is obviously just a young poor talent, but he has been reduced to borrowing temples and selling words for a living.

Why is this prince invited today, and the marquis is called tomorrow, and he doesn't want to go and ask three times and four times, and he doesn't give up?

Even if you are talented, you will fly to the branches in the future, and the colorful chicken will become a phoenix, so you will not be so sought after, right?

Lin Qingwen is not a "second wood", she has thoughts, and she has thought about these strange things, but she never thought of asking people about Mu Nanfeng.

Again, cause and effect is too troublesome, so it's better to be less contaminated.

……

After finishing the account with Jia Yun in Zizhuxuan, Qingwen rode her rouge snow as usual and went to Xiao Chenzhuang.

In the Zhuangzi, Uncle Liu was leading people to take straw and weave straw curtains, and Qingwen looked curiously at it for a while.

"Uncle Liu, what is this going to do?"

"This is to protect the fruit tree from the cold, and if it is too cold in winter, tie a straw curtain to keep it warm, so that it can grow well in the coming year."

Oh yes, and dressing the fruit trees will also protect them from the cold.

Trees protect against the cold, Qingwen knows.

Every year in autumn, the trees on both sides of the city's roads are painted white.

Mix lime, sulfur, rosin, salt, water, etc., in a certain proportion, and use a small broom made of bamboo branches and other means to brush these mixtures on the trunk of the tree to be painted white.

I heard that this whitening agent has the effect of preventing cold, as well as the effect of preventing diseases and pests.

This ancient salt is too expensive, lime, sulfur, and rosin are not easy to get, and the cost of whitening is too great.

Fortunately, there is a lot of straw on the grange, which is just the right time for waste utilization.

"Our fruit trees have just been planted for a few days, and this winter is the hardest, and we will freeze to death if we don't prevent it from being protected.

Weave the straw into a straw curtain, tie it around the main trunk before the frost, and untie it when the spring is warm next year, when these saplings will grow well, and maybe the girl will eat our own fruit in the next year. Uncle Liu said with a smile.

"If you dare to be kind, I'll wait for our own fruit to come down." Qingwen smiled so much that her eyes were crooked into crescents.

The length of time it takes for fruit trees to bear fruit is different, as the saying goes, "three peaches and four pears are five years, and jujube trees are exchanged for money that year". It means that peach trees generally take three years to bear fruit, apricot trees take four years to bear fruit, pear trees take at least five years to bear fruit, and jujube trees are fast and can bear fruit in the same year.

This proverb may be for fruit trees that are native and have not been grafted.

Qingwen remembered that there was an apricot tree in her grandmother's house, and in the second year of its birth, it had grown before it was tall, and it bore a few fruits. It's not huge, but it's a surprise.

She is looking forward to the coming year, when her fruit trees will bear fruit, not too much, just a little sweeter and a little more fragrant.

Daiyu tasted her own sweet fruit, and she must be even more happy.

After going through Zizhuxuan's accounts, inspecting the grange, and then returning to the tofu shop, Liu Xianglian had already left.

There are not many customers in front of the shop, because this workshop is mainly for Zizhuxuan to use soy products, and the excess is only sold out.

Every day until this time of day, the production of the day is probably sold.

In this way, the goods are in short supply, and the guests will feel rare, "rare is expensive".

In fact, the most important thing is that soybeans only have the yield of 50 acres of land, and you have to make a good plan for how many soy products you can make a day at most, so that you can stick to it until next year's new soybeans come down.

"Third sister, sit down and rest for a while." Qingwen handed a glass of water to Third Sister You who was cleaning up the counter.

"I'm not tired, I'll rest when I'm done."

Third Sister You quickly stacked the utensils for weighing bean products one by one and asked the guys to move them to the backyard. The stalks, money boxes, and so on, were also neatly placed before sitting down.

"Third girl, does Second Master Liu often come to our shop these days, does he like to eat tofu so much?" Jia Hui innocently opened her eyes and smiled innocently.

Qingwen secretly laughed, little girl, how did you do it, with an innocent face but it hit people's hearts?

Third Sister You's pretty face flushed, and she anxiously explained to Qingwen: "Girl, Liu Gongzi occasionally comes to sit, and I didn't delay my work." ”

"Third sister, Jia Hui didn't mean that, the child's house is not blocked, don't care."

Qingwen smiled and took her hand and said, "I originally wanted to match you and Liu Liren, you said that you didn't have that kind of mind for him, but this time you have thoughts about Second Brother Liu?" ”

Third Sister You bowed her head shyly and was silent, and Qingwen asked tentatively, "Has he ever confessed to you?" What are the plans of the third sister in the future? ”

He ...... He said that he would come to my house in a few days to propose marriage, and my mother and sister are still living in Ningguo Mansion, and I want to let them go back to our own house in a few days.

The girl gave me two taels of silver a month, and my sister and mother helped people do some embroidery work, and we could get by without relying on Ning Guofu. I'll just wait for him to propose. ”

Third Sister You's eyes sparkled, full of hope for a new life.

It's okay, it's okay, Qingwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't plan to take the initiative to propose marriage to Liu Xianglian, as long as she didn't have the fetters of Ning Guofu, she and he could be regarded as a couple made in heaven.

The carriage passed by the small gate leading to the street outside the house of the Jia family, and Qingwen saw through the curtain that Liu Wu'er, who she had seen before, standing there and talking to a man.

Liu Wu'er's cheeks were red, and there was anger in her eyes.

Qingwen thought that she was being bullied by the man, so she quickly stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage.

Looking at it from a distance, I saw that the man looked a little familiar.

Acquaintance? A person from Jiafu? Who is it?

Qingwen frowned and thought for a while, and remembered that this person looked quite similar to Aunt Zhao.

If she didn't guess wrong, he should be Aunt Zhao's nephew-Qian Huai.

I don't know why Aunt Zhao's surname is "Zhao", and this Qian Gongzi's surname is "Qian", maybe it was Cao Gong's mistake and he didn't make changes in time, so Qingwen didn't do a deep study.

Anyway, this Qian Huai is Aunt Zhao's nephew in Cao Gong's pen.

Aunt Zhao was originally Jia Zheng's maid, so stupid and extremely favored by Jia Zheng, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and was finally raised as an aunt by "mother and son".

In addition to her impressive appearance, Qingwen really can't think of any other reason.

It is said that "nephews follow aunts", and the young man in front of him does look very similar to Aunt Zhao.

He looks good, but he doesn't have a lot of respect on his face.

Liu Wu'er's mother is in the small kitchen of Lixiangyuan, cooking for the little girls who are singing.

She should be cheap, she came out of the small door and wanted to go home, who wanted to be blocked here by Qian Huai, chattering, having nothing to say, and never letting her go.

Qian Huai's parents are in charge of the accounts in the Jia family's treasury, because the family has some money and has not yet married, Su Ri fell in love with Liu Wu'er's Peugeot, and told his parents that he wanted to marry her.

The Qian family also used to protect the matchmaker in the central government, and begged again and again.

The Liu family's parents were also reluctant, but Wu'er insisted on not complying, but her parents did not dare to agree.

When the Qian family saw this, it was just that.

How could Qian Huai not be able to get five children, he was ashamed and angry in his heart, and he hated to get a match, so he made this wish. From time to time, he pestered Wu'er and said some heartfelt words.

Liu Wu'er was so entangled by him that she couldn't do anything, she was angry but she couldn't attack.

Qingwen walked over with heavy steps, grabbed her arm and said, "It turns out that Sister Wu'er is here, but I can find it." ”
