Chapter 153 My name is Shen Zhen, and the name is Zhen from Ye Zhen Zhen

In a dozen days, rice seedlings would be planted. Shen Zhi led his men to plow the fields. Fortunately, there were curved plows in this era, so the efficiency was quite high.

The fertility of paddy fields is very important. Shen Zhi had already investigated the environment of Baiyun Villa. The humus layer formed by the natural decomposition of large areas of fallen leaves in the woods on the mountain is an excellent natural fertilizer.

Shen Zhi led the workers to the mountain to dig humus soil, carried it down the mountain in baskets and poured it into the paddy fields.

The adults were surprised to see this and took out paper and pen to write quickly.

After the humus soil had been fermented in the paddy fields for a few days, the villa officially started planting rice.

Shen Zhi stood on the ridge of the field and watched the hardworking workers neatly plant the seedlings into the water.

The sun shines on the water, making it sparkle, reflecting everyone's hard work.

Shen Zhi's heart was full of expectations. He believed that this piece of land would surely bring them the joy of a good harvest, and it would be an unprecedented achievement in this era.

Shen Zhen's photo studio has become popular again. When Shen Zhi replaced the smashed equipment in the studio a few days ago, he bought a headshot device for the store. Although headshots have been out of date for more than ten years in the previous life, they are definitely an eye-catching tool in the Great Xiao Dynasty.

Ladies from wealthy families flocked to it. They struck all kinds of cute poses and smiled brightly at the camera. Then a page of avatars with various expressions were automatically printed out. These avatars had their own adhesive, so they could be stuck on objects by tearing off the paper at the back.

When Ke Meng arrived at the photo studio, it was packed with customers, and Shen Zhen was helping a customer with her hair and makeup. Ke Meng stood in the corner and waited for a while until the customer finished her makeup and went to the inner room to take pictures, and then Ke Meng came over.

After Shen Zhen had sorted out her dressing tools, she looked up and saw Ke Meng standing in front of her, staring at her blankly. Her face instantly turned red. Her thoughts drifted back to the first day Ke Meng came to Qingzhou Prefecture with the other adults two months ago.

Zhuge Ling asked Shen Zhi to make something delicious for everyone, and the whole family helped in the kitchen.

Ke Meng had been traveling all the way and was not used to the local climate. As soon as he arrived at Shen Zhi's house, he had severe abdominal pain and a tendency to diarrhea. However, he walked around the Shen family's yard but couldn't find the toilet. He happened to run into Shen Zhen who was walking out alone.

Shen Zhen saw that he looked pale and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ke Meng lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered, "I, I can't find the toilet..."

Shen Zhen immediately understood his predicament and took him to her bathroom with a red face. However, Ke Meng was completely unfamiliar with this kind of bathroom and had no idea where to solve the problem of urgency.

After Shen Zhen saw Ke Meng's confusion, she taught him in detail how to use the toilet.

She pointed to the rolls of toilet paper next to her and said, "This is toilet paper. Remember to flush it down the toilet after use." Then she showed Ke Meng the button for flushing the toilet and explained, "This button is used to flush the toilet. Press it to flush away the dirt." Then she walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and demonstrated to Ke Meng how to wash her hands with water.

Seeing Ke Meng's confused and blushing face, Shen Zhen thought that this guy might not have understood yet. So, she patiently explained everything one by one. Finally, she saw that Ke Meng seemed a little anxious, so she hurriedly left the bathroom.

Ke Meng finally solved his urgency problem and felt relieved. He walked out of the bathroom and saw Shen Zhen standing under a big tree in the distance. He couldn't help but feel grateful. He felt that Shen Zhen was a really good person. Not only did she not laugh at him, but she also patiently taught him how to use these strange devices.

Just as Ke Meng approached Shen Zhen and was about to thank her, he suddenly felt another cramp in his stomach. He quickly covered his stomach with a painful expression on his face. He realized that he might have diarrhea caused by acclimatization and needed to go to the bathroom again. So, he didn't bother to say hello to Shen Zhen and turned around and rushed into the bathroom again.

Shen Zhen saw that Ke Meng's condition was not right, and she was a little worried. She secretly asked Shen Zhi if he had any anti-diarrhea medicine. Shen Zhi found a few anti-diarrhea pills from the room and handed them to Shen Zhen, and brought a cup of warm water. Then Shen Zhen took the medicine and water back to the big tree and waited quietly.

When Ke Meng came out, he saw Shen Zhen still there, so he walked over.

Shen Zhen handed over the medicine and water, "This is a pill for diarrhea, the effect is very good."

Ke Meng hesitated for a moment. According to his habit, he would never eat anything given by outsiders, especially people he met for the first time. But in the end, he still swallowed the pill, thanked them, and left to eat hot pot with everyone in the backyard.

Shen Zhen collected her thoughts and looked at the man in front of her. She only knew that he was a high-ranking official from the capital, but she didn't know his identity or his name.

"Sir, is there anything that brings you to our shop today?" Shen Zhen thought he came to take pictures.

Ke Meng looked at Shen Zhen, paused, and said, "I have already taught Minister Gu's mistress a lesson for you."

Shen Zhen never thought that Ke Meng would stand up for her. After all, that person was the mistress of Minister Gu, and she was just an ordinary citizen, how could she dare to offend them easily? Moreover, she didn't want Ke Meng to get into trouble because of her.

"Will...will this bring you trouble? Actually, there is really no need to do this. I'm not hurt." Shen Zhen said with some concern.

Ke Meng glanced at her and answered firmly, "She shouldn't have hit you. Don't worry, Minister Gu has been dismissed. Oh, by the way, what's your name? I always thought that the person who helped me out that day was Yixiangjun, but I didn't expect that you two were actually twin sisters."

Shen Zhen smiled and poured a cup of tea for Ke Meng, then said softly: "My name is Shen Zhen, which is the character Zhen in the poem 'The peach tree grows young and luxuriantly, its leaves are dense'."

"Zhenzhen, what a nice name." Ke Meng nodded to show his appreciation.

Ke Meng shyly took out an exquisite jewelry box from his sleeve, opened the lid carefully, and then gently took out the things inside and handed them to Shen Zhen, saying softly: "Miss Shen, I came here today to thank you. I specially selected and bought this pearl hairpin, hoping to express my gratitude, please accept it."

Shen Zhen looked at the pearl hairpin in front of her in surprise. It was extremely finely crafted and made of high-quality materials. It was obviously worth a lot of money. She shook her head and said, "Sir, it's just a small favor. Why are you so polite? This thing is too valuable. I really can't accept it."

Ke Meng pretended to be angry, frowned slightly, and said firmly: "Miss Shen, do you look down on me? Do you want me to bear the bad reputation of being ungrateful?"

Shen Zhen waved her hands hurriedly, feeling a little flustered. She wanted to explain but felt that she was tongue-tied and didn't know how to start. She knew that Ke Meng meant well and if she refused again, it might embarrass him, so she had no choice but to accept the gift and express her gratitude.
