Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 106 Centennial Bracelet

The grain, grass and medicinal materials were all seized by Tan Ji and Bai Tao, and distributed to the four barracks as luggage.

All the remaining money was carried to Sheng Jiaojiao, and the silver was transported to Sheng Jiaojiao box by box, so Sheng Jiaojiao took away all the food that the salesmen in the north of the county had.

Food prices are still rising slowly, but behind this trend, many vendors are rushing over with large quantities of food.
The jumping horse lake was sealed off, and Nanji behind the jumping horse lake began to prosper. Nanji was in the south of the county, which was much safer than the north of the county.

The sellers began to gather in Nanji, and released news that the people of Tiaoma Lake and Nanji who wanted to buy grain could only go to Nanji to buy grain if they could not go to Jishang.

They are creating momentum to drive up food prices.

It was snowing like goose feathers outside the window, the Enlightenment School had already closed, and the Qi family was such a big place, with a snow-covered yard, it was not suitable for children to continue school.

Wenxiu came in from outside the house wrapped in a headscarf, knelt down in front of Sheng Jiaojiao with a pale face,
"Jiao Niang, thank you for saving my sister, thank you."

By the window, an elegant girl put down the pen in her hand, looked at Wenxiu, and said softly:

"Get up, just finished confinement, don't kneel."

There were tears in Wenxiu's eyes, she stood up and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with gratitude in her eyes.

Since the last time she begged Sheng Jiaojiao in Yexian Pavilion, Wenxiu gave birth to a daughter within two days after returning home, and she just finished her confinement today, so she rushed to Sheng Jiaojiao to thank her.

Her two elder sisters were released by the mother of the military dormitory half a month ago, and the mother did not accept any ransom money.

Because Tan Ji's lieutenant general Zheng Ling went to the military dormitory and specifically ordered him to be released, Qi Ming rode on his back and went to the military camp to release him, mother dared not disobey the military master's words.

After all, that place is a military dormitory, and it is a place for military masters to entertain according to regulations.

Moreover, these two prostitutes alarmed Zheng Ling and Qi Ming, they are all famous in the jumping horse Hu Erlang, as long as they don't die in battle, they will surely accumulate military merits in the future and have a bright future.

Mom really can't afford to offend.

Sheng Jiaojiao on the kang moved her body, leaned on an embroidered pillow, looked at Wenxiu who was standing in front of her wearing a scarf, and asked about the situation, only then did she know that Tan Ji had also helped on this matter .

How did Zheng Ling know Wenxiu's two elder sisters? Now that he is following Tan Ji's order to act, Tan Ji must have ordered Zheng Ling to do it.

In fact, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't ask Tan Ji, but asked her second elder brother Qi Ming to come forward to solve the matter of the two prostitutes. Unexpectedly, Tan Ji overheard Sheng Jiaojiao and Wenxiu's words that day, and secretly did his best.

Seeing Wenxiu standing in front of her again, the charcoal basin in the room was already gray, no one added charcoal, no one added tea, no one moved the stool. Sheng Jiaojiao sighed, her mouth was a little dry, and asked Wenxiu again,

"According to what I said, you rented a yard for your two elder sisters at the fair?"

"I have rented a yard, let my two elder sisters, father, and mother live in the yard, don't go out when you are idle, for fear of being caught."

After speaking, Wenxiu hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but kneel down again, but seeing Sheng Jiaojiao's clear eyes, she didn't dare to kneel again.

"Speak up if you have something to say."

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her eyes, as if she already understood what Wenxiu wanted.

Wenxiu could only say with a face of shame:

"Jiao Niang, now that my two sisters have come out of the military dormitory, can you, can you accept my sister's embroidery as before? I mean, in fact, my sister's embroidery is also very good. The embroidery of the three of us is all taught by my aunt."

She knew that when she came to see Sheng Jiaojiao, she asked Sheng Jiaojiao to do something, which was very annoying.

But now all of them can't walk around outside, it's freezing outside, father's health is not good, and the two elder sisters have to live, so Wenxiu wants to make more embroidery and exchange some money for the family of her mother's family. All survive.

Sheng Jiaojiao was also pleased to hear her talk like this,

"You have never had the idea of ​​relying entirely on me. This is very good, and I am very willing to help you. You go back and tell your mother and sister to make some sachets. As long as the embroidery work is good, I want it here."

People in Daze love to wear sachets. Last time, Sheng Jiaojiao heard from Mrs. Qi that many servants in the Prince's Mansion asked her if there were any sachets for sale.

