164 Trip 3
Rou Rou gently stroked a few of the plants, then nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Good, they've all survived. Water them every morning or evening for the next few days, and that'll be fine. A rain would be even better."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Weng immediately took over, saying, "Madam, rest assured, leave this to me. I will arrange for people to water them all before evening. If there are any problems, we will report to you."
Rou Rou felt a little shy being addressed as "Madam Weng," and nodded. She quickly came to Wei Lan's side.
Wei Lan asked, "Rou Rou, will these sweet potato seeds grow again? Can we continue to propagate them by cuttings?"
Rou Rou nodded and said, "Yes, it's possible, but it probably won't be that fast. It needs to be watered morning and evening."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "The ones from before seemed to grow very easily too. The fruit grows underground."
Old Man Weng nodded to indicate that he understood, and replied, "Yes, Madam, I will arrange for someone to plant them." Old Man Weng then summoned his attendants and instructed them to take good care of the crops and keep records.
Wei Lan whispered to Old Man Weng, "This crop is called sweet potato. If it's easy to grow, it can be cultivated on a large scale in the future."
Old Weng replied, "Yes, Madam, please rest assured. I will arrange for someone to keep records. Once these sweet potatoes have sprouted and grown well, I will arrange for someone to plant several acres. And I will keep records. I wonder if the sweet potato leaves are edible?"
Judging from the color of these leaves, if they are edible, that would be a great thing. They could also be used to feed horses, cattle, and sheep, allowing us to raise more.
After Mr. Weng finished speaking, he waited to take a closer look.
Rourou said softly, "It's edible, non-toxic, and tastes alright."
After listening, Old Man Weng replied, "Thank you for your explanation, Madam. If this crop is easy to grow, it will be a great thing. Rice crops aren't very good here on the border; our main food is flour (oat flour). If we could find such an easy-to-grow crop, we could cultivate it on a large scale in areas with distant water sources."
Then he said to Yun Su and Xie Huayu, "Madam, the mansion is basically completed. Would you like to take a look when you have time? The specific layout inside still needs your approval."
Yun Su nodded, looking at everyone, "Sisters and younger sisters, why don't we go take a look together today? If it's already built, we can make a list of the items we like and add them later." The women were all very happy and agreed to go take a look together.
At that moment, a fast horse arrived quickly. On horseback, a man dressed in plain dark clothes, with a sword at his waist and the words "Security" embroidered on his chest, swiftly reached Jin Luo's side and whispered something in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Jin Luo nodded and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your hard work! The reward must be paid in full. Also, if you have any more specific information, the reward will be doubled. Release this information."
"Yes," the man said, bowing before bowing to everyone present. He then mounted his horse and rode away quickly.
Jin Luo stepped forward, and Yun Su spoke, "Inspector Jin, please speak."
Jin Luo immediately said, "Madam, we have just received intelligence that there are rumors circulating among the bandits in the surrounding mountains that a group of about a thousand people will soon pass through Wanzhou."
This team contains tens of thousands of taels of gold, millions of silver notes, as well as immortal cultivation manuals and high-grade elixirs.
Many bandits deep in the border region and in the surrounding areas received the information, and some of them began to come to Wanzhou and nearby counties in batches.
This news came from the caravan. Our market is probably a bandit stronghold. Since bandits have arrived, they won't be peaceful. I'll go back and strengthen patrols. Also, increase patrols inside the city.
Yun Su and Piao Miaoyue exchanged a glance. The intentions of these bandits were very similar to those of Yun Qing and her group! It seemed that things were not going so smoothly.
Piaomiaoyue's eyes turned cold as she said, "Guardian Wei, Inspector Jin, you two immediately increase security patrols in the market. If you spot anyone suspicious, notify me immediately."
The two men quickly replied, "Yes, Madam."
The group returned to the carriage and leisurely made their way to the new mansion. After the women alighted from the carriage, they looked at the magnificent and spacious mansion before them and their hearts were filled with anticipation.
Old Master Weng explained, "Madam, the mansion covers six acres, with two large gardens and four smaller gardens. There are six pavilions and two interconnected ponds!"
Ladies, please take your time reviewing this. If there's anything that needs improvement, please let me know.
After saying this, the three of them left immediately after the women went inside. Wes and Jinluo exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of tension in each other's eyes. This was the first time they had faced potential bandits, people who killed without blinking an eye. They would draw their knives and kill at the slightest provocation!
After the women entered, they saw that the courtyard was very large and the basic decorations had already been done. Yun Su and the other women walked around and looked at the courtyard.
Piaomiaoyue said, "We need to inform Sister Yunqing and Chenlang about this as soon as possible. These bandits aren't very strong, but I'm afraid people from the royal city might also be involved."
Yun Su nodded. "Yes, it seems someone doesn't want to see Sister Yun Qing arrive peacefully, and is even trying to drag Father into it. I'll contact Sister Yun Qing right away."
He Chen estimated that he had slept for half an hour and slowly woke up. At this moment, with a slight movement, the four of them also quickly woke up.
His face was flushed, and his whole body was so limp that he didn't want to move a single finger. However, an unprecedented feeling of refreshment emanated from the very bones of his body.
They felt incredibly comfortable all over, but didn't want to move. They shifted positions, snuggling close together. A jolt of electricity ran through them.
A moment later, the group put on vests and unlined skirts and were helped out of the secret room.
Guided, we arrived at a large bathtub.
He Chen was drenched in sweat and was seated in the center of the bath. Hui Fu and Bai Rong were pressed tightly against his back, gently massaging his shoulders, while Dan Ru and Qing Ti were on either side, gently wiping him, leaving no part untouched.
Then she stood directly in front, her legs straight, long and slender, pressed tightly together.
Huifu quickly went out for a short while and then returned just as quickly. She then wrapped her arms around her neck from behind.
As evening fell, the air grew restless, a subtle fragrance wafting through the air. Ripples spread across the water's surface, sometimes large, sometimes small.
Her hair swayed back and forth and side to side.
Fish splashed on the surface of the water, and the ocean, like its ever-flowing waves, produced a continuous sound of splashing water.
An hour later, nestled tightly in his arms, he felt languid and listless, not wanting to move.
Inside the room, two women were preparing clothes for the group: a pink dress, a high-necked dress, and Xiao Cui dressed in a bright green outfit—a short-sleeved, cross-collar dress.
She asked, "Sister Li, what did Madam say just now that she was in such a hurry?" Then she whispered, "Just now, I saw that Madam seemed very satisfied; her eyes were practically beaming with joy."
