[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Coming out of Mrs. Xing's upper room, Jia Yan was obviously much more relaxed. Whether it was He Fengyi or Wen Fengyi, they could see her relaxation at first sight.

The acquisition of sweet potatoes to make wine will start at least in the second half of the year, and now we only need to prepare money.

This is something Jia Amnesty can only do.

To buy those farming villages, you must first choose a place.Locust larvae, commonly known as grasshoppers, like warm and dry places, especially those sandbars, that is, islands with sediment in the middle of the river, which are the breeding grounds for them.

It would be better if these sandbars have enough vegetation. If the sand is directly exposed to the sun, it is definitely the first choice for grasshoppers to lay eggs and reproduce.

However, it is extremely convenient to get water in this kind of sandbar land, especially for chicken and duck farms, the water used to clean the breeding room can be taken directly, saving time and effort, not to mention, when the chickens and ducks are raised, those eggs and the like , You can also directly ship by water, which is more convenient and reliable than land, and the loss caused by transportation will be greatly reduced.

In the plan, Jia Yan emphasized the benefits of the sandbar.

In fact, although most people know that sandbars are made of silt, there is always a layer of pebbles or river sand on the surface of these sandbars, so they cannot be cultivated at all unless they are cleaned up.

In other words, the price of buying sandbar land in the middle of the river is actually not very expensive.

In addition, the fields on both sides of the river are fine. If the embankment is well done, it will be a thousand things, but if it is a sandbar in the middle of the river, what if there is a wet season or a flood?

Of course, this can be seen from the vegetation on the sandbar.Those sandbars with little vegetation are often the kind that are submerged by the river during the wet season, so the price is not very expensive, and they can even be given away for free.If there are sandbars with small trees and a lot of vegetation, they will not be easily submerged by the river, and there are often people who have planted crops on them. Now it is February, and I am afraid it will take a little effort to buy them.

However, only Jia Amnesty can do this kind of thing.

Jia Amnesty not only did it himself, but also took away Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Chang and Jia Ling.

Because Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are Xichun's nephews, they often come to pay their respects, so people in the Rongguo Mansion are familiar with them, but when it comes to Jiachang and Jia Ling, Tanchun Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu You Sanjie and others I'm afraid they are all unfamiliar.

Jiachang and Jialing are also close branches of the Jia family. Every time the Jia family worships their ancestors, they are responsible for laying the carpet in the ancestral hall.

Although they are the fourth generation, they are older than Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, because they spread blankets every time they worship their ancestors, and their identity is naturally different from others, so they are quite proud of themselves. Ken bowed his head to please Mrs. Wang.

If it was in the original book, after Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, they might change their course due to their livelihood and the power of Mrs. Wang, but now, Jia Yuanchun's concubine is nowhere to be seen, and Mrs. Wang is still a stigma. How can you be willing to please Mrs. Wang and praise the stinky feet of Mrs. Wang's house servants?

Therefore, it was because of their usual attitude of standing on Jia She's side that they favored Jia She, and this time when Jia She went out to buy Zhuangzi's land, he brought the two of them along with Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.

Jia She is the head of Rongguo Mansion. When he went out, Mrs. Xing was cowardly and timid, and Jia Yan was a girl and a junior, so Mrs. Wang naturally trembled again.

Although Jia Yan holds the truth in many things, unless it is a major event related to the future of the family or related to Jia Amnesty, in order to protect the family and father, Jia Yan can speak. It's really not easy to argue with Mrs. Wang face to face.

Therefore, since Jia Amnesty started going out frequently, Jia Yan avoided Mrs. Wang, and followed Mrs. Xing to greet Jia's mother in the morning. Mrs. Xing got up together, and she came back with her.

Not only her, but also Lin Daiyu, Xichun, You Sanjie and others.

Naturally, in this way, only Jia Baoyu, Tanchun and Xue Baochai were left among the juniors in front of Jia Mu.

Even if Wang Xifeng's hot meeting came, she couldn't stop Jiamu from feeling empty and desolate in front of her.

