Xiao Yanxing came over for the first time, and looked at these people laughing so much that they couldn't see their teeth, and he was still a little puzzled.

Since Wang Shu told him about his experimental plan last time, Xiao Yanxing has deliberately paid attention to the situation here. I rarely found time, so I came over and saw for myself.

Regardless of the results of the experimental field, the first thing Xiao Yanxing did after learning everything from Wang Shu was to block the news of this area. Fortunately, Wang Shu has only been in the county for more than two years, and her actions in and out on weekdays are also very low-key. Very few people have set foot in the northern suburbs, and there are almost no people who have noticed the high grain yield of this farmland. At the same time, Xiao Yanxing deliberately blocked the news, and now no matter who comes here to investigate, he can't find out what Wang Shu is doing here.

"What are you happy about?" When Xiao Yan walked over, Wang Shu squatted on the ridge with a grin and said goodbye to God.

Xiao Yanxing was amused by her, tilted his head and watched her worship the sky for a long time.

After Wang Shu thanked the gods of all parties, he turned his head and asked people to guard this area closely. Mainly to prevent pests and diseases. Late June to early July is the heading period of rice, and special attention should be paid to planthopper disease in rice during the heading period. Generally speaking, rice in East Asia breeds three types of rice planthoppers depending on the region, temperature, and environment. Brown planthoppers, white-backed planthoppers, gray planthoppers.

The brown planthopper is a southerly species, which is seriously harmful in the Yangtze River basin and its southern areas. The white-backed planthopper is a species that spans widely to the south, and is second only to the brown planthopper in terms of pestfulness. The planthopper is a widespread, northern-span species.

Rice in Liangzhou is the most susceptible to planthoppers. And the gray planthopper is a species that can overwinter, and it is difficult to control it. The best time to control planthoppers is generally in April, or even earlier, when necessary. The peak infestation caused by planthoppers is from late June to early July.

In fact, pests and diseases have appeared in Wang Shu's experimental field, and they have appeared a long time ago. The fields are roasted in advance and insecticide sprayed before the rice seedlings are planted, so that the eggs hidden in the soil die of lack of oxygen. However, roasting the field in advance does not mean that you can sit back and relax in the later stage, and you have to monitor it closely.

After all, this area is too precious, if it is destroyed halfway, Wang Shu will really vomit three liters of blood.

"New high-yielding traits are emerging here!"

Xiao Yanxing: "? ”

"There is a character with the stigma exposed! Do you know what that means? Wang Shu was so excited that she couldn't control her emotions, and rushed over and shook Xiao Yanxing's hand.

Xiao Yanxing hadn't gotten Wang Shu's initiative to get close to him for a long time, and he was caught by his hand at this time, and he was inexplicably flattered.

“…… What does it represent? He remained silent.

"It means that if this trait can be preserved, the yield can be doubled!" Wang Shu's eyes were bright with excitement, and her face was flushed, "Double!" Do you know! ”

"Well, that's great." He quietly glanced at Wang Shu's hand holding his hand. I don't know what she fished in the paddy field just now, and she still has a lot of mud and muddy marks on her hands. Xiao, who was very clean, suddenly stiffened, but he still couldn't help but didn't pull his hand.

After a pause, he asked again, "What is the exposed stigma?" ”

Sure enough, after he asked, Wang Shu told him the theory of plant pollination.

Wang Shu didn't care that Xiao Yanxing had no foundation in biology and genetics, and the professional vocabulary was popping up one by one. Xiao Yanxing was originally happy to hear it, but Wang Shu was willing to say that he was willing to listen. However, this person's natural comprehension ability is too strong, Wang Shu explained it in a more vivid and down-to-earth way, and he was stunned to understand it all.

“…… So, if you want to keep this feature, you have to continue a dozen experiments? ”

Xiao Yanxing didn't speak very skillfully, but the meaning was clear.

"Yes." Wang Shu nodded, "At least after more than eight generations of directional experiments, a trait can be stabilized." ”

More than eight generations?

Grain crops north of the Yellow River are basically harvested once a year, and if you want to iterate eight times, it means that it will take at least eight years. Xiao Yanxing looked up at the green rice fields in front of him, and turned his head to look at Wang Shu, with an indescribable appreciation in his eyes. To be able to sink down and take root in such a difficult environment, and to do boring and tiring work year after year...... He is worthy of the person he likes.

"Do you need me to give you more men?" Xiao Yanxing let Wang Shu hold his slender and white fingers, raised his eyes and looked around. There are about a dozen people working in this farmland. Listening to Wang Shu's tone, these jobs are actually quite delicate. More people are better to operate.

