Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 113: The Successful Cultivation of Sixty-Eight Plants - The Sparrow Turns into a Phoenix (7)
"Village Chief Feng, these are the seeds for your village, chili peppers and tomatoes."
"Feng Yi, these are the seeds for your estate, green beans and loofah."
"Feng Er, these are the seeds for your second estate, strawberries and watermelons."
"Feng San, these are the seeds for your third estate, cucumbers and spinach."
"Feng Si, these are the seeds for your fourth estate, bok choy and cowpeas."
"Feng Wu, these are the seeds for your fifth estate, cauliflower and leeks."
"Luo Shan, you and your brothers, these are your seeds, celery."
"Alright, you’ve all got your seeds now, how to plant them is all written on the sheet. If you have any questions, come and ask." Feng Xi finished distributing the seeds, ensuring that each estate planted different crops, which would yield a greater variety."
"Since you don’t seem to have any questions, take the seeds back with you and start planting as soon as possible."
At Feng Xi’s command, everyone left with a roar.
In the days that followed the start of sowing, people came by to ask about planting, and Feng Xuxu realized she needed to train some skilled farmers. She also remembered an old man in the villa who knew how to grow herbs, and decided she had to make good use of the resources at hand to bring more wealth to herself. It wasn’t too late, but the choice of people still needed consideration.
Days passed, and the rush planting finally concluded, bringing everyone a sense of relief. That night was bone-chillingly cold, and a breeze brought in a shiver. Xuxu woke up frigid and when she looked outside, she saw small snowflakes falling, melting as soon as they hit the ground.
"Brrr, so cold. This year’s snow came earlier than in past years." The eldest brother, dressed in a thick cotton-padded jacket, appeared in the dining hall. Seeing his sister having breakfast, he plonked himself down, took a bowl, and slurped it in one go, instantly feeling warmth in his stomach and not as cold.
"Big brother, it’s a good thing we finished planting a few days ago. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything today." She talked to her brother while eating a boiled egg.
"Indeed, it could have been a real problem."
Xiao Chen looked at the corpse on the ground, his cold eyes harboring a chilling freeze. So, they really wanted him dead this badly, so eager to take that seat that they even resorted to using suicide warriors to assassinate him. Did they overestimate him, or underestimate him? Very well, Capital City, I’m coming back. I will trample each of you into the ground for my mother to seek an apology.
"Master, everything has been checked, not a single survivor," Di An reported to his master, kneeling on the ground.
"Hmm, any identification?"
"None, besides the smell of snake on them, there’s nothing else."
"Snake? Could it be the Snake Clan from Miaojiang?" That was quite the move.
"Let’s go, we need to rush back to the Capital City overnight." Leaping onto his horse and grabbing the reins, he galloped forward swiftly.
Di An and the guards also mounted their horses, eagerly pursuing their master. Finally, they reached the Capital City just as the city gates were closing.
The great hall of the Crown Prince Residence.
"Second brother, you’re finally back," the Crown Prince stepped forward and embraced Xiao Chen, patting his shoulder excitedly.
"Big brother, I’m back," Xiao Chen’s eyes softened as he spoke to his elder brother.
"I received word that they sent several teams to assassinate you. By the time my men got there, it was all over."
"Yes, otherwise I would have returned a few days earlier."
"I’ve instructed someone to prepare your bath water, go rest, and we’ll talk tomorrow."
"Alright, big brother." He got up and headed straight for his courtyard in the Crown Prince Residence.
"Crown Prince, Prince Mo’s butler requests an audience."
