Next to Dianchi Lake, Huo Xixin acquired the manor.
Huo Xizhen changed the name of the garden in vain to "Deyuan", which is simple and easy to remember. It means, yes, the garden in vain.
"Not nice?"
"It sounds nice, it's important to know how nice it is. Madam is the one who knows how to name it!" Vanilla nodded repeatedly, looking at her son Rouge's name, Lu Yanzhi, it sounds so nice, both big and small names are nice.
"Whatever you choose, madam, sounds good to you." Qiu Shuang and Dongxue both made faces at her.
"Doesn't it sound good?" Vanilla asked the two of them. Huo Xi also looked at them.
The two girls smiled and said, "Hey, madam, it sounds good, but look, outside there are either Liu Cuiyuan, Qiyun Xiaozhu, Jinxiaju or something like that. Isn't it too easy to get a garden?"
It doesn't show the nobility of the Crown Prince's wife, and it always feels too straightforward.
"You don't understand, Deyuan sounds so nice and elegant. Right? If you don't believe me, just ask Zhufeng." Vanilla disagreed.
"Let's ask Zhufeng? Who knows that you and he sleep on the same pillow, and he still talks to you?"
"No, we don't sleep on the same pillow. He sleeps on a hard porcelain pillow, and my wife and I like soft pillows equally. We each sleep on our own."
Qiu Shuang and Dongxue laughed at her for being shameless, and several people trembled. From the name of the garden to the pillows, the building became more and more crooked.
Huo Xi glanced at Zhufeng and saw that he was calm and unmoved. He stood there with his sword in his arms, unable to be blown by the wind, like a stone sculpture.
He and Grandma Ma looked at each other and laughed. She looked up at the plaque that had just been hung up and was very satisfied.
Her man's handwriting is still beautiful, and the more he looks at it, the better it looks.
"Let's go, let's see how the wheat is growing in the fields." Huo Xi said without looking back.
"Here we come!" Several girls trotted after him.
After two days of walking around, Huo Xi had already visited the whole manor. From the head of the village to every manager, all the managers were replaced by their own people. If one day she and Mu Yan return to the capital, who knows if they will still be the same managers.
In the end, this manor was not hers.
For such a big garden, there are two hectares of farmland alone.
There are mountains, lakes, various gardens, orchards, tea gardens, and mulberry gardens in the garden. There are several places in the yard. Originally, people from the Mu Mansion loved to come to this garden to enjoy the scenery, and would come and stay for a few days during their free time. Occasionally, they would also lend it to others.
A banquet was held by a well-connected family.
The scenery changes throughout the year and is breathtakingly beautiful.
Who wouldn't be moved after seeing it?
"No wonder Wushi wants to dance. Such a big and beautiful garden wants me to do the same." Huo Xi walked leisurely and admired the scenery of the garden.
"Of course such a good garden should be reserved for the direct descendants. Our little Yu'er is the eldest grandson." Aunt Ma has never seen a noble woman, and the Jun family and the Wushi family are not in her eyes.
"Thanks to Grandma Ma for following me this time and giving me guidance. Otherwise, I would be exhausted just dealing with the women in the house. There would be no time to watch the scenery. Grandma knows that I am most impatient to deal with the backyard.
Those things. If I have the time, I would rather count the beads in the backyard of the shop and think of some ways to make money."
Mother Ma smiled. She had always been lucky to meet such a straightforward lady, "Madam, as long as I don't mind my old slave."
"How old is Nanny? Nanny is not old at all. Nanny is just a few years older than my mother. She has been by my side all these years, giving me advice, just like my adopted mother."
"Madam..." Mother Ma was so excited that her throat was a little choked.
"Although I encountered some twists and turns when I was young, I met some good and noble people." Huo Xi sighed with emotion.
"Mom can no longer work anymore and doesn't want to go out to care for you, so I will place you in the yard closest to me. I will visit you every day, talk to you, and care for you in your old age."
