clang farming notes

Let's say that Jiang's father and son sent Du An away, Jiang Maolin went to rest in the guest room, and left Jiang Yu to settle down the caravan.Jiang Maolin is now in his forties, and his body seems to be falling apart after a long trip. Thinking about the first time he was in the exchange market, he could still make money by himself even if he stayed outside the city.Take my son for two more walks to practice and practice, and I will hand over this mess to him.

When Jiang Yu arranged the people and goods one by one, it was already dark.Jiang Maolin took a short rest in the afternoon, but felt much better, and had the strength to explain some matters to his son.After all, Jiang Yu was young, and he couldn't keep his words in his heart. He didn't feel uncomfortable calling someone uncle who didn't look much older than him. Besides, seeing Duan's attire, he always felt uncomfortable. He was smiling, and he really couldn't tell how capable he was. Now that his father was in a good mood, he couldn't help asking.

Jiang Maolin scolded with a smile: "What do you know? Some people are really capable if they don't say anything. Some people are very flamboyant. When it comes to the real chapter, they can't do it. This Duan has already fought me. After so many years of dealing with him, how can I still not know him? It must be appropriate to entrust him with something, and you don’t need to worry about it. Although you are young, you are much more mature than you in handling things. In the future, you will inevitably ask him for help. It won’t hurt to call him uncle.”

Jiang Yu sneered: "I always heard that the folk customs in the north are tough, so I thought that the people who can do things here must be tall, strong and vigorous? Why don't you be fooled when you see such a smiling face? Dad You always say how capable this man is, but looking at him, he is not as prestigious as the local rich man in the south of our country."

Jiang Maolin squinted at him: "If you only look at people with clothes, I wouldn't dare to hand over this mess to you!" After all, he explained to his son all aspects of his dealings with Duan. At that time, if he had any prejudice against Duane in his heart, would he still point to others in the future?Don't say anything perfunctory on the surface, you do business with so many caravans every year, so you can't see this!

On the other hand, Jiang Yu was a little speechless after hearing what his father said: "I don't know if this person can do it. According to what you said, he has been smooth enough these years, and he has caught up with all good things. I reckon, if When things are going so smoothly, it may not be impossible to change to an honest one."

Jiang Maolin shook his head. His own son has followed his stature to manage the family business since he was a teenager, so he is a little arrogant and easily disobedient.I had to break it down and say: This Duan himself moved from the south. I think he was still young at that time, so how could he stand on his feet so easily?It is true to say that he got the credit of the mutual market, but is this credit easy to get?Money touches people's hearts, and Jiang Maolin would not believe that no one would trip him up, but he was able to occupy this hand, and he has held it steadily for so many years, this person must be capable.Even if it is really like what Duan himself said, it all depends on the support of everyone, then he must have the ability to be supported by others, that is also ability!You can say whatever you want, but when your upper lip touches your lower lip, what can't you say?It still depends on how people behave.It is better to watch his words than to watch his actions. This is truly reliable.

Hearing what his father said, Jiang Yu woke up a little and nodded again and again.He himself is not stupid, but as the young master of the Jiang family, he has always been favored by others since he was a child. When this happened unexpectedly, he still hasn't come to his senses.

Jiang Maolin pointed him again: "What do you think of the food in this store?"

Jiang Yu was a little puzzled, but answered honestly: "It's not as good as our south, but it's okay on this road."

Jiang Maolin said with a smile: "Look, he brought a child with him today, and the snacks on the table only moved a little bit. It was almost noon when we came, and the child didn't move much—"

Jiang Yu had a flash of inspiration: "He does not lack this in his family, or his family is better than this." If so, then Duan should not be poor, but rather low-key.

Jiang Maolin rejoiced: "There is no shortage, we will know when we go, I think it will not be shabby to entertain guests at his house, haha."

The father and son had a whole day's rest before packing up and taking a servant to Qingniu Village.Now Qingniu Village is the most affluent around Jinyang City, anyone who looks for it will know it, so don't worry about not being able to find it.This is the spring day, the vegetation is rejuvenating, the wild flowers are blooming, but the scenery along the way is not bad.Most of Yanbei is flat land, and at a glance, there are many farmers working in the fields beside the road.A few years ago, the south was hit by a disaster, and many people came to the north. Fortunately, the land here is sparsely populated, and some of it is uncultivated wasteland.

From the official road to the fork in Qingniu Village, the road is actually quite smooth.When they entered the village, a few people were secretly a little surprised - the village is mostly brick houses, although it doesn't look new, the rows of neat houses still look quite shocking, it is the bustling place in the south, There are few houses in the countryside that have brick and tile houses.Looking closely, the roads in the village are smooth and clean.It's just that it's the busy season of farming, and it's not uncommon to see idle adults in the village. How come there aren't even village children playing?After finally finding someone to find out the location, they headed eastward.

