Kuai Chuan Teaches You To Be a Man

Yu Zi was filial for a while, so he held back a letter of refusal that was elegant and elegant, and after sending it out, he also said with his daughter Yu Xia with emotion: "Just be a young man and be so frivolous, you will know how to restrain yourself, never thought that Cao Yaozu had such a heart. There are far more students than the students, if it wasn't for my son's agility, I would have called him to be embarrassed for my father."

Yu Xia poured hot tea and brought it to Yu Zixiao's hand, and said with relief, "Father calm down, don't get angry with someone who doesn't matter."

"Cao Yaozu seems to have a gentle and respectful appearance, but in fact he has the heart of a tiger and a wolf. He is planning a marriage for his economic career. Where is your aunt? You and your mother are still sisters, and she knows what Cao Yaozu thinks and plans. I didn’t teach my son well; for being a relative, I lost my conscience, and it was really immoral…”

The scholar became angry, and opened his mouth in a set manner. Seeing that he was in a hurry, his cheeks flushed, and Yu Xia was persuaded again. Yu Zixiao asked her daughter, "My son, are you angry?"

Yu Xia shook her head.

"If I trusted my aunt, in exchange for her various calculations, I would be **** off. But that's not the case. When I first entered the mansion, I felt weird, so I took precautions, but later these things were not too unexpected. Aunt Yu, my cousin is My son, I am a niece, of course I can count on my niece for my son."

Yu Zixiao did not agree, "A child has done something wrong, a parent should teach him to correct him, one can't do justice for a small profit, and Fang Shi's greed is so greedy that she killed Cao Yaozu. This son has talent and can become a great weapon, I'm afraid He gave up the Dao and did not follow the deviant way, once he develops his temperament, he is afraid that it will be too late if he wants to change it in the future.”

"Father, you say so much, and my cousin can't hear you."

Yu Zixiao let out a long sigh and said no more. He thought that the Cao family had to go the wrong way, so he couldn't persuade him, so he had to make a clear distinction between the borders of Chu and Han, so that there would be fewer exchanges in the future.

Cao's servant was in a hurry, but within a few days, he sent the rejection letter to Fang. Thinking of his niece who deliberately made things difficult for Yaozu, now that his brother-in-law didn't go down the steps, he had to pretend to decline one round. It's decent to have a daughter in a family, and it's decent enough to make other families begging for marriage in every possible way.

Fang Shi was sullen and had no appetite for a table full of meals, so he took only two bites to make people withdraw.

Later, after discussing with the master, she decided to revise another book according to Yu Zixiao's wishes. This letter is not as euphemistic as before, it is obviously to discuss the marriage of children.

Ten days later, Linzhou replied again, but Yu Zixiao still should not.

Because of this reply, Mrs. Fang smashed the broken pieces of porcelain on the floor and heard the sound, venting his anger. He found Mr. Cao again, saying that the Yu family was so ignorant of praise, and she didn't want this daughter-in-law who was full of arrogance and cleanliness. , I don't want to worry about it anymore, I just don't know what my son is thinking.

Fang Shi secretly thought, the girl should have given birth to a vixen, right? How could Yaozu not give up on her?

She was still thinking about it, Master Cao said: "I have written two letters, which means that you really want to ask for a kiss, and it is not appropriate to give up in this place, and you have to let Yaozu go. Linzhou, go see Yu Zixiao in person. If you can see this trip, you won't have to worry about it after that."

Fang Shi was reluctant to push his son to suffer grievances. Cao Yaozu and his father were of one mind and felt that they should go. Giving up so easily always seems dishonest.

A few days later, he set off for Linzhou. This trip made an embarrassing note on his life history, and he was still ashamed to think about it years later.

Cao Yaozu personally went to the door to have a long talk with Yu Zixiao. At first, it was pleasant to talk about academic articles. Until Cao Yaozu proposed that he wanted to marry his cousin, he promised that he would love and protect his treasures and hope that his uncle would be fulfilled.

Yu Zixiao couldn't make it.

"If you really want to marry my daughter, you should treat it with sincerity and watch your nephew's behavior. I can't believe it."

