Chapter 132: Not Keeping Up with the Times

Although he was not satisfied, the contract had not ended yet, so he could only wait and let Yundu find some women to help him farm in the future.

That's right, as long as it involves matters related to the family's money and business, Ren Baozhi will leave it all to Yundu to take care of, so that she can be at ease and without any worries.

On the way, she had already thought about the use of these fields. Cotton was the first crop that came to her mind. This crop was not widely planted until the Song Dynasty. Now, the Wu Zhou Dynasty where she was could not even make a cotton coat.

However, at that time, most of the cotton was grown in the Western Regions. If you wanted to get cotton seeds, you could only try your luck with the Hu merchants in the Western Market.

After much thought, Ren Baozhi decided to ignore these fields for the time being and just collect rent from them. Even if Nu Bao made a loss in the future, she would still have the rent from these 800 acres of land to cover her losses.

Of course, it’s better not to lose money, after all, you have a whole family to support.

As soon as Ren Baozhi returned home, she saw two carriages parked outside the house. She knew that Ying Buhuan and Ji Pingyue had arrived.

Everyone had already agreed that they would get together on the day of re-registering their household registration.

She first led Mo Yun to the stable, prepared some wheat and soybeans for him, and fetched some clean water. Mo Yun had been running around outside all day and could finally have a good rest.

The horse is a good one, but it's a bit expensive. It needs to eat grass and feed. Every month, I need to provide it with 3 shi of millet and 1300 cai of grass. I also need to get some salt. Buying grain and grass costs about coins.

Mo Yun chewed wheat while enjoying the scrubbing service provided by Ren Baozhi, and then drank a sip of water very comfortably.

Seeing that Ren Baozhi was doing the dirty work herself, the new servant timidly said, "Madam, please go and have a rest. Let us do the work."

The other servant also nodded repeatedly.

Ren Baozhi knew they wanted to demonstrate their worth, so she handed the brush to one of them and said, "Come on, are you used to being here?"

The two servants nodded timidly: "We'll get used to it."

The servant who was brushing the horse said gratefully, "My lady, the bed here is comfortable, the food is delicious, the clothes are nice to wear, everything is good."

Ren Baozhi leaned against the railing and asked, "Do you have a name?"

The two servants replied:

"Nickname: Tu Niu."

"Humble name Zhaodi."

Ren Baozhi frowned at the smell of the name. She said, "Your name is not good. I'll ask someone to help you choose a new name later."

The two servants also knew that their names had bad connotations, and they burst into tears of gratitude when they heard this: "Thank you, my lady, thank you, my lady!"

Just as Ren Baozhi was about to go into the kitchen to join everyone, she saw two people walking in through the door.

Ren Lanyue ran over and hugged Ren Baozhi: "Sister! Wuwuwu, you must always be my sister, even if we split up, you are still my sister!"

Ren Baozhi said helplessly, "Of course I am Yue'er's sister."

Ren Lanyue raised her eyes, which were red and swollen like two walnuts, and looked up at Ren Baozhi: "Sister, you must keep your word."

Ren Baozhi was shocked to see how swollen Ren Lanyue's eyes were. "How long have you been crying?"

"Not long, maybe two hours," Ren Lanyue said. "My sister and I separated, and I felt so sad that I wanted to cry. I begged the Queen to change my last name to 'Ren', and I cried again. I asked the Queen to come with me to the celebration banquet, but she refused, and I cried again."

"She's quite the crybaby." Ren Baozhi commented seriously.

"As long as I cry a little longer, my queen will agree to my request," Ren Lanyue smiled until her eyes were invisible. She secretly pointed in the direction of Yunhuan, "Look, isn't my queen here?"

As soon as Ren Baozhi looked in the direction of Yunjia, Yunjia withdrew her gaze and looked at the sky, the earth, the left and the right, but not at her.

She didn't want to be so intrusive, so she just followed Ren Lanyue and said, "You take your mother for a walk, I'll go help out in the kitchen."

Everyone was busy in the kitchen. The flame in the stove was so strong that the stove could not hold any more fire, and it was gushing out in a whoosh.

There are three large pots on the stove, one for steaming rice and two for stir-frying.

Qingqiu and a servant were stir-frying in a wok with a large iron shovel. The aroma rushed straight to the roof along with the heat, making the air-cured chicken and smoked meat hanging from the beams look even more fragrant.

Some people were busy adding firewood, some were carefully picking vegetables, some were washing meat by the basin, and some were wielding knives to chop, and rhythmic thumping sounds were heard on the chopping board.

The kitchen was already crowded with people, but under Yundu's arrangement, there was order in the chaos and everything was in order.

Ren Baozhi asked, "Have you informed Princess Qianqiu?"

There was a chaotic noise in the kitchen, and Yundu replied loudly: "I have informed you, the princess said she will be here later."

Ren Baozhi also responded loudly: "I understand."

After Yundu had picked out the dishes, he said to Ren Baozhi, "We have enough people here. Please go to the main hall and set the table."

Ren Baozhi also shouted: "Got it!"

After marrying into Ren Baozhi's family, Yun felt restricted and unable to move freely. Although she had lived here for more than ten years, this house could no longer accommodate her.

Even though some of the girls looked familiar to her, she always felt like a stranger to everyone.

Ren Lanyue knew that the empress was reserved, so she took Yunjia by the hand and went around to greet people.

Seeing Yundu and the others busy in the kitchen, Yunjia whispered to Renlanyue, "They have so many servants, why do they still do these rough jobs themselves?"

Ren Lanyue said, "Because my sister is a good person, everyone will help each other when they can, and isn't it fun to work together?"

Upon hearing this, Yunjia observed the expressions of everyone in the kitchen. Some were laughing, some were talking, and some were concentrating on their work. The whole place was enjoying themselves.

"Look, Madam," Ren Lanyue pointed at a young man and said, "wasn't she the yard sweeper before? Now she works in the printing department."

"Printing Department?"

Ren Lanyue covered her mouth in horror. She had signed a confidentiality agreement and was absolutely not allowed to leak the secret, not even to her mother!

She quickly introduced another person, "Look at this, the aunt next to Aunt Qiu. Although she is still a cook, she is now a good citizen and earns a regular salary."

"Aunt Qiu? Salary?" Yunjia suddenly felt that the daughter in front of her was very unfamiliar. Why couldn't she understand what she said?

"Oh, my lady, you really can't keep up with the times."

Upon hearing this, Yunjia was three parts annoyed and seven parts embarrassed: "How can you talk to your mother like that?"

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong," Ren Lanyue covered her mouth and giggled, "Mom, I'm telling you..."
