The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

How to arrange Xiaozaozhuang in the future makes Manager Tiantian extremely anxious.He was so anxious that he begged Erye Lian several times, but he didn't see that his master was bothered about it. Instead, he was in a good mood and asked someone to build stones near Xiaozaozhuang.

At first, Tian Guanshi thought that his second master was busy building a pig house, but when the stone house took shape, Tian Guanshi realized something was wrong. The 'house' is built into a circle by stones, with half-moon-shaped openings on the upper and lower floors, and the lower one is relatively larger.

A total of more than a hundred such small round houses have been built, standing in rows among the high walls that have just been built, which looks very strange at first glance.

This thing has an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but Tian Guanshi's brain is not working because of the fire, and he just thinks that this thing is very similar to a luxurious residence a hundred years later.

Manager Tian felt that if he stood on the wall and looked from afar, these would be the same as graves.He was so anxious that he almost burned himself every day, and every time he went to Bieyuan to bother Lian's second master with shame, but before he could open his mouth to ask, he was called back by the second master with a series of questions.It's nothing more than asking how these 'grave mounds' are progressing, how many have been built, and then sending him to hurry up and remind them.

Hou Ye is Hou Ye after all, even if it is his own Hou Ye, Tian Guanshi would not dare to make mistakes casually.But every time he was dismissed by Lian Erye in this way, his voice was so anxious that his voice was so angry that he was almost hoarse and speechless.

Tian Guanshi made up his mind again today, he must ask clearly, and remind Lian Erye well.

……

Tian Guanshi just arrived in Bieyuan, and he was discouraged again when he heard that Lian's second master had come to Beijing.This time he couldn't sit still anymore, stomped his feet, and squatted in the yard waiting for him to come back regardless of his image.

Jia Lian went to the Lin Mansion first when he returned to Beijing.

Now Lin Ruhai is a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, often accompanying the emperor and assisting the emperor in managing the government affairs of the court. He and several other academicians can be said to be the people who can most influence the holy will.

When Lin Ruhai heard that Jia Lian was coming, he was full of enthusiasm, and hurriedly invited him into the room to sit down. After a few words, he led him to see her aunt Jia Min.Jia Min was very happy, and asked Jia Lian in many ways, and finally couldn't help mentioning Jia Mu.Jia Lian guessed what she was going to say, smiled and shook her head slightly.

Jia Min wisely didn't mention that, and asked Lin Ruhai to entertain her nephew.

Lin Ruhai ordered people to serve good wine and good food, even the century-old wine he just bought was willing to give Jia Lian a taste.

"How does it taste?" Lin Ruhai asked Jia Lian with a smile.

Jia Lian took a sip and shook her head, "I haven't drank for a long time, but I feel a little spicy."

"If you don't like to drink, don't drink it. We don't need to be cautious when we have a meal. Then let's be more elegant and drink tea instead of wine." After Lin Ruhai happily accompanied Jia Lian to eat, his face calmed down, very solemn, Send away irrelevant people in the house.

Jia Lian's face became serious.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Lian worriedly, "I've heard about everything in the palace. The emperor cut off all the supplies under your name and reused the Xue family. It's just that a few koi died, and someone who cared made a fuss about it."

"It's all right," Jia Lian said.

"How can it be all right? You said it was too easy." Lin Ruhai couldn't help feeling sorry for Jia Lian, "You have been supplying a lot of things to the palace, and suddenly you don't want them. What should you do with the ones in your hand?"

"People in the palace don't eat it, but outsiders eat it."

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't seem to care about it, Lin Ruhai was even more surprised, "Could it be because you are living creatures, so you don't worry about it for a while?"

"I'm not in a hurry for a day or two." Jia Lian laughed.

Lin Ruhai was even more puzzled: You will have a solution in a few days?then what to do?Expansion? "

"Expansion of breeding will not only occupy land, but also increase labor force. Now that the supply market is shrinking, expanding the scale will only increase the investment in production, which is wasteful and not worth the candle."

