Chapter 274: I don’t know him, but I know who he is
After spending these days together, Shen Jing's performance has been very good. Seeing that he is really dedicated to working for her, Shen Ruolan's attitude towards him has become better than before.
Shen Jing looked at the delicious food in front of him, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He glanced at his sister, took the food and whispered, "Thank you, sister."
Shen Ruolan looked at him and said, "Go eat."
After saying that, she turned around and went about her own business.
Shen Jing found a corner in the yard and sat down, lowering his head to eat the food in the bowl. It was extremely delicious. He felt that this was the most fragrant and delicious meal he had ever eaten since he came out of the Lan Mansion.
More importantly, this was something his sister had specially reserved for him, which made him feel warm inside. This was a treatment he had never received in the Lan Mansion.
Shen Jing thought of the Lan Mansion and what his sisters had experienced in the past. He secretly swore in his heart that he must learn martial arts well just to be a support for his sisters.
Shen Ruolan didn't know what Shen Jing was thinking, but even if she knew, she wouldn't feel anything, because even her biological father was unreliable, let alone this half-brother.
She was more tolerant of him simply because he performed well. She didn't have any more expectations of him, she just hoped that he wouldn't cause her any trouble.
An hour later, Shen Ruolan was so tired that she slumped in a chair and asked Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, have you figured it out? How much did grandpa give you?"
Ji Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to his master, "Master, the things sent by Medicine King Valley are 30,000 catties of rice, 15,000 catties of wheat, and 5,000 catties of other grains..."
Ji Ning wrote down in detail the things that Shen Qi gave to Shen Ruolan in a notebook, and reported them to her master one by one. After the report was completed, she said to her master: "Master, those gold, silver, jewelry and other things should be sent to your room. It doesn't seem to be very safe to put them somewhere else."
Shen Ruolan responded to Ji Ning: "Okay, put it in my room for now."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she said to herself: "It seems that building a house is imminent."
She had originally planned to wait until everything in the mountains was back to normal before preparing to dry the soil, burn bricks and build a house, but now it seems she can't wait and has to do it in advance.
When Ji Ning heard about building a house, she hesitated for a moment and asked her master, "Master, what kind of house should we build?"
Shen Ruolan took a break, then stood up from her chair and said, "I originally planned to build a brick house, but now it's too late to make bricks and tiles myself, so I can only build a wooden house for the time being."
The roof is currently made of grass. After the soil and everything is ready, she will burn tiles to replace the grass on the roof. After everyone has a house to live in, she will consider building a brick house that she likes.
Ji Ning nodded and said thoughtfully, "Last time, Wang, the chef in the west kitchen, was complaining that it was a pity to cut down such a big tree for firewood. It would be great if it was used to build a house."
When Ji Ning said this, she paused and said to her master, "Master, do you want me to inform everyone to burn the small firewood and save the big ones for building the house?"
They reclaimed a lot of wasteland in the mountains, and all the trees, big and small, were cut down. Some of the trees were so big that one person could not hug them, so it was a pity to cut them down for firewood.
If such a big tree is made into planks, the wood will definitely be of good quality, and it is almost dry, so it is perfect for building houses.
Shen Ruolan responded to Ji Ning: "Well, go inform them now and go to sleep. I'm sleepy."
When Ji Ning heard that her master was sleepy, she bowed to her and said, "Yes, master."
After Ji Ning left, Shen Ruolan took a comfortable bath and went to bed.
The next day, Shen Ruolan got up early and prepared breakfast for the two children. After feeding the two children, she also had some breakfast with her grandfather and others, then went to the fields with a backpack on her back.
Seeing this, Su Qianqian quickly stopped Shen Ruolan and looked at her uncomfortably and asked, "Village leader, when will you treat my son?"
Su Qianqian admitted that she was indeed a little anxious, but her master's health was getting worse day by day, and she really couldn't wait any longer.
Shen Ruolan listened to Su Qianqian's question, she thought for a moment and said: "Let your master wait for a while, I will go to help him see the doctor after I finish the things at hand."
"Okay, thank you, village chief." Su Qianqian knew that Shen Ruolan would treat her own young master soon, and she looked at her with gratitude and responded.
Shen Ruolan nodded to her and went down the mountain carrying the backpack.
Ji Ning, who was walking in front, seemed to have thought of something. She quickly said to Shen Ruolan, "Oh, my Lord, when you left Fuzhai, a very mysterious master and servant came behind you. They said they wanted to see you for medical treatment. When we told him that you had left Fuzhai, his face turned scary dark."
After Shen Ruolan heard Ji Ning's words, she hesitated for a moment and asked her, "Then how did he leave in the end?"
Shen Ruolan could vaguely guess what Ji Ning meant by master and servant, because Jiang Dichen had mentioned to her that Jiang Qing came to Cang Ling City to see her for medical treatment.
Ji Ning said: "He stayed in the mountains for half a month, and when they saw that you showed no signs of coming back, they left."
"By the way, I found that Shen Jing was quite afraid of him. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't meet the master and servant." After Ji Ning finished speaking, she suddenly thought of Shen Jing's abnormality, and she reported it to her master again.
Shen Ruolan heard Shen Jing's fear, so it was most likely Crown Prince Jiang Qing. She was silent for a moment, then said to Ji Ning: "I know who it is."
After hearing what her master said, Ji Ning looked at her in surprise and asked, "Master, do you know them?"
Shen Ruolan shook her head and said, "I don't really know him, but I know who he is."
"Oh" Ji Ning understood. It was someone he didn't interact with but knew.
As the master and servant were talking, they had already arrived at the field. Shen Ruolan looked at the rice growing well in the field and said in a good mood, "I didn't expect that crops in this barren field would grow so well for the first time."
After hearing what her master said, Ji Ning smiled and replied, "Manager Miao said that it was because you asked everyone to ferment manure in time, otherwise the rice would not grow so well."
Shen Ruolan bent down and pulled weeds in the field and said, "Mass fermentation is only one of the problems. The main thing is that everyone has put in a lot of effort. Otherwise, that little bit of fertilizer would not be of much use."
After pulling out the weeds, Shen Ruolan stood on the edge of the field. She could see that each piece of land was managed very carefully. The soil in the fields was soft, probably because the weeds had been removed not long ago. The water level in each field was maintained at about one finger's depth, which was very suitable for rice growth.
Sure enough, as long as I find the right person to manage things, I can save myself a lot of trouble, which is great.
