Quickly wear a life of peace

Chapter 198 Exile to Lingnan 13

As time went by, Xie Muyan's clothing store gradually became famous, so she struck while the iron was hot and opened a third store. This time, she no longer sold clothes but soap.

Since Xie Muyan had already accumulated a lot of customers, everyone was curious about the new products after the new store opened.

Song Qingning had also been to this store and bought a bar of soap. After using it, he found that although its cleaning effect was not as good as modern soap, it was more convenient and quicker than the soapberry commonly used by people at that time.

Xie Muyan's business grew bigger and bigger, and he made more and more money, which aroused the greed of the Xie family. They began to make trouble frequently, trying to get more benefits from Xie Muyan.

Faced with this situation, in order to protect his reputation and his business, Xie Muyan had no choice but to give some benefits to the Xie family to calm the situation.

In addition to their career success, the relationship between Xie Muyan and Cheng Mufeng also developed very smoothly.

The Cheng family is very much looking forward to the two getting married soon, but Xie Muyan thinks that she is still young and does not want to get married and have children too early, so she has been delaying the wedding.

At the same time, Cheng Mufeng was spotted by an officer and taken to the barracks by chance. Since then, their marriage had to be put on hold.

The various things that happened in the Xie family were watched with great interest by the people around them and became the topic of their conversation after dinner.

The weather is getting colder and typhoons are becoming more frequent than usual.

The women of the Song family, who had always disagreed with Song Changgeng boarding the ship, began to oppose him going out to sea even more.

Even for safety reasons, the ship has not been out to sea since it was delivered.

The Song family's focus shifted to buying land.

The climate in Lingnan is very suitable for plant growth.

However, most of the plants currently grown have not been modified and are not suitable for human taste.

Xie Muyan also thought about the various fruits here, but unfortunately she knew nothing about agriculture, so she gave up in the end.

The lands originally purchased were all used to grow sugarcane.

Song Qingning's farm was thriving. After several months of feeding, he had a good harvest before the New Year.

The ingredients used in the New Year’s Eve dinner were all from her farm, and the taste was slightly improved. Neither the Song nor the Zhou family members had enough.

Especially pork. Although castrated pigs still have some flavor, it is much better than before.

Moreover, Song Qingning has many recipes on hand, and after processing, the original taste of the pork is lost by some percentage.

Mrs. Jia had bad teeth, so Song Qingning specially prepared some soft and tender dishes that were not difficult to chew, such as braised pork and pork with preserved vegetables. Mrs. Jia was so happy with the food that she kept praising Song Qingning for being sensible and filial.

Song Ji Yang and his family couldn't make it back this year, and the elders of the Song family felt a little regretful.

Jia often wondered how they were doing, whether they were safe, how things were going, and when they would be back.

Song Changgeng had no choice but to send Song Qingning and Song Jichang to comfort the old man.

When Song Jiyang and his friends came back, all the pigs in Song Qingning's farm were ready to be slaughtered.

Song Qingning simply killed a few castrated boars, braised them, and sold them in the tofu shop.

The others stayed behind to continue reproducing, much to the regret of those who encountered them and tasted them.

The news that Song Ji Yang and the others brought back was also very good. Song Qingya was living well now. She had a large dowry, and the Sixth Prince felt guilty towards her because she had implicated Song Chang Geng. Therefore, Song Qingya was well taken care of in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and no one neglected her.

Although Song Changgeng has been exiled now, he still has the relationship with the Sixth Prince, so people in the capital are not estranged from the Song family.

Although the interactions between the families were a little colder than before, it was still okay, and Song Jiyang and his friends were not treated coldly.

There was no change in Song Jihong's marriage. Tang Yifeng, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, even hinted that he could prepare for the marriage once the Song family settled down.

There is really no news more joyful than this, and Wang finally had a smile on her face.

As for the sea salt, when Song Jiyang and others returned, the Sixth Prince had already sent people to conduct experiments. He would present the results to the emperor only after they got them.

The best news that Song Jiyang and his men brought back was the news of the Second Prince's misfortune.

Due to the constant disruption of his brothers and the connivance of the emperor, the second prince messed up several tasks one after another and has been reprimanded by the emperor several times. Many of the officials who had surrendered to him have also been purged. No one dares to surrender to him anymore, and those officials who have already surrendered to him are now in danger.

The Sixth Prince also told Song Jiyang that they had been collecting evidence against the official who framed Song Changgeng, and would definitely rehabilitate Song Changgeng.

The whole family was very excited to hear the news. They bowed in the direction of the capital and sincerely thanked the Sixth Prince.

Although Song Changgeng would be able to return to the capital when there was a general amnesty in the future, the difference between being innocent and being pardoned for being guilty was huge.

With the Sixth Prince's words, half of the matter was already settled. Song Changgeng just had to wait patiently.

With his mind relaxed, Song Changgeng no longer worried about his career and began to concentrate on supervising the studies of his three sons.

After all, he was someone who had passed all the tests and won the imperial examination against thousands of enemies. He was no worse than the teachers in this remote academy. In some aspects, he was even better.

Song Qingning continued his great cause of improvement. Now, the crops in the farm not only have a better taste, but the yield has also greatly increased.

When the people working in the farm were tending the crops, they felt that the various crops here were more vigorous and had fuller grains than those they had grown before.

When it was time to harvest, I felt that the yield was greater than what I had grown before.

But when they actually weighed the goods and put them into the warehouse, they realized that it was not their illusion. This time the harvest was 50% higher than usual.

Some sentimental people could not help but cry, crying for their own miserable lives, the miserable lives of their loved ones, the injustice of the world, and the difficulties faced by farmers.

Song Qingning is still not satisfied with the yield. The fertility of the soil is still not enough, and there is room for improvement in the seeds. He has to keep working hard.

This time, in addition to leaving some vegetables and fruits for my family to eat, most of them were saved for seeds.

He kept the part for himself and gave the rest to Zhang.

As the current mistress of the Song family, she is in charge of the family’s fields.

Good things should not be wasted on outsiders, and the benefits must come to one's own family first.

After Zhang learned about the output of Song Qingning's farm, she was shocked. She told Song Changgeng about it in the evening, which shocked Song Changgeng again.
