Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 122 122. Compromise

Everyone present was not a fool. After hearing what he said, they fell into silence for a long time. However, Feng Jinxu spoke first to break the situation.

"The snow fell late last year. Farmers with some experience feel that there will be more rain this year. Zhejiang and Zhejiang are originally water towns. If the harvest is affected by rain problems, how much does my father think this year's official grain can pay?"

"Based on normal circumstances, the saving in a good harvest year is about eight million dan. In a bad harvest year, I'm afraid it's only half."

Calculated in this way, after deducting the "disappeared" official rations, at most two million stones can be transported to the capital.

If there were no natural or man-made disasters, these two million stones would indeed be able to fill several granaries. However, if something unexpected happened, this amount of food would be like a stone sinking into the ocean, without even a bubble rising.

Bai Xiang glanced at his foreign eldest grandson, and his mind was quite sharp.

Sensing the look in her grandfather's eyes, Feng Jinxu thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

"This matter is Ayao's idea. She has taken some of the harvest from her shop and stored it in the village. She also asked the farmers below to divide half of the fields to plant lotus roots. That thing is not afraid of heavy rain.

There will be a good harvest.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little surprised, especially Bai Xiang. He had always thought that his granddaughter had a quiet and polite temperament, but he didn't expect that she could be so understanding and thoughtful, and had arranged everything that followed.

For a while, I was quite curious about her.

"That being the case, then you can report your illness at home tomorrow, boss, and remember to go find the doctor from Guiyuan Hall to take a look at it. It must be a serious illness that makes you bedridden. Do you understand?"

"yes!"

The words were spoken to Feng Hai, and everyone present understood.

Bai Xiang was calm and composed, as if talking about family matters, but his words contained unquestionable orders.

Of course it is good to be the director of water transportation, but he must be able to eat it. Otherwise, the Feng family will be choked to death and the Bai family will be implicated, which is not worth the gain.

"As for Jinxu..."

"Grandpa, don't worry. My son has just recovered his life and my wife is in labor. My grandson will not leave Dongdu City at this time."

Bai Xiang nodded. Although this matter was aimed at Feng Hai for the time being, if the people behind him saw that it was useless to attack Feng Hai and turned to deal with Feng Jinxu, they would be beyond their reach.

It would be much safer to stay in Dongdu City.

In the study, the tense atmosphere just now has dissipated a lot. Now that we have come to a conclusion, we are no longer afraid of the tricks and temptations of outsiders.

In the front hall, Bai Siruo took Feng Jinyao and whispered.

"Did you know? Third uncle is going back to Qiongzhou and will leave after the Lantern Festival."

"So fast?" Is it possible that Shen couldn't suppress the matter of blackmailing Brother Qiao, so they left in such a hurry?

Bai Siruo looked disgusted, "The third uncle left quickly, but the third aunt and Bai Sihan stayed behind, saying that she was injured and couldn't move. Huh, when I got engaged, I saw her sitting upright. It's been so long.

He even said that the injury is not healed yet!”

Everyone knows what Shen and her daughter are thinking, but it happens that she uses this excuse, so it's hard to say anything.

Bai Siruo could only be secretly angry, and besides, Bai Sihan was like a candy these days, always coming close to her. If her grandmother hadn't refused her today, I'm afraid mother and daughter would have followed her.

Nowadays, I see him every so often, and I feel upset, but there is nothing I can do.

Feng Jinyao is not worried about Shen's mother and daughter now. Anyone with an agenda can easily discover their step-by-step plans. On the contrary, it is Bai Siruo's marriage. The last time she went to the Bai family to send gifts, she was not able to see her.

So he looked at her and asked in a low voice.

"How are you doing lately? Have you thought about the engagement?"

When Feng Jinyao suddenly mentioned this matter, Bai Siruo, who was originally filled with indignation, seemed to be discouraged and couldn't cheer up.

"I wonder what's the use of thinking about it. Aren't the endings the same? Besides, I'm marrying from Prince Kang's palace, so I won't be wronged. At least it's a hundred times better than sending me away for marriage."

There was helplessness behind the bitter smile. Feng Jinyao's mind was sharp and she quickly thought of the fact that the other vassals were coming to congratulate her on the Lantern Festival. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort her.

"Cousin, I hope you can live a happy life."

She didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was very clear. Since she could disturb the marriage between Huang Liang and Xu's family, she could naturally find a way to help her escape from this unsatisfactory marriage, but she also needed her consent.

Bai Siruo understood what she meant. For a moment, Lu Yuanfeng's face appeared in her mind, with a smile on her lips. However, it only took a blink of an eye, and the idea was rejected in her mind.

The Liang family and the Xu family have broken off their relationship and can live without contact with each other for the rest of their lives, even if they are enemies.

However, the relationship between the Bai family and Prince Kang's family has been broken. How can we break off the engagement?

Although she was naive, she was not stupid. She would not do such stupid things just for the so-called love. So she patted Feng Jinyao's hand and comforted her.

"Don't worry, although my second cousin and I haven't met each other a few times, he has grown up with his second uncle since he was a child. You also know that my second uncle is a man. He is highly praised in Mandong City, if not all the year round.

Stationed in Liangzhou, I am afraid that the threshold of Prince Kang's palace will be stepped down by the matchmaker hired by the famous family. I can trust the people he raised."

Although she was still somewhat reluctant, the situation was such that she could only convince herself.

Feng Jinyao looked at her and thought of the ending of her previous life. Maybe it would be different this time.

The front hall and study room each have their own plans and plans.

When the whole family got together for the reunion dinner, Yun and Yunli were also there.

I came here in a soft sedan and didn't suffer much on the road. My body recovered quickly, but my face was still a little pale.

"My great-grandson Yunhe has met his great-grandfather and his great-grandmother."

Yunli also followed his elder brother and saluted the two old men respectfully. This was the first time he saw Xiang Bai and Mrs. Bai.

"Get up, get up, it's still so cold today. If you don't stay in bed, why are you here? You're freezing." Mrs. Bai felt distressed and hurried to help her, taking his cold hand and covering it in her palm.

She also said kindly to Yunli next to her, "This is the first time my great-grandmother has met you. I will give you a big red envelope later, okay?"

Yunli didn't know anything else, but when he heard the words "big red envelope", he grinned happily and blurted out in a sweet voice.

"Thank you, great-grandmother. Yunli will kowtow to you later."

Zhidong's words made everyone laugh. Many unsatisfactory things were left in the past. Feng Jinxu walked to Wen's side and gently held her waist. Although it was only less than four months, her belly was already slightly protruding.

, Wen's back hurts easily after standing for a long time, so he gave her some help to ease her discomfort.

Wen looked down and understood what he was thinking. Yes, only by looking forward to everything can we live a comfortable life.
