Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 240 The Shen Sisters
In the afternoon of the next day, Xie refused to be driven back home by sending a message to the boy at home.

Xu Boyan, who was still teaching people how to fertilize and nourish the land, straightened up after hearing this.

"A member of Mr. Shen's family?"

It was not convenient to explain all this to him at this moment, so he declined and had no choice but to wash his hands and get on his horse. Fortunately, Shen Yiming had greeted him early last night.

"Senior brother, it's a long story. I'll go back and take a look first, and I'll leave this to you first."

Xu Boyan nodded in response, and after declining the offer, walked away, leaving behind the boy who was delivering the message at home.

Everyone in the house knew that he was a senior brother who respected and respected him, and that he had agricultural skills, so no servants in the house dared to slack off.

The boy was going to catch up with him.

After being called by him, he quickly dismounted and came to listen to the order.

"Master Xu calls me to give you some instructions?"

He waved and asked in a calm tone: "Who sent you here?"

"It's Manager Xue."

Oh, is it Xue Hanxiang?
He thought it would be Shen Yiming.

"Didn't Manager Xue explain anything?" Xu Boyan asked again.

The boy slapped his head and said, "Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Manager Xue also said four words, which seemed to be something like that... The person who came here is not kind! That's right, the person who came here is not kind!"

Xu Boyan threw down the hoe in his hand and patted the plant ashes on his hand. He didn't even have time to wash it, "Remember to talk about such an important thing first next time! Give me the horse!"

The boy handed over the reins in a daze, and after everyone had run away, he finally realized: "But I don't know what it means to be unkind... Hey! Mr. Xu, you rode away from my horse, that little man How to go back..."

Xie Xie and Xu Boyan returned to the Hou Mansion almost immediately.

At that time, Xue Hanxiang had already asked people to welcome the two girls from the Shen family into the main hall.

Fortunately, in the past month, Fuzhong's infrastructure has been upgraded and improved a lot, and it doesn't look as shabby and poor as before.

"Second Miss is back." A servant reported outside.

Shen Yiming stood up in panic, and as soon as he raised his head, he ran into Xie Rui's eyes.

Today she was going to the fields to demonstrate how to gain weight to the refugees and people outside the city, so she only wore a pair of narrow-sleeved gray uniforms, which looked a bit elegant and simple.

Shen Hong and Shen Rao stood up, looked at her, and saluted, "Brother and sister, I've been waiting for you."

Siblings?
She declined and raised her eyebrows. The last time she accompanied Shen Yiming back to Nanling, Shen Hong only dared to call herself "Miss Xie" in a strange way, but this time she dared to admit her marriage openly.

Shen Yiming came to her side casually, and introduced with a somewhat stiff smile on his face: "This is my second sister Shen Rao."

She smiled and nodded, "Two sisters came suddenly and you don't know why?"

The rejection made the Shen sisters, who had always been sleek and sophisticated, stunned.

"Since my younger brother and sister have asked, I won't hide it from you and just tell you straight away." Shen Hong cupped her hands and said, "My mother heard that a new farming technology suddenly emerged in Liangzhou, so she specially sent us two sisters to come and introduce it. To inquire, but to learn.”

"I'm afraid my brothers and sisters don't know something. The reason why business and reselling is prevalent in our Nanling area is because the harvest of the fields in the city is too low. The people of Nanling are quick-thinking. It happens to be located at the strategic point of the three cities and the waterway is smooth. This is why I came up with a way to sell things here and there to make a living." But he didn't expect that Shen Hong came here to learn how to farm.

Of course, what surprised her even more was that the resumption of farming in Liangzhou was only established at the beginning of this month. Although Nanling is not too far from Liangzhou and only takes two days by water, has this news spread? Too fast?
"Who told you that Liangzhou has new farming technology?" she asked directly.

Shen Hong met her scrutiny and replied impartially: "Brothers and sisters, have you forgotten that last month, Saburo sent a letter home, asking for mother's help in packing some food for shipment?"

It’s just tens of thousands of stones of grain, and Liangzhou is as big as a city.

Is it possible that I can still eat it for a whole month?
Xie didn't know that Shen Yiming had been out and about for so many years and had rarely contacted his family, but this time he took the initiative to write a letter back to ask for help. What does this mean? It shows that it has reached the point of being forced to do so.

The old lady of the Shen family would definitely not promise to help easily. In addition to sending people to Liangzhou overnight to find out the news, she even made nearly double the price of food from Shen Yiming.

This is the nature of a businessman.

Everything is inseparable from the word "profit".

Shen Hong's words made Xie Xie think of a lot for a moment. She was not someone who liked to hide things.

Since the Shen family came all the way and sincerely wanted a piece of the pie, she would naturally welcome them.

She smiled and nodded, "Having said that, I actually remembered it."

Shen Yiming suddenly took her arm and said, "The courtyard is being repaired in the mansion. It's very inconvenient. The eldest sister and the second sister have come a long way and haven't rested yet. I want to take them to stay in an inn first."

Before he could reply, Shen Rao, who had been standing beside Shen Hong silently, sneered: "Sanlang treats us as outsiders."

"Sure enough, when a married man throws water, his elbows are always turned outward."

Shen Hong didn't speak, she just kept staring at the expression of refusal.

Seeing her frown, Shen Hong immediately reprimanded: "Second sister, one family does not talk about two families. Sanlang is now married, so naturally he should be more considerate. You are out of touch."

I don’t know if the two of them were acting in front of others or something.

Shen Rao immediately became angry, put the tea cup heavily on the table, and said in a strange tone: "Sister, you don't know, my mother has written to Sanlang several times, but has he replied once? Isn't it clear that he wants to be with me? Should our Shen family disassociate themselves from each other? Besides, we just want to use the Hou Mansion’s help to find out information, so how can we stick to the Mansion?”

"Why do you have to do this..."

"That's enough." Xie Xie glanced at her coldly, "Did the Shen family girl forget that this is in my Yongchang Marquis Mansion?"

How could they dare to scold Shen Yiming like this in front of her when they both wanted something from each other?
Shen Rao's face turned red and she apologized profusely. She originally thought that the Xie family had lost power because they were demoted to a place where birds couldn't poop and chickens couldn't lay eggs, so her words became sharp and rude.

For a moment, I forgot that officialdom suppresses people to death.

Not to mention that the person standing in front of her was the general Houfu who had made great achievements in Jiyue.

She immediately leaned over to admit her mistake.

Even Shen Yiming noticed her sullenness and persuaded her softly, "My second sister is upright and doesn't know what to say. Don't be angry. I'll apologize to you on her behalf."

She declined but looked at him, "You and I, husband and wife, are one and the same. Logically speaking, if you are coming from my own family, our Marquis' Mansion should be polite and send someone to welcome him with thoughtful etiquette. Then we can properly fulfill our friendship as a landlord. Great hospitality.”

"But what does it mean that this letter from your family is only addressed to you? Does this mean you don't take our Xie family seriously?"
