Jia Qiang returned to Ningrong Street under the escort of more than a hundred personal guards. He saw Lin Zhixiao waiting at the door from afar, saying something with Li Yong, the butler of the East Mansion, and gestured with both hands, shook his head and sighed.

Jia Qiang rode his horse close, and asked before he even got off the horse, "What are you saying? You're so excited when you look from afar."

Lin Zhixiao was a little afraid and said after seeing the ceremony: "Marty, the young people are talking about the harvest in the village this year..."

Jia Qiang then remembered and said, "Oh... Yes. I asked all the fields in the two palaces to plant corn, and now it's time to harvest it. What's the harvest this year?"

Lin Zhixiao smiled apologized and said, "I haven't planted it in previous years, so I don't know whether it's good or bad. However, the corn cobs are piled up as high as a mountain. The seven or eight barns built before are not enough. After collecting the grain, three large seats are added, which will be enough. Just look at the harvest, but it is much better than growing corn and wheat. I just don't know whether I eat it or not..."

Corn has flowed into the swallows for many years, but it has not been planted on a large scale because the people's dietary habits are difficult to change.

Especially in the peaceful times, people always stutter. Southern people who are used to eating rice cannot eat barbecue noodles.

People in the north are used to eating the noodles ground from wheat. Even the noodles are thicker than corn flour.

So, so much corn was planted but could not be sold or eaten. Lin Zhixiao's mouth was so anxious that he had bubbled...

Jia Qiang saw this person's anxiety and a little resentment, and smiled and said, "Will it be difficult for you to plant it when you asked you to plant it?" After that, he said to Li Yong: "I paid it together with the money they used to build a barn. Their income has increased by 30% compared to the average annual income in the past three years. Give them the silver." He also said to Lin Zhixiao, who was surprised and said, "Don't move those corns. The court will send people to pick them up in the future. Be careful and watch them, and don't let the rain get it."

Lin Zhixiao smiled repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, the village is counting on selling these grains for the New Year! With the marquis being the master, the young one can explain to the tenants."

Jia Qiang smiled and said nothing more, and was about to go back to the house. However, Lin Zhixiao exclaimed and said, "Oh! The little pig brain almost forgot the serious matter. Marquis, the old lady is welcome!"

Jia Qiang: "..."

...

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

After Jia Qiang came in, he found that the candles in the house were much less than usual. Although it was not dim, it was much lighter than before.

As soon as the light dimmed, Jia Mu looked much older.

In the room, except for Jia Mu, Yuanyang and Li Wan, there were not many nannies and maids serving him.

Seeing this, Jia Qiang frowned slightly. After asking, he said, "Why did you start to be thrifty today?"

Jia Mu sighed and said, "Now there is no investment at home? Should I save money? It's better to be more frugal."

“…”

Jia Qiang was so amused that he said, "Just just asked Li Yong to clean up the silver and send it over. It was three percent higher than the harvest of Xifu in previous years. I planted the corn. Is it of great use? Of course, I won't let Xifu bear the deficit. You, Mr. Feng, have something to say? You set up such a dragon gate formation? It's really interesting."

When Jia Mu heard this, a stone fell to the ground in her heart and smiled on her face. She spat and said, "Bah! I know you will give money? Let the outside plant some of them that cannot be sold and cannot be eaten or eaten, and it will be worth it. Isn't it tight? But your aunt has only taken care of some things outside this year, and this happened. She couldn't sleep for a few days. Look, how much has it been reduced!"

Recommended, the book reading app I have been using recently, [app] has many books, all books, and fast updates!

When Jia Qiang heard this, he went to look at Li Wan, but Li Wan couldn't stand it. He let a man look at this and said shyly: "Oh! Qiang'er, don't look around! It has not been reduced..."

Jia Qiang: "..."

After Li Wan said this, she felt that this was wrong again. She was so anxious that her face turned red and she was at a loss...

She wanted to be more humble, but she didn't expect to say something ambiguous, and she wanted to die for a moment...

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be excited. It's all the old lady who doesn't look at it. I have to say that you have cleared it..."

As he said that, he asked Mrs. Jia again, "But there is nothing else? I will go back without me. You always hurry up and ask someone to light the lamp."

But Jia Mu said, "What's the hurry? I'll ask you, are there anyone around you to serve?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Grandma sent Yindie and fried beans to carry a bucket and pour water or something. I don't need to serve you. I have hands and feet, but I can't survive?"

Jia Mu said angrily: "Is this a matter of not being able to survive? I will use the principle of relieving the body and living in the air to tell you about it?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "If you always say this, I will snatch the mandarin duck back!"

Yuanyang stood behind Jia Mu, glared at Jia Qiang with a fierce look, then blushed and lowered his head.

Sure enough, Jia Mu was still reluctant to leave and changed the topic: "There is another thing. Tomorrow, it will be the baby of Lan. Your aunt wants to go and see. Look, is it cheap?"