"That's it. Then what do you do with the fish and cattle that you were going to slaughter? If others stop, they stop. It's just a matter of one or two animals. The ones in the palace are tens of thousands of catties. Where are you going to get it for a while! And the longer the days, the more you save." The more Jia Lian showed indifference, the more Lin Ruhai wanted to get to the bottom of it.He just wanted to know how smart his nephew would be, and whether he could save himself from danger every time he encountered a crisis.Until now, he hadn't seen this kid make a fool of himself.

"If people in the palace don't eat it, people outside the palace will eat it. These days, the meat of pigs, beef and sheep will still be wasted."

"Are you planning to sell at a reduced price?"

Jia Lian shook his head, "It's the stupidest thing to do at a time like this."

"Then you're about to say it, what can you do?"

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Ruhai, who had always been calm and composed, in such a hurry, "I found out just now that my uncle seems to be very curious about this matter."

Lin Ruhai twirled his beard with lowered eyes, "I'm really curious."

"Three days later, in Xiaozaozhuang, uncle can see the answer with his own eyes." Jia Lian deliberately betrayed Lin Ruhai, and left with a smile.

"where are you going?"

"Since we're in Beijing, we have to go back to Rongfu." Jia Lian replied softly.

"Then wait a minute and ask your aunt to go with you. It happens to be able to pick up Daiyu." When Lin Ruhai mentioned Daiyu, her daughter in Rongfu, Xia Rong felt an indescribable softness.The father felt distressed, even more than the mother.Although Daiyu had only left for four days, Lin Ruhai really missed this child.

"Is she still in class at Rongfu?" Jia Lian asked.

Lin Ruhai: "Yes, his mother said that the two gentlemen you invited are very good. Daiyu has become more cheerful these days. Her temperament will not change, she is still the same personality, but her heart is much more relaxed, and she can see many things openly." , Don’t be sentimental casually, this lady is better at teaching than us.”

Jia Lian: "This is the best. People shouldn't lose their true self."

After Jia Lian got into the carriage at the main gate, he waited there for a while.Then I heard the sound of ruts, and a woman came to tell me that I could start.Jia Lian and Jia Min's cars drove towards Rongfu one after the other.After about a cup of tea, the carriage arrived.

When Jia's mother heard that Jia Lian was back, she didn't seem very happy. She just called a woman and happily led Jia Min into the house.

Jia Min quickly noticed something was wrong, and looked at Jia Lian with a bit of injustice, but saw that his face was calm, and his mood was not affected by the mother-in-law's neglect just now.

Jia Min couldn't say anything, she couldn't help admiring her, and happily brought Jia Lian into the house.

Jia Lian met Jia's mother according to the etiquette, only said some polite words, and then left.

Jia's mother was very unhappy, she thought that Jia Lian came today to make amends for her mistakes.As a result, she only put on a cold face for a while, and Jia Lian couldn't wait to escape.This is not a sincere apology at all.

Mother Jia was very upset. Looking at Jia Lian's back who was about to leave, she shook her head and gritted her teeth suddenly, saying to Mrs. Wang: "From now on, you will be the master of this house. Don't ask me about any big or small things. If you want to be your housekeeper for so many years, you must be in charge." Know the measure."

Mrs. Wang is only acting as housekeeper recently, and the power in her hand is like a spider's silk, which will be broken if touched a little. .Although the power of Mrs. Wang's housekeeper is far less than before, she is only in charge of the monthly money and the small things of making clothes.But this little bit of power has already given birth to bits and pieces of hope in her ashen heart.

Today, when Jia Mu suddenly said these words, the little sparks in Mrs. Wang's heart instantly burned the whole heart with lightning speed.

She has hope!

When Mrs. Wang was excited and panicked, she knelt on the ground, thanked Jia Mu with tears, and said many words of gratitude.

However, Mother Jia ignored her the whole time, but kept looking at the door, at the grandson who was not at all moved by her decision.

In the blink of an eye, the person left and was no longer in sight.

"Get me back quickly!" Mother Jia patted the table and shouted loudly.

