Chapter 45 The Famous Ms.
After the soil improvement was completed, Wei Ruo ordered Nanny Zhang, Agui and Xiaoba to level the land and store water.
After the land was prepared, Wei Ruo came to the wasteland in the south of the city again, and brought a large bag of rice seeds.
When Wei Ruo handed over a bag of rice seeds to Nanny Zhang and asked her and Agui Xiaoba to plant the seeds, Nanny Zhang showed a hesitant expression, and 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 this matter to the outside world, just plant it, and when the seedlings grow well, it will be more convincing to report."
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 Xiao Ba didn't think so much.
Agui said: "It's okay if the eldest lady says it's okay, we will listen to the eldest lady!"
Xiao Ba also said: "Yes, we can plant whatever the eldest lady tells us!"
Others are not important, anyway, the eldest lady treats them well, feeds them delicious food, fills their stomachs with 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 wastelands will be developed in the future. There will be more long-term workers at that time. We need you two who have already experienced teaching and teaching to improve the land. Experience to others. And the follow-up work of managing and leading these people will also be handed over to you.”
Wouldn't they become foremen in the future?
Agui and Xiaoba excitedly agreed: "Miss, don't worry, we will do it seriously!"
The two of them took the rice seeds and started working hard.
The process of sowing is not troublesome. When the seeds grow into seedlings, the workload of transplanting will be greater.
If the seedlings can grow smoothly, it means that Wei Ruo's soil improvement is more than half successful.
So now they only need to wait half a month to know whether Wei Ruo's soil improvement has any effect.
###
After tossing around in the fields for a few days, Wei Ruo just had a free day when he was called by Yun to talk again.
The content of the conversation was still a cliché. 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 been urged once, when Wei Ruo wants to delay this time, Yun has not given her a chance, and asked her to prepare, and it will be arranged for her in the next two days.
Seeing that the delay could no longer continue, Wei Ruo said nothing, and agreed to Yun's arrangement.
At night, 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 reading 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 lady, who is said to be the well-known Mr. Wang Caiwei."
Yun's eyes kept saying, "Really?"
Wang Caiwei is a well-known talented woman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She was born in a scholarly family with a deep family background.
Wang Caiwei, who lost her natal family’s backing, is still pursued by many princes from aristocratic families, but they are all concubines instead of being married by a clear matchmaker.
Wang Caiwei, who is full of pride, is naturally unwilling to be a concubine, and finally chooses to marry a poor scholar.
Because of the poor life, Wang Caiwei began to teach rich and noble families.
Although she is down and out, Wang Caiwei is famous and talented; there are countless people who want to invite her to be a female husband 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 now wants to arrange her to go to Xie's family to study with Miss Xie's family." Wei Qingwan lowered her head and whispered.
"Don't say that Mrs. Qian has such thoughts, if the Xie family invites Wang Caiwei, I have to find a way to let you go!" Yun said.
Although the current female gentlemen of Qian Zhixian's family are somewhat talented, they are only compared to ordinary people, and they are incomparable to the famous Wang Caiwei.
If you become a student of Wang Caiwei and return to the capital in the future, it will be enviable to say it!
Hearing this, Wei Yilin hurriedly said: "Mother, go and talk to Mrs. Xie's family, 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 house to listen to Mr. Wang's class.
"I'm afraid... the Xie family disagrees..." Yun muttered.
Their relationship with Xie's family is not deep, but they have only met a few times on things such as blessing cruises.
"Mom, why don't you help my sister ask, or we can send some more gifts to Xie's family!" Wei Yilin said innocently.
"Of course I will. As for giving gifts, it's not so easy. This gift has to be delivered to people's hearts. The Xie family may not like ordinary vulgar 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.
Sorry? Why is he sorry?
After drinking tea, Wei Ruo left the dining hall and walked to Tingsongyuan. Wei Yichen caught up and said to Wei Ruo about what happened just now: "Ruoer, I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?"
"We only mentioned the matter of letting Wanwan go to Xie's house to listen to Mr. Wang's class..."
"oh."
"Ruo'er, it's not that we didn't expect 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.
