Chapter 277: Chu Lan is looking for her

Chapter 277 Chu Lan has something to look for her

Those children who were up for sale looked at a loss, their eyes did not have the clarity of children of this age, and some were helpless and hesitant.

"Meimei, is it my illusion? How do you feel that there are a lot more homeless people on the street recently?" Wei Ruo raised the curtain and said to Xiumei who was driving.

"It's not Miss's delusion. Not every county in Taizhou Prefecture is as lucky as Xingshan County. The people in some counties didn't have a good harvest last year, and the food they saved could last until this year at most. Even if they sold their homes, they wouldn't be able to last for a few more months." , I heard that many of them borrowed money from the landlord to plant this year's land, but they encountered a cold wave a few days ago, which completely cut off their hope, so the number of homeless people on the street has increased these days. "

Speaking, Xiumei sighed: "I guess there will be more in the next few days. If there is no good harvest this year, everyone really doesn't know how to live."

This is the case even in Fucheng, and the county below does not know what it looks like.

Wei Ruo's expression was slightly gloomy. Although he had already guessed that such a situation might happen, his mood would still be affected after seeing it with his own eyes.

After wandering around the city for a while, when it was almost time, Wei Ruo asked Xiumei to drive back to Xiaowei's Mansion.

Wei Ruo entered the mansion through the small door on the side. Before going home, Wei Ruo had already changed his outfit in the carriage.

When getting off the car, Wei Ruo saw a carriage parked in front of the main entrance, and several strange guards were guarding it.

Intuition told Wei Ruo that someone with an unusual identity came to the mansion.

Xiumei was a little worried when she saw it: "Miss, is there something wrong in the mansion?"

"The soldiers come to cover the water and cover it with soil, and we can talk about it when we go back."

When Wei Ruo and Xiumei entered Tingsong Garden, they saw a familiar figure.

Nurse Qin stood at the door of Tingsongyuan with a smile on her face, waiting for Wei Ruo respectfully.

Wei Ruo's heart sank slightly. When he saw the battle at the door, Wei Ruo already guessed that it might be Chu Lan who came to the house.

Now that I see Mother Qin, I can be sure that it is Chu Lan.

It's a blessing, not a disaster, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Wei Ruo stepped forward and said hello to Nanny Qin: "I have met you."

"Hi, Miss. It's been a long time since I saw you. The girl is getting more and more charming." Mother Qin praised.

Wei Ruozhi just smiled and didn't take it seriously when he knew it was a compliment.

"It must not be a coincidence that Nanny came to the house today. Since she came to look for me, she must have something to do. Please come to the house and let's talk slowly." Wei Ruo said.

Nurse Qin replied with a smile: "Young lady has such a delicate mind, you really can't hide anything. I really came to find young lady for something."

Wei Ruo nodded and smiled, and then invited Mother Qin into Tingsong Garden.

Arriving in the house, after taking a seat, Wei Ruo asked Mother Qin about the specifics of coming to find her today.

If Wei Ruo was straight to the point and didn't drag his feet, Mother Qin went straight to the point: "Actually, it's His Highness the Seventh Prince's intention to come here."

"I don't know what orders your Highness has?" Wei Ruodao, with a calm face, calm and unhurried, already had guesses in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to speak, waiting for Mother Qin to clarify.

"The eldest girl is smart. Thanks to the eldest daughter, the wasteland in the south of Xingshan County ushered in a bumper harvest of wheat, and the rice planted now is growing gratifyingly. According to the situation, this is the most worrying development in Taizhou Prefecture's grain production." Shan County may be able to match other counties this year."

Nurse Qin is also an old man. Before hiring someone to do something, she still did not forget to praise Wei Ruo first.

Wei Ruo smiled and remained silent.

Mother Qin went on to say: "The current situation in the Jiangnan area is known to the eldest girl. If this situation continues, I am afraid that this year's grain harvest will be short again, and the life of the people will be miserable day by day. War, heavy taxes."

This is to reason with Wei Ruoxiaozhi.

Wei Ruo answered: "Yes, food is the most important thing for the people. If there is no food, everyone's life is sad."

Nurse Qin said: "That's why His Highness the Seventh Highness hopes that the eldest girl can act again and help the people in other places in Taizhou Prefecture to expand their farmland to relieve the suffering of the people."

In addition to the saline-alkali land in Xingshan County, Taizhou Prefecture also has a lot of such land in other counties. If it can be used like Xingshan County to increase the area of cultivated land, even if the grain yield per mu decreases, the final output can be guaranteed.

Wei Ruo didn't answer immediately, but just sighed lightly.

Mother Qin was a little worried when she saw this. She knew about the incident in the south of Xingshan County. When His Highness reported to the court, he did not mention that the eldest daughter of the Wei family had treated the eldest daughter badly. Now she wants someone to help improve the wasteland. Some opinions are also human nature.

Mother Qin waited for a while and then said to Wei Ruo earnestly: "Miss, there are many things in the court that women in the court can't think about. Since the founding of our dynasty, there are very few clan women who have been publicly rewarded. , Your Highness can't set a precedent for the eldest girl."

Nurse Qin said again: "But your highness has always remembered the talents and achievements of the young lady, and the grace that should be given will not be less than that of the young lady."

Nurse Qin has made it very clear. If Wei is a girl in a boudoir, it will be difficult for her to be publicly praised for doing something meaningful to the people of her country.

Although Chu Lan can't help Wei Ruo report his achievements, he will reward Wei Ruo himself and give Wei Ruo his reward grace.

Wei Ruo answered unhurriedly: "It's not that I don't understand what Mammy said, but Mammy also knows that I'm just a girl in a boudoir, and I've reached the age to discuss marriage. Even if I can't honor the lintel, I shouldn't embarrass the Earl's Mansion. If I go out all day, do farm work, and hang out with men, I may be inappropriate."

Wei Ruo rejected Nanny Qin by quoting the words that Mrs. Yun did not allow her to go out.

Qin Nanny continued to persuade: "Miss, in fact, although His Highness can't ask the court for rewards for you, there are many officials in the Wei family. An opportune time."

Wei Ruo could tell that Nanny Qin was telling her that her deeds could help the men of the Wei family. If her father was promoted to a noble, her status would naturally rise accordingly.

This would work for ordinary people, but Wei Ruo never intended to rely on the Wei family.

Growing up in modern times, she has firmly believed that women should rely on themselves, not on their parents and elder brothers. Even though she is now in a world that is very unfriendly to women, her idea has not wavered Pass.

Wei Ruo answered Nanny Qin calmly: "I understand what you mean, but I really don't have much time to do these things for the time being, and my ability is limited. The last incident in the south of the city was due to a certain amount of luck. I may not have such good luck once.
