Chapter 270 Selling My Daughter

"So this is how you can eat sugarcane?"
"This is the first time I've eaten this, it's so juicy and sweet."
"Exactly. I used to use the food I bought in the kitchen to make soup to sober me up, but now I can actually eat it directly."
There were dozens of people in the sugarcane field, squatting in rows and chewing sugarcane.
The girls were at least delicate enough to ask the maid to peel the skin and cut it into small pieces for them to chew slowly.
The others took it in pieces, gnawing on it with their teeth.
"You didn't eat it because you would have to spit out the residue after eating it, which would affect your image."
Qingling took a bite of the fruit and chewed it hard.
"You're right, that's not all. If we have guests at home, the food will be really boring."
Xue Luo agreed, finding it very boring.
"Do your parents usually keep you under control?"
Xue Shu glanced at her.
Xue Luo turned around and gave him a flattering smile, then took a big bite of the sugarcane in her hand.
"What should I do with all the sugarcane?"
"Those in the greenhouse are growing faster. We'll harvest them in a month or so and make purple sand sugar. The rest will have to wait a while; they're not ripe yet."
"All made into candy?"
"Well, some of it is used to make purple sand sugar, and some of it is used to make rock honey."
"What? You want to make rock honey? Seriously?"
Rock sugar is the white sugar of today, but the white sugar of Daxia is between black and red, and cannot be considered pure.
But whether it is for edible or medicinal use, white sugar is in short supply, so Qing Ning thought of trying to make it according to her memory.
"Qingning, what do you need to make rock honey? I'll ask my dad to find it for you."
Xu Chong was extremely excited, Shi Mi sighed!
Daxia's technology is still not mature enough, so the late emperor even sent envoys to India to learn this technology.
"Well, we can help."
"Qing Ning, if you can make rock honey that is better than the ones we have now, it would be unreasonable for the Emperor not to make you the Minister of Agriculture."
Meng Yuanjin was half joking and half serious.
"Become the Minister of Agriculture, be the Minister of Agriculture. When I get back, I will tell Dad to let Sister Qing Ning be the Minister of Agriculture."
Qing Ning grinned and said, "Hehe, appointing a six-year-old kid like me as the Minister of Agriculture, that would be a first."
"What Sister Yuan Jin and my younger sister said is not unreasonable. If I pick out any of your transcripts, I'll be rewarded handsomely. Besides, our dynasty is not without female officials, so why can't I use them?"
Meng Jinhuai looked at Qing Ning with admiration in his eyes.
"You guys should think about these good things first. The rock honey hasn't been made yet. Let's talk about it after it's made."
They trusted her immensely and had no doubts at all, which made Qing Ning quite nervous.
"Girl, girl~something happened!"
Everyone looked back and saw Jiang Zhao running towards them hurriedly.
"Don't worry, Zhao'er. Tell me what happened slowly."
Qingke took a deep breath for her.
"Well, well, Sister Mai Miao's mother and stepfather sold her out."
"What? Sold? How dare they?"
Everyone was very angry and rushed to Grandma Wang's house.
By then, there was a group of people in the yard fighting.
"I'm here to pick up my daughter-in-law. Why won't you let her go?"
A plump woman screamed at Grandma Wang.
"Bah, Mai Miao is from my Mai family. Who do they think they are? How dare they take control of my granddaughter? And who do you think you are? How dare you come here and snatch her away?"
After a year of experience, Granny Wang is no longer a timid old lady.
"I don't care. Since her parents promised her to my son, she belongs to my Wu family."
The woman refused to give in. This was her purse, so she would not feel at ease until she took it back home.
"Mother, the Wu family is also a well-known and wealthy family, and if Mai Miao marries into the family, she will be the principal wife. It won't be unfair to her."
Wang chimed in, saying that this was a good marriage she had worked so hard to obtain, and that the old woman had no good intentions.
"Mai Miao's mother, Miao'er hasn't even reached marriage age yet, how come she's already been arranged to be married?"
"That's right. I haven't taken care of you for ten years, but now you're acting like a mother."
"Don't make any noise or fuss. I've already sent someone to call the village chief. Prince Fu is here too."
The surrounding villagers really looked down on the Wang family, so how could they allow them to take the person away from the village?
When the woman heard the word "Prince", she was frightened and huddled together with Wang Shi to whisper.
"Why is the prince still here?"
"What are you afraid of? Your Highness has to be reasonable, right? I am her mother, so I can naturally make the decision on her marriage."
Wang comforted Wu, and the two were determined to make this marriage happen.
"Make way, Qing Ning and the others are here."
When the villagers saw Qing Ning and his group coming, they automatically made way for them.
Granny Wang hugged Mai Miao, who was crying, her eyes full of resentment.
Wang had seen them before and knew of their noble status, so she felt a little scared.
Wu had never seen so many handsome men and women before, and she was overwhelmed by the sight.
"Mom, I don't want her to be my wife, I want them to be my wives."
Suddenly, a boy about ten years old jumped out and tried to hug Xue Mingxiang who was nearby.
Xue Mingxiang was unable to react in time and was so frightened that he stood still, his face full of horror.
Fortunately, Qingke was close by and reacted quickly, kicking the boy to the ground.
The kick was so powerful that Qingke didn't even have any strength left. The boy cried out in pain.
When Mrs. Wu saw that her son was beaten, she felt both distressed and dissatisfied.
"Where did you come from, little whore, to hit my son?"
He hurriedly helped his son up and looked at his injuries, and even lifted up his clothes and took off his pants in front of everyone.
"You are such a shameless woman! How can you be so shameless?"
The villagers couldn't bear to watch it anymore, as there were many important people here.
"What happened? My son was kicked by her, and I can't even check if he's injured."
Mrs. Wu didn't care about all this, and the girls around her avoided her in disgust.
After checking and confirming that there was nothing serious, she felt relieved. She kept coaxing her crying son and gave him some candy, and the crying gradually stopped.
"You little whore, you dare to hit my son, I will tear you apart."
Seeing that her son was calmed down, Mrs. Wu turned around and started cursing at Qingke again, pretending to hit him.
Qin Zheng stepped in front of Qingke and said sternly, "Who are you trying to tear? Your son almost bumped into the nobleman, and this kick was just a light blow. If he touches even the corner of the nobleman's clothes today, you won't be able to kill him."
Wu's heart trembled, and she didn't dare to step forward. She just stiffened her neck and said, "Didn't he touch her? Besides, he's just a child. Even if he did, what would happen?"
"Where are you from, woman?"
The village chief's voice came from outside the crowd. When the villagers saw the village chief coming, they all stepped back.
"Who are you?"
"I am the village chief of Chenjia Village."
Mrs. Wu immediately put on a smiling face and politely bowed.
"Village Chief, I'm from Baixi County. Today I'm here with my son to pick up my daughter-in-law."
"Who is your daughter-in-law? Stop spouting nonsense."
Granny Wang spat at her fiercely.
"Why not? We've exchanged engagement letters, her mother has accepted the betrothal gifts, and we've sent a matchmaker. We're a family that values etiquette."
Wang was not afraid at all. She didn't come here casually and without any reason.
Pulling Wu over, he said to the crowd, "Fellow-in-law, tell me, isn't it true? I gave you all the twenty taels of betrothal silver."
The crowd gasped and talked endlessly.
"Twenty taels of silver for a betrothal gift, that's really not a small amount!"
"That's right, this Wu family is really brave enough to accept it."
"That kid looks like he has a weird head. I'm afraid that's why he's so tall."
"This Baixi County is not close to here~"
Everyone was whispering and pointing at them.
