Then Princess Jing and Mrs. Fang started to talk. After Princess Jing moved into the courtyard, due to physical reasons, she almost stayed at home. I heard Mrs. Fang say that Dongshan Village is a mountain facing the sea, the scenery is excellent, and you can meet a cute little animal from time to time on the road, and I am very yearning in my heart.

After seeing off Mrs. Fang's mother and son, Princess Jing thought that this voyage would definitely not be the last for her youngest son. She knows her youngest son's character very well, and even she can't stop him from making a decision.

Alas, I don't know who Yang'er looks like! His father is gentle and elegant, she is gentle and demure, the eldest son and the second son are also relatively gentle, only this youngest son, before the age of five was fine, soft and cute, after the age of seven or eight, it seems to be replaced with facial paralysis, a cold face all day long, and his eyes are becoming more and more fierce.

It was all his father, the king, who invited a martial master to the children and taught the children, one wanted to abandon literature and go to the border from martial arts, and the other ran to sail without fear of heaven and earth......

This trip to sea is not something that can come back in three or five months, how will she get rid of her thoughts and feelings? Dongshan Village is near the sea, standing on the hillside, she should be able to overlook the ocean, and she can see it as soon as Yang'er returns, right?

So, Princess Jing made a decision - to build a villa on the West Mountain. Although there are no hot springs, no fertile fields, and even a beautiful environment, it can make her feel closer to her youngest son, and that is enough! (No wonder the second son is dissatisfied, she, as a mother, does favor the younger son, and it's not a little bit of a star!) ）

Princess Jing's decision is basically unshaken, and within a reasonable range, no one is willing to disappoint her. The news came back to the capital, and King Jing readily agreed. Not to mention a small courtyard, it is to build three or five mountain villas, as long as the princess is happy, can he still be reluctant to give up this bit of silver?

As a result, King Jing Xingshi dug up a few garden designers from the Ministry of Industry, and hired well-known house builders in Beijing with high-tech technology, and together with craftsmen, they were packed and sent to Tanggu Town. He himself took advantage of the rest to take another ten days off and went to Tanggu Town to personally arrange the initial project.

Princess Jing has decided to build a courtyard on the mountainside near Dongshan Village, not far from Mrs. Fang's house in Dongshan Village. The doctor accompanying Princess Jing also said that often climbing and climbing sports are also good for the princess's body.

King Jing naturally did not disagree, he personally took the garden designers and craftsmen, selected a place on the west mountain to sit in the north and face south, and the feng shui was excellent, and recruited a group of small workers from the nearby village. Within a few days, construction began in full swing.

On the way back to Tanggu Town, King Jing was afraid that the rugged mountain road would reach his prince and princess, so he gathered a group of people to prepare to build the road. Especially on that section of the mountain road, some stonemasons were specially hired to chisel out a flat avenue.

There must be brave men under the heavy money, and the Jingwang Mansion is not bad for money, and the wages given are high. Although the construction schedule was tighter, it still attracted a group of people. The road repair project proceeded quickly, and when Xiaocao's watermelon went to market, a smooth road led from Dongshan Village to the town. It used to take more than an hour for a carriage, but now it takes only three quarters of an hour to arrive. The surrounding villagers praised King Jing for doing a great deed.

Let's talk about Dongshan Village, I heard that the prince of the capital was going to build another courtyard in their village, and I felt honored and a little apprehensive. I am afraid that the nobles will take a fancy to their own one-third of an acre of land and rob it. Seeing that the nobles chose the West Mountain, the hearts of the villagers of Dongshan Village gradually relaxed.

The village chief of Dongshan Village is now straight when he goes out. Their Dongshan Village is definitely a treasure of feng shui, otherwise how could they be favored by the royal relatives in Beijing?

The village chief had several contacts with the steward of the Jingwang Mansion, and felt that the minions under the Jingwang Mansion did not have the bad habit of showing off their might and might of some big families, and they were quite reasonable.

The village chief privately gave the steward a lot of benefits, and asked him to say more good things about Dongshan Village in front of the masters. As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, and if someone who doesn't have long eyes comes to Dongshan Village to make trouble in the future, the people in the other courtyard shouldn't sit idly by, right?

When the annex of Jingwangfu was in full swing of construction, the watermelons of the Yu family were finally sold out after more than a month of hot sales. That night, Yu Xiaocao took out the account book and summed it up, and the family showed surprised expressions.

With the cheating device of Lingshi water, the yield of watermelons per mu has reached more than 10,000 catties, and the watermelons produced in three acres of land are more than 35,000 catties! In addition to the melon shop sales, it was also distributed to Wang Ergou and the uncles of the Liu family at a wholesale price. There are nearly 10,000 catties of wholesale, and if you calculate it according to one catty of 150 yuan, it is 1,500 taels. The remaining 25,000 catties are sold in the melon shop, and the price is relatively high. In this way, Xiaocao simply calculated, and earned a total of nearly 10,000 taels of silver!!

Yu Hai swallowed hard and gasped heavily, in the past month, he has been busy, but he never expected that growing watermelons would be so profitable!

