain will greatly enhance the logistical support of the prince's army, giving the prince a three-point chance of winning the battle for the throne.

Liu Zhezhen took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.

He believed that with the support of the prince and the Nangong family, he would be able to lead Chuanzhou to a more prosperous and stable future.

At the same time, he also expected that "three-season rice" could become a powerful weapon for the prince to fight for the throne and help him win the final victory.

In Shangjing, the Feng Mansion was a busy and warm scene.

"Master, Chuanzhou has sent a lot of good things." Butler Feng walked into the study and reported to Feng Zhiyuan who was handling affairs.

When Feng Zhiyuan heard the word "Chuanzhou", he showed a pleasant surprise on his face. He put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Did Ayu send it back?"

Steward Feng nodded, with a smile on his face: "Yes, master. There are watermelons, cherry wine, meatballs, etc., and a cart of rice."

After hearing this, Feng Zhiyuan felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that Feng Qingyu had been busy in Chuanzhou, and the fact that he was able to send back these specialties showed that he also missed his family.

He smiled and said to Feng Guanjia, "Go and inform the lady quickly, and ask her to give some of these good things to the eldest sister, the second sister, and the fifth sister, so that they can also have a taste."

Butler Feng responded and walked out quickly.

Soon, laughter and joy could be heard in Feng Mansion, as the family members were all looking forward to these delicacies from afar.

.....

"Miss Jiang, the fruits in our field are almost ripe. When do you plan to pick them?" It was the end of September. As early as mid-September, Jiang Xue had gone to check on the growth of the fruit trees and said that the fruits could be harvested in about ten days. But now ten days had passed, and Jiang Xue had yet to come to collect them. So Lin Lizheng decided to go to her house and ask in person.

At the door of Jiang Xue's house, Chen Yuxi was busy sorting out the backpack behind her, which was full of tools for picking fruit. She looked up and saw Lin Lizheng, so she smiled and shook the backpack at him, saying, "Lin Lizheng, you're just in time. My lady and I are just about to go out to your village to pick fruit!"

When Lin Lizheng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face: "Oh! That's great! I was worried that Miss Jiang was too busy to remember it! Now it's great! The villagers have been waiting for this day."

Jiang Xue heard the conversation between the two and came out. She looked at Lin Lizheng, who looked anxious and expectant, and said, "Lin Lizheng, why don't you go in first and drink some water and rest your feet before leaving?"

Lin Lizheng waved his hands quickly: "No, no, Miss Jiang, we'll go when you're ready! I'm as anxious as the fruits on the tree. The villagers are waiting for me to bring back good news."

Seeing this, Jiang Xue no longer insisted. She nodded and said to Chen Yuxi, "Then let's go."

"Wait for me, I have something to do." Jiang Xue said this and hurried into the house. There was a hint of anxiety and expectation on her face, as if there was something important that needed to be dealt with immediately.

"Grandpa, I suddenly remembered something." Jiang Xue said as she quickly walked to her grandfather's side. Her tone was a little hurried, but her eyes revealed a firmness and determination.

"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" The grandfather looked at his granddaughter's nervous look and asked with concern.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said, "You can ask the guy who transports the meatballs to inform Butler Chen and tell him to come to Taohua Village to pick up the fruit this afternoon. Then arrange for people from our village to pick up the fruit. I'll give you the price list, and you can ask the guy to bring it to Butler Chen later."

...

Grandpa was sipping tea in the room. When he heard Jiang Xue's words, he put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Don't worry, I'll notify Butler Chen in time."

Jiang Xue nodded gratefully. She turned around and prepared to go out, then turned back and added: "I'll go to Taohua Village first to check the situation and make sure everything is ready."

"Be careful and don't get tired," Grandpa warned.

"Got it, Grandpa." Jiang Xue responded with a smile

......

The autumn in Taohua Village is a colorful picture.

This year, this land seems to be blessed by the god of luck. Not only are the harvests of cherries and watermelons good, but grapes, honey grapefruit, pears and oranges have also matured in August and September, with abundant fruits, as if they were a generous gift from nature to this land.

Chen Yuxi drove the carriage, the wheels rolling briskly on the winding road, quickly pulling Jiang Xue and Lin Lizheng to Taohua Village.

As soon as the carriage stopped, a group of eager villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. They were braving the scorching sun, their faces filled with smiles of anticipation and joy.

"Oh, Miss Jiang! You're finally here!" a middle-aged woman shouted excitedly, her eyes full of trust and expectation for Jiang Xue.

Other villagers also gathered around and asked various questions about the fruit.

As soon as Jiang Xue got off the car, she was pulled towards the fields by the enthusiastic villagers.

She smiled and explained to everyone: "I was supposed to come a few days ago, but something delayed me. I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Everyone pulled Jiang Xue to the orange tree.

The orange trees here are lush and green, and the trees are full of golden oranges. The branches are bent with heavy fruits.

The villager who planted the oranges pointed at the oranges on the tree and asked expectantly, "Miss Jiang, do you think they are ripe like this?"

Jiang Xue observed carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, these oranges are ripe and can be picked. Look, the peel is golden and shiny, and the fruit is heavy, which means the flesh inside is full and juicy."

Jiang Xue stood under the orange tree, looking at the branches bent by the heavy fruits, and couldn't help but sigh that this year was really a good year for harvest.

She gently reached out and broke off a branch with two bright red oranges hanging on it. The two oranges looked particularly tempting under the sunlight.

She peeled the orange in front of everyone. Once the red skin was peeled off, the crystal clear, juicy yellow flesh appeared inside.

A faint orange fragrance wafted into my nose and instantly filled the entire orchard.

Even Lin Lizheng, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaimed: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Jiang Xue gently put a slice of orange to her nose and smelled it. The familiar sweet smell made her feel as if she was back in her childhood, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.
