The black-bellied lord, the first wife is mighty!

Rural farms in various regions have received Myolie's instructions, and the person in charge personally leads people to vigorously publicize the necessity and benefits of drilling deep water wells.They also appealed to wealthy families to donate money and materials to dig deep water wells, or to make winter clothes and dried sweet potatoes and send them to the front line.

All of a sudden, everyone responded one after another, and Princess Anran's reputation was greatly shaken.

Kind and honest, intelligent and wise, he can go to the court, enter the kitchen, and go down to the farmland. He is patriotic and concerned about the people.In a word: She is really a rare woman who is rare in a thousand years!

The Holy Majesty issued a decree: "Chai Xing'er, the owner of Anran County, is virtuous and virtuous, intelligent and wise, strong and courageous, patriotic and concerned about the people, benefiting the people, supporting the border soldiers, she is indeed a role model for thousands of women in Anlan Country... Canonized as a princess of the first grade, bestowed with a sword on Shangfang, who can kill corrupt officials at the top, and destroy villains at the bottom! The mother of Princess Anran was conferred the title of Mrs. Shude, and the title of Mrs. Shude; The lord's elder sister, Chai Tao'er, is the official fifth-rank county lord, and her title is Ruyi county lord..."

Next, they recited the brocades, jewelry, etc., and the one who came to read out the will was none other than Xinger's very friendly Eunuch Li!Zhinong Xingzhuang.

"All blessings to the princess, thousands of years to the princess!" Eunuch Li bowed to Xing'er after reading the imperial decree.That attitude was incomparably respectful, and he had never been so respectful to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager in the palace.

This Princess Anran really has nothing to say!

Xing'er hosted a banquet in honor of Eunuch Li, and packed out a small guest house in the academy, and invited Eunuch Li and three personal guards to live in, while the other thirty guards accompanying him were placed in the student dormitory of the academy.The students temporarily had a three-day vacation, and the dormitory was vacated for the guards to live in. Several teachers also took time to help Xing'er entertain the guests.

Lord Tai also came with Eunuch Li. Mrs. Su and Uncle Chai Liang drank tea and chatted with Lord Tai. Eunuch Li proposed to go for a walk on the white beach: "Princess, I heard that there is a white beach in Taoranju. Take our family to see it?" He said, winking at Xing'er.

Xing'er understood, and responded readily: "Alright, I just want to go out to get some fresh air, so let's go out with my eunuch to enjoy the river breeze!" Then she smiled and looked at Mrs. Tai and the others: "I'm going out for a walk, please take care of yourself." Let's go!" As he said, he winked naughtily at Mr. Tai.

"You guys go first, I want to drink tea and eat some spiced peanuts before going!" Master Tai laughed, this girl is weird.

Walking in the field in the bleak autumn wind, Eunuch Li lowered his voice: "Princess, Empress Dowager Roujia found out about Princess Emerald's plan to harm the princess' father. The queen mother was very angry and asked our family to tell the princess. I will definitely seek justice for the princess! The Shangfang sword, and the appointment of the princess's mother as a first-class wife are all proposed by the empress dowager!"

Xing'er was silent, but tears welled up in her heart: Empress Dowager, thank you!Thank you for your condescension, obeying Xing'er's arrangement, not revealing Aniang's identity to the Holy Majesty, allowing Xing'er's family to spend this special period safely.Thank you also for being so kind to my mother, you are a great mother, Myolie thanked you on behalf of my mother! .

Eunuch Li handed Xing'er a luxurious and compelling walk: "This red phoenix Chaoyang walk is the most beloved headgear of the empress dowager. In order to thank the princess for her contribution to the court and the people, the empress dowager specially Give this step to Mrs. Shude."

The father-in-law was full of laughter and was sincerely happy for Xing'er. It is a great blessing to be favored and protected by the empress dowager.In the future, if anyone in the government and the public wants to bully Xing'er, he will have to think twice!

Xing'er bowed profusely: "Thank you father-in-law for speaking kindly about Xing'er in front of the empress dowager, and thank you father-in-law for speaking kindly about Xing'er in front of the Holy Father, thank you father-in-law for your sincere love for Xing'er! Xing'er has nothing to repay, what will father-in-law do in the future?" If you need help, please feel free to tell Xing'er, you are welcome!"

Eunuch Li shook his head with a smile: "Since the princess is so polite, then our family should be more respectful than obedient. Thank you, princess!" It will become a kind of capital for his life-saving.

This is the cycle of cause and effect, sowing melons reaps melons.

When the Spring Festival came, the river had dried up, and the original wells did not produce much water.Fortunately, every village has drilled at least five deep-water wells, which alleviated the water shortage.However, it is only enough to ensure drinking water for cooking, and the water for washing vegetables and rice is fully utilized.

After washing vegetables and rice, put it in a large water tank and save it to wash your feet before going to bed.After washing the feet, the water is stored in wooden basins and used to water the vegetable fields.A house was built for each of the five deep-water wells, and the water was drawn in the morning and evening, and special personnel were assigned to guard them.For each household, there are three buckets of water per person, and those who have finished drawing water must sign or affix their fingerprints on the "Water Taking Registration Book".And the three families who lined up to get water together signed or stamped their fingerprints in the witness column, indicating that this family has already fetched water that day.

