The children who were waiting for the price looked dazed, and their eyes did not have the clarity of children of this age, and some were helpless and hesitant.

"Meimei, is it my delusion? How do you feel that there have been so many more homeless people on the streets recently?" Wei Ruo lifted the curtain and said to Xiumei, who was driving.

"It's not the illusion of the young lady, not every county in Taizhou is so lucky with Xingshan County, the people in some counties had a bad harvest last year, and the grain they saved was at most supported until this year, and it was not enough to support them for a few months after selling their homes, I heard that many of them borrowed money from the landlord to plant this year's land, but they encountered the cold wave a few days ago, which completely cut off their hope, so there are more homeless people on the street these days."

Saying that, Xiumei sighed: "I guess there will be more in a few days, if there is no good harvest this year, everyone really doesn't know how to live."

Even this is the case here in the prefecture, and the county town below doesn't know what it looks like.

Wei Ruo's expression was slightly gloomy, although he had already guessed that such a situation might occur, but after seeing it with his own eyes, his mood would still have some impact.

After walking around the city for a while, it was almost time, and Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to drive back to the school captain's mansion.

Wei Ruo entered the mansion through the small door on the side, and before going home, Wei Ruo had already changed his outfit back in the carriage.

When he got out of the car, Wei Ruo saw a carriage parked in front of the main gate, and a few strange guards guarded it.

Intuition told Wei Ruo that there was a person with an unusual identity in the mansion.

Xiumei was a little worried when she saw it: "Miss, is there something going on in the house?"

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we will talk about it when we go back."

When Wei Ruo and Xiumei entered Tingsong Garden, they saw a familiar figure.

Mama Qin stood at the door of Tingsong Yuan with a smile on her face, waiting for Wei Ruo respectfully.

Wei Ruo's heart sank slightly, and when he saw the battle at the door, Wei Ruo had already guessed that it might be Chu Lan who came to the mansion.

Now that I have seen Mama Qin, I can be sure that it is Chu Lan.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Wei Ruo stepped forward and greeted Mama Qin, "I've seen Mama."

"Hello big girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the big girl is becoming more and more bright and moving." Mama Qin praised.

Wei Ruozhi was complimenting himself, so he just smiled and didn't really take it to heart.

"Mama must not have come to the house by chance today, since she came to look for me, there must be something to do, please come to the house and let's talk slowly." Wei Ruodao.

Mama Qin replied with a smile: "The eldest girl is so thoughtful, she really can't hide anything, she really has something to find the eldest girl."

Wei Ruo nodded and smiled, and then invited Mama Qin into the Tingsong Garden.

When they arrived at the house and took their seats, Wei Ruo opened her mouth to ask about the specific matters that Mama Qin came to find her today.

If Wei Ruo got straight to the point and didn't drag the mud and water, Mama Qin went straight to the point: "Actually, the old body came this time to mean the Seventh Highness."

"I wonder what His Highness commands?" Wei Ruodao, his face was calm, calm, and he already had a conjecture in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to speak, waiting for Mama Qin to explain.

"The eldest girl is smart, thanks to the blessing of the eldest girl, the wasteland in the south of Xingshan County has ushered in a bumper harvest of wheat, and now the rice planted is also growing gratifyingly. ….

Mama Qin is also an old man, and before asking someone to do something, she still didn't forget to praise Wei Ruo first.

Wei Ruoqian smiled and was silent.

Mama Qin continued: "Now that the situation in the Jiangnan area is known to the eldest girl, if we go according to this situation, I am afraid that this year's grain will be in arrears, and the people's lives are hard to live day by day, plus there are many wars here, and taxes are heavy."

This is to be emotionally moved by Wei Ruoxiao.

Wei Ruo answered: "Yes, the people regard food as their sky, and if there is a shortage of food, everyone's life is sad."

Mama Qin said, "Therefore, His Royal Highness Seventh hopes that the eldest girl can take action again to help the people in other parts of Taizhou Mansion to expand the cultivated land to relieve the suffering of the people."

In addition to Xingshan County, there is saline-alkali land in Taizhou Prefecture, and there are also many such lands in other counties, and if they can be used in the same way as Xingshan County to increase the area of cultivated land, then even if the grain yield per mu decreases, the final output can be guaranteed.

Wei Ruo didn't answer immediately, but just sighed lightly.

Mama Qin was a little worried when she saw this, she knew about the incident in the south of Xingshan County, and when Her Royal Highness reported to the imperial court, she did not mention that the eldest girl of the Wei family had treated the eldest girl badly, and now she wants someone to help improve the wasteland, and it is normal for people to have some opinions in their hearts.

Mama Qin waited for a while and then said to Wei Ruo earnestly: "Big girl, there are many things in this court that women in the boudoir can think about, since the founding of our dynasty, few clan daughters have been publicly rewarded and rewarded, and Your Highness can't set this precedent for the eldest girl."

Mama Qin said again, "But the eldest girl's talents and merits have always been remembered by His Royal Highness, and the grace she should have will not be less than that of the eldest girl."

Mama Qin's words have been made very clear, Wei Ruo is a woman in the boudoir, and it is difficult to be publicly praised for doing something meaningful to the people of her family and country.

And although Chu Lan can't help Wei Ruo report his merits clearly, he will reward Wei Ruo himself and give Wei Ruo his reward and grace.

Wei Ruo answered unhurriedly: "It's not that I don't understand what Mama said, it's just that Mama also knows that I'm just a woman in the boudoir, and I've reached the age of marriage, as the concubine of the Earl's Palace, even if I can't glorify the lintel, I shouldn't embarrass the Earl's Court." If you go out all day long, do farm work, and still hang out with men, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate."

Wei Ruo quoted the Yun family's statement that she was not allowed to go out at the beginning, and rejected Mama Qin.

Mama Qin continued to persuade: "Big girl, in fact, although His Royal Highness can't ask the court for a reward for the big girl, but the Wei Mansion is now a lot of officials in the court, such as the big girl's father, Lord Wei, who is brave, resourceful and warlike, but lacks a suitable opportunity."

Wei Ruo could hear that Mama Qin was telling her that her exploits could help the men of the Wei family, and if her father was promoted to a knighthood, her status would naturally rise with the tide.

This would work if it was put on ordinary people, but it happened that Wei Ruo never planned to rely on the Wei family for anything.

Growing up in the modern era, she has always been a firm believer that women should rely on themselves, not their parents and brothers, and even now that she lives in a world that is very unfriendly to women, she has never wavered in this idea.

Wei Ruo replied to Mama Qin without impatience: "I understand what Mama means, but I really don't have time to do this for the time being, and my ability is limited, there is a certain element of luck in the last incident in Chengnan, and I may not have such good luck if I come again."
