After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

The day before Li Xiaoying moved to Zhuangzi, Li Fangyun came to Ning Yu.

After understanding Li Fangyun's reason for coming, Ning Yu said: "Second sister-in-law wants to go to Zhuangzi, why don't you talk to grandma and second uncle and aunt?"

Li Fangyun had a bitter face, looking very embarrassed.

"Grandmother and parents have been angry with me for so many years, and now the anger has just disappeared, I'm afraid..."

Even she herself felt that when her husband married her, it was like a flower planted in cow dung, so she could understand the grudge in the old man's heart.

A family needs to communicate more to be closer, and Ning Yu doesn't plan to help with this.

"Second sister-in-law is worrying too much!
"Grandmother and second aunt are not the kind of people who can't tell right from wrong, and the Xu family has no family rules that require a daughter-in-law to serve her parents-in-law, husband and child at home.

"The second sister-in-law thinks that developing crop seeds and improving farming methods are important things that benefit the country and the people, and she is willing to devote herself to it. She should speak out to her elders and use her own skills to convince them.

"As for the second uncle, it has always been the grandmother who thinks it is reasonable, so he thinks it is reasonable, and the second aunt thinks it should be done, and he thinks it is reasonable."

"But..." Li Fangyun was in a dilemma.

She understands what Seventh Sister said, but after all, she has only been here for a few days, and she is the first daughter-in-law of her grandchildren, and her family background is not good. Okay what to do?
Because of her, Xianggong has been home for more than ten years and has not been able to return. It is hard to let go of the previous suspicions, but it cannot be caused by the rift between Xianggong and his elders because of her ignorance for a while.

Ning Yu understood Li Fangyun's hesitation, and said patiently:
"Sister-in-law, look at the women in the family. Needless to say, the grandmother, the second aunt and my mother, how often did they look down on the husband? In the final analysis, it is because the second aunt and my mother used to manage the family's tea business. Now they are in charge of Chunhua Street. The second uncle and my father have to ask their daughter-in-law to spend money.

"Look at the girls...

"The fifth elder sister is determined to lead the three armies to expand the territory. For this reason, she doesn't count nine cold winters. She goes out to race horses every day before dawn, and practices martial arts in the morning and evening. The books she reads are all military strategies, even if they tell her that women are not allowed to go to school. On the battlefield, she never stopped.

"Sixth sister is not interested in outside affairs, so she learned to manage the house early, and she is a real lady of the family, even at the Hundred Flowers Banquet where noble girls gather, so what about the daughter of a merchant, and the sister of a small official No matter what, the skills are still overwhelming.

"The eighth younger sister and the ninth younger sister adore the big brother, and secretly compete with each other. The second aunt said yesterday that she would open a store for each of them on Chunhua Street.

"It's the same with me. From childhood to adulthood, I only worked hard for one thing. I took the imperial examination to become a good official who punished the people and pleaded for the people.

"I saw that the second sister-in-law competed with the maid for work these few days, did the second sister-in-law ever think about it, if you did the maid's job, what would the maid do?
"Second sister-in-law, it's easy to get old with time, and you have been in a hurry for decades. Don't waste your precious time on things that lack you a lot and have a lot of you. No matter how others have no choice, you have choices and you know your own. Where your ambition lies, you should not shrink back.

"Grandmother often said that the most important thing in a person is to have what you want and what you want, and what is most important to be fearless and brave. If the second sister-in-law finds a career that she is willing to fight for, grandma will only be happy and will not blame you."

Li Fangyun told Ning Yu that her cheeks were hot, and she was so cramped that she didn't know what to do.

She understood that Seventh Sister was encouraging her, but she was just a country woman, and she didn't even know how to read her husband before she met her husband. In the past few years, she grew crops with Xiaoying, and gradually realized that maybe she could also do something for her own benefit. people thing.

She is not as knowledgeable or courageous as her sister-in-laws. She dare not face her grandmother and mother-in-law who have been up and down in the mall for decades, especially when her husband is not around.

"If the second sister-in-law still has scruples, I will accompany you to find your grandmother and second aunt."

Li Fangyun's eyes lit up when she heard the words, but without waiting for her to be happy, she heard Seventh Sister continue: "But I want Second Sister-in-law to speak for herself."

