The owner of those deep black eyes is none other than Qin Mo, a 15-year-old young scholar.At this very moment, he was staring at her with affection.

Xing'er's heart beat violently, and a big heart appeared on her face. At thirty years old (mental age), she was actually blushing and heart beating at the sight of such a little boy!There is no doubt that this young Qin Mo has taken a fancy to her and developed a love for her.Wow, a 15-year-old boy, this is the first love?Could it be that she was still his first love?

But, she's only 11 years old, okay?Such a big doll, just talk about love?Wow, this is too much, right?Moreover, a 15-year-old boy is not qualitative at all, and there is no guarantee that he will not like other women in the future.

Also, in a few months he will go to the Juren examination, and he will also take the Jinshi examination in the future.With his ability, he is sure to win the examination, and it is not difficult to be admitted to Jinshi!If you perform well, you may even be in the top three!Xing'er doesn't want to become Chen Xianglian one day. For her, the most important issue right now is not love or engagement, but investing in herself, accumulating capital, and growing stronger!

She quickly shifted her gaze, and led everyone along the gravel path by the fish pond to the embankment. Standing on the embankment and looking into the river, a beautiful beach came into everyone's eyes.

This beach is called White Beach, and it has a long history. According to the patriarch, it has been called that since his grandfather was a child.This section of the bed is very wide, with a distance of several tens of feet, and the beach is also very wide. In the dry season (autumn and winter), it is about an acre.When Myolie was a child, this white beach was one of the paradises for the children in Kaoshantun.

When she purchased the 20 acres of wasteland and the 50 acres of river beach land, she purposely paid [-] taels more for the [-]-year use rights of the beach and the river lot facing the [-] acres of land. Bought them together.Today, this beach, as well as the river about two miles long, have become her private property!

On the embankment, various flowers and trees are planted, including ornamental trees and fruit trees.There are wildflowers and herbs as well as medicinal herbs and berries.A section of the embankment was purposely made wider, it was a full three feet long, and hundreds of green bamboos were planted.A few months have passed, and now it has become a sea of ​​bamboo.

As the autumn wind blows, the green waves ripple and layer upon layer, bringing a powerful visual impact to everyone.The sweet river breeze blows across the cheeks, immediately making people feel refreshed and bright.On the other side of the river, there are cliffs, which form an extremely sharp contrast with the gentle and low terrain on this side of the river.There are ten elders.

Luotan Town, which belongs to Kaoshantun, and Maozhu Town, which belongs to Lishutun, are bounded by this big river, with Luotan Town on the east side and Maozhu Town on the west side of the river.This big river is called Liancui River, the name is very gentle, and I don't know which great scholar gave it to it.Winding for hundreds of miles, it finally flows into the Lijiang River that flows through Fucheng. It is said that it is the largest tributary of the Lijiang River.

The Kaoshantun area belongs to the upper reaches of the Liancui River, where the water is clear and clear.The source is the big mountain stream in Lishutun. The water in the mountain stream is clear and sweet mountain spring water. The water in this river has no impurities, only worse than mountain spring water, and can be drunk directly.

The three peasant officials are all Jinshi from the imperial examination, and the few attendants are also scholars who have read poetry and books.Tao Ranju (in a broad sense, refers to Myolie’s home, and the tens of acres of cropland, fish ponds, orchards, etc. next to the home), as well as the sparkling river, the beautiful white sandy beach, the deep Attracted these literati.

All of a sudden, there were cheers one after another.

Mr. Tang, who came from the government office, was the first to cheer, and even took off his shoes and socks, and walked down the white sand beach with his bare feet.Master Ning and Master Yu also followed suit when they saw this.Seeing the other attendants, they were taken aback for a moment, then all grinned, took off their shoes and socks one after another, and spread out on the beach.

The warm autumn sun kisses the fine white sand warmly.Stepping barefoot on the beach gives people a very comfortable and comfortable feeling.The adults strolled on the beach, chanting poems, pointing to the fish in the river and the mountain flowers on the opposite bank, laughing constantly.

The children who were digging loaches and eels in the rice fields were attracted by the laughter, and washed their feet and went ashore.He hid the small wooden barrel in the pile of straw, and with only a small hoe in his hand, he also came to the white sand beach.Those were the adults of the government yamen, and the little ones didn't dare to get close to them, so they scattered around the river bank, digging the grass roots, and peeking at the adults from time to time.

