Chapter 59: Xiang Xuelan----- Expression of Love
What the people of the Su family didn't know was that in the deep mountains and old forests less than a hundred miles away from Sujiatun, there was a small mountain village with only two families. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yun Lan's third uncle, Yun Jun, lives in this small mountain village and is the head of one of the families. In that year, the Yun army was seriously wounded on the battlefield, fell into the river, and was washed downstream dozens of miles away along the river. Covered in scars, he was rescued by a hunter in a coma.
The hunter, the one he now calls Grandpa, is his wife's grandfather.
However, he married his current wife, Shan Xing, after learning that the Shen family had already remarried. At the beginning, he met his ex-wife Shen by chance in Shenjiatun, near Sujiatun. At that time, Shen was carrying a two-year-old boy on his back, followed by a man. The man was also pulling a boy of six or seven years old. It's very intimate.
At a glance, this is a family of four.
Shen almost passed him by, but he didn't even recognize him.
Yun Jun held back his excitement and personally inquired many times, and the Shen family had remarried many years ago. The eldest brother's family is in the hometown of Fucheng, and it is said that the nobles have been attached, and the second brother's family was taken to the northwest by the beauty of the eldest brother's family.
Yun Jun left in silence.
After another three months, when the life-saving benefactor, that is, the old hunter Luo Wu, spoke again and wanted to recruit him as his grandson-in-law, he finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, I agreed, thank you old man for taking a fancy to me!" ”
Old Man Luo, 53 years old, fled more than 10 years ago. Beside him, there is only an eighteen-year-old granddaughter, whose name is Luo Shanxing. The mountain apricot grows well, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly taller than the average woman, and the body is very strong.
Luo Shanxing fell in love with Yun Jun at first sight, and for so many years, she has refused to agree to marry or marry other men. single-mindedly, just waiting to be Yunjun, even if he said that he had already married a wife and had children.
Shan Xing is not entangled, but refuses to give up and marry someone else. On weekdays, I get along with him with the attitude of my sister, and I am generous, and I never take the initiative to get in front of him, not wanting to put too much pressure on him.
Shan Xing is not bad, he looks good, his body is strong, and he is single-minded about Yunjun. The only bad thing is that if Yun Jun marries her, he must be a son-in-law.
Just like that, let Yun Jun think about it for several days.
In the end, I figured it out and agreed.
In fact, what qualifications does he have to find fault with others now?
Now, his external name is Zuo Jun, because he encountered bandits, he was seriously injured, and his parents and brothers were also separated at that time. For the old man and Shan Xing, it can be regarded as a white lie!
At the beginning, when the old man saved him, he didn't dare to tell his true identity because he was disappointed in the court and army of Yan State. I had no intention of going back to the barracks. If you live with a real identity, you will inevitably reveal your whereabouts, and you will be arrested on the charge of desertion. Now, when he learned that his niece had become the queen of Qi in the first year of junior high school, he was even more afraid to tell his true identity to the Luo family.
Incognito is the best option.
To be a door-to-door son-in-law, so what?
After experiencing so many trials of life and death, he knows too well that survival is not easy.
Can the face of the Rausch be eaten as a meal? Will you be able to keep peace? Can he reach the northwest safely and reunite with his parents, second brother's family, and son Xiaohai?
No, it can't be done.
That's the case, door-to-door son-in-law, then door-to-door son-in-law!
Lizi, after all, it's more important than face, isn't it?
If you want to live safely, have a proper identity to live, and marry Shan Xing, that is the best choice. Old Man Luo saved his life, and during the half year that he was in bed to recuperate, it was Shan Xing who took care of him. Moreover, the mountain apricot is not ugly, dress up well, and the appearance can be regarded as medium to upper.
Shan Xing is simple and kind, diligent and practical, and ingenious. Sewn clothes, shoes and socks, with fine stitches, look good and comfortable to wear. It seems that I have never worn such suitable shoes, and I don't feel guilty about my feet no matter how far I go.
Shan Xing has a pair of big and bright eyes, beautiful and pure, which inexplicably gives him a very reassuring and comfortable feeling.
In that case, what else is there to mind?
Door-to-door son-in-law, let's go door-to-door son-in-law! It's better than marrying a woman who doesn't know the root and the bottom in the future, if that woman is unreliable, won't the descendants be implicated?
A few years have passed, and he already has a son and a daughter, his daughter Yun Qianqian is three years old, and his son Yun Ping'an is one year old. They are all very strong, very cute, and have a good temper.
If Xiaohai is still alive and well, he should be fifteen years old this year.
