Xiao Yanxing restrained himself from retracting the eyes that accidentally fell on her feet, Wang Shu's feet were really good-looking, the toes were even, and the nails were neatly cut. A little green tendon on the instep of the foot makes it look fairer.

He cleared his throat and said condescendingly, "Get dressed, sit down and talk." ”

Wang Shu looked down, her clothes were tightly covered, and even the skin between her fingernails did not leak. Why aren't you dressed?

"Oh." However, muttering in her heart, Wang Shu still reorganized her face.

After the stay, I didn't bother to wear socks and shoes. So I stepped on the carpet and went to the soft couch by the window and sat down.

Xiao Yanxing glanced at her still bare feet: "......"

The affairs of the Wang family, Xiao Yanxing was staring at it from beginning to end.

Although the fifteen bookkeepers gave it to Wang Shu, it doesn't mean that these people won't return what they found to Xiao Yanxing. He also had an agreement with Wang Shu some time ago, and he was naturally investigating the death of Wang Shu's father. The reason why I came here today is that I found something. I thought that when Wang Shu came back today, she would at least go to the front yard to report.

Who knew that this girl went back to the house and fell asleep. Waiting left and right, waiting for no one to come, Xiao Yanxing rarely has a sense of absurdity. The snack sent back by Wang Shu just finished eating. He sent the gods and went around to the North Garden.

"What?" Wang Shu crossed her legs, her nails glowing pink in the candlelight.

Xiao Yanxing: "The group of people you are looking for your father is used to in the northernmost penal colony. ”

Wang Shu: "!!! ”

Her eyes widened for a moment, her whole body threw herself on the desk, and her face stretched out in front of Xiao Yanxing. She got up suddenly, in a hurry, Xiao Yanxing's body did not move, the breath of the two smelled each other, and the two faces were separated by two palms.

"In the Exiled Lands?!" Wang Shu was shocked, "Why was it over there, was it deliberately sold!" ”

Xiao Yanxing's eyelashes trembled almost invisibly, and the corners of his mouth pursed. endured it, but still didn't hold back, stretched out a finger and pointed it on Wang Shu's forehead, pushing her face that was too close to a foot away.

"Sitting, not sitting." After a light reprimand, Xiao Yanxing opened his lips slowly, "Won't it be clear if you get people back and ask?" ”

Wang Shu's eyebrows still had the warm touch of his fingertips, and he was stunned for a long time before reacting. immediately hung up a dog's leg and smiled, and continued to make up with a smile: "Ye is willing to help me get people back?" Ye opened this mouth, he is willing to help me get people back, right? ”

Xiao Yanxing's hand on the table held back, and he didn't continue to order Wang Shu out, and sat back a little: "It depends on your sincerity." ”

Wang Shu: "......" Oh, this man's loan shark is here on the big night.

CHAPTER XXXI

The price to pay, of course, cannot be small. Although Xiao Yanxing did not let Wang Shu immediately give substantial benefits, he asked her for a promise.

"This promise can't be a life-threatening matter, the pillar industry of the Wang family's ancestral property." Wang Shu pursed her lips, she must make a statement in advance, otherwise, she would rather spend time and energy to check it herself.

"Yes."

Xiao Yanxing nodded, and his attitude was gentle, "Also, you can't cut off the supply every day." ”

“？” Cut off? What's offered?

Wang Shu didn't understand what Xiao Yanxing meant for a while, did she usually have any offerings? In a trance, Wang Shu glanced at the sanctimonious man opposite, and said tentatively: "For all kinds of novel food? ”

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

After a pause, Xiao Yanxing suddenly leaned back, and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

He tilted his head slightly, his shallow gaze swayed beautifully in the candlelight, and looked at Wang Shu with an inexplicable focused gaze. At first, it was just a shallow smile, but the more I laughed, the bigger I laughed, and finally I laughed out loud.

Xiao Yanxing's laughter was light and pleasant, like jade striking each other. This quiet inner room is exceptionally clear. The thin monk's robe on his body also shook with his happy laughter. Obviously looking at the thin person, At this time, the robe vibrate, and the smooth and superior lines inside were revealed.

Wang Shu didn't know what was funny about this, and looked at him with wide eyes and bewilderment.