The strong stems of Chinensis are white, running horizontally underground, dense, with scales on the nodes, and the tip has a sweet taste.Children in the countryside have no snacks to eat, and anything that can be eaten in the mountains cannot escape the little mouths of those greedy children.This little chigen was also given a very beautiful name by the children - wild sugar cane!

A few brave children took a lot of chives and washed them in the river, and sat a foot away from Mr. Ning, eating the chives with relish, while looking at Mrs. Ning from time to time.

Master Ning is only 25 years old, handsome and gentle, full of talent, he is a young talent with a sense of justice.He didn't get angry when he noticed that the children were sneaking at him like this. Instead, he walked over with a smile, and asked with a very kind smile: "Xiaozi, what is the name of this grass root, is it delicious?".

The Xi Yazi who was asked was the patriarch's five-year-old grandson Chai Song. This child didn't expect that the big man would talk to him, so he was taken aback.He was usually very eloquent, but at this moment, he couldn't utter a word, and he was stunned with the half-chewed chrysanthemum root in his mouth.

A three-year-old girl next to her suddenly stood up, blessed Master Ning, and said crisply: "My lord, this is called Maogen, and we also call it wild sugarcane, it's delicious!" Saying, He handed over a few white chrysanthemum roots, and said generously: "This is the biggest and best chrysanthemum root I have dug. If you don't mind, you can eat it!"

This girl is Chai Song's younger sister, Chai Guo'er, she is pink and cute, well-behaved and sensible, everyone loves her.A simple coarse cloth shirt, although patched, but cleanly washed.

At this moment, she raised her small head, her big beautiful eyes flickered, and her chubby, pink and tender hands, like lotus root segments, held two or three pieces of grass flat in front of Master Ning Ning Yuan, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

Ning Yuan was overjoyed at once, took the chrysanthemum root with a smile, and put it in his mouth to chew like the little puppies.A trace of a different kind of sweetness flowed on the tip of the tongue, Master Ning hugged Guo'er, and rubbed her little face affectionately, with a happy and joyful expression.

One big and one small had a pleasant conversation, and the little girl Waguoer spoke country slang and popped out a series of funny children's words from time to time.What's rare is that Mr. Ning, who comes from a wealthy family, can't help being confused sometimes, not knowing what this kid is talking about.However, no matter whether he understood or not, he nodded in a face-saving manner, which made Guo'er laugh constantly.

Oh, this uncle is a good man!

The little girl, Guo'er, said so in her heart.

Xing'er noticed it, and felt that Guo'er's qualifications and character were very good, so she came up with the idea of ​​cultivating her well.Girls in this rural area do not have the opportunity to read and write at all, even if they come from a well-to-do patriarch's family, they are not listed as such.

A woman's ignorance is virtue, which has already taken root and deeply imprinted in the hearts of the world.Trying to persuade Guo'er's family to send Guo'er to school is simply a dream.I had no choice but to find an opportunity in private to give Guoer some guidance. When she turned five years old, I would find the right time to enlighten her so that she would not be blind.

What Xing'er didn't know was that her idea, and her "help" to Guo'er in the future, created an epoch-making strange woman for the Chai family.The little girl Guoer's life path has completely changed because of her kind deeds.

Xing'er talked happily with officials at all levels. When parting, the [-]-year-old Mr. Tang even said the words "see each other and hate it later", as if treating Xing'er as a year-end friend, as a rare and unrequited friend. Bosom friend.

"Girl A Xing, this is my name post. If you encounter difficulties, or have any innovations, remember to find me in Fucheng! This name post is specially made, and the number is not large. It is specially for very close relatives and friends. "Master Tang reminded her for a long time, a little reluctant to part, but more of a pity for this little girl, pity and love.

Oh, if this girl is a boy, how wonderful it would be!In that case, An Lan Country will have one more rare talent!What a pity, what a pity!

Master Tang sighed and sighed in his heart.What he didn't know was that this little girl would shine brilliantly in the years to come, not a boy, but even better than a boy!He has done many great deeds that will last forever and benefit the country and the people, and he is not lost to those seven-foot men who are famous outside!

Xing'er bowed profusely: "Thank you, my lord. My lord's words, Xing'er will keep in mind! If you are free in the future, welcome to come again! When the little girl plants new crops in the coming year, I will definitely send them to Fucheng as soon as possible!"

