They could simply plant some in the backyard. Even if something went wrong, they could utilize the space to compensate for any setbacks.
That was an incredibly positive development!
Qiao Xuan sensed that there was more than 300 mu of available land for cultivation in the intermediate space, although the exact number was not fixed. She could sense that the amount of arable land was increasing every day, but she wondered how long it would continue.
Based on current estimates, another 300 mu would be available in approximately 10 days.
If this situation could persist for one or two months, it would be fantastic!
Qiao Xuan had already made a firm decision – she was going to plant rice on the additional 300 mu.
Farming in this space was different from outside. There was no need to flood the fields with water; the seeds could be sprinkled directly.
When she purchased the rice seeds, she felt a bit overwhelmed by the large patch of land. Even if she were to plant just rice seeds alone, it would be an arduous task for one person!
So Qiao Xuan attempted to plant the seeds using her divine sense, which turned out to be successful.
She was overjoyed. Within less than an hour, all 300 mu of rice had been planted.
She concentrated and composed herself. She could even feel the rice seeds silently burrowing into the ground, reaching a depth, preparing for germination and gathering strength to emerge from the soil…
At night, she couldn’t resist coming to check again. The 300 mu of rice fields were already displaying a faint, tender green color! The rice seeds had already sprouted, and small needle-like sprouts were growing.
From a distance, the sight was a soothing, pale green, soft, and adorable, evoking a sense of relaxation and joy.
Qiao Xuan was filled with immense delight.
It was as if they had already glimpsed the bountiful harvest that awaited them…
This place was abundant in fertility and vibrant energy, alleviating any concerns about diseases, pests, and unpredictable weather. They were undoubtedly poised for a bountiful harvest!
Qiao Xuan contemplated that upon her return to the village, she would plant additional fruit trees and create an orchard. This way, fresh fruits could be enjoyed throughout the year.
And the beauty of it was that it didn’t matter whether one resided in the north or south.
Qiao Xuan happily entertained these thoughts when Shao Yunduan brought up the idea of paying respects to their ancestors to the Chancellor of Hanlin College.
But now, he needed to carefully consider the matter.
It was every scholar’s ultimate dream to return to their hometown with honor after achieving the position of Primus. Paying homage to their ancestors was a glorious act, one that brought great honor to their family!
The Chancellor dared not refuse them outright, yet he also hesitated to agree too hastily, fearing the wrath of the Tian Family.
So, with a smile, he vaguely stated that he needed some time to ponder the request and promised to provide Shao Yunduan with an answer within a couple of days. Meanwhile, he assigned some tasks to keep Shao Yunduan occupied, allowing him the opportunity to pay tribute to his ancestors.
Shao Yunduan nodded in understanding.
The Courtyard Scholar let out a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t reject Primus Shao’s request, yet he had intentionally made things challenging, making it difficult for the Tian Family to find fault with him any longer.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan paid little heed to these circumstances.
On that day, Qiao Xuan received an invitation from Madame Lin of Hanlin Academy, inviting her to a gathering the next day.
Qiao Xuan promptly replied, assuring her attendance.
Of course, she would attend. Shao Yunduan worked at Hanlin Academy and had numerous colleagues there. If she were to skip the gathering, it would seem rather unsociable.
