Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

Zhong Zhengyi hasn't made a decision yet. Wouldn't it be a pity that he just broke up with Steward Wang's line?Why don't he follow it himself, he's ashamed, and get the goods from Qinghefang at a price lower than the wholesale price in the market?

"Why? Dad is not someone who dictates to others casually."

"It has something to do with Qingran's ennoblement. Father is afraid that someone will be watching in Shangjing. If I go there, won't I just fall into the tiger's mouth?"

"Qingran has an enemy?" Hong looked surprised, "It doesn't look like it, how old is he?"

Zhong Zhengyi shook his head and vetoed this point: "Probably not, it probably has something to do with the strong recommendation of Qingran. You don't think that if Qingran solves the epidemic, a title will fall from the sky, right? If there is no one planning here, it is very likely to even point There is no reward at all, maybe someone will not only snatch the credit, but also be beaten back."

"Father, if you don't want to go, then you won't go. What are you so concerned about?" Hong was puzzled.

"Aren't I worried? If I'm not part of the caravan, wouldn't I become a broker if I do this? There are many relatives in the family, and seeing the benefits, if they follow suit, they will talk to Qinghe in private. Wouldn’t Qinghefang suffer a lot?” Zhong Zhengyi tossed and turned, but couldn’t think of a way to get the best of both worlds. There is sadness in the eyes.

If he can't do business for the time being, what can he do?Do you want to go back to Hewan Village, be a small landlord with peace of mind, and then pin your hopes on your children and grandchildren, and live like this for the rest of your life?Zhong Zhengyi is not reconciled to this. He is not too old, so he should be able to fight. More importantly, now that Qingran has been knighted, he can take advantage of the situation. As long as he does not do anything harmful to Qingran, he will surely be able to Do something.

"That's it, just tell daddy. How can the old man treat his son badly? No matter if dad agrees or not, you just do it." Hong rolled his eyes secretly, and the child's dad looked very shrewd. Yes, how could you be so confused on this matter?Although the old man favored his third nephew, he didn't treat the other children and grandchildren as other people's children. As long as he didn't violate the old man's taboo, how could he toss his children and grandchildren for no reason?

Zhong Zhengyi patted his forehead. During these days, he really thought too much about things, and he was confused.What Hong said, he told his daughter-in-law before, why did he forget it?Zhong Zhengzheng was in a good mood, with a slight smile on his face: "Thanks for your reminder this time, otherwise, my thoughts will be biased. Okay, just do as you said, and I will go to my hometown when I return to my hometown in the [-]th year." Discuss with dad."

After the village head Zhong Zexi confirmed the address of the man's mansion in Jingxiang, Yan Zhen set off with his entourage.As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw a wooden box on the table, turned his head and asked, "Who sent this?"

"Master, Mrs. Zhong gave it to Xiao."

Yan Zhen frowned lightly, not knowing what the Zhong family meant. He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't think much about it, and opened it directly. There were a few small porcelain bottles in the box. Yan Zhen picked one up and looked at it. A bottle of painkillers, with instructions on it, can relieve several kinds of pain in the body, and looked through the other bottles, most of which are health-preserving medicines, which seem to be quite ordinary, nothing special.

Just because these medicines were inconspicuous, Yan Zhen's expression relaxed instead.He is in a high position, so he can't collect things indiscriminately, especially for people who are not familiar with him, so he has to take precautions.In the officialdom, he was intrigued by intrigues, because he received things that should not be collected, and he was caught by the opponent and crushed, or, it was simply a trap set by the opponent, and he got into the opponent's trap because of such a thing. Also too worthless.

Yan Zhen put the box away, and planned to have the doctor take a look at it when he returned home. If there is no problem, he might as well use it.On the surface, Jingxiangnan was awarded the title by the prescriptions to solve the epidemic. Yan Zhen didn't think that these medicines would be children's nonsense. However, medicines should not be taken indiscriminately. The government doctor saw it, but he didn't dare to use it.

