Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 291 The No. 2 Royal Husband

After getting married, Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo went out as a couple every day, which aroused the envy of many people, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they got along sweetly.

These performances naturally fell into the eyes of Qi Chenghe. Since Qi Chenghe entered the Imperial Academy, he thought that he would be able to flex his muscles and show his ambitions. As a result, he stayed in the Imperial Academy and did his daily work. It is responsible for repairing the damaged books of the Hanlin Academy.

This kind of work is extremely boring. He found that many officials are only promoted by a rank when their beards are gray, and there are not many opportunities for promotion here.

Thinking of this, Qi Chenghe couldn't help but think of Xiao Zimo. He thought that the other party would not be able to step into the officialdom, and he must have lived in extreme pain, so he felt a lot more comfortable.

With this in mind, he began to pay attention to Xiao Zimo's news, but he didn't expect to hear all the sweet daily life between Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai. We went to the temple fair together again, and the days were so pleasant.

Hearing the news, Qi Chenghe almost vomited blood. He conscientiously completed the tasks assigned by his superiors, but in the end, he was not as happy and unrestrained as Xiao Zimo.

Wu Bai naturally didn't know about Qi Chenghe's various thoughts.

He was thinking about what to give to the prince as a wedding gift recently, and there was one month before Wu Xu's East Palace welcomed the princess.

"Zimo, what do you think it would be better for me to give my second brother?" Wu Bai asked.

Xiao Zimo thought for a while and said: "The prince does not lack gold, silver and jewels. Although he is now a prince, the third prince is also not weak in the court. You can think carefully about what to give him. It helped him the most."

"You're right." Wu Bai nodded.

Suddenly, his eyes brightened slightly, and he thought of something good. This thing can definitely help his elder brother, and at the same time help the people of Liming all over the world.

"You thought of it?" Xiao Zimo asked in surprise.

"Well, I thought of it, but I don't know if I can find this thing." Wu Bai said worriedly.

Xiao Zimo asked: "What are you talking about, maybe I have heard of it."

"sweet potato."

"Sweet potato? What is this?" Xiao Zimo asked puzzled.

"Sweet potato is a kind of food. It is easy to survive after planting, has a large yield, tastes sweet, can be eaten raw or cooked, and is easy to fill the stomach. If I can find the seeds of sweet potato, my second brother will definitely like this gift." Wu Bai explained.

"What does this sweet potato look like?" Xiao Zimo asked.

Wu Bai took a paintbrush and drew the appearance of a sweet potato on the paper, and also drew the leaves and roots of the sweet potato on the paper.

When Xiao Zimo saw the shape of the leaf on the painting, he suddenly remembered where he seemed to have seen it before.

"Where did you meet?"

Wu Bai's voice rang in his ears, and Xiao Zimo realized that he unconsciously said that he had seen this leaf.

"Let me think about it first." Xiao Zimo closed his eyes and carefully recalled in his mind. Finally, he said, "I saw this kind of leaves in the wasteland near a farmhouse in Shuangyang County."

As the son of the county magistrate of Shuangyang County, Xiao Zimo is not a person who endures hardships and is afraid of being tired. His father also likes to understand people's sentiments. He remembers that he saw this leaf when he followed his father to the village, but the farmer didn't seem to Treating sweet potatoes as food, the other party should be treating the vines of sweet potatoes as weeds, because the other party was cutting off those vines to feed the cows at that time, and did not find that there was enough food under the vines.

"Shuangyang County?" Wu Bai pondered.

After a while, Wu Bai decided: "Let's go to Shuangyang County now and bring back the sweet potato seeds."

"It may be a long way from the capital to Shuangyang County, and it will take four months to travel. I'm afraid it will be too late for the prince's wedding." Xiao Zimo analyzed.

Wu Bai decided: "Let's go by water, we should be able to get back within a month."

"Okay." Xiao Zimo agreed.

He got married last time, and his parents were not able to attend his wedding. Xiao Zimo thought that when he went back this time, he could just show Wu Bai to his parents.

After the two made up their minds, they immediately packed their luggage, took Yulan to the pier, and left the capital by boat.

After boarding the boat, both Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo were fine, but Yu Lan suddenly became seasick. Wu Bai thought of the acupressure technique he had learned from Master Yuan. Finally, Yulan no longer gets seasick.

"My lord, you are amazing!" Yu Lan looked at Wu Bai in admiration.

"Do you want to learn?" Wu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I think, I think!" Yu Lan nodded repeatedly.

"If you want to learn, you must know all the meridians and acupoints, but I don't have any blueprints. I will draw them after I return to Beijing, and then you can learn according to that." Wu Bai spread his hands.

Even so, Yulan was very happy, as if he wanted to learn peerless martial arts, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

The boat traveled all the way, and finally arrived at Shanzhou Mansion on the tenth day. Wu Bai and the others disembarked and entered Shanzhou Mansion.

After entering the city, Wu Bai and the others rushed to the car dealership to rent a carriage and headed towards Shuangyang County, and finally arrived in Shuangyang County two days later.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't know that Xiao Zimo and the others were coming back, so they were unprepared when facing Wu Bai.

Wu Bai and the others thought that the speed of delivering letters by boat would be faster than that of post stations, so they didn't write letters in advance.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother looked at Wu Bai awkwardly for a moment before realizing that Wu Bai was the emperor's son. They quickly knelt down to salute, but they were stopped by Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo.

"Father, mother, I am now married to Zimo, husband and wife, you are also my parents, how can I let you give me a big gift." Wu Bai said.

