Red House Farm Stay

"How are the remaining sticks?" Jia Zhuo pressed down one by one, feeling a little relieved.

"Fortunately, there is no problem with the ones that are produced." Ban'er, like her, went to check the produced sticks. It seemed that the production was reduced, not the whole army was wiped out.

Why this happened? Jia Zhuo is not an agricultural expert, and she can't tell why.But there is a little bit of my own idea in my heart. These seeds come from another time and space, and are the result of another time and space agricultural technology breakthrough.

Then take it to this time and space through the wonderful channel of space. Although the seeds have been blessed, they can develop normally and remain seeds.But they will also slowly degenerate, fading away the technological breakthroughs belonging to another time and space, leaving only their original appearance.

The taste of corn changes from crop to crop. Although people who have never eaten it don't feel much, Jia Zhuo knows it very well.Now the output has also begun to decrease, that is, they have begun to restore their true appearance.

Seeing that Jia Zhuo didn't speak, Wang Gou'er felt sorry for the empty pole, but still persuaded her, "It's okay, why don't we just tie up less knots? Probably the soil is different from the original place, and no one is not acclimatized to it. "

Jia Zhuo let out a "puchi" laugh. She didn't know that Wang Gou'er had such a humorous side.

"Even if the production is reduced, it will still be a lot." Ban'er felt in his heart that the current production is only reasonable, and the previous production was too exaggerated. If all the land was planted with corn, he would not dare to look like it.

"Yes, there are quite a few." Wang Gou'er arranged for manpower to pull out the empty poles that were not knotted, so as not to take up fertilizer and water.

Before they rested, people from Liujia Village arrived in droves. They also saw half of the empty poles, and they were in a hurry, so they came to Wang Gou'er to find a solution.

Wang Gou'er spread his hands, "Is there any way to think about it, if you can't grow it, just pull it out."

Seeing the Wang family's land was the same, the peasants in Liujia village became less suspicious of the Wang family's tampering.But I was really unwilling to reconcile. The output produced last time was twice as bad as this time.It means that the money will be reduced by half, who would like it.

"Will it be the same next time?" The hearts of the people in Liujia Village were bleeding. Could it be that the golden doll they had finally dug up just flew away like this.

"We don't know. The seeds they gave are like this. They also said that they might not be acclimatized." Jia Zhuo said, anyway, the ninth son is not here, so just throw the pot to him. Don't you feel tired and panic when you carry it yourself?

Seeing that Mr. Jiu was involved, the villagers didn't dare to speak anymore. When the villagers dispersed, Jia Zhuo went into the house to cook.On the other side of Xiaodong Mountain, the people from Jiu Gongzi's side also came to the door when they saw the movement here.

The corn in the magistrate's wife's field also had the same problem. Jia Zhuo had to spread his hands, "Everyone is the same. After all, no one has planted it before, and anything is possible."

"Is there no remedy?" The visitor was very eager.

Jia Zhuo shook his head, "The old farmers who have accumulated many years can't see the problem, so there is probably no way."

The visitor left disappointed, but Jia Zhuo felt in his heart that this is fine, too much against the sky may not be a good thing.

The three of them came over and stayed for a few days. After dealing with the corn, they took a mule cart back to the county.After leaving Liujia Village, I heard thunderous kicking from behind.Soon a small group of soldiers came and told everyone on the road to stand aside.

"Probably the second prince who took back the rebellion has returned." Ban'er drove the mule cart to the side of the road to get out of the way.

"Has the rebellion subsided?" Jia Zhuo asked.

"Probably." Ban'er narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, then pushed Jia Zhuo into the mule cart, telling her to sit in and not show his face.

A large group of people walked over, the armor was shining brightly, and the second prince in full armor held his head high, with a proud expression on his face.

With such a face, there is no need to ask any more questions, the imperial court's praise for the second prince soon came down, he was named King Zhongyong, and he will not divide the fief temporarily, and stay in Jinling.

For the common people, this is a great thing, not to mention anything else, without the war, they can always pay less taxes.

Ban'er's school life has never been in a happy mood, and the annoying guys have all been expelled from school.There are also a few little dandies who only follow their lead, and they dare not cause trouble anymore, so they tighten their tails and behave as human beings.

The rest are ordinary people or children from poor families, and no one will take Shuxiu's ten taels of silver a year for nothing.

Mrs. Liu also learned the skills of Grandma Liu, making pickles at home and selling them.But if Jia Zhuo and Qing'er were not brought along, the effect would be much worse, and only half of the jars brought out could be sold.Even if Mrs. Liu took a bowl and asked someone to try it, it wouldn't work.

