First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world
Chapter 176 Lu Jinghui comes again
When they entered the hall, there were only three people there. Ye Shian then briefly explained the matter to the two of them.
Yu Xiuying frowned after hearing this: "You are such a bold girl, how dare you talk back to the Marquis like this."
Ye Xianchun said solemnly, "You are used to being casual, and you don't know how terrible these noble families are. Now that Elder Wei is not in Wanning Mansion, he, as a marquis, can kill our family with any excuse if he wants."
Since Ye Shian came here, most of the people around him are ordinary people. Whether they encounter bandits on the road or fight with the Feng family, they are all people of the same social class, and no one can use their status to bully others.
Even though Mr. Wei was once a powerful person, he was so amiable that she never felt class oppression. This gave her the illusion that Lu Jinghui would not make things difficult for her.
Now being lectured by Ye Xianchun and Yu Xiuying one after another, she could only smile bitterly.
There is no right or wrong in this matter. It is just a microcosm of the ideological conflicts of the times.
Ye Xianchun patiently advised: "Shi'an, I think you should not think about selling the grain at a high price. Just sell it at the price the young marquis said."
Yu Xiuying also echoed: "Yes, Shi'an, the Marquis is not someone we can resist. We will give him whatever money he wants to buy it."
Listening to his sister and mother say this, Ye Shian remained silent.
This is no longer a simple matter of money. It is obvious that the marquis does not think highly of her.
She thought of the scene of herself being surrounded by guards, and at that moment she, who had always been fearless, suddenly became afraid.
It's not like she hadn't fought with others when she was fleeing before, but at that time she and Yu Xiuying were alone. But now it's different, she has a home and family. If Lu Jinghui really wanted to kill her at that time, she would be afraid that she would not be able to escape death.
Now that she thought about it carefully, the Marquis was so tolerant of her because he was afraid of Old Wei. If she could make good use of this relationship, maybe she wouldn't be trapped.
Ye Shian did not say anything despite being persuaded by the two men. She just stood up and said, "I haven't been to Wanning Mansion for a long time. I'll go over there and take a look."
After arriving at Wanning Mansion, Ye Shian went straight to Shen Mansion and chatted with Old Madam Shen, making her laugh continuously.
She asked sideways, but Mrs. Shen did not specify when Mr. Wei would be back.
For two consecutive days, Lu Jinghui did not go to Changning Village. The wheat in the fields had been harvested, and now the only thing left was the final process of drying the wheat. After one day of drying, all the grain would be stored in the granary.
Ye Shian was collecting grain with the villagers in his own granary when Lu Jinghui, who had not been seen for many days, appeared.
Ye Xianchun did not ask anyone to notify Ye Shian. She knew Ye Shian's character too well. If it was not to the girl's liking, she would not give in at all.
"I, Ye Xianchun, greet the young marquis. May you be safe and sound."
Ye Xianchun's standard salute posture and his neither humble nor arrogant appearance made Lu Jinghui have to take a second look.
Behind Lu Jinghui, Wang Xuening nodded slightly to Ye Xianchun as a greeting.
"Humph, the Ye family still has people who know the rules."
"My second sister is used to being casual. If she has offended you, please forgive me."
Lu Jinghui snorted coldly and walked into Ye’s house first.
Wang Xuening stood still, thinking about how she could stay today. But Lu Jinghui stopped after taking only two steps.
"Don't catch up yet."
Wang Xuening followed in silence.
When they arrived at the hall, Lu Jinghui had just sat down when the servants brought in snacks in a stream.
"Why did you come here today, young master?"
"I came here to buy food."
"Young Marquis has arrived at the right time. All the grain can be stored in the warehouse today."
"price……"
"The price is negotiable. I believe the imperial court will not treat us unfairly, and the young marquis will not treat us unfairly either."
Lu Jinghui nodded in satisfaction: "Finally, there is someone who understands things. But the price should still be according to what Miss Shi'an said."
"Oh, this, this is not possible. My family and I are all citizens of Dayuan. If the food we grow can help our Dayuan country, my family and I will be very happy."
Lu Jinghui waved his hand nonchalantly: "Miss Shi'an is right, the price of seeds should be higher than the market price, not to mention such high-yield seeds."
"Young Marquis, please take a rest here. I will order someone to load the food."
She stood up and walked out with a smile, but when she got outside the smile disappeared from her face and was replaced by a sad look.
When Ye Shian learned that Lu Jinghui agreed to buy it at the price she said, he looked at Ye Xianchun suspiciously.
"Sister, you are not lying to me."
"Really not. This young marquis seems to be easy to get along with. Did you misunderstand him before?"
Ye Shian shrugged: "I hope so."
Since he was willing to buy the grain at a high price, Ye Shian was naturally happy to do so. However, she was still cautious and did not sell all the grain. She secretly kept 10,000 kilograms of grain for herself.
Even so, 34,000 kilograms of grain were loaded for Lu Jinghui.
While the Ye family was busy loading grain, Lu Jinghui ordered Wang Xuening to take him to the fields to take a look.
He still remembered what the county magistrate Tian Yong said, that this land was planted with many crops that he had never seen before.
How could Lu Jinghui, who had been pampered since childhood, know about these crops? He specially found a farmer before coming here.
The farmer was wearing a guard's clothes and followed Lu Jinghui. When he arrived at the field, his expression immediately changed.
He excitedly ran from one field to another, looking at the many crops that were growing vigorously, which he had never seen before. He didn't know where to look for a moment.
Seeing him so crazy, Lu Liu walked up to him silently and asked, "How is it?"
"This, this, this is too incredible. I have never seen these things before. Can they really be eaten?"
The farmer had peppers and beans in his hands. He wanted to taste them, but was afraid that they might be poisonous if they were raw.
Lu Jinghui heard the conversation between the two clearly. He tilted his head slightly and asked Wang Xuening something.
“Have you ever eaten these?”
Wang Xue Ning held up the umbrella with both hands: "The red and green ones in his hand are chili peppers, which taste better than Sichuan peppercorns. The long and thin ones are beans, which can be fried or boiled and dried for winter."
"This one over here is a pumpkin, it can be used to make soup or a dish."
"This green onion tastes the same as the ones we usually eat, but it's much bigger."
“Is that a watermelon?”
Lu Jinghui looked at the watermelons that were evenly sized and full of color, and couldn't help but think of the watermelon he had just eaten.
The taste of this watermelon is even better than the tribute.
"I have already ordered people to pick these watermelons and other crops in the field for you, young marquis. Please don't be disgusted by them, young marquis."
When Ye Xianchun knew that Lu Jinghui had come to the field, he immediately followed him.
Lu Jinghui didn't know much about crops, and didn't want to go out in such a hot day. It was because of Tian Yong's words and Wang Xuening's remarks that he became extremely interested in this piece of land, so he ran out to see what it was like.
