Chapter 223 - Differential Treatment

Seeing Ye Hao's extremely hurried look, Fu Ruan frowned and asked:

"What? But it doesn't hurt to say that."

"I want to send a batch of rock candy from Qingcheng, about twenty catties. Come to think of it, it's better to have your manpower."

The transportation of rock candy has always been the responsibility of Fu Ru'an's people.

If Ye Hao wants some, find someone to send a message back and let someone send it over.

But this time she wanted a large batch, and for the sake of insurance, it was better to borrow Fu Ru'an's caravan.

Hearing that it was just this, Fu Ru'an asked if she wanted so much rock candy for what she was doing, and nodded in response.

"It's a simple matter, I'll tell someone to do it later, and I'll be there in two or three days."

Hearing this, Ye Hao felt a little relieved.

In Zhao Gaowei's plan, these rock candies are an extremely important prop, and if they can be sent over as soon as possible, they will be able to implement the plan as soon as possible.

After saying this, Ye Hao's whole person relaxed a lot, sat in front of the other party, and mentioned the previous opening of the restaurant.

"As for the source of the ingredients you told me last time, I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and I plan to hire some people to farm and produce and sell it myself."

Facing Fu Ru'an, she didn't hide anything and said her plan.

When he heard the other party say that he wanted to grow his own vegetables and fruits, Fu Ruan was quite surprised.

In his opinion, it is not too difficult for the other party to solve the matter of ingredients, as long as it is borrowed from the momentum of Cheng'an Wangfu, there are many people who come to the door to stammer.

Ye Hao bought the land and planted it by himself, he really didn't guess it.

After Xie Yunshu returned home yesterday, he gave Ye Zhen a new title deed, which was the piece of wasteland closest to the county seat promised by Zhao Gaowei.

When the title deed is in hand, Ye Hao has to go over to check the situation in person first, and then arrange manpower.

The girls on the other side of the old house were not averse to farming, and they were all proficient, much better than the modern girls who didn't know the grain.

After coming out of Fu Ru'an's place, Ye Hao first went back to the palace and reported the matter of rock candy to Zhao Gaowei, and then went to the wasteland he bought with Lin Bin.

It took about half an hour for the carriage to reach their destination.

It is worthy of the location arranged by Zhao Gaowei personally, and it took less than a cup of tea to arrive at the place after leaving the city gate.

This wasteland is relatively flat in the rugged Lingnan region, with only two relatively gentle hills, and most of the area is flat, suitable for cultivation and planting.

Those hillside Ye Hao felt that it was a little bit of a touch, and she just wanted to plant some fruit trees, and it would be more suitable to have a hillside.

Dozens of acres of land is not a small area, although it is a wasteland, except for wild flowers, wild grasses and stones, everything else is endless.

Ye Hao estimated that it would take a lot of time to walk around herself, so she simply sat in the carriage and let Lin Bin drive the carriage slowly.

There was not much to see in the wasteland, and she mainly wanted to spend a topographic map so that she could plan it when she went back.

With such a large piece of land, one-tenth of one's own seeds, not to mention one-tenth of the land, is estimated to be unusable.

There is still so much wasteland empty, Ye Hao is thinking carefully in her heart about how to use it.

Topographic maps are still relatively easy for her to draw, as long as she surveys the entire ground, she can draw a rough outline.

Then annotate the soil quality of each plot, which is also conducive to her subsequent planning.

After the inspection, Ye Hao returned to the palace.

She didn't rush back to deal with the topographic map, but went to visit Zhao Yi first.

She was sober up once last night, and when she came over to take a look, she was relieved to see that the other party's complexion was much better.

Fortunately, this time the fall into the water was not serious, but I choked on a few mouthfuls of water, so there was not much danger.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhao Yunqing who was stopped outside the house, and couldn't help frowning.

Why is Zhao Yunqing here again?

"Isn't the son awake? The lord of this county wants

Go in and pay a visit, why do you minions dare to stop you?"

Zhao Yunqing, who was stopped outside the door, was furious, and looked at the maids who were blocking in front of him with fierce eyes, and he was violent.

"I'm sorry county lord, the prince has instructed that no one can go in and disturb during the prince's recuperation time."

The maid at the head replied without humility or arrogance, with an extremely calm expression on her face, not caring at all who was standing opposite.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunqing was even more furious.

Why did I send all my supplements yesterday, and I can't even go in and take a look today?!

Ye Hao walked over and said to the big girl:

"Can Xiao Yi be awake at this time?"

Her gaze swept over Zhao Yunqing, but she didn't pay much attention to her.

When the maids saw Ye Hao coming, they hurriedly saluted, and the big maid led by them replied loudly:

"Shizi is waking up, and some porridge and water have been prepared in the small kitchen, and they are being used. Madame, would you like to go in and have a look?"

Nodding slightly, Ye Hao heard that Zhao Yi had woken up, so he was about to go inside.

The maids who were holding Zhao Yunqing back one after another, making way for her to enter the house.

Zhao Yunqing, who was watching from the side, turned blue, and pointed at Ye Hao angrily with great dissatisfaction:

"Didn't you say you couldn't bother?! Why did she get in?!"

This differential treatment on the surface made the anger in her heart boil again, and she was bound to find the other party for an explanation.

Who knew that the maids on the other side still didn't take her anger in their eyes and calmly refuted her.

"Others can't be disturbed, but Mrs. is the son and mother of the world, so naturally she is not among others."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that Zhao Yunqing's face was trampled under her feet, pointing at her nose and saying that she was an outsider.

Before she got angry, Xiaoqin hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Zhao Yunqing's sleeve.

