Married a scholar

▍The only eyes are each other.

There are not many people around Meng Yining's pigweed fight, but there are quite a lot of people at a corner not far away, and the voices can be heard from several meters away. Of course, there is a reason why his five senses are strengthened as his abilities recover. , There is also a reason why the people over there did not lower their voices.

"Really? I said why her family has been making such a fuss these two days. She is shameless."

"It's not a big deal, the atmosphere of this village is going to be ruined."

"The Niu family didn't say anything? Why didn't the Hong family come over to see?"

"What are you looking at? I heard that the old woman is trying to show her new daughter-in-law."

"Oh, this is really, why do you think that sister Zhao Xing'er has to fall in love with a married man?"

"Who knows."

"You said this Mrs. Zhao..."

The voice in the back became quieter, and Meng Yining didn't bother to listen.But from what I heard earlier, I knew it was talking about Zhao Xing'er's trouble with Niu Cuihua and Li.

Gee.

After eating a melon, Meng Yining returned home with a basket full of pigweed and a full cow.

Xia Wenze is already reading in the study.

Meng Yining left a message to Meng Chongjue about the food, cleaned up the dandelions he had dug up, washed the wild onions, put the underside of the shallots into a small bowl, and scooped some sour from the sauerkraut jar. The water comes out to marinate.The shallots are too small, and it might be difficult to find them if thrown into the sauerkraut jar.

The dandelions are still fresh and tender these two days, and it happens to be hot now, so you can cook porridge at noon to clear the heat and relieve the heat.

After finishing all this, Meng Yining poured out the beaten pigweed from the back basket, chopped it into pieces and threw it into the pot, added rice bran and stirred it, and there was more than half of the pot, which was the pig food for noon and night.

It was still early, Meng Yining went out of the courtyard and took a measurement in a large open space near the kitchen.

The homestead on the side of the old house was bought by them, and the homestead on the side of the kitchen was originally bought for an orchard.

As a result, the orchard was changed to Jiajiao Mountain.

Before his head, he was thinking about building a chicken farm, but after thinking about it, the chicken farm built here would be quite a smell.

Xia Wenze suggested buying a piece of land on the side of Jiajiao Mountain near Xiaoqingshan to raise chickens, and he planned to keep this piece of land to build a warehouse.

Whether it is a food city or a department store in the future, it will need a place to store a lot of goods.

A hundred or so square land here is probably not enough.

Meng Yining stood here and looked forward. Not far ahead, the further you go to the village, the more people there are. If you want an open space, you can only go to the entrance of the village.

Meng Yining calculated in his heart, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Prepare everything that needs to be prepared now, and buy the land that needs to be bought, so as to avoid any accidents when the time comes.

He Fangfang was cleaning the chicken coop. One hundred chickens had cut a relatively open place and nailed a simple chicken coop out of wooden boards.

The bamboo curtains Meng Yining and the others wove were also enclosed outside. At night, the chickens were driven into the simple chicken pens, and they were released to play in the place surrounded by the bamboo curtains during the day.

Miss He Fang is currently cleaning up all the chicken cakes in the simple chicken coop, and Aunt He is busy watering the vegetable garden on the other side.

Meng Yining came over to look at the chick a few times, praised the little girl, and then continued to the entrance of the village.

The five members of the He family are busy at the moment, He Fangyi is still watching the transplanting of rice seedlings over the field, He Fangliang is watching the building of walls and digging reservoirs on Jiajiao Mountain, and He Guanshi is watching the building of houses here.

Meng Yining really felt that there were still too few people.

If food courts and department stores are opened, there will only be more places for important people.

He didn't know whether to buy people again or just recruit people in the village. This matter had to be discussed with Xia Wenze.

The road out of the village is about one mile to nearly two miles. There are sparse fields near the river, but as we get closer to the official road, this side is full of wasteland.

Opposite the official road is a forest with luxuriant branches and leaves, blocking most of the official road from the sun.

On the right hand side of Shangyao Village, there is a large area of ​​Bamao. Of course, Bamao is the dialect here, and it is called Wujiemang in modern science.According to visual estimation, there are nearly 300 meters of this stuff.

On the left is a grove of acacia trees, on which the acacia flowers are falling heavily on the branches. Meng Yining picks a bunch of them casually, pulls out a flower and sucks the nectar inside.

Both sides can be bought, enough land.

The geographical location of Shangyao Village is actually very good. It is not too far from the town to the left or right. In addition, this is an official road, and the vehicles that pass by do not stop every day.

If the food court and department store are opened here, the business will definitely be good.And as they open up, it can also drive the economy of nearby villages to follow suit.

Meng Yining thought about the feasibility in his heart. If he followed what his second brother said, there would be great potential for this matter.

But in fact, to be honest, he prefers to control the Food City and the department store by himself.

I have to think about it again.

Anyway, I can't open it for a while, so I bought the land first, and slowly cleaned up and built a house here, and I will talk about opening a food court and a department store when he comes back from the border.

If it is really possible for my brother to accumulate military merits and get an official position, there is no need to add others to the Food City and the department store.

After seeing this, Meng Yining walked back, maybe he had been here for a long time, and just after walking for a while, he saw Xia Wenze walking over.

Seeing Meng Yining, Xia Wenze stood under the shade of a tree and waited for him.

"How did you find out?" Meng Yining smiled and went to hold the man's hand.

