Chapter 388(1/2)

: I'm half of the harvest

Xue Mei likes this house in Dayefang very much.

The little prince has a very good aesthetic level. This house should have been built under his instruction. The house is exquisite, the courtyard is new, and the back garden is designed reasonably.

For the fifth brother, such a house is suitable for his identity.

In the future, he will become rich and he can change his house near the imperial city when he has money. What Xue Mei can give him is a life that is no more than his endurance.

She really wants it.

"What kind of help is the little prince?" Xue Mei asked.

She knew that the little prince was not short of money, and the wealth she created for him was far more than 800 taels. Since he said he would give it to him, there was no need for Xue Mei to compete.

"Do you still remember Fengnan Town?" Xiao Mingyu asked.

Xue Mei nodded.

There is a salt fort in Fengnan Town, and Xiao Jingcheng gave it up in Xiao Jingcheng's fiefdom.

The emperor concealed the bell and assigned the place to Prince An, who was Xiao Mingyu's father as a fief, and the salt castle was returned to the court.

"I can grow kelp there. His Majesty found it more useful and collected it back. I can grow kelp offshore, but Fengnan Town no longer belongs to me.

For fairness, Your Majesty returned Lunan County to me and became my fiefdom again. It is no longer my father's fiefdom, but can inherit three generations of generations." Xiao Mingyu said.

Xue Mei: "What, Lunan County is not good?"

"Lunan County is as big as ten Fengnan Towns, of course it is very good. But it has many wastelands. Crops cannot be planted on wastelands, so it has to be abandoned.

I went to see it specifically, only 30% of the land can be planted," Xiao Mingyu said, "I want to ask the princess to see how to transform these fields."

Xue Mei: "I don't understand this very much either."

"But you always have some geniuses."

"Your Majesty isn't this bullying?"

"I can also plant kelp near the coast and do kelp trading. Your Majesty has never bullied me. Besides, my father's fiefdom is different from my own fiefdom." Xiao Mingyu said.

Even if it is abandoned, the remaining 30% will be worth Fengnan Town, and Xiao Mingyu is satisfied with it.

The emperor was quite nice to him and did not treat him badly.

But he couldn't stand seeing a large amount of land in the fiefdom being abandoned. He was a businessman at heart and wanted to make use of all the resources he could use.

"I have some way to open up the land, but I have to take a look." Xue Mei said, "Some fields are not suitable for growing crops, and you can grow trees."

"There is no tree planting, the situation is complicated. The court has kept those places empty, and there is no way." Xiao Mingyu said.

Xue Mei dared not speak loudly.

She said, "I have to take a look."

"When will we go?" Xiao Mingyu asked.

Xue Mei: "Prince, we are friends, but brothers must settle the score clearly. If I really have a way to help you, how can you repay me?"

"This house is for you."

"This house is worth 800 taels. Do I need that 800 taels?" Xue Mei said.

Xiao Mingyu raised his eyebrows: "What do you want?"

"No matter what the wasteland can grow, you can share half of what it gets within ten years." Xue Mei said.

Xiao Mingyu: "Half?"

"Or forget it, little prince, please ask a powerful old farmer to plan for you." Xue Mei said.

Xiao Mingyu: “…”

He wanted Xue Mei to help, but he couldn't accept Xue Mei's harsh conditions. After all, it was his fiefdom, and giving Xue Mei half the harvest was too unprofitable.

Xiao Mingyu decided to ask local experienced farmers again what to plant to prevent the tens of thousands of acres of land from wasting.

The little prince gave Xue Mei very generously the house in Dayefang.

Xue Mei also asked someone to send 1,000 taels of silver to play with the concubines of the little prince.

Slightly higher than the market price.

Xue Mei took her younger brother to see the house.

"Is this for me?" Xue Run is a silly child. He was very happy when he saw the house and didn't care about the location of the house. "Big sister, you are really much richer than your father."

Xue Mei: "..."

I'm not very happy about you.

Compared with Yongning Hou, isn’t this reducing Xue Mei’s style?

Everything about Xue Mei, her title and wealth, was earned by herself; and what about Yongning Hou was left to him by her father and obtained through marriage.

This is different.

"Thank you, sister." Xue Run smiled, "Then when can I get married?"

"You have three things that have not been resolved, so why are you married?" Xue Mei smiled. "First, you are not considered a career before you become an official; second, you are not allowed to negotiate with someone before you have been eliminated; third, you still have a maid in your yard, what are you going to do?"

Xue Run looked at her sister in a daze.

Are these all problems?

I haven't heard that anyone should start a career before getting married; before being submissive, he cannot discuss marriage, so what can he do? As for the family, she will naturally be handled by her future wife.

However, Lian'er is not considered a family member, so Xue Run had already given her the contract to sell her body.

She is just serving in Xue Run's yard now.

Xue Run and her had nothing to do, so they always wanted to give her to the dog.

However, the dog doesn't like her very much and doesn't want her.

"Being an official is not something I can do; it takes time to get rid of submissions. I can make the decision on Lian'er, so I'll send her back to Aunt Zhou." Xue Run said.

Xue Mei: "After so long, do you know that Lian'er was sent by the father and father?"

Xue Run: "!!!"

He looked at Xue Mei in disbelief.

Xue Mei smiled: "Don't you know yet?"

"I..." Xue Run was a little stiff, "Did the father... send Lian'er to be a traitor?"

Xue Mei: "Yes."

Xue Run's face suddenly changed, and a fury rushed to the top of her head. No wonder Gou'er said that Lian'er was not good and didn't want Lian'er.

It turns out that he doesn't know.

Xue Mei: "I'm still waiting for you to discover it myself."

Xue Run: "...Big sister, am I stupid?"

"Not stupid, you know how to find a smart wife." Xue Mei smiled, "Cao Yujun is pretty good. In the future, she will manage the house, so don't worry."

Xue Run: “…”

The eldest sister spoke very tactfully, but she couldn't change the fact that Xue Run felt very stupid.

When he got home that day, Xue Run went back to his yard directly.

He was full of anger.

"Where is Lian'er?" he asked as soon as he entered the door.

In addition to dogs, there were two rough labourers in his yard, and several of them were shocked by him.

The woman said, "Miss Lian'er went out in the morning and said she would go to Yongning Marquis' Mansion to borrow some shoes!"

Xue Run sneered.

The old lady didn't understand what he was like; the dog shouted carefully: "Young Master?"

Xue Run asked Gou'er: "Do you know about Lian'er?"

"... It was Yuzhong next to the eldest young master who reminded me. I noticed for a while that Lian'er did often return to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

By the way, the young master, she vomited last time, and she was very happy those days; then she was unhappy again, and she told the mothers that she had a small day, and her back was sore." Gou'er said.

Xue Run frowned.

Gou'er: "Young Master, Lian'er must have served the marquis!"

She thought she was pregnant and her mother was proud of her son. After a few days, her life came and she realized that she had only felt stomach discomfort and she was very disappointed again.

Xue Run: “…”

He was both disgusting and nauseous for a moment.

When Lian'er came back, Xue Run was squatting at the door.