Xiao Yanxing rubbed his lower lip with his index finger and nodded unashamedly: "Yes." ”

Wang Shu: "...... Okay, in the future, if you have a share of me, you will have a share of the master. ”

Xiao Yanxing hooked the corners of his mouth, groaned, and said, "No, if I want you, I have to give it." ”

Wang Shu: "......" is really greedy for a man who is good at loan sharking.

Wang Shu didn't speak, and the room was quiet.

For a long time, neither of them spoke. Seeing that it was going to be the second watch, Wang Shu looked at the master who was not sleepy at all. This man has good energy, and he seems to be a pretty good night owl.

Wang Shu complained in her heart about inconsequential matters. didn't want to stay up all night with him, so he quickly nodded and responded: "Yes, yes, yes, I will eat if my lord wants to eat in the future, and I will definitely make offerings." ”

Xiao Yanxing could naturally see that her patience had run out. I almost threw 'aren't you going to leave?' and 'There's nothing else, you should go quickly' in his face.

This master didn't know whether it was to promote narrowness or bad taste, so he didn't mention it. He sat down across from him and took a shallow sip of tea. The tea is a little cold, but it tastes different in the mouth on this summer night.

Wang Shu didn't know what he was looking at, looked down at his clothes, and didn't find anything wrong.

After thinking about it, Wang Shu could only speak: "Master...... You can't be hungry, right? ”

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

…… He won't come to Beiyuan in the middle of the night to beg for food when he's hungry, isn't this girl a little brainy and unusual for ordinary people?

Wang Shu doesn't care if she guesses right or not, anyway, she guesses casually. It's already tortured to wake up and fall asleep in the middle of sleep, and she just wants to get people away as soon as possible. So he stood up and went to rummage through his snacks. She's been so busy lately that she doesn't have time to tinker with these things. So there's not much stock either.

After eating the jerky, there is a little fried food.

But this thing can only be a sweet thing, and I have nothing to do to chew two. It was Wang Shu who made a sweet mouth for the purpose of reading the accounts. If you don't get some delicious soothing work, it's really easy to get tired. There was only a little left to eat, because I made it myself, so I was reluctant to throw it away and brought it all back.

Xiao Yanxing looked at the small fried goods piled up in front of him, and was silent for a long time and didn't know what to say. He's not so hungry yet.

"Not hungry?" Wang Shu saw that he didn't eat. He sat cross-legged back in his original position.

When people are in trouble, their spirits will inevitably relax. At this time, Wang Shu was too lazy to maintain any sitting appearance, so he lazily leaned into a ball. She wasn't short, but she was very slender. Curled up in a chair doesn't really take up much space. The fair-skinned feet fell on the outside of the dress, and the ten toes curled up, like a good jade carving, "Master, do you like to eat melons and fruits?" ”

Wang Shu was so sleepy, and her eyelids drooped, "My cold melon field should be grown." I'll go to the melon field tomorrow and bring you two cold melons to try? ”

Xiao Yanxing looked at her quietly.

The candlelight swayed in the night wind, and the light and shade changes that were stirred by the wind reflected the delicate and lazy people under the lamp. Peony shrank in the corner of the curtain with the tea, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

Although the room was so quiet that only the breathing of the two masters remained, it was inexplicable that no one dared to disturb it.

After a long time, Xiao Yanxing opened his lips lightly: "It's late at night, rest in peace." ”

"Huh??"

Wang Shu lay on her knees, and was awakened in a daze by his words. She blinked, unsure if she had misheard. Looking up at the person opposite, Xiao Yanxing's hand holding the cup didn't move for a long time.

After a pause, he chuckled softly: "Hmm." ”

Wang Shu: "!!!!! ”

Is he cured?

But apparently Wang Shu was worried too soon. This man's symptoms are so serious, how can he overcome them so easily.

Wang Shu waited for a while, but the master still asked someone to bring in a new quilt and spread it on the bed. Two quilts on a hot day, I can know what this person means with my heels. She looked down at the Chu River Han Realm that seemed to be a moat, and completely withdrew her excess worries.

This master is more reassuring than a monk.

"Do you like to be inside the bed or out of the bed?" Wang Shu yawned lazily.

Anyway, she can sleep anywhere, let him choose first.

Xiao Yanxing stood in the shadow of the lamp, his handsome and elegant figure stretched the silver thrown on the wall, and Wang Shu estimated that he was at least eight feet tall. I didn't expect this lord to be so tall, with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and a humble posture.

