"Really?" Shen Xianyue was overjoyed, she was recuperating in the house during this time, and she was about to get out of mushrooms.

Moreover, when I learned about the current farming with the villagers of Hushui Village, I found that there were many irrational places, such as the wheat that should be planted in the north was planted in the relatively warm temperature of Nanrui country, and the south was rich in rain, but there was no rice, and even sweet potatoes, potatoes, soybeans and other crops had never been heard of.

Yishoin Temple

Ji Yanran's face was worried, she walked around the room, and felt that Shen Yan's approach this time was a bit deviant, "Master, how can you allow their sisters to mess around like this!" ”

Shen Yan poured Ji Yanran a cup of tea, refilled a cup for himself, and then said slowly: "You! It is a loving mother who has many defeated children. They are getting older and older, and you protect them in swaddling clothes every day, and they will never grow up, you look at Ah Yue, aren't you spoiled like this? If you don't experience some wind and rain, you will definitely suffer a loss if you marry into the Lang family in the future. ”

"I don't want the Shen family's signboard to smash in my hands." When he said this, his gaze was a little far-reaching, and his tone was firm: "Moreover, they are all very capable!" ”

Of course, Ji Yanran knew Shen Yan's worries, and she hurriedly explained, "The wheat introduced by the master from the Northern Chu Kingdom more than ten years ago was successfully planted in the Nanrui Kingdom, which has already benefited the people of Nanrui, otherwise the people would just eat some sorghum and chestnut rice with lower yields. ”

It seemed that she thought of something again, and said: "The heirloom of the Shen family......"

The heirloom of the Shen family has always had an unwritten rule that it is not passed on.

But in Shen Yan's generation, he did not inherit any family heirlooms, but the ancestors' handwritings did inherit a lot.

At this time, Shen Xianyue waved away everyone in the room, forced out a pot of spiritual spring water in the space with her fingers, and drank it happily.

Actually, this space was discovered when the original owner was ten years old, but he didn't think there was anything special about this water. It wasn't until I climbed the wall and fell more seriously that I drank the spring water and found that the wound healed faster than usual, so I had the memory that the original owner often drank it.

If it weren't for the fact that the original owner was prejudiced against everyone in the Shen Mansion and refused to share this secret with his family, he would not have been burned to death by fever because of the inflammation of the wound.

I can't help but sigh for the original owner, but she quickly put her mentality right, she doesn't have any big ambitions, she just wants to live well.

But the Shen family's "six-year covenant of the dead family" is like a knife about to fall on the guillotine, which has invisibly become the biggest obstacle to his retirement in ancient times.

The only way to survive now is to first lift the crisis of the Shen family's "six-year covenant of the dead family", and then take one step at a time.

The sixteenth day of the second lunar month is the day that Shen Yan agreed with the villagers of Hushui Village.

Shen Yan arranged for Steward Shen to take over the division of the experimental field, and sent the corresponding list of farmers and silver taels to each principal.

Early in the morning, with the cooperation of the guards and housekeepers, Shen Yan, Shen Youwu, Shen Xixia, and Shen Qiuli actively received the villagers.

Their approach is basically the same, and they have given several plans: one is to buy the land at the market price, and the other is to lease it, in short, the villagers have more or less received some material and basic spiritual comfort.

Shen Xianyue, who was the least favored, met with the thirteen families in his hand slowly before dinner.

Ninghui Pavilion is a place temporarily used by the Shen family to receive guests, in front of the living room, a huge grapefruit tree is planted, the pomelo tree smells fresh and smelly, and people can't help but feel happy.

Early in the morning, Shen Xianyue paid out of her own pocket to arrange for the kitchen to make two tables of good dishes and decided to put them under the grapefruit tree.

At this time, Shen Xianyue sat on the top seat and drank tea with one hand holding a cup, and a thick cushion was placed on the stool, and Shen Xianyue's stomach was temporarily well.

Looking at the villagers who were brought in by the maid blowing snow, a polite smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Grandfathers, uncles, uncles and aunts, please sit down, please come over for a light meal today, and discuss the test field by the way, no need to be formal, sit down!" Shen Xianyue hurriedly got up and saluted everyone.

Everyone hurriedly waved their hands and did not dare to accept the salute, all of them were restrained, and they did not dare to sit down. They all glanced at the elder in front of them with their eyes, the elder was neither humble nor arrogant, and began to look at Shen Xianyue from the moment he entered the door.

Shen Xianyue's heart was clear, and she immediately understood that this elder should have a lot of prestige in this group of people. So she put on a faint smile and asked with respect: "This grandfather, I don't know what to call you?" ”

"In Xia Bucai, I am the village chief of Hushui Village, surnamed Chen, with a single mountain character, and everyone respects me as Village Chief Chen on weekdays." His face was full of furrows and wrinkles, revealing a little doubt.

Since the Shen family came to this Huanshui Village, he sent his third son in the town to inquire about the news of the Shen Mansion, and the most impressive thing was this fourth lady, which can be described as "unsightly", which is not comparable to the average girl in the village, so when they knew that they were assigned to the most useless Shen Xianyue, everyone was not good.

But now seeing that she is very educated when she raises her hand, and it is not like the rumored appearance, I can't help but feel a little curious and expectant.

"Grandpa Chen, since everyone is not in the mood to eat, let's talk about the fields first. Everybody, please. With the support of Blowing Snow, Shen Xianyue moved her position to the meeting room, where many stools were prepared in advance, just enough for the villagers to sit.

Everyone sat down timidly, but their eyes were wandering around, after all, they were all poor people, and the rumors of "big families" were also spread from other people's mouths. So there was a lack of interest.

