"A big shot from the capital?" The Rong family members stared at the magistrate in shock upon hearing his words. "Magistrate, how could a big shot from the capital possibly be interested in Rong Hua? You're not joking, are you?!"
The magistrate calmly said, "How could I possibly lie to you about something like this? Wouldn't I be afraid of losing my job if that important person found out?! Rest assured, support Ronghua. As for that important person in the capital, you'll soon find out who he is, because he'll be coming to Wenhong County soon! But I advise you, never anger that important person, otherwise ten Wenhong Counties wouldn't be enough to appease him! Even the current emperor has to show him some restraint; we are just ordinary people, we can't afford to offend him! But since that important person wants to see Ronghua achieve something in the greenhouse, then Ronghua must work hard, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! Think carefully about whether your lives are more important, or the greenhouse!!"
Rong Dong'an and the others looked at each other, their faces filled with fear, their hearts trembling with terror.
These are the most important figures in the capital, figures even the Emperor has to show them deference to. How could they dare to offend them? If they did, even the Emperor might not protect them! Therefore, everyone is extremely uneasy!
Then they turned their gaze to Rong Hua and Rong Mu, hoping to see a hint of knowledge on their faces. However, they were disappointed. They did not see any knowledge on the brothers' faces, but instead saw a blank expression.
The magistrate continued, “Because the matter of building the shed has been discovered by important figures in the capital, you cannot refuse any of Ronghua’s actions! But don’t worry, that important figure will not interfere or try to take a share. With his protection, you can do whatever you want without anyone bothering you! Even if someone does, it doesn’t matter! He will make sure those who cause you trouble suffer the consequences!”
In other words, you must agree to Ronghua buying or leasing land to build greenhouses, and you must unconditionally support Ronghua, otherwise the consequences will be severe!!
Prince Yi values Miss Rong Sheng highly, but Miss Rong Sheng is Miss Rong Sheng, not the entire Rong clan. However, since the Rong clan has always treated Miss Rong Sheng well, Prince Yi will continue to be tolerant of the Rong clan.
No one knew who the important figure in the capital was! But in order not to anger the important figure and punish the Rong family, they had no choice but to compromise, and hoped that Rong Hua would work hard and not disappoint the important figure in the capital.
The magistrate had already made his point, and everyone present, being intelligent, sighed. The clan head then spoke, “Our Rong clan has always been very united. If you insist on buying land to build greenhouses, we will certainly support you. After all, our land is empty in the winter, and we have no crops to grow! If greenhouse cultivation doesn't work out, you can return the land to your clansmen in the spring so they can cultivate it themselves. But Rong Hua, we still maintain our opinion: think thrice before acting on important matters! We can't afford to lose everything!”
Rong Dong'an's dark eyes flashed: "Eldest son, your father is a doctor and doesn't know how to build a greenhouse, nor how to grow vegetables and fruits in one. But since you know how to build a greenhouse and grow vegetables and fruits there, you should talk to the person who gave you advice more often and try to avoid taking unnecessary detours! Your parents can't help you much, but we'll do our best to help you, whether it's buying or renting land, building a greenhouse, or growing vegetables in it! So, just say what you need directly, don't beat around the bush! Remember, we're family!"
Madam Xu sighed helplessly. What could she do even if she disagreed? Just as the magistrate had said, a powerful figure in the capital had his eye on their eldest son, and they had to get the shed built properly. If they didn't do it well and offended that powerful figure in the capital, then the Rong family would be in deep trouble.
Therefore, Xu's initial disagreement turned into concern and silent support, hoping the children would work hard! Only in this way could she avoid angering the important figures in the capital!
Rong Hua was overjoyed that the matter was resolved so quickly. She repeatedly assured everyone that she would build the greenhouse properly and that the clansmen should not worry. She also hoped that they would continue to support and help her, because if the greenhouse cultivation was successful, it would be a great honor for the Rong clan. It wouldn't just be Rong Hua bringing glory to her ancestors, but the entire Rong clan would be honored and would be envied by many others!
Ronghua knew that his clansmen were frightened by the magistrate's words. He was also a little scared, but he was happy to suppress his fear. So he calmly comforted his clansmen, telling them to rest assured, and then explained everything about the greenhouse in great detail.
I also discussed with everyone what to do next. Since Anning Village is not yet fully built, many workers and villagers who came to work have not left. Ronghua hopes that the clansmen can help keep them here so that they can build sheds for them after the houses are finished!
The clansmen knew the situation was beyond repair, so they helped Ronghua, because helping Ronghua was also helping themselves. If Ronghua recovered, the greenhouses would recover, and their Rong clan would prosper!
So everyone readily agreed to Ronghua's request. Ronghua was happy, but she didn't let it cloud her judgment. She explained her plan to them.
After the matter was almost settled, they realized it was getting dark. Xu immediately went to cook and invited the clansmen to stay for dinner. Rong Mu went to help.
Han Chan originally wanted Rong Hua to take her to find Han Tao, or she could go to find Han Tao herself; she figured she could find him by asking around. But Han Chan's own little schemes got the better of her, and she stubbornly waited for Rong Hua in the courtyard instead of going to find Han Tao.
When Xu Shi and Rong Mu came out of the house and saw Han Chan, they felt very guilty and remorseful. Although the weather was not particularly cold, it was gradually getting chilly. Han Chan was a young girl whose injuries had just healed, and she had been sitting outside for half a day. She was bound to catch a cold. So Xu Shi took the initiative to warmly invite Han Chan to stay, have a hot meal and a bowl of ginger soup. Otherwise, she would feel bad. Then she asked Rong Mu to find Han Tao and pointed out where Han Tao was. Then she pulled Han Chan to busy herself in the kitchen.
Han Chan didn't want to leave, but she didn't dare to be too deliberate. So, under Xu Shi's enthusiastic persuasion, Han Chan stayed, feeling quite embarrassed. She and Xu Shi were busy cooking in the kitchen, and also learned about the Rong family's situation.