Father Xiao said: "It must have been hard work for you to come all this way, please sit down and drink some tea for a rest!"

"Thank you father." Wu Bai sat down without hesitation.

Seeing Wu Bai's easy-going attitude, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were also relieved. Their son was able to become a son-in-law, which naturally made them happy, but they were still worried in their hearts that Wu Bai, the emperor's brother, had a bad temper. Seeing Wu Bai in person, both of them felt relieved.

Capital

When the emperor learned that Wu Bai had left the capital, he immediately summoned Madam Lou and asked, "What's the matter with Brother Bai leaving the capital?"

Mother Lou replied: "Young Master said that he has important things to do and needs to leave the capital, but he said that he will come back before His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding."

"It's been almost half a month, why didn't you tell me!" the emperor said angrily.

Especially when he knew that Wu Bai and his wife had only Yulan as their servant, he was worried.

"My lord won't let the old slave tell His Majesty, lest His Majesty worry." Mother Lou replied.

"Hmph!" the emperor snorted coldly, "Do you know where he went?"

"Young Master said that he and his son-in-law will go back to Shuangyang County to visit his parents." Mother Lou explained truthfully.

"Shuangyang County!" the emperor said angrily, "Shuangyang County is so far away from the capital, Brother Bai is really confused. If he wants to go to Shuangyang County, tell me, and I won't stop him. When something happens..."

"My son is auspicious, and he will be safe and sound." Mother Lou said.

The emperor gave her a hard look and said, "Why didn't you stop them!"

Lou Nanny lowered her head and replied, "Young master is the master, slaves dare not go beyond the rules."

"...Forget it, step back!" The emperor waved his hand.

If someone else said these words, they would definitely be questioned by the emperor, but Mother Lou was originally a servant of the Empress Yuan, and the emperor finally spared her.

Grandma Lou had just left the imperial study, she didn't walk very far when she saw Wu Xu coming towards her.

Wu Xu stopped her and asked, "Madam Lou, I heard that Brother Bai has left the capital?"

"Go back to His Royal Highness, the young master has indeed left Beijing." Mother Lou replied.

"Did he say what it was because of? When did he come back?" Wu Xu asked.

"Young master only said that he and his son-in-law will go home to visit relatives, and they will come back before His Highness's big wedding." Mother Lou replied one by one.

Hearing this answer, Wu Xu knew that Wu Bai must have taken the water route, only in this way could he come back before his big wedding, and counting the time, he reckoned that the other party should have arrived at Xiao's house.

"Thank you Mammy." Wu Xu cupped his hands to Madam Lou to thank him.

Grandma Lou hurriedly turned away, missing Wu Xu's gift, and said, "Your Highness, you are welcome, this old servant will leave."

Wu Xu nodded and said, "Mommy, go slowly!"

Three Prince's Mansion

Wu Chen also got the news that Wu Bai left Beijing, and he was talking about it with his confidant.

"What do you think about Brother Bai leaving the capital?" Wu Chen looked at his confidant and asked.

The confidant thought for a moment, and said: "According to the information received by my subordinates, the fifth son was searching for a wedding gift for His Royal Highness before leaving Beijing. His sudden departure this time must not be as simple as going back to Shuangyang County to visit relatives."

"According to what you mean, he went to Shuangyang County this time to prepare a wedding gift for the prince?" Wu Chen asked along the words.

"Yes, the subordinates think that it is almost inseparable." The confidant replied.

"But what is there in Shuangyang County that is worth them leaving Beijing to get it in person?" Wu Chen asked suspiciously.

"I don't know about this subordinate." The confidant shook his head.

Wu Chen thought for a while, and said, "The son-in-law is from Shuangyang County. There are many students in Beijing who have a good relationship with the son-in-law. You may be able to hear the clues from their mouths."

The confidant cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate will do it now."

"Well, let's go!" Wu Chen said with his hands behind his back.

Shuangyang County

After Xiao's father learned about Wu Bai's purpose, he brought Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo to the village where the farmer was again.

They were dressed in regular clothes, and the villagers only guessed that they were rich and honored lords from the city going out to relax, but there was no other doubt. It was already late when Wu Bai and the others arrived in the village, so they stayed at the villagers' homes for one night.

The next day, they borrowed hoes from the villagers pretending to be curious, dug out all the small pieces of sweet potatoes, and loaded them into the carriage. Finally, in order to thank the villagers for their help, they gave each other some silver taels as a reward.

The three came and went in a hurry, and the villagers quickly forgot about their arrival. Only the villager who received them kept this incident in his heart. It wasn't until sweet potatoes became popular all over the country that this villager didn't know about Wu's arrival. Bai Bai and the others came to the village.

Although Wu Bai and the others dug up all the sweet potatoes, the area of ​​the sweet potato field is not large, and they only harvested three radish boxes of sweet potatoes in the end.

In fact, why Wu Bai chose to take this trip in person is because he wanted to identify sweet potatoes with his own eyes.

After the sweet potatoes were dug, there was only half a month left before the prince's wedding. Wu Bai and the others didn't dare to delay at Xiao's house any longer, and soon drove to the Shanzhou Prefecture Wharf again in a carriage.

On the way back, Yulan got seasick again, Wu Bai followed the method before, and tapped some acupuncture points on his body again.

After recovering from seasickness, Yulan eagerly wanted to learn how to tap acupuncture points. Seeing that he was so eager to learn, Wu Bai simply taught him to identify a few relatively simple acupuncture points.
