Married a scholar

▍ Drive away.

In July, when the weather is very hot, even if there has been a heavy rainstorm, the weather is still so hot that people sweat even if they move a step.

There is still some draughts in the huge hall, which is quite cool.

Meng Yining had guessed the purpose of these wives and confirmed it, so he naturally had some concerns in his heart.

People can't just drive away like this, but he is not willing to keep them, seeing the calculations in those faces and eyes.

"Look at what you are saying, auntie. We are all relatives. Under natural disasters, you have nowhere to go to join me. Naturally, you can stay as long as you like." Meng Yining didn't wait for her to answer. Greeting Yi Geer on the side, said: "Yi Brother, let someone go and clean up the old house next door. Take some quilts and food, so that my grandma and the others can live comfortably." After speaking, he looked back at his expression The few people who were stunned said, "Auntie, you can go live next door. I have sent people to clean up the place. I think you are very tired after coming all the way. Why don't you go to rest earlier, and I will send people to do more at night." Come here to invite you to dinner with some delicious food, just treat me as a younger generation and clean up the dust for you."

Qiu Qian asked dissatisfied: "Don't we live here?"

Meng Yining pretended to be surprised, and then apologized, "I'm sorry, grandpa and grandma, you were supposed to live here when you came here, but there are too many people buying at home, and you are rushing to pack the grain in the field. There are no vacant houses around, and the old house is still vacant, but don’t worry, there are always people cleaning it, and it’s very clean.”

Uncle Qiu's face was ugly, even the grandparents of the Qiu family who hadn't spoken much had a bad complexion, and Uncle Qiu's expression became even more sour, "Brother Ning, grandpa and grandma came to defect to you, that's how you treat them both. old?"

Meng Yining said helplessly: "Uncle, what did you say? There is really no room for the new house here. The old house over there can still accommodate people, and I will send food to you."

"We don't want to live in a broken house, we want to live in a new house." Qiu Yi yelled at Meng Yining: "You let those servants live in an old house."

Qiu Qian also looked at Meng Yining, "Cousin, how can there be no place for us to live in such a big new house? There is no yard in front, but you always have a yard, so you can't let the slaves live with you. "

Meng Yining said: "The college exam is coming, Brother Aze needs a quiet environment to read."

"What do you mean by Brother Ning?" Second Uncle Qiu frowned, "Are you afraid that we will disturb Wen Ze to read?"

Meng Yining didn't speak.

Aunt Qiu looked at Meng Yining, "Brother Ning, you are wrong. We know that Wen Ze is going to take the exam, so we won't disturb him from reading. Grandpa and grandma are so old, and they have never had a good life." Days, seeing you so promising now, I am very happy, and I think I can see you more nearby, and enjoy the blessings for a few days. You should be more considerate of grandpa and grandma."

Meng Yining frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but Xia Wenze didn't say anything, and Xia Wenze waved to Guanshi He who was guarding the door, "Have someone come in and drive them out."

"Yes." Guanshi waved a few servants who were waiting in the yard to come in, "Drive them out."

"what do you mean?"

"You actually want to drive us away?"

"Meng Yining, don't hurry up and talk."

Aunt Qiu and the others were startled and furious, and they all looked at Meng Yining with ugly and angry expressions.

Meng Yining looked at Xia Wenze in surprise, wondering why he was going to drive him out.To be honest, he really wanted to drive him out, but he thought about Xia Wenze's future, so he sent him back to the old house in a roundabout way.

Xia Wenze held his hand, looked at the few people with a calm expression, "I don't remember Ning'er having any grandparents, otherwise why didn't you come over to make decisions for him when he was forced to retire? He was bullied by the Meng family. Why didn’t I see you say a word for him when I was married to him? I didn’t see you come over when I married him. Now I remember him. The two old people have never had a good life in their lives. Shouldn’t it be you who are sons and daughters-in-law Don’t say that you don’t know, Shangyao Village is not far from Dong’ao Village, and I sent a message to you for the wedding ceremony of my marriage with Ning’er. There are no congratulatory gifts."

Meng Yining looked at Xia Wenze with wide eyes, it was really rare to hear him say such a long sentence.

To be honest, when he knew that his grandparents came to him through natural disasters, he also thought about driving them away. According to his temper, he didn't have any good feelings for this kind of grandparents who had no family affection at all. of.

But Xia Wenze wants to be a scholar, so he can't have the name of being unfilial, otherwise he will be criticized.

It's just that he didn't expect that Xia Wenze, who had been silent all this time, would come out like this directly in the end.

Seeing a few people quiet down instantly, Xia Wenze asked Steward He to drive them out.

"Wait a minute." Seeing them looking at him in surprise, Meng Yining reached out and took out ten taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to Aunt Qiu who was beside him, "Although the money is not much, I think it's worth paying New Year's greetings after all these years." At that time, you didn't pay any attention to our brother's love. Since you don't pay attention to our brothers, then let's keep doing this, just keep it as before."

