Because An Chuxia never went to any literati gatherings, and he had no intention of making any noble friends.

She has always rarely gone out, and almost no students know that they say that Xie Yuan, a female who has no real talent and learning, lives there.

An Chuxia spent this time in Zhuangzi, and began to teach An Jinchen, Runsheng and An Zixi how to cultivate cotton seeds.

In winter, the rich and noble wear fur coats and silk brocade.

Middle-class wealthy merchants and wealthy families would spend a lot of money on liners made of kapok to keep them warm.

And the common people can only wear more linen clothes to keep out the cold.

Kapok also has good warmth, but its yield is not high.

Therefore, the price of the warm clothes made will be very expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

In particular, the army guarding the northern city did not have good warm cotton clothes, and every winter was the most difficult time for them.

Even if the imperial court would send a large number of lined clothes made of silk and linen to the northern military camp first, it would only be a drop in the bucket.

If she could grow cotton, some of the people and soldiers here would not have fallen ill or frozen to death in the winter.

There are also corn seeds, when the season comes, plant them at an appropriate distance and manage them carefully.

An Chuxia saw Zhuangzi, who was originally unoccupied, and now it has become much more lively.

The chickens, ducks and geese sent a while ago, as well as a dozen or so piglets, have already made their homes in Zhuangzi.

Those who bought them took good care of them.

The land was also bought back by a few cows, slowly ploughed and waited to be planted on it.

Next to a small river, An Chuxia asked people to dig a pond and prepare to plant lotus roots in it.

A few acres of low-lying land leaning against the pond were converted into paddy fields.

The town of Bluestone, where she came from, belongs to the southern part of the country, where rice is also grown.

However, instead of raising and transplanting seedlings as in modern times, they directly spread rice seeds in paddy fields and let them grow.

In this way, it is not only difficult to remove the weeds that are mixed in the middle of the rice seedlings, because the seedlings are too dense and not ventilated.

When it is ripe, the rice that grows tall can easily fall into the field, and the harvest is not high.

An Chuxia wanted to use these acres of paddy fields to try to plant rice seedling planting technology in this dynasty.

She buys back the best paddy and allows people to pick out the fullest seeds in it.

When the time comes, I will go to the rivers and ponds that have not been dug for a long time and get some old silt back.

The sludge is very fertile, and when the plump rice seeds are soaked and sprouted, they can be evenly sprinkled on the ridged silt.

Then use the fine soil that has been sifted out through a sieve and sprinkle it on top in a thin layer.

However, there is no plastic film greenhouse in this dynasty, and the time and survival rate of seedlings are not easy to control.

After the things on Zhuangzi are arranged, the day of the trial list is approaching.

An Chuxia shouted to Gu Fangmiao, who was feeding the chickens with a cloth towel wrapped around her head in the distance, and shouted, "Miaomiao, we are going back." ”

Gu Fangmiao, who was dressed as a peasant girl, walked in front of An Chuxia with an empty basin, because the wind was cold just now, and her face was still a little pale.

"Are you going back so soon?" Gu Fangmiao obviously likes the simple life of Zhuangzi.

"Yes! Little girl, go and wash your face, just like a little flower cat! ”

An Chuxia stretched out a finger and dotted the gray area on her face.

An Jinchen was busy in Zhuangzi, so it was An Zixi who drove the carriage to send the two back.

The road was bumpy, and the carriage slowed down as it entered the imperial city.

Gu Fangmiao lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the street, there were many restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street, bustling and lively.

Just when the carriage of the two of them passed by a teahouse, they suddenly heard someone lying on the railing on the second floor, shouting loudly below: "Senior Sister Gu!" Senior Sister Gu ......"

Gu Fangmiao looked up and saw Wang Libin sticking his head out on the second floor of the teahouse and calling her.

"Stop!" Gu Fangmiao asked An Zixi to stop the carriage.

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao got out of the carriage and asked An Zixi to drive the carriage to the side and wait.

Now that they met Senior Brother Wang, how could the two of them not go up to say hello.

As soon as the two of them walked into the lobby of the teahouse, they saw Wang Libin who came down to greet them, as well as Mo Ziluo and Chen Han behind him.

"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Mo, Senior Brother Chen, you are all here!"

Gu Fangmiao saw that a few people were usually very caring, and she and An Chuxia's senior brother were obviously very happy.

"Senior Sister An, Senior Sister Gu!"

Wang Libin: The others were also very happy to see An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao.

After greeting each other, Wang Libin brought An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao to the second floor of the teahouse.

The teahouse is also very large, and in addition to the private rooms on the third floor, the first and second floors are open spaces.

At this time, most of the people who lit a pot of tea inside and sat around and chatted were candidates who were waiting for the results to be released.

When the five brothers and sisters walked up to the teahouse, they still attracted the attention of many candidates.

They looked at An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao, not because of how good-looking the two of them were, or because there was anything special.

Instead, in order to make it easier for the two to work on the Zhuangzi, they wore cloth clothes, and they didn't change them when they came back.

The clothes she was wearing were more or less stained with mud and dust on Zhuangzi, and the cloth towel on Gu Fangmiao's head was still there.

If you don't look at the fair faces of the two of them, then An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao's clothes at this time are undoubtedly the two village girls.

"When is the most upscale teahouse in the capital, Tianfu Tea House, even the village girl can come in and drink tea."

An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao were just taken by Wang Libin's three senior brothers to sit down at their tea table, and ordered a pot from Xiao Er, the most famous black tea soup in this tea house, "Caotang Drifting Snow".

At this time, among the five or six people sitting at the table diagonally opposite, there was a male student with a long face, small eyes, and a flat nose, and he couldn't help but sarcastically sneer.

An Chuxia grabbed Wang Libin, who was about to stand up and get angry, turned his head and glanced lightly at the male student who was talking at the table.

Then elegantly picked up the black tea that Xiao Er had brewed, gently scratched the foam on the tea with the lid of the cup, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and took a sip.

The whole process was dignified and elegant, and An Chuxia's expression and movements at this time were like a loud slap in the face, hitting the male student who spoke.

Wang Wenbin smiled and shook his head, sat down again, and Mo Ziluo and Chen Han quietly gave Senior Sister An a compliment.

Gu Fangmiao touched the cloth towel wrapped around her head, and also understood that the village girl who was ridiculed by the male student might be talking about her and Sister An.

Just as she was about to stare at someone with her watery and cute big eyes, Chen Han pushed the pastries that everyone had specially ordered for her to Gu Fangmiao.

The nerd's expression didn't change at all, and his voice was still so cute, with a poisonous tongue, "Senior Sister Gu, eat quickly, don't be with people who don't have long eyes on your head, you are generally knowledgeable!" ”

"Poof!" Gu Fangmiao covered her mouth in time.

still let the male student with very small eyes slap the table in annoyance.
