little fool's child bride
Chapter 259
Xiao Xiao, who had forgotten about Jiang's family for a long time, suddenly heard Li Escort talking about Master Jiang, and her memory flashed back to the day when she was almost killed by Queen Zhang.I remember Queen Zhang said that the looting by the Prairie Army was her design, just to get revenge on the Jiang family.Now it seems that her goal has been achieved——
"Is Escort Li going to Ancheng to rest?" Xiao Xiao asked after thinking for a while, "I want to visit Jiang's house."
Escort Li was about to ask what he was doing at Jiang's house, but he quickly realized that Xiao Xiao was the second wife of Jiang's house if she counted seriously.Suddenly a little embarrassed, he quickly agreed, saying that he could send Xiao Xiao to Jiang's house before leaving.
"Thank you then." Xiao Xiao said to him sincerely, and then got into the carriage again after eating.
Within a few days, the group arrived in Ancheng.Xiao Xiao bid farewell to Escort Li at the entrance of the inn, and then went to drink tea in the restaurant first, wanting to hear what Ancheng said to Jiang's family.
"My lord is asking the right person when you ask us. Nothing big or small in Ancheng can escape the ears of my Shuanzi!" Xiaoer from the teahouse smiled happily and took a piece of silver from Xiao Xiao, and then began to talk to Xiao Xiao. Xiao talked about the recent events in Ancheng, "Recently, the most talked about in Ancheng is about the Jiang family. Everyone said that the Jiang family is going to collapse..."
He knocked on the closed door of the Jiang family.
But Xiao Xiao knocked for a long time but there was no answer, so he had no choice but to run to the back door, intending to repeat the old trick and jump over the wall to enter the hospital.It's a pity that I don't know if I have heard the news that Xiao Xiao is coming. The wall in the backyard is not only one foot higher, but also repainted. There is not a single gap on the cement wall that can be stepped on.
Knocking on the back door with the last hope, Xiao Xiao heard footsteps inside, and finally thought that someone was there.However, an old man opened the door a crack impatiently, and before he could see who was coming, he frowned and said, "Our master doesn't see any visitors or anyone!"
"The second lady is missing?" Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows.
"What about the second lady and the third lady, we only have..." The old man suddenly widened his eyes and opened the door violently, "Mr. Xiao!"
The gatekeeper didn't care about anything else, his old face immediately smiled and invited Xiao Xiao in.After not walking far, he met Dezi who was in a hurry, Xiao Xiaodang even stopped him, and then wanted to ask about the current situation of the Jiang family.
"Ma'am?" Tokuko was taken aback after seeing the person clearly, and then showed a confused expression, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Xiao told Dezi what she had heard about Jiang's family in the teahouse, but before she asked what was going on, Tokuko said with a sad face: "That's true, Jiang's situation is like this now."
Outsiders said that Mr. Jiang is crazy is not false at all, but the situation is much more complicated.The former servants of the Jiang family could walk and run, and Dezi was in charge of the master's daily life recently. Seeing that Xiao Xiao didn't understand, he took him to see Master Jiang.Walking through the familiar road, the two came to Master Jiang's yard, only to see a disheveled man staring blankly at the sky in the yard, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Master, why are you barefoot again?" Dezi hurriedly stepped forward to put his shoes on, "And this jacket, why are the buttons untied? The cloak is not fastened..."
Mr. Jiang remained motionless like a puppet, his eyes were only looking at the gray sky, and he turned a deaf ear to Dezi's words.But Tokuko has long been used to it. He who was originally lazy and talkative didn't expect that he has become the kind of person he hates the most, and he just keeps his head down and works silently.Sighing a few times from time to time, he asked Xiao Xiao to come forward, and then said to Mr. Jiang: "Do you remember the second lady? Xiao Xiao, Mr. Xiao is here to see you."
Master Jiang rolled his eyes, as if touched.But he moved his mouth a few times but didn't say anything, still maintaining the previous posture.Dezi yelled a few more times, Xiao Xiao waited for a while and saw that Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, and finally had to give up.Dezi shook his head helplessly at Xiao Xiao, and then explained to Xiao Xiao directly, not afraid that Master Jiang would hear it: "Master Jiang is like this now, and he doesn't do anything during the day except be in a daze. You still know how to eat and sleep."
Xiao Xiao thought to herself that it was probably because she was too much stimulated and closed herself off. If she could untie her knot, it might not be a cure.But it's hard to deal with it, after all, Xiao Xiao can't bring his wife and children back to life, can't she?The child who had been looking forward to it with great difficulty disappeared like this, and no one could bear it if it was put on it.Besides, for the sake of this child, he has betrayed his own younger brother. Now that his family love is gone, even the family property that he has worked hard for for many years is gone. To be honest, it is good that he did not commit suicide.Xiao Xiao thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter had to start with Jiang Muyu, after all, this was the only remaining relative of Young Master Jiang in the world.
"I'm Jiang Muyu's husband," Xiao Xiao carefully observed the expression of Master Jiang, seeing the muscles on his face twitching, and knew that he had listened, "He is very powerful now, from the commander-in-chief to the present The commander-in-chief, who holds a [-] army in his hand, guards the border town. Everyone says he is a young hero..."