Sure enough, the first house in the east of the village is also a common red brick house in the village. Before I could take a closer look, I was attracted by the sound of books coming from the courtyard.I was sighing in my heart, someone had already come out there, and it was Duan.When several people saw each other, Du An stepped inside, while someone led the servants of Jiang's family to park the animals in the courtyard.

It turned out that Du's family had some money because of Du'an's business, but it was not easy to publicize in the village after all, so they lived in the original house quite well.It's just that there are more and more students in the family, it is not convenient to come in and out, and the children are getting bigger and bigger, Du An and Du Zhongping have some unspeakable things to do, and they feel that there is not enough space.It's just that Du Zhongping is used to being cautious and refuses to be the first bird.It wasn't until Du Zhongping won the election two years ago, and the main family in the village married his son, and broke ground and built a house first, that the Du family wantonly surrounded the wild land to the east, and built a spacious two-entry mansion.Not to mention, a side courtyard was built at the east end, and the family's livestock, carts and horses were moved there, and a row house was built. Sometimes the helpers of the family who are busy with farming can borrow it.

The first yard I entered, naturally there was still a row of upside-down seats facing south and north for a private school. Not only children from my own village, but also many children from other villages came to study.The main room for receiving guests and the study of the Du family are also here, and there are also some side rooms where students can occasionally stay overnight.The second entrance is where the Du family's own people live.There is also a large vegetable garden at the back.Fortunately, Du's house is on the edge of the village, otherwise it would be rare to have such a big place.

Du An introduced the people into the main room, and when the guests and hosts were seated, someone brought boiling water, and Du An made tea himself: "The country house is simple, but I'm neglectful."

Jiang Maolin said with a smile: "Where is this? The country house is clean and the sound of books is pleasant to the ears. It is much better than our abacus ringing all day long." Looking along the way, there is nothing specially decorated in the Du family's courtyard. There is a pavilion inside, with stone tables and benches neatly arranged, and a few flower trees beside it, which have already budded, and a few flowers have bloomed sporadically.The same is true in this room. There are tables and chairs and other things. It looks simple, but it is by no means crude—the materials and workmanship are all good.

Du An chatted with Jiang's father and son, but it was speculative.When Jiang Maolin asked about the family members, Duan apologized: several people in the family are busy working in the fields and teaching, so they will have to wait for a while before coming over.The Jiang family expressed their understanding. It was the busy season of farming, so it was no wonder. Besides, they came here today mainly to make friends with Duan. The people around saw him as soon as they saw him. Even if they didn't see him, there was no loss.It was almost noon when the school closed.A few people were talking happily, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw the child walking out happily.When the children were almost gone, three people came out from the front room and came straight here.

————————————————————————————————————————

The leader is about 23 or [-] years old, followed by a [-]-year-old boy and a [-]-year-old child. Jiang Maolin has seen them all, so the first person must be that Du Juren.At the moment, they didn't dare to take it too seriously. They stood up and waited for Duan to introduce them. They saluted each other before sitting down to talk again.

Jiang's father and son are used to dealing with people, so they naturally talk to whoever they meet.First of all, I praised Hui Jiner and Shuisheng, especially Jiner. If he passes the college entrance examination this time, he will be a serious scholar. At his current age, even if he is placed in the south, he is still young and has a bright future. There is development.The two adults of the Du family have always regarded Jin'er as the lifeblood, with the common faults of parents, their own children are good no matter how they look at them, how can they be unhappy when they are seriously praised?With this Huatou, the chatter became more and more speculative, and Jiang's father and son gave gifts to the two children - because last year I heard that Jin'er passed the Tongsheng examination, and the gift was the Four Treasures of the Study, which is still Usually, it is rare for Jiang Maolin to take the trouble to collect all kinds of articles and annotations by scholars in the south.The style of writing in the South has flourished since ancient times, which is really suitable for those who want to do scientific research, and it is obvious that they have put their heart into it.

The members of the Du family were very grateful for this, and the conversation became more heated. Du Zhongping not only chatted with Jiang Maolin about "Brother Jiang" and "Brother Du Xian", but also told Jin'er to "take you with me." The elder brother of the Jiang family is going around."

For a while, we had lunch together again, and the atmosphere during the dinner was harmonious.Both Jiang Maolin and Du An were eloquent, and the two younger ones did not give in. Du Zhongping just watched with a smile, and occasionally had a drink with Jiang Maolin and others.

