Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 359 Tangled, a happy event (3)
When Zhang Xiaocao saw her adoptive father coaxing her like this, she burst out laughing. It's not true that she's only 13 years old, but she can't do such a thing!
Seeing her smile, Feng Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and then frowned again: "The emperor really loves Princess Xingyue, and he has already made up his mind about the candidate for the son-in-law. The princess is happy, that's why he did this, and the adoptive father really doesn't want to have emotional entanglements with Princess Xingyue, so, if you help the adoptive father, you also help her!"

Zhang Xiaocao saw the resolute face of her adoptive father, obviously she would not accept Feng Wu, but what should she do?To help or not to help?
Feng Wu's whole heart was left on her adoptive father. She could imagine how much harm her adoptive father's refusal would cause her every time. If she also helped her adoptive father this time, let's not talk about whether the friendship between the two would be good. Keep it, even if Feng Wu will do extreme things under stimulation, she dare not think about it!

Feng Yi understood her entanglement, and sighed: "Father knows that you are in trouble, but this matter must be resolved, and Princess Xingyue cannot be trapped any further!"

Zhang Xiaocao remained silent. After thinking about it for a long time, she felt that it was better for Feng Wu to let go early. She is still young, she is only 14 years old this year, and she will definitely meet a man better than her adoptive father in the future. Crying, although she knew it was fake crying, but the adoptive father was able to produce such a "crooked trick", which shows his embarrassment and determination. Feng Wu is destined to return home sad this time!

"Father, what do you want me to do?"

Hearing the words, Feng Yi knew that she had agreed, so he wiped pepper water on the corner of his eyes and shed so many tears, but it was quite embarrassing!

But even though the daughter agreed, he didn't feel at ease in the slightest. The daughter finally had a friend, but because of him as a adoptive father, he might lose even her friend in the future!

Suppressing the guilt in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "Father will find an opportunity to explain clearly to her, when she is sad, she will definitely go to you, just like this..."

After Zhang Xiaocao listened, she didn't say anything for a long time. She said to herself in her heart, if Feng Wu can hold on this time, but still refuses to give up, she will support her, help her, and let her be with her adoptive father. Dedicated to the adoptive father, if the adoptive father really misses it, he will regret it for the rest of his life!

Next, the entire Zhangjia Village became busy again, because the emperor promised not to confiscate the land of Zhangjia Village, and he could also grow cotton by himself, but the cotton was no longer sold to Lejia, but directly to the government. It will be higher than before, but the villagers are still very happy. After all, the land is their own. Even if the cotton price will fall, it will not be so low!

However, all of Zhang Xiaocao's land in Ganglou Village will be expropriated. The large area covers [-] mu and is located in the middle of the land expropriated in Ganglou Village. The emperor has no reason to leave it to her. She has nothing to do about it. We can only use the [-] mu of vacant medicine fields to grow cotton, and then run the thriving farms and stewed meat workshops, and it won't be too bad!

She felt even more sorry for the fact that the cotton in the field could no longer be sold to Le Ting. If Le Ting hadn't bought the [-] mu of land with money, she had made enough capital at once, and there would have been no [-] mu of land in the future. The matter with Xiao Shantou was originally said to be five years, but now it has only been two years. Although Le Ting has not lost money, she still feels that she has taken advantage of it!
Knowing her thoughts, Lin Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "Others will only feel that this advantage is not enough, but you are uneasy because you have taken advantage of it. Don't you really like making money, isn't that bad?"

Zhang Xiaocao stared and said: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. If it's not his own, he can't get it. If he gets it, he has to pay it back. I'm afraid the price of paying it back may not be affordable in the end!"

Lin Zhaoyuan thoughtfully, rubbed her head and said, "It's not something you want to take advantage of, besides, Le Ting didn't say anything, don't you still have Thirteen Fragrances to cooperate with, and then you can make up for it from here He's got some!"

Zhang Xiaocao thought about it: "This is a good idea. Write a letter to Le Ting later, ask his people to help, let Shen Nian choose the address to build a workshop in the south, and strive to make Thirteen Incense available this year!"

Lin Zhaoyuan nodded: "Leave this matter to me, I happen to have something to ask Le Ting!"

Zhang Xiaocao readily agreed.

That afternoon, Mu Hua came back. He hadn't seen him for nearly a month, and he looked a bit haggard, but he had a cheerful smile on his face, which made Zhang Xiaocao happy too!

"Did you pass the exam?"

After receiving the book bag sewn for Mu Hua, she asked expectantly.

"The list was released yesterday, and I'm on the list!"

Mu Hua took the wet towel handed over by grandma, wiped his face, and immediately became more energetic!
When Grandma Zhang heard this, she was very excited: "Okay, okay, okay, our ancestors accumulated virtues and made my grandson a scholar. This is a great joy!"

Zhang Xiaocao secretly laughed, if Mu Hua didn't work hard, it would be useless to accumulate virtues from his ancestors!

Seeing that Mu Hua was very tired and wanted to rest, Zhang Xiaocao hurriedly urged him to go to rest. Mu Hua was indeed a little tired, so he didn't refuse, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and then went to sleep on the bed!

Everyone in the village knew that Mu Hua was back, and they all came to visit. Grandma Zhang greeted them happily, but she talked about how Mu Hua had worked so hard, and she had already fallen asleep.

Zhang Xiaocao, who was serving tea and water at the side, listened amusedly. In fact, grandma wanted others to take the initiative to ask her how Mu Hua did in the exam, and then she would humbly tell the news about Mu Hua's exam, so as to satisfy her inner desire. Pride and pride, it’s like a child in a previous life who got better grades in an exam. When some neighbors and relatives with better relationships chat with each other, they will always implicitly compare their children’s exam results!
Seeing that Grandma Zhang was always smiling, everyone knew that Mu Hua should have won the prize of the scholar, so they no longer tried to be careful, and asked with a smile: "Look, my aunt is happy, our Mu Hua must have won the prize!"

When Grandma Zhang heard this, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, but she said modestly, "It's because of his luck, otherwise there are so many people who take the talent test, and only a few can get it. How can he pass the test?"

Everyone was very envious when they heard it. They knew that Grandma Zhang was showing off secretly, but no one would find it disgusting. If their child was selected as a scholar, the whole village would have known about it!
Moreover, Mu Hua's being selected as a scholar is not only a happy event for him alone, but also a happy event for the entire Zhang family. This means that maybe in the near future, their Zhang family can produce a high-ranking official, which is really a great joy for the ancestors , They have a bright face when they go out, don't they?

Zhang Xiaocao interjected: "Life is much better now than before, and I have spare money to send my children to study. Maybe in two years, our Zhang Family Village will have a few more scholars!"

These words made everyone's hearts full of enthusiasm, their eyes shone with hope, and they looked at Zhang Xiaocao with more and more gratitude. Thanks to her, everyone can plant cotton, and they can continue to plant in the future. Now every family has spare money Well, many families have sent their school-age children to schools in the town this year, and they all hope that their children will be able to succeed in a few years and strive to be admitted to fame. No matter how hard they are, it is worth it!