After trying several times to sum up the experience, Jia Zhuo and Qing'er are young, and they are girls' home, so it is more unsuspecting to ask someone to try it.Coupled with the little girl's hard-working sales, as long as the things are not bad, people will be embarrassed not to buy a pot to take with them.

It seems that the Wang family has a family fortune, but moving to the county town, the expenses are much higher than before.The first is the cost of Baner's study. In addition to Shu Xiu, he also needs to buy consumables such as books and pens and inks. He also needs to be given some pocket money on a monthly basis. In the school, there are occasional entertainments that need money.

The clothes for going in and out should also be made new. What used to be worn in Liujia Village is not suitable for the county.Needless to say, things are more expensive, this is what Liu almost complains about every day.

What's more, Baner's study is not a year or two, but a matter of many years.And marrying a daughter-in-law and daughter are all expenses.

Every time Mrs. Liu counts, she feels chills in her heart. Wang Gou'er is only just beginning to be a middleman, and he often doesn't get much money in a month.

With such a calculation, Mrs. Liu began to take pickles as a serious business.

Often it was Wang Gou'er who drove the mule cart, Liu Shi installed the altar, and Jia Zhuo and Qing'er went to the wharf to ask people to taste the food to attract guests.

Jia Zhuo took the plate, and Qing'er aimed at a merchant ship, and asked those who disembarked to try it on the shore.

Among the few people who got off the boat, there was a tall man who walked calmly to the shore, but didn't go up. Obviously he just came down to let the wind go. When the boat sailed in a while, he would follow on board and continue to reach the destination.

Although Jia Zhuo only saw his side face, for some reason, a feeling of familiarity and wanting to get close spontaneously emerged.This man is not young anymore, and he is not wearing expensive clothes, but there is a natural air of aristocratic children in his gestures and gestures.

"Grandma's food, try it for free, uncle, do you want to try it?" Qing'er walked up to this person at this moment.

"Thank you." The man waved his hand and smiled slightly.

This prevented Jia Zhuo from coming forward, and originally planned to take a taste of it to see his face.Since she rejected Qing'er, there was no need for her to go up again.

What's more, other people have already come to her to try the food, so Jia Zhuo looked away, greeted the guests warmly, and pointed them to the mule cart above.

The man turned his head at this moment, and Jia Zhuo was submerged among a group of adults. He only saw the backs of these testers, smiled slightly, and boarded the boat.

The boat opened, and the man didn't rush in, but stood at the bow.Jia Zhuo finished handling a group of tasting guests, held an empty bowl, and greeted Qing'er, "I'll go get some more, where are you?"

"I'll go too." Qing'er lit up the empty bowl, and the two girls looked at each other and smiled. This scene made many people standing on the boat smile.

The man standing at the bow also saw it. He first smiled, then his eyes gradually widened, looking at Jia Zhuo's side face without blinking.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Jia Zhuo and another girl leaving hand in hand, leaving him with only a back view.

The man was so upset that he couldn't believe there was such a coincidence in the world.He comforted himself, it was just a profile, maybe seeing the front face is different.

But, after all, he didn't see the face.He shouldn't have been on the boat just now, and should have looked at it anyway.

Jia Zhuo couldn't feel his regret. The two jars of pickled vegetables that Mrs. Liu brought out sold more than half of each. The business was not as good as before, but it was still much better than the two adults coming alone.

"The booth fee has also increased." Wang Gou'er shook his head. At first, he just checked it out a few times. Now people see that their business is good, so they have raised the price.

"The profits will be much lower if we move from left to right." Jia Zhuo lamented.

There are fewer sales, and the booth fee is high. It almost takes the whole family a day to go there.

"It's always a good idea to come back every few days." After discussing, Liu said.

This is true, you can always subsidize your family.

Within a few days, Wang Gou'er received a job to help people buy a shop in Wannian County, and then buy a small village with a dozen or twenty acres outside.

"This is a good job. It is urgent to buy a dowry for my daughter. The price is also good. I won't accompany you to the dock these days." Wang Gou'er explained to Liu Shi.

"That's serious business, I'll do your work first." Mrs. Liu had no objection.

"Do you know who bought the dowry?" Wang Gou'er rarely gossiped.

"Why do you ask that, who is it?" Mrs. Liu was surprised, they didn't know any rich people.

"Do you remember that the boss of the Liu family was his former employer?"

"what……"

Not to mention the Liu family, including Jia Zhuo, Qing'er, and even Grandma Liu exclaimed.I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

But it was such a coincidence that the owner of the Jinling family, who was doing business in Jinling, originally wanted to marry the youngest daughter to the boss of the Liu family, but ended up making such a big fuss.When the situation subsided, the youngest daughter was given to a wealthy family in Wannian County.

