Xiang Tao's words were extremely sincere and beautiful, which made people feel comfortable listening to them, at least this was the case for Yan Shiqing and Mrs. Ruan.
"Um!"
Yan Shiqing didn't say anything about whether it was okay or not, she just nodded, responded softly, and then looked at Xuezhi.
Xuezhi was still a little afraid of her. When she saw her looking at him, she said out of breath: "Cousin Xiangtao and I mean the same thing!"
Yan Shiqing's mouth curled up slightly when she heard this: "There are two sisters in Xiangtao's family. If she comes to help, it would be okay if Xiangxing is busy at home. Xuezhi, you are the only one in your family. If you want to come out,
, isn't there no one to do the work at home? How can I be so selfish, just to have some leisure time for myself, so that your family's affairs are piled up. I thought about it, you'd better go back, at most I'll just be busy here.
That’s all.”
Hearing this, Xiangtao knew that Sister Shiqing had left her behind, and she immediately looked happy.
This shows that Sister Shiqing is actually willing to get close to her.
Xuezhi bit her lower lip tightly, her face uncertain.
She really shouldn't have listened to Mrs. Liang and come here today.
First, in the field, she failed to build a good image for herself, but was ridiculed a lot. Then here, she didn't even let her in, and let her leave, and she said it in such a high-sounding way, in order not to let her in.
Delaying her family affairs.
Why was it different from what she thought and what Liang expected?
Having said that, she must not be able to stay.
But if we just go back like this, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
Thinking of this, Xuezhi cast her hopeful eyes on Mrs. Ruan.xdw8
Now her hope is grandma. If grandma can ask her to stay, then she will have reason to stay.
Yan Shiqing followed her gaze, curled her lips, and said to Mrs. Ruan: "Grandma, I have something to discuss with you. Xiangtao, you can come too!"
Hearing this, Xuezhi shed two lines of clear tears from the corners of her eyes, but pretended to be calm and said: "If you have anything to do, just get busy first. I guess the people from the Jiang Mansion are coming to collect the elephant gall bladders soon, so I have to go back and prepare!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, but her back was straight!
Xuezhi is Mrs. Ruan's biological granddaughter after all, so she couldn't bear to see this.
Just when she was about to call someone, Xiangtao said: "Grandma, Zhizhi is spoiled. She always thinks that no matter what happens, there will be someone to stand in front of her, and everything will go smoothly. Let her suffer a little loss today.
Okay, let her wake up and don't always think so. If she goes back, go back and don't call her. She will come today, but she is not really here to help. I heard her say it was Mrs. Liang who called her.
of."
Mrs. Ruan was really disgusted with Mr. Liang, and her already softened heart suddenly stopped after hearing Xiang Tao's words.
Hearing this, Yan Shiqing looked at Xiang Tao and saw the latter blinking at her, and immediately looked at her differently.
This girl is quite smart. She knows that she doesn't like Xuezhi, and she is afraid that Mrs. Ruan will keep someone else. She can't reject it in person. She is afraid that there will be a grudge between her and Mrs. Ruan, so she said this.
Xiangtao saw a hint of approval in Yan Shiqing's eyes, and her heart became even more joyful. She hurriedly took Mrs. Ruan's hand and looked at her: "Sister Shiqing, you just said you have something to discuss with us, what is it about?"
Yan Shiqing waved to the two of them, then entered the kitchen, pointed to a bag next to the stove and said: "This potato is only found in Hongwu Kingdom. I want to try growing it myself. But I am busy now, so I
I can't take care of it. Grandma, take the peaches and help me take care of them. As soon as they all sprout, go to Feng Jun. He promised to help me plant them. You follow him and learn more. Let's go back to our villagers in Ruanjiakeng.
Whether you can have enough to eat depends on these things on the ground."
Potatoes can be used as food or as vegetables. Few people from the countryside can grow vegetables.
Yan Shiqing didn't trust anyone else. She hadn't finished the matter yet. To keep it a secret, she thought it would be most appropriate to leave it to the person in front of her.
Whether Xiangtao can gain her full trust depends on her own performance.
As for Mrs. Ruan, I always have to find something for her to do, which saves her from having to run to the homestead to work all the time, which is too tiring at her age.
Mrs. Ruan and Xiang Tao first looked at the bag of things on the ground and didn't pay much attention to it. But when they heard about Hong Wu Guocai, their eyes became serious.
When they heard Yan Shiqing say that the people in Ruanjiakeng would depend on these things to have enough food in the future, they thought that the people in Yangjia Village, and even Jifeng Town, would depend on these things to have enough food. They suddenly felt that they had a heavy responsibility.
"Don't worry, Qing'er/Sister Shiqing, I will definitely take good care of you!"
"Grandma, Feng Jun is going to visit the land in the village later to see where it is suitable for planting. You go with the peaches and help take care of it later. No matter which piece of land it is, you are responsible for discussing it with the owner.
See if you can rent it to us or sell it to us. Of course, if you can sell it for the best, it will save a lot of trouble."
"Okay, don't worry, Qing'er. By the way, do you mean to let it germinate? I have a way to induce germination. You can go about your own business and leave this place to me and Taozi!"
Yan Shiqing thought about it for a while, fearing that the two of them would have random thoughts in their spare time, so she said: "Grandma, I'm going to the town tomorrow to buy some red paper and cloth. You and Xiangtao are good at craftsmanship, so let's build the house at home.
In the past, when you had free time, you cut some things, and we will post them on the windows of our new home later. There are also new clothes and other items, and we will wear them on the day we move."
Xiangtao Tingyan Shiqing really assigned herself a task this time, and then she really started to enjoy herself.
She knew what Yan Shiqing was talking about about the potatoes, so she just helped out. In fact, she did nothing most of the time. After all, it took a long time before they sprouted, and even if they were planted, they didn't have to soak in the ground every day.
But cutting paper and tailoring clothes for a new home is different. It is really busy.
Those entering the third courtyard have a larger house and more rooms, so they should need more paper-cutting. In this way, there will be work to do every day.
At a certain inn in An County, Chu Ximo took a note from Zhai. After reading it, he destroyed it with a cold face.
"How are you preparing?"
"Return to the master, you can close the net at any time!"
"Over there?"
“I don’t know yet!”
"Act according to the plan, this time only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!"
Lin Yousen is so bold. He dared to secretly mine the iron ore from Chu Kingdom and sell it to Hongwu Kingdom. He didn't know what to say!
My uncle also said that Qingqing had developed some kind of pressurized water well. If it could be successful, the entire Chu Kingdom would definitely need more iron when it was promoted in the future. He would never allow this to benefit the people and the country.
A hint of damage may occur.
If the iron ore leaks out, resulting in shortages, the domestic price in Dachu will be driven up. The people or the government will not have the financial resources to do it. Even if there is a pressurized water well, it will not be able to fully promote it, and it will be useless.
Furthermore, the Great Chu State needs to develop and be able to compete with the Hongwu State, instead of draining its own iron ore to prepare weapons for them and still being watched with eager eyes.
