Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

In the early morning of the next day, Xinyuan Restaurant sent eight carriages to Lingjia Village with great fanfare to sell jam. The ostentation was not to mention how spectacular it was. A country family would be considered rich if they had an ox cart. Horse carriages were almost unthinkable, let alone There were only eight of them at a time. When the carriage drove into Lingjia Village, the whole village became restless. Many people put down their work and followed the carriage. At the door of the house, everyone was shocked and puzzled, not knowing what was going on.

"Haha? Brother Ling, your speed is really fast enough. You have made [-] catties in just a few days. We don't have to worry about selling it. You don't know. I originally sold the [-] cans last time I want to keep all of them and sell them in Datong Town. Who knows that the shopkeeper of the branch in the town has been waiting in the restaurant for a long time, so he snatched half of them and left. My son, your two thousand five hundred catties really came in a timely manner."

The shopkeeper Zhang who came to pick up the goods in person took advantage of the time when the guys were carrying the jam, and couldn't help complaining to Ling Jingxuan. In fact, if the [-] cans of jam were sold in Datong Town, it would be no problem to sell them for ten days. The amount of ice cream added is not much, and Datong Town is not too big. The reason why it can't stand the sale is mainly because the magistrate Hu of Qingyang County. The magistrate Hu's family is from the north. It’s been five years in the town, and I still can’t adapt to the scorching summer. The whole family suffers from summer. After eating the ancient version of the milkshake, County Magistrate Hu became addicted. He ate several servings almost every day. They are all following the trend, and the county magistrate can't put it down, so other people will naturally have to try it, and then? ?The cold product sold like crazy, and the most important raw material, jam, was naturally in short supply.

"In order to rush to produce this batch of goods, I have hired a lot of people, but this time there are only large jars, and I want to adopt a customized style of hardcover jams in small jars, that is, I will make as much as others want, and I will make an order three days in advance What do shopkeepers think?" Ling Jingxuan definitely doesn't know about the affairs of the town, and he doesn't care, as long as the jam he makes can be sold, the rest has nothing to do with him.

"It's a good feeling, but you'd better make a few hundred cans first and let me distribute them to other branches for trial sale, so that there will be more sales in the future."

Shopkeeper Zhang is also shrewd, he knows everything, for them, it is definitely more cost-effective to calculate by the catty, too much jam in small jars is harmful to them, and it is not beneficial to them. There is a stockpiling problem.

"Of course. In fact, I have already ordered two hundred small jars, and I can hand them over to you when the next delivery is made."

"Okay, you, I've thought of everything. It's comfortable to do business with you. Brother Ling, this is a silver ticket of 500 taels. We still follow the agreement last time. The bill will be settled every ten days. You count. "

As he said that, shopkeeper Zhang took out the bank notes and handed them to him. Ling Jingxuan took them with a smile, lowered his eyes and glanced at them lightly. In fact, there was nothing good, just two 1000 tael and one 500 tael silver bills.

"Brother Zhang, I don't know if there is a better private school in this town? You have seen that the two children are grown up, and it is almost time to send them to enlightenment. Now that we have earned a little money, I want to send them to the town. Reading, I wonder if Brother Zhang can recommend one or two?"

After collecting the bank notes, Ling Jingxuan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for them respectively, and slowly stated his purpose. Building a house is urgent, and the same goes for children studying. In ancient times, children were usually enlightened at the age of five. He didn't want to be one step ahead. And we must not let the two little buns lose at the starting line.

"Private school, there are some good ones, but brother Ling, I have seen your children before, they are really smart and cute, if they are sent to private schools, I am afraid that they will be delayed, why don't you just hire a famous teacher Well, it's only a few dozen taels of silver a year, which is not expensive at all compared to the future of the child."

Shopkeeper Zhang stroked his chin and looked at the little bun obediently snuggled up beside Ling Jinghan who was sitting with him. He only suggested this after getting acquainted with Ling Jingxuan. As an ordinary person, he would not bother to bother.

"Daddy??"

Hearing that it cost dozens of taels of silver every year, Ling Wen decidedly became anxious, and was too embarrassed to explode in front of outsiders, so he could only hold his breath and stare at his father. Buying a carriage just to study was enough to make his heart ache. Now, how can I spend dozens of taels to invite a gentleman to come to my house? He is studying, not eating money. If it is so extravagant, does he still dare to study with peace of mind?

