Chapter 227 The capital is not easy to live in
Jingxian nodded, "Isn't that the case? We have been through hard days. Every day, we just think about how we live our lives. We are so busy. We are not like them, and we will think about it all day long. We are shy and timid in public, knowing how to keep etiquette, but we are intrigue and secretly taking action. It's not that I look down on them, but the girls in our village are much better than them."
When Jinghan heard this, her face turned cold, "What's going on?"
Jingya and the others leaned over, and Jingya said, "Let me say that the flower-watching banquet was held in a garden of the Hou family in Dongping. There was a large lake in the garden, and everyone was traveling on a pleasure boat. Unexpectedly, someone saw Jingxian appearing in the limelight, but he actually reached out to push Jingxian down the lake. Where is our Jingxian a fuel-efficient lamp? He directly pulled that person down the water. As a result, he couldn't steal the chicken and lost rice. The girl couldn't do anything to water and almost drowned."
Speaking of this, the women didn't look very good. Jingxian was their sister, but she almost got hurt. Fortunately, Jingxian followed Jinghan all day long, climbing mountains and rivers, and her water nature was also first-class, so it was okay.
"After that incident, Mingyu was furious and cleaned up the girl's father. He also spoke out. If any family dares to hold another such banquet within three years, just wait and see." Jingxian smiled and said the final result.
Jinghan glared at Jingxian, "Are you still laughing? If someone pushes you, you will fall into the lake? I think it's because I live in the capital, and my kung fu is almost lost, right? Otherwise, she will only fall down and there will be nothing you have to do with you. From tomorrow, I will get up in the morning to practice." Jinghan also knew that Jingxian had to learn a lot now, so there must be some things I can't take care of. But no matter what, my kung fu cannot be lost.
"Second sister, you are too cruel, are you? I'm very busy every day." Jingxian said tricked.
"No matter how busy you are, it is necessary to get up early in the morning to practice exercises. Even if you get married, it will be the same. You are with Mingyu. Your brother-in-law and I have always gotten up in the morning to practice boxing, which means that the period from Qingyuan to confinement was delayed. Later, the child was full of the month, and continued." Jinghan never left the exercise, otherwise she would not be able to bear it if she was so busy.
Several women present looked at Jinghan with admiration. Unexpectedly, Jinghan didn't even give up his kung fu when she got married. "Second sister, you are so awesome. You have to be busy with so many things and can still hold on to practicing martial arts."
Jingya and Jingwan quickly changed the topic. They were not good at it. "By the way, Jinghan, this time you came to the capital, you can meet a few merchants. They wanted to sell the tweed fabric in the south. They were struggling here for a long time, but I didn't dare to agree to them. I was confused about how much cloth you could produce here."
Jingya's shop is now known to everyone in the capital. Many merchants want to purchase goods from here and take them back to the south for sale, but Jingya just doesn't spit, and they have no choice. Jingya also understands that she should take advantage of this momentum to expand the transaction. But she is not easy to make decisions, so she says that Jinghan can come recently and can talk to Jinghan at that time.
"Sister, my brother-in-law is an official in the court. You are not talking about business with others yourself, right?" Jinghan glanced at Jingya.
"You think I'm stupid? You show up in business and let people know that it's so great? The Yue family is in this industry, and there are many capable people. My father-in-law sent several big managers, so how can I come forward? This time, I just said that the boss of the weaving workshop happened to come to the capital and I will recommend it to you." Jingya gave Jinghan a blank look. She has been lying around for many years and can't even understand this matter?
Jinghan then felt relieved and said with a smile, "This is almost the same. Cultivate more capable managers and let them come forward if you have any questions. Okay, I will talk to Changshun and Chang'an about this matter and let them meet the merchants. However, this year, I guess they can only put about 5,000 horses outside, and you must keep more here."
"That's good. I'm afraid that if you give them too much, I won't have it here. You have to know that this is not my shop alone. Sister-in-law, Jingwan and Jingxian have all the members. Our pocket money in the capital is all pointing to this shop. In this capital, it sounds nice, and spending money is like flowing water. If there is no income, just point to your brother-in-law and their salary, and the whole family will not be able to drink the northwest wind?" Jingya complained.
Xiuyun and Jingwan next to him nodded quickly, "That's not the case, this money is really heartbreaking. But there is no way. If you don't spend money, will you eat? Do you wear clothes? Even the firewood is bought with money." Jingwan said with some pain. "I really miss the days at home. What can I eat to pick in the fields? Some firewood is burning firewood. How is it like now?"
