Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

When the newlyweds served tea, the happy event was completely over. On the third day of their wedding, the two newlyweds went home with their things, and the Xu family breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhiming and his wife remembered what happened at the restaurant, packed up, and returned to the county. Wencheng couldn't go back to the county with them yet, and the new house wouldn't be available for a hundred days. As for Jingwan and Jingxian, the old lady said she was reluctant to let them live at home. Zhiming would never disobey his parents' wishes, and he felt reassured that his daughter was at home, so the two girls stayed in town.

Zixuan has gone home long ago, and he has to work hard for next year's spring. Now that Jingwan and Jingxian's marriage is almost settled, the husbands of the sisters are all extraordinary, so we can't let Jinghan be too much worse than them, right? Although Jinghan doesn't care about this at all, as a man, if he can't let go and fight, he will really be a husband in vain.

On this point, Zixuan and Pengcheng had the same idea. The two had secretly talked about it and had completely unanimous opinions. She is also the daughter of the Xu family, so she can't be too far behind, right? The two brothers-in-law don't know Mingyu's identity yet. If they knew, they would probably be very powerless. No matter how hard they fight, will any royal family be more powerful?

Fortunately, the two of them didn't know about it, so they worked hard to read and do homework at home, just to be named on next year's gold list.

Mingyu is in love with Jingxian, and of course he doesn't want to go back too early. No one in Xu's family will chase him away anyway. So this guy stayed there. Reading and practicing calligraphy and discussing homework with Wenxuan and Wenchang every day benefited Wenchang and the others a lot.

Finally, after her two brothers were busy with their marriage affairs, Jinghan finally remembered that she wanted to make a down jacket. The down that I have saved now is enough to make a hundred or so clothes. Since there is nothing much to do in the winter, the three sisters Jinghan and the girls at home do sewing together.

Guren and the others were not in the town, but were looking at the mushrooms on the mountain. Nowadays, mushrooms in winter are a big source of income. Even the county town buys mushrooms from the Xu family. Jinghan has been struggling with the marriage of these girls. Speaking of which, there are now four servants in the family. It is feasible for these girls to digest it internally, but Jinghan is afraid that these families will eventually become relatives, and then they will not be able to work for the Xu family sincerely. But Jinghan really couldn't bear to let them all get married, so she was so entangled.

Later, Jinghan also figured out that as long as these girls could marry into good families, she didn't think about anything else. If they are willing to help the Xu family in the future, that would be better. If they are not willing, they can just buy some people back. As long as these people who leave the Xu family can live a good life, that's fine.

There are only three sisters in the family. At most, with the two Ziwei sisters, the manpower is naturally not enough. It's already the winter months. If we don't get it out quickly, I'm afraid we won't be able to use it this winter. So later Jinghan decided to gather some girls and wives from the village to do it together.

Of course, not all of it was left to them. Jinghan found a few people to cut the material according to the pattern, and then sent it to everyone to sew the lining and surface separately, and finally brought it back to Jinghan and her sisters for final processing. In this way, firstly, it can save labor, and secondly, it can ensure that the production process will not be known for the time being.

After working for more than ten days, everyone finally made 60 down jackets, and Jinghan hurriedly sent them to Yue Siyuan. Yue Siyuan looked at it and was full of admiration, "Yes, the workmanship is very good, much better than the ones you made. Last year I wore that down jacket to go out for social events, etc., and people asked when they saw it, so I said there would be one this year. Before Some people have asked me a few days ago, why hasn’t this down jacket come out yet? It’s better this time, and they should be satisfied.”

Of the sixty down jackets, forty are for women and twenty are for men. Because Jinghan feels that women should always be missing one piece of clothing. No matter how expensive the clothing is, as long as a woman likes it, she will find a way to buy it back.

Regarding the price of the clothes, Jinghan and Yue Siyuan discussed it and felt that the current output was too small and they should go the high-end route, so they set the price between fifty taels and eighty taels. For this price, it is very scary. The average person's annual expenditure is not enough to buy a piece of clothing.

"Uncle Yue, can we sell it so expensively?" Jinghan thought it was a bit expensive.

"Jinghan, I plan to get these for us to sell in Zhoucheng. There are many rich people there. You only have sixty pieces. I'm afraid there won't be enough to grab them. Okay, let's press this Let's share the profit. I'll give you forty taels for each item at least. If the selling price exceeds sixty taels, we'll share the remaining profit equally. What do you think?" Yue Siyuan has already started promoting it in Zhoucheng. , many people are waiting now, so there is no fear of not being able to sell.

"Uncle Yue, forty taels is already a lot. You don't need to share the profit with me. I can make another twenty or so at home. You can sell these first. If they are good, I will send those to you. "Jinghan is not that greedy person. Forty taels is already a lot. This piece of clothing, including the workmanship and materials, only costs ten taels of silver. This still includes the cost of the big hair collar. A piece of clothing is worth thirty taels. What kind of business can make so much money?

