He still wanted to tell her the news in person.
In this way, the Lin family should be satisfied with their efforts, right? Yang Guangbei gently rubbed the smile on the oil painting with his fingers, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a gentle expression.
Song Jie said: The Yang family is now a descendant and a top wealthy family. And his identity is a little subtle. The Lin family may not be willing to marry Lin Yijia to him. Although he was thinking that he would definitely split up in the future, there was no hope for the eldest princess of the Red Moon to split up a hundred years ago. If he wants to talk about the Lin family, he must make the eldest princess of Hongyue ten percent satisfied with Lin Yijia, and ensure that Lin Yijia will not be harassed by the elders in the mansion, so that the Lin family can be a little relieved to hand over Lin Yijia to him.
Song Jie also said: Yang Guangbei, you were too tuned in previous years, which caused you to be unknown in Shengjing, and few people knew anything except for one identity. In addition, the situation in your house is complicated, you must show 100% sincerity to Lin Yijia, and show that you have enough ability to deal with any situation in the future and protect Lin Yijia well, so that the Lin family will respond to this family matter......
β¦β¦
The half-acre field in the backyard really got a few good things.
The first thing I found was a pumpkin. This name is still the name that Mrs. Lin gave when she saw the fruit of the vine. The pumpkin vine climbs and grows, opens small yellow and white flowers, after the flower, bears green tender skin and flat round fruit, the fruit grows very fast, only a few days, it grows the size of the sea bowl. Because this pumpkin actually got a lot this time, Mrs. Lin asked people to pick two stir-fried to eat, and the family tasted it fresh, and also divided some of the two peasant women.
The small pumpkin is stir-fried, which is fragrant and delicious enough. Very tasty.
"Melon and vegetables for half a year, this pumpkin can bear so many fruits in one plant, it seems that it is not difficult to serve, the farmer orders a few under the root of the wall, and when the green and yellow are not received, they can also be half full." The two peasant women were very pleased, and when they saw the Lin family picking the unfinished melons again, they stared at them tightly, as if they were being picked the meat of their hearts. Mrs. Lin and the others were also very embarrassed, and after picking them a few times, they didn't pick them again.
"Wait for next year to grow a few acres, and eat as much as you want!" Mrs. Lin said.
The pumpkins grew quickly, and seemed to grow to the size of a basin in a few days, and the two peasant women had to measure their size with a rope ring every day. The pumpkin gradually stopped growing. The skin also turned from green to yellow, and it looked like it was about to ripen.
At this time, the two peasant women invited Lin Yijia instead, and allowed Lin Yijia to pick other green pumpkins to eat.
"Why is that?" Lin Yijia asked, "Isn't it going to be kept as seeds?" β
The two peasant women replied, "...... The force that this vine can exert is certain. On a melon vine, it is enough to leave a dozen or so seeds. No matter how much you stay, I'm afraid that the seeds won't grow well. It was wasted, and it affected the melons left behind before......"
Lin Yijia doesn't understand farming. In a trance, he felt that what the two peasant women said made a little sense, so he happily agreed-the one that was slightly bigger than a fist was the most fragrant and tender; But it's a bit wasteful relative to its future size; No matter how big it is, it tastes very good; The skin is yellow, and it is no longer suitable for stir-frying; When the melon is ripe, remove the yellow skin. The yellow-orange-orange flesh appeared, and the kitchen experimented with it. It is very sweet to cook, and under the guidance of Mrs. Lin, make the yellow meat into cakes and roll them in the oil pan, which is really a rare delicious snack, and it can also be a little full!
There is another crop that looks like sorghum, which was named corn by Mrs. Lin herself. The plant can grow more than one person tall and begin to bear fruit from the half-waist hour. Mrs. Lin still broke some tender corn to taste first, and after cooking, everyone divided half of it, which tasted glutinous and sweet, and it was also very good. But this time, the two peasant women were even more heartbroken, nibbling on the corn they had received while touching their tears.
"You guys ......" Lin Yijia was a little embarrassed to speak.
These two peasant women really love food crops, and she knows it. But that's not the case, right?
