Chapter 214 Yu Wei
"Siju likes farming, doesn't he? Do you also look forward to growing all kinds of things, food, medicinal materials, flowers and plants, all of them, don't you?"

As the few people walked into the room, Ruan Yunsi talked to Ruan Siju very seriously. Seeing the excitement in his eyes and nodding his head vigorously, she smiled and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Daddy hopes that you will make progress in your studies. The low grade is only good at reading, but I believe in 360 lines to be the number one scholar. Cheng, since you like it, just let go and play. If you need anything, just come and tell my sister, as long as she can support you, my sister will definitely support you. Well, I Seeing that your backyard is not small, it’s just a bit desolate, why don’t you find a few servants to help you open up a few gardens someday, so how about letting you try planting those things?”

"Sister, are you serious? You... are you really willing to plant a garden for me?"

Ruan Siju's eyes almost stared out of their sockets, and he looked at Ruan Yunsi in disbelief, no wonder he was shocked, because of this weird hobby of this second master, it can be said that no one looked at him in the whole house, and now he suddenly met When it came to Ruan Yunsi, instead of scolding him and scolding him, she even supported him and opened a garden for him. How could this not surprise him inexplicably?
"Yeah, not only will you open the garden, but my sister will also buy you some seeds. However, don't look at farming as a simple matter. It seems that you can throw the seeds in the spring and harvest them in the fall. But there is also a lot of knowledge in it, What kind of soil is suitable for planting and what is not suitable for planting; which crops need to be watered more to grow faster? which ones must not be watered too much, otherwise they will be waterlogged; It’s all knowledge to make full use of a few gardens by farming. Did you know that in the south, some farmers have good control and can plant three crops on a piece of land, that is, after harvesting one crop, and then quickly planting One crop..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Siju said loudly: "Ah, I know that. Is it rice? I used to listen to those tenants chatting on the farm and said that rice matures the fastest. There are capable people in the south for a year." Planting three crops means that if others harvest [-] catties of grain a year, they can harvest [-] catties, which is a very profitable and good thing.”

Ruan Yunsi looked at Ruan Siju in surprise, she didn't expect this boy to be able to remember the chats of several tenants until now.Suddenly, her heart moved, and she thought secretly, wouldn't she?Could it be that my younger brother is actually an agricultural genius?My God, I can't even imagine it.

Seeing that Ruan Siju was in high spirits, she encouraged her while the iron was hot: "That's right, but this method can only be popularized after a lot of people's research and experimentation. So, don't underestimate the cultivation of the land. Okay, but it also requires a lot of knowledge. There are so many farmers in the world, some of them face the loess and their backs to the sky all their lives, and they can barely get enough food and clothing. Some people can easily become rich, so ah, the book It is true that there is a gold house in Zhongzi. If Siju is really interested in this, my sister will help you find books to read, and then take you to the countryside to communicate with those experienced farmers. At that time, although our Ruan family lost one Jinshi, we could have one more scholar in agriculture."

Ruan Siju's face flushed with excitement, he nodded vigorously, and said excitedly: "I have always heard people say that food is the most important thing for people since I was a child. I just thought that since food is indispensable for everyone, it is also very important It’s important. What’s the use of studying? If you are full of knowledge, you can gain a reputation as a talented scholar, but can this reputation be eaten? I just like farming, and I want to grow a lot of food so that people in the world will no longer suffer. Hungry. Once we need to fight, the emperor can easily collect a lot of rations, so that our soldiers can eat enough to fight those Tartars."

Ruan Yunsi nodded, touched Ruan Siju's head and said, "Father misjudged Siju, and everyone in the house misjudged you. Our Siju is a good boy with a world in mind and great ambitions. Your eldest brother is inferior, even stronger than him. Don't worry, my sister will support you and let you fulfill your wish."

It was the first time that Ruan Siju was praised as a good boy with lofty aspirations for the world, but he was always scolded for not doing his job properly, so his excited little face turned red.The maid serving him, Xiuhong, couldn't help but burst into tears, covered her face and cried bitterly: "How many years have I been serving the second master since I was a child, and I have never seen him so happy, woo woo woo... Third girl... ...Slaves...Slaves really don't know how to thank you..."

Ruan Yunsi stood up and said with a smile: "In the future, when you see him happy, there will be plenty of time, just afraid that he will annoy you so much, well, wipe away your tears, and find a new set of clothes for Siju to change into, and you too A set of clothes, Aunt Huang's birthday is today, these days in our mansion have been like a tight string, so I deliberately took this opportunity to let everyone relax, and you can accompany Siju to the banquet."

