Wang Jinhe stayed in the room until Chang Le fell asleep before leaving.
After leaving, she instructed Chang Le’s maid to keep an eye on her, preventing Chang Le from waking up in the unfamiliar place.
Once she had given her instructions, she went to Xiao Bao’s room. Seeing that all three children were asleep, she returned to her own room.
When she returned, Su Yu was leaning against the bed, reading a book.
Hearing footsteps, Su Yu put down the book and looked at Wang Jinhe walking in. “Is the child asleep?”
“Yes, Chang Le needs some time to adjust.”
“It will get better.” This was a necessary process for Chang Le.
“You’re right.”
After Wang Jinhe returned, she became busy, taking Su Jiuning and others to the estate to gather all the grain and seeds.
“Master, you’re here. We’ve been guarding the grain and seeds well, and nothing has been damaged by moisture.”
“I came today to take away the grain and seeds.” Wang Jinhe looked at Liang, the steward, and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Liang hurriedly called people over to help move the grain and seeds.
It took a whole day to load all the grain and seeds onto the carts before they departed. To be cautious, after Su Jiu loaded the carts, Su Yu had Yuan Xu and others accompany the convoy until the goods were safely delivered back to the capital.
After sending off the grain and seeds, the next day Wang Jinhe had someone notify the Governor to come and collect the thirty thousand catties of grain and seeds.
The Governor, looking at so much grain and seeds, was excited. He looked at Wang Jinhe and said, “Madam, thank you very much.”
“You don’t need to be so polite, Governor. We can be considered mutually beneficial.” Before she had power, both the county magistrate and the governor had helped her a lot, and naturally, she wanted to reciprocate.
Moreover, with the two of them here, anything she wanted to do became much easier.
At this point, Wang Jinhe had already forgotten that she was still a county princess. Even without their assistance, she could do whatever she wanted without anyone daring to obstruct her.
After sending off the Governor’s grain and seeds, there were only Qin Lang, Luo Su, and the others left.
“Brother, when you return to the academy, tell Brother Luo Su and the others that the grain and seeds are ready for them to pick up. We’ll start sowing next month, and there’s a lot to prepare. Make sure they are ready.” When Wang Jinhe heard that Wang Jingyu had returned, she quickly went over to inform him of this matter.
“Alright, I’ll tell Brother A Su and the others when I go back.” Previously, Luo Su and the others had inquired if Xiao He had returned, likely for this matter.
“Big Brother, next time you come back, bring them all over to play, okay?” Wang Jinhe was still thinking about Su Shan’s situation as she looked at him and said.
Wang Jingyu looked at his sister strangely, furrowing his brows and asking, “Why do you want them to come over?”
What kind of medicine was his sister selling in this gourd again?
Wang Jinhe cleared her throat and awkwardly explained Su Shan’s situation to him, “Don’t tell them about it. Let’s see who has better fate when the time comes.”
“Okay.” Wang Jingyu agreed after a brief consideration.
Since it was a promise to his sister, he naturally had to fulfill it.
The next day, after Wang Jingyu returned to the academy, he informed them about the grain and seed situation.
“Jingyu, Jinhe is back?” They had wanted to ask about the grain and seeds, but since Wang Jinhe hadn’t returned, they hadn’t inquired.
They were a bit worried that Wang Jinhe’s absence might delay this year’s planting. Now it seemed that they had been overly concerned.
“Just returned a few days ago. She sent the grain and seeds to the court. Since she hasn’t sent them over there, she asked me to inform you to go and pick them up.”
“Now that Jinhe is back, can we visit your house? We miss the meals that sister Jinhe cooks.” They had been traveling for so long, and every time they went, she wasn’t there, which left them disappointed.
“Sure.” Wang Jingyu had been a bit worried about how to bring up this matter, but now it seemed he didn’t need to worry at all.
With Wang Jingyu bringing the news, Luo Su and the others took a brief trip back home to inform their families.
After hearing the news, Boss Luo and the others quickly gathered everyone to go to Wang Jinhe’s house.
“You all are here, Uncle.” Seeing Luo Boss and the others come so quickly, Wang Jinhe wasn’t surprised at all.
“We came as soon as we heard the news. I hope we didn’t disturb your rest?” Boss Luo asked somewhat apologetically.
“Of course not, Uncle. I can provide you with 12,000 catties of grain and seeds. I’ll keep the rest for myself. There are many tasks this year, and a lot to handle. I’ll trouble you all when the time comes.” Wang Jinhe looked at Boss Luo and the others as she spoke.
The group patted their chests and assured her, “If there’s anything you need, just tell us. We’ll definitely help, and as long as you produce higher-yielding crops here, don’t forget about us.”
“I won’t forget, everyone.”
Wang Jinhe took them to collect the grain and seeds. Looking at the remaining ten thousand catties of grain in the granary, she couldn’t help but feel helpless.
It was enough for this year’s planting and consumption, so she could finally relax.
After organizing the grain and seeds, leaving some for the people in the village, and bringing the rest back to store in the cellar, she finally had time to rest.
Su Yu watched Wang Jinhe, tired and sitting in a chair without wanting to speak, and poured her a glass of water. “How are you doing, Xiao He?”
“The grain and seeds have been distributed. The remaining amount is only enough for us, the villagers, and our family to plant and eat.” They were accustomed to the grains grown with Lingquan water. If they were to eat grains bought from outside, they would definitely find it unfamiliar.
“And how about your side?” She had her own share of tasks, and Su Yu had his hands full with business matters. After returning, there were two boxes of account books that Su Yu needed to review.
The numbers in those books made Wang Jinhe’s eyes spin.
“My side is not that serious.” Su Yu shook his head lightly. He didn’t feel that his side was serious; it was just a bit complex and tedious.
“Continue reviewing the account books. Have the three children started their studies?” Wang Jinhe asked Su Yu.
“They started the day before yesterday.” In these past few days, Wang Jinhe would leave after eating, returning very late, so not being aware of these matters was normal.
“How is Chang Le? Is she adjusting well?” Wang Jinhe wasn’t worried about Xiao Bao, Xiao Zhi and Hong Yi; her main concern was Chang Le.
As a carefree little princess in the palace, she started learning various knowledge after coming here. Wang Jinhe truly worried that Chang Le might not be able to handle these changes.
“Chang Le is doing well, no need to worry. Her adaptability is stronger than we thought, and she’s also very intelligent.” Su Yu had witnessed several times when Gu Jiuning taught Chang Le, and Chang Le quickly grasped the lessons. Even Gu Jiuning had praised her multiple times.
Wang Jinhe felt completely relieved upon hearing this.
“That’s good. It’s a good thing if the children can learn.” Wang Jinhe whispered.
Su Yu nodded with a smile, “You’re right.”
“I’ve also told Big Brother. They’ll probably come over when they have a break.” Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu, scratching her head somewhat embarrassed.
Was she being too eager? It might seem like she didn’t like Shanshan.
Thinking this way, Wang Jinhe felt a bit regretful. If she had known, she wouldn’t have been in such a hurry.
