Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

More people are more powerful, and more money is easier to do. In just one month, Ling Jingxuan's manor was almost completed. The all-green brick courtyard walls spread from Yuehuagou in the east to Xiaogong Mountain in the west. The manor is firmly surrounded, and for the convenience of travel, except for the gate directly in front, a small gate for carriages is opened in the center of the courtyard wall on the left and right sides. The three gates are connected to the straight cobblestone road, all the way to the Inner Sea Basin. On the newly built official road not far from the wasteland, the whole manor looks as majestic as a palace from a distance. The only fly in the ointment is that the yard is too empty.

The main entrance, Ling Jingxuan, did not use the typical ancient double-opening wooden doors, but chose a modern, strong and sturdy iron gate. The door was painted with red paint, which looked as alternative and luxurious. The carpentry has been built, and they have moved all the things that should be moved here. They also eat and sleep here. However, Ling Jingxuan has not named the manor yet. He wants to wait until everyone is free and then get together to think about it. nice name.

Pushing open the big iron gate, a bluestone road leads directly to the main house [-] meters away. The ground on both sides is already full of grape branches that Ling Jingxuan cut from the mountains. Under the careful watering of the Crescent Spring, the thick branches have already revived.

The main house is made of blue bricks and black tiles, which complement each other. The main house in the middle is at least hundreds of square meters, and there are eight bedrooms on the left and right sides. Each bedroom is built in a modern three-bedroom and one-living style. It has its own bathroom equipment and a small kitchen, so you can rest It can also entertain guests alone. The inverted seats on both sides of the main house are a huge clean kitchen, two spacious warehouses, and the entrance to the cellar. Both the duck shed and the duck shed are planned in the backyard.

Bypassing the main house, there is a row of large tile-roofed buildings of about ten meters in height on the left, with a height of at least three meters. On the right is also a row of large tile-roofed houses that reach the bottom of the yard, but they are divided into many small rooms, which are spare warehouses and servant rooms.

Regardless of whether it is a factory building or a servant's house, areas for planting fruit trees have been planned in the front and rear. It is full of water, and the pond has long been filled with lotus roots, but it is not obvious yet. When diverting water from Yuehuagou, Ling Jingxuan also quietly introduced a large number of fish schools. Ling Jingpeng and Song Gengniu chartered a boat to go to Lingjiang to salvage a large amount of duckweed and put them in, which can not only add a little green atmosphere to the yard, but also raise fish and ducks, so the entire pond surface is basically covered in green.

In the center of the pond, a huge corridor connecting the end and the end hovers over it, not only for the family to pass through, but also for the octagonal gazebo in the middle to rest and enjoy the cool air. Later, when all the surrounding fruit trees grow, the lotus in the pond will also bloom. I'm afraid it's too beautiful to behold, among other things, after the gazebo is built, it seems to be Ling Jinghan's private study there. Every day when he has nothing to do, he will take Song Shuisheng with him, twist a pot of herbal tea, and a plate of snacks specially made by Song Yang's. One sitting is most of the day.

Several huge sheds were built behind the pond, namely pigsty, chicken coop and duck shed. The two piglets and dozens of chickens bought earlier were all moved into the new nest, and Ling Jingxuan went to catch them again. Eight little pigs, [-] chickens, and [-] ducklings were put in separately. By the time of the Chinese New Year, I am afraid that there will be a bumper harvest. Afterwards, there will be a large open space at the foot of Yuehua Mountain. It will be used for planting fruit trees in the future.

In general, the whole manor looks empty except for the few houses and the cloister on the pond. However, next year, when the trees are full of shade, it will definitely be another beautiful scenery.

During this month, Ling Jingxuan was not idle either. Xinyuan Restaurant came to fetch goods twice, plus the money from selling fish, the more than 2000 taels spent on land and housing were earned back one after another. .

Compared with his place getting richer and richer, the old Ling family's side is miserable. After the unanimous decision of the old patriarch of the Ling family and all the elders, Ling Jingwei was not allowed to redeem his military service. Li Zheng personally returned the 20 taels of silver he had accepted to Ling Chengcai The couple, Ling Jingwei was sent to the conscription camp not long after that happened, and Ling Chenghua must have been forced by Ling Jingwei because of her mouth, and she was escorted by an old woman. Although she was not kicked out of the house, her reputation was completely ruined. Don't talk about marrying in this life, I'm afraid I won't dare to see anyone, and Ling Chengcai and his wife hate her because of their son, even if there is an old lady around, her life in that house will be difficult.

