Chapter 439: God's Turn
Yiwang saw that the Jiang family was much thinner and more haggard than before, and persuaded, "Brother and sister, I heard Ah Fu say that Brother Ying will be fine. Brother Ying will also rely on Dingzhou's farming to do well and get the emperor's attention. Don't worry about ......"
Jiang's tears welled up and he sighed, "I know, but I just can't help it." This heart is as uncomfortable as rolling in a pot of boiling water every day......"
Chen Yuqing, Chen Yulan, and Chen Yuxia all came, but Chen Yuhui didn't come, she was sick. It has passed the wedding period for her to marry the He family, but the He family has no explanation.
Before, she went to the main courtyard every day to cry, wanting the Jiang family to go to He's house to reason. Jiang didn't go, but said that he would wait for Chen Shiying to come back and talk about it. She was confined after a few days, and she made trouble in her yard every day, and even went on a hunger strike, and tossed herself sick.
Chen Yuqing quietly told Chen Afu about Chen Yuhui, and her eyes became deeper. The original smiling eyes are now full of sorrow.
The eyes are the brightest place for Chen Yuqing, and this place is eclipsed, so it seems that her face is long and her appearance is very ordinary.
Chen Afu was very distressed when he saw Chen Yuqing like this. knew that she was not only worried about Chen Shiying, but also worried about her future. She is sixteen years old this year, and even if Chen Shiying is not demoted, the marriage will not be smooth. After all, Chen's mother's matter came out, and it was so unbearable. Her own grandmother is like this, and many good families will not marry the Chen family. Maybe it was because the Jiang family was frightened by Old Lady Chen, and they were unwilling to let Chen Yuqing marry a cold family.
No wonder Chen Shiying has been covering the affairs of Mrs. Chen before, not only because he is stupid and filial, but he is also afraid of delaying the family affairs of his children.
For the sake of Chen Yuqing, Chen Afu also hopes that Chen Yuhui will not produce demon moths again. After all, my grandmother is like this, and if my sister is unbearable, her family affairs will be even more difficult.
In the past, the Jiang family was more picky, and always hoped to find a future for his daughter who had a good family background and himself, but he didn't expect to delay his daughter.
Chen Afu persuaded in a low voice, "Look at my mother, it was also a difficult marriage at that time. It's been delayed until she is seventeen years old, and God has eyes, so she met her father......"
Chen Yuqing's face was flushed with shame, there seemed to be water in her eyes, and she said softly, "I know." Those things can't be rushed, only when Daddy comes home intact. ”
Chen Afu said, "The third sister believes in me, and my father will go home intact." ”
She and Chu Lingxuan have analyzed that there are many factors that are beneficial to Chen Shiying now, and he will not have a big deal. It is definitely impossible to be promoted, but there is still hope for keeping the position of prefect. The worst will be relegated two levels, but not too much, and the result will be much better than previously expected.
Chen Yuqing has always believed in the eldest sister. Hearing the eldest sister say it so firmly, she smiled rarely.
Chen Afu said to her, "Look, Sister Lan told you, go play with the little girls." ”
Qin Lan and Chen Yuxia were beckoning to Chen Yuqing under the rose frame. Chen Yuqing saw it and walked towards them, her steps a little blower than before.
Chen Afu came to the side of Grandma Fu and several other women. Grandma Fu said with a smile, "Just now we said that Miss Chen San is dignified and virtuous, if any of the descendants miss her because of Mrs. Chen, it will be a big loss." ”
Chen Afu smiled immodestly, "Yes, it's not that I'm boasting, my third sister is like my mother, and her talent is like my father. ”
Chen Afu's words were listened to by the Jiang family. The Jiang clan pulled Wang's hand tighter, and said, "Sister, you have brought the master well and taught Fu'er well." ”
Wang shook his head and smiled, "You can't say that, Brother Ying and Fu'er are already kind and intelligent. ”
The next day, Chen Afu invited Wang and Liu to play at home for another day, because they would return to Luyuan tomorrow. The Wang family went back to take care of Chen Ming, and the Liu family and son followed to play for a while, and Chen Alu was going to live in the General's Mansion again.
In fact, Chen Afu, Chen Dabao, Chu Hanyan, A Lu, and Li Xuan all wanted to go back to live for a while, but because Chen Afu was worried about Chen Shiying's affairs, he wanted to wait until his affairs were settled before going back.
Wang Cheng's matter will definitely have to wait for a while, after all, the involvement is huge, and some officials will not be able to do it and the three divisions will be tried. But Chen Shiying's matter has been delayed for so long, it should be soon.
There is also the fact that Chen Afu's little days have passed for six days, and the milk is obviously less, and he is more sleepy, I don't know if he is pregnant again, and he does not dare to sit in a carriage or sedan chair for a long time at this time.
Chen Afu is in a much better mood, and he has the heart to care about his business and land.
Because I was not in Dingzhou Mansion during the Chinese New Year, and there was a catastrophe, one thing after another after I came back, so many things were put down.
On the third day, some of the stewards of the grange were called. They reported on the situation of winter wheat and rape to be harvested, and also talked about the planting of "Dingzhou melon" and the preparations for planting other crops.
This time, because of the snow disaster and the sudden warming of the climate, the central and northern parts of Dashun directly caused the plague in Liaozhou, and there was no plague in other places, but there was a lot of insect plague. Except for the Dingzhou Prefecture, the winter wheat harvest is in deficit in almost all places. Last year, the Dingzhou district began to plant a large area of "Dingzhou wheat", which is not only high-yielding, but also resistant to insect pests, and although this year's harvest is not as good as in previous years, it is much better than in other regions.
As a result, the winter wheat harvest in the Grange was acceptable, but the canola harvest was half as low as in previous years. This is a natural disaster, and the head of the village and the tenants cannot be blamed. Chen Afu expressed his satisfaction and rewarded the village leaders with 20 taels of silver each. This is the year-end bonus of the previous year, and it is only now being given to them.
The treasurers and some of the chief stewards of the merchant houses and branches have been rewarded, and their rewards are much higher. The shopkeeper was 200 taels of silver, the branch shopkeeper was 100 taels of silver, and the stewards were 50 taels and 20 taels respectively.
In such a harsh climate, the winter wheat harvest in the jurisdiction of Dingzhou can still be harvested, which is a great achievement that Chen Shiying cannot be erased by others, and it will also be an important factor that the emperor and the elders have to consider when sending him down.
This snow disaster and insect plague are a rare catastrophe in the Great Shun Dynasty in a hundred years, and if it is not good, it will make Chen Shiying have a divine turn on the unknown road ahead.
On the fourth day, Chen Afu wanted to go to Fuyun to come to the firm again.
Mama Li stopped, "Grandma is at a critical time, don't work too hard." ”
Chen Afu said, "It's okay, I'll sit back and forth in a soft sedan chair." ”
She led Hongfei, Mama Li and a few other subordinates to the Fuyunlai Trading House. Now the Fuyunlai Commercial Bank is not only the two-story shop at the beginning, but also the two three-story shops next to each other last year. Three small buildings and courtyards are connected together, forming a business empire integrating office, grain trading, seed trading, and commodity trading.
After listening to Zeng Shuang and several chief stewards on the summary of the past work and the next development plan of the firm, Chen Afu was very satisfied.