Xiao Xiao played Jiang Muyu well, and saw that Master Jiang was listening seriously, so he said to himself: "Since he is the general soldier, I can't lag behind, can I? I used to be Jing Zhaoyin, but I I know in my heart that this person can't sit still, after all, how can the emperor's favor last forever? Besides, I think learning and doing business are more attractive to me, so after most of the business is over, I plan to go to Xiangcheng to find Jiang Muyu."
"But I can't do nothing there, embroider in the boudoir like a woman," Xiao Xiao took out a book, "Here is the business plan I wrote a long time ago, I plan to start from canned fruit... ..."
Canned fruit was the thought that flashed through Xiao Xiao's mind after meeting those people in the shack.So he bought a large forest, first taught those people how to transplant and graft fruit trees, and then waited for the fruits in autumn.Later, the first batch of fruit trees did not live up to Xiao Xiao's expectations, and each of them met his expectations.However, the ancient fruit trees did not have much economic benefit just by selling fruits, because transportation and natural disasters were a big problem.
The first is natural disasters.Ancient fruit trees were not "tougher" than modern fruit trees. In the ancient times without pesticides, almost all fruit trees would suffer if they encountered any pest damage, and they might lose money before they made money.Moreover, there were many more birds and beasts in ancient times than in modern times. How to prevent birds is also a problem, otherwise the fruit will be dedicated to nature.
Followed by man-made disasters.Although Xiao Xiao has tossed out the cement road, it cannot replace the railway, so it will take a lot of time to go to other cities.Fruits are not easy to transport, and with the bumps of the carriage, no matter how good the precautions are, it is estimated that half of them will be intact in other places, so I am lucky.Therefore, Xiao Xiao's orchard can't expand its business, because no matter how much it has, it can only be sold to the nearby Wangcheng, otherwise it will be a loss-making business.
Xiao Xiao didn't dare to include canned fruit in her business plan at that time, because she didn't know how to deal with glass bottles and rubber rings.But after seeing how the Ministry of Industry made various tricks in firing glass, he felt that he was really superficial and petty.Although no rubber tree was found—after all, this thing also grew in Malaysia and other places in modern times, but he can completely emulate Appat!After heating in a high-temperature water bath, seal it with a cork and wax...
In fact, it is the inherent modern thinking that limits Xiao Xiao's imagination.He always felt that fruit cans should be tin cans or glass bottles with iron lids, and rubber and bicycles were easily made in the novels he read, so he just kept thinking about why he was so unlucky and didn't have what he wanted.But looking back to the previous life of canned food, is it possible that canned food came after rubber appeared?In fact, our country already had a similar food storage method as early as 3000 years ago. It is recorded in the earliest agricultural book "Qi Min Yao Shu": "First cut the livestock meat into pieces, add salt and wheat flour and mix well , reconciled, the head is sealed with clay in the inner porcelain."
So Xiao Xiao suddenly became enlightened, and included canned fruit in her business.After he has his own orchards in various places, he can send fruits from all over the world to various places in Baiyu, and earn high profits from it.He can even get the qualification to sell wine, and then use those poor-looking fruits to make wine, which will be another income at that time.You can also raise some chickens and ducks in the orchard...
Xiao Xiao thought a lot, and wrote a lot in the notebook, because he didn't expect that after Xiangcheng, he would not help Jiang Muyu at all.He even planned to have a good talk with the tribes on the prairie, buy a large amount of wool and make it into wool, so that sweaters and trousers can also appear.There are also cotton clothes. Cotton was introduced to China from India and Arabia in the history of China. That is to say, there was no such crop in China before the Song Dynasty.Xiao Xiao feels that Baiyu is a bit like China, so she doesn't know whether the cotton will also have to be brought back from the western countries instead of being discovered by him.Steam engine, generator, Xiao Xiao is very eager to let Baiyu enter modern times, so that Baiyu is far ahead of any country in the world, so that no one dares to attack Baiyu.
Jiang Muyu didn't have to go to the battlefield.
Xiao Xiao really doesn't want Jiang Muyu to risk his life to make contributions, because he really loves that young man who already has several scars on his body.Xiao Xiao, who came from modern times, still couldn't adapt to the rhythm of ancient children who had to go out to work and get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. In his opinion, Jiang Muyu should be sitting in a classroom with bright and clean windows to study, not when he met The wound is shaking his lips and saying "it doesn't hurt".Xiao Xiao always felt that he was a cold person, but maybe this ancient time was too lonely, he couldn't help but regard Jiang Muyu as his own child.
"Is Escort Li going to Ancheng to rest?" Xiao Xiao asked after thinking for a while, "I want to visit Jiang's house."
Escort Li was about to ask what he was doing at Jiang's house, but he quickly realized that Xiao Xiao was the second wife of Jiang's house if she counted seriously.Suddenly a little embarrassed, he quickly agreed, saying that he could send Xiao Xiao to Jiang's house before leaving.