The third day of marriage was the day when Jian Mingyu returned home.This morning, Jian Mingchen returned to his home, and he was the only one in Jian's family at present, so he had to be Jian Mingyu's natal brother.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu went to Jian's house with a bunch of things.When Zhong Qingran thought of this, he couldn't stop laughing. Except for eating some of these gifts at noon and giving a little to Jian Mingyu's grandparents, the rest would be brought back to Zhong's house as they were.

There is no way, Jian Mingchen is too young, he can't afford a family by himself, even he, the only member of Jane's family, is brought up by Zhong's family, so naturally it is impossible to leave a return gift to mold in Jane's family.If it weren't for the rules, Zhong Qingran wouldn't even bother to do this front work.

After sitting at home for a while, Jian Mingyu took Zhong Qingran to his grandparents' house.Mr. Jane and his wife have not yet separated. They live with their two sons, and there are more than a dozen people.

Now Zhong Qingran and Jian Mingyu's identities are very different from before, Shi Shi and others dare not make mistakes.They really want to repair the relationship, but unfortunately they also understand that it seems too difficult to do so.Besides, they can't save face to please the juniors, their family is not so poor that they can't get rid of it, so they don't need to wrong themselves like this.

Zhong Qingran looked at the distorted smiles of the people in front of him, and secretly shook his head.I thought to myself, since I don't want to laugh, it's better not to laugh, this look makes people feel insincere, if I see him at night, I might get a heart attack from fright.

The relationship between Jian Mingyu and his grandparents was very stiff, so he naturally had nothing to say to them, so after exhausting all the etiquette, he pulled Zhong Qingran to get up and walk back.

When the figures of the two disappeared at the gate, Shi's face darkened.It's not that she has no regrets in her heart, but things have become like this, and it is impossible to restore them.What's more, she was not reconciled, how did Jian Mingyu, a white-eyed wolf who was not familiar with him, have such a good life, he actually went to the Zhong family!

Right now, the two identities are too disparate, there is no possibility of confrontation at all, no matter how much dissatisfaction and hatred there is, Shi can only hold it in his heart.I just don't know if the little white-eyed wolf has the blessing to sit in the lady's seat all the time.She has seen and heard quite a few, that once rich and powerful, children from poor families either take in a few beautiful concubines, or leave their wives in disgrace. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

During the New Year's Eve, Tong Shi and Jian Mingyu are the busiest. Just preparing a meal is enough for the two of them to manage for a long time.

"Grandma, are you feeling better now?" Zhong Qingran rubbed Tong's shoulder skillfully, and said with some disapproval, "Grandma, if you can't bear it, let's stop doing the rest."

Tong's eyes were closed, enjoying the good craftsmanship of her precious grandson comfortably. When she heard this, she was not happy: "Well, if you want to eat good food before, you have to count the portion. Now it's hard to get good food. The days are over, so naturally we have to prepare to be decent, and let those who looked down on our family see it."

"Then grandma, pay more attention to your body, don't tire yourself out." Zhong Qingran didn't persuade her too much. The atmosphere of the festival in the village under the New Year's Day was just right, and Tong's heart was at ease. She didn't let her do what she wanted to do, but did something to her body. No, in the future, it would be better for him to look at Tong's body more.

"It's still good at Qingran's workmanship. After being pressed by you like this, the arm is much more comfortable." Tong's eyebrows stretched with a smile, and he tapped on the shoulder that was no longer sore, and said with emotion, "Oh, it's really old, this old arm Old-legged, capable of such a little work, I can't bear it. If I was young, I would work in the field for a day, sleep and live like a tiger. It's really incomparable. Fortunately, I have Mingyu to help, otherwise, I will rely on me alone It’s really too much to take care of.”

"Grandmother, isn't there still me here? If it doesn't work, grandpa can go too." Zhong Qingran tried his best to show his existence, and by the way, he brought Mr. Zhong along, "If you can't do anything else well, you can still do it if you beat him."