Shen Xianyue still looked close and lovely, and asked everyone, "I don't know if you have any opinions and suggestions on the matter of the Shen Mansion's experimental field?" ”

For a while, you look at me, I look at you, and finally only one woman muttered in a trembling voice, "Just take the money!" ”

When everyone heard this, they smiled awkwardly.

"In this case, let me talk about my plan first, first of all, the land in everyone's hands is left by the ancestors from generation to generation, and it is not realistic to sell it." Everyone has no opinion on this statement.

"Then the plan I give to you here is to lease, I rent your field to plant, and give silver on an annual basis, what to plant, how to plant? You have to listen to me about this, do you have any objections to this? ”

Chen Shan hurriedly asked, "I don't know what kind of rent method this is, and how much silver is given a year." This sentence was asked to everyone's heart.

"How about five taels of silver a mu a year?"

Everyone's faces were immediately full of surprise, and they felt that it was very feasible, because they heard that the other villagers had only rented three taels of silver in the morning, so everyone had no objection.

Shen Xianyue continued, "Since everyone has no opinion, then I will say something else, this field is rented, I must not be able to plant it alone, I want to ask you to help me take care of it together, 300 Wen per person per month, if you are at home with a child, the child is 100 Wen per person, and 180 Wen is over ten years old, this matter is not in a hurry, first give everyone a breath, everyone go back to discuss, and then come over to report the number of people." ”

After hearing this, everyone felt that pie had fallen from the sky and applauded.

A trace of doubt flashed on Village Chief Chen's shrewd face, he clenched his hand into a fist, put it to his mouth and coughed, "I don't know why Fourth Miss gave everyone such preferential treatment?" ”

Shen Xianyue smiled and replied calmly, "Within the scope of my responsibility, I may be more tired than elsewhere." ”

"How do you get tired?" Don't make any money, even your life is on the line.

Shen Xianyue tilted her head, thought about it, and said, "For example, one thing I am more anxious about at the moment is to ask everyone to help pick up fertilizer, this hundred acres of fertilizer, there may be more needs, maybe this year will take twice as much effort as before, it is all ordinary farm work, and it will not put everyone's life in danger." ”

Everyone thought that the fourth lady was so good!

So, he took out the lease agreement written in advance and signed it, and directly received the silver according to the number of acres of land at home.

In the end, Shen Xianyue also took the rest of the dishes back to everyone equally, and brushed up another wave of goodwill for this.

When everyone was leaving, Shen Xianyue left Chen Shan and her eldest son Chen Dazhi alone, and asked them to help count the number of workers, and release the purchase of agricultural fertilizer, and left them a pair of cards, so that they could come to her at any time if they had something to do.

After some tossing, Shen Xianyue only felt tired, the small box where the silver was stored was empty, and the whole person was even worse.

At the end of the meeting, Shen Yan sent the housekeeper to ask Shen Xianyue what the purpose of this move was, and Shen Xianyue only said perfunctorily, "If you eat people, your mouth is short, and that person is soft." "In the end, it didn't work.

Later, for a few days, Shen Xianyue was recuperating while planning farming, and met with several foreign men in the Hanyue Pavilion where he lived, which caused several other young ladies to speak ill of her, especially Shen Youwu, who had the best tutor, and was so angry that she dropped the teacup a few times.

Shen Xianyue listened to Mama Song nagging in her ear every day, but she just smiled, recuperated with peace of mind, and did not make trouble to protest again.

On this day, Shen Xianyue's injury finally healed.

I was stuffy in the bedroom for nearly half a month, so I decided to go out and let off steam.

She instructed her subordinates to move the workbench they were accustomed to to in the courtyard to the Xiyu Pavilion in the courtyard, and to write plans with homemade charcoal.

"Smack." A stone fell at his feet.

Shen Xianyue glanced at it and continued to write the plan.

"Snap ......" is another two stones in a row that fall at your feet.

Shen Xianyue was a little upset, stood up and looked around, but didn't find who was playing a prank.

Suddenly, a flower appeared in front of me, and what caught my eye was a handsome and handsome face, with a bad smile on his face, Bai Temporary's face was full of angular perseverance, and his long eyelashes were matched with a pair of Danfeng eyes, which was refreshing and handsome. "Little Ayue, did you miss me?"

"Lu Jinghan! You're going to die! Shen Xianyue clenched her fists and beckoned to Lu Jinghan, daring to scare this girl, is she impatient?

Lu Jinghan's eyes were quick and he hurriedly wrapped his palm around Shen Xianyue's small fist, with a look of disgust, "It's only been a few days, you have a good temper!" ”

Shen Xianyue snorted coldly, withdrew her fist and hugged it in her arms, returned to her seat, and asked angrily, "What are you doing here?" ”

The person who came was the "street double" in Nancheng, which was as famous as Shen Xianyue.

Shen Xianyue and Lu Jinghan's little bit of bad things still have to start when they were five years old, the reason is that Shen Xianyue Keju used the ball accidentally kicked into Lu Jinghan's courtyard, Shen Xianyue climbed over the wall to find it, and Lu Jinghan, who picked up the ball, saw that the ball was very exquisite, so he was greedy, and he fought under the dispute.

Later, Lu Jinghan often climbed over the wall to play with Shen Xianyue, and the two established a deep revolutionary friendship.

Lu Jinghan walked to the opposite side of Shen Xianyue and squatted down, holding his chin and reaching out to grab Shen Xianyue's farming plan, but after a few general glances, he raised his eyebrows and said, "How about taking you out to play?" ”
