Red House Farm Stay

"I won't drink secretly again, grandma, dad, don't blame mother, it's because my son is greedy." Ban'er hurriedly comforted Liu.

"Why are you drinking it secretly? Drink it as soon as you drink it. I'm happy for my son to drink it." When Liu Shi heard that he had admitted his mistake, he became anxious again.

"Your son is happy to drink it, but whoever drinks it is not to your liking." Wang Gou'er glanced at her, and Liu immediately put down his chopsticks and went back to the house without eating.

"Father..." Ban'er looked at Wang Gou'er with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

"You guys eat first." Wang Gou'er also put down his chopsticks and chased after him.

"Let's eat." Grandma Liu looked at the three children and sighed again. Fortunately, the children in the family did not follow Liu.

"Grandma, in fact, you don't have to do this, I understand it in my heart. Auntie didn't mean that, she just..." It's just that I have a low EQ, and I can never hear that what I say is hurting others, and I always feel confident that she is just talking, and No bad intentions.

"It's better to let Ban'er's father talk to her, so that she won't be choked all day long, and everyone will be so angry that she will be wronged. This is my own birth, and I don't want to spoil her , let alone others."

It's hard to describe the feeling of a family of normal people with online emotional intelligence, who just inserts a stunned young man in the middle.

Qing'er also vaguely understands that her mother's speech is not very pleasant, but she is still young after all, so she doesn't particularly understand the twists and turns in the middle.Twist Jia Zhuo, "Otherwise, I'll tell my mother that I drank it."

Jia Zhuo covered his mouth and smiled, "Don't talk about it anymore, the problem is not who drank it at all." Could it be that Jia Zhuo said she drank it, and Liu can say whether to drink it?Maybe Jia Zhuo said she likes to drink it, and she will buy a can for her to drink.

It's just that the way she speaks casually is really annoying.Jia Zhuo could imagine that if a sensitive foreign girl was in her position, it would be possible for Liu to cry in anger.

"Oh." Qing'er interpreted Jia Zhuo's words directly, then it's nothing to worry about, anyway, it's not up to her to care about the family affairs, so she simply bowed her head and ate the porridge.

Not long after the Qiqiao Festival, it was time to harvest the new rice seeds planted by Jia Zhuo, and immediately planted new ones.The harvested rice was piled up in the warehouse. Wang Gou'er and Ban'er carefully calculated the accounts. If one mu of land was planted, the yield should be twice that of the rice they planted before. Plant two crops, that is four times.

After finishing the calculation, the father and son sat opposite each other in the warehouse.Wang Gou'er frowned deeply, "I'm afraid I can't grow this food."

"It's too eye-catching. If you collect this crop, you'll save it." Ban'er agreed.

Rice seeds and corn are two different things. Although corn can also be used as a staple food, people in Dayue Kingdom are not familiar with it after all.Except that Jinling City is the capital, everyone is more accepting of new things, and there is a family like the Ninth Young Master as a guarantor.If it is placed elsewhere, it is not certain whether anyone will dare to eat it, let alone grow it.

But everyone has seen rice seeds, and any farmer knows how to plant them.If the output can be quadrupled, the village chief and village chief will rush to report such monstrous things.They really want to plant all the rice seeds like this, and it is impossible to hide it.

"Prince Zhongshun is going to Jinling soon. We must not cause trouble these days. Why is this old thing still alive?" Wang Gou'er sighed.

"The third prince went to help the disaster, but he hasn't returned until now. The refugees have already started to come here. We should pay more attention to strangers these days." Ban'er often drives a mule cart to go shopping, and every time he collects A few copper coins were brought to the villagers.

The younger brother of the Leng family and Ban'er are common, and the relationship between the two is good, and it sounds like they talk to Ban'er about everything.How could the people in Liujia Village know about the refugees? It was all news from Uncle Leng's family.

"The Leng family is planning to go on the road after the autumn harvest, and go to reunite with Uncle Leng before the end of the year." Ban'er was going to discuss with his father how much ceremonies to send.