Quietly looking at Wang Shu, who was disapproving, a trace of displeasure inexplicably rose in his heart. Xiao Yanxing is old and weak, and no woman has ever cared so much about his stay.

However, glancing at the bed, this master still chose the outside of the bed very obediently.

Out of bed?

Oh, yes, it's easy to run away at any time.

Wang Shu nodded, kicked his shoes on the bed without any shyness, and rolled into the bed.

Cover with a thin quilt and fall asleep in a few breaths.

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

Early the next morning, Wang Shu woke up and there was no trace of Xiao Yanxing on the bed.

She slept soundly, and she didn't know when the man had left. The left and right will not hinder her in anything, and Wang Shu is not at ease.

No, it doesn't mean that you don't feel at ease. Wang Shu was actually still a little worried, Xiao Yanxing came to her house in the middle of the night to give usury, and the other ladies who were staring at Beiyuan knew about it. Especially the Lin family, I am afraid that I am going to lift her Beiyuan.

However, it is estimated that this master doesn't want Wang Shu to be eye-catching, after all, he has taken a fancy to the Wang family, and he has been to Wang Shu's house and has been kept secret.

After making sure that no one found out, Wang Shu waited patiently at Xiao's house for a few days.

found a good day, took leave with Mama Yuan and went out of the house.

The rice in the experimental field has passed the heading stage and is about to enter the flowering stage. Rice is a hermaphroditic herbaceous plant, and in general, it is pollinated by wind-powered pollination. In order to change the characteristics of rice and improve its performance, it is necessary to remove emasculation before pollination and then pollinate by hand.

This step is crucial, there is no way to be lazy, you have to be careful and the sooner you go, the better. If it's too late, the plants have already done their pollination on their own, and this year's hybridization experiment will be considered a failure.

The flowering period is generally about 30 days. Now it is a preliminary flowering period.

Time is actually a little tight, Wang Shu seems to have a string on the top of her head, and she can't relax. Although this year's test field was prepared in a hurry, she still didn't want the hard work and hard work of the past few months to be in vain.

"Let's go faster." Wang Shu has not been idle in the Xiao family these days, but is preparing materials for bagging.

To complete the process of artificial hybridization, it is necessary to carry out two bagging processes.

The first bagging is to emasculate the mother to prevent self-pollination when the pollen is not yet mature, and the second bagging is to prevent interference from foreign pollen after manual pollination. Experimental deviations occur. Both bagging must be timely, and there must be no mistakes.

The preparation of these bagging materials also has to be rigorously inspected and in large quantities. Wang Shu spent some effort looking for it.

The carriage arrived at the test field, and the families of the two tenants were already waiting on the ridge. Wang Shu ordered someone to drag the processed bagging materials over, and then carefully explained the steps of their removal from the male.

Although they have been working with academic bosses for ten years, in order to prevent negligence after doing too many things, they must be alerted.

The tenants did not dare to be lazy, and after taking over their respective tasks, they went to work.

The way to remove emasculation is more traditional, it can be pinched off manually or scalded with warm boiled water.

Rice has six stamens, and it is generally necessary to wait for all six stamens of the plant to grow. Otherwise, you have to go again after going once, and repeating the work will only increase the workload of the experiment.

With so many experimental plants, it is impossible for rice plants to grow at exactly the same rate. The stamens are all grown out and are divided into front and back. The tenants can only be allowed to shuttle back and forth in the rice fields to check, and the emasculation and bagging will be carried out first. There is no long complete one, wait and get it again. However, the flowering period will not exceed 30 days, and the difference between the stamens before and after growth will not be too long, but these days are harder.

Wang Shu sat on the ridge and personally watched the work of the tenants. When it comes to the results of the experiment, it is inevitable that it will be a little harsh.

The tenants were accustomed to her harshness in the matter, and had no complaints. On the contrary, Peony and Lily of the Valley were a little surprised, but they didn't expect Xiaojun, who looked kind and angry on weekdays, to be so strict with the work in the field, as if he had changed his person.

The task of de-emasculating was heavy, and Wang Shu planted three rice seeds in the experimental area, and only half of them were completed until dark. She wanted them to get things done in one go, but she couldn't ignore the lighting conditions in ancient times.

When it was getting dark, Wang Shu sighed and asked the tenants to get up early tomorrow. She herself went to a watermelon field.
