Wei Ruo thought: Why are you asking me this? Can’t you just tell me what reward you want to give me? Why do you have to ask me?

Who knows if she will fall into a trap after asking for something? The minds of the royals are extremely complex and twisted; who knows if she might accidentally stumble into some forbidden area?

Wei Ruo said, “I dare not ask for rewards.”

“Since I asked, you can answer it. There is no need to worry.” Chu Lan said.

“The cultivation of the wasteland in the south of the city is for the country and the people. It is my honor to be able to provide food for the people. My father is an official in the court, and his wealth bears the burden of his worries. As my father’s daughter, I should also understand the truth and share his worries.” Wei Ruo replied.

Although Chu Lan served the country and the people, as the crown prince, it shouldn’t be too much to reward them, right? She didn’t want anything else, she just wanted some money.

Wei Ruo could only keep this in her heart and dared not say it on his face. If she says it, Chu Lan would know her weakness.

Wei Mingting was moved and ashamed by Wei Ruo’s words.

His daughter suffered a lot from being taken incorrectly and raised in the countryside for many years. As a father, he never gave her the fatherly love and protection she deserved; Even now that he has brought her back home, he has no time to care for her due to the Japanese pirates.

But his daughter was so sensible and righteous.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo and said, “Since Miss Wei has nothing to ask for, then I can only reward her with some yellow and white things. I hope Miss Wei won’t find them vulgar.”

Hearing this, Wei Ruo’s eyes lit up. Reward money? That would be really great!

From this perspective, the original male lead was not entirely useless, at least he knew that he needed to pay for her achievements.

Chu Lan continued, “Could I ask Miss Wei to provide me with a detailed record of the improvement, fertilization, planting, and harvest of this field? It will be useful.”

Wei Ruo knew that Chu Lan intended to report the situation of this experimental field to the court, so she provided detailed records. As for how to report it, it was up to Chu Lan.

“I have been keeping relevant records. I just need to sort them out a little.” Wei Ruo said.

Wei Ruo had anticipated that this data might be useful, plus she herself had the habit of making records during the experimental phase. So every time she came to the south of the city to survey, she would make records, and if she didn’t have the time to come personally, she would ask Mo mo Zhang to report the relevant information to her.

“Well, I will have Mo mo Qin go to the mansion and ask Miss Wei for this crucial record later,” Chu Lan was very satisfied with Wei Ruo’s answer.

He likes people who have a clever mind, are organized and efficient in their work.

After Chu Lan praised Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo instructed Agui and Xiaoba to start harvesting rice.

During the harvest, Chu Lan and County Head Magistrate Qian kept watching from the side, and occasionally picked up an ear of rice to study.

The harvested rice would be directly transported by Chu Lan’s personnel later.

When it was almost noon, County Head Magistrate Qian proposed to invite Chu Lan and Wei Mingting to have dinner at his residence.

Chu Lan, however, proposed that he wanted to visit the Wei family, “I heard from Xie Jue’s sister that Miss Wei’s maid has excellent cooking skills, I wonder if I could have a chance to taste her cooking?”

“Oh? Is Miss Wei’s maid an excellent cook? Then I’ll have to try it too.” County Head Magistrate Qian said with great interest.

“This… I’m not very clear about it either.” Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo muttered in her heart: Although Chu Lan’s request for dinner at home was a bit unreasonable, at least there’s nothing directly related to her cooking skills, nor did he ask her to do it for them.
