Chapter 23: The Way to Make Money (I)

"I heard that Axiu girl is from a neighboring village, the female celebrity is exquisite, beautiful and gentle, and when my brother told me about her, his eyes were about to glow."

Zhao Xiuqin hadn't heard of this person, but when she heard that her son had fallen in love with a good girl, she was happy in her heart: "The silly boy has finally opened his mind, get married early, and let me take my grandson." Alas, you don't know if you don't go out, those mothers-in-law and aunts in the village have grandchildren in their arms. I don't have anything, they talk amiably on the surface, and they don't know how to laugh at me behind their backs! ”

"Mother, my brother's marriage hasn't been left yet, where do you want to go."

Fang Tian reminded Zhao Xiuqin when she said this, she stood up straight, pulled her legs and walked out: "I remember that the aunt of the Liu family was married from the neighboring village, and I will go to ask her about the Axiu girl, if it is really as good as your brother said, our family should prepare a bride price as soon as possible." ”

Fang Tian watched her gradually walk away, sighed, the arranged marriage in feudal society, the words of the matchmaker of her parents or something, she really couldn't adapt to it, if she wanted to get married and have children in this world in the future, she would definitely have to fall in love freely.

Fang Tian took out the strange seeds he bought in the store yesterday from the house, and planned to turn over the soil and plant them.

Even though he was a doctor of agriculture in his previous life and had studied countless seeds, flowers and plants, Fang Tian couldn't recognize the origin of this kind of seed, and he didn't know what could be grown.

Fang Tian picked up a seed and looked carefully in the sun, only to see that the outer skin was dark and shiny, oval and flat, and half of the fingernail cover was small, no matter how you looked at it, you couldn't tell what kind of plant seed it was.

I just don't want to think about it, as the saying goes, practice makes true knowledge, and if you want to know what kind of plant seeds are, just plant them directly in the soil. If this kind of child is still alive for more than ten years, it will always sprout and take root, and if it is already dead, it will be regarded as spending money to buy a notebook, and it will not be a loss.

Fang Tian searched for a cool and damp place in the flower garden to loosen the soil, and then planted the seeds he bought.

"I don't know what it can grow."

Fang Tian muttered to himself, picked up the hoe and planned to go back to the house, when he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name.

It was an old lady of fifty or sixty years old, with a face full of wrinkles and spots, holding a basket in her hand, and smiling: "Lan girl, do you still like to grow flowers?" ”

Fang Tian rummaged through his memory, and remembered the identity of this old woman in a vague impression, she was a relative of Zhao Wenxuan's family, when she was sticking to Zhao Wenxuan in the past, she had seen her, and scolded her for being shameless.

Fang Tian's face was not very good, he snorted coldly, and he didn't bother to greet her.

The old woman is old, where has she ever suffered such a grievance, so she covered her chest immediately, and her old face was red with anger: "I'll just say, what rules can a girl crying and shouting about being a concubine for someone else's family have, and she can't even say hello when she sees the old man's face, what a fool." ”

In the past, in order to please Zhao Wenxuan, Fang Tian never lost his temper in front of him, when this old woman pointed at her nose and scolded, she tried her best to endure it, but now it is different, she has changed her soul, and she doesn't want to please anyone.

So he shook his face without any psychological burden: "Look at whose territory I stepped on under my feet, whose hoe I am holding in my hand, and whose seed I planted?" ”

Without waiting for the old woman to reply, she asked herself and replied: "It's all mine, not yours, why do you care if I plant flowers or not?" Do you always have a heavy taste and put too much salt in your dishes, and you are in a panic? ”

"You, ......." The old woman was choked by Fang Tian's words, and she didn't say anything for a long time, and finally flicked her sleeves and snorted coldly, and went in the direction of the Zhao family.

She muttered as she walked: "But you can plant two flowers, what are you doing with your little hooves, how can you get rich by planting flowers?" If the flowers were really valuable, the flower farmers who planted flowers in the next town would have become rich! ”

"I'm, at me!"

An old lady carrying a basket through the alleys of the village tread through the mud, repeating two or three swear words in her mouth, and occasionally two or three children passed by her, casting strange glances, and she pursed her thin mouth and glared at her, so frightened that the children screamed and ran away.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Huang happened to come out of the door, and when he saw this scene, he was stunned.

When the old woman saw her, she immediately restrained her anger and wrinkled her old face: "Sister-in-law, do you remember me, we have met." ”

Of course she has seen it, Zhao Huang's face is a little ugly, she recognizes this face, even if she is very old, the years have added wrinkles and turned her into an old and rickety lady, but she still recognizes it. It was a distant relative of the Zhao family, and they hadn't been in touch for several years.

When the Zhao family was in trouble, none of them refused to help, but now they suddenly came to the door, I am afraid that they heard that Zhao Wenxuan was going to marry the daughter of the big family in the town, so they came to curry favor.

If it weren't for the gift she was carrying in her hand, Zhao Huang might not have allowed her to enter the door.

"If there's something, hurry up and leave when you're done."

Since Zhao Wenxuan was admitted to Xiucai, many big families in the township have taken a different look at him, especially the king in the town, who wants to marry his daughter to him, and even the marriage has been decided.

Previously, in order to express his sincerity, and in order to let his daughter not have to suffer after marrying, Wang Yuanwai gave a sum of money for Zhao Huang to renovate the house, and now when the distant relatives came, the house had been completely renewed.

