This is how a group of women gossip when they get together, you and I can pull from the east to the west, and even worse, the topics of conversation can not be connected at all.

However, the grand occasion of the chat on the edge of the well changed slightly, and the topic had been talked about Qiao Quan's matter for a long time, and when this topic was mentioned, the women naturally came to Yang's side, hoping to hear more first-hand news.

Here the Yang family is the stars and the moon are generally lacking in skills, and the Li family, Xiao Li, and Luo are left aside, you know, because there are two more people in the family who take the children's exam, these three people have been the focus of everyone for a long time, and they have to take the trouble to boast about it every day.

I saw that Li's face was blue and red for a while, and it was ugly to death, Luo noticed his mother-in-law's face and didn't know how to make her feel comfortable, so he thought for a while and only took Yue's words and said sarcastically: "Uncle, it's a pity that your golden eggs haven't married yet, otherwise it would be better to have one for Qiao Quan." ”

Yue's face sank suddenly, "Not to mention that our family doesn't have a granddaughter yet, even if there is, there are not so many female babies to send out one by one." ”

"Wherever you send your daughter, it's all out of the question." Yang was slightly regretful: "Actually, our family Qiao Quan is too, no matter what I say, he doesn't want to find another one, hey...... It's really not possible, and he can only give him a stepdaughter in his name. ”

"What's so embarrassing about that. There are so many brothers in Qiao, and they can succeed from anyone to their names. Dong San's sister-in-law waved her hand disappreciably, "Even if Qiao Quan wants to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, he can have a stepdaughter under his knees." When both children are born, it is also beneficial for more children to be born. ”

"But why did you Qiao Quan suddenly say that he came back and came back, didn't he do a good job in the town?" In an instant, someone pulled the topic to another place, and Yang saw that the two concubines of Yue and Li understood what they meant, and shifted their attention with satisfaction, and talked about other things with those women.

With this foreshadowing in front of her, when Qiao Quan found Qiao Mutou two days later, Gu Banniang was not surprised, but felt that it was quite an honor for Qiao Quan to choose his own family. But then again, Man'er's little appearance is not good, wouldn't it be better to go out in vain?

Just as Gu Banniang hesitated, Xiao Li was moved by Yang's one or two pieces of silver. I don't know what was said next to Lee's ear. Li personally came to the downstream river sandy land and directly ordered Gu Banniang not to destroy the "brotherly unity"; Gu Banniang, who was originally trying to have a good relationship with her in-laws, had to endure the pain and give Man'er to Qiao Quan.

Fortunately, Qiao Quan followed Yun Ying to Qiao Mutou's house, picked up all Yun Ying's explanations on one shoulder, and Yun Ying put forward the conditions for Yuangen to study. He was responsible for teaching the arbors to clean the disgusting pigs.

At last. These two things were done in a bumpy way. It seems that Yun Ying has nothing to do with it in the middle, and before the start of the children's life test, Qiao Mutou's family and Yue's restaurant in the town really opened as he wished; Qiao Mutou also took Yuangen to register in the academy. After the county exam in September, I will be able to go to school as I wish.

A rainy day ended the heat of July and ushered in the harvest of August. Qiao's family didn't have rice, so the men went to the village chief's house to sign up to work in the fields of the Li landlord on the other side of Anlan Creek, and Qiao Yuanhong, as a man with a little knowledge of the Qiao family, had a greater task - to accompany Qiao Yuanfu and Qiao Yuangui to the county to participate in the children's examination.

The children's examination is only two days long, and the results will be released on the tenth day of August; Then Guan Ping will leave for the county to usher in the biennial county test.

Fortunately, there are so many things that are busy, and no one in the Qiao family knows that Yun Ying, Qiao Quan, and Qiao Qi have transported things to Zhenweiju again and again from the small road on the side of Anlan Bridge. After Yunying taught the people sent by Liu Er's shopkeeper what ratio to add salt, pepper and other flavoring recipes to the bean peppers, they made a special trip to find the two Liu brothers, and said that one of the seeds they found for her last time was rapeseed oil seeds, which are now in high demand and high prices.

The two of them were shocked, but they were not too surprised, and promised Yun Ying that they would help her collect some rapeseed before October, but looking at their expressions, Yun Ying also knew that this matter was a bit difficult, and after being disappointed, she regained her spirits and persuaded them not to worry.

After all, the money in her hand doesn't dare to move for the time being, what land do you want to plant if you have no land? And before the technology was mature, she didn't dare to rashly let the two brothers of the Liu family invest money in it.

Although the disappointment on her face was so hidden that no one could see it, Yun Ying, who went to Qishan Beizhuang after checking the small col without a single chili pepper, still couldn't help but complain in front of Lixia: "Brother Lixia, why do you feel so difficult to do something?" It's annoying to feel constrained. ”

The two of them were sitting in the pavilion in the valley at this time, and a whole set of tables and chairs were placed in the pavilion at the request of Lixia, and there were still hot tender corn, cornmeal buns, and a bamboo tube of cornmeal and corn rice with rice.