Even so, the water level in the deep well is still gradually dropping.Looking at the backing mountain, there are no green leaves to be seen, and the sky and the earth are gray.Fortunately, it was winter, although only a little "wheat grains" fell, but it was not as hot as summer.

Tao Ranju is close to a big river. Although the river is dry, it is still a bit wetter than other places.A total of five deep water wells were drilled in Tao Ranju, one in the house, one in the academy, one on the side of the bamboo building, and two beside the vegetable field.The amount of vegetables planted in the vegetable field has also dropped sharply compared to previous years, only one acre in size.

Xing'er handed over the vegetable field to Aunt Luo to take charge of the management. Aunt Luo is young and vigorous, hardworking and down-to-earth, a kind-hearted rural woman.It has been more than two years since I came to Myolie's house, and she has performed very well. Myolie has a good impression of her.

"Auntie, please bring a few people yourself and take good care of these vegetables and fruits. Li'er, Da'er, and An'er are all growing up, and Auntie's body also needs to be mended. No With so much meat to eat, at least vegetables, melons and fruits must be taken care of every day."

Aunt Luo quickly responded: "Princess, please rest assured, this small vegetable field will be well managed, and we will build a greenhouse tomorrow to ensure that all masters can eat fresh vegetables and fruits every day!"

It is winter now, and there is no need to tend the crops, and because of the drought, she doesn't even need to raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and sheep. Her main task every day is to tend such a vegetable field, so naturally she has to do her best.

Speaking of greenhouse vegetables, Xing'er couldn't help but think of the hot spring valley in Lishutun. The next day, accompanied by Dongfang Yunshu, Xing'er went to Lishutun.Maybe closing the mountain for forestation has worked. In the big mountains near Lishutun, the trees are still green, and the deep mountain stream still has a foot-deep water flow, which is crystal clear.

The hot spring valley is full of vitality, and it has been opened up into a vegetable field with a size of more than ten mu, which is verdant and verdant.Uncle Li is now the chief steward of Hot Spring Valley, he smiled and introduced to Xing'er: "Now, Xiangmanlou is supported by the vegetables and fruits here, and the carriages that deliver vegetables and fruits to the city every day will also carry ten The bucket of spring water was supplied to the teahouse (Lixian Teahouse under the Chaxiang Company). The money from selling the spring water went into the education fund in Lishutun, which was used to invite masters, repair the school, and reward those promising children!"

Xing'er nodded approvingly, and then seriously said: "Ten barrels a day is enough, no more, this drought will last for half a year! It is recommended to send someone to guard the water in this mountain stream, so as not to be disturbed by those The villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness covets to occupy it, and it will be bad when the time comes!"

"Yes, thank you Princess for your suggestion!" Second Uncle Li quickly responded respectfully.

This mountain stream is the only water source for the daily life of the villagers in Lishutun (the hot spring valley has been sold, and the water output there is not much, which can barely maintain the water for vegetable fields). In previous years, there were several streams Both the well water and the well water are now dry, leaving only the water in this mountain stream whose origin is not yet clear.

Xing'er brought a lot of presents to Mulan's family of three, fifty catties of sweet potatoes, thirty catties of flour, and 50 taels of silver.The silver was given to Father Pu: "Grandpa, it's dry outside now, and it's not as peaceful as in previous years. If there is no need, don't leave Lishutun. If you encounter any embarrassing things, it's best for someone to send me a letter." !"

Father Pu was very moved. He looked at Xing'er, and said guiltily and gratefully: "Xing'er, there is chaos outside, you have to be careful yourself. If there is something wrong, let adults and men rush ahead, you Don't be brave! Be nice to yourself and don't let your mother worry about you."

When Jing Jing was mentioned, Father Pu's eye circles couldn't help turning red. He also felt very distressed for this sensible adopted daughter.Chai Yao wrote the letter of divorce and came back, and he also heard about it, and he was extremely angry, but he was helpless.Fortunately, Jing Jing's sons and daughters are very sensible and obedient, especially Xing'er, who is also a princess.Otherwise, An Jing, the child, would not know how much he would suffer.

Aunt Pu couldn't see that Xing'er had given all the money to Father Pu, so she snorted coldly and said sarcastic remarks.Mulan hurriedly stopped her in a low voice, and gave Xing'er a shy smile. Aunt Pu was persuaded by her daughter, but she still looked at Xing'er coldly.

Xing'er didn't bother to pay any attention to her, and after talking to Mulan for a while, the village head invited her to dinner in person: "Xing'er, grandpa's house has prepared meals, and your uncle and uncle are waiting at home! Go home with grandpa." Let's eat!"

Laifu and Laixi have all gone to the capital now and have done a good job.The village chief's family are all very grateful to Xing'er, and every time she comes to Lishutun, they will treat her warmly.Xing'er was not too polite, so she agreed with a smile: "Okay! I happen to have something to do with Grandpa Li, so let's talk along the way!"
