The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 106
Before Xu Chi had time to digest the meaning of the short words in the letter, Xu's father suddenly pushed the door open and asked in a cold voice, "Has Da Meng left?"

How did dad know?Xu Chi raised his head, his face full of doubts.

"I guess, the courtyard is clean, obviously, alas..." With a deep sigh, Father Xu didn't continue.

The two were silent for a while, Xu Chi handed the letter to Father Xu, stood up with a wry smile, and straightened the messy clothes, "If I knew he was so serious, I would have taught him more."

Before he left, he also wrote the words in an ugly way like a dog gnawing...

Father Xu didn't open the letter and asked Xu Chi to put it away by himself.

"What are you doing with it, oh yes, when people come back in the future, they should use these bad words to embarrass him."

The son was full of anger, saying this always made Xu's father feel that he could rush out and chase him back, and then beat him hard.

Xu Chi was silent for a few days because of his sudden departure. The strange thing was that he didn't show any sadness or anger. How should I put it, that feeling always made Xu Yuan inexplicably excited.

It's wicked!
At night, when the two of them walked home from the field, Xu Yuan couldn't help asking softly, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, "Brother, do you know why our family didn't open a school? It was still at that time"

when?
With the wind of luck along the way, the Xu family should be proud, and when Xu Chi should enter the officialdom and make a big splash... The academy was closed, and the family's situation suddenly plummeted, and all kinds of bad things happened.

"Forget it, I know you won't say it, hum!"

"...Speaking of which, you were still young and ignorant at that time."

Xu Yuan paused, and a look of joy flashed across her face.After Xu Chi followed, he listened to him explain things slowly.

Afterwards, I was speechless all the way, and when I was almost at the door, Xu Yuan grabbed Xu Chi's sleeve, "My parents didn't tell me, and they must have warned you, why are you willing now?"

"You wouldn't know if I didn't tell you?" Xu Chi chuckled, his tone slightly relaxed.

Xu Yuan smiled and gave Xu Chi a look, isn't this nonsense.

"Since you will know sooner or later, if your parents want to stop you, naturally they can't stop you. Besides, Yuanyuan has ambitions, and will always stay in the village and not go out?"

Being praised by Xu Chi, Xu Yuan was quite embarrassed, pinching the corner of her clothes and twisting around, pretending to be a little girl.While twisting, he said: "Actually, it's not a great talent. At most, it's smart and capable, and everyone loves it."

Xu Chi couldn't bear to look directly at him, and cursed with a smile, "You're really thick-skinned."

But at the same time, he was a little clear in his heart, like an ordinary woman, staying at home all day embroidering and taking care of the children, his younger sister must not be able to do it, that person has no patience at all.

"Go back, Mom and Dad are cooking."

Indeed, the aroma of food can be smelled from far away.

In the spring of this year, when the first crops were about to be harvested, Shopkeeper Qian sent a waiter to deliver a message. In front of Xu's father and Xu's mother, he said that the shopkeeper had something important to discuss, and Xu Yuan followed him for three days.

Even Xu Chi didn't know what happened in the past three days.

The crops in the field have never grown so well. The villagers laughed from ear to ear. When they saw Xu's father and Xu's mother, they would definitely drag them to the house for a meal.

"Hey, Yuan girl is really good at it. The fertilizer effect is so good. This year, one mu of land will have to harvest seven or eight stones of grain, right?"

Mrs. Gu held Mother Xu's hand, looked at the big and full tassels in the field, and couldn't help wiping away her tears.

Mother Xu comforted Mrs. Gu softly, and took a few more glances at the surrounding area.There must be seven or eight stones, but Xu Yuan's [-] mu of land must be able to harvest more than this amount of grain.

Xu Yuan had expected this problem a long time ago, and now, with the excuse that the new land is strong and the crops are growing well, she can still fool around for two years.

After the trial period of the folks has passed, she will upgrade the fertilizer a few years later, so that the crops in all the fields will be harvested at the same level, and the matter will be settled, there is nothing to worry about.

Early in the morning on the fourth day, Xu Yuan came back in a sedan chair.

Someone brought her there, but she didn't leave. He folded his fists and bowed, saying, "The two of us can just wait here."

Xu Yuan hummed lightly, lifted her skirt and ran home quickly. "Father, mother, come out quickly."

Xu's mother poked her head out from the kitchen and reprimanded her, "How old is a girl, what does she look like? Say, why did you go these few days, and why did you come back today? Do you know how worried your father and I are! "

Xu Yuan waved her hands, gulped down two cups of tea, and took a few breaths, "Where's my father?"

"Here." Xu's father stood at the door of the room and replied quietly, "What's the matter? Tell me, what does Shopkeeper Qian want from you."

"Hey, it's not his business, it's my daughter's business."

"How to say?" Father Xu asked strangely.

Xu Yuan collected herself, with a solemn expression, "Father, mother, I want to open a grain store. Also, I would like to ask your elders for their opinions."

Xu's mother immediately put on a straight face, and snorted heavily, "What can our two old bones have any objection? My daughter has grown up, so she can do whatever she wants, and don't feel dragged down."

"How do you talk!" Xu's father glared at Xu's mother, and looked at Xu Yuan and sighed, as if he couldn't utter a thousand words.

...Strange, why did mother react so strongly?Besides, isn't dad always the most thought-provoking? Why this time, he doesn't seem to be planning to speak for himself.

"Don't worry, you two, listen to me. There is a reason why I opened a grain store..."

That day, shopkeeper Qian called her away, just wanting to talk about the problems in the business account, and also said that some regular customers wanted to meet Xu Yuan, an "extraordinary woman". Later, they chatted and talked about the flood in the north of the county.

The terrain in the north of the county is flat, even a bit high. It stands to reason that there shouldn't be floods, but it's because of the drought for three years. The people dug a lot of wells in order to find water.

The word "pass" is taboo in everything. The ground has been dug with potholes. After heavy rain, many places have collapsed and sunken, and some villages with lower terrain have been flooded just like that.

The flood was serious, and the people were displaced, and they slowly poured into the imperial city. The officials realized it later, and when they found out that the situation was serious, the victims had already smashed the granaries of several big businessmen.

Not to mention those small shops, the granary plus a door, even three or five vicious dogs can't stop the hungry people...

Xu Yuan didn't see how miserable the scene was, and only heard a few words from the shopkeeper Qian and the passing merchants. It turned out that those things about eating tree bark were minor, and it was not surprising that they were like eating children and selling girls.

In order to survive, people have lost their humanity.

Listening to Xu Yuan talking about this now, Xu's mother lost her temper, and Xu's father smoked the dry cigarette, with the pouch open at hand.

"Father, how many times have I told you that this thing is not good. Don't worry, both of you. That's what Shopkeeper Qian thinks. We can collect part of the food in a few days, and give it to him for emergency first. No money is needed." I pay myself"

"What's the emergency?"

Xu's mother suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, Xu Yuan was frightened into silence.
