Chapter 219 Bone Ornament

In the blink of an eye, it is harvest season. (Vertex Hand Hit)

It was a good year. The crops in the fields are very good, and 60 percent of the fields yield three stones per mu. Ah Xing did not break her promise, and distributed forty percent of the harvest to the tenant farmers according to the agreement, and the tenant farmers were naturally overjoyed and grateful to Ah Xing for her generosity. However, what makes Ah Xing a little disappointed is that no farmer can reach a yield of 4 mu per mu, and only a few tenant farmers have a yield of 3.5 mu per mu, which is the result of their best efforts and careful care, A Xing gradually understands that in this era of backward science and technology, it is not easy to increase the yield per mu.

However, Ah Xing was not discouraged, she encouraged those farmers who had a yield of 3.5 mu per mu and said: "Make persistent efforts, don't be discouraged, sum up more experience, try more, one day, will definitely reach 4 stones per mu, and then not only will you have a fifty percent share, but I will also reward you with an additional 50 taels of silver!" ”

The temptation of such a red fruit. Nature makes these farmers surge. 50 taels of silver, these people may never see 50 taels of silver in their lifetime! Even if it was for 50 taels of silver, they would sharpen their heads and find a way to increase production.

Because of the bumper harvest for several consecutive years, the state stock is abundant, and this year's harvest price is much lower than in previous years, and in some places because the rice warehouses are full, they have not even purchased grain from the peasants, and some rice merchants have taken the opportunity to absorb grain at a low price, and the peasants have no choice but to leave a part of the grain in stock, and the rest are sold at a low price, and the money obtained is exchanged for other necessities in life. Although the peasants got a bumper harvest, because the price of rice was too low, they did not get much money, which greatly reduced their joy of harvest.

There are also rice merchants who came to the farm to buy grain from Ah Xing, and the price was so low that Ah Xing was very angry, she couldn't help but ask those rice merchants, is the result of the farmers' hard work for more than half a year only worth so much money?

Mi Shang replied to her with a sneer: "Third Miss, what kind of world is it now, the most important thing in the entire Tang Kingdom is food!" The price we paid is already very good, and when we have a bumper harvest next year, even the current price is gone! If the third lady doesn't sell it, just wait to put it in the granary and feed the mice! ”

Ah Xing was so angry that she drove them away, "I'd rather feed the rats in the rice warehouse than cheap you profiteers!" ”

A-Xing can not buy grain, but low-level farmers can't. Life is not only only about food, but also about other things, and if you don't sell it, how can you buy those things. Just as the peasants were in tears and wanted to sell the grain they had worked so hard to grow at a low price, Ah Xing told them that she would raise the price offered by the rice merchants by 20% to harvest their grain, and told them not to sell the grain at a low price.

The farmers were overjoyed, and they kowtowed to Ah Xing to thank them, and they simply regarded Ah Xing as a bodhisattva who rescued the suffering, and what else to say, of course, they sold their own grain to A Xing.

After the farmers sold their grain, they naturally bragged to the farmers in other villages about how bodhisattva-hearted their master was. When those farmers saw that Ah Xing's grain was more than 20% of the price, they all took their own grain and sold it to Ah Xing.

In fact, Ah Xing used so much grain, in her own field, plus the barn that she bought with the farmer was already piled up, it is estimated that she will not be able to eat it all in her life. She didn't have any other plans to do this, she just didn't want her tenant farmers to suffer too much, and she could have a good year, and now farmers from all over the world are pouring over, which makes her really shocked!

Ah Xing didn't want to pay attention to these people. It is her duty to take care of her own peasants, but she can take care of so many peasants there, and her silver is not picked up. But looking at those faces full of anticipation, looking at the honest farmers who were counting on the money for the New Year, she couldn't help but soften her heart again,

That's it, she doesn't lack this money, so let's do a good deed!

As a result, this year's bumper harvest, not only did she not earn a penny of silver, but also pasted more than 2,000 taels of silver into it. Now her granary can't fit at all, and she has dug a few more cellars to put the grain. It can be said that this year, at least 20% of the grain in the suburbs of Tiandu has arrived at Axing.

And she has become a well-known good person.

But this title made her a little depressed. How does it sound like Our Lady......

"Ugh......" she sighed softly.

