Chapter 137: The Suburbs

The morning sun is shining brightly, shining on the land of the capital. The capital, which had been asleep for a day, ushered in the beginning of a new day in the rising sun in the morning. The curling smoke, the rising sun, the street vendors, the old and young women and children who go to work in the fields, this is an incomparably peaceful and warm picture.

The sky was very clear, and the blue sky was sprinkled with a few white clouds, like flowers dotted with blue silk cloth, which was very beautiful. The breeze is gentle, with a little hot and humid temperature, and it doesn't feel dry on your face.

Ran Mansion also ushered in a new day of its own in such tranquility, the people began a new day of busyness, sweeping the yard, carrying water, chopping wood, life and cooking, the maids began to be busy washing the masters, and the young ladies and sons were busy preparing for the new day's homework.

Ran An has been resting for two days, and when she says she is resting, she is actually busier than she usually goes out. Just talked with Ran Linzong all night, and before he had time to catch up on a good night's sleep, Du Yuexian came to visit. It would be polite to say that it was a visit, but the real thing might as well be called breaking in. It doesn't matter if Ran An is willing or not, let alone whether he is sleepy or not, as long as she Du Yuexian wants to come, no one can stop her.

A polite greeting always seems so rusty and embarrassing between the two of them, but behind the politeness is Du Yuexian's real purpose. Ran An felt very strange in his heart, it had been more than half a year, why was this lady's problem still the same as half a year ago? Hasn't there been any growth in such a long time? However, it is not surprising that since Ran An assisted Ran Linzong in taking care of the affairs of the mansion, Du Yuexian's problem basically did not have much breakthrough. It's nothing more than what Ran Linzong has been busy with lately? What's the plan? What are the new initiatives of Ningfeng Cloth Company? Also, how is the master's private life recently? Who did you meet? What was said? Asked a question about what? Are there any unusual words and actions?

Of course, the most asked questions about the latter are Fuzi, who asked him to be in charge of Ran Linzong's daily life? But Ran An came back, and he was not spared, although he didn't know anything about these questions, it didn't affect Du Yuexian's body temperature at all.

When the repetition like Xianglin's sister-in-law was over, Du Yuexian didn't forget to tell him at the end of the sentence, and the implication in his words was that Ran Linzong was already a little older, and the affairs of the house should not be too much for him to worry about. She is also the lady of this mansion, the people must know the current affairs, and her wife in the mansion is not a decoration, Ran An had better inform her of anything else, so as not to overwork the master.

For these, Ran An always behaved very obediently, listened respectfully, and only responded, as for whether it really had to be done according to Du Yuexian's words, the result was obvious, if Ran An really had to be as obedient as he showed, she Du Yuexian would not have kicked the door again and again, and returned again and again in vain.

Du Yuexian left Ran An's room again with disappointment, the twisting waist was no different from half a year ago, but what made Ran An puzzling was that this woman had only worked this face, why didn't she make up for her brain by the way!

It's been this method for so many years, and I don't know if it's changed, and I've been enjoying it for so long. Who doesn't know her actual status in Ran Mansion, not to mention that Ran Linzong is still physically tough, she is at the age of the day, even if she is really terminally ill one day, then it will definitely not be this woman who can be in charge of Ran Mansion!

It's a pity that everyone in the house understands that only this woman can't see clearly! But it's also true, don't blame Du Yuexian for being confused, after all, she is the only genuine wife of Ran Linzong, and for so many years, even if the husband and wife of Ran Linzong and Du Yuexian have existed in name only, there is no information to prove that Ran Linzong has the intention of divorce his wife.

Du Yuexian is okay, and the disturbance is only for that once, but for the two little guys Ran Ling'er and Ran Haocheng, Ran Anke is a little overwhelmed, and it is okay to play crazy together, and always regardless of time and place, sometimes don't go to the school!

The people at home have to be taken care of, and the friends they have made have to socialize, so that you come and go, and Ran An has never had a good rest. After a few days, not only did I not get relaxed, but it was busier than when I went out. But these are not difficult for Ran An, after all, relying on his young age, he will be satisfied with finding a free time for a while.

Today's rare good weather, but also a rare Ran An slept a good night, while the house is not busy, many things have not been completely unfolded, he decided to go to the suburbs for a walk, shopping, after all, his heart is still thinking about his mulberry seeds, looking forward to one day, Ning Feng Buxing can cultivate silkworm babies who can spit out five-colored silk.

It's summer now, and the harvest of the year is imminent, and the countryside is full of joy of imminent harvest. The rice paddies on both sides of the path have grown waist-length rice, and the fragrance of rice flows in all directions with the gentle breeze, mixed with the aroma of wheat, permeating this endless field.