It's just that the host's pie is not worthy of this house, and when the guests enter the door, they don't even have a glass of water.

This snarky can't be blamed on Zhao Huang's family, before their mother and son were helpless, distant relatives and close relatives refused to help them, they had suffered from others, and now they have gained power, they must have the intention of getting rich.

The distant relatives stood in the room nervously, their eyes wandering into the courtyard.

I just happened to see the orchid that Zhao Huang hired someone to dig up the mountain a few days ago, and couldn't help but smile: "Do you want to make a fortune with this orchid?" ”

Zhao Huang followed Fang Tian's example and went to the mountains to dig orchids, but she didn't know flowers and plants herself, and the people on the mountain didn't know flowers and plants.

Before I went, I had a good plan for a good orchid, and I dug up dozens of orchids, but no one cared about them when I sold them, and I didn't even earn back the capital of employment.

It is said that it is just a common orchid, and no one is willing to buy it at a high price, and Zhao Huang's family is not willing to sell it at a low price, so they are all piled up in the yard and let the sun dry.

"Sister-in-law, when I came just now, I saw Fang Tian on the side of the road, she was also planting flowers, I asked casually, she actually insulted me, what an uneducated wild girl!"

Isn't it? As soon as Zhao Huang talked about Fang Tian, he was also full of anger, he had already discussed that he wanted to marry and be a concubine, and from then on, he served her as a cow and a horse until he died, and after jumping into the river to commit suicide and save him, he was like a different person.

The Zhao family was originally proud, and all the unhappiness recently was due to her.

"Don't you know, some time ago, her father accidentally soiled when he went to the town to return the goods, my daughter-in-law's clothes, the clothes are worth a hundred taels of silver. Their family couldn't take out so much silver, but the cheap girl didn't know where to find a pot of orchids and sold it for 200 taels of silver, which allowed their family to escape the catastrophe. ”

Two hundred taels of silver, the distant relatives listened, and only felt that they couldn't lift it in their chests.

For an ordinary family of three, ten taels of silver is enough to eat and dress for the whole year, and two hundred taels of silver is a large amount that ordinary people can't earn for five years without eating or drinking.

No wonder Zhao Huang thinks about orchids, even if she herself can't help but think more.

"What kind of person would spend two hundred taels of silver just to buy a pot of orchids?"

Zhao Wenxuan only told his mother about the two hundred taels of silver orchids, and never mentioned the matter of Mr. Weiyun in the back, it was a thorn in his heart, and he was very embarrassed, even if it was his own mother, he refused to say it.

"I don't know who bought this orchid, anyway, it's just a rich person," Zhao Huang said, his brows furrowed, "Or those rich people are idle and feel that there is no place to use the silver ticket, so they burn money to buy orchids." ”

"I also want to do this orchid business, but unfortunately I don't have the brain, so I can't do it."

Distant relatives are very self-aware and dare not try things that they are not sure of.

"Fang just came over and saw Fang Tian planting flowers, presumably he planned to put more thought into this aspect in the future."

What kind of person is Fang Tian, in Zhao Huang's heart, their Fang family will always be one head lower than their own family, they just fell in love with their son's talent, thinking that they could take them to heaven in the future.

Zhao Huang straightened his waist and said word by word: "Their family will never be able to compare to my family, they just took a fancy to my family's Wenxuan's talent and knew that he would definitely be able to win, so they stammered our family." ”

Distant relatives have also heard about the Zhao family and the Fang family, and when they talk about it behind their backs, they say that the Fang family is not a thing, and they have to flatter on the surface and say: "Yes, the Fang family is just a nest of villains." Especially that Fang Tian, she doesn't pee to take pictures of what she is, and she dares to think about Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan will be lifted in the exam in the future, where can she climb high, and only the smart, beautiful and virtuous young lady of Wang Yuanwai's family can be worthy. ”

"And ah, you can't make money by planting orchids at all, and you know that there is a village in the next town that specializes in growing flowers and plants, if planting orchids can really make money, then their village will not be so poor that they can't eat."

Zhao Huang listened happily and turned to the kitchen to make tea.

Where did the distant relatives dare to stay, pulling her to prevent her from leaving: "Forget it, don't bother, I just think of your family, just stop by when you catch the market, just sit for a while and leave, don't bother." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Huang obviously didn't believe it, "If you have something to say, say to me, our two families are relatives, you came to see our mother and son and brought gifts, it's not good for you to not even have a cup of tea, you just sit and wait for me, just come." ”

When Zhao Huang came out with tea, his distant relatives were still in his position, holding his hand nervously, looking around with a pair of eyes, the poor and sour appearance made Zhao Huang's mood very happy, and he even wanted to hum a little song.

"Sister-in-law, in fact, I came here to ask you for something, I heard that your son was admitted to Xiucai, and the king in the town is blue-eyed, so I thought, let him say a few good words outside the king, and arrange a job for my family in the cloth village."

When Zhao Wenxuan came back from outside, he happened to meet distant relatives, and he was a little puzzled for a while.

"Yo, Wenxuan is back." The shabby-dressed old woman hurriedly stood up.

Zhao Wenxuan agreed without being salty, and didn't even give her a look.

Knowing that she was not welcome, the old woman's face was a little ugly, and she said two or three more words to Zhao Huang, and then left in a hurry.