"Madam, young lady......" The two peasant women shed tears, "the pumpkin was just a melon vegetable, but this corn is a grain!" It's really food that can be harvested, hidden, and managed! And it looks much higher than the yield of sorghum! As long as we think that we will nibble on the next bite, we will plant a few fewer seeds in the field next year, and gnaw the next half of the roots, which is dozens or hundreds of corns! That's a lot of grain! β
Mrs. Lin was a little ashamed when she heard this, and said, "It's all my excesses." Rest assured, we will not touch any more corn in this field, but will keep it as seeds. β
"Thank you, ma'am, thank you, ma'am!" The two peasant women were very happy to receive the guarantee, and after they had finished the corn in two bites, wiped their mouths and hands, they immediately went back to the field to guard it.
Lin Yijia asked the two peasant women carefully, and only then did she know that corn was the real grain. Judging from their feelings, in the future, when the corn kernels are ripe, they will be rubbed down, dried, and ground up, which should be flour similar to sorghum flour, and when the time comes, they will be made into various pasta, which can be used as a family's rations. The taste should not be bad......
Finally, there are the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Mrs. Lin has in mind.
Because they found out that corn was real food and the yield was high, the two peasant women spent eight points of their minds on corn, and they really took turns guarding the dozens of plants day and night. In this way, there is a little less thought on these two crops, sweet potatoes and potatoes -
I haven't heard of the kind of real food crops that grow in the ground and eat roots, so they should all be melons and vegetables. No matter how good this melon and vegetable is, it is not as good as the grain. The two peasant women were very practical.
But that's it, when the day of harvest came, digging up the soil, and seeing five or six fist-sized potatoes weighing half a pound growing on the rhizome, the two of them were also red-eyedβalthough this is not comparable to real grain, it can be full when you look at this fruit, and this yield is really terrifying!
When Yang Guangbei arrived in Luzhou, it was the time when Lin Yijia chose a day with good weather and prepared for the harvest.
The Lin family, big and small, almost all went to the ground, wanting to see something strange.
Song Jie and Yang Guangbei arrived, and Liu Shenzhi actually arrived.
"Let's measure how much land each of these three crops occupies." Lin Shiqing didn't dare to despise these crops anymore at this time - these are things that can fill the stomachs of the people.
Someone immediately took out a ruler and went down to measure it, and filled in the booklet with the results accurate to the size. How many other plants were also filled in.
Lin Shiqing gave an order, and the two peasant women and several mothers-in-law began to pick up sweet potatoes and potatoes. There were not many of them, and a few of them quickly cleared all the gains, and the ridges were dug so deep that even the thumb-sized potatoes were not missed, and the clods of soil were finely twisted into powder.
Looking at the crops piled up in a pile, even people who have never produced are shocked-this is really the harvest brought by so many dozens of crops? I'm afraid that this mu yield ......! Everybody can count here. After coming up with a number in my heart, I was extremely shocked!
"Teacher." Song Jie and Yang Guangbei glanced at each other, and said to Lin Shiqing: "Teacher, what is the significance of these three crops, you also know it, teacher?" This is the merit of all peoples! There will be a big reward in the court! Students are willing to write this excerpt. β
A knighthood is a must!
Lin Shiqing turned his head to look at the delighted Mrs. Lin, her face was slightly complicated. He asked her softly, "Madam, what do you think?" With our own efforts, these three crops will not be able to be popularized until now, and with the attention of the imperial court, they will be different. β
Mrs. Lin frowned slightly, shook her head, and said, "If you didn't see it with your own eyes." But I believe that there are crops with a production capacity of 1,000 catties per mu or even 1,500 catties? The wheat is finely waited, and the yield per mu is only three or five hundred catties. The yield of rice is higher, and if there are six or seven hundred catties, it will be a bumper harvest year with beautiful soil and water, wind and rain......"
Everyone was silent.
The two peasant women still held the scales and weighed them over and over again, leaving aside the unharvested corn for the time being. Weigh it again, weigh it again, and feel like they're dreaming.
Everyone followed Mrs. Lin's gaze and quietly watched the two peasant women tossing and turning.
