There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 128

[Chapter 128, Grain Seeds]

after the Grain Seeds Double Ninth Festival, Daohua’s life has returned to the same as before.

After class every day, after finishing the homework assigned by Mrs. Shen, I went to the old lady’s yard to tend the flowers and plants in the yard with the old lady.

Recently, Daohua read several ancient books on grafting, and was interested in studying flower grafting and cultivating some special flowers and plants.

There were not many types of flowers and plants suitable for potted plants in ancient times, and due to the geographical barriers, the flowers and plants that can be seen usually are actually a bit single.

Now the flower shop sells some common types of flowers, and other flower shops are also selling them. If the flower shop business is to continue to prosper, she feels that the flower shop must be irreplaceable.

In the yard, Mrs. Yan saw that the rice flowers were being destroyed by hand, and felt a little distressed. She wanted to stop it, but the girl insisted on saying that she was improving the flower seeds, which made her say it or not.

“Mother, don’t you talk about Daohua, even if there are many flowers and plants in your yard, it is not ruined by Daohua!”

When everyone paid their respects recently, they could see Daohua facing the yard with muddy hands. Even though Yan Zhigao didn’t pay much attention to the backyard, he also knew that the eldest daughter was ruining the flowers and plants in the old lady’s yard.

One evening, when the Yan family was waiting in the old lady’s yard for dinner, Yan Zhiyuan couldn’t help complaining to the old lady.

This time, before the old lady said anything, Yan Zhiqiang, who was never very talkative, explained to Daohua.

“Daohua has not been affected by flowers and plants, she is improving flower seeds.”

Yan Zhiyuan sneered: “Third brother, I admit that Daohua is really good at growing flowers, but you said that she is a young girl improving flower seeds, is that true?” Isn’t it a bit too much? I think it’s almost

like you’re messing around.” “I’m not unfamiliar with your second brother. I have been with my elder brother these years and have been in and out of many wealthy families. There are flower farmers who care for flowers and plants, just like that, have you heard of any new flowers produced by so-and-so’s house?”

“I won’t talk about other families, but the first family in Xingzhou City, the Zhou family. Mrs. Zhou is famous for loving flowers, but isn’t his family planting flowers that everyone is familiar with?”

After finishing speaking, Yan Zhiyuan looked at Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li with a smile.

“Brother, sister-in-law, I know that this year our family is selling watermelons, which made the family relax a little bit, but I think that what should be saved should be saved, can’t it be extravagant?”

This time, he refuted Yan Zhiyuan’s words It was still Yan Zhiqiang: “Second brother, what you said is right, but our Daohua is good at field affairs. She said that improving flower seeds is improving flower seeds.

” Looking at Yan Zhigao: “Brother, all the autumn grains on the Zhuangzi have been harvested this year, and I have already sent the account book to my sister-in-law.

” Probably only about 4 shi of grain can be harvested, and the rice seeds that can be improved with rice flowers can harvest at least 1 shi more rice, and it is not impossible for people who serve more carefully to collect 2 more shi.”

Hearing this However, Yan Zhigao, who has always paid attention to people’s livelihood, stood up abruptly and asked eagerly, “Is what you said true? Did you lie to me?”

If it wasn’t for being present There were too many people, he wanted to rush up and shake the third brother to see if he was talking nonsense.

Yan Zhiqiang: “Brother, you can look at our family’s account books recorded in previous years and compare it with this year. This year, Zhuangzi bought a little late and missed the spring plowing. Otherwise, you can go to the field to see the harvest scene with your own eyes.”

Yan Zhigao Staring closely at Yan Zhiqiang, seeing his serious face without any sign of lying, I couldn’t be more excited.

What is political achievement?

Let the common people have enough food and clothing, this is the greatest political achievement, and it is also his original intention of being an official.

Yan Zhigao didn’t care about the other people present, rubbed his hands, and walked around the room excitedly.

Seeing this, everyone was surprised.

In order to maintain the majesty of the head of the family, Yan Zhigao has always shown his emotions in front of the Yan family. It is very rare to show his emotions without reservation like this.

“Where’s the ledger? Hurry up and show it to me!”

Yan Zhigao wandered around for a while, then quickly grabbed Yan Zhiqiang and asked.

Yan Zhiqiang didn’t expect Yan Zhigao to be so excited, he was a little dazed for a while.

“Third brother, you are talking, where is the account book?” Yan Zhigao was impatient, and according to his inner thoughts, he grabbed Yan Zhiqiang and shook it a few times.

At this time, the old lady Yan spoke up, and looked at her eldest son angrily: “Boss, let go of your third brother, look at your current appearance, you seem to know the state.”

Yan Zhigao withdrew his hand embarrassingly: ” Mother, son is not excited!”

Seeing that the eldest son was really anxious, the old lady called grandma: “Go, bring me the account book in the inner box.”

While waiting, Yan Zhiyuan was a little disbelieving. Xiang Yan Zhiqiang: “Third brother, I know you like that girl Daohua, don’t lie to brother just to speak for her!”

“Bang!” The

old lady put the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table: “Second brother, third child ! Never lie, don’t you know?”

Seeing this, Yan Zhigao’s heart fell back when Yan Zhiyuan said it, his mother was like this, and what the third brother said just now should be true.

“I”

Yan Zhiyuan choked, and was just about to defend himself when Mama Sun came out with the ledger.

Yan Zhigao eagerly took the account book, looked at the immature handwriting on the account book, and asked in surprise: “Is the account book written by Daohua?

” Only in this way can we better improve the crops. No, since she and my third uncle recognized the name, she kept the accounts of the family.”

Yan Zhigao looked carefully, and the account books were also carefully recorded. Paddy fields, dry land, There are even harvest records of barren land and barren mountains.

The more you look at it, the more shocked Yan Zhigao becomes.

The records in this account book are clearer and more detailed than those in the yamen.

The comparison of paddy fields and dry land harvests, even the comparison of different types of grain production, and the use of a comparison table that makes the scene clear.

“Mother, is this really written by Daohua?” Yan Zhigao asked again, with disbelief in his tone.

The old lady said angrily: “If it’s not her, I would be an old woman!”

Yan Zhigao looked at Yan Zhiqiang again, and Yan Zhiqiang nodded immediately.

At this moment, Daohua came in, and seeing that no one in the room had spoken, she wondered, “What’s the matter, everyone?” He said, sitting next to the old lady, “Grandma, I’m hungry, and I don’t have dinner yet. Is it?”

“Daohua, I ask you, did you keep this ledger?” Yan Zhigao asked while holding the ledger.

When Daohua saw that it was the record book of the family’s grain harvest, she immediately regained her spirits.

It has not been a day or two since she wanted to promote her grain. The grain output of the ancient people was so low that many people could not eat enough. She was lucky enough to have a space where she could grow grain, and she also wanted to do something with her own strength, so that It is not in vain to come to ancient times.

“Yes, father, let me tell you, my improved grain is very good. When do you think it will be popularized in Xingzhou City?”

She was deeply touched by the previous escape experience.

It is really starving and dying everywhere, and mourning is everywhere!

She thought that she missed the spring plowing this year, and the matter of grain planting would not be mentioned until at least next year, but she did not expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Looking at the eldest daughter who seemed to be more excited than himself, Yan Zhigao shook his head.
