Ten acres of land were planted in one day. Yun Ruoxi made a simple calculation and concluded that the remaining 25 acres of land could be planted in a week.
Since they no longer have to worry about farming, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue rarely go to the fields. They either stay at home to practice or read.
It took five days to plant all 35 acres of land.
Even the courtyard wall of the new house has been built, now all that’s left is to build the house.
On this day, Yun Ruoxi got up early, which was rare for her. She sat in front of the dressing mirror, quietly waiting for Wenshu to do her makeup.
Yun Ruoxi remembered that she had given Wenshu the martial arts secret manual a few days ago, and she didn't know how his practice was going, so she asked, "Wenshu, how has your martial arts practice been going lately?"
When it comes to martial arts, the clerk's entire body is full of energy. "In reply to the Madam, I have already cultivated my internal strength for a year. I believe that as long as I persevere, I will definitely be able to protect the Madam well in the future."
Yun Ruoxi: "Why would I need your protection? I let you practice martial arts so that you can protect yourself. If you need to go out to do something one day, it will be safer if you know martial arts."
The clerk smiled and said, "Yes, awesome! I'll take note!"
"By the way, since I bought you back from Caiyun Town, do you still have any relatives alive?"
The clerk shook his head slightly. "I was sold to a pawnbroker when I was very young. I moved to many places before finally settling in this small Caiyun Town. I don't even remember having any family."
Yun Ruoxi understood, "In that case, you can just stay at the Xiao family with peace of mind. This will be your home from now on. If you are old enough and have a man you like, you can tell me directly and I will arrange a marriage for you."
When the clerk heard this, his face instantly turned red. "Madam, what are you talking about? I don't want to get married yet. During my time at the Xiao family, serving Madam was the happiest time for Uncle Wen. What's so good about getting married? I have to serve my mother-in-law and take care of the whole family."
Yun Ruoxi raised an eyebrow slightly. She hadn't expected the clerk to be so insightful. "Normally, young maids your age would think of escaping slavery by marrying off. Why do you think differently?"
The clerk knelt respectfully in front of Yun Ruoxi and said seriously, "Madam, you may not know this, but before I was bought by the Xiao family, I did think about escaping slavery through marriage. But now I don't think so. Madam, you want me to know that no matter if you are a man or a woman, you are only truly strong when you are strong yourself. You can never think of relying on others."
Yun Ruoxi knew that Wenshu had taken to heart what she had said to Huaer and Xianger.
Yun Ruoxi gently lifted up the clerk who was kneeling on the ground. Her voice was gentle, "I know you are a good girl. You still have a long way to go in life. If you really meet someone who truly cares about you, don't reject others' concern for you. But no matter what choice you make, you must first learn to love yourself. When you have enough strength to protect yourself, you will have more options."
Hearing this, the clerk's eyes turned red and he nodded fiercely, "Yes, Madam Young Master. I'll make a note of it."
Yun Ruoxi: "Okay, stop kneeling and get up to comb your hair. After that, let's go to the kitchen and prepare lunch for today."
The clerk hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and continued to comb Yun Ruoxi's hair and dress her.
Just as I finished packing, I heard Mu Ruxue's voice coming from outside, "Xixi, are you done packing? Why don't we go out and take a look today?"
Yun Ruoxi: "It's fine now. Where do you want to go?"
Yun Ruoxi walked out of her room and saw Mu Ruxue already walking to her door.
Today, Mu Ruxue wore a pink dress, had a simple single bun on her head, and wore a silver hairpin and jade earrings.
The whole person looks a bit like a beautiful girl next door.
"You're dressed so beautifully today. It seems your painting skills are pretty good too."
Mu Ruxue raised her chin proudly. "Of course I wanted to go to the beach again. I haven't been out for a few days and I'm feeling suffocated."
Yun Ruoxi actually had the same idea. She had to go out and find some seafood today.
"Okay, then let's take some sun protection measures and go out to the sea with the two little maids."
Now the two best friends have some experience in sea hunting, so even without Huaer and Xianger by their side, they can still take a stroll without any problem.
Considering that they would be living by the sea in the future, sun hats and small neck fans were common items, so Yun Ruoxi gave one to each family member.
This small neck-hanging fan requires batteries. Even if someone picks it up, it will be useless if it has no power.
For those who are just canceling their leave, basically everyone has some spare batteries on hand, so there is no need to worry.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue were fully armed, and the clerks and Wenhua following behind them were also dressed similarly.
A group of four people walked towards the beach, and Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue arrived at the beach as if they were familiar with the route.
However, they came out late today and saw many young girls and boys on the beach going to the beach to catch seafood.
The most eye-catching ones among them are Huaer and Xianger, because they are surrounded by many friends.
Mu Ruxue teased, "Hua'er and Xiang'er are quite popular. I didn't expect that after not seeing them for a few days, they are already so popular among the kids."
Yun Ruoxi observed carefully and found that many people were staring at Huaer and Xianger and the clam rakes in their hands. She guessed, "It's probably because those two girls are holding clam rakes that they are more popular."
The two best friends talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the place where the crowd was the most dense.
Xiang'er had sharp eyes and quickly spotted Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue. She quickly pushed through the crowd and ran towards them.
Hua'er followed closely behind. When the two sisters stood in front of them, Mu Ruxue spoke first, "You came quite early today!"
After saying that, he glanced at the friends behind Hua'er and Xiang'er, and then said, "There are quite a few people here today!"
Xiang'er said with a smile, "My dear sister, you may not know that there was a big low tide this morning. Everyone picked up a lot of seafood, so more people came here."
Mu Ruxue nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is. I was wondering if there weren't so many people when we went to the beach a few days ago."
Huaer then said, "Beautiful sister, why are you guys out today? Are you here to catch some seafood as well? It's a good idea for us to go together."
