Chapter 321: Half, that's too much
321 Half, it's too much, it's not that she doesn't want to tell Xia Xiaoju, but the matter of raising seedlings, which had never happened in ancient times. Cheng, if it doesn't work out, it's her fault again, she should do it by herself.
"It's sunny today, I'm all in good spirits, Sister Ziyin, do you think?" Xia Xiaoju looked at Xia Ziyin and asked.
"Yeah." Xia Ziyin responded lightly, her eyes only staring at Xia Beibei, watching the movement of the shovel in her hand, her eyes flashing with unknown light.
She didn't believe that Xia Beibei worked so hard to clear the snow out of the yard, just to move her body and bones, she must be doing something, and she didn't want them to know.
"Ziyin, Xiaoju, are your embroidery finished?" Xia Beibei asked.
"No, but I've already embroidered a few times, and I can definitely sell for a lot of money." Xia Xiaoju felt excited when she thought of her embroidery. Although it wasn't as good as Grandma Sang's, at least she worked by herself. Embroidered in one winter.
Moreover, her mother promised her that as long as she sells her embroidery, she will give her half of the money as private money. No, she had a lot of fun with embroidery last month.
"Sister Ziyin, let's continue to embroider, and let Sister Jiuniang sweep the snow alone."
"Hmm." Xia Ziyin replied and entered the door.
"Xiaoju, what do you think Jiuniang is doing? Why do you have to take the snow out?" In the room, Xia Ziyin's work did not fall, but she was talking to Xia Xiaoju.
"Who knows, maybe there are treasures underground." Xia Xiaoju said jokingly.
Sister Jiuniang did this, naturally she had her own intentions. What is she doing so much? Concentrating on embroidering her own embroidery and selling it at a good price is the most important thing. .
"Does Jiuniang want to grow some vegetables and don't want to tell us?" Xia Ziyin asked tentatively, with a sour taste in her tone.
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoju raised her eyes, blinked her misty eyes, and glanced at Xia Ziyin.
In fact, there was something odd in her eyes, how could Sister Ziyin think so? Even if Sister Jiuniang wants to plant something, isn't it normal not to tell them?
Could it be that Sister Jiuniang has to share everything with them? Why.
This winter, she never understood why Sister Jiuniang never went to Grandma Sang's room to make silk flowers and concentric knots. Now she finally knows, it was because of Sister Ziyin.
Sister Jiuniang is guarding Sister Ziyin.
Although Xia Xiaoju is a country girl, she is not stupid. As long as Xia Ziyin says a word, she can hear the truth.
"I don't know, it doesn't matter what kind of vegetables she wants to grow, it doesn't matter to us anyway." Xia Xiaoju shrugged and said indifferently.
"You don't want to ask?" Xia Ziyin asked.
"I don't want to." Xia Xiaoju shook her head and said directly.
She sighed secretly. Fortunately, last time Ziyin asked her why Sister Jiuniang was hiding in her room, she kept an eye on her and said that she didn't know. If Ziyin knew about it, she thought, would she? Want to learn how to make silk flowers?
Does she want to talk to Sister Jiuniang?
It shouldn't be necessary, if Sister Jiuniang didn't have a plan in her heart, she wouldn't be doing silk flowers in front of Ziyin.
Hey, she remembered that Xia Ziyin was not like this before, now what...
Hearing Xia Xiaoju saying she didn't want to, Xia Ziyin held back all the words in her heart, but she still couldn't help looking out the door.
Sang Jinghong had already listened to Xia Beibei's words and stopped entering the house to embroider, but started to boil water. She could have that time to secretly watch what Xia Beibei was doing.
However, Xia Xiaoju kept staring at Xia Ziyin, but Xia Ziyin didn't notice it.
…
"Master, should we prepare to go back?" Wu Shisan asked softly beside Dongfang Yu.
There are a lot of things in the Wilderness, and the Shizi has to do it. It is impossible to stay here forever. Now that the snow is almost ready, they should pack their bags and prepare to go back to the Wilderness.
"Go on, pack up, and leave tomorrow." Dongfang Yu ordered lightly.
He really can't stay in Xuedu any longer. If he stays with him, I'm afraid some people will have trouble in the wild.
"Yes, sir." Wu Shisan responded immediately.
"Thirteen, are the people who asked you to prepare ready?" Dongfang Yu asked suddenly.
Wu Shisan was stunned for a moment, but then he thought of who Dongfang Yu was asking, "Master Hui, my subordinates have selected two guards, a man and a woman, for the nine girls. They all have experience working with Wu Qi."
"Men?" Dongfang Yu narrowed his black eyes dangerously and looked at Wu Shisan unhappily.
What is Wu Shisan doing? How could he prepare a male bodyguard? Didn't he tell him to only need women? Could it be the back of the ear?
