"Ruo'er, your decision to add rice seedlings to Mantou Mountain has also been a great help to our family. This year, the rice seedlings in everyone’s fields have withered to some extent. Our family’s field is doing relatively well, with only half-withered in some areas.
Even before autumn, the food situation this year was worrisome, and several ladies whom I know are also concerned about this matter. "
Even those with a reputable background in Xingshan County may not be able to bear prolonged failed crops.
This large family has many mouths to feed, and if they had to buy food ingredients every day, it would cost them so much money.
Moreover, if everyone is short of food, the price will inevitably rise, and even if you want to buy it, it will become very difficult to get.
Wei Ruo sipped her tea but didn't answer. What she was thinking now was that if she had known everyone's seedlings had withered, she should have sneaked some and sold the extra seedlings. They should be able to sell for a lot of money.
"What happened in the south of the city today, tell Mother in detail again." Yun Shi wanted to hear Wei Ruo talk about the specific process again.
“The seedlings are growing well, and both Father and Lord Qian have approved them. In addition, there is a nobleman from the capital who said he wants to help me and will send someone over tomorrow." Wei Ruo replied lightly, without explaining the details.
She should mention Chu Lan. The person he sent will be at the mansion tomorrow, and Wei Mingting would have informed everyone in the mansion about his identity in advance.
"Your Excellency wants to help?" Yun Shi was surprised.
Wei Qingwan also raised her head to look at Wei Ruo.
Nowadays, in Xingshan County, the only person who could be referred as a "nobleman" by the Wei family was the young master in brocade who she caught a glimpse of on the street that day.
Although the identity of the nobleman had not been fully disclosed, the Wei family had already guessed based on the news from the capital.
“Well, he seems to be quite concerned about people’s suffering.” Wei Ruo was very annoyed with Chu Lan and didn't even want to talk about anything related to him.
Wei Ruo spoke lightly, but everyone who listened was very excited.
“Hmm, he should be. Since the nobleman wants to help, you should even pay more attention to this.” Yun Shi immediately advised Wei Ruo.
“I’m always doing my best in farming.” Wei Ruo replied, it's not like she was planting it for Chu Lan’s approval.
Yun Shi sighed and said: "I thought Wanwan and Miss Qian would offend the nobleman after the incident at Fahua Temple that day. Now it seems that he didn't take it seriously. On the contrary, what you did in the south of the city now has caught his attention.”
When Yun Shi said this, Wei Qingwan, who was slightly hanging her head next to her, shuddered.
The words were like a slap in her face.
Coupled with the comparison with Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan felt that she was trampled on the ground.
On the contrary, Wei Ruo didn't pay much attention to what Yun Shi was saying. This noble person was not considered noble for her, and she couldn't wait to get far away from him.
Wei Yilin pursed his mouth and glanced at Wei Ruo several times. No matter how he looked, he didn't really believe Wei Ruo could make such an achievement.
Why would Wei Qingruo be able to do something that even sister Wanwan couldn't do? Sister Wanwan was so much more capable than her!
After a late dinner, Wei Qingwan felt like chewing wax.
She then left Cangyun Garden feeling sad and lonely.
When Wei Yichen saw her, he chased after her and asked: "What's wrong with Wanwan? Are you not feeling well?"
"Eldest brother, am I useless?" Wei Qingwan asked softly.
“Why does Wanwan ask such a question?”
