196 Interest
"You girl, you're not greedy at all." Mrs. Lin smiled with relief.
Lin Yijia smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and turned to look at Lin Jiakang's paintings. Perhaps because of the recent twists and turns in his family, Lin Jiakang has become much more calm and mature, which is reflected in his painting skills, that is, his paintings have gradually shed their childish meaning, and his painting style has matured.
He's already famous.
Lin Yijia looked at it for a while, admired it in her heart, and thought: In another three or five years, will his younger brother become a generation of famous masters? Well, at that time, he can have a good life selling paintings......
After watching the sunset, the group went down the mountain.
On the road, the beasts roared, walking between the mountains and forests, and their faces couldn't help but change. Behind Lin Yijia, Lantian shrunk his neck, looking left and right, for fear that a tiger and leopard and other fierce beasts would suddenly rush out of the mountains and forests next to him.
Lan Si was a master of art and bold, walking back and forth beside Lin Yijia to prevent any accidents.
The guards were scattered in the forest from front to back, left and right, and they shot a lot of prey. The slope of the hill was a little gentle, and at this time many wild boars came out to feed, and after the guards had no trouble killing two of them, the rest did not move, and even if they met them in person, they only drove them far away.
The further down you go, the more you can meet the mountain people who go into the mountains to hunt, and they can catch a hare or something, and there are few empty-handed people. Seeing the Lin family and his party, they all took the initiative to avoid it from a distance.
"Relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, the life of the people here is quite good, right?" Mrs. Lin asked.
Lin Shiqing nodded: "The main reason is that the climatic conditions here are very good, there are few major disasters, and it is still okay to fill your stomach." And the fields here are uneven, and the real magnates don't look down on them. Therefore, the land is not serious, and the people are very good. β
"But hunting is dangerous, and the land is too scarce, and a family can have about ten acres of land to wait. But the production of this land is really limited...... Once the family has a large population, there is no way, and there are also children and daughters. Lin Shiqing added.
"Hmm." Mrs. Lin asked, "After all these years of recuperation, Daxian has indeed a large population. Is there no other way? Shiqing, I remember I told you. Do Westerners have a very high yield of crops? β
"You're talking about sweet potatoes?" Lin Shiqing frowned slightly and said, "I haven't forgotten, I'm just ......."
For the yield per mu of sweet potatoes described by his wife, that number is extremely scary, Lin Shiqing doesn't believe his wife, but he really can't believe it! I just thought my wife was hearsay. Mistaken! Therefore, when he was in Guangzhou, after Mrs. Lin let the overseas fleet pay attention, Lin Shiqing did not pay attention.
"You don't believe me?" Mrs. Lin raised her eyebrows, and there was some anger in her words, "You don't believe it!" Lin Shiqing. I thought you, even if you didn't believe it, you'd find it and verify it. After all, it is a matter of thousands of people's stomachs, and if there is a glimmer of hope, you have to work hard, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously at all! I misread you! β
When Lin Shiqing saw his wife, his face became serious: "Is there really such a high yield?" The first few times the fleet didn't find the sweet potatoes you mentioned, this time the fleet should have arrived in Guangzhou, and I told them to keep a point for all the seeds they don't know, and we'll look at them all when we go back. β
Dr. Lin realized that he was annoyed by mistakeβit wasn't that he didn't care. It's that something hasn't been found yet...... Mrs. Lin said, "Shiqing, think about it. Since the rumors say that the yield per mu of the crop is so high, even if it is exaggerated, we will discount it, and it will be an incredible yield. Moreover, I heard that sweet potatoes can be grown anywhere without picking the ground......"
"I see." Lin Shiqing said: "I believe that this time the fleet will definitely have a harvest." I'm just free at the moment, so I'm here to catch this matter. β
"Well, you just take it to heart." Mrs. Lin said no more.
The group went down the mountain, and until after dinner, Mrs. Lin was still a little unhappy with her smile. After dinner, she beckoned Lin Yijia and asked her to accompany her for a walk nearby. Not far around the foot of the mountain, there is a small stream that flows sparkling.
