Unexpectedly, Wang Caiwei did not criticize the choices of Wei Ruo and Xie Ying, but instead invited them to sit down and began to lecture them.

Wei Ruo originally held no hope for the lectures, but the teaching delivered by Wang Caiwei was far from the dullness she had imagined. Wang Caiwei would engage them with vivid discussions of the stories behind the written words and appropriately extend and connect the material.

Xie Ying, who was typically reserved, seemed energized, staring intently and listening with great interest.

Especially when Wang Caiwei spoke about large-scale wars in history, Wei Ruo

felt as if Xie Ying was ready to jump up and join the fight.

in the morning, they lectured together, and in the afternoon, Wang Caiwei arranged separate arts for the two of them to learn.

The current trend was to master one of the four arts, which included burning incense and serving tea, and flower arrangement and hanging paintings. Wang Caiwei had Wei Ruo learn incense burning, while Xie Ying took up painting.

Wei Ruo didn’t know whether Xie Ying was satisfied with Wang Caiwei’s arrangements, but she herself was quite pleased with the course content chosen for her.

By the end of the day, Wei Ruo felt pretty good and found it more interesting than she had expected.

During the lessons, Mr. Wang also talked about certain etiquette. Compared to the rigid explanations of Madam Li, Mr. Wang’s instruction was like a refreshing spring rain, easier for them to absorb.

###

After a few days like this, there was a new development in South City, so Wei Ruo had to excuse herself from Mr. Wang’s lessons to look after the matters there.

After fifteen days of seedling cultivation, the paddies in the experimental fields

of South City were a rich green.

During this time, Madam Zhang would report the condition of the seedlings to

Wei Ruo every other day.

Seeing the vigorous growth of the seedlings, Madam Zhang, who was initially reluctant, had become much more enthusiastic. fre(e)novelkiss

At first, she was reluctant because she thought Wei Ruo was fooling around.

But when she saw the lush seedlings, Madam Zhang was enlightened and realized that this young lady from the countryside really knew her stuff!

“Young miss, I reckon it’s about time to start transplanting the seedlings. But you’ll have to take a look and decide,” Madam Zhang said, now not daring to make her own decisions without consulting Wei Ruo.

“You go and report this situation to mother,” Wei Ruo replied.

Despite the rice grains not being harvested yet, the success of the seedlings was sufficient proof that Wei Ruo’s method of treating chemically treated soil and growing crops could be effectively used.

Wei Ruo needed to report this achievement to Wei Mingting, but she didn’t feel the need to meet him directly right now, so she decided to report to Madam

Yun first.

Madam Zhang immediately complied, heading to Cangyun Garden to relay the

good news.

As Madam Zhang was reporting to Madam Yun, Wei Qingwan was also present in Cangyun Garden, casually chatting with Madam Yun.

After listening to Madam Zhang’s words, Madam Yun was visibly delighted:

“Really? It actually worked?”

“Absolutely, I have been watching over it for a month now. The seedlings, ah, have grown so well! They’re flourishing and green, I’m not exaggerating when I say the seedlings here are even better than the ones we grew on Mantou Mountain in North City!”

‘■That’S great! I’m going to send someone to inform your father right away!” Madam Yun promptly replied.

She immediately summoned Guard Jing Hu and gave him the instructions. Noticing Madam Yun’s excitement, the expression of Wei Qingwan nearby subtly changed.

“I didn’t expect sister to succeed, that’s really fantastic.” Wei Qingwan said. “Yes indeed. If it really works out, it would be a great help to your father and the entire Military Prefecture.”

Madam Yun didn’t notice her daughter’s crestfallen face, she was too absorbed

in her own excitement.

She then addressed Madam Zhang: “Madam Zhang, please call Ruo’er over.” Madam Zhang quickly responded: “Madam, besides informing you of the matter, the young miss also wished to seek your approval for her planned trip to South City. If the condition of the seedlings is suitable, she will start the transplanting process.”

“Ah right, the timing of rice transplanting is very critical, it should not be delayed. I shouldn’t hold her up from her work then.”

“Exactly, Madam.”

“But before we proceed, we should let her father see the condition of the rice seedlings. Once the seedlings have been transplanted, we will not be able to prove if they were really grown on the treated wasteland, or simply transferred from elsewhere.”

“Then…what does Madam suggest we do?”

“Ask Ruo’er to wait a bit. Once we receive a reply from her father and if he has the time, he should come to have a look as soon as possible, it would be best if he could also bring Magistrate Qian along. If he doesn’t have the time, then Ruo’er can proceed to transplant the seedlings according to the plan.”

“Alright, I will inform the young miss first.”

“Yes, please go ahead.”

On this issue, Madam Yun greatly respected Wei Ruo’s decisions.

In a short while, Madam Zhang returned, bearing Wei Ruo’s response: “The young miss says she will first go to South City to assess the condition of the seedlings. If there is news from the master, he can directly go to South City.” “Let’s proceed according to Ruo’er’s plan.” Madam Yun instructed.

Having received approval from Madam Yun, Madam Zhang returned to deliver the response to Wei Ruo.

Accompanied by Madam Zhang, Wei Ruo took a carriage out of the city. Upon seeing the excellent condition of the seedlings, Wei Ruo was quite satisfied.

Agui and Xiaoba, who were responsible for plowing, were also incredibly pleased.

The healthy growth of the seedlings indicated the potential for a good harvest, which was undeniably good news for Xingshan County, which had suffered from poor harvests for several years.

“Young miss, what should we do now? Should we start transplanting?” Agui asked.

“Let’s wait a bit and see whether my father’s going to come have a look. You guys can start tilling the other waste lands nearby. Now that this place has been successful, the cultivation of the other waste lands will soon follow,” Wei Ruo instructed.

“Alright!”

Filled with enthusiasm, Agui and Xiaoba immediately got to work.

Wei Ruo then went to inspect the surrounding area.

About an hour later, Wei Ruo saw a large group of people approaching.

From a distance, Wei Ruo could see Wei Mingting at the front, riding a horse. He was still in his armor, implying he had come directly after receiving the news without having the time to change.

Following Wei Mingting, she caught sight of Magistrate Qian and Chu Lan.

We Ruo had anticipated Magistrate Qian’s appearance; after all, the successful cultivation of barren land was also an achievement for him, he was bound to be interested. Chu Lan’s appearance, however, was unexpected. Upon seeing him, Wei Ruo’s brows furrowed instinctively – she was averse to much contact with him.

Soon, the entourage reached where Wei Ruo and company were waiting. Accompanied by Madam Zhang, Agui, and Xiaoba, Wei Ruo stepped forward to greet them.

With a slight bow, she addressed them: “Greetings, Father, greetings,

Magistrate Qian.”

With respect to Chu Lan, since he hadn’t disclosed his identity, Wei Ruo did not feel the need to acknowledge him.

“You don’t need to be so formal,” Wei Mingting’s voice held a hint of excitement.

He had noticed Wei Ruo’s vibrant field of seedlings even from a distance while on his way here.

The lush green patch stood out against the desolate surroundings, making a stark contrast.

Those accompanying Wei Mingting also observed Wei Ruo’s seedling field from up close..
