"Take me to have a look …"
Jiang Pengji's eyes shone as she requested. Although it was a request, Wan Xiu 'er had no room to refuse.
Wan Xiu 'er said, "The mansion is some distance away from the camp. Don't you want to send someone to prepare a carriage and guards first? You're the lord of a region. If you're alone, there might be an accident. They're still planted in the inner courtyard of the previous mansion. They can't run away. "
Jiang Pengji did not listen to these words. She pulled Wan Xiu 'er out of the military tent and said to the orderly who was waiting outside, "Prepare the horse!"
She was a swift and decisive person. The cotton was an important matter related to the people's livelihood. She did not want to wait for a moment.
She was too rough during the war. She did not know if she disturbed the few cotton plants.
The orderly pulled White over. Jiang Pengji leaped onto the horse's back and extended her hand to Wan Xiu 'er.
Wan Xiu 'er subconsciously extended her hand. She only felt Jiang Pengji lift her up the horse with force.
Surprise …
Before Wan Xiu 'er could react, Jiang Pengji had already galloped out of the camp. A few orderly behind her mounted the horse and followed her.
However, their lord's mount was too powerful. White had not unleashed its full power for a long time. It could not stop once it started galloping.
When the few orderly and guards arrived at the destination, trembling with fear, Jiang Pengji had been looking at the few cotton plants for a long time.
Wan Xiu 'er was still in a state of shock. Her clothes were disheveled. Her hair was scattered on her shoulders. The pearls and jades that were used to hold her in place were gone.
Looking at her, they thought that their lord had pinned them to the ground.
"Why are you so late …"
The panting soldier was dumbfounded and subconsciously asked for forgiveness.
Jiang Pengji said, "Forget it. Go get a shovel and dig up all these trees. Remember not to damage the roots."
"Oh? Oh! "
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted. They all went to find shovels.
"Be careful. When you dig them out, the roots must be wrapped in soil …"
Jiang Pengji commanded the whole time. The soldiers were trembling with fear as if they were walking on thin ice.
It was not that they were timid. Anyone who had seen Jiang Pengji kill enemies on the battlefield would be afraid of her.
They were busy until sunset. The few trees were carefully moved out. To make it easier to move, they even found an extra-large pottery tank!
Jiang Pengji drilled a few holes at the bottom of a few ceramic jars for easy watering in the future.
The cotton was not tall. The three stalks were only four to five feet tall. The Panzhihua was slightly taller, but it was only a little more than ten feet.
Jiang Pengji heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that they had been moved out safely.
Wan Xiu'er's curiosity was piqued.
She knew that Jiang Pengji was a person who would do great things. If the thing was useless, Jiang Pengji would not be so nervous …
"Is there anything unusual about this object?"
Wan Xiu 'er had been planting them for a few years. Apart from the unique pattern, the dried flowers could be used to fill pillows and mattresses, but there seemed to be no other use for them.
Because of the cotton and the kapok tree, Jiang Pengji's impression of Wan Xiu 'er went up another level.
She said bluntly, "Of course there is. It can protect all the people in the world from the cold."
Wan Xiu 'er blinked her eyes.
Of course, she would not doubt Jiang Pengji's words, but — these ornamental plants, were they really that powerful?
So that the people of the world would not suffer from the cold?
Even the reincarnation of a Saint would not be able to do this, right?
"You've done a great service!" Jiang Pengji pressed her hands on both sides of her shoulders. "I can't thank you enough. If you have any needs, I will definitely satisfy them."
Although they were separated by thick clothes and a mink fur cloak, she could still feel Jiang Pengji's slender hands.
They were very strong and inexplicably gave her a sense of security that she had never felt before.
Wan Xiu 'er would not have believed such an ordinary promise in the past, but the person who said it was Jiang Pengji, so she believed it.
"I can't accept such a promise."
"A gentleman's promise is worth the five mountains!" Jiang Pengji emphasized. She did not say it casually.
Wan Xiu 'er's face suddenly turned red. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Pengji and said in an annoyed tone, "You … So many years have passed, but your glib tongue has not deteriorated. You said that to Jingxian back then, and now it's me. Who else do you want to say that to in the future? "
She remembered clearly that when Jiang Pengji's gender was exposed, many noble ladies ridiculed her, and Wan Xiu 'er was also jealous.
She never thought that Jiang Pengji would use the same words to coax Wei Jingxian.
Really …
Can't you change it?!
Jiang Pengji: "…"
Wan Xiu 'er chuckled. "Fine, fine. I believe you. I don't ask for much. Just give me a place to stay. "
Jiang Pengji responded with an "oh" and said, "Yes, I will definitely provide for you."
Wan Xiu 'er was overjoyed. Her smile these two days was more than the sum of the previous years.
Although Jiang Pengji knew about cotton, she did not know how to raise it. Wan Xiu 'er, on the other hand, had dealt with it for a few years and had more experience than her.
So …
Jiang Pengji asked her, "What plans do you have for the future?"
Wan Xiu 'er combed her messy long hair and smiled. "I am under your protection. Other than that, what other plans can I have?"
Jiang Pengji shook her head and explained.
"What I mean is, do you want to have a career in the future?"
Wan Xiu 'er's hand froze beside her ear. Did she hear wrongly?
"I … I have no strong points. I am just a woman. What career can I have?"
Jiang Pengji said, "You have a strong point that others don't have. After conquering Cangzhou, I will have to rest for a few months. It is not the right way to be militaristic. I have to give the soldiers and people a chance to rest and recuperate. I plan to pick a few good fields to try planting these cotton. After accumulating experience and good seedlings, I will pick a suitable place to expand the scale of planting. There is also news from Wanzhou. Huijun's spinning wheel has made a breakthrough. The spinning speed is extremely fast. If the two are combined, who knows how many people will benefit. "
Wan Xiu 'er was stunned on the spot. Her mind was in a mess.
Although she did not understand, Wan Xiu 'er knew that Jiang Pengji would not lie to her about such things.
This was definitely a good thing!
Before Wan Xiu 'er married, she was the daughter of a noble family. After she married, she became a noble lady. Her marriage was not satisfactory, but the quality of her life was good.
It was indeed difficult for her to be tormented by cotton planting.
However, Wan Xiu 'er had experienced a disaster. She knew that in troubled times, without anyone to protect her, her life would not be any better.
Even if there were no benefits to it, she would not refuse Jiang Pengji's suggestion.
On the other side, Feng Zhen knew that his lord had left the army camp on horseback. This frightened him.
There were still remnants of the enemy's troops outside. If his lord was careless and encountered some rascals, he would be in trouble!
Feng Zhen was anxious. He arranged for a group of people to escort him to Jiang Pengji.
The warhorse's jolting made his buttocks hurt!
He hurried and arrived just in time to catch a few soldiers carrying pots of cotton and kapok trees. They were moving them to the carriage.
Oh my …
Weren't these Lady Wan's treasures?
His lord brought Lady Wan here and even asked people to dig out these trees. What was she trying to do?
Feng Zhen dismounted from the horse in a sorry state. He raised his hand to fling the hair tie around his neck to the back of his head.
Guess what he saw?
He saw his lord and Wan Xiu 'er walking out of the courtyard side by side. The former was talking and laughing, while the latter was "timidly" hanging her head and wringing her sleeves.
Wan Xiu 'er's hair was loose, and her clothes seemed to have been tidied up. Feng Zhen was shocked.
'F * ck! F * ck!
