Chapter 70:

However, Gu Celadon and Jiang Yun are not familiar with each other.
She and Jiang Rou walked around the Wei Liao Garden together, and then sat down on the terrace to rest and see the beautiful scenery again.
Jiang Rou has a good skill in making tea. She ordered people to take tea cakes and a set of tea sets from Chuntou and cook them by herself.
Although Gu Celadon didn't know much about tea, she was born as a young lady and she knows how to taste tea. It's been a long time since I got married to Li's family to get these things, and today I followed Arty again.
The taste of the new tea is particularly good, sweet and refreshing, which suits the taste of celadon.
After being entertained for half a day, Gu Celadon bid farewell to Jiang Rou when a maid came over at the Xiaozhuxuan window, and went to Li Chengze to go back with him.
Gu Celadon was curious about Jiang Rou, so he asked Li Cheng.
Li Cheng told her a little bit.
Gu Qingwan listened for a long time before realizing that she had misunderstood something.
She just said that Xiaozhuxuan window belonged to Jiang Rou's family, because she thought that the tea plantation was owned by Qin Gongzi, but she was completely wrong.
Li Cheng said: "Brother Qin is the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and this tea garden naturally belongs to the Jiang family. You don't know Jiang Rou, but you should have heard of Beichajiangfu."
Gu Celadon took a deep breath, "The Jiang from Guangenhou Mansion? Is Jiang Rou his daughter?"
Of course, Gu Celadon of Guangenhou Mansion knew that who allowed the Jiang family to almost monopolize more than half of the tea market in the north. When the Holy Motherland fought the world, it was the Jiang family who spent most of their wealth buying food and horses as gifts to the Holy Ancestor.
Later, the Jiang family was given the title of Guang Enhou. Moreover, the previous generation of the Jiang family married a royal princess.
These are not secrets, Gu Celadon knows, but only knows so much. There is nowhere to know the reason behind it that has nothing to do with oneself.
She didn't expect Jiang Rou to be Jiang's daughter.
"Is it the birth of Guang Enhou and Princess Jia Rou?"
Li Cheng nodded, "Guang Enhou's mansion has no male heirs, so he has only two daughters, one concubine and one concubine. The princess is Jiang Rou, and his mansion did not take over from others, but chose to let his daughter recruit. Qin. Brother is Jiang's son-in-law."
Gu Qingci sighed: "No wonder I see Sister Jiang being self-sufficient in her every move, her rules are also very good, and she treats others well. She was born in Guang Enhou and her mother is Princess Jia Rou. So what is your brother Qin? Why did you become a parent?"
Although this should not be said, but the reality is that it is generally not a special situation, and few men are willing to be superfluous sons-in-law.
"I think Young Master Qin is very handsome and handsome, and his appearance is not bad." She added.
Li Cheng tapped Gu Celadon on the forehead and said, "Brother Qin is naturally not bad, otherwise, how could I be with him." But he didn't tell Gu Celadon any more words.
After all, it is someone else's private matter.
Gu Celadon's heart is also big, and if someone comes over, he might have to ask Li Cheng how to catch up with Qin Ran's recognition. Although Qin Ran is a son-in-law, his status is much higher than that of Li Chengze. Li Cheng wants to have no status, a poor family, a ruined family background, but just married a girl from the second house of Mingdehou's mansion.
However, there are too many people who are honored and distinguished in family affairs in the Tai Academy. Who would put Li Cheng in his eyes.
Before, Gu Celadon was going to tell Li Chengze that he saw a lady in Chengguo’s mansion in the tea garden. Just because of an interruption, he forgot about it until Li Cheng returned to the academy. Haven't remembered yet.

On Li Chengze's side, most of his thoughts are now devoted to learning, but the things that should be taken care of have not fallen.
Although he didn’t go to the countryside for a few days back, Li Baode told him about the situation of the land. The growth of water melons is very good, and the first batch is about to mature. A few days ago, people got a bad appearance. Try the taste, take a knife and pull it away. Good guy, the red flesh and black seeds are full of moisture.
Li Cheng asked again how it tasted. Li Baode said it was sweet and said that this thing must be good for sale, especially in spring and summer, and the juicy fruits like this are the best way to quench your thirst.
It's just that the Li family has been relying on rent collection for food these years, and he didn't have a specific charter in his heart to ask Li Baode to sell things, so he waited for Li Chengze to go home before looking for a way out of him.
Li Cheng pondered for a moment, so that Li Baode didn't need to worry, just pay attention to the situation of the melons, and when they were all ripe, they would pick them, and then send someone to the academy to send him a letter.
He will contact good people here, so he can send people to drive directly to pull the truck.
When Li Baode saw his son's heart was fulfilled, he finally let go of his heart.
Water melon is a new variety of fruit, which has never appeared in Beijing. It can be expected that there will be no worries about the market. Li Cheng mainly wants to find a partner.
After all, his family is considered weak, don't look back and don't make money, but let people calculate it.
Li Cheng felt that Qin Ran was pretty good. The two of them knew each other because of a small matter, and they appreciated each other more after they met.
Qin Ran did not shy away from the identity of his son-in-law, and did not see emotions such as inferiority and anger, but there were also some rumors around him, ironizing him for losing his male character and relying on his wife's position. Qin Ran always laughed at such rumors. , Do not take it to heart.
Li Cheng could see that Qin Ran might not be as simple as it seems, but how could it be that it is better to be smart than stupid.