Cao Yaozu wanted to argue, and heard Yu Zixiao say: "The next year is the township examination, and the students of the prefectural school all know that there is not enough time. ."

Cao Yaozu's heart sank, he meditated for a moment, and replied: "I love my cousin in my heart. I have missed my cousin since she left Kangping, and it is difficult to concentrate. I expect that after I get married, I can let go of my distracting thoughts and focus on reading, and I will be nominated on the Japanese list again. Wouldn't it be nice to come to the door to marry you?"

Yu Zixiao criticized him for being fake just now, but Cao Yaozu quickly revealed his true feelings, but he was reprimanded again.

"Do you know what you think and imagine? Like a disciple, like a scoundrel. According to what you said, you are willing to study well until I agree to this marriage. If I don't, you can still complain if you make a mistake in the township examination next year. Take my father and daughter?"

"My nephew didn't mean it, he was about to say something wrong..."

Yu Zixiao waved his hand: "please nephew to stay at the mansion for one night, and leave for Kangping County tomorrow. I don't want what you asked for, even if you come once, twice or three times. Nephew, don't talk any more, before you speak. Think about it, so as not to harm others and yourself."

Cao Yaozu was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to turn his face. He even showed a look of sadness and reluctantly agreed, and exited from Yu Zixiao's study. When he arrived in the courtyard, his face was about to be unbearable, but he met Yu Xia who was bringing soup to Yu Zixiao. Hearing Yu Xia greet him crisply, he lifted his skirt slightly and crossed the threshold into the study.

He stood in the courtyard for a while, and when he heard Yu Xia laughing and joking, he coaxed Yu Zixiao into laughter.

Cao Yaozu felt a little empty in his heart, and felt that he was not all calculating, and he should have three or two sincere feelings for his cousin. No matter how hard he works, he is just a young man who has not yet reached the crown. How can he not admire good colors? Yu Xia was indeed the most outstanding girl among the girls Cao Yaozu had ever met.

The sentimentality was only for a moment, but Cao Yaozu quickly calmed down and moved to the Yu Family Guest House. He didn't want to stay in Fucheng for too long, but only hoped to leave and return to Kangping as soon as possible.

In the next year's township examination, there must be no mistakes. He not only wants to recruit people from high school, but also ranks among the best. He strives to find a good teacher, make three to five or seven like-minded friends, and pursue an economic career together.

Cao Yaozu held back his strength, thinking that if one day he rose to prominence, he would definitely return all the humiliation today.

Early the next morning, Cao Yaozu set out to return home, and Yu Zixiao gave him two or three remarks. He seemed to be humbly being taught, but in fact he didn't care. Yu Zixiao saw it in his eyes and didn't say more.

He was in a hurry along the way, seeing his son coming back so early, Fang Shi was puzzled, and seeing that his son's face was not good, he asked, "Didn't it work?"

"Not only did it fail, but I was also admonished by my uncle."

"No way! How can I get Yu Zixiao's turn to point fingers at him? It's just nosy!..." Fang scolded several times, saying that it would be worthwhile to cut off this relationship, and he would not communicate with him in the future, and gave Cao Yaozu an angry look, "Mother I said earlier that there are many good girls, you have to have her!"

"Yes, my son will listen to you in the future, it's up to you to decide."

The relationship that was finally repaired was broken again, but it was not a pity for the two families. Fang Shi repeatedly told himself that Yu Zixiao was just a poor gentleman. What's so great? And the Yu family father and daughter have the same idea - different ways of doing things.

It was already in November that Cao Yaozu went to Linzhou to seek marriage. The New Year was approaching when he came back. At this time, Mrs. Fang was already busy and was preparing to give gifts to relatives and friends. She didn't miss the Yu family directly, but the ceremony of going there this year was even weaker than usual.

The Yu family's return gift was a little more beautiful, but it was just barely combined, and it was not rude.

#

As long as many things are done, rumors will leak out. Cao Yaozu likes his cousin and even goes to Linzhou to ask for marriage. This has quietly spread in Kangping. Wan Rong, the county magistrate, hurriedly told his wife Wang Jinniang after hearing about it. Jinniang was shocked and asked if there was such a thing?

