Chapter 239: Hairui County's Letter
Before dawn the next day, Wang Wenqian set off with Wang Le, Chu Zhou, and the eight catchers escorted by Wang Xianling.
The carriage got to go, and when it came out of the gate of Lin'an County, Wang Wenqian lifted the curtain and looked at Lin'an County, which was gradually moving away, and his eyes gradually turned red.
At the moment when the tears were about to fall, he suddenly remembered the sentence that Chu Xiangling wrote on the letter to him: Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you.
Wang Wenqian turned his head, no longer looking at the direction of Lin'an County, but at the distance of the road, everything would be better.
.
In September, Chu Xia and Su Xiaoman got married, and in order to take care of the business, the Chu family spent a lot of money to buy a new house in the county seat to make a new house.
On the wedding day, ten miles of red makeup envied all the big girls and little daughters-in-law in Lin'an County.
After becoming a parent, the Chu family ushered in the first soybean harvest year, the Chu family completely according to the contract, all soybeans were harvested according to eight cents a pound, and the farmers who did not plant soybeans were also red-eyed, and all rushed to plant soybeans.
Xiangling signed all the contracts, and only one stipulated that each family must set aside one-third as a ration field.
In this way, the Xiangling family will be able to control at least two-thirds of the land in Lin'an County next year.
In the evening, Chu Xia ran home in a hurry and said to Xiangling: "Sister, I heard Xiwang say that you asked him to buy 100,000 catties of wheat?" Don't we have more than a thousand catties of food? It's enough for our whole family to eat for a year, what are you doing hoarding so much wheat?! Keep the money and buy soybeans in the autumn next year! ”
Xiangling groaned: "Brother, I just want to stabilize the price of soybeans." Now that planting soybeans is better than growing wheat, there will definitely be farmers who are greedy and do not leave food rations. In the autumn, the price of wheat will definitely rise, and at that time, we will sell the wheat to curb the rise in wheat prices, so that farmers can still have an account for planting soybeans, and they will continue to grow soybeans the year after tomorrow. ”
Chu Xia listened with a confused face, his brain was a mess, and he really couldn't understand the relationship between wheat and soybeans, but he just looked at what the girl said was the way she looked, which should be right.
.
In the evening, Xiangling was using an abacus to count the possible payment for next year's order of soybeans, and the window was knocked three times, two short and one long.
This is Ling Qingyue's special window knocking method, similar to the joint code.
Xiangling put down the abacus with a smile, walked to the window, opened the window, hugged her shoulders, and teased Ling Qingyue in the hook: "General Ling, are you polite or rude?" Say you are polite, you always come in the middle of the night to knock on the window of the girl's house; Call you rude, you only knock on the window every time and don't enter the house. ”
Ling Qingyue stretched forward, pecked Xiangling's lips like a woodpecker, and said with a smile: "My husband promised the lady that she would not cross before the age of eighteen, so she couldn't enter the lady's boudoir." ”
said that she didn't enter, but Ling Qingyue's eyes were not honest and looked down the window, looking into the boudoir, and saw that there were abacus and account books on the table, and the lady should be taking inventory of the account books......
Ling Qingyue looked at Xiangling pitifully and said, "Lady, should I be given this month's monthly money?" I promised to invite Chungkook to drink last month, but it turned out to be postponed to this month. ”
Xiangling laughed and said: "I can't blame this matter, who asked you to ask for a kiss when you gave my entire net worth to my family, more than 100,000 taels of silver, I thought the Ling family was so wealthy, you are a cheating marriage!" ”
At that time, Xiangling didn't realize that Ling Qingyue was hired, but later Ling Qingyue asked her for monthly money, and she knew that the dowry was the entire net worth of Ling's mansion, and even the title deed and village deed of the capital were given to Xiangling.
The only thing that the Ling family didn't give to Xiangling now was only Ling Qingyue and an eagle.
Xiangling belongs to the master of the feed before she got married; And Ling Qingyue was already penniless, and she had to wait for the imperial court to pay the military salary before she could pay it, so she was reduced to the point where the lady asked for monthly money, which made Xiangling cry and laugh.
Xiangling took out a silver ticket from the drawer, handed it to Ling Qingyue and said, "It's okay to invite the young general to eat and drink, and you are not allowed to go to a messy place!! ”
Ling Qingyue smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and put the silver ticket into her purse.
The man looked at Xiangling who was standing against the window evilly, stretched out his hands, tightened Xiangling's shoulders, pulled Xiangling out of the house like a radish into the hook, and hugged her.
Xiangling raised her little face in the man's arms and asked, "You came tonight, there must be something, right?" ”
Ling Qingyue flattened her mouth and said: "It's not that Wang Wenqian's ghost is still ghostly, and he actually sent me a letter through the army messenger battalion stationed in Haitian County, I opened it and saw that there was still a letter inside, and your name was written on the envelope." The letter is in my bosom. ”
"A letter to me? How will you be transferred? Xiangling Fox doubted.
Yang Qingyue said indifferently: "It should be to avoid suspicion, this nerd is quite knowledgeable about etiquette, but the content of the letter is not very authentic."
Xiangling squinted lightly and said, "You peeked at the letter behind my back?"
Ling Qingyue's face was not red and her heart was not beating, and she explained: "I don't care to peek at people's letters, I just saw that the soldiers and generals of the messenger battalion were working hard when I was taking letters, and invited them to eat and drink to relieve their fatigue, and they took the initiative to say it...... You know, the ...... of the Messenger Camp to review the content"
Xiangling couldn't help but roll her eyes, obviously not believing Ling Qingyue's words.
I suspect that the soldiers of this messenger battalion are all long-tongued women with big mouths.
Xiangling spread her palms in front of Ling Qingyue and said, "Give me a letter......
Ling Qingyue hugged Xiangling with her arms and said, "I'm busy with both hands, I can't take it, you can take it yourself......
Xiangling: "......"
Your hands are really busy, busy hugging your daughter-in-law.
Xiangling had no choice but to put her hand into the man's arms, take out the letter, and read it through the gauze lamp under the eaves.
The letter is a set of letters, with Ling Qingyue's name written on the outer envelope, and Chu Xiangling's name written on the small envelope inside.
The envelope had been opened, and Xiangling pulled out the letter inside.
The content of the letter remained in his usual style, and it was almost full of food.
It is mentioned that Rizhao County, which is adjacent to the east of Hairui County, is rich in grouper fish, and the braised taste is beautiful; Haifeng County, which is adjacent to the west side, is rich in sea cucumbers, and the steamed taste is fat......
In Hairui County, oysters are abundant, and because of the fishy taste, there are few local people who love to eat them.
Wang Wenqian, a senior foodie, can't lose himself anywhere, roasting oysters with the method of roasting beef in Xiangling, the meat is delicious, especially the first bite of fresh soup baked in the shell, according to Wang Wenqian: Even if it is for the gods, it will not be done.
Wang Wenqian solemnly warned Xiangling that he could not tell some gluttonous people about this way of eating, otherwise they would all go to Hairui County to grab oysters, and they should eat all the delicious food.
Xiangling couldn't help but smile, obviously this "some gluttony" refers to Ling Qingyue!
Ling Qingyue's mood was not affected at all, the pride on his face, the more Wang Wenqian scolded, the more he showed that he was sour, and the more successful he was.