Yue Siyuan sent someone to quickly deliver the sixty pieces of clothing to Zhoucheng. Sure enough, all sixty pieces of clothing were sold out in less than ten days. Fortunately, Jinghan and the others have rushed out a second batch of nearly thirty pieces. It is estimated that this batch will be sold out, so that’s about it. After all, it is already the twelfth lunar month, and the weather will gradually become warmer after the New Year.

When Zhiming returned to the county, he replied to Mr. Han and asked Mr. Han to formally find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. When Mr. Han heard this, he was naturally very happy. He found the best matchmaker from the county to come to the Xu family and finally settled Jingwan's marriage. The two sides made an appointment and got engaged on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In this way, Jingwan's marriage was officially a foregone conclusion. On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mr. Han accompanied Qi Yunfei and brought many betrothal gifts. The matchmaker exchanged the marriage certificates of both parties, wrote the marriage certificate, and the marriage was settled.

Jingwan had a happy smile on her face, but she was stunned by Qi Yunfei. Such a gentle woman is the wife of his dreams.

It is inevitable that the two parties will discuss the wedding date. Now the old man and the old lady are in a dilemma. Jinghan is not married yet, so Jingwan can't get over it. The old couple looked at each other, not knowing when to set the wedding date.

It was Mr. Han who finally made the decision to marry Jinghan together. It was a good story that the two sisters got married at the same time.

The old man thought about it and thought it would work. Anyway, Wenhan and Wencheng both got married at the same time, so it's okay for Jinghan and Jingwan to get married together.

Since Zixuan had to take the exam, Mr. Han set the wedding date on the sixth day of April next year based on the date of Chunwei. In this case, Zixuan and the others will be back in time to get married after taking the exam.

It happened that the Lin family was also here. When the Xing family heard about this date, they thought it was very good. Everyone decided on the spot that the wedding date would be the sixth day of April. The wedding date was set, and Zixuan was relieved.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, people from the capital wanted to pick Mingyu away. He had been here for more than a month. Can the capital not be in a hurry? Mingyu was still a little reluctant to let go of Jingxian, but he knew that he had to go back to take care of his and Jingxian's affairs, so he had to go back to the capital, so he reluctantly left the Xu family.

The marriages of the girls in the family have been settled, and the old man and the old lady feel relieved. The remaining Wenxuan and Wenchang are still young, so there is no need to worry for a while.

The next step is to prepare for the New Year. This year, the family has married two new wives. In addition, it is also the last New Year that Jinghan and the others will spend at home, so the old man told them to buy New Year's goods properly and have a prosperous New Year.

Yue Siyuan gave all the money from selling the down jackets, and as originally agreed, gave Jinghan fifty taels for each piece. The later down jackets were sold for eighty or ninety taels. Yue Siyuan did not keep the money for himself, but gave it to Jinghan. There were a total of eighty-six pieces of clothing. In addition to the capital, this time there was more than three thousand taels left.

The old lady didn't ask for a penny of this money, and let the three girls keep it as a private house. So the three sisters each divided a thousand taels, and the rest was given to Ziwei and Zisu.

The two Ziwei sisters suddenly got four hundred taels of silver. This time they were so beautiful that they jumped for joy. Ziwei wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Jinghan, "You have been busy these days, so this is nothing. In the future, our family will continue to do these things, and we may get married by then. Why don't you two take the lead? It will be of great benefit to you both."

"My maid, thank Second Young Lady for the reward. Second Young Lady, don't worry, we two sisters will definitely do our best." Ziwei quickly expressed her position.

It was an eye-opener for Wenhan and Wencheng's wife that a few girls could earn so much money just by messing around. Yuzhen from the Sun family is better off, and her family is also in business, so they know the profits are huge. But Zheng Xiuyun's father was a teacher, and his family was just getting by. How had he ever seen so much money? The betrothal gift given by the Xu family was already quite large, but I didn't expect that a few sisters-in-law would get so much if they just made some random gifts.

"Husband, don't the money earned by the second sister and the others need to be handed over to the family?" Xiuyun asked Wenhan in the evening.

Wenhan knew what was going on at his wife's home, so he hugged his wife and talked about the past events of the Xu family. Xiuyun was relieved when she realized that a large part of the reason why her family was like this was Jinghan's idea. "No wonder my grandparents love the second sister so much. It turns out to be like this. Speaking of which, the second sister is really a capable person. I have to get along well with the second sister in the future. If the second sister comes up with an idea one day, maybe I can also earn some money from it," Xiuyun said with a smile.

"It would be great to think so. I have always felt ashamed of Jinghan. She has been taking care of everything at home all these years. On the contrary, I have been studying all year round and can't take care of the family at all. Xiuyun, I know you are a well-educated person. My good woman, you will be responsible for half of this family for me from now on. Learn more from Jinghan, you will learn a lot," Wenhan said, hugging his wife.

Um, I forgot the time when I coded, hehehe, dear friends, please forgive me.
