The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 184 Learning to ride a horse

Soon some vegetable vendors realized the business opportunities of potatoes, and they also bought potatoes in Linjia Village and sold them in the county.

An acre of potatoes can yield 25 catties. If you plant five acres and sell them at a price of three pennies per catty, the total can be sold for about [-] taels of silver. Some people who sell potatoes quickly sell their potatoes Bought it all, with silver in hand, I laughed so hard I couldn't see my teeth.

At this time, everyone regretted that they did not plant a few acres of potatoes with the Lin family. Fortunately, the Lin family said that after harvesting potatoes this round, they could continue to plant another round. The villagers took the time to plant a second round of potatoes on their own land Potatoes, without delay.

The villagers were more sensible and didn't sell all the potatoes. After all, the potatoes can be eaten by themselves. If they are sold out, they can't continue to eat sweet potatoes. Not everyone can eat white rice like the Lin family now. Still need to add a lot of whole grains.

What the villagers want to do with their potatoes has nothing to do with Lin Xiazhi. He is not everyone's bread and butter. As long as the price of potatoes stays the same, he has nothing to worry about.

Taking a step back, the price of potatoes is out of order, and it is controlled by the county magistrate and other officials. Their Lin family is just a small business and has no right to speak.

Now, Lin Xiazhi is enjoying the taste of dating, and he can always find half a day to meet Cheng Wenliu every three to five days.

The two engaged people can't let the adults in the family find out that they meet secretly, they can only meet in secret, with Cheng Luanjing acting as a spy in the middle, making it like some kind of mysterious organization, which is a different kind of excitement.

When I went to see the lotus in the lotus villa that day, Cheng Wenliu found that Lin Xiazhi really liked the natural scenery, and wanted to take him to a waterfall to play, but the waterfall is a bit far from Jiangning County, so he had to start earlier.

Lin Xiazhi didn't plan to go after knowing the distance, so he simply suggested that Cheng Wenliu teach him how to ride a horse. If he had the opportunity to go out to play in the future, he would have to sit in a carriage, which would be boring, and riding a horse would make the road easier.

Cheng Wenliu thinks that Lin Xiazhi's proposal is also good, anyway, he thinks that as long as he can be with Lin Xiazhi, it doesn't matter what he does.

If he wants to hide Cheng Fulang, Cheng Luanjing can only pretend to go out to the theater with Lin Xiazhi. Fortunately, "Zhi Geer" is really popular recently, and there are often opera troupe singing, Cheng Fulang has no doubts.

The carriage left the city, and the coachman followed Cheng Wenliu's instructions to find an open and flat grassland, so that it would be convenient for Lin Xiazhi to practice horseback riding. Cheng Wenliu had already been waiting for them there, with a horse by his side, which looked a little bit The taste of the hero of the ancient TV series.

Body contact is indispensable for learning to ride a horse. Cheng Wenliu has no problem, but Lin Xiazhi, who proposed to learn to ride a horse, feels a little embarrassed, and his movements seem very stiff. Cheng Wenliu asked him to relax, but he just couldn't relax.

Seeing that Lin Xiazhi was so tired from riding, Cheng Wenliu simply got on his horse and led him to ride for a while.

Cheng Wenliu controlled his body to keep a little distance from Lin Xiazhi, trying to make him not feel uncomfortable, and started to speed up after he got used to it.

Cheng Luanjing was staying in the carriage at this time. He didn't want to go down to feed the mosquitoes. Anyway, whether he was at home or in the carriage, he could have a place to write his script.

The sultry summer air began to flow as the horse ran, taking away the heat from his body, and gradually made Lin Xiazhi relax, and he was in the mood to appreciate the different scenery he saw on horseback.Yuxi team organizes, please pay attention.

Cheng Wenliu sees every stitch, watching Lin Xiazhi gradually relax, and then gradually reduces the distance between the two until Lin Xiazhi's back touches his chest.

Lin Xiazhi noticed Cheng Wenliu's movements. In this situation, he didn't want to make a bad move, so he acquiesced in his behavior. He simply relaxed and leaned against Cheng Wenliu's chest, not caring so much and just enjoying the comfort of the moment.

Lin Xiazhi has turned eighteen, and his stature has gradually grown. Malnutrition in his youth failed to allow him to reach the 1.8 meters he hoped for, and his height is only about 1.6 meters five.

Cheng Wenliu's height is more than 1.8 meters, and he looks tall and handsome in the crowd on weekdays. Lin Xiazhi just fits in his arms, and the two fit very well.

After riding the horse around, Lin Xiazhi finally let go of his hands and feet. After Cheng Wenliu got off the horse, he could barely walk around alone. If he wants to run, he needs to practice a few more times.

After riding a horse for a while, they sat down to rest, drink water and eat something. An hour passed quickly, and it was time for Lin Xiazhi and Cheng Luanjing to return to Jiangning County.

Cheng Wenliu got on his horse and watched their carriage leave. After waiting for a while, he and Cheng Ping rode back to the city by another road.

Lin Xiazhi changed into his own carriage at Jufulou and went back to Linjiacun, while Cheng Luanjing took the carriage back to Cheng Mansion alone.

