Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Mother Wu was standing guard at the door, getting some fresh green grass from who knows where, and carefully feeding the horse.

This horse is brown all over, with a vertical white stripe on its forehead going straight to the end of its nose.

The whole body was washed clean, the horse's hair was shiny, and the body was fat and strong. Even the mane on the shoulders and the long hair on the tail were neatly combed.

On weekdays, the master must take care of her as if she were a treasure.

This is the most common yellow-maned horse.

It is named because of its brown mane.

The pulling power and endurance of horses are not as good as those of cattle, so few people raise them for farm work. It is naturally good at running, and even the most common yellow-maned horse can run much faster than cows and donkeys.

Moreover, its waist strength is better than that of an ox, so it can be used to carry people and goods.

Its main function is 'transportation'.

It is a relatively luxurious means of transportation that most people cannot afford or maintain.

Although Qin Niu didn't know how to identify horses, he could still tell that it was a good horse. Its shoulders are broad and powerful, the muscles of its hind limbs are well developed, and its body is robust. He should be the best among the yellow-maned horses.

In this world, a person's status can be easily judged by his car and clothing.

If nothing else, just from this horse, it can be seen that the owner of the carriage has a certain status, but it is limited to the level of village and town dignitaries.

Use a yellow-maned horse to pull a cart and serve as a powerful person in the city? People will laugh out loud.

Looking at the carriage, although the workmanship is pretty good, it can only be called solid at best. It is far from being exquisite, and it is far from luxurious.

Just two shaft wood can make it lose a lot of value.

You can tell at a glance that it is ordinary water willow wood. The main purpose is to be strong and durable to ensure that the carriage will not fall apart and the shaft wood will not break during the speed.

Then let’s talk about the width of the carriage. Three feet wide is about one meter wide.

This width is only suitable for a single-horse carriage.

Also, it has no carriages, just a dock, which is somewhat similar to an ancient shipyard.

The top is in the shape of a round arch to facilitate the drainage of rainwater from both sides on rainy days.

The roof of the shed also looked a bit shabby, it was made of wooden boards and painted with tung oil. Higher-end carriages will have a brass cover on the top, which is durable and not afraid of leaks.

Luxurious carriages are very particular, and the materials used are so luxurious that ordinary people can't even think of them.

After Qin Niu quietly checked the carriage for a few times, he concluded that the guests coming to Wang Fu's house must be the local low-level dignitaries.

The status is one level higher than that of Wang Furen, Xu Zhenchang, and Wang Haikun, but it is far from being comparable to Yan Ruhai.

He secretly wondered, could it be that someone came to propose marriage to Miss Wang?

When Mr. Wang celebrated his fiftieth birthday last time, I heard that he publicly expressed that his daughter was about to reach the age of hairpins and wanted to marry a noble son.

As long as you don't act too young, it doesn't matter if your young master is a little older.

To be a small person means to be a concubine for others.

Miss Wang is now in her cardamom years. In ancient times, this was the purest and most beautiful years for girls.

The cardamom years also represent virginity, just like the budding flowers that have not been destroyed by men.

When marrying a wife, one usually marries a girl of this age group.

Many people pay the betrothal gift first, make a marriage contract, and then wait until the girl is old enough to come and marry her.

Jiji is 15 years old.

In this world, girls get married when they reach puberty.

Otherwise, people will gossip about you, and you will think that there is something wrong with you and you will not be able to get married.

Most boys get married at the age of sixteen. If the family is poor, it is normal for them not to be able to find a wife at the age of sixty-six.

Aniu, go back and wash up quickly, and then come here, Butler Yan Qi is looking for you!

Wu Ma saw Qin Niu coming back from the mountain carrying a basket and quickly stopped him.

Find me?

Qin Niu was extremely surprised.

Yes, I'm just here to find you. I've been waiting for a while. Please hurry up and wash up and change your clothes!

Wu Ma nodded in confirmation.

