Kuai Chuan Teaches You To Be a Man

Wang Jinniang only later heard her elder sister talk about the cause and effect. The original words were: "I didn't take good care of him when I was pregnant, which caused him to suffer a lot from birth, and I have only one child, so it's inevitable that it will hurt a little bit more, I'm used to it. , but I can't do anything about it. Our family is here to collect debts, and you will be obedient in front of you, usually no one can stop him..."

The more she heard this, the more confused she became. Wang Jinniang leaned closer and asked, "What's in that bag? My nephew said it was his luggage."

"...What kind of luggage? One day, he had a dream in a trance. In the dream, someone was planting potatoes. That person was like a whole night. He saw it all night. The next day, he woke up and made it clear. Chu remembers that it was Master Tian who was teaching him how to work, and he insisted on learning from others, and he even asked Master to buy a piece of land."

"Those sacks he brought were filled with seed potatoes, and the stinky boy chose them one by one. Even if he went out to visit relatives, he couldn't delay his important business." He sighed and said, "I think we are sisters, and we have a very good relationship. As an aunt, you will never despise him, so let him come here to be ashamed, and go to another house. I really don't dare to let him come here."

After listening to this, Wang Jinniang laughed for a while, then calmed down and said, "As long as the young master of a big family always has some fun, I have heard a lot of absurd things in the county over the years, and the nephew is nothing. You said that your nephew has no interest in anything. It's rare that he wants to do something this time. Big sister, let him go. The loss is only a few bags of potatoes. "

Just imagine that the people have to live and the army has to fight, how can they not have food?

Of course, Wang Jinniang didn't really believe that her nephew could make a name for herself, she just comforted her. Thinking about not mentioning that the Qiao family has 200 acres of fertile land and a full 100 acres of dry land, what does it matter to him to waste a few acres?

After talking like this, the atmosphere became a little more relaxed, and Wang Jinniang said again: "I send letters to my eldest sister every year, asking you to come and stay for a while.

"In the past years, I couldn't let go of my son, how dare I leave home easily? He nodded in response to entering the county this time."

"My nephew is a little more cheerful, and he's still greeting me today. He's not as unreasonable as the eldest sister used to say."

Wang Zhenniang smiled and said that he has changed a lot recently. He used to seldom speak, but now he can say a few words every day, but he is just a little choked up. If he doesn't like what he says, just ignore him.

"Look at what you said, eldest sister, can I still care about my nephew? I feel bad that he is too late. As an aunt, I know exactly what this child has suffered and suffered."

Wang Zhenniang cared about her again. After hearing Jinniang say that everything was fine, and seeing that she looked really good, she felt relieved and turned to ask Yunniang——

Speaking of this, it is inevitable to sigh.

Among the three sisters, Zhenniang is married to a country landlord, and the family has more land and more food, and lives happily. Jin Niang, not to mention the days when her man was a county captain. Only Yun Niang is not bad. The man is born with good looks and no bad habits, but he is not lucky enough.

He wanted to take the imperial examination, but he failed to pass the examination several times.

"I heard from the master that Mr. Cao's brother-in-law might be coming to the county recently. He wondered if there was a chance for the second brother-in-law to get acquainted with him. That person is Mr. Fu Xue."

Because she is the daughter of a scholar, even if she lives in the country for a long time, Wang Zhenniang understands the status of the school among scholars. ?"

Wang Jinniang nodded, it should be, paused for a moment, and then said: "Master Cao and his wife Fang have a son named Cao Yaozu. This person has both good looks and excellent intelligence. He has not yet reached the crown and already has the reputation of being a scholar. Some time ago, my wife and I were young. Xu, I heard that her sister married Mr. Yu, who was well-known in Linzhou University. Among the students taught by Mr. Yu, there were not many students, and there were not no scholars. Mrs. Cao wanted to ask him to mention her beloved son. I don't know why I borrowed a book to repair the book and went to Linzhou Mansion, and I have been cleaning up the wing these days, so there should be guests."

Wang Zhenniang praised: "If you can grasp it, it is a good opportunity."

