When Lin Zhan, Lin Nian, and Lin Yu's family saw the batches of fresh vegetables being loaded onto the ship, they were only amazed.Especially Lin Yu, although he is still young, less than 20 years old, he is not the kind of nerd who studies hard.On the contrary, he, who aspires to be a parent official, is very proficient in common affairs.

Based on the scale of Zhuangzi's greenhouse and the varieties of off-season vegetables, he estimated that Xing Xiuyan's income from sweet potato vines, spinach and many leafy vegetables this winter could reach around 5000 taels of silver!

This is not counting the benefits on Cucumber.

Although there has been greenhouse planting technology since the Han Dynasty, not to mention the Tangquan Palace Hot Spring Palace in all dynasties, as long as the civil and military officials of this dynasty are rich and powerful and seize the opportunity, they basically buy Tangquan Zhuangzi, and these places are not No off-season vegetables are planted, but in terms of quantity, they are very small, and in terms of the objects of supply, basically only the royal family and the powerful can enjoy them, and ordinary people can't touch them at all!

Even though Xing Xiuyan hired ten boats to transport vegetables, the off-season vegetables grown on her farm could not meet the needs of those restaurants in the capital either in terms of variety or quantity.

While Lin Yu was still admiring Xing Xiuyan's good management, Lin Nian was thinking about the reason why Xing Xiuyan could do this.

Of course, the most important reason is that she is the daughter of Xing Zhong, the governor of Shandong, and the adopted daughter of Lin Ruhai, the servant of the household department. Demons and ghosts dare not provoke her.Otherwise, just like a charcoal seller, a few palace slaves can take away her out-of-season vegetables in the name of any tax.

Then there is consumption. Vegetables that are out of season come with a lot of money, but they also require a lot of investment.Those greenhouses with fire walls and earth dragons use briquettes made of peat, and the daily consumption is not a small amount!Not to mention rich peasants and even small landlords, even big landlord families and ordinary wealthy businessmen cannot afford such consumption.

The reason why Xing Xiuyan can afford it is entirely because there are ready-made peat and coal mines in Zhuangzi in Lijia Village!

Xing Xiuyan doesn't care about this. What makes her happy is that after she gave New Year's gifts to the tenants in the village, the income from off-season vegetables plus peat and coal was fully credited with 1000 taels of silver. Seasonal vegetables can still be sold for a month in January!

When Xing Xiuyan handed over the 1000 taels of silver and the account book to her mother, Xing's wife could only sigh.

She knew that she had no way to stop her daughter.

In fact, this year is also a big year for the Xing family.Because their family bought a new house this year, the new house started in the first half of the year, and now the furniture is complete, and everything has been tidied up inside and out.Coincidentally, at the end of this year, Xing Zhong will return to Beijing to report on his duties, so when he returns to Beijing this time, Xing's wife and Xing Xiuyan's mother and daughter will not be able to go to the Lin family.

They have to prepare for the housewarming banquet on the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Housewarming, in this era, is a big event comparable to red and white weddings, and banquets for relatives and friends are indispensable.

three years,

Suddenly a world away.

The Zhen family and the Jia family and other high-ranking families of the past have fallen to the ground one after another. Now the Lin family and the Xing family are majestic, just like the power contrast between the Supreme Emperor and today's Long Live.Although there is no movement from the Supreme Emperor, although Xing Xiuyan is still wary of the Supreme Emperor deep in his heart, this still cannot change the fact that the Xing family is full of guests today.

For the housewarming banquet of the Xing family, the men outside were entertained by Xing Zhong, and the wives and grandmas were naturally presented by Mrs. Xing. Xing Xiuyan also entertained a few little girls here, and even the elder brothers of the Xing family were led by the grandma Follow the mother to meet the elders.

The foundation of the Xing family is shallow, so there were few relatives, and Xing Zhong was born as a scholar, he became an official, and his qualifications are also low. Shi Xiangyun, his cousin Shi Xianglin, Hong Qiaoqiao, the daughter of Hongzhi County's current Tongzhou Hongzhifu's family in the past, Zuo Qing, the daughter of Zuo Qianshan, a household doctor, and Liu Xiaoxiao, a girl from the left neighbor Liu's family.

Others are fine with it, but Shi Xiangyun looked worried and indignant, looking at Xing Xiuyan and Lin Daiyu several times, hesitating to speak.Isn't this behavior surprising?

Shi Xianglin glanced at her several times, seeing that she refused to restrain himself, he had no choice but to push her and said, "Elder Sister, today is a good day for Sister Xing's house. If you have something to do, you can talk about it in private."

Shi Xiangyun said: "Tell me in private later? She went to the suburbs later, how could she be seen! And Sister Lin! With a new wife, I have forgotten my biological mother."

Everyone's expression changed immediately.

Xing Xiuyan sneered, and said, "Looking at Sister Yun's indignation, do you think she came to my house to complain for Jia's family?"

"good."

"That sister found the wrong person. The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing that day was to visit my aunt and uncle in the Prison Temple and the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Later, my aunt and uncle helped Ling go south, and sister Lin and I went to see them off. It’s just that we haven’t seen Sister Yun. When it comes to our relationship with the Jia family, we have a clear conscience, and we are not afraid of what my sister will say.”

Before Shi Xiangyun opened his mouth, Shi Xianglin said first: "I know this. I heard that the Jia family's deficit is thanks to sister Lin's family and sister Xing's family."