Shen Yuanfeng beside him asked her, "Okay, what are you sighing for?" ”

At this time, they were sitting in the backyard of the theater to rest in the cold. Now, Ah Xing has handed over the theater to Ling Zifeng to take care of it, and the theater in Jincheng is managed by the original deputy manager. As soon as Ling Zifeng came, she turned her mind to the farm, and now, she has understood the season of cultivation and harvesting of all crops, knows all the basic common sense of farming, and can freely discuss the affairs of the farm with the stewards, and is no longer the kind of novice who didn't know anything before.

Now that the farm has just finished harvesting, it is the time when the farm is idle, so Ah Xing came to Tiandu to live for a while, before Shen Yuanfeng was fast to meet her, walking between Tiandu and the farm, every time he was dusty. It makes her feel distressed.

But Shen Yuanfeng had no complaints, and seemed to be enjoying it, which made Ah Xing feel that he would be spoiled by him one day.

Ah Xing said: "Now the grain accumulation in the farm is like a mountain, and the landlords in the vicinity are laughing at me!" ”

Shen Yuanfeng was holding Feng'er at this time and showed him his sword. After all, it was a boy, he was very interested in these swords and the like, and every time Shen Yuanfeng came, he would get tired of being by his side for a while, just to be able to get close to the sword on his waist.

Listening to Ah Xing's words, Shen Yuanfeng raised his head and said, "Do you care about their jokes?" ”

Ah Xing thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, I don't care, on the contrary, I'm very happy to do these things." ”

Shen Yuanfeng chuckled: "That's not it!" What do you care? Just do what you think is right. ”

Ah Xing almost forgot that the person in front of her was the most casual person. Any decision he made seemed to him to be a matter of course. It's nice to have someone around who supports you so much and believes in you.

Ah Xing looked at him, he held Feng'er on his lap, taught him how to swing the sword hand in hand, and made a "Huohuo" sound in his mouth. The wind giggled. The pale golden sunset shrouded his body, giving him a faint golden light, and every trace of his body became gentle and beautiful under the rendering of this golden light.

Ah Xing looked at it and couldn't help but smile, this man will not only be a good husband, but also a good father in the future!

At this time, Li Yin came out and asked them to go in for dinner, and Feng'er ran over excitedly when she saw Li Yin: "Mother." Uncle taught me how to practice swords! "Feng'er is three years old and can speak complete sentences, but her personality is wooden, unlike dough, she is a ghost.

Li Yin looked at the child and smiled gently: "Don't be naughty, come in with me, and my mother will wash your face with you." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the wind and went in.

After the two entered the house, Shen Yuanfeng sat down next to Ah Xing and said, "In a few days, it will be my father's birthday, and I will go back to Jincheng." ”

Ah Xing sighed, back and forth, I'm afraid I won't see him for more than a month. I was a little reluctant in my heart.

Shen Yuanfeng saw her face, his fingers scraped lightly on her face, and smiled evilly: "What, can't you bear me?" ”

Ah Xing raised her head, looked at him seriously, and said, "Yes, I can't bear it." ”

The banter on Shen Yuan's plump face turned into a faint touch, he looked at her and said softly, "I'll be back soon." ”

He took her hand: "This time when I go back, I will tell my father about our family, it has been so long, he must have lost his anger, I will let my mother tell him." Ah Xing ......" He called her name softly, raised his head, and his blue eyes shone in the sunset, full of solemnity and hope.

"As soon as I get back, we'll get married."

Ah Xing nodded lightly, her eyes full of tenderness: "Hmm." ”

A few days later, Shen Yuanfeng left Tiandu.

Not long after he left, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin arrived in the capital. This was the first time that the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom had sent an envoy to show his friendship after taking office. This made the Emperor of Tang very happy, and received them warmly and ceremoniously.

The envoy of the Jin State was humble and courteous, very friendly, and first put on a large number of cattle, horses and property, which made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are relieved, it seems that the new emperor of the Jin State is really as they expected, is a benevolent emperor. The frontier land has been peaceful for decades!

The envoy stayed in Tiandu for about ten days before returning to China, but before leaving, he went to Tingsong to find Axing.