The two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and the chat is endless. What is Qiao Yue doing at this time? He is packing up the seed potatoes that he has carefully selected.

It is also a bad time to come. If you come here when the potatoes are harvested in the field, there is more space to choose seed potatoes, but because the Qiao family is the landlord, it is not difficult to find a batch of high-quality potatoes. He picked out a few large sacks that had no holes, no rot, no deformity, no bumps. He asked Uncle A Shou to carefully pack the bags and put them on an ox cart. He also reminded him several times on the way to the county, saying that he should not be in a hurry and leave. Be steady.

Potatoes are slow to germinate, and it needs to soak the seeds for germination. This work can be done half a month to a month in advance. It stands to reason that Qiao Yue only needs to prepare the materials to ensure that there is enough diluted solution to soak the potato pieces in time, but he does not Dare to directly pile the potatoes selected for seeding at home, fearing that the quality of potatoes that go out for a few days and then go back for seeding will plummet...

It is a technical task to let the potatoes survive the winter smoothly. It is important to place them, and they must be turned to prevent water loss, rot, and early germination. Only by doing the best in all aspects can increase production under limited conditions.

Just talking about potato selection and breeding, you may not be able to write it down on a few pages. Farming is based on experience for the old farmers. Their habits and methods are very primitive and simple. Qiao Yuezao also accepted it at the National Agricultural University After being trained professionally, he can say that he treats potatoes as his ancestors. Hearing him talk about a series of servants sent by Wanfu to help him was very dizzy.

They were all doubting life, thinking that they had been away from the country for too long? Is there so much emphasis on farming now?

That night, the two servants slept on the Datong bunk in the lower house and whispered, "Isn't it a potato? My family has planted it, and I even helped my father. I don't remember it being so troublesome."

"Whether it's a potato or a sweet potato, it's tough and easy to support. If you leave enough seed piles, you'll be buried when you see them, so you don't need to worry about it. I used to have three acres of dry land in my family. The old-fashioned way of saying that the two potatoes are naturally harvested is good, and they don't eat much fat."

After the boy muttered, he pointed out his index finger and pointed his forehead, saying that Young Master Biao was afraid that something was not right here.

"You even arranged for Young Master Biao! Even if you are from the countryside, you are still the master. How can you argue that we are servants?"

"...You just said you've seen someone who carried a few bags of potatoes to the relative's house? Young Master Biao's eyes were full of potatoes, so he didn't pack anything else. In the afternoon, our Young Master went to see him and gave him a ride. Handle, what do you think it's like to let Mrs. and Mrs. know?"

"Whatever he feels, the young master is happy, and the young master is happy, so just shut up and be careful of getting into trouble."

The young master in the lower class is the son Wang Jinniang gave to Wan Rong. The older one is ten years old and the younger one is six or seven years old. The brothers heard that their cousin came to be a guest, and when they touched the guest house, they wanted to see him. They saw that Qiao Yue was serving potatoes, and they also stretched out their fat claws to help, but they were stopped.

In order to settle the two overly lively cousins ​​and let them take back their sinful hand towards the potato, Qiao Yue made a simple diagram and made several sets of toys to fool them.

Similar to the Luban lock, it takes a lot of effort to disassemble if you don't know how to play, and it takes even more effort to put it together after disassembling. This kind of educational toy will be on the streets for hundreds of years, but it is very fresh here. At least the two fat boys were stunned. They didn't care what their cousin was doing, and they scratched their ears and cheeks at the pieces of wood for half a day.

Looking at the two fools who were shaken, and then looking at the precious potato seeds that were preserved, the more Qiao was proud.

The little cousin who was easily dismissed by Lu Bansuo also said that he was really smart, and he was definitely smarter than Cao Yaozu, whom his father always talked about! Cao Yaozu would not play this!

After he finished speaking, he would inevitably doubt his life. He saw that the simplest things in his hands had not yet been put together, and on the other side, the minions under the leadership of his cousin had already made more difficult ones, and there were several sets in front of them.

