Chapter 736: Chapter 737 Her Top Priority_1

The Emperor of Xiyun said, "Yi Er, Jingjing, then I’ll be waiting for you to come to the Imperial Capital next spring! Chengyu will be so happy to know that you are coming to live in the Capital!"

An Jing just smiled.

Xiao Changyi remained expressionless.

After the Emperor of Xiyun had fully recovered, the Emperor turned to leave, planning to go back to the Capital. This time his steps were neither heavy nor sad but rather brisk.

Clearly, he was still very happy.

But seeing the Emperor like this, Xiao Changyi still spoke up, his four words neither cold nor warm: "Eat lightly."

Upon hearing this, the old eyes of the Emperor of Xiyun turned red in an instant. Yet the Emperor didn’t turn back, instead laughing loudly in reply, "I will."

With that, the Emperor of Xiyun continued forward, then got into the carriage.

After settling into the carriage, the Emperor of Xiyun still lifted the carriage curtain, stuck out his head, his old eyes red, and called out to An Jing and Xiao Changyi with a smile, "I’ll be waiting for you in the Capital, make sure you come when the time comes!"

Xiao Changyi didn’t speak and had no expression on his face but continued to watch the Emperor of Xiyun.

An Jing replied with a smile, "We’ll definitely come, adoptive father, please take care of your health!"

The Emperor of Xiyun’s carriage gradually moved away, but An Jing and Xiao Changyi didn’t go back inside the house. Instead, they watched the Emperor’s carriage until it disappeared from their sight, not a trace to be seen. Only then did An Jing and Xiao Changyi turn to go back inside.

Once inside, they remained silent for quite a while.

This clearly showed how much they cared about the Emperor of Xiyun.

...

With the Emperor of Xiyun gone, An Jing and Xiao Changyi returned to their peaceful lives.

In the calm, An Jing planned to use her modern agricultural knowledge to develop the agriculture of Xiyun Kingdom.

She had intended to do this from the beginning, and the Emperor of Xiyun making the long journey to see them only strengthened her resolve.

Preventing pests and diseases was important, but it was really difficult to eradicate completely. Even in modern times, there were still pests and diseases.

Since she already had plans and had also discussed them with her husband, An Jing naturally wouldn’t hang all her hopes on preventing pests and diseases alone, so she focused on the urgent matters at hand.

Now it was June, summertime, and the weather was hot. There wasn’t a severe drought, but there was a minor one, and the water levels had lowered somewhat.

Standing at her house’s doorway, An Jing could see the farmer’s children carrying water to irrigate the fields to prevent the crops from dying of drought.

There were ditches dug in the fields, but because the river’s water level had lowered, they had to carry the water.

After last year’s severe drought, An Jing had Meng Zhuqing take a blueprint to a carpenter to make a Dragon Bone Waterwheel. So far, the Dragon Bone Waterwheel at home hadn’t been used, and An Jing thought about making the structure and usage methods of the Dragon Bone Waterwheel public, allowing farmers who needed it to go to the carpenter to make one.

And that’s what An Jing did.

To her, this was the pressing issue.

The Dragon Bone Waterwheel was made of wood and its structure wasn’t very complex. Making one wasn’t expensive, and the average farmer could afford it.

By the time most farmers had started using the Dragon Bone Waterwheel to lift water and irrigate their fields through the ditches, it was already mid-July.

By this time, Wang Youbao’s mourning period had finally ended.

Wang Youbao was to mourn for three years, and now that his mourning period was over, he held a ceremony to indicate he no longer needed to mourn and then went to the Capital with people and a dowry to marry Li Wuyu.

Wang Youbao’s dowry was really substantial.

And Li Wuyu’s dowry was even more so.
