Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

"what…"

After hearing what Shen Ping said, several people turned pale and hurriedly threw the beans in their hands to the ground. Stone wiped his palms on his pants and said in horror: "Madam, this thing is poisonous, why are you still growing it?"

Shen Ping smiled: "I haven't even finished talking yet and you've already thrown away the seeds. Pick them up and continue planting."

When everyone heard her say this, they scratched their heads in embarrassment, quickly packed up the seeds, and continued with their unfinished work.

Shen Ping then calmly said: "I know this thing, it's called yam, or earth melon.

Except for the tubers growing in the ground, everything else on the body is poisonous. And these pods are seeds. You must remember not to eat them. They are highly poisonous. "

"Oh! That's why." Shitou suddenly realized, "I was wondering, if it is poisonous, why would Madam plant it?"

Dadong glared at Shitou and said, "You are the only one making a fuss. How could you have thought of this? Madam is so smart, how could she not have thought of this!"

"That's right!" Hammer also teased.

A few people were talking and laughing, and soon they had planted more than half of the seeds. These 800 seeds can plant one acre of field, with a row spacing of 60. If they are planted too densely, the stems will not grow big.

At this time, more and more people came to the fields.

Many women saw Shen Ping coming to the fields early this morning. They looked like they didn't know her, so they walked closer to take a look. When they saw that it was indeed Shen Ping, they were immediately surprised.

Butcher Zhang's wife, Luo, said, "Mrs. Dachun, oh, no, it's Mrs. Yu, how can you come to the fields in person? There are so many servants at home, don't embarrass yourself."

"That's right. You don't need the worker and come here yourself. It's really rare. I've never seen you so diligent before." Aunt Big Foot smiled.

Listening to the implicit meaning of their words, Shen Ping seemed to be making fun of them. However, she was not angry. Who was she now? She was Lady Yu, who was personally appointed by the Emperor.

Shen Ping threw away the remaining seeds in her hand, patted the dust off her hands, and then said slowly: "You don't understand this, now I am the Yu Ru Ren personally appointed by the emperor.

These grains were brought back by me, so I have to supervise them carefully and not waste them. I have to play a leading role.

And you, you must manage it carefully, and don’t forget that you must return my seeds when the time comes.”

"hey-hey……"

Mrs. Luo and Aunt Big Foot smiled awkwardly, and quickly dispersed with the other women.

Shen Ping turned around and carefully checked the place where the seeds had been planted before. She felt relieved when she saw that the seeds were all buried in the soil.

Gradually the sun rose from the other side of the mountain, becoming hotter and hotter, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Shen Ping's nose.

Dadong happened to see this and said quickly, "Madam, there aren't many left. Let us plant these and you can go back first."

Shen Ping wiped the sweat from her forehead. The feeling of complete satisfaction was so comfortable. In fact, one should still sweat a little from time to time to detoxify.

I was about to say something when I was interrupted by a voice.

"Madame, madam..."

A voice came closer from afar. Everyone looked up and found that it was Cuihong, jogging towards them from the ridge of the field.

The little face flushed red, and he ran while saying: "Madam, the government has come, and my mother asked me to call you back~"

啥～

Seeing Cuihong's nervous expression, Shen Ping was frightened.

"Madam, I wonder what the government wants to see you about? How about we go back?" Dadong also looked worried.

Shen Ping shook her head and waved her hand: "No, you guys continue to work on this, and I'll go back."

When the village women heard that there were more government officials coming, they suddenly became curious and looked over here, whispering to each other.

Dadong was worried that something might have happened, so he pulled Cuihong aside and asked her in a low voice. He was relieved when he heard her say that she didn't look like she was here to investigate a case.

After all, his family lived in Shenyang, where their origins were unknown, so he was still a little worried. His family was bought here by his wife, not only giving them a place to settle down.

Moreover, the lady never treated them as servants from the bottom of her heart. She treated them well, both in terms of food and clothing. Dadong and his wife were deeply grateful to Shen Ping.

Shen Ping took off her hat, shook off the dust on her head, walked to the ditch beside her, squatted down, washed her hands, and said to Cuihong beside her: "Okay, Cuihong, let's go!"

In fact, Shen Ping didn't know why the government had sent someone. She had just been rewarded by someone from the imperial court a while ago.

Less than half a month had passed, maybe Eunuch Gui and his men were still on their way and hadn’t reached the capital yet! Of course they weren’t coming from the imperial court.

"Could it be that Sir Xu has something to say?"

Thinking of this, Shen Ping felt a headache. Every time Lord Xu came these past few times, something bad happened. She didn't know why he came this time.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was not Lord Xu, but a small yamen runner.

The bailiff sat in the main room drinking tea, rubbing his hands from time to time, looking a little restrained.

Seeing Shen Ping coming back, he quickly stood up and saluted with both hands with a respectful look on his face: "My humble self, Wu Tong, greets Miss Yu."

"You're welcome, please take a seat~"

Shen Ping stretched out her hand, made a gesture of invitation, and sat down in the chair in the middle.

The yamen runner seldom saw Shen Ping. He knew that it was thanks to Mrs. Yu that the rain would not have fallen.

If it weren't for her discovery of so much grain, perhaps a large number of people in Heyang County would have to flee famine.

Although I have a stable income, it is only fifty or sixty cents a month, and I have to support the whole family with this little money.

With more than a dozen mouths waiting to eat, it was still a bit difficult. I could only eat half full. Thanks to Ms. Yu, I managed to get through the difficult times.

I had originally thought that Lady Yu, who was personally appointed by the Emperor, would be high and mighty. Unexpectedly, although she looked a little cold, she did not look down on me, and I immediately respected her even more.

Wu Tong did not sit down, but stood and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Miss Yu. I came here on the orders of Lord Xu. Oh, no! I came here on the orders of Prefect Xu to deliver a letter."

"Prefect Xu?"

Shen Ping muttered to herself, looking at Wu Tong in confusion. She had no impression of ever dealing with this so-called Xu Fuyin. Unless~

Could it be?

Was County Magistrate Xu promoted?

Thinking back to what Eunuch Gui said a while ago, Shen Ping thought of him as the most likely person.

Seeing that Shen Ping didn't understand, Wu Tong hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Yu, you don't know that County Magistrate Xu has now been promoted to the prefect of the state.

Originally, Lord Xu wanted to come in person, but because the time of taking office was changed temporarily, he could only send me to deliver the letter." He handed over the letter.

"Oh, by the way, the young master came with me this time and said he would stay here for a while." Wu Tong added.

"Young Master Xu went to play with Miss Six, and I forgot about it for a moment." Cuihong, who was standing by, suddenly remembered this and quickly continued the conversation.

After saying that, he took the letter and presented it to Shen Ping.
