The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

The next day, Yuan Chun rolled up his bed and went home.

The empress who was in charge of handling this matter did not treat Yuan Chun harshly. She specially sent two teams of eunuchs and maids to dispatch a luxury carriage to "respectfully send" Yuan Chun back.

After Yuanchun entered the mansion, as soon as he saw Jia's mother, he shed tears, and then there was the cry of children and family members in the house.

Jia Lian came here in time, and when he heard the cries in the room hadn't stopped, he stood in the courtyard and stared at a grass in front of the wall in a daze.This grass grows interestingly, and now the spring breeze is blowing, ordinary grass just sprouts and turns green, but this one has grown five inches high, the plant is tall and straight, a bit delicate.

Jia Lian walked over and pulled it out, only to find that the thing in his hand was a woody plant.

The grass is just about to germinate, and the tree grows first, which is a bit interesting.

Jia Lian took a look at the seedling he had uprooted, and it looked familiar, it seemed to be a flowering one, but he couldn't figure out what kind it was.

"Second master?" Jingxin came out of the house with red eyes, and saw Jia Lian in front of the courtyard wall at a glance, and walked over with a faint smile on her lips, "What are you doing?"

"I thought it was a grass, so I pulled it out." Jia Lian showed Jingxin with one hand, and raised the other hand, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'm crying, so you have to cry too, don't you?"

Jing Xin pursed her lips and nodded, her eyes fell on the grass.She already knew about the second master's love for farmers, so Jing Xin was not surprised that he came here to pull weeds.She glanced at what Jia Lian was holding, took it over and looked at it carefully, "Isn't this a lotus?"

"Ah, yes, it's Mu Furong, no wonder it looks familiar." Jia Lian sighed.He does not have research on all flowers, and generally only pays attention to those common ones that often appear in the market.

"It's only early spring, it's really fresh to grow so tall." Jingxin exclaimed.

"Indeed, by the way, how is the situation in the house?" Jia Lian asked.

Jingxin: "I'm still crying. The old lady hasn't seen her for many years, and she can't stop her tears. The second wife is even more crying than anyone else, but she looks really sad. Not to mention Baoyu, the whole person They are all listless, I heard that some of his maids died suddenly."

"This mother and son are very sad." Jia Lian sighed casually, suddenly remembered something, and asked Jingxin, "Is her place arranged?"

"Not yet, the eldest lady depends on what the old lady and the second wife want," Jingxin explained, "Maybe the second wife wants to take the eldest sister to live in the east of the mansion!"

"Don't look at what it means, you just go and send someone to tidy up the old lady's side room, and let her stay here." After Jia Lian gave Jingxin instructions, someone from that side came to invite Jia Lian.

Jing Xin glanced at Jia Lian, wondering if she should go with him, Jia Lian smiled and shook her head at her: "I'm here to quarrel, so you can forgive me, and help me to do what I told you earlier."

Jing Xin nodded and gave Jia Lian a grateful look.She knew that the purpose of Jia Lian's arrangement was to save her from being caught in the middle, and she had to be more careful as a daughter-in-law in this family.There are two levels of mother-in-law above, and it's better for her to pretend that she doesn't know about some things, so as not to be splinted.

When Jia Lian entered the room, he saw many idlers waiting to be sent out by Jia's mother.This posture is clear at a glance, and he will be held accountable again.After all, Yuan Chun was well taken care of in the palace, and suddenly came back with such an order, they must want to ask for a reason.

When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Lian, her tears became more violent, she sobbed loudly, and her face was extremely dark.

Yuan Chun sat beside Jiamu, crying uncontrollably, blaming himself for not living up to expectations.She stayed in the palace for a long time and came back, not to mention that she didn't earn face for the family. If she couldn't get married again, she might also embarrass the family.

After Jia Lian saluted briefly, he sat down first, with Jia Zheng next to him, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang opposite.Jia Amnesty had caught a cold these two days and had a little cough, so he didn't come to join in the fun.

Jia Lian glanced at Yuanchun, she was looking at herself.When he also looked over, Yuan Chun immediately dodged and lowered his head.Judging by her reaction, it seems that she has a lot of doubts and concerns about herself.It is estimated that if she hadn't helped her solve the rice pole incident last time, she would hate him very firmly now.

interesting.

