Chapter 078: Harvest Season

"Big brother, you see, this is our cotton plantation"

Li Jingguang and his entourage hurriedly rode to Xishanao, which is located at the junction of Qingyang County and Haicheng, entered Zhuangzi, and got off the horse.

"Oh? Is this cotton? Li Jingtian and Li Jingguang squatted on the ground together, carefully looking at the little green shoots in front of them.

"That's right, it's all here. It's a pity that we missed the spring ploughing, otherwise this autumn, the mountains will be full of snow-white flowers, and we will be able to harvest it. Alas, it makes too much sense that people are wrong for a time and a year for a year. Li Jingguang thought of the missed profits, smacked his mouth in distress, and said very angrily.

"Hehe, it's good enough, eight hundred taels of silver to buy two parts, not to mention the hot cotton business, just with this large piece of fertile land, it is also a big bargain...... By the way, when you became a shareholder, did the cousin of the Wang and Wang family know the origin and background of our Li family? ”

Li Jingtian stood up, wiped the soil on his hands, looked at the green cotton seedlings all over the mountains, and couldn't help but flash in his mind the appearance of Wang Qifang holding her stomach, twisting her brows, and choking herself.

Well, somehow, his intuition told him that this supposedly cowardly and mediocre abandoned woman of the Zhao family was not as popular as outsiders had rumored. On the contrary, Li Jingtian is more inclined to think that Wang Qifang is definitely not a simple woman - he really can't think of a woman who is said to be weak by nature, but when facing the gangsters who took her life and the uninvited guests who appeared inexplicably, it is not reasonable at all.

Thinking of Wang Qifang's calm expression, Li Jingtian then thought that with the escalation of the war between the Great Zhou and Gaochang, cotton seeds were comparable to gold, and the cotton cloth business became more and more profitable.

In other words, as long as there is a way to get cotton seeds, even if it is only one or two acres, you can make a fortune.

One or two acres is still like this, not to mention the more than 100 acres of cotton land in front of you?

Cotton alone is enough, but that Wang Qifang also found the heir of the two great skills of Zhou's cotton cloth back then, and based on this alone, Li Jingtian couldn't help but admire and admire her.

The reason is very simple, thinking of his chivalrous alliance, the strange people and righteous people in the alliance are all over the world, and the disciples are involved in various industries in the Great Zhou Dynasty and countless wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, under such a huge force and power operation, they have not been able to find those two technicians, but they were easily found and taken by a weak woman who does not leave the house, which is really unexpected.

Luck?

Otherwise. Li Jingtian shook his head slightly, he never believed in the theory of 'Bodhi Zi' and 'Buddha Yuan', Wang Qifang was able to get cotton seeds and weaving printing and dyeing skills, which was definitely the result of her painstaking management, not the "miraculous effect" of the inconspicuous tree behind the house.

Li Jingtian, the two heirs, didn't know about it, but he was very familiar with his two younger brothers, well, Wang Qifang was able to form a partnership with them without a trace, this alone is enough to show her ability and scheming - the son of the Li family in Pingzhou is not a gentleman who lies on the ancestral merit book and waits for death. can be recognized by the two younger brothers, Wang Qifang is not an ordinary person.

"I shouldn't know," Li Jingguang also stood up, his eyes looked at the tenants who were working hard in the distance, his expression was rarely serious, he pondered for a moment, and said: "That day, my third brother and I also temporarily decided to go to Haicheng, Wang Qiniang didn't know. Moreover, when the third aunt introduced us to her, she was also at a loss, as if she had never heard of us before, let alone had other plans. ”

"Well, I see, let's be more careful about this. Wang Qiniang is different from the third uncle, she, she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family of the Confucian Business Association after all, no matter what the rumors from the outside world are, she is always a member of the Zhao family, not to mention that she also has the grandchildren of the Zhao family in her womb, even if she is not a husband, she will help the Zhao family for the sake of her son. Once our affairs are known to her, there will be turmoil in Da Zhou again. ”

Li Jingtian was noncommittal to his younger brother's words, but just explained it repeatedly.

"Brother, I understand, hum, what kind of Confucian business association, it's just a scholar next to our ancestor and grandfather, not to mention the abandoned master, and dare to say with a shy face that he is a disciple of Lord Li. Bah, such an explosive, selfish lewd embryo is also worthy of being a student of my grandfather? ”

Not to mention that the Zhao family is okay, when it comes to the Confucian Business Association, Li Jingguang's face is full of disdain.

"Shhh~ Woe comes from the mouth," Li Jingtian opened the folding fan, covered his mouth with the fan, and whispered: "We all know how the Zhao family made a fortune, but now is the critical moment, and there can be no chaos." Don't forget the legacy of the ancestors, whether it is the Li family in Pingzhou or the Li family in Longxi, they are all the descendants of Li Chong's ancestors, and they can't write two 'Li' characters in one stroke. ”

"I know, brother," Li Jingguang has been memorizing the testament that the eldest brother said since he can remember, how can he not understand. He smiled wryly, scratched his head, and said, "I'm just not used to seeing the ugliness of some people's dogs." ”

The little scholar of the year hugged Zhou Taizu's thigh by chance, and became the upstart of the Great Zhou.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why their brothers were able to form a smooth alliance with Wang Qifang, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

"If you can't get used to it, don't look at it, anyway, the Zhao family doesn't dare to blatantly tear up their faces with the Li family," Li Jingtian saw his younger brother's resentful face, and nodded Li Jingguang's forehead with a paper fan with a chuckle, "Okay, don't talk about these troubles." Now that you have successfully built a cotton plantation, I believe that you will soon be able to produce a large amount of cotton cloth, although it only accounts for two components, but it is also a big breakthrough for the Li family. At least, we are standing at the head of the Confucian Business Association again, as long as you manage it well, it is estimated that we will have a greater grasp of the president battle next year. ”

Li Jingguang nodded again and again, "That's right, this time we must pull the Zhao family down." ”

"But don't let your guard down. Don't forget, how the Zhou family was encroached on little by little by the Confucian Business Association. In addition, before the cotton cloth is officially listed, it is better to keep the cotton matter secret...... That, the cousin of the Wang family didn't mention this matter to the Zhao family. ”

To be honest, Li Jingtian is still not very at ease with Wang Qifang.

