Chapter 70 An Order

Wu Jinci heard that something was wrong, but he didn't know how to answer it, so he could only say in a polite manner: "I would like to hear more about it."

Zhang Fuzhen said: "You said if your future husband already has someone he likes, what should you do?"

Wu Jinci grew up in her boudoir since she was a child, and the struggle in the back house is not uncommon. His father had wives and concubines, and he knew that Zhang Fuzhen's father had only one wife. I was still a little surprised, but then I felt envious. What woman doesn't want to be a couple with her beloved for the rest of her life?However, men are all playful people, and their sincerity can be given to you or to others. Some women with strong tempers either find short-sightedness or get divorced. In short, they hurt eight hundred enemies and one thousand themselves. Even the loss outweighs the gain.

I have already thought about it, no matter what, I can't do this, I would rather endure the humiliation, as long as I can keep my peace, I just need to sit firmly as a wife, and I am not afraid of those little goblins rebelling.

But now that the situation is imminent, I can't deal with it calmly, especially when I know that my future husband will be unfaithful to me before I even get married.

Wu Jinci's heart was already trembling, she twisted her hands silently in her sleeves, bit her lips, and said, "Aren't you my future husband? You have someone you like?"

Zhang Fuzhen put away his pretended humility, and said seriously: "Yes, I already have someone I like, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the marriage contract between you and me."

Wu Jinci's face has gradually faded from pink, and he said after a while: "You and my parents' order, the matchmaker's words, how can you go against it?"

Zhang Fuzhen sneered, and said: "I want to marry a wife, but they never listened to my opinion."

Wu Jinci said: "Then what are you going to do with this marriage now?"

Zhang Fuzhen said: "I originally planned to ignore this marriage, hoping to annoy your family and angrily resign, but now, we are going to move our family to the capital, and your family will also move there later." Jingdu, here you and my family act like this, and I will be separated from her there. Even if she is a big-hearted person, there is no guarantee that she will not be unhappy, and I will bear an unwarranted name, and Ms. Wu You still have to waste your time on this, and the longer you and I are engaged, the worse it will affect your reputation once my family regrets the marriage. Considering the three parties, I think it would be better to let you know the whole story as soon as possible , so that you can make plans early."

The sun shone warmly on his body, after he finished speaking, Zhang Fuzhen's forehead was slightly sweaty, but Wu Jinci felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his body and mind couldn't help trembling slightly.

Wu Jinci lowered his eyes, tried his best to keep his tone steady, and said, "Young Master Zhang's favorite person is so lucky to receive such favor from you, it's so enviable."

Zhang Fuzhen said: "Everyone has their own destiny, as Miss Wu is as beautiful, wise, virtuous, kind and gentle, and you will definitely meet someone who is precious to you in the future."

Wu Jinci said: "But I don't know which family's lady is the woman who is fortunate to be favored by Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Fuzhen suddenly thought of Yang Feier's jade-like little face and those dewy eyes looking up at him that night.The brilliance in his eyes flickered, and a smile naturally appeared on the corner of his mouth, making that flawless handsome face reflect the sunlight like a diamond, shining in the spring sun for a while, but it hurt Wu Jinci's eyes.

"Her family is not a big family, and I'm afraid Miss Wu doesn't know her." Zhang Fuzhen's face was rippled with happiness, and his words were full of affection.

Wu Jinci felt a pain in her heart. Recently, her heart has been hurting again and again. She said: "Well, after you go back, I will truthfully report this matter to my parents and let them handle it. I am also a child , I really don't want to disobey my parents' wishes, I hope Mr. Zhang will forgive me."

Zhang Fuzhen said: "Since that's the case, then please trouble Miss Wu. Miss Wu understands righteousness deeply, and I respect and admire you very much."

After all, Zhang Fuzhen was not deeply involved in the world, how could he know.Not all beautiful girls are as beautiful, kind, gentle and considerate as they look.At their age, they have formed different and various personalities according to their own backgrounds, environments, and circumstances.They may still retain a trace of childishness, but the way they handle things has initially possessed the typical part of their character.

Wu Jinci did not state the matter in front of her parents as she said.Her self-esteem does not allow her to do this, so just do it according to your own will!For Wu Jinci, just giving an order is as simple as all the orders she gave in her own courtyard on weekdays.For example, "I want the rouge from Liuhezhai." "I want the soft smoke from Biyunju" and so on.

This time, she was lying on her expensive beauty couch covered with pure white bear skin, and said in a very lazy and flat tone: "Xiaoxia, on the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, ask your cousin to burn that bitch Died in her yard, I don't want her to exist in this world."

The most terrible thing in this world is to let stupid and violent people hold weapons in their hands.Wu Jinci is not stupid, but she is naive, she is not irritable, but she makes jealousy a double-edged sword.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Tang’s family, the village chief and his two sons from Tangjia Village came to Hu’s house. Last year, during the slack season, they also came here from time to time. They were embarrassed to see Hu’s family busy. Excuse me, I usually go back after eating.

