Chapter 397 Rizhuang's Corn (Part [-])

Just as Su Yueling thought, the news of Gao Lei's infertility spread all over the city within a few days.

Everyone knew that his problem was brought out from his mother's womb. Gao Lei had a lot of self-esteem, and couldn't stand being pointed at when he went out, so he simply resigned from his official position and stayed at home every day.

As for his original son Songgeer, the Gao family sent Aunt Yan and Songgeer to Zhuangzi first in order to avoid the limelight.Prepare to calm down after a while, and then let Brother Song come back.

After all, the Gao family can't afford to lose face.

They covered it up fairly tightly, and Su Yueling and the Queen Mother didn't disclose the matter to the outside world, so outsiders thought that the child was Aunt Yan having an affair with others, and they took it for granted that they were all sold together.

Many people felt that Su Yueling could be said to be the benefactor of the Gao family. If she hadn't kindly invited the imperial physician to see Gao Lei, Gao Lei would have helped raise other people's children all his life.

Su Yueling felt the same way.But apparently Gao's family didn't think much of it, and they didn't even come to say thank you after the incident happened.

Only Hu Guiyu sent Su Yueling a lot of precious red ginseng and snow lotus back and forth, and said to tell her when they were used up, and she continued to give them away.

Hu Guiyu's reputation in the capital has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Everyone said that she has suffered so much grievance these years, and now she will never leave Gao Lei. She can be called a model of a good wife.

Apart from Hu Guiyu, the biggest winner is the troupe that caused all this.

Many people are willing to spend a lot of money to invite them to sing opera.

Su Yueling didn't buy them, and she wouldn't stop them from making money if they wanted to.

This theater troupe sang derivative stories, so the original version of "Song Ying Congjun" that had begun to die down became popular again.

……

Lushan Village.

In the past few months at home, Yuan Baoshu has been as busy as a bee.

The cloth in her cloth shop is too popular, and no matter how much it produces every month, it will sell out quickly, so Yuan Baoshu can only continue to recruit new people.

Now in Lushan Village, every household has someone working in the cloth village, and has a stable income.Moreover, if the quality of the cloth spun by Lushan Village is good enough, Yuan Baoshu is willing to buy it at a price higher than the market price.With spare money in hand, they are willing to build new houses and buy land. Lushan Village can be said to have a new look and become the wealthiest village nearby. Many people from other villages are willing to marry their daughters to Lushan Village.

In their eyes, even if it is not as good as the county town, the gap is not too big, and it is an out-and-out blessing nest.

The unmarried girls in Lushan Village are also different from those in other places. Not only do they have good embroidery skills, but they can even read and understand the law. Apart from their family background, they are not much worse than those girls from Yuanwai's family.Many well-to-do families are willing to hire such a daughter-in-law.

As for the Yuan family, it was a family they didn't even dare to think about.Like Yuan Baoshu, no one dares to recommend her own.The sister of the champion, the sister-in-law of the county lord... There is really no match for this identity in the entire Dingnan Prefecture.

As the owner of Cloth Village, Yuan Baoshu is not complacent because of the change in her status and her achievements.In Yuan Baoshu's mind, her achievements all stem from her sister-in-law, and she is only able to do so because of listening to her sister-in-law.

At this time, she temporarily put down the work at hand, and followed Wu Shu to Dazhuangzi on the other side of Rizhuang.

Many seeds bought by my sister-in-law and sea merchants are planted in this village.Now it is the season of corn ripening.

The sharecroppers on the village have already picked half an acre of corn on the cob.

The manager Zhuangzi named He Man couldn't hide his excitement, and his dark skin couldn't hide the redness on his face. He stammered and said: "We thought that we would be satisfied if we could harvest a hundred catties from half an acre of land." I didn't expect that the corn picked in this half acre of land would weigh more than [-] catties!"

If he hadn't weighed it himself and looked at the number again and again, he wouldn't have believed it.

Yuan Baoshu had also worked in the fields before, and she was not the kind of person who knew nothing about farming.

She couldn't help showing a shocked expression, "Is it just the half acre that grows particularly well? Or is every piece of land like this?"

He Man said: "That half an acre is considered to be relatively ordinary. The corn seeds in the other few fields are even more plump."

"More than that, that potato is also growing very gratifyingly."

It's just that he didn't weigh the potatoes. Instead, according to the master's instructions, he continued to cut the grown potatoes into pieces according to the position of the bud eyes, and continued to plant them.

Yuan Baoshu and Wu Shu didn't pay much attention to the potatoes, after all, the amount of potatoes was still a bit small.They couldn't wait to run to see the picked corn, Yuan Baoshu bent down to pick one of them, and pushed aside the green leaves outside, revealing the golden corn seeds inside.

"Is this delicious?"

He Man nodded vigorously, "We boiled one and tasted it, it's really sweet."

"And this one is also very filling."

They only dared to taste one and did not dare to touch too much.These seeds are all precious.Who would have thought that the yield of this thing is so much higher than that of rice and wheat.

Yuan Baoshu said without hesitation: "Send all these corns to the capital, and I will write to my sister-in-law."

"Don't touch the corn in other places. You have to work harder during this time, and send people to patrol day and night." She was worried that someone would pick it secretly.Although Yuan Baoshu felt that with the prestige of her sister-in-law in the neighborhood, there were relatively few people who would do such a thing.But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Yuan Baoshu added, "You've worked hard during this time, go to the cashier tomorrow and everyone will receive three months' monthly money."

When He Man heard this, a layer of joy appeared on his finely lined face.Because he was diligent and good at farm work, he was appointed as the steward of Zhuangzi, and he got five taels of money every month.For him, it was already unimaginable money.I didn't expect the master's family to be so generous. It was not Chinese New Year yet, so they gave a reward of three months' money.When the time comes, he will keep the money and give it to his daughter as the money in the bottom of the box for her marriage.

Wu Shu said: "There are still four months before Chinese New Year. If you do well in these four months, there will be another reward at that time."

After these two orders, the whole Zhuangzi will be like the new year, and there will be a happy atmosphere from top to bottom.

Everyone cheered up and vowed to work hard in the past few months and strive to get more rewards.Among other things, the county lord of Weiguo is famous for his generosity around here.

The picked fresh corn cannot be stored for a long time, so He Man and the others dried the corn.

Yuan Baoshu knew that her sister-in-law liked to eat freshly picked corn, so she asked someone to dig up several corn plants and put them in flowerpots.

These corn and Yuan Baoshu's letters were rushed to the capital like this.
