Chapter 194: Niang Niang Runs a Farm in the Harem (14)
Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei are very close to each other, and they can see what they do with each other, and the two of them don't deal with each other very much on weekdays, and they want to ridicule each other a few words when they see each other, but they don't care so much at the moment, they only care about digging the ground.
For a woman who has been raised in a deep boudoir all year round, farming is a physical job, and it is difficult.
They have been trained to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and various etiquette since childhood, and they don't know how to grow vegetables at all.
Yun Ran ordered that he must plant it himself, and he couldn't let anyone help, so he had to dig the ground with all his strength.
"Concubine Mei, you have to break up all these clods, and you have to pick out the stones, or the slaves will come?"
"No, look over there, you can't lose to her."
"Concubine Lu, it seems that you can just sprinkle the seeds directly, or do you want to go to Concubine Li and ask?"
"Go quickly, you must remember to be clear, and you will break your leg if you are wrong."
Not only did Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei not know how to grow vegetables, but the palace people waiting around them were not so clear, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that they would be punished if they couldn't grow them.
After the people on both sides begged Concubine Li, Concubine Li didn't hide it, and felt that they could form an alliance, so she warmly invited Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei to study with her. got a reply and heard that Concubine Li was planting vegetables, and the two of them went over to observe without saying a word.
Concubine Li has already grown a batch of vegetables, and she has been praised by the queen, which is swelling, holding her head high to guide the two people.
And then......
There was such a strange picture in the courtyard.
I saw Concubine Li digging out a piece of land with a shovel, leveling it, watering and scattering seeds, stopping at every step to patiently explain the precautions, and the two exquisitely dressed girls around her listened carefully, nodding obediently from time to time.
Behind them, there are also many palace people, holding notebooks and recording carefully, and the learning atmosphere can be described as very strong.
In this way, the afternoon passed, and after the end of the day, Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei expressed their gratitude one after another, and decided to go back and plant some while it was not dark, and strive for the vegetables to grow as soon as possible.
Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei, who have never dealt with each other, did not quarrel for a whole afternoon.
When Yun Ran got the news, it was already completely dark outside, and she was stunned for a long time after listening to Yu'er tell her, she just rewarded Concubine Li with a few small things because she was in a good mood today, and she actually had an unexpected gain.
"Niangniang, I didn't expect them to be so serious, it's rare that they didn't quarrel, you are so powerful."
Yu'er naturally thought that this was her master's calculation, and admired Yun Ran so much that she threw herself to the ground.
She heard that the first queen had a special headache with Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei before, and she had to mediate for the two of them from time to time, but her master let them stop fighting with one move.
Yun Ran thought of another point, if all the women in the harem started farming, wouldn't they have the heart to compete for favor?
"Order someone to keep an eye on it, if Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei's dishes grow, notify the palace immediately."
"Yes, the slave will order someone to keep an eye on it."
Yun Ran originally wanted to use planting vegetables to pass the time, but he didn't expect to find a way to complete the task, so he had to work harder!
………………
In the imperial study, Chu Kuo also got the news, and was surprised when he heard that Yun Ran had rewarded Concubine Li.
"The queen's trick is really high, even Concubine Lu and Concubine Mei are not making trouble."
Chu Kuo nodded, and it happened that Qin Yi entered the palace, so he said to him: "I think the queen is actually very good......