"It's too late to leave after the autumn harvest. At best, it will take more than two months. The road to the north is not short." Wang Gou felt unreliable when he heard it.

"Uncle Leng sent a letter and told them to go after the new year. The weather is warmer so they can go on their way. But Mrs. Leng is worried that he will spend the New Year outside alone, so she wants to go."

"I have to find the eldest son of the Leng family. His mother can't let his mother mess around with this matter. The winter in the north is so cold that the little grandson of the Leng family is only a little older. I don't even think about whether the child can bear it." Wang Gou Hearing this, Er slapped his thigh. Before going out, Uncle Leng specifically asked him to help out with his advice.Forget about other things, he has to take care of this matter.

The emperor's birthday was in November, which was right next to the Chinese New Year. Prince Zhongshun was a little closer, so he set off early in the morning and arrived at Jinling City before the autumn harvest.

However, King Suqing, who was guarding the border, changed leaders because of a tribe outside the pass. In order to stand up and offend the border, King Suqing led his troops to pursue and go deep into the grassland. No one could control the situation when the battle started, so he sent his son Luo Lingyuan Come to Jinling to celebrate birthday.

The north is far away, so I travel in summer, and when I arrive in Jinling, the autumn harvest is over.Because of the arrival of the two of them, Jinling City was very lively for a while.There are even more social entertainments in wealthy families.You know, the eldest son Luo Lingyuan's first wife passed away a year ago, and she hasn't been married yet.With such a sweet pastry, how can it not make people with daughters fall in love.

But these are very far away from ordinary people, and even farther away from the people in Liujia Village.The Wang family harvested Jia Zhuo's new rice seeds, and put them together with the previous ones for storage.

The other three mu of land had a normal rice harvest, but at the same time, news of refugees coming to Beijing came intermittently.Seeing is not believing, and soon, seeing is believing in Liujia Village.

The Liu family married a daughter-in-law for Liu's second child. Speaking of which, their family had already emptied their entire family to save their eldest son, and owed a whole lot of debt.Her reputation was in a mess again, and no one would marry even if she lowered her requirements.

After the autumn harvest, Liu Zizi doubled the seals for the matchmaker, and finally brought him a pair of siblings.There was a disaster in their hometown, and the whole family went on the road. When they reached Jinling, only their siblings were left.In the end, the relatives who wanted to go to her were gone, and when there was no way out, the elder sister was considered clever, and found a matchmaker herself, saying that she didn't want anything, as long as her husband's family was willing to raise her younger brother, she would marry.

The matchmaker went to ask Liu's family's intentions, and when Liu Xizi heard that the girl was not deaf, dumb, or disabled, he immediately made a marriage agreement.

Just a year after Liu Xiaoyao left, the second child of the Liu family married a new daughter-in-law and came in without a dowry or bride price. A pair of happy characters were pasted on the door, two sets of new clothes were planted, and the villagers were invited to a meal. Even if we become relatives.

Mr. Jiu took the second crop of corn from the Wang family this year. Of course, the price was even lower.The Wang family also told that the people in the Liu family village will more or less plant some corn next year.If there are more of these things, the price will naturally drop, and it might not be appropriate to sell them as high-end goods in shops.

Ninth Young Master also bowed his hands, saying that next year he would no longer be in the corn business, and after the Longevity Festival, he was planning to return to his hometown, and he probably would not come back next year.

When he said this, the ninth son looked at Jia Zhuo. Jia Zhuo met his gaze and smiled cleanly. His eyes were clear and there was nothing superfluous.

"Then I will wish you a smooth journey first, young master."

"You didn't order a gift?" Jiu Gongzi teased.

"Ninth Young Master takes care of the Wang family like this, so he will naturally go to see him off. I dare not say anything else, but I can always buy you some local rituals and special products."

