109. The parties inquired
"Everyone is hungry, I'll go make something to eat, fill my stomach first, it's almost dawn," the smile on the corner of Xie's mouth was full of hope for the future.
For her grandmother, she is grateful in her heart, it was Grandma Yu who helped Yan Lian when she was the most depressed, and she didn't fulfill her heart as a mother.
And she really loves Shi'er, Yanlian, and even Qiu'er and Xiaojie, in exchange for what she said: There are no children in this life, and when she sees children, she can't help but want to hurt well.
There is such an elder in the family, and she likes it too, so the family gets along very well. In addition, now that Ying Xiang'an's heart has changed, she feels that she has great expectations for this day.
"Mother, I'll help you," Ying Yanqiu still had a tael of silver in her arms, which her mother wanted her to keep as her own body, and her heart was still beating fiercely.
"No, we'll go back," Ying Fuan immediately refused.
After taking the money and eating and drinking here, how can I go in my heart?
"Uncle, are you polite to my mother? You've been tired for a night, so we'll sleep after eating something, and we'll have to dig up the dirt in the backyard and the soil that was pulled away by others! "She sells the mud in the field for a very high price, hehe!
"Okay, Yan Lian, my aunt won't be hypocritical with you, if there is anything in the future, even if you open your mouth, as long as you can free your hand, your aunt will definitely not say a word," Tao Ziniang took Yan Lian's hand, and was extremely grateful in her heart.
If nothing else counts, you can get a tael of silver for just one night's work, which is not something that can be found randomly. This night, her family earned four taels of silver, which others couldn't believe it.
"Okay, I'll just wait for my aunt's words!" Yan Lian also took this sentence casually.
Everyone including Shi'er was tired and went to rest, but Yan Lian didn't. She went to Fang's house and told Fang's family that she wanted them to pour all the soil they dug up when they were reclaiming the mountains into her backyard, and then help clean up the backyard and give them a tael of silver.
When Fang Shi heard this, he directly shook his head and refused, because Yan Lian had given so many good things at the beginning, they were still reluctant to go, how could they do something and ask for so much silver.
"Fourth aunt, it's not that I have to give so much, but because I ask others to do it, it's the same. When you pass, you will know why I did this, and besides, I still have things for you to help me in the future, "She is a peasant woman who wants to be a businessman, unlike mixing in the affairs of the capital, so farming is the most important."
Fang and Ying Xianglin glanced at each other, looking at each other, not knowing whether they should agree or not.
Under Yan Lian's persuasion, for the sake of their daughter, the two had no choice but to nod.
When they came to the backyard of Yan Lian's house and saw the messy backyard, they were all stunned, thinking that something was happening here.
"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt," Yan Lian saw that doubts flashed in their eyes, so she explained with a smile: "Here, all the ones that were planted before were ginger, and the ones that were not pulled out over there were all ginger ......seeds," Zhilu said their confusion, Yan Lian did not explain, but continued to say: "It was because of the trial planting before, and you were clearing the wasteland, so I didn't call you...... Now, all the ginger here has been sold, and the land you have cleared is far away from the village, so I want you to keep some land to grow ginger, and after planting, I will sell all the ginger."
"Swallow...... Yan Lian, this ...... What can this ginger grow up to now? Fang stammered, reaching out and rubbing his eyes, still a little incredulous.
"Hehe, it's actually very simple, when the time comes, I'll tell you and the fourth uncle, you can plant," this method, sooner or later, she will have to say it, but she wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune first.
"Really?" Fang looked at Yan Lian with joy on his face, his eyes full of hope.
It must be true, "Life can be better when there is hope."
"Yan Lian, you say, what you ask the fourth uncle to do, the fourth uncle will listen to you," Ying Xianglin didn't understand Yan Lian's intentions at this time, he was really an idiot.
"Last night, we didn't sleep all night, we were all cleaning up, and we were afraid that the noise would be too loud during the day and attract the attention of others...... Father and mother are resting, so here, let's trouble the fourth uncle and four aunts to clean up first, and when they wake up, they will come over and do it together," she did this just to find out if the fourth uncle and four aunts were dissatisfied because of their previous concealment.
