Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 120: A Match Made in Heaven (5)
Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched the bracelet on her wrist, and now this is the only memory left by her mother.

Seeing her thinking about others again, Luo Jinxing quickly diverted her attention, saying: "By the way, Xianglai, I have always been curious, what did your mother do in the past? How could there be such precious jewelry!"

Xianglai looked down at the bracelet, and said: "I only know that mother's family background was good in the past, I don't know what the grandma's family does...Why, is this bracelet quite expensive?"

Luo Jinxing said: "I see that your bracelet seems to be carved out of top-quality giant clams. A single base material is extremely precious. With coral and gemstones as accessories, this bracelet can be said to be invaluable. Such precious jewelry, even Whether your enemy Xu Zongde's wife can afford to wear it is up to you."

After hearing what he said, Xianglai was really not calm, she didn't care how expensive the bracelet was, what puzzled her most was the origin of her mother.According to Luo Jinxing, judging from the bracelet alone, his mother's background is likely to be higher than Xu Zongde's, so she would not even have the guts to avenge her father, and from what she said before she died, this bracelet seems to be Father gave it to her, but father was sold by grandpa since she was a child. Even if I got some gains from wandering outside, I would never be able to buy such things for mother, right?In other words, if Dad had the ability to afford the bracelet, would he be beaten to death for a few acres of land?Could it be, could it be that he... stole it, so he and his mother hid back to this small mountain village and dared not go out for the rest of their lives?
Thinking of this, Xianglai shook her head suddenly, thinking how could a daughter think about her parents like this, seeing how useless her mother and second aunt are, and the honesty of uncle and Dachang, father will never be a gangster!

But the more this happened, the more Xianglai couldn't figure out where the bracelet came from, and always felt that there were all kinds of inexplicable things hidden behind the dead parents.

Seeing her puzzled look, Luo Jinxing said, "If you really want to know your mother's family background, why not tell me her name, I will try to get someone to help you find out, maybe you can find your mother's relatives. "

When he asked this question, Xianglai became even more ashamed, lowered her head and said: "But, but... I don't know what my mother's maiden name is..."

Luo Jinxing was taken aback for a moment. This was the first time he had heard that his daughter didn't know her mother's name. After all, Xianglai was not a child of three or two years old.

But there must be a reason for everything. He is not a troublesome person who likes to get to the bottom of things and dig people's privacy. A distinguished family of her name."

Xianglai said, "My mother's surname is Qiao."

"The surname is Qiao..." Luo Jinxing murmured in a low voice: "The surname Qiao doesn't seem to have any well-known family or officials in Beiliao..."

Xianglai added another sentence timidly, saying: "Well... I, I'm not sure if this is my mother's real surname, she, she might change her name or not!"

Luo Jinxing thought about it for a while, and felt that what she said was also reasonable. If Xianglai's mother is really a person with a lot of background, it is not impossible to live in seclusion in a small mountain village and change her name.

But he still said: "Is this...not necessarily, maybe my knowledge is superficial. I have never heard of a famous family with the surname Qiao in Beiliao. Let me help you find out."

Xianglai nodded and said, "Well, then I'll be more careful!"

Luo Jinxing smiled and said: "There is no need to thank you, as long as it can withstand the anger after drinking."

Hearing the words, Xianglai thought of that incident again, and glared at him bitterly, thinking that it was really cheap for you, otherwise I would have to ask you, it’s fine for others to lie, why do you still get along with them and ruin your reputation .

Her eyes were bright and clear, Luo Jinxing was very comfortable being stared at by her, and smiled gently: "Okay, the seats in the room have been removed, it's too cold at night, let's go back."

The two walked towards the courtyard together.

Just as Luo Jinxing said, what I saw in Xianglai’s farm this autumn was full of vitality. After the black sheep left by Xu Zongde were cleared out, no one picked them up secretly. With a long brain, comparing Xianglai with the former owner, I know that Xianglai is tolerant and kind. Everyone praises Xianglai, eats enough, wears warm clothes, and naturally has strength to work. I really regard this farm as my own home. Same, everywhere you go, you see people smiling.

Before Xianglai's games were all over, he returned to Beijing and went to Anguang.

They went to Songning and Funing counties in secret, and An Guang also pretended to be the manager of a rich family, which fit his identity in Xianglai's heart.

After he saw Luo Jinxing, he told what the King of Beiliao wanted. The King of Beiliao thought that his son was not young, and he should have someone to take care of him. Put it aside, there is not much left and right. She eats in one bite, the majestic king of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and will not change what he says.

Half of Luo Jinxing's heart has already been placed on Xianglai, and he would not marry someone else even if he was beaten to death. When he thought of having a woman different from Xianglai by his side, he felt scared, but he knew that hiding was not an option. Helpless, he could only bid farewell to Xianglai and leave Songning again, to go back to resolve the crisis of marriage.

Although Xianglai knew that he was gone, and that he might be someone else's husband-in-law when they saw each other again, she felt that Luo Jinxing and Luo Jinxing hadn't reached the point where they were not married unless they were Iraqi or if they were not kings, and they hadn't even talked about this topic. , so he could only hide the regret in his heart and send this master away again, and then get busy with his own affairs.

After Luo Jin left, the autumn harvest was coming to an end, and Guifang and the stewards of the various villages could take care of the odds and ends. Xianglai spared no effort to integrate all her industries, and came up with an industrial chain operation.

The grain produced in the farm was not bought to the big grain merchants, but the rice was divided into good and bad. waste.She took some people around the livestock markets in various counties, looking for some thin and disease-free cattle and horses to raise, so that not only the grain straw was used, but also the labor in winter was not idle.With diversified operations and reasonable distribution, the income of Tianzhuang under her management has doubled compared to when it was under Xu Zongde's name.

When winter came, Xianglai already felt that Songning alone was too small, so she opened shops in two adjacent counties one after another.

Except for Hengyuan Farm, all the properties under her name are named after the word "Tianxiang".As for the reason, of course, it was the initials of her and Tianlai's names.The mother is gone, and now her only blood relative in this world is Tianlai. No matter how much family property he earns, he must have half of Tianlai.

And the reason why Hengyuan Farm didn't change its name was because Xianglai wanted to remind herself that Xu's revenge had not been avenged, and made Xu Zongde angry when he heard the name, and it was also because she was not sure how long this farm would be hers. As Luo Jinxing said, if Goryeo wants to rent out the land in Songning, the Zhuangzi will definitely not be able to keep it, and there is no point in changing the name.