"I have to say. In recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth. Mrs. Lin said: "Nanshan, you really wrote the excerpt truthfully, but I'm afraid that everyone will treat you as hysteria...... And let's scatter the seeds to others. Do you think that the people, who have every acre of land, are willing to listen to us and grow a crop that they have never planted before? β
Of course not.
I've never seen it. I don't know if I can eat it when I grow it.
Mrs. Lin laughed and said, "In that case, why should we rush to promote?" Moreover, all these are made into seeds, and how many acres of land can be planted next year? So, it's too early to think about it or something. β
Song Jie nodded and said, "That's what my master said." β
When the harvest comes next year, it is appropriate to have a lot of witnesses. He can also invite officials from the household department who are in charge of agriculture and mulberry...... Seeing is believing......
Mrs. Lin seemed to see Song Jie's plan, shook her head and said, "Nanshan, let's not be in a hurry, really." You forget that everything that grows on this half acre of land belongs to your junior sister. She has been very interested in her food shop lately, and wants to make more money to play. It's all a rarity, and it's sure to sell for a great price at first! β
Mrs. Lin smiled at the corner of her mouth: "How could I let my daughter suffer?" As for promotion, you can rest assured that in this world, everyone is profit-seeking, especially the public who do not have much knowledge. If the potatoes are sold for a pound or two of silver, if we hold on to the seedlings, we can't let go, because we will be scolded very badly! And as long as these few things are famous, won't the court know? Ours will also have ...... Why bother to write any excerpts, as if we value the false name. β
Everyone was convinced and nodded their heads.
Lin Shiqing looked at Yan Yanyan's wife, and there was a lot of pride and guilt in his heart. His wife is so knowledgeable. And he ...... This seems to have been overlooked in recent years.
"Mother, these things can really be sold for a tael of silver and a catty?" When Lin Yijia heard her mother talk about her, her face turned slightly red, and she was not embarrassed, and she was busy asking her mother for advice.
"I ask you," Mrs. Lin did not answer directly, "If I have a dish made from something that has never been seen before, remember that it has never been there, and sell it for a plate of gold or two...... En," Mrs. Lin's gaze slowly roamed over everyone, and when she saw Yang Guangbei, she spoke: "Young Master Yang, you say, is the eldest princess of the Red Moon willing to taste this rarity?" β
Yang Guangbei hurriedly bent down and saluted: "It's good for my aunt to call me Xiaobei." He paused and said, "It's not so difficult to accept such a rare thing, buying a plate of gold for a tael. If you use it for daily enjoyment, the price of one tael of silver and one pound is just average. Even for the kitchen of Yangfu, such a price is relatively cheap. β
Indeed, it is very common for wealthy families to eat hundreds of taels for a meal.
Mrs. Lin did not continue the topic in this regard, but announced: "It is a great blessing to have these three crops appear. Everyone, will you stay for a light meal? It's just no wine and no meat. A few guests are also invited to take care of them. β
Song Jie and the others all said, "It's okay."
Somehow, Yang Guangbei accompanied Liu Shenzhi.
"Young Master Liu?" Yang Guangbei opened his mouth.
He always pays attention to the situation around Lin Yijia, and of course he knows Liu Shenzhi. The "life-saving grace" of Lin Yijia that he talked about with the Yang family was also inspired by a flash when he learned that Liu Shenzhi and Lin Yijia first met.
Of course, he knew that Elder Li was pulling the strings from it, and the Lin family did not object. And Lin Yijia ...... It seems that I have a good impression of this man who is smiling very fakely. And this year, although Liu Shenzhi did not formally propose marriage, he did not marry anyone else. He's twenty-five.
It's all for Lin Yijia.
At this kind of opposite moment, although you want to talk, whoever loses first. Yang Guangbei understands this truth, but he also understands it. Liu Shenzhi may not have known about his existence. So, he opened his mouth first.
