Chapter 251 The Old Man Gains More Knowledge

By the time Li Jiaojiao finished drawing the picture and followed Lu Liang to the tree, the three adults had already gone to the vegetable garden and farmland in the front yard to broaden their horizons.

There wasn't much fruit on the table, but the remaining half of the 30-pound watermelon had already been eaten...

Li Jiaojiao returned to the square, walked around the picked fruits and nodded silently. These high-quality fruits can be sold at a high price!

"What are you going to do with these fruits?" Lu Liang knew the magic of the fruits in Li Jiaojiao's space. From the first time he entered until now, no matter what time it was, all kinds of fruits were hanging on the branches.

There are many varieties, far more than what is in the basket in front of you. There are many varieties of grapes alone.

Li Jiaojiao took out a small plate of cut watermelon from the space and handed it to Lu Liang, "You have never eaten watermelon before, so I saved this for you. Try it."

Lu Liang's face darkened as he looked at the plate of watermelons in front of him.

Li Jiaojiao found that Lu Ling didn't answer and was surprised. "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

She thought it tasted good when she ate it in the morning, so she put a plate of it in her space just to save it for him.

Lu Liang looked at the extremely dark and pure eyes in front of him, sighed helplessly for a long time, raised his hand to take the watermelon, and said, "Be careful outside, even if there is no one around. What if something like a telescope sees you?"

He couldn't keep her by his side all the time.

"Got it. I'll pay attention to it next time." Li Jiaojiao's eyes curved and she spoke very quickly, running down the stairs, "Try it now. It's so comfortable to eat a bite of iced watermelon in the summer."

She picked up the fruit fork and picked up a piece of watermelon, motioning Lu Ling to open his mouth. Lu Ling lowered his head and took a bite. The two smiled at each other, one trying to please her, the other helplessly doting.

This scene was seen by three people who had just returned from a walk.

Minister Lin and Censor Li were not at all surprised. They even knew that the Fourth Prince and the Princess were actually an engaged couple.

Isn't it normal for an unmarried couple to be intimate?

Only the "outsider" Minister Meng was confused. What had he seen that would make him get stye? Was this something he could see?

What are this prince and princess doing in broad daylight?

After he returns, will he propose to His Majesty to grant a marriage between the Fourth Prince and Princess Fuyao?

Could it be that the Fourth Prince and the Princess did this on purpose, hoping that these old guys would see it and report it to His Majesty?

As His Highness will be his direct superior in the future, and the princess may be the breadwinner of the Ministry of Revenue, how much gift should he give?

Old Meng has reached the position of Shangshu, so he is quite capable. I have already thought about the gift-giving in the future.

……

"Originally, I was planning to open a shop in the capital. We can't finish all the food anyway, but now..."

Li Jiaojiao looked at the fruits in the square. Well, she couldn’t finish them anyway.

Lu Liang ate the watermelon slowly while waiting for Li Jiaojiao's next words.

At this time, Minister Lin, Minister Meng and Censor Li also came over, wanting to hear what the princess was going to do next.

Li Jiaojiao walked forward a few steps and stopped in front of a basket of blueberries. After a while, she turned back and looked at the four people and smiled, "Now, let's give some to the people around here to try."

After she finished speaking, she asked Su Xin to call a few people to go to the watermelon field to pick some watermelons and put them in the ice cellar. When they were almost frozen, they would send some to the people who were busy working in the fields around the village to cool off.

During the wheat ripening season, there are still many farmers busy working outside the village.

The people on the farm cannot be left behind either. They will be distributed to each family later. Let’s let everyone taste what we picked today first.

Before Su Xin and her men went down, Minister Lin couldn't wait to speak up, "Princess, is the watermelon the one we ate before?"

Li Jiaojiao nodded, that’s right.

Minister Lin was anxious, "Miss Suxin said that those were all that was left. How come there are still some?"

"Huh?" Li Jiaojiao turned and looked at Su Xin in confusion.

Su Xin: ...

"Master Lin, the melons I mentioned were picked by the young lady herself. Only those are frozen. The rest are still in the melon field..."

Three adults who have always lamented that there are too few watermelons: …

"May I ask, Princess, if we can go take a look at this melon field?" Minister Meng said cautiously. After all, the emperor only mentioned promoting food and vegetables that are beneficial to the people's livelihood, and did not mention fruits that are exclusive to the nobility...

"Of course, please come in, gentlemen." Li Jiaojiao didn't care.

The melon field was behind the peach forest, near the foot of the mountain. Su Xin led everyone to the destination along the foot of the mountain, but Li Jiaojiao led a few old men through the peach forest and slowly turned around.

The three of them had tasted the fruits on the tree one by one. Needless to say, they tasted so good that they were stunned. They didn't dare to compare them with the fruits they had eaten before. They were simply not eatable by humans. Even the cat in the princess's house ate better than them.

Even though they were mentally prepared, the three people who entered the orchard were still stunned. This time, the calm Minister Lin and Censor Li were no longer calm, and Minister Meng instantly felt that the anger in his heart had eased a little.

Although the two hadn't said much before, the nonchalant manner in which they ate the fruit made him seem inexperienced for some reason.

Phew, now, it's finally balanced...

The fruit trees are all quite tall and look like old trees. However, because they bear so many fruits, the branches are bent and hang down like flowers. A few people can pick the fruits with just a stretch of their hands.

The three old men had stars twinkling in their eyes. They drooled at the fruits on the branches and wanted to reach out their hands, but they were too embarrassed to do so.

"My dear adults, would you like to try the fun of picking peaches?" When Li Jiaojiao walked around a peach tree, she happened to see Su Yue coming over with a few empty baskets. What a clever girl.

The three adults were stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on their faces. Minister Meng bowed again, "We will certainly be careful not to destroy the princess's orchard. Thank you, princess."

"Lord Meng, there's no need to be so polite. Just be happy." Li Jiaojiao waved her hand, and Su Yue, who was waiting behind her, handed the baskets to the three people.

While distributing baskets to everyone, Su Yue reminded them, "You can pick the fruits according to your own preferences. Someone will load the fruits you picked and bring them back to you."

Everyone was surprised and delighted, "Thank you, Princess!"

Li Jiaojiao waved her hands casually, and after a while, she looked at the figures wandering around the orchard, lowered her eyes and smiled. If her grandparents were still alive, they would probably be like this too...

Lu Liang looked at Li Jiaojiao with complicated eyes. He could sense that she was not very happy...
