Chapter 221 The True and False Daughter’s Brother-in-Law (7)

"This pumpkin is really delicious, and it is so big and has so many seeds. If our family grows it, won't we worry about not being full?" Qin Sheng said while eating the pumpkin.

"Yes, we can grow pumpkins." Qin Muwen also said.

They all saw it when Mrs. Lin cut up the pumpkin just now. A pumpkin really has a lot of seeds. If one seed can grow a pumpkin, a lot of pumpkins can be harvested.

The Qin family are farmers, and they are most concerned about the issue of food.Although Qin Muzhang said that he could make looms to weave cloth, what they cared about most was food and land.

The appearance of the pumpkin made them more happy than the loom. Qin Sheng and his son were discussing with great interest where the pumpkin should be planted.

"Let's go up the mountain tomorrow to see what these pumpkins look like and how they should be planted," Qin Sheng said to his sons.

"Okay, by the way, let's see how many pumpkins there are on the mountain." Qin Muwen also said, "There are also sweet potatoes and corn, dad, you can try it too."

Only two corns were steamed, and Chen Qiuxiang cut them into small pieces with a knife, so that everyone could eat the corns, and then Qin Sheng and the others made a decision to go up the mountain to find corns and study how to grow them.

Chen Qiuxiang didn't care. When she planted corn, she kept about [-]% of the corn to eat tender corn in a day or two, and about [-]% of the corn was ripe and could be picked and dried for seeding or ground into flour.

After washing the pumpkin seeds, put them in the editor's basket on the side, and take them out to dry in the sun tomorrow, and store them in the sun for a few days before storing them or planting them.

It is now April, and the fields are full of food. If you want to grow pumpkins and sweet potatoes, you have to re-open a field.

The laws of the Dasong Dynasty are different from those of the Yong Dynasty. In the Dasong Dynasty, farmers can reclaim no more than one mu of wasteland without paying taxes, but in the Dasong Dynasty, farmers can open up wasteland at will but must go to the government. Registration, no matter how many lands you open, you have to pay taxes.

Also because no matter how much wasteland is opened, the people in the Dasong Dynasty basically seldom open up wasteland. After all, they don't have so much grain to pay taxes.

But now Qin Sheng's family plans to open up one or two acres of wasteland to see if they can grow these pumpkins and sweet potatoes. Of course, this all needs to be studied how pumpkins and sweet potatoes are grown, and whether their yield can support the tax revenue of the wasteland they opened up.

Qin Muyin quietly listened to the family members discussing farming. The family atmosphere of the Qin family is quite good. Although there are occasional small conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, there is no major enmity. They are more harmonious get along, rarely quarrel.

Qin Muyin listened to the topics of the family members' chat, and then thought about it when they were in the Xu family, everyone always said one sentence and three sentences, and the family rules were not very close.

Master Xu Hou is a rather rigid and serious person. He is very polite, and his children are afraid to speak too much in front of him. When they get along with Mrs. Hou, their husband and wife are also very indifferent, just like superiors and subordinates. .

Although Qin Muyin had the reputation of being the daughter of the Duke's family back then, she was not favored that much. I don't know if it was because of her blood relationship. Mrs. Hou didn't like Qin Muyin's daughter very much, and loved the eldest son of the family even more.

It's okay for Mrs. Hou to like her son. After all, for ancient women, sons are the key to straightening their waists. The son of the Hou family is also a smart person. Mrs. Hou has high hopes for her son. Of course, it is all kinds of good things for him.

Mrs. Hou also liked her first daughter very much. Qin Muyin also envied that the eldest sister was more favored. Mrs. Hou liked her eldest son and daughter very much.

Later, Mrs. Hou gave birth to another son and a daughter. Qin Muyin, who was in the middle of the list, was treated better than the concubines, and not as good as Mrs. Hou's other children.

Now Qin Muyin understands why Mrs. Hou doesn't like her, because she is not Mrs. Hou's own, and the other party may instinctively dislike her as a daughter.

But even though Mrs. Hou loves her other children, they still don't get along as harmoniously as the Qin family, and Qin Muyin has seen the tit-for-tat confrontation between the other concubine children and the first-born children of the Xu family, etc. over the years.

Now such an ordinary farm life is actually quite good.

"Little sister just came back, are you still used to it?" Chen Qiuxiang looked at Qin Muyin and asked.

Qin Muyin was eating pumpkin politely, and nodded after hearing what the second sister-in-law said, "I'm still used to it."

Chen Qiuxiang said, "Little sister, don't worry, our fields are almost all planted now, and there is no need for my little girl to go to the field. If there is anything you want to do, you can also tell us, and we will do our best to satisfy you."

Qin Muyin nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law, please."

"My little sister, if you don't plan to get married now, what are your plans?" Chen Qiuxiang continued to ask, "We won't bother you about farm work or anything, my little sister, is there anything you want to do?"

Qin Muyin thought for a while and said, "I...I want to study medicine."

Chen Qiuxiang raised his eyebrows, "Want to study medicine?"

"What? Little sister, do you want to study medicine?" The others looked at Qin Muyin in surprise after hearing what she said. They didn't expect her to have such an idea.

Qin Muyin said seriously, "I want to study medicine, I want to cure diseases and save people, and I want to hang the pot to help the world."

"I know I can't do farm work. I'm not good at embroidery as a female worker, and I'm not good at cooking. But I am very interested in medical skills. When I was in Xu's family, I used to follow the mother and the government. Medicine has some medical skills."

"Father and mother, eldest brother, second brother and third brother, I want to continue my studies, I want to learn better medical skills, and have a foundation for my life." Qin Muyin said.

Qin Sheng and Zheng Shi looked at the newly found daughter and heard her lofty ambitions, they were speechless.What can be said?Their daughter hasn't done those jobs for more than ten years, so should she be allowed to do it in the future?

Although this is the life of a peasant girl, but she has lived the life of a rich girl for more than ten years. How can their parents make their children worse off?
"If you want to study medicine, I recommend you to learn from an old doctor in the town." Qin Muzhang said suddenly.

"There is an old imperial doctor in the town who has retired from the palace. He has been very low-key these years, but I accidentally learned that he used to be an imperial doctor. And there are medical women in the palace. This old imperial doctor once taught medical women, His granddaughter also studies medicine."

"If you want to study medicine and still have the talent, you can visit this old lady doctor and ask for a teacher. If you can join his school, then you don't have to worry too much in the future."

Qin Muyin looked at Qin Muzhang in surprise when he heard the words, "Really, second brother?"

"There is really an old doctor in the town, but it's more difficult for you to learn from him." Qin Muzhang looked at Qin Muyin and said, "If you want to learn from him, it depends on whether you can endure hardship under that old doctor's hands."

Qin Muyin said firmly, "I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of any hardships to study medicine."

Just like what she said, it is absolutely impossible for her to endure the hardships of farming, nor can she be a female worker and cook. She only has a good talent in medical skills, so she will definitely work hard for the future, even if she is studying medicine and suffering hardships It is also much better than farming.

Qin Muzhang nodded. Since this younger sister wants to study medicine, he will help her a little.At least this younger sister has a good heart, he still hopes that her younger sister can become a doctor to help the world and accumulate merits.