Now the military pay is paid as usual, let alone the entire Zhishou County, just jumping horse lake, every household will have some money in their hands, Erlang sends a sachet to the girl he loves, and the family buys a sachet to the young child. OK.

If the sachet is beautifully embroidered and filled with some herbs, it will sell better.

And what Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't lack most now is herbal medicine.

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao's immediate response, Wenxiu's face showed a look of unconcealable joy.

Then Sheng Jiaojiao asked softly:
"How is the little girl?"

"It's all good. If you are fat and fat, you will laugh during confinement."

Speaking of her daughter, Wenxiu's perennially troubled face showed a touch of tenderness, and she hurriedly said:

"Today I wanted to bring her together to thank Jiao Niang, but my man is so sorry that he won't let her out to blow the air."

"The snow is too heavy, so don't bring it out."

When mentioning the child, Sheng Jiaojiao also had a sincere tenderness on her face, she smiled and took out a red cloth bag, handed it over,
"I gave it to the girl."

Wenxiu waved her hand, with a flattered expression on her face,

"This, this, she is just a little baby, so I can't do it."

"Take it, it's not worth anything."

Sheng Jiaojiao kept passing her hand, Wenxiu couldn't continue to refuse, so she could only take it, held it in the palm of her hand and opened it to see, they were two small ebony centenary bracelets, engraved on the ebony with the words "Fushou Ankang, Happy and Peaceful" .

Wenxiu burst into tears, holding the pair of hundred-year-old bracelets, weeping uncontrollably.

There is an old custom in Nanjun, where relatives and friends give a hundred-year-old bracelet to a child on the full moon, which means that the child will grow up healthily and live safely until the age of one hundred.

She thought that no one gave her baby away.

How did she know that Sheng Jiaojiao had already prepared for her.

I heard Sheng Jiaojiao explain again:

"I wanted to give the girl a silver one, but I've been poor recently, and all the money was spent on the business, so I can only ask my family to make a pair of ebony hundred-year-old bracelets. You put it on the girl first, and then I will have money. Then change her for silver."

She only had a few taels of silver in her hand, and all the silver was used to buy food.

Today's Sheng Jiaojiao is sitting on the grain mountain, but she is poor.

It's okay if you don't say this, but once she said it, Wenxiu knelt on the ground with a plop, walked up to Sheng Jiaojiao on her knees, stretched out her arms and hugged Sheng Jiaojiao's legs, put her forehead on her knees, and cried loudly:
"Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang"

How can this girl teach people to do things like this?
Wenxiu really wanted to sell her life to Sheng Jiaojiao.

"Okay, stop crying, get up and talk to me."

Sheng Jiaojiao persuaded Wenxiu to talk about it.

She originally wanted Wenxiu to sit on the kang, but Wenxiu insisted on standing, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't persuade her anymore, so she just asked casually:
"What does your man do for a living now?"

A few days ago, Sheng Jiaojiao was not at home, Wenxiu's husband Zhang Jin came to Qi's house once, and gave him a pawn ticket and a small package.

Ask Miss Qi to tell him that the job that Jiao Niang entrusted to him has been done, and this is the money he brought back from Shanqing City.

Sheng Jiaojiao had seen the pawn ticket and the silver, the pawn ticket was real, and the money was not bad.

In fact, she had a similar estimate of the value of the jade bead necklace in her heart, and the money that Zhang Jin returned was similar to her estimate in her heart.

This person is available.

"Original farming at home"

Wenxiu sobbed, carefully put away the hundred-year-old bracelet, then wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and continued to talk,
"He's getting old, and he's in his forties now. Except for the job that Jiao Niang assigned some time ago, he has nothing to do after winter. He just stays at home every day."

There is also a militia in Huangguo Village, and Uncle Zhang is also in the militia in Huangguo Village.

But the militia in the village had no military pay, and after winter, Uncle Zhang lost half of his income.

Fortunately, Wenxiu was able to make money, so he took care of the housework at home every day, sent Wenxiu to Huangtu Village every day, and then picked her up.

Hearing Wenxiu's words, Sheng Jiaojiao nodded,

"Listen to you, your uncle treats you pretty well."

"It's not bad, but I can't make money, but I'm satisfied with what I'm doing now."

She married a widower. When she married, the Zhang family died and only Uncle Zhang was left. Apart from making no money, this man was good to Wenxiu in everything.

A man in his 40s can love others. Wenxiu cherishes his two elder sisters and often uses money to help her natal family. Uncle Zhang has no objections at all.

It was Wenxiu who was confinement, and Uncle Zhang took care of her. Today Wenxiu went out to thank her, and Uncle Zhang took care of the child at home, with a look of joy on his face.