Lixia sat opposite her, still wearing the gardener's outfit she was used to, and silently took a cornmeal bun and took a small bite to eat.

"I heard that the small restaurant opened by my eldest mother-in-law and my stepmother in the town is doing well, and it seems that my Uncle Golden Egg is ready to buy a yard in the town. What do you think my grandmother will look like when she hears this? This time, there was no daughter in the family to calculate for them to sell for silver. But if my two cousins really passed the children's exam, the situation would be different. I really don't understand those people, is it more interesting than coming? Yun Ying broke the corn one by one and threw it into the pool. As she spoke, Yun Ying remembered Guan Ping, who was still in the academy and was going to get up to take the county exam in two days, and she couldn't help but want to laugh when she thought of the serious look on his young and old face:

"Actually, I'm not exempt from vulgarity, listening to them say so proudly one by one, I almost told them not to be too happy. Brother Guan Ping must be better than the two of them! Guan Ping walked directly from the town in the next two days, and when he went home to get the money the day before yesterday, he specially promised her that he would definitely be able to pick up the title of Xiucai this time, and listening to his tone, it seemed that he was planning to take the exam all the way.

Brother Guan Ping?

Lixia paused as he ate the cake, how many times had he heard this title in Yun Ying's mouth? Quickly glanced at Yun Ying, who was sitting opposite and smiling proudly, because of eating and drinking recently, Xiao Nizi's face became more round, and her little face was flushed very much like he had eaten Wangjing red apples. The apricot eyes were crooked, and the little beak kept moving and moving, and it was less and less like the thrush he had raised before, but he still found her interesting. If she didn't come to Qishan Beizhuang for a day, he would feel that something was wrong and he would have no strength to do anything.

He really wanted to ask who that "Brother Guan Ping" was? But Yun Ying's mouth was fast, and after saying this, he turned to the corn in his hand, sighed to himself a few times, and then looked up at Lixia pitifully and said, "Brother Lixia, will your master still grow corn in this valley next year?" ”

No! Lixia originally had the idea of fighting. Traditionally, this valley has been experimentally new plant species, and if they are successfully cultivated, there is no need for them to exist; Because the one who is going to get the golden tree only likes unique things.

"If I see your master, I will persuade him to continue planting, and not only that, but I will also advise him to expand the planting area. How good corn is, it is better than rice and wheat, and it does not delay things, and the yield is higher than these two, and it can fill the stomach as a staple food......"

Yun Ying's chatter started again, and Lixia suddenly opened Chrysostom: "I want to plant!" ”

"If you want to plant, you just have to plant. However, this year's harvest is so much, and it can't be planted completely, has Brother Lixia asked your master how to arrange these corns? Yun Ying followed a long list of words before finding that Lixia had opened his mouth again, and now he didn't have the initial surprise, but he paused and then asked, "I don't know what you planted after harvesting corn in this valley?" ”

"Empty." Under Yun Ying's scorching gaze, Lixia's silence really couldn't last long, and two more words popped out.

"Empty? What a pity to be empty? It's a pity that my rapeseed is limited, otherwise I would have planted your valley to the fullest, and I would have endless rapeseed oil next year...... Hehe...... "Thinking of the scene of rape flowers blooming all over the mountains and valleys, the grand occasion is not as spectacular as the cauliflower of Landlord Li's house, Yunying couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

"You plant." Lixia needs to organize his words before he says two words, but after all these days, he doesn't say it, and when he speaks, he will definitely make Yun Ying hear his full meaning at once. Without thinking about it, Yun Ying blurted out:

"I wanted to plant it, but there weren't enough seeds. I'll wait until someone helps me buy seeds from Mochizuki Province next year. "It's discouraging to think about it, this rapeseed is estimated to be strictly guarded by Mochizuki Kingdom, and the shopkeeper Liu is quite embarrassed; Hey, why is it a foreign product?

"Seeds?" Lixia raised her eyebrows, and a hint of curiosity appeared on her usually indifferent face.

"Oh, I almost forgot your hobby." Yun Ying looked annoyed, "I'll say okay first, I won't give you this kind of thing." Don't wait a minute, you plant it in a pot again. Do you know that one is one less to die? ”

Later, Yun Ying learned that Lixia's love for plant seeds is really laughable, I heard Uncle Zhen say that as long as he gets a flower seedling or a seed, he will first find a beautiful flower pot to plant, if he lives, he will live, if he dies, he will continue to find the same seedling or seed to change places and methods to experiment, until he finds a suitable method for its survival. This is the first time that he has planted corn on such a large scale and successfully after five years of research. (To be continued......)

PS: There are two more shifts at night! Ai Ai is unlucky, yesterday was halfway through the rainstorm; Ai Ai is lucky, took a hot bath and took medicine to sleep, although she is still a little dizzy today, but it can be determined that there is basically no major incident! Pay off yesterday's debts and continue to set off......