Tong Shi was overjoyed, and laughed out of breath: "Okay, okay, grandma knows what Qingran can do, so forget about your grandpa, it's fine if he doesn't help."

Mr. Zhong glanced at Tong who was smiling happily, but said nothing.He has lived to this age, and he hasn't even been in the kitchen a few times. It's just adding to the chaos if he participates.Mr. Zhong himself knew this, so he let Mrs. Tong arrange him at will.Tong's sense of propriety is quite good, there is no outsider in the room at the moment, so she doesn't take too much face.

"Qing Ran, what do you plan to do with the Hericium erinaceus planted at Mingyu's house? Mingyu has married into our family, and will follow him tomorrow morning. If there are still people going to Jian's house every day, it's a bit eye-catching." Mr. Zhong accepted With a smile, he said with a straight face.

"It's okay. After the harvest of these Hericium erinaceus in a few days, they will no longer be planted there, and they will all be transferred here." Zhong Qingran had already considered this point. I don't want to move around and toss, and I can save a lot of work by harvesting and transporting directly to my home.

"You just know what you have in mind." In this matter, Mr. Zhong didn't intervene much, and let it go from the very beginning, but he still reminded, "Our family is no different from Mingyu's. Don't talk about people coming and going. There are always people coming to the door, so be careful when you go in and out of the cellar."

"Well, Mingyu and I will be careful." The Zhong family has two cellars, one is a vegetable cellar at the back of the house, the other is a grain cellar, and the entrance is in the east room.Zhong Qingran wasn't too worried, as long as he kept an eye on the yard through the window when he came out, he should be able to avoid being bumped into.

Zhong Qingran thought, this is always an expedient measure. The secret recipe in his hand is not limited to mushroom cultivation. If he had to do everything by himself, the efficiency would be too low. If he wanted to develop and grow the Zhong family, he would have to wait until the year of the monkey?

Zhong Qingran knew that from the moment he was conferred the title, he had been tied to the forces behind Shopkeeper Fu.Maybe shopkeeper Fu and their opponents may not see Zhong Qingran in their eyes, but if the boat he is traveling on is super heavy, he will not be spared, so why not spread out all the stalls?In this way, not only can you add fire to your side, but you will also have more bargaining chips. Even if the person behind the scenes wins and wants to move the Zhong family, you have to carefully weigh whether it is worth it. If there are more benefits, the Zhong family will be safe.

Before, Zhong Qingran had always been relatively passive. He always considered gains and losses when doing things, and he would take the initiative to avoid any hidden dangers.

Such a standard of conduct in life was not a problem in the past, but it is not right now.According to Zhong Qingran's conjecture, he is likely to have been involved in the battle for the position of the prince. No matter whether it is the prince or the prince who is cooperating with him, or it is not what he guessed, it is impossible to avoid this dispute in all likelihood. If that person loses, then he The cooperation with that person will inevitably surface, and it will be difficult for the Zhong family not to be implicated.

That's all right, due to Zhong Qingran's previous caution, the scale of mushroom cultivation is limited, straw mushrooms and the like earn very little, no matter who it is, they don't pay attention to it, even Hericium erinaceus, due to insufficient production, It's not as profitable as Qinghefang.But this item is a rare item, favored by princes and nobles, and the best product is even supplied to the royal family. Using it as a gift will have a lot of face, which cannot be measured by money.

Zhong Qingran didn't know before, but now he wants to understand, what is the difference between his behavior and those businessmen who invest in a certain party in troubled times?Although his investment is not large, the nature is the same.

What's more terrible is that Zhong Qingran rescued that person twice in a row. The outbreak of the epidemic was on the surface. It is estimated that everyone in the capital who should know knew about it. The other time, he didn't know.That person's opponent must have hated him so much by now. If that person is defeated, can he have something good to eat?

Although Zhong Qingran is not on the cusp of the storm, and he doesn't have the capital now, he has already stepped onto the cliff. Whether he stands facing the wind or falls off the cliff depends on the success or failure of that person, and he is one of the pushers. He is very weak, and if he is ignored, it might turn people over in the gutter.