Since Jia Min was also there, Daiyu naturally wanted to see her mother.The Sanchun sisters and Xing Xiuyan who attended the class with her, and Xue Baochai, who joined the class recently, all came together.When the girls entered the house and heard Jiamu throwing fire, they all quieted down and looked around, pretending that they didn't understand or didn't hear.

Mother Jia was in a fit of anger, so naturally she didn't care about the maids who had just entered the door.

She cursed: "Look at his arrogant look, is this here to greet me, is he here to urge me to die!"

"Don't say this, it sounds like a thousand arrows piercing your heart. If you love your daughter, then don't say such words again."

"Okay, okay, if I don't say anything, I'll pretend I never had that grandson." Mother Jia was furious, swearing so much, but in fact she had long been looking forward to Jia Lian's return.One is that without him as a Marquis, Rong Mansion would not be able to play at all; the other is that she is worried about Jingxin and still wants her to give birth in Rong Mansion.

Jia Min understands Mother Jia's heart, understands that she just can't get down, and wants to regain her face in front of the juniors.However, Jia Lian is a ignorant person. When people tell him to get out, he really gets out.When Jia's mother yelled for him to come back, she rolled away.

Jia Lian hurried out of Rongfu, thinking that it would be smooth, and went straight to the other garden in the suburbs of Beijing.Who expected to meet Jia Rui here.Now Jia Rui is dressed very vigorously, and he looks a bit decent.

Jia Rui hurriedly bowed to Jia Lian, and after greeting Jia Lian, he asked Jia Lian about the condition of Xiaozaozhuang.

Jia Lian glanced at him coldly, he was not familiar with Jia Rui enough to talk about such things casually.

Jia Rui stared at Jia Lian in a daze, with an expression of "I have a lot to say but can't say anything" on his face.

What a coincidence.

Jia Lian then met Jia Rong again.After Jia Rong greeted Jia Lian with a smile, she took him to a secluded place.The other party looked serious, and Jia Lian felt that it might be a big deal, but he also felt that Jia Rong couldn't say anything big from his mouth.

"Second Uncle Lian, don't be angry, listen to me, there are only two sentences."

Jia Rong looked around nervously, and when she found that nothing was wrong, she rubbed her hands together in embarrassment, as if it was difficult to talk about the current problem.He looked at Jia Lian timidly, with strong complaints in his eyes.

Jia Lian looked at him and counted silently in his heart.Seeing that he still hasn't opened his mouth, he lifts his foot and walks away.

Jia Rong was in a hurry and wanted to stop her, but she couldn't.

"Second Uncle Lian, I understand!" Jia Rong shouted.

Jia Lian heard that there was something in his words and told him to speak quickly.

Jia Rong blushed and said to Jia Lian resentfully, "I know, I know everything about you."

Jia Lian: "I don't understand."

Jia Rong sneered: "I'm already like this, what else do you need to hide!"

"It's okay? I'm in a hurry to leave first." Jia Lian didn't bother to pay attention to Jia Rong's resentment, dropped this sentence coldly, and drove away.

Jia Rong chased after shouting something, but in the end it was a step too late.

He returned home embarrassingly, seeing Wang Xifeng bustling about in a dainty manner, with a complacent look on his face, he felt even more unhappy.He also blamed himself even more. When he saw Second Uncle Lian today, he was coy and missed the best time.It's really self-inflicted!

On the way back, Xing'er, who was full of curiosity, kept guessing Jia Rong's purpose in keeping his second master Lian.In the end, I still couldn't guess why, and I blamed the second master for not paying attention to this matter.As long as you ask a little, the truth will be revealed, how good it is.

When Jia Lian returned to Bieyuan, Tian Guanshi was drinking a kind of bitter tea. He squatted in the courtyard and got angry. Finally, he was looking forward to Lian's second master. He almost cried with joy, and almost fell into the second master's arms. .

As soon as Jia Lian entered the courtyard, he saw him sitting on the stone steps, and asked, "How is the construction going?"

