Chapter 351 I have to give her some extra food at night

. Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu chatted for a while. Yuan Xiu asked: "Madam, why did you come to the border today?"

Lin Xuezhu thought about it, and if she wanted to say this, she would I have to start from the beginning.

So, she handed a note she had just written to Yuan Xiu.

He said, "Husband, I plan to open a glaze workshop in Anbei City."

"Liu glaze?" This was the first time Yuan Xiu heard this word and he found it very strange.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "It is something transparent and similar to crystal, but it can be made artificially."

Yuan Xiu was very surprised and asked: "What about the raw materials?"

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "We have quartz sandstone in Anbei City. , river and lake sedimentary deposits."

Yuan Xiu was shocked, "Has Madam found it?"

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "I saw it by chance before, but the conditions were not mature at that time, so we put this idea aside for now. With a large area of ​​grain growing in the north, eating is no longer a problem, and I have more time to explore business opportunities. " " Hahahaha." Yuan

Xiu said with a hearty laugh: "As expected of my wife, your little mind is so fast."

Fold those notes and put them away in the space.

She said: "Husband, let's go get some quartz sand and come back. I'm going to try to make something."

In her previous life, she was bored and went to a glass workshop and learned to make glass products from others.

But because he was too weak, he failed during the glass blowing and shaping process.

In this life, she had spiritual spring water in her space. With the dual blessing of spiritual spring water and space magnetic field, she drank and became a strong woman.

The physical work of making glass is naturally not a problem.

Now that you have the skills and physical strength, of course you can start.

So, Lin Xuezhu called Yan Da and Ma Ma, plus herself and Yuan Xiu, and planned to build a stove in the mountain col in the backyard.

She thought this matter was quite simple, but she ignored one issue.

That is, the family is seriously short of manpower!

Lu Mo and the three Hu brothers are not here, and there are no Lin Chengzhang and Lin Chengyao who can occasionally act as strong laborers.

The work on building the furnace was proceeding very slowly.

Two days passed. Lin Xuezhu looked at the half-finished stove and felt a little anxious.

At this time, Xie Yunling came to visit the house.

She held an exquisite porcelain box and knocked on the door for a long time before she met Mother Ma who came back to get water.

Mother Ma took her to the backyard, and she caught up with Lin Xuezhu carrying several large stones and walking towards the stove.

Seeing Xie Yuling, Lin Xuezhu said, "Niece, wait

a minute, I'll be there soon." "No rush..." Xie Yunling's heart lurched, fearing that Lin Xuezhu would be distracted and the stone would fall and hit her foot.

She didn't dare to say anything, so she waited quietly. Lin Xuezhu placed the stone, walked towards her, and said

with a smile: "What's the matter?"

I bought a box of rouge to give to my aunt."

Lin Xuezhu knew the box was worth a lot of money and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

The dog emperor ransacked everything.

She didn't believe that a lady like Xie Yunling knew how to hide money.

Xie Yunling smiled, that smile was from the bottom of her heart, filled with satisfaction and pride.

She said: "Since my aunt invented the tool, our work has been free. I used my spare time to find a job doing laundry for the officers and soldiers. I can earn some copper coins a month."

Lin Xuezhu was a little surprised.

You have to wash clothes for a month to get some copper coins. After saving for so long, you actually used them to buy rouge for her?

She couldn't bear to say: "You are stupid, why don't you buy something for yourself if you have money? I'm not short of money, so there's no need for you to buy it for me."

Xie Yunling showed her eight small white teeth and said, "Auntie has a lot of things for herself." , I bought it, how can it be the same?"

As she said this, she approached Lin Xuezhu and said, "My brother didn't let me tell you, but he also contributed to this box of rouge."

"Huh?" This is quite surprising to Lin Xuezhu. Surprised.

Xie Yunling was obviously very happy and said: "When my brother was exiled at first, he was depressed for a long time. Thanks to his meeting with his aunt one day and being scolded by his aunt, he cheered up. I heard that I wanted to buy some for my aunt. He went to find a job. As long as my aunt knows about it, don't tell my brother, he is awkward

.

You have to be scolded to cheer up.

Lin Xuezhu felt that since this rouge was Xie Yunling's heart, she would probably break her heart if she didn't accept it.

So, she went to the basin to clean her hands, opened the porcelain box, dipped some rouge, and put some rouge on Xie Yunling's and her own mouths.

Xie Yunling has never put on rouge since she left the eldest princess's mansion.

He was also very happy at this time, pursed his upper and lower lips, and smiled.

Lin Xuezhu accepted the rouge and said to Xie Yunling: "If your brother fails again in the future, you come to me and I will scold you again!"

Poof, Xie Yunling laughed out loud and nodded in agreement.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her and looked very cheerful. It seemed that she was living a good life during this period.

This kid has a good temper. If he has a tougher temper and stops being bullied, he should be able to live a good life.

Xie Yunling looked at the people who were still working and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"Make a stove." Lin Xuezhu answered naturally.

"Are you too busy? Can I help too?" Xie Yunling said.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her thin arms and legs and asked, "Are you okay?"

"If I can't do the heavy work, I can just do a little bit. Otherwise, when there is no work to do, I will be bored by myself. Here, I can't do it." I'm happy to be able to talk to my aunt," Xie Yunling said.

Lin Xuezhu thought this was a good idea.

The family is really short of manpower for work, so I asked Xie Yunling to help. At worst, I can prepare a delicious meal in the evening and treat the little girl well.

So I agreed.

Xie Yunling was about to roll up her sleeves when she suddenly remembered something and said, "I asked my brother to come too."

Lin Xuezhu raised her eyebrows, "Your brother? Can he come?"

"If he doesn't come, I'll take care of him!" Xie Yunling said, Ran towards the front yard.

Lin Xuezhu looked at her agile back and couldn't help but smile.

This little girl has changed so much compared to when she first arrived in the North!

Now, even her prodigal brother has been cured by her, with good methods.

Lin Xuezhu planned to wait and see if she could pull Xie Yunkai over later.

If she pulls this over, Gao Luo will have to give her two extra dishes in the evening.

After less than two sticks of incense, Xie Yunling ran back panting, followed by a reluctant Xie Yunkai.

Lin Xuezhu was happy when she saw it.

Oh, she really pulled me here!

Chapter 352: Taking Advantage of the Barbarians' Capital

"Auntie, what should we do?" Xie Yunling asked cheerfully.

"My niece can help pass the things. As for my eldest nephew, you can move the rocks." Lin Xuezhu said unceremoniously.

Xie Yunkai looked a little awkward. He frowned and stared at Lin Xuezhu, but he still followed his instructions and went to move the rocks.

Yuan Xiu has always had a bad impression of his nephew, especially the one he met on the exile road.

Therefore, the two did not communicate much.

On the other hand, Lin Xuezhu, Xie Yunling and Grandma Ma had a great time chatting.

From what he saw on the exile road to life in the north, we can talk about anything.

Lin Xuezhu hasn't talked so much with anyone for a long time.

Ever since her family members were released one after another and moved to Feiyun City, there were fewer and fewer people she could talk to.

Although she didn't think it was a problem because most of the time, she had something to do.

But it feels good to chat with people occasionally.

It was night in a flash.

Mother Ma went back early to prepare dinner, and the others worked until dark.

After returning home, Grandma Ma happened to have cooked the meal.

Six people gathered at the table and ate happily.

Xie Yunkai has always been quite silent. From the time he entered the Lin family's door to sitting at the dinner table, except for necessary communication when working, he turned off his microphone at other times.

Lin Xuezhu thought it was good. As a man, gossiping is not a good thing.

Just talk less and do more.

Mother Ma was quite enthusiastic, although she had also heard of Xie Yunkai's "deeds".

However, since he can come and work for the family, he is a good boy.

Grandma Ma kept giving Xie Yun some vegetables, asking him to eat more.

Although Xie Yunkai didn't say anything, he still finished all the food that Mother Ma gave him.

After the meal, Xie Yunling had another short conversation with Lin Xuezhu, then said goodbye and left.

Xie Yunkai just saluted Yuan Xiu and Lin Xuezhu and followed his sister.

Lin Xuezhu said to Yuan Xiu with a smile: "These brothers and sisters have changed quite a lot."

Yuan Xiu nodded, "If you suffer a loss, you have to learn a lesson. They did a good job and it was also a good education from the eldest sister."

