18 Talking about kinship

It has been more than half a month since the application of farm manure, and the people of Linshui Village have seen that the seedlings of the Wanjia family have grown taller and stronger than other people's, and the Wanjia family has not spent as many hours in the field as they have served in the field, which is really a strange thing.

The villagers stared at the seedlings in the field, and some old farmers touched it with their hands, this is really a high-quality seedling, I am afraid that the seedlings of the entire Linshui Village will be compared, and there is more grain in such a field.

"I heard that Wanjia still has farm fertilizer?"

"What do you think, all of them are being left by the Xie family's steward, and it's all because we didn't seize the opportunity."

"It's just that the seedlings grow well, in case they are strong outside, it still depends on how much grain they produce in the future!" Someone said unconvinced.

The old farmer, who had a plan in his heart, no longer listened to the conversations of the villagers, so he went to Wanjia at noon with good wine and vegetables grown at home, and returned home satisfied in the evening.

When the villagers saw that Lin Lao was so shrewd, they were still on the sidelines, and they could only wait for the output to come out before they could make up their minds, otherwise everything would be in vain.

But for a while, the women and husbands in the village loved to go to Li Yuntao. Li Yun doesn't often go to the fields, the embroiderers are taught by famous teachers in the county, and they know a lot of tricks, and she also passes on these patterns to women and husbands for advice, and she is not stingy at all.

"Mother, why do you correspond to them?" Wan Xiuyue asked while picking up rice. Today is still coarse tea and light rice, and Wan Xiuyue's mouth is tasteless.

"Your eldest brother is a person who wants to take the imperial examination, and his reputation is a little better and safer. And we always have to interact with these people in Linshui Village, and you can also have more fun with the girls and brothers in the village. ”

Wan Xiuyue didn't take it to heart: "I can't talk to them." ”

Wan Xiubai couldn't talk to them either, he lowered his head to eat, he had a friend who hid in his heart and hadn't told the people at home, afraid that Li Yun would say that he Meng. Wave. Just because he first met, he gave him a kettle, but Xie Qiaoyu also gave him delicious pastries, and he didn't want to tell Wan Xiuyue and Li Yun about his own affairs.

As for the eldest brother who has been studying at home recently, he won't bother.

only hid the dealings with Xie Qiaoyu in his heart.

Xie Qiaoyu on the other side was angry when he learned about Wei Bowen's promotion, the slave at home picked up the chestnuts and made chestnut chicken tonight, he looked at the chestnut chicken made by the cook, and stretched out his chopsticks.

He didn't stay in Zhuangzi for long, Xie Weixuan was going to get married, he and Mrs. Xie were going back to the county seat, and as soon as he thought of going back to face Xie Weixuan's martial arts, Xie Qiaoyu bit the chicken in his mouth deeper.

"How difficult do you find it to be in charge of accounts?" Old Madam Xie asked.

Xie Qiaoyu immediately said his difficulties: "I don't know what their character is, and I don't know what their character is, as well as the account book, my arithmetic is too bad, and some of the confused accounts can't be understood at all." ”

The master invited by the family teaches the things of the female red and the boudoir, which will teach you the things of managing the accounts, which is generally taught by the housewife.

"Let Mama Liu guide you."

"Thank you, grandmother." Xie Qiaoyu's eyes lit up. Mama Liu is Mrs. Xie's dowry maid, and she has followed Mrs. Xie for many years and is a very capable person. With Mama Liu's teachings, he will definitely be able to learn arithmetic.

Mrs. Xie saw that this stupid brother was still eating chestnut chicken, and she didn't know what it was like to be sad with a beautiful face. Xie Weixuan got married, Xie Qiaoyu estimated that it was not far away, Xie Qiaoyu turned sixteen years old in the New Year, it was time to find someone to settle the family affairs first, and after a few months of marriage at home, he would marry someone else's family.

She knows a few young men of just the right age, and his family has some small property, but he is not an official, and his highest identity is also a merchant. This merchant has money in his family, there are two concubines in the house, the seat in the main room is still vacant, and the old lady of the family is good friends with her, and she is also very respectful.

Xie Qiaoyu married a husband in the past, which is much better than being a concubine.

"Do you have anyone you like?" Old Madam Xie asked coldly.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Xie Qiaoyu was stuck, and hurriedly drank a cup of tea before relieving himself.

"Why does Grandmother ask that?"

"Wei Xuan got married, and you are not far away, I don't think your mother-in-law will marry you to a good family, I want to explore your style first. You have to remember that no matter how rich you are, it is good to be the main room. ”

This is natural, Xie Qiaoyu didn't want to be a concubine. He saw that Mrs. Xie had a sincere defense for him, and he was also very moved: "Grandmother, I won't be a concubine." ”

"I've picked a few candidates, you can go and see them."

