"Come on, apply some, don't be reluctant to use it." Fang Tianlin rubbed it on himself a few times before handing the medicine to Shen Jiahe.Farmers are used to thrift, if he doesn't set an example, Shen Jiahe may not be willing to use it at all, and leave it all to the children.

Seeing that Shen Jiahe was patting Shen Zhang, Fang Tianlin rolled his eyes and immediately changed his words: "Let me do it, you don't move."

As he said that, Fang Tianlin ignored Shen Jiahe's dodging, directly lifted his sleeves, and applied the medicine to the mosquito bites.Mosquitoes in the farmhouse are poisonous, and a bite is a lump. Fortunately, the farmhouses are also thick-skinned. If they are replaced by those with thin skin and tender flesh, they will suffer.

It was because of Fang Tianlin's sudden action that aroused his reaction before, the heat on Shen Jiahe's body subsided not long after that, Fang Tianlin came over again, smearing his arms here and there, Shen Jiahe felt his face was burning again, He hurriedly broke free from Fang Tianlin's hands, took the medicine bottle and began to apply the medicine himself.

Shen Zhang was already in a daze, he couldn't open his eyes, he felt that the strength of the pat on his body suddenly disappeared, and his eyelids moved slightly, as if there was a sign of waking up.Fang Tianlin hurriedly took over from Shen Jiahe, and waited until the most active second son fell asleep before he slowly stopped his movements.

The temperature here is high during the day, but not too hot at night. As long as you don’t move, use a cattail fan to cool down your body temperature, and you can sleep well at night. This is much better than the south where he lived before.

Shen Jiahe had to get up early tomorrow, he was afraid that he and his wife would be caught off guard, so he leaned in and slept with the children.

Fang Tianlin's eyes dimmed, and the timing was really wrong today, so he took the initiative to move out to give each other enough space.

Soon, Fang Tianlin also fell into a deep sleep.

Sensing the steady and regular breathing in his ears, Shen Jiahe slowly opened his eyes, and stared sideways at the person next to him under the moonlight shining into the room.

His daughter-in-law looks so good, she will no longer look like the thin bamboo pole in the past, it is his blessing to marry such a daughter-in-law!He must treat him well, thinking of this, Shen Jiahe also slowly closed his eyes.Before falling asleep, an idea hovered in his mind, but his mind was sleepy and he had no time to think deeply.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Shen Jiahe woke up.Before going to sleep, his vague thoughts became clear. He lay on the bed and thought for a while, and finally decided to do what he wanted.

"Do you want your daughter-in-law to go to the county with you?" Father Shen raised his eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Tell me honestly, is it the third daughter-in-law's intention, or your own?"

Shen Jiahe was afraid that the two elders would misunderstand, so he hurriedly defended, "It's what I meant, my daughter-in-law doesn't know my plan yet."

Father Shen knew the temperament of the third son, he squinted his eyes and looked up and down, making sure that what the third son said was the truth, he nodded in agreement, and waved him to go back to the room to get ready.

When Shen Jiahe came out of the upper room, Father Shen shook his head and sighed to Mrs. Zhang: "The third son really fell in love with the third daughter-in-law."

"Well, fortunately, the third daughter-in-law also takes the third child seriously, otherwise it would be hard to say." Mrs. Zhang sighed for God's blessing.

Shen Jiahe entered the bedroom with a smile on his face, and the joy was revealed from the words: "Daughter-in-law, get up quickly, and go to Fuyang County with me, and the children will be handed over to the mother."

When Shen Jiahe went out, Fang Tianlin woke up. Seeing that it was still early, he continued to lie on the bed and didn't get up. Hearing Shen Jiahe's words suddenly, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As soon as he sat up, he saw his daughter-in-law's cheerful eyes narrowed into slits, and Fang Tianlin's mood also soared.When he tidied himself up, Shen Jiahe was still having fun on the sidelines, Fang Tianlin thought about it and then realized that this matter was probably brought up by his wife, for some reason, his heart was sweeter than eating honey.

