There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Because of time constraints, Daohua and his party did not play for long before preparing to go home.

"When will these sunflower seeds be harvested?" Xiao Yeyang asked suddenly before leaving.

Daohua wondered: "Why are you asking this?"

Xiao Yeyang: ". This sunflower is a birthday present from you, of course I will come to receive it."

Daohua was stunned.

She did say before that these sunflowers were all given to Xiao Yeyang, but as a wealthy little prince, shouldn't his attention be on the sea of ​​flowers, why did he notice sunflower seeds?

She is going to sell melon seeds later!

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang immediately guessed what she was thinking, and said unpleasantly, "Why, are you going to give half of this gift and receive half of it yourself?"

Daohua quickly shook his head and denied: "Nothing, I will send someone to tell you as soon as the sunflowers mature."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang showed satisfaction.

The gifts given to him naturally have to be taken back in their entirety.

When he was leaving, Xiao Yeyang also asked Defu to pick a few sunflowers, saying that he would take them back and put them in a bottle for viewing.

Seeing this, Dong Yuanxuan and the others were also very moved. However, before they could speak, Xiao Yeyang refused directly: "This is my birthday present, do you want it?"

A few plants per person, and a dozen people present, how many sunflowers will this harm him?

Dong Yuanxuan and the others: "."

One hundred acres of sunflowers, they'd love to ask for it!

Dong Yuanyao pouted and said to Su Shiyu in a low voice, "I didn't expect the little prince to be such a stingy person."

Su Shiyu quite understands: "The little prince doesn't want everyone to pick flowers, it only shows that he cares about this gift. Think for yourself, if you want to receive a gift that suits your heart, you are willing to take it out and share it with you. share with others?"

Dong Yuanyao smiled immediately: "It's okay to share, but it's okay to have a look."

Soon, the group began to walk back.

At the gate of Xingzhou, except for Zhou Jingwan, everyone else has to return to Wuhua Mountain.

Daohua took two exquisite wooden boxes from Qin Xiaoliu, who had returned to Yan's residence in advance. These are simple cosmetic boxes made by imitating modern cosmetic boxes.

"This is a gift I gave to my two sisters."

Dong Yuanyao was always thinking about lipstick, and when she heard Daohua's words, she quickly took the box with a smile and opened it.

The makeup box has three layers. The top layer is filled with various types of makeup brushes, the middle layer is filled with twelve-color lipsticks, and the bottom layer is filled with moisturizing cream and gouache.

"so much?"

Dong Yuanyao looked happy, the rouge gouache in the box covered everything needed for daily dress up.

Zhou Jingwan stood by and stretched her neck to look at it. Seeing that there were not as many things in the box as Daohua gave her, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Sure enough, she is Daohua's best friend.

Su Shiyu didn't expect that she also had gifts, smiled shyly, and shyly took the makeup box from Daohua's hand: "Thank you, Sister Yan!"

Daohua smiled and shook her head: "You're welcome, as long as the two sisters like it."

"I like it!" Dong Yuanyao immediately took over, and then looked at Daohua a little embarrassedly, "I like this very much, thank you."

At this time, Yan Wenkai's urging voice arrived: "Okay, if you don't leave, it will be dark."

Daohua immediately replied: "Okay." Then she looked at Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu, "Two sisters walk slowly, next time you have time, you must come to my house and sit down."

Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu both nodded quickly, and after saying goodbye to each other, they walked towards Dong Yuanxuan and the others with the vanity case.

After leaving the two, Xiao Yeyang, who was standing beside him, snorted and glanced at Daohua dissatisfiedly: "I thought you prepared a present for me today?"

Daohua: "It's really only you. I prepared those two vanity boxes after riding the horse last time. I wanted to give them to sisters Dong and Su for a long time, but I just didn't have the chance."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's complexion became better, but he felt that he, a big man, had lost his demeanor by caring about these trivial matters, and his face was a little uncomfortable.

Daohua didn't notice it, just urged: "Let's go, you are still having a banquet there!"

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, and wanted to put his hand into his arms and take out the blindfolded handkerchief and return it to her, but after hesitating for a while, he put his hand back, coughed, and said, "Well, We're leaving."

After walking a few steps, he turned around again, "I like that gift very much." After speaking, he left quickly.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's back, which seemed to be fleeing, Daohua smiled happily: "This guy, looking awkward, is quite cute."