Xia Wenze picked off a locust flower petal that fell on his head, "Seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, Manager He said he saw you coming to the entrance of the village."

"Standing there for a while." Meng Yining lifted up the bunch of acacia flowers in his hand, "Would you like to taste the nectar?" The acacia nectar is slightly sweet, and it's quite interesting to inhale and play with.

The original owner used to do this with the village children a lot when he was young.

Even now, there are many children in the village who come to the entrance of the village to pick the nectar of acacia flowers and the nectar of cannas, which are also liked by children, but there are few cannas in the village.

Xia Wenze picked one, picked the core and put it in his mouth. The slightly sweet taste spread in his mouth with the fragrance of acacia flower, which made his expression softer. "When I was young, I always came here to pick acacia flower and suck the nectar in it."

"Are you going to do this too?" Meng Yining really didn't remember, the original owner didn't have much memories of Xia Wenze's childhood.

"Yes." Xia Wenze said with a smile: "One time when I came to pick it, I was accidentally stung by a green caterpillar. It tickled me for half a month. After that, Auntie never allowed me to pick it again."

Meng Yining smiled and said, "Then you are really careless." There is always a kind of green caterpillar on the acacia tree, which stings and itches.He just saw several.

"Well, the eldest brother and the second brother were pressed and beaten by my mother, saying that they didn't like me." Xia Wenze's words were full of nostalgia, but when they grew up, everyone no longer had the innocent feelings of childhood.

Meng Yining held his hand tightly and told him some dark history of his childhood.

Facing the summer wind, the two walked under the shade of the trees on the village road. One was tall and handsome. Although there was a blemish on the right side of his face, he couldn't hide his gentle demeanor.The one on the side is slightly shorter and slender, with fair skin and black hair swaying back and forth with the wind.

The two looked down at each other from time to time, only seeing each other.

When the two came back, they happened to meet Xia You, the second son of the village head, driving an ox cart out of the village.

Xia You stopped the bullock cart next to the two of them, and greeted, "Ah Ze, you guys just came back."

"Brother Ah You. No, I walked around the entrance of the village." Xia Wenze asked, "Are you planning to go to town?"

"Yes. The well on the other side of Yantang has been dug. My father left someone at home for lunch. I will go to the town to buy some meat and come back."

Xia Wenze asked: "Where is the fourth well going to drill?" Originally, a well was planned to be drilled, and it was drilled at the Yantang, but the villagers felt that it was not safe, and they wanted to drill another well, but the location was not available for a while. Not set.

Xia You's face became more unhappy when he heard this, "My father is thinking of digging a well at the Huangjueshu at the entrance of the village. Isn't this place close to the river? I heard from the well digger that the water here is quite high. But the Zhao family was unwilling and wanted the second well to be drilled in their Zhao family's ancestral hall. Didn't they hear that wells could be drilled there in the early years, but life was difficult at that time, and no one was willing to pay for it. Right now I want to drill a well there."

Xia Wenze thought about the location of the Zhao Clan's Ancestral Hall, "The Zhao Clan's Ancestral Hall is too remote, so the people of the Zhao Clan are closer to it. If the well is there, it will be inconvenient for others."

Xia You waved the whip in his hand and slapped it in the air, "Who says it's not? My father said that if the well hits the Zhao's ancestral hall, the Zhao family will pay the money, but they don't If you are willing, let’s just say that this matter is also a matter of the village, and everyone can go to fetch water, and it’s not like digging the well in the Zhao’s ancestral hall.”

Meng Yining thinks that most of the Zhao clan are thick-skinned and shameless. The Zhao clan's ancestral hall is at the innermost position at the end of the village, and the people of the Zhao clan are closer there, like the Xia clan and the Meng clan. There is no one over there, so it goes without saying who is convenient to drill the well there.

Xia Wenze frowned slightly, and asked another question, "Brother Dexin, did you fail the spring test this year?" There were four members of the Xia clan participating in the spring test this year, and Xia Wenchen was the most promising one.But he was busy with family matters during this time, and he didn't go around the clan, so he didn't hear the news.

"I didn't win." Xia You sighed, "If Brother Dexin wins, the Zhao family can't be so arrogant." The three major clans in Shangyao Village need scholars most, whether it's the Meng family, the Xia family or the Zhao family. There are so many talents, but except for the Zhao family who have Juren, the other two clans have no Juren.

This is also the reason why the Zhao family is becoming more and more arrogant in the village.

Scholars are still just students, just like those admitted to the college entrance examination now. Only when they become Juren can they have the fame of being an official.Although the old Juren of the Zhao family said that he is no longer an official, he has friends who are in the official position. The network is not comparable to that of the other two clans.

Therefore, Shangyao Village seems to be peaceful in recent years, but everyone knows that the Xia family and the Meng family have been suppressed by the Zhao family.If it weren't for the fact that there is a clan elder above the Zhao family who can understand clearly, Shangyao Village may become the only one with the Zhao family.

The author says:

Locust tree is divided into locust tree and national locust tree. I am writing about locust tree here. When I was young, I often picked flowers to suck nectar. The nectar of canna is also delicious.Regarding the imperial examination, there are discrepancies in the text. This is not very easy to write, so just because of the slight discrepancy in the plot, the systems of the imperial examination are different in different dynasties. I will not bother with this, and everyone should not go If you are entangled with this, it should be set up separately.Love you guys.

Good night~ Mejiu~
