Chapter 163: Nobleman
"You two little girls, when did you get along so well?" Ping'er's mother was surprised, and then glanced at her daughter appreciatively, "Ping'er, you have finally opened up." I have long said that you will play with a good girl like Yan'er, but you don't listen, but you want to follow behind Na Xia Weiwei's ass. Not only did she not learn anything, but she was cheated once, almost harming Yan'er. ”
Saying that, Ping'er Niang glanced at Xia Yan guiltily, and said, "Yan'er, what happened last time is really sorry, your sister Ping'er is a fool, if people treat her a little better, she will sell her life to others." My aunt is here to compensate you, don't take it to heart. ”
"Auntie, it's okay, I've forgotten about this a long time ago." Xia Yan smiled, "I know Sister Ping'er didn't mean it. ”
"That's good, that's good." Ping'er Niang breathed a sigh of relief, "In the future, you will have to take your sister Ping'er to play with you more, teach her more things, and if you get married in the future, you won't be able to control your husband." ”
"Mother, don't talk nonsense, how can there be any husband." Ping'er blushed and sneered.
"Not yet, if I hadn't stopped you, you would have gotten into that big cow's house and not come out." Ping'er's mother suddenly raised her voice, making Ping'er tremble.
"Mother...... Mother...... I...... It's been a long time since I've been looking for Big Bull. Ping'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, so she quickly explained, "I'...... Don't like him anymore, you ...... Don't hit me, I know it's wrong. ”
"What am I doing when I hit you, is it useful to hit you so many times, you don't hurt me and my hands hurt." Ping'er Niang glanced at her and sighed, "Call that big cow to the house tomorrow, and I will sum up your family affairs with him." I'm really unlucky, sticking such a son-in-law, no father and no mother, and I have to raise a grandfather and a younger brother. Even this marriage has to be helped by his mother-in-law, hey, why is my life so bitter. ”
"Mother...... Mother, what did you say? Ping'er thought she had misheard, her eyes widened, and she looked incredulous, "You agreed?" ”
"Why, don't you really like big cows anymore?" Ping'er Niang smiled, "That's okay, anyway, I think that big cow is also stupid, you two fools are really not very reliable together, since you don't want to, then I'll find you another good one." ”
"No, no, no, mother...... I...... I do. Seeing that her wish for many years was about to be fulfilled and she could finally marry her beloved, Ping'er couldn't help but cry excitedly.
"What are you crying about?" Ping'er Niang crossed her waist, "You are really not smart when you say you are stupid, why don't you know how to hurry up and talk to the big cow and let him clean up, I don't want to see a sloppy son-in-law come to the door." ”
"Yes, yes, I'll go." Ping'er quickly wiped her tears and ran towards the door, not forgetting to give Xia Yan a grateful look when she left.
"Hey, you girl, why don't you understand anything at all." Seeing that Ping'er had already run out of the yard, Ping'er's mother hurriedly shouted, "The guest is still at home, why did you run away, come back quickly!" ”
But Ping'er had already run far away, and she didn't hear anyone calling her from behind.
"Yan'er, Uncle Lizheng, I'm really sorry, let you see the joke." Ping'er Niang blushed, "This girl is really raised for nothing, she hasn't married yet, and her elbow has turned out, it's really sad." ”
"It's okay, it shows that Sister Ping'er really likes Brother Da Niu." Xia Yan smiled, "It's too late for Yan'er to bless her, how can you laugh at her?" When Sister Ping'er goes out, you must come to inform us, so that we can have a cup of happy wine. ”
"Definitely, definitely, I'll come when the time comes." Ping'er Niang was in a good mood, and her smiling face was wrinkled.
Seeing that the matter had been said about the same, Xia Yan took Li Zheng and Xiaohu to say goodbye to Ping'er Niang and went home.
Ping'er Niang looked at the back of the three of them leaving, thoughtful.
In the past, she chose a son-in-law, just to find a rich one, and did not think about anything else.
But her daughter is a piece of meat that fell from her body, if she wasn't forced to do so, how could she be willing to push her into the fire pit.
She didn't really just drill into the eyes of money, if so, she would casually marry Ping'er to a rich family with a dead daughter-in-law to fill the house, even if it was to be a concubine, but she didn't choose this path for her daughter.
She still tried her best to find a slightly better wife for her daughter, otherwise she would not have left Ping'er until this time.
As for Ping'er and Da Niu's matter, she really disagreed.
According to the situation of Da Niu's family, Ping'er married in the past, and there was endless suffering.
His family only has less than 20 acres of thin fields, a grandfather who is paralyzed in bed, and a younger brother who is about the same age as Xia Yan, and even the house is a leaky broken tile house.
If you want to say who has the poorest family in this Xi Village, I am afraid it belongs to the Da Niu family, even the previous Xia Yan family is stronger than his family, at least before giving the house to Xia Weiwei, people still have a magnificent house to live in.
If Ping'er gets married, she can't subsidize some of her family, not to mention, she may take things from her own house to Da Niu's house, and she will have to take care of an elderly paralyzed old man, and she will have to worry about supporting a child.