Xie Qiaoyu had already paid attention to it in his heart, but he was still curious in his heart, and wanted to hear what relatives Mrs. Xie had found for him.

Mrs. Xie said: "One is a distant relative of the Xie family, who runs a private school at home, and has been admitted to Xiucai but has great ambitions. ”

"What about looks?"

Mrs. Xie muttered: "I'm afraid it's a little strong, after all, he is a scholar, and he is also a pampered son at home, he only needs to study, and he doesn't ask anything about things at home." ”

Xie Qiaoyu pouted.

"The other is the son of a merchant, there are two concubines in the family, who are good-looking, very gentle-bearing, and have his mother in the house, he is very filial and will not disobey his mother."

This is not something that will only listen to his mother, his temperament is still soft, if the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, then this man is useless, and he has two concubines.

Xie Qiaoyu lowered his eyes and did not speak.

"There is also the son of the owner of the pharmacy, the family is rich and handsome, there are many brothers and girls who like him, he also knows medical skills, and the backyard is clean."

It stands to reason that this person is the best, and Old Madam Xie is also quite optimistic about this one, Xie Qiaoyu asked suspiciously: "Why is he so liked by the girl and the brother?" ”

“…… It's the charm of itself. ”

"These girls, have all my brothers been to his pharmacy for treatment?" How can he be popular for no reason, Daqi Dynasty is not strict with his brother, but he will not show his heart so clearly before he gets married, not to mention that he is also talked about as a talking point to show his charm.

Wan Mingji understood his intentions, but he did not exceed the rules, and he was very polite. He is handsome and extraordinary, and he is never proud. Falling from a rich family to the countryside did not change his ambition, but talked eloquently, neither humble nor arrogant. There is no mess in the family, and he loves his younger brother, and he looks like a good person.

Xie Zhi often said that Wan Mingji's ideas were much higher than theirs.

"Grandmother, there is such a person, that is, his family used to be rich and poor in the past, but he has been studying very hard, won the good reputation of his classmates, loved his younger brother, and supported the whole family. Dealing with people who are mean to him can also fight back in time, what do you think of such people? ”

Old Madam Xie sighed: "It's a pity that such a good son, I only have to give him a chance, I'm afraid I have to seize it hard and make a splash." ”

Xie Qiaoyu became excited: "It should be a blockbuster!" ”

"What does this have to do with you getting married?" Old Madam Xie said.

"Grandmother, it's better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake, this person doesn't have a husband, if he ......"

Old Madam Xie got up suddenly: "Nonsense! ”

"Grandmother is tired, you step back first."

Xie Qiaoyu replied aggrievedly, and wanted to say it clearly.

He wanted to say that if he married that man now, he would be a bad man, and that he lived in the village, and that he had no other husband, and that he would be rich and prosperous in the future, and that if he was to lose this bad husband, his reputation would be bad.

Seeing Old Madam Xie's appearance, Xie Qiaoyu retreated cautiously.

The entire Zhuangzi is Mrs. Xie's, she doesn't know that the person who wore her husband's clothes is Wan Mingji, combined with what Xie Qiaoyu said, what else does she not understand.

Falling from a wealthy family, this point is in line with that Wan Mingji, and the rest of the points correspond to what Xie Qiaoyu said. What a ghost!

"Don't be angry, old lady, the third young master is still young, and he can't tell the difference between good and bad." Mama Liu comforted.

"He doesn't know? Wanjia still lives in the village, how can such a family be good. Wan Mingji is also a well-known loser, there is nothing to say! ”

Although Mrs. Xie said this, she finally took Wan Mingji to heart.

*

After January, the field has a bumper harvest, Wan Mingji's farmhouse fertilizer has broken into a reputation, the field is called grain, the yield of 10,000 homes has increased by one-fifth, compared to look down on this fifth, the ancient farmland is still different from the modern farmland, plus the farmhouse fertilizer is not as good as the modern one, only a month of watering has such an effect, if the farmer's manure is watered from the beginning of the seedling planting, it is not the yield to double.

"Congratulations, this mu yields two hundred catties!" Li Zheng's hands were trembling.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Two hundred pounds!"

"My God, if you use all the manure of Wan Mingji, it won't be a lot more grain!"

"Isn't this from the Immortals?"

"Who dares to say that he doesn't know how to farm, and their farm tools are different from ours, it seems to be faster!"

……

Wan Mingji, who was at the center of public opinion, shot a pheasant on the mountain, and he caught a little lamb in a trap he made yesterday, which happened to be kept at home to drink goat's milk.

This kind of goat milk should be given to Xie Qiaoyu for a bowl, and he also picked up wild duck eggs on the mountain and sent them over.
