The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

Qu Hongxiang still had no idea, but at this moment she was stared at by several pairs of eyes and did not dare to look at Xue Yinsong, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "I... still don't want to..."

Shopkeeper Li was in a hurry, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I also gave away the household utensils in the village. Girls, don't think it's too little, they are all... good things."

Xue Yinsong also felt that the price was right, and immediately urged her to say: "Hongxiang, no matter whether you eat or wear this jade, holding it will only make you uncomfortable. Why don't you just exchange it for some money so that you can live a better life in the future? You can't live long in my house." , now it is a good thing to have a property, shopkeeper Li, are you right when I say this?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Shopkeeper Li's brow was dripping with sweat. After ten years of hard work, he had saved a small house. He had just raised a concubine and hadn't been there twice yet. Well, this is another empty boil with a bamboo basket. The cooked duck went to the sky... What a fucking bad luck!

Qu Hongxiang bit her lower lip and remained silent. If Li Mingshi stood up and said a few soft words like "I was the one who was sorry for you back then", she immediately returned the jade pendant to him, but the other party didn't look at her at all. Turning her body away from the window, as if the matter had nothing to do with her, she felt annoyed in her heart: "Okay, then let's have the land lease and the jade in one hand."

Shopkeeper Li heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted the butler to serve tea, went to get the contract and completed the delivery, and waited until the Huang Feiyu lock was in his hand before slowly exhaling.

Seeing the end of the matter, Xue Yinsong dragged Qu Hongxiang away without delay.

This jade seems to have a lot of background, otherwise, how could shopkeeper Li be willing to buy it back at such a cost?Xue Yinsong had bad thoughts in his heart, wondering if this jade would cause trouble all over the place?

Qu Hongxiang didn't follow Li Ming when she saw Li Ming. Although she expected it, she was slightly disappointed, and finally turned around and went out.

Even though shopkeeper Li had just lost a Zhuangzi and a hundred acres of fertile land, he didn't have any special expression on his face, instead he graciously sent the two out.

After returning home and closing the door, Xue Yinsong smiled and said, "It's pretty lucky to have such a house. You can be regarded as an independent family in the future."

Qu Hongxiang hummed unhappily and said, "I would still like to stay here with you."

Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "You are considered a landlord if you have Zhuangzi, what are you doing? Rest at home and find a matchmaker in a few days to plan to marry early."

Qu Hongxiang managed to raise her spirits: "I have no idea right now, why, you don't want to take me in?"

Xue Yinsong smiled and said: "You don't eat much, so it doesn't matter if you take him in. If you want to live, you can live here first, and we can talk about it later."

Qu Hongxiang felt extremely tired, turned around and went into the room to rest.

Xiucai jumped out of the room and asked with a smile, Xue Yinsong roughly explained the process, and said with a smile: "This girl is lucky, is she gone? At least the house is in my hands."

Who would have thought that Qu Hongxiang heard it with the tip of her ears, and she rushed out with anger: "What are you talking about! I didn't go for that Zhuangzi! If you like it, I will give it to you! Whoever cares about it will take it!" He threw the bunch of keys on the ground and closed the door with a bang.

Xiucai quickly winked, picked up the key and put it at her door, and hurriedly dragged Xue Yinsong into the house.

Xue Yinsong is really speechless. In his opinion, it is better to keep people without money than to go to money. However, women's minds are always difficult to figure out. Maybe she thinks that money insults love and pollutes the soul.

The little scholar closed the door and stuck out her tongue: "Sister Qu is so fierce, did you guys quarrel there?"

Xue Yinsong grinned: "What are you arguing about? Then shopkeeper Li softened when he saw the jade. It seems that the jade is quite valuable."

The little scholar shook his head: "That jade may have a special meaning, otherwise how would he pay so much money to redeem it? Do you think he will take revenge?"

Xue Yinsong thought about it, and said with a smile: "There is such a possibility, I really didn't think about it that much at the time, everyone should be more careful in the future."

The little scholar asked again: "How about your food delivery?"

"It's almost there. I'm ready. I'm just waiting for the news from Lord Que. I'm going to go with the boat. It may take half a month. Only you and Hongxiang are at home. Please restrain yourself first. When I come back, I will accompany you for a walk to relax."

The little scholar smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm bored now, so I'll go to Lanyueju for a walk, if I'm okay, I can go back to live in Chenjiacun."

Xue Yinsong couldn't help but patted his head and comforted him: "I'll accompany you out to play after I'm done. Where do you want to go?"

The little scholar's eyes sparkled: "Go to the capital."

Xue Yinsong grimaced: "No, it's too far away, I can't walk away for such a long time."

"I can..."

"no!"

The little scholar said resentfully: "I also went to the exam by myself last time."

"It's not safe recently, better be careful." Xue Yinsong had a feeling that shopkeeper Li would not give up a Zhuangzi so easily. Although it was Qu Hongxiang's matter, he also helped him.

Que Hongze acted very quickly, but within five days he sent someone to notify the pier to collect the rice. When Xue Yinsong arrived, three thousand dans of old rice had been neatly piled up in the vacant room at the pier.

A boat just left yesterday, and the boat will pass by tomorrow evening. Xue Yinsong plans to take the [-] tans of rice to Tianba Village for digestion, and then rent a shop in Deyang to start selling rice.

He originally wanted to go along with him, but Fuchun County had to deliver the [-] tans of rice to the guild. This matter was so important that he had to do it himself, so he could only let Qiangzi escort the boat to go first. He repeatedly told Qiangzi to divide the rice in Chenjia Village first, and never enter the county on his own initiative.