The old scholar's family completely lost the hearts of the people because of this incident, and they can no longer think highly of themselves as before. Even the old man's private school was closed because of this, because almost all the villagers took their children back. Cursing in their faces, even if the children are not allowed to study, they cannot be turned into scumbags like Ling Jingwei.

A series of blows made Ling Qiyun unable to afford illness, almost all of the Ling family fell into the hands of the old lady, the eldest room was arguing about splitting up because of his son, and the life of the third room was not easy, Ling Chenglong split out , the big house was making noise again, and all the housework and field work fell on the head of the third house. Ling Chenghu and his wife, who have always been lazy, complained a lot. They went quietly to Ling Jingxuan's house several times to find Ling Chenglong, trying to persuade them Going back, but Song Gengniu obeyed Yan Shengrui's order, regardless of the reason, he came and beat him once, but they didn't even see Ling Chenglong and his wife face to face.

However, these have nothing to do with Ling Jingxuan. He still lives a busy, fulfilling and peaceful life every day. After sending his son to school in the morning, he goes to the mountain to pick fruits with Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingpeng. Shi and others cleaned the fruit and made jam together until the son came back in the afternoon. The family and the Zhao family sat around a specially customized large round table for dinner. Usually it was still dark after dinner, and Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui and others had to go to the factory. Cooking jam, the four little buns obediently practiced calligraphy and endorsed memorization under the leadership of Ling Jinghan. When it was dark, in an era without any entertainment, a busy day would be over.

"Father, don't be so busy, come and taste the wine I made."

Recently, they have moved all the things from the thatched cottage to the new house one after another. When they came back from a walk in the evening to digest food, Ling Jingxuan finally remembered the wine that he had sealed and kept under the cellar of the old house. Yan Shengrui went to the cellar and took out a bottle.

"Well, I'll come as soon as I get this wooden wedge."

In the new house, large furniture such as beds and wardrobes are all made by carpenters at home. What is missing now are the desks, chairs and other things that Ling Jingxuan specially requested. After all the work, he buried himself in a pile of wood every day.

"When can't it be done? It's getting dark, dad, you can do it tomorrow."

"Hey, come on!"

"Don't pay attention to him, he is just a hard worker, oh Jingxuan, what kind of wine is this, why is it still red?"

Ling Wangshi, who had recovered, glared at the busy man in the yard unhappily. When she saw the blood-red liquid in the cup, Ling Wangshi couldn't help exclaiming. She picked up one of the cups and looked up, down, left, right, curious What's worse, Ling Jinghan and others sitting around the table are not much better. Except for Yan Chengrui, almost everyone has more or less surprise on their faces.

"Mom, try it and see how it tastes?"

Without answering her question, Ling Jingxuan gave her an encouraging look with a smile. Ling Wangshi, who was holding the red wine, sniffed the wine tentatively, and carefully brought the glass to his lips. Everyone's gazes coincided. Landing on her body, I saw that she just stuck out her tongue and licked it at first, but then she seemed to have tasted it, and she raised her head and drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Ah! It's delicious. Unlike other wines, this wine doesn't irritate the throat at all, and has a faint fruity aroma. Jingxuan, can mother have another drink?"

Reluctantly smashing her lips, Ling Wang's eyes stared at the wine jar in his hand, it was the first time she drank such a delicious wine, even better than their syrup mixed with jam.

"Hehe... Mom, no matter how good it is, it's still wine. After drinking, you can have a lot of energy. From now on, you can drink a glass every night. It will help you sleep and beautify yourself. Don't be greedy."

It's not that he is reluctant, Ling Wang usually doesn't drink alcohol, the cup just now has at least three taels, let her drink it, and when the wind blows later, she will probably get drunk.

"Daddy, this is the wine you made from wild grapes, can I drink it?"

But anything related to eating and drinking is always indispensable to Xiaobaozi. He just came back from boxing outside and smelled the fruity fragrance from a distance. Without thinking about it, he left his brother Ling Wen. Climbing onto Yan Shengrui's thigh, his two big longan-like eyes stared at the cup in front of them for a moment, and there were long-lost traces of saliva at the corners of his mouth.

"You kid wants to drink, let's talk about it in ten years."

Seeing his little nephew's cute appearance, Ling Jingpeng who was sitting opposite couldn't help but joked, this kid, every time he sees food, it's like a different person, in the words of the elder brother, he is a standard foodie.