"No, not so many people for the time being." A large number of people can indeed be well arranged, but a large number of people is also easy to get distracted.

Doing experiments is the most taboo and complicated, and too many things will not produce good results.

Xiao Yanxing was not reluctant, he looked down and looked at his hand that had been blackened by muddy water. Wang Shu didn't realize that he was grabbing someone's hand and wiped a hand of mud on him. Since she noticed that the rice in this area has a high-yield shape, she has inexplicably gained more confidence in the rice in other areas. If you can see other good shapes, you naturally need to make arrangements.

Wang Shu scurried around in the test field with full passion, squatting on the ridge of the field, and lying down to watch. Xiao Yanxing stood on the ridge and watched, but she saw her sincere love. After a while, he also squatted down to observe the rice that Wang Shu was taking care of.

Although he understood Wang Shu's words, he couldn't compare them with the real thing. After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see the difference with other rice.

Wang Shu happily wandered around the experimental field all day. Xiao Yanxing had too many things at hand, and there was not much time to spare. After seeing Wang Shu again, he immediately went back to Xiao's house.

The Xiao family has moved back to their original house. There are many courtyards, and now the only three remaining concubines do not have to be crowded together. One of them picked a courtyard and lived their lives behind closed doors. The slaves and maidservants who were put into official slavery, who were not sold or taken away, have now returned. Most of the dowries and private rooms of the concubines were also returned.

The days have returned to their previous calm, there are fewer people, and the back house is cleaner.

Mei and Liu have completely fought each other since they scratched their cheeks, and they will not reconcile when they are idle. Instead, the Yang family became a sweetheart, and both of them wanted to pull her into their camp. In this way, two against one, if there is anything in the future, it will not suffer.

The Mei family and the Liu family fought for the Yang family, and Liu Ruhui once again received a letter from Liu Ruyan in the capital.

Liu Ruyan suddenly handed her money a few days ago, and then she would send it every other day. After two or three times, the habit of the two sisters to write letters was preserved. Liu Ruyan never confided in anyone when she was a child, but since she was exposed by Liu Ruhui for the first time, she became calm after that. If there is any distress and confusion in my heart, I will write to inform Liu Ruhui.

Liu Ruhui's feelings for Liu Ruyan's sister are also very complicated. not only hates the eye medicine she took in front of her parents when she was young, but also cares about the sisterhood of the blood connection. looked at Liu Ruyan's jokes like this, and was sincerely annoyed that she was stunned by Gu Fei.

"Something that doesn't make a difference! Die or live for a man! I'm still scheming with you, and I'm going to be a master in the future! Liu Ruhui couldn't help but scold while reading the letter, until she closed her mouth in a daze when she saw the last sentence.

In the letter, Liu Ruyan asked her about Wang Shu, and she wanted Liu Ruhui to get rid of Wang Shu.

Liu Ruyan always believed that it was Wang Shu who prevented her from rebuilding the old friendship with Gu Fei.

She thought about it, pondering over and over again the difference between this life and the last. Later, I found out that the only difference in this life is that Wang Shu, the person Gu Fei once loved, is still alive. Because that cheap woman was still alive, Gu Fei's eyes couldn't see others. Because Wang Shu has been alive all her life, Gu Fei will feel that her entanglement is an interruption.

Liu Ruyan privately admits that Wang Shu is indeed beautiful, and she is more agile than her own sister. But how beautiful and agile it is? It's just a merchant girl from a humble background and a bad brain. has no father and mother, and the family business has been occupied by her stepmother, and her life is as simple as pinching an ant to death.

Liu Ruhui looked at Liu Ruyan's hint in the letter and slowly narrowed her eyes.

Her sister is as vicious as ever in her bones!

Liu Ruhui's impression of Wang Shu is also not very good. From the first time she saw this merchant girl, she had a strong sense of crisis. Originally, she was the most beautiful person in the entire Xiao Mansion, but when Wang Shu came, she had to be equal to others. At the same time, Wang Shu is younger than her, and she has fallen behind in this regard, and Liu Ruhui has a natural rejection of Wang Shu.

But this rejection is not enough for her to ask for Wang Shu's life, after all, whether they are favored or not in the back house, the good things that His Royal Highness gives them are no less than anyone's. Again, Wang Shu is also the most important concubine of His Royal Highness. If she doesn't move Wang Shu for a long time, His Royal Highness will definitely take action to rectify her when he knows about it......

However, Liu Ruhui looked at the sentence in the letter: "I heard that the eldest prince intends to take the jade butterfly from the two concubines in the old people, if there is one less opponent, the possibility of my sister being raised as a side concubine is also greater." ”

I have to say that Liu Ruyan knows how to control her mind. This sentence says red. naked, which happened to hit what Liu Ruhui cared about the most.