"Dare to ask who this son is?" Liu Shenzhi is very personable. He saw that Yang Guangbei's appearance was extraordinary. Listening to Yang Guangbei's Shengjing accent again, and remembering that Yang Guangbei was brought in by Song Jie, and there was a faint look of the wind and dust of the journey, he regarded Yang Guangbei as the old man of the Lin Mansion in Shengjing, and passed by here to visit Lin Shiqing.
"My surname is Yang." Yang Guangbei said lightly.
Surname Yang ...... Sheng Jing Yang surname...... Liu Shenzhi suddenly remembered that Mrs. Lin looked at this one and asked about the eldest princess of the Red Moon just now, and this one replied indifferently...... It turns out that this one is from the current queen's maiden family! The Yang family is good at fighting. has always been in charge of eighty percent of the power of the Northwest Army! It is a well-deserved real power family!
Liu Shenzhi's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he said quietly: "It turned out to be Yang Gongzi." I began to think silently. Which son of the Yang family can match the one in front of him. Xingguo Gongzi or Wuxing Houshizi? Looking at the age, it seems to be almost the same......
"When I left Beijing, the cabinet was discussing the matter of Liu Ge Lao being knighted by Wenzhi." Yang Guangbei put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Since ancient times, it was difficult for Wenchen to enter the knighthood, thinking about what kind of merits and glory Wenchenggong had in his life, he was not knighted during his lifetime, and he only got the good word of Wenchenggong after his death, and the title was not passed on to future generations...... And Liu Ge Lao, to be honest, he is far from Wen Chenggong in every aspect! Does Liu Gongzi think right? β
Of course, Liu Zhi is not as good as Wen Chenggong. Liu Shen nodded with hatred in his heart.
"Moreover, I heard that ......" Yang Guangbei didn't look at Liu Shenzhi, and said softly: "When he was young, he abandoned his wife and young children for wealth and power!" β
The nails of Liu Shenzhi's hands suddenly pinched into the palms of his hands.
Yang Guangbei said lightly: "Heaven is really unfair, isn't it?" Liu Zhi is also such a morally corrupt person, he actually has a smooth sail, enjoys a lifetime of wealth and power, and has a full house of descendants...... And he will be knighted with Wen, and he will leave a name for eternity! It's so unfair! β
Not fair, of course!
He was rich and powerful all his life, but his grandmother was half hungry and half cold all her life by digging in the soil, washing and sewing!
He has a house full of children and grandchildren, and her grandmother is ......
Someone like him, why!
And grandmother, father, and him, Liu Shenzhi, why should they starve and be poor! Nothing!
Liu Shenzhi's smile turned cold, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves, and he gritted his teeth before making a normal sound, and asked, "What does Yang Gongzi want to say?" β
"I love Miss Lin Liu, and my family will come here to propose marriage a year ago." Yang Guangbei said calmly.
Liu Shenzhi was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately.
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't worry about anything." Yang Guangbei didn't care if Liu Shenzhi didn't respond, and said to himself: "But Uncle Lin has a high moral character, and Miss Lin is happy and peaceful...... I'm not afraid to tell you, if the two of us stand together, Uncle Lin and Miss Lin Liu may not choose you with a simple family background and a gentle temper. I, on the other hand, don't like to have any variables in this matter. β
Liu Shenzhi listened very carefully, and then he had that smile as warm as the spring sun. He looked at the sky lightly and said, "Young Master Yang doesn't have to worry. I'm not here to discuss marriage with the Lin family. The wife I expect is gentle and generous, who puts me first in everything, and who can wholeheartedly help me stabilize my death. β
"Miss Lin Liu has a good heart and high aspirations, I appreciate her and respect her...... But if you want to live together as a husband and wife, you will not succeed. Liu Shenzhi said admiringly: "She will never give up her own interests because of marriage." Young Master Yang. Do you know this? β
Lin Yijia will never be a woman who is willing to be locked up in the back house and take care of trivial things. Although she never said it, everyone knew it in their hearts. She's not going to be like that, it's just, it's going to ...... Impatient.
"I'm willing to accompany her to do whatever she wants." Yang Guangbei's tone was light, but there was no question.
