Reborn Nongmen Merchant Concubine

Chapter 358
　"The big tree attracts the wind. Our Ling family has a left minister and a minister. Where are the abilities of your father and you? It will be a matter of time before you reach such a position, but how many people behind the scenes don't want to see our family Wanton in officialdom, you know?

Your second uncle's talent is indeed much deeper than your father and I's literary attainments, but my father is the eldest son and he is the second son. Since childhood, my eldest father and your second uncle have often competed with each other because of grades, but in the end because of family Before, your second uncle can only teach children in private schools. "

Ling Xiaotian thought about it carefully before he understood what his father said, it just meant that some people didn't want their Ling family to occupy too many positions in the officialdom.Now the emperor's eldest son is the son of his younger sister, and secretly, how many people want to murder Yichen!
If they, as their natal family, could not give Wan'er the greatest support behind her back, whether it was their official status or financial support, they might have been squeezed out by other concubines long ago.

Although he knew that there was something between his younger brother and the emperor that he didn't know, but he knew that the second younger brother was also doing it for Wan'er's good, for their nephew's sake!

"Father, after having a heart-to-heart talk with you tonight, my son knows what to do in the officialdom! He should neither be too high-profile, nor appear to be too incompetent. It is in Wan'er's best interest for us father and son to gain a foothold in the officialdom." backing."

Ling Guocheng stroked the beardless chin: "You can teach a child. It's true that Wan'er has the eldest son Yichen, but there are many things we can't control in the deep palace compound. Fortunately, the emperor treats Wan'er as a child." Deep affection, otherwise Yichen would not be able to grow up safely."

Ling Xiaotian made up a lot of things that might happen in his own brain, and when he thought about it, he was shocked into a cold sweat!Just like what the old man said, if it wasn't for the status of the Ling family in the officialdom that made some people with ulterior motives jealous, Wan'er would not be able to sit in the back seat now!

"Father, that mother objected to the marriage between the second younger brother and the girl from the Meng family. What do you think? Besides, it is said that the girl Meng is not only very capable in business, but even in agriculture, some agricultural officials can't do it." Don't admire!?"

"Father just fell in love with her ability in agriculture. As the secretary of the household department, you should know the situation of our treasury. Every year, there are many frictions between the frontier and other countries. There are no wars, but after all, people are If you want to eat, food is food, and if you have food, you won't worry about other countries' invasion.

If Yu'er marries a girl from the Meng family, it means that our Ling family has another capable person, and Wan'er has another backer!Those who secretly want to play tricks on our Ling family have to weigh themselves! "

Ling Xiaotian was speechless, comparing himself with his father, tsk tsk, finally understood why so many officials secretly said that his father was an old fox!Really worthy of this title! "It's no wonder that although my father is opposed to my second brother marrying a girl who runs a business, he is not as strong as my mother! It turns out that my father has taken a fancy to her ability to grow food."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to rest after the incense sticks, let the housekeeper take care of the rest, remember, don't let the third person know what Dad told you tonight!

The emperor trusts our family because he knows that our family has been loyal and good for generations and will not commit treasonous things, but he has to guard against some villains doing tricks behind the scenes! "

Looking at the serious expression of the old father, Ling Xiaotian also knew that these things are big or small. The emperor gave the second brother a marriage. Everyone just cared that he was born as a country girl. He didn't realize that she was a country girl. But also a good farmer!
The nights in winter are always long, people fall asleep and wake up to find, um, it’s not dawn yet!Thinking of the second day of the new year, Meng Yuan seemed a little too excited to fall asleep!
"Who?"

"I, Ling Xiaoyu!"

Meng Yuan was stunned for a while, then pinched herself severely, and realized that she was not sleepwalking, because the sound of knocking on the window sounded again, so she got up and put on her clothes to open the window.

As soon as the window opened, Ling Xiaoyu jumped in with agility, and there was no chance for Mengyuan to stop it.

"Hey, why did you come to my house when you were away from home in the middle of the night and kept vigil with your family?"

Ling Xiaoyu came here on horseback, of course it would be much faster than a carriage, and he didn't even look at what his mount was, it was a good horse for thousands of miles!
Ling Xiaoyu looked at Meng Yuan, who was only wearing a coat and a coat, and wanted to tease the girl and hurriedly put on an obscene look: "My fiancé misses my fiancée, come and have a look, isn't it okay? "Ling Xiaoyu slowly tried to get closer to Mengyuan while talking.

