Chapter 212: Yu Wei

"Siju likes farming, doesn't he? Are you also looking forward to growing all kinds of things, food, herbs, flowers, everything, don't you? ”

While a few people walked into the house, Ruan Yunsi talked to Ruan Siju very seriously, seeing that his eyes were full of excitement and nodded vigorously, she smiled and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Daddy expects you to study and improve, thinking that everything is inferior only to high reading, but I believe that three hundred and sixty lines of practice will be the champion." (Every day Chinese.) [.360118 point] Cheng, since you like it, just let it go, what do you need, just come and tell your sister, but if you can support you, your sister will definitely support you. Well, I see that your backyard is not small, but it is a little desolate, why don't you find a few family members to help you open a few gardens one day, and let you try to grow those things? ”

"Sister, do you mean it really? You...... Are you really willing to open a garden for me and plant things? ”

Ruan Siju's eyes were almost out of his sockets, and he looked at Ruan Yunsi in disbelief, no wonder he was shocked, this second master because of this strange hobby, it can be said that he is in the whole house, and no one is looking at him, and now he suddenly meets Ruan Yunsi, not only does he not scold him and discipline him, but also supports him and opens a garden for him, how can this not surprise him?

"Yes, not only will I open the garden, but my sister will buy you some seeds. But ah, don't look at planting the land as a simple matter, it seems that the seeds are thrown down in the spring, and the harvest in the autumn can be done. But there is also a lot of knowledge in this, what kind of soil is suitable for planting, and what is not suitable for planting; Which crop needs more watering to grow faster? Which one must not be watered more, otherwise it will be waterlogged; And all year round. How to farm the land to make the most of a few gardens is all knowledge. Do you know? In the south, some peasants have a good grasp of the fact that one crop can be planted in one field, that is, after harvesting one crop, they will quickly plant the next crop......

Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Siju said loudly, "Ah." I know this, that's rice, right? I used to listen to those tenants in the grange when they chatted, saying that rice ripens the fastest, and that there are capable people in the south who plant three crops a year, which is equivalent to if others harvest 200 catties of grain a year, they can harvest 600 catties, which is a very profitable good thing. ”

Ruan Yunsi looked at Ruan Siju in surprise, she didn't expect this kid to be able to remember the chats of several tenants until now. Her heart suddenly moved, wouldn't she secretly say? Could it be that my brother is an agricultural genius? Oh my God, I can't imagine it.

Because of Ruan Siju's high mood. She struck while the iron was hot and encouraged: "That's right, but this way." It also has to go through many people's research and experiments before it can be promoted. So, don't underestimate farming, you want to plant it well. But it also requires a lot of knowledge. There are so many peasants in the whole world, and some of them have been facing the loess with their backs to the sky all their lives, and they can barely get food and clothing. Some people can easily become rich, so ah. There is a house of gold in the book, which is not false. If Siju is really interested in this, my sister will help you find a book to read. When the time comes, I will take you to the countryside and communicate with those experienced old farmers, well, maybe by then, although our Ruan family will have one less Jinshi, we will be able to have one more university scholar in agriculture. ”

Ruan Siju's excited little face flushed, nodded vigorously, and said excitedly: "I have always heard people say since I was a child that the people take food as the sky. I thought, since eating is essential for everyone, it's also very important. What is the use of reading? is full of knowledge, but you can gain a reputation as a talent, but can you eat this reputation? I just love farming, and I want to grow a lot of food so that everyone in the world doesn't go hungry. Once there is a need to fight, the emperor can easily collect a lot of military rations, so that our soldiers can eat enough to fight those tartars. ”

Ruan Yunsi nodded, touched Ruan Siju's head and said: "Daddy is wrong about Siju, everyone in this house has mistaken you, our Siju is a good boy with the world in mind and great ambitions, not inferior to your eldest brother at all, or even much stronger than him." You can rest assured that your sister will support you and enable you to fulfill your wishes. ”

Ruan Siju was praised for the first time that he was a good boy with great ambitions in the world, and only people scolded him for not doing his job, so his excited little face turned red. Xiuhong, the maid who served him, couldn't help but burst into tears on the side, covered her face and cried bitterly: "How many years have the slave maid served the second master since he was a child, I haven't seen him so happy, woo woo...... Three Girls...... Slaves...... I don't know how to thank you......"

