Chapter 126: The Little Grandpa Has Fallen
"No, don't you say that your grandmother has no heirs?"
"Who knows, anyway, when my mother knew that I was coming, she told me to be clever and take care of me more. My mother won't hurt me, right? β
The brothers of several clans usually play better, and they will not deliberately cheat anyone. Since the other party said that he knew the news from his mother-in-law, others would definitely not be suspicious, and at most they would lament why they were so unlucky.
"Then again, why are you going to help Seventeen Niang bully people?"
The one who was beaten the hardest snorted twice and squeezed a sentence out of his teeth.
"Seventeen Niang wants to marry Qin and Jin with Zhennan Gong."
The brother who heard this rolled his eyes widely.
"Is this something she can do if she wants to? Not to mention that the ancestral training does not allow the girls in the family to have anything to do with the royal family, let's just say that the embarrassing position of the Zhennan Mansion, what kind of crazy person did she want to marry? Also, can she do it if she wants to? Zhennangong said that he wanted to marry her? β
"Isn't this because I didn't say it, and then the news came that Wei Jin had an ambiguous relationship with the little grandfather of Zhennan. No, she just wanted to teach Wei Jin a lesson, so that she could see her background and status clearly. β
"Hehe, what about you, fool?" Hearing this, the brother who drugged him rolled his eyes again, "People are the life-saving benefactor of the little grandfather of Zhennan, even if the little grandfather wants to marry her, it is a matter of course." β
The more ugly words didn't come out of his mouth, but listening to the two words he muttered, the others understood what he was talking about.
The beaten man lay on the bed and looked like he had risen to heaven, and the others were also a little annoyed.
They were hot-headed at the time, and they were picked up by Seventeen Niang, and they thought, "Yes, why can a country girl from one of your branches ride on the head of our main branch lady", and without saying a word, they promised to help give her some good looks, so that she knew that she had to be a man with her tail between her legs when she got to the main branch.
But they think it's beautiful, and people don't come to them at all. Defy? Then hit you until you serve!
I didn't dare to beep even after being beaten, and a group of boys couldn't beat a girl...... Don't they want to lose face when they say it?
Wei Jin, who didn't know all this, carried a horsewhip and wore men's clothes to take people to the market.
The customs of the north are different from those of the south, and even the crops produced in the fields are very different.
Earlier, I learned in books that "oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei, and they are oranges in Huaibei, and the leaves are similar, but the taste is different." So what? The water and soil are also different". At that time, there was only a concept, after all, in her cognition, as long as you want to eat, the Great Northeast can still eat coconuts.
But this trip to the south and north has given her a lot of knowledge, and a lot of knowledge that has only been accumulated in her mind before has also been compared with reality.
"Su Xiao, go prepare the horses, let's go out of the city and go to the farm."
The orange farmer said that his family was in Qianzhuang, ten miles outside the city, where oranges and sugar beets were abundant.
Before, Xizhen's cane sugar made a lot of money, and even the state government intervened, ordering Zhang Cun and the mayor of Xizhen to partner in the sugar business. The sugar introduction was also bought by the state government to dredge the relationship.
With such good conditions, it is too much to play in the southwest and northwest, and she plans to let Zhangcun's business develop to the north, at least to cooperate with the businessmen in the north, so that the north and the south can communicate smoothly and the financial resources will be wide.
I took a few people out of the city and ran around the farm outside the city, and even found a few dishes made by a random farmer at the farm for lunch.
"True son, the land here is really wide." The young man who was walking in a circle behind him was eating, and his eyes still couldn't get rid of the exclamation, "We have never seen such a vast land over there, how much grain do we have to grow!" β
"It's different." Wei Jin sat on the side with Su Xiao and ate at a large table, "The north has a long winter, only one season a year, and although there is little land in the south, there are two or even three seasons a year, so there is no shortage of food in the south." β
It's just that most of the food channels are now in the hands of the Duan family, and a small part are in the hands of several other families, which makes it seem that there is a slight shortage of food.
In addition to crops, there are also special orchards and animal husbandry, and in general agriculture is more developed in the north than in the south. Most of the money accumulation in the south came from trade, trade with the Central Plains, and trade with the islands of the South Seas.
Wait until the afternoon to finish the rest of the small half circle and return to the city, it is almost time for dinner.
Fifth Uncle Wei found someone to deliver the letter and asked Wei Jin to go to him to talk.
If you go to Uncle Five's side, you will definitely have to change your clothes, as well as the food that is not common on the market that I went out to buy today.