Wan Rong nodded: "Can I still coax you?"

Wang Jinniang pondered for a while, and her expression changed again and again before she said, "Master, did you think Xiaoyue had seen it earlier? If he hadn't seen the tricks earlier, would he have prevented me from going to Cao's house to invite Mrs. Fang as a matchmaker?"

Wan Rong thought about it for a while, but it was really possible. People in the world always say that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, but in this kind of thing, the authorities are much more sober than the people around. To put it more bluntly, others can't figure out who is your rival in love, and you can't feel it yourself?

"Fortunately, Xiaoyue stopped him, otherwise you think about it, Fang Shi wants her son to marry, but I don't have the eyesight to ask her for help in matchmaking, so I shouldn't be embarrassed?"

"Go on, sir, what happened later? Should the girl's family respond?"

Wan Rong shook his head: "Then it's not clear, but looking at Mr. Cao's complexion, I guess it didn't work out. If it did, he would have a dark face all day long?"

Originally, her heart was in her throat, but after hearing what the man said, Wang Jinniang breathed a sigh of relief. She kept repeating that it didn't work out! As a result, I was not happy for a while, and then became sad again.

"We can't fight with that Mr. Yu. The only one who can help match is Mr. Fang. Now, Mr. Fang will still help?"

Wan Rong felt that whether she helped or not was secondary, and the most important thing was that his father didn't even like Cao Yaozu. Cao Yaozu, he was the most outstanding young talent in Kangping County! When he went to propose a relative, he was closed, and Xiaoyue could still have a show?

"It's not that I look down on people. You put aside the important status of relatives and stand in the position of others. If you choose a son-in-law, do you want Cao Yaozu or our nephew?"

Wang Jinniang;  …

Indeed, isn't the Yu family's standard for choosing a son-in-law too high?

If Xiaoyue admits her to death, will she still be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life?

Qiao Yue, who was missed by his uncle and aunt, had a lively new year in Chen Township. When he returned to Wen early this year, the old farmers looked at the weather and estimated that they would be able to plant potatoes in about 20 days. They all planned to rush to plant potatoes first, and then put all their energy into the paddy fields. Rice is more expensive than potatoes, and growing rice is much more troublesome than growing potatoes.

Qiao's family is the landlord. Most of his family's 200 mu of paddy fields and 100 mu of dry land are rented out. When the harvest comes, the tenant farmers will pay off the rent with grain. Therefore, although the Qiao family farms less land, they do not lack food. Just plant some fresh vegetables, not bitter or tired.

This year is different. Qiao Yue spent a lot of energy to mix out a tank of water, cut the potatoes for seeding into cubes and soaked them in water. Before cutting, he did not forget to carefully clean the knife... Potatoes soaked in water He placed the block on a two-inch layer of sandy soil, covered it with moist sandy soil, and waited for it to sprout. Seeing that the sprouts had grown to about the same length, he ordered Uncle A Shou to take someone to carefully pick out the sprouted potato pieces, put them in a shaded place, and then transplanted them into the soil that was one foot deep.

Qiao Fulai was dumbfounded for a long time. As a country landlord, he is very concerned about the climate every year and the harvest in the field. He has seen old farmers plant the land with his own eyes. There are numbers.

Potatoes are easy to survive among many crops, and even if you leave it alone, the harvest is not bad. He had never heard of such a laborious effort, and he said that the effort was just to save some potato seeds?

Qiao Yue didn't explain much at this stage, and it was useless if he couldn't see the harvest. He just ate well, took medicine, took care of himself, and devoted all his energy to the potatoes in his family's few acres of land.

The top dressing should be topdressing, the soil should be cultivated, and the water should be watered.

Others didn't grow rice so carefully. Qiao Fulai and Wang Zhenniang watched the silly boy run into the fields and asked him that in your dream, others were really farming like this? Are they all fools?

Qiao Yue thought that you are a fool!

He himself is in a state where everyone is drunk and I wake up alone. Others can't understand his state. The farmers in Chenxiang have been fond of talking about the sick seedling of Qiao's landlord's house. What are you crazy about, you have to learn to farm. Learning how to farm is not about compound numbers, it's all about feeling and tossing. Have you heard that potatoes are cut into pieces before they are planted? Wouldn't it be broken if you cut it?