Liu Shenzhi was very shocked, looked at Yang Guangbei several times, and then solemnly bowed to Yang Guangbei: "Young Master Yang, Liu admires." β
The expression on Yang Guangbei's face eased slightly.
He said to Liu Shen: "Let's talk about Liu Ge Lao in a while." Seeing Liu Shenzhi's face change slightly. He said: "Don't worry, I just can't get used to seeing him abandon his wife and children, and he can still live a glamorous life." β
Glossy and glamorous, it is generally used to describe a woman.
Yang Guangbei described Liu Ge Lao like this, obviously because he was very disgusted with his people in his heart.
Liu Shenzhi did not refuse, and nodded.
Since childhood. Grandmother's suffering, father's suffering, the suffering he has endured...... Think about it again, how can he not hate it! He hated it too much, and he was afraid that his hatred would distort his mind and become a person who was as hated as Yanagi, so he read the scriptures over and over again. Over and over again, I have practiced the warm smile I see today!
It's just that that Yanagi is also high. Let his hatred not find a place to fall!
Since this Yang Gongzi was willing to help, of course he would not refuseβif he really loved Miss Lin Liu, he would certainly not make a deal with it. He was meant to quit......
Lin Yijia didn't know the gossip between Yang Guangbei and Liu Shenzhi.
She saw these two men with very different temperaments walking together, and nodded far away, which was greeting. And the two looked like they each stopped in her mind for a moment, and then left again. Lin Yijia consulted with Mrs. Lin again.
ββJust now, my mother's words were really extraordinary, which made her feel deeply. There's a lot to learn from my mother.
Because of the filial piety of the Lin Mansion, everyone really simply used a vegetarian meal.
Meal. Yang Guangbei asked to see Lin Shiqing and Mrs. Lin.
ββ¦β¦ The little nephew wanted to expect her response, but the little nephew was worried about more variables. Knowing that she didn't hate her little nephew, time waited for no one, so her little nephew didn't want to wait any longer. When I came, I had already asked my grandmother's consent, and in mid-October, my little nephew and second aunt, the Duchess Xingguo, would come to Luzhou in person to ask for marriage. β
Yang Guangbei's tone was sincere, making it difficult to refuse.
And what he said, even Song Jie was surprised - what kind of family is the Yang family now, what is the identity of the Duchess of Xingguo, how could she agree to come from afar and personally come to the Lin Mansion to ask for marriage! How could she do this for Yang Guangbei!
He originally thought that it would be the Lin family who moved their family to Beijing, and the Yang family sent official media to the door!
That's a long way off!
After Lin Shiqing and Mrs. Lin glanced at each other, Mrs. Lin asked, "Xiaobei, we all know your intentions. It's just that I don't know how you said about moving your parents? This is important and I hope you answer honestly. β
They couldn't think of why the Yang family made a face to Yang Guangbei. The Lin family is no longer the Lin family when Wen Chenggong was born. And if there is anything wrong, it will affect Lin Yijia's life in the Yang family in the future, and they have to be cautious.
Yang Guangbei said what he had done, thought and thought: "...... Uncles and aunts can rest assured that except for a few people such as grandmothers, no one else knows the identity of Miss Lin Liu. They won't reveal it until the matter is settled. β
Yang Guangbei said carefully, Lin Shiqing and Mrs. Lin still heard something inappropriate from it - the old lady felt sorry for her eldest grandson and would help him plan their letter, but why did Yang Erye and Yang Sanye cooperate so much?
However, they didn't ask any more.
As long as they knew that no matter what Yang Guangbei's situation was in the Yang Mansion, Yang Guangbei had the ability to protect their daughter from being bullied - they had already taken a fancy to Yang Guangbei at this time, so they agreed to this family business.
Since she had the heart to agree, Mrs. Lin didn't twist Qiao. The smile on her face became kind, and she said happily: "Okay, Xiaobei, you send a message back and say that we should go down to the family business!" Our Lin family is not the kind of person who deliberately takes Qiao, after the filial piety, our husband and wife will go back to Shengjing to live for a while, and at that time, we will be in the Lin house on Changping Street to welcome the Duchess of Xingguo.