"I have to leave first." Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Lian, and immediately got up to leave.He really couldn't bear to show off in front of him as his nephew, who was Lord Marquis.

"Lian'er, you have been busy for the past two days until late at night. I didn't have a chance to ask you carefully. It's rare that you are free today. Let's talk about your eldest sister." Jiamu wiped the corners of her eyes. tears, and said to Jia Lian in a pleasant manner.

"Go ahead."

Jia Lian was wondering what Jia Mu meant when Mrs. Wang, who was opposite, couldn't wait to speak.

"You often walk around in the court, so you should know some news. Why did this good-looking emperor 'reward' your elder sister to go home?"

"It's a good thing for the elder sister to go home, and the second aunt also said that this is a reward, why bother to investigate the reason, isn't it good to enjoy Long En!" Jia Lian glanced at Mrs. Wang calmly, and smiled lightly.

This smile was seen by Madam Wang, so it was full of ridicule.

Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes, exerted strength secretly in her heart, and also exerted strength in her hands. She had already cursed Jia Lian's eighth-generation ancestor secretly, but on the surface she was honest and silent.

Seeing Mrs. Wang like this, Jia's mother was a little dissatisfied with Jia Lian. The child's attitude towards his second aunt seemed to be getting more and more arrogant, "Lian'er! I also want to know what your second aunt asked."

"This decree was made by the queen mother, and I don't even know what the queen mother is like." Jia Lian paused, thinking of Jingxin, and then said, "Don't doubt Jingxin, her mother has never even entered the palace gate these days. .”

Jia Mu stared blankly at Jia Lian, paused for a while, and wondered very puzzled: "Then what's going on, well, why did you suddenly call her out? You haven't reached your age yet, and your eldest sister is not in the palace yet." Has offended anyone. Even if offended, it is reasonable to say that she would not leave the palace early, and it is the first time that she has been pardoned and returned home like this, so it is really rare."

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't intend to explain any more, Jia's mother didn't want to ask more questions because she had no basis, so she turned to Yuan Chun and asked her to think again, "Have you encountered anything special recently, but you didn't pay attention to it?" Arrived?"

Yuan Chun shook his head.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang raised her hand to beckon Yuan Chun to come to her, and then quietly wiped away her tears.Seeing his mother suffering so badly, Yuan Chun blamed himself even more and began to cry.

Jia Lian rubbed his temples.

Jia's mother looked at the two of them, and remembered what Mrs. Wang had reminded herself before, so she couldn't help but asked Jia Lian: "Lian'er, I heard that you have recently played a book to help the emperor find a good way to attract the attention of the emperor. Your Majesty is full of praise?"

"The strawberry matter is not a big deal." Jia Lian replied curtly.

Seeing Jia Lian's attitude, Jia's mother knew that the rumors were true. The emperor must have praised Jia Lian, "Then you thought of such a good way, the emperor didn't bother to reward you?"

"I want a reward," Jia Lian's words attracted the attention of everyone in the room, he took a breath, and continued, "I declined."

"Why?" Mrs. Xing couldn't help asking, she really didn't understand what was going on in the mind of those who had gifts but didn't want them.

"I have been promoted one after another before, and I have become the first young Marquis in this dynasty. What do you want me to add? Everyone should understand the principle of a big tree attracting wind. The seedlings would be snapped off by the strong wind before they grow vinegar! Of course, if the wind is strong enough, they might be lucky enough to be uprooted.”

Uprooted……

These words are like a gust of cool wind sweeping the spine of the listener.Jia Lian clearly said that he was unlucky, and Rongfu would be unlucky.

"Bah bah, what are you talking about, we must all have a good time."

Jia's mother frowned for a long time. Although she was very unwilling that Jia Lian was not rewarded again, Jia Lian's words were not unreasonable. This child is still young, and he is already very eye-catching in his current position. How jealous is he? If he is being arrogant , I'm afraid it will be really dangerous.

"You really have nothing to do with the Queen Mother's decree?" Jia's mother was still not reconciled.

