Chapter 409, help
Yan Yan met Zhou Wan the next morning.
Zhou Wan came to her this time, firstly, to congratulate her on becoming a mother, and secondly, to ask Yan Yan for some methods of planting and transforming wasteland, which Yan Yan had promised her before.
It turned out that the Zhou family returned to the countryside this time, although there were still some fields at home, but it was only enough to feed and wear, and it was impossible to live the rich life before, for this reason, after Zhou Wan inspected the countryside for more than a month, she also wanted to learn from Yan Yan, and wanted to earn money to improve her situation through her own efforts, instead of waiting for the opportunity to fall from the sky.
It just so happened that Zhou Wan's father didn't want to stay in the countryside, he was so beautiful before, although he has not become a prisoner now, but this identity gap is enough for him to be embarrassed, and there are people who point fingers at him wherever he goes, so he has already moved away.
So, Zhou Wan negotiated with her parents, sold part of the fields in the countryside, and rented a house in the western suburbs of the capital with this silver.
"Do you really want to do something practical? Can you pull down this face? Yan Yan didn't believe that the other party could do it.
After all, Zhou Wan is different from her, Zhou Wan is an authentic official lady, and like Yan Yu and them, she looks down on farmers in her bones.
"Sister Yan'er, I won't hide it from you, the situation of our family can't help me to be willful, my younger brothers and sisters are still young, my mother has never suffered hardship, I am the eldest daughter in the family, I can't plan for this family earlier." Zhou Wan's eyes turned red.
The world is difficult and the people are warm and cold, she has a deep experience, not to mention anything else, every time she went to Lu's house before, Mrs. Lu and her aunt would greet each other with a smile, but yesterday she went to visit, the old lady perfunctory her a few words and left first with a headache, the aunt asked a few words about their situation, but there was no smile, and finally when she left, she wanted to give her some silver taels, but she didn't want it, she didn't go to fight the autumn breeze, she wanted to come to the capital, and she had to visit these relatives and elders.
Moreover, the Lu family has also contributed to her father's affairs, so she has to come to the door to thank her.
In fact, not only the Lu family, but also the Zhu family and the Qian family, none of these elders treat each other coldly, therefore, Zhou Wan is eager to change the status quo of her family, and does not expect her father to make a comeback, at least the family's life is guaranteed, so that they will not be regarded as beggars or autumn winds wherever they go.
Therefore, compared with these discriminatory eyes, what is it to pay a little hard work?
"But the income from farming is relatively slow, so let's do it at the same time, you also do farming, it just so happens that my family has a restaurant and a pastry shop, so I don't have to go to you to find a market." Yan Yan saw that the other party said so earnestly, and carefully planned for her.
The plan Yan Yan said was not verbal, but listed it to the other party one by one with paper and pen, what to do first and then what to do, a bit similar to a plan.
Because Yan Yan has experience in taking care of barren mountains, it is effortless to do, she suggested that Zhou Wan build a few houses before winter, you can start raising sheep first, and secondly, find someone who knows how to see what is suitable for planting in that barren mountain, whether there is a water source, and find someone to book seeds or saplings as soon as possible, etc.
Guessing that the other party might be short of funds, Yan Yan offered to lend the other party a thousand yuan tickets, "In this way, your things will also be sold to our family in the future, and this thousand yuan will be my deposit in advance." ”
As soon as she said this, Zhou Wan's eyes turned red again, "Sister Yan'er, since my father's accident, you are the second person who has not disliked me." ”
"The second? Who is the first one? Yan Yan was curious, and she suddenly thought of Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was willing to intercede for Zhou's father, and then personally sent Zhou Wan's family back to his hometown.
Who knows what to be afraid of, as soon as Yan Yan finished speaking, he saw Zhou Wan sniff, "The first one is the second cousin." Sister Yan'er, I know that there are many old feuds between you, I am not saying good things for my second cousin, I am just talking about things, just saying that in this matter, he is indeed much better than others. ”
"Then you, shouldn't you..." Yan Yan didn't say the latter words, for fear of being shallow.
"What should it be?" Zhou Wan didn't understand the meaning behind it, and looked up to ask.
"Nothing." Yan Yan didn't continue.
"Sister Yan'er, don't worry, you are you, he is him, I will not deliberately say good things for him, nor will I deliberately say bad things about him, the old grudge between you, I still think he can't stand you, but this time he helped me, I can't help but appreciate it, I hope my sister can understand me." Zhou Wan thought that Yan Yan was angry, and explained again.
"Did he know you were coming to me?" Yan Yan asked.
Zhou Wan nodded, "The second cousin asked me what my plans were in the future, and I said that I wanted to learn how to farm with you, and he looked at me like a monster for a while, and then said that he wanted to give me money, but I didn't ask for it." I said it's not a day or two, it's not a year or two, I can't just keep reaching out to others, right? ”
This was in line with Yan Yan's mind, but she thought of another thing, "You're not too young, didn't you say anything at home?" ”
Zhou Wan is fourteen, reasoning, this age should be said to be married, there are a lot of girls in the capital who marry in a year, and it is too late for Yunshang to drag it to sixteen, otherwise it will not be in a hurry to get engaged in a year.
Of course, Yunshang is also partly due to Chen Chen.
The Chen family finally fell in love with Xu Yu, the eldest princess of Jinyang, the Xu family hinted at by the Empress Dowager, and it is said that the two families have exchanged Geng posts.
Also, Yan Yan knew that Yan Tong and Wu Yan both had a favorite family, and Xu Ruqing and Meng Jing were also looking for comparisons.
Therefore, even if Zhou Wan wants to work hard to change the situation at home, there is not much time left for her.
"I said, before my mother entrusted a few aunts and aunts, saying that I would find a child of an official family or a child of a family with poor conditions, but there has been no news, and later, my father said, it is better to find a squire in the town, and my sister also knows that I am a high-spirited person, and I can't look down on those squires who don't learn and don't know how to learn, but I can find a scholar, people with good conditions don't look down on me, and if the conditions are not good, my family has no ability to support him, so I mean it's better to delay it for two years." Zhou Wan lowered her head as she spoke.
Seeing this, Yan Yan didn't ask her anything again, as long as she didn't look at Lu Ming.
However, with Zhou Wan's current conditions, it is indeed not easy to say that she is married, and with her talent and appearance, she is naturally unwilling to succumb to the countryside to be a small landlord's wife or something, but these official eunuchs in the city will categorically not accept the daughter of a criminal minister.
Unless, to be a concubine.