"Okay! There will be a time later! Girl, take care of yourself!" Master Tang smiled gratifiedly, and the moment he turned to get into the car, mist welled up in his eyes.This girl who was as old as his youngest granddaughter brought him so much touch and shock that he couldn't help feeling sad.

Mr. Yu from the state capital also gave Xing'er a name card, also earnestly exhorting her.After getting into the car, his face was also full of reluctance. He was in his forties, and his eyes were full of deep thought and emotion.

After the two superiors had finished saying their farewells, Lord Ning of the county yamen walked up to them, stretched out his right hand, and gently stroked the top of Xing'er's head. At the age of 25, he is a little more energetic and energetic than when he came here.The little girl Xing'er, let him see some kind of light of hope, no longer so pessimistic about his future, no longer so depressed!

So what if he was suppressed by his family and sent out to this remote mountainous area to be a small eighth-rank farmer?Xing'er, an eleven-year-old girl, can survive such a difficult situation and create a beautiful world of her own.He is a light and strong young man, what reason does he have to be depressed and pessimistic?

What Xing'er said is right, 360 lines, every line will be the number one!Even if it is just a small agricultural official who is as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, as long as he is dedicated to his job, as long as he loves life and works tirelessly with the established goal in mind, then tomorrow will definitely be better, more fulfilling and more valuable, not at all better than those in the government. The third-rank officials who are intriguing in the hall are poor!

Master Ning gave Xing'er a name card, a jade pendant carved with special patterns, and several agricultural books.He bowed respectfully to the elders, then turned around gracefully, got on his horse, and left in a hurry.

Holding the three name cards and a piece of jade pendant in her hands, Xing'er finally made up her mind: buy a shop in the capital tomorrow, open a unique specialty store of agricultural products, and strive to earn enough wealth before the war comes!

Opening a shop and doing business was something she had thought about for a long time.In the past few months, the main reason why no action has been taken is because the term of Qin Mo's county magistrate uncle has expired and he has been transferred to other places to be the magistrate.She is a rural girl with no power or influence. I believe that if she opens a shop rashly, she will be taken over by her unscrupulous uncle in a few days!If one fails, it will put the eldest sister and A Niang in danger.

Now, the time is finally ripe!

Master Ning said that the new county magistrate is also a good official who is just and honest, and he is not very right with her unscrupulous uncle.At this time, Chai Liang couldn't take care of himself, he was worried that the county magistrate would trouble him, and he didn't have the time, energy and ability to harm and plot against Xing'er's family.

This time, based on Xing'er's contribution to the "agricultural cause", government offices at all levels (fu, state, and county) gave her bonuses of 300 taels, 200 taels, and 100 taels respectively as a reward for the little girl. Myolie's encouragement and support.

Xing'er sold a few more sheep, a few pigs, dozens of chickens, ducks and geese, and five thousand three-jin fish, making up 100 taels, together with the 600 taels bonus, and the 1000 taels given by Shen Jie. Two, I have 700 taels on hand.She took Dongfang Yunshu to the county seat, and with the help of Shopkeeper He, she rented a shop with a backyard.

The storefront is quite to her liking, about [-] square meters; there are three main rooms in the backyard, three side rooms in the east and west, kitchen, firewood, thatched hut and small warehouse, and a sweet water well.The most rare thing is that there is even a small back garden with a big locust tree, a Xifu crabapple, and an apricot tree more than ten years old.In the southeast corner, there is also a pavilion and a small vegetable field, which is really good!

Xing'er fell in love with it right away, and rented it without hesitation, and all procedures were completed on the same day.The monthly rent is ten taels, and the store is purchased for only 500 taels.Everyone advised her to just buy it and forget it, but Xing'er shook her head firmly: "No, I don't have that much money on hand, and I don't know if the business is good, so let's see it first!"

Both Dongfeng Yunshu and shopkeeper He muttered: "Isn't there more than 1000 taels of silver? Where is there no money? It is more cost-effective to buy the shop."

Xing'er smiled slightly, and didn't bother to explain much.Just kidding, a year and a half later, there will be wars and bandits.By that time, the entire county town was almost burned to the ground. She wouldn't do such a loss-making business!

The store was named "Chaiji Agricultural Products Firm", which is easy to understand and easy to remember.Myolie drew a sketch of the decoration, and invited Uncle Li to build the shelves, as well as two sets of tables and chairs.He also invited the construction team to help him build the house, refurbished the storefront, built a pavilion in the courtyard, and built a large stove in the pavilion.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the firm opened its grand opening!