Lin Xuezhu agreed.

Thanks to Princess Hengyu, a person with upright views, she taught Xie Yunling a very sensible education and prevented Xie Yunkai from being led astray by Feng Pinghou.

For several days, Xie Yunling and Xie Yunkai went to the Lin family to help.

Sometimes Xie Yunling went to wash clothes for the officers and soldiers, and Xie Yunkai himself would go to help.

He still doesn't talk much, just works silently.

This made Lin Xuezhu a little suspicious, whether this child had a mental problem.

However, he eats a lot for dinner every day, and he tends to eat more and more liberally.

Lin Xuezhu gave up his idea again.

If there is a psychological problem, you will definitely lose your appetite.

If you can eat and sleep, you are still healthy.

Lin Xuezhu counted the time and went to Feiyun City to find Kong Bo.

Sure enough, Kong Bo had already handed the certificate to the court.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Master Kong, those people from the Tata tribe who came over are still in prison. I'm worried that over time, they will cause misunderstandings and lead to bad relations between the two parties. I suggest that we give out some food first and exchange some with them. Animals, to show sincerity."

"Yes." Kong Bo was also worried about how to explain to the people of the Tata tribe.

After all, it is still unclear whether the paper he wrote on the trade proposal will be approved by the court. He can't make any promises to the Tata tribe at the moment.

Over time, it is indeed a hidden danger.

Giving food first is a good idea, it is enough to show the sincerity on their side.

"I will write a letter right now, have it translated, and send it to the Tata tribe." Kongbo said.

Lin Xuezhu nodded and said: "The food exchanged for one cow will definitely last longer than one cow. The people of the Tata tribe will be more stable if they have food. Mr. Kong, I have one more thing to ask Mr. Kong. Help."

"What's the matter?" Kong Bo asked immediately.

Usually at this time, Mrs. Lin has some good ideas in her mind that will benefit the country and the people.

As a good official, Kong Bo will naturally support her fully.

Lin Xuezhu said: "I want to exchange some sick animals with them and do some research."

This was beyond Kong Bo's expectation. He couldn't help but ask: "What research?"

"Cure the disease." Lin Xuezhu said with a smile. : "My uncle is a doctor who can save people and maybe livestock. My idea is that in the future we will rely on trade with the barbarians to expand the breeding industry in the north. If we want to raise livestock ourselves, we must There must be certain preventive measures against the epidemic. Otherwise, the livestock will die in large numbers and the losses will be immeasurable."

Kong Bo suddenly realized, and his admiration for Lin Xuezhu rose to a new level.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Mrs. Lin is far-sighted.

For something that even the Northern Governor had not thought of, Mrs. Lin had planned it in advance.

Such foresight and broad-mindedness are rare even among men.

Thinking of the future where cattle would plow the land and have meat to eat in the north, what else could he not agree to?

He nodded immediately and promised to explain the matter.

Three days later, the grain carriage arrived at the border.

At the same time, the Tata tribe also came with their livestock.

According to the agreement, the people of the Tata tribe gave two sick cows and two sick sheep, and also gave three healthy cows and three healthy sheep, and returned from the north in exchange for eight carts of grain.

Six of the cars were exchanged at equal value, and the other two cars were given to them on credit by the North as a token of their gratitude.

When they have enough livestock, they can repay the favor of these two carts.

This was also Lin Xuezhu's idea for Kong Bo. The basis was that favors must be owed back and forth in order to maintain a long-term relationship.

With these eight carts of food, the small tribe of Tata can survive for at least half a year.

However, they also expressed confusion about the North's willingness to exchange grain for sick animals.

On their grasslands, once animals become sick, they must be killed and cremated to prevent the disease from spreading to other animals.

Is this northerner mentally ill or something? He actually wants to bring sick animals back.

However, it was a good thing for them that the northerners were mentally ill, so they didn't dare to ask any more questions and just obeyed.

On the day of the transaction, Battelle also went.

He didn't expect that what the northern woman said was actually true.

Not only did Beijing not intend to take action against his people, but he also wanted to help them solve their problems.

He wanted to see the northern woman again and express his gratitude to her.

Unfortunately, he searched for a long time among the people delivering food, but could not find Lin Xuezhu.

Battle was quite disappointed and followed his tribe back home step by step.

At this time, Lin Xuezhu was at home, waiting for the officers and soldiers to bring the sick animals to her.

She had prepared the spiritual spring water and was just waiting for the animals to arrive to feed them immediately.

She would like to see if this spiritual spring water is useful for people and plants. Is it also useful for sick animals?

If she could really cure the animals...hehe, wouldn't she have the capital to take advantage of the barbarians!

Chapter 353 From now on, her husband's

two sick cows and two sick sheep were sent to the Lin family by the officers and soldiers.

Also coming with the officers and soldiers was Kong Bo.

Lin Xuezhu felt very surprised. After all, the chief of the Tata tribe was still in prison. There was no one in the Tata tribe who had the same status as Kong Bo. Logically speaking, he did not have to come forward.

However, he went anyway.

Not for anything else, just for the hard-earned few cows and sheep that he regarded as treasures.

Afraid that healthy animals would get sick if they were mixed with unhealthy animals, he supervised the entire process and transported the two types of animals separately.

It wasn't until Anbeicheng, when he saw Lin Xuezhu taking in the sick animals, that he heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Xuezhu greeted: "Master Kong, since you are here, why not come in and sit down for a while. I have something I want to discuss with Master Kong."

Kong Bo asked: "Is Mr. Yuan at home?"

Lin Xuezhu replied: "My husband hasn't gotten off yet. Work, but Uncle Yan and Grandma Ma are both here."

Hearing that there were others at home, Kong Bo nodded with relief.

Lin Xuezhu smiled secretly.

Why, I can still invite you in when there's no one at home. Could it be that I don't know what's going on?

Welcoming Kong Bo into the house, with the door open, Lin Xuezhu winked at Mother Ma.

Mother Ma understood and ran to the kitchen to make tea.

After a while, she came back carrying a wooden tray.

Kong Bo saw at a glance that the tea set on the tray was very different.

Crystal clear, like crystal but somewhat different from crystal.

"Ms. Lin, your tea set is quite unique," Kong Bo said.

Lin Xuezhu greeted with a smile, "Master Kong, you can play with it and see how it is."

Kong Bo was very interested in this new tea set. Hearing this, he took the tea cup in his hand and looked at it over and over.

"Ms. Lin, what kind of material is this?" he asked.

"This is colored glaze." Lin Xuezhu replied, "I made it myself."

Kong Bo was shocked.

This was the first time he had heard of Liuli, but could Mrs. Lin know how to make it?

Lin Xuezhu said, "Master Kong, why don't you come with me to the backyard?"

Kong Bo knew that she was going to show off her skills again, so he quickly got up and followed her to the backyard.

Lin Xuezhu's glaze kiln in the backyard has been built, and the equipment needed for making glaze is also placed on the ground.

She explained the production process to Kong Bo in detail.

Kong Bo was stunned for a while.

Finally, Lin Xuezhu asked: "Master Kong, do you think this colored glaze will be marketable?"

Kong Bo thought carefully for a long time and answered honestly: "If the price is reasonable, there should be no problem, but if the price is too high, it may not be suitable for Beijing."

"My target customers are not the people in the north, but the dignitaries and businessmen from all over the country." Lin Xuezhu said: "To make money from the common people, I have to make small profits but make little profit. " What you earn is money from rich people, using a small amount of goods in exchange for high returns."

Kong Bo thought for a while and thought this might work.

The production of colored glaze is so troublesome and the cost must be very high. Perhaps only the rich can afford it.

He couldn't help but sigh, "Ms. Lin is awake."

Lin Xuezhu said, "Do you believe me, Mr. Kong?"

"I do," Kong Bo said without hesitation.

Lin Xuezhu smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Kong Bo.

Said: "This is the process of making colored glaze, as well as the sketch of the colored glaze kiln and related tools. I dedicate it to the entire northern border."

"What?" Kong Bo couldn't believe it.

Did he hear it correctly?

Is she going to dedicate this kind of craftsmanship that can be passed down to the family again?

"What's wrong?" Lin Xuezhu was puzzled.

Kong Bo said: "Ms. Lin, I thought this business was your own idea."

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "Why should I open a business? I am just a sinner, and sinners cannot own any property."

All the shops she bought, Houses are all recorded in other people's names.

