Wei Xi pressed his trembling legs, "Come in." ”The young man who pushed the door in was wearing a green robe, his eyebrows and eyes were flat, but a pair of eyes were exceptionally good-looking, shining and bright.can become Chen Erya's second disciple, his mathematical talent is no worse than that of his senior sister Chen Qingyi, but compared with Chen Qingyi, he is much more taciturn.After the first two meetings, yes, the two have only met twice in two months.Wei Xi felt that if he was allowed to socialize with others, it would probably be more uncomfortable than killing him.Even when he came to this northern wilderness, after such a long time, he didn't have more than five fingers to speak.So when people came to see, Wei Xi was really a little surprised.Looking at the young man who walked in front of her, Wei Xi wisely asked first, "Qingchi, what are you doing with me?"
”"Miss," probably because he didn't speak often, Chen Qingchi's voice was a little deeper than that of his peers, "Yesterday, a few people from Mengjia Village came to me, and they wanted to sell us the surplus grain at home. ”Wei Xi was stunned for a moment and nodded at him, "You go on." ”In the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the grain harvest has also increased, and the people have left a lot of food in addition to enough for themselves, so there are grain merchants in the city who come to the village to collect grain, but those grain merchants have pushed the price extremely hard.They didn't want to sell it, but it was not a solution to keep piling up grain at home, so they thought that there were three or four hundred people here, and instead of buying grain from the grain stores in the city every time, it was better to buy the grain from their village directly. ”Wei Xi nodded his chin, "That can save a lot of silver." ”After all, there is a lot of price difference between buying grain directly from the people and buying grain from the grain store.Chen Qingchi continued: "I have already estimated, according to the calculation of the grain consumed every day now, the grain purchased from Mengjia Village can only last for three months, but it can save almost 10,000 taels of silver.If the village next to Mengjia Village is also willing to sell, there is no need to buy the grain needs of this year from the grain store. ”Wei Xi likes such a child who clearly uses data to talk to her, and immediately makes a decision, "This method is feasible, let Wei San assist you in this matter." ”"Yes, miss."
After saying what he was going to say this time, Chen Qingchi bowed to Wei Xi without any ambiguity and turned to leave.Xiao Qi came in with a basin of hot water on his hind feet, Wei Xi hurriedly took off his shoes and socks, immersed his feet in the hot water, and breathed a sigh of relief comfortably."
Miss," Xiao Qifang also heard the conversation in the door when he was outside the door, and the reason why he didn't come in was because he was afraid that Chen Qingchi would be nervous as soon as there were too many people, so he couldn't help but speak, "I think those people in Mengjia Village are a bit too much this time." ”Wei Xi tilted his head to look at her, "Why do you think so?"
”"When the crop is high, the price will definitely go down.Although those grain merchants are not very authentic, they find you and ask you to buy their grain, although we can also save a lot of silver, but we have also done the bad guys, and those grain merchants who can't receive grain will definitely hate us because of this.On the contrary, the people of Mengjia Village, since the grain was sold at a good price, even if the grain merchants could not receive the grain, they would not be able to find their trouble. ”"It's just a crop, so why think so much."
Wei Xi naturally knew in his heart, "But those people from Mengjia Village must have finally made up their minds to find them after the whole village discussed, and in their opinion, this move can be regarded as the best of both worlds."
If I don't agree, if there are one or two small-minded people who are dissatisfied with the construction of Taoyuan Town and do not do their best or secretly make some small moves, then I won't gain more than I lose.I don't want to use that little money to test human nature.For me, the smooth completion of Taoyuan Town is the most important thing. ”Xiao Qi nodded with a somewhat complicated expression, "I understand, Miss." ”Or she thought too simply.Those people respect Miss only because Miss gave them the opportunity to make money, that's all.People's hearts have always been weak, not to mention that this is just a little stronger than not knowing each other.Sure enough, after Wei San sent people to Mengjia Village and the surrounding villages to buy grain, Xiao Qi could clearly feel that the enthusiasm of these people for work was rising again.Even every time she passed by, someone would respectfully shout "Little Seven Girl".This made her sigh, this is the power of silver!
However, her young lady is a master who is not distressed like throwing silver and splashing water.As the maid of the young lady, she was also forced to follow the money like floating clouds, but at the same time, she knew how important silver was, and she was so entangled!
Wei Xi almost took three days to turn around Taoyuan Town, and seeing that even if she wasn't there, nothing would happen, so she took Xiaoqi Xiaoba back to Shangjing.When he got home, Wei Xi saw that Wei Yun's carriage was also there, so he simply went directly to the main courtyard.Wei Yun was talking to Fu Yuheng, still pinching a bunch of grapes in his mouth, turning his head to see Wei Xi, he immediately raised his eyebrows, "Yo, our busy man is finally back?"
”Wei Xi stepped into the threshold, first called Fu Yuheng is mother, and then looked at the bunch of green grapes in Wei Yun's hand, "Sister, aren't you too sour with such green grapes?"