There were not many people who came to congratulate him, it was nothing more than Master Qin, a few families he knew from selling wild game and vegetables in the past, as well as shopkeeper He and several doctors and assistants from Jishitang.Of course, a few people also went to Kaoshantun and Lishutun, congratulating them and helping them.

The main products of the firm are fried seeds and tofu products.Roasted seeds and nuts are mainly spiced melon seeds, spiced peanuts, spiced broad beans, and chestnuts.Xing'er understood that the people of An Languo know very little about spices, and there is nothing else that can be found in the market except ginger, onion, garlic and celery.

After waiting for a long time, Xing'er finally looked forward to the fruitful autumn. She took the guards to live in Lishutun's house for more than ten days, and collected enough spices such as star anise and pepper in the mountains to make "Chai's Eighteen Fragrances".

It is said that there are only six kinds of spices in the eighteen incense, and the eighteen incense is just a gimmick, used to deceive and confuse people.As for chestnuts, in An Lan Country, no one knew that they were edible.There is a wild mountain in Lishutun, the mountain is full of chestnuts, Xing'er led the guards, picked for five days, and finally wiped out all the chestnuts in that mountain.The entire small warehouse is filled with at least tens of thousands of catties.

In addition, more than a dozen villagers from Lishutun were hired to go to other hills and pick five thousand catties.As for the spice crops, several thousand catties were collected, and Xing'er's footprints were left on the several mountains near Lishutun.

The martial arts of the guards were all very good. Dongfang Langyue led a group of people, and she led a group of people under Dongfang Yunshu's personal protection, going deep into the inaccessible mountains and forests, and gained a lot.In addition to collecting a lot of spices, many rare medicinal materials and cotton were also discovered!No one knows about cotton in An Lan Country and the surrounding countries!The discovery of cotton is undoubtedly a huge harvest, which laid a solid foundation for her future success!

Cotton is an amazing discovery; and tofu is also a huge resource for Myolie!In Myolie's words, it is "the pie fell from the sky, it just hit my dripper!"

People in this time and space know that soybeans can be fried and eaten, and a few people will use them to make soup.Tofu, hadn't been invented yet.Dried tofu and tofu flower, not to mention!

Before the opening of the Chaijia Agricultural Products Company, Xing'er printed and distributed a large number of leaflets, and hired thirty teenagers from the county town to distribute leaflets all over the city.At the same time, invitations were sent to Mr. Qin, several acquainted rich families, and Shopkeeper He.On the day of the opening, there was a huge crowd of people at the entrance of the store, and there was an endless stream of people watching the excitement.

Beforehand, Myolie made careful arrangements and brought out all the members of the escort team who were over the age of 13 to maintain order and prevent disturbance.In this way, there is no situation where people step on people.Cui Chaosheng was very conscious of being a captain, without Xing'er's orders, he forcefully divided the spectators into two teams, one for men and one for men, and formed a long line at the door.

Chaiji Agricultural Products Company not only has novelty items, but also can be tasted, and there is a [-]% discount three days before the opening.With these three points, as well as the leaflets flying all over the city before, it is impossible not to be lively on the opening day!

All kinds of food samples were packed in a small clean tray, and He Xiang and her elder brother Chang Fu were responsible for distributing them.He Xiang is in charge of entertaining the female guests, and Chang Fu is in charge of entertaining the male guests.Customers who have tasted it, under the lobbying of "salesmen" Zaoxiang and Yunying, will buy a few catties of roasted seeds and nuts or tofu products.

Zaoxiang and Yunying boasted the "five-spice" roasted seeds and beans, as well as soy products, as if "this thing originally existed in the sky, and it is rare to see it in the world".Both of them are pink and tender little girls, with crisp and bright voices, and sweet and enthusiastic smiles on their childish faces.

Beautiful things often bring people a happy mood, and beautiful words can also make people's hearts move quietly.After hearing the words of the little girls, the guests couldn't help being a little tempted, their minds were spinning rapidly, thinking about whether to buy or not, and if they bought, it was better to buy as much as possible.

At this time, the benefits of knowing a big family are revealed!

The butler of the Qin family, and the shopkeeper of the "Xiangmanlou" restaurant opened by the Qin family, came down with the hands in charge of purchasing!After congratulating the opening, I bought a lot of vegetables, roasted seeds and soy products.Every item is purchased in tens of catties, especially spiced melon seeds, which cost fifty catties.