After hearing this, Kong Bo sighed, filled with emotions.

Lin Xuezhu said: "My personal success or failure, honor or disgrace is not important. The northern border is the defense line of this country, and it is the eternal concern in my husband's heart. I donated the colored glass in the hope that it can make money for us in the northern border, so that everyone can live a better life." Have a good life."

"Ms. Lin..." Kong Bo's eyes were a little red.

After a long while, he bowed deeply to Lin Xuezhu.

"The people in the world may not know what you have done for the North, but I, Kong Bo, know it and will remember it for the rest of my life."

Lin Xuezhu felt a little embarrassed when she saw what he said sincerely.

Although those grandiose words were not false, when she said them with dignity, she had no intention of letting others remember them for a lifetime.

What's wrong with her doing something for the world? From now on, the world belongs to her husband, so what's the point between you and me?

However, you still have to say something dignified, otherwise how can you establish your character and impress Kong Bo.

Lin Xuezhu's heart is true, but many of her words are meant to achieve her goals.

Sure enough, after Kong Bo sincerely thanked him, he accepted Lin Xuezhu's proposal to open a glaze workshop in Anbei City.

But to do this, you must first have money.

Lin Xuezhu naturally recommended Xingsheng Bank.

When the government has no money, it borrows money, and when it makes money, it repays the loan. As time goes by, currency circulates.

Only when there is circulation can there be a market, and only then can the economic order in the north be fully restored.

However, Lin Xuezhu thought of beauty, but Kong Bo was a little hesitant.

He said: "Ms. Lin, you have already borrowed money from Xingsheng Bank to plant seeds, and now you are borrowing money to build a glaze workshop. What if something goes wrong and you can't pay back the loan?"

Looking at his sad look, Lin Xuezhu almost burst into laughter.

If you can't pay it off, then you can pay it off. Anyway, she took out this silver from the space and used it to exchange her left hand for her right hand.

It's just for circulation.

As for whether she can make money, she doesn't care at all.

As long as the money stays up north.

However, she couldn't talk to Kong Bo about these things, so she had to say: "Master Kong, you must have confidence. The loan can extend the period, but if you don't take the first step, you will never get it done."

Kong Bo After thinking about it, it seems to be the same.

Although borrowing is risky, Liulicongfang must be opened.

Food alone is not enough for the North to become rich quickly. It must have advantages that other places do not have.

Thinking of this, Kong Bo made up his mind.

If he borrows money, he will borrow money. Even if he loses money and goes to the street to beg for food, he still has to pay back the money.

If he can't pay it back, let his son pay it back. If his son can't pay it back, let his grandson pay it back.

In short, it will definitely pay off in the end.

Lin Xuezhu had no idea that Mr. Kong in front of her had such tragic thoughts in his heart.

Seeing that Kong Bo agreed to her proposal, she said no more and gave Kong Bo a set of glass vases.

She specially mixed the color of this glass vase, using sulfur to create an orange-yellow gradient, which is very beautiful.

Kong Bo couldn't put it down and became more confident that the Liuli business would succeed.

He had never been a procrastinator, so he left immediately and went back to the prefect's mansion to make preparations.

Chapter 354: This was all pretentious.

As soon as Kong Bo left, Lin Xuezhu hurriedly went to see the sick cows and sheep.

She is not a veterinarian and cannot diagnose diseases.

But she knew that spiritual spring water could cure all diseases.

Therefore, she fed the cattle and sheep with spiritual spring water and added some fodder that she had prepared early in the morning.

At first, the sick cow and sheep didn't eat anything, probably because they lost their appetite during the illness.

But the next morning, Lin Xuezhu found that the amount of fodder had decreased.

Although the two cows and two sheep didn't eat much, as long as they were willing to eat, it meant that their bodies were slowly recovering.

This result was not beyond Lin Xuezhu's expectation.

She took some more spiritual spring water from the space, fed it to the cattle and sheep, and then went to work.

Two hours later, when she returned home, she saw Mother Ma carrying a bamboo basket and walking out in a hurry.

Lin Xuezhu called her and asked: "Mother Ma, where are you going?"

Mother Ma replied: "Miss Xuezhu, I went out to get some fodder. The cattle and sheep in our pen are humming with hunger."

" Really?" Lin Xuezhu quickened his pace and ran home to take a look.

Sure enough, as Mother Ma said, half of the circle was mooing and the other half was bleating, and it was very noisy.

The troughs where the fodder was kept were empty, not even a scrap of grass was left.

Lin Xuezhu smiled.

Eating so much shows that your appetite has improved.

Just as she was about to go out to find Mother Ma, Yan Da walked out carrying a large bamboo basket.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu, he said directly: "Miss Xuezhu, I'm going to help the old lady cut the grass. You can go back to the house and rest."

"Okay, then you can cut more." Lin Xuezhu didn't fight and hurried into the house.

She still has a lot of farm work to do in her space. She is just waiting for the cows and sheep to recover so that she can make new arrangements.

She didn't know how long it took, but when she came out of the space, she saw Yuan Xiu sitting aside.

"Come out?" Yuan Xiu was used to Lin Xuezhu closing his eyes to rest from time to time and being unable to wake up no matter how he screamed.

He knew that it was Madam's consciousness entering the space.

What's left outside is just a body.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, took out a large fruit platter, handed it to Yuan Xiu and said, "Husband, eat it, there are more and more of these in my space."

Yuan Xiu looked at the colorful, plump and fresh fruits and was speechless for a moment.

On the way to exile, every time his wife said that she had picked wild fruits again, how come no one in the family suspected it?

He had never seen such a beautiful fruit, and he had never seen such a big fruit...

Maybe his wife was too good at deceiving them.

Yuan Xiu picked up a big cherry and stuffed it into his mouth.

One bite bursts with juice, filling your mouth with sweetness.

Even though he was not a very voracious person, he was somewhat addicted to this taste and couldn't extricate himself.

The couple didn't talk, just sat facing each other and eating fruit.

A few days later, the cows and sheep that drank the water from the spiritual spring fully recovered.

Lin Xuezhu planned to take the cow out for a walk, so he took one to the construction site.

Everything she was supposed to pull was tied to the cow.

Not only that, she also increased the weight of the cow and tied it twice as much.

As a result, the oxen pulled without any burden and even looked relaxed.

Lin Xuezhu was happy, he could have more of these strong cows.

Wang Shen saw Lin Xuezhu working with the cow and said with a smile: "Ms. Lin, have you healed this cow?"

"It's been cured." Lin Xuezhu said, "Look, it works so smoothly."

"Ms. Lin It's really amazing." Wang Shen said sincerely.

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "Master Wang, can you go to Master Huang and say a nice word for me? The fact that I healed the cow must be spread to the ears of the Tata tribe."

Wang Shen is a smart man. After thinking for a while, Then we understood Lin Xuezhu's intention.

He nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, we will let the people of the Tata tribe know about this as quickly as possible."

Lin Xuezhu was very satisfied.

Working with the oxen today was faster than before, and she finished the work quickly, attracting the envy of everyone on the construction site.

In her spare time, she began to delve into firing colored glaze.

What can be added to make the glass change color, and how to match the colors to make it look good.

She found that there was too little chemistry in this era.

Including many colored chemicals that can be added to the glass, she cannot obtain them.

However, she was not in a hurry. After all, as long as she could make colored glaze, she would be far ahead of the times.

When it comes to striving for excellence, just do it slowly.

Kong Bo's work efficiency was very high, and he quickly built a colored glaze workshop in the mountains in accordance with Lin Xuezhu's site selection and requirements.

On this day, Wang Shen came to send a message and asked Lin Xuezhu to go to Liulicongfang to see if there was anything that needed improvement.

So, Lin Xuezhu took her lamb out.

Wang Shen was puzzled, "Ms. Lin, why are you taking the sheep with you?"

"It's okay, just let it go out to eat grass, so as not to suffocate it at home every day." Lin Xuezhu said lightly.

Wang Shen immediately asked someone to find a cart and tied the two sheep to it, and then asked Lin Xuezhu to get on the cart.

The group of people headed towards the mountains at the border slowly.

On the way, Lin Xuezhu asked: "The news I asked Mr. Wang to pass to the Tata tribe before was passed on?"

"It has been passed on a long time ago, but the people of the Tata tribe seem to have done nothing." Wang Shen replied.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "I guess they don't believe it."