Aunt Tang was pregnant with a second child by accident last summer, but the family was very happy. There was no news for many years, and Doctor Jiang in the city said that again. This pregnancy was even happier than when she was pregnant with Dabao. Uncle Tang came to the city and brought [-] eggs to thank the Hu family, saying that the old house of the Hu family is really a treasure of geomantic omen, which made him happy again. Adding newcomers and so on made the Hu family laugh and cry, but they were all happy for him and congratulated him one after another.

The three sentences are always the same. People in Tangjia Village like to talk about farming when they come to Tangjia Village. They are all people who have been working in the field all their lives and have a special kind of intimacy with the fields. Listen to it with gusto.

Last year, Tangjia Village planted rice and raised fish according to Yang Feier's original method, and the imperial court issued detailed method documents to all counties and villages. It is so fast, but some can be sold every day. Near the end of the year, all the remaining fish species are also sold out.

The combined income of fish and rice is more than ten times that of previous years.

Uncle Tang’s family also raised [-] or [-] chickens in the yard. The second elder of the Tang family took his grandson to learn the method of Hu’s family at that time. They raised these chickens by plucking leaves and scooping screws, and the eggs they laid were even bigger. I didn't go for bulk sales either, and sent them all to Phil's Sweet Cake Shop.

After dinner at noon, several people were still talking about the farming and the rice transplanter. Tang Zhengfu said: "Now the Zhang family can send it! When I bought the rice transplanter in Fucheng, I heard from the owner of the carpenter's shop that Zhang The family listed the right to manufacture and sell the rice transplanter for public bidding. Only one family can buy it in a prefecture. The highest price wins. His family also bought it for 900 taels of silver. Afterwards, every time one is sold, Zhang’s family will be charged 500 yuan. According to this calculation, we have a total of eight provinces and 86 prefectures in the entire Datai Dynasty, including countless counties and villages. It’s popular all over the world, but among the ten miles and eight villages I know, which one doesn’t have a rice transplanter? The Zhang family’s money is really making a lot of money this time!”

Yang Feier listened from the side, and couldn't help feeling a kind of admiration for Mrs. Zhang from the bottom of her heart. In this ancient society, there are people who know how to engage in provincial, municipal, and prefecture-level agents!Such a marketing talent is Dong Mingzhu's first-class figure in modern times.

Thinking about how busy I am all day, I am really ashamed!
Yang Feier suddenly remembered something, and said: "Grandpa Village Chief, Uncle Tang, I have something to show you." He asked Feng Ling to go to the warehouse to bring the shrimp cage.Everyone looked at the pile of nets on the ground and wondered, "What is this?"

Yang Feier said: "This is a kind of net for catching shrimps, called shrimp cages. You can take these shrimp cages home, make a few as usual, and put them in the river ditch to catch shrimps. During the breeding season of river prawns, you can circle a few acres of fields and stock them intensively. In autumn, you can sell them. We, the king of Shu, will buy them in large quantities. Grandpa the village chief, this method can also be taught to other villagers. The output of your two breedings is too small, and it is far from enough to meet the needs of the King of Shu at that time. Now the market price is sixty or seventy yuan a catty. Although the price of the farmed ones will not be lower than the wild ones, the price will not be lower. It’s about the same price as beef, and after a year, it should be several times higher than your income from rice farming and fish farming.”

Yang Feier considers that summer is the off-season for hot pot restaurants. In ancient times, there was no air conditioning, and during the dog days, who would eat hot pot around the stove?These losses have to find a way to recover them during the peak season.

Shrimp slides are very popular, but the raw materials are often out of stock. Yang Feier has always planned to use farming to supplement them.

When Tang Zhengfu and the others heard this, they were both pleasantly surprised and half puzzled. Tang Chaofu stepped forward to pick up a shrimp cage and said, "Can this thing catch shrimp?"

"Of course it can." Hu Yongqiang said: "Over half a year ago, our family earned more than 300 taels of silver by this."

"More than 300 taels in half a year?" Tang Zhangcheng said in surprise, after thinking about it, he laughed and said: "Your family has kept this matter secret enough, our two families live so close, why didn't you hear anything at all? "

Hu Yongqiang rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, and said with a smile: "We deliberately conceal it, but others don't care to pay attention to it. Didn't we just do it for more than half a year without knowing it?"

Tang Chaogui said: "Since your family will do it first, and the King of Shu will buy it later, there will be no worries about the future, okay! I think this can be done."

Everyone agrees with this opinion.The crowd was excited, and they began to learn how to weave nets from Yang Feier and Hu Yongqiang, inquired about some details of shrimp catching and raising shrimps, and made some plans for shrimp farming ponds at Hu's house, etc. They were busy until dark. We will return after dinner.

Every day after that, all the suppliers came to Hu's house to pay New Year's greetings,

Zhang Fuzhen came to Hu's house to pay New Year's greetings as usual on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone has a share of New Year's gifts such as drinks and cloths, but Yang Feier did not bring gifts to Zhang's family to pay New Year's greetings like last year. First, because of the failed proposal , both sides were evasive and scrupled, Zhang Fuzhen had already discussed marriage and was afraid of gossip.Secondly, she is getting older and a big girl, so it is not suitable for her to go out alone to pay New Year's greetings.In place of Yang Feier, Hu Kang went to Zhang's house on Chuqi, brought back some wine and cloth, and added some sweet gold gifts in gift boxes to Phil, which was considered as a full gift.
