Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 226

Jingxian nodded, "Isn't that what you said? We came from hard times, and we are busy enough to just think about how to live every day. How can they be like them, who have nothing to do all day long, and they will think about people? One by one On the surface, they are shy and timid, knowing the etiquette, but behind the scenes, they are intriguing and secretly plotting. It's not that I look down on them, the girls in our village are much better than them."

When Jinghan heard this, her face turned cold, "What's going on?"

Jingya and the others also leaned over, and Jingya said, "Let me tell the story. It was the flower viewing feast, which was held in a garden of a Hou family in Dongping. There was a big lake in that garden, and everyone Those who took a boat tour on the lake, never thought that someone would push Jingxian down the lake when she saw that Jingxian was getting angry. How could Jingxian be a fuel-efficient lamp in our family? He also dragged that person into the water. If the chicken is not enough, the rice will be eaten, and the girl can't drink water, so she almost drowned."

Speaking of this, the faces of several women are not very good.Jingxian was their younger sister, but she was almost killed by someone.Fortunately, Jingxian followed Jinghan all day long, and the water quality was first-class when going up the mountain and down the river, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"After that incident, Mingyu was furious and cleaned up the girl's father. He also let out the word that if any family dares to hold such a banquet again within three years, just wait and see." Jingxian smiled and said the final result.

Jinghan glared at Jingxian, "Are you still laughing? If someone pushes you, you can fall into the lake? Presumably you live in the capital, and you have almost lost your kung fu? Otherwise, it can only be her If you fall, it's none of your business. From tomorrow, get up in the morning to practice." Jinghan also knows that Jingxian has a lot to learn now, and there must be some things that she can't take care of.But in any case, kung fu cannot be lost.

"Second Sister, aren't you too cruel? I'm busy every day." Jingxian said shamelessly.

"No matter how busy you are, getting up early in the morning to practice is a must. Even if you are married, it's the same, with Mingyu and me. Your brother-in-law and I always get up in the morning to fight boxing or something, that is, we are pregnant with Qingyuan It was delayed until the time of confinement, but after the child is full moon, we will continue." Jinghan has never stopped exercising, otherwise she is so busy, how can her body bear it.

The few women present all looked at Jing Han with admiration, but they didn't expect Jing Han to marry someone, so she didn't even lose her kung fu. "Second sister, you are really good. You have to be busy with so many things, but you can still persist in practicing martial arts."

Jingya and Jingwan hurriedly changed the subject, they are not good at this. "By the way, Jinghan, this time you come to the capital, you can just meet some merchants. They want to sell that woolen fabric in the south, and they have been grinding here for a long time, but I dare not promise them. Your side How much cloth can be produced, I have no idea."

Jingya's shop is now known to everyone in the capital.There are quite a few merchants who want to buy goods from here, and then bring them back to the south to sell, but Jingya just doesn't say anything, and they can't do anything about it.Jingya also understood that she should take advantage of this momentum to expand the business.But she couldn't make up her mind, so she said that Jinghan could come soon, and she could talk to Jinghan at that time.

"Elder sister, my elder brother-in-law is an official in the court, you are not negotiating business with others, are you?" Jing Han glanced at Jing Ya.

"Do you think I'm stupid? It's okay to run a business in public. If people know about it, it's okay? The Yue family is in this business, and there are plenty of capable people. My father-in-law has sent several big stewards. How can they be used?" Let me come forward. This time, I just said that the owner of Zhifang happens to come to the capital, and I will introduce you when the time comes." Jingya gave Jinghan a white look, she has been fooling around all these years, and she can't do anything like this clear?
Only then did Jinghan feel relieved, and said with a smile, "It's not too bad. Cultivate a few more capable managers, and let them come forward if there is something to do. Okay, I will talk to Changshun and Chang'an about this matter, and let them both Go see those merchants. However, it is estimated that only about [-] horses can be put out this year, and you must keep more here."

"That's good. I'm afraid that if you give them too much, I won't have any here. You have to know, this is not my shop alone. Sister-in-law, Jing Wan, and Jing Xian all have members in it." Our pocket money in the capital is all pointed at this shop. In this capital, that is to say, it sounds good, and spending money is like flowing water. If there is no income, point to your brother-in-law’s salary, Why don't the whole family drink the northwest wind?" Jingya complained.

Xiuyun and Jingwan next to each other quickly nodded, "Isn't it? It's really distressing to spend this money. But there's no other way. If you don't spend money, do you eat? Do you wear clothes? Even firewood, You have to spend money to buy it too." Jing Wan said with some pain. "I really miss the days when I was at home. I went to the field to pick what I ate, and I had enough firewood for the fire. How is it like now?"