As soon as Cheng Luanjing got out of the carriage, he saw Cheng Fulang standing in front of him looking at him with a half-smile, and knew that he had something to ask without asking.

Cheng Luanjing honestly followed Cheng Fulang back to the house: "Ah."

"Stand up and tell me the truth, where did you go today?" Cheng Fulang told Cheng Luanjing to stand and not let him sit down.

"Brother Tong Xia went to the theater to watch a play." Cheng Luanjing looked at his toes and replied, feeling bad in his heart.

Cheng Fulang sneered, and slapped the table: "Do you still dare to fool you? If you don't tell the truth, don't you? Then you don't go out in the future. There is no play in the theater today. I think you are getting bolder now. Secretly go out of the city without telling me, will you follow the example of Brother Huang and bring me a strange man back in another year?"

Cheng Luanjing trembled in fright at Cheng Fulang's slap, and when he heard what Cheng Fulang said behind him, he couldn't laugh or cry at once. He had suffered an innocent disaster, let's tell the truth, lest he will be dealt with even worse if he is found out later.

"Ah, don't be angry, don't be angry, and you will spoil your body." Cheng Luanjing laughed with him, "I actually went out of the city with brother Xia today, and of course my second brother was with me."

"What!" Cheng Fulang raised his voice, "You guys are really messing around!"

"Ah, please keep your voice down." Cheng Luanjing leaned close to Cheng Fulang, stood and squeezed Cheng Fulang's shoulders for a while, squatted down and beat Cheng Fulang's legs for a while, with flattering smiles on his face, "Ah, Second Brother and Brother Xia We've known each other for a long time, and we've met countless times, so it's okay to meet before we get married."

Cheng Fulang frowned. It was related to the marriage of the second son. If the servants with a broken mouth heard it and said something bad, it would be ugly on the face. He lowered his voice and taught: "Why can't it be okay? The two of them They are all married people, why are you so casual, and you child is also helping them together."

"Ah, we are very careful. No one sees us, even if they don't know us." Cheng Luanjing hugged Cheng Fulang's arm and acted like a baby.

"I'll tell your second brother about this when he comes back. The ice in both of your rooms will be removed tonight, and the disobedient child will be punished." Cheng Fulang patted Cheng Luanjing's hand and stood up, ordering his servants to prepare For dinner, at the same time, tell them not to prepare ice basins for the second and third young masters' rooms tonight.

Seeing that there would be no room for maneuver in the matter of the ice basin, Cheng Luanjing could only accept it with pouts, but just now Cheng Fulang mentioned the Huang family brother, did the Huang family brother cause something to happen again? Ask in the past.

"Ah, have you heard about Brother Huang's family?" Cheng Luanjing looked curious.

Cheng Luanjing did not get along with the brothers of the Huang family. It has been like this since he was a child. Knowing a son is like a father. Cheng Fulang also knew his careful thoughts, and nodded his nose: "The Huang family has admitted their marriage. That Chinese character is an ordinary family. The Huang family Worried that the Huang family brother would suffer and get used to following him, they planned to let him marry that man in Jiangning County. They gave the young couple some money to do a small business in Jiangning County, and the Huang family could take care of it. Be careful, lest the Huang family brother be bullied."

Cheng Luanjing stuck out his tongue: "Why would he be bullied? I think he is quite good at bullying. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for this man to marry him."

Cheng Fulang frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about, kid, think about it for yourself, if you didn't mention your brother, can you talk like that?"

Cheng Luanjing watched Cheng Fulang's face darken, and quickly stuck out his tongue to admit his mistake.

Even if he admits his mistake, Fulang Fang is still very strict with his children, and Cheng Luanjing will still be punished, from one night without an ice basin to five nights.

Days like this are naturally uncomfortable without an ice basin. It would be better if the cold subsides in the second half of the night, but not in the first half of the night.

Cheng Luanjing was in the room, tossing and turning like pancakes until noon before barely falling asleep. The next day, with slightly black eyes, he yawned and washed his face with cold water to feel better.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Fulang was not moved at all, and said that there was no ice basin for five nights, and there was no ice basin, and told him not to talk nonsense after he had a long memory.

As for what Cheng Fulang questioned Cheng Wenliu last night, Cheng Luanjing didn't know, but for the next month, Cheng Wenliu didn't ask him to help bring Lin Xiazhi out.

Lin Xiazhi listened to Cheng Luanjing's account of what happened after he returned that day, and read Cheng Wenliu's letter to him. He could only wish Cheng Wenliu good luck and hope that he could cope with the things that were suddenly added to him.

Although the two of them could not see each other, Cheng Wenliu still wrote a letter every day.It can be seen that he is very busy, his handwriting is much more scribbled than before, and sometimes he is too busy to write a page, just a few words to say what he is busy with today.

Lin Xiazhi will also write back to him, telling about what happened around him.

Beginning in July, the county magistrate of Jiangning talked to wealthy households, officials, and landlords in the county one by one. Cheng Wenliu told Lin Xiazhi in his daily letters that the county magistrate was preparing for road construction.

Although Cheng Wenliu didn't say it specifically, Lin Xiazhi could guess that it just depends on whether these wealthy households are willing to pay for road repairs. Those who are willing to pay are fine, but if they are not, the county magistrate will probably clean them up.
