Second spring

"You girl, you're not greedy at all." Mrs. Lin smiled reassuringly.

Lin Yijia smiled, said nothing, and turned to look at Lin Jiakang's painting.Perhaps because of the recent ups and downs in his family, Lin Jiakang has become much calmer and more mature, reflected in his painting skills, that is, his paintings have gradually lost their childishness, and his painting style has become more mature.

He is already famous.

Lin Yijia looked at it for a while, marveled in her heart, and thought: In three to five years, will my younger brother become a famous family?Well, by then, he can have a good life selling paintings...

After watching the sunset, the group went down the mountain.

On the road, all the beasts roared, walking among the mountains and forests, their faces changed.Behind Lin Yijia, Lan Tian shrank his neck and looked around, fearing that a tiger, leopard and other ferocious beasts would suddenly rush out of the nearby forest.

Lan Si is a bold person with high skills, walking back and forth beside Lin Yijia, guarding against any accidents.

The guards scattered around the forest, shooting many prey.The hillside here is a little gentler, and there are many boars coming out to look for food at this time. After the guards killed two of them without any effort, the rest didn't do anything. Even if they met them face to face, they just drove them away.

The further you go down, you can come across mountain people who go hunting in the mountains, and they can catch a hare or something, and there are very few empty-handed people.Seeing the Lin family and his party, they all took the initiative to avoid it.

"Relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, people here have a pretty good life, right?" Mrs. Lin asked.

Lin Shiqing nodded: "The main reason is that the weather conditions here are very good, there are few major disasters, and it is still possible to fill your stomach. And the fields here are uneven, and the real powerful people don't like it. Therefore, land acquisition is not serious, and the folk customs are good. "

"But hunting is dangerous, and the land is too little. If a family can have more than ten acres of land to wait on, it is considered a household. But this land, the production is really limited... Once the number of people in the family grows, there is no way to sell it. There are also prostitutes." Lin Shiqing added.

"Hmm." Mrs. Lin asked: "After years of rest and recuperation, Daxian's population has indeed increased. Is there no other way? Shiqing, I remember I told you. Westerners have a very high-yield crop. ?"

"You mean sweet potatoes?" Lin Shiqing frowned slightly, and said, "I haven't forgotten, it's just..."

Regarding the per mu yield of sweet potatoes described by his wife, that figure is extremely scary. It is not that Lin Shiqing doesn't believe his wife, but he really can't believe it!I just thought my wife had heard it.Mistaken!Therefore, when she was in Guangzhou, after Mrs. Lin asked the sea fleet to pay attention, Lin Shiqing didn't pay attention.

"You don't believe my words?" Mrs. Lin raised her brows high, with some anger in her words, she said: "You don't believe me! Lin Shiqing. I thought that even if you didn't believe me, you would find him to verify it Fan. After all, it is about the stomachs of thousands of people, and even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must work hard. I didn't expect you to be completely indifferent! I misunderstood you!"

Seeing his wife, Lin Shiqing's face became serious: "Is there really such a high output? The fleet did not find the sweet potatoes you mentioned a few times ago. This time, the fleet should arrive in Guangzhou in time. I have ordered them to dispose of everything they don't know. Leave a point for all the seeds, and we will all look at it later.”

Only then did Mrs. Lin realize that she had made a mistake—it wasn't that he didn't care.It's because they haven't found anything yet... Mrs. Lin said: "Shiqing, think about it. Since the rumors say that the crop's yield per mu is so high, even if it is exaggerated, we will give you a discount. It is still an incredible yield. Moreover, I heard that sweet potatoes can be grown anywhere..."

"I understand." Lin Shiqing said: "I believe this time the fleet will definitely gain something. I'm just free at the moment, so I'm here to catch this matter."

"Well, just take it to heart." Mrs. Lin said no more.

The group went down the mountain, and after dinner, Mrs. Lin still couldn't help but smile.After dinner, she recruited Lin Yijia and asked her to take a walk nearby with her.Not far around the foot of the mountain, there is a small stream flowing, sparkling.

