Chapter 217 Chu Lan's Exploration

And at that time, Chu Lan couldn't easily trust anyone, even Yuan Zhengqin, who was the prefect, couldn't trust Chu Lan.

In comparison, Fan Chengxu is more trustworthy.

Because Fan Chengxu is considered a half-outsider, Chu Lan doesn't know what the plans of the Fan family behind him are, but Fan Chengxu himself is a different kind. When the two of them were studying together, he was a person who only thought about how to do business and make money all day long. .

Although Fan Chengxu studied and studied with many princes, he has never been close to any prince, and he does not want to be involved in any struggle, and he is not close to Chu Lan.

Once Chu Lan, Fan Chengxu, and other princes who went to school together played Feihua Ling together, and each took a nickname. Qingyuan was Fan Chengxu's nickname at that time, and Zongyu was Chu Lan's nickname.

Therefore, Fan Chengxu not only recognized Chu Lan's handwriting, but also immediately confirmed that the person who wrote the letter was Chu Lan when he saw the signature Zong Yu.

Because the letter only mentioned the matter of borrowing money, Fan Chengxu kept quiet after thinking about it. He just sent the bank note and provided help within his ability.

As Chu Lan expected, Fan Chengxu did not inform anyone, including his powerful uncle.

After thinking for a while, Fan Chengxu took the box of jewels.

"Grass people thank Your Highness for your kindness."

Fan Chengxu, who received the gift of thanks, quietly waited for Chu Lan's follow-up question.

He knew that if it was just to "repay the money", Chu Lan would not make the trip in person. Since he came, there must be other things.

But Chu Lan didn't mention it, and Fan Chengxu didn't take the initiative to ask.

After being silent for a while, Chu Lan asked, "Did you get any news about my attack this time?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness. I only know so much about your injury. Before I received your letter, I only knew that you were attacked and disappeared, and I didn't know anything else." Fan Chengxu immediately disassociated himself from it.

"As a local snake in Taizhou Prefecture, there should be many eyes and ears here." Chu Lan said.

"Although I have been in Taizhou Prefecture for some years, I have spent most of my mind on doing business, and I don't know much about other things." Fan Chengxu replied without leaking anything.

"Then who do you think might have killed me?" Chu Lan asked again.

His sharp eyes examined Fan Chengxu, as if he wanted to see some flaws in Fan Chengxu's body.

"Your Highness, how dare I make wild guesses?" Fan Chengxu smiled, still leaking nothing.

"Then do you know that someone recently presented a suicide note written by Xu Guogong to the emperor, hoping to reverse the case for Xu Guogong." Chu Lan suddenly mentioned a name that no one dared to mention publicly for a long time.

"Xu Guogong's autographed suicide note? How could it be? Eighteen years have passed. The house of Xu Guogong was ransacked and turned upside down. How could you wait until now to have a suicide note..."

Fan Chengxu showed a surprised expression.

Fan Chengxu said again: "Besides, eighteen years have passed, and all the people related to Xu Guogong's mansion are bones. Who else will reverse the case for Xu Guogong's mansion?"

"Don't forget, Empress Xu gave birth to a child in Jing'an Temple back then." Chu Lan said.

"Your Highness, stop joking. The Ninth Prince was buried on Longhuan Mountain in the west of the capital. The Emperor even built a Prince's Mausoleum just for him."

This treatment is only available to the Ninth Prince, and also to the princes who died before, but none of them have this treatment.

"But the recent rumors are that he is still alive." Chu Lan said.

"This is unlikely..."

"Impossible, some things have already happened." Chu Lan said.

"The grassroots don't know." Fan Chengxu could only smile apologetically.

Looking at Fan Chengxu's appearance, Chu Lan knew that she couldn't ask any questions.

Then he turned and left.

It was not until Chu Lan left that Fan Chengxu waved his fan helplessly and sighed: "It's really troublesome. I have hidden so far away. How can trouble still find me here?"

He only cares about making money, if Chu Lan wants to pull him into the water, he won't jump down foolishly.

When he received Chu Lan's letter, he had no choice but to help, so he contributed money and effort.

###

The twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, the beginning of spring.

The weather is getting warmer, and the new year's farming will also begin.

When Wei Ruo arrived at Zhuangzi, the people in Zhuangzi had already been busy all morning.

Manager Yu smiled and explained to Wei Ruo: "Last year, everyone was almost hungry and cold. This year, they are determined to farm well and have enough to eat, so they started working when the temperature got warmer. I've gone through it all, and I'm just waiting for your boss to speak."

"Improved and fertilized the land last year. This year, I will put in more effort to turn it into a paddy field. After two months, I will start to plant seedlings and prepare to sow seedlings. This year may still be colder than usual, so I planted earlier." Wei Wei If ordered.

Wei Ruos Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Fucheng is mainly divided into two parts. The original fertile land was 1,000 mu, and the newly purchased land with less fertile soil was almost 1,000 mu.

900 mu of the original 1,000 mu of fertile land have been planted with her new wheat seeds, and they are growing well now. Last year's heavy snow didn't have a big impact on them, and they just need to wait for the harvest in April and May.

There is also 100 acres of fertile land planted with cold-resistant vegetablesrape, radish, cabbage, etc. Except for the days of heavy snow, some can be picked every day.

The more than 1,000 mu of land purchased later has been improving and fertilizing since last year, and it is almost ready now. After the land is turned over, leveled, and irrigated, it will be used for sowing rice.

"I was a little worried that the seedlings would not grow well if they were planted too early, and the temperature is not too high now." Guanshi Yu said.

"Don't worry, I will bring some good grain seeds over here, and you will plant them according to my instructions, and there will be no problem." Wei Ruo was confident.

"Okay." The boss was so sure, so Guanshi Yu had no doubts.

Stayed on Zhuangzi all morning, and when I got home in the afternoon, Cuiping came to invite me before my **** was hot.

"Miss, madam, please go over."

Wei Ruo wondered if Yun was annoyed at his running out again.

In the past few days, because Mr. Wang Caiwei has not returned to Taizhou, she has not been to Tianqin Garden for class. It coincides with the beginning of spring, and Wei Ruo went to Zhuangzi to arrange matters when she was free.

Wei Ruo did not ask any further questions, and followed Cuiping to Cangyun Garden.

After entering the door, Yun called Wei Ruo to sit down beside him with a smile on his face.

"Why did my mother find me here?" Wei Ruo asked.

"It's like this. Your father was promoted last year, and he also received some rewards. In addition to his mother's dowry, he was able to scrape together seven or eight hundred taels of silver. Mother wants to use this money to buy some property in Fucheng."

Yun's family is also smart, and if they have money, they will buy property.

Their home is the Zhuangzi in Xingshan County, which is definitely not enough.