"Mother is still unhappy about sweet potatoes?" Lin Yijia comforted softly: "Dad is not inactive, he doesn't believe you." The problem is that there are no sweet potato seeds found now, and my father is helpless. β
"Yi'er, when I was in Guangzhou, my mother actually made people pay a lot of money to those Westerners." Mrs. Lin said: "The merchants are very profitable, I think, they should have brought that crop a long time ago, but I have never received any news. β
"Why? It's just that after we left Guangzhou, no one took my words to heart, only because I was on a whim. Mrs. Lin's expression was a little gloomy: "If I were a man......"
She said these last words very lightly, so lightly that she didn't want Lin Yijia to hear them. Lin Yijia's heart was shaken, and she subconsciously bit her lip - she is as happy as her mother, and there are times when it is difficult to calm down! Say something like "If she's a man"!
"This world is so unfair to women." Mrs. Lin exhaled a long breath, as if she had forgotten what she had just said, patted Lin Yijia's hand, and said with a smile: "So, my mother really hopes that you can have someone you love...... Well, I'm not afraid that love is wrong, but I'm afraid that I haven't loved. Love is wrong, and start all over again, my mother will always support you. β
Lin Yijia was even more confused by what Mrs. Lin said: Mother, what's wrong? I haven't gotten married yet, why don't I even put the word "harmony" on my lips! Did your mother forget that harmony and separation are the most difficult things in the world? Even if it can be successful, then all kinds of ......
Lin Yijia didn't know how to talk.
Mrs. Lin also seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and said: "Mother doesn't know why today, her heart is very chaotic, if she says the wrong thing, Xiaoliu, you can't remember to listen to it." Alas...... "Could it be that I have been living so smoothly over the years that I have forgotten where I am and trying to seek some self-worth?"
It's a broken head!
As long as her family can be safe and happy, she cares about other people's houses leaking and no food!
But...... I didn't expect my little daughter to be ambitious. Seeing Lin Yijia's ability to make a lot of money and do good things in Qingfeng Nian, Mrs. Lin was overjoyed. Said: "Your father is not interested in farming, he is now more concerned about Shushan Academy. And Yi'er, you have made Qingfengnian very loyal and respectful, so my mother wants to entrust the search for sweet potatoes and other crops to you and Qingfengnian. β
"Mother......
Lin Yijia didn't know what to say, Mrs. Lin waved her hand and said, "You believe my mother, what my mother said is absolutely true." And since you want to do things, your mother always supports you. However, since you have made up your mind, don't be afraid of some gossiping in the future. β
"No, it won't." Lin Yijia bit her lip and said, "Thank you, mother." β
The so-called gossip. It's just an obstacle to her marriage. And she herself doesn't have much hope for the so-called "beloved" in the future, so how can she care about those gossip? Besides, she runs a bumper year, and the shopkeepers come forward on weekdays, and she doesn't have to show up to stand at the counter, who can say anything......
Mrs. Lin was very pleased. Let Lin Yijia help herself to stroll.
thinks that back then, she just didn't have any parents who were willing to support her, and the Feng family couldn't rely on her wanton tossing. What's more, she met Lin Shiqing and met her beloved, so she devoted herself to being the Lin woman. Raising children, and operating to this day. She was willing. Sweet.
Since her beloved interest is not in farming, she should not force him, but share his interests and enthusiasm for education. Isn't the way of harmony between husband and wife between one advance and one retreat?
After returning to the carriage, Lin Yijia kept the sweet potato in mind.
She found pen and paper. A letter was quickly written, and it was mouthful. asked Lantian to find someone to send it out. Qingfengnian got great benefits because of the grain collection from Nanyang, and Lin Qing's shopkeeper paid more attention to the communication with Nanyang people. This is a land of abundant harvests all year round. Lin Qing's shopkeeper may not be in a hurry, after buying land not far from the coast to build a large estate, he has found several local fruits, such as bananas, mangoes, kiwifruit, pineapples, watermelons, longans and so on. These fruits are not in Daxian Shengjing, although they are not rare, but they are expensive. And in some places in the local area, these things actually rot on the trees and no one collects them!
