However, on second thought. Only a good man will be snatched away. Ever since Zhu Junyang restrained his inner demons, his popularity and charm have surged. Especially in the past two years, the emperor has entrusted him with important tasks, and even handed over the Xishan camp to him for training and management, as well as the firearms camp. The only difference is that he has not handed over to the general manager Su, and the position of commander in the future will also belong to him.
At only twenty years old, relying on his own strength, he is a third-rank official, and his extraordinary ability will definitely limit his future. Zhu Junyang became the representative of the golden bachelor and the diamond king in Beijing. How many people asked Concubine Jing to find out where the Concubine Zhengfei of Yangjun belonged.
Recently, Concubine Jing, who loves to be clean, has been very annoying! It stands to reason that the son is twenty years old, and it is indeed time to marry a wife and have children. Even though the choice of the main concubine has not yet been determined, the position of the side concubine and concubine has long been eyeing.
All of a sudden, there were more guests in the inner courtyard of Prince Jing's mansion, and they were all trying to inquire about the candidate for her daughter-in-law. Hearing from her, King Yang already has a girl he likes, and they all turned to ask her about the side concubine's wishes. When these wives came, they were always accompanied by gorgeous little girls, and they even praised their daughters as flowers. The little girl was also very courteous, and said everything with Princess Jing in her arms. Tired of listening!
Especially what annoyed Princess Jing was her concubine sister. When she was in her boudoir, her relationship was not very good. As the daughter of a concubine, the concubine has always been showing off her might in front of her, relying on her favor in front of her father. If it wasn't for the fact that she and Prince Jing hadn't been in love with each other, and their love was stronger than gold, she might have been planned by this concubine sister to succeed, and the marriage would have been snatched away!
Now, feeling that her sister-in-law is useful, she has the cheek to come forward again. She, Jiang Meijuan, holds a grudge! She didn't let the prince intervene in her brother-in-law's errand, and took a fifth-rank job in Beijing. hum! She didn't make trouble, she was considered broad-minded! !
She, a concubine, actually wants to plot the marriage of her youngest son! Do her big head dream! ! Although the girl Ling'er has excellent looks, temperament, and character (?), she also likes it when she looks at it. But just because this girl has an omnipotent old lady, she will not agree to this marriage! !
However, looking at Yang'er's attitude towards his little cousin, she is not as repulsive as she is towards other ladies, at least she can say a few words when they meet. Uh... In fact, most of the time, Ling'er is the girl who is talking and Yang'er is listening. Judging from the expression, although serious but not too repulsive. This shows that in the heart of the son, this little cousin is still different.
However, Princess Jing is not in a hurry! Don't say that the son already has someone in his heart, even if he doesn't, based on what she knows about him, Yang'er may not be able to take a fancy to that girl Wu Junling. From the fact that he took an errand in Xishan Daying, he returned home irregularly, and every time he took a detour to go on a date with the little grass girl before returning, it was enough to see that his son had no intentions for Ling'er.
That girl Ling'er is as thick-skinned as her mother. Yang'er obviously hinted at it very clearly, as if she couldn't understand or understand, who was she pretending to be silly and sweet? Back then, her concubine sister used this trick to get close to the prince! !
no! She had to remind her son when she had time, lest her concubine sister do harm to that girl Wu Junling and force her son to marry her! !
Concubine Jing was so annoyed by Jiang Meiyun's mother and daughter that she couldn't do anything, so she took advantage of Prince Jing's errand to go out to work, and her son stayed in the Xishan Camp 28 days a month, so the maids and women cleaned up the things and kept silent. He left the capital without a sound, and went straight to the Xishan Courtyard in Dongshan Village.
In midsummer, the other courtyard is surrounded by green trees, backed by mountains and facing the sea, it is a good summer resort. She is also thinking about the famous flowers in the mysterious valley, and wants to add a few rare plants that can calm people to her flower room!
Therefore, when Jiang Meiyun's mother and daughter visited again, they didn't even enter the door. The servants of Prince Jing's mansion replied: "The concubine has gone out to escape the summer heat, and the masters are not at home, so I won't entertain the two distinguished guests!"
Jiang Meiyun was so angry that she almost tore up the veil: "Good job Jiang Meijuan!! Shame on you! If it wasn't for my precious daughter, who would rush to hold you? You really think you are a dish Already!!"
"Mother, be careful!!" Wu Junling lifted the curtain of the carriage, peeked out, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief. From her point of view, her mother really did more than fail. Obviously begging my aunt for something, but always putting on airs, with a look of refusing to bow her head.
Don't even think about it, what is the comparison between her and her aunt? When she was in her boudoir, a concubine daughter, a concubine daughter, a smart person would choose to befriend the concubine sister instead of trying to trample her down because of being favored. He also tried to rob someone's husband and son-in-law. If she were Prince Jing, she would choose a gentle and generous concubine daughter instead of a competitive concubine sister, okay
There is also father's errand, but if mother lowers her status a little and begs her aunt, she won't be able to enter the current Qingshui yamen and take a job. There are also my own affairs. If there is no mother to intervene, maybe my aunt will look up to me... Alas, the matter between her and her cousin seems to be going on for a long time. She will definitely not be like a brainless mother. belongs to her!
