In the current mountain village, Mai Wang is in charge of the autumn ploughing and manure, and digging canals; Mak Yonghai moved to his new home to supervise the progress of the house; Mai Xiaofang and Tang Yujun took office as new officials, and stayed in the processing workshop dutifully every day; Mai Xiaohuan looked at the fresh vegetables in the greenhouse he had built, and counted on it to make money to live a fat year.

Being able to eat fresh food in winter is indeed a miracle for the people of Tongbei County or Qingcheng County. In the past, in addition to cabbage and radishes, which were basically not green in winter, only a few wealthy people or officials in Qingcheng County had small greenhouses at home, and they could eat fresh vegetables a few times during the New Year.

Now there are truckloads of vegetables on the market, not to mention, there are many varieties that have never been seen before. Qingcheng County is a rich place again, and of course Mai Xiaohuan will make a lot of money.

There are a total of 10 conservatories in the villa, and there are four or five layers of wooden shelves in them, and silver naturally pours in. Shan Cuihua looked at the whole box of silver ingots, and said that the excited words were not good. Mai Xiaofang didn't feel anything in the face of ten taels of silver, she had saved two gold ingots herself, that was true love!

"Mother, put away the money quickly! You watch it every day, but you haven't seen enough! If you don't let the second brother come back with a few gold ingots, that one is much better than silver. ”

The silver makes me so excited that I can't eat well and sleep, and if I have gold, where should I put it?

Mai Xiaohuan thought of another thing: "Mother, my promise has been fulfilled, you and your father will follow me in the future, and you are not allowed to go back to Shaxi Village to farm." ”

"Then let's go back and stay for a few days! In the spring, I want to fix up the house over there and tidy up the yard. Mai Wan discussed with his daughter, now the daughter is the master of the family, and he and his daughter-in-law must admit defeat in the bet.

knew that his father was still thinking about Shaxi Village, and Mai Xiaohuan couldn't bear to let them completely lose contact with that side, so if they wanted to repair the house, then go and repair it! However, Mai Xiaohuan reminded the two of them that it was too good not to be trimmed, so as not to worry about others.

Who this other person refers to, everyone knows very well in their hearts, and Mai Wan promises that he will not. He just wanted to strengthen the house a little, plastered the adobe wall with white plaster, replaced the roof with green tiles, and raised the courtyard wall a little higher, so that there was no one at home, so that he could rest assured.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming again, it seems that he can't go back this year, so Mai Wang asked his son to go to Pingliang County and his hometown, and sent fifty taels of silver to each side. Several other relatives have prepared New Year's gifts, each of which is ten taels of silver.

"It's not a long-term solution! Your eldest brother has all the children, and he can't always reach out and wait for the silver flowers, we have to find a way to find him some livelihood. "The children in the family are all fine now, only the eldest son has nothing to do, since there is a dividend of money, he simply stays at home with his wife and children, and does nothing.

After thinking for a while, Mai Xiaohuan asked the second brother to ask when he came to his house, buy him some land in Pingliang County, build a greenhouse, and learn how to grow vegetables, so that he should be able to make a lot of money by supplying restaurants and rich families in Pingliang County every winter.

Everyone agreed with this idea, but when Mai Yonghai came back, he told them with a black face that the eldest brother didn't want to grow vegetables. Under Chen Hanting's instigation, he wanted to open his own restaurant, and said eloquently that there was no reason for his family to be so rich and let himself eat in the field.

As the boss and opened a restaurant, Mai Xiaofang took a "puff" very unceremoniously, and the money her sister earned was all earned from digging in the soil. Even if she has money now, she hasn't thought about opening a restaurant by herself, and besides, her eldest brother's temperament is not suitable for opening a restaurant at all.

"I just don't know what to do, leave him alone, with that pair of sisters and brothers, don't buy anything for him, don't let the things that Xiao Huan worked so hard to get in the end be occupied by others." Shan Cuihua said angrily that the eldest son was too ignorant, and he was several years older than his younger siblings in vain.

Mai Wang also made a decision to ask the Dou family to send him five taels of silver every month in the future, and the name was for his grandson, and several other people had hands and feet and wanted to spend money to earn it themselves.

The eldest brother has fully inherited the advantages of his grandmother, he is selfish, he just wants to think about himself and does not think about others, and he has no ability to be biased. Mai Xiaohuan didn't want to squander his hard-earned money for them, since he didn't accept the method he proposed, then toss it himself! She also told her father and mother that before Chen Hanting left his eldest brother to set up his own business, she must not buy them an industry, otherwise they will all have to be taken away by Chen Hanting.

The busy New Year has come again, after this year Mai Xiaofang is fourteen years old, and Mai Xiaohuan is already twelve.

If nothing else, Xiaofang's family affairs can be settled this year, Tang Yujun has mentioned more than once that his father and mother are going to visit. Yonghai is also sixteen, and a girl with a good family should also set a family affair for him, Xiao Huan doesn't have to worry about it, guarding such a big family business, he will definitely find a good family, Shan Cuihua thought beautifully.