Wang Shen suddenly realized, "So Mrs. Lin brought the sheep out today?"

Lin Xuezhu smiled awkwardly.

This is indeed her purpose.

However, bringing sheep to the border is also a matter of luck.

In case the people from the Tata tribe didn't see it, she would have had nothing.

Therefore, she did not tell Wang Shen her true intention at the beginning.

Otherwise it would be a waste of time, it would look silly.

Who would have thought that this kid would react so quickly.

Wang Shen's reaction was really quick. Seeing Lin Xuezhu's embarrassment, he immediately realized that he said something he shouldn't have said.

So shut up quickly and don't say another word.

When the group arrived at the border, Lin Xuezhu took the two sheep off the cart and tied them to a big rock closest to the border.

Then, I went to see Liulicongfang with Wang Shen and others.

Kong Bo is truly a man of extraordinary ability.

In such a short period of time, the Liulic Workshop was able to be built according to Lin Xuezhu's wishes.

Lin Xuezhu made a big circle and only made a few small comments.

Wang Shen led others and wrote down all her opinions.

Afterwards, the group left the Liulicong Workshop.

Lin Xuezhu planned to go to the border to take a look. If no one happened to be passing by the Tata tribe, she would take the sheep back.

However, what she didn't expect was that she saw a familiar figure north of the border.

The young man's stature, swift movement speed, and nimble eyes were staring at the two lambs accurately.

"Battle!" Lin Xuezhu was so excited.

She didn't expect that her pretentious behavior could actually be seen by the people of the Tata tribe!

Chapter 355: We have no land, but the barbarian tribe does.

"You cured Batu and Tana!" the little boy shouted excitedly to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu realized that Batu and Tana were the names of the two sheep.

This is great, the little boy happens to know these two sheep.

The little boy was going to be her living advertisement.

Lin Xuezhu greeted him with a smile.

The two looked at each other across the border and smiled.

"Do you know them?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

The little boy replied: "They are my lambs, but they are sick."

As he spoke, there was sadness in his eyes.

Lin Xuezhu knew that prairie people had always had unusual feelings for livestock.

Many people's playmates when they were young were lambs, calves, ponies and the like.

Therefore, Lin Xuezhu simply said: "Since they are your lambs, you can take them back."

"Really?" A surprise expression appeared on the little boy's face.

But soon, he shook his head in disappointment, "No, they are already your lambs."

Lin Xuezhu was moved by his simplicity and said, "I asked for them because I wanted to try my medical skills. Now that I have cured their diseases, they are of no use to me. If you don't take them back, I will kill them for meat in a few days."

"No!" The little boy subconsciously wanted to cross over. Borderline to protect his lambs.

Lin Xuezhu quickly reached out to stop him, untied the lamb's rope and threw it across the border.

The little boy was in disbelief and ecstatically picked up the rope and glanced at Lin Xuezhu gratefully.

Lin Xuezhu asked, "Why did you come to the border again? Could it be that you came to see your father?"

"I came to see you." The little boy said firmly.

Lin Xuezhu was surprised and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

The little boy lowered his head and said shyly, "You are a good person. I lied to you last time."

"Huh?" Lin Xuezhu was puzzled.

The little boy said: "My name is Jizhigla, which means happiness. When you asked me last time, I lied to you and said I was called a hero."

Poof!

Lin Xuezhu smiled.

After working on it for a long time, just for this trivial matter?

"Then how long have you been blocking me here?" Lin Xuezhu asked curiously.

The little boy said, "I come here every day, and I saw someone on that mountain, but it wasn't you."

Lin Xuezhu really wanted to reach across the border and touch the little boy's head!

How could she call such a simple and kind little boy a barbarian?

"I forgive you." She said, "Although you lied to me, I still want to praise you. It is a good thing to be wary of strangers. It will be the same in the future. Don't tell the truth to strangers easily."

"I got it. ." The little boy's expression suddenly became clear.

Lin Xuezhu waved to him, "Go back."

"Wait." The little boy stopped her and said, "I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Lin Xuezhu, you can call me Sister Lin from now on." Lin Xuezhu said cheerfully.

"Sister Lin." The little boy seemed satisfied.

Lin Xuezhu didn't waste any more time, turned around and left.

Walking next to Wang Shen, Wang Shen gave her a thumbs up.

Lin Xuezhu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart - her face was saved.

Wang Shen sent Lin Xuezhu home.

A few days later, the preparations for the Liulicong Workshop were completed.

Kong Bo asked Lin Xuezhu to go in person to guide the workers.

Lin Xuezhu readily agreed.

This time, as a sign of attention, Kong Bo also came.

Lin Xuezhu taught the craftsmen how to bake and shape them, and he watched from the side.

Not only read, but also remembered very carefully.

I even want to try it out.

As a result, he saw that Lin Xuezhu was very easy to operate. When it was his turn, he couldn't blow or twist, and he was embarrassed in vain.

Kong Bo said sarcastically: "Ms. Lin, I didn't expect that as a man, I am not as strong as you. It seems that doing hard work is a good workout."

Lin Xuezhu almost couldn't help laughing.

Although it is true that she does hard work to exercise her body, her body is blessed by spiritual spring water.

Most people who want to achieve her level of quality may not be able to do it without ten years of fitness skills.

Lin Xuezhu joked, "How about Mr. Kong do some hard work?"

"Ms. Lin is just kidding." Kong Bo quickly took a few steps back.

Lin Xuezhu thought he was funny, but she also knew that jokes should be moderate, so she continued her teaching.

The morning passed quickly.

When the weather was hottest in the afternoon, everyone evacuated outside the cave.

Although the sun was shining brightly, walking away from the hot stove made me feel as cool as if I were in the sun.

This means that without comparison, there is no harm.

The group of people found a shady place to sit down, and the officers and soldiers distributed water and steamed buns to everyone.

Kong Bo apologized: "Ms. Lin, the place is remote and there is nothing good to eat. You can make do with it for a while. When we get back to Feiyun City, I will invite you and Mr. Yuan to a restaurant for dinner."

"That's not necessary. I'll give you the steamed buns and water. " You can eat it too." Lin Xuezhu said, taking a big bite of the bun and chewing it.

What we are saying is that the food at home is so good that if you suddenly change it, you will lose weight.

Seeing that Lin Xuezhu was not pretentious, everyone's favorability towards her increased a lot.

Kong Bo said: "Ms. Lin, the chief of the barbarian Jiji tribe sent a message to ask Sister Lin for medicine."

At this point, Kong Bo paused and looked helpless, "Although I don't know, he Where did Sister Lin find out about this? But I heard from Master that the chiefs of the Jiji tribe are in their forties. "

Pfft!

Lin Xuezhu couldn't bear it anymore and almost spit out the water she just drank.

She knew what was going on. It must be because Jirigela didn't remember her name and only remembered the three words "Sister Lin"!

Well, her grassland name will be "Sister Lin" from now on.

Let alone the forty-year-old chief of the Jiji tribe, all the longevity girls in the tribe might call her "sister".

Invisibly, he is an elder.

Lin Xuezhu digested the matter and said to Kong Bo the words he had prepared a long time ago: "Master Kong, in fact, besides Liuli Workshop, I have another idea."

"What idea?" Kong Bo immediately put down the words he had just sent to him. The bun on the side of his mouth showed a serious face.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Sugar making."

"Sugar?" Kong Bo's eyes shone.

Sugar, like salt, is a rare condiment.

But because sugar is not necessary for life, unlike salt, it is not controlled by the government.

But if anyone could make sugar, it would be big business.

How many rich people in the world are just waiting for a bite of candy.

Lin Xuezhu said: "To make sugar, you must first have the raw materials for sugar extraction. Our climate in the north is not suitable for growing sugar cane, but it is suitable for growing sugar beets. Sugar beets can also be made into sugar."

After she finished speaking, Kong Bo suddenly felt very embarrassed. .

"Ms. Lin, all the land in our northern border is used to grow food. Where can we grow beets?"

Food and beets are good, but you can't have both.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and said confidently: "We have no land, but the barbarian tribes do!"

Chapter 356:

Kong Bo looked so innocent when he stared.

Madam Lin has already set her sights on the barbarian tribe?

No respect, no respect, it turns out that the situation can be opened up like this!

For a moment, Kong Bo didn't know how to admire Lin Xuezhu.

