Chapter 122 The Orphan
But when Mrs. Zhou was sitting in the main room, Sheng Jiaojiao was looking at the trees in the yard when she was out of the main room. Now the fence of the Qi family's yard has been demolished, and they are planning to build a big yard, so some earthworks and limestone, They were all bought and piled up in the yard of Qi's family.

Qi Rong pushed Uncle Zhou and was about to go away, but Qi Zhang came back.

He took Tan Xiaojian with him, followed by a few children with frightened and miserable expressions, each of them was only as big as Lian Xin, and some were even smaller than Lian Xin.

Uncle Zhou saw Qi Rong after a long distance, he turned around hastily, no longer wanted to force his way into Qi's house, but ran up to Qi Zhang, started talking, and then pointed to stand with anger on his face Sheng Jiaojiao under the eaves.

Under the eaves, Sheng Jiaojiao gently fanned her round fan and raised her eyebrows.

Qi Radi's small face was full of anger, he ran over and said something loudly, Tan Xiaojian blushed and wanted to draw an arrow, but was stopped by Qi Zhang.

Because the distance was too far, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't hear what they said, so Qi Zhang bowed his hands to Uncle Zhou and asked Tan Xiaojian and Qi Rong to carry Uncle Zhou away.

frame away.

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled, and looked at Qi Zhang approaching from a distance with a bright face, she asked:
"Brother, what did you say to Uncle Zhou just now?"

"Brother said that Jiao Jiaoer is the head of the Qi family now, and I am busy in the military, so Jiao Jiaoer is the master of everything in the family."

Qi Rong walked into the yard, followed by a group of children. While walking towards the eaves, he pointed to the group of children behind him and said:
"I brought back a few children, Jiaojiao'er, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to settle these children."

"so much"

Looking at the dozen or so children standing in the messy yard, Sheng Jiaojiao put the round fan in her hand behind her, glanced over, and asked:
"Where did they all come from?"

"It's the orphan of the brothers who died in battle."

The hearty smile on Qi Zhang's face showed a heavy pain when he said these words.

Sheng Jiaojiao was stunned, and after a long time, she said in a daze:
"War, where is the undead?"

There is no war of the undead.

Since people will die, there will be orphans, and among the orphans in Zhishou County, nine out of ten ancestors died in war.

Qi Zhang hummed and said heavily:
"Their father died in the battle defending Zhishou County, some of their mothers remarried, and some of their families were in dire straits. Most of them had the same thoughts as Lian Xin's mother."

That is, abandon the girl and save the son.

After all, the resources to survive are limited. How can an ordinary family get so much rations to feed so many children.

Especially in a place like Zhishou County.

After a pause, Qi Zhang said again:
"I promised their father that if they fight the enemy bravely, I will take care of their children and raise these children to grow up. Sister, brother can't break his promise."

When he was talking, he looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with apologetic eyes. Now the Qi family is in charge of Sheng Jiaojiao. If he wants to raise these war orphans, he must first get Sheng Jiaojiao's consent.

I only heard Qi Zhang continue to say in a flattering way:

"I know it's not easy for my family to make money, and my sister is also working very hard, but Jiao Jiaoer, if I don't care about them, what will the brothers who join the army under my hands think of me? Next time they go to work hard, they will definitely look forward and backward, and will not be generous. to die."

"I know, I didn't say to ignore them."

Sheng Jiaojiao took two steps forward, stroked the wind in front of her with her round fan, and said with a smile:

"It's just, brother, we want to be ugly. The Qi family does not support idlers. You see, our fourth young master is also working now. Qi's house has to be cleaned inside and out. These children come to our house. Eat well, dress well, go to private school for half a day every day, and get money, but I have to do the work of a girl and a servant, my brother agreed to me, and our family can support as many children as possible in the future."

Since they are war orphans, there is absolutely no such thing as selling themselves into slavery, but the Qi family and the Tan family are currently short of people, and there are more and more things. The Qi family even has to do the tea and water by themselves. That's too much.

Everywhere is not well taken care of, and everywhere is stretched.

Furthermore, both Qi Zhang and Tan Ji will be great generals in the future, and Sheng Jiao Wan would not dare to buy someone outside to serve them. It would be better to raise some domestic servants and cultivate their loyalty since childhood. use it?

When Qi Zhang heard that Sheng Jiaojiao agreed, he was very happy. No matter what conditions she asked, as long as the Qi family was willing to raise these children, he would agree to them all.

Looking at the messy yard again, Qi Zhang asked about the situation of building a private school.

"The private school started construction together with our yard and the Tan family's house. It's only been a few days."

