Blessed Daughter

And at that time, Chu Lan couldn't easily trust anyone, even Yuan Zhengqin, who was the magistrate, couldn't trust Chu Lan.

In contrast, Fan Chengxu is more trustworthy.

Because Fan Chengxu is considered a half-outsider, Chu Lan doesn't know what the plans of the Fan family behind him are, but Fan Chengxu himself is a different kind. When the two of them were studying together, he was a person who only thought about how to do business and make money all day long. .

Although Fan Chengxu studied and studied with many princes, he has never been close to any prince, and he does not want to be involved in any struggle, and he is not close to Chu Lan.

Once Chu Lan, Fan Chengxu and other princes who went to school together played Feihua Ling together, and each took a nickname. Qingyuan was Fan Chengxu's nickname at that time, and Zongyu was Chu Lan's nickname.

Therefore, Fan Chengxu not only recognized Chu Lan's handwriting, but also immediately confirmed that the person who wrote the letter was Chu Lan when he saw the signature Zong Yu.

Because the letter only mentioned the matter of borrowing money, Fan Chengxu kept silent after thinking about it, and only sent the bank note to him, and provided help within his ability.

As Chu Lan expected, Fan Chengxu did not inform anyone, including his powerful uncle.

After thinking for a while, Fan Chengxu took the box of jewelry.

"Caomin thank Your Highness for your kindness."

Fan Chengxu, who received the thank you gift, quietly waited for Chu Lan's question later.

He knew that if it was just to "repay the money", Chu Lan would not make the trip in person. Since he came, he must have other things.

But Chu Lan didn't mention it, and Fan Chengxu didn't take the initiative to ask.

After being silent for a while, Chu Lan asked, "Did you get any news about my attack this time?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness. I only know so much about your injury. Before I received your letter, I only knew that you were attacked and disappeared, and I didn't know anything else." Fan Chengxu immediately disassociated himself from it.

"As a local snake in Taizhou Prefecture, there should be many eyes and ears here." Chu Lan said.

"Although I've been in Taizhou Prefecture for some years, I've spent most of my time doing business, and I don't know much about other things." Fan Chengxu replied without leaking anything.

"Then who do you think might have killed me?" Chu Lan asked again.

He examined Fan Chengxu with his sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see some flaws in Fan Chengxu's body.

"Your Highness, since the matter is so serious, how dare I make wild guesses?" Fan Chengxu smiled, still leaking nothing.

"Then do you know that someone recently presented a suicide note written by Xu Guogong to the emperor, hoping to reverse the case for Xu Guogong." Chu Lan suddenly mentioned a name that no one dared to mention publicly for a long time.

"Xu Guogong's autographed suicide note? How could it be? Eighteen years have passed. The house of Xu Guogong was ransacked and turned upside down. How could there be a suicide note until now..."

Fan Chengxu showed a surprised expression.

Fan Chengxu said again: "Besides, eighteen years have passed, and all the people related to Xu Guogong's mansion are bones. Who else will reverse the case for Xu Guogong's mansion?"

"Don't forget, Empress Xu gave birth to a child in Jing'an Temple," Chu Lan said.

"Your Highness, stop joking. The Ninth Prince was buried on Longhuan Mountain in the west of the capital. The Emperor even built a Prince's Mausoleum just for him."

Only the Ninth Prince had this treatment, and the princes who had died before were also given this treatment, but none of them had this treatment.

"But the recent rumors are that he is still alive." Chu Lan said.

"It's unlikely..."

"Impossible, something has already happened." Chu Lan said.

"The grassroots don't know." Fan Chengxu could only smile apologetically.

Looking at Fan Chengxu's appearance, Chu Lan knew that she couldn't ask any questions.

Then he turned and left.

It wasn't until Chu Lan left that Fan Chengxu shook his fan helplessly and sighed: "It's really troublesome, I have hidden so far, how can trouble still find me here?"

He only cares about making money, if Chu Lan wants to pull him into the water, he will not jump down foolishly.

When he received Chu Lan's letter, he had no choice but to help, so he contributed money and effort.

###

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, the beginning of spring.

The weather is getting warmer, and the new year's farming will also start.

When Wei Ruo arrived at Zhuangzi, the people at Zhuangzi had already been busy all morning.

Manager Yu smiled and explained to Wei Ruo: "Last year, everyone was almost hungry and cold. This year, they are determined to farm well and have enough food. So when the temperature gets warmer, they start working. I've gone through it all, and I'm just waiting for your boss to speak."

"Improved and fertilized the land last year. This year, I will put in more effort to turn it into a paddy field. After two months, I will start making seedling fields to prepare for sowing seedlings. This year may still be colder than usual, so I planted earlier." Wei Wei If ordered.

Wei Ruo's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Fucheng is mainly divided into two parts. The original fertile land was 1,000 mu, and the newly purchased land with less fertile soil was almost 1,000 mu.

900 mu of the original 1,000 mu of fertile land were planted with her new wheat seeds, and they are growing well now. Last year's heavy snow didn't have a big impact on them, and they just need to wait for the harvest in April and May.

Another 100 mu of fertile land is planted with cold-resistant vegetables—rape, radish, cabbage, etc. Except for the days of heavy snow, some can be picked every day.

The more than 1,000 mu of land purchased later has been improving and fertilizing since last year, and it is almost ready now. After the land is turned over, leveled, and irrigated, it will be used for sowing rice.

"I was a little worried that the seedlings would not grow well if they were planted too early, and the temperature is not too high now," said Yu Guanshi.

"Don't worry, I will bring some good grain seeds over here, and you will plant them according to my instructions, and there will be no problem." Wei Ruo has a plan in mind.

"Okay." The boss is so sure, Yu Guanshi has no doubts.

After staying in Zhuangzi all morning, when I returned home in the afternoon, Cuiping came to invite me before my butt was hot.

"Miss, madam, please go over."

Wei Ruo wondered if Yun was annoyed at his running out again.

In the past few days, because Mr. Wang Caiwei has not returned to Taizhou, she has not gone to Tianqin Garden for class. It coincides with the beginning of spring, and Wei Ruo went to Zhuangzi to arrange matters when she was free.

Wei Ruo didn't ask any further questions, and followed Cuiping to Cangyun Garden.

After entering the door, Yun called Wei Ruo to sit beside him with a smile on his face.

"Why did mother find me?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It's like this. Last year your father was promoted and got some rewards. With the dowry for your mother, you can get together seven or eight hundred taels of silver. My mother wants to use this money to buy some more property in Fucheng."

The Yun family is also smart, and if they have money, they will buy property.

The Zhuangzi in Xingshan County is their home, which is definitely not enough.