Jinghan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and spoke helplessly, "I said, sister-in-law, sister, Jingwan, can you use your brain? Last year, the four of you could earn at least 100,000 taels of woolen fabric and wool, right? Not to mention there is a ready-to-wear shop. Why do you keep it with you for so much money? There is land around the capital, so Mingyu will help you buy a farm and then find someone to take care of it. This year, not only can there be food and food in the mansion be there, but there is still a lot left. Moreover, the things from your own farm are more at ease than buying." Jinghan was speechless. The money she earned last year had already bought a farm, and this year she also planned to build a farm.
Jingya and the others looked at each other, and were a little stunned. Then Jingxian was the first to react and clapped her hands, "I'll say, as soon as my second sister comes, there will definitely be a good idea. Look, how simple it will be solved?"
Xiuyun and Jingya also patted their foreheads, "Isn't that true? Why didn't we think about this? Buying a farmhouse can be considered as buying an asset. In addition, it can also provide food and food in the mansion. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? Why don't we have the brain of Jinghan?"
Jinghan snorted, "You don't have that brain. You have come to the capital and forgot that you came from a farmer. If our father had money, he would guarantee that he would buy land."
In fact, this is not a fault for Jingya and the others. When Jingya and Jingwan were at home, they didn’t do much about farm work, but they just helped in spring plowing and autumn harvest. Later, when there were people at home, they didn’t have to do these things. Xiuyun’s father was a master, and she was even a person who didn’t even know how to do farm work. Among these, Jingxian had worked, but she hadn’t gotten married and married a prince, so she didn’t have to worry about these things at all. So these people didn’t think about it at all.
"Second sister, please don't be angry? We are indeed a little forgetful of our roots." Jingwan held Jinghan's hand and said carefully.
"Jingwan, I'm not angry. I just think that if we continue like this, will our children understand the hardships we suffered in the future? It's almost done if they were born, not to mention soaking in honey jars. Will they understand how the food is grown in the future?" Jinghan expressed his concerns.
"The Xu family has just come out of the village to our generation. It's not a famous family, let alone aristocratic families. The road ahead is still long. It's not only about agriculture, but also about family. Only by mastering the land in your hands is the foundation. Farming and reading are not just empty talk, you have to do it. Buy some land, and take the children to see it in spring and autumn. Let the children experience it. Eating the vegetables and grains they planted by themselves is a very happy thing." Jinghan smiled, remembering her past days on the mountain.
"Yes, this is what we should do. We are originally from farmers, so why should we be afraid of people saying that we are? What's wrong with farmers? If there were no farmers who worked hard, those dignitaries would not starve to death?" Jingya was the first to agree with Jinghan's words, but there was a hint of bitterness in that tone. I think there was also some bitterness that was not worthy of being told by outsiders when I was in the capital.
"Yes, it should be like this. In the past, we were a little distorted. We thought that those who enjoyed flowers and tea with those officials would be accepted by them slowly, but did they still say that we were from mud legs? We simply ignored those people and lived our own lives as long as we lived comfortably. We had to discuss this matter carefully. Buying land is a big deal, and we had to think about it slowly." Jingwan agreed.
Jinghan also understood in his heart that Wen Han and Pengcheng had no foundation in the capital, but were able to be with the emperor. This is a chore that many people jealous of. In addition to the marriage between Jingxian and Mingyu, the people in the capital still don’t know how to discuss behind the scenes. I think Jingya and the others’ lives in the capital are not easy, right?
Besides, in this capital, all kinds of officials are like crucian carp trees. To put it bluntly, throwing a brick on the street can hit several fifth-rank officials, not to mention sixth-rank and seventh-rank officials. Wen Han and Peng Cheng are invisible in the capital. So what about Jingya and Xiuyun? Even if they really go to a banquet, no one will take them seriously.
Even Jingxian, isn’t it that someone dares to push her into the water? Isn’t it because the Xu family is just a farmer and has no background?
Jinghan sighed in his heart. When the emperor released Zixuan as an official, his family was still a little confused. But now it seems that it may not be as good as the capital outside. At least in Zhendong County, Zixuan is the boss, and no one dares to disrespect him. Similarly, no one dares to bear Jinghan's anger.