"Ha ha--"

Seeing this, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help laughing, and after giving Ling Wen a comforting look, he continued: "Please don't worry about it, sir, we don't dare to be so extravagant in the countryside, and I don't ask my child to achieve much in the future, as long as It is enough not to bow down to others, not to be deceived and bullied by others, ordinary private schools are enough."

It's easy for him to say not to be inferior to others. Shopkeeper Zhang and Ling Jinghan both raised their eyebrows in surprise, and seriously doubted whether he was wrong. Do you want his son to be emperor?But Yan Shengrui who was recovering from illness in the next room raised the corners of his lips after hearing his words, wouldn't he submit to others?Sure enough, it was something his family Jingxuan could say.

"Daddy, you're wrong. I'm going to be an official in the future, a high-ranking official." As if he had forgotten about spending money, Ling Wen hastily stated that his father spent so much money to send him to study, and he would give him money for everything he said. A high official is back.

"Haha?? Well said, that's what it is."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Zhang laughed and patted his head, Ling Jingxuan said with a helpless smile: "Brother Zhang is making a joke, this kid is poor and afraid, and always wants to be a high official."

Reluctant to helpless, Ling Jingxuan is also happy. It is a good thing that his son has ambition, but he is afraid that he will put too much pressure on himself.

"It's okay, Brother Ling, if you mean to let the children learn something and don't want to put more pressure on them, I have someone who can recommend it to you. His talent can be said to be the best in Datong Town, no, maybe the whole Qingyang There is no one in the county who can match him, but I don't know whether he has any fame or not, and he is low-key and doesn't like to make friends with others. If he didn't accidentally offend Wang when he first arrived in Datong Town Juren, being forced by Wang Juren to have to fight with him, it is impossible for me to know that he is so talented and amazing."

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand, and his expression suddenly became serious. He only remembered this person after hearing what Ling Jingxuan said. Back then, the literary fight was very secret, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know about it. He only knew about it because the venue was held at Xinyuan Restaurant.

"Oh? There is such a person?" Ling Jingxuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and even Ling Jinghan beside him couldn't help casting a surprised look.

"Well, his name is Chu Ci. He is probably in his 20s. He opened a bookstore in the town and brought a nine-year-old son with him. He came to Datong Town about two years ago. He is a bit cold and casual, but There is no doubt about his talent and learning, I have a little friendship with him, by the way, he also likes to eat the cold food you made, if you have that kind of intention, I can introduce it to you."

"Then it's troublesome, brother."

Ling Jingxuan is not a pedantic person either, although this Chuci seems a little too young, but he can defeat Juren, it is enough to enlighten the two little buns, besides, it is impossible for a person with bad intentions to be indifferent and low-key. It was recommended by Shopkeeper Zhang. With the combination of the three, Ling Jingxuan decided on Xiao Baozi's teacher almost instantly.

"No problem, depending on when you are free, just take the child to the restaurant and find me."

Shopkeeper Zhang is also a straightforward person. He patted his chest and took it all down. Ling Jingxuan smiled and nodded: "One more thing. I heard that there is a Liu Baoren in the town. I wonder if Brother Zhang knows him?"

"There is such a person, what are you looking for a guarantor for? Buying land?"

Farmers, if they earn money, they must buy land first.

"Hehe... almost, the children are going to study in the town, I want to buy them a carriage or something, and a cow by the way, and, as you can see, my house is so dilapidated that it might collapse if the wind blows So I want to buy all the dozens of acres of homesteads in front and back, and prepare to build a few bright blue brick and tile houses."

He didn't have much money in his hand before, so he didn't dare to plan too much. Now that the money is ready, since he wants to build a house, he naturally has to plan it all at once. He said it was a big brick house, but in fact he wanted to build a house directly. Enter the courtyard three times, a large manor with an inverted wing room, and by the way, fish ponds and orchards are also planned together. Of course, the main house must be built first for the places that were not lived in the early stage. Others can be taken slowly in the future. Buy it, spend a little more money to buy some blue bricks to build the courtyard wall.

"Well, this is not bad. The homestead is not expensive. Old Liu has a good reputation and is reliable in his work. After you buy the land, I will introduce you to some engineering teams that specialize in building houses for big families in the town. , they do a good job and the price they charge is fair.”

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded. Indeed, their house should also be changed.

"Hehe... That would be the best. I am worried that I can't find someone to build a house. If I say it, I won't be afraid of old brother Zhang's jokes. I guess I can't find anyone to work with money in Lingjia Village."