Hearing what Shi Xianglin said, Hong Qiaoqiao, Zuo Qing and Liu Xiaoxiao immediately remembered the old rumors.

Zuo Qing exclaimed, and said: "I heard that the family helped the big house of Rongguo Mansion pay back 17 taels of silver? And Sister Lin's family also helped the big house of Rongguo Mansion pay back 50 taels! This is true. of?!"

If it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the Lin family and the Xing family, her parents would not have brought her to the Xing family's housewarming banquet.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

"I heard that my sister's family started at the end of the century, where did all this money come from?!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Isn't this the old year in order to quell the locust plague in Shandong, so I asked the rich people in Shanxi to borrow money? Because of the huge amount, the merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi headed by the eight giants of Shanxi and Shanxi gathered together. Look at my father They didn't ask for any interest for moving three times in three years, and they didn't ask for any interest. After a year of tossing around, they still had some spare money. Otherwise, our family wouldn't dare to bear the burden for my eldest aunt deficit."

When Hong Qiaoqiao heard about it, she sighed and said, "Sister Lin's family may have found out about their family."

It is enough for relatives to do this.The Jia family is in such a state, it is their own fault, and has nothing to do with the Xing family and the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Lin's family and sister Xing's family treat the two sisters. I heard that both the Lin family and the Xing family bought dowry Zhuangzi for the two sisters? The Zhuangzi is quite big, right? Months of leafy vegetables are all from Zhuangzi of my sister’s house? Presumably the income must be excellent. Could it be Tangquan Zhuangzi?”

Lin Daiyu said: "Sister Yun is really well-informed! On weekdays, there is no place to buy the ready-made Zhuangzi in the capital. This year is a good time, and the price of Zhuangzi is very cheap and you can choose it. My wife suggested that my father make the decision and buy Zhuangzi. This time We went to Zhuangzi to live for a while, and planted fresh melons and fruits with the help of Sister Xing’s family’s recipe, and we made a net income of 5000 taels in just two months! Even if Sister Xing is like this, I believe that with Uncle Xing’s ability, it won’t be long before the Xing family You can be debt-free.”

Everyone hurriedly congratulated Xing Xiuyan.

Hearing this, all the girls understood that Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan were at odds because of the Jia family's affairs.But is there any other reason behind this, Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan fit together like clam shells, and they didn't even make a sound.Shi Xiangyun didn't seem smart enough on the historian's side, but her cousin Shi Xianglin was clever. She changed the subject several times, which aroused their curiosity. After they got home, they inevitably talked to their parents.

Speaking of which, Shi Xiangyun is the same age as Lin Daiyu and Xing Xiuyan, but he was born in the second half of the year, and the month is younger.She is the eldest daughter of the historian, and the two princes of the historian are just her two uncles, but this marriage is about the order of seniority.She hasn't decided on a family, and the cousins ​​below are also hard to talk about.

Like the Lin family, the two Marquises of the Shi family also found that the rumors outside were not good. For the sake of family planning, they knew it would delay their daughter's youth, but they still postponed for a year the plan to marry their niece Shi Xiangyun in the coming year. When Shi Xiangyun gets married, Then consider the marriage of your own daughter.

However, at the housewarming banquet of the Xing family, Shi Xiangyun complained for the Jia family. He also accused the Lin family of the Xing family for not doing their best to save the whole family of the Jia family, which caused Jia Zheng's house to wither into mud.

Is this kind of plausible?

It's the twelfth lunar month now, and the coming year is about to come. Shi Xiangyun made such a fuss because he was afraid that people would not know how well she and the Jia family are doing?

Shi Xiangyun's social status and reputation in the marriage market immediately plummeted.

What's even more coincidental is that the master of the Liu family and Mei Hanlin were not only former classmates, the Liu family and the Mei family were also cousins!When Liu Xiaoxiao went home and said that her mother was fine with it, her sister-in-law exclaimed: "Grandma, if my sister doesn't tell me, I can't remember! At the beginning, there was a good relationship in the Jia family, and the two girls were mentioned. One is the eldest daughter of the historian, and the other is a girl from the Xue family. It is said that she is originally from Jinling. Isn’t our aunt’s elder brother the girl who settled in the Xue family in Jinling? Yes, it shouldn’t matter, right? "

When Liu's wife heard about it, she was also shocked. She quickly reported to her husband and wrote a letter to her sister-in-law.

After the Mei family got the news, they immediately went to investigate.

It's actually easy.Who told the Jia family's maids to keep their mouths shut? As long as the Mei family bought one or two old servants of the Jia family, they would naturally know about Xue Baoqin's affairs in the Jia family.

The Mei family was worried that something bad would happen to Xue Baoqin in Jia's house and Jia Baoyu's melon field, but who would have thought that she would find out that Xue Baoqin had been adopted as a righteous daughter by Mrs. Wang!Well, Mrs. Wang's adoption of Xue Baoqin as a righteous daughter seems to have cleared up the scandal between Xue Baoqin and Jia Baoyu, but it also directly became a stain on Xue Baoqin.The Mei family prides themselves on being a scholarly family, so how could they want a daughter-in-law like Mrs. Wang?

Mei's family went to Xue's family to withdraw.

Xue Baoqin cried so hard that she fainted several times.But who else can the current Xue family rely on?

Xue Biao could only grit his teeth and accept the divorce on the grounds of disagreement.

But I didn't want the news to spread to Jinling. Xue Tiao's mother had phlegm disease, and she didn't come up after hearing about it, and she died of anger.