This life is just a little poor, and there is nothing else that makes Wenxiu unhappy.

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and said to Wenxiu:

"Hello, I'm happy to see you like this. In fact, I have some things here, and I need to find a reliable person to take care of them. Your uncle is at home now, but is he willing to plant the land for me and do some errands? "

When he said this, there were several shopkeepers in the main room of Qi's family, talking to Mrs. Qi Er, and Mrs. Qi laughed. Although the atmosphere was harmonious, there was always something inappropriate among these shopkeepers.

After all, she had never traveled all over the world like a man.

Therefore, some things are not suitable for the second lady Qi to do, so I can only let Qi Rong do it, or wait for the three masters of the Qi family to come back from the north of the county before doing it.

Right now, Sheng Jiaojiao needs someone to help her with the babysitters Qi Ming has found, and to sell and distribute grain, and to run errands for her in the busy spring farming.

For example, pawning the box of gold, silver and jewelry in her hand to the pawnshop in Shanqing City, such an errand also requires a special person to do it.

When Wenxiu heard this, she immediately wiped away her tears and said joyfully:

"Of course my uncle is willing to do something for Jiao Niang. It's really my wish."

Seeing her answer, Sheng Jiaojiao stood up, took the curtain,

"Sitting in this room all the time, I feel depressed and panicked. Let's go out with me for a walk."

Wenxiu hurriedly followed Sheng Jiaojiao, and the two went out to the yard of Qi's family.

The shopkeepers in the main room had already chatted to the top of their hearts, leaving aside the second lady Qi who had nothing to say, and started chatting on their own. Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao leading Wenxiu out, they immediately greeted each other.
"Blessings, Jiao Niang."

"Busy now."

Sheng Jiaojiao responded politely, put the curtain on her head, and went outside.

Since Qi Ming recruited these acquainted peddlers as trustees, they have been going in and out of the Qi family from time to time, and they are all familiar with the Qi family. step, called Sheng Jiaojiao,
"Does Jiaoniang know what's new in the episode?"

Sheng Jiaojiao stopped and looked back.

The shopkeeper said:

"I heard that the emperor summoned His Royal Highness to return to the imperial capital to worship the ancestors on behalf of his father."

Another peddler also came forward and chatted:

"Your Majesty is really talented. It is said that as early as a few months ago, in memory of the deceased imperial grandmother, he specially wrote a memorial service and sent it to the imperial mausoleum. The emperor found out about this and thanked him for his filial piety. Bring him back to the imperial capital."

After hearing this, Sheng Jiaojiao knew that the sacrificial oration she wrote for Yin Ze had worked.

She frowned, her bright eyes were covered by soap gauze, and she couldn't help asking:

"Only one of the young highnesses is called? What about the other two nobles?"

A few shopkeepers laughed and said:

"The two of them? Haven't they been common people long ago?"

This is different from the previous life.

In the previous life, Yin Ze and the deposed prince couple should be recalled to the imperial capital together in the late summer of next year.

As soon as the news came out, Yin Ze took Sheng Jiaojiao back to Huangtu Village to bid farewell to his father and fellow villagers, and finally ushered in a massacre.

In this life, Sheng Jiaojiao imitated Yin Ze's handwriting in order to get the deposed prince's family to leave Zhishou County as soon as possible and relieve the pressure on Qi Zhang and Tan Ji. Weakness, get your son and grandson back to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

As a result, the emperor's heart was softened, but he only summoned Yin Ze to go back early.

Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't decide whether the sacrificial oration she wrote changed something, or her appearance made a different choice from her previous life, which triggered some different events.

Another shopkeeper laughed and said:
"It's good for these two to stay in Jishang. If they don't leave, the false rumors that the price of grain in the middle of winter will rise to sky-high prices will not be broken. The salesmen will continue to bring grain into Zhishou County, and we can continue to collect grain at a fair price."

The few shopkeepers that Qi Ming recruited were all from Zhishou County. They naturally knew how many people in Zhishou County would be killed by the high price of grain in midwinter.

So when Qi Ming came to look for them and said that he would set up a game to attract all the salesmen in Zhishou County, they agreed to help without saying a word.

If the emperor doesn't save Shou County, they will come to save him.

And during this period, it's not that they didn't earn money, they just earned less.

Looking at the happy smiles on the faces of these shopkeepers, Sheng Jiaojiao thought for a while, then glanced at the snow outside, and said:

"I can see that the salesmen in Nanji have almost raised the prices. These days, we can collect some military rations and send them to military households. This is the last batch of rations."