"They are good people, you give them home dim sum." Liu expressed his thoughts very simply.

"Of course." If he didn't think this family was nice, and it happened to be a coincidence, he wouldn't mention it to his family.

Only Jia Zhuo thought that this family seemed to be Wan Qing's former boss.

Unexpectedly, this single job also brought Qing'er a job.The cause of the incident was also a coincidence. Boss Liu's former employer was named Bai, and the wealthy family girl married to was named Zhao.The Zhao family had a good relationship with the county magistrate Qin Luming, and the county magistrate's wife still remembered the Bai family in Wanqing's case. Out of curiosity, she invited the mother and daughter of the Bai family to a spring feast.

The girl from the Bai family saw the door curtain hung by the county magistrate's wife, and after inquiring, she realized that it was embroidered by the daughter of the Wang family.The man from the Wang family is the middle man who runs errands for their family.So she asked someone to ask Yang Qing'er to help her embroider an elegant curtain and door curtain.

Because it's not embroidery for weddings, and there is no time limit, the girl of the Bai family just likes such a refreshing and soft pattern. After she gets married, she can use it in summer.

The person who entrusted them sent a red envelope of 20 taels at that time.This is just wages, all embroidery thread and materials are calculated separately.

Of course Qing'er agreed, she learned this craft in order to earn more income for her family, but she never got what she wanted.Now it is considered a wish, how could he not agree.

Liu was even happier. She taught her daughter embroidery in the hope that she could make more money.Qing'er's current craftsmanship is not very good, but she really likes it and is willing to devote more energy to bold supporting roles and finding patterns. A piece of spirituality.

"Sister, help me choose the picture." Qing'er always believed in her vision.

"Okay, let's go to the calligraphy and painting shop to look for it. If there is a suitable one, we can ask Baner to copy it for us." Jia Zhuo smiled lightly. Fortunately, education in this era is not only about reading, it is like drawing and playing chess. Also dabble a little bit.

Ban'er may not have any talent in painting, but he is more serious. It is not difficult to copy other people's paintings to make an embroidery look, but it is impossible for him to reproduce the aura in other people's brushes.

There are 20 taels of silver to earn, and in the eyes of the two girls' families, this is considered a big deal.Huanhuanxi went to find the right pattern and pick the right embroidery thread and got busy.

What they didn't know was that just a few days later, someone came to the wharf in Wannian County to inquire about a family selling road vegetables here.

"You mean grandma Lucai, they don't come here often, and I don't know whose family it is."

"Their family seems to be surnamed Wang. I really don't know anything else."

Jia Lian inquired around, but found no more useful information.Wannian County is not that big, but it is not so easy to find someone.

He had just returned from a business trip outside, and rushed over to find someone after delivering the goods yesterday, even when Ping'er asked him, he didn't tell the truth.

No one was found, and Jia Lian quickly left Wannian County.

Soon it was the corn harvest season, and Wang Gou'er took Mrs. Liu to live in Xiaodongshan for half a month.It just so happened that the Zhao family sent another happy post, and Wang Gou'er was not around, so it was naturally handed over to Ban'er.

"It seems to be the meaning of the girls of the Bai family. I want to meet you." Ban'er took a post and said to the two girls.

"Want to see us?" Jia Zhuolue understood after thinking about it. The Bai family girl's natal family is in Jinling, and she doesn't know many people in Wannian County. She always needs a few people to walk around, even if it is to understand the situation outside.

"Okay, her door curtain is embroidered, and the curtain is still a while away. I want to reply to her too." Qing'er really wanted to see how rich people's marriages are handled.

"Then I'll take a leave of absence, and I'll take you there then." Ban'er pursed his lips and told the two girls, "I'll take the happy money. Since you are meeting the bride, you also need to prepare some gifts." good."

Qing'er giggled, "I've prepared it a long time ago, a double-happiness net and a hundred sons and grandchildren's handkerchief. It was originally intended to be a gift to her, but now I can give it in advance."

Taking these two things as gifts is just right for the little girl's family.

The Zhao family is a well-to-do family in Wannian County, and their family style is very good. The youngest son married Bai Xi, and the marriage was very lively.The two girls were sitting in the Zhao family's new house, huddled together with everyone to see the bride, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and the mother-in-law who directed her around, took a bowl of half-cooked glutinous rice balls to ask the bride if she was born. born.

"Birth..." The bride's pretty face flushed and popped out a new word, which drew good-natured laughter from the whole room.

The people who saw the bride sent them away, pulling again and again, until Jia Zhuo and Qing'er finally squeezed to the front.

