I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

In the carriage, as soon as Qu Lian'er entered, she knelt in front of Shen Rong and begged, "Sister, please take Lian'er in!"

Shen Rong reached out and pulled the person up, saying in embarrassment: "Girl, I don't even know where you came from, and you asked me to stay. Isn't this embarrassing?"

"My surname is Qu, my given name is Lian'er, and I am..." When talking about her identity, Qu Lian'er was a little hesitant, but she thought that if she couldn't stay, she would have no way to survive.

Qu Lian'er thought that the couple had just entered the woods alone to save someone, so they must have some skills, so she gritted her teeth and decided to tell them the truth.

"Lian'er was an actor who was sent to the capital from Jiangnan.

The owner of the inn sent me and my sisters to the General Jianwei's mansion to seek protection.

But...but I accidentally learned that General Jianwei is a..."

Qu Lian's face turned pale, as if she remembered something terrible.

"What is it?" Shen Rong asked subconsciously.

"That general is a cruel man. All the sisters who entered the general's mansion in the past were tortured to death by him... Lian'er didn't want to die, so... Lian'er escaped halfway." After Qu Lian'er finished speaking, these people seemed to be deflated and sat on the ground, ready to be dealt with by Shen Rong.

In Dayong, escaped slaves were either executed or sold to remote areas.

If Qu Lian'er escaped in that remote mountainous area, she would still have a way to survive. She could just hide in the mountains and no one would be able to find her.

But the place where she escaped was in the capital, where she was easily discovered.

This is also the reason why Qu Lian'er was eager to beg Shen Rong to take her in.

Shen Rong frowned tightly. She didn't expect that saving someone would be so troublesome.

It is impossible to send people back.

Moreover, General Jianwei didn't even know her, so things were not as bad as she thought.

"Forget it, just pack up first and then pretend to be my maid to enter the city!" Shen Rong turned around, with her back to Qu Lian'er, and pretended to be looking for something, and took out a set of clean clothes from the space.

Shen Rong's clothes have been kept in the space for a long time. They are all the kind that are convenient for walking in. There is nothing wrong with a maid wearing such clothes.

"Change into clean clothes first!" Shen Rong handed the clothes to Qu Lian'er.

Qu Lian'er took the clothes and changed the dirty clothes on her body.

After more than an hour, the carriage entered the city smoothly.

The group returned to Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Before Shen Rong had the time to go to Minghui Courtyard to pay her respects to the old lady, the twin brother and sister rushed out from the second gate like little cannonballs, obviously having been waiting for a long time.

"mother!"

"mother!"

"Miss, young master, please run slower!" Juxiang and Qiuxia followed closely and ran out from the second door.

When he saw Shen Rong and the others, he quickly bowed and then stepped aside.

Here, the two siblings hadn't seen their mother for a day and a night, and they had been missing her terribly. As soon as they got close to their mother, they kept snuggling into Shen Rong's arms.

Changsheng stood aside, feeling sour in his heart, "How heartless! Your father is such a grown man, didn't you see anything at all?"

Changsheng complained, but the mother and his two children ignored him.

Shen Rong hugged a child in one hand and asked with concern: "Did you sleep well last night? Did you eat well?"

The two siblings nodded at the same time, Pingping spoke more fluently, "Mom, we ate well and slept well, and I miss you."

"Shen Rong touched her son's head, then her daughter's head, then stood up, holding one child in each hand, and said, "Be good, let's go pay our respects to your great grandmother. After that, we'll go back to Guiyuan."

"Ok!"

The family of four came to Minghuiyuan, and Changsheng told the old lady about the situation in the manor.

After hearing this, the old lady pondered for a moment and said to Shen Rong, "I know you have your own ideas. If you want to have property in the future, try to buy a farm. For a family like us, it's better to keep a low profile."

"My granddaughter-in-law has made note of it." Shen Rongding agreed without any hesitation.

If it weren't for the support of the Duke's Mansion, the rouge shop she opened now would have been coveted by someone long ago.

If you buy a shop but don't do business and just collect a little rent every month, it is actually not very cost-effective in the short term.

It is actually better to buy a farmhouse. The key is to keep a low profile and not easily attract other people's attention.

Shen Rong secretly took note of the old lady's words.

By the time they came out of Minghui Courtyard, it was time for dinner.

Guiyuan had already prepared the meal.

Shen Rong asked Chun Xing to take Qu Lian'er downstairs to eat.

The four of them sat in the main hall to have dinner.

The rice that people eat in the mansion today is grown by Changsheng himself.

The rice in the space, the steamed rice, is sweet, sticky and chewy, and much more delicious than the rice Shen Rong has eaten before!

Pingping and Anan can eat two bowls of rice at one meal, which is one bowl more than before.

Changsheng doesn't eat vegetables, he only eats rice and can eat seven or eight bowls of rice in one go.

Because he had to eat rice so often, Changsheng complained that his bowl was too small.

Ever since the people in the mansion had eaten the rice that Shen Rong brought back, the two servants who had been pounding rice worked even harder.

When the other servants had free time, they would run over to help pound the rice.

Shen Rong looked at the pearl-like rice grains and felt her appetite grow.

No one in the family spoke. Everyone held their bowls and used chopsticks to scoop rice into their mouths.

After two quarters of an hour, the mother and her two children put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another.

Changsheng was the last one to put down his bowl.

After the maids had packed up and left, Changsheng asked Shen Rong:

"If we sell this rice in the shop, how much do you think is a suitable price per pound?"

Shen Rong thought without hesitation, "It's 10% more expensive than the best rice in the grain store, which is about right. However... we told others that we bought this rice, so the servants in the mansion wouldn't think too much about it. But if we sell it now, it feels..."

"No sale!" Changsheng shook his head. "If you want to sell it, you have to wait until the grain is harvested on the farm." Changsheng said immediately.

Shen Rong nodded, "I thought so too, but... it's April now, and I'm afraid that the harvest from the land in the farm will be in autumn..."

Changsheng pondered for a while and said, "How about we use the dried rice as seeds? Just like planting fruits and vegetables, we can first grow seedlings inside and then plant them in the fields again."

After being grown in space, the seedlings will definitely grow faster than before. In this way, there is no need to worry about the weather getting colder before the crops are mature.

"Okay!" Shen Rong also thought this method was feasible.

If we don’t replant, we won’t be able to harvest much grain.

"The two farms are far apart. When the time comes, we will say that the seedlings were pulled from the other farm. I believe no one will specifically ask about it." In the blink of an eye, Changsheng had thought of what to say.

"Well, you look at the arrangements."

"Then start tidying up the fields tonight."

Changsheng did what he said. After the family cleaned up, they entered the space and started to get busy.
