Chapter 1051
The bright and tidy farmyard and main room, the somewhat reserved but enthusiastic farmhouse wife, and the ignorant, innocent and well-behaved children all make people feel good about this family.
Qixun felt a little regretful about the souvenirs she had just prepared, as they were a little small.
She felt that the souvenir was a bit stingy, so she sat down to talk to Mr. Wu and his son.
Over there, Mrs. Wu sent her eldest daughter-in-law to collect the gift boxes in the house, and asked her younger daughter-in-law to serve tea to the distinguished guests, while she went to the kitchen to prepare the banquet.
After a while, the eldest daughter-in-law ran to the kitchen and said to Mrs. Wu: "Mom, I just opened the gift box given by the young nobleman and looked at it. It is too expensive. Our family just accepts it, right? Very good?”
Mrs. Wu was stunned after hearing this. The things the nobles offered were not bad, but if they were too valuable, they really couldn't accept them.
“What's in it?”
"A box contains six sets of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and six zodiac silver rings with strings. Each of the silver needles must weigh three ounces. It should be for children. Since there are six sets, they are obviously boys and girls. One set for each baby.
In the other box, there is a box of eight kinds of snacks and candies, which look more exquisite than the snacks and candies in the best snack shop in our city. The amount is also quite large, and everything has to be a pound. I looked at everything, and couldn't buy it for even two taels of silver.
My daughter-in-law doesn't understand pens, inks, paper, and inkstones, but it's obviously good stuff, much better than what our family usually buys for the kids.
Not counting the six sets of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, just the six zodiac silver coins and the eight kinds of snacks and candies, it costs dozens of taels of silver. This, we just accept it? "
Mrs. Wu was also in trouble for a while.
Things given by nobles may be politely said to be souvenirs, but they are just rewards. I have already given you this, but if you push it back, wouldn't it mean that you have lost the noble man's face? What if the noble man gets angry?
After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Wu said: "It's impossible to send it back. But our family doesn't have anything else good to give as a gift. In this way, no one will taste the winter dates in our family and say it's not good, and call the boss later. Beat some down and give him a gift in return when he leaves. Then kill a chicken and bring ten more eggs, plus the fish and meat your father bought, and we'll make some dinner."
The eldest daughter-in-law nodded repeatedly: "Okay, listen to mother. Hey, mother, to be honest, those pens, inks, papers and inkstones are top-notch good things from my daughter-in-law's point of view. Our children need to use them. It's my maternal nephew." My children have no use for such good things when they are studying. I really don't want to send them back.
Don't worry, mother, even though I have taken advantage of the little nobleman, I will definitely prepare the table carefully. I will bake a bunch of egg pancakes later. I heard that the three nobles are traveling. When traveling, they will inevitably lack food and drink. Now that the weather is getting colder, the egg pancakes will not be bad for a while, so I will bake them softer. They can also be used as dry food on the road. what do you think? "
Mrs. Wu always knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was a thoughtful person. She smiled and nodded: "Okay, you are thoughtful. Let's do it like this."
This is the best thing I can come up with. Whether a noble person likes something or not depends on his or her own wishes.
Qixun didn't know that the gift he gave had caused trouble to her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She was chatting happily with the old man and his wife, talking about farming matters. Not only the Wu family were surprised, but Yuliuchuan and Fozi also didn't expect that this guy was actually proficient in farming.
Qixun said there was nothing strange about this: "I also come from a farm family. Have you forgotten what my Xiaowu does? Not only does my family have a village in the suburbs of Beijing, but also in my hometown, we have hundreds of acres of fields and nine It's a mountain top. When it comes to farming, I know more than the average person.”
Yuliuchuan and Fuzi heard this and thought, yes, Yan Lingyu is a spiritual planter, doesn't she know how to farm? However, spiritual planters usually grow spiritual plants, right? He is even proficient in earthly farming?
Qixun didn't care what they thought, and asked Mr. Wu and his son if there were any new varieties of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cotton and other crops grown here.
It is hard for the Wu family to believe that this little girl, who looks very noble at first glance, is actually from a peasant family. However, even though she is from a peasant family, they cannot compare with her. After all, she is a monk.
But when it comes to farming, both of them are very excited.
"You have planted it, why haven't you planted it? If it weren't for these high-yielding grains, our life today would not be so good. If we don't talk about anything else, let's talk about cotton. Although the yield here is not as good as that in the south, we can still get a better harvest from one acre of land. , it is no problem to provide clothing and quilts for the whole family. Our family now has its own loom, and the wife and daughter-in-law can also weave cloth. In addition to what they use for their own use, they can also buy the surplus for the government. There is no shortage of food, and after this busy year, we have some surplus money. Our King Yan is a prince who loves the people. He has low taxes and the officials under his rule are clean. Otherwise, we would not be able to send our three children to study.
Little noble man, you are here at the wrong season. There is only winter wheat in the fields right now. If it comes in summer, you can see sweet potatoes, corn and so on. "
Qixun said that it is no wonder that the young prince's biological father is a popular candidate for succession to the throne. He is still very popular among the people.
After chatting about crops and farm tools, the Wu family members praised each other again, saying that farming is much easier now than before. Not only waterwheels and iron plows, but also threshing machines and threshing machines.
In the past, their family farmed thirty acres of land. They usually spent the whole day in the fields, and they were busy all year long with no time to rest. When the farming season is busy, the whole family goes to work together, and they are too busy to work without sleep, which can be very difficult.
Although he is tired now, he is much more relaxed than before. His family has also opened up several acres of land to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops.
Just by looking at the sincere smiles on the faces of the Wu family father and son when they talk about farming, you can tell that they are living a good life now and they are full of gratitude to the court.
Qixun felt very happy in his heart.
At that time, she, her second brother, and Xiaowu worked on the fields and workshops all day long, wasn't it just to make the lives of ordinary people better?
Ten years have passed, and the results are beginning to appear.
It is better to be a dog in the prosperous times than to be a person in the troubled times. For ordinary people, living and working in peace and contentment is the best life.
I only hope that the people of Daxia will always have someone to support their old age, have their children taken care of, have a house to live in, receive medical treatment for their illnesses, have enough food to eat, and not be afraid of warmth or cold.
Having heard from the old man that his family's conditions were above average in the village, Qixun became interested and wanted to go back to the village to see how other families were doing. In fact, she could see clearly with just a sweep of her consciousness, but she preferred to go out and see with her eyes.
Seeing with one's own eyes the joy of the people's happy lives cannot be replaced by a sweep of spiritual consciousness.