Jinghan resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, Jingwan, can you use your brains? Last year, the four of you could earn at least ten dollars just for woolen fabrics and woolen yarn." Ten thousand taels? Not to mention there is a clothing store. So much money, what do you do with it? There is plenty of land around the capital, let Mingyu help you buy a Zhuangzi, and then It’s just a matter of finding someone to take care of it. This year, not only will the mansion have all the food and supplies, but also a lot of leftovers. And the things that come out of my own farm are more assured than those bought.” Jinghan said Speechless, the money I earned last year has already bought a ranch, and she plans to start a farm this year.

Jingya and the others looked at each other, a little stunned, and then Jingxian was the first to react, and clapped her hands, "Let me tell you, the second sister must have a good idea when she comes. Look, how easy it is to solve it?" "

Xiuyun and Jingya also patted their foreheads, "Isn't it? Why didn't we think about this? Buying a Zhuangzi can be regarded as an asset. In addition, it can also provide food for the house, isn't it? Kill two birds with one stone? Why don't we have Jinghan's brain?"

Jinghan snorted, "You don't have that kind of brain. You came to the capital and forgot that you came from a farming family. If our father had money, he would definitely buy the land."

In fact, this is not to blame for Jingya and the others. When Jingya and Jingwan were at home, they didn't do much farm work, they just helped out during spring plowing and autumn harvest.Later, when the family had staff, they didn't have to do these things.Xiuyun's father is a teacher, and she is a person who doesn't even know how to do farm work.Among these few, Jingxian was considered to have worked, but she didn't have a family, and she married a prince, so she didn't have to worry about these at all.So these few people didn't think about it at all.

"Second Sister, can you not be angry? We really forgot our roots." Jing Wan took Jing Han's hand and said carefully.

"Jingwan, I'm not angry. I just think that if things go on like this, will our children understand the hardships we suffered at the beginning? It's almost as if they were soaked in a honey pot when they were born. In the future, they will Will you understand how food is grown?" Jinghan expressed her worries.

"The Xu family has just come out of the village to our generation. It is not a famous family, let alone a family. There is still a long way to go. Taking agriculture as the foundation is not only about the country, but also about the Home. Only when you have the land in your hands is the foundation. Farming, studying and passing on family history is not just empty words, you have to do it. Buy some land, plow in spring and harvest in autumn, and take the children to see it. Let the children I also feel that it is a very happy thing to eat the vegetables and food that I planted with my own hands." Jinghan smiled, and she thought of her past days on the mountain.

"Yes, that's the way to do it. We are originally farmers, why should we be afraid of people saying us? What's wrong with the farmers, if there are no hard-working farmers, those high-ranking officials would still starve to death?" Jingya was the first to agree. Jinghan's words, but in that tone, there is also a hint of bitterness.Thinking back to the days in the capital, there were also some bitterness that could not be understood by outsiders.

"Yes, it should be like this. In the past, we were a little bit confused. We thought that enjoying flowers and tea with those officials' wives would be accepted by them slowly, but they still said that we were mud legs behind our backs. Parents? Simply ignore those people and live our own lives, as long as we live comfortably. We have to discuss this matter carefully, buying land is a big matter, and we have to think about it slowly." Jing Wan echoed .

Jing Han also understood in her heart that Wen Han and Peng Cheng had no roots in the capital, but being able to be by the emperor's side was something that many people envied.Coupled with the marriage between Jingxian and Mingyu, people in the capital still don't know what is going on behind the scenes.Thinking about Jingya and the others' life in the capital, it's not easy, is it?
Besides, in this capital city, all kinds of officials are like crucian carp crossing the river.To put it bluntly, throwing a brick casually on the street can hit several fifth-rank officials, let alone sixth-rank and seventh-rank officials.Wenhan and Pengcheng are both in the capital, but they can't be seen at all.What about Jingya and Xiuyun?Even if they really went to some banquet, no one would take them seriously.

Even Jingxian, didn't someone dare to push her into the water?Isn't it because the Xu family is just a farming family with no background?

Jinghan secretly sighed in her heart, when the emperor released Zixuan to be an official, the family members were still a little bit puzzled.But now it seems that being outside may not be as good as being inside the capital.At least in Zhendong County, Zixuan is the boss, and no one dares to disrespect him.Similarly, no one dared to give Jing Han a sigh of relief.

"I've already bought a ranch, and I want to start another ranch this fall. When you are free, come to my place. Let you experience the feeling of seeing cattle and sheep under the wind." Jinghan couldn't help I would like to talk about these things again, so I changed the subject.