Qiangzi and him grew up together, they can be regarded as brothers and sisters, although they lack decisiveness, they still have good execution ability: "Don't worry about Brother Xue, I will take care of this matter for you properly. Such cheap rice, my father..."

Xue Yinsong hurriedly patted him and said: "Don't be sure now, Guan Gong stopped Cao Cao and issued a military order, and finally released him on Huarong Road, as long as you don't be impulsive, I can't go this time, you should think about everything Just don’t make up your own mind, as the saying goes, don’t seek merit but seek no fault, you remember my words: as long as the rice is safely transported to Tianba Village and then properly distributed to the villagers, it will be the first merit.”

Qiangzi nodded in agreement, with a serious expression on his face: "Don't worry, Brother Xue, I will be careful."

After thinking about it, Xue Yinsong didn't have anything to say. The so-called military orders abroad are not accepted. Many things are useful if they are not planned in advance. In the end, he had to pat him on the shoulder.

Sending off Qiangzi and returning to the rice shop, the boy and Qu Hongxiang are busy in front, the number of people buying rice is not as much as before, and the two of them can handle it completely.

Now he has earned some money, but Xue Yinsong feels dissatisfied and wants to do something more.The rice shop's business was just like that, but the crops in Chenjia Village were not yet mature. To be honest, he had no idea what to do and how to develop in the future.

It seems that there is no future for continuing to develop rice shops. After all, there are already seven rice shops in Fuchun County, and the consumption in the county is fixed. Catering is very promising, but he has neither technology nor background for the time being.

Qu Hongxiang used to run a cloth shop, but she said that the profit is not too high and there must be a master cutting in the shop, so it doesn't work.

After thinking about this big circle, it is really difficult to do something more.

Xue Yinsong brewed a pot of tea and sat in the yard, inviting the little scholar to come to the symposium.

The little scholar sat down and smiled, "I don't know anything about this, so I can't talk nonsense."

"What's the matter? It's just a casual chat. You usually read a lot. Do you know about other ways of making a living?"

The little scholar shook his head: "It's better to ask Sister Qu than to ask me."

"Her family has opened a cloth store before, but I don't have such an idea for the time being." Xue Yinsong sighed slightly, "It is risky to cross the line, especially opening a cloth store has a bit of technical content."

The little scholar thought about it and suggested: "If you talk to Uncle Xue, the old man always has a unique opinion." Xue Yinsong's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! But after the rice is delivered, I have to go south with the boat Go to Meng, and return to the countryside after the matter over there is over."

The little scholar hurriedly jumped up and begged, "Take me with you. I'm really bored at home. Brother Fu isn't here recently."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know. My family said he was on a long trip." Little Xiucai rushed over and shook his arm, begging in a soft tone: "Don't worry about having you by my side? Besides, what can happen? If it doesn't work, I'll be there It’s okay to stay in Tianba Village, I’ve never been on a boat when I grow up, please.”

Xue Yinsong was soft but not hard, especially as a scholar, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "I'll be busy then and I won't have time to take care of you. Aren't you just as bored?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Xiao Xiucai replied with a smile, "I've never been on a boat before, it's very novel."

Xue Yinsong had no choice but to agree, and at the end he also told him to be obedient on the road, how could the little scholar care so much, and he went to pack his clothes with a cheer, Xue Yinsong sighed, hoping that he would not cause trouble this time out.

On the third day, Que Hongze's [-] tans of rice finally arrived. Because of the huge amount of rice, they stopped five miles outside the city. Xue Yinsong and the He family set off for the pier immediately after delivery.

Because the cargo loaded on this ship was too heavy, it only carried [-] loads. In order not to waste time, it loaded the ship overnight and left the next morning.

The boss of the boat was an old man in his sixties, surnamed Tu, with gray hair and a hale and hearty spirit. When Xue Yinsong got the last bag of rice on the boat, he yelled at someone to take up the planks and lift the anchor.

Looking at the dark river in the distance, Xue Yinsong frowned and said, "Shall we take a night boat? Is it safe?" Old Man Tu smiled and said, "This wide river is shallow, and night boats are easy to hit rocks. One is to prevent grounding, and the other is to prevent people from boarding the ship."

Only then did Xue Yinsong understand, and asked with interest: "How many days can we get to Nanmeng?"

The old man Tu lighted the pot of dry smoke without haste, looked at the vast night and smiled and said: "The boat is already full, and there will be no docks at the rear docks. As long as the southeast wind is good, you can reach Nanmeng in seven days."

Xue Yinsong smiled and said, "Uncle Lao is worried."

Old Man Tu looked at him and smiled slightly: "Brother, you're welcome."

There are only a few independent rooms on the cargo ship, and the rest are all Datong shops. Because Xue Yinsong is a big customer, he was allocated a single room.

I fell asleep listening to the sound of the river all night, and set sail before dawn the next day. Facing the slight wind in the morning, the old man Tu gave an order from a distance to lower the full sail. I only felt the hull vibrate, and the sail was tightened and the wind moved forward quickly. .

The little scholar woke up with a start, put on his clothes a little excitedly, and lay down by the window to watch, only to see the steamer boat on the side of the side entering the channel of the Kuanshui River.

Although this is an ordinary river and there is no scenery on both sides, Xiucai watched it intently.It's just that the wind on the river was cold and damp, and I sneezed after a while.

Xue Yinsong hurriedly urged him to put on his clothes, the two were chatting and laughing when the servant knocked on the door and said that Dacang was open for breakfast.