Although the Jiang family's industry is large, Qin Ran is not contaminated, and he also has his own industry and relationships in his hands.
Li Cheng asked him to cooperate, and Qin Ran became interested when he briefly talked about the matter. If the watermelon is really like Li Cheng's words, it is indeed a good thing.
The little melon in Li Cheng's hand is the second one. The main thing is that the pi seedlings of water melon come out and can be planted in a large area. That is the most important thing. Qin Ran is also a decisive person. When a message was sent that the melons were ripe and picked, Li Cheng turned around and informed Qin Ran, Qin Ran immediately sent his capable people to Hekou Village.
Then the people went to see and taste again, their eyes were bright, and after talking to Li Baode, they transported the water melons in carts and carts that day.
When he returned the next day, he said with a smile on his face.
Li Cheng doesn’t have to worry anymore. Qin Ran won the water melon according to the price of the package, and then signed a contract with Li Chengze to expand the scale of the water melon. In a hurry, July and August will be the hottest time. Down the second batch.
Sure enough, the water melon is very easy to sell, it has a lot of sweetness and water, and the flesh is beautiful. It is big and can't be cut open, so it sells quickly.
The quantity produced in a few small sheds is also limited, the output is not large, and the price of water melon is not cheap.
However, there is still no shortage of wealthy people in the capital. Qin Ran has channels for such a new thing, and without much effort, it is all sold out.
Li Cheng didn't plan to get a large sum of money from the sale of water melons. It was given to Li Baode, which was regarded as family income.
Li Baode felt that this was all due to his son, and he didn't care about it. From the very beginning, the son had taken care of the seeds and cultivated them. Li Cheng asked him to hold it. Everyone in the family had to spend everything, so they couldn't live on that hundred acres of land.
Therefore, Li Baode still accepted it, but he set aside five hundred taels for Li Cheng to stay close to him, saying that he was all about socializing and socializing outside, and money was indispensable. For the first time, if he was not rich, he could only shrink a little. Being broad allows him not to wrong himself.
Li Cheng took it.
He goes to school here, and discusses topics with his classmates every day. Qin Ran is already a Juren, with good academic knowledge, and also helped Li Cheng a lot.
Li Cheng adapted to the ancient imperial examination questions, collected summaries, and was guided by a famous teacher and friend, and his homework became more and more handy.
The old Mr. Yan, who led his class, remained silent, but noticed Li Chengze in his heart and observed secretly.
Li Cheng adapts well here.
But something happened in Gu's house.
Before, the two masters saw a young master Sun in the King Kang's mansion in the middle end, and intentionally married Gu Qingwan.
Aunt Zhou also agreed very much, as if she was proud of something.
I don't know how the second master got to know them. First, we had to wait for the fourth girl, Gu Qingjin, to get married, and the second master did not urge the second wife to go to the palace.
Now that Gu Qingjin was out, Aunt Zhou asked the two elders to talk to his wife quickly and make a decision at the Duankang Palace.
The second master turned his back and ordered the second wife.
The second wife was not allowed to pretend to him on her face, like a bodhisattva with her eyes down.
"The master is very capable and prepares such a good family for the five girls. In that case, my aunt can only take this trip, lest others say that I am unkind." Neither Yin nor Yang pierced a few words, the second wife. He shied away from busying with something and asked someone to send the second master out.
Turning her head, she sneered at the corner of her mouth.
A few days later, with a bunch of maids, went to the door of Duankang Palace.
Unexpectedly, the second wife came out with a stiff face before it was an hour.
The second wife had a bad temper. She returned home from the palace and went directly to the old lady's Shoukangyuan, and called the maid to invite the old lady.
Everyone was there, and the second wife cried to them.
He said that he was not alive, he was ashamed to see people, and he was ashamed of others.
"I thought that the second master had already confided with others, and it was roughly reconciled, otherwise I wouldn't just go to the gate of King Kang's mansion like this. But no one knew that the wife of the five rooms didn't recognize this matter at all. Forget it, you know what she said, people said clearly, although their son in this room is not a talent, but this is a single seedling, even if the princess is not high, he will definitely not marry one. The concubine girl raised by the concubine also said that the five girls in our house were talented women who had to write two lines of poems when they saw a person. Their son was only mediocre and could not deserve it."
"Listen to my mother's sister-in-law, telling people to be humiliated face to face, what face will I have to go out in the future." The second wife said, rubbing the corner of her eyes with her veil.
These words sounded accusing the fifth wife of Duankang Palace, but in fact all the roots were in Gu Qingwan.
How can the old lady not know the troubles in the second room, and the second son's doting on his concubine and destroying his wife is already putting people at a loss.
"Useless things!" The old lady's face was dark, "A concubine and concubine can't care about it. I think you have been a wife for so many years!"
The scolding must be a few words, but the second wife didn't take it seriously, knowing that the old lady's fire was not on her.
The old lady most valued the reputation of the Zhongfu. Gu Qingwan didn't care if she didn't know how to tell her aunt to raise her aunt, but she shouldn't throw her face outside and ask others to make fun of Mingdehoufu.
The old lady kicked her cane a few times, and instructed the grandmother, "Erfang Zhou aunted the girl to break the girl, tied the person and sent it to the country house to think about."
The second wife can't move Aunt Zhou, but the old lady is just a word here, who dares to disobey.
Even if the second master came, would he dare to contradict his mother for a concubine?
The second wife smiled disdainfully.
