Chapter 48 Buying Seedlings

Seeing her sister-in-law who was about to cry, Fang Qing picked her up. "Father-in-law, let me take Sanmei to the yamen! Sanmei is a woman, so let her go out more often."

Mrs. Zhang felt that what the granddaughter-in-law said was right. The little granddaughter is a woman, so it is good to let her go out more. She believed that with the teaching of her brother-in-law Fang Qing, the little granddaughter would not have as hard a life as they did in the future.

Of course Xia Ye knew that women should see more of the world. In the past, the family was poor and there was no woman in charge, so no one took their daughter to the city. He was naturally happy that his daughter-in-law was willing to take her there.

"Then you go to the Yamen with your grandma, brother, and sister-in-law, you can't run around, do you know that?"

"I know...! I will definitely not run around." Hearing her father's voice, Zhang Jingfan immediately expressed that she would be obedient.

Zhang Zelin handed over the bag of rice and meat beside his wife to his father, and before his father could ask, he said something. "Daddy, this is brought by the wife-master, remember to make it and eat it!" After speaking, he quickly followed the pace of the wife-master and grandma.

After Fang Qing and the others arrived at the yamen, they first went to Xia Xuyang.

"Old lady, young girl, Brother Lin, you are here!" Xia Xuyang greeted the four people who came to the yamen.

After chatting with her for a few words, Fang Qing explained her reason for coming. "Auntie, it's not that I took back the three-acre paddy field and there are no seedlings at home. I came to the Yamen to buy some seedlings back."

Xia Xuyang was already satisfied with Fang Qing's niece and daughter-in-law, and when she heard that she was looking for her after buying rice seedlings, she secretly thought that she would have some political achievements this month.

You must know that the things sold by the yamen are all personal performance. Last time Fang Qing bought so many fields in her hands, her performance for that month was rated as excellent. She can evaluate performance again.

"Why is it difficult for you to buy it? Auntie will take you to see it."

Xia Xuyang took several people to the rice seedling field. "Girl Qing, this is the rice seedling of the yamen. You can ask the old lady to help you see if it is good or bad."

The old lady Zhang heard Xia Xuyang's words and said with a smile: "Young girl, brother Lin, the rice seedlings that your aunt brought you to see are high-quality rice seedlings."

"Grandma, auntie, how many seedlings do I need for my three-acre paddy field?"

"Girl Qing, how about Auntie give you some advice?"

"Auntie, what's your suggestion?"

"You need tens of thousands of seedlings for your three-acre paddy field, and each seedling is sold for a penny. If you buy too many and it's not worth it, you can buy half an acre of seedlings."

Mrs. Zhang heard that it cost one penny per tree, and felt that it was not worth it if it was too expensive. She asked, "My niece, I don't know how much money this half mu of seedlings costs."

"Auntie, one mu is 20 taels and half a mu is ten taels."

When Mrs. Zhang heard that the price difference was too far, it would be more cost-effective to buy half an mu of seedlings.

Zhang Zelin estimated in her heart how many seedlings would be needed for the paddy fields at home, but she couldn't figure out the number after all the calculations.

"Young girl, you can buy half an acre of rice seedlings!" Mrs. Zhang decided to ask her granddaughter-in-law to buy half an acre and keep it.

Fang Qing didn't know how many trees to plant per acre. She didn't know how to buy this thing for the first time, so now she can only listen to the advice of Mrs. Zhang and Xia Xuyang.

"Auntie, you can save half an acre of rice seedlings. I'll tidy up the paddy field in a few days, and then let someone come to pull the rice seedlings."

"Okay! No problem, Auntie will keep it for you."

After Xia Xuyang's nephew and daughter-in-law decided to buy half an acre, Fang Qing took them back to the Yamen to issue an invoice. Fang Qing handed over the ten taels of silver to Xia Xuyang, and took the invoice from her, thinking that this world is not so backward!I was able to issue an invoice.

