Manager Hua led his men to the capital the following afternoon.
Han Minghai went along as well.
Before he left, Li Lanzhen gave him special instructions.
"Boss, you have to be careful when you're out and about. You have to be kind, but you can't be so stubborn as to tell everyone you meet all your family's wealth."
Observe and ask questions about everything, and don't speak or make decisions lightly.
If you encounter a situation you cannot decide, consult your master.
Follow your master closely, observe his demeanor and how he interacts with various people.
Also observe how he conducts business and interacts with others.
Then she handed him a dagger.
Han Minghai's eyes lit up when he saw the dagger, and he took it with both hands.
"Mother, I understand. Thank you, Mother!"
That day, Xue Bao came to propose marriage, and Li Lanzhen gave him a dagger with a sapphire scabbard.
The two brothers were incredibly envious.
Afterwards, they seized the opportunity to give Xue Bao a good training session.
Now he has also obtained a dagger.
The scabbard of this dagger is inlaid with white gemstones.
It glittered and sparkled in the sunlight, dazzlingly bright.
Afterwards, Li Lanzhen went to find Manager Hua.
I handed him a small box.
"Manager Hua, I know that the money I gave you last time probably wasn't enough to handle this matter."
I'm really embarrassed to ask you for help, even though I have to pay you.
Here are four glass bowls. Take a look. Take them to the capital and sell them. Use the money to buy me a house, an estate, and shops.
Hua Zixi didn't think Li Lanzhen could come up with anything that was unremarkable or unimpressive.
I opened the wooden box out of curiosity just by hearing her mention glass.
He was agitated when the four glass bowls from the box appeared before his eyes.
These four glass bowls are so beautiful!
One pair is blue with hints of pale pink, crystal clear; the other pair is pale blue with hints of orange-red, vibrant and radiant.
He unconsciously cheered.
"Great! That's wonderful, Madam Li. Don't worry, I'll definitely get you a good price!"
Li Lanzhen has many more of these glass bowls in her space.
Actually, what she liked most was a pair of four glass bowls, one blue with purple undertones and the other blue with bright yellow undertones.
This is what she intended to keep and give to the Emperor and Empress.
But now is not the time; let's wait for the right opportunity.
After seeing them off, Li Lanzhen continued to keep track of the children's participation in the scientific expedition.
Pay attention to their diet every day and make sure they don't stay up late at night.
When they returned in the afternoon, they always wanted to compare answers, but Han Mingxiang and Li Lanzhen dissuaded them.
After checking the answers, if you think you did well, you'll feel incredibly energized.
If you feel that you have made many mistakes in your answers, you will become discouraged, which will affect your performance in the following subjects.
Li Lanzhen was still worried that this scientific expedition might encounter something like the sabotage depicted in movies and television.
For example, during a fight between students, someone put croton seeds in their food, causing them to have diarrhea and forcing them to interrupt their exams.
Alternatively, one could have someone write cheat sheets for them and then slip them into another student's clothing to falsely accuse them, thereby disqualifying them from the exam.
Wait, something disgusting.
None of this happened, and the three-day exam went very smoothly.
After returning from the exam on the third day, Li Lanzhen had the group take hot baths before preparing a sumptuous dinner for them.
During dinner, the kids chattered excitedly about the test questions they had taken over the past few days and how they had answered them.
Then they asked Han Mingxiang and the others how they answered.
At the beginning, Han Mingxiang explained to them one by one.
Finally, when I got really annoyed, I told them to shut up and eat properly, and then I got a good night's sleep.
Tomorrow, go back to Master Xu and have them recite the test questions.
This finally shut the guys up, allowing them to focus on enjoying their food.
One of the guards left behind by Manager Hua of Sifang Restaurant protected them as they boarded a large ship and returned to Peach Blossom Spring.
As the ship approached the Eleven Trees dock.
They received a warm welcome from both adults and children.
Han Dazhong lifted his grandson high into the air and chuckled as he spoke.
"You little rascal, I wonder how your exam went? You've been having a blast with your Grandma Lanzhen."
Look how much rounder her face has become in just a few days.
The people around him burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Master Xu stood to the side, and Han Mingxiang led a few children to him, where they stood properly, bowed, and greeted him.
"Greetings, Master. We're back."
"Good, it's good that you're back. Come on, follow me into the school, I'll ask you about your situation."
The mischievous boys were now walking properly.
It was completely unlike the scene of laughing and playing with family and friends just moments before.
As Li Lanzhen walked back, she looked at the wasteland on both sides of the road.
They were away for more than ten days and reclaimed more than 1,000 mu of land.
She felt hot as she walked, so she took off her jacket. The temperature in Peach Blossom Spring should be suitable for growing rice seedlings.
Once the rice seedlings have grown, they can be transplanted.
Li Lanzhen did not see Zhang Deshui in the fields on either side.
She didn't go home; she went to the cafeteria, drank a bowl of water, and then came out.
She figured Zhang Deshui and the others must have gone to that area of land with a high sand content to plant sweet potato seedlings.
Sure enough, when she got close to the peach grove...
They found that on that wasteland, many people were planting sweet potato seedlings.
Most of these sweet potato vines came from Li Lanzhen's space, and the other half were cut from sweet potato vines in the vegetable greenhouse.
After she saw Zhang Deshui walk slowly past, she shouted loudly.
"Brother Zhang, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhang Deshui then raised his head and straightened his back, and saw that it was Li Lanzhen.
He chuckled and asked her, "You're back? All the kids are back, right? How did their exams go?"
“We’ve all come back. I don’t know how they did on the exam. As soon as they got off the ship, Master Xu called them to the school for an exam.”
As he spoke, Zhang Deshui handed a handful of sweet potato vines to the person next to him, clapped his hands, and walked out.
The two of them came to the base of a large tree nearby.
Zhang Deshui took out his tobacco pouch, scooped out a pouch full of tobacco leaves, lit it, and took a puff.
Li Lanzhen then told him, "Brother Zhang, I think the temperature in this Peach Blossom Spring is suitable for raising rice seedlings. Once the seedlings are raised, we can transplant them."
"Huh? You mean 'raise'?"
Seeing his confused look, Li Lanzhen was also a little surprised, and repeated herself.
"I mean, now that the temperature is right, we can take out the rice seeds and cultivate the seedlings first. When the seedlings have grown two leaves, we can transplant them into the fields."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Deshui.
At this moment, Zhang Deshui stopped smoking and stared blankly ahead.
Not knowing what was causing his daze, Li Lanzhen remained silent, simply waiting for him to drift off into his own thoughts.
"Oh my, my Lanzhen, you really are a lucky star!!"
You are our lucky star, sent to save us!