However, although these fruits are not easy to damage in the short term, they cannot sustain long-term transportation. Seeing so much wealth rotting in front of his eyes, Lin Qing's shopkeeper found a lot of people to find a way, and finally let him find a few ways-
One is to pick branches and pick seven or eight ripe ones (anyway, those fruit trees are everywhere, and it is not a big deal to cut down the branches); the second is to make all kinds of dried fruits; The third is that he learned from Westerners, that is, to make juice for low-temperature storage and make jam for sale!
The first batch of fresh fruits transported to Shengjing in Qingfeng Year were sought after by the nobles, although some were rotten on the way, but they still made a profit! The profit is more than ten times higher than the profit of grain!
Lin Yijia praised Chen Qing's shopkeeper, and after asking Mrs. Lin's opinion, she gave Chen Qing half of the shares, and promised him that if any of his sons had good qualifications, he would be allowed to leave his nationality and study with the children of the Lin family.
Lin Qing and his wife were immediately grateful, and they regarded Lin Yijia as a heavenly respect in their hearts!
Since the master wants that seed, no matter what it is, just find it for the master immediately!
After Lin Yijia wrote the letter, she freshened up and rested.
The letter soon reached the hands of Chen Qing's shopkeeper, and the contents of the letter were also known to someone.
Sweet potato?
What is this?
Yang Guangbei stared at the sketch for a while, and then admitted that he didn't know this thing, and said to the visitor: "You go to Guangzhou to find it in person, and ask more foreigners." When will I find it, and when will I come back. β
"Master ......" came and said embarrassedly: "Why don't you let the people below do it?" Master, in the end, the house is not peaceful again......"
Emperor Yingqing ascended the throne, especially after he decreed to marry the county lord of Yuanxin, the apparent calm of Wuxing Houfu inevitably cracked - the county lord of Yuanxin is the daughter of the current Wuxing Hou Yang Erye, and now Yang Erye is trapped in the capital, but Yang Sanye has eight points of authority in the Northwest Army! The Northwest Army is the Yang family's home again! If Yang Sanye wins the war with Xiliang, his reputation will be unparalleled for a while! The Northwest Army will only recognize him as a Yang family!
Although on the surface, Yang Sanye is still very respectful to Yang Erye, but he is not the eldest princess's sister-in-law, and he is not the same mother as Yang Erye!
The people are unpredictable, and the son of the predecessor Wu Xinghou, now Yang Guangbei has grown to the age of eighteen in a low-key manner......
Even if Yang Guangbei never mentions the title, anyone will inevitably think: Who doesn't want a title? What's more, the title was originally his own! Yang Guangbei's low profile. Maybe it has already had a special meaning in the eyes of some people!
At this time, this one is Yang Guangbei's right and left hand, how can he leave!
"Zichou, do as I say." Yang Guangbei said: "There is still Yin Yi watching here, and there is no chaos." Yang Guangbei waved his hand.
Zichou seemed a little helpless, and left the room with his fists clenched.
After going out, he found Yin Yi, who was dressed as a small servant outside the room, and said, "I'm leaving, you should be more careful." Alas. The master was fascinated by that one...... What kind of sweet potato is a little sesame and lucky, can't you just send someone there? Really. β
"If you talk nonsense, be careful that I don't save you then." Yin Yi warned him: "What kind of person is the master, don't you know? It's right for you to find this thing and go back to Beijing as soon as possible. In my opinion, don't be busy going out of Beijing. Let's go and show this picture to the foreigners...... Didn't Shengjing come to a seasonal group? Maybe they have it in their hands. Even if they don't, as long as they can tell the source...... If the master knows, he may not let you out of Beijing. β
"That's right!" Zichou patted his head and said, "I'll go and ask." With that, he did not linger any longer, and soon left.
Yang Guangbei spread out the canvas. After adjusting the paint, he lifted the pen and closed his eyes.
He seemed to smell the faint but seductive fragrance again. Ying is in his heart. A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly smeared on the tarpaulin β today, he has finally completed his second work with reverence.
Yin Yi walked in quietly, bowing his head and staring. It wasn't until Yang Guangbei exhaled and put down his pen that he spoke: "Master." The ancestors let you go over. β
"Do you know what?" Yang Guangbei asked. He had only gone to see the eldest princess in the morning.