However, he thought for a while and then asked: "The pastures of the barbarian tribes are used for grazing. Can we grow beets?"

Lin Xuezhu said: "I have considered this issue. We use beets to squeeze sugar. The underground part and the leaves on the ground can still be eaten by livestock."

Kong Bo clapped his hands and said excitedly: "That's right, it won't affect their grazing."

Lin Xuezhu said, "It doesn't mean it won't affect them. They have to watch. Don't let the animals dig up the land. My suggestion is to use half of the pasture to grow sugar beets and cut the leaves of the sugar beets manually to use as supplementary fodder for the animals. We can use food or other things to compensate them for the extra labor." " Very

good." Kong Bo nodded repeatedly, "I will write to the chief of the Jiji tribe and tell him about this."

As long as they agree to this, they can get medicine for the animals and some food from me. As for the method of growing beets, I can write it down or teach them myself." Lin Xuezhu said.

Kong Bo was so excited that he rubbed his hands together and promised repeatedly, "I'll go back and write right away. I won't waste a moment."

Lin Xuezhu was really impressed by the prefect, and he was as energetic as a child.

She asked deliberately: "Master Kong, don't you want to see us making colored glaze?"

"Next time, next time." Kong Bo said, holding a water bowl in one hand and steamed buns in the other, nodding goodbye to Lin Xuezhu and heading to the carriage. .

I have to say that this governor is really powerful.

Lin Xuezhu sighed secretly, it is not easy to be a good official, and the meal is not finished yet.

Kong Bo was indeed very efficient in his work. Within a few days, Wang Shen sent a letter to Lin Xuezhu.

In the letter, he wrote down the planting area agreed between him and the chief of the Jiji tribe, gave it to Lin Xuezhu as a reference, and asked her when the seeds would be ready.

What Lin Xuezhu prepared was not seeds.

Sugar beet is a biennial plant. Not to mention that it is not the season to sow beet. Even if it grows, it will take two years to harvest.

Who has to wait two years to start a business? She directly took advantage of the rapid growth of space and prepared the vegetable seedlings early in the morning.

Move the seedlings directly into the soil now and they will be ready for harvest next summer.

Lin Xuezhu roughly estimated the number of beet seedlings needed based on the area provided by Kong Bo, so he replied to Kong Bo that he would pick up the goods in Feiyun City in seven days, and asked him to bring more people with him, and also asked the people from the Jiji tribe to take care of the beet seedlings. The ground is ready.

Attached to the letter was an instruction sheet for growing sugar beets.

After replying, she went directly to Yuan Xiu.

When it comes to passing things in the space through the open road, his husband has to bring out his "old friends" to take the blame.

This powerful "old friend" really helped her a lot.

After doing this, she hurried to her small workshop and mixed some herbs into the spiritual spring water using the same method as preparing fertilizer, and made it as veterinary medicine.

After finishing it, she immediately asked Wang Shen to lead someone to deliver these "veterinary medicines" to Kong Bo.

In this way, it can be handed over to the people of the Jiji tribe along with the letter.

Kong Bo didn't hesitate at all. Not only did he immediately find someone to translate the sugar beet planting instructions into barbarian language, he also quickly found the necessary farm tools to help the barbarians farm.

In the evening, when everything was ready, he sent people to rush to the border and handed over the things.

The chief of the Jiji tribe should not be too surprised.

On this trip, not only did I get medicine, I also got many strange tools.

Therefore, after returning home, he immediately organized people to cultivate the land according to the planting method given by "Sister Lin".

Seven days later, the beet seedlings arrived in Feiyun City.

Kong Bo took the things and sent them immediately to the territory of the barbarian tribe without any delay.

He was afraid that if he moved slowly, the beet seedlings would be burned to death by the sun.

If he knew that Lin Xuezhu had used spiritual spring water to protect the beet seedlings in advance, he might not be so nervous.

Halfway through the escort vehicle, they met the people sent by Wang Shen again.

These people came to escort Lin Xuezhu and Fertilizer.

Needless to say, it comes from Lin Xuezhu's small workshop.

She was planning to let the pungent smell of stinky bean water spread throughout the Jiji tribe!

A group of people headed towards the barbarian tribe.

The process of crossing the border is easy as the relevant formalities have been taken care of beforehand.

Lin Xuezhu was sent directly to the Jiji tribe, and the forty-year-old chief personally led people to greet her.

And as soon as they met, he affectionately called her "Sister Lin".

Lin Xuezhu found that it was too difficult to hold back laughter.

But in order not to be rude, she still endured it and pinched her thigh hard.

Tears instantly poured into his eyes, showing a tendency to overflow.

When the chief of the Jiji tribe saw this, he said embarrassedly: "The wind in the grassland is strong. I'm afraid it may blow Sister Lin's eyes. It's been hard for Sister Lin these days. Our whole tribe is very grateful to Sister Lin."

Lin Xuezhu: I beg you, Stop saying those three words. I won't pinch myself anymore.

She barely controlled herself and released her mental pressure with a smile.

He said, "Let's chat later. Let's farm first."

"Come here, follow Sister Lin to farm." The chief of the Jiji tribe waved his hand and said proudly.

Lin Xuezhu pursed her lips, quickly turned around, and followed the person who led the way.

It must be said that the Jiji tribe attaches great importance to this meeting.

Not only did the grass on the ground be treated very cleanly according to Lin Xuezhu's requirements, but the soil was also turned over carefully.

Lin Xuezhu personally demonstrated and told the tribesmen how deep the planting should be and what the spacing between crops should be.

After she finished the demonstration, the people from the Jiji tribe started to get started.

However, the process was not smooth at first.

After all, grassland people only know how to raise livestock and have no basic knowledge of planting.

To them, what Lin Xuezhu said was not a fantasy, but it was not much better.

Lin Xuezhu had no choice but to use the translator to explain it to them in detail.

Although the tribesmen are not skilled in business, they have a very good attitude towards learning.

Everyone spent half a day getting used to it and gradually became proficient.

It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that everyone planted all the beets.

The chief of the Jiji tribe seemed to be relieved and said to Lin Xuezhu: "Sister Lin, I have prepared some food and wine in the tent. Please come and have a meal with us."

Lin Xuezhu looked at the sky and refused sheepishly, "It's too late, let's do it next time."

"Next time, what about this time?" Chief Jiji tribe's eyes widened.

At this moment, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but want to laugh again.

Who has such a thick figure and a wild and arrogant face, but looks so innocent when he stares?

Chapter 357: They are so picky and don't give anything real.

Lin Xuezhu said gently: "It's really too late this time. In our place, after dark, women should go home, otherwise they are unruly women."

It's a shame that she is a modern person and talks about women's morality.

It's not because the chief is too enthusiastic.

The translator relayed Lin Xuezhu's meaning to the chief. The chief stared with big innocent eyes, seeming a little incomprehensible.

But he still showed respect for other people's customs and said that next time Lin Xuezhu comes, he must drink with them.

Lin Xuezhu is not interested in wine, but she has space and has never been afraid of getting on the wine table.

So, she readily agreed.

In fact, if Yuan Xiu came with her today, she could stay and have a meal.

However, the reason Yuan Xiu didn't come was because he was afraid that the barbarians would react badly when they saw him, a former enemy general.

While talking, Lin Xuezhu got on the carriage.

The two sides said goodbye, and the chief led his people to send Lin Xuezhu and others to the border, and then went back in low spirits.

After crossing the border, the carriage began to accelerate.

After a while, Lin Xuezhu was sent home.

"Miss Xuezhu, are you tired?" Mother Ma was waiting at the door. When she saw Lin Xuezhu coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and patted her back.

"I'm not tired, but it's almost too hot to work. Mother Ma, is there any bath water?" Lin Xuezhu asked.

"There are some." Mammy Ma pointed to the shower room and said, "Miss Xuezhu, go and wait first. I will get hot water for you right away."

"I'll go back to the house first to find a change of clothes." Lin Xuezhu said. Then he went to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Yuan Xiu was leaning on the kang, reading a book.

If this kang hadn't been built with a strong rustic feel, Lin Xuezhu would have thought she had seen a "picture of a beautiful man."

"Come back?" Yuan Xiu heard the voice, put down the book, and looked at Lin Xuezhu with a smile.

Lin Xuezhu nodded and asked, "Has your husband met the chief of the Jiji tribe?"

"You mean Buhe?" Yuan Xiu asked.

