Chapter 51: My name is Erya
Yang Dewen also asked Xiaoyue to go to Beijing with Yurong, and it was convenient to have a familiar person to be with, at least to have a chat partner.
To Yang Dewen's surprise, Qin Xiaotian was also sent to the capital.
"Xiaotian, why are you suddenly going to enter Beijing? Why didn't I hear you say that. Yang Dewen pulled Qin Xiaotian aside and said.
"I don't know about this, it was arranged by my father and mother, and even I was depressed, do you think I want to go to the capital?" Qin Xiaotian said very unhappily.
"Your father or your mother didn't tell you anything, such as what to do in Beijing." Yang Dewen asked in disbelief.
"Alas! My father said that I should go to study in the country, although the children of the royal family do not need to rely on the imperial examination to become officials, but they can't have no water in their stomachs. Qin Xiaotian explained honestly.
"I don't think it's that simple, I just want you to study, what did you do earlier, you're fifteen years old, and you should be sixteen next year, it won't be for you to get married in the capital, be honest."
Yang Dewen suddenly remembered that Qin Xiaotian had passed the age of fifteen, and it was time to get married.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, in the 21st century, he was just a kid who had just graduated from junior high school and was about to enter the first year of high school.
But in this world, the Great Qin Empire, including any surrounding countries, has come at this time, and it is time to get married.
"Big brother! Can you be a little stupid, don't be so smart, how can you see through everything at a glance? Qin Xiaotian said with some tears in his eyes.
In fact, Yang Dewen just said it casually, purely guessing, but I really didn't expect that he would guess one by one when he said it so casually.
"Okay, no kidding you, isn't it normal to get married and marry a daughter-in-law? Didn't your eldest brother come over like this, isn't he doing the same as your sister-in-law now? Yang Dewen said with a smile.
It's just that Yang Dewen's smile, in Qin Xiaotian's eyes, doesn't look like he has good intentions.
"How is that the same? You and your sister-in-law have grown up together, they are very familiar with each other, and they know each other, and they have already established a relationship foundation.
But until now, I don't know what the woman who will marry me in the future will look like, let alone understand what kind of character she is. Qin Xiaotian said depressedly.
"Then you can rest assured, how can a girl who can be worthy of you not be beautiful?"
"Actually, I don't really care if it's beautiful, as long as she's not a rude daughter, everything doesn't matter."
"Since you also go to the capital, then the eldest brother will be much more relieved, when you get to the capital, don't let people bully your sister-in-law." Yang Dewen said solemnly.
"This word can still be said by the eldest brother, in other words, after arriving in the capital, the sister-in-law was confirmed as the princess, that is my cousin, you say I want to call her sister-in-law at that time? Or do you call her sister? Qin Xiaotian suddenly thought of this question.
"Well, you can do it yourself, do you want to call me big brother? Or do you want to call me brother-in-law? Yang Dewen also felt a little big and said.
After Yu Rong, Xiao Yue, and Qin Xiaotian went to the capital, Yang Dewen suddenly felt very bored.
With the concerted efforts of all parties, the selection of the top ten benevolent people every month is in full swing.
The large amount of money donated has played a huge role in helping the victims survive the cold winter.
The victims of the disaster were finally calmed down temporarily, but these can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.
If they can't find a way to earn a living, the problem will only get worse if next year continues to be a disaster year.
The soaps and soaps produced by Youranju, as well as various fruit wines, are in short supply in the market, but because lard is really limited, even mutton fat is used instead. It is also very limited, which seriously restricts the production of soap and soap.
Probably God has made enough trouble, after entering the winter, several heavy snowfalls have fallen in various parts of the Qin country, with the snow water after these heavy snow melts, moisturizing the dry earth, and the spring sowing work after the year will be greatly beneficial.
As long as it lasts for another three or four months, after the summer harvest, if there is a favorable environment and a bumper harvest of grain, the problem of the victims can be completely solved.
Yang Dewen still has more than 1,000 acres of fertile land outside the city, after the Spring Festival, Yang Dewen often goes out of the city early in the morning, sometimes does not come back at night, and lives in the village, the original landlord left in the house.
It wasn't until Yang Dewen suddenly appeared that the farmers suddenly discovered that the owner of their rented land was so young.
Yang Dewen carefully sprinkled the vegetable seeds suitable for spring planting in the ground, and covered them with a thin layer of straw to ensure the temperature of the seeds.