Jia Qiang looked at Li Wan after hearing this. This time, Li Wan naturally had too many. Seeing Jia Qiang paying a smile, she said, "Please trouble Qiang!"

Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "That's fine, the aunt will prepare to bring tomorrow night, I'll send you there. But I can only send the things in just the same way as last time, and see them."

Li Wan responded quickly and smiled and said, "It's good to meet, it's good to meet."

Jia Qiang was moved by the heart of a loving mother.

Jia Mu was puzzled: "Why do you have to wait until evening before going?"

Jia Qiang said helplessly: "The impact during the day is not good, so many students are watching... Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, he stopped talking and turned around and left.

Back in the East Mansion, Youshi, and You Sanjie came to tell him about the Xixi Street Guild Hall for a while. He also stared at Yindian, fried beans and fryed beans to get the bucket and hot water, and helped him clean up the house...

No words all night.

...

The next morning.

Jia Qiang got up early and didn't want to go to the front to work hard with his personal soldiers today, so he went to the garden behind.

If the garden built by the Jia family is placed in Jiangnan, it is nothing. It is of top quality, but not top quality.

After all, when salt merchants in Yangzhou build gardens, they really don’t use silver as money.

Even the wealthy people's homes in Jiangnan have built more gardens, which are exquisite and small, and have a great scenery.

Therefore, it would not be surprising if the Jia family's garden was placed in the south of the Yangtze River.

But when this garden is in the capital, especially after late autumn and winter, the main color of gray is the Jia family's garden is really amazing!

Even though it is early winter, there are still green bamboos and green pines and cypresses in the mountains.

There are also fiery red maple forests and golden ginkgo.

Yellow flowers are all over the ground, and white willows are spread across the slope.

Looking southeast, several pavilions built along the mountain.

Looking across the northwest, three pavilions near the water are formed.

Although no one has moved in, the garden is not lonely either.

A few white cranes hovered over the cold pond, and a group of deer ran on the side of the shallow slope.

Along the way, Jia Qiang felt refreshed and happy to see.

After going to Qinfang Pavilion, I looked at the sunrise from the east, as if purple air came from the east, and the spiritual energy was revived...

Thinking about your previous life, it is rare to find a place to settle down in the capital with every effort, and it is even more difficult to get married.

Look in front of you again...

Sure enough, the shortcut to progress in life still depends on time...

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the bamboo bridge not far behind me.

Jia Qiang came to his senses and looked at him sideways, and saw that it was Yingchun and Baochai and others who came together.

Welcoming the spring, we wore a big red orangutan felt cloak, which was bright red and very beautiful.

Baochai was wearing a low-key green satin cloak that was not like the usual low-key green satin cloak, but a red plum cloak embroidered with white fox fur. It was really amazing with her skin Ruoxue.

Baochai didn't want to meet Jia Qiang here. Seeing him looking at him without hiding his eyes, she felt ashamed and regretted wearing the cloak that her brother Xue Panfei gave her.

Yingchun didn't think much about it, looked at Jia Qiang and smiled, "Why is Brother Qiang here?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I'm lazy today and won't go to the front to fight with my personal soldiers. After a day of rest, I want to come to the garden to see. Why did the second aunt and Bao sister come?"

Baochai did not answer, and even lowered her eyes slightly. Maybe it was cold, and there was a light red on her pretty face...

Although Yingchun is a bit rare, Baochai, who has never been rude to others, didn't talk at all today, but she still smiled and said, "We get up early and have nothing to do, and we often love to walk in the garden. In the past, there were three girls, Yun Yatou and the others. Now they are all going to Jiangnan, so I will come and have a walk with Miss Bao. What are you looking at just now?"

Jia Qiang said nonsensely: "The spiritual energy has been revived, and I am absorbing the first ray of purple air from the east from the world."

Yingchun was shocked when she heard this and looked to the east with doubts...

Baochai laughed out loud, raised her eyes, and looked at Jia Qiang in anger, and said, "I'm talking nonsense again!"

Yingchun also reacted and spat: "Brother Qiang is not honest anymore!"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Tell me a joke and make fun of it. Let's go and have a walk together."

The two girls had no other arrangements, so they followed Jia Qiang and walked in.

I got off Qinfang Pavilion, crossed Cuiyan Bridge, and went up the Willow Dike.

Going north along the Liudi, you will find the Ou Xiangxie.

After passing through the water pavilion of Ouxiangxie, I arrived at Qingyezhu not long after I came out.

There were waterways around. When I happened to see a Tangmu Boat moored on the shore, Jia Qiang laughed and said, "You two are here today. Let's go, I'll take a boat to cross you."

Yingchun laughed in surprise and said, "Are you doing it?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you still know too little about me. You need to observe more and discover more."

Yingchun couldn't laugh, and Baochai also used an embroidered handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled.

When he found Jia Qiang standing at the bow of the boat, he gently tapped the bamboo pole, and the boat lined forward smoothly. After a little more, he turned around and returned. It was indeed very stable.