Wu Junling turned her gaze to the outside of the carriage. Through the window, she saw a petite figure in an apricot-yellow flag dress and riding a red horse, slowly passing by her family's carriage. Suddenly, a simple and honest voice sounded from the crowd: "Master Yu, thank you for planting high-yield corn. Our family has three acres of land to support a dozen people. In spring, we planted corn and harvested more than 4,000 catties." Food, the public rations that were handed over, and there are more than 3,000 jin of surplus food. This is enough for our family to eat for a whole year! Thank you for making us no longer hungry!"
Last year, corn seeds were sold to farmers in the suburbs of Beijing. This spring, many families can't wait to plant corn. The harvest is more than 1,000 catties, and every family lives with surplus food.
There are many people in the suburbs of Beijing on the side of the street, and they all echoed the words:
"Yes, yes! Don't panic if you have surplus food at home, thanks to Lord Yu!"
"Master Yu's merits and virtues are comparable to a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!!"
"Master Yu, this is an egg laid by our domestic chicken. Don't be disgusted. On behalf of the whole family, I thank you!!"
"Master Yu, these are the apricots grown in our yard, please take them and taste them."
"This is the vegetable we grow..."
Someone interrupted him: "The vegetables grown by Mrs. Yu are much better in appearance and taste than yours. The rich people and officials in Beijing all eat the vegetables grown by her. There is no need for you to send them. ?”
"Didn't I just want to thank Mr. Yu and express my heart!"
A voice as clear as a clear stream quieted the noisy atmosphere immediately: "Folks, I appreciate your kindness! It is my duty to cultivate high-yielding crops. Thanks and praise from everyone, I, Xiaocao, I’m really ashamed! With everyone’s support, I will continue to work hard to grow more high-yielding crops!”
As soon as the voice fell, the voices of thanks, praise, and discussion were endless. Among the many voices, a young voice seemed particularly abrupt: "Master Yu, I heard that last year's winter wheat harvest was bumper, and the yield was nearly three times higher than that of ordinary wheat. I don't know if the high-yield winter wheat this autumn will Selling to ordinary people?"
Yu Xiaocao looked at the patched young man dressed as a typical poor farmer, smiled slightly, and said, "Winter wheat seeds will naturally be sold to the people in the suburbs of Beijing. However, anyone who buys seeds from the yamen will harvest them in the next spring Wheat, the imperial court will send people to buy it. It can only be sold to the imperial court, private trading is not allowed. The price is ten cents per catty. If there is any violation, the seeds of various high-yielding crops will not be sold to him and his entire village in the future!"
That is to say, the continuous sitting system is adopted. If a family in a village wants to sell high-yield winter wheat seeds at a high price for personal gain, then the whole village will be blacklisted. In this way, every family is stared at by the villagers of the whole village, trying to play tricks under their noses, it is even more difficult!
In fact, this condition is not harsh. The yield of one mu of winter wheat is six to seven hundred catties, sold for ten cents per catty, and one mu of land can earn six to seven taels of silver. A grown man may not be able to earn so much money in a year if he does odd jobs outside for a long time.
The wheat seeds harvested this spring can supply 100,000 mu of farmland in addition to the 100,000 mu of land of the newly established combined farm. The villages near the outskirts of Beijing have benefits! After hearing this, the people spread word of mouth, and the news quickly spread throughout the suburbs of Beijing.
"Ling'er, what are you looking at? So focused?" Jiang Meiyun glanced outside, only seeing the back of a girl riding a red horse.
"Mother, have you heard of Yu Xiaocao?" Wu Junling's complexion was gloomy, the handkerchief in his hand was tightly squeezed, and his bright eyes were clouded.
Jiang Meiyun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Yu Xiaocao? This name is quite unfamiliar? Why did you mention her suddenly? What's your intention?"
Seeing the slender figure disappearing into the street, Wu Junling put down the car curtain, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "Mother, you haven't heard of Yu Xiaocao, the only female adult in the court, have you?"
"Oh... you mean that girl who was valued by the emperor with a little farming ability, and became a sixth-rank official in the household department to manage the farmland? Sigh! I don't know what the emperor thinks, a farmer in the countryside Girl, you're also appointed as an official?" Jiang Meiyun thought that her husband had been working hard for more than ten years, and only found a fifth-rank idle job when he returned to Beijing. A minor peasant girl, but only two grades below her husband. Why
Wu Junling looked at his mother helplessly, and said pleadingly: "Mother, we are not in that small place in Huai'an, but at the feet of the emperor. Can you use your brains when you speak? The emperor means that it is the emperor. I mean, how could it be you and me complaining? Please, if you can’t help my father and daughter, don’t bring trouble on us, okay?”
