farmer's little girl

Chapter 135 Extra Story 12 After 2
Bringing up this matter, let's talk about the past again.

Lu Guangzhi got married late. After he passed the examination of scholar, Mei said he wanted to marry him.It's just that Lu Guangzhi focused on his studies at the beginning, and his family didn't want to delay his career, so they put this matter on hold for now.

Later, under the recommendation of Qin Xiucai, Lu Guangzhi paid homage to his former classmate Liu Juren, who is now a professor at Dongchang Fufu School.

This Liu Juren is a man of great knowledge, but it is a pity that he was born at an untimely time. He lamented the incompetence and incompetence of the dark officialdom, so he gave up taking the exam and lived in a corner to teach and educate people.Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and worked hard to govern. Unfortunately, he was already over half a hundred years old at this time, and he had already given up his ambitions when he was young.

Lu Guangzhi is a good embryo, not only hardworking, but also has no character.As a professor of the government school, Liu Juren never accepted students, but he made an exception and accepted him as a student.He even wanted to betroth his youngest daughter, Liu Rong, to him because of his great admiration for his disciple.

However, Lu Guangzhi was just a scholar at that time, and he felt that he was not worthy of the daughter of the husband's family because of his own conditions, so he politely refused.It wasn't until three years later that he won the election, and saw that the youngest daughter of the husband's family was not yet married, so he took the initiative to propose marriage.

It was a match made in heaven, a happy tie.

Liu Rong's biological father was Juren, and under his influence, he was not only proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also literate and hyphenated characters.After the two got married, the husband sang and the wife followed, and the relationship was very harmonious.

Afterwards, Lu Guangzhi was named on the Gold List, and Liu Rong came to the capital with her husband. The couple had hardly blushed for so many years, and they didn't know what went wrong. Send a letter to complain.

When Lu Guangzhi received a letter from his family that he wanted to come to the capital, he thought it was because he wrote letters to his family repeatedly, and finally persuaded his family, but he didn't know that this was not the case at all.

"No matter what, our family doesn't have the rule of taking concubines. I'm going to Rong'er on this matter!" Mei said.

Mei Zhuangyi comforted: "Elder Sister, don't think too much, anyway, we have already come to Beijing, what's going on, ask Boy Zhi later, I believe he is not a reckless person."

May could only nod.

Afterwards, the few chatted casually for a few more words before going back to their cabins.

Zhou Jin and Lu Jiaoyue walked out together, seeing his daughter-in-law's face full of worries, Zhou Jin couldn't help persuading him: "Okay, don't think too much, I understand Zhi'er's disposition, although he has changed a little since he came to Beijing, But he also has his own persistence, and he has never been an ungrateful person, so there must be something going on." After Lu Guangzhi entered Beijing, Zhou Jin had met him twice, so he could see Lu Guangzhi more thoroughly than others.

Lu Jiaoyue nodded, "I thought so too, but what happened to make him do such a thing?"

Zhou Jin didn't know what was going on, so he could only remain silent.

Lu Jiaoyue frowned for a while, then raised her eyes to look at her husband.

Compared with more than ten years ago, Zhou Jin, who has reached middle age, appears to be more stable. If Mei Zhuangyi is unrestrained and upright, he is as stable as Mount Tai, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease when they see him.

It's true, Zhou Jin has been protecting Lu Jiaoyue for more than ten years since they got married, doting on her and letting her go.The man is too mature, he spoiled Lu Jiaoyue more and more like a little girl.

No matter how busy he is, Zhou Jin never neglects his wife. Every year, he finds time to stay at home for several months or even half a year, just to spend time with his wife and children.Not to mention taking concubines, after Zhou Jin became rich, he went out to do business all the year round, encountered various situations, and there were not a few people who gave him concubines and maidservants, but he never got involved in this aspect. things.

Many people whispered small things in Lu Jiaoyue's ear, such as how many concubines married after so-and-so became rich, and how many concubines so-and-so made outside.Of course, when others say this, it cannot be said to be malicious, but just to alert her, but Lu Jiaoyue never took it to heart.It's not that she hasn't thought about this matter, but when she thinks about it, if she can't even trust her husband, who can she trust in this world?

Of course, occasionally I couldn't help but think wildly, Lu Jiaoyue secretly thought about all the possibilities in her heart, and she didn't think her husband would betray her.Even if she is betrayed, she is not afraid. She has sons and daughters, parents, brothers, and uncles and aunts. In the worst case, she will go back to her mother's house. She doesn't believe that her family will ignore her.

And she was no longer the same her in her previous life, she was not the one who would only complain about others, feel sorry for herself, and even go so far as to beat herself to death.In addition to her husband, there are many people in her life. Maybe Zhou Jin has a second heart, and she will be sad, and she will not be able to adjust for a long time, but she believes that she will be fine, and she will definitely be.

