After the god-level herbs, there are new high-yield seeds.
"One hundred thousand kilograms of high-yield early rice seeds."
"One hundred thousand kilograms of high-yield late rice seeds."
"One hundred thousand kilograms of high-yield spring wheat seeds."
"One hundred thousand kilograms of high-yield winter wheat seeds."
... ...
Fang Zheng's heart started pounding when he heard this!
No, he had to ask the crown prince of Chu whether other princes of Chu would marry concubines? Should they make peace with Yan? Yan also had princesses! And more than one!
Although not as powerful or beautiful as Princess Xingnong of Jin, the princess of Yan is also extremely beautiful, and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting!
He peeked at those high-yield grain varieties and saw at a glance that the grain varieties provided by Chu State were indeed much better than those of Zhao State!
No matter in size, fullness or glossiness!
Is this the high-yield grain variety that can be saved for seeds
Good, very good!
Ha ha... ..
He finally felt relieved!
At this time, the ceremonial officer sang loudly: "New food, 10,000 catties of high-yield corn seeds!"
When everyone heard this, they were all confused. Then they looked at the golden corns one by one and asked, "What is this? Can we eat it?"
“Since it’s called corn, it must be edible!”
... ..
"Ten thousand kilograms of high-yield cold-resistant cotton seeds!"
"What are these cold-resistant crops?"
"For making clothes?"
"I am an old and ignorant person who has never heard of this betrothal gift from the Crown Prince of Chu! I don't understand! Who can help me explain it?"
... ...
People outside the palace gate were discussing this astonishing betrothal gift excitedly.
This astonishing betrothal gift was unprecedented and has been talked about with great relish by people from all over the world for many years.
Chu Tiankuo ignored the hustle and bustle outside. After all, Chu Tiankuo was the crown prince of a country, so he would not stay outside waiting for the inspection of the cartloads of betrothal gifts. He had already been invited to the palace to rest and wait for the summons from the King of Jin.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, he was invited to the Qiankun Palace by the eunuch.
The King of Jin and Shen Ruoxi sat in the main seats.
The King of Jin took a look at the list of betrothal gifts in his hand and was quite satisfied with his intentions.
After all, it is not easy to escort so many things over thousands of miles.
He glanced at Chu Tiankuo and said, "This betrothal gift is too much. Take half of it back."
Chu Tiankuo replied: "No need. These things are just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Father and Mother will accept them."
Shen Ruoxi smiled and said, "Yes, courtesy is the norm. This is a courtesy. There is a give and take. This is the best way. It has a good meaning!"
The woman's family will usually only accept a portion of the betrothal gift sent by the man, and give the rest back to the man. They can also choose not to give it back to the man, but they need to prepare some more for him, and the number of gifts must be even, which is a courtesy, and emphasizes the meaning of give and take.
Chu Tiankuo: "Then just bring back some wedding candies and wedding cakes. The journey is long, so let's not go through the trouble."
Shen Ruoxi had already prepared a return gift, and didn’t say much to him: “When does Tian Kuo plan to return to Chu?”
The King of Jin also asked: "Will you come to greet the bride in person?"
Before Chu Tiankuo could speak, Shen Ruoxi said, "No need to be so troublesome, right? Just send an envoy over."
The two of them were to be married at the end of September. He has been back in Chu for more than six months now. If he were to go to pick up the bride in person, he would not be able to stay in Chu for long and would have to set off again to go to Jin to pick up the bride.
It takes about three months to go back and forth from Chu to Jin, so he has spent almost the past six months on the road. As the crown prince of a country, she naturally knows that he has a lot of things to do. Just look at Shen Hancheng. The king of Jin almost gave most of the memorials to him for review, so Shen Ruoxi thought that he would not come to Jin in person to marry.
Chu Tiankuo shook his head: "I will return to Chu tomorrow, and I will come to pick up the bride in person then."
How could he not come and marry his girl in person
That's too unfair to her!
Moreover, the journey is long and dangerous, how can he feel at ease
So he never thought about the problem that he would not come to pick up the bride.
Shen Ruoxi waved her hand upon hearing this: "No need to go back and forth and waste time. I will return to Chu with Xing Nong in mid-July. You can just come to Futai County to welcome the bride then."
Shen Ruoxi has no sense of belonging to this palace. She feels that Taohua Village in Futai County is her and Xingnong’s home.
She also wants to go back to Chu very much now, but the man next to her is not going to let her go because he is not busy yet.
Shen Ruoxi glared at the King of Jin.
She wanted to take Xingnong and follow Chu Tiankuo back tomorrow.
But this person disagrees!
The King of Jin immediately smiled at Shen Ruoxi: “It’s best for Xing Nong to marry from Jin! Didn’t we agree to wait a few months?”
He wanted to let the people of the four countries see how glorious his princess' wedding would be!
This is also a warning to the people of Chu not to bully his princess.
Shen Ruoxi just rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Chu Tiankuo glanced at the King of Jin.
Xing Nong said that Shen Ruoxi would return to live in Chu State, and I heard that the King of Jin State would go with her, but I don’t know if it’s true.
In fact, he didn’t expect that the King of Jin would be so affectionate towards Shen Ruoxi, so he thought it should be true.
However, it is difficult for a king to leave the palace, let alone leave the country, unless he abdicates and lets the crown prince of Jin ascend the throne and he becomes the emperor.
These thoughts just flashed through his mind, and he didn't delve into them. Xing Nong would be relieved if Shen Ruoxi returned to live in Chu State, so Chu Tiankuo hoped that this would happen. As for whether the king of Jin State would follow him, it had no effect on him.
He smiled and said, "Then I will have to personally come to welcome the bride and protect the palace and the princess to arrive safely in Chu. I will arrive in early August, no later than the fifth of August. The sixth of August is also an auspicious day. If I go out on that day, I will have enough time to rush back to Chu. The queen and the princess can rest more on the way and don't have to work so hard."
Shen Ruoxi: “Then isn’t it too troublesome and tiring for you to run back and forth?”
"Don't worry, Queen. I don't feel bothered or tired. Even if I'm tired, I'm happy. This is something I'm very happy about! If I don't come in person, I'll feel regretful and incomplete."
Shen Ruoxi was very happy to hear this and said, “Then it’s up to you.”
The future son-in-law values his daughter so much that he came personally to pick her up despite the long journey. He feels that only by coming personally can the wedding be perfect, so she is naturally happy.
This shows that the son-in-law attaches great importance to this marriage.
The more you value a marriage, the more you hope it will be perfect!
Chu Tiankuo asked again: "I don't know, what is the etiquette of welcoming a bride in Jin State? When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When the time comes, I will..."
The next step was to discuss the details of the wedding, and Chu Tiankuo had also planned where to stay along the way from Jin to Chu.
He will make arrangements on the way back, and now he has to make it clear with Shen Ruoxi and the King of Jin, because when he comes to pick up the bride in August, there will be no chance to talk about these things.
Of course, he didn't need to tell them about these arrangements, he just had to make them. The reason he told the two of them was because he wanted them to feel at ease.
At the same time, he also knew that the King of Jin would definitely make arrangements on the way to the bride.
Now that I have let him know about my arrangements, he will definitely combine them with my own, so that my safety along the way will be more secure!
After all, the journey from Jin to Chu is too long, passing through too many poor and mountainous places with bad waters. It would be a lie to say that there is no danger!
Chu Tiankuo stayed in the palace for half a day, and discussed all the details of the wedding with the King of Jin State. Only then did he leave the palace with peace of mind.