"Wow! Fifty catties came at once? Fortunately, the master had the foresight to let us prepare two hundred catties in advance, otherwise no one behind would have to buy it!" Qi Zhengliang couldn't help but exclaimed, the voice was quite Loud and attention-grabbing, overshadowing the din of the scene.

The crowd suddenly boiled!

Someone exclaimed: "Hey, isn't that the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou? Well, it seems to be the butler of the Qin Mansion!" Someone also shouted: "Hey, hurry up and buy it! It's too late, there won't be any!" It's out!"

With this shout, those who were still watching, took back their steps.A woman in her thirties quickly turned around and entered the business store, and came to the counter: "Man, melon seeds, peanuts, and that thing called chestnut, each with two catties! Let's try a catty of tofu first." , if it’s delicious, come and buy more tomorrow! No, two catties of tofu will be fine!” Subconsciously, they all felt that buying only one catty of tofu seemed a bit stingy.

With a good start, the following things will be much simpler and smoother!

Again, almost none of the people who tried it left empty-handed.The few people who didn't buy it, that is, those who deliberately came to take advantage of it and came to try it!Most of these people are punks.After trying it, he wanted to make trouble, but was subdued by the guards at once, so he had to leave in despair.

Training the guards, when they are needed, and opening a shop to do business, is something Myolie has considered in advance!These days, there are many gangsters, and there are many villains who bully men and women.It is not so easy to open a store in the county and gain a firm foothold!

Within an hour of opening, nearly half of the prepared items in the shop were sold out.Lianxiang counted the copper coins until she became soft-handed, and Taoer crackled her special abacus, smiling from ear to ear: "Xing'er, today's business is really booming, fortunately I learned abacus from you, and it's also a good idea." I learned arithmetic (mental arithmetic), otherwise I really can't handle this scene!"

Tao'er is responsible for collecting the money, she is the cashier and cashier appointed by Xing'er, and she is in charge of making the accounts herself.Tao'er, who is not yet 14 years old, after more than half a year of recuperation (that is, eat well, drink well, and participate in the training of the guards), Xing'er was thin when she first saw her, strong, strong, and rosy. Looks great!

In the entire backing village, she can be regarded as a village flower!Standing with Xing'er, an ugly girl with a bit of a boyish personality, she looks even more beautiful, elegant and gentle.In the eyes of her elders, Myolie is usually a little out of character (that is, too lively), that is, she only shows her dignified and gentle side on very formal occasions.

Such Taoer attracted a lot of attention.

Among the guests, there were many women who secretly inquired about Tao'er's situation, and wanted to marry back and be a daughter-in-law for their son.There is also an old lady in her fifties who is very kind to Tao'er, the more she looks at her, the more she feels that she is the best candidate for grandson-in-law!

Tao'er was so seen that her face turned red, the roots of her ears turned red, and even her neck turned red!

Myolie watched coldly, and couldn't help secretly laughing!

Sister, I have grown up, and someone likes it!

The little girl Xing'er has a kind of pride and pride of "my family has a sister who has just grown up"!This was a year ago, and the old Xing'er didn't even dare to think that she, her elder sister, and younger sister could marry a good family and live a happy life!

At that time, Myolie's heart was hanging in the air all the time, and she was always worried that her eldest sister would be betrayed by her uncle!And she is likely to be forced into a sedan chair by her uncle and auntie, and marry a fool or an old man!It's all right now, everything is gone with the wind, and no one can manipulate and control her and her family at will anymore!

Xing'er let out a long sigh of relief.

However, something unexpected happened again!

"Ugly girl, you opened a shop in the city, but you didn't tell your uncle, you are disobedient and unfilial!" A roar exploded above Xing'er's head, causing her ears to ring.When she looked up, she met the vicious and vicious eyes of her unscrupulous uncle.

Xing'er was very surprised.Unexpectedly, Chai Rong, who was in trouble all over, would dare to openly trouble her.Her eyes became sharper, she squinted at Chai Rong, and snorted coldly: "My family was kicked out a year ago, and it has nothing to do with you! It seems that my family does not need your permission to open a store and do business." ?”

Before Chai Rong had time to answer, Liu's sharp voice came in through the crowd: "Hey, you ugly and stinky girl, have you eaten the guts of a leopard?! In front of the elders, how can you have the guts of a leopard?" Do you have room to speak? When you meet your own uncle, it’s fine if you don’t kneel down and salute, but you dare to contradict him! What the hell is going on?!”