This was Zhong Qingran's first year after the separation of the family. There were only four of them in the family, plus a brother-in-law. There were only five people in total.To Mr. and Mrs. Zhong, who were used to living with a large family, this seemed a little deserted.Fortunately, on New Year's Eve, all the children and grandchildren of the two elders gathered together. As soon as there were more children, the atmosphere rose, and it was lively for a while before everyone dispersed.

At noon on the day of the Lantern Festival, a carriage drove out of Zhong's house and galloped towards Pingyang County.

Jian Mingyu sat on the hood of the car and drove, while Zhong Qingran and the others nestled in the warm cabin.

"Mingyu, is it cold, do you want to add more clothes?" Zhong Qingran pushed aside the heavy car curtain, stuck out half of his head, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's not too cold." Jian Mingyu focused on the front, leaving only the back of Zhong Qingran's head.

Zhong Qingran thought for a while, then turned around and took a copper hand stove and handed it to Jian Mingyu: "It's windy outside, so it's not cold. As soon as I opened the curtain, the cold wind swished in. It can penetrate. You take this, there is a stove in the carriage, so you can’t use it.”

"Okay, I'll use it, you hurry back to the car, it won't be good if you freeze grandma." Jian Mingyu touched the copper hand stove in his hand, it was warm, warm to the heart, his only pair exposed outside The eyes seemed to be a little brighter than before.

This copper hand stove was tampered with by Zhong Qingran, and it was transformed directly with luck. It is a seamless piece without any seams, and only enough air holes are left, so that there is no need to worry about it being knocked over in the bumps.

Swaying, the carriage drove into Pingyang County.

"Mingyu, let me down here. You guys go to Qinghefang first, and I'll go there when I'm done." Zhong Qingran jumped out of the carriage, tightened his clothes and hat, stretched his legs, and strode towards Tongfu Inn.

Zhong Qingran sat in the elegant bamboo garden and waited for a long time before he saw shopkeeper Fu.

"What's the rush to find me at this time?" There is a big gap between the two of them now, but shopkeeper Fu is not embarrassed, and jokingly said, "Should I call you Young Master Zhong or Master Zhong?"

"Business Manager Fu was joking, just call me Qingran."

After the joke, Shopkeeper Fu straightened his face and asked again: "Why are you here this time?"

Zhong Qingran took out a porcelain bottle and a few pieces of paper from his pocket, and pushed it in front of shopkeeper Fu: "The porcelain bottle contains hemostatic medicine, and the effect is better than that provided by the pharmacy. You can ask someone to try the medicine. As for the medicine on these papers You will know the content after reading it."

Shopkeeper Fu didn't know, so he heard that there was medicine in the porcelain bottle, so he put it down, picked up a few pieces of paper and looked through it carefully.The more he looked, the more frightened he became.It said the prevention and treatment of smallpox, as well as some first aid measures and the means of reducing wound infection.These are all extremely practical medical prescriptions, the former has no effect for the time being, and the latter can be said to be of great use to the army. As long as the above is true, it will be of great help to the master.

Smallpox has not appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years, but every time they appear, they will ravage for a long time. Whether the infected people can survive it depends on God's will.If the method on paper works, then...

Shopkeeper Fu is no ordinary shopkeeper. When Qiu Shaoan is away, he is in charge of all affairs in Pingyang County.

Pingyang County is the ancestral home of Qiu Shaoan's family. It is not far from his fiefdom. This is the place where his forces are entrenched. If he hadn't been seriously injured on the battlefield, he has been recuperating for the past few years and controlled the outside world. If there are omissions, people will not take advantage of the loopholes that time, causing the carriage he was riding in to lose control, and the horses galloped wildly on the street. As for the flood, Qiu Shaoan was already prepared, and the guards he brought were enough to protect him. It's not that he was negligent again.

"Just tell me what you want." Shopkeeper Fu concealed the surprise in his eyes, and said straight to the point.