We pay New Year greetings every year, and at other times we just ignore each other.

"You are doing very well." Grandpa Qiu looked at Meng Yining with wide eyes.

When Aunt Qiu saw this, she knew she couldn't stay, so she scolded: "It's your mother who didn't bring you two bastards with me, white-eyed wolf."

Meng Yining didn't bother to reply, so Guanshi immediately kicked everyone out.

"Is that okay?" Meng Yining looked at Xia Wenze, feeling relieved, but worried about Xia Wenze's side.

"No problem." Xia Wenze waved a cattail fan for him, "The village head and the clan will endorse me, and what I just said is also true. If someone mentions it, you can ask someone to come to our village to see if there is any How many people remember that you still have a niece."

He knew Brother Ning's temper. For him, he wished that such relatives would not have any contact with them in the future.

But for him, she endured her own temper.He didn't want to see him like this.

Although people in the world value filial piety, if such a relative is known, at most they will be said to be a little ruthless, no matter how many there are, there will be no more.

"Okay." Meng Yining leaned on the back of the chair, "I don't know why they have such a shame to come and join me." The original owner really has no kinship with this foreign family.Every year's New Year's call is just to follow the filial piety of a junior.

Every year passed, except for some cheap snacks brought by the original owner's mother, the two brothers never ate any snacks at his grandparents' house.

Every time he went to pay New Year's greetings, there was only one plate of meat dishes on the table, and most of them went into the mouths of his eldest and younger cousins.

Being bullied by the big cousin and the others, even if the grandparents saw it, they didn't say a word.

Even secretly comforting the two brothers of the original owner.

Xia Wenze pulled his hair back from his ears, "It's just a natural disaster to beat the autumn wind." Presumably those people also know that if they come here without a special reason, there will be no good results.So I took advantage of this natural disaster to come and defect.

Brother Ning was willing to tolerate for him, but he didn't want to see him like this.

Meng Yining nodded, "Okay, anyway, people drove away anyway, I gave back the money, even if someone finds out, they can't say anything." Ten taels of silver is not much, but if you save it, at least it will be enough for them Flowers for two months.

Besides, he didn't believe that they didn't have any money on them, and he didn't believe that the house of his grandparents' house was really smashed and nothing was left.It's not that the original owner didn't go to pay New Year's greetings this year. The house is an old house, but the tiles and the like are all newly replaced.

In the past, the two went on to study something that could replace the mulch.

A thin layer of tree wax is applied on the burlap. Although it is not as soft as the mulch, it can indeed replace the mulch.

Meng Yining stretched out his hand and touched it, "This tree wax is really a good thing."

Tree wax is a unique thing in the Northern Jin Dynasty. It grows from the catalpa tree, but it does not blossom and bear fruit, but exists like the leaves of the catalpa tree.

It is different from the paraffin wax used to make candles in the present world.

"Yeah." Xia Wenze had never seen mulch, but since Brother Ning said that this could replace some other mulch, it was good.

"The cloth is ready, and the next step is breeding." Meng Yining took Xia Wenze to the warehouse in the back row, where all the dried grains that could be put into the warehouse were placed there.

The recovered grains that hadn't dried much were placed in empty houses in other courtyards.

The new house has no room for the Qiu family's grandfather to live in. He is not prevaricating, but a fact.

The empty houses in several courtyards, except those for people to live in, are basically used to store the grain that has not been dried in time.

He knew too well the virtues of his cousins, so naturally he wouldn't let them live in the same yard as them.

Therefore, there is really no place for them to live in the new house.

Meng Yining asked Brother Yi who followed, "Is this the first batch of rice harvested?"

The rice in their family is planted in two batches. The first batch is the rice in his one-acre field. The seeds are asked for by the village chief, but he added nutrient solution when soaking the seeds, which stimulated a little wood. The energy of the crystal nucleus is inside.

The second batch of seeds was the hybrid rice seeds he exchanged with Meng Chongjue. That batch of rice could only be traded, and could not be kept.

"That's right, Master Ning." Brother Yi grabbed a handful of rice and came out, "Look, Master Ning, the seeds of this batch of rice are fuller than the seeds of the second batch. a little longer."

Meng Yining grabbed it out and took a look. Brother Xing had already cleverly fetched the second batch of rice seeds to show him.

The two batches of seeds were put together and compared carefully. As Yi Geer said, the first batch of rice was fuller and longer than the second batch.

Meng Yining looked at several boxes of rice, and asked Brother Yi, "How many stones did you harvest for the first batch of rice?"

"About 10 shi." Brother Yi remembered clearly, he was still excited at the time.

10 stones.

One stone in the Northern Jin Dynasty was about 120 catties, and 10 stones was nearly 1200 catties.

This has caught up with the modern rice yield per mu.

Of course, if he didn't add nutrient solution and wood-type crystal nucleus energy, there probably wouldn't be so much.