"I'm only sure of one thing. I didn't ask for the decree. As for whether it's because the emperor or the queen mother suddenly remembered me, and then Enze went to the eldest sister, I can't guarantee it." Jia Lian neither admitted nor denied it, only told the truth, of course it was Just part of the truth.

When Jia's mother heard the words, she decided that Jia Lian had admitted that he hadn't done it, so she waved her hand and sent Jia Lian to go.The child has come to this point, probably it has nothing to do with him, maybe Yuan Chun came home for another reason.As long as it wasn't done by Lian'er, it can't be said, it can only be said to be God's will.

Before Jia Lian left, he specially said to Jia's mother: "The old ancestor and the elder sister have not seen each other for many years. This time you and the grandson and grandson should have a good reunion when you come back. I have arranged for Jingxin to clean up the wing room, and I will let the elder sister Here to accompany you well. As for the others, it is easy to say, the eldest sister is still young."

Jia's mother understood Jia Lian's hint, her eyes lit up, she smiled and praised Jia Lian and his daughter-in-law for their thoughtfulness, and she nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and stared at Jia Lian with complicated eyes, but she couldn't express her hatred in thousands of words.Her son had already been brought up by Mother Jia, and the daughter who finally came back had to stay away from her and follow Mother Jia.why why……

Mother Jia hugged Yuan Chun in her arms for a while, then ordered Bao Qin to accompany her girl to rest.

At this moment, Jingxin has asked someone to take care of Yuanchun's room. According to Yuanchun's talent, he specially set up many elegant decorations in the house. He also heard that Yuanchun loves to read and practice calligraphy, so he also asked someone to arrange it in the second room. I built a neat and exquisite small study room, and prepared a few antique calligraphy and paintings for decoration.But this morning it was still cold in spring, and Jing Xin ordered the maid to get a white fox fur blanket and spread it on the bed.

Just when Yuanchun came back, Jingxin smiled and pulled her into the house to look at the layout of the house, "Is there anything you are not satisfied with? If so, the eldest sister must tell her younger siblings, don't be polite, I am thick-skinned, so I am not afraid of others saying And me."

Yuan Chun smiled warmly, looking around the room, the incense burner was emitting light smoke, the smell was faint and very pleasant.There are two pots of orchids by the east window, and a pot of orchids in full bloom by the west window. One has many branches and is covered with pink and purple flowers. Each flower is one inch in size and has five pieces. Flat open.Although it is not as complicated as the peony, it is really rare for this flower to bloom in this season.

"What kind of flower is this? Could it be a kind of plum blossom, but I've never seen it before." Yuan Chun asked curiously.

"It's called Ririchun, also called periwinkle. It came from Tianzhu, and it's very easy to raise. As long as it is kept alive, it can bloom all year round." Jia Lian stopped at the door and answered smoothly. .

Jing Xin nodded and smiled, "Ask him quickly, he knows best."

Yuan Chun wanted to chat with Jia Lian a long time ago, so he invited him in.

Jia Lian still stood where he was, "I guess you came here to ask me something, and I'll leave after I've answered, and I won't stay any longer."

Jing Xin hurriedly explained to Yuan Chun: "This room can be regarded as the eldest sister's boudoir, he probably dare not enter casually."

"Family, what do you care about? The house is full of servants, women, and younger brothers and sisters here. Are you afraid that I will eat you up? When did you become so strict in etiquette and etiquette? Daughters-in-law are not as particular as you are." Yuan Chun laughed and scolded, and forced Jia Lian to come in.

Jia Lian nodded and took two steps in.

Yuan Chun stared at Jia Lian seriously: "Although what happened that time... Anyway, thanks to you asking for help."

"Sister, you're welcome." Jia Lian replied.

"Then... did you do this when I came back?"

"Yes." Jia Lian explained truthfully. He looked at Yuan Chun's expression from astonishment to bewilderment, and finally seemed to be a little annoyed.

"Why?" Yuan Chun paused for a long time before pursing his lips with tears in his eyes and asking.

"It's a very simple truth." Jia Lian looked at Yuan Chun who was getting more and more wronged, his expression was still cold, "People are selfish, and so am I. You in the palace happen to be a dangerous existence to me, so I will take care of you." Potential hazards have to be weeded out to pull you out of there."