Having waited three hours for Tian Guanshi, his brain was a little slow, and he suddenly realized that the second master Lian was talking about those graves, so he said, "Hurry up, it's almost time to close the roof."

Jia Lian hooked his fingers and signaled Steward Tian to follow him into the house, "Guard Yang from Yangzhou Pharmacy, do you know?"

"Yeah, I remember people saying the medicines are stored really well."

"He has already been asked to come to Beijing, and he will arrive in about ten days. Remember to pick him up at the pier. It's best to ask for board and lodging," Jia Lian instructed.

Steward Yang...

Steward Tian suddenly made such a calculation, and discovered the subtlety of it.It turned out that the second master wanted to use Guanshi Yang to solve the problem of overproduction in their small Zaozhuang.

"What's the matter with you?"

Steward Tian said very uneasy: "It will take another ten days for Steward Yang to come to the capital. I'm afraid Xiaozaozhuang will not be able to bear it for such a long period of time."

"Don't carry it, you can do whatever you want from tomorrow." Jia Lian sent Steward Tian back, thinking about going to see Jingxin for a while, and then he was reported that Brother Rong had followed.

Jia Lian was surprised to see him, but seeing Jia Rong crying, she almost knelt down for him.

"What are you going to do?" Jia Lian asked.

Jia Rong took a deep breath, then inhaled again, then suddenly knelt down and said to Jia Lian, "Second Uncle, I'm sorry for you, and my girls are even more sorry for you."

Jia Lian was startled, and quickly pulled him up to let Jia Rong elaborate.Jia Rong told the story of her suspicion of Wang Xifeng, all kinds of clues, and finally connected to the field in Yuxi Town.

"Second Uncle Lian, I've been thinking about it. I can't let this matter rot in my stomach. In fact, I wanted to tell you a long time ago. I should have told you when I was at the family banquet in Ningguo Mansion." Jia Lian repented. "I found out about the tobacco planting by chance, and I finally found out when I questioned Ping'er. Grandma Rong didn't know what the tobacco was for, so she listened to Xinger later." Said that you want to use tobacco to make medicine to treat crops. I felt even more strange in my heart, and waited patiently. Later, when I heard that she was going to use this tobacco to frame you, I was so frightened that I lost my soul."

"Have you heard all this?" Jia Lian was a little surprised. He had been struggling to find any evidence, but today a living witness suddenly popped up.Moreover, this witness is Wang Xifeng's husband.If this goes to court, if Jia Rong testifies, such a witness will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But this is in ancient times, all relationships like to hide in the dark, without seeing the light.Because everyone wants to save face, and Zheng is giving the family even more face. No one will put the problems between husband and wife on the surface.

"These days, I've been living in a muddle. I never expected to meet such a shameless and vicious woman!"

"Also, I think...the relationship between her and Jia Rui is unclear!" Jia Rong told about the last time Jia Jing celebrated his birthday, when Jia Rui suddenly stopped Wang Xifeng and talked and laughed with him.

"I heard this from Ping'er myself. Ping'er is a kind girl. She will tell me some things and remind me kindly. Otherwise, it's up to me. I'm afraid she will be killed by that mother in a few days." The tiger was eaten." Jia Rong said angrily.

Jia Lian listened quietly to what Jia Rong had said, and sighed, "No wonder I thought you kept looking at me at the Rong Mansion's family banquet before."

Jia Rong scratched her head, embarrassed to explain the follow-up.

"You don't have to be polite, what do you want to do about your daughter-in-law?" Jia Lian knew that if Jia Rong wanted to completely destroy Wang Xifeng, the best way would be to send her to see the official directly.It's just that she committed the crime, and it was not only her who was humiliated, but also her husband and the whole family.

"I think... I want to divorce my wife, but I don't have the ability to do it right now." Jia Rong said with a sigh.

"So, why on earth did you come to me?" Jia Lian patted Jia Rong on the shoulder.

"Second Uncle Lian is smart and intelligent. I want to ask Uncle Lian for help so that she can learn the lesson thoroughly." Jia Rong said indignantly.