Over the years, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and he doesn't know how this child grew up? In the past, when I was still in Yunjiaao, life was very difficult, right? Was he frightened when the earth moved? Are you hurt?
He didn't dare to inquire about any of this, lest his identity be suspected.
He was keenly aware that his grandfather's house in the first year of junior high school seemed to be being monitored and targeted. Not to mention anything else, every once in a while, there are inexplicable people who are always looking for trouble with the Su family, what's going on? At first glance, it's not normal!
Although, he can also investigate secretly and quietly help the Su family. However, if the other party is a scout or spy of the imperial court, it is very likely that he will notice him and suspect him. Besides, the family was selfish and didn't stand on the side of the second brother's family and went to the northwest together. With such a selfish person, he can't afford to meddle in his affairs.
This man must always bear the due responsibility and consequences for the wrong things he has done.
I only hope that in the future, I can almost reunite with my loved ones.
It's a pity that this place is thousands of miles away from the country of Qi? Today's situation is not suitable to go out of the mountains and forests and out of the northeast. The old man of the emperor was also confused, and one after another, he made many confused decisions.
I hope that the next emperor will be enlightened and holy.
If one day, Yan and Qi are on good terms, and Old Man Luo also dies, it is that he leaves the Northeast with his wife and children and goes to settle down in a place adjacent to Qi. is close, there will always be a day when you can find an opportunity to reunite with your family and never be separated from Xiaohai again.

Zhuge Tianming went hunting in the mountains, brought back a few bushes of fragrant snow orchids, and said to Yun Lan with a smile: "Lan'er, look at what kind of flower this is?" ”
At the beginning, when he was Tang Rui, there were a lot of fragrant snow orchids growing in the mountains near the village. I remember that Lan'er liked it very much, and pulled him with great interest, dug a lot of it back, and planted it in front of the house and behind the house. When I came to the northwest, I never saw this flower again, and I didn't expect to find the traces of Xiang Xuelan in the deep mountains and old forests today.
"Xiang Xuelan? Dig it for me? Yun Lan was very happy.
Fragrant snow orchid, a perennial bulbous herbaceous flower. The bulb is narrowly ovate or ovate, the leaves are sword-shaped or strip-shaped, the flower stem is erect, the flowers are erect and sessile, pale yellow or yellowish-green, fragrant, the bracts are broadly ovate or oval, the tepal tube is flared, the perianth lobes are oval or oval, the capsule is nearly ovate, flowering in April-May and fruiting in June-September. Because the flower color is pure white like snow, and the fragrance of the flower is quiet like an orchid, it is named fragrant snow orchid.
Xiang Xuelan is a kind of flower that Yun Lan likes very much.
Zhuge Tianming nodded with a smile: "Well, I dug it for you on purpose, I remember that you like this kind of flower very much!" ”
"Well, the flowering period of Xiangxuelan is very long, the flower pigment is elegant, the flowers are like lilies, the leaves are like orchids, and the fragrance is rich. In winter, it can be used as the main flower in the Qinzheng Hall and the Liubu Yamen, as well as in the royal palace. ”
Yun Lan said with great interest, with a bright smile on his face, and Zhuge Tianming lost his mind. couldn't help but get close to her, took her into her arms, lowered her head and kissed her deeply.
Lan'er, why are you so likeable?
I love you, Lan'er! I find that my love for you is getting deeper and deeper, and I can't dissolve it. I can't even believe that if one day, you don't want me, you don't allow me to love you anymore, will I be able to withstand this blow and loss?
Yun Lan responded warmly and kissed back affectionately.
The beautiful and sweet atmosphere quickly spreads through the air.
******
Yunlan cultivated a large number of fragrant snow orchids, and when winter came, she used fragrant snow orchids and red phalaenopsis as theme flowers, with magnolias, bamboo, and other decorations in the living room, which looked elegant and dignified, and had a unique flavor.
Yun Lan also introduced to her colleagues in the household department: "Xiangxuelan bulbs have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, invigorating blood, and can be used for snake wounds and sores. There are more than 20 varieties with a variety of colors, which can be divided into red, yellow, white, and blue. The color is bright and the flowers are fragrant, and it can be cultivated with cut flowers or potted in greenhouses. ”
"Well, this flower is really different, and I love it too!" Yun Dou was full of starry eyes, and immediately asked Yun Lan: "My lord, where are I going to buy this Xiang Xuelan?" ”
Yun Lan: "I don't have to buy it, this is what the king dug in the mountains." ”
Yundou said happily: "Dig in the mountains?" This is great, when the day of Mu is off, I will invite a few people to play together, and dig some fragrant snow orchids by the way! ”
Immediately, someone enthusiastically agreed: "Count me in, I want to go too!" ”
"That's right, count me in!" Several people responded.