Originally, the Du family repeatedly kept the two of them to stay for two days before leaving, but Jiang's father and son were worried about the business, so they resigned.The Du family had already prepared the gift in return, and sent them out together, that's all.

Besides, when they go back at night, the two families think about it separately.

Let's say that after Du's family rested at night, Du Zhongping and Du An lay down and chatted.Duan asked: "Why are you so warm to the Jiang family and his son today? It's not like you usually are. Although the Jiang family gave the gift well, it was because I was entrusted to take care of his son in the future. You don't have to feel wronged for me. socialize with them."

Du Zhongping lazily smiled and said: "Who is for you? It's a beautiful idea! He has a heart, and it is obvious that he wants to make friends with you sincerely. I can't lose your face, can I? It seems that I am frivolous."

Duan still didn't believe it: "You are not like this on weekdays, but later on you are so affectionate with them and call them brothers and sisters! There must be some reason!"

Du Zhongping turned over, faced Du An, and said with a smile: "I can't hide it from you. I have some small plans in mind." It turned out that Du Zhongping and Jiang Maolin heard that Jiang Maolin's uncle's family was in the business of medicinal materials during the conversation, so he couldn't help but My heart became active.

It's not for others, Fang Sheng and Zhao Ba and his wife have Shuisheng by their side, because they are young, they can't do without people all the time, and the family didn't have much money at that time, so naturally they couldn't afford to hire people. The two were afraid that if they invited others to help the child, they would not kiss them. Fang Sheng had to put aside his work as a veterinarian and concentrate on raising the child.

Now Shuisheng is in his teens, and he also grew up with Du Zhongping, so he has a bit of spirituality in reading.Fang Sheng's two sons are eager to love, and seeing that some children in the village have already passed the Tongsheng examination, seeing that they will have fame, they naturally think that their own children will also follow this path.Du Zhongping is also optimistic about this, not mentioning Shuisheng, he has been raised by him since he was a child, and he has already had feelings for him. If it really happens in the future, he and Jin'er can also take care of each other.Du Zhongping has high expectations for his family, Jiner, and the child himself is willing to make progress. One of the two elders in his family passed the imperial examination, and the other went into business. There have been many disturbances in the past few years, and Jiner is facing these twists and turns in his heart. It is very clear to hear and see, and the behavior is more reassuring. With such a temperament, Du Zhongping said that it is good to go out and venture.But he didn't forget the truth that it's hard to do it alone. The students he taught knew it well. It's true that apart from his own Jiner, the only ones who are intelligent in reading are those born in water.

Now that Shui Sheng is busy studying with Du's father and son, Fang Sheng is free.I also thought about studying veterinary medicine or something, but if it is an aquatic scientific examination in the future, it would not sound good to say it, so I let it go.At this time, the family has hired two or three people to take care of it every day, and Fang Sheng has become more and more free. Fortunately, he has been helping people get some herbs all these years. Sending Fang Sheng is here, and Fang Sheng has been able to make some money every year by relying on this for the past two years.So when I met Jiang Maolin today and heard that his natal family was in the business, I couldn't help thinking that if this was done, Brother Sheng would be able to take it seriously.To be honest, Du Zhongping and Fang Sheng are very good after being here for so many years, and now they still think about him in everything.

After hearing this passage, Du An laughed and said, "You put so much effort just for Brother Sheng?" He sighed again, "I'm the one who got you in trouble. If it wasn't for me, you might be an official now." Duan It’s not without reason that Anhui sighed like this. After Du Zhongping was elected, someone asked him to fill in the vacancy. Although he is an official with the size of a sesame seed, he actually has a lot of power. Besides, he is also an official, because of the scholars here less reason.Anyone would think that this is a great thing, but Du Zhongping pushed him away and came back to teach.Although it was unavoidable to be praised a few words such as "good character", Du An really felt that Du Zhongping was afraid that he would become an official, and he felt more and more sorry for Du Zhongping when he was found out about the relationship between the two.In addition, Du Zhongping told him in private that he didn't want to be admitted to the Jinshi again in the future. If he himself had been like this in his life, Du An felt guilty, and Du Zhongping took the opportunity to take a lot of advantage.Because of this, Du An is very concerned about Jin'er's scientific research, and often asks the caravan in the south to bring some high-quality pens, ink, paper and inkstones for the family. Otherwise, how would Jiang Maolin know about Jin'er?

Du Zhongping heard that Du An got into the horns again, and felt helpless. At the beginning, he just wanted to coax that idiot to take advantage of himself, but he didn't expect it to become his heart disease. No matter what happened, he always talked about it. People can't take it anymore.