Judging from the situation, it seems that Rich Wang asked her to guard the door specially to take care of the guests' horses, and at the same time, she was waiting for Qin Niu to come back.

OK!

Qin Niu didn't know why Butler Yan Qi suddenly wanted to see him.

He now has no right to refuse such a big shot's summons.

Of course, you can also refuse, but the outcome will definitely not be much better.

As long as your IQ is normal, you must wash up, put on clean clothes and go there quickly.

Ordinary villagers may not be able to see Butler Yan if they want to.

He thought someone was coming to propose marriage to Wang Wanyan, but he didn't expect that it was a servant of the Yan family who was coming.

Butler Yan Qi was bought into the house by the Yan family from an early age and then trained little by little.

No one knows his original surname, and domestic servants usually have the surname of slave.

He is regarded as an outstanding person and a successful example among domestic servants. With his own efforts, he gradually gained the appreciation and trust of Yan Ruhai. In the end, he not only became the butler of the Yan family, but was also given the surname Yan.

This means that his status in the Yan family is the same as that of collateral blood.

The Yan family has multiple butlers, the most powerful one is the chief steward, who is the head of all the butlers.

Qin Niu is just an ordinary farmer. It is already a great honor to meet a housekeeper of the Yan family. Let the head of the Yan family come to him in person? That's really too much to think about.

Without any strength or status, he is not qualified to meet a person at the level of the Yan family's manager.

He returned home, took a shower, put on clean clothes and went to Wang Fu's home.

In the luxuriously decorated main hall, there is a complete set of finely carved mahogany furniture, including a desk, four high-foot coffee tables, four high chairs, four armchairs, screens and other items.

There are two pots of orchids growing against the wall on the side of the hall.

A light green flower sprouted from one of them, and a faint fragrance entered the nose.

There are framed paintings hanging on the walls, mostly of flowers and birds.

In the middle is a picture of a bright hall and two long couplets.

What is painted on the Mingtang picture is not a fairy, nor a gourd, which symbolizes good luck and longevity, nor a rising sun, but a cow pulling a plow.

First couplet: God rewards hard work, I should be like an ox working hard in plowing

Second couplet: If a person is afraid of suffering, how can he leap out of the gate in this life?

It's interesting. Isn't it the same as Mr. Wang himself?

From a humble beginning, through hard work in business, he eventually accumulated a huge fortune and lived the wealthy life that many people dream of.

Sitting in the main seat in the hall were Mr. Wang and a young man in his thirties.

He has a long beard on his chin, which makes him look elegant and steady.

He was wearing a blue gown with a cup-sized black word strict embroidered on the chest.

This man's appearance is not handsome, but his eyes are clear, his facial features are straight, and his brows and eyes reveal an optimistic and motivated aura of righteousness. There was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.

No wonder this man was able to fight his way out of the many slaves of the Yan family at such a young age and obtain the distinguished status he has today.

With such a temperament, you will definitely not be a mediocre person.

God rewards those who work hard, and those who make progress will naturally not fare too badly through hard work.

If you still have some wisdom and knowledge, you will be even more extraordinary and it will be easy to stand out.

While chatting and laughing with Mr. Wang, this man seemed to have a better aura than Mr. Wang. You know, Mr. Wang is over fifty years old, but this man is only thirty years old!

He has twenty years less life experience, but he is able to outperform Mr. Wang in aura. He relies on diligent study and continuous improvement of himself.

Aniu, why are you back so late? This is Yan Qi, the housekeeper of Yan Mansion, who is in charge of farming and tea harvesting. He came just after noon. He came here specifically to find trouble. There was someone waiting soon. It’s been a long time.”

Although Mr. Wang didn't pay much attention to Qin Niu on weekdays, he took some care of Qin Niu in some matters.

Hurry up and confess your crime to Butler Yan Qi! You were so stupid. No wonder everyone in the village calls you stupid!

This can be regarded as excusing Qin Niu.
