Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 255
Just as Fang Jinrong was about to leave home, the master and wife of the Fang family brought their servants to look for her.

Seeing her daughter from a distance, Mrs. Fang rushed forward, held her hand and looked carefully, fearing that something might go wrong, she let out a sigh of relief when she saw that she was safe and sound, "I really worried my mother to death, you girl..."

Before he could finish speaking, Master Fang grabbed a stick from the servant and rushed up. He wanted to greet Fang Jinrong, and cursed, "Unfilial daughter, see if I don't beat you to death!"

Mrs. Fang exclaimed, and hurriedly asked her servants to hold her back, and persuaded her softly, "Master, master, this is on the way. You can beat or scold me if you want to. Let's talk about it when you go back. If it gets out, Jin Rong's reputation will be ruined." It's gone, how will you marry in the future? Master, calm down quickly."

Master Fang's round face was ashen, his eyes were about to burst into flames, he managed to endure it, threw the stick on the ground, pointed at Fang Jinrong and said, "Okay, whatever, it won't be too late to deal with you when I go back!"

Knowing her master's fiery temper, Mrs. Fang's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but glared at her daughter.

It was indeed spoiling her to do such an outrageous thing!
Fang Jinrong was not afraid at all, she tilted her head slightly, without any sign of regret, Mrs. Fang was afraid that the master would be furious again when she saw it, so she hurriedly dragged her daughter into the carriage that accompanied her.

"Why are you so confused! Although our family is not an official family, we still have some family business. How can we be a maid? Don't blame your father for wanting to beat you, I wish I could beat you!" Mrs. Fang gave a serious lesson Get up your daughter.

Fang Jinrong curled her lips, "Father said that my eyes are higher than the top, so I want to marry the county magistrate to be satisfactory! I will marry him! If you can't be a wife, why don't you just be a concubine?" I said this is not good and that is not good, if I follow the county master, let's see if he dares to beat and scold me in the future!"

Mrs. Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You, you and your father are natural rivals, and you have made him angry since you were a child. Can you not blame you? How easy is it for you to be a concubine? There is a main house above, and when she eats You have to stand, you have to stand when she is sitting, you have to listen when she is talking, and you have to suffer when she punishes you! Compared to this, your father is considered good!"

Fang Jinrong's eyes widened at the words, "Is the concubine of the wife of the county mistress also so miserable?"

"Would you be able to lie to you as a mother?" Mrs. Fang rolled her eyes, "Since you entrusted the matchmaker to go, have you ever met the county owner's wife?"

Thinking of Du Xiaoyu's appearance, Fang Jinrong couldn't help snorting, "He's also narrow-minded, so he didn't choose me in the end."

"Isn't it? You're so beautiful, I'm afraid you won't even know how to die if you go there!" Mrs. Fang raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's not talk about the county lord, those magistrates, high-ranking officials in the capital, how many people died at home The concubine is very normal, no one will ask about it, just like a dead cat or dog."

Fang Jinrong finally became a little scared when she heard that. Although the wife of the magistrate looked kind, her eyes were unfathomable. It was probably the kind of person my mother said, who killed herself and didn't know how to die.
"As long as you get married, your father will naturally not punish you again." Mrs. Fang said earnestly, "He also cares about you, and he has the same heart as mother. You child, never do this again It’s too late to regret it.”

Fang Jinrong only nodded at this time, but quickly pouted and said, "But I don't like those people. If Dad insists on forcing them, I will never refuse."

"You didn't even take a look this time, so how do you know it's okay?" Mrs. Fang smiled, "Mother has seen it, that young man looks fair and clean, even better than those before, even if compared with the county lord, he is not far behind. How many."

"Mother didn't lie to me?"

Mrs. Fang put her arms around her shoulders. This daughter is too naive. In fact, she is very simple. If she really likes something, she is single-minded. For example, her piano skills are superb. Why?Just because she likes it, but his master doesn't understand his daughter.

"Of course my mother won't lie to you."

When we arrived at the Fang Mansion, Mrs. Fang and her daughter had almost talked, and then she came out and said to Master Fang, "Don't blame her, you haven't loved her well these years, if she doesn't like it, it's useless if you force her. "

"Then what should I do? Just let her be someone's concubine?" Master Fang angrily said, "You spoiled me, let's see what it looks like now!"

"Not necessarily this time. Didn't you all say that Li Jin is very good? I opened a brocade shop by myself. I have seen it. He is also good-looking. You have to try it before you talk."

Master Fang snorted coldly, "I still want people to look up to her. If it doesn't work this time, I'll send her to the nunnery!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Mrs. Fang smiled wryly, shook her head and just walked to the bedroom.

The four maids Du Xiaoyu chose were Zhang Xiaohong, Dong Cuifen, He Ju, and Yang Xiuzhu. She made some arrangements. Zhang Xiaohong and Yang Xiuzhu looked stronger, so they went to the kitchen to be rough maids. He Ju and Dong Cuifen They are responsible for washing clothes and cleaning the courtyard.

The next day, she went home early in the morning.

