Unexpectedly, Wang Caiwei did not criticize the choices of Wei Ruo and Xie Ying, but instead invited them to sit down and began to lecture them.
Wei Ruo originally held no hope for the lectures, but the teaching delivered by Wang Caiwei was far from the dullness she had imagined. Wang Caiwei would engage them with vivid discussions of the stories behind the written words and appropriately extend and connect the material.
Xie Ying, who was typically reserved, seemed energized, staring intently and listening with great interest.
Especially when Wang Caiwei spoke about large-scale wars in history, Wei Ruo
felt as if Xie Ying was ready to jump up and join the fight.
in the morning, they lectured together, and in the afternoon, Wang Caiwei arranged separate arts for the two of them to learn.
The current trend was to master one of the four arts, which included burning incense and serving tea, and flower arrangement and hanging paintings. Wang Caiwei had Wei Ruo learn incense burning, while Xie Ying took up painting.
Wei Ruo didn’t know whether Xie Ying was satisfied with Wang Caiwei’s arrangements, but she herself was quite pleased with the course content chosen for her.
By the end of the day, Wei Ruo felt pretty good and found it more interesting than she had expected.
During the lessons, Mr. Wang also talked about certain etiquette. Compared to the rigid explanations of Madam Li, Mr. Wang’s instruction was like a refreshing spring rain, easier for them to absorb.

After a few days like this, there was a new development in South City, so Wei Ruo had to excuse herself from Mr. Wang’s lessons to look after the matters there.
After fifteen days of seedling cultivation, the paddies in the experimental fields
of South City were a rich green.
During this time, Madam Zhang would report the condition of the seedlings to
Wei Ruo every other day.
Seeing the vigorous growth of the seedlings, Madam Zhang, who was initially reluctant, had become much more enthusiastic.
At first, she was reluctant because she thought Wei Ruo was fooling around.
But when she saw the lush seedlings, Madam Zhang was enlightened and realized that this young lady from the countryside really knew her stuff!
“Young miss, I reckon it’s about time to start transplanting the seedlings. But you’ll have to take a look and decide,” Madam Zhang said, now not daring to make her own decisions without consulting Wei Ruo.
“You go and report this situation to mother,” Wei Ruo replied.
Despite the rice grains not being harvested yet, the success of the seedlings was sufficient proof that Wei Ruo’s method of treating chemically treated soil and growing crops could be effectively used.
Wei Ruo needed to report this achievement to Wei Mingting, but she didn’t feel the need to meet him directly right now, so she decided to report to Madam
Yun first.
Madam Zhang immediately complied, heading to Cangyun Garden to relay the
good news.
As Madam Zhang was reporting to Madam Yun, Wei Qingwan was also present in Cangyun Garden, casually chatting with Madam Yun.
After listening to Madam Zhang’s words, Madam Yun was visibly delighted:
“Really? It actually worked?”
“Absolutely, I have been watching over it for a month now. The seedlings, ah, have grown so well! They’re flourishing and green, I’m not exaggerating when I say the seedlings here are even better than the ones we grew on Mantou Mountain in North City!”
‘■That’S great! I’m going to send someone to inform your father right away!” Madam Yun promptly replied.
She immediately summoned Guard Jing Hu and gave him the instructions. Noticing Madam Yun’s excitement, the expression of Wei Qingwan nearby subtly changed.