Su Xiao took two brothers and accompanied Wei Jin into the courtyard where Fifth Uncle Wei lived. In addition to the fifth uncle, there are two half-hundred-year-old men, two middle-aged scribes and two female dependents.
Wei Jin saluted to everyone, and generously handed over the gift prepared for the fifth uncle to the fifth uncle's servants.
"This is what I saw when I went out with Su Xiao today, it's not a valuable thing, just look at it novel and fun."
The fifth uncle was not polite, and directly asked people to put away the things and introduced the identities of the others to Wei Jin.
Wei Jin's attitude was respectful but not intimate, and when she faced the elder who had specially explained that she was going to take her to the Northland, Wei Jin's expression was a little lighter.
The other party was also a little uncomfortable, and when he heard Wei Jin calling someone, he stroked his long beard and nodded, looking at his nose and nose.
Wei Jin sat down and didn't speak, with an expression of "you have something to say, I'll listen", and the room was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Ah Jin, about those boys, the fifth uncle has already taught them a lesson for you. These guys are just a little unconvinced, your brother......"
Wei Jin smiled and didn't talk.
Fool whom? Not convinced? When she was a three-year-old child. These guys are all targeting her openly and secretly, and even use her and Sihua's reputation as a raft, if it weren't for Wei Zan and the fourth uncle and four aunts, Wei Jin would have the heart to kill them.
Seeing that Wei Jin was silent at all, the fifth uncle only felt that his head was as big as a fight.
"If you don't want to go to the Northland, don't go, I'll ask Brother Xu to send you back when you go back."
The fifth uncle also broke the jar and fell. Wei Jin was bullied and put on his daughter, he had already gone to the other party's house with a knife to seek justice, so he bullied Wei Jin had no parents and his brother was still young.
"Old Five, what did you say about this?"
Someone next to him was angry and stopped Uncle Wei's words.
"Originally, anyway, my aunt and grandmother have arrived, and after what should be said, the change has been done, and I don't necessarily have to go to the master's house. What's the matter, do you think you can bully people casually when you get to the master's house? β
The fifth uncle's chubby face turned away, and he squinted at his brothers.
"Fifth brother is angry, how is this possible." A middle-aged scribe came out to play a round, "The patriarch is also waiting to see Ah Jin, so I can't go half of the way and go back." β
Fifth Uncle Wei also vented, and after humming twice, he didn't speak.
Wei Jin sat in a proper manner, did not speak, did not glance at his eyes, and let them discuss like an outsider.
The two ladies exchanged glances, and they had a hunch that this little girl would not be as good as her husband wished.
"Ahh You have been wronged. The younger woman sat down and reached out to take Wei Jin's hand.
She was stunned for a moment, and quickly hid the surprise in her heart.
Doesn't it mean that this girl is a peasant girl, and she usually has to do farm work? But these hands are delicate and silky, more tender than the hands of many girls who are often popular girls in big families.
Look again at the skin on the back of your hand. Wei Jin's hand is from the wrist to the fingertips, the skin is delicate and white, the nails are trimmed round and smooth, and the fingertips are powdery. Tender. The tender ones are not painted with dancΓ΄me, but they are not inferior to their red and bright hands.
Compared with Wei Jin, the color of the back of her hand is not as fair as hers, her skin is not as delicate as hers, and even her knuckles are not as well-proportioned as the other party. It's really not better than not knowing, who is ugly and who is embarrassed.
No matter how carefully you look at Wei Jin's face, you can't tell whether she has applied grease and powder, her complexion is so fair and delicate that she blows up, her cheeks are slightly rosy, and her beautiful apricot eyes are slightly picked, as if she was born with a smile.
With this appearance, it is no wonder that the little grandfather of Zhennan fell in love at first sight, compared with her, Seventeen Niang is better than her.
Anyway, Wei Jin's appearance of not refusing or not cooperating also made these elders have nothing to do, so they could only find some topics to talk about for a while, and compensated her for a few young people, and then sent her back.
As soon as the people left, several people stared at each other in the hall, and they dispersed after watching for a long time before they had headaches.
When they returned to their rooms, the younger couple sat next to each other for a while, laughing wryly in unison.
"This Wei San girl is really not simple. The others were inevitably trembling when facing several old brothers, but I didn't seem to be at ease at all. β
"No desire, no desire." The young scribe shook his head and sighed, "After listening to what the fifth brother said she had done, I knew that this little girl was bold and careful, and she could afford to support her family. β
You can see it from the gift-giving. It's not a valuable thing, but it's all carefully collected, and only the fifth brother has it.