The things were ready last night, and there is no need to buy another Fang Tianlin, just bring some more food and water for the road to eat and drink.

Originally, Fang Tianlin had no idea about going to the city, but now that he knew he would go with him, he took all his family wealth with him except the large string of copper coins.It is rare for him to go to the city, so he has to take a good look at it, and he will buy it if he finds it suitable.

People from Guangyan Village seldom go to the county seat, and they only go to Fuyang County without an ox cart, and the Shen family is not a wealthy family, so it is impossible to rent an ox cart directly.In order to save time, the two spent a few copper coins this time, and took a bullock cart to Yufeng Town. After arriving in the town, they transferred to Fuyang County.

Fuyang County is much closer than Canglin County, and it is directly under the county. There are vehicles from Yufeng Town every day. The two don't have to wait another night. After negotiating the fare with the driver, they sit in the bullock cart and wait.After a while, the ox cart was full, and the driver swayed up the official road in the ox cart.

Fang Tianlin looked at the scene on the side of the road, and his smile faded a bit.Now the drought is not serious, but the signs of water shortage are already obvious.He noticed this when he was in Yufeng Town, the streets were not as lively as before.Right now, everyone is starting to tighten their wallets. If they can use money, they don’t need money. However, the grain shop is more lively, and they have some spare money. People with active minds have already started stockpiling grain. If there is no famine, they will lose a little money. If there is a famine, then these Grain has become life-saving food.

The Shen family originally planned to sell the old grain left over from last year when the crops were scarce this spring, but now that the momentum has not been sold, the family still has enough grain.At this point, Father Shen is still hesitating whether to buy another batch of grain. The reason why this decision has not been made is because the price difference between buying and selling is not small. If there is no disaster, the money will be It is equal to a plain loss.

The morning sun was not too strong. Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe were wearing a big straw hat. They leaned against each other and slowly closed their eyes amidst the rhythmic shaking of the bullock cart.

When they woke up, the sun was already high, and both of them were sweating from the heat.

Shen Jiahe leaned over and rummaged through the luggage at his feet, took out two cloth towels, soaked them with a little water from the water bag, and handed one to Fang Tianlin.

After wiping off the sweat, Fang Tianlin felt much more comfortable.The two of them are at the age of exhaustion, and they have almost digested what they ate in the morning. He took out a few pieces of dried sweet potatoes, and ate them happily with Shen Jiahe.

Sweet potatoes are worthless, and only farmers use them as their daily food.The storage time of untreated sweet potatoes is not long, and they will germinate in the spring of the second year. Farmers usually dry them and store them.Ordinary dried sweet potatoes are quite hard, and it is not easy to chew.The ones in Fang Tianlin's hands are not like this. The color is orange red, and the moisture is not too dry. It looks very attractive in the sun. It is sweet and sweet after one bite. It is chewy and not so strenuous. It is very popular with the family Children welcome.

Of course, this was not made by Fang Tianlin, he just casually mentioned it while chatting with Liu Cheng, and Liu Cheng fell in love with it, and tried countless methods with his two sister-in-laws, and finally got the finished product in Fang Tianlin's hands.

Fang Tianlin really just said it casually, and only described the appearance of the dried sweet potatoes he had eaten. The three of Liu Cheng figured out a similar finished product, which made him admire the wisdom of people in this era. What they lack is knowledge, average IQ Even if it is not as good as later generations, the difference is almost the same.

The county town was obviously much more lively than the town, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe had things with them and it was not easy to go shopping, so they decided to go to the shop to find their second brother-in-law first.

Fang Tianlin had never been there, let Shen Jiahe lead the way, and briefly talked about the current situation of the second sister's house by the way.

Somehow, the Xue family got lucky, and their business has expanded a lot in the past few years. Originally, they only ran a cloth shop in Yufeng Town, but now there are more than one cloth shop not only in the town, but also in the county.

As the second son of the Xue family, Xue Guanglin is in charge of the cloth shop on West Street, which is where Fang Tianlin and the others went.

