Chapter 284: The First Drought
The splendid scenery in the Baoding Hou Mansion lives a peaceful life, and he doesn't know that he is being calculated by others how to make full use of it, and then retaliate and knock him down!
After the Nan'an County Wangfu and Jiafu were settled, she and Luo Zhen went to Jiafu, Luo Zhenzi talked with Uncle Jia and Jia Yu in the study in the front yard, she didn't ask or want to know what the content was, she entered the inner garden, purely to congratulate Ruan and Jia Hui. Fire? Correct? Wen?? ο½?ο½?ο½?οΌ?
Ruan said that only then did he know that Jing Wangfu really wanted to discuss marriage with Jiafu, and the day after the Nan'an County Wangfu proposed to Jiafu for the first time, Jingwangfu came early in the morning, and it was clear that he wanted to rush in front of Nan'an County's Wangfu, but unfortunately, Jing Wang already had a concubine, so he could only ask for it as a side concubine, not to mention that the elders of Jiafu politely declined, Jia Hui himself could not agree.
This episode should have nothing to do with King Xian's side, King Jing really took a fancy to Jia Hui at the flower banquet of the Ningguo Mansion.
It's just that the flowers and flowing water have their own thoughts, and they have no fate.
In the past few days, Luo Zhen has been busy with the affairs of the imperial court, Jinxiu is taking care of the middle feed at home, taking care of the few businesses she has just started in the capital, as well as the planting of various granges outside the city, and she doesn't need to bother much, Baoliang is quite capable, and the father and son of Ye Da, who has been taking care of shops and other industries for Luo Zhen, are even more elites, she only needs to do a good job as a big boss.
Coupled with the Qian family's dowry in the second room of Luofu's house returned by the Qian family's uncle, now the young couple actually owns six or seven granges outside the city, fortunately, the few accompanying houses left by the Jia family are all good at managing and operating the grange, except for the Qingyun Villa in Heihe Town, Dongping County, a little farther away, and the Hongfeng Villa rewarded by the emperor, all of them are placed in some disabled soldiers who have returned from the border pass, failed to get the imperial court's pension in time, and were collected by Luo Zhen inside and outside the capital, and the rest of the Zhuangzi were all handed over to the Ye family father and son.
And all kinds of grain seeds to be distributed and planted this year, Jinxiu has also been moved out of the cave and stored in the warehouse in Fuzhong, Luo Zhen's people quickly transported it, that speed, almost overnight, the next day to see, the warehouse is empty, not a single seed has been dropped.
Where these seeds will be shipped, Jinxiu heard a rough idea in Luo Zhenna, and the details are unknown.
Ten thousand acres of fertile land in Qingyun Villa, Heihe Town, a large river and several mountains, as well as the mountains and forests and contiguous land of Hongfeng Villa, are contracted to those sergeants, with their families, and properly guide the development.
Jinxiu expands business channels in the capital, and she can't help but think of Xie Xiaoyu's little pen friend, that girl is worthy of being born in a businessman's family, and she is shrewd at a young age, but it is a pity that she is such a clever and clear person, and she has to accept the family arrangement unconditionally, and she has to swallow her anger and promise to marry her aunt and cousin.
Xie Xiaoyu said in the letter that he was going to Beijing in May and June this year, and he would live at his aunt's house for a while.
This situation made Xie Xiaoyu in a very embarrassing situation: a rich daughter with a family and parents, living in someone else's house and waiting to get married, no matter how you look at it, it looks like she is forcing marriage.
In fact, the Xie family really has this meaning, of course, it is not Xie Xiaoyu's parents, but the intention of the entire Xie family's parents, the elders of the Xie family asked to be pressed down, as the girl of the Xie family, Xie Xiaoyu dared to disobey? can only suffer and complain, and have to be cheeky and made fun of.
For this, Jinxiu can only sigh: every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!
Fortunately, the old Feng family's scripture let her help the Tian family get rid of it, although the three sisters still have to be regarded as the Feng family's girls, and the scripture may have to be memorized one day, but the Tian family has a good life, which is a big win!
Calculate that Guan Jie and the Tian family should also prepare to set off for Beijing, and be crowned a fictitious general, but they are also official families, and a little deterrent is not bad, in today's era, they are like this, they don't like to listen to a word without power or power, Guan Jie can be regarded as taking the Tian family into the Chizhou high society, only one thing is not good, from time to time he has to go to the capital, greet the emperor, kowtow and thank him.
And this is what also belongs to Tianjia Longen! The emperor favors you, and will give you this "honor"!
Guan Jie and Tian came with two small buns, Jinyu and Jinyun naturally followed, Jinxiu originally thought that Baoding Hou's Mansion was spacious, but the couple lived and there were no elders in front of them, so let the mother's family live together, but Luo Zhen objected: If it's just a mother-in-law, aunt, and milk-wrapped brother-in-law, you can live in the Hou Mansion how and how long you live, but it's different when Jie is here! Guan Jie must not agree to live at his son-in-law's house!
Jinxiu figured out the psychology of the men, and also felt that it was a bit like that, there was no way, so he had to ask Baoliang to find a craftsman to decorate a three-entry courtyard in Jia's dowry, paint it again, and then replace a full set of mahogany furniture, the doors and windows were open and breathable, and the mother's family could move in when they entered Beijing.
And all matters related to Guan Jie's husband and wife's entry into Beijing were handed over to Luo Zhen.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of April, although there was an emperor praying for rain before, but there were only a few light rains falling in the area of the capital, and the thunder and lightning were terrifying, but there was no heavy rain.
Letters from outside have been reported to Beijing, and Cangzhou and several adjacent places are in an emergency: there has been no rain since winter, the drought is severe, the farmland is cracked, the ponds and ponds are dry, and the farmers are unable to grow grain at all!
The lack of cultivation is already worrying, and now that the harvest is scarce, people are about to begin to suffer from hunger!
After the courtiers discussed with the court, the emperor allowed the performance, and sent a messenger to supervise the local opening of the warehouse and release grain, and relieve the people.
Luo Zhen told sΓΉ Jinxiu: The Qin messenger who went to Cangzhou to supervise the release of grain was Nangong Zhao's person, in fact, it was the Xianwang faction who first obtained this errand, but that person had an accident later, and was won by Nangong Zhao's side.
Jinxiu was puzzled: "What do you do when you fight for an errand to release grain?" Who goes not all the same? β
Luo Zhen said: "There are usually two situations when the grain is released, one is to be honest and public, and the other is to take the opportunity to be greedy for ink. This time is different from the past, Nangong Zhao is very taboo about the prophecy, if the people of King Xian go down, whether he is honest or greedy, it will only cause unfavorable results for Nangong Zhao, since he can see it, it is better to replace it and control the development of the situation himself, it is more appropriate! β
"Honesty and honesty are for the public, naturally it is a faction of people, if you are greedy for ink, just investigate and punish him, what is the hindrance of Nangong?"
Luo Zhen chuckled: "Are you smart and confused for a while?" If the man of a virtuous king goes down, if he is incorruptible, to whom will he earn a good reputation? If the greed for ink causes the people to accumulate grievances and trigger subsequent evil consequences, isn't it what the 'prophecy' says: the homeless people are wandering around, and civil strife begins! And Nangong Zhao, he was warned in advance that he would 'die' from internal and external troubles! Why do you think he is willing to sit idly by? β
Jinxiu laughed: "This prince is really not easy to be!" (To be continued.) )