Lin Xuezhu didn't know the name of the chief, so he could only give a rough description of his appearance.

"That's the man who is so tall, so strong, and has such a big head." Lin Xuezhu said while gesturing in the air with his hands.

Yuan Xiu smiled helplessly and said, "Madam, you can find thousands of people like the one you described among the barbarians."

"Alas!" Lin Xuezhu sighed, "That chief's eyes are so innocent, especially... He stared like a child.

"Well, madam, what do you want to ask?" Yuan Xiu asked.

Lin Xuezhu said: "It's nothing. I just think that a person with such innocent eyes would really want to invade others?"

Yuan Xiu said: "The Tata tribe and the Jiji tribe are friendly tribes and intermarry with each other. Just like the Tata tribe Just like the people of the tribe were not willing to fight, the Jiji tribe did not respond very actively to the call of the King of Han. However, they had to make a show of it. "

Oh," Lin Xuezhu breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that they, the Tata tribe and the Jiji tribe are not enemies at all!

That's good, lest the situation changes one day and the two sides have to fight each other.

Yuan Xiu saw Lin Xuezhu's worried look and said with a smile: "I have wiped out the Ala tribe led by the barbarian King Han, and killed all the warlike ones. The remaining ones should not be in trouble."

"Okay . ." Lin Xuezhu didn't ask any more questions. She didn't want to know too much about the war.

I took my clothes and went to take a shower.

In the following period, people from the barbarian tribes successively sent messages through the chief of the Jiji tribe, wanting to grow sugar beets in exchange for medicine for livestock.

For this reason, Huang Hao simply stopped Lin Xuezhu's hard work and asked her to concentrate on dealing with the barbarian affairs.

Lin Xuezhu is also happy to be free. Anyway, the barbarians will farm more and more land, and her work will become more and more leisurely.

And the little boy named Jizhigla would appear in the vegetable fields of other tribes from time to time.

I came here just to help the people in my tribe with some farm work.

Therefore, people from other tribes did not express any objection to his wandering behavior.

As time passed, Jirigela followed Lin Xuezhu with peace of mind, chatting with Lin Xuezhu in limited Chinese dialect while working.

He talked about the magnificent scenery on the grassland, the stars at night, that his mother would chase him with a rice spoon, and that his father was a boring gourd.

In short, he told Lin Xuezhu everything.

Lin Xuezhu felt that if he kept talking, she wouldn't need to go to his house to check his household registration.

It can be seen that the prairie people love their hometown very much.

Occasionally, he would ask Lin Xuezhu what the Central Plains was like.

Although he loves his hometown, he is also curious and yearning for the outside world.

Lin Xuezhu asked him, "If you have the chance, would you like to visit the Central Plains?"

Jirigela nodded happily, "Yes!"

Lin Xuezhu smiled, but did not tell him that he might have a chance.

Lin Xuezhu counted the days, and the Dog Emperor should soon approve Kong Bo's proposal.

If things go smoothly, her plan will be carried out slowly.

These days, she often comes to the territory of the barbarians, and Liulicongfang doesn't care about it.

I don't know if those craftsmen encountered any problems.

Sure enough, when the business is big, people will feel like they are overwhelmed.

Just when Lin Xuezhu was melancholy, a woman from the Jiji tribe ran over happily.

While running, he was still yelling something.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the translator doubtfully.

The translator said: "She said that a pregnant cow in her family was sick before. After taking the medicine given by Sister Lin, not only was the disease cured, but she also gave birth to a calf just now. The calf was extremely healthy and struggled for a few times after birth. You can stand up soon. The medicine you gave me, Sister Lin, is really a magic medicine!"

Lin Xuezhu said helplessly, "Please, there is no need to translate the word Sister Lin. Just call me Mrs. Lin."

"Okay. "The translator said businesslikely.

When the woman saw that the translator had finished speaking, she immediately took Lin Xuezhu's hand enthusiastically and started talking a lot more.

This time, before the translator could speak, Jirigela said, "She said that Sister Lin, you are the goddess given to our grassland by God."

Lin Xuezhu was stunned.

Is it such a big deal? Even the goddess used it.

As she spoke, the woman took out a necklace-like object from her arms and handed it to Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu took it and took a look, good guy, the wolf tooth necklace is standard for the Mountain King.

Lin Xuezhu was speechless when she remembered that she still had a string of wolf fang necklaces in her home that were honored by people in the exile team.

They are so picky and don't give anything real, they just use these things to fool people.

"Sister Lin, wolves represent bravery and fearlessness. On our grasslands, this is the greatest compliment to people." Jirigla explained.

Even if it comes down to this, even if you feel disgusted in your heart, you have to accept it cheerfully.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu smile, the woman stretched out her hand and put the necklace directly on Lin Xuezhu's neck...

Chapter 358 Why go back again?

Lin Xuezhu returned home with a string of wolf fangs.

Mother Ma was waiting at the door as usual.

"Miss Xuezhu, you've been leaving early and coming back late lately. Thank you for your hard work! Oh my Miss Xuezhu, the North cannot survive without you." Mother Ma was nagging while holding Lin Xuezhu's hand.

Lin Xuezhu said: "Mother Ma, help me take off these wolf teeth hanging from my neck."

She was really too afraid of this thing.

When she thought about how this thing was originally in the wolf's mouth and killed countless lives, she felt that this thing must have a lot of resentment.

When Grandma Ma saw the wolf teeth, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

In order to thank Miss Xuezhu for her contribution in eradicating the wolf problem, people in the exile team had discussed making all the wolf teeth into necklaces and giving them to her, but she was disgusted.

Why is there another one?

Really, what are you afraid of?

Mother Ma quickly and carefully helped Lin Xuezhu take off the necklace and asked, "Miss Xuezhu, how should I deal with this?"

"Put it under the box," Lin Xuezhu said.

After all, it was someone's heart, and she couldn't throw it away.

It must be kept, but it cannot be placed where she can see it.

Mother Ma said: "Okay, I will put it together with the previous one."

The two of them walked into the house while talking.

Ma Ma asked: "Miss Xuezhu, are you still going tomorrow?"

Lin Xuezhu shook his head, "I'm not going. I'll go to Feiyun City tomorrow to see what's going on at Xingsheng Bank."

In the name of Yuan Xiu's "old friend" The fund has been established for some time, and she plans to see how the fund is being used and whether it needs to be replenished.

The next day, Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu entered Feiyun City early in the morning and went to the bank to look at the account books.

Since the three shops at home opened, Lin Xuezhu often went to the medical clinic, occasionally visited the grain store, and at least came to the bank.

If not for anything else, she was just afraid that if someone discovered her going in and out of the bank, unnecessary associations would arise.

The medical clinic and grain store were okay, but the bank alone contained tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, which was really eye-catching.

It was very necessary for them to go to the bank this time.

Only by looking at the account books can we understand the general situation of the Northern Conquest Army.

The couple drove the carriage directly into the back door of the bank.

Lin Chengzhang and his wife received the news early in the morning and prepared their account books.

Yuan Xiu sat in front of the desk and looked through the account books, and Lin Xuezhu also took a few glances.

But soon, she felt a little bored and yawned.

"If you don't want to watch, madam, just go and have some fun with your father-in-law and mother-in-law." Yuan Xiu noticed her tiredness and said.

Lin Xuezhu stood up immediately and said with a smile: "In that case, I have Mr. Laofu."

After saying that, she left the room without looking back.

The light of freedom shines upon her.

"Mom, let's go out for a walk." Lin Xuezhu greeted Wen Xiuqing.

Since coming to the North, she has visited Feiyun City many times and purchased items here.

However, she had never visited Feiyun City like she did when she went shopping with friends in her previous life.

She never took her mother shopping.

I just have time today to go shopping and take a look at Feiyun City's economy.

Wen Xiuqing was very happy after hearing Lin Xuezhu's suggestion.

She immediately tidied up briefly and took the money she and Lin Chengzhang earned during this period, planning to spend some money on her daughter.

In the past, her daughter liked beautiful clothes and rouge and gouache the most.

During her exile, her daughter had to be naked and dressed in coarse clothes every day. She must be feeling aggrieved, right?

Now that I have money, I can make it up to my daughter.

Lin Xuezhu could appreciate her mother's love for her daughter.

However, she also paid for her parents' monthly silver.

It feels like switching from left hand to right hand.

