In the next few days, Wang Jin prepared meals at home in the morning and sent them to the cotton warehouse, counted and sorted the graded cotton in the afternoon, and lit the lamp in the evening to write the eight parts of the dragon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Why are you in such a hurry?

Because after a long conversation with Wang Mu, she found that Wang Mu's determination to participate in next year's imperial examination was very firm, almost to the point of stubbornness, and she didn't even want to listen to a word of persuasion. She became more and more anxious, remembering Li Mingqian's previous proposal, and decided to ask Jiang Qingliu to come forward to persuade her.

Asking someone to help naturally showed her sincerity, so she added an update to the novel.

Fortunately, she added more. Because Jiang Qingliu's second letter was actually delivered on the sixth day.

The guards who delivered the letter were dusty, and they had obviously traveled a long way.

"So fast?!" Wang Jian took the letter and said in surprise.

"Commanded from above to be delivered as quickly as possible." The guard explained, "It's pretty much the same time from now on. ”

"All the way around?" Wang Jin was even more surprised, and paused and said, "That's really hard for you, come in and have a cup of tea and rest!" ”

"No, no, no." The guard waved his hand, "I wonder if the girl has a reply to send to the fourth master?" ”

"Then you wait a minute." Wang Jian thought for a moment.

Back in the room, after sorting out the eight parts of the dragon that she had written in the past few days, she re-laid out the paper, wrote what she wanted, stuffed it into an envelope, and handed it to the guards.

"Farewell!" The guard arched.

"Thank you, be careful on the road." Wang Jinwei gave a gift.

The guard rolled over and got on his horse, and in a few breaths he was gone.

Is there a hurry to send the letter in such a hurry? Wang Jin frowned slightly, and returned to the room to open the envelope.

A bright red double-petaled flower fell on the table.

This is... Hibiscus flowers?

No wonder the envelope is a little strange.

The letter I sent this time was just a piece of paper, and the content was very simple.

"I stumbled upon a plant in a friend's garden that resembles a hibiscus, called Hibiscus Peony, which is not common in our south. This flower bloomed so well that I thought you would like it too, so I picked one and hoped it wouldn't be crushed by the time it arrived. ”

Wang Hibiscus held the flower in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully.

This flower, which is almost the size of her two palms, has butterfly-like petals that are clustered on top of each other with tender yellow stamens, and the bright and bright red color does have a bit of the grace and wealth of a peony.

It's really pretty. A faint smile welled up at the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, Shen Shu'er in the Qiuzhi Garden of Jiang Mansion was also holding a letter and reading it very seriously.

After reading the letter, she put down the letter, and her beautiful little face floated with a touch of worry.

"What's wrong with Miss? But what's the matter with the fourth master? Yahuan Lanxiang, who was standing on the side, asked.

She shook her head slightly: "My cousin said everything is fine." ”

"What is the young lady worried about?" Lan Xiangqi said.

She sighed lightly: "My cousin must have worked very hard all the way, and he will drink and hurt himself when socializing, and I don't know if I can rest well outside." This time, I won't be able to go home until the Chinese New Year, but I'm afraid I'll have to suffer a lot. ”

"Since Miss is so worried, then write a few more letters to tell the fourth master!" Lan Xiang said with a smile, "The fourth master has been walking outside all these years, and nothing has happened to him, and he rarely even gets sick. I think it's actually Miss Miss who misses the fourth master! ”

Shen Shu'er's face was slightly red, and she defended: "No, I'm not worried about my aunt!" ”

As he spoke, he glared at Lan Xiang, and said angrily: "Ignore you, I'll report to my aunt!" ”

**********************************

A few days later, Li Jiabuzhuang's convoy came, and Li Mingqian also came. To Wang Jin's surprise, Ruan Minyu and Zhuang Xue actually came.

Instead of going to the cotton warehouse with the convoy, their carriage stopped directly at the door of Wang Jin's house under the guidance of the villagers.

"Sister Jin'er!" Ruan Minyu saw Wang Jin who was about to go out, and rushed up excitedly to grab her hand.

"Why are you two here?" Wang Jin was surprised.

"My cousin brought us here!" Zhuang Xue grinned.