"Mother is still unhappy about the sweet potato?" Lin Yijia comforted softly: "It's not that Dad doesn't do anything and doesn't believe you. The problem is that I haven't found any sweet potato seeds, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"Yi'er, when I was in Guangzhou, my mother actually had someone buy a lot of money from those Westerners." Mrs. Lin said: "Businessmen pay a lot of money, I think they should have bought that crop long ago, but I kept buying it." No message received."

"Why? It's just because after we left Guangzhou, no one took my words to heart anymore, they just thought I was a whim." Mrs. Lin's expression was a little dark: "If I were a man..."

She said the last few words very lightly, so lightly that she didn't want Lin Yijia to hear them.Lin Yijia's heart was shaken, and she subconsciously bit her lips——Happy as her own mother, she also intentionally finds it hard to get over it!Can say things like "if she was a man"!

"This world is too unfair to women." Mrs. Lin let out a long breath, as if she had forgotten what she just said, she patted Lin Yijia's hand and said with a smile: "So, mother sincerely hopes that you can have love. People... Well, I'm not afraid of making a mistake in love, I'm just afraid that I haven't loved before. If I make a mistake in love, I will start all over again with Li, and my mother will always support you. "

Lin Yijia was even more confused by Mrs. Lin's words: Mother, what's wrong?I haven't gotten married yet, so why do I even put the word "heli" on my lips!Did my mother forget that reconciliation is the most difficult thing in the world?Even if it succeeds, all of them...

Lin Yijia didn't know how to start a conversation.

Mrs. Lin also seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and said: "Mother, I don't know why today, and my heart is very confused. If you say something wrong, Xiao Liu, you can't remember and can't listen. Sigh..." Could it be that she herself Life is so smooth that you forget where you are, what self-worth are you trying to seek?

What a brain break!

As long as her family is safe and happy, she doesn't care if other people's houses are leaking!

But... I didn't expect that my little daughter had ambitions.Seeing Lin Yijia's ability to earn a lot of money and do good deeds in Qingfengnian, Mrs. Lin felt very relieved.Said: "Your father is not interested in farming. He is more concerned about Shushan Academy now. And Yier, you have been very loyal and respected by everyone in Qingfengnian, so Mother wants to entrust the search for sweet potatoes and other crops to you and Happy New Year."

"mother……"

Lin Yijia didn't know what to say, Madam Lin waved her hand and said: "You believe in mother, what mother said is absolutely true. And since you want to do something, mother will always support you. However, since you have made up your mind, you will Don’t be afraid of someone’s gossip and bad words.”

"No." Lin Yijia bit her lip and said, "Thank you, mother."

The so-called gossip.It's just a hindrance to her marriage.And she herself doesn't have much expectations for the so-called "beloved" in the future, so why would she care about those gossip?Besides, she runs Qingfengnian, and shopkeepers usually show up, and she doesn't have to stand at the counter in public, so who can say anything...

Mrs. Lin was very pleased.Let Lin Yijia support her while walking.

Back then, she didn't have a parent who was willing to support her, and the Feng family couldn't be her support for wanton tossing.More importantly, she met Lin Shiqing and met her husband, so she became Lin's wife wholeheartedly.Raising children has been done until now.She is willing.Sweet as sweet.

——Since her husband's aspirations are not in farming, she should not force him, but share his like-mindedness and be enthusiastic about education.Between husband and wife, isn't the way to harmony lies in one advance and one retreat?

After returning to the carriage, Lin Yijia remembered the matter of sweet potatoes in her heart.

She found a pen and paper.A letter was quickly written and sealed.Let Lan Tian find someone to send it out.Since Qing Fengnian had benefited greatly from harvesting grain from Nanyang, shopkeeper Lin Qing paid more attention to communicating with Nanyang people.This is a year-round harvest land.Shopkeeper Lin Qing may not have acted too hastily. After buying land and building a large manor not far from the coast, he discovered several local fruits one after another, such as bananas, mangoes, kiwis, pineapples, watermelons, longan and so on.These fruits are not in Shengjing. Although they are not rare, they are expensive.And in some local places, these things are rotting on the trees and no one collects them!