After Jia Zhuo finished speaking crisply and refreshingly, he was already thinking about how to sell next year's corn.Other people's houses must be picked one by one to go to the market. Should she develop a few cuisines and sell them in big restaurants?

The Ninth Young Master smiled when he heard the words, "Well, I'll wait for you to see me off." Then he turned and left, his fists tightly clenched in his sleeves, and he slowly let go after a while.

The Wang family calculated their accounts by themselves. After two years of busy work, they saved 800 taels of silver because of the colorful sweet peppers and corn. Small 600 taels.

The 400 taels in the hands of Grandma Liu, Mrs. Liu and Jia Zhuo have never been touched.Wang Gou'er still has 200 taels in his hand, which is a huge sum of money.

"Ban'er will go to study next year. If he can take this path in the future, just go. We can afford it." Wang Gou'er was very happy, regardless of how well Baner studied, and never thought that he would be able to pass the exam. It would be great for those who raised people to come back as Jinshi to regain the glory of their ancestors and only seek to be a scholar.

"During the slack season, the dog went to the county town for a walk. We dare not think about it in Jinling City. If there is a suitable small shop in the county town, we can buy one and rent it out." The girls are 12 years old and the other is ten years old, but they will have to discuss marriage in three to five years. No matter how much they stay, they should get married one after another in five or six years.

Qing'er is the granddaughter of my family, and when a peasant girl gets married, she has 20 taels of silver in the bottom of the box, which is already a big deal.Jia Zhuo was different, besides, all the income of the family was brought by her, so she had to buy a dowry for her no matter what.A small shop, a small house, and find a city person to marry. With her intelligence, she can live a good life no matter what.

"Okay, I have to go to the city to look for it." Wang Gou'er agreed.

"I'm going too, let's go together." Qing'er yelled, wanting to go to the city to play.

"I won't go. I like to sleep in lately. Qing'er should go." During this time, Jia Zhuo, in order to avoid getting involved with anyone loyal to the prince, hardly went out, and only moved around Xiaodongshan.

"It's been a long time since you went to the city." Qing'er really wanted to say that she would stay with her, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of going to the city, and made a bunch of promises to bring Jia Zhuo back with this and that. He also went to the city with Wang Gou'er.

Ban'er stayed quietly, saying that he was worried that there were only grandma and Xiao Zhuo at home.Thinking of Mrs. Leng's words, Mrs. Liu became a little worried. Maybe her stupid son, she really thought she could climb a high branch.

On the way, he secretly sat next to Wang Gou'er who was driving the car, and talked to him by rubbing his ears and eyes.

"Don't worry about the children's affairs. If Ban'er is really blessed, you are still not happy. This study must not be delayed any longer. You have to be a scholar to look good." Wang Gou'er was full of joy, Liu Shi couldn't believe it. Could it be that she was the only one who didn't think it was a good thing?

"I want to control it, but I can control it. You and your mother treat me like someone all day long, and you will criticize me if you make a mistake. You really offend me, baby. You have to divorce me." Mrs. Liu snorted. , I ignored him and sat in the back to accompany my daughter.

Ban'er was not as courteous as Liu thought at home, and he was studying in the room as usual.Jia Zhuo took a travel book and went up the mountain. She likes to read books, enjoy the wind and watch the scenery on the trails in the mountains and forests.

It never occurred to me that the life style of literary and artistic youths fantasized in another time and space would come true in this way in another time and space.Just short of a cup of coffee and a brown scarf, Jia Zhuo was obviously laughing at himself, but he didn't want to laugh at all, and raised his head to hold back the tears in his eyes.

Another time and space that can never go back, where it is so easy to forget.She is not as strong as she appears to be. More often than not, she just forces herself not to think about it in order to survive.

"Hey, brother-in-law, look, it's her." A girl in a red skirt stood on the top of the hill and pointed at Jia Zhuo.

Luo Lingyuan squinted his eyes and saw a very young girl looking up at the sky.Full white forehead, upturned nose, and pointed chin.The golden sun shines on her face, and although she is a little far away, she can still see the beautiful outline of her side face.