"Uh." Wu Shisan tightened his body and glanced at Dongfang Yu fearfully. The expression on the face of Shizi was really terrifying. Isn't he just a male guard? Do you need to be so strict about robbing your daughter-in-law?
"Yes, a male bodyguard and a female bodyguard, sir, this subordinate discussed it with Wu Qi. He thinks that when doing business outside, it is more convenient to have a man. Moreover, since he is a lucky person, then I wouldn't live in Ninth Girl's house, and I wouldn't..."
Looking at Dongfang Yu's increasingly terrifying black eyes, Wu Shisan's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he pursed his mouth and didn't say anything at all.
I cursed in my heart, Wu Qi, your bastard, killed me.
"Thirteen, the snow is so heavy these days, you haven't moved your muscles for a long time, haven't you?" Dongfang Yu narrowed his black eyes dangerously.
is getting bolder and bolder. Do the guards under his command dare to do anything against him?
"Master, subordinate..."
"Tell me, what kind of person is he?" Dongfang Yu interrupted him and asked.
Maybe Thirteen is right. To do business abroad, you still have to have a man. Arranging a man is not an exaggeration, and he doesn't have to care.
Besides, when winter comes, he will be able to take Belle by his side. At that time, who would dare to be by his side and play Belle's ideas?
"Master Hui, they are the two right-hand men under Wu Qi's hands. Like the Wu Shiqiu sisters, they are also brothers and sisters. They are now in the Snow Capital." Wu Shisan replied immediately.
"Yes." Dongfang Yu nodded, "Go and call Wu Shiqiu and Wu Shiqing in."
"Yes, sir."
…
The snow finally melted, and the whole snow city suddenly became lively. Xiajia Village alone, the fields were filled with cultivators. Xia Beibei asked Xia Jinxiu and Aunt Ji to help them sell the land last year. The villagers who gave it to her were called home.
Of course, except for Er Gazi.
"Juniang, you came to us, what's the matter? Do you want to sell the land back to us?" A man raised his voice when he saw that many people had come.
Last year, after he received the disaster relief silver, he also wanted to come and buy the land back, but it took a lot of money just to buy food and vegetables, not to mention that as soon as the snow melted, he had to go to the town to buy some Seeds, and prepare some food.
The silver in hand is just enough to spend.
In the past, when I had food and vegetables at home, I thought that a few taels of silver could live on for several years. However, this family has no food and no vegetables. It’s really sad. The silver in his hand seems to be blown away by a gust of wind. Yes, it took a few taels to buy something casually.
He didn't have the money to buy the land again.
"Juniang, we don't have the money to buy land." Another woman said quickly.
Although the only remaining fields in the family are enough to grow food, his family does not have any extra money to buy land.
"Hey, I know what it is like to spend money like flowing water. Everything in the house points to those few taels of silver, but it's incredible."
"Juniang, if you have something to do with everyone, just tell me quickly, everyone still has something to work on." Xia Jinxiu said to Xia Beibei when everyone was talking about it.
"My uncles and aunties, in fact, it's not a big problem for Jiuniang to find you. It's just that I have a lot of fields in my hand, and I can't be busy all of a sudden. Go back and plant it yourself." Xia Beibei glanced at everyone and said lightly.
"What? Did I hear it right?"
"We grow our own plants, is there such a good thing?"
"My God, Jiuniang, are you crazy? You must know that many fields may produce a lot of grain. If you sell them, you will have a lot of money."
When the villagers heard Xia Beibei's words, they immediately blew up their nests.
Aunt Ji's face suddenly turned bad, she turned her head and wanted to say something to Xia Beibei, but before she could speak, she heard a man shouting loudly.
"Juniang, if you have any requirements, please tell me quickly."
Everyone is not a fool. Where would there be a white pie in the sky? There must be some requirements. They are not easy to fool.
"Yes, there must be some requirements. If you want money, we don't have it."
"No, that disaster relief silver is enough for our family to eat and drink."
"I, Xia Jiuniang, won't make any excessive demands. There is only one point. The land deed is in my hands. After the grain is grown, I will get half of Xia Jiuniang's." Xia Beibei continued.
"Half, that's too much. We worked hard to farm the land, and in the end, we got half of it for you. Jiuniang, you are too... too snobby." A woman heard her words and immediately quit. .
Why they worked so hard to plant the land, and in the end they gave Xia Beibei half of it. It was too much, so she didn't want to do it.
"Aunt Hua, where's more? You know, this land is now owned by Xia Jiuniang. Even if An Zaicai from the neighboring village rents the land to the villagers, he will get a lot of rent, right? I just want the land. Half of the grain produced is not cash, no matter how high or low the yield in the field is, it is half, is this too much?" Xia Beibei asked the woman who was unwilling just now with a smile.
