Chapter 795: Jealousy
On a July day, the sun was blazing. There was not a single cloud in the sky, nor a single bit of wind. Just a few steps can make people feel too hot.
When they arrived in the backyard, Licorice brought Yuxi a cup of sour plum juice frozen in the well water. After drinking a small half bowl, Yuxi put it down: "This day, it's really hot." "It's not hot, and the way from the front yard to the back yard makes her sweat.
After entering the ear room, Yuxi looked at the corners around him, frowned and asked Mama Quan: "Why didn't you use ice today?" There is a lot of ice hidden in Yunfu in winter, except for the people of Yunfu, there is no problem to support Hanfu.
Quan Mama said: "Liu'er is a little feverish, and she doesn't dare to use ice for her. "I'm afraid that after using ice, my condition will worsen.
Yuxi was startled, and hurriedly walked over and touched Liu'er's forehead, and her body temperature was indeed a little high. After taking care of the two children, Yuxi did not panic, if this situation is taken care of, there is no need to see a doctor for medicine.
However, there is no ice in the ear room, which is a little stuffy. Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "Let Liu'er move to the Bisha cupboard!" It's also that Liu Er is still too young to move the place at will. Otherwise, let her live in the courtyard by the lake, where it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Yes
Mama Quan also had this idea: "I'll move in the afternoon." "It's cool in the house, and the children are less guilty.
At lunchtime, Yuxi and Liu'er ate together. Yunqing has gone to the racecourse, and he won't be back until a few days later.
After lunch, Mama Quan asked Yuxi: "I heard that this year's harvest is better than last year, is it true?" Last year's harvest was very good, and this year is better than last year, indicating that God cares for Yuxi and Yunqing have a good management.
Yuxi smiled and nodded, "It's true." This year's harvest is more than 40 percent more than last year's. "It's not that the yield per mu has increased, but that a lot of land has been opened last year, so the harvest has increased so much compared to last year. But it's also luck, there have been no disasters in the past two years, otherwise there would definitely not be such a good harvest.
With a bumper grain harvest, grain merchants took the opportunity to lower prices, and this year's grain prices were a quarter less than last year's. Yuxi got the news and was furious. Not only were people arrested, but the homes of those grains were also raided.
Since Yuxi took office, he has always acted relatively mildly. This thunderous method shocked many people. The people involved in it this time were also a little panicked.
On this day, the Han government received several letters of worship. Ye was afraid of getting into trouble, so they all retreated. On this day, I received a letter of worship from the family, and after putting the post down, Ye asked the housekeeper Lu's mother: "What's the situation outside now?"
Mother Lu said: "The princess ordered that the two grain merchants led by the princess be beheaded and executed three days later. In addition, the government also posted a notice to set the price of grain. "The government sets a reasonable price for grain, and even if it is not sold to grain merchants, it can be sold to the government. Ordinary people don't have to worry that the food in their hands is worthless.
Ye instructed Lu's mother to return all the things sent by the Xie family, and then went into the backyard and told the Qiu family about the matter.
When Qiu arrived in the northwest, she did not go out to socialize, but she would go to Huaye Temple to worship the Buddha on the fifteenth day of the new year. There are many people who go to Huaye Temple to worship Buddha, and after a long time, Qiu also made friends with a few like-minded people who like Buddhism. Among them, the old lady of the Xie family is one.
After listening to this, Qiu Shi recited: "Amitabha." "Over the years, the Buddha has made the Qiu family more and more kind and compassionate.
Ye said: "Mother, Yuxi killed those two grain merchants to deter the people below. "The reason why I sued the Qiu family about this was because I was worried that Mrs. Xie would intercede with her mother-in-law at that time. The mother-in-law relented and agreed, and it would not end well.
Qiu Shi sighed and said: "Grain is cheap and hurts the people, Yuxi is to protect the interests of farmers, so he will make such a heavy hand." "It's also a housework that has been done for so many years, and I don't understand this.
Ye Shi was relieved to hear this, and said, "Old Madam Xie's maiden nephew is also involved this time. Now he has been arrested by the government and is in prison. β
Qiu Shi glanced at Ye Shi and said, "What is going on outside, where can I interfere with." "Not to mention that she is just a nephew who is good friends with an old lady, even if she is her own nephew, she will not intercede. If it's a household matter, she can say a couple of words. Outside, how can she wipe her hands.
On the day that the two grain merchants were beheaded for public display, Yunqing returned. In fact, he had already gotten the news when he was in Tong County. However, this is Yuxi's decision, he can only support it, where will he oppose it.
Back at home, Yunqing washed from head to foot, washed and shaved again, and then went to see Liu'er. There's no way, the little daughter is so clean, if she doesn't clean it, she won't let him touch it.
Although Liu Er couldn't speak, she was very happy to see Yunqing, who she hadn't seen for a few days. Specifically, take the initiative to open your hands and ask for a hug.
Yunqing picked up Liu'er, touched Liu'er's face and asked, "Why is Liu'er a lot lighter?" When Yunqing was at home, he would hug Liu'er every day, and he would know if it was heavy or light.