Wait, what flashed, it seemed to be the crystal tears in the corners of her eyes.Luo Lingyuan smiled at the little boy, if he hadn't come here on a whim.I thought, this is another beauty arranged for him by someone else.

These days, Huanfeiyanshou, passionate, noble and elegant, admired his talents over and over again, and as for throwing himself into his arms, meeting them in the backyard is as easy as picking Chinese cabbage.

"She's the one who gave the red fruits? She looks really young." Luo Lingyuan nodded casually.

"Hey, didn't you tell me to ask Mr. Jiu last time? I thought about it later. When Mr. Jiu didn't come to Jinling, you gave me red fruit. How could it be Mr. Jiu asked you to give it to me?" The girl in the red skirt asked. It was Miss Jun. She liked red dresses the most, and during the Chinese New Year, she dressed up extremely beautifully.But she has gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, and not only does she not look vulgar in wearing red, but she looks extraordinarily bright and moving.

Only then did Jia Zhuo see that there were still two people standing above them, needless to say the red dresses, this was the second time they had seen each other.The man next to him didn't know who he was, he was tall, with broad shoulders, and his back was as straight as a javelin.Even though he was wearing homely clothes, he was as majestic as if he was wearing armor, as if he was about to step on the saddle and go into battle to kill the enemy the next moment.

"I didn't say that the red fruit was given by the ninth son. I said that I was helping others to pass on the message, but the message was wrong. If they can show up by themselves, why bother to find a peasant girl. As for why, the entanglement between your rich and aristocratic families Entanglement, how could I know."

Jia Zhuo saluted the two of them and sighed softly. She really didn't want to see Miss Jun again.The more things like this are said, the more mistakes are made.The best option is not to speak.

"A peasant girl outside Jinling City is also so eloquent. The scenery and customs in the capital are indeed different from other places." The man opened his mouth and looked down at Jia Zhuo.

"Since someone asked you to give it to you, is it male or female, tall, short, fat, or thin, where did you come from, what car did you take, who did you bring, how did you contact me, and how many benefits did you receive? How did you make a mistake, and how did you know you made a mistake."

Jia Zhuo's mind went blank after the long string.On the surface, he calmly said: "Why, did I commit some serious crime? If there is a trial, it is better to sue the officials first."

Clutching the book in both hands, the palms were so tense that they were sweating. If they really wanted to sue the officials, it would not be a big deal for them to help a pair of rich and powerful oppress a commoner.

"It's no wonder I found you to pass on the message. You can still face my urgent questions without changing your face, calm and composed. It's really suitable. I heard that the corn that has become popular recently is also grown by you?" When Luo Lingyuan asked this, Miss Jun couldn't help it. She was taken aback, she didn't even know about this.As for corn, of course she knew and liked to eat it, but she never thought that it had something to do with her.

"Jiu Gongzi pays the money, not to mention the corn, it is enough to plant ginseng for him." Jia Zhuo pushed the corn directly on Jiu Gongzi.

"Since you know how to farm, can you tell me, does this corn choose the soil and climate?"

"It can also be planted in the north." Jia Zhuo looked at him quietly, saw him startled for a moment, and then smiled.

"Very good, since Hongguo has nothing to do with you, Xiaoyao, don't pester her anymore." Luo Lingyuan took a deep look at her, turned around and went down the mountain to the other side.Jun Xiaoyao stomped her feet, but she didn't dare not listen to her brother-in-law, so she could only give Jia Zhuo a hard look, and trot along the way to follow.

Not long after Jia Zhuo came down the mountain, someone approached her and asked her to buy some corn seeds and how to plant them.

"It's all here. As for the amount of silver, the military master will see to reward." Jia Zhuo asked him to wait a while, wrote down the main points of planting, and asked Ban'er to bring out two bags of seeds for them.

