After the Bai Song Dynasty had accumulated some money, they started working on the fields they had hoarded earlier.
In addition to planting potatoes, Bai Song also obtained some other vegetables and rice seeds from space.
There were too many foods that transcended the times and people were suspicious of them. The seeds that were exchanged later were all things that were widely seen among the people of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that the seeds have been cultivated for thousands of years, and the yield is naturally much higher than that of current crops.
Today, Bai Song went to Mang County, handed the seeds to Uncle Qu and Aunt Qu, and gave them a sum of money to mobilize people in various counties to participate in planting.
Under the cooperative labor system, the harvest is divided into 50% and 50%, and a certain amount of monetary subsidies are given to the people before the first season to stimulate the enthusiasm of the people.
This kind of cooperation has never been seen in the lives of people in various counties.
As soon as the news spread in Mang County, many people came to inquire about the news.
But Bai Song didn't want to do everything by himself, so he took the carriage back to Jixian.
There are still two days until the lantern festival.
In the car returning to Jixian County, Dongxiang asked Bai Song something.
Are you prepared for the Lantern Festival's own performance?
"Is there any performance at the lantern festival?"
This was the first time Bai Song heard about this.
"Master, the Weihe Lantern Festival is just a quick glance for ordinary people, but for merchants in Jixian County, it is a great opportunity to shine. Every year, the Weihe Lantern Festival has the most eye-catching stage. You are on the Weihe River
A floating platform was set up in the center, and various merchants prepared programs to perform on the stage for tourists to watch.
If the performance is good, the reputation of the merchant behind it will be greatly increased, and it will become the talk of the people for a long time. Our restaurant is also a well-known merchant in Ji County. How can we do without a program? There is also a bamboo paper store, there must be something.
Prepare."
Bai Song was confused after hearing this: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Dongxiang looked aggrieved: "Such a well-known thing, I thought the young master already knew about it."
As soon as the carriage entered the city, Bai Song immediately told the coachman to divert to Yichun Court.
Dongxiang said that in previous years, the most popular ones for merchants were the top brothels on Hua Street.
The girls of Hualou can shine at the lantern festival, which not only benefits the merchants, but also makes themselves famous. Such a win-win situation is what everyone is willing to see.
Of course, the first thing Bai Song thought of was Qing'er.
When they arrived at Yichun Courtyard, the girls already knew Mr. Bai, and they went upstairs to Qing'er's room as if they were entering their own courtyard.
I also felt that I was too familiar with Qing'er, so I forgot to knock on the door and went in directly.
But Bai Song didn't expect that upon entering, he would find Qing'er alone in the house.
On that innocent screen, two figures overlapped. It was hard to see what their movements were, but it gave people a feeling of excessive intimacy.
Bai Song was stunned for a moment, and a woman's scream came from behind the screen.
Qing'er showed a blushing face from behind the screen, and was about to yell for someone. When she saw it was Mr. Bai, she immediately shut up. Instead, she became even more shy, with a bit of panic between her brows and eyes, and her voice continued intermittently: "
Bai...Bai...Mr. Bai?"
Bai Song froze on the spot, looking at the petite shadow behind the screen. He looked like he was sitting on the bedside with Qing'er. He didn't look like the Qing'er guard he usually saw. His figure was clearly that of a young man.
For a moment, Bai Song felt suddenly irritated and subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.
But just as he was about to make a move, Bai Song had another question in his mind: "Why should I feel unhappy? After all, Qing'er is Qing'er, not Miss Mo before. There is nothing wrong with her opening a business to receive customers."
Thinking about it, Bai Song suppressed his inner displeasure and smiled at Qing'er.
"Bai...Mr. Bai...you...don't misunderstand..." Qing'er looked panicked and hurried to the door. She was so excited that she grabbed Bai Song's hand, as if she was afraid that Mr. Bai would turn around and leave.
The figures behind the screen made little movement, but did not appear.
Bai Song watched Qing'er grab his hand and frowned.
"Miss Qing'er, I'm just here to ask you for something. I won't misunderstand anything."
"Can I ask for help?"
"For the lantern festival in two days, I heard that merchants are preparing programs. I would like to invite Miss Qing'er..."
"I'm sorry..." Miss Qing'er looked embarrassed and interrupted in a low voice, "Mr. Bai, you are a step late. Qing'er has already agreed to another merchant..."
"..."
The results were surprising and a bit disappointing.
For a long time, Bai Song thought that Miss Qing'er responded to his requests, but he didn't expect that today...
If he hadn't seen a figure behind the screen, Bai Song wouldn't have felt anything after receiving such an answer, but the scene in front of him and the current answer made his already peaceful heart a little anxious again.
Bai Song suppressed his temper, broke away from Qing'er's hand, and smiled: "That's it... I'll leave first. Now that time is running out, I'll go find another girl and ask."
"Mr. Bai..."
Before Qing'er could say anything, Bai Song had already turned around and left.
Looking at the closed door, Qing'er was in a daze. She felt Mr. Bai's displeasure, and she felt a little happy in her heart. But she was more worried. I wonder if this scene would alienate the relationship between them?
