No matter how angry Ya Ya was with her father, it didn't stop her from going to the Prince's Mansion for classes with her brother.
With the children all gone to school, Lin Zao also had some things to take care of at the farm.
Sun Ding did a good job of everything she asked him to do, and basically all the crops that needed to be planted were planted.
The details of what seeds were planted, how many acres were planted, the germination rate, etc., were all recorded in a book for Lin Zao to refer to.
Due to the lack of rainfall, the germination rate of those seeds is quite low, and this is the time to replant.
After Lin Zao finished reading the booklet, she thought that she still needed to go to the estate to check on Yue Wuyan after the matter was over before she could feel at ease.
Although there was groundwater that King Cheng had previously excavated, this water could not be used whenever he wanted.
As long as you are not located in an area with underground water veins, it is normal to have to walk several miles to fetch water.
This made it more difficult to fetch water, and families with land had to keep fetching and watering the land if they wanted a good harvest.
The hardships involved are unimaginable.
Lin Zao currently owns four estates, but only the one she bought at the beginning, located outside the city, is situated on the water and close to an underground well, making it convenient to fetch water.
Of course, it is also very possible that the estate was taken over by King Cheng at that time, and the land was planted with high-yield crops. King Cheng valued it and therefore dug a well nearby.
For the other villages, the water was much farther away, so if you wanted the crops to grow well, you had to have half of the tenants stay to plant and the other half go to fetch water.
Although it was hard work, it was far better than for people outside Ganzhou City, so no one complained. Instead, they cherished this hard-won source of life even more.
After sorting things out at the manor, Lin Zao began planning for Tang's mother's birthday celebration, which was scheduled for half a month later.
Although Tang's mother looks old now, she is actually only in her early 40s. However, the average lifespan in ancient times was over 50, so Tang's mother is considered an elderly person.
The reason Lin Zao made an agreement with the children yesterday to copy books was so that they could copy scriptures as a token of their appreciation to their grandmother.
Tang's mother is a devout Buddhist, so she must have been very happy to receive the sutras copied by her children on her birthday.
There were more than ten volumes of scriptures in total. After returning yesterday, Lin Zao had her maid send some of the scriptures to the children. Each of them copied two volumes, and with Lin Zao and Tang Jian copying the remaining volumes, the collection was complete.
Lin Zao's main concern now is deciding which guests to invite and how she can personally write and deliver the invitations.
We also need to consider how to arrange the banquet, the drinks and dishes, etc.
Fortunately, the General's Mansion had already held a celebration for the twins' birthday last year, so Lin Zao had some experience.
We just need to be a little more serious when the time comes.
Lin Zao wrote down all her thoughts, and instructed the housekeeper to prepare everything that needed to be purchased as soon as possible, so as not to be caught unprepared later.
When Ya Ya and the others returned from the Prince's Mansion that evening, Tang Jian still hadn't come back.
During dinner, Ya Ya kept looking out the door, and she didn't even have the appetite to eat her favorite fried chicken leg.
Tang's mother and the others found it quite amusing.
Only a few children found Ya Ya's behavior strange, especially Hu Tou, since he felt that his sister and he could talk about anything.
Suddenly, his younger sister had her own little thoughts, and Tiger Head felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
My sister has a little secret she's not telling me!