Sheng Jiaojiao replied, and said:
"This time, the men from the three villages of Huangtu Village, Huangshi Village, and Huangguo Village were invited by me to help, and the wages were settled on a daily basis. I also invited a lot of women, mainly responsible for the men's meals. I thought Discussed with Uncle Zhou to lease over a dozen acres of land by the water pond to Zhou's family for planting, but Uncle Zhou was unwilling, so he thought, let's just give it to Niuju's family."

She was a bit rambling, Qi Zhang couldn't catch up after listening for a while, so he found an excuse and went back to his room to read.

Originally, when Sheng Jiaojiao hadn't gotten up, Qi Zhang had to worry about family affairs from time to time, the uncle's lung cough, and the fourth brother's reading and writing.

But since Sheng Jiaojiao unknowingly took over as the head of the Qi family, Qi Zhang discovered that all the people in the family, big and small, old and young, were clearly arranged by Sheng Jiaojiao.

This gave him more time to focus on the barracks.

So after a long time, he found that these things Jiao Jiaoer said seemed to be far away from him, so far away that he didn't sound interested at all.

It's better to go back to the room and read a book.

As soon as he left, Niu Ju came to Qi's house.

She looked at the little boys and girls who were taken out by Lian Xin in the yard, and asked:

"Jiao Jiaoer, where did this child come from?"

"My eldest brother came back and said that their father died on the battlefield. These children had no one to take care of them, so they brought them back to be raised by the Qi family."

Sheng Jiaojiao responded, looked at Niu Ju with a smile again, and asked:
"What's the matter? Are you here for me, or for my big brother?"

"What, of course I came to see you."

Niu Ju standing in the yard blushed. Now she is helping Qi's family with work, eating and drinking at Qi's family for three meals a day.

As a result, the body was washed by Shengjiaojiao's water, and the original black and yellow skin was also weakened, and it unknowingly grew into a wheat complexion.

The whole person's figure, from the original strong, has also transformed into a strong and handsome figure, which looks like the girl Qi back then, with a kind of wild beauty.

It's just that she was talking about looking for Sheng Jiaojiao, but she glanced at Qi Zhang's room, and said in her mouth:
"I'm here to ask you, how do you plan to plant the land this year. My mother said that I will plant the land after the Qi family has fertilized the land."

Because of the expansion of the forest, the medicine field that Aunt Niuju cultivated is actually not far from the forest.

She opened a large medicine field on the edge of the woods of Qi's family, that is, on the land of Niu's family.

Since the snow hadn't melted, Niu Niangzi has been meticulously tending her medicine field every day, but seeing that the snow has melted, Sheng Jiaojiao is still not fertile, but Niu Ju is very anxious.

In the past few days, many fast-moving families have already started digging the soil, but the Qi family is busy renovating the house, and there is no explanation for the farming.

Aunt Niu Ju insisted on Niu Ju to ask Sheng Jiaojiao about her regulations, she was still waiting to grow medicinal herbs to make a fortune.

The purpose of waiting for the Qi family's fertile land is to borrow the water and soil of the Qi family to support the medicine field she opened. This was something that was agreed before winter last year.

"What are you waiting for our family to do? If Niu Niangzi is in a hurry, why don't you buy some planting treasures from my house and go back, and you can make as much fat as you want."

Sheng Jiaojiao smiled, led Niu Ju into the main room and sat down.

As soon as she sat down, Lian Xin brought a few little girls into the main room with a red lacquered wooden tray in her hand.

The tray was held by Lian Xin, and she asked a few little girls to follow her to see what she was doing. After she finished serving tea to Sheng Jiaojiao and Niu Ju, she took the other girls out and taught them how to serve tea. rules.

Sheng Jiaojiao took the teacup, smiled at Lian Xin who looked like a big girl, and then at Niu Ju.

Niu Ju's thoughts are not very delicate, but unexpectedly the Qi family is a little different from before, but they don't have more thoughts.

Hearing what Sheng Jiaojiao said, Niu Ju asked hesitantly:
"This land-growing treasure was brought back by Brother Ming from other places. I heard that there are only a few jars in total. If I use it."

Before winter last year, Sheng Jiaojiao had said that Niu Ju raised sheep for her, and she paid Niu Ju her wages, and Niu Ju could sell wool, goat milk, and mutton to Sheng Jiaojiao for the sheep she raised herself.

Sheng Jiaojiao gave Niu Ju the money for selling the sheep.

If Aunt Niuju wants to open a field to grow herbs, Sheng Jiaojiao will also accept the herbs from Niu's family.