But then I thought about it again, considering my current status, being a little unfamiliar would not be a bad thing.
Just as he was thinking about it, a young man smelling of alcohol walked out from behind the screen, staggeringly hugged Qing'er from behind, pressed his hot face against Qing'er's back, and said with a hint of crying: "I am in the mall.
Frustrated, should I also be frustrated in love? That person named Bai is born to oppose me! Even Qing'er wants to fight against me?!"
If Bai Song were still here, his jaw would have dropped in shock.
Not only does this young master have a female voice, he is also very familiar!
It was actually Miss Chen Xirong from the Chen family!
…
Outside Yichun Courtyard, Dongxiang waited for a while. When she saw the young master coming out, she said happily: "Now that's good. When we wait for the Weihe Lantern Festival, Miss Qing'er will come on stage to sing a song for us. Even if we don't win the jackpot, we will definitely win."
There was a round of applause. From now on..."
Dongxiang's face was full of longing, thinking to herself that with the friendship between the young master and Miss Qing'er, inviting her to the stage was just a matter of words.
But at the end of the conversation, Dongxiang saw that the young master's expression was inappropriate and stopped talking.
"Master, what's wrong? Doesn't Miss Qing'er agree?"
Bai Song didn't say anything and walked down the street alone.
Dongxiang followed closely behind.
Bai Song walked out of the flower street quickly, then suddenly turned back, looking at it while walking, and then asked Dongxiang: "Besides Yichun Yuan, which flower house is better? Which flower house in this flower street is the most famous?"
Dongxiang pointed to the Baihualou in front of her: "Baihualou is the most famous."
Bai Song didn't ask any questions and walked straight towards Baihua Tower.
As soon as he took two steps, Dongxiang pulled him again. Bai Song was a little upset and turned around to complain: "Leave me alone!"
"Master, over there..."
"Which way?"
"Miss! It's Miss!" Dongxiang suddenly became excited.
"Miss? What lady?"
Dongxiang didn't say anything more, and she already ran towards the river bank opposite the flower building.
There were many vendors on the banks of the Wei River, and one of them, a small shop selling lanterns, attracted Bai Song.
Seeing the woman standing behind the trolley, Bai Song's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Isn't that Adou?
Bai Song lost all his thoughts and ran towards the cart.
Dongxiang was shouting in front: "Miss, Miss..."
But there were many people talking in the street, and the shouts were drowned in the crowd, and no one cared about which girl she was calling.
The girl behind the trolley seemed to hear a familiar voice. She was showing the lanterns to the guests, and her movements suddenly stopped.
Bai Song was also very excited and shouted: "Adou!"
After just shouting, the girl behind the cart immediately noticed Bai Song.
Seeing Bai Song, the girl obviously panicked, dropped the cart and ran away.
Neither Bai Song nor Dong Xiang expected that Adou would run away, and they were run away a long way in the blink of an eye.
"Miss, why are you running?!" Dongxiang shouted anxiously from behind.
"Don't stop, chase!"
Bai Song greeted from behind.
The two chased him all the way until they ran outside the Flower Street.
After leaving Flower Street, there were fewer pedestrians, and Bai Song's speed became faster. There was no way a weak woman could outrun her, and she was soon blocked in an alley by Bai Song.
Seeing that there was no way out, Adou simply squatted on the ground and gasped for air.
"Adou, why are you running?" Bai Song stepped forward and wanted to get closer, but the other party stepped back in a repulsive manner, which made Bai Song a little at a loss.
Then Dongxiang chased after her and hugged the former lady excitedly, her voice trembling: "Miss, why are you running?"
Adou remained silent.
Bai Song stood aside silently, watching Adou dressed in folk clothes, not looking like a lady at all, and setting up a stall on the street. It was expected that something happened to their family in the past six months.
"Adou, give me a chance to make amends. I know it was because of my appearance that you became what you are now."
Before choosing to deceive, Bai Song did not think about the consequences, but after returning to Jixian, he always felt a sense of guilt when he thought of the woman in front of him, so that for such a long time, Bai Song avoided Adou.
talk.
Now, with Adou appearing in front of him, Bai Song couldn't say anything to please him, so he could only choose to follow his heart and try his best to make up for it. At least, from now on, he would no longer choose to escape.
"Miss, please tell me, what happened? After the slave escaped, Master Bai took me in. Master Bai was very good to the slave, and he will definitely be very good to the young lady."
"No...it's nothing...I'm living a good life." Adou finally spoke, stood up slowly, and looked up at Bai Song, "Mr. Bai, I feel relieved to know that you are fine."
"What happened?" Bai Song continued to ask.
Adou shook his head: "Mr. Bai, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't ask anymore."
"If you don't tell me, I can still find out. You can leave. I'll come back to you after I find out what happened to you."
"Master Bai, why are you so persistent?"
"Because I feel guilty, I think it's selfish. Wanting to help you is just a way of comforting myself. So, at least give me a chance to make amends."
Adou looked at Bai Song and knew that even if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to get rid of this person.
