Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 215 Ruan Qingqing is under house arrest

After the lively competition, everyone was still not satisfied and kept clamoring to hold it again next year. Ruan Wanyin came out and announced that he would notify everyone if it was held again. Only then did everyone leave with satisfaction.

Ruan Wanxi's uncle and nephew also returned to Beijing with the emperor and his entourage. Wanghewan Water Park was officially opened to the public and business was booming every day.

After the fun, everyone started to plant wheat and rapeseed. Ruan Qingqing once again sold hybrid wheat seeds to everyone in Zaoziling. This time, no one hesitated. As soon as the news was released, everyone rushed to buy. Not only did they buy for themselves, but they also asked relatives and friends to buy together. In less than three days, the seeds were sold out.

"Oh, Sister Qingqing, why are you still frowning? I heard from my eldest brother that the emperor specially summoned you when he came here before. Not only did he praise you highly, he also gave you the title of county lord. This is unique not only in our Qingshui County, but also in our Yunqing Kingdom." Ruan Pingping, who came to play with Ruan Qingqing, saw that she was frowning and looked worried, so she couldn't help but speak out to comfort her.

"It's just a name!" Ruan Qingqing didn't want to talk more about it, and quickly changed the subject, "Sister Ping, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Ruan Pingping's eyebrows curved, and she held her arm affectionately, "I would like to come and play with you more often, aren't you often busy and nowhere to be seen?"

"After this busy period, I should be able to have some free time. Tell me! What do you want to talk to me about?" Ruan Qingqing smiled helplessly.

"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes. Didn't my parents arrange a marriage for me? I want to see what the man looks like and what his character is like in private. I asked my parents about this, but they disagreed. They just said that they had picked a good young man for me and that he was the best, and asked me not to make trouble. But I am the one to live my life with, and how can I feel at ease without seeing him myself? That's why I come here to ask you for help!"

Ruan Pingping shook her arms and pleaded coquettishly.

Ruan Qingqing did not respond immediately, but only asked: "Where is the man from?"

"From Lingjiabao, Lu'an County."

"I have already planted the wheat here, so it's no problem for me to be away for a few days. Okay! I'll accompany you, but since we are going out, you still have to tell your uncle and aunt, so that they don't worry." Ruan Qingqing still wanted to get the consent of Ruan Wanjin and his wife.

Ruan Pingping looked at her cautiously and said, "Sister Qingqing, can you help me speak up in front of my parents? As long as you open your mouth, my parents will definitely agree."

"I'll try, but I can't guarantee that I can convince my uncle and aunt."

"Okay! There will be absolutely no problem as long as you ask! Sister Qingqing, I'll leave it to you!" Ruan Pingping was overjoyed when she saw that she had achieved her goal.

In the evening, when the people in the old house saw Ruan Qingqing coming, they all greeted her enthusiastically, especially Li. Because the Wanghewan Water Park was booming, her family's restaurant business also became booming. These days, they earned more dividends than the previous year's restaurant in the county town. How could she not be happy?

"Qingqing! This is tea made from dried chrysanthemums. Try it."

Ruan Shigui at the side joked: "Sister Qingqing, look at my mother. As soon as you came, she was busy making you the best tea. I have been back from the fields for a long time, but I haven't seen her pour me a glass of water."

Li patted him on the body and said unhappily, "How can you make up stories about your mother? You don't have any hands or feet?"

"Tsk tsk, look, this is the difference! My son feels like he was picked up from some corner." Ruan Shigui pretended to be sad at a 45-degree angle.

Everyone burst into laughter immediately.

"Okay, Qingqing, what's the matter that brings you here so late?" Mr. Ruan asked at the right time.

"Grandpa, it's nothing. Do you remember Uncle Wu from Liu'an County? He was the one who followed my parents to seek refuge a few years ago. His father, Grandpa Wu, once wove red mats for tribute with you."

Mr. Ruan nodded. "Of course I don't remember him. He was a down-to-earth and honest young man. Why are you talking about him suddenly?"

"Although we have hired fifty families to look after the three hundred mu of land we just bought, it still feels awkward without a leader. So I thought of Uncle Wu and wanted to ask him if he has time to come to our house to help. It's said that helping is more important to the familiar than to the unfamiliar. This way we can feel at ease and relieved."

Mr. Ruan exhaled wisps of smoke from his nose and nodded repeatedly. "That's right!"

"Sister Ping came to my house today and said she wanted to learn about the family she was engaged to in private. Coincidentally, the family she was engaged to was also in Lu'an County, and we were going the same way, so she wanted to go with me to take a look. I wonder what uncle and aunt think?"

There was nothing Ruan Wanjin and Liu didn't know when they heard this.

Ruan Wanjin immediately asked: "Did Pingping bother you? This child is becoming more and more lawless!"

"Uncle is fine. Taking her there is just a matter of convenience. Let her find out more clearly before she gets married. She will feel at ease, and we as her family will also feel more at ease, so she won't have any wild thoughts." Ruan Qingqing explained.

"Okay! When are you planning to leave?" Ruan Wanjin asked.

"Tomorrow! I'll come to pick up Sister Ping at 1:00 pm tomorrow."

"Okay! How long will it take you to go back and forth?" Liu asked.

"If it's fast, I'll get back to you within two days. If it's slow, I'll get back to you within three or four days."

"Okay, I'll ask Ping'er to get up early tomorrow. I'll also make you some food to take with you on the way."

"Aunt, don't bother. I have prepared food and drinks for the journey." Ruan Qingqing quickly refused when she heard Liu said she wanted to prepare food for them. It wasn't that she disliked it. If she really asked Liu to prepare it, she would definitely prepare enough for them to eat two or three times.

Liu also thought of this and agreed awkwardly.

Ruan Pingping, who was standing by, was overjoyed to see that the dust had settled.

The next day, Ruan Qingqing went to pick up Ruan Pingping as scheduled. After saying goodbye to the people in the old house, Ruan Pingping was like a bird out of a cage, chirping excitedly all the way.

"You rarely go out to play on weekdays?" Ruan Qingqing asked her.

"That's right! I either work or stay in the house and learn to be a female worker. The farthest place I've been is to my grandmother's home, Liujiawan. I can only go there twice a year. It's so boring."

Ruan Pingping was reluctant to move her eyes away from the car window.

"Then let's have a good time this time!"

"Thank you, Sister Qingqing! I told you! My parents will definitely agree once you ask."

Ruan Qingqing rolled her eyes at her and said, "If I don't find a reason, will uncle and aunt let me go so easily?"

"You really underestimate your position in my parents' hearts, don't you?"

While the two sisters were chatting, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Uncle Feng, what's going on?" Ruan Qingqing asked while sitting in the carriage.

"Miss, Lord Liu won't let us leave Qingshui County."

When Ruan Qingqing heard this, she immediately lifted the door curtain and walked out.

People were coming and going at the city gate, but her carriage was the only one that was stopped.

Ruan Qingqing's face darkened. "Lord Liu, what did I do wrong? Why did you stop my carriage alone?"

"Miss Ruan, I am just following orders from above. You can go anywhere in Qingshui County, but you cannot leave Qingshui County. Whoever lets you leave will lose his head. I hope Miss Ruan will not make things difficult for us!"

The city guard Liu Shizi explained with a sad face.

"Why don't you let me leave Qingshui County? When was this order issued?" Ruan Qingqing asked with a cold face.

"They came down after the early rice harvest, saying they were worried about spies from neighboring countries harming you. For your safety, they asked you to stay in Qingshui County for the time being."