Moreover, once a person has a lot of money, money is just a number.

No matter how much material you obtain, it is difficult to feel satisfied.

In fact, she wanted to buy something for her parents, but she didn't expect that her mother wanted to reverse feed.

This is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

After walking around Feiyun City for a long time, the two of them felt a little tired.

Just when they were about to find a tea shop to sit down, they heard a female voice from behind, "Benefactor?"

Lin Xuezhu didn't take it seriously at first, holding Wen Xiuqing's arm and walking without stopping.

But the female voice behind him hurried a few steps forward and said, "My benefactor, please stay."

Lin Xuezhu glanced back subconsciously and saw that the woman behind her had pretty features and was quite pretty.

Moreover, it looks a little bit familiar.

"He is indeed a benefactor." The woman smiled happily.

"Who are you?" Lin Xuezhu was a little unsure.

The woman made a Wanfu salute and said, "Did my benefactor remember Chunfeng Tower?"

Lin Xuezhu was impressed by the mention of this.

Chunfeng Tower was the property of the Zhou family, and she had taken over it.

"Oh, you are..." Lin Xuezhu did not continue.

The girl in Chunfeng Tower has a career that is not easy to put on the table.

The girl smiled slightly and said, "My name is Xiangqin. I was fortunate enough to have a few words with my benefactor."

Lin Xuezhu remembered that this Xiangqin seemed to be the most responsible among the group of girls.

She actually listened to her words and came to the north.

Lin Xuezhu was thirsty, so she said to Xiangqin, "Let's sit and talk slowly in the tea shop?"

Xiangqin nodded, "Okay, I met my benefactor, and I have a lot to say."

Lin Xuezhu was about to pull Wen Xiuqing away . Enter the tea shop.

Wen Xiuqing said: "Daughter, I will go home and wait for you first. If you have anything to say, we can chat slowly."

The three words "Chunfeng Tower" made her quickly realize what kind of place it was.

She knew that when her daughter was walking outside, she would inevitably meet people from all walks of life.

Since she didn't know what the situation was, it was naturally better to avoid it.

Give your daughter some space.

Lin Xuezhu also felt that it would be better for Wen Xiuqing to go back first.

In this way, she could talk to Xiangqin without any scruples.

So the mother and daughter waved goodbye, and Xiangqin also said goodbye to Wen Xiuqing politely.

The two of them walked into the tea shop one after the other.

After sitting down and having tea served, Lin Xuezhu Niu drank a bowl.

Xiangqin smiled and said: "The girl is still as cheerful as ever."

"I'm thirsty." Lin Xuezhu felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject: "How long have you been in the North?"

"It's been a while." Xiangqin replied: "Not just me, many sisters have come. Either they My parents are gone, or I was sold to Chunfeng Tower by my relatives. After leaving Chunfeng Tower, I will be homeless."

Lin Xuezhu sighed softly.

She can understand those girls who have been abandoned by their relatives and society.

It is not easy to survive in this era.

Xiangqin smiled and said, "Don't worry too much about us, benefactor. With the things we brought out, we can live a pretty good life. It's just..." She lowered her head.

"Say it." Lin Xuezhu said kindly.

Xiangqin said: "It's just that we don't have any skills. Apart from the ability to serve people in Israel, we don't know anything else. After staying in the north for so long, we haven't found anything we can do, and we feel a little anxious. Some My sister had the idea of ​​leaving the northern border to work in her old profession, but I dissuaded her. Since she finally left that profession, why would she want to go back?

Chapter 359: After hearing Xiangqin's words, the caring little cotton-padded jacket

Lin Xuezhu felt that her outlook on life was quite upright.

A good horse never turns back, let alone a life that he hates.

In the past, we had no choice but to go back this time, and we would be throwing ourselves into a trap.

Lin Xuezhu thought of how she had been so busy recently and said, "Miss Xiangqin, are you willing to have sex with me?"

"What?" Xiangqin's eyes widened.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and said: "Food is being grown all over the northern border, and there is a great need for farming talents. If you are willing, I can take you with me. Even if you have nothing to do in the future, you can only be self-sufficient by guarding one-third of an acre of land." Is it good?"

"My benefactor knows how to grow food?" Xiangqin's eyes were filled with surprise.

Lin Xuezhu nodded.

However, she did not elaborate.

When working with others, it is better to first understand their ideas.

Before cooperation is confirmed, there is no need to reveal your past.

She said: "Farming is very hard. If you can endure the hardship, you can follow me first. But I will say something ugly first. I don't like hypocritical people. You should first think about whether you can endure the hardship and then answer me." "

I know, benefactor, I don't know what to call you yet," Xiangqin looked forward to it.

Lin Xuezhu remembered that when she was doing things in Chunfeng Tower before, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, she did not reveal her name.

It doesn't matter now, since she sincerely wants to cooperate.

Then he said: "My name is Lin Xuezhu, you can just call me Lady Lin."

"Ms. Lin, are you Lady Lin?" Xiangqin's eyes lit up, as if a little fan had met her idol.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xuezhu was puzzled.

Is she so famous now?

"Ms. Lin, I have heard about you. Many people are saying that you have done a lot for the Northern Territory. I have been thinking early in the morning that if I had one-tenth of Madam Lin's ability, I would be able to gain a foothold in the Northern Territory. It won't be a waste of time," Xiangqin said sincerely.

Lin Xuezhu laughed loudly, "Then you are very lucky. You met me today. Not to mention one-tenth of my abilities. If you are willing, you can learn them all."

"Really?" Xiangqin's eyes revealed. Exciting light.

Lin Xuezhu nodded seriously, "But no one I teach is free. The tuition fees will be paid back sooner or later, and not in the form of money."

"I know." Xiangqin was not surprised, "If Mrs. Lin Bai Jiao, I don't dare to learn anymore."

"You're right, free things are the most expensive, it's better to have everything clearly marked." Lin Xuezhu was very pleased that this Xiangqin was sensible, so he could save money. She's in a lot of trouble.

The two chatted for a while. Xiangqin obviously knew the identity of Lin Xuezhu's exiled prisoner, but every time she mentioned this, she cleverly bypassed it.

Just like Lin Xuezhu would not mention her past career.

Overall, it may be that he has enough experience. Xiangqin's overall behavior is relatively mature and smooth, which is the type that Lin Xuezhu likes.

At the end of the chat, Xiangqin asked: "Ms. Lin, where should I go if I want to find you?"

Lin Xuezhu replied: "I usually live near the construction site in Anbei City. It's not easy for you to find me. Go to Longsheng Grain Store to find Hu Ertong, he will send a message to me."

"Longsheng Grain Store, Hu Ertong... I understand," Xiangqin said, "I will go back and tell the sisters about it tomorrow. Mrs. Lin replied, "

Lin Xuezhu is very satisfied with her ability to move.

Tomorrow is fine, the sooner the better.

The two separated and went their separate ways.

Lin Xuezhu returned to the bank and learned that Yuan Xiu was still reading the account books, so he walked to the study.

"Husband, what do you see?" she asked as she pushed the door open and entered.

Yuan Xiu looked a little helpless and said: "The soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army are too honest. Some people come to the bank because their parents are seriously ill and need money for treatment. After seeing so much, how can you get money just to make your own life difficult? Countless. And the Northern Army is okay, almost no one from the border army is coming. "

Pfft! "

Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "That's not because your husband is good at leading troops."

As she said that, she learned what several border soldiers said when chatting with them.

He added: "The border army's consideration for the Northern Conquest Army who left their hometown is really touching. However, they did not consider that just because they are from the north and their families are also in the north, during the war, they were Their influence is also greater. They love them, but we can't help but think about them."

"What do you think, madam?" Yuan Xiu asked.

Lin Xuezhu replied: "In the name of my husband's 'old friend', I plan to donate a sum of money directly to the government office and let the government office distribute the money to the soldiers. Although the amount will not be too much, it is still a comfort."

It is true that if we talk about rewards for merit, the soldiers should get more.

But that money should be paid by the Dog Emperor from the treasury.

Now, although the treasury is in her space, the amount that can be used is limited.

Moreover, the gold and silver in the treasury are all stamped and cannot be taken out for use.

The gold and silver she placed in Xingsheng Bank were all gold and silver taken from the homes of corrupt officials.

It is gold and silver that can be circulated in the market.

Fortunately, no one will find fault with this kind of behavior of using one's own money to comfort the soldiers.