"County Lord! Don't be impulsive! At this time, the prince's body has not yet recovered, and if you have a conflict with Madame Fu here, it will only attract the disgust of the prince!"

Her whispered voice of consolation played a role, allowing Zhao Yunqing, who originally wanted to make a big fuss, to temporarily regain her senses.

Holding back the words in her mouth, Zhao Yunqing went through it in her heart, and finally gritted her teeth and shook her sleeves and left.

is willing to hold back this breath, not only because he doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Zhao Yi and Zhao Gaowei because of this, which will cause the latter's disgust.

is even more because of a trace of emptiness in her heart.

Originally, Zhao Yi's falling into the water was inseparable from himself, if the other party didn't get well and made a fuss, who knows if it would cause a fire?

In order to clear up the suspicion, she had to avoid the limelight for the time being, and wait for the next time to find a chance to retaliate back!

Glaring at Ye Hao viciously, Zhao Yunqing led the maid in his yard away.

His eyes stayed on Xiaoqin, who stood up to persuade him for a few seconds, Ye Hao withdrew his gaze, turned around and entered the house.

In the room, Zhao Yi was leaning on the head of the bed, drinking the porridge fed by the maid, and his little face was wrinkled.

"How do you feel today?"

Seeing the child on the bed, Ye Hao walked over and asked gently.

Seeing the person coming, Zhao Yi's face immediately changed, and a pair of eyes stared at her brightly.

"Sister! I'm much better, can I not drink clear porridge, it's not delicious!"

Aggrievedly pointed to the bowl of extremely light porridge in the maid's hand, and his resistance was written directly on his face.

This bowl of porridge has nothing but a little salt, and it is really unpleasant for a small child.

Shaking her head helplessly, Ye Hao took the bowl of porridge from the maid's hand and continued to feed Zhao Yi.

"Well, you've got a cold, and you've been eating lighter lately. When you recover, my sister will make you braised elbows to eat, okay?"

"Good!"

Thinking of the fragrant elbow, Zhao Yi's saliva was about to flow out, so he could only continue to drink porridge in resignation.

After feeding the porridge, Ye Hao gave the empty bowl to the maid behind her, and asked everyone else in the room to go out first.

As soon as the door closed, she turned her head and asked with a serious expression:

"Xiao Yi, what did Zhao Yunqing say to you yesterday? Why do you keep looking into the pond?"

Hearing this question, Zhao Yi scratched his head, why did everyone ask him this?

Last night, when he was awake, his father broke away from everyone and asked him again.

"Yesterday morning, Cousin Yunqing came and said that she wanted to tell me a secret, telling me that the lotus flowers in the pond will produce a fruit called lotus pod in the summer, and eating it can beautify the skin. When I passed by in the morning, I wanted to stop by to see if there were any lotus flowers, and I wanted to pick a lotus pod and give it to you."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yi still felt a little aggrieved in his heart, he obviously just wanted to take a look at the lotus flowers, but somehow his feet slipped and fell into the pond.

Hearing that he would fall into the water for himself, Ye Hao's heart softened, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of the other party's head again.

"You, you know that Zhao Yunqing is not a good person, how can you still listen to her? Remember next time, don't take other people's word for it, little fool."

pinched his face dotingly, and she told Zhao Yi to be vigilant.

With a pouting mouth, Zhao Yi nodded his little head, kept this matter in his heart, and made a note for Zhao Yunqing.

He originally changed his opinion about the other party's idea for him, but he overturned the only remaining good impression in the letter, and secretly established Zhao Yunqing as his enemy.

"Alright, you have a good rest first, don't run around, good."

After appeasing Zhao Yi for a while, Ye Hao left.

Before leaving, she uneasily instructed the maids in the courtyard for a while, asking them not to let Zhao Yunqing in and get close to Zhao Yi.

The incident of falling into the water brought a sense of crisis to her heart, coupled with the fact that the other party was sending supplements and coming to visit, so she couldn't help but worry about whether the other party saw that the goal was not achieved, and wanted to attack Zhao Yi.

The maids had already received Zhao Gaowei's orders, so they naturally didn't dare to take this lightly and responded again and again.

After leaving Zhao Yi's courtyard, Ye Hao returned to his courtyard, but he didn't see Xie Yunshu.

A little puzzled frown, but she didn't think much of it, and went into the house to study her topographical map.

Zhao Yi has to cultivate for the past few days because of falling into the water, so Xie Yunshu and Lin Bin's classes have been temporarily stopped, and it stands to reason that the two should be very leisurely.

Xie Yunshu, who can become one of Zhao Gaowei's henchmen, is not as easy as Ye Hao thought.

In addition, he himself also wants to perform in front of the other party and show his ability, so he will try to work on himself.

Ye Hao knew the ambitions and calculations in Xie Yunshu's heart, and she didn't plan to ask too much about studying her own affairs.

According to the topographic map drawn, those dozens of acres of wasteland can actually be reclaimed, and it is still possible to grow some drought-resistant crops.

But Ye Hao thought about it for a while, not to mention whether she had so many seeds, even if she didn't have enough people.

Excluding the number of men and dyers to be recruited into the weaving workshop, there are at most 50 people left, and it is certainly unrealistic to take care of dozens of acres of land.

After all, they are all girls, and she is not like a landlord who oppresses labor, and she still has to work two shifts to give plenty of rest.

For the time being, the most fertile land will be reclaimed first, and if you look closely, there are also four or five acres, and it is definitely enough to plant the seeds in your hands at the moment.

As for the rest of the place, it will be put on hold for the time being.

However, the accommodation of these farming girls is a problem, after all, the old house is far away from the wasteland, and it can't make people spend an hour or two just going back and forth every day, right?
