Blessed Daughter

After the soil improvement was finished, Wei Ruo ordered Nanny Zhang, Agui and Xiaoba to level the land and store water.

After the land was cleared, Wei Ruo came to the wasteland in the south of the city again, and brought a large bag of rice seeds with him.

When Wei Ruo handed over a bag of rice seeds to Nanny Zhang and asked her and Agui Xiaoba to sow the seeds, Nanny Zhang showed a hesitant expression, after thinking about it, she tried to persuade Wei Ruo again:

"Miss, forgive me for asking too much, is it really okay to grow rice at this time? How about we change to other crops? Anyway, as long as it can be grown alive, other crops are also fine."

"Just plant this. Don't worry, this rice seed is a late rice seed. I brought it back from Huzhou Prefecture. Someone has already planted it there. The planting is just right at this time, and it won't fail." Wei Ruo was firm. , and with confidence.

"Really? There are such grains?" Nanny Zhang looked surprised.

"It's true. But don't spread the word about it to the outside world. Just plant it. When the seedlings grow well, report it to be more convincing."

If this had been said before, Nanny Zhang would never have believed it, but now the situation is a little different, she has a little more trust in Wei Ruo, although she still feels that some of Missy's ideas are too wild, they are those kinds of things The old farmers who lived in the field would not agree with their young lady's ideas.

Agui and Xiaoba didn't think too much about it.

Ah Gui said: "It's fine if the eldest lady says yes, we will listen to the eldest lady!"

Xiao Ba also said: "Yes, we can plant whatever the eldest lady tells us!"

The others are not important, anyway, the eldest lady treats them well, feeds them delicious food, fills their stomachs and their families, and just follow the eldest lady!

Wei Ruo told the two of them: "You should study hard and remember well. After this land is successfully built, other wasteland will be developed in the future. There will be more long-term workers at that time. We need you two who already have experience to teach and pass on the experience of improving the land. to other people. And the follow-up work of managing and leading these people will also be handed over to you.”

Doesn't that mean they will become foremen in the future?

Agui and Xiaoba excitedly agreed: "Miss, don't worry, we will do it seriously!"

The two took the rice seeds and began to work hard.

The sowing process is not troublesome. When the seeds grow into seedlings, the workload of transplanting is even greater.

If it can grow into seedlings smoothly, it means that Wei Ruo's soil improvement is more than half successful.

So now they only need to wait for half a month to know whether Wei Ruo's soil improvement has any effect.

###

After Wei Ruo had been tossing around in the fields for a few days, when he had a free day, he was called by Yun to talk again.

The content of the conversation was still a cliché, and Wei Ruo was asked to arrange the affairs of the wasteland in the south of the city to his subordinates as soon as possible, while he himself went to school in the magistrate's mansion.

Because it has already been urged once, when Wei Ruo wanted to delay this time, the Yun family no longer gave her a chance, and asked her to prepare, and it would be arranged for her in the next two days.

Seeing that the delay couldn't go on, Wei Ruo didn't say anything, and agreed to Yun's arrangement.

In the evening, Wei Ruo went to the dining hall to have dinner with everyone.

After dinner, everyone still sat together drinking tea and chatting.

Wei Yichen also reported some of his study progress to his mother as usual, and Wei Yilin will also talk to Yun about what happened in the school.

Wei Qingwan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but today she hesitated to mention something: "Mother, the Xie family invited a female gentleman, it is said that she is the famous Mr. Wang Caiwei."

Yun's eyes kept saying, "Really?"

Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin also showed expressions of surprise.

Wang Caiwei is a well-known talented woman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She was born in a scholarly family with a deep family background, but it is a pity that her family is in decline.

Without the backing of her natal family, Wang Caiwei is still pursued by many princes from aristocratic families, but they are all concubines instead of being married by a clear matchmaker.

The arrogant Wang Caiwei was naturally unwilling to be a concubine, and finally chose to marry a poor scholar.

Because of the poor life, Wang Caiwei began to teach for wealthy families.

Although she is down and out, Wang Caiwei is well-known and talented; there are countless people who want to invite her to be a lady at home.

It is said that Wang Caiwei's previous employer was the Ruan family in Qiantang, and the late old man of the Ruan family was the chief assistant who took office!

And now, the Xie family in the north of the city has invited her!

It seems that the rise of the Xie family is not groundless, and various signs have been revealed.

"Well, it's true, Zhilan told me." Wei Qingwan replied affirmatively, "Zhilan also said..."

"What else did she say?"

"Zhilan said that her mother wants to arrange for her to go to Xie's house to study with Miss Xie's family." Wei Qingwan lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Don't say that Mrs. Qian has such thoughts, if the Xie family invites Wang Caiwei, I have to think of a way to let you go!" Yun said.

Although the current female gentlemen of Qianzhi County's family are also talented, they are only compared to ordinary people, and they are incomparable to the famous Wang Caiwei.

If you become Wang Caiwei's student and return to the capital in the future, it will be enviable to say it!

Hearing this, Wei Yilin hurriedly said: "Mother, go talk to Mrs. Xie's family and let my sister go! My sister is very talented and talented, that female gentleman will like to teach my sister!"

Wei Qingwan also looked at Yunshi expectantly, hoping that Yunshi would help her to talk to Xie's family and arrange for herself to go to Xie's family to attend Mr. Wang's class.

"I'm afraid...the Xie family won't agree..." Yun muttered.

They didn't have a deep friendship with Xie's family, they just met a few times on things like blessing cruises.

"Mom, why don't you ask my sister, or we can give Xie's family more gifts!" Wei Yilin said innocently.

"Of course I would ask. As for gift giving, it's not so easy. The gift has to be delivered to people's hearts. The Xie family may not like ordinary things." Yun's thoughts turned back and forth.

There were five people in a room, and all four of them were thinking about how to get Xie's family to agree to Wei Qingwan's going to Xie's house for class. Only Wei Ruo sat beside him, sipping tea calmly.

When she put down the teacup, Wei Yichen suddenly turned to look at her.

Looking at each other, Wei Ruo saw an apology in Wei Yichen's eyes.

apology? Why is he sorry?

After drinking tea, Wei Ruo left the dining hall and went to Tingsongyuan. Wei Yichen chased after him, and said to Wei Ruo about what happened just now: "Ruoer, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"We only mentioned that Wanwan went to Xie's house to listen to Mr. Wang's class..."

"oh."

"Ruo'er, it's not that we didn't think of you, it's just that Mr. Wang's requirements for students are definitely higher than those of ordinary gentlemen..."

"I'm not qualified, right?" Wei Ruo helped him finish what he hadn't said.