But Lu Jiaoyue had never said this before Zhou Jin, it was once when the two of them talked about Qi Chunshang asking for another concubine, she accidentally slipped her mouth and replaced herself as Qi Chunshang's original partner, saying Some 'rebellious' words.

One accidentally slipped the tongue and took advantage of the situation to test it out. The other didn't say anything after listening to it, but grabbed the other and spanked her ass. After the spanking, the two rolled together again.

There have been many such small waves in the past ten years, but they all disappeared in the blink of an eye just like the spring breeze wrinkled the water in the pool, and did not have any impact on the love between the two.Therefore, there are always many small twists and turns in a person's life. As long as the two hearts are together, as long as they can respect and love themselves, they will not be afraid of anything.

After worrying about Lu Guangzhi, Lu Jiaoyue was worried about her daughter again, and Diandian did not come out with the two of them, probably knowing that she left her grandmother, and her mother would talk about her again.The current father is no longer the one who had no bottom line and indulged himself back then. The current father only listens to his mother, so Diandian does not think that his father can save himself.

"You said that girl was spoiled by our family. A girl runs around wearing men's clothes all day long, doing business with people. She doesn't look like a big girl at all. She is a little uncle. Teach her to fight. What kind of abacus has taught our daughter to look like this."

Isn't it? !

Diandian has been influenced by her father and uncle since she was a child, and she has shown great interest in doing business since she was very young.In particular, Mei Zhuangyi deliberately led her to this place. He taught her to abacus at the age of five, and when she was eight years old, she began to do abacus. Even Mei Zhuangyi felt inferior.

She has learned a little bit of abacus, but she is not satisfied with it. She clings to Mei Zhuangyi and Zhou Jin all day long, and asks them to take her out to see the world.Mei Zhuangyi and Wang Yao had three sons in succession, but they didn't have a daughter. They almost treated Diandian as their own daughter.Not to mention Zhou Jin, at that time Zhou Jin was still a father who had no bottom line to indulge his daughter.

In fact, Zhou Jin and his wife didn't take this matter to heart. When they realized it, Diandian had already been "taught" by Mei Zhuangyi.

Of course, apart from doing business, which made the couple quite critical, Diandian made them very proud of other aspects.Diandian is smart, loves to learn and is willing to learn. She can do what her daughter's family can do, and she can do what her daughter's family can't do.

Well, after all this, it comes to her business.

However, excluding gender, Diandian is very talented in business, not only thoughtful, but also sharp-eyed, almost to the point where Mei Zhuangyi is astonishingly talented.

At that time, Zhou Jin and Mei Zhuangyi made their fortunes by relying on the grain business. Later, they got involved in more and more fields, and other places made too much money. It seemed that the grain business was a bit shabby. Although it was not enough to give up, But because it involves too much, I am not very willing to develop it.

But when Diandian wanted to try a business, Mei Zhuangyi gave her the best food business out of a safe mind.This is reselling from north to south. As long as there is a source of goods to sell, there is almost no need to worry about losing money. Who knows that not only is there no loss, but the business has also become a "flower".

The northwest is close to the border, where the land is barren, the folk customs are tough, and there is no waterway. This is the place that businessmen are least willing to set foot in, but Diandian chooses to set his development direction in that place.This made Mei Zhuangyi and Zhou Jin very incomprehensible, but spoiling children, anyway, this business is a costless business. With their current strength, even if the food is in their hands, there are many ways to sell it.

It was very difficult at first, either they were robbed, or the profits were too meager, almost reaching the point where they could not make ends meet.But Diandian did not give up, and still persisted, slowly occupying the grain market in the Northwest to the extent of encroaching on whales.Just when Mei Zhuangyi and Zhou Jin couldn't help but want to persuade her not to be so stubborn, there was really no money to be made in this place where nothing shit happened, then the imperial court issued a decree.

This is the "opening Chinese method" that attracted many salt merchants in the future, using salt to attract tokens, encouraging merchants to transport grain to the border, alleviating the problem of food shortage at the border, and by the way, it can also solve the manpower consumed by the imperial court to travel long distances to transport military grain to the border physical resources.

This is the New Deal launched by the new emperor.

As soon as this policy came out, everyone in the world was shocked.

And Qian Fengxing is undoubtedly a pioneer. You must know that everything is fast and late. Qian Fengxing, which occupies the entire Northwest grain market, has undoubtedly become a behemoth that any grain merchant and salt merchant who wants to transport grain to the border must surpass. .

Because Qian Fengxing took the lead in responding to the decree, the new emperor was very happy, so he designated Qian Fengxing as an imperial merchant, and gave Qian Fengxing two guidelines.You must know that the imperial court only released ten guideline salts to enrich the border military food reserves.Each class of salt is quoted at 20 yuan, and each bag of salt is 300 catties. Those who have not entered the class have no right to operate the salt industry, which is commonly known as "woben".Based on these two guidelines alone, Qian Fengxing is enough to look down on many commercial firms.