"Okay, you go to rest first, we have cleaned up the ginger leaves here, don't worry!" Ying Xianglin patted his heart and assured.
After Yan Lian handed over the matter to Ying Xianglin and his wife, she began to go back to the house to sleep, because she really couldn't bear it.
The bedding in the house was touched, because Hang Qingqing couldn't stay up late, she rested in her own room yesterday and left in the morning.
Now she doesn't care about any cleanliness, she just lies down by herself. Shi'er was taken away by Yan Qiu and slept with her.
Here, the people of the Ying family are all paralyzed on the bed and falling asleep, over there, Beichenqing and Beichenao can't rest - Hang Qingqing was sent back to Beichen Mansion, these two brothers, one entered the palace to make a report, and the other cleaned up the rest of the soil.
The people Beichen Ao is looking for are all trusted by himself, because he still wants to eat the remaining ginger in Ying Yanlian's hand - according to her meaning, from now on, the ginger in her hand will not break.
He didn't know what would happen in the future, but for now, Jiang was the most important thing to the people in the capital and the people in the north.
In the imperial study, after Beichenqing asked for peace, he truthfully told what happened last night, and suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "That Ying Niangzi also said that the ginger that has not been removed from the leaves will be planted in the soil she gave and transported to the north in a wooden barrel, and in the future, I will not be afraid of no ginger." ”
"What do you mean?" The emperor's heart moved, and he asked with a little surprise.
"That is to say, all year round, as long as you don't pull it all out, this ginger will be endless, and it won't break," Beichenqing understood the emperor's excitement, because after he knew the Tao at that time, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"How much money did it cost?" The emperor did not grin, but a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a deep voice.
"A cart of soil with all the ginger cost a total of five hundred taels ......," the ginger alone is more than five hundred taels.
If it was Beichen Ao, he would not sell such a scarce thing without a few thousand taels. But Ying Yanlian didn't have a lion to open her mouth, this woman is really incomprehensible.
On the way back, the three of them kept talking about Ying Yanlian, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.
“…… It's only five hundred taels ......," the emperor muttered in a low voice......
"Your Majesty, the five hundred taels are the silver that bought Jiang Dinghao before before, only the soil and the method were specially opened by Ying Niangzi, and neither the minister nor the minister opened his mouth to ask," These words are equivalent to saying good for Ying Yanlian, but why do you want to do this, Beichenqing himself does not understand.
"Beichen Aiqing, do you know Lu Dao, the day before yesterday, I went to Guquan Village ......," the emperor looked at Beichen Qing and said leisurely.
"What?" Beichenqing looked up at the emperor in shock, with a puzzled expression.
"At the beginning, you took what Ying Niangzi said as a joke, what happened in the court before, so I was touched, so I paid a private visit and went to Guquan Village, do you know what Ying Niangzi was doing when I went?" He values the two Beichen brothers very much, not only because their father was kind to him at the beginning, but more importantly, the two brothers are really capable and have the same heart.
"The minister doesn't know," Beichenqing heard it, the emperor was full of curiosity and a little admiration for the lady, and his heart suddenly swelled - this country woman is really not simple!
The emperor stood up, left the dragon chair, walked to the side and said: "She squatted on the ground at the head of the village, sighed that she had wasted good land, and told me that if she could grow grain twice a year, this land would not be wasted in vain."
"Twice the grain ...... Your Majesty, how is this possible? Beichenqing lost her cool for the first time, and her face was full of shock.
He is an important minister of the court and a pillar of governance, which of course knows what is the most important thing. In a country, the most important thing is food, the food of Qin is far from enough, and it looks stable on the surface, but if there is any natural or man-made disaster, it will be followed by turmoil in the country.
Not to mention the Qin State, even the Jin State is the same as other countries, and the most lacking thing in every country is food.
No one wants natural or man-made disasters to happen, and what they are afraid of is that it will cause a lot of turmoil.
"Just because you think it's impossible doesn't mean it's impossible, doesn't it?" The emperor understood his shock, because he was also shocked at that time.
"What should I do?" Beichen asked in a deep voice, knowing that Ying Yanlian had already entered the eyes of the emperor, and it was still very important.
"Send someone to protect her, don't show up until her life is in danger," this little woman has too much to do with it, he has to protect it well, but he can't alarm her.