As long as A Niang Niang's herbs are of good quality, Sheng Jiaojiao will not refuse no matter what they grow.

But the problem is that Aunt Niuju doesn't have any confidence at all. Before she started planting, she felt that the herb in her own field was definitely not as good as the one grown by Qi's family.

Sheng Jiaojiao straightened up, shook her head slightly, and said to Niu Ju:

"Hey, it's okay. I recently contacted a few shopkeepers. They are all my second brother's contacts. They said that they can bring us a few jars of planting treasures from the south. If we need them in large quantities for a long time, they can also think of a way." Woolen cloth."

At this time, Sheng Jiaojiao had already made up her mind to sell the Qi family's excrement.

Nothing else, it is because she is too short of money.

Moreover, her lies are always half true and false, Etuo and other shopkeepers are indeed helping Sheng Jiaojiao to bring the treasure of planting land to Zhishou County.

Previously, she wanted to let the eldest lady's natal family, Zhou's family, to contract to plant the ten acres of land by the water lake. Sheng Jiaojiao still had some thoughts of helping out, and she would let the Zhou family's crops grow more and more. good.

So long ago, Sheng Jiaojiao ordered many land treasures with Etuo, intending to fertilize the Zhou family. Of course, these land treasures were only on the surface.

If Sheng Jiaojiao didn't find some excuses, how could he explain that the land of the Qi family and the Zhou family had many and good crops?

Therefore, Zhongdibao was just a cover. In fact, Sheng Jiaojiao packed Qi's family's excrement and used it as Zhongdibao for Zhou's family.

She counted to the beginning, but not to the end.

As a result, the Zhou family did not want to be self-reliant and make a fortune by farming.

The Zhou family only wanted to share the shares of the Qi family.

That Sheng Jiaojiao simply found another way, selling "planting treasures" to make money.

But at this time, Niu Ju heard that Sheng Jiaojiao had a way to get the treasure of planting land, and her eyes lit up. She stretched out her hand, took Sheng Jiaojiao's hands, and said happily:

"Since this is the case, Jiaojiao, my family will buy it. No matter how high the price is, my family will buy this land farming treasure."

"It's not expensive, but it's all used to fertilize the soil. It needs to be used a few times."

Sheng Jiaojiao thought about it, and quoted a price to Niu Ju, which was very moderate, and guaranteed that Niu Niang would use it for half a month, and the land would be fattened.

Then, she talked to Niu Ju about letting Niu's family contract to plant the ten acres of land by the water pond.

Niu Ju readily agreed, and went home happily, and talked to A Niang about the treasure of planting land and Bao Zhongdi.

Who knows, after listening to Niu Ju's words, Niu Niangzi agreed to buy the land planting treasure from Qi's family, but she disagreed with her life and death, and contracted to plant the ten mu of land by the water lake.

"It's okay, it's not a lot of money. The Qi family has a good relationship with many shopkeepers now. It's not difficult to let them bring some land-growing treasures from the south. It’s hard for our family not to have a good harvest in those lands.”

Niu Ju tried her best to persuade A Niang that the more than ten acres of land are all in the golden land beside the water, and other people's families want to plant it, but they don't have it yet.

Niu Niangzi slapped the table and shouted at Niu Ju:
"Whether it's you or I who is stupid, don't think about it, the land by the water is so good, why did Jiao Niang plant it for you? She must not be sure that she can plant the ten acres of land well, I just thought of entrusting it to someone else's family to grow it, you, you, now you are poisoned by Jiao Niang, you can believe whatever she says."

In fact, Niu Niangzi decided to open the land beside the woods of Qi's family because she believed in Feng Shui.

In this barren frontier area, the Qi family forcibly planted a forest. Isn't this good Feng Shui?
It must be that luck has come to the Qi family. This year's Qi family is good everywhere, the battle in Qi Zhang is getting more and more fierce, the women of the Qi family are getting longer, whiter and more beautiful, and the money of the Qi family is getting more and more.

Even Uncle Qi's body is becoming stronger and stronger. Last year, his body seemed to be dying. After a winter, he didn't cough a single sound.

So people in the village say that the closer you are to Qi's house, the better the Feng Shui.

Although Niu Niangzi is waiting for the Qi family's fertile land to sow seeds, Feng Shui is also very important, and even to a certain extent, it is more important than planting land treasures.

So the place where the water is so far away, even if it is a prime location, Niu Niangzi will not plant it.

Niu Ju stood in front of Niu Niangzi, lowered her head, tears rolled in her eyes, she stomped and said:

"Jiao Jiao is my best sister, how could she harm me? Our family has such a life, how can we not help Jiao Jiao, Auntie."