"It's really good craftsmanship, no wonder Mrs. Qin has to look at it with admiration." Bai Xi took their gift and stroked it repeatedly, obviously she liked it very much.

"It's Mrs. Qin's love. I, I embroidered indiscriminately. It's really not good." Qing'er blushed slightly, and waved her hands repeatedly.

"A good embroiderer is a good embroiderer. Why deny it? I still want to embroider indiscriminately, but it's a pity that I prick my hand as soon as I take the needle." Bai Xi is four or five years older than Jia Zhuo and Qing'er, but he can talk Come on, it sounds like a little girl who doesn't care about world affairs.

"Everyone has their own talents. I still learned it with Qing'er, but I just can't learn it. It shows that some things can't be forced." Jia Zhuo stepped forward to help Qing'er.

"What you said makes sense, just let my mother listen to it." Bai Xi pursed her lips and laughed.

Bai Xi chatted with them a few words, invited them to play at home in a few days, and told her about the interesting things in Wannian County, and a little girl came to invite them to a banquet in front.

Jia Zhuo and Qing'er went to the front hand in hand, they sat next to the female guest, and went to Ban'er to go home together after dinner.

The male guest wanted to drink, so he ate slowly. When Baner saw his sisters coming, he got up and said goodbye.

What they didn't know was that on the male guest's side, there was a man holding a wine glass in his hand, his smile froze on his face, and he couldn't believe it.

When the man put down his wine glass and chased him out, there was no sign of the three of Baner.But, this time, he wasn't so confused.Being able to attend the Zhao family's wedding banquet is much more reliable than inquiring about it at the pier.

In fact, after Jia Lian attended the Zhao family's wedding banquet, he had already obtained the name and address of the Wang family.He was taken aback when he heard Wang Gou'er's name, and then he was ecstatic.

Grandma Liu's son-in-law is also the same family as the Wang family, how could he not remember.If this girl appeared in someone else's house, he might still have doubts, but if she appeared in Wang's house, he no longer had any doubts.

Holding the address, he didn't want to wait for a moment.

When Qing'er returned home, she was still discussing with Jia Zhuo, her voice full of admiration.

"It turns out that this is how rich and noble families organize weddings. They invited so many guests, and their family..."

"Someone knocked on the door, who could it be? I'll go and see." Jia Zhuo went to open the door.

The two of them met each other, Jia Lian looked excited and stretched out his hand, "Sister Qiao, you are Sister Qiao..."

Although Jia Zhuo had never seen him before, for some reason, he instinctively recognized his identity just at a glance.She yanked him forward and quickly closed the door.

Jia Lian was dragged in by her in a turbulent mood, and what she saw was the cold expression on her daughter's face.

"Screaming so loudly, do you want to call Wang Ren to sell me again?" Jia Zhuo's voice was steady. She was 13 years old, taller than girls of the same age.Standing opposite him at this time, he already looks like an adult.

She is Qiaojie, she is Qiaojie, and Jia Lian no longer needs anyone to tell her, her face, her expression, every strand of her hair tells him that she is Qiaojie.

Wait, Wang Ren...

Jia Lian's face darkened, and he stretched out his hand to hold Qiaojie's hand, "I'm sorry for you, I won't..."

"What don't you know? You won't hand me over to Wang Ren again, or can you bear it when Prince Zhongshun comes to ask for someone?" Jia Zhuo's hand was held by him, she didn't reject it, but her mouth The words hit him mercilessly.

"I..." Jia Lian was sweating instantly, he was careless.

Sounding the drum does not require heavy hammers, all are smart people, things that I didn't think of in the moment of excitement, now rush to my mind like a tide.

Wang Ren sold Qiaojie while he was away, and then Qiaojie died. There is no such person in the world.But once Qiaojie returns alive, what will happen to Wang Ren's business? If it is someone else, Jia Lian is still sure, since he, the father, has not given permission, who can sell his daughter.

But when the buyer is Prince Zhongshun, this reasoning does not make sense. A broken Jia family, a prince who is in the limelight, knows how to judge without asking.

Therefore, his Qiaojie will never come back.

Jia Lian let go of her hand and looked at her bitterly, but didn't know what to say.Should I ask why my daughter didn't come to him after she escaped danger?Or should I ask how my daughter escaped?

But looking at his daughter's indifferent face, he couldn't ask a word.

"Second Master..." Ban'er and Qing'er had been standing behind Jia Zhuo, including Grandma Liu who heard the voice.

Seeing Grandma Liu who was talking, Jia Lian said with difficulty: "Where is there any second master?"

Saying that, he bowed to Grandma Liu to the ground, then straightened up and took a deep look at his daughter, and left without looking back.