And the one who gave Qian Fengxing the title of Imperial Merchant, and even gained a cornucopia, was nothing more than a bratty girl who was not yet fourteen.

However, only the insiders of Qian Fengxing knew about this matter. In the eyes of outsiders, Qian Fengxing was lucky.

Because this matter is too important, after Mei Zhuangyi and Zhou Jin discussed it, she did not tell her family members, so Lu Jiaoyue didn't know that her daughter who seemed to her to be "running wild" actually did such a big thing for her family. one thing.

"Okay, our daughter is our sweetheart. Didn't mother say that we don't have to worry about marrying. You don't know at home. There are many people who want to marry our daughter outside, but Zhuang Yi and I both look at those people." No, so I didn't tell you." Zhou Jin said.

Lu Jiaoyue was very surprised: "Really? Then tell me what kind of family they are. You and my little uncle are both men. How do you understand this kind of marriage? It's me, a mother, who worries about the children." stop."

Zhou Jin was silent, but in front of his wife, he couldn't say that those people didn't have any good ideas.

In his mind, his daughter deserves to be matched by an upright person, not those who just want to beat him about his family business.

Because it was too complicated, and he didn't want his wife to worry about it, Zhou Jin could only keep it simple, without mentioning the twists and turns. When my son was young, he got a lot of maids in the room. This one looks crooked, and that one is too short to be as tall as our daughter.

Lu Jiaoyue kept yelling, scolding those people who want to eat swan meat, what kind of people are they.

The couple walked towards the cabin while talking, indescribably harmonious and beautiful.

When everyone arrived at the pier, people from the Lu Mansion had already been waiting here.

However, Lu Guangzhi was not there. After the housekeeper's explanation, everyone knew that Lu Guangzhi was temporarily recruited into the palace by the Holy Majesty.

The sky and the earth are big, nothing is as big as this, so people naturally won't pick anything.Especially from their point of view, they are all a family, so there is no need to be so cautious.

All the way into the city in a carriage, everything in the capital is naturally not comparable to other places.

Not only are the houses well built, but the roads are straight, wide and level, and there is no problem with five or six carriages running side by side.

This was the first time in Lu Jiaoyue's life that she came to the capital, seeing the familiar scenes on the street, she couldn't help feeling dazed.

Zhou Jin thought this was the first time for his wife to visit, so he couldn't help saying: "When we settle down, I'll take you out for a walk."

Lu Jiaoyue smiled sweetly and nodded: "Okay."

Located in the south of the city, Zhou Mansion is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

Back then when Lu Guangzhi won the No. [-] prize, although the second wife and his wife couldn't spare time to go to Beijing, they asked Mei Zhuangyi and Zhou Jin to bring money to Lu Guangzhi.Lu Guangzhi entered the Hanlin Academy and was going to stay in Beijing for three years, so he couldn't be allowed to rent a house all the time.

At that time, Erfangjia’s business was not as big as it is now, and they miscalculated the housing prices in the capital, so they only gave 500 taels, thinking about buying a small house and forgetting about it.But Mei Zhuangyi and Zhou Jin were used to traveling from south to north, knowing that living in the capital is not easy, so they each added another 1000 taels to help Lu Guangzhi buy this house.

Firstly, it was a congratulation, and secondly, it was for Lu Guangzhi's future plans.

When Lu Guangzhi was in Beijing, his wife and children would definitely come, especially those who were officials, no matter how big or small, the family would always buy a few servants.Besides, family members will inevitably come to Beijing to visit. Buying a small house once they enter is only enough for their family to live in. If other people come to live, it is better to sell it bigger and more spacious.

So this trip everyone has a place to live, and there is no need to go outside to stay in a hotel.

As soon as he entered the door, before he settled down, Mei hurriedly pulled his daughter-in-law Liu Rong into the house and asked her what was going on.

Liu Rong has a melon-shaped face, phoenix eyes, slender figure, and a bookish air all over her body. At first glance, she looks like a well-educated lady.

It is also true that for so many years, Liu Rong has been diligent and thrifty in managing the family. No matter before or after Lu Guangzhi's fortune, he always treats people with kindness and kindness as before. No one can find a typo.Not to mention that some women, once their husbands gain power, they become arrogant and domineering, and they can be called a virtuous housemate.

In particular, Lu Guangzhi was busy every day, and she was the one who came in contact with her in-laws' family mostly.

Therefore, even though Mei Shi and Lu Jiaoyue didn't meet her much, they knew that she was a safe person, otherwise they wouldn't have written to her to complain this time, so Mei Shi ran over in such a hurry.Because she knew that if there were no real difficulties, her daughter-in-law would never lose her composure like this.

Seeing her mother-in-law caring so much about her, Liu Rong burst into tears.
