The Regent's Farmer Wife [Farming]

Jiang Ji, a rich second-generation heir, unexpectedly transmigrated into ancient times.

His ancient life consisted of a dead father, a frail mother, younger siblings starved down to skin and bones, and a home stripped bare of everything.

"Yue!"

How could a stomach accustomed to delicacies served on jade plates possibly stomach coarse cakes and wild vegetables? Jiang Ji was overwhelmed with grief.

But there was a way out. He was bound to a livestreaming System. As long as he completed the System's tasks, he could earn rewards and receive tips from viewers.

For the sake of his own stomach and his family's, Young Master Jiang rolled up his sleeves and got to work.

Rice, pork, padded clothes: √

Valuable daily necessities and medicine: √

Seeds for precious, high-yield crops like rice, sweet potatoes, and potatoes: √

Farming skills: √

Later on

His frail mother was rosy-cheeked and full of energy. His younger siblings, once skin and bones, grew plump, clever, and lively.

The poorest family in the village, the Jiangs, built a grand house with gray bricks and tiled roofs. Their businesses spread across the country.

The village and county prospered along with them, becoming famous nationwide as a land of plenty.

One day, on his way home, Jiang Ji found a man dressed in black, covered in wounds. Handsome and extraordinary, the man made Jiang Ji, who liked men, fall for him at first sight.

The man had injured his head and lost his memory. He couldn't even remember his own name.

Jiang Ji: My name sounds too quiet, so I'll call you Jiang Yan. It goes perfectly with mine.

Jiang Yan: All right.

Later, Jiang Ji said, "I'm still missing a wife. You can be my wife from now on. I'll treat you well."

Jiang Yan's gaze darkened. "Sounds good."

Later

After a night of passion, Jiang Ji came out clutching his waist, muttering, "We agreed you'd be my wife, but you changed your mind in the blink of an eye. How am I supposed to live like this!"

Lu Huaizhou, formerly Jiang Yan, now the regent, emerged at an unhurried pace. "You've still got energy? Then I guess I haven't been trying hard enough."

Jiang Ji's legs trembled: !

--

Regent Lu Huaizhou was a master of both letters and martial arts, able to bring peace to the realm with his sword and secure the nation with his pen. The late emperor personally appointed him regent to the young sovereign, who addressed him as Imperial Father.

He devoted himself to state affairs, putting the court in order and punishing corrupt officials. Decisive and swift, he commanded the respect of the entire court. He was the anchor of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and every young lady from a distinguished family dreamed of becoming the Regent's consort.

Yet when Lu Huaizhou went south to investigate a case, he disappeared without a trace. More than half a year later, he returned and announced before the court that he would marry a commoner as his consort.

A commoner. A man, not even a woman.

The entire court erupted. Officials urged him to reconsider and even prepared portraits of many eligible women for him to choose from.

Lu Huaizhou remained unmoved and married the commoner, Jiang Ji.

Someone asked Jiang Ji curiously, "Why is the Regent so devoted to you in particular?"

Jiang Ji raised his brows with a grin. "Obviously, he's got great taste!"

Later, Lu Huaizhou led the young emperor and the entire court to the top of a mountain. Before them stretched thousands of acres of fertile farmland, laden with crops and vegetables, with sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes yielding harvest after harvest.

The Great Sheng Dynasty's granaries overflowed, and no one went hungry again.

The emperor exclaimed, "Mr. Jiang Ji is truly a man of great talent!"

Everyone agreed: "The Regent has a discerning eye!"

Only after Jiang Ji solved the food shortage, a problem the entire court had been unable to fix, did everyone realize he had meant every word.

Next book: The True Young Master's Socially Anxious Little Husband. A warm and sweet little story. Please add it to your favorites.

Blurb: Xia Siyuan, who has social anxiety, transmigrated into a book and became the poorest young man in a slum in the capital. His parents were gone, leaving only a gravely ill grandfather and a young brother. Their home was bare, and they were so poor they could barely afford food.

Luckily, Xia Siyuan's snack shop came with him.

Spicy gluten strips, duck necks, cold rabbit meat, potato chips, dried fish, braised tofu,

dried fruit, candied fruit, chocolate, jelly, chicken feet, dried little fish...

At least they wouldn't go hungry. But as someone with social anxiety, calling out to customers on the street felt like torture. Still, he had to make a living, so he worked up the courage to set up a stall.

Xia Siyuan (taking a deep breath): "S-spicy... gluten strips... d-duck necks, anyone?"

Eek, this is terrifying QAQ...

He Jian, a scholar from the neighboring alley, had lost his parents three years ago. His mother had brought him into her new marriage, and now his uncles and aunts had thrown him out as an outsider, insisting he wasn't really one of the He family. The truth was that his cousin was getting married and needed a house.

Furious, He Jian made a scene. His uncles and aunts broke one of his arms, leaving him homeless and at death's door. The marriage arranged for him was called off, too.

When Xia Siyuan saw He Jian, his eyes lit up. He immediately brought the unfortunate man home.

He Jian was the protagonist of the original book. On the surface, he was a poor boy from the slums. In truth, he was the real young master of the Marquis of Might's family in the capital, switched at birth.

In the book, half a year later, the Marquis of Might's family would find He Jian and bring him home, restoring him to his rightful place among the nobility. The following year, he would come first in the imperial examinations, becoming the top scholar and rising rapidly through the ranks.

Xia Siyuan thought, "He'll owe me for saving his life. If I run into trouble later, at least I can ask him for a little help."

He carefully looked after He Jian, finding him a doctor, making sure he had food and drink, and encouraging him not to give up.

Before long, He Jian was able to get back on his feet.

Once he could walk, He Jian helped Xia Siyuan run his stall, his broken arm in a sling. He handled calling out to customers, haggling, and greeting them, while Xia Siyuan only had to collect the money.

The socially anxious Xia was moved to tears: Not having to call out to people is wonderful!

Half a year later, the Marquis of Might's family found He Jian and brought him home, restoring his place in the family.

Xia Siyuan sat in his little snack shop, thinking he would have to find another shop assistant.

Who knew that not long after, the Marchioness of Might would arrive with a matchmaker to propose marriage?

Xia Siyuan: !

He Jian once had a happy family. Even though he wasn't his parents' biological son, they loved him dearly and paid for his education.

But then his parents died one after the other, and three years later his uncles drove him out of the family home. The marriage that had been arranged for him fell through, too, and his life sank into a mire.

As torrential rain poured down, he lay wounded in a ruined temple, utterly despondent.

Then a young man brought him home and cared for him attentively.

The young man was called Xia Siyuan. He had a palm-sized face, round and adorable almond-shaped eyes, and a gentle, considerate nature. He often encouraged He Jian, too.

He was a ray of light in He Jian's dark life, warming him and giving him the strength to keep going.

The only thing was, the young man was a little timid and afraid of people. He could spend half a day at his stall without daring to call out to customers.

He Jian set aside his books, picked up the steelyard, and helped him run the stall during the day before returning to his studies at night. He quietly resolved to earn a scholarly title and protect Xia Siyuan for the rest of his life.
