Xianggong farming

Chapter 266 Upstart
Lin Chen also knew that what Ji Xinmiao said was right, the Jiang family was an ordinary wealthy family, and their ancestors did not have much fame.Moreover, in the next three generations, no official has passed the fifth rank.But my family is a real official family, my grandfather is now the second rank of the household department right servant, and my father is also the fourth rank doctor of the Ministry of Industry.Not only that, but her own sister is also the seventh princess of the first rank.

Because I don't have a job, I can only take the provincial exam next year's autumn exam, and even if I pass, I'm just a candidate.Whether the next year's Chunwei can win or not is another matter.Therefore, it is not wrong for everyone to respectfully call him Young Master Lin.It's just that he just felt uncomfortable: "I don't have any fame, and you are not my family's servants. What do you call me young master? My cousin and you call me big brother, so you can call me second brother?"

Even if he said so, Ji Xinmiao didn't dare to be rash. With his background, he would be in the officialdom in the future.He has such a temper, and now he blurts out this name because of the environment. What if he develops in the future?Would he find it inappropriate?If you let the ignorant sister call you indiscriminately, something will happen.

So she glanced at Jiang Jialei as if asking for help, and finally Jiang Jialei took over the conversation: "Cousin, they are still two children, don't scare them. Come, this is a gift from me to you, please don't dislike it." .”

Seeing that Jiang Jialei gave the two younger sisters two taels of silver per person, Ji Xinmiao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Min'er, Yan'er, come quickly and thank Mr. Jiang again."

Seeing that Ji Xinmiao had finally changed the words of the two little girls, Lin Chen reached out and took out a few small silver coins from the armhole and said, "Here, this is a gift from my young master."

Ji Xinmin and Ji Xinyan didn't dare to take it, Ji Xinmiao signaled, and the two stepped forward to take the silver coins and saluted together: "Thank you two young masters for your reward!"

Seeing that Lin Chen's complexion improved, Ji Xinmiao put the two children in the hands of the two younger sisters before saying, "Go and play with joy."

Ji Xinyan took Huanhuan and hurried out with Ji Xinmin, she felt that being with these two young masters was too stressful.As soon as she went out, she exhaled: "Min'er, I was scared to death just now."

Ji Xinmin curled her lips: "What's so scary about this? It's not just a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth? What are you afraid of! Look at how he rewarded us, does he look like the nouveau riche that the eldest sister said? He is very proud!"

"Hahaha... Min'er, you actually said that Young Master Lin is a nouveau riche? Hahaha... Do you think he will turn his nose when he hears it? However, he is quite generous as a nouveau riche." The two The little girl carried the child under the tree and hurriedly counted the silver coins in her hand.

Ji Xinmin counted and counted: "Sister Yan, you said this nouveau riche is quite generous, and he actually gave me three silver coins. One plum blossom and one peach blossom, these two are lilac flowers, right? Ah, there are three or two. What about money and silver?"

Ji Xinyan also posed: "Well, mine is similar, but it seems that this is not a lilac but a rose. It should be two dollars, three or two dollars? Adding Mr. Jiang's, Miner, we will get rich!"

"Go, go, Sister Yan, isn't it just five taels of silver? How can it be considered a big fortune? It's not enough to make a small fortune!" Ji Xinmin was still thinking about the expression that Lin Chen paid them back just now.

At this time, An Qing came in with Hu Zi: "Auntie, why are you sitting outside? There is so much money, what are you doing with it?"

Seeing that it was the two of them, Ji Xinmin generously took out two small clove coins and stuffed them to Anqing and Huzi, saying: "I made a small fortune today, auntie, these two are considered as red envelopes for you!"

Huzi took the silver slot and immediately said, "Thank you, auntie."

An Qing felt it was inappropriate: "Auntie, I don't want it."

Ji Xinmin glared at him: "Why don't you? Don't you think it's too little?"

"No, no, auntie, I've grown up and don't eat snacks anymore." Eight-year-old An Qing hurriedly explained.

Ji Xinmin said fiercely: "Let me tell you, this is not for my aunt to buy snacks for you, but for you to buy paper and pens to practice calligraphy. I heard that you are going to school soon, so buy some paper and pens first Come back, practice calligraphy with Fourth Uncle Qi well, and save yourself from being laughed at in the school!"

An Qing immediately accepted it as soon as she heard it: "Thank you, auntie!"

Seeing that Ji Xinmin gave each of them a dime, Ji Xinyan also felt embarrassed, so she took out two one-cent silver dimes and handed them to Anqing and Huzi, saying, "These two are bought by Aunt Xinyan for Anyuan and Linger. For the headbands, you take them and give them to them when the time comes."

Qi Silang had only returned to Shangping Village a few days ago. At this time, he had been standing by the window looking at the children in the yard, and he could hear their conversation clearly from beginning to end.Especially Ji Xinmin's words surprised him, the girls in this sister-in-law's family are really different!
After lunch, Jiang Jialei and Lin Chen talked for a while about the things to pay attention to when transplanting cotton, and then they talked about the melon field: "Xinmiao, why did Brother Shiro say that the melon seedlings in the capital should be covered thicker?" Thatch?"

Ji Xinmiao explained softly: "When the pumpkins are just transplanted, the temperature should not be too low, especially the temperature in the capital is lower than here, so I asked my fourth brother to tell the melon seedlings to cover thickly for a longer time."

"Oh, so that's the case. I've already shipped the camellia oil cake you mentioned back to the capital from the south, and the ones in my cousin's village will arrive in two days. It's just that the thing is tightly packed. What should I do? Fertilize?" Lin Chen seemed to have grown up after a year, and in Ji Xinmiao's view, although he was still impulsive just now, when it comes to big things, he is really different.

Seeing him humbly asking for advice, Ji Xinmiao didn't hold back: "Actually, it's very easy, just take a few sledgehammers and put them on the Daping stone and hit them. Don't look at this thing being pressed so tightly, it can be broken with little effort. When it is broken into powder, put a handful under each pumpkin seedling that has turned its roots, and then grab the soil and bury it. When the weather warms up, they will meet water and turn into fertilizer. Use this fertilizer to plant The pumpkins produced, as long as there are no accidents this year, the melons are guaranteed to be big and sweet, so that you can earn a lot of money."

Lin Chen squinted: "You said that I earn a lot, but you also earn a lot? I said you have a share of this melon field."

Ji Xinmiao refused again: "No, Young Master Lin. It's not that I don't think it's hard to get money, but that I don't get rewarded for nothing. You should give it as I said, ten taels of silver for an acre of melon fields. You planted a total of 3000 taels of silver. mu melon field, give me [-] taels of silver, and I will already be rich."

"Hmph, you bastard, you don't get rewarded for nothing, are you afraid that this year's melon is worthless? Let me tell you, if the quality of this year's melon is really better than other people's, I will pay the price." It was okay last year. If you tell you to take it, you can take it!"