"Unfortunately, my cousin is not in good health. My mother said that he takes medicine every day, and he can't even go to school."

Six or seven-year-old Xiaopangdun was seriously feeling sorry for Qiao Yue. Before he could finish feeling distressed, he heard his brother say, "What's the point of studying? It's better to play this fun! Next time my mother takes us to Jinfu, I'll take these Go and show Jin Yuanbao."

The gold ingot in Pangdun's mouth is the youngest son of the magistrate of this county. He is fatter than anyone else, and has a heavy gold collar around his neck. He is also a favored master.

Just after he finished speaking, Fatty shook his head again——

"Forget it, Jin Yuanbao likes to steal other people's things, and my mother wants us to let him."

"Yes, yes, you can't take it to Jinfu, don't show it to Jin Yuanbao."

...

The county magistrate's mansion is rare to be so lively. Although the servants under him are more or less despised by Qiao Yue, they feel that he is a sick child, and his family is only a country landlord. He didn't even know how to manage up and down, and even if he didn't manage, he didn't even give Xiao En or Xiao Hui.

Just such a person, he actually likes the wife and the two young masters very much. They like it, and the master naturally likes it. The master also said that he would take him to meet the handsome men of this county.

Tomorrow county school is off for ten days, and the county chief is at home. He is one or two years older than Qiao Yue, so he is suitable as a friend.

Qiao Yue refused to make friends with Cao Yaozu, and he estimated that the other party also refused... He did not despise Cao Yaozu's inferior character, and was ready to wait for the other party to climb up to a high place with all his strength and then drag him down alive. As for Cao Yaozu, with that utilitarian style, it is strange that he is the son of a rural landlord.

Even if they haven't met face to face, Qiao Yue can imagine the scene where the two of them are tired of looking at each other. Is Xia Xia here yet?

The day after, Qiao Yue visited Cao’s house with his uncle Wan Rong. Mr. Cao knew about this, and when he saw Qiao Yue, he secretly looked at it. "My brother came just right. I got a few pots of rare chrysanthemums in my house. They are blooming just right these days. Please go and have a look."

Some words were not mentioned by the host, and it was inconvenient for the guests to mention them. Wan Rong had to follow the trend, let Qiao Yue follow him, and let him have a look at the chrysanthemums raised by the county magistrate.

Master Cao and Wan Rong walked ahead, and Qiao fell behind. The three of them went to Juyuan, but they collided with another pedestrian on the way.

Fang Shi was leading his niece, who had entered the mansion yesterday, to the garden, along with several concubines from the mansion. They were watching and playing around, joking with each other, and suddenly bumped into a guest who was passing by and was going to admire the chrysanthemum. Several girls quickly avoided behind Fang Shi, turned slightly sideways, and bowed their knees. Mrs. Fang also greeted the master, and then turned to greet Wan Rong. Finally, her eyes fell on Qiao Yue and asked, "Who is this?"

"This is nephew Qiao, brother Wan's brother-in-law."

Wanrong's brother-in-law, a rich man in the countryside, a poor scholar who has tried many times, no matter who the son of the family is, Fang shi looks down on him. She smiled and asked where did the master lead the guests? Do you need to prepare tea and snacks?

Master Cao said no, and was about to leave again, but found that Qiao Yue was staring at a certain place, and he looked at it, and saw that he was looking at his niece.

The niece really stood out, she was wearing a light-colored Luo skirt today, her skin was like snow, and she was radiant.

Qiao Yue's straightforward eyes made Master Cao unhappy, but Wan Rong coughed softly and said, "Let's go."

This stinky boy is dumbfounded when he sees a girl.

Qiao Yue blinked, wanting to take another look at his wife's beautiful appearance with her hair in a bun and a robe, and remembering that this is ancient times, to restrain herself, she turned her eyes away and followed Wanrong to the Juyuan.

After walking a few steps, he still couldn't hold back, and looked back again, his eyes collided with Yu Xia.

In different worlds, the two of them will change, but there is a general appearance, and they can be recognized at a glance. To say that Yu Xia's face looks best when she is a vase in the entertainment industry, but this world is not bad, the antique dress suits her temperament very well, and she looks different from the other young ladies in this house.