When the two arrived, it was almost noon.It was also a coincidence, today is the market day, there are quite a lot of customers coming and going in the shop, just by looking at it, I feel that the business is good.

In the city, the east is generally more expensive than the west, and most of the people who come and go on the west street are ordinary people and some wealthy families.Seeing this situation, Shen Jiahe led Fang Tianlin to the back alley, ready to enter through the back door.

Seeing that it was the brother-in-law of the second young master's owner who came to the door, the store clerk Yin Qing led him to the side hall, and trotted to the front shop to call for him.

There is no big business in the shop right now, so Xue Guanglin doesn't need to keep an eye on it all the time. As soon as he heard that his third brother-in-law was coming, he immediately put down his busy work and strode towards the backyard.

Shen Jiahe briefly explained the purpose of his visit, sat for a while and left behind the Shanhuo he had brought, and then got up to leave, Xue Guanglin hurriedly stopped him.If relatives come to the door, if they don't even give them a meal, if they are found out, they may not know how to tell their Xue family behind their backs.

One side was determined to leave, while the other side enthusiastically persuaded them to stay. In the end, Xue Guanglin came up with a compromise plan and invited them to a restaurant for lunch.He also knew that his father and mother looked down on those poor relatives in the past, so if they insisted on inviting the third brother-in-law and the others into the house, it might not be good for both sides.

There was still some time before noon, Xue Guanglin sent someone to inform the family that he was out for a treat at noon, so that the family did not have to prepare his share, and then brought Shen Jiahe and Fang Tianlin into Baiweiju.

Xue Guanglin is a businessman, he often entertains guests in restaurants, and he is familiar with the owner of the restaurant, Xiaoer. As soon as he entered Baiweiju, the waiter came forward to greet him warmly.Xue Guanglin said a few words to him, and the three of them were immediately led into the private room.

It's not yet noon, it's a bit early for dinner at this time.However, Fang Tianlin and the others still had to go shopping, so Xue Guanglin could only treat them to a brunch.

Fang Tianlin seldom interacted with Xue Guanglin, every time he came to Shen's house, the whole family would gather together, and this time was the one he had the most contact with.Xu is because of doing business all the year round, Xue Guanglin is more tactful, not easy to offend others, but also very good at motivating the atmosphere, if he can't chat for a few words, he has nothing to say.If Xue's family is like this, it's no wonder they can make a fortune.

Since last year's winter, Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe's food has been good, and they won't be unable to walk when they smell the meat, but no matter what, it's just that the ingredients are good. If you want to say that the food is fine, it's not as good as compared with restaurants. far away.

When he was in Canglin County, Fang Tianlin would not spend a lot of money to eat in restaurants.Accompanied by good wine and delicious food, this is indeed the most comfortable meal he has eaten since he came to Jingchao.If you really get what you pay for, if you want to enjoy it, you really can't do without money.

Knowing that Shen Jiahe and his wife did have something to do, Xue Guanglin didn't stay any longer, and let them go after lunch, but said that he didn't have time to go to the old man's house now, and asked them to go to the shop after finishing their business. He had something Bring it to Father Shen.

The cloth store on West Street was of a low-to-medium level, and did not make a lot of money, while the silk shop on East Street was much more profitable.Knowing this, the Xue family did not give up on this shop, the more money the better, they have not yet reached the point where they can't see the benefits of the West Street Cloth Store, so they can earn a little bit.

"Daughter-in-law, don't you want to buy seeds, go now?" Shen Jiahe raised his head slightly and suggested cheerfully.The serious business of coming to Fuyang County has been done, and he is relaxed.

"it is good."

Fang Tianlin has only been to Fuyang County once, and he just passed by, so he doesn't know anything about the situation in the city.Before he asked Xue Guanglin about which seed store in the city had the best reputation, this time Shen Jiahe took Fang Tianlin straight to that store.

Ordinary seeds are available in Shen's family, Fang Tianlin doesn't need to buy them, his purpose is very clear, only buy those good seeds and those that are rarely grown in Fuyang County or not produced at all.Of course, the latter is basically not available in seed stores, and you need to find them in grain stores or spice stores or medicine stores.