Of the positions of these two side concubines, one of them must be Yang's.

Yang's father made a lot of efforts to promote the restoration of His Royal Highness's identity this time, and united all the courtiers to force the emperor to compromise. No one can replace this achievement. Despite the gloomy and unpleasant nature of the Yang family, her father's exploits supported her. The position of another side concubine will inevitably be chosen between her, the Mei family, and the only favored Wang Shu.

Although the Liu family also contributed, Liu Ruhui knew her father, and there must be reservations between actions. Her father is an old fox who knows the way of officialdom well, and he is used to doing things according to the direction of the wind. As soon as they see that the situation is not right, they will definitely withdraw faster than anyone else. Therefore, even if he supports His Highness, most of the time the attitude shown is neutral. Therefore, the credit of the Liu family must not be comparable to that of the Yang family.

At the mention of this, Liu Ruhui couldn't help but want to cry. If her father was willing to think more about her future, why would she be reduced to fighting with Mei and Wang Shu?

But no matter how angry she is, she wants the position of side concubine.

Liu Ruhui knew that she did not have the advantage of beauty in front of Xiao Yanxing, and His Royal Highness did not fancy the woman's appearance at all. Her only strength is that she is good at poetry. But His Royal Highness is so busy that he rarely returns to the mansion, let alone has such idle time to fight against her poetry.

In this way, her advantage is not reflected at all. Then there is no other way to do it.

She looked at Liu Ruyan's letter again, and there was a vicious fire in her heart that burned her heart, liver and lungs. Liu Ruyan is a slut! She viciously dragged her into the water, and she had already seen through her posture and instructed her to harm others, did she really think she was very smart?!

Hesitating in her heart, Liu Ruhui threw the letter into the drawer fiercely.

Although Liu Ruhui didn't make up her mind to harm people, she was still involuntarily led away by Liu Ruyan. She obviously knew Liu Ruyan's sinister intentions, but she still couldn't control herself to investigate Wang Shu's traces. Wang's person shouldn't have really run away, right? Since he disappeared into Xiao's house one day last year, he hasn't come back for more than a year.

Like Wen Ruyi, Wen Ruyi also disappeared in the backyard of Xiao Mansion carelessly, and then completely lost this person.

Liu Ruhui wondered where Wang Shu had gone, and Mama Yuan was also persuading Wang Shu to move back to Xiao's house.

As Mama Jiang said, Mama Yuan also thinks that Wang Shu can't live outside with her children all the time. After all, the two little masters are serious royal bloodlines, so they should enjoy the dignity and glory that royal bloodlines should enjoy. Wang Shu has not shown up for so long, and the identity of the child has not been disclosed. This is not only bad for Wang Shu's own status, but also bad for the two children.

"As soon as the prince and grandson are born, they should be on the Jade Butterfly." Mama Yuan persuaded bitterly, "With the royal approval, the things that belong to them will be delivered on time every year." As the eldest son, the honor that the little master should give is an indispensable thing. ”

Wang Shu didn't think that the ancient concubine and the elder identity had different meanings. She knows the difference between concubines and concubines, after all, she is the original concubine, and when she was a child, she was in front of her father, and Wang Xuanzhi's treatment was very different. But she always felt that the concubines were almost the same, and now after Mama Yuan's explanation, she knew that the identity of the eldest grandson was also very important.

Among the royal heirs, there are also concubines, but they are not as clear as ordinary families. After all, throughout the ages, there have been many princes who have ascended to the throne. Therefore, the prince who came out of the concubine is also the same honorable. Therefore, the identity of Xiao Junheng, the eldest grandson, is also extremely crucial.

Wang Shu didn't want her children to participate in the struggle for the throne, she just wanted her children to live freely. She has family wealth, connections and children's fathers, so she doesn't have to live so tired. Being a rich and idle king in the future is the best result.

Thinking so, Wang Shu said what she thought.

Mama Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "What Xiaojun thinks is good, but Xiaojun has thought about it." You don't want to fight, others want to fight. The little boy has already taken up the identity of the eldest son, if the little prince does not give the glory he deserves. In the future, it will be easy for others to attack the little boy? ”

Wang Shu's heart thumped, and she looked up at Mama Yuan.

"Xiaojun, the most sinister thing in this world is the human heart."

Mama Yuan was a person who fought in the deep palace in her early years, and her words were straight to the point: "If you want to save your own life and your child's life, if you don't stand in a high position, there is no room for resistance at all." The people in the capital don't bully you because they don't see your kindness. You must know that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. I met that vicious method, and all the pickled methods you haven't seen have come here......"