You don't need a lot of words to praise her, you can notice her when you look left and right, and everyone else is the background.

Qiao Yue felt that his heart was beating thumping, and his head was a little muddy. He turned around and rushed two steps, catching up with his uncle Wanrong, thinking that this ancient times is also very sad, and if you want to meet someone, you have to talk to her. not easy.

...

Yu Xia is a top student in the Chinese department. She has read many classical novels and can taste cultural accomplishments with just a few gestures. Even if she doesn't know the plot, she understands the rules better than Qiao.

Xinzhi didn't have a chance to speak at this moment, she just glanced at it calmly, and stood behind her aunt. She felt that a bunch of eyes fell on her, and after a while, the people next to her also looked at her in a playful manner. Yu Xia's face was hot, but she calmed down for a moment, thinking that Ah Yue seemed a little weak, and her heart ached.

Yu Xia glanced at his back, and Qiao Yue turned his head at this moment, and the two of them met face to face.

At this time, the elder sisters and sisters in the house also whispered, and someone said strangely: "I never heard of such a son before, who is he?"

"Whoever he is, he is so rude, staring straight at his cousin."

"Is this fool falling in love with his cousin at first sight?"

They were joking, but Mrs. Fang pulled her face down. Her eyes looked like knives had been slashed from several prostitutes: "You dare to say anything, do you want shame in the girl's family?"

Just now, they were still teasing, and the atmosphere became stiff when they turned around. They didn't dare to oppose their niece, so they had to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. Mrs. Fang saw them as an eyesore, and waved them back to their own courtyard, wanting to say a few words to their niece alone.

"Your mother went early, and your father only thought about academic articles and didn't read for you. Your aunt is anxious. But no matter how anxious you are, you can't say that someone just came and plucked the delicate flowers from our family. You There are few people I see, even if I have a seven orifices and an exquisite heart, it is easy to be deceived, but I must not take it lightly..." Fang Shi looked like a good aunt who was worried about her niece, her face was full of worry , and said, "My son is so good, even if he lost his mother since childhood, he should be a good son with a bright future. No matter what, he has to be stronger than Yaozu."

After Fang Shi finished speaking, he waited for Yu Xia to take over.

I thought that Yu Xia would follow her to brag about Cao Yaozu, saying that even in Fucheng, how many would be better than his cousin? Even if there is, how can people look at her who lost her mother since childhood?

Generally speaking, how should I compliment? Yu Xia didn't. She held Mrs. Fang's hand and said, "My aunt loves me, I understand, but I don't care much about my future husband-in-law's future. Entering the high gate mansion, I'm so stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it, maybe I'll be embarrassed."

She cut off the words first, then turned around and said, "Cousin is so good, in the future, I will be named on the Golden List, White Horse Parade on the Street, and how many noble ladies are in the imperial city. You will be able to pick your fancy at that time, me... I Just waiting for the light of my aunt to live a relaxing life."

Although she didn't hear what she wanted to hear, these few sentences were quite pleasing. Mrs. Fang's heart was ironed, and a smile spread all over her face. She whispered in her niece's ear, "My aunt didn't think about those noble girls, so she scorned me. If you are so wise and heart-warming, if you can get married with our Yaozu, then I really have nothing else to ask for.”

"Auntie, don't make fun of me, it's embarrassing to go on."

The atmosphere seemed to be lively, but in fact, you came to me for several rounds, and Mrs. Fang made it clear. Even if Yu Xia gave a shy look, she could go to the next step, but she would not give it. He also turned around and asked, who were the two people who had been with his uncle before.

In Fang Shi's opinion, the gap between the son of a country landlord or a poor scholar and Cao Yaozu was too great. She had no intention of taking precautions, so she named Wan Rong's identity and said that the boy was Wan Rong's nephew. As for which family, it was hard to say. Haven't seen it before.

Yu Xia wanted to ask another question, but Fang Shi advised her not to care about these things, they were not important people.