Qu Hao went back to the capital for the New Year, Mai Xiaohuan bought a lot of things for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he used to dip his own light, but now he finally has the ability to repay one or two, of course, he must prepare gifts with all his heart.

"Do you have anything you want to give to the county lord or the prince of Yue?" Qu Hao asked as he left.

No need for it! How can people look up to this little thing of themselves! Besides, these two people who are not in the same world as themselves at all, Brother Qu can't even remember it if he doesn't mention it.

Knowing that it was a vain question to ask, Qu Hao said goodbye to the Mai family and boarded the carriage. He walked for a long time, and Mai Xiaohuan patted his head regretfully, he should ask Brother Qu to return the box of jewelry to Zhou Yue, so that he really has nothing to do with him.

Capital

A spacious and luxurious carriage was parked at the gate of King Chen's mansion, and a young man with a handsome face and an expensive face lifted the curtain and sat in.

"Wait, since it's to enter the palace, it's good to take a carriage." A man with a little fat figure and a short beard chased him out, and his son's carriage was specially built by the queen mother, which was much more comfortable than his own.

"Let's go." Zhou Yue knocked on the wall of the car, ignoring King Chen, who was getting closer and closer, and asked the coachman to set off immediately.

King Chen, who had already run to the door, watched his son's gorgeous carriage pass in front of him, and he was so angry that he wanted to scold the street.

"In the eyes of people, there is no father like you, my stepmother, I still take my own carriage, although it is a little old, but sit comfortably, rest assured!" Princess Chen, who arrived later, asked her to drive her carriage over.

The Queen Mother was too partial, and bought countless good things for that Zhou Yue, and summoned him to the palace every once in a while to talk and eat with him. His son didn't say anything, and he didn't see them summoning him all year round, and the queen mother and the emperor didn't seem to have this grandson (nephew) at all.

That's not a good idea! That Zhou Yue has not had a strange illness since returning to Beijing, and the Queen Mother sent the imperial doctor to watch it every day, and his illness disappeared so suddenly. Princess Chen was terrified, but she lost the right to be in charge of the family again, and that Concubine Li and Zhou Yue were in the same group.

I have also thought of many ways to make him ugly and make mistakes, but he is not like the prince at all, neither greedy for beauty, nor does he like to linger outside. On the contrary, it is his own son, who has a lustful voice at a young age, and he is simply carved out of the same mold.

Today, on the first day of the new year, the queen mother and the emperor must not be happy to give him the position of the prince, then he and his son will not be able to move an inch in the palace of King Chen in the future. That Zhou Yue must have known everything he and Mama Li were doing behind his back, could he not think about revenge?

After entering the palace, King Chen ran to the Queen Mother to sue his son, and he didn't let his father take the new carriage, which was a big rebellion.

The Queen Mother looked at her son who was fighting for things like a child, and she was extremely helpless, and at the same time, she felt extremely guilty. At that time, the queen mother, that is, her own cousin, entrusted the crown prince to herself when she was dying, and in order for him to ascend the throne smoothly, she devoted all her efforts to the current emperor. When the dust settled, I looked back and wanted to care about my own son, only to find that he had grown up and grown crooked, everything was already a foregone conclusion, and his son had already become a handsome, handsome, and ridiculous little prince in the capital.

Not to mention that this son made the palace like a garden, he recruited cats and dogs in the capital every day, and swaggered through the market, so that he and the emperor had to send someone to keep an eye on him, just to give him a person to deal with the aftermath.

The queen mother chatted with her son for a while, but she was thinking that it was time to ask the emperor to mention the position of the prince. Yue'er has nothing to do with his body, he is a hundred times stronger than his father and the king, exercise for a few years, and then marry him a virtuous and dignified wife, you can support the palace, and the son will continue to find his beauty and walk his cats and dogs.

Zhou Yue went to the emperor after seeing the queen mother, he didn't want to confront his father, seeing his childish behavior now, Zhou Yue couldn't help but think of the situation when he just arrived in the lotus courtyard and met Mai Xiaohuan, most of the time he was like a gambling child, it is estimated that the girl also dislikes herself!

Listening to the reports of her subordinates, she is now a mixed wind and water, not to mention shrewd business, she still has the talent to farm, and a piece of sandy land has miraculously turned into fertile land in her hands...... No wonder she refused to go to Beijing with her, no wonder she had the confidence to confront herself. Zhou Yue also admires Mai Xiaohuan from the bottom of his heart, she is indeed a capable and different little girl.

Now that the person who was spying on Mai Xiaohuan had been withdrawn by Zhou Yue, he wanted to wait for the next time they met to see what kind of surprise Mai Xiaohuan would bring him.

The emperor is very satisfied with this nephew, he has no habit of being a fool, he is serious and responsible, and his ability is stronger than that of ordinary royal children, but he is a little inconsistent with his father's aura.

"Nephew is here for you as a New Year's gift." Zhou Yue took out a few neatly folded pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to the emperor with both hands.

After reading the above content, the emperor has become not calm, and if the things sent by his nephew are used in the army, it will help him a lot.

"Say it! Whatever reward you want, as long as Uncle Huang can give it, it will satisfy you. ”

Zhou Yue smiled, those things that should belong to him, he wanted to take them back.