Hearing this, Zhou Jingwan frowned, then shook her head.

She doesn't think the little prince is cute!

She was quite afraid of the little prince, especially when he had a straight face. She really didn't know how Daohua's eyes were so long that he thought the little prince was cute.

"Okay, let's go back too!"

When no one could be seen, Daohua and Zhou Jingwan got on the carriage and returned to the city.

After entering June, the weather has improved, and there is no rain, and the watermelons and grapes on the Zhuangzi have begun to ripen one after another.

The harvested watermelons and grapes, rice flowers, were not sold in the fruit and vegetable store, but borrowed the Zhou family's boat, pulled them to the provincial capital, and sold them directly to the Li family's uncle.

The same is true of the production in the fields of Yanjiazhuangzi.

This is because Yan Zhigao distributed watermelon seeds and grape seeds in the prefectural government during the spring ploughing this year. Anyone within the jurisdiction of Xingzhou can receive about one mu of seeds from the prefectural government and go back to trial planting as long as they hold their household registration. .

Because it is distributed for free, there are still many people who receive it. Now, watermelon fields, grape sheds, etc. can be seen everywhere in Xingzhou.

In order not to seize the market with the common people, the Yan family also had the Li family to sell, so they simply did not sell in Xingzhou City.

After mid-June, many traders came to Xingzhou City, all of whom came to buy watermelons and grapes.

In the past two years, the Li family took the lead in selling watermelons and made enough money, and then opened a winery and made a fortune. Some businessmen who were sensitive to business opportunities saw the huge profits brought by watermelons and grapes, and began to pay attention.

Ever since they knew that Yan Zhigao was going to promote watermelons and grapes in Xingzhou City, the Li family had intentionally helped to publicize them. As a result, news of the production of watermelons and grapes in Xingzhou spread in Zhongzhou Province.

"It's raining a lot this year. I thought the watermelon would not be sweet, but I never thought that the watermelon in Xingzhou would not be affected."

"Yeah, this taste is even more delicious than what I ate in the south a few years ago. If you can buy more and sell it in the north, it will definitely be very popular with high-profile families."

The merchants made a field investigation and saw that Xingzhou's watermelons and grapes were really good, and they all started to sell.

In this way, the people who planted watermelons and grapes more or less earned some money.

Yan House.

Everyone in the Yan family could clearly feel that Yan Zhigao was in a good mood during this time.

Yan Zhigao took a rest on this day, everyone gathered together, and Mrs. Yan couldn't hold back and asked, "Boss, have you found money these days?"

Yan Zhigao smiled. Just as he was about to say something, Yan Zhiyuan, who was beside him, spoke first: "Mother, you don't know, eldest brother is happier than picking up money."

Mrs. Yan was interested: "Oh, tell me, what happened?"

Yan Zhigao coughed a few times and cleared his throat: "It's raining a lot this year, and I'm worried that the grain production in the fields will decrease and the people's lives will be miserable, but wasn't the prefecture government promoting watermelons and grapes before, and now traders from all over Xingzhou are flocking to Xingzhou. , the people have extra income, I can rest assured."

After hearing this, Mrs. Yan also smiled: "This is indeed a good thing."

Yan Zhiyuan continued with a smile: "This year is the third year that my eldest brother has served as the governor of Xingzhou. With this achievement, my eldest brother will definitely rise again next year."

Yan Zhigao hurriedly waved his hand to stop it: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense about this, appointing officials to serve is something that the imperial court considers, just do what you have to do for your brother, and don't talk about it in the future."

Yan Zhiyuan responded immediately with a smile: "It's my brother who talks too much."

Yan Zhigao didn't hold on, and quickly glanced at his eldest daughter, thinking of the difficult situation faced by several prefectures in Linzhou, and suddenly sighed in his heart.

The eldest daughter is really his lucky star. If it wasn't for her proposal to promote watermelons and grapes, he would be in trouble now.

Because of the heavy rain, the grain production in the fields is already a certainty. Now, the people of Xingzhou have money in their hands, and they can survive this year.

It was almost noon, and the Yan family was preparing to eat when the housekeeper Sun hurried in.

Yan Zhigao put down the tableware and chopsticks: "Is something wrong?"

Butler Sun: "Master, Master Xiao has just sent a message that the Jiguang Province above Zhongzhou has burst its dyke, and I want you to return to the prefecture."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao stood up immediately, and left with Butler Sun before he could say anything.