On this day, when Jia's mother was taking a nap, Tanchun and Xue Baochai came to the East Courtyard hand in hand, and first went to the upper room to salute and say hello to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing also knew that these two were looking for Jia Yan, so she didn't say much, just said a few polite words, and then reckoned that Jia Yan had packed up, and then let them go.

When Tanchun and Xue Baochai came to Jia Yan's courtyard, they saw Jia Yan, Lin Daiyu, Xichun and Third Sister You all in Jia Yan's flower hall.

This flower hall turned out to be the West Wing in the courtyard. Because the founding emperor of this dynasty was a fan of Han and Tang Dynasties, Han and Tang style houses were indispensable in the palace. Naturally, many powerful families followed suit.

Take this flower hall as an example, it is three uninterrupted rooms, with earth dragons underneath, and a good paulownia floor.When it is cold, you can hang curtains and thick felts, and then burn the ground dragon to keep the heat from the soles of the feet to the heart.When the weather is hot, put ice mirrors in the house, and then hang Xiangfei bamboo curtains, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of colorful flowers in the center of the courtyard.

More importantly, the yard is full of vines such as wisteria and female dill, which wither naturally when it is cold, allowing the sunlight to shine directly on the corrugated roof, and covering the roof tightly when it is hot. It is more useful than most insulation facilities.Moreover, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and elegant, so it is naturally very popular with wealthy families.

As soon as Tanchun and Xue Baochai came in, they saw Jia Yanlin, Daiyu Xichun and Third Sister You sitting or leaning or lying around the big book table in the middle, and they laughed immediately: "Second Sister is so comfortable here!"

Jia Yan got up quickly, the sisters had met each other and sat down, Fang said: "What's the matter, it's just that my aunt sent a book to Sister Lin, I think the notes on this and that are rare, so I'm copying them here. As for the fourth younger sister, she is thinking about the courtyard she wants to paint."

Xue Baochai said, "Does Third Sister You want to copy books too?"

Third Sister You waved her hands again and again, and said: "Sister Bao, don't make fun of me. I only know a few words. If you want me to learn those words, you might as well kill me! What's more, I don't have a brother in my family. I don't need to give up my heart. It's just because my sister is in this mansion now, so I went to Junjun Niangniang to grab some snacks and give myself a long face. In the future, I was also instructed by two female officials of Fengyi .”

The speaker has no intention of listening, and the listener does, not only Tanchun, but even the young Xichun couldn't help but glance at Xue Baochai, let alone Xue Baochai himself.

No, Xue Baochai has an older brother!It's just that he was spoiled, and he was already a fifteen or sixteen-year-old adult, but he didn't even know right from wrong.

Third Sister You said that she didn't have a brother to worry about, so why didn't she say that Xue Baochai didn't care about her brother's affairs?

The entire family of the Xue family lived in the Rongguo Mansion, especially Xue Pan. According to the national law, he should receive household registration when he was 15 years old, and he still had to pay the adult tax.But the fact is that everyone knows that Xue Pan has not yet received his household registration, so there is no way to talk about the per capita tax.

Behind the scenes, members of the Jia family, even if they were slaves, scolded Aunt Xue for being stupid.This household registration has not been completed yet, so is it that the Xue family is reluctant to pay the poll tax now?Some people also said that Xue Pan is now legally dead, so he has no household registration.There are also those who are mean, saying that the servants of the Xue family are laughing behind their backs that the Lin family is an extinct family, but if Aunt Lin continues to marry, accept concubines, or even adopt one or adopt another, the Lin family will not be able to say that the family is extinct.On the contrary, it is this Xue family, Uncle Xue is sure that he was killed by the resentful spirit, and he is already a dead person according to the law. Therefore, the Xue family is an extinct family.

Although this kind of discussion will not enter the ears of the superiors, it is very popular among the servants below.

Both Xue Baochai and Tanchun are kind-hearted, especially Tanchun, who also has a biological mother who gave birth to a son, so he has heard of such things.

Therefore, hearing Sanjie You say this, Tanchun's first reaction was to go and see Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai lowered her face when she heard this, and said: "In a family like ours, there is no way a younger sister can control an elder brother."