However, although these fruits are not easy to damage in the short term, they cannot sustain long-term transportation.Seeing so much wealth rotten in front of his eyes, shopkeeper Lin Qing recruited many people to find a way, and finally let him find several ways——

One is to pick the branches, picking the seven or eight ripe ones (anyway, those fruit trees are everywhere, and it’s not a big deal to cut off the branches); the second is to make various dried fruits; the third is what he learned from Westerners, that is, Brewed into juice, stored at low temperature and made into jam for sale!

The first batch of fresh fruits transported to Shengjing in the year of Qingfeng was sought after by the nobles. Although some rotted on the way, they still made a lot of money!The profit is more than ten times higher than the profit of grain!

Lin Yijia praised the shopkeeper Chen Qing without hesitation, and after asking Mrs. Lin for her opinion, she gave Chen Qing half of the shares and promised him that if any of his sons had good qualifications, he would be allowed to leave his nationality and join the children of the Lin family. read together.

Lin Qing and his wife immediately burst into tears of gratitude, and respected Lin Yijia like heaven in their hearts!

Since the master wants that seed, no matter what it is, just let the master find it immediately!

After Lin Yijia wrote the letter, she washed up and rested.

The letter quickly reached the shopkeeper Chen Qing's hands, and someone knew the contents of the letter.

Sweet potato?

What is this?

Yang Guangbei stared at the sketch for a while before admitting that he didn't know it, and said to the visitor: "Go to Guangzhou to find it yourself, and ask more among foreigners. When did you find it, and when did you find it?" return."

"Master..." The visitor said in a difficult way: "Why don't you let the people below do it? Master, the family is not peaceful in the end..."

Emperor Yingqing came to the throne, especially after he ordered to marry Princess Yuanxin as his queen, the apparent calm of Marquis Wuxing's mansion was inevitably cracked - Princess Yuanxin was the daughter of the current Marquis of Wuxing Yang Erye. But right now Second Master Yang is trapped in the capital, but Third Master Yang holds [-]% of the power of the Northwest Army!The Northwest Army is the base of the Yang family again!If Third Master Yang wins the war against Xiliang, his reputation will be unparalleled for a while!The Northwest Army will only recognize him as one of the Yang family!

Although on the surface, Third Master Yang is still very respectful to Second Master Yang, but he is not the son of the eldest princess, and he is not the same mother as Second Master Yang!

People's hearts are unpredictable, and the former son of Wu Xinghou, Yang Guangbei has grown up in a low-key way...

Even if Yang Guangbei never mentioned the title of title, anyone would have to think: Who wouldn't want a title?What's more, the title was originally his own!Yang Guangbei's low profile.Maybe it has a special meaning in the eyes of some people!

At this time, this person is Yang Guangbei's right-hand man, how could he leave!

"Zichou, do as I say." Yang Guangbei said: "There is still Yin Yi watching here, so there will be no trouble." Yang Guangbei waved his hand.

Zi Chou seemed a little helpless, and left the room with fists folded.

After he went out, he found Yin Yi who was dressed as a servant outside the room, and said: "I'm leaving, you should be more careful. Alas, the master is fascinated by that... What kind of small thing is a sweet potato, a little sesame seed, and luck , can’t you just send someone there? Really.”

"If you keep talking nonsense, be careful that I won't save you then." Yin Yi warned him, "Don't you know what kind of person the master is? It's right for you to find this thing and return to Beijing as soon as possible. Look, don't rush out of Beijing. Go and show the picture to those foreigners first... Isn't there a seasonal group in Shengjing? Maybe they have this thing on hand. Even if they don't, as long as they can Tell me the source...if the master knows, maybe he won't let you leave the capital."

"That's right!" Zichou slapped his head and said, "I'll go and ask." After saying that, he didn't linger any longer and left quickly.

Yang Guangbei spread out the canvas.After adjusting the paint, he picked up the pen and closed his eyes.

He seemed to smell the faint but alluring fragrance again.Filled in his heart.After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly daubed on the oilcloth—today, he finally completed his second work with a pious attitude.