Ah Xing couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that the envoy of the Jin Kingdom wanted to see her. She did not dare to slack off, and went to the messenger's chamber.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin was a man in his thirties, dressed in fur clothes with the characteristics of the Kingdom of Jin, with his hair scattered and a rope tied around his forehead.

When the envoy of the Jin Kingdom saw her, he bent down, put his palm flat on his chest, and saluted solemnly, such a respectful attitude made Ah Xing a little surprised.

"What's the matter with the adults looking for the little girl?"

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin smiled slightly, and there was a palm-sized black lacquer box on the ground next to him, and the envoy took it and handed it to Ah Xing with both hands.

"This is a gift that my country's saint specially instructed the villain to bring to the girl, and the saint said, thank you for the girl's hospitality in the Tang Kingdom, a little care, and please smile."

The envoy's attitude was humble and his words were respectful, which made people very comfortable. When Ah Xing heard him say this, she took the box, and the box was carved with clumsy patterns, which was very exquisite. She opened the box, only to see that the box was covered with a soft wool pad, and on the wool mat was a red thing that looked like an animal bone, and the animal bone was carved with patterns and some incomprehensible words, which looked like a modern bone ornament, very delicate and beautiful.

Ah Xing asked, "What is this?" ”

The messenger replied, "This is an ornament of our kingdom of gold, to be worn." But there was another meaning to the ornament, but the messenger did not say it.

Ah Xingjian is not a valuable thing, and Bultai is also her friend, so how can she refuse to send him a gift? So he accepted it with a smile and said, "Please convey my thanks when you go back." Then he gave the envoy some West Lake Longjing, which Bultai loved to drink when he was here, which was a return gift.

The messenger's face was overjoyed, as if he had completed a great task, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't linger any longer, took the tea from Ah Xing and left. The next day, we departed for Jinguo.

And Ah Xing saw that the bone ornament was very exquisite, and she liked it very much, so she found a rope and strung it up and wore it inside her clothes.

This incident was only a small episode in her life, and if she knew that this bone ornament would cause her so much trouble in the future, she would definitely not accept it at that time.

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather has gradually cooled, but Shen Yuanfeng has not come back.

Ah Xing misses the current communication equipment very much, if there is a phone, there is a mobile phone, when you miss him, you can call him, see him, listen to his voice, and talk to him softly, unlike now, thinking about it day and night, but you can't get any news from him.

A-Xing finally understood what it was like to live like a year.

"Decline, decline, no return?" When she dreamed back at midnight, Ah Xing read softly, and tears quietly remained. Then she despised herself so much, she had come over for two long years, and now it was only a month or two apart, and she had become so weak.

It can be seen that Shen Yuanfeng's existence has been deeply implanted in her bone marrow, and this time, she can no longer imagine what she will become if she loses him?

She is like this, as long as she identifies the other party, she will devote herself to it without reservation, so that she can indeed enjoy the sweetness of love, but once it is hurt, it will be devastating. After two lives, she still can't seem to change this temperament.

Whether this is good or bad, she has no way of knowing, but she knows that Shen Yuanfeng is a trustworthy person, and he will never hurt himself.

Lovesickness is a disaster, and longing is difficult. But fortunately, there was something else to share her attention.

The Hu family's shop finally couldn't hold on and closed, and he fled back to Jincheng overnight, trying to avoid debts, but their Hu family was famous, so they could easily avoid it. The producers banded together to find the Jincheng Hu family, and they were bound to recover their losses. For the Hu family's list, they expanded the manpower and space, and spent a lot of silver, but now he said that he would not do it if he didn't do it, and there were still a few months of payment for the goods, so he had to recover the loss from the Hu family.

Later, it was said that the producers found the Hu family, but the Hu family refused to compensate, and the manufacturers wanted to unite to sue the official. The old man of the Hu family drove the young master Hu out of the house in a fit of anger, and so far the young master of the Hu family has no news, and no one knows where he went.

Ah Xing looked at the depressed and decadent Hu family's shop, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, in fact, Hu Lingxuan is very talented in business, if he didn't take advantage of the crossing and knew so many promotion methods, he might not be able to win him. If she hadn't pressed her so hard, if she had given him more time, maybe he would have been able to create a miracle.

It's a pity that his Hu family is rich and unkind, and he can't become a big weapon after all. The Hu family's vitality has been greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover the good situation before!
