A few days later, Jade Barnacle told Lin Xiaoyue what he had heard about Duan Yi.

Duan Ying was seriously injured due to defeat and was demoted from squire to lieutenant general. Because of his serious injuries, he never went to court. I heard that Duan Yingzhi's injuries will not heal, and he will die in three months. And Duan Yi was born a person who could not cultivate the exercises, and the children he gave birth to could not cultivate. Duan Yi failed to be admitted to the imperial examination, and he suffered from a strange soft foot disease, and he invited many famous doctors for treatment, but it was ineffective.

Once Duan Ying died, the Duan family collapsed completely. Duan Ying was worried about the future of his wife, children, and children and grandchildren, so he cheekily begged Liu Shangshu to recommend Duan Yi an official position to support his family, and offered him cultivation exercises in exchange. Because Duan Yi had soft feet, he couldn't walk normally, and he couldn't move, so he was impeached by Qin Dazai, saying that Duan Yi was sick and couldn't work for the country, so it was difficult for Duan Yi to have an official position.

Liu Shangshu Nian took out Duan Ying's cultivation exercises and presented them to Emperor Jingwu for the sake of his past friendship with Duan Ying, saying that the Duan family voluntarily handed in the cultivation exercises that were regarded as the root of life, and only asked the emperor to give him a share of the errand to support his family.

In the end, Duan Yi became a master in the prefect's mansion, wrote a written paper, and there was no problem in supporting his family, but the family was declining, and the past was no longer beautiful. However, Duan Yi was unwilling to be a master, and studied the sage books day and night at home, hoping that one day he would be in high school and glorify the lintel. Once he went out, Duan Yi saw Feng Xinghe with cabbage by his side, and saw that the cabbage didn't understand etiquette, but was treated well by Feng Xinghe, so he inquired about the cabbage. Knowing that the cabbage is the daughter of a vulgar peasant woman. Feng Xinghe treated her well because of Lin Xiaoyue. And Lin Xiaoyue was respected and courteous by Feng Xinghe, and had a very good relationship.

Duan Yi speculated that Lin Xiaoyue could be treated like this by Feng Xinghe, and she must be a noble person who has cultivated to a superb level. Although the cabbage was born as a civilian, but by Lin Xiaoyue's side, she was like an official lady in food, clothing, housing and transportation, so she expected that the cabbage had a certain weight in Lin Xiaoyue's heart. So, Duan Yi decided to take cabbage as a concubine, win over Lin Xiaoyue, help himself, and also borrow cabbage to meet Feng Xinghe to pave the way for his future career.

Lin Xiaoyue said: I know, Xiaoju.

Seeing that the master's attention was on the cabbage, the jade barnacle went to Liu Shangshu's garden to pull grass unhappily. After An An saw the jade barnacle, he stepped forward to say hello. These two people are very compatible. Jade Barnacle told An An about the cabbage.

An An had a bitter face, since he practiced Xiao Zhou Tiangongfa, his physical strength was better than ordinary people, and he showed it in front of his friends and relatives, and his face was also bright. Later, when the cabbage came, I didn't know any etiquette, and I didn't know if I was rude. For the sake of the master, An An has to take care of the cabbage so that she will not be bullied. Relatives and friends made fun of An An for making friends with a civilian. An An was psychologically uncomfortable, and it was difficult to say anything, after all, Shizun treated him very well, and Shizun instructed him to take care of the cabbage. Now the master wants to accept cabbage as an apprentice, and An An can't accept it.

An An proposed to find a good family for the cabbage and marry it, so as not to worry about her. Jade Barnacle also thinks it's a good idea. Shizun did not agree with Cabbage marrying Duan Yi as a noble concubine because it was hard to be a concubine. If the cabbage is allowed to go to a wealthy family to be a wife, and the husband has a good character, the master will not object.

The two of them combined, on the condition of cabbage, they want to get married to a good family, and they need Feng Xinghe's help.

The two went to find Feng Xinghe and met Feng Xinghe's personal guard Bai Yang. After Bai Yang found out, he said that there was no need to trouble Young Master Feng for such a trivial matter, he could handle it. So, Bai Yang found a family in the capital to run a teahouse, that person is called Xie Feng, the only son in the family, good character, has a reputation in the neighborhood, and is good at reading.