There are many vegetable seeds in it, which are not found in this world. It was not taken carelessly by Yang Dewen.
Especially the corn and sweet potatoes that I stole at the beginning, which cannot be replicated, are the only source of seeds.
In order to ensure absolute safety, Yang Devon was still careful, leaving a small amount of each seed.
In this way, even if it is really a failure this time, it will not be a chance at all.
A few days later, Yang Dewen walked to the seed field, carefully opened the straw covering the ground, and finally showed a smiling face, the seeds had sprouted, and even the tender yellow leaves could be seen.
In order to be absolutely safe, Yang Dewen chose the seed land in the house where he lived, and the land in the house was about half an acre in size, which was used by the owner at that time to grow vegetables, and the land was very fertile, which was conducive to Yang Dewen's breeding work.
"Master Yang, the meal is ready, it's time to eat." A young girl from a village village stood on the ground and shouted at Yang Dewen.
"Got it, I'll be right away." Yang Devin replied.
Because he basically doesn't live in the village, except for Uncle Zhong, Yang Dewen didn't take his female dependents to the countryside.
This girl from the Zhuang family is named Erya, as for the name of the girl? Of course, Yang Dewen won't ask.
Erya was just found by Yang Dewen to do some housework, including cooking, and sometimes some changes of clothes for her to wash.
Erya is notoriously beautiful in Zhuangzi, but this is not the reason why Yang Dewen chose her.
In fact, Erya is one of the few people in the village, a few people who can read, she once made a ring in the original landlord's house, and she is a girl who is ingenious and flexible.
In the past, the rich man's family invited a teacher to teach, and Erya's job was to stay in the study, waiting for the young master to read, after a long time, and Erya was also willing to learn hard, Erya knew a lot of words, and when he had time, he would also use a branch to practice words on the muddy ground.
The old landlord moved away for a few months, and Erya was unemployed for a few months, but Yang Dewen, the new landlord, did not appear for a year or a few months.
When Yang Dewen appeared in the village, Erya's mind moved. Courageously, he took the initiative to walk into the house of the former landlord.
In the past, many people in the village envied her, because she didn't have to farm, but her annual income was much higher than their income from farming.
Especially in the last few years, there has been a drought, and the harvest has been getting worse and worse year by year.
Although Erya's family has no harvest, with Erya's income, the family will not go hungry.
Originally, after the old landlord left, even if Er Ya had no income for a few months, he would not be too sad.
But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the grandfather who loved her the most fell ill, and after spending a little savings in the family, the old man closed his eyes and died.
After taking care of the old man's death, Erya's family was completely in trouble.
The eldest sister has been married, and in addition to her parents, there are two younger brothers and a younger sister in the family.
The family wants to eat with their mouths open, and they really can't stand this day, and Erya's father wants to sell Erya to others as slaves.
But Erya insisted on refusing, Erya knew that selling herself as a slave was not like her being a maid ring for the landlord's family, it was to be a lowly person.
However, this insistence, if there is no accident, he will not be able to hold on for long, after all, Erya can't bear to watch, several younger brothers and sisters, crying and shouting for food hungry.
Just when Erya was already in despair, the new landlord Yang Dewen finally appeared in the village.
"Master, my name is Erya, I used to work in the owner's house of this house, I can do laundry, cooking, sweeping the floor and wiping the table, serving tea and water, I will do all this." Although Er Ya was a little nervous, she still said everything she wanted to say fluently.
"Do you want to come here and continue to work? What else would you do? Yang Dewen was very surprised that in this kind of rural village, there was such a forward-thinking girl.
Such a person who takes the initiative to look for a job and tries to recommend himself may be very common in the workplace of the 21st century.
But what happens in this world is not ordinary at all.
What's more, the other party is just a girl, a girl who should not be more than fourteen or fifteen years old.
"I can also read and write, and keep accounts." As for his own ability, even the former landlord did not know.
"Can you still write? How many words can you write? Yang Dewen asked curiously.
Yu Rong can also read and write, that's because he accompanied another Yang Dewen and went to private school together, and Yu Rong can recognize and write not many words.
"I don't know." Er Ya shook his head and said, "Because I haven't counted carefully." ”
"Then in your village, can you write the names of everyone?"
"Hmmm! Yes, I wrote quietly on the ground. Erya nodded affirmatively.