What she wants to express is her heart, and what the soldiers receive is also their heart.

Yuan Xiu felt that Lin Xuezhu's proposal was a good one.

Lin Xuezhu continued: "The relief fund for the soldiers is still in Xingsheng Bank. If anyone is in need, they can still come and get it. As for the other soldiers... ordinary soldiers have two taels of silver each, mid-level officers have five taels, and senior officers have ten taels. "How about this?"

"Okay." Yuan Xiu picked up the pen and wrote down the number of soldiers remaining at the last count.

Lin Xuezhu was very surprised. Her husband had such a good memory. He could clearly remember how many generals and soldiers there were in the company.

The young couple immediately made some calculations and calculated that it was less than one hundred thousand taels of silver.

This number is not bad, and it is more in line with the handwriting that a prince would lend to an "old friend".

After the one hundred thousand taels are paid out, the rest should be kept in the government office and treated as public funds.

After the two made plans, Yuan Xiu immediately went to the government office to explain the matter to Kong Bo.

Lin Xuezhu helped Lin Chengzhang tidy up the account books, and then went to the kitchen to help Wen Xiuqing cook.

Outside, she is a strong woman in her own right.

When I return to my parents' home, it's time to be my parents' caring little cotton-padded jacket.

The two of them were cooking and chatting about home affairs.

While chatting, Wen Xiuqing suddenly asked: "Daughter, you know that Xue Yi's kid has some thoughts about Lu Mo's kid, right?"

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "I know."

"Then why did you get her to the hospital? If you let her come to the bank to help, wouldn't there be more opportunities to get along with Lu Mo?" Wen Xiuqing asked in confusion.

Chapter 360: Coming to make trouble

. Lin Xuezhu had not considered what Wen Xiuqing said before.

However...

she said to Wen Xiuqing: "Mom, you said Xue Yi has thoughts about Lu Mo, do you think Lu Mo has thoughts about her?"

Wen Xiuqing fell silent.

After a while, he said: "That kid Lu Mo is very nice to everyone. But if you want to say whether he has any thoughts about Xue Yi, according to my observation, he doesn't have much."

"That's it, forceful melons are not sweet. I asked Xueyi to go to the medical clinic on purpose." Moreover, when Lin Xueyi left Anbei City, he also gave her some instructions.

I hope she can listen.

Wen Xiuqing said, "But Xue Yi always runs to the bank. I wanted to remind her, but I felt it was hard to say it."

"She came to see Lu Mo?" Lin Xuezhu frowned.

Wen Xiuqing nodded, "At first she said she came to see us, so we didn't think much about it. However, during this period, my uncle has been leaving things to Lu Mo to handle. He always runs away, and Xue Yi doesn't come often. We just I know, it turns out that she came to see Lu Mo."

Lin Xuezhu sighed, "I have told her everything I need to say. Although it is okay to press down on Lu Mo's marriage, I don't want to do that. "Lu Mo is a good boy. I want him to find a girl he likes and live a happy life for a long time. Just because Xue Yi is my cousin, I can't wrong my little cousin just to make her happy."

Wen Xiuqing agreed . , "Since that's what you think, then do it. If that girl Xue Yi comes again, I'll find a way to talk to her. Her parents are gone, and I've always treated her as my own daughter. I'll teach her on behalf of her parents."

"In that case, please be more careful," Lin Xuezhu said.

Everyone has their own destiny. When she sees others taking the wrong path, those close to her will tell them something.

But if people don't listen and want to run into trouble, she can only say a word of respect and blessing.

Wen Xiuqing saw that Lin Xuezhu didn't look good and asked, "Daughter, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Xuezhu sighed and said, "I feel sorry for my little cousin."

"How do you say this?" Wen Xiuqing was confused.

Lin Xuezhu said: "How many people know that I have some skills and want to learn from me. But my little cousin has fixed her eyes on Lu Mo along the way. She has never thought about why Lu Mo has been with us for several months. Didn't you even notice her? There's nothing about her that impresses Lu Mo."

"That's the truth." Wen Xiuqing agreed, "Lu Mo is different from ordinary people. He has been on the battlefield. The girl he likes. It should be different from what ordinary people like. That girl Xue Yi is obedient, but I see that Lu Mo is closer to you."

Lin Xuezhu smiled, "Although my little cousin has a natural sympathy for the weak, he will also take the initiative. Help them. But in the final analysis, he prefers to be close to the strong. "

Lin Xueyi is not a strong person, she has no sense of existence.

Wen Xiuqing sighed, "Girl, how many people like you can there be? Your father and I often talk about this matter. Neither of us knows why the delicate girl who used to be held in the palm of our hands has been married for several years. , he became so fierce and fierce."

At this point, Wen Xiuqing suddenly realized something and glanced at Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu, on the other hand, had no objection to the words "sharp and tough".

Who says that a woman has to be tender and tender, but can't be fierce and tough?

It depends on who is right.

To my husband...ahem.

But for people with bad intentions, be as aggressive as you can be, and be as tough as you can be.

Wen Xiuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Xuezhu didn't look unhappy.

The two of them talked and laughed and prepared the meal.

Lin Xuezhu estimated that it was almost time for Yuan Xiu to come back.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't come back.

Lin Xuezhu asked Hu Santong to go to the government office to inquire about it.

About half an hour later, Hu Santong and Yuan Xiu came back together.

Yuan Xiu's expression couldn't be said to be bad, just a little... weird.

"What's the matter, husband?" Lin Xuezhu stepped forward and asked.

Yuan Xiu glanced at her and said in a low voice: "Madam, did you not deal with the Guo family completely at first?"

Lin Xuezhu was shocked.

Mrs. Guo, she had completely forgotten about this person.

She asked: "Why, Guo showed up?"

"That's impossible." Yuan Xiu said: "She was found and dealt with by my people."

"What?" Lin Xuezhu was even more surprised than before.

After making trouble for a long time, she had already been targeted by Yuan Xiu.

Thanks to her stupidity, she thought she was quite free and unrestrained.

"Husband, you..." Lin Xuezhu was speechless.

Yuan Xiu said: "I knew Madam couldn't do anything, so I helped Madam solve it. Madam doesn't need to worry about it, and she doesn't need to thank me."

Lin Xuezhu: I didn't want to thank you either.

She asked again: "Why did your husband suddenly mention the Guo family?"

"Her family sent someone here," Yuan Xiu said.

"What happened?" Lin Xuezhu was puzzled.

Yuan Xiudao: "It seems that I heard that Lin Xueyi was exonerated and her uncle was coming to pick her up. He said that she was the only bloodline of the Guo family and their family couldn't bear to let her live outside. They went to the government office. Master Kong is about to send someone to inform us."

Lin Xuezhu frowned.

How did Guo's family know about Lin Xueyi's exoneration?

A sarcastic sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said to Hu Santong: "Third brother of the Hu family, please go to the medical clinic and call my sister Xue Yi over."

"Yes!" Hu Santong responded.

Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing also realized something, and quickly grabbed Lin Xuezhu from left to right, "Daughter, don't be angry. Xueyi will come later, ask her carefully, there may be some inside story that we don't know about."

Lin Xuezhu . He nodded in agreement.

The family was waiting when they saw Hu Yitong running in in a hurry.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Xuezhu, it would be better if you were here. Miss Xueyi's uncle came to the hospital to cause trouble. You should go and have a look."

Yes, this Hu Yitong and Hu Santong ran into trouble.

Lin Xuezhu had no choice but to say to Lin Chengzhang and Wen Xiuqing: "Mom and dad, my husband and I will go over and have a look."

"Let's go together too," Lin Chengzhang said.

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "That's fine." She turned to Hu Yitong and said, "Brother of the Hu family, please send a message to the third brother. I just asked him to go to the hospital to find my little cousin. While we are away from the bank, You two help me look around the store."

"Don't worry, Miss Xuezhu, go quickly, I'm here," Hu Yitong said, standing at the door like a doorkeeper.

Lin Xuezhu wanted to laugh a little, but thinking about Lin Xueyi's matter, she still found it very difficult.

The family of four got on the carriage, and Yuan Xiu said, "Hold on tight." He raised his whip and hit the horse's back hard.

The horse was in pain, raised its hooves and rushed forward quickly.

The road was not far, just a bit detoured, but within a cup of tea, the four of them arrived at Rongsheng Medical Center.
