Allure of a Country Maiden

Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. Thanks to the help of the villagers, more than 20 people came to harvest the 100-acre field. It originally took four or five days to harvest, but now it was harvested in two days!

During this period of time, the autumn weather was crisp and the sun was shining brightly. The rice was quickly dried on the drying ground paved with concrete floors.

Under the eager eyes of everyone, the total weight of the dried rice was finally calculated.

"Seventeen thousand eight hundred and fifty-two kilograms!" After Manager Xie calculated it, he announced it loudly, and his voice was a little trembling due to excitement!

One hundred acres of field, the total output is 17,852 kilograms! In other words, the yield per mu is 785 kilograms and 2 taels!

It is more than what was calculated before. Although it is only a few dozen kilograms more, the rice after shelling is still about twenty kilograms of rice. Many farmers are reluctant to eat so much rice in a month!

Before Shangguan Xuanyi left, he had told them to write down a report on the high rice yield and give it to the governor after they had produced enough rice per acre.

Xiaoer stated in the booklet that due to hybrid vigor, rice seeds need to be bred every year. If you save your own seeds, the yield will be lower every season. In the end, it will be the same as usual.

As for whether they understood what hybrid vigor was, she couldn't explain that much. She couldn't say it was because they were seeds in space.

Rice cannot be planted by oneself. This must be explained clearly. Otherwise, in the future, the people will plant seeds for themselves, but the yield will no longer be high, causing public resentment and causing trouble for one's own family.

Wealth has always coexisted with risk! She must avoid it as soon as possible!

At the same time, she also explained that the climate in their county should be able to test planting for two seasons, and now they are planning to try planting winter wheat!

After handing over the zhezi, Governor Li and the ten soldiers left.

Xiaoer's family continues to be busy harvesting other crops.

Shen Chengyao is a true farmer. Even if there are times when several shops need his attention, he will always take the time to go to the fields to see how the crops are being harvested. He feels that this is the root of their family. No matter how busy they are, they must control the daily harvest. No matter how rich they are, they cannot leave this job behind.

Today is the day when the college examination results come out.

When the person bringing the good news came, Mr. Shen heard the commotion and quickly asked Mr. Shen Zhuang to prepare a reward. The two old men were waiting at the door, fully dressed. Unexpectedly, the person who brought the good news passed them and went to the village chief's house.

Mr. Shen took the officer and soldier who was announcing the good news and asked, "My lord, Shen Jingwen's home is here. Did you bring the good news to Shen Jingwen?"

The soldier's attitude was quite good. When he saw their family, he was also waiting for the good news. He thought that someone in their family had been selected as a scholar. After all, the county had posted a list, so it would not be surprising for them to know. And he was only responsible for announcing the good news to Shen Zixuan, so he said, "I am here to announce the good news to Master Shen Zixuan. You can just wait."

Shen Zixuan is ranked tenth, and he is ranked near the front. It's not surprising that those behind him haven't had their turn yet.

After hearing this, Mr. Shen was very happy. Even the officers and soldiers told him to wait. Then Jing Wen must have been hit. It was truly blessed by his ancestors!

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen Zhuang waited left, right, front, and back. When it was almost dark, no one came to announce the good news.

Instead, he waited for Dafang and his family to come back.

When Mr. Shen saw their dejected faces, he knew that Shen Jingwen had failed to become a scholar.

Although he was disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mood and comforted: "It doesn't matter if Wen'er doesn't win this time. You are still so young. If you take the exam next year, you will definitely win."

Shen Jingwen was extremely annoyed! His grandpa got the right question in this year's strategy review. When he saw the test paper, he was so excited, thinking that God would help me this time, but who knew I was still one place short! He is only one short of becoming a scholar!

It’s all my fault! Shen Jingwen thought angrily.

At this time, the village chief's family came to invite them to dinner. Shen Zixuan was selected as a scholar and was still a junior student. The village chief's family invited the whole village to his house for dinner and planned to celebrate it.

Mr. Shen's face looked a little ugly. Is this person here to cause trouble in his home? Are you here to make your grandson uncomfortable? His grandson's reputation was ruined, and he came to add insult to injury! He didn't want to be caught by the people in the village asking questions. After all, everyone knew that the two of them took the college examination together. One passed and the other failed. He wanted to refuse, but Shen Jingwen agreed, and Mr. Shen was surprised. , but said nothing more!

A few people came to the village chief's house, and most of the villagers had arrived.

When Shen Chengyao and Shen Chengzu saw their father and eldest brother, they stood up and said hello.

Many people at the banquet praised Shen Zixuan for being admitted as a scholar at a young age and how much he would accomplish in the future!

Shen Chengyao also said: "Zixuan has been eager to learn since he was a child. He relied on his own ability to get into Juxian Academy at a young age. My three troublemakers also got into Juxian Academy under his guidance. , he is my family’s three mischievous masters, and is my family’s great benefactor.”

Shen Jingwen was not happy after hearing this! "Pah!" Put down the bowl and chopsticks with a sound and stood up: "What does Third Uncle mean by this? Are you mocking me for not relying on my own ability to get into Juxian Academy? Didn't I just ask you to have someone write it for me? A recommendation post, do you need to eliminate me in front of so many people?"

"Wen'er, you misunderstood. Third uncle didn't mean that!" Shen Chengyao was a little dumbfounded. What did he just say? He didn't mean it at all!

"Stop pretending! You're telling the truth! If you hadn't turned your arms in and out, I would be a scholar now, and it's all because of you!"

If he hadn't helped an outsider enter Juxian Academy, he would have been one short of getting in, because Fang Wenri had taken his place! Even if he helps his own son, he will help outsiders but not his nephew. He is just a wolf!

The same is true now. If I enter Juxian Academy, will I be squeezed out by people from Juxian Academy and miss the chance to become a scholar?

Shen Chengyao was dumbfounded. Is this none of his business?

After hearing this, the crowd started talking, "Shen Chengyao caused his nephew to fail to win the scholarship? What's going on?"

"No way. How could Shen Chengyao ruin his nephew's future?"

Jingrui also came to dinner with Shen Chengyao today. After hearing this, he stood up angrily: "What do you mean, cousin? When did my father hurt you?"

"No? If your family hadn't helped Fang Wenri get a post, could he have entered? I was one place short of being admitted to the academy. If he hadn't taken my place, who would it be? If I entered Juxian Academy , will I be one place short of being admitted as a scholar now?"

"Brother Ri took the exam for the enlightenment class, and you took the exam for the intermediate class. Both classes recruit people from their own schools, and you are so unreasonable! Whether you can get admitted as a scholar or not depends on each person's knowledge." You got in. Can Juxian Academy guarantee that he will be admitted as a scholar? Jingrui kept this sentence unsaid!

Good afternoon everyone. Thank you book friends for your recommendation votes. Thank you for your support.
