Reborn I became the pet of the farm group

Chapter 399

Ji Qingyue nodded: "I'll buy half a bucket this time, and I'll buy some ice cubes by the way."

There is no one in charge of the family's purchases. In the past, Ji Qingyue went to the town to buy whatever the family needed.

But now Ji Chenyuan is in charge of affairs at home, and Ji Qingyue is getting older, so it's hard for her to go out and take care of business matters.

Therefore, the family also needs to find a person who is responsible for purchasing.

"Ma'am Bai, do you think which long-term worker in the family is more suitable to do the shopping, and we don't need to go out for a trip for what the family needs in the future."

"If the girl believes in the eyes of the old slave, then the old slave will speak boldly."

"There is no need to find a long-term worker at home. I think Brother Fan Yong is good. He is honest, has some strength, and is also loyal. Purchasing is the most lucrative job, and it is always a bit uneasy to put it on outsiders."

"Yes, Brother Sun is indeed suitable, then I'll go out and tell Brother Sun."

"No, girl, I'll just talk to Brother Fan Yong."

Aunt Bai went out of the kitchen and went to find Sun Fanyong to buy food. Sun Fanyong heard that it was Ji Qingyue's order, and asked what he needed to buy. Without saying a word, he drove the carriage and went to the town.

As soon as Sun Fanyong left, the milk tea in Ji Qingyue's pot had just been boiled, and Ji Chenyuan came back with Han Jiang.

"Father, how's it going?" Ji Qingyue offered a cup of tea, and when Ji Chenyuan drank it, she couldn't wait to ask.

Ji Chenyuan took a breath, knowing that Ji Qingyue was anxious, so he didn't delay, and quickly told what he knew:

"The county magistrate promised to give us justice, and it happened that the people above came down to check our achievements. If the county magistrate wanted to be promoted, he would not let go of this opportunity. Besides, we have high-yield rice seeds in our hands, so it won't be long. People from above will come and take the food away.”

"Ninny, you won't be angry, right?" Ji Chenyuan said this, looking at Ji Qingyue with some guilt.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that the review is now every three years, and officials from above will usually come down to check, but the scope of the check is too wide, and they may not necessarily come to them.

So Ji Chenyuan went to the county with peace of mind, took the post, and met the county magistrate at that time.

Because the county magistrate was optimistic about Ji Yiran, and he was already familiar with the county magistrate, the county magistrate sent the yamen servant to go with him to Xinghua Village to resolve the matter without thinking too much.

But when he came back from Xinghua Village, he was called into the room by the county magistrate, explaining that someone from above would come down to check in a few days.

Generally, wealthy households will become representatives, as in previous years.

It's just that this year is a little different. Ji's family is not an ordinary rich family, and they still have high-yield rice seeds in their hands.

This incident has gone crazy in the entire county, and everyone in the villages near Xinghua Village knows that the family of the scholar Ji's family in Xinghua Village has a high-yield rice seed, and the yield per mu is at least double that of ordinary rice seeds. .

Because of Ji Chenyuan's status, the county magistrate was embarrassed to ask him directly to the yamen for questioning.

But now that Ji Chenyuan has something to do, the county magistrate also wanted to do him a favor, so he told him about it. Of course, he also wanted to get benefits from Ji's family.

However, considering Ji Chenyuan's status, he didn't dare to speak out, and only wanted to make friends with Ji's family, so he could always get some benefits.

"Father, how many rice seeds will the people from the imperial court take away from us?" Ji Qingyue frowned slightly.

She felt that if she was the imperial court, she would definitely not be polite.

Sure enough, Ji Chenyuan said: "Normally there won't be too much left, at most our family will have enough."

"Then what about the rice seeds we promised to sell to those people?"

None of the rice seeds were taken away, and the deposits were still collected for what the family gave to those people.

I thought that no matter how fast the news spread, the county magistrate had to report the news, and I don't know how long it would take to get the news. Taking advantage of this time, she would be able to sell a crop of grain seeds.

Even after the fact, the court couldn't find a reason to punish them. After all, the grains belonged to their family, and they had the final say on how to sell them.

Unfortunately, this time the abacus seems to be wrong.

Ji Qingyue had a headache. She felt that after the imperial court took away the grain seeds, their house would be surrounded.

Ji Chenyuan can think about it: "Since the grain seeds are gone this year, let's wait for next year. Didn't you say that rice can be planted twice a year in the Jiangnan area? Let's try this year."

"That's all it takes."

"I just hope that the officials above are all thinking of the common people. If our family suffers a small loss, we are afraid of meeting some unreasonable people." Ji Qingyue smiled wryly.

Ji Chenyuan's eyes were dark and he didn't speak, but he had already made up his mind that no matter who came, he couldn't let his children get hurt.

"Father, let's have dinner first, it's been hard for you to travel this morning."

"Well, let's eat first."

Ji Qingyue hurriedly entered the kitchen, and personally cooked meals for Ji Chenyuan, and several dishes were Ji Chenyuan's favorite.

After running for a while, Ji Chenyuan was also hungry, so he ate two big bowls of rice unceremoniously.

After Ji Chenyuan took a nap at noon, he continued to take Han Jiang to the county town and continued to follow up on the results of the county government.

In the afternoon, Ji Qingyue planned to settle the accounts and look at the remaining money at home. Since the grain seeds could no longer be sold, she had to find another job to make money.

Before the abacus could make a loud noise, voices came from outside the door.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Deng came over with Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Ji, the third aunt of Mrs. Ji's family.

"Is Qingyue busy? If you're not busy, let's come and chat with you." Ji Zhou's words couldn't be held back at all, and Ji Qingyue had vaguely heard them mention rice seeds just now.

Naturally, they won't reject them now, Ji Qingyue is also very gossip.

"Auntie in the lobby, uncle and aunt in the lobby, and uncle and aunt in the third hall, come and sit down."

"Lingge, serve some milk tea and cheese."

Mrs. Ji Zhou walked to the edge of the kang and sat down, smiled and waved his hands and said, "We'll just come and chat a few words, no need to say hello."

Ji Qingyue didn't talk too much about etiquette, but asked curiously: "Auntie in the lobby, what do you know, tell me quickly."

"Qingyue, I heard that your family's grain seeds in Xinghua Village were robbed by those villagers this time?" Ji Zhou didn't answer immediately, but asked curiously about the rumors in the past two days.

Ji Qingyue didn't expect that what happened just now would spread throughout the village.

"How did you know, uncle in the hall? My family only found out about this yesterday, and my father just asked the people from the yamen to arrest him this morning."

"It's just a coincidence that we know this news. No, Xiaoliang, the daughter-in-law of your third uncle and aunt, is from Xinghua Village."

When Ji Qingyue heard it, it was inside information.

She was not in a hurry to ask, Ji Zhou really came slowly.

"Ms. Xiao Liang just returned to her natal home the day before yesterday, and only then did she realize that there were suddenly a lot of rice seeds in her natal home."

"Although the people in Xinghua Village want to hide this matter, but this matter is so big that they can't hide it."