"Yes, the minister can do it!" Ying Yanlian, you are really not simple.
To home.
Xiang Lanxin, who returned to Xiang's home, was not arrogant in Beichen Mansion, and some were humble and careful.
"Daddy," she was inexplicably called back, her heart going up and down, feeling that something had happened that she didn't know what was going on, and her face flashed with horror and unease.
"Where did Beichen Ao bring back the fresh ginger?" Xiang Nanmu, the master of the Xiang family, looked at his daughter and asked bluntly.
When Xiang Lanxin heard this, she immediately shook her head in confusion and said, "My daughter doesn't know, Beichen Ao doesn't allow her daughter to follow at all," On the surface, she is the most favored in the Xiang family and Beichen Mansion, but she doesn't know that she is really pitiful.
The Xiang family used her as a tool and asked her to marry Beichen Ao so that she could control all the business in the capital. And in Beichen Mansion, my aunt helped her and said that it was for the Xiang family, but in fact, she wanted to control everything in Beichen Mansion, she didn't want her to fall into the hands of others after a lifetime of glory, even if that woman was her son's daughter-in-law.
"Didn't you follow them? You can't even do this little thing, what's the use of staying in Beichen Mansion? Xiang Nanmu glared at her fiercely and asked.
When Xiang Lanxin heard this, he trembled in his heart, and knew very well that his father was giving up on himself by saying such things. None of the girls who were given up to the family had a good ending - so she must not be given up, absolutely not.
"Dad, this matter was done by the Hang family, and the person who sold ginger was familiar to the Hang family, Beichen Ao and Beichen Qing both said that if there was no Hang family, this matter would not be done!" Xiang Lanxin hurriedly grasped this point, and said eagerly, fearing his fate in his heart, hoping that with this, he could dispel the decision in his father's heart.
"Hmph," Xiang Nanmu didn't know that Beichen Ao not only got fresh ginger, but also solved this method once and for all, so he was still dreaming, wanting to grab this credit from Beichen Ao's hands. "In that case, you should know what Lu Dao did...... If you can't do this well, Beichen Mansion, you don't have to go, let your third sister go! ”
Xiang Lanxin's body trembled, bit her lip slightly, and said tremblingly: "Yes, my daughter knows what to do!" ”
She is already past the age of Jilu, if she can't marry Beichen Ao, the result waiting for her is to be a concubine.
She is the concubine of the Xiang family, because of her aunt's relationship, when she goes in and out of various mansions, who doesn't give her some face, if she is really a concubine, she will not have a bright future in this life, and she will always be suppressed by Hang Qingqing.
Over the years, in order to get rid of the family's mercy, I wanted to firmly grasp the proud ...... of Beichen But the tighter he pressed, the more he fled, even if he gave him a fatal drug, he would rather escape from the house and fight to the death than with her, who can understand the bitterness and pain in her heart.
This time, she must succeed, otherwise, she can't imagine her worst result, and she will also be despised and ridiculed by the third sister Xiang Wanxin.
Many people were inquiring, but Beichen Ao kept his mouth shut, and no one could find out the arrival of fresh ginger from his mouth - that batch of ginger, within the fastest speed, was arranged to escort out of Beijing and sent to the northern .......
Where there are people, there is struggle, let alone in the court where there is intrigue.
The crown prince is undecided, and the assignment is fighting, each with its own support, but Beichenqing has always been sincere to the emperor and has never wavered. And Beichen Ao is not valued at all, because he did so just to save his eldest brother from being punished by ......the emperor.
Because of this, people from all sides wanted to win over Beichen Ao and Beichenqing, but they never found out where the fresh ginger shipped to the north came from. Some people follow the traces to look for it, but out of the capital, in that direction.
Because of Yan Lian's deliberate hiding, almost no one in the village knew about Lu Dao, and the two families who knew Lu Dao would definitely not tell anyone, so the people assigned to it couldn't find out any news at all, as if those fresh gingers came out of thin air.
Because of this, many people's eyes fell on Beichen Ao...... Because he didn't get married.

Well, I was lazy and entangled again, because I lent money to others, gave more but didn't count it clearly, and I was extremely depressed...... Tomorrow morning update the rest.