In everyone's hearts, they couldn't help but be very envious: The king is so good to the queen! A few families are happy and happy, and they live happily, which is really enviable!
Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, if my husband is half as good as the king is to the queen, I will be satisfied.
Young man: In the future, if my wife is half as good as a queen, I will be satisfied, and I will be willing, and I will cherish and love her wholeheartedly.
Yun Lan shook her head and said disapprovingly: "It's a high mountain and dense forest, it's better for ordinary people not to go, it's very dangerous!" If you want to go, you must have good martial arts, and it is best to have more than five people. In the deep mountains, there are poisonous snakes and beasts! ”
"Oh, that's it!" Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed, and their faces were full of regret.
Yun Lan couldn't help but shake her head amusedly: "That's okay, I'll divide some and ask my father to help cultivate it." When the time comes, Yundou will go and ask my father for some and share them with everyone! ”
Yun Dou hurriedly waved his hand: "That's not good, it's not okay to give it for nothing!" The adult's father is not young, and his subordinates can't take advantage of the elderly, and his subordinates have to spend money to buy it! ”
"That's right, I'm embarrassed to ask for it."
Yun Lan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't fight, it's just a little flower, what kind of money do you want?" You don't have to ask for cloud beans, when the time comes, I'll let people pull some over, and each person will divide two trees, and it will be my gift to you! ”
It's just some flowers, how much can it be sold for? She doesn't care about such a small amount of money.
However, she seems to be thinking a little too simply.
When she sent Xiang Xuelan to her colleagues in the household department, within a few days, a lot of people suddenly poured into Dongfeng Village. There are those in charge of procurement in the yamen, stewards in noble families and wealthy merchants, and many masters and students in academies.
What are you doing there?
Naturally, it was Ben Xiang Xuelan who went.
Yun Qin had no choice but to invite everyone to the reception room at the entrance of the village, and later, he took people to dig out almost all the fragrant snow orchids in the flower garden, and only five or six trees were left to continue to breed and cultivate.
The fragrant snow orchid cultivated by Yun Qin is much better than that cultivated by Yun Lan. After all, the water that is watered is also added with spiritual spring water. Moreover, Yunqin is more professional, patient and timely.
Whether it's a plant or a potted plant, you can't take your eyes off it. Although the price of Xiangxuelan is not low, it is in short supply.
This is mainly due to the fact that as soon as a large family buys it, it is hundreds of plants and more than a dozen potted plants. If one person takes the lead, other wealthy families, or noble families, will naturally not be far behind and will rush to be the first.
The price, in fact, is what these people speculated.
Yun Qin didn't want to charge so much, those people didn't do it, did he look down on them? Naturally, the one who says this is the master, not the servant. If it was a domestic servant, he didn't dare to make a claim, and in order to compete for Xiang Xuelan, he took the initiative to raise the price.
Yun Qin was speechless, so he had to accept the money.
And, with an idea, he sent someone to quickly move a lot of other potted plants and green plants over, and set up a small flower market on a lawn at the entrance of the village. There are 25 varieties of flowers in the garden, some of which bloom in winter and some of which are grown in greenhouses. There are more than a dozen kinds of potted plants, and there are also seven or eight kinds of green plants.
Next to the flower market, there are more than a dozen kinds of green vegetables and fruits, which are all grown in the vegetable greenhouse, and they are out-of-season vegetables. In the winter of Qi country, these vegetables are almost extinct. That is, those families with profound backgrounds, noble families, will plant a little bit in their own flower houses. The masters with the highest status can eat once every five or six days, but they can't eat to their heart's content, and they can't eat every day.
The dazzling array of purple and red flowers, the strange and beautiful potted plants, green plants, and green vegetables and fruits immediately attracted the attention of all the visitors, making it impossible for people to move their feet. The purse involuntarily took it out; A large amount of silver tickets, involuntarily, placed an order.
A huge battle for the purchase of flowers, potted plants, vegetables and fruits kicked off, and a few young masters who had nowhere to spend had a lot of money began the "bidding" of fruits and vegetables, flowers and potted plants.
Yun Qin said that he was very helpless, so he had to wait for those people to leave, and then sell them to those masters and students at a much lower price. Most of the masters and students who came to buy flowers and fruits in person were ordinary people, not rich sons and ladies who had a lot of money and no land.
All of a sudden, the lady and lady in the capital of Qi set off a whirlwind of planting fragrant snow orchids, and also set off a trend of placing flowers, potted plants, and green plants in homes and offices.