After thinking about it again and again, Li Fangyun nodded resignedly.

"Okay, let me tell you."

……

Coincidentally, the second wife was talking about her daughter-in-law with the old lady.

"Fang Yun is really talented in business!"

"Last night I taught her to check the accounts, mother guess what?"

The second lady asked herself and answered:

"I just taught it once, and she said yes. I thought this kid was talking big, so I showed her the account books of the year-end exams of the apprentices last year. I didn't expect that she only used two sticks of incense to find the mistake and figured it out. The number is an hour and a half faster than the top-ranked stud."

"One and a half hours! Mother!"

The second wife was full of joy, repeatedly emphasizing "an hour and a half", feeling relieved to have finally found the heir after years of searching.

The old lady also clicked her tongue slightly.

She also looked at the account books, calculated it so quickly, and looked at the account checking, the speed was almost as fast as that of the eldest grandson.

However, being sensitive to numbers can only mean that he may become a good accountant, but the second daughter-in-law said that the child has a talent for business. The old lady felt strange, so she asked: "How can you tell that this child is suitable for business? "

Mentioning this, the second lady became even more delighted.

He was so happy that he forgot about his seniority and inferiority, and sat down on the coffee table separated from the old lady.

The second wife said as if offering a treasure:

"Daughter-in-law and younger siblings have been thinking about the renovation plan of Chunhua Street for the past two days, and they can't think of a way... The daughter-in-law took Xiaoba Xiaojiu and a group of apprentices to Chunhua Street to inspect yesterday afternoon, and by the way, Fangyun also Called, this kid listened to me about the Chunhua Street problem, thought about it for a while, and immediately made some suggestions."

"The daughter-in-law felt that what she said made some sense, so she wrote it down and read it on paper. Not only did she make some sense, it was the best way to save Chunhua Street."

The second lady took out a piece of paper and handed it to the old lady.

"My brothers and sisters also applauded after seeing it. We thought we would go to Chunhua Street again today, and talk to our mother about it when we come back."

The old lady put on her reading glasses and held up the paper for a closer look.

As a street for eating, drinking and having fun, Chunhua Street is facing a serious problem - insufficient flow of people.

Due to the lack of traffic, a small half of the storefronts could not be rented out.

Except for the brothels, only the Zhuangyuan Building, Yipin Building, Baixi Troupe and a few specialty snack stalls with their own brand effects are still doing business, and the others are struggling to make ends meet. In the past two days alone, the owners of seven stores have come to return rent.

The second lady looked at the old lady who was seriously looking at the suggestion.

She continued: "The daughter-in-law plans to officially teach Fang Yun how to do business from today, and our Xu family will produce another business genius like Brother Wen."

"En." The old lady handed the paper to the second lady, and praised without hesitation: "It's really good, you're very talented...Since you have this plan, teach her well, and wait for Brother Wen to stabilize." Let Brother Wen take her out for a walk."

The old lady imagined a bright future for the Xu family to become the richest man in the world under the management of her eldest grandson and grandson-in-law. Together with her second daughter-in-law, she made a plan for the future of the talented grandson-in-law.

and so……

When they heard with their own ears that their grandson's (daughter) daughter-in-law said that she and Li Xiaoying would go to Zhuangzi to farm, their attitudes were still firm, and their heads buzzed.

Although they knew that what Li Xiaoying was doing was a big deal, the old lady and the second lady still didn't want Li Fangyun to farm.

But even though the old lady and the second lady bluntly mentioned that Li Fangyun has business talent, Li Fangyun still did not change her original intention, so the heads of the old lady and the second lady buzzed again.

In fact, in Li Fangyun's opinion, she is also very talented in farming, and it has been proven that she is very talented.

Comparing the two, of course she chooses the one she loves.

It's been a long time.

The old lady took her daughter-in-law's hand, patted the back of her hand lightly, and said with kindness on her face: "It's rare that you have great ambitions, firm will, and the demeanor of my girl from the Xu family. Grandma will naturally support the great things that benefit the people." you."

"mother--"

The second lady couldn't help making a sound, but was stared back by the old man.
