Chapter 238 Praise from Madam Tongzhi
"The book that the eldest girl read is very useful. I asked the mother in the village to buy a new batch of rice seeds according to what the eldest girl said, and re-raise seedlings to make up for it. However, the nearby farmers did not listen to what the eldest girl told me. Now I The seedlings on the village are fine and green, but the farmers are in a panic, and the seedlings are falling down, turning yellow, and dying in patches, and the seedlings are almost impossible to grow!"
It took a lot of effort to change the seedlings, but the seedlings and the hope of this year were preserved, which is really worth it!
After listening to Mrs. Tongzhi's description, Yun's face first showed a surprised expression, and then a deep smile.
She was worried that something would go wrong in this matter, and she would cause trouble for Mrs. Tong Zhi, but she didn't expect Ruoer to have such a skill.
Seeing Mrs. Tongzhi's happy face, Yun's mood also improved.
Mrs. Tongzhi continued: "I also heard that many villages near Fucheng have suffered seedlings recently. They didn't listen to the eldest girl's advice to raise seedlings again. Now the seedlings are growing, turning yellow, withering and falling down. It's already mid-April, and I'm afraid it's too late to raise seedlings again."
The rice seeds planted in the Taizhou prefecture area are sown and raised earlier. The seeds are sown before the Ching Ming Festival, the seedlings are raised for 40 days, and the rice transplanting begins in late March of the lunar calendar.
Now it’s mid-April, so there’s still time to sow seeds and go through a 40-day seedling raising period?
Wen Yanyun was also surprised, because this year the eldest daughter helped purchase the rice seeds for their family, and now the rice seedlings in the field are growing well without any problems, so they don't know that such a thing will happen again.
So Yun asked, "Is the situation very bad?"
Tongzhi Furen said: "Those who didn't listen to the persuasion must have suffered. However, some people listened to the persuasion and planted new seedlings in advance. Now that there are problems with the old seedlings, there is still time to replace them."
Hearing these words, Mrs. Yun remembered the village she passed by when she went to Xu's farm that day. It seemed that her daughter had disputes with those farmers because of this matter.
In this way, those farmers who are angry with their daughters are now suffering.
Thinking about this, Yun doesn't sympathize with those farmers at all, her daughter refused to listen to her good words to persuade them, and now she can't blame anyone for her misfortune.
"So the eldest girl really helped me a lot!" Mrs. Tong Zhi once again praised Wei Ruo.
Hearing these words, Yun's heart was full of joy, and he hurriedly said modestly: "Ruo'er also made a mistake, and she is lucky to be able to help."
Wei Ruo came back from Tianqin Garden, just entered the gate, and was about to look back at the Meiyuan, when he was stopped by Cuiping, who was sent by the Yun family to wait for Wei Ruo.
Cuiping told Wei Ruo that Mrs. Tongzhi was here and asked to see her by name, and asked her to go to Cangyun Garden immediately.
Wei Ruo didn't say anything, and followed Cuiping to Cangyun Garden.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Mrs. Tong Zhi standing up to welcome her.
"Big girl." Mrs. Tongzhi called Wei Ruo with a gentle and kind face.
"Hello Madam Xu." Wei Ruo saluted slightly.
"Big girls don't need to be polite."
"The eldest girl just came back from school, so she must be tired. Would it be too tiring for you to come and accompany me?" Madam Tongzhi asked.
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Wei Ruo said, "I don't know why Madam is looking for me? Is it for the loquat paste?"
"The loquat paste is also one of the reasons. I dare not forget what my old lady told me. But there is another more important purpose of my trip, which is to thank the eldest girl for asking me to prepare new seedlings last month. matter." Tong Zhifu said.
Wei Ruo is not surprised by Mrs. Tongzhi's two purposes. The loquat cream I gave Mrs. Xu last time was almost finished, and the matter of rice seedlings has recently been fermented.
"Ma'am, don't worry, I just mentioned it, and I didn't do anything to worry about." Wei Ruo said.
"You can't say that. The big girl's mention is something that many people can't do. No one else can see the problem of the rice seedlings so quickly. Only the big girl has this ability. There will be people who will find the problem later, but everyone Later than the big girl, not as sharp-eyed as the big girl. The sooner this kind of thing is discovered, the better, it may be fatal within three to five days, not to mention that there are still many people who have been dying until the seedlings have died in these few days I just found out, and I really regret it."
Mrs. Tongzhi expressed emotion, and looked at Wei Ruo in the same way that a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye.
Wei Ruo could only smile and said, "It's good if we can catch up. It's just the beginning of the new year. If this incident delays the farming work for the next year, it won't be good for anyone."
"That's the reason! Everyone was worried about the bad year and the lack of food harvest last year. It's just the beginning of the new year. After such a toss, everyone's heart is going to die." Mrs. Tongzhi agreed very much.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Tong Zhi said: "I heard the princess say that the eldest girl is very knowledgeable about farming. At that time, I just heard it. Now I have seen it with my own eyes. I know that what Madam Yuan said is true. The eldest girl is really knowledgeable." Talented."
Wei Ruo was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Tongzhi's excessive enthusiasm.
"It's Mrs. Yuan's absurd praise. I only know superficially." Wei Ruo didn't dare to say how proficient he was.
Madam Tongzhi and Wei Ruo were talking eagerly, but Yun Shi was left aside.
But Mrs. Tongzhi and Wei Ruo couldn't get in on what Mrs. Tongzhi and Wei Ruo said, so they could only sit awkwardly aside and laugh together.
After talking with Mrs. Tongzhi for a while, Mrs. Tongzhi reluctantly left. Before leaving, she gave Wei Ruo some gifts, which were two brocade boxes, but Wei Ruo didn't open them on the spot.
As a gift in return, Wei Ruo gave her four jars of loquat paste and some orange peel tea.
This citrus peel tea is made by taking the dried citrus peels, salting them, and adding a few Chinese herbs. It can be used as tea to clear away heat and sore throat, and relieve throat discomfort.
Madam Tongzhi wanted to pay Wei Ruo money. Wei Ruodao today's loquat cream is a gift after receiving a gift from Madam Tongzhi.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Tongzhi, Yun said to Wei Ruo with a look of relief: "Ruoer, you have made meritorious service again, and just now you have handled the relationship with Mrs. Tongzhi very well."
Wei Ruo said calmly: "I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back to the house first."
Obviously Wei Ruo didn't want to say anything more to Yun.
Now Wei Ruo is more straightforward than when he first came to Xiaowei's Mansion, and his attitude towards Yun is more and more indifferent.
My family members are suffering from yang, and the high fever persists. I should not be able to escape, and I feel a little flustered during pregnancy.
The treasures also need to work hard, those who are not positive work hard to advance to the finals; those who are positive, let's cheer together.
