Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 39 Imitation of others
  "Can this thing really repel insects?" asked a farmhand.

Xie Xie smiled and said, "You can call this an insecticide. It can kill most vegetable insects in one go."

The farmhands looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't dare to say anything, so they had to follow the instructions, but they were very suspicious in their hearts.

After all, for farmers, insect pests are still one of the important reasons restricting the current agricultural development.

Last winter solstice, a large number of Zhuangzi near Kyoto suffered from insect pests. In the end, only seven or eight thousand koku of the one hundred thousand koku harvested.

Xie Xie knew that it would be difficult for them to accept the argument of pesticides for a while, so he didn't bother to explain. Anyway, after the pesticide was sprayed, the cabbage bugs would be almost dead in just one or two days. By then, there would be no excuse. it works.

The church farmhands refused to call Xue Hanxiang to them.

"Is there anyone who can claim the reward for the grafting method I mentioned that day?"

"Many cultivators from the surrounding area have come to inquire about it, but no one has ever made it."

He declined and asked: "Where is the youngest farmhand in our village? Has she finished it?"

"Master, are you talking about Liu Xiu? I have seen her playing around in the past few days. I wonder if it has happened. I'll ask her to ask?"

After a while, Liu Xiu was called over from the field by Xue Hanxiang, and she saw a small broom for dust removal in her hand.

"what is this?"

Liu Xiu said: "Use this to dip the insecticide developed by the lady and spray it evenly between the cabbage hearts and leaves."

Decline to be overjoyed!

What other bikes? Isn’t this the agricultural talent she is looking for?
  "Your little brain is very useful." She praised happily, waved to her, as if looking after her own child, and asked kindly: "How old are you this year?"

Liu Xiu said with a straight face, "Nineteen."

When she wasn't talking, her thick black eyebrows and narrow squinting eyes made her look like Crayon Shin-chan.

Liu Xiu thought that she could not escape being criticized for her young age, so she waited with some frustration for the next sentence of refusal.

Unexpectedly, she said with a smile: "Have you mastered the grafting method I mentioned last time?"

Liu Xiu was stunned, "I did it, but it will take some time to know whether it will be successful or not."

She nodded. Grafting is a method of artificial reproduction that uses the ability of plants to heal themselves after being injured.

The reason why she came up with such an idea on purpose that day was because she thought that if she relied solely on her own strength, would she be able to do it all the time?
  It is better to recruit some local people who are talented in agriculture and study together, so that we can achieve quantitative changes in a short period of time and ultimately achieve a qualitative leap.

She has already inquired with Shen Yiming. At present, Jiyue Kingdom has a large amount of vegetables and grains to buy from Rizhao Kingdom every year. If she refuses and can take over this business, she will have no worries about food and clothing in the next life.

In the final analysis, we still have to solve the current problem of food and clothing first.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to take Liu Xiuxian with him to train him.

"I've been researching some new vegetable varieties recently, and I happen to be short of help in the yard. Would you like to come back with me?"

"Miss, you want to take me with you?"

"Yes."

Liu Xiu couldn't believe it, "Why, why? I'm so young, how could you..." His words were full of self-denial.

He declined: "It's a good thing that you are young. It shows that you are extremely talented. To be honest, I like your unwillingness to admit defeat."

Liu Xiu was so excited that her eyes even turned red, "Slave, I am willing."

"Okay, go pack your things and come with me." Although Liu Xiulian didn't know what he was going to do when he returned to the General's Mansion, he had secretly vowed in his heart that he would do his best to repay Xie's trust in her.

On the way, he asked Jiang You about the time and heard that it was still about half an hour until school was over.

Where can you think of to kill time?
  At a glance, she saw the tattered clothes on Liu Xiu's body. She couldn't help but think of Xue Hanxiang's delicate face, as pale as ink. Last time, she wanted to find an opportunity to give her a set of clothes. Xue Hanxiang's figure seemed to be similar to Jiang You's. almost.

She refused to open the curtain and said, "Don't go back home yet. Go to the clothing store." The last sentence she said was to Liu Xiu, "I'll just make you some clothes. If you want to dress like this and follow me to do research, it's okay." It’s so embarrassing.”

Jiang You didn't know that the refusal meant that he wanted to make clothes for his servants. He thought that she wanted to make new clothes for herself, so she drove the carriage to the door of the most upscale clothing store in the capital.

He refused to get out of the car and glanced at Jiang You. He put his right hand into the inside of his clothes and weighed his purse a few times.

But now that it’s here, it’s hard to say you don’t have money and not buy it, right?

"Thank you, Second Lady, you haven't been here for a while. Recently, we have received some dark flower cloud satin, which is a specialty of Rizhao country. You will definitely look stunning in it!"

Xie Xie's face turned dark, why is she so beautiful? Don't you have any other adjective?

I am planning to ask the shopkeeper to recommend some other fabrics.

Suddenly, I heard a voice coming from the elegant seats in the attic above my head, "Shopkeeper, my Highness wants all these dark flower cloud satin."

"Hey, yes, yes, I will send someone to wrap it up for His Highness right now." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned to refuse and apologized, "Thank you, second lady, don't be surprised. I have other good ingredients here. I’ll send someone to pick them out for you.”

He declined and waved his hand, not caring, "Okay, you don't have to worry about me, just go ahead and see for yourself."

Not long after, the people in the attic on the second floor came down.

She looked up and saw that Feng Qingcheng was wearing a snow-white double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown today, with a full-body green jade pendant hanging on his waist. His black hair was all tied up in a ruby ​​​​purple gold crown. With two strands of hair exposed and blowing in the wind, she looked a little more elegant.

only……

Why does it look so familiar?

Could this guy be imitating Dugu Xiwei's outfit?

Gee...

Seeing him walking down with his entourage, Xie refused to glance away and led Liu Xiu inside, "Let's see if there is any material you like."

Liu Xiucheng was horrified, "My master loves me so much, how can my slave deserve to wear such good materials?"

Feng Qingcheng walked over with lotus steps, staring at Liu Xiu who was bowing his head, and took a second look.

Then he asked arrogantly: "Didn't you receive my letter?"

Xie refused for a moment and almost forgot about it.

With a dull face, she glanced at him expressionlessly, "Copy that."

Feng Qingcheng asked with some sullenness: "Then why don't you come back?"

Reply to what?
  Three days ago, she received a letter from the palace. In the letter, she wrote an acrostic poem and wanted to invite her to go to Yuxiang Pavilion for a gathering. There was no signature in the letter, so she didn't take it to heart and put it aside. aside.

Who knew it was actually written by Feng Qingcheng.

"Why did you invite me?" She was a little confused.
