Qiao Xuan was very curious about how she got those feelings.
But she knew.
That was what Qiao Kou was going to be like.
She was already being very kind without adding fuel to the fire.
When the gossip came to the end, the 20 mu ofnd in the north of the city was sorted out.<div>
The bricks were all surrounded by a wall more than two meters high.
They opened two doors in front and behind.
When they went in through the front door, they saw a tnd paved with green bricks. There were three small houses resting on the tnd.
On the other side was the storeroom and tool room.
There was a huge cer under the storeroom and tool room.
Several roads crisscrossed through the vast expanse ofnd, dividing it into multiple sections. A canal had been specially constructed to facilitate irrigation by drawing water from outside sources.
Qiao Xuan’s space differed from the outside world. Every crop had been nted and grown in halves, allowing the potatoes that were nted earlier to be ready for harvest.
Once harvested, new potatoes could be nted, resulting in another batch to be harvested the following spring.
As Qiao Xuan contemted, she realized that by following this approach, they could nt over ten mu of potatoes here next year.
Thend would expand significantly in theing year, providing an opportunity to share some with Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou.
Additionally, there were strawberries. Qiao Xuan had nted them both in the backyard and the space, with the ones in the space growing luxuriantly. The vines held onto the elderly nts and produced numerous separate offshoots.
While the nts in the backyard didn’t fare as well as those in the space, they disyed remarkable strength and vitality with the aid of Qiao Xuan’s superpower, sprouting several branches.<div>
Qiao Xuan diligently strengthened and nted each individual branch.
A few of them had already begun blooming, bearing small white flowers and budding fruits.
Qiao Xuan pondered whether the strawberries could survive the winter in the open air of the capital city under the protection of her superpower.
If sessful, it would simplify matters significantly.
In theing year, they could transnt some from the backyard and obtain seedlings from the space. nting them in the northern part of the city would allow the branches to thrive. Within a span of two months, cultivating two or three mu of strawberries shouldn’t pose a major challenge.
They decided to keep the strawberries for themselves.
Potatoes held great value, and if her husband offered them to the imperial court, the Tian Family would lose any chance of controlling them again.
That would surely irritate them.
Qiao Xuan even contemted starting a beekeeping endeavor in this ce.
It seemed quite straightforward. Next year, they could venture into the suburban mountains and use their superpower to locate and collect a wild bee colony. Piece of cake!
As the day grewte, the weather turned colder.
Qiao Xuan, Liqiu, and Lixia strolled down the street and purchased some trendy garments to have them tailored at a local store.<div>
Since shecked expertise in handicrafts and her own creations couldn’tpare to professional work, she didn’t mind spending a little extra money to have skilled artisans handle the customization.
Qiao Xuan found it peculiar that some wives of Shao Yunduan’s colleagues from the Hanlin Academy approached her for loans.
However, she didn’t find it entirely surprising.
The Hanlin Academy had financial difficulties, and the government office wouldn’t provide them with ice or charcoal by year-end. To ensure afortable winter, they had to work hard.
Having their own residence in the capital and receiving numerous gifts from the Emperor, Queen, and concubines in the harem, it was only natural for people to seek financial assistance.
Nevertheless, Qiao Xuan had no intention of lending them money.
Colleagues shouldn’t involve money or profits between them, as it wouldplicate many matters.
