Cheng Wanwan also brought gifts to her family.
After the gifts were distributed, there were still new species on the carriage that were paid tribute by the Laji Kingdom.
The plants are all seeds and rhizomes, which are very well preserved, but the cultured ones are a bit miserable. They are all in the form of seedlings, and their vitality is not strong. In addition, due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, each one is dying, and it feels like it is dying at any time. All may die.
Cheng Wanwan didn't bother to deal with the apple snails and other inedible things.
But crayfish cannot die. The official scientific name is Procambarus clarkii, which is translated as crayfish in Daewoo Dynasty. These things like to grow in ditches and are often seen in rice fields. Pliers are sharp tools that can cut off roots and seedlings. , reducing rice field production, so when this thing first entered China, it was always disliked. Later, various delicacies were developed, and this kind of invasive species was almost eaten out.
Crayfish can survive at temperatures as low as 11 degrees below zero and 30 or 40 degrees above zero. They are extremely adaptable to the environment. Some of them die, but some remain.
Cheng Wanwan immediately asked someone to open a small pond next to the yard, specifically for raising crayfish. The first year was a trial. After the test has the results, it can be promoted on a large scale. This will enter autumn and winter, and crayfish will enter the market. During the slow growth period, they will grow up almost by the end of the year and can be cultured in the beginning of next spring.
She directly asked people to raise other cultured species in the rockery pool in the yard, so that they would not spread to the farmland. If they died, they would die. She could write whatever report she wanted.
The rest of the invasive plants were planted in a special area far away from the farmland for testing. In fact, she had known about the invasive properties of these plants for a long time, but she still had to pretend, after all, there were more and more people in the village. , she is also being watched by more and more people, and there must be no mistakes in all aspects of what the emperor has told her.
By the time all the plants were planted, it was already early October.
The weather is getting cooler and cooler, and the autumn rains are falling one after another, and they keep falling.
In this autumn season, the new magistrate of Ping'an County has finally arrived, and Shen Dongming will take his family to the capital to take up a post.
Cheng Wanwan specially went to see him off.
Outside Ping'an County, on the ancient road, there were three carriages, one for the Shen family's master, one for three or four servants, and the remaining carriage was filled with luggage.
"Wanwan, once we leave, I don't know when we will see each other again." Mrs. Shen sighed, "I hope Sidan will pass the exam soon so that you can go to the capital to reunite with us."
Shen Zheng smiled and said: "Grandma, what you said is wrong. It doesn't matter whether Sidan passes the exam or not. The godmother is the chief minister of Honglu Temple. In the future, when foreign envoys come to Beijing, the emperor will definitely summon the godmother. Beijing receives foreign envoys, and we will meet again soon."
Cheng Wanwan also knew in her heart that since she served as the sixth-grade minister, she had to shoulder some responsibilities.
She said: "That child Sanniu has a reckless personality. As a mother, I have always been concerned about him staying in such a complicated place in the military. After Mr. Shen settles down in the capital, I hope he can take more care of Sanniu."
"Of course." Shen Dongming nodded, "Our two families are godson, and Sanniu is equivalent to my godson. Don't worry, Sanniu and I will keep in touch at all times."
When the two families were saying goodbye, a carriage approached rapidly in the distance.
The car curtain opened, and it turned out that Mrs. Lin Yushi Lin came with her daughter.
"Fortunately, I'm not late." Lin Yushi jumped out of the car, "If I hadn't listened to the people's comments, I wouldn't have known that Master Shen was leaving today. Since I was appointed as the censor in Huzhou, I would like to thank Master Shen for taking care of me, so I’m here to see you off. The mountains are high and the road is far. I wish you a smooth and safe journey.”
Mrs. Lin took out two sachets from her sleeves: "This road is not easy to walk. You will get dizzy if you sit in the carriage for a long time. I have prepared a refreshing sachet. The old lady can hang it around her waist."
Mrs. Shen took the things and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Lin."
The fact that the Lin family came to see him off showed that the Lin family valued the Shen family and the agreement between the two families. From this point of view, Xiaozheng's hopes were quite high.
Mrs. Lin glanced at her daughter standing beside her: "Didn't your father ask you to give a book to Master Shen? Why don't you go over there quickly?"
Miss Lin Lin Weirong's face suddenly turned red. Her mother had told her to stop thinking about this before, but now she did not shy away from so many people...
Holding a book in her hand, Ai Ai walked over to Shen Zheng, but there was still several steps between them.
Shen Zheng, who had always been cheerful and cheerful, suddenly became embarrassed.
Ever since Lin Weirong appeared, he began to feel uncomfortable. He wanted to see the person he thought about day and night, but he was afraid of being too abrupt, so he had to suppress it.
At this moment, the girl walked up to him, and walked towards him with the permission of her elders. If he continued to avoid suspicion and pretended to be serious, it would be disrespectful.
He coughed and said, "What book is in Miss Lin's hand?"
"This is the "Book of Changes" with annotations by masters. You can take a look at it if you take the time." Lin Weirong said with a blushing face, "Master Shen is now a noble man. Although he is envied by many scholars, he should not stop there. I hope Master Shen will read more and get good results in the next examination."
Her mother still felt that Jizi's status was too low. If Master Shen hadn't been suddenly promoted, her mother would not have changed her mind so quickly.
In her opinion, Mr. Shen's promotion is Mr. Shen's business, and she hopes that Shen Zheng can use his own abilities to gain her mother's recognition.
Shen Zheng naturally understood the implication in her words.
He took the book and said firmly, word by word: "Don't worry, Miss Lin. I will work harder to study and I will be on the list next time."
Lin Weirong nodded gently.
She didn't dare to stay longer and quickly returned to her mother.
Mrs. Shen was very satisfied with her prospective grandson-in-law, but she made no other abrupt moves. She smiled and said, "It's getting late, so our family will set off first. Please stay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sound of people suddenly coming from the ancient road where there was no one just now.
Looking up, I saw that the city gate had opened at some point in the early morning, and many people came out of the city.
"Master Shen, why didn't you say something before you leave? We'll come and see you off too."
"Master Shen has been the magistrate of Ping'an County for decades and is our parent official. We say goodbye now and I don't know when we will see you again."
"Walk slowly along the way..."
The common people and fellow villagers spontaneously came to see him off, and Shen Dongming's eyes suddenly turned red.
He waved to the villagers and then stepped onto the carriage. After the wheels rolled, he opened the curtain and kept looking back.
Slowly, the carriage disappeared on the ancient road.
Among the people who came to see him off, there was also the new county magistrate who had just arrived.
He was one of the top three Jinshi scholars in Jinke, and his ranking was quite high. Only then was he assigned to Ping'an County as the county magistrate, which made many Jinshi scholars in the same class envious.
Because everyone knows that Suigong people are from Ping'an County. With Suigong people here, Ping'an County will only develop better and better, and it will be easy to achieve political achievements. It is estimated that you can be promoted after working for three years. Isn't it enviable? ?