How could Ping'er Niang agree that her own things would be taken away, and how could she let her daughter suffer this kind of hardship in the past?
But now the situation is different from before, as long as the wheat can be planted smoothly next year, the family will be much richer, and she will not have to worry about preparing a dowry for her son.
Since there is no need to worry about the silver, there is no reason to force his daughter to marry someone he doesn't like.
What's more, her family has a lot of land, and the two unsuccessful sons can't be counted on, so she urgently needs to find a son-in-law who is willing to endure hardships and is capable.
As for Da Niu's poor family, it is nothing for Ping'er Niang, doesn't Da Niu's family also have twenty acres of land, she can let him plant with her.
The land of the two families adds up to seventy acres, and there are tens of thousands of taels of silver to earn by selling them casually, what else does she have to worry about?
Ping'er Niang is really a resolute woman, and early the next morning, she came to the door with a big cow.
"Yan'er, I told your brother Da Niu that he also agreed to plant wheat for your family." Ping'er Niang asked tentatively, for fear that Xia Yan didn't have the idea of finding someone else to help plant wheat, "Do you think this is okay?" ”
"Absolutely." Xia Yan wished that the more people there were, the better, "As long as it is a folk in our Bianxi Village, no matter which one it is, I welcome it." ”
"That's great." Ping'er's mother pulled the big cow over, "You stupid boy, don't thank you Sister Yan'er, if it weren't for her, how could you have a chance to marry Ping'er." ”
"Sister Yan'er, thank you." Da Niu touched his head and smiled innocently, although it was just such a simple sentence, it was full of sincerity.
Before yesterday, he was still sighing for a long time about not being able to marry Ping'er, and complained more than once why he was not born in a wealthy family, so that he couldn't even marry the woman he liked.
Complaining is complaining, but he never regarded his grandfather and younger brother as a burden, but took care of them relentlessly, and never gave birth to a trace of dissatisfaction.
Maybe God has eyes, Ping'er, who hasn't seen him for a few months, suddenly ran to his house and told him that her mother wanted him to go to the house to discuss the marriage of the two.
This frightened the big bull who had no hope, and asked Ping'er countless times in disbelief whether this was true.
Ping'er hurriedly explained the reason to him in detail, and then he knew that it was not God who had eyes, but a noble person who came to the door.
So when Ping'er Niang told him about it, Da Niu didn't think about it, immediately agreed, and followed her to Xia Yan's house.
One is to sign the contract, and the other is to thank her in person.
"Yan'er, your big brother is stupid and can't speak, don't be like him." Ping'er Niang glanced at Da Niu, but her face was extremely satisfied, this Da Niu was much more honest than Xia Huai, and she was even more dedicated to Ping'er, and she couldn't find it with a lantern.
"Auntie, you're really polite." Xia Yan smiled, took the note handed by Xiaohu, asked Da Niu to sign it, and chatted with Ping'er Niang.
"Auntie, I don't know if you want to make more money?"
"What? Can you earn more? Ping'er Niang looked surprised.
"Of course, when our flour is sold in Qinxian County and sold to the whole of China, of course we can make more money." Saying that, Xia Yan's expression darkened, and he sighed, "But our ability is limited, and we can't grow so much wheat at all." The little bit that is produced now, plus what you and Brother Da Niu have in their family, is not enough for the people of Qin County to buy, how can you go out of Qin County and sell it to Tongzhou, and even the whole of China? ”
"yes, it's not enough." Ping'er Niang swallowed her saliva, this temptation is too great, but the reality is that as Xia Yan said, the purchasing power of the people of Qin County is quite scary, not to mention the Tongzhou Mansion, which has several times more people?
The little flour produced now, not to mention the same state capital, and the six counties under the jurisdiction of the state are not enough to sell.
"That'...... So what do you say to do? ”
"I want the villagers in our village to help me grow wheat, after all, I can't monopolize this kind of good thing that can make money, and I want the villagers to get a piece of the pie." Xia Yan smiled bitterly, "But most of the people in our village grow sorghum, and they have also made notes with many wineries in Qin County. ”
"Those who don't want are fools." Ping'er patted her chest, "Yan'er, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, and I will definitely let them agree." ”
"Great!" Xia Yan excitedly took Ping'er's hand, "Auntie, you are really my lucky star, Yan'er thank you first." ”
"Silly boy, we are all a family, what are you polite to your aunt."
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Xia Yan smiled with satisfaction.
The reason why she told Ping'er Niang so much was that she could help publicize it, and secondly, she was afraid that she would not tell others such a good thing.
After all, people are selfish and prefer to compare, with this kind of good thing, of course, you have to hide it, how can you easily let people make money with themselves.
So Xia Yan came up with such a statement, which attracted her with a greater temptation, so that she had to be this lobbyist.
I thought that with Ping'erniang's help, Xia Yan would be able to complete this task quickly, but I didn't expect that when the system prompted that the task was completed, it would be five years later.
