Chapter Forty-Five: The Famous Female Gentleman
After the soil improvement was completed, Wei Ruo instructed Mama Zhang, Ah Gui and Xiaoba to level the land and then store water.
After the land was prepared, Wei Ruo once again came to the wasteland south of the city, and at the same time brought a large bag of rice seeds.
When Wei Ruo handed over a bag of rice seeds to Mama Zhang and asked her and Agui Xiaoba to sow seeds, Mama Zhang showed a hesitant expression, and after thinking about it again and again, she opened her mouth to persuade Wei Ruo again:
"Miss, forgive the old slave for asking a lot, is it really possible to plant rice at this time? Why don't we change to something else? Anyway, as long as you can grow it, other crops will do. β
"Just plant this, don't worry, this rice seed is a late rice seed, I brought it back from Huzhou Mansion, someone has already planted it there, and it is planted just right at this time, and it won't grow." Wei Ruo has a firm attitude and is confident.
"Really? And such grains? Mama Zhang looked surprised.
"It's true. But don't talk about this matter to the outside world first, just take it and plant it, and wait for the seedlings to grow, and then report it to be more convincing. β
If this was put aside, Mama Zhang would never believe it, but now the situation is a little different, she has a little more trust in Wei Ruo, although she still thinks that some of the eldest lady's ideas are too wildly, even those old farmers who have planted fields all their lives will not agree with their eldest lady's ideas.
Ah Gui and Xiao Hachi didn't think about it that much.
Agui said: "The eldest lady says it's okay, let's listen to the eldest lady!" β
Xiaoba also said: "Yes, the eldest lady will plant whatever we want!" β
Nothing else matters, anyway, the eldest lady is good to them, give them delicious food, let them and their families fill their stomachs, just follow the eldest lady!
Wei Ruo told the two: "You study hard and remember it well, after this land is successful, other wasteland will be developed in the future, and there will be more long-term work at that time, and you two need to teach the experience of improving the land to others." And the follow-up management and leadership of these people will also be entrusted to you to do. β
Wouldn't they have become foremen in the future?
Ah Gui and Xiao Hachi excitedly agreed: "Don't worry, eldest lady, we will do it seriously!" β
The two of them began to bury their heads in the rice seeds.
The sowing process is not cumbersome, and when the seeds have grown into seedlings, the workload of transplanting is a little greater.
If it can grow into seedlings smoothly, it means that Wei Ruo's soil improvement has been more than half successful.
So now they only need to wait for half a month to know whether Wei Ruo's soil improvement has any effect.
###
After Wei Ruo tossed in the field for a few days, he was just free for a day when he was called by the Yun family to talk.
The content of the conversation is still a clichΓ©, and Wei Ruo is asked to arrange the affairs of the wasteland in the south of the city to his subordinates as soon as possible, and he will go to the county government to go to school.
Because she had already urged it once, this time when Wei Ruo wanted to delay again, the Yun clan had already stopped giving her a chance, let her prepare and prepare, and it would be arranged for her in the next two days.
Seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, Wei Ruo didn't say anything anymore and agreed to Yun's arrangement.
In the evening, Wei Ruo went to the dining room to have dinner with everyone.
After dinner, everyone sat together to drink tea and chat.
Wei Yichen also reported to his mother some of his reading progress today, and Wei Yilin would also tell Yun about what happened in the school.
Wei Qingwan doesn't talk much on weekdays, but today she mentioned one thing again and again: "Mother, the Xie family has invited a female gentleman, who is said to be the famous Mr. Wang Caiwei. β
Yun's eyes kept being: "Really? β
Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin also showed surprised expressions.
Wang Caiwei is a well-known talented woman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, born in a scholarly family, and has a deep family history, but it is a pity that her family is in the middle.
Wang Caiwei, who has no backer from her mother's family, still has many sons of the family pursuing, but they are all concubines instead of Ming Media Marrying.
The arrogant Wang Caiwei was naturally unwilling to be a concubine, and finally chose to marry a poor and sour talent.
Because of the hard life, Wang Caiwei began to teach to rich and noble families.
Although she has fallen down, Wang Caiwei is famous and talented; There are countless families who want to invite her to be a female gentleman in the house.
It is said that Wang Caiwei's last owner was the Qiantang Ruan family, and the late old lady of the Ruan family was the first assistant lord who took office!
And now, the Xie family in the north of the city actually invited her!
It seems that the rise of the Xie family is not groundless, and all kinds of signs have been revealed.
"Well, it's true, it was Zhilan who told me." Wei Qingwan replied in the affirmative, "Zhilan also said ......"
"What else does she say?"
"Zhilan said that her mother now wants to arrange for her to go to the Xie family to study with Miss Xie." Wei Qingwan lowered her head and whispered.
"Don't say that Mrs. Qian has such a mind, if the Xie family invites Wang Caiwei, I have to think of something to let you go!" Yun Shi Dao.
Although the current female gentleman of Qian Zhixian's family is also a little talented, she is only relative to ordinary people, and she cannot be compared with the famous Wang Caiwei.
If you become a student of Wang Caiwei and return to the capital in the future, it will be something that can be envied when you say it!
Hearing this, Wei Yilin hurriedly said: "Then mother, you go and talk to Mrs. Xie and let my sister go!" My sister is very talented and talented, and that female gentleman will like to teach my sister! β
Wei Qingwan also looked at the Yun family expectantly, expecting the Yun family to help her go to talk to the Xie family and arrange for herself to go to the Xie family to listen to Mr. Wang's class.
"I'm afraid...... The Xie family disagreed...... "Yun muttered.
They don't have a deep friendship with the Xie family, and they have only met a few times on things such as blessing cruises.
"Mother, you can help my sister ask, or we will give the Xie family some more gifts!" Wei Yilin said innocently.
"Of course I will ask, as for gift-giving, how can it be so easy, this gift has to be sent to people's hearts, and the ordinary vulgar Xie family may not be able to see it." Yun's thoughts turned a thousand times.
There were five people in a room, and all four of them were thinking about how to get the Xie family to agree to Wei Qingwan's going to the Xie family to take classes, but Wei Ruo sat next to him, calmly sipping tea.
When she put down the teacup, suddenly Wei Yichen turned his head to look at her.
Looking at each other, Wei Ruo saw apologies in Wei Yichen's eyes.
Regret? Why is he sorry?
After drinking tea, Wei Ruo left the dining hall and walked to Tingsongyuan, Wei Yichen chased after him, and said to Wei Ruo about what happened just now: "Ruo'er, I'm sorry." β
"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 will definitely be higher than those of ordinary gentlemen......"
"I'm not qualified, am I?" Wei Ruo helped him finish the unspoken words.