Seeing Du Xiaoyu coming, Du Xian was very surprised. He just went to deliver things yesterday, but he didn't expect to come here.

"I'm here to see those brassicas. It's easy to get worms this spring." For such a reason, Mrs. Zhao would never talk about her, otherwise she would have to explain something.

"I've already sprinkled insect repellent water. It's fine. Besides, Zou Luan and his wife will watch every day. If there is a bug, it must be removed." Du Xian laughed, "The rabbit house is also fine, and it's just today." Take out six pieces. By the way, the steward of Baixiufang asked someone to tell me that a customer ordered clothes from her, and they needed blue rabbit fur. He said he wanted to buy five pieces, and I was about to prepare them. "

The number of blue rabbits has always been small, and the supply has been in short supply for a long time, so the price is also expensive. Du Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "I won't sell them for a while after this business is completed. Didn't many people want to buy this kind of rabbit before? When more are born, we will only sell breeding rabbits."

"Why?" Du Xian was surprised, "Won't the blue rabbit skin become less valuable after that?"

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Now that the medical book comes out, it will be easy to cure the diseases of rabbits in the future. Besides, more and more people will eat rabbit meat. It will never become our arbitrary business in the future. It's better to let it go." Naturally, I will breed rabbits and sell them in the future. I am often away from home, so don't raise those ordinary rabbits, and you can relax."

She is not bad in this business, and has accumulated a lot of wealth by raising rabbits, and it is time to switch to other markets.At that time, I mentioned to Li Jin that silk quilts could be made. I don't know if he has any good news. If he comes back from the county later, he will go home to ask.

Du Xian also nodded, "Anyway, you have a lot of ideas, so if you don't sell them, don't sell them. You can go and have a look later, and tell me about those that need to be cultivated."

After listening for a while, Mrs. Zhao said, "You are the wife of the county owner now. You should take care of yourself. Our family is not always good. I'm afraid the old lady will be unhappy if she finds out. When I come back this time, how can I be with the old lady?" Did your wife ask for instructions?"

She was too careful, Du Xiaoyu grinned, "I came here in a hurry, and I didn't say anything. In fact, the old lady is not that particular. Even if I'm in the county, I don't go to pay my respects every day."

"You child..." Mrs. Zhao just wanted her to be more polite, so that she could gain a foothold in the two families and avoid new conflicts.

Seeing that his daughter was about to be nagged again, Du Xian smiled quickly, "What are you afraid of, with a son-in-law here?" Then he remembered another thing, "He didn't pass the exam, so he doesn't want to study anymore, mother, you Talk to Xiaoyu, should we just let him go to the shop?"

Huang Ligen is really not material for studying, and his belief is not firm. If he continues to read, it will be a waste of time. Du Xiaoyu asked, "What does my aunt say?"

"What can I do, it's not easy to come back to farm." Zhao sighed.

"He didn't want to learn anything?" Du Xiaoyu asked again.

Mrs. Zhao hesitated to speak, and then said after a while, "He said he wanted to learn martial arts, but his temper is so impulsive, what if he kills someone when the time comes?"

Du Xiaoyu burst out laughing, "If you kill someone, you have to pay for it, unless he wants to die." But Huang Ligen is naturally aggressive, so I really don't know what will happen if he learns martial arts, which is why he was not asked to learn it from the beginning Reason, "Then let's go to the shop first, but what did he do there? Dude? Or do you want to be Uncle Zhao?"

"Your aunt really wants him to learn cooking skills. If she really opens a second house in the future, she won't hire a cook."

This idea is not bad, Du Xiaoyu nodded, "Let's try it first, if he is willing to put his heart into it, he might not be able to do it, so he can become the number one scholar."

After talking for a while, Du Xiaoyu and Du Xian went to the rabbit house, mainly to count the rabbits, those very common rabbits will be sold one after another in the future, leaving only a few special colors, good breeds and healthy breeds rabbit.

They didn't come out until it was almost dark, and the two families discussed it again during dinner, and finally decided to let Huang Ligen and Zhao Song learn cooking skills.

Just as Zhao Dongzhi's family left, they welcomed two more guests. Du Xiaoyu was a little surprised. She didn't expect it to be Li Jin and his mother, Bai Shi. She was thinking of visiting.

"When I came back, I heard from Zhang Er that I saw the carriage of the county lord's house, so I guessed that you were back." Li Jin explained, "I just have something to tell you."

The two didn't bring brocade this time, but brought some fruit pastries.

Hearing that they had something serious to discuss, Mrs. Zhao took Mrs. Bai to the outside yard for a walk. Now is the time when the flowers are blooming in the warm spring. They have planted flowers in both the front and back yards, and under the moonlight it is also full of colorful flowers.

"I met someone who made silk quilts." Li Jin couldn't hide his smile and sounded extremely happy, "I heard that he worked in that workshop in the capital for five years."

"Oh?" Du Xiaoyu was also surprised, "How did you meet?"

"Master Fang introduced me." Seeing her puzzled expression, he smiled and said, "I attended a gathering of some merchants in the county a few days ago and met Master Fang. Their family sells porcelain. When talking about silk, he talked about this person."
