Chapter 276 Transplanting Seedlings

Several people looked at Zheng Sisi, and recalled the scene when the Third Prince and the County Lady were together.

Dongzhi nodded and said, "The Third Prince didn't show any reaction when he was with you, the Lady of the County. But when Miss Zheng, Miss Li, and Miss He were around, the Third Prince would stay away from them. The Third Prince didn't feel distant from you, the Lady of the County, and he didn't reject you. Could it be that the Third Prince likes you?"

"Oh, it hurts." After Dongzhi finished speaking, he covered his head with his hands and cried in pain.

Zheng Sisi took back the hand that hit Dongzhi's head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? He is a high and mighty prince, and I am just a divorced woman. The Third Prince likes me. Is there something wrong with his eyes or with yours? He is close to me because the emperor wants him to take care of me and protect my safety, do you understand?"

Seeing Zheng Sisi's attitude, several people were forced to nod: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Zheng Sisi: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Maybe I'm a straightforward person, like a man, and the Third Prince treats me like a brother. And the rumors outside are not to be believed. If that were the case, I, your county lord, would have lost my face to live. Don't go out and talk about things that are not confirmed. You must know that rumors stop at the wise, understand?"

The maids could only nod their heads. Only they themselves knew what they were thinking.

Zheng Sisi instructed, "After breakfast, let's go to the vegetable garden. The seedlings should be ready for transplanting. I think it's going to rain today, so we have to transplant the seedlings before it rains."

Rose said, "Okay, County Lady, I'll go find Uncle Ma and the others later."

Zheng Sisi: "Okay, tell them to bring tools, even the small hoe."

Rose replied, "Okay."

When everyone arrived at the garden, the vegetable patch was lush and green, and all kinds of vegetable seedlings were growing strong. Zheng Sisi was very satisfied, it seemed that everyone was taking good care of the seedlings.

Pepper seedlings, watermelon noodles, pumpkin seedlings…………

Zheng Sisi walked along the way and looked at various vegetable seedlings. The water droplets on the leaves of the seedlings had not dried yet in the morning. Zheng Sisi stopped next to the pepper seedlings, dug one with a small hoe, and put it in the colander she brought along with a lot of soil.

She said: "We will transplant the pepper seedlings first. The pepper seedlings we dig out should have more mud on them to help them survive."

Everyone worked together and soon filled the basket. Zheng Sisi stopped them and said, "Just dig this much for now. If you dig more, there will be no place to plant."

Then she brought everyone to the prepared land. She used a hoe to demonstrate how to plant pepper seedlings at the right distance. After everyone understood the distance, they started planting and finished planting in a short while. There was also a special person watering the seeds afterwards.

Zheng Sisi led people to transplant other seedlings. Strength lies in numbers. Two hours later, all the planned land was planted with seedlings. Finally, the watermelon seedlings and sweet potato seedlings were left. The sweet potato seedlings were not very tall yet, so they needed to wait for a while before being transplanted.

Zheng Sisi transplanted the pumpkin and winter melon seedlings between two plots of land. The vines could grow very long, so she did not plan specific land for them. However, she reserved two plots of land specifically for planting watermelons, which she attached great importance to.

A small plot of land was left in the garden for transplanting sweet potato seedlings. The rest were all planted, and there were still many vegetable seedlings with nowhere to plant. Zheng Sisi planned to send some to a few nearby families, and send the rest to Wohushan Farm tomorrow. Uncle Ma will go with him, and Uncle Li will also be there at the farm. It should be no problem with the two of them taking care of it.

When she finished work, Zheng Sisi dug up dozens of watermelon seedlings and took them back. She planned to ask the third prince to send them to the palace in the afternoon. The emperor had reserved a piece of land in the imperial garden for growing sweet potatoes, so it would be no problem to plant a line of watermelons next to it.

Zheng Sisi said, "Chun Tao, send a few people out to the Duke's Mansion, the two Shangshu Mansions, and the Grand Tutor's Mansion to tell them that anyone who needs vegetable seedlings can come and get some."

Chun Tao nodded: "Okay, County Lady, I'll arrange it when I get back."

Zheng Sisi went around the corn field and potato field again. These two crops were also growing well. They were both drought-resistant and must be growing well with someone taking such careful care of them.

Looking at the land that she had planned and planted with the fruits, vegetables and melons she brought, Zheng Sisi felt a sense of accomplishment.