"Huh? You can't drink it?"

Hearing that, after this period of time, the small face that has been well-proportioned collapsed in disappointment, and looked like it might cry at any time. The whole group headed by Ling Jingxuan couldn't help laughing, but it was Yan Shengrui who always doted on children. He picked up the wine glass and brought it directly to his lips: "I can only drink a little, taste it."

There's no way, he just can't see his precious son being disappointed.

"Hey!"

The little face instantly glowed, and the little bun held the cup in both hands, opened his mouth wide and took a sip? ?

"Cough cough, it's hard to drink water..."

"Haha."

After all, it was still wine, and the little bun who took a sip was so uncomfortable that he stuck out his tongue. In the blink of an eye, tears came out. This time, even Yan Shengrui couldn't help laughing. With that embarrassed look, he quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to him, not forgetting to goug out the two fathers with extremely exaggerated smiles. Do they have such a good son? "Huhu?? I'm finally comfortable, Daddy, why is this wine so bad?"

After pouring several cups of tea, he regained his strength. While speaking, Ling Wu still pushed away the wine glass in disgust. Fortunately, it smells so good. Drinking it is like drinking chili water. Drunk to death.

"Little idiot, wine should be tasted slowly, who will drink like you? This wine has the lowest alcohol content among all wines. You are still young, so don't spoil my good wine."

He bent his fingers and tapped his forehead angrily. Ling Jingxuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine made from wild grapes is different, with a strong fruity aroma and a bit of astringent taste. Compared with those top-notch famous wines that I drank in my previous life, it was considered above average.

Seeing this, the others picked up their wine glasses and sipped lightly, the rich fruity aroma filled the whole mouth in an instant, and everyone couldn't help but like Ling Wang, tilted their heads up and drank it, it was the first time they drank it Such a special wine.

"I seem to have drunk this kind of wine, but the taste is not as good as this."

Putting down his cup, Yan Chengrui frowned and said, after what happened last time, he also quietly inquired about Prince Sheng and the frontline battlefield, but the reaction afterward was not so strong, and he could only give up temporarily, today is still this month For the first time since then, there is a sense of familiarity.

Of course you drank it, the most honorable prince of the royal family, what good things haven't you tasted?

Ling Jingxuan rolled his eyes angrily, and was too lazy to talk to him. Excluding the first [-] jars of wine, he brewed a total of [-] jars of wine. Judging from the current situation, the wine brewed this time should be very successful. Tomorrow, he had to take it to the town to show shopkeeper Zhang himself. Maybe these five hundred jars of wine could earn him a second pot of gold.

Thinking that there might be money to buy land in the future, Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a straight line with a smile, and Yan Shengrui, who was always watching him, showed a faint pampering in his eyes. I don't know why, as long as it is Ling Jingxuan, no matter what appears on his face He finds such an expression very attractive.

"Daddy, didn't you say that this wine is for selling money?"

No matter how beautiful the atmosphere is, if you meet a small money slave, you will be wiped out in an instant, and everyone who is still savoring the wine twitches their brains, wishing to find a needle and thread to sew his mouth, so he can't let them be more arty for a while ?Fortunately, he can be considered a scholar, why is he still full of money, and he can't leave money in three words?

"Well, it's for money. Tomorrow, I'll go to the town with you to find shopkeeper Zhang. Let's ask the price first. If it's too cheap, I won't sell it. I'll keep it for myself."

Reaching out to pick him up and put him on his lap, Ling Jingxuan tapped the tip of his nose. He didn't invest much money in it. Wine is a good thing. If he can't afford it, he would rather keep it all.

"There's so much, how can I keep it all for myself to drink? Daddy, I didn't mean you. I told you not to brew so much at the beginning, but you just didn't listen, and you told my uncle to go to Uncle Wang to order it again behind my back. There are a lot of jars, how are they doing now, the cellar is full of wine, when will we have to drink it? No, tomorrow you can ask Uncle Zhang, if the price is right, sell them all, if you can get two money back two dollars.

The long-lost Ling Wen-style nagging started again. Looking at his squirming lips, Ling Jingxuan felt the corners of his mouth twitching, and his body felt weak. When did he say he couldn't sell it?He just said if, if okay?

"Haha."

Seeing this classic picture of the son teaching the old man, everyone couldn't help but laugh so hard that Ling Wen would definitely eat his father for the rest of his life.