"Okay. I won't leave the girl until the old slave can't do it anymore." He took a step behind Huo Xi and quietly pressed the handkerchief to the corner of his eyes.
"I won't leave the girl either." "Me too, me too."
When the master and servants saw the new plaque for the garden being delivered this morning, they went to see the plaque and returned to the field stem.
Huo Xi came to the village head and asked, "Can the wheat be planted in two days?"
"It's possible. Madam has called a lot of people to help. In two days, wheat will be planted in the fields."
The new head of the village was eager to show off in front of Huo Xi and said respectfully, "It's just that in previous years, everyone harvested rice, and the fields were idle, and they never planted wheat."
There are very few people growing wheat in Yunnan. I wonder if it is possible to have two seasons like this?
Ever since Mrs. Shizi told him to prepare wheat seeds and said that after the rice harvest, wheat should be planted in the ground immediately. From now on, he would have to plant two crops a year, and he was worried.
Although he has been dealing with the land all his life, he has never grown food for two seasons.
Huo Xi comforted her voice and said: "I know that the japonica rice grown in the fields here is harvested once a year. The people also like to eat rice. After the rice is harvested, most of the fields are idle. But in the Jiangnan area, it has long been
We have two crops in a year. Here, we harvest grain in August, plant wheat in November, and then plant rice when it matures in March of the following year. Two crops in a year can be achieved. It is not necessary to increase the harvest of more grains.
Okay?"
"Okay, how can it be bad! If it can be harvested twice a year, how many people can be fed? The prince will not have to worry about the lack of food for the army. But, this has never been planted before, and the land does not need to be raised? Yes.
Aren’t you lacking in fertility?”
"If the fertility is insufficient, top-dress the soil. There is also time to cultivate the land. I know you are literate. My grandfather has been dealing with crops for many years and has quite a lot of experience. He has written some high-yield methods. I will give you a copy later. Please read carefully.
Do some research. If the food in Zhuangzi can be doubled in the coming year, the prince and I will be richly rewarded."
"Thank you, madam! Is this Mr. Li who once served as a priest in the Imperial College?" Zhuangtou was a little excited.
"Yes, that's my grandfather."
"Okay, I will think carefully about the method of high yield and grow two crops of food!"
"Very good." In order to encourage him, Huo Xi asked Xianghua to give him a reward of five taels of silver. "If there is anything undecided, send someone to look for me."
"Yes, thank you madam."
He followed Huo Xi respectfully around the garden and reported everything to Huo Xi in detail...
In the Duke of Guizhou's mansion, Mrs. Jun is receiving her old mother who is visiting.
"Qiluo, please advise your eldest brother. Zhang's shop has received a lot of goods these days, and I heard that he bought a large yard as a warehouse to store all kinds of goods. After hearing this, your eldest brother was so angry that he smashed cups and bowls in the house every day.
I need to vent my anger." Junhua shook her head and sighed.
"Aren't the prices charged by our Jun's shop higher than hers?"
"Originally, it was only a penny, and everyone sold the goods to our house, but now everyone doesn't like the price of that penny. They all send it to Guangfeng Water Shop."
"Then big brother's place..."
"Your elder brother is so angry. He has been setting up a trap for so many days and is about to destroy Zhang. How can he see her turn around again? He just said that he would raise the price to two or three cents. I don't believe those untouchables.
I don't like it. But, Qiluo, these days, just receiving goods and competing in the ring with Zhang, the money in the family account has almost been exhausted."
Jun Qiluo was a little surprised: "So much money was spent?"
"No. Your eldest brother originally wanted to unite with other merchants to bankrupt Zhang, so that she would not be able to do business in Kunming City, so that he could vent his anger on Zhan'er."
Junhua didn't say a word about the grudge between her eldest son and Mu Yan, and only said to make Mu Zhan angry.
"I never thought that the money in our account would be at the bottom now. You don't know how many goods have been collected in the shop these days, and they are piled up in the warehouse like a mountain! I don't know when your eldest brother will stop. That surnamed Zhang
Yes, I managed to hold on for so long without falling."