Mama Yuan didn't mention the filthy things that Xiao Yanxing encountered in his childhood, His Royal Highness really paid too much to live to this age.

Wang Shu naturally knew it in her heart, but maybe it was as Xiao Yanxing said. She knows the world, but she is not deeply involved in the world. thought that everyone in the world was as trustworthy as her, and they were all honest and shameful and knew how to advance and retreat. always feels that she has chosen a corner of safety, not to deliberately provoke those people, and then to show an attitude of not valuing those things in a timely manner, and those people will ignore her existence.

Or simply cut open the mask and put it bluntly, it is to let her go.

But in order to put an end to all future troubles, the really ruthless people often use the means of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, leaving no hidden dangers.

“…… I see. Wang Shu was silent for a long time and understood Mama Yuan's kindness.

As soon as these two children were born, some things were doomed. The bloodline and identity are something he can't escape in his life. Unless Xiao Yanxing used all means to conceal the fact that this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses was his blood and bones, he would not be able to escape the dispute. Xiao Fengmian is fine, but Xiao Junheng's milk doll ...... It can be said that it is impossible to return to the mountains and forests with her in this life.

Wang Shu let out a long breath, it seemed that he still had to consult with Xiao Yanxing.

If the existence of the two children is to be made public, Wang Shu's existence will naturally not be hidden. So when Xiao Yanxing's study door was pushed open by Wang Shu, he was not surprised at all. Regarding the identity of the two children, Xiao Yanxing's solution is to let Wang Shu canonize the side concubine. Put the names of the two children directly under her name.

Wang Shu thought for a moment and agreed.

Although she is naïve, she is not weak. Aware of the existence of the problem, she will naturally step up to solve the problem.

"Rest assured, you can continue to do what you want. If you don't want to live in the Xiao Mansion, you can live in the Wang family. Xiao Yanxing knew the concerns in Wang Shu's heart, and said intimately, "With me, no one can question you." ”

"......" Wang Shu's heart moved, not to mention, what he said was quite nice.

What Xiao Yanxing said was not empty words, he did what he said.

In fact, Xiao Yanxing's identity has long been restored, and Liangzhou and the area north of it are his fiefdoms. The quota of 10,000 elite soldiers promised by the imperial court was also given. It can be said that the entire northwest territory has completely fallen into the hands of Xiao Yanxing.

Of course, while the emperor was forced to promise 10,000 private soldiers, he also gave him a difficult task - that is, to be responsible for guarding the border in the northwest of Daqing.

For Xiao Yanxing, this is within the scope of self-identified responsibilities. Naturally, the promise was unambiguous. These are not the point, the point is that the northwest has completely fallen into the hands of Xiao Yanxing, to put it mildly, he is the king of a small feudal country. With him and his protection, Wang Shu can do whatever he wants.

However, Xiao Yanxing announced the two candidates for Concubine Feng, and the hand in Liu Ruhui's sleeve clenched into the palm of his hand in an instant.

Liu Ruhui didn't make a fuss on the spot, but when she returned to her yard, she smashed a set of favorite cups. The position of the two side concubines, one was given to the Yang family, which was not as she expected. But the other one she really didn't expect was given to Wang Shu.

Why did you give it to Wang Shu! She didn't understand.

Although Liu Ruhui originally included Wang Shu in the list of competitors, she did not take this woman seriously. After all, His Royal Highness is not a child and daughter, and he has always been fair and strict. According to the contributions made by each family to His Royal Highness's restoration of his or her identity this time, what should happen to this other side concubine should be between her and the Mei family. As a result, she didn't have anything with Mei's, and inexplicably fell on the head of Wang Shu's merchant girl!

"It's funny!" Liu Ruhui was so angry that she didn't choose to speak, "Your Highness is such a calm and self-contained person, but he will actually be confused by the Wang family's slut!" What kind of trickery does that slut have, why are two men fascinated by her! ”

She went crazy in the house, and was so frightened that the souls of the maids around her were about to fly. Rushed over and covered her mouth.

"Master, master, don't shout nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears......" The maid has had enough of the humiliation in the teaching workshop, and it is like a dream to be able to return to the Xiao Mansion. They cherish today's days very much, and they are really afraid that they will be tossed away by a few nonsense words from their masters.

Of course Liu Ruhui also knew, but she was so angry! At boiling point!

"I'm not convinced! I'm not convinced! Liu Ruhui's palms were bleeding, "She is not worthy of the Wang family!" She's not worthy of the Wang clan at all! ”

Liu Ruhui, who was still hesitant about Liu Ruyan instigating her to harm Wang Shu, suddenly strengthened her determination at this moment, she wanted this Wang family to die!