Jade Barnacle and An An went to tell Lin Xiaoyue about the matter again. Lin Xiaoyue thinks that cabbage is so unpleasant? These people changed the way to let her go. Lin Xiaoyue said that the cabbage was too young.

An An said that a woman can get married at the age of thirteen, and the cabbage will be thirteen years old in a few months.

The jade barnacle said: Shizun can see if Xie Feng is a good person, if it is a good person, it would be a pity if the cabbage was missed.

Lin Xiaoyue felt that what the jade barnacle said was reasonable. I went to see Xie Feng, who has a gentle personality and knows books and etiquette, Xie Feng's father is loyal, his mother is kind, and he is indeed a good family.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was moved, Jade Barnacle said: Master, I know that you asked someone to teach cabbage piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etiquette and communication, and even you want to teach her exercises, the purpose is to think that cabbage will be happy in the future, and whether a woman is happy or not depends not on how many skills she has learned, but on whether she marries a lover.

Lin Xiaoyue felt that what the jade barnacle said was reasonable. But letting a thirteen-year-old girl get married and have children, Lin Xiaoyue couldn't accept it psychologically. Lin Xiaoyue went to ask the cabbage if she wanted to get married. The cabbage looked at Lin Xiaoyue blankly, not knowing whether to marry or not.

Cabbage asked: After getting married, can I be with Miss Lin?

Lin Xiaoyue said: After a woman gets married, she lives with her husband, and the other party is very good.

Cabbage said: The people I have met recently are very good, but I think only Miss Lin will think about me, and I think that as long as I am with Miss Lin, it doesn't matter if I marry or not.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Maybe one day, you meet a man you like and want to be with him.

Lin Xiaoyue took the cabbage to see Xie Feng again, and when the cabbage saw him, he looked indifferent and looked useless. Lin Xiaoyue could only give up. And An An and Jade Barnacle are like deflated balls, dejected.

Lin Xiaoyue went to manage the coal business again.

Liu Tingge saw that Lin Xiaoyue was absent-minded, so he asked her what was on her mind.

Lin Xiaoyue told Liu Qingge about the cabbage.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er, if you are good to a person, you will plan for his future, think long-term, and take into account his feelings, and the little girl of the jade barnacle will benefit a lot.

Lin Xiaoyue said: They don't seem to like cabbage.

Liu Tingge said: Cabbage has an indifferent personality and can't socialize with people, and it's normal for them to dislike it, but Cabbage is also lucky, and the people he meets are kind, and he just wants to marry her to a good person, and he doesn't have any malicious thoughts.

Lin Xiaoyue said: I'm worried that cabbage will be unhappy in the future.

Liu Tingge said: So, you cultivate her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and social etiquette. In the future, her skills will increase and her survivability will increase, but her personality will not change. She has no beauty, but also has an indifferent personality, does not like to socialize with others, and it is difficult to have a happy marriage in the future.

Lin Xiaoyue said: The living environment of cabbage in the past caused her to be inferior and introverted, and her feelings were indifferent, I will take her to participate in more things to help others, cultivate her self-confidence, and let her gradually be recognized by others.

Liu Qingge poured a basin of cold water and said: People's hearts are not so easy to change, and the cabbage's cultivation qualifications are poor and not smart, and cultivating her has no results.

Lin Xiaoyue said: It doesn't matter whether there is any result or not, the important thing is that she can survive and live happily.

Liu Tingge thought about whether she should show weakness and showed difficulties, so that Sister Yue'er also bothered for herself.

After winter, it snows in the sky, and there are still poor families who do not have enough to eat at this time. Liu Tingge said that this year, because of the promotion of agricultural technology, the grain harvest is good, and the Yu country is taxed and fighting, and it is good not to starve to death in winter.

Lin Xiaoyue took jade barnacles, An An, and cabbage to cook porridge, gave porridge to poor families, and asked cabbage to deliver porridge to people who are disabled or sick and have difficulty moving. The men took the porridge and said thank you to the cabbage. The cabbage overflowed with a little joy from the bottom of my heart. In this way, after a month of porridge, jade barnacles, An'an, and cabbage did not feel annoyed or tired, and they felt the joy of helping others.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyue ordered the finished bricks to be sent to the brick kiln for firing, and batches of red bricks were burned in this way.