Yin Yi walked in quietly, lowering his head and concentrating.It wasn't until Yang Guangbei breathed out and put down his pen that he opened his mouth and said, "Master. The old ancestor asked you to go there."

"Do you know what happened?" Yang Guangbei asked.He just went to see the eldest princess in the morning.

Yin Yi shook his head and said: "Before the ancestor spoke, Mrs. Hou and the third lady visited the ancestor both front and back."

Could it be that those two women are provoking something?Yang Guangbei was thoughtful.His parents were not there in the early years, but the eldest princess took good care of him. The two aunts treated him as if they were not far or near at first glance, but at worst they treated him as if he did not exist. People are average.Among the brothers and sisters, except for Princess Tongyuanxin, who could say a few words, everyone else was gone.

After putting away the paintings, Yang Guangbei went out of his courtyard and arrived at the Mercy Courtyard in three steps.

"Grandmother, are you looking for me?" Yang Guangbei sat on the low stool beside the eldest princess after saluting.

"Well... Grandmother just wants to see my grandson." Princess Hongyuechang looked kindly, and touched Yang Guangbei's face with a pair of freckled hands.

"Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, my grandson has grown up..." Princess Hongyue's eyes became misty, and she sighed: "I have kept them from getting close to you these years, and I have left you alone." Shandi has grown up, can you blame me?"

Yang Guangbei shook his head and said with a smile: "It is enough for me to have my grandmother love me. I know my grandmother is doing it for my own good."

"It's good for you to know, it's good for you to know." Princess Hongyue burst into tears: "Back then, I gave the title of Marquis of Wu Xing to your second uncle instead of to you, and I said that I would wait until you grow up. Finding a title for you... just to let them not embarrass you, a little baby... and afraid that they will not give up, so I simply issued a strict order not to allow them to approach you..."

She is a royal princess, used to seeing all kinds of ruthless battles.

If she hadn't made such an arrangement and made such a promise, Yang Guangbei might not be able to grow up properly!If she hadn't separated his relatives far away, I'm afraid Yang Guangbei would have an "accident" at some point!A child, in more than ten years, there are many accidents!

Fortunately, Yang Guangbei finally grew up safely.

Moreover, she is also very sensible, can understand the difficulties of her arrangement, and will not blame her.

"Grandmother will tell you the truth..." Princess Hongyue Chang sighed: "If the late emperor was still alive, grandmother would be able to give you a title with a five-point chance. Because when the late emperor was young, it was not easy to survive in the palace. Grandmother I have taken care of him a lot, and he respects me as an aunt very much. And..."

Moreover, Princess Hongyue faintly felt that the death of the old Hou Ye might not be unrelated to Tong Jing and the emperor.Jing and Di must be guilty of her.Not to mention she said that as long as there is only one title, Jing Hedi should agree to her as compensation.

But this reason is not easy to tell Yang Guangbei.

Princess Hongyue didn't know that Yang Guangbei already knew all the secrets and planned the death of Emperor Jinghe.Yang Guangbei sat there quietly, as if he didn't care what she meant.

Princess Hongyue continued: "But now, I don't have that confidence anymore."

Emperor Ying Qing was already considered her grandson, and his affection had faded long ago, at least not worthy of a title.

Princess Hongyue's tears were blurred, and she looked at Yang Guangbei full of guilt: "Xiaobei, what do you think now? Grandma has no skills, let alone make your second uncle return the title to you..."

Yang Guangbei patted the old lady's hand lightly to keep her from talking, and said, "Grandmother, my grandson doesn't want any title. My grandson doesn't have that much ambition, nor does he have that much ability, and he's afraid of trouble." , it’s better not to have a title.”

Seeing Princess Hongyue's disbelief, he smiled again and said, "Grandmother, why don't you give more money to compensate your grandson? The grandson will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, so he can spend whatever he wants...hehe .”

The so-called palms and backs are all meat.

Second Master Yang is also her own son.She can't lose him.As for Yang Guangbei... who said that Yang Guangbei was too young at that time?She has protected this grandson from growing up, and it is no loss to her eldest son...

Princess Red Moon blinked her eyes and said, "Xiao Bei, do you really think so?" motivation.)