As he was talking, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help teasing himself, how can he really find no one to work for, it's just that he doesn't want to find people from Lingjia Village, he doesn't want to spend money and let people talk non-stop, isn't that Are you deliberately embarrassing yourself?

"Hmph, those people just ignore it. They will regret it in the future. Brother Ling, it's getting late. It's time for me to go back. When the house is built, just go to the restaurant and find me."

With a cold snort of disdain, seeing that the guys were all waiting in the yard, the shopkeeper Zhang stood up. After a while, the restaurant should get busy, and he, the shopkeeper, had to go back to sit down.

"Sure, I'll go to town later, I'll have to trouble my brother about the children."

Ling Jingxuan got up and walked beside him and said, Ling Jinghan and Ling Jingpeng who finished moving things also followed behind them with smiles on their faces, and the two little buns leaned beside Ling Chenglong. When they saw the three Ling Jingxuan brothers coming out surrounded by shopkeeper Zhang, their eyes widened, and they all looked in disbelief. Even in the past half a month, there have been waves of rumors about Ling Jingxuan Well, many people still don't want to believe that the person who was so stupid and let them bully him has completely changed his appearance.

"Poverty and backwardness are not terrible. Ignorance kills people. Brother Ling, those people are snobbish. When you become prosperous in the future, they may not know how to curry favor with you."

Before getting into the car, shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help comforting him. During this period of time, he also learned a lot about Ling Jingxuan, and felt wronged for him from the bottom of his heart. It is not uncommon for men to have children in history. In his opinion , not only is it not surprising, but it is a kind of blessing, otherwise why can't others have children?

"Hehe...Thank you bro, I've gotten used to it over the years."

Ling Jingxuan didn't find it funny, did he look like someone who cared about those rumors?

"Well, then I'll go first."

"Brother, go slowly!"

After sending them off, the three brothers looked at each other and smiled, turned around and entered the yard without even looking at the villagers around them. What do others think or say is none of their business?Just don't mess with them.

This matter has also reached the ears of the Ling family. Some people disdain, some sigh, and some are full of calculations, but no matter what their reaction is, it is impossible to realize it in the end. If they feel that Ling Jinghan who has left the Ling family It would be a big mistake to wait for people to be so easy to handle.

"Daddy, are you and uncle going to town?"

After a long morning of work, he only had time to eat. Xiao Baozi blinked his eyes and looked at him longingly, as if saying, I want to go too, I want to go too? ?

"Well, Dad is going to buy a carriage and cows, and he will bring someone back to measure the land. Our family is going to build a house. Don't go to the town today. I will take you there after the house is arranged. Just now You heard it too, Uncle Zhang introduced you to a nice gentleman!"

Taking the porridge that Yan Shengrui helped him serve, Ling Jingxuan reached out to rub his head lovingly while talking.

"Oh!"

Hearing this, knowing that he can't follow today, the little bun poked the porridge in the bowl depressedly, Ling Wen raised his head and said, "Daddy, do we want to build a big tile house with green bricks?"

"Well, the house is for a lifetime, so of course we have to build it better."

With a twinkle in his eyes, Ling Jingxuan said as tactfully as possible, for fear that his stingy son would object, but he seemed to underestimate him, and he nodded in agreement: "Well, Daddy can cover it if he wants, but It’s better to save a little for the province, it’s not easy for our family to earn that little money, it’s always good to have more on hand.”

Perhaps they earned more than 2000 taels of silver today, but Ling Wen didn't object to it, although they still added but that's all.

"Hehe, of course, I still need to save some more money so that I can marry you a wife in the future."

When Ling Jingxuan was happy, he decisively joked with him.

"Daddy??" The two little buns blushed at the same time. How could it be said that children in ancient times matured prematurely, and this little kid, who is only a little older, would blush when it comes to marrying a wife.

"I'll go with you later." Looking at his son dotingly, Yan Shengrui turned to look at Ling Jingxuan. The wound on his head had almost healed, but he shouldn't be too tired. It should be fine to go for a walk around the town .

"Well, that's fine, Jinghan, tell Jingpeng the name of what book you want to buy, and we'll bring it back to you later." Ling Jingxuan agreed after a little thought, and turned to Ling Jinghan.

"Hey, brother, be careful too. You can rest assured that my father and I are at home."

These words seem ordinary, but they actually contain several layers of meaning. Ling Jingxuan understood, and nodded to him with a smile in the corner of his eyes. The family discussed the next itinerary at the dinner table. After breakfast, Ling Jingxuan Yan Shengrui He and Ling Jingpeng went out, and they have a lot of things to do today.