The inventory in the flower garden was swept away and a lot of money was made.
Yun Lan couldn't help but sigh very emotionally.
Is this the celebrity effect?
Hehe, in this life, she is the queen, isn't she a celebrity?
This was placed in the previous life, but I can't even think of it!
Not to mention the mother of a country, even the department manager of a medium-sized company, she has to work very hard to sit in that position. Because, there are too many opponents, and colleagues who are suffering from red eye disease come one after another.
Even now, you are the mother of a country, but there will inevitably be some people who pay attention to her behind their backs. Even, there are famous and noble girls who don't know the height of the sky, and they dare to give Yun Lan a bad face in person.
The problem is, since this noble lady still thinks that Yun Lan will definitely not be able to see it, and thinks that her own methods are so clever, she thinks that everyone else is a fool! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.
"Mother, don't pay attention to those people, that's just a crazy woman with a brain problem!" Yun Kai either doesn't speak, as long as he speaks, it must be a golden sentence.
What I didn't say was: My son will find a suitable opportunity to teach some of those leaders a good lesson, so that they can know that I, Zhuge Yunkai, will never allow anyone to give my mother the slightest grievance!
Fortunately, Yun Qin was very vigilant, and as soon as he heard a little rumor, he donated one-tenth of the silver money produced by the flower garden to the Qi National Charity Hall. He also donated 500 taels of silver to the scholarship fund of Shazao Academy. As a result, the mouths of those who wanted to slander Yun Lan were blocked, leaving these people speechless. At least, don't dare to say three or four things blatantly in public.
******
More than half of the vast saline-alkali land of Qi has been successfully transformed. Among them, forty percent of the land has been transformed into a lower field; Fifty percent of the land has become Zhongtian; About 10% of the land has been transformed into fine paddy fields.
In the past, more than half of the incomparably desolate and inaccessible Loess Plateau was reclaimed as military farms. In addition, there are more than 30 large and small villages scattered around. Although the grain output is not as good as that of the south of the Yangtze River, which is rich in water and soil, it is really not low, and it is higher than the output of the Central Plains of Yan Kingdom.
Not to mention, these countries in the steppe.
Those grasslands can only grow pasture, not crops.
On the snowy plateau, there are most days of the year, when the snow is white, and there are no crops.
In the ravines, the land is barren and cannot grow crops.
In the desert, water is very scarce, and even the green is hard to see.
The eyes of the people of the Yan Kingdom were red, and the eyes of more than a dozen neighboring small countries of the Hu people were also red. Although Yan Guo is red-eyed, it is rich in land and resources, and there is not much shortage of food. Those small countries of the Hu people,
More than a dozen small border countries were united at once, as if the fighting and hatred of the past had never existed. The lords of more than a dozen small countries gathered together to discuss the joint attack on Qi and seize the feng shui treasure of Qi.
That's right, those Hu people feel that the feng shui of Qi is excellent now, and it must be blessed by the gods. Therefore, this can grow crops with high yields on saline-alkali land and the Loess Plateau.
As a result, the Hu people fell in love with the feng shui treasure of the Qi country.
On the border, friction began to continue, from small to large.
A huge war is about to break out.
The situation is very serious, and there is no room for self-deception.
Zhuge Tianming began to go out early and return late, and even sometimes, it was several days or ten days and half a month when he left. I went out with a sad brow, and came back worried, with a scruffy beard and looking very haggard.
This is the biggest crisis that Qi has encountered since its founding.
No! It should be said that it is the greatest crisis he has encountered since he came from the northeast to the northwest, this vast land. In the past, those Hu people looked down on this barren land, and generally just grabbed it on the border and left.
Now, those small Hu countries have colluded to annex and carve up the Qi country in one fell swoop! In the next few days, if you can't come up with a good way to control the enemy, the Qi State is very likely to face annihilation.
Facing her husband's haggard face and red eyes, Yun Lan gritted her teeth, and finally made up her mind to make a mine and continue to tinker with grenades. In addition, create some rings, bracelets, hairpins, etc. that can be used as hidden weapons, and distribute them to the hands of loved ones for self-defense.
There are also ten-round bows and crossbows, which must also be drummed out! As for pistols and the like, there is no such condition now, at least we must first solve the problem of iron-making and steel-making. With the current smelting technology, it is impossible to build a usable gun, and there must be a breakthrough in technology!
Moreover, she actually didn't want to bring this thing to this ancient dynasty, and she didn't want to spoil the fresh air unique to this era. Heavy industry, if it can not develop so early, then it will not develop. In fact, she didn't even want to make mines and grenades, let alone promote them.
