In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 93 Brother, Be Careful

After returning to the farm, Chen Ruotong carefully checked the germination of the potatoes. To her delight, most of the potatoes had already sprouted white buds.

She asked Chen Dahai and more than ten other people to use a knife to break each sprouted potato into five or six pieces. Each piece of potato had a small sprout on it, which was called a potato seedling. Then they sprinkled plant ash on these potato seedlings.

Chen Dahai didn't understand why he did this, so he asked about his doubts.

Chen Ruotong explained the reason to him: wood ash is not only a natural "fertilizer" for crops, but also has a sterilizing effect. Mixing wood ash with potatoes can ensure that the potatoes will not rot after sowing, and it can also improve the soil quality and make it looser.

Chen Dahai and the dozen or so guys were completely confused and didn't understand what the word "bacteria" meant. Anyway, they had to do whatever the Fourth Young Master told them to do!

After the potato seeds mixed with wood ash are left overnight, they can be planted in the ground the next day.

Chen Ruotong planted these potato seeds in the 600-acre farm she had just bought. There were not many potato plants, so she could only plant five acres of land.

Chen Ruotong worked with everyone in the fields, making ridges and teaching them how to plant potatoes. It took two days to finish the planting.

The first exam of the college entrance examination just ended. Chen Ruotong arrived outside the examination room early, anxiously waiting for Qiao Zien to appear.

Finally, the door of the examination room slowly opened, and candidates walked out one after another. Chen Ruotong's eyes were fixed on the crowd, looking for Qiao Zien.

When she saw Qiao Zien walking towards her with confidence, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Zi En, how did you do in the exam?" Chen Ruotong asked impatiently.

Qiao Zien smiled slightly, "It feels pretty good, I should be able to get good results."

Chen Ruotong smiled happily, "That's good, let's go home, I have to make you some delicious food to replenish your body. These three days are not something that ordinary people can endure. Tsk tsk, the ancient exams were really difficult!"

The two got on the carriage and returned to Chen's house.

Chen Ruotong asked the kitchen to prepare a table full of sumptuous dishes to provide Qiao Zien with nutritional supplements.

After dinner, Qiao Zien told Chen Ruotong about the exam.

"The test questions this time were of moderate difficulty, and I answered them relatively smoothly. Especially the policy essay part. I have some insights into current political issues, which should be favored by the examiner," Qiao Zien said confidently.

After hearing this, Chen Ruotong was sincerely happy for him.

"Yeah, you've worked hard. There are still two exams to come, so keep in good shape."

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Qiao Zien's eyes flashed with determination.

The two chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest and recharge their energy for the upcoming exam.

Qiao Zien took a day off, and then the second exam began. With the experience of the first exam, he answered the second exam more smoothly.

Chen Ruotong was not worried about Qiao Zien's grades, because he was a top student and usually ranked among the top in the academy. It was easy for him to pass the exam, it was just a matter of ranking. She believed that Qiao Zien would definitely come out on top and get the first place.

Chen Ruotong returned to the farm and went to the greenhouse to check on her young seedlings. The slender seedlings were tender green and full of vitality and hope.

When she walked to the second greenhouse, she heard a woman's voice, "Master, Qing'er made you some hot tea. Would you like to drink some?"

Chen Dahai quickly stepped back. "Don't come over here. I'm watering the seedlings. I'm not thirsty. Get out of here. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. If someone sees us, it will be bad for our reputation."

Chen Ruotong stopped him immediately and said, "The greenhouse is a restricted area, outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. You are not responsible for working in the greenhouse, get out now!"

Upon hearing this, the woman glanced at Chen Ruotong, her face instantly reddened to the root of her neck, and she was too embarrassed to face anyone. "Fourth Master, my name is Tian Wenqing, and I did not enter the greenhouse without permission. The eldest master saved me, and I came in to thank him..."

Chen Ruotong looked at Chen Dahai and signaled him with her eyes to explain the reason.

Chen Dahai said, "Fourth brother, I was chasing ducks by the river just now and saw her almost falling into the river, so I pulled her. Then, she came over to bring me tea."

Chen Ruotong asked: "You look familiar, who are you?"

Tian Wenqing quickly replied: "I am the eldest daughter of the head of the Tianzhuang family. This morning, I was washing clothes by the river and almost slipped into the river. It was the eldest master who saved me. Thank you for saving me, I am very grateful!" As she said that, she knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Dahai.

Chen Ruotong said: "The eldest master said he was not thirsty and would not drink. You drink it. This young master gave you this cup of tea as a reward."

After hearing this, Tian Wenqing stood there in a daze, lowering his head, not knowing what to say.

Chen Ruotong picked up the teapot and teacup that Tian Wenqing had placed on the ground, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her mouth, "Open your mouth and drink it. This young master is feeding you, do you dare not drink it?"

Tian Wenqing raised her head, looked at Chen Ruotong pitifully, and shook her head. But when she saw Chen Ruotong's fierce and cunning eyes, she was scared and had no choice but to drink the tea.

Chen Dahai was puzzled and did not agree with Chen Ruotong's approach. He felt that there was no need to be so harsh on a slave. Besides, the slave came to the greenhouse to thank him! Why not just not let her in in the future? Why bother?

Without Chen Ruotong's order, Tian Wenqing knelt on the ground and dared not get up. She was so scared that she was shaking all over, afraid that her little trick would be discovered by Chen Ruotong, and then her family would be sold out.

Five minutes later, Tian Wenqing felt hot, dry mouth, difficulty breathing, and her face was burning. She couldn't help but unbutton her collar, looked at Chen Dahai with blurry eyes, and murmured, "Brother Dahai, I can't stand it anymore..."

Chen Dahai only understood now what was going on. Tian Wenqing had drugged the tea, and it was an aphrodisiac. If he drank it, wouldn't he have fallen into Tian Wenqing's trap? He and Tian Wenqing had sex in this greenhouse, so wouldn't he have to marry her? What a poisonous woman! She was going to ruin his happiness for life!

Chen Ruotong joked, "Brother, do you understand? Fortunately, you didn't drink tea, otherwise... I think I have to find a marriage for you quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid there will be more people who are thinking about you! In the future, you have to be careful and don't be schemed by some women."

While the two of them were talking, Tian Wenqing had already stood up and staggered towards Chen Dahai.

This is outrageous! He has lost his mind and is blaming Chen Dahai!

At the moment when Tian Wenqing pounced on Chen Dahai, Chen Ruotong grabbed both of them and brought them into the space.

Chen Ruotong walked out of the greenhouse and walked west along the river bank. She came to a large straw stack and threw Tian Wenqing next to it. Who made her do this? Then she should suffer the consequences! Anyway, the medicine won't kill anyone, and the discomfort will heal itself after a while.

Chen Ruotong returned to the greenhouse and pulled Chen Dahai out of the space.

Chen Dahai was a little confused. What happened just now? Didn't Tian Wenqing come to him? Then where did she go? He looked at Chen Ruotong in confusion.

Chen Ruotong pointed to the door and said, "Tian Wenqing ran out by himself. It's okay. You are safe. Go back to work!"

Chen Dahai scratched his head in confusion, picked up the small kettle and watered the seedlings.