Rice is rarely planted in Guangyan Village, and it is even rarer to see Jasmine rice, which is more troublesome to prepare.Fang Tianlin plans to buy some, the best he can grow, and if he can't grow them, he won't bother in the future.He signaled the waiter in the shop to weigh each of the seeds he liked by one or two taels, and the expensive ones only cost a few dollars.Seeing such a small business, the waiter who greeted him warmly suddenly became a little less enthusiastic. Fortunately, he is still responsible, and there is no such thing as a dog's eyes.

Shops that specialize in selling seeds have many varieties of the same species. Fang Tianlin has only been in contact with farming for more than a year, and he is not good at it, so Shen Jiahe will select all of them.

The man who is working hard looks very attractive, Fang Tianlin thinks this is really appropriate.No, Shen Jiahe bent down and focused on checking the quality of the seeds, which attracted all his attention. If he was not outside now, he might be fascinated by seeing people.

After realizing this, Fang Tianlin quickly calmed down, this is not modern, he can't be too presumptuous.

There are many kinds of crops in the Jing Dynasty. Most of the ones Fang Tianlin remembered were found here, and he couldn't miss them. After visiting a few places and buying everything he could buy, he prepared to go back to Xue's cloth shop on West Street.

"Daughter-in-law, you go first, I still have something to do, I will look for you later." Shen Jiahe hesitated for a while, and finally said this sentence.

This is strange, Fang Tianlin turned his head to look at his daughter-in-law, saw that his fingers were tense, and he was unconsciously picking at the skirt of his clothes, so he didn't say anything, just said hello.

Seeing his daughter-in-law agreeing, Shen Jiahe immediately smiled, handed the things in his hands to Fang Tianlin, walked briskly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Fang Tianlin smiled and shook his head, not knowing why such a small matter could make Shen Jiahe so happy.

As soon as he entered the backyard of the cloth shop, Fang Tianlin noticed that the atmosphere was very different from when he came over at noon.It was noisy here before, but now it is much quieter.

Turning into the main room, Fang Tianlin understood what was going on. It turned out that Shen Lin brought the maid over.With his wife around, he naturally paid more attention to these things, and the shop assistants didn't dare to make any noise.

Seeing that Fang Tianlin was alone, Shen Lin frowned on her unhappy face, and said displeasedly, "Where's the third brother? Why are you alone?"

Fang Tianlin did not expect to see Shen Lin here, he put down his things, sat on the side and replied: "He still has something to do, he will come later."

Hearing this, Shen Lin changed the subject, and said annoyedly: "Why didn't you go to the house when you entered the city, but came to the cloth shop instead? Let outsiders see it, and think that my daughter is so unpopular with her mother's family." .”

Fang Tianlin didn't know how to respond to what he said.There is a little truth to it, but didn't they report the letter to Xue Guanglin?It's not rude to be notified.In fact, it is not the Shen family's fault for causing the current situation, who made the Xue family's door more and more difficult to enter.Shen Lin still complains about this now, but she may not think so when the Xue family will become richer in the future.

Xue Guanglin sat on the side, and his face was not very good-looking. It wasn't aimed at Fang Tianlin, but that family was becoming less and less like a family, and the rules were getting stricter. On the contrary, it doesn't feel like home.Before, he thought it was only his mother who thought this way, but since he came back from the old man's house last time, he observed carefully, only to find that the taste of the house has changed a long time ago.

No, Xue Guanglin made an omission and didn't explain in detail, Fang Tianlin and his family knew about their coming to Fuyang County.Shen Lin didn't usually go out if she wanted to, but today was a good day, and she entered the shop after noon.

Xue Guanglin is a businessman, and he can understand what the old man and the others are thinking at a glance.The third brother-in-law would rather come to the cloth shop to find him than to go to Xue's house to find her second sister. He obviously didn't want to face other people, and his dissatisfaction with Shen Lin was also part of it.