If you are someone else, at least you have to be able to get by on face, and you will prepare a small gift somewhat. People don't say they don't give it, what else can you do? Swearing is not sensible? Or are you looking for someone to ask for a gift?
"My aunt and grandmother have already come, why haven't you seen her yet?"
Hearing his wife's curious question, the young scribe shook his head in confusion.
"Grandma should have her own arrangements, forget it, let's leave it alone, tomorrow you and your sister-in-law will go to your aunt's side to serve." She is an old man and her body is not very good, so she doesn't know how uncomfortable she is when she goes out this time. β
Wei Jin was also curious why the grandmother hadn't summoned her to meet her yet.
"You say, is that old lady going to give me a dismount? Shall I wrestle with you? β
Su Xiao sat on the branch, one foot curled up, one foot hanging down and shaking constantly.
"Come on, you, this old lady of the Wei family is not ordinary, we have heard her name in the south."
Su Xiao's mother is in the same place as the old lady's former husband's family, so Su Xiao really knows more about this old lady than others.
"The old lady is really a ruthless person. When her husband's family suffered, a pair of children did not know life and death, it was she who took her husband's family to keep the foundation, and then the danger passed, she decisively handed over the power to her uncle and returned to her parents' house. β
"I admire her, but that doesn't mean I have to accept her arrangement. In fact, when I agreed to go north, one was the fourth aunt who threatened me, and the other was the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle and Brother Azan, they were all good to us, and I thought that most of the people in the main family were like them. Now it seems that I was wrong, the nobles of the family are born with a kind of arrogance in their bones, but I am lucky that I have met no one before. β
"That's not what I said. It can only be said that your appearance touches the interests of other people. β
Su Xiao grew up in the Su family, which is also an incredibly big family, and he doesn't know too much about these dirty things.
"What do you think the little grandfather's stepmother did? Why do you think Seventh Brother is guarding Zhangzhou City? The foundation of my Su family is not Zhangzhou. If it weren't for looking at the little grandfather, the seventh brother would have ...... a long time ago."
A touch of cruelty flashed across his face, making Wei Jin look at him in astonishment.
"I thought...... Could it be that your Su family still wants to attack Xiaoya? β
"The little grandfather's mother is the young lady of the Su family, and there are more than one or two people competing with her for the position of the grandfather's wife. Solve the little grandfather first, and then solve the stepwife, and then they or their daughters will be on the throne, isn't it simple? β
The two chatted for a while, and Wei Jin went back to sleep. Su Xiao lay on the tree and looked at the sky for a while, and finally it was so cold that he went back to the room and planned to sleep with his head covered. As a result, I found someone when I went in, and I was almost scared out of a cold sweat on the spot.
"Little, little grandfather, fifth brother, why are you here?"
"The little grandfather is worried about the third lady, tell me what's going on?"
Sima Ji's face was not very good, but after hearing the news, he rushed from Zhangzhou to this side overnight, day and night, and he was afraid that he would fall down in one more day.
Su Xiao didn't say anything about it, and told everything he knew.
"Little grandfather, it doesn't seem to be a big problem now, you go to rest first, and wait until you see the third lady tomorrow. If the old lady of the Wei family sends someone to invite her, I will be responsible for blocking them first. β
Although Sima Ji began to prepare when he heard that Wei Jin was going north, he also set off in advance. But when Taizhou heard that Wei Jin was deliberately embarrassed, he couldn't help but be furious, and rushed away directly with people. I didn't even care about Mrs. He's arrangement.
The next morning, sure enough, Mrs. Wei sent someone to invite Wei Jin to come over to meet. Before Wei Jin could agree, Su Wu appeared directly in the side hall and interrupted Wei Jin's words.
"Brother Xiaowu, why are you here?" After speaking, she frowned, "He's here too?" Isn't this nonsense? β
Under normal circumstances, Zhennan Gong could not leave the Zhangzhou area without an edict, he came overnight like this, thinking that there was no summons from His Majesty, this is not to send his life to others?
Seeing Wei Jin's forbearance of anger, Su Wu was happy for Sima Ji. However, he did not show it on his face, but showed a worried expression.
"Third Miss, please go and see my little grandfather, he rushed over day and night, he just arrived yesterday and collapsed, and he hasn't woken up yet."
When Wei Jin heard this, he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and he didn't care that there was still the Wei family beside him, and he walked out of the side hall with his skirt.
When Su Wu stepped out of the door, his head tilted slightly, and he showed a sneer at the Wei family.