”She felt a little toothy just by looking at it.Wei Yun stuffed another one into her mouth when Wei Xi asked her, and ate it with relish, then shook her head, "No, I think it's quite delicious." ”Fu Yuheng: "Xi'er, your sister is pregnant, almost two months. ”Wei Xi: "" Her gaze moved uncontrollably to Wei Yun's stomach, her mouth opened, and she didn't react for a while.For a long time, "So fast?"
”Wei Yun touched his stomach, "It's okay, it's okay, I've done the math, it's not as fast as my cousin." ”Fu Yuheng: "Is there anything comparable to this?
Wei Xi sat down on the seat next to Wei Yun, "Since my sister is pregnant, then I will give the job of purchasing flowers and trees to others." ”"Don't don't," Wei Yun hurriedly waved his hand, "Then wouldn't I have no work at all, how boring it is."
And Jiuzhang also said that I am in good health, and I have no problem riding a horse and throwing a whip. ”Wei Xi: "Okay then, I also want to buy some seeds for lotus flowers and other aquatic plants." ”Wei Yun was arrogant, "Wrap it up on me." ”"That's right," Fu Yuheng was watching his two daughters talk, and suddenly remembered something, "Xi'er, yesterday, that Qingyi girl from Tianyi Pavilion sent someone to send a box, and my mother asked her to send it to your yard." ”"Boxes?"
Wei Xi wanted to say that he didn't seem to have ordered any clothes recently, but when he saw the green grapes that Wei Yun was still nibbling on, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "I remember." ”"What do you remember?""
When I first found out that my cousin was pregnant a few years ago, I asked Qingyi to make some clothes suitable for newborn babies.Fortunately, I did a lot more at that time, sister, you can take a few with you when you leave. ”Wei Yun: "At that time, my cousin was only more than a month pregnant, so you have all the clothes ready." ”"Fabrics are rare, and if you don't prepare them in advance, I'm afraid it's too late to make them."
Wei Yun wiped the grape juice on his hands: "Let's go, take me to have a look." ”Fu Yuheng watched Wei Yun leave in a hurry, "I'm almost a mother, and I'm still jumping out like this." ”Mama Rong said on the side: "The second lady was favored by your wife before she got married, and she was favored by her husband after she got married, so she could live so comfortably." ”Fu Yuheng couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips when he heard this, "I hope Xi'er can be like this in the future." ”Thinking that His Royal Highness the King of Yue could still deign to be willing to accompany Wei Xi to fly a kite, perhaps, marrying into the royal family was not as bad as she imagined.The box sent by Chen Qingyi was placed in the hall, and you could see it at first glance when you entered the door.Without waiting for Wei Xi to speak, Wei Yun had already taken the first step and bent down to open the box.When I saw the small and cute baby clothes neatly stacked in the boxes, I immediately fell in love.I went to wash my hands again before reaching out to touch it.When he touched the texture of the clothes, he said, "It's really soft, Xixi, what is this made of?"
”Forgive her for not recognizing."
Cotton."
Wei Xi had already drunk tea and poured Wei Yun a glass of water, "Cotton is soft, sweat-absorbent and breathable, which is very suitable for children's underwear." ”"Cotton?"
Wei Yun suddenly remembered, "Is it the cotton seed that you found the year before last from the shopkeeper of Liulifang in Tonan Island Prefecture?"
The one we stuffed in the quilt?
I didn't expect to be able to knit clothes!
”Wei Xi nodded, "This cotton cloth is still the credit of Min Xiu and her students, I just said my thoughts at the beginning, and I didn't expect them to actually make it, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy." ”Wei Yun happily took a few pieces, and didn't pick them carefully, after all, in her opinion, every little dress is cute.Xiao Qi found a clean box and packed the clothes she picked out, Wei Yun sat down and took a sip of water, "By the way, Xixi, I still want to tell you one thing, about the sister of the Dong family who lives in the guest garden." ”Wei Xi looked at her mysterious look, "Dong Xueqing, what's wrong with her?"
”Wei Yun was used to Wei Xi's direct call by name, "Just the afternoon before yesterday, I made an appointment with my cousin to go out together, and I met Sister Dong's maid on the street.Guess where that Ah Shui came from?
”Wei Xi met her sister's eyes that you would definitely not guess, and was speechless, "Pharmacy." ”Her tone was unusually affirmative.Wei Yun: "" She gasped, "Xixi, how do you know?"
Didn't you just come back from the Northern Foothills?
Or have you seen it before?
”Wei Xi felt that Wei Yun's brain replenishment skill had skyrocketed, "Sister, it's your expression that is too obvious." ”Wei Yun: "Is there one?"
”She patted herself in the face, "But it doesn't matter.Xi Xi, you said, why did Ah Shui secretly go to the pharmacy outside to buy medicine, even if Sister Dong is not feeling well, but there are doctors in our house, as long as you come and talk to your mother, why go outside to find a doctor?
”Wei Xi tapped his chin with his finger, "Unless it's because of her illness and I don't want my mother to know." ”Wei Yun: "?
”"Sister, do you remember the pharmacy where Ah Shui bought medicine?""
Yes.""
Go and find out what medicine Ah Shui bought, and you'll be able to figure it out."
Wei Xi had a hunch that he was likely to find out something interesting in this.