Occasionally, the rough singing voices of farmers resounded in the vast fields, the chatting of women working, and the noisy sounds of children playing were intertwined, bringing a different kind of prosperity and adding a lot of vitality to this gratifying scene.

Ran An shuttled through this strange place, he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at the scene in front of him, when he left half a year ago, this field was still barren, and now there is a scene of a bumper harvest imminent, it seems that this year must be a bumper harvest year.

Diagonally out of the rice field to the west is a mulberry forest, and from a distance, the mixed mulberry trees have formed a sea of green. This is the famous mulberry forest in the capital, and it is also the place where mulberry trees are planted most intensively. It is said that at the beginning, it was only because there were a few mulberry trees that grew very well, but later everyone felt that it was very suitable for the growth of mulberry trees here, so everyone came here in groups of three or three, three or five, and everyone came here to start planting mulberry trees, so that today's scale was formed.

Here is Zhang San's family, marked with red rope, there is Li Si's family, fenced off, there is Wang Wu's family, only some paint is smeared on the book, and some are diluted a lot because of the long time. But even if no one marked it, everyone remembered how many mulberry trees they had planted and which ones they owned. The people here have such a simple and beautiful style, which has been passed down from generation to generation, so that later they are conformist.

The mulberry trees of Ningfeng cloth are also in this area, because there are many trees, the area is very large, and many people in the capital also call this place Ningfeng Mulberry Forest.

Before leaving, Ran An often came here to see the growth of mulberry trees, understand the market of mulberry fields, and go to his own silkworm breeding field to have a look. Because of Ran An's dedication, there are few accidents here, even if there are insect plagues and droughts, Ran An will lead everyone to solve difficulties together and minimize losses.

The two leaders of the Ran family who are responsible for guarding the mulberry forest are the old deaf man and the old blind man, as the name suggests, one of the two people is deaf and the other is not very easy to use, it stands to reason that these two people really do not meet the requirements of the guards, but the old man Ran of Ning Fengbu is so ingenious, he sent such two people to be the person in charge here, and they are all young and strong young men who are under them. I thought that many people would be unconvinced, but in the past few years, not only did the Ran family's mulberry forest not have any problems, but even those young and strong subordinates did not have any dissatisfaction with the old deaf man and the old blind man. This has to admire Ran Linzong's knowledge and good use.

Maybe some people still think that these two physically handicapped people are inextricably linked with Ran Linzong, and those who know the details will tell you clearly that Ran Linzong has never been nepotistic, even for the Du family, he will give as much money as possible, as for business, he still treats everyone equally, but if there is something that is not done well, Ran Linzong does not show favoritism, and even Du Guangyao is a little afraid!

The Sang Lin of the Ran family has been safe and secure for so many years, not only because of the management of the two disabled old people, but more importantly, because of the prestige and conduct of Ran Linzong in the capital. There is a saying in the capital that even if the Ran family's mulberry forest is not cared for, it will definitely not lose a penny. This sentence is indeed not exaggerated, Master Ran is generous, kind-hearted, and generous. Whenever a silkworm farmer encounters any difficulties, as long as he talks to him, the mulberry leaves of his mulberry forest can be picked at will, and he does not charge a penny, and he is also responsible for door-to-door delivery service when it is convenient for his subordinates! In such an act of benevolence and righteousness, who is not open-eyed, who can bear to steal or even harm his family's mulberry forest?

The answer, of course, is none!

Ran An walked around the mulberry forest of Ning Fengbu for most of the time, and several subordinates came forward to say hello when they saw that the young master had come to visit in person. Ran An greeted them warmly, but he didn't want to stay here for long, after all, he had other things to do here. He had long been interested in a piece of land, which was backed by mountains and water, with plenty of sunshine and fertile soil, but because of the small size of the area, and because of the crooked river, many people automatically left it empty when planting trees, and another reason was that it was far away from the path, and it took a long time to walk, so many people automatically abandoned it.

Ran An had known about that piece of land for a long time, and he had been thinking about that piece of land when he took other people's seeds.

Today he's going there. Ran An asked a subordinate for a hoe in the mulberry forest, and took away a straw hat from a subordinate person, and after being armed, he walked towards the ideal resort with the seeds of hope.

Ran An was in a very good mood along the way, thinking that he had just met the old deaf man, but because his old man happened to have his back to Ran An, he didn't greet him. happened to run into the old blind man again, just because he was talking to a subordinate at the time, Ran An had to pass by in such a hurry. However, although he has been away for more than half a year, it seems that the temper of these two old men has not changed at all, especially the old blind man, the tone of reprimand is still so sonorous and powerful!