"Find out your own affairs." Jia Lian smiled, not intending to agree to Jia Rong.

"Why?" Jia Rong asked.

"Because in my eyes, being busy with these things is worse than worrying about the life and death of a pig." Jia Lian said truthfully.

Jia Rong was stunned, speechless in shock, and bowed to Jia Lian embarrassingly to leave.

Jia Lian didn't hold back at all.Jia Rong is not too young now, and sooner or later he has to learn some ways of dealing with people, especially as a man, he should have exercised his ability to deal with things long ago.It is impossible for Jia Lian to help him with everything, and besides, he doesn't have the time to worry about his wife, Wang Xifeng's calculations.

Three days later, Manager Tian personally reported to Jia Lian that the "grave mounds" that she had specially requested had all been built.

When Lin Ruhai came, Xue Pan and Jiang Zining heard about it somehow, so they also came to join in the fun.At the Rongfu, someone also spread the word that Jia Zheng's swaying author's carriage was long overdue.As soon as he got out of the car, he aroused everyone's attention.This outfit is luxurious and handsome, satin is the most in-demand fabric in the palace, and Jia Zheng's spirit is getting better and better these days.Before, his complexion was sallow, and on the surface he seemed to be honest and honest, but he exuded a pedantic atmosphere of a scholar; now his complexion is rosy, very energetic, he talks and laughs more confidently, and his flattering skills are also top-notch.

At this time, Jia Zheng hurriedly ran to Jia Lian and smiled, "Don't worry, don't worry about your family. It's fine without you at home."

This sounds a bit provocative.

Jia Lian ignored him at all, still standing there, showing a charming smile, welcoming the guests who came to watch.

There are still people coming one after another, and their official positions are getting more and more important, Cheng Shuliang, Zhaochen, and Jing Yingguang.

Jia Zheng was surprised to see that Jing Yingguang was there.He hastily abandoned Jia Lian's side, intending to run to Jing Yingguang, and recommended himself.

Jia Lian grabbed Jia Zheng's arm, with a smile on his lips: "Have you forgotten, our agreement back then?"

Jia Zheng's body trembled, his originally rosy face suddenly turned white.

The evidence that he framed Song Jingxin's boudoir name is still in the hands of Jia Lian and the others, and it can be spread at any time, ruining his reputation.The most important thing is Li Junwang's side. If he knows that his side is disobedient, he may be ruthless and kill him for the rest of his life.

Jia Zheng immediately became honest, and stood beside Jia Lian peacefully, pretending that he was not particularly interested in anything.In fact, my heart was overwhelmed, and I scolded Jia Lian from head to toe hysterically.

Jing Yingguang came over to say hello with a smile, chatted with Jia Lian for a while, and then went to watch the round things that were built.

Lin Ruhai and others followed along to join in the fun.

"This is..." Jing Yingguang looked at it carefully, but she had never seen it before, so she turned to look at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai smiled and shook his head, "It looks like a small stone house, but people can't live in it."

Xue Pan, who came over afterward, also scratched his head feeling strange.

"Don't know?" This thing is actually quite common, but it's just out of reach of literati, but Jia Lian didn't expect that so many people really haven't seen it.

Liu Xianglian recognized it immediately, "Is this an oven?"

When everyone heard it, they were all very surprised.Jia Lian ordered people to ignite the fire and send charcoal, and put the first batch of marinated meat jerky and jerky on the upper layer of the oven for roasting.

"Sure enough, it's an oven!" Jing Yingguang said joyfully, he was not happy to see the oven, but was pleasantly surprised and Jia Lian thought of using drying to store food.

Goodbye to another stove, a woman brought over a wooden basin of fish, all of which had been cleaned and marinated, and hung on the stove one by one, and the fish started to bake.

Everyone talked about it, and praised this method that can be eaten on weekdays but can't be thought of for a while, and it is very wonderful to apply it to Xiaozaozhuang.

After a while, the smell of meat came out.Jia Lian ordered someone to take out part of the baked food, sprinkle it with cumin, divide it into plates, and put them on the table.