"Because I blocked your way? Why? What's wrong with me, a female official in the deep palace who doesn't care about world affairs?" Yuan Chun asked excitedly. Seeing that Jia Lian didn't answer, she became even more anxious, and turned her back tears.

Jing Xin hurriedly pushed Jia Lian out, saying that it was enough for her to coax her here.

Jia Lian nodded at Jingxin and said goodbye.He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, his emotions were not disturbed at all.Instead, the pot of periwinkle flowers suddenly appeared in his mind, and there were four pots in his house.Thinking of Daiyu's side, he asked someone to move a pot carefully.Daiyu likes to lament the fall of flowers, this periwinkle blooms all year round, so it is just enough for her to understand the reason why this flower blooms and fades.

Yuan Chun was wronged enough by himself, and only laughed through tears under Jingxin's persuasion.

"Elder sister, think about it carefully. The second master is not a person with no connections. If he really regarded you as a stone blocking the way, how could he take so much trouble to invite you back to this house. The flowers, and the things in this house He has spent all his time on the arrangement. If he didn't really care about you, how could he have made it to this point! Besides, he only bought his sister back home at the price of his future in the official ranks. What is he planning? I hope eldest sister can leave the palace in peace and live a normal woman's life. What's going on in the palace and what will happen in the future, my sister has lived in the palace for so long, I don't need to say more, you know it very well in your heart." Jingxin said while standing by the window, touching the petals of periwinkle with her hands.

Yuan Chun's eyes then fell on the flower.Everyday spring, periwinkle flowers, the four seasons are like spring... This implied that Jia Lian really put his heart into it.

Yuan Chun stopped crying, looked around the room, and went down to look at the arrangement of the anteroom with the support of Jing Xin, with such care and thoughtfulness, it can be seen that the second brother and his wife treated her sincerely.Now that she is back home, she has become Miss Qianjin, enjoying the service of others to the fullest, no need to look at anyone's face, no need to serve carefully, and no need to worry about her own life in danger.

After all, it is better to be at home, casual and comfortable, and the living conditions are ten times better than those in the palace.No matter how rich and prosperous the palace was, it was not as rich as a little female official like her.Everything must be done according to the rules, everything must be done according to the rules, everything must be done according to the eyes of others... Why do I have to do this!

"I understand your painstaking efforts, but I'm already old now, in my 20s, a decent old lady who came out of the palace, who would—"

"Sister, don't say that. You are at a good time now. You are young and beautiful, and you are trained under the meticulous rules of the palace. Who would not like it? I can't guarantee that there are others in the noble circle of the capital. But there are quite a few men of the right age who are short of wives. As long as the elder sister wants to, she will get married if she says she wants to, so what are you afraid of." Jingxin laughed.

Yuan Chun was surprised, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. I've inquired about it. As long as the eldest sister wants to marry, it's easy to talk about. And even if the eldest sister doesn't want to marry, we don't need your food in our family. As long as the second master and I are around If anyone dares to chew their tongues, I will be the first to take her out and feed her to the dogs!" Jingxin tilted her head and stared fiercely.

Yuan Chun chuckled, holding Jing Xin's hand, he was very moved, and told her many grievances he had suffered in these years.

After listening quietly, she couldn't help wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The life in this palace is really not for people, big sister, it's right for you to come back."

"Isn't that right? Now that you've persuaded me, I've figured it out. It's a blessing for me to be able to come back at this time. I won't talk about the age of the emperor, and I heard that his temperament is a bit weird!" Yuan Chun smiled. A word of complaint, I shed more tears, but they were all tears of emotion.This family no longer needs her to strive for glory and add luster to the lintel, so why not just go back to the youngest daughter's house, how easy it is.

Seeing that she had figured it out so quickly, Jingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.Yuan Chun is also worthy of being a virtuous woman with both talent and virtue. She really has intelligence that ordinary people don't have. Jingxin likes to get along with her like this.

The two chatted for a long time like this, and finally became close friends who talked about everything.