Xiaocao took out a stack of silver tickets. The amount of business she sells every day is deposited in the town's bank. The silver ticket is a small one hundred taels, a large one hundred taels, and a thick stack. The Yu family looked at the silver ticket and had some unreal feelings in their hearts.

Half a year ago, they were still living in poverty and white, and they couldn't even eat coarse grains. Now he has become a rich man with 10,000 taels of silver! Even in the town, Wanliang's wealth is not a small amount!

Yu Xiaocao saw the disbelief of the family, and said with a smile: "Dad, mother!" What are you going to do with this money, whether you keep it in the bank, or use it to buy a house and land? ”

Yu Hai thought for a while and said, "Set aside a part to expand the old house in the future." The rest ...... Why don't you buy some good land near town? Our family only has three acres of land, which is too little! Buy more land and grow a few acres of watermelons next year......"

Liu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "If there are suitable shops in the town, you can also buy a few." The two shops in Xiaocao have a good terrain! It's easy to rent out, but as soon as our melon shop closed, someone inquired about renting. A year of rent alone, one room also has a thousand eight hundred income. If the children have two rooms per person, they will not have to worry about making a living in the future! ”

Yu Hai nodded slowly and agreed: "Hmm! Then buy some more shops...... I think it's also possible to buy a house in the town. Later, when I was in the town, I had a place to stay. However, this is our ancestral home, even if Xiaoshi has a chance to study in the future, he will also worship his ancestors in his hometown! "For the place where he was born and raised, Yu Hai is still a little obsessed.

Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "Then after we enter autumn, we will expand the old mansion first." However, the most important thing now is to open up the land and plant a crop of sweet potatoes! ”

Yu Hai nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, I almost forgot about it when I was happy!" It's just early summer, and if you plant sweet potatoes, you'll be ready to harvest them when the frost falls! In fact, it's really good to grow watermelons, and it doesn't delay the agricultural season at all! ”

The next day, Yu Hang asked Xiaocao to help harvest aquatic products at home, and he went to the field with his father and mother, shoveled the melon seedlings, and turned over three acres of land for two days before it was completed. The work of raising sweet potato seedlings was also undertaken by Xiaocao. The main thing is that she wants to use Lingshi water to raise seedlings so that she can cheat, after all, it is indeed a little late to raise seedlings now.

Xiaocao reclaimed a piece of land near his house for seedlings, and let Yu Hai build a fence with bamboo branches to prevent it from being spoiled by small beasts in the mountains at night. She takes out the carefully selected potato seeds, lays them flat in the dug ground, and covers them with an even layer of soil. After the seedlings are covered with soil, they are irrigated in time, and the grass in the water is mixed with an appropriate amount of spiritual stone water. Fortunately, it is already early summer, and the temperature is more suitable for potato seed germination, so there is no need for any warmth measures.

When helping his daughter breed, Yu Hai nagged that he should have thought about sweet potato seedlings a long time ago, and he didn't know if it would delay the farming time, and so on.

Fortunately, Xiaocao has the cheating device of the small mending stone, and it takes more than a month for people to breed, and it will only take ten days to complete it in her hands. Among them, in addition to the merits of the spirit stone water, the small mending stone also made a lot of efforts. Under the command of Xiaocao, it "casts" in the seedling place every day, and promotes the growth of sweet potato seedlings with strong strength.

Half a month later, when Yu Hai picked sweet potato seedlings and planted them in the field at the urging of his daughter, he asked in surprise: "Why are the sweet potato seedlings raised so quickly?" Is there twenty days? Cao'er, your breeding method is very good, it saves a lot of time! ”

Yu Xiaocao said vaguely: "It may be that the temperature and rain have been more cooperative recently, and the wind and rain are smooth, so the seedlings emerge faster." It's going to rain, let's hurry up and try to plant sweet potatoes before the rain falls! ”

Yu Hai no longer bothered about the cultivation period of sweet potato seedlings, he quickly transported the first batch of picked potato seedlings to the turned field and planted them in the ground. The family worked together, and in less than a day, the potato seedlings were planted. That night, it rained, and even the step of watering was saved.

The potato seedlings cultivated by Lingshi water are not only drought tolerant and high temperature resistant, but also resistant to diseases and pests. The potato seedlings in Yujia's field are growing well every day. The villagers in the village all praised Yu Hai as a good farmer.

In the following days, Xiaocao's family had a very comfortable life. Zhang was jealous and didn't dare to make trouble again. Although the Li family occasionally licked his face and came over to get close to the Liu family, he didn't dare to make any moves because of Xiaocao's godfather and godmother.

Mrs. Fang has basically settled in Dongshan Village and rarely returns to the house in the town. The two families are close and have become increasingly close. When the Yu family is busy, Mrs. Fang will also change out of complicated clothes, help pick vegetables, or take care of the vegetable garden or something.

After more than a month of quiet life, Mrs. Fang fell in love with the relaxed and comfortable days now. Climb the mountain every day, take a walk on the beach, accompany the children to catch the sea, and then come back and turn the seafood you have harvested into a delicious meal...... Mrs. Fang's body and mind are extremely relaxed, and she is much happier than socializing with all kinds of people who like and dislike in the capital every day.
