Chapter 49 Unless You Go Invitation in Person
Ning Jianren received the news about Yunshan Manor brought back by Qihao on the fourth day after he assigned the task to Qihao.
It was similar to what was said outside, water wheels, ponds, and reclaimed farmland.
There were a few more people around me, but they didn't seem to be bought from the population market, but from local places.
Ning Jianren paced back and forth in the room, unable to help but repeatedly asking: "Cassava? Did you hear correctly? She really wants to plant cassava in that place?"
Qi Hao was worried: "I heard from the people who helped build the nursery shed that it was cassava."
Originally, we grew some oats and produced some harvest, which was barely enough to pay taxes and feed a dozen people.
Plant that useless cassava, that thing looks like a tree root and cannot be eaten.
This woman is simply mentally ill.
Ning Jianren slammed the table heavily: "This damn woman is really sick."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, a plan emerged.
If he was sick, then it would be reasonable for him to go crazy or die suddenly.
If he were in Fusong Town, with those old guys watching him, he would be hesitant.
But now she had to go to such a remote place by herself, and she was also crazy, so...
Well, so the first step is to let everyone know that this woman is crazy, and very crazy.
...Just a few days later, a rumor spread from Fusong Town that Miss Jiang had been mentally ill in her boudoir, but her father was rich, so he hired a mysterious Taoist to cure her.
As a result, the last time the house caught fire, it completely triggered her madness.
The son-in-law loved his wife dearly, and he was a son-in-law after all, and the local celebrities were on Miss Jiang's side, so he was soft-hearted and let Miss Jiang do whatever she wanted and go to that remote farm.
When this madman gets sick, he doesn't distinguish between relatives and strangers, and he doesn't know the direction. Without a son-in-law to take care of him all the time, what would happen if he rolled down the hillside or fell into the ditch one day?
——Jiang Yizhou listened to the latest rumors about her that Wei Ke brought back from Fusong Town.
I couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Did those people really spread it like that?"
Wei Ke's eyes were dark, but the young lady could actually smile.
The son-in-law was clearly laying the groundwork for the murder. Once everyone believed that the young lady was crazy, he would have someone secretly do something, and then...
Yunxin and Yucui were so angry that they wanted to pick up sticks and beat up the man who had wiped out the whole family.
Jiang Yizhou pointed at the two girls with his finger and couldn't help sighing: "I'm talking about you guys, you are really..." too kind.
What's the point of beating someone up with a stick?
It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them. Of course, she didn't want to cut off just one of his fingers, but his life.
Jiang Yizhou asked, "Then is there a rumor that since this son-in-law is so concerned about my illness, why doesn't he come to take care of me or take me back?"
Wei Ke said angrily: "He said that business is tight now and many people are eyeing the Jiang family's fat piece of meat. He also said that it was what Mr. Jiang worked hard to leave for Miss, and he wanted to protect the family property for Miss..."
Jiang Yizhou laughed out loud, and after a moment's silence, he said, "He has eaten all the fat meat, and he still has the nerve to say that he will help me protect the family property. Forget it, I will settle this account with him later. Since they are exaggerating my illness and his deep love so loudly, then you can also help me spread the word and say..."
After hearing what she said, several people didn't know what the point was.
Never mind, just spread it like this.
…………Because Ning Jianren deliberately exaggerated the fact that Miss Jiang had gone crazy, people who originally didn’t care much about these gossips also became more concerned about what was happening in Yunshan.
However, Jiang Yizhou did not disappoint them. Before the cassava incident was over, people heard that she had gone to the county seat of Ximin County and brought back a new seed.
What’s it called…wheat? Yes, it is said that this stuff has a higher yield than oats and sorghum.
People wonder, how much yield a crop has, how could farmers who have been farming for decades not know?
You are a girl who has just been kicked out of the house, and you just brought back some seeds from somewhere, and you say that they can be planted and will produce high yields?
Well, your Jiang family is wealthy and you don’t have to worry about food and drink. It won’t have much impact if you don’t have a harvest in one season.
But for ordinary farmers or even tenant farmers, let alone having no harvest in a year, even a failed season would mean starvation, selling children and ruining the family.
He is really willful and mischievous.
This time, there was no need for Ning Jianren to exaggerate, people spontaneously disagreed with Jiang Yizhou.
It also further confirmed that Miss Jiang was indeed crazy.
In this way, all of Ning Jianren's previous actions of taking a concubine and using the Jiang family's wealth to curry favor with the powerful were forgiven - it was really not easy for the son-in-law to meet such a crazy woman.
Public opinion is like the east wind and the west wind, and this time it is Ning Jianren's turn to have the upper hand.
Just after the lively New Year's Eve, Ning Jianren, who was supposed to go to Zezhou to study, was politely rejected.
Therefore, even though he had the upper hand in public opinion at Yunshan Farm, he was not happy at all.
It's just public opinion and it doesn't cause any substantial harm to the woman.
Instead, Doctor Jia seemed to have heard the rumors and came to talk to him, implicitly saying that it would be best for him to settle these rumors as soon as possible. As for asking him to study and re-enter the imperial examination, he did not mention a word.
Doctor Jia Jia Yuzhen was originally stationed in the northwest to manage mining affairs in this area.
Because of the contribution made by Ning Jianren and his team in the discovery of carbon stone, and his many years of business experience, he has basically received accurate information from above. He will be transferred back to Kyoto within half a year and promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.
Once he leaves, the position of Langzhong in the Ministry of Works will become vacant.
After all, this is the place that Jia Yuzhen has run for many years. In order to keep the benefits within the family, he took a fancy to Ning Jianren and hoped to promote him and make him his own.
In this way, even if he returned to Kyoto, this place would still be his territory, and he would still have to pay his share of filial piety.
Ning Jianren is not only handsome in appearance, but also has excellent conversation skills. If he is trained a little, it will not be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination and then he will be able to smoothly take over the Northwest mining business.
As for Jia Yuzhen's plan to marry his youngest daughter to the other party, it was just a means of winning him over.
At this critical moment, Jia Yuzhen heard news from Ximin County that the other party had wives and concubines.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with a man having many wives and concubines. On the contrary, it is a sign of his ability.
But he should never let these opinions spread out. This would be a slap in Jia Yuzhen's face - marrying his daughter to an unknown son-in-law as a concubine?
Ning Jianren thought fiercely that no matter what, he must get rid of that damn woman as soon as possible.
Since public opinion is of no use to a tough guy like her, then let's get down to business. We must kill her as soon as possible!