"No," the corners of Li Jingguang's mouth hooked up a touch of mockery, "The people of the Zhao family are all snobs who can't afford to make profits, especially that Zhao Tianqing, after seeing that Qi Niang didn't help him, he left his wife aside and ignored it, and now his wife is pregnant with his child, but he doesn't even want to come to see it in person, hmph, how can Qi Niang's cousin still treat a person like this as a family member?" ”

"Well, that's good, in one sentence, be careful in everything"

Li Jingtian explained to his younger brother again, and then returned to Haicheng to meet Uncle Li Chang.

As for Wang Qifang, alas, although he still has a lot of questions, but people are 'frightened' and 'tires', and he is not reluctant to be a 'cousin', so he can only suppress his doubts in the bottom of his heart, waiting for the opportunity to let the knights stationed in Qingyang quietly investigate.

"Mama, is the one surnamed Li gone?"

Wang Qifang was lazily reclining on the big kang near the window, holding a piece of fine white cotton cloth in her hand, and was sewing the baby's close-fitting clothes with great interest. Thinking of the two uninvited guests yesterday, Wang Qifang asked in a tone full of expectation.

"Hmm, the surname Li? Qi Niang is talking about Li Jingtian, the eldest young master of the Li family in Pingzhou, "Mama Zhao sat on the foot in front of the kang, holding a few silk threads, facing the sunlight of the glass window, half-squinting and picking the color. When she heard Wang Qifang's somewhat childish question, she smiled and said, "I heard Young Master Li Jingguang say that after he accompanied Li Jingtian to see the cotton plantation, Li Jingtian went directly to Haicheng.

Also, Qi Niang, I don't dare to say anything surnamed Li in the future. Don't forget, the two cousins of the Li family in Pingzhou are both surnamed Li, and the two cousins of the third uncle of Haicheng are also surnamed Li. ”

"Mama~~" Wang Qifang was speechless, Mama Zhao obviously knew that she was just unhappy with Li Jingtian's surname Li, so why bother to pull the other four cousins?

"By the way, in the morning, Chen Dongsheng came over and said that the wheat in our field was about to ripen, which was half a month earlier than the wheat of other farmers around us." Mama Zhao took out the picked silk thread and put it on the small table, and continued to pick other colors to be used according to Wang Qifang's requirements.

"Oh? Is it going to be a summer harvest? ”

When Wang Qifang heard this, the gloom on her face swept away, she held her waist that began to swell, and asked excitedly, "When will we harvest, and we will also go to the field to have a look?" ”

"En, Chen Dongsheng said that he will be able to harvest tomorrow, but Qi Niang, you are not allowed to go, it has been six or seven months, why do you still want to run around? No, Mama doesn't agree here. Mama Zhao tugged at the corners of her mouth and refused directly.

“…… Okay," Wang Qifang saw that Mama Zhao's attitude was extremely firm, so she had to give up the opportunity to witness the harvest in person, and she went back to the corner and continued to do needlework.

At noon, after lunch, Wang Qifang went to take a nap 'as usual', and no one was allowed to serve nearby, let alone disturb.

After sending away Mama Zhao, who was not at ease, Wang Qifang closed the bedroom door, plugged in the latch, and turned into the space.

Yesterday, when she hid in the space, she stumbled upon a lot of unfamiliar plants growing behind the courtyard of the wooden house. It's just that I was so busy running for my life that I didn't bother to take a closer look.

It's easy to coax Mama Zhao away today, she wants to take a good look at it, and take a nap in the space by the way.

Entering the space, Wang Qifang looked at the fruitful fruit trees in front of the small courtyard with satisfaction, as well as the blooming flowers in the courtyard and the grape trellises full of purple fruits, "Well, the wheat outside is going to be harvested, and my space is also going to be harvested."

Picking an apple casually and wiping it with a handkerchief, Wang Qifang clicked and gnawed while walking slowly around her own space.

"Huh? What is it? ”

Walking through the wooden house and coming to the backyard, Wang Qifang finally found the unfamiliar trees she saw yesterday. I saw that these trees were not very large, the largest one was less than a foot in diameter, the leaves were oval and needle-shaped, the trunk was brown, and the bark was very rough and even seemed to be broken in some places.

Wang Qifang stood under the tree suspiciously, observing carefully. It's a pity that Wang Qifang in her previous life was a cloth handicraft expert, so she was still good at identifying a fabric, and if she was asked to identify plants, it would be a little embarrassing.

After looking at it for a long time, she still didn't see what kind of tree it was, only the slightest fragrance in the air lifted her spirits.

"This smell is so familiar, it seems to be red sandalwood? No, I didn't grow rosewood, where did it come from? ”

P: Under the transition of these two chapters, the next baby will be born, oh, hehe, you will continue to support ~\(≧▽≦)/~ lalala