"Auntie, let's go out for dinner!"

When Xia Xuyang heard her niece and daughter-in-law say go out for a meal, she didn't shirk, she locked the documents on the table and went to the restaurant with them.

When the shopkeeper of Jufulou saw Fang Qing, he walked over with a happy smile. "Sister Fang, are you bringing someone here for dinner?"

"Sister Wan, this is my husband, grandma, aunt, younger sister, younger sister brought the family to you for a meal."

After Fang Qing introduced several people to her, Wan Ran laughed and said, "It turned out to be Fang's younger sister Yue's family. The little old man is being polite here."

Xia Xuyang is the head of the yamen and has a lot of contact with people. Seeing Wan Ran salute to them, she bowed her hands and wrote the story. "Fortunate to meet...!"

Sister Wan, you can arrange a box for us, and you can order some special dishes for me.

"No problem! My sister will take you to the box right now."

Fang Qing and the others sat in the private room and chatted. Zhang Zelin and Zhang Jingfan ate the cakes from the shopkeeper. When the food was served, she poured a glass of wine for old lady Zhang and Xia Xuyang.

Several people were eating upstairs when they suddenly heard someone crying on the street. Zhang Zelin and Zhang Jingfan were curious about what was going on outside, so they went to the window to look.

"Help me..."

"Who will save my son!!!"

Fang Qing and the others were also curious about what was going on, the shouting was so loud outside, the three women went to the window to look, and saw a man hugging a comatose man, crying for passers-by to save his son .

Fang Qing and the others just took a look and returned to the table to continue eating their meals. Xia Xuyang took a sip of wine and said, "Oh! Some people's lives are really hard."

After hearing her words, Mrs. Zhang took it up and said, "Isn't it? Like our people who suffer all year round and don't earn a lot of money, let alone work hard, it's better to be like a niece who has an iron rice bowl."

Xia Xuyang felt bitter when she heard what Auntie said. Their job is indeed good in the eyes of others, but there is also competition!
"Auntie, our life is not easy! Every month we have to... Sigh!"

Fang Qing shook the wine glass in his hand and said: "If you are not in your position; if you don't seek government affairs, we people only need to manage an acre of land in the family, so that the family is fed and clothed. Think about it."

After Fang Qing finished speaking, Xia Xuyang stared at her with wide eyes.She felt that her niece and daughter-in-law were not a simple person, how could a simple person say such a sentence, the meaning in these words was very profound!
"Young girl, you can read and write."

Zhang Jingfan, who was at the side, heard her cousin ask her brother-in-law if he could read, and said proudly: "Biao Aunt, my sister-in-law can read, write paintings and poems, and she can also fight!"

Fang Qing was tricked by his sister-in-law, and she was tricked so thoroughly.

"Auntie, don't believe what this girl says, my three-legged cat kung fu can't go anywhere."

"I'm not lying, I've seen the painting my sister-in-law made for my elder brother...?"

Fang Qing "..."

Mrs. Zhang "..."

When Zhang Zelin heard from his sister that his wife helped him paint, he was a little shy and did not dare to look at his grandmother and cousin, so he turned his head to look at the window.

Xia Xuyang listened to his nephew and said with a smile: "Young girl, have you ever taken the imperial examination?"

"No, I'm not interested in which path."

Xia Xuyang was just about to say the next thing, but a yamen servant hurried over and whispered something in her ear, and when the yamen servant finished speaking, Xia Xuyang stood up and said: "Ma'am, young girl, there are some things that need to be dealt with in the yamen, I have to go back to the yamen.

"Go, auntie."

Fang Qing and Xia Xuyang walked out together, and they went to the counter to pay the bill, but Fang Qing stopped Xia Xuyang from paying the bill.

"Auntie, this meal was invited by my nephew and daughter-in-law. I can't ask my aunt to pay for it. My aunt still has official business. It's important for my aunt to deal with the official business first." Fang Qing said as he handed the money to Wan Ran.
