Chapter 170 Lin Dajiao’s Wedding

 After the autumn harvest, there were only Chinese cabbages, radishes and green onions left in the fields. Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu moved back to their old house, mainly because they would not have to worry about Xiuyu and Xiuxiang noticing the secret of the wardrobe.

God knows, in order not to expose the secrets of the wardrobe these days, Lin Xiaoman has been reluctant to go to the warehouse over there. Shopkeeper Feng has sent people over several times to rush for the goods.

After sending Xiuyu and Xiuxiang away, the first thing Lin Xiaoman did was to replenish goods. The weather was getting colder, the wind was getting stronger, and the sales of cream and clam oil also increased.

In addition, the soaps sold before are also selling better and better. Shopkeeper Feng said that they have been sold for one yuan and one tael of silver in the capital, and many people are grabbing them.

Lin Xiaoman counted the number of soaps she sold to Feng Ji and couldn't help but sigh that it was so profitable.

Fortunately, Feng Ji was also afraid that Lin Xiaoman would think the price was too low and sell the soap to others, so he took the initiative to increase the price of the soap to one hundred cents for Lin Xiaoman. However, this price had to be adjusted according to the market, just in case Feng Ji's price dropped one day.

If you come down, you will also be given to Lin Xiaoman.

Lin Xiaoman knew that she was just a small farm girl in the past. Feng Ji earned more but less, and she had nothing to do if he didn't give it to her. But now that she is the county head, Feng Ji didn't dare to offend her, just to befriend her.

Only then did the price go up.

After the corn harvested earlier was dried in the sun for a while, part of it was threshed and bagged, and some of the corn that was not threshed was left to be loaded into the truck and sent back to the capital by Eunuch Fang and Aunt Jin.

In addition to Lin Xiaoman's family, many families in the village also planted corn. Except for the seeds for next year, the rest were sold to the court, and the price was three times higher than that of rice.

In previous years, an acre of land could produce two shi of rice, but instead it could grow five to six shi of corn. This would give you more than ten times more income. Although it cannot be compared with the income from growing peppers and tomatoes, it is still enough.

Let the villagers be so happy that they grin when they see others.

Villagers from other villages also came to Lin Xiaoman after learning about it, wanting to plant with her next year. For these people, Lin Xiaoman would not refuse anyone who came.

Soon, the news spread that the owner of Qingping County was making a lot of money by farming. Not to mention the people of Wuzhou Prefecture, many people from further away also rushed to Qingping County.

Some people even hit the road directly without a road guide. Therefore, there have been many refugees in Wuzhou Prefecture recently. As long as it is found that they are not disguised as bandits, they will be sent to Qingping County and handed over to Lu Jin.

As long as these people can produce household registration documents, Lu Jin will keep them. However, the resettlement of these people is also a problem. Some of them bring money and food, which is fine. After building a few resettlement houses, they can be divided into men and women.<

/p>

As for those who came empty-handed, Lu Jin had people register them and give them food on credit first, which would then be deducted from the harvest after next autumn's harvest.

These people were about to starve to death before they came, so they came here with all their might. Not only asking them to pay back next year, but also asking them to work for nothing in the future, in order not to starve to death, they all agreed at this time.<

/p>

Fortunately, in addition to the bumper harvest of corn and sweet potatoes this year, the families in Hedong Village and several nearby villages who planted the rice provided by Lin Xiaoman also had a bumper harvest. The output was at least twice as much as in previous years, and the rice they produced was much better than what they had grown before.

There is no shortage of food in Qingping County, and the rations for these people are enough.

As for those who couldn't produce their household registration documents, Lu Jin had everyone escorted back to their original place of residence, and he actually found out that many of them had committed crimes.

The day after the autumn harvest ushered in the marriage of Xu Qiuliang and Lin Dajiao.

Originally, Lin Dajiao wanted to wear a new dress to get married, but Xu Qiuliang said he didn't agree, so he wanted to find someone to do it. Lin Xiaoman happened to know about it, so he took care of it.

Lin Xiaoman drew the drawings himself, took the materials and asked Grandma Chen to do it, and Grandma Chen helped find someone to embroider it. Although the gold and silver threads on it were embroidered by machine, they were no better than the embroidery girl here.

The difference in one line of embroidery.

The patterns are even more complicated and novel.

This wedding dress cost Lin Xiaoman more than 10,000 yuan, not including labor. They didn't want any labor, and they only asked Lin Xiaoman to allow them to use this drawing to make the wedding dress and sell it for takeout.

Lin Xiaoman naturally agreed. After all, the craftsmanship fee for such a complicated wedding dress must be worth tens of thousands. If it is sold outside, it can be sold for more than ten or two hundred thousand.

When Xifu came over, Lin Dajiao was shocked. It was so beautiful. Not to mention how much gold thread was used, the craftsmanship was unprecedented.

Isn’t this worth a few hundred taels?

Even if Lin Xiaoman repeatedly said that it was only a few dozen taels, she still didn't believe it. The gift was really too expensive. Even if it was given in the name of Lin Erhu to thank his teacher, Lin Dajiao did not dare to accept it. In the end, it was Xu Qiuliang who spoke, and she was embarrassed.

I accepted it.

Xu Qiuliang has admitted several more students since Qiu Wei, and he earns several taels of silver every month for repairs.

After some people learned that he was Lin Xiaolian's husband, they would come to ask for words from time to time, and they would also get a few taels to dozens of taels of money.

But it made those people in the village who originally said mean things about Lin Dajiao very envious.

I wanted to say that Lin Dajiao was married to someone else, but the county magistrate said it himself that Xu Qiuliang had never married before, and both of them were married for the first time. This makes people don’t even know what to say.

Early in the morning, Lin Youwang's house was crowded with people who came to see the bride. Lin Dajiao was wearing a beautiful red wedding dress, with a gold hairpin in her hair that matched the wedding dress, making everyone look beautiful.

Unprecedented.

The originally tanned face looked delicate and fair under Lin Xiaoman's skillful hands. Although the painting was not the traditional long eyebrows and rouge lips here, it looked smart and beautiful, which matched the look even more.

Wearing beautiful clothes, everyone seems to be more than ten years younger.

Lin Xiaoman bought this set of cosmetics there. She changed several types before choosing this one. She also learned her makeup from Meng Meng, and the effect is really good.

Even the little bit of rich red on the lips is exquisite and beautiful.

Everyone who saw it was surprised, "Is this a Dajiao? She's so beautiful."

"Yes, this wedding dress is all embroidered with gold thread, right? Such thin gold thread is much more valuable than gold. How much did it take?"

"Oh, this golden hairpin... Dajiao has made a lot of money from farming this year, but she can't marry someone and spend all her money, right? The man she married can't work in the fields. What will happen in the future?

Passed?"

The second grandma didn’t like hearing this and coughed, “What are you talking about? If your daughter marries a man who works in the fields, my daughter must also marry a man who works in the fields? Even if my uncle doesn’t work in the fields, he can still protect my daughter for the rest of her life.

I don’t have to worry about eating and drinking. Which of your uncles can compare with me?”

After hearing this, everyone did not dare to say anything anymore. Who is the wife of the former patriarch and the current patriarch's mother? As long as they don't want to be tricked, they can only endure it, but they feel very angry.
