Shangguan Yu never expected that he would fail to win over his brother-in-law, but would instead be preached to.
Bai Ling was holding back her laughter, which made Shangguan Yu even more depressed. Shouldn't she stand on her side and be consistent with the outside world?
"Xiaoshan, when dad wrote to me, he said that you brought some ears of rice. Please show them to me." Unable to bear Shangguan Yu's sad eyes, Bai Ling had to change the subject.
"Girls are outgoing." Bai Xiaoshan shook his head in disappointment, not wanting to lecture his second sister.
Bai Ling's face turned red, and he tried to remain calm and pretended not to hear.
After all, Liu Xusheng was his cousin, so he couldn't say much, but after receiving Bai Xiaoshan's look, he stayed where he was, not giving Shangguan Yu a chance to take advantage of Bai Ling.
Shangguan Yu felt very depressed. If he had known that such a scene would happen, he should not have come here.
If we don't wait until later, we can go directly to Bai Ling's boudoir to have a heart-to-heart talk, hold hands, and kiss her mouth...
As Shangguan Yu thought about it, the big hands under the table became restless, held Bai Ling's hand, and stroked her palm repeatedly.
Bai Ling quickly raised his head and glanced at Liu Xusheng. Seeing that he didn't notice anything unusual, he pinched the back of Shangguan Yu's hand to signal him to stop.
Bai Xiaoshan came back soon and handed the wooden box to Bai Ling.
"These ears of wheat are all from our farm. Counting the days, we should have harvested the grain by now. Dad and the farmers have estimated together that one acre of land should be able to produce three to four hundred catties, and the yield is no less than that in the south. Again.
In addition to the rice fish and other things raised in the water, the profit is more than growing other grains." Bai Xiaoshan said.
"My cousin and I went to see it, and there are very few rice ears that are not successful. It's just that it takes a lot of effort to clean up the rice fields, and it's impossible to grow winter wheat."
When it comes to crops, Liu Xusheng, a young man who has lived in the south for several years, has a say.
"My family had no land when we were in the south, but I also visited the countryside. The yield there was just like this, about 10% higher at most. But their rice fields didn't grow anything, so the total harvest was smaller than that in the north. That's a win.
If you can grow two crops in the hottest place, you will get one more season of food."
"There are two crops of rice planted in the south, but the yield of the one planted in autumn is only about 60%. Calculated, the income from the rice fields in the north and south is about the same." Bai Xiaoshan said.
"Does rice in other places also grow like this?" Shangguan Yu asked.
"That's not true." Bai Xiaoshan shook his head, "My cousin and I went to several villages. Some families were reluctant to fertilize, and some had insufficient irrigation. The yield was only half of what we...our farm produced."
When Bai Xiaoshan was halfway talking, he realized that it was Shangguan Yu who was asking the question, and he quickly changed his words.
"It seems that it is feasible to grow rice in the north. It is good to be able to grow winter wheat, but it cannot be grown in any land. It also depends on what the last crop is and the fertilizers must be kept up, otherwise it will be a hassle.
You won't get much food when you return," Bai Ling said.
Beidao tastes better and will sell for a higher price. Bai Ling knows something in his heart, but he can't say it out at this time, otherwise he can't explain it.
"The taste of winter wheat is much stronger than that of spring wheat. Although the yield is slightly lower, the price is higher, but it can be sold at a higher price than spring wheat. I don't know if the taste of northern rice will be better."
Shangguan Yu thought of this and looked at Bai Ling.
"I'm going to write a letter to my father and ask him to collect all the rice first. Don't rush to sell it. I'll ask the escort to send two bags of rice. Let's taste the taste before setting a price." Bai had already planned this.
Ling, immediately got up and wrote a letter home.
With Shangguan Yu here, even if it gets dark, there is no need to worry that the letter will not be delivered.
When we first planted rice, we signed a contract, and the rice in the first few years was purchased by the Bai family. Therefore, only the Bai family had the rice, and the price was naturally decided by them.
Bai Ling hurriedly walked towards the study, but Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng immediately put away their smiling faces and looked sharply at Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu, on the other hand, is extremely calm now.
As long as Bai Ling nods, there will be no problems with the marriage, and it's time for the two brothers-in-law to have a good talk.
As for Liu Xusheng being a cousin, Shangguan Yu really didn't take him seriously. The relationship between Bai Ling and his maternal grandfather's family was very good, just like that between Shangguan Yu and Princess Yayang. The relationship was no worse than that between biological brothers and sisters.
"When Ling'er marries me, I will protect her for the rest of her life and give her the best in the world. Apart from Ling'er, I will not have any other woman in this life, nor will I restrict her freedom or let her
Do what you like. I can guarantee that no one will treat Ling'er better except me, and no one's feelings for her are more pure than mine."
Shangguan Yu went straight to the topic and made Bai Xiaoshan and Bai Xiaoshan silent.
Bai Ling is different from ordinary women. She is definitely not the kind of woman who is willing to live in the back house.
Moreover, Bai Ling said two years ago that she would rather never marry than marry a man with three wives and four concubines.
If Bai Ling hadn't spoken out long ago, how could the three sisters of the Bai family have been left unattended?
"Remember your promise today. If you fail to do so in the future, I will definitely take my second sister away. My second sister is the best woman in the world and deserves the best treatment." Bai Xiaoshan said solemnly.
"Xiaoshan and I have the same idea. Even though we have no ability now, we would rather bully an old man than a poor young man. If my second cousin is bullied by you, sooner or later we will have the ability to seek justice for her." Liu Xusheng said solemnly.
.
Compared with the sibling relationship and admiration for Bai Xiaoshan, Liu Xusheng also felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Bai Ling in his heart.
If it hadn't been for Bai Ling, the Liu family might have been ruined long ago, and he wouldn't have the peaceful life he has now, and he wouldn't have had the chance to study again.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Yu sat upright, raised his hands and swore: "I, Shangguan Yu, swear to God that I will live up to Bai Ling in this life, otherwise my intestines will be pierced and my belly will be rotten, and I will become a beast forever!"
The ancients believed in oaths, so Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng believed in Shangguan Yu's sincerity.
"Although we agree with the marriage between you and the second sister, you should pay attention to everything you should pay attention to before getting married. My second sister is a woman, and her reputation cannot be damaged. If you really like my second sister, you should consider her. Especially.
It's your identity. If any rumors spread, my second sister will never be able to hold her head high and live a good life." Bai Xiaoshan warned.
Liu Xusheng said nothing, but his eyes were the same.
Shangguan Yu was not annoyed. He was also happy that his relatives cared for Bai Ling so much, so he could only accept it against his will.
The best thing to do is to do more night-time visits to the boudoir in the future. It would be better if some words and things are not known to outsiders.
Bai Xiaoshan looked at Shangguan Yu suspiciously. He always felt that he was too talkative and seemed weird, but after all, he was young and didn't think too much.
"What are you talking about? The soup base will change in a while. Let's eat quickly. It's getting late. We should go to bed early after eating." Bai Ling left and returned, handed the letter to Shangguan Yu, and said:
"Have your people deliver the letter to my father as soon as possible."
"Okay." Shangguan Yu nodded, put the letter away, and asked: "When you two go to Beijing this time, do you plan to enter the official school to continue your studies, or do you want to participate in the Spring Festival?"
When talking about matters related to career, Bai Ling glanced at his two younger brothers but said nothing more.
The Han Palace has a good banner, but the relationship with the royal family is delicate. It is not suitable to try to pull the tiger's skin. It is best to follow the original plan.
But it still depends on what the person wants. Bai Ling doesn’t intend to interfere. (To be continued)
