Chapter 238 Mrs. Tongzhi’s praise:
“The book that the eldest lady read was so useful. I asked the nuns on the village to buy a new batch of rice seeds according to the eldest lady’s instructions and replant the seedlings, but the nearby farmers didn’t listen. Big girl. Now the seedlings on my farm are fine and green, but the farmers are very anxious. The seedlings are lodging, turning yellow, and dying in patches. The seedlings are almost It won’t work!”
Although it took a lot of effort to replace the seedlings, it was really worth it to save the seedlings and the hope for this year!
After listening to Mrs. Tongzhi's description, Yun's face showed a surprised expression at first, and then a deep smile.
She was originally worried that something would go wrong and cause trouble to Mrs. Tongzhi, but she didn't expect Ruo'er to have such ability.
Seeing Mrs. Tongzhi's happy expression, Yun's mood also improved.
Mrs. Tongzhi continued: "I also heard that many villages near Fucheng have suffered from rice seedlings recently. They did not listen to the eldest girl's advice to plant new rice seedlings. Now the rice seedlings are growing, turning yellow, withered and lodging, and now It’s already mid-April, so I’m afraid it’s too late to plant rice seedlings.”
The rice seeds currently planted in Taizhou Prefecture are sown and raised earlier. They are sown before the Qingming Festival and raised for forty days, in late March of the lunar calendar. Planting has begun.
Now that we have entered mid-April, there is still no time to sow seeds and go through the forty-day seedling raising period.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun was also surprised, because her eldest daughter helped purchase the rice seeds for their family this year. Now the rice seedlings in the field are growing just right without any problems, so she didn't know that such a thing would happen.
So Yun asked: "Is the situation very bad?"
Mrs. Tongzhi said: "Those who didn't listen must have suffered from the rice seedlings. However, there are also some people who listened to the advice and planted new seedlings in advance. Now they see the old seedlings appearing. If there is a problem, it's still too late to replace it."
After hearing this, Yun thought of the village she passed by when she went to the Xu family farm that day. It seemed that her daughter had a dispute with those farmers over this matter.
It seems that those farmers who were angry with their daughters are now in trouble.
Thinking about this, Mrs. Yun didn't sympathize with the farmers at all. Her daughter tried to persuade them but they refused to listen. Now she has no one to blame for the damage.
"So the eldest lady has really helped me a lot!" Mrs. Tongzhi praised Wei Ruo again.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun felt happy in her heart, and she hurriedly said humbly: "Ruo'er also got into this accident by mistake, and she is lucky to be able to help."
Wei Ruo came back from Tianqin Garden, just entered the door, and was about to look back. Meiyuan was stopped by Cuiping, who was sent by the Yun family to wait for Wei Ruo.
Cuiping informed Wei Ruo that Mrs. Tongzhi was here and wanted to see her by name, asking her to go to Cangyun Garden immediately.
Wei Ruo didn't say anything and followed Cuiping to Cangyun Garden.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Mrs. Tongzhi standing up to greet her.
"Big girl." Mrs. Tongzhi called Wei Ruo with a gentle and kind face.
"Hello, Mrs. Xu." Wei Ruo bowed slightly.
"Girl, you don't have to be polite."
Mrs. Tongzhi took Wei Ruo's hand and sat down aside.
"The eldest lady has just come back from studying. She must be tired. Wouldn't it be too tiring for you to come over and accompany me?" Mrs. Tongzhi asked.
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Wei Ruodao, "I wonder what the madam wants from me? Is it for the loquat ointment?" "The loquat ointment is also one of the reasons. I dare not forget what my old lady has told me thousands of times. But I There is another more important purpose of this trip, which is to thank the elder girl for asking me to prepare new seedlings last month." Mrs. Tongzhi said.
Wei Ruo was not surprised by Mrs. Tongzhi's two purposes. The loquat ointment given to Mrs. Xu last time was almost finished, and the seedlings had also fermented recently.
"Madam, don't worry, I just mentioned it and didn't do anything troublesome." Wei Ruodao.
"You can't say that. What you said to the eldest girl is something that many people can't do. Others didn't see the problem with the seedlings so quickly. Only the eldest girl has such ability. There were also people who discovered the problem later, but they all Later than the eldest girl, not as discerning as the eldest girl. The sooner this kind of thing is discovered, the better. It may be fatal in three to five days, not to mention that there are many people who have seen large areas of the seedlings die in these few days. I just found out, I really regret it."
Mrs. Tongzhi sighed, looking at Wei Ruo like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more she likes her.
Wei Ruo could only smile and said: "It's good if we can catch up. It's just the beginning of the new year. If the farming work for the next year is delayed because of this matter, it won't be uncomfortable for anyone." "That's the truth! Originally, last year's schedule was not planned
. Everyone is worried about the lack of good food harvest. It’s just the beginning of the new year, and if we continue to deal with it like this, everyone is going to feel anxious.” Mrs. Tongzhi agreed very much.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Tongzhi said: "I heard from the princess that the eldest girl is very knowledgeable about farming. At that time, I only heard about it. Now I see it with my own eyes. I know that what Mrs. Yuan said is true. The eldest girl is really knowledgeable. Many talents."
Wei Ruo was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Tongzhi's excessive enthusiasm.
"It's Mrs. Yuan who's being ridiculous. I only know a little bit about it." Wei Ruo didn't dare to say how proficient he was.
Mrs. Tongzhi and Wei Ruo talked eagerly, while Mrs. Yun was left alone.
Mrs. Tongzhi and Wei Ruo couldn't get involved in what Mrs. Tongzhi and Wei Ruo were saying, so they could only sit awkwardly aside and laugh together.
After Wei Ruo and Mrs. Tongzhi talked for a while, Mrs. Tongzhi reluctantly left. Before leaving, she gave Wei Ruo some gifts, two brocade boxes, but Wei Ruo did not open them on the spot.
In return, Wei Ruo gave her four jars of loquat paste and some tangerine peel tea.
This citrus peel tea is made by taking the dried citrus peels, marinating them with salt, and adding a few Chinese herbs. It can be made into tea to clear away heat and relieve throat discomfort.
Mrs. Tongzhi was supposed to pay Wei Ruo some silver, but Wei Ruodao's loquat ointment today was a gift in return for receiving Mrs. Tongzhi's gift. It was not for sale, and Mrs. Tongzhi was not polite to Wei Ruo if she didn't take the money.
After bidding farewell to Mrs. Tongzhi, Mrs. Yun said to Wei Ruo with a pleased look on her face: "Ruo'er, you have made a meritorious service again, and you have handled your relationship with Mrs. Tongzhi very well just now." Wei Ruo said calmly: "
Today I'm a little tired, so I went back to the house first."
It was obvious that Wei Ruo didn't want to say anything more to Yun.
Today, Wei Ruo is more straightforward than when he first came to Xiaowei's Mansion, and his attitude toward Yun is becoming more distant and indifferent. It is better when outsiders are around, but without outsiders, Wei Ruo behaves directly and clearly.
Someone in my family is suffering from yang and the fever won’t go away. I shouldn’t be able to escape. I’m a little nervous about yang during pregnancy.
You guys should also work hard. If you are not sunny, work hard to advance to the finals; if you are sunny, let’s work hard together.