"Shopkeeper Fu, don't be so serious. It's really not a big deal. No, it should be said that to you, it's just a trivial matter." Zhong Qingran knew that he didn't have the capital to negotiate terms, but from the attitude of Shopkeeper Fu and the others towards him, he could tell I can see that as long as it is not a life-and-death hatred, they should be willing to help him, "My good brother is under house arrest by his family, I want to ask you to bring him out safely and escort him back to Hewan Village. The family has nothing to do with it, well, I will write the situation here."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Qingran took out another piece of paper from his bosom, and there was much less content on it, only a few sentences.

Shopkeeper Fu took it over, glanced at it and read it, put the paper in his arms, and asked, "The surname is Zhong, are they from your clan?"

"Well, it's just that the fifth server was released earlier, but Qingshu and I were able to play together. I went to Shangjing to see him. Who would have thought that he would be trapped in a small courtyard for a whole year. How could I look at him like this? suffer."

Shopkeeper Fu lowered his eyes slightly and thought about it. The matter itself is not difficult to deal with. The trouble is that this is a family matter, and others seem to be meddling in it.No matter, this matter is really simple. As for who the master sends to implement the plan and how to implement it, that is not his concern, he just needs to report this matter to the up.

"That's all, no other requirements?"

"Well, that's all. Please bring Zhong Qingshu to Hewan Village safely as soon as possible. If you don't bother, let Da Changfang give up the position of patriarch to my grandfather, that would be the best. If not, we will Find your own way." Zhong Qingran took a sip of tea and kindly suggested, "If you need it, I can also train a group of pharmacists for you."

"Okay, leave this matter to me. I believe it won't be long before you can meet your good brother."

"Then please."

Shopkeeper Fu packed up his things and opened the door to leave when he saw no one in the corridor.

Zhong Qingran sat for a while before wrapping himself up tightly and exiting the Tongfu Inn.

Snowflakes began to fall outside, and there were many, I don't know if it will delay the Lantern Festival at night.

Zhong Qingran walked quickly through the streets and alleys. When he came over just now, there were still many pedestrians on the road. When it snowed, many people hid in their houses.But this can't stop people's enthusiasm for the Lantern Festival. Look, the street vendors have pulled up the awnings, and the shops have also set up their stalls outside. It seems that as long as the road is not buried, the night It should be very lively.

Zhong Qingran didn't bring an umbrella, and when he arrived at Qinghefang, a layer of snow had already accumulated on his hat and shirt, and he had to pat it for a long time to clean it off.Fortunately, it was snow, not rain, otherwise, Zhong Qingran would not have dared to walk such a long distance in the rain in the cold weather.

"Qing Ran, come here and warm your hands. It's snowing a lot outside, and I was still thinking about whether I should ask Mingyu to bring you an umbrella, but you are so careless, I thought, and you came back . " Tong moved her body out to make room for a seat by the brazier.

Seeing this, Jian Mingyu stepped forward and touched Zhong Qingran's outer robe. Seeing that his hands were wet, he got up and went to the carriage to get another leather jacket: "Put it on, take off the one you are wearing, and I will give it to you." Bake dry."

Zhong Qingran didn't feel much at first, but when Jian Mingyu said it, he felt a chill in his limbs and bones. He wisely changed his wet clothes and put them on the edge of the brazier Warm up by the fire, and after a while, the whole person will warm up.

"It's snowing a lot today. I don't know if I can go back tomorrow. There are still several livestock to feed at home." Tong was a little worried about the family.

"Grandma, didn't you leave the key for mother? She will take care of it." Zhong Qingran didn't care much. Before leaving, Mingyu took care of everything for the two eagles. Apart from that, there was really nothing else. Need them to worry about.

"Yeah, I forgot about grandma." Tong's expression changed again, "If the snow keeps falling like this, the snow will be too thick, and it will be useless to watch the lanterns at night."

This is true, if you can't even get out the door, then this Lantern Festival will be too boring.