"Didn't Mr. Qiao invite a few people to help him during the sowing? My elder brother went, and he said that he might live. His potato clumps sprouted before they moved into the field, and they were an inch deep."

"Isn't it? His acres of land were the first to germinate."

"How many species does he use to cut an acre of land into pieces?"

The man shook his head and said that he didn't measure it clearly, but he could save a lot, and it was possible to save most of it.

Hearing this, the farmers were shocked.

If you can achieve the same harvest by saving half of the grain, it is very profitable. After that, more and more people stared at the few acres of Qiao's land. The potatoes grew fast. It took four months from planting to harvesting. Seeing that the ground was ready to be harvested, Qiao Fu came to ask Qiao Yue's meaning. I took people to dig half an acre of land. This half acre of land was dug by the villagers watching.

"Only half an acre of land has been dug, why is there so much?"

"Have the harvest at least doubled?"

"I think so too."

Qiao Fulai's face flushed, he was excited, he didn't expect it to happen! Potatoes really let my son grow! He just had a dream, woke up and did a lot of nonsense to make such a big harvest!

Qiao Fulai wanted to dig up all the potatoes in the field at one go, but Qiao Yue stopped and said that he was not in a hurry. Qiao Fulai was puzzled, and was about to ask a question, when his son wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said, "Shouldn't we have such a harvest in Chenxiang to report to the court? They watched digging."

The farmers were originally afraid of the Qiao family's possession of private property. When they heard this, they were relieved and agreed, saying that farming is the foundation of the country, and that Chenxiang has achieved such a big harvest. It is time to inform the court and promote the new planting method. Nationwide, bring everyone together to increase income.

Report to the court?

National promotion?

The landlord is so careful, he can't stand it anymore, he nods his head abruptly, and asks Ah Shou to go to the county quickly and tell his brother-in-law Wanrong about this, and see what Wanrong says to do.

When A Shou was on his way, Qiao Fu came and ordered people to bring the dug potatoes home, and made people stare at the remaining acres of land. He himself sat down and rested for a while, and laughed, saying that this was a big happy event for the glory of the ancestors. Qiao Fulai turned his head to look at his son and said, "Dad knows that Xiaoyue you are not making a fool of yourself! Sure enough, you didn't disappoint your father! Good son!"

Wang Zhenniang brought the cold mung bean soup and let the father and son take a few sips, and joked: "When Xiaoyue said he wanted to farm, you didn't say that. Master forgot how you persuaded him? It's just that he didn't persuade him. If you want to say that you knew that your son could grow, but I don't believe it; if you want to say that our son's stubborn temper is like who? It's not fake like you."

Qiao Fulai heard it and laughed: "You woman, you will tear down the master stage!"

Wang Zhenniang followed with a smile, scooped a small bowl of mung bean soup for herself, took a sip, and said, "I don't know how long the county magistrate sent people here. There should always be a reward for such a great achievement?"

The county magistrate Jin heard about this from Wanrong, and he couldn't sit still. He came to Chen Township the next day. Qiao Fulai led people to dig another half an acre. Don't dig it, stay for a few more days, he will report it up and report it to the prefect.

The county magistrate is a great official in the hearts of farmers in Chen Township. He heard that the prefect will be alerted when he receives food. That is the prefect, and he is the biggest official in Linzhou!

The old peasants were already thinking about what to offer to entertain the prefect, and there were one or two who had a bad heart. They went back and had their girls clean up and clean up, and they were going to send her to the adults to show her face that day, to see if she could fly up the branches.

The harvest of potatoes on an acre of land has doubled or tripled. As soon as the news was reported, the prefect of Linzhou could not sit still. He rushed to Kangping with his people and rushed to Kangping. Continue to lead the way to Chenxiang.

On Chen Xiang's side, Qiao Fulai has been waiting for a long time. He packed himself up decently and told his son not to forget to drink medicine. He went to the prefect to cheer himself up. When asked, he had to answer in a friendly way. No fooling around.
