After Jiang Qingliu left, everyone in the Wang family returned to their previous lives, but it seemed that everyone was busier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen takes care of the housework at home, and from time to time he has to prepare meals for the long-term workers, and sew winter clothes for the children when he has free time, so as not to wait for the cold weather to be too late to prepare.

After receiving the two boxes of books sent by Jiang Qingliu, Wang Mu regarded them as treasures, and continued to read every day, and he also took Wang Shi to enlightenment. Whenever he raised his head and saw his younger brother holding a book or wandering or dozing off, he would cough and remind him, and after a long time, his throat would hurt a little, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful when he looked at his younger brother's eyes.

Wang Tang followed Chen in front of the house and behind the house every day, carrying the vegetable basket and handing over pots, bowls and chopsticks. On the other hand, there are words in the small mouth: "Tang'er must be diligent, Tang'er must work, and Tang'er must learn to make good food!" ”

And Wang Jin's whole heart was on the more than 100 acres of cotton land that had already produced cotton bolls, and he was busy holding meetings to show the tenants how to use plant ash and boiling water with pepper to control aphids, and explaining how to top and prune to his own workers.

On this day, Wang Jin led the long-term workers to top the last row of cotton in their house and trim the branches, and then stretched out for a long time, looking at the cotton that was growing vigorously, and his heart was indescribably satisfied. She and the workers went back to drink some herbal tea under the tree and sat on the ground to take a break.

"Big niece," Uncle Xu fanned the wind with his hat, looked at the branches and leaves that had been pinched off in the ditch and still had cotton buds, and asked with some pity and puzzlement, "Is this possible?" ”

Not only him, but also the other long-term workers did not understand why Wang Jian had arranged it this way. The bolt on the side also said: "Yes, Sister Jin, I heard from the elders in the village that when they planted cotton, the front was fine." The flowers bloom well, and the cotton bolls bear a lot. But the more it drops later, the more it falls, and the production will be so small. We've pinched so many good bells, this..."

Wang Jin knew that they were holding back this question every day, and they were finally free today, so they naturally wanted to ask for clarification. And she was ready to speak.

"Actually, I have studied the situation of cotton growing here before, and it is also the problem that the plug said. Later, I thought about it carefully and felt that there were two main reasons. One is the most important insect pest, and the other is that the cotton bolls are too dense, and the fertility can't keep up, and they fall off when they can't grow to spit out. Seeing the thoughtful nods of the crowd, she continued, "So this time, I will mainly start with these two aspects. Not only to prevent insects and insects, but also to let everyone select cottonseeds, fertilize in advance, and supplement fertilizer from time to time in the middle, so that after improvement, it is not a problem to produce 200 catties of cotton per mu. As for this topping pruning..."She frowned and thought for a moment, "Actually, I was thinking if I could learn to prune the flowers and trees to cut off the excess branches and leaves, prune the side branches, and then remove the top center." It's like a tea tree that has to remove the heart of the leaf, but it can grow better! ”

When the long-term workers heard this, they realized that this was Wang Jin's experiment, and she was not completely sure, so she couldn't help but look at each other.

"Big niece, what if it doesn't work?" Uncle Xu asked cautiously. The people around him also showed worried expressions.

"Isn't there still the rented land?" Wang Jin smiled and comforted everyone, "Although the yield of 200 catties per mu is considered a high yield, I think it can be higher." I experimented on my own sandy land, but I didn't plan to move the rented field, also to be on the safe side. Also, I don't plan to disclose these technologies for the time being. Seeing that everyone looked a little confused, she continued, "We have been busy here for so many days, and it is difficult to ensure that someone comes to see it and go back to learn it." However, my technology is not mature, and it may even fail, so please keep it a secret from your uncles for the time being, and we will disclose it again when we have the opportunity in the future. ”

In fact, Wang Jian said this on the first day when he made the charter, and he specially advised him at this moment, and everyone naturally understood. If someone really learns it, but something goes wrong again, it's also a matter of trouble.