Everyone was amazed. Lin Xiaoyue used red bricks to build houses for the poor for free, and the red bricks were cemented together. But hired workers to build houses, only three meals a day, not wages.

An An felt that Shizun was not a person who took advantage of others, and asked Lin Xiaoyue why she didn't pay the workers.

Lin Xiaoyue said: An An, only people who have a really difficult life will not need to be paid, as long as they have something to eat, the master let those people exchange labor for a full stomach.

After the house was built, people found that the house was very strong, only a little worse than the blue brick house of the rich, not only to protect from the wind and rain, but also to withstand the cold, and the inside of the house was warmer than the outside. Because of the large number of people, more than 100 red brick houses were soon built for the poor people. The red brick house also has a reputation in the capital.

Many people went to the Liuyue Coal Store to order red bricks and cement. Liu Tingge, who is a busy steward, does not touch the ground, and the business is too hot.

In Gusu City, many soldiers of the Liang State fell ill due to the wind and cold, and the food supply was also difficult, the heart of the Liang State army was scattered, and the Yu State gradually gained the upper hand.

Due to the promotion of agricultural technology, Feng Xinghe greatly increased the national productivity, and made many suggestions to help the battle of Gusu City, so that our army's victory was greatly increased. In addition, he was born noblely, and was named the first-class minister of the court, Guanglu Doctor. Feng Xinghe was unwilling to monopolize the credit, and reported to Emperor Jingwu, the promotion of agricultural technology came from Lin Xiaoyue, and in the battle of Gusu City, Lin Xiaoyue also contributed to the battle.

Lin Xiaoyue was awarded the title of the second-grade county lord and the imperial merchant because of his dedication to agricultural technology, coal manufacturing, and red bricks to improve the living standards of the people, as well as the contribution of Gusu City. The imperial merchant was the greatest benefit of the merchants, not only the tax was halved, but also only the imperial merchants could do business with the emperor and the government.

In the Liuyue coal shop, Lin Xiaoyue leisurely looked after the accounts, and taught the jade barnacles to watch the accounts, manage the accounts, teach An An and cabbage arithmetic, and asked them to memorize the ninety-nine multiplication table.

Liu Tingge was busy, Lin Xiaoyue became famous, and was named the county lord and imperial businessman, and dignitaries from all walks of life went to the coal store to order coal and red bricks. Liu hired many men from poor families to dig coal, clay and other materials, so that they could have jobs and support themselves and their families.

At this time, Wan Jingnian, the chief eunuch of the palace, came to the Liuyue Coal Store and first saluted Liu Tingge, saying that he had ordered 10,000 pieces of honeycomb coal and 500 catties of cement.

The jade barnacle said: "Lord Steward, you don't order red bricks.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Small pot, the palace uses green bricks that are stronger than red bricks.

Lin Xiaoyue saluted Wan Jingnian and said: The little pot is straightforward and fast, and the manager is not strange.

Wan Jingnian waved his hand and said: You don't have to be limited to small sections.

After speaking, Wan Jingnian stared at Lin Xiaoyue's eyes with his eyes and used the soul dementoring technique.

Lin Xiaoyue felt that her consciousness was gradually disappearing, and knew that she had been hypnotized, so she was busy stabilizing her mind and fighting against the soul dementorship of Wan Jingnian. After all, Lin Xiaoyue also understands hypnosis, but she will not hypnotize others directly with her eyes. Lin Xiaoyue resisted the soul dementorship technique of Wan Jing Nian, and made a salute with her hands, saying: Lord Steward is really extraordinary.

Lin Xiaoyue also instructed An An to serve tea to the chief manager.

Wan Jingnian didn't expect Lin Xiaoyue to be able to resist his spells. Wan Jingnian was stunned, exchanged a few polite words with Lin Xiaoyue, and returned to the palace.

Liu Tingge said: Wan Jingnian dared to cast a spell under my nose and treat me as air.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Wanjing has ordered in the store for thousands of years, and the investigation and temptation are true.

Liu Tingge said: Sister Yue'er, Emperor Jingwu is seriously suspicious, and he has to use others and guard against others.

Lin Xiaoyue said: Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people, like this, it's easy for monarchs and ministers to be separated.

Liu Tingge said: So Dugu Yijian was right, but unfortunately he didn't wake him up.