"Eldest sister, who are these two young ladies?" A tender voice said.

"Wow, what a pretty little girl!" Ruan Minyu exclaimed, squatted down to face Wang Tang, saw her little face like a pink carving, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it gently: "I'm Sister Ruan, this is Sister Zhuang, we are all friends of your eldest sister!" ”

Wang Tang looked at the two of them with dripping eyes, and said crisply: "Sister Ruan, Sister Zhuang, my name is Tang'er!" ”

"Tang'er, you go and call out your brothers, and say that there are guests coming and asking them to help entertain them." Wang Jin said to Wang Tang.

Wang Tang nodded, grinned at Ruan Minyu and the others, and then ran towards the house with his little short legs.

"I'm going out later, so you sit at home first. When I get back, I'll make you something to eat at noon! Wang Jian said apologetically.

"Sister Jin'er, you go and get busy, let's just go around." Knowing that she was going to arrange business, Ruan Minyu said busily.

Zhuang Xue also nodded again and again.

Wang Jinrou smiled: "Although I am not at home, I still have younger brothers and sisters at home." Don't go out for a walk, it rained two days ago and the ground was muddy and slippery, just sit at home, I'll let Mu'er Shi'er teach you to play cards. ”

"Playing cards? Leaf cards? Or Mahjong? Ruan Minyu asked curiously.

"No, I'll teach you a new way to play today, I'll know later!" Saying that, Wang Jin led the two into the house, and Wang Mu, Wang Shi, and Wang Tang also happened to come over.

Several people met the ceremony, Wang Jin asked Wang Mu to teach her the two to play cards, Chen boiled tea and prepared snacks, and after everything was in order, she went out to the cotton warehouse.

The convoy that came to transport the goods was still the same group of people as before, and the middle-aged shopkeeper was still in charge of leading the team.

Walking to the hut next to the cotton barn, the shopkeeper standing at the door respectfully bowed to Wang Jin: "Miss Wang, the son is waiting in the house." ”

Wang Jin nodded at him: "You've been waiting for a long time. ”

The shopkeeper didn't even dare to say it.

Walking into the hut, Li Mingqian was sitting in front of the table of her usual diary, holding her head in one hand and a few pieces of paper in the other hand to look seriously, but she didn't notice her coming in.

"Li Gongzi." She reminded aloud.

"Miss Wang." Li Mingqian turned his head to look at her with a smile, and pointed to a few pages in his hand, "This is written by the girl?" ”

Wang Jin shook his head: "It's a martial arts book I've read before, because the book was lost, so I had to try to retell it myself." ”

Retell it? Who are you going to show it to? Li Mingqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Li Gongzi, let's go to the cotton warehouse to inspect the goods. Minyu: They're still waiting for me at home. Wang Jin said again.

Li Mingqian nodded, put down the paper in his hand, and followed her into the cotton warehouse.

The left side of the silo is divided into two layers, and there are bulging sacks. The sacks on the right are piled up from the ground directly to the roof, leaving only a passage more than four feet wide between the two sides, which is quite spectacular.

"I remember that the girl said before that she planted more than 100 acres of cotton?" Li Mingqian looked at the sacks piled up in the warehouse, and said with some surprise, "This output is like the output of three or four hundred acres." ”

"Well, it's more than a hundred acres." Wang Jin was a little proud, suddenly thought of something, and said with some worry: "Is it too much, more than the amount that Gongzi needs?" ”

Thinking of the last time he took more than 20,000 catties of rice from her, Li Mingqian couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, you can still eat!" ”

Wang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this person's conduct is a little flawed, he has insight and capital, is refreshing and does not pick the door, and is an excellent business partner. If it were someone else, she might not have the confidence to convince her.

"Brother Bolt, please bring those three samples." Wang Jin said to the bolt that was standing aside.

The bolt nodded and walked away. When he returned, he had three cloth bags in his hand.

"Li Gongzi, I know that the purchase price of cotton on the market is basically forty wen a catty, but today I want to renegotiate with you." Wang Jin looked at Li Mingqian and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Li Mingqian raised his eyebrows, "I would like to hear about it." ”