Since it is an experiment, it is natural to observe the effect carefully. In the following days, the long-term workers took care of it more carefully, and simply remembered the changes on each cotton plant, so they were also pleasantly surprised to find that so far there were very few cotton bolls that had been plagued by aphids, and after the cotton plants were pruned, more cotton branches were drawn on the side, and some had begun to bloom, and the growth was becoming more and more vigorous. Wang Hibiscus asked them to spray the ashes with water a few more times, which was both insect control and fertilization.

After lunch that day, Wang Jian finally had time to lie on the bamboo chair in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, planning to give herself a vacation. Not... Be sure to sleep in tomorrow! I still have to eat a meal to make up for it, I'm still growing my body, if I don't develop well, but I will regret it for the rest of my life! Still... However, before Wang Jin's dream was finished, Wang Tang, who was still playing farming at the front door, ran in with his calves and shouted: "Sister, sister, someone is looking for you outside the door!" ”

Wang Jin came back to his senses, hugged Wang Tang who rushed over, and asked in surprise, "Looking for me?" Who? ”

"It's a well-dressed young lady, and she came in a carriage!" Wang Tang said with big eyes.

Wang Jin's mind suddenly flashed to the two young ladies he met in Cyclamen more than two months ago, and he thought to himself, could he really have come to the door? She stood up, took Wang Tang's hand and said, "Then Tang'er and my sister will take a look." ”

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw a carriage parked outside, and a maid wearing a lake-green gauze skirt stood next to it.

When the maid saw Wang Hibiscus, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward and saluted: "Miss Wang, I am Miss Ruanfu's personal maid, Han Lian, and I have had a relationship with you in the cyclamen before, I don't know if you remember?" ”

Wang Jian suddenly remembered, no wonder he looked a little familiar. "Of course I do! Not... Sister Ruan, how is she lately? ”

Han Lian smiled and said, "Miss is good at everything, but she is often bored, and I want to hear you tell jokes and guess riddles!" ”

"With her lively temperament, she is detained in the deep boudoir, and if she doesn't go out of the door, she must be bored." Wang Jin understood deeply, and then thought of something, and asked with a smile, "Then your young lady sent you here today to ask me to chat with her to relieve her boredom?" ”

When Han Lian heard this, she said a little embarrassedly: "Yes and no." Seeing Wang Jin's puzzled expression, she took out a plain note from her sleeve and handed it to Wang Jin.

"The day after tomorrow, listen to the wind building?" Wang Jian swept the contents of the letterhead and asked curiously, "Who else is going?" ”

"The eldest lady of Lin Tongzhi's family, the second lady of Wu Shoubei's family, and a cousin of the Li family of Tongli Qianzhuang."

Wang Jin knew that the eldest lady of Lin Tongzhi's family was Lin Zhixiu, and the other two had only heard of her name but had not seen her.

"Why is there no young lady from the prefect's house?" She wondered.

"Miss Chen went to Jinling Province some time ago, not in Yangzhou." Han Lian said.

Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, after the last incident, she hadn't figured out how to face Chen Huilan, and it would be best if she could avoid meeting.

"I accepted this invitation, and I will definitely go on time the day after tomorrow." Wang Jian put away the letterhead and said with a smile.

"The day after tomorrow, we will arrange a carriage to come and pick you up, so please wait patiently at home for a while." Han Lian said again.

Wang Jian nodded, suddenly patted his head and said, "We have been talking here for a long time, and we forgot to invite the girl to come into the house and sit, come and have a cup of tea." ”

Han Lian hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, Miss is still waiting for me to reply at home, Miss is going to be in a hurry when I go back late!" She bowed down and said, "Miss Wang, I say goodbye, and I will greet the girl in Tingfeng Tower the day after tomorrow." ”

Wang Jin was not reluctant and returned the salute. watched Han Lian get into the carriage and go away.

Hey, I can't get a good rest again!