Listen, what is Shen Lin saying?Instead of reflecting on her behavior, she first blamed the third brother-in-law and the others. It seems that she didn't listen to what he said before.If he had known this earlier, he would have sent Shen Lin back just now, and if nothing else, he would have made the old man and the others unhappy.

Xue Guanglin has some knowledge of people. The old man and the others can say that they are all focused on the fields and crops, and they will be like this for the rest of their lives. Fang Tianlin, a new wife who has only been in the Shen family for more than a year, he can't understand.Regardless of the fact that the Shen family is still digging in the soil, it's hard to say what will happen in the future.Besides, even if the father-in-law has been like this all his life, he, as a son-in-law, must be respected, and there is absolutely no reason to squint at people.

One must not forget one's roots, but it is a pity that others speak lightly, and he has no control over family affairs, so he can only watch helplessly as his family gradually becomes equal to other wealthy families.

Xue Guanglin couldn't figure it out, why did Shen Lin refuse to listen?Could it be that he treated her so well that she didn't take him seriously?Otherwise, why would the words he said go in one ear and out the other, without listening at all?Could it be that he had to beat her up directly?

Xue Guanglin was also a little unsure whether this idea was feasible.Apart from offending people through normal competition in business, he seldom quarreled with outsiders. He couldn't do it if he wanted to lay hands on his wife.Forget it this time, he will talk to Shen Lin nicely when he goes back, hoping to change her temper.

Xue Guanglin can't take back what Shen Lin has said, but he can still make decisions about the next thing: "Brocade, help your wife go back to the room."

"Guanglin..."

"go back."

Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Zhijin hurriedly helped Shen Lin into the inner room next door.

"Third sister-in-law, don't care about what your second sister said, I spend most of my time in this shop, next time you come over, just come to me." Xue Guanglin was helpless when he said this, but he had to say .He also didn't expect that one day the connection with Yue's family would be tied to him, and as a daughter, Shen Lin would always annoy the father-in-law and the others.

Without Shen Lin, the atmosphere in the main room was much better.Fang Tianlin didn't mind what she said before, he didn't take her to heart, so he wouldn't be hurt.But if it was Shen Jiahe... Thinking of this, Fang Tianlin's eyes darkened.

Shen Jiahe came in and saw his daughter-in-law talking happily with her second brother-in-law, and her original good mood increased by three points.

Seeing that Xue Guanglin is a good person, Fang Tianlin took out the bottle of honey water that he didn't plan to give away from his back basket: "This is the honey I dug out in the mountains. Drinking a little every day is good for your health."

Xue Guanglin didn't pay much attention to it at first. Although honey is not a common item, you can still buy it for a little money.It wasn't until he opened the cork that the sweet scent entered his nose, which made him look serious, and put it away solemnly.

Guangyan Village is quite far from Fuyang County, it was already late, Xue Guanglin didn't stay any longer, asked them to bring the prepared items, and ordered the store clerk to drive them to the horse-drawn carriage, and then went back to the room, and put away the miscellaneous items. Everyone drove away and had a deep talk with Shen Lin.

After that, Governor Shen Lin learned a lot.She is not stupid, if she really pissed off her husband, seeing how the family is getting richer, she might not know what will happen in the future.Also because of such concerns, for a long period of time after that, before she spoke, she thought about the possible consequences of what she said, which inadvertently saved many people from being offended.

It was only when Fang Tianlin got on the ox cart home that he had time to look at Shen Jiahe next to him.Seeing that he didn't say anything, just kept enjoying himself, Fang Tianlin was very curious, what did his wife do just now to make him so happy?This question hung him all the way, if he hadn't been able to bear his temper, he might have asked him a long time ago.

Swaying along the way, if it wasn't for the hot weather, riding an ox cart would be like sleeping in a cradle, which would be a good enjoyment.Fang Tianlin rested with his eyes closed. When he slept and woke up, there seemed to be the whining of animals in his ears. It sounded like the barking of a puppy. It was probably a passenger in the car who brought a puppy.
