Chapter 171 Luo Tingshan's Suspicion
Thinking about the scenes she had seen along the way, such as the fish and ducks in the rice fields, she became even more curious.
Could it be that all the farms in the capital are in this situation?
Zhu Mingqing smiled faintly: "No, this is just the unique scenery of my Zhu family's manor."
In addition to raising fish and ducks, you can also raise crayfish, but the right species has not been found in this area yet.
Zhao Zhi also tactfully didn't ask any more questions. After a moment's thought, he tentatively asked, "I see your wife is raising silkworms. I wonder if we could have the honor of collaborating with her in the future?"
Hearing this, Zhu Mingqing looked at her seriously, his eyes clear, and he really only wanted to cooperate.
However, thinking of the white cotton in the fairy palace, she did not refuse directly.
Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
All things are difficult at the beginning, and there always needs to be a leader.
"If I want to get involved in the fabric business, I will definitely consider Mrs. Zhao. I hope Mrs. Zhao will not be stingy with her guidance when the time comes." She said softly.
Hearing this answer, Zhao Zhi was very satisfied: "Madam Zhu, it was just a joke. We were just helping each other."
As the two chatted here, the water in the ditch accumulated more and more, gradually forming a large lake.
"Madam, it's done!" Manager Ma shouted happily, pointing to the lake and saying, "Many fish have jumped in."
The water gurgled, and many fish and shrimps poured into the lake. The water, which was turbid just now, was becoming clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How magical!" Zhao Zhi murmured.
"Qingqing, the Spirit Gathering Stone is starting to work," the little world spirit exclaimed in surprise. "It's attracted a lot of animals."
Not only the fish in the water, but also the chickens, ducks and other livestock raised on the farm came here chirping.
"this……"
"Hiss—they say everything has a spirit. Looks like this water was diverted correctly!"
Manager Ma didn't care about these livestock. As long as they didn't waste the food, it was fine.
He immediately asked someone to prepare today's dinner. Depending on the number of people coming, he would prepare food for five tables first. If it was not enough, he would just serve as a buffet.
One afternoon, the farm was bustling with activity. Whether old or young, after looking at the canal, everyone turned to look at the farmland.
Some experienced farmers were curious about why fish fry were raised in the fields, but some tenants could not explain it clearly and only said that they were following the instructions of their master.
Helplessly, the old farmers could only watch the excitement.
But some people thought that since this farm had done the same thing on such a large area of land, it meant that this method would definitely work.
So he went home and took out a small piece of rice field and started working on it.
It immediately became a common sight in the village. Some people said that this person was wasting food, and all kinds of negative comments were made.
This man didn't say anything, but just came to the farm occasionally to take a look. Sometimes he would meet Chen Nong and ask him for advice.
When the harvest season came, those who had been pessimistic about his fortune saw that he had not lost any crops and that his fish were growing big and plump.
They are about to break down this person's door.
Of course, this is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.
At this time, Zhao Zhi also looked at the scenery of the farm with Zhu Mingqing, but it was still hot in July.
"Madam, I won't bother you any more." Zhao Zhi asked before leaving, "But, could you please sell me some of these rice seedlings?"
Zhu Mingqing directly sent someone to inform Chen Nong that someone wanted to buy grain seeds and let him make his own decision.
A quarter of an hour later, Hongmei came over and whispered a few words. Zhu Mingqing then said to Zhao Zhi, "Zhuangzi has no more grain to grow. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next year."
Zhao Zhi sighed and said it was okay, but he still felt very disappointed in his heart.
Forget it, let’s do it next year.
It’s also a good opportunity to see what Madam Zhu has gained from her farm!
After Chen Nong knew that Mrs. Zhao had left, he came over to explain. After all, the farm was not without grain seeds, he just didn't want to sell them to those nobles anymore.
"Mr. Chen's concerns are not without reason, but there's no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater." Zhu Mingqing said, "After all, I am the master of the manor now. I will take responsibility for anything that comes my way. Mr. Chen, please feel free to put your mind at ease."
Chen Nong was immediately deeply moved.
To be honest, although I have settled down in Guancheng, the shadow still comes to my mind from time to time.
He is now somewhat restrained in what he does.
Besides, how could he possibly put the blame on Madam Zhu?
Judging from his expression, just wanting him to feel at ease is not something that can be achieved in a short time.
So now I put all my energy into sweet potatoes.
Take advantage of this period of time to let the Luo family go out, at least in the Guancheng area, they cannot be provoked at will!
Before leaving, Chen Nong thought of something and said, "There's a very strange person in the farm. I've never seen him before. Should we drive him away?"
Zhu Mingqing raised his eyes: "What strange person?"
"Wearing a mask and sitting in a wheelchair." Chen Nong recalled.
These three words immediately made Zhu Mingqing understand the other person's identity: Jiang Feng's master. Strangely enough, she had met him several times, but she still didn't know his name.
…
Luo Tingshan sat in a wheelchair beside the lake, looking at the surrounding scenery, with the tenants' endless praises in his ears.
It's hard to believe that a person can change so much in such a short period of time.
"Master, the lady is here." Jiang Feng said in a low voice.
Luo Tingshan raised his eyes, his dark gaze was extremely deep, like a clear pool of water whose depth could not be seen, which made people yearn for it but also feel deeply fearful.
She wore a pair of pale white shoes embroidered with crescent-shaped patterns, and a light-colored silk dress with silver edges. She was not one of those colorful clothes that she used to wear.
He walked with a light step, his temperament was firm and confident, his eyes were determined, and the self-pity he had in the past had completely disappeared.
"Jiang Feng."
Look, the sound has changed too.
Places that I never paid attention to before now seem to be full of problems.
"Hello, Madam." Jiang Feng responded quickly.
Seeing him hiding behind, Zhu Mingqing raised an eyebrow: "Why are you hiding so far away?"
"..." Jiang Feng found an excuse, "I have to protect my master."
The ground was flat, and Zhu Mingqing raised the corners of his mouth, but did not expose him. Every time he was with his master, he would want to stay away from him when he saw him.
Is she that scary?
"Madam, I wish you all the best." Luo Tingshan spoke, his voice slightly deep and a little hoarse. "The farm is thriving. Madam, do you enjoy farming?"
Jiang Feng also looked over curiously.
I've never heard that Madam likes farming before.
Zhu Mingqing glanced at the other person calmly and said, "We've met several times now. Since you already know my identity, why don't you confess yours as well?"
Although her expression was calm, her eyes were filled with curiosity and scrutiny.
This man had difficulty traveling, but he made his way all the way to Guancheng, and no one in Guancheng had ever heard of him.
Moreover, Jiang Feng's kung fu is not weak, he doesn't look like an ordinary person at all.
According to convention, this person is either avoiding his enemies or keeping a low profile.
Luo Tingshan noticed her suspicion, which only increased his doubts.
When did she become so sensitive?