Yin Yi shook his head and said, "Before the old ancestor speaks." Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Hou both visited the ancestors before and after. β
Could it be that the two women are doing something? Yang Guangbei was thoughtful. In his early years, his parents were not there, but the eldest princess was very protective of him, and the two aunts treated him well, saying that it was not far or near, and that it was difficult to say that when he did not exist, he did very little even superficial work, all like strangers. Among the brothers and sisters, except for the county lord of Tongyuanxin, who can say a few words, everyone else is gone.
After putting away the painting, Yang Guangbei walked out of his courtyard gate and arrived at the Compassion Courtyard in three steps and two steps.
"Grandmother, are you looking for me?" After Yang Guangbei saluted, he sat on the low stool next to the eldest princess.
"Well...... My grandmother wanted to see my good grandson. The eldest princess of the red moon had a loving gaze, and a pair of speckled hands touched Yang Guangbei's face.
"Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, my good grandson has grown up......" The eldest princess of the red moon had a little mist in her eyes, and sighed: "Over the years, I didn't let them get close to you, and let you grow up alone, do you blame me?" β
Yang Guangbei shook his head and smiled: "It's enough for me to have my grandmother's love." I know my grandmother is all for my good. β
"It's good if you know, it's good if you know." The eldest princess of the red moon burst into tears: "Back then, I gave you the title of Wu Xinghou to your second uncle instead of giving it to you, and I said that I will find a title for you when you grow up...... I just want them not to embarrass you little doll...... I am afraid that they will not give up, so I will give a strict order not to allow them to approach you......"
She is a royal princess and is used to seeing all kinds of ruthless battles.
If she hadn't made such an arrangement and made such a promise, Yang Guangbei was afraid that she wouldn't be able to grow up well! If she hadn't separated his relatives from afar, I am afraid that I would not know when Yang Guangbei had an "accident"! A child, for more than ten years, there are accidents!
Fortunately, Yang Guangbei finally grew up safely.
Moreover, he is also very sensible, and he can understand her hardships in arranging it like that, and he won't blame her.
"Grandmother will tell you the truth......" The eldest princess of the red moon sighed: "If the first emperor is still here, grandmother is five points sure that she can ask you for a knighthood." Because when the first emperor was young, it was not easy to survive in the palace, and my grandmother took care of him a lot, and he also respected me very much as an aunt. And ......"
Moreover, the eldest princess of Hongyue faintly felt that the death of the old marquis may not be unrelated to Tongjing and the emperor. Emperor Jinghe must have felt guilty about her. She didn't say much that as long as there was a title, Emperor Jinghe should agree to her, which would be counted as compensation.
But this reason is not easy to tell Yang Guangbei.
The eldest princess of the red moon didn't know that Yang Guangbei already knew all the secrets, and single-handedly planned the death of Emperor Jinghe. Yang Guangbei sat there quietly, but he didn't care about her words.
The Red Moon Eldest Princess continued, "But now, I don't have that certainty. β
Emperor Ying Qing is already her grandchild, and her affection has long faded, at least not worth a title.
The eldest princess of the Red Moon had blurred tears, and looked at Yang Guangbei with guilt: "Xiaobei, do you have any thoughts now?" Grandmother has no ability, and she can't go back on her word and let your second earl return the title to you......"
Yang Guangbei patted the old lady's hand lightly to prevent her from saying more, and said, "Grandmother, my grandson doesn't want any titles. The grandson doesn't have that much ambition, he doesn't have that much ability, and he is also afraid of trouble, so it's better not to have a knighthood. β
Seeing that the eldest princess of the red moon looked incredulous, he smiled slightly: "Grandmother, why don't you give more money to compensate your grandson?" The grandchildren will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and they can spend it as much as they want...... Hehe. β
The so-called palms and backs of the hands are all meat.
Second Master Yang is also her own son. She couldn't afford to lose him. And for Yang Guangbei...... Who told Yang Guangbei to be too young at that time? She has grown up with this grandson, and she is already the eldest son......
The eldest princess of the Red Moon blinked her eyes and said, "Xiaobei, do you really think so?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