Quan Mama said: "It's too hot these days, and the second girl has no appetite." "To put it simply, Liu'er is a bitter summer.
These days, Mama Quan and Mama Bai are racking their brains to cook food for Liu'er. It's a pity that no matter how delicious things are, Liu Er lacks interest. Okay, Liu Er can eat fruit puree. Otherwise, it would definitely be thinner than it is now.
Yuxi was ready to go back to the backyard at lunchtime, only to know that Yunqing was back.
Yun Qing looked at Yu Xi with a look of concern on his face, and asked, "What's the matter? Who has committed the crime?" For those who are restless, Yun Qing only has one word, kill. If you kill too much, that person will naturally be afraid. Some are afraid, so they are honest.
Yuxi glared at Yun Qing and said, "Don't tell me when you come back." If she hadn't gone back to the backyard for lunch, she wouldn't have known that Yunqing was back.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Anyway, if you want to come back for lunch, it's not too late." "It was he who deliberately didn't let Xu Wu tell Yuxi, because if Yuxi knew that he came back, he would definitely leave what he was doing to serve him, and he didn't want Yuxi to work so hard.
Yuxi snorted coldly and said, "If I don't go back to the backyard for lunch, won't I know that you're back?" "Actually, it's not a big deal, but Yuxi doesn't want Yunqing to develop this habit.
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Cheng, next time I come back, I will definitely let someone sue you." After speaking, Yunqing's eyes fell on Liu'er: "Liu'er has lost a lot of weight." β
Yuxi sighed and said, "When the weather cools down in September, this child will be able to be raised." "No one can do anything about the bitter summer.
Yunqing remembered one thing and said, "Before, you said in your letter that Zao Zao was unwilling to read and write?"
Speaking of this, Yuxi was angry: "Now that the weather is hot, I am worried that her body will not be able to stand it, so I discussed with Uncle Huo and asked her to practice martial arts in the morning and read and write in the afternoon." Huo Changqing agreed, but the jujube was a moth. I only studied for one afternoon, and the next day I stayed in the front yard and never came back.
Yun Qing couldn't help but laugh. In fact, Yunqing felt that it was indeed a little difficult for a three-year-old child to read and write big characters, and it was too early. Although Yuxi's requirements are not strict, as long as he writes the words he has learned ten times a day, Zao Zao is not willing to learn. For jujubes, practicing martial arts is faster than reading and writing.
Yuxi said angrily: "Are you still laughing? It's all your fault? If it weren't for you, how could Zao Zao not like to read?"
Yun Qing said innocently: "What does this have to do with me?
Yuxi said angrily: "Uncle Huo has said that you don't like to read since you were a child. The jujube must be with you. Fortunately, she didn't think about making Zao Zao a talented woman, otherwise she would really vomit blood.
Speaking of this, Yuxi was a little depressed. Her advantages and jujubes have not been inherited at all, but Yunqing's shortcomings and jujubes have not been lost, and they have all been inherited.
Yun Qing was not angry, but said happily: "My species, of course, is like me." In those words, there was an indescribable pride.
Yuxi shook his head and ignored Yunqing.
After lunch, Yunqing talked to Yuxi about business: "Yuxi, I want to expand the racecourse. "Expanding the horse farm means expanding breeding.
Yuxi didn't think about it and said, "No." β
Yun Qing asked puzzledly, "Why?" Because he had no experience before, he didn't raise much, and there were only more than 2,000 horses in Tong County. The pastures over there are vast, the water is abundant, and it is no problem to raise 10,000 horses.
Yuxi said: "I don't have any money, and I think the number of horses is enough now." "There are more than 2,000 horses on the Tong County side, and more than 4,000 horses on the two ranches on the West Sea side. There are already more than 4,000 horses on the Yucheng side, adding up to more than 10,000 horses, and Yuxi feels that it is enough.
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It's not enough, at least double it to barely be enough." "Yunqing wants to build a strong cavalry.
Yuxi said: "If you have money, I have no objection to raising 350,000 horses." "It's a pity that I don't have money, and it's in vain to say anything.
Yun Qing looked at Yuxi and said, "Didn't Wu Kuo earn more than two million silver, and take out some of it. "Wu Kuo's money-making business was still written by Yuxi to him.
Yuxi said angrily: "Our current expenses mainly rely on the money and gold mines that were confiscated before. Now it's time to take precautions and accumulate some family funds. When the gold mine is finished, the military salary will not be paid at that time. In fact, Yuxi opposes the expansion of the racecourse, and the real reason is not a lack of money. The real reason is that Yuxi can't sue SΓΉ Yunqing, so he can only talk about the lack of money.
Yun Qing frowned: "There will be no problem with that gold mine for three years. For three years, our caravans and other industries will also be able to make purchases. β
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Then let's wait until the caravan earns money to raise horses." "The caravan was formed last year, because it was not familiar with the route, and it is still in the exploration stage. In this half a year, it will be able to break even. R1148