However, the latter didn't notice that this man was abnormal at all, and it wasn't the first time Ling Xiaoyu was such a ruffian. There is no front or back, but she is still a woman after all, isn't she?
"Pervert, where are you aiming your eyes?" After that, Mengyuan wrapped her coat tightly, although there are no rough waves, there are still small steamed buns!She will also be shy if she is stared at by a man, okay?

"Too small!" Ling Xiaoyu popped out, but his eyes were still fixed on Meng Yuan's front.The latter was so angry that he picked up the teacup on the table and was about to throw it at him.Now she's being molested, so why not break things today?

"Wow, are you going to murder your husband?" He narrowly took the teacup thrown by Meng Yuan and apologized: "I'm sorry, didn't I lose control for a while! It's the first day of the new year, and you don't want to Tomorrow, Granny Hua will come to see the rubbish of porcelain pieces all over the place, right? All right, let’s talk to you about something serious, let’s sit down and have a good chat.”

Meng Yuan crossed her arms and looked at Ling Xiaoyu: "Should I believe what you say?"

"I came here overnight to ask you about ginger. This year's weather is colder than last year. Many soldiers in the frontier have been frozen to death, but the military doctors are helpless. I remember you said Ginger can drive away the cold, so I asked my men to prepare it, but the quantity is far from enough.

Now that you know this recipe, you should know where to get more ginger, right? "

Mengyuan gave Ling Xiaoyu a blank look: "It's impossible to plant that thing in the cold weather, but I still have some but not many, and I will save them for planting next year. I gave it to you, and I Where can I find ginger seeds then?"

If you don’t have ginger, you can actually use chili instead, but there’s nothing you can do with chili now, so I can’t help you either! "

Ling Xiaoyu came here full of hope, but in the end he got such an answer, which made him paralyze on Mengyuan's bed after running all night.

"Is there really no other way? Are you just watching the frontier soldiers die from the cold?"

"What else? I'm a human being, not a god. Even if I know the way, wouldn't it be useless if I don't have the ingredients? Besides, I remember that we added chili to the canned fish that the army bought from us, although it's not special. Yes, but people who don’t eat it often can still resist it for a while after eating it!
The weather this year is colder than last year, and, depending on the situation, it seems that there will be even colder times. "

"Canned fish, your army has bought a lot of canned fish and spent a lot of money, but there are very few pieces that actually reach the soldiers, and even fewer of them can be eaten!"

"Layer after layer of exploitation, you didn't know about this for the first time. Just like our business, if the cost price is not low, our profit will be affected. So do you want to make money for yourself or provide raw materials? What about people making money? I think you would say that it is better for everyone to make money together?

Yes, it’s good to make money together, but what I want to say is that if the price of your acquisition is too high, you will only dig a hole and bury yourself.I've said everything I need to say, now you can leave, grandma, I want to sleep! "

Meng Yuan talked for a long time, thinking that Ling Xiaoyu was just listening quietly and not expressing opinions, but in the end... she just fell asleep like this!This is how Meng Yuan sees the third man sleeping besides her father and younger brother!
"Tsk tsk, you look so troublesome, and you don't know how to flirt with women in the future! All right, since you came all night to ask about things that can't be helped, I'll give you the bed, auntie!"

Fortunately, when the house was built, the issue of heating was considered, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for her to give up the warm quilt!It's just that now, I can only lie helplessly on the small couch until midnight!

Ling Xiaoyu didn't actually sleep, he just closed his eyes and listened to what Meng Yuan said, but the girl's bed was different, it was soft and had a virginal fragrance.Don't ask him why he knows, this matter... hmm, it's better not to talk about it.

After Mengyuan heard the sound of even breathing, Ling Xiaoyu walked over lightly, touched Mengyuan's sleeping point, carried her to the bed, covered her carefully with the quilt, and lay down by herself , Of course, they are just sleeping under the quilt!

Ling Xiaoyu looked at Meng Yuan who was sleeping sweetly, and suddenly felt that the two of them lying on the same bed and watching each other sleep were so happy.No wonder his brother hugged that girl Ling'er to show off in front of him every time. He could watch that little girl sleep like this every day with his feelings!
Hey, the Ling family seems to have only one daughter in each generation. I wonder if Mengyuan can give him a naughty and smart little girl like her in the future?
The night was very long, but Ling Xiaoyu didn't feel sleepy at all. He just quietly watched Meng Yuan who was sleeping soundly, and didn't get up to leave until the rooster crowed!
