"Of course, I don't know what the punishment is for breaking into a private house in the middle of the night." Cheng Qingwen nodded and said with a smile.
"Lingguo's law states that anyone who breaks into a private house will be punished with a rod."
The young man's voice came from behind, and everyone quickly looked over and saw him walking over with a man and a woman.
Cheng Qingwen looked at the sudden appearance of the person and was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Then I will leave the person to you, sir. I hope you will not disappoint our mother and daughter."
Yuan Qi nodded slightly and agreed.
"Sir, please forgive me, I really came here accidentally." Song Daqiang saw the face of the person in front of him clearly and howled quickly.
"Azhu, bring the person to the pavilion chief."
When A Zhu heard the order, he responded and dragged the person out.
Aunt Wang didn't care about being angry and chased her out, crying and shouting all the way.
After the two left, the air suddenly solidified. Cheng Qingwen looked at the girl standing behind Atong, thinking that she must be the one hiding in the corner that day.
"This is Atong's sister, she just came here a few days ago." Yuanqi explained.
Cheng Qingwen came back to her senses and saw the girl slightly possessing her, and could only smile and nod.
"Why are you here suddenly, sir?"
"A Tong came to report that A Zhu has been away for a long time. We were afraid of something happening, so we came together to take a look."
Cheng Qinghan smiled softly and did not answer.
Motoqi stood there, swept the yard, looked at the wheat in front of him, took two quick steps, and observed it carefully for a long time.
"Your wheat is growing very well. It looks like it has a lot more than the others."
"Yes, I am worried about this matter." Cheng Qingwen walked over and said: "By the way, your attendant can lend me one, A Zhu will do."
When Yuan Qi heard this, he immediately remembered that before going out, Atong said that Cheng Qinghan and A Zhu had an affair.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the person in front of him: "Why do we need A-Zhu? Can't A-Tong do it?"
"A Tong has to accompany his sister and protect you. He is too busy." Although Cheng Qingwen felt that this was a bit wrong, she still said with a smile: "If A Zhu has other things to do, forget it."
"I will let him come when the harvest day comes." Yuanqi looked at the wheat and continued: "But, can Miss Cheng teach me how to make the wheat twice as rich as others?"
Cheng Qingwen was stunned, frowning slightly, looking embarrassed. You can't tell him that this is the seed of the 21st century.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you."
"That's not the case..." Cheng Qingwen sighed and whispered, "Maybe it's because I take good care of you."
Motoqi believed it and said seriously: "Next time you sow seeds, can I come and learn."
Cheng Qingwen nodded subconsciously and agreed.
After sending the person away, she breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, when Ah Zhu came to deliver medicine, he learned that Song Daqiang had been beaten twenty times with a cane for ten days and a half. He could not get out of bed.
The weather has been hot these days, so Cheng Qinghan stayed at home.
Widow Liu and Song Qiaoqiao would come over sometimes and do embroidery with Cheng Hua'er.
"Qiaoqiao is smart, she can master what I just taught the day before yesterday." Cheng Huaer took the flower blossoms embroidered by Song Qiaoqiao and praised her endlessly.
"It's a good thing that I have you, my daughter-in-law. Otherwise, in a year or two, she won't even be able to embroider a wedding dress, and her husband's family will laugh at her." Widow Liu said with a smile.
Cheng Hua'er pursed her lips and said nothing.
At night, after seeing the person away, he quickly handed the embroidery work to Cheng Qinghan.
"Aniang, I don't know how to do embroidery."
"Huan Huan, Aunt Liu reminded me that in my dynasty, girls made wedding dresses themselves. If you don't know how to embroider, how are you going to get married in two years?" Cheng Hua'er looked anxious: "This matter
It's all my fault. When you were a child, you studied for two days, but then you complained that your hands hurt, so I didn't let you study anymore. I thought you could buy it in the future, but who knew that now our family is completely destitute and we can't even raise your dowry.
"
"Auntie, it's useless for me to improvise now. You also said that the wedding dress can be bought in the future. Just because the family is living in poverty now, doesn't mean it will be the same in the future."
"But if you can't do embroidery, your husband's family will look down on you."
Cheng Qingwen rubbed his forehead: "Then I won't marry."
"Nonsense!"
Cheng Qingwen was frightened and said quickly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's harvest the wheat before we talk about anything else, okay?"
The girl looked at Cheng Hua'er and nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief. She had never even coaxed her mother like this.
In late June, the sun was getting stronger and stronger. Cheng Qinghan took his people to harvest wheat in his backyard early in the morning. It took him three days to harvest all the wheat.
Cheng Hua'er and Widow Liu, mother and daughter, have been drying wheat in the yard for the past few days.
"Auntie, we have to find time to go to town, buy some wheat, sell it, and buy a stone mill." Cheng Qingwen said as he put the dried wheat into a bag.
"Okay, then I'll go to the village chief's house tomorrow and ask if he can lend us the bullock cart."
Widow Liu hesitated when she heard this and said, "I'm afraid the village chief's family won't borrow it, and it's impossible for their mother-in-law to agree."
Cheng Qingwen remembered what the village chief had handled last time, and immediately said: "Mom, it's better not to go to the village chief's house to borrow it. I'll think of a way."