Ruan Siju twisted his body and whispered: "Sister, I don't want to go, those people's eyes make people uncomfortable."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "You want to be a university student in agriculture, and you can't even bear this kind of vision. What big achievements are you talking about? Let's go, follow behind my sister, whoever wants to watch it, you can take the opportunity Eat more food, grow taller, and keep your body healthy and strong. Otherwise, farming is physical work. You have a body like a chicken, and you can’t even carry a hoe. Still farming."

When Ruan Siju heard her sister say this, she agreed immediately, and Xiuhong was busy looking for new clothes for him. These years, because the child likes to play with mud, and the two of them had a difficult life, Xiuhong was very frugal. A few years ago She was reluctant to wear new clothes, and now there was a patch on her blue satin vest.

Ruan Yunsi saw that the clothes she brought out were all outdated styles and brocades, but fortunately they were very exquisitely made, so she asked with a smile: "You made all of this?" Seeing Xiuhong nodding, she nodded and said: "The craftsmanship It’s a good craftsmanship, but unfortunately the fabric is too ordinary, so all this painstaking effort was wasted. Forget it, I’ll send someone to tidy up this Siguo Pavilion tomorrow, and give you a few pieces of brocade to make a few sets of clothes.”

Xiuhong hurriedly said in panic: "No, no, the second master always plays with mud. It's a pity to wear brocade clothes..." Before she finished speaking, Ruan Yunsi said: "Of course you can't wear brocade to play with those, I will also send them to you." Come over with a few horses of Gebu and linen, and you will decide to make it for him. How much is the monthly salary of the two of you now? Is it enough to live? What is the standard for the meals in the kitchen? I think Siju is very thin. It can be seen that there is nothing good to eat on weekdays."

Fangcao saw that Xiuhong was still hesitant, so she smiled and said: "Don't think too much, our third girl is now entrusted by the son to take care of this back house. If you have any grievances, just tell her. Just say goodbye What you said about the satin cloth is true, the third girl is amazing, she runs a big weaving and dyeing factory..."

Ruan Yunsi gave Fangcao an angry look, pointed her finger on her forehead and said, "Just brag, what big weaving and dyeing factory?" Turning around, she heard Xiuhong hesitate to say the monthly amount and the food she ate every day, she frowned and said: "It's a little outrageous. How can you say that Siju is also a master. Such an example is not as good as the maid who serves in the wife's room. I really don't know if they are What do you think? Well, I’ll go back today and tell them that from now on, the ratio on the second master’s side will be the same as that of the eldest brother..."

While talking, Ruan Siju and Xiuhong had already changed their clothes, Ruan Yunsi asked him to wash his little face, and combed his hair herself. Seeing that it was almost noon, she reckoned that a good show was about to start. Then he took the master and the servant to Aunt Huang's yard.

I saw that the originally somewhat deserted courtyard was already very lively at this time. Aunt Huang was originally the daughter of Zhaomo, the eighth grade of the Ministry of Justice. Although her family is small, she also has a few sisters. Today she also invited over, Aunt Hong, Aunt Yun and others Also, their servants naturally gathered here too, unexpectedly, even Mrs. Tong appeared later.

Looking at Mrs. Hou Ye and the seventh girl who hadn't shown their faces for more than a month, everyone felt a strange feeling in their hearts, but under the power of the other party, no one dared to show the slightest disdain for them and sarcasm.It was quite different from the expressions of several aunts who spurned this imperial order in front of the old Hou Ye and Ruan Yunsi back then.

Mrs. Tong knew very well that she was lucky not to be kicked out of the mansion after she caused the catastrophe that day. This meant that old Hou Ye had a stroke and couldn't move or speak. Otherwise, where would he have a foothold?Now that he wants to reintegrate into the circle of the mansion's back residence, he must fight this face for a while.

Fortunately, Ruan Yunsi is also the woman who made a big mistake before. This time, even if I can't drive her away and regain the power of the house, at least I have to share the power of the house with the other party equally, and I must not let it go smoothly. It smoothly fell into the hands of the woman who was destined not to get married and Gu's.

It's just that this matter is difficult to say, so she didn't hesitate to use the top-grade jadeite bracelet that she loved like her life to bribe Aunt Hong. She knew that she was unpopular in the back house, so she had to find an ally.Fortunately, Ruan Yunsi was shameless in the eyes of everyone when she ran away from marriage, and she was not much better than herself. Now that she has an ally, she is fighting alone, so this invisible power struggle is very beneficial to her.

Mrs. Tong changed her usual way of talking kindly to the aunts, and at the same time slapped the wishful thinking in her heart. Seeing Mrs. Gu and Aunt Liu coming over, they were all very surprised when they saw her, and forgot to move for a while. Madam Tong sat there and sneered and said, "What? Don't you know me? Or do you forget the etiquette when I'm not here these days?"

　In the last two days, those who have a guaranteed monthly pass can spill out as much as they want, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