The man froze for a moment when he heard the address of Jun Ye, took out a purse and gave it all to Jia Zhuo.

Jia Zhuo thought to himself, he is not as generous as the ninth son.After seeing off the people, he went back to the house and poured out to have a look. He and Ban'er were dumbfounded.It turned out to be a bag of golden scorpions carved into peanuts and Ruyi.

With a purse full, Baner weighed it, "At least there is seven or eight taels." Seven or eight taels of gold is equal to seven or eighty taels of silver.

Jia Zhuo, who just said that he was stingy, bared his teeth, and took back what he said in his heart about being stingy.

"Is it really Luo Lingyuan?" Ban'er thought it was amazing, how could he come here.

"It looks like he was dragged here by Jun Xiaoyao, probably because he wanted to bring him to trouble Mr. Ninth. I guess Mr. Ninth was not around, so he went up the mountain to play for a while. Unexpectedly, he caught me." Jia Zhuo I also regret it, why did I choose Jun's family in the first place, if I chose Niu's family, there should be no such things behind.

"The first wife of the son who passed away is the cousin of the young lady of the Jun family. It seems that the Jun family doesn't want to let go of the position of the concubine." Ban'er smiled, and the sister-in-law took her brother-in-law to run all over the mountain without the consent of the adults in the family. It cannot be done.

"Whatever they do, we've made another fortune anyway, so let's keep a few for each of us. It's so beautiful, it would be a pity if it melts." Picking out three pairs of peanuts and three pairs of plum-blossom ruyi zizi, they prepared to fight with Ban'er. And Qing'er keeps a pair to play with.

"Did you give it to me?" Ban'er held a pair of round peanuts and a pair of plum blossoms in his palm, and squinted his eyes with a smile.

"Of course." Jia Zhuo lowered his head and fastened his purse, never seeing Ban'er laughing like this.

"Let grandma put away the rest." Jia Zhuo held the purse and hopped up and down to find grandma Liu.

"Put it away by yourself. Our little Zhuo is now a big girl, and we should have our own things. You can keep these and you will need them later." Grandma Liu put a lock on the cabinet in her room and let Jia Zhuo keep it by herself. Manage your own stuff.

"But I still have a silver note of 100 taels in my hand." This was allocated by Wang Gou'er before, and I was worried that it would be lost on one person.But until now, it has not been taken back.

"That's what our little Zhuo kept for himself." Grandma Liu couldn't help sighing when she saw that she didn't even tie a velvet flower in her hair. It's a girl's nature to love beauty and flowers. Now it's more distressing.

When Wang Gou'er came back, although Qing'er was happy, he was not as excited as before. After asking, he found out that a porridge shed had been set up outside to serve porridge.There are more and more refugees from other places, and they are all resettled outside the city, guarded by officers and soldiers, and several porridge sheds take turns cooking porridge, but they can't see a few rice flowers clearly, just hang a little breath.

After receiving the golden scorpion, Qing'er immediately forgot about the tragedy she saw during the day, and held it in her hands like a baby, wishing she could hold it at night when she went to bed.

Give the rest to Wang Gou'er, and he doesn't want it either. The rhetoric is similar to that of Grandma Liu, let her keep it by herself.

Liu curled her lips. She thought that if a child received such money, she would lose it or be cheated.But when he thought of what the child's father said, he choked on his own words.Forget it, don't say it, and suspect that she wants to be greedy for money.

"This year's Shengshou Festival, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Ban'er thought of the refugees outside. Although there were not many of them, it was only the beginning of autumn at the moment, and there would be more and more refugees in the future.The emperor is celebrating his birthday again this year, and on his fiftieth birthday, refugees will besiege the city, so I'm afraid he's going to be very angry right now.

They called the princes and sons of both sides to come all the way, just to prepare for a good celebration, and to show that the country is safe and peaceful.As a result, there was such a commotion, if the emperor celebrated his birthday extravagantly, wouldn't he become a foolish emperor.