Ruan Yunsi stood up and said with a smile: "In the future, when you see him happy, I am afraid that he will pester, you will be annoyed, okay, wipe your tears, go find a new set of clothes for Siju to change, you also change a set of clothes, Aunt Huang is on her birthday today, our house has been like a tight string these days, so I deliberately took this opportunity to let the big guy relax and relax, and you can also accompany Siju to the banquet." ”

Ruan Siju twisted his body and whispered, "Sister, I don't want to go, those people's eyes are uncomfortable." ”

Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "You want to be a university scholar in agriculture, you can't even stand this little vision, what great achievements can you talk about?" Let's go, follow behind my sister, whoever likes to watch it, you take the opportunity to eat more, grow taller, and make your body healthy and strong is the most important. Otherwise, farming is a manual job, and you have the same body as a little chicken, you can't even carry a hoe, and you still farm. ”

Ruan Siju heard his sister say this, and immediately agreed, Xiuhong was busy looking for new clothes for him, these years, because this child likes to play with mud, and the two of them are not very happy, so Xiuhong is very economical, a few years ago the new clothes are reluctant to wear, and now her blue satin tooth pinching vest is also patched.

Ruan Yunsi saw that the clothes she took out were all outdated styles and brocades, but fortunately, the workmanship was very exquisite, so she asked with a smile: "You did all this?" Seeing Xiuhong nodding, she bowed her head and said: "The craftsmanship is a good craftsmanship, but it's a pity that the fabric is too ordinary, and this hard work has been wasted." Anyway, tomorrow I'll have someone come and clean up this Siguo Pavilion, and give you a few brocades and make a few sets of clothes. ”

Xiuhong hurriedly said in a panic: "No, no, the second master always goes to fiddle with mud, and it's a pity to wear brocade clothes...... Before she finished speaking, she heard Ruan Yunsi say: "Naturally, you can't wear brocade to fiddle with those, I will also send a few Gebu linen cloth over, and you will cut it for him when the time comes." How much do you two make a month now? Is it enough to live? What is the pattern of the food served in the kitchen? I see that Siju is very thin, so it can be seen that he doesn't eat anything good on weekdays. ”

Seeing that Xiuhong was still a little hesitant, Fangcao smiled and said: "Don't think about it, our three girls are now entrusted by the prince to take care of this back house, if you have any grievances, just tell her." It's true that I just said that I will send you satin cloth, the third girl is amazing, and she runs a big weaving and dyeing factory......"

Ruan Yunsi glanced at Fangcao angrily, nodded a finger on her forehead and said, "You just brag, what kind of big weaving and dyeing factory?" While looking back, listening to Xiuhong hesitantly say the amount of monthly money and the meals she eats every day, she frowned and said: "It's not like to talk a little, how can you say that Siju is also a master, such an example, even the mother-in-law who serves in the wife's room is not as good, I really don't know what they think." Okay, I'll go back and tell them today, from now on, the example on the second master's side will be compared to the eldest brother's ......"

As she spoke, Ruan Siju and Xiuhong had already changed their clothes, Ruan Yunsi asked him to wash his little face again, and combed his hair herself.

I saw that the courtyard was originally a little deserted, and it was already very lively at this time, Aunt Huang was originally just the daughter of the Eighth Rank Zhaomo of the Criminal Department, although the family was small, but there were also a few sisters, and they were also invited over today, Aunt Hong, Aunt Yun and others were also there, and their subordinates naturally gathered here, but I didn't expect that even Mrs. Tong appeared later.

Looking at Mrs. Hou and the seventh girl, who had not shown up for more than a month, everyone had a strange feeling in their hearts, but under the authority of the other party, no one dared to show the slightest disdain and ridicule towards them. It is very different from the faces of several aunts who spit on this fateful life in front of the old marquis and Ruan Yunsi that day.

Mrs. Tong knew very well in her heart that she had caused the big disaster that day, and it was already a blessing that she was not kicked out of the mansion, which means that the old marquis had a stroke and couldn't move and speak, otherwise where would he still have his own foothold? Now that I want to reintegrate into the circle of the back house in the house, this cheek must be let out.

Fortunately, Ruan Yunsi is also a woman who made a big mistake before, this time, even if she can't drive her away and regain the power of the family, at least she must share the power of the family with the other party, and she must not let it fall smoothly into the hands of the woman who is destined to not marry and the Gu family.

It's just that this matter is also difficult to say, so she did not hesitate to bribe Aunt Hong with the best jade bracelet she loved as much as her life, she knew that she was unpopular in the back house, and she had to find an ally. Fortunately, Ruan Yunsi ran away from marriage back then, and in the eyes of everyone, she was shameless, and she was no better than herself, but now that she has allies, she is fighting alone, so this untraceable power struggle is very beneficial to herself.

Mrs. Tong changed her normal way to talk to several aunts kindly, and at the same time snapped her wishful thinking in her heart, seeing Gu and Aunt Liu coming over, and seeing her, they were very surprised, and they forgot to move for a while, Mrs. Tong sat there, and sneered: "What? Don't know me anymore? Or am I not on these days, and you have forgotten the number of rituals? ”RQ