"Does Miss Cheng want to use an ox cart? Can a carriage work?" A Zhu came over with a pile of wheat and asked: "You can ask our adults. You don't have to go out recently. Your adults should lend it to you."
"Anyone who can transport things is fine." Cheng Qingwen responded, suddenly thinking of what Atong said last time, she fainted again.
A Zhu saw something wrong with her expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm wondering if Atong will misunderstand me again if I go this time."
When A Zhu heard this, he quickly said: "Did he say anything to you?"
Cheng Qinghan nodded.
"This...Actually, Atong's sister likes you, and the old lady also said that you would take her as your concubine." A Zhu looked hesitant and said hesitantly: "Atong's parents are dead, and this is the only relative left.
, everything will go according to her. He also asked the girl not to take it to heart.
"She is her concubine, what does that have to do with me?" Cheng Qingwen asked.
A Zhu just smiled and said nothing.
Cheng Qingwen didn't take it to heart. She looked at the almost six hundred kilograms of wheat. After thinking about it, she decided to pick up the carriage. First, she sold the two hundred kilograms of wheat, bought a carriage, and bought a stone mill by the way.
Grind the rest into flour.
She thought so, and after lunch, she went to Motoqi's house with a piece of bacon.
Before he even got closer, he saw Yuan Qi, dressed in green clothes, standing in the yard with his hands behind his hands, discussing something with the village chief.
She walked in and within two steps, she was stopped by Atong.
"Atong, don't be rude."
The conversation between the two stopped suddenly, and the village chief looked at her in surprise.
"Cheng Qinghan, why are you here? If you have anything to do, please tell me later."
She glanced at the arrogant man lightly and curled her lips: "I'm not looking for you."
The village chief laughed out loud: "You're not here to see me, are you here to see Mr. Yuan? Okay, okay, I know your family wants to take the wheat to the town to sell it, so we'll talk about borrowing the oxcart later."
"
Cheng Qingwen frowned, feeling that this man was quite noisy. He took two steps towards the young man and asked softly: "Can you lend me your carriage tomorrow?"
Yuan Qi nodded and responded: "I will ask A Zhu to see you off tomorrow."
"Okay." Cheng Qingwen nodded and handed over the meat in his hand: "Thank you."
Motoqi didn't take it, but pushed the meat back.
"If Miss Cheng really wants to thank you, there is only one suitable gift for you, which is to tell me how to make wheat grow abundantly."
Cheng Qingwen swallowed, thought for a while, put her hand into her sleeve, took a packet of wheat seeds from the system, and handed it to him.
"You can try growing it yourself."
Moan Qi knew it was a seed at a glance, and took it with a smile: "Thank you, girl."
Cheng Qingwen handed the meat over with a fake smile: "Since you got what you wanted, please accept this piece of meat as well."
Yuan Qi took the meat and said with a smile: "Miss Cheng, in a few days I will open a school here to specialize in studying for children in the village. Will you come too?"
Cheng Qingwen looked at his beautiful eyes and responded.
"Sir, village chief, let's have a sip of tea." The woman came from the back room holding a tea cup. She was slightly startled when she looked at the person in front of her: "Miss Cheng is here too."
Cheng Qingwen looked over and saw her with a delicate face and slim figure. She was wearing a green dress and standing there shyly.
Yuan Qi picked up the teacup and handed it to the person next to him with a smile: "Would you like to try the Yunwu tea brought from the capital?"
"Sir, this is for you." After the woman finished speaking, she knew she had made a mistake and said quickly: "Ling'er will make another drink right away."
Cheng Qingwen looked at Atong not far away and looked at her like an enemy, and immediately said: "No, I don't like drinking tea. It's getting late, I have to go home quickly to accompany my grandma."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left.
After walking a long way, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It was so dangerous that he was almost regarded as a thorn in the side of the two brothers and sisters.
Cheng Qingwen walked home quickly and told her mother the news. Mother and daughter put the dried wheat into bags overnight.
Early the next morning, I took the wheat and rode into the town on a carriage.
Cheng Qinghan sat outside and kept asking A Zhu how to ride a horse.
"What can you do if you learn these things? You don't have to drive a carriage."
"I plan to buy a carriage, so I don't have to trouble you anymore." Cheng Qinghan supported his head and said with a smile.
"This... you must be doing it because of Atong." A Zhu said, "My lord already punished him yesterday, and also issued an order for Ling'er to set off back to Beijing immediately."
"It's not because of them, it's mainly because of the inconvenience." Cheng Qingwen said very seriously: "Before I went to find Yuan Qi, I thought about buying a carriage."
"But a horse alone costs seven or eighty taels of silver, and even an oxcart costs seven or eighty taels of silver. Girl, it's better not to buy it yet."
Cheng Qingwan choked and responded faintly.
In about half an hour, we arrived at the place.
Cheng Qinghan carried the wheat and negotiated the price with the shop owner. Unexpectedly, he couldn't add a penny for a long time.
Finally, they sold two hundred kilograms to the boss for six cents per kilogram, and the group bought a stone mill here for two hundred cents. The boss finally gave them two taels of silver. This chapter has been completed!