……

After half a day's work, Yuan Chun had another understanding of Jia Lian's actions.She felt that Jia Lian took the responsibility on herself for her own sake, and she used any sarcastic remarks that got in the way as an excuse, because she didn't want her to blame herself, but sacrificed himself.This act of self-sacrifice only for the good of others really made her feel sad and moved.It's just a cousin, although I really doted on him when I was young, but he is still inferior to Baoyu, it's rare that he bothers to think about himself so much.Yuan Chun really didn't know how to thank him.

After Yuan Chun washed his face, he took a short rest and was invited to Fudong's mother's place.Now going from Xijiaomen to the east of the mansion is really troublesome, and you have to take a soft sedan chair.My mother used to live in Rongxi Hall, so she probably couldn't bear it when she first moved in.But turning around and thinking about it, the title of this family was originally inherited by the uncle, and now with the addition of Jia Lian as a marquis, it is reasonable for Rongxitang to live in the eldest house, and the second room should have nothing to complain about.

When he arrived at Mrs. Wang's courtyard, Yuan Chun heard his mother's call from a distance, crying.She cried quite a few times throughout the morning, and now she really didn't want to cry any more, but seeing that her mother still couldn't stop crying, it was hard to make her lonely, so Yuan Chun reluctantly shed a few tears.

Entering the house, Mrs. Wang grabbed Yuanchun and put her on the kang. After paying attention to her for a while, she began to chatter endlessly about trivial matters in the family, condemning the big house for every one of them, almost invariably scolding Jia Lian.

In the end, Mrs. Wang brought the matter up to Yuan Chun, and she hated it even more, "Stay well in the palace, and you will be able to get the favor of the emperor, but such an accident happened. Hmph, I don't know what to say , I don't believe his excuses, he must be behind the scenes and framed you! Poor my precious daughter, just when she was about to make her family proud, she was forced out of the palace by him."

Mrs. Wang touched Yuan Chun's face with tears in her eyes, and looked at her pitifully, with a distressed look on her face, "What should I do now, my good daughter was sent home at such an old age. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pick Mr. Ruyi. Your second Lian brother has ruined your whole life!"

The previous words are fine, but when it comes to her body, Yuan Chun feels that everything has changed, especially when her mother mentions that she is old, Yuan Chun can't believe that these words come from his own mother of.She doesn't mind whoever said that, but her biological mother would look down on her now.And the second brother and his wife have always encouraged her and helped her find out the way out. Even if they can't get married, they are willing to be her support all the time.But when it came to his biological mother, Mrs. Wang, she actually disliked her so much...

Yuan Chun lowered his head sullenly, and didn't say anything, let alone listen to every word Mrs. Wang said next.

Mrs. Wang is still completely ignorant of her thoughts, focusing on describing Jia Lian's evil deeds in front of Yuan Chun over the past few years.

Even though Mrs. Wang described herself and smeared others in words, Yuan Chun was unwilling to believe it.After so many years of being cautious in the palace, she can still clearly distinguish who is good and who is bad.

Before dinner, Yuan Chun came out of Mrs. Wang in a daze, with a sullen expression on his face.But as soon as she sat in the soft sedan chair and stayed alone, tears came down...

Jia Lian ran around a few villages and counties outside Beijing in the afternoon, and intensified the problem of potato cultivation for poor farmers this year.However, he was still worried afterwards, and decided to organize a villager self-inspection team in each village and town, and select a few responsible and smart young people in the village to be responsible for supervising and supervising the potato planting of each household in his village, so as to avoid omissions. household.Another thing is that potatoes with sprouts cannot be eaten, and I still have to emphasize it many times.After all, the communication technology in ancient times was underdeveloped, and it was easy to spread rumors and distort things, so Jia Lian had to emphasize many things again and again.

Jia Lian tried to arrange these as efficiently as possible, and asked his subordinate Cheng Shuliang to visit the remaining villages and counties as he did today.

Jia Lian finally set off for Beijing with peace of mind.Coincidentally, on the way back, the wheels of the carriage he was riding in got stuck in the mud.

Officially, there was no rain in the past two days, and there was a mud pit in the middle of Tian'er Road on a good day, which is really intriguing.

After Jia Lian got out of the car, he was pursing his lips and pondering, when he heard the chaotic sound of horseshoes behind him.
