MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 685 Fanwai Qu Weizhen sister and brother (15)
At that time, her first impression was that her in-laws were trying to steal her dowry, but she later found out that she was thinking too much.
In the eyes of my in-laws, their family is indeed not doing well, so that they go out early every morning to set up a stall selling tea eggs and pancakes.
After so many years, she knew what the Qu family should know and what she should not know. To put it bluntly, the Qu family has always been divided into two worlds.
The world they presented in the eyes of their in-laws was that the Qu family was poor and impoverished, the whole family lived on Qu Weizhen's salary, and Qu Jingxi was still studying and needed support from Qu Weizhen;
In fact, their sister and brother not only bought the yard secretly, but also saved money little by little to run some businesses in two shops, so they could earn some income every month.
I bought two villages in the north where the fields were relatively cheap, and rented them to others for farming, and received some land rent every year.
At first, she didn't understand why it was like this, because it was not a pleasant thing for her in-laws to go out to set up a stall, but she understood after the third aunt kept her in-laws at home for three days.
It is better for my in-laws to go out and set up a stall, so that they have something to do, and they are satisfied with the money they earn, and their families can live a lot better.
Huang Qin didn't know what the third aunt said to her in-laws. Anyway, after they recognized her marriage that day, they didn't mention that she should hand over her dowry to them for management, and they also handed over the housekeeping power to her.
She no longer bothered with her maids, but let them serve her with peace of mind and let them make clothes and so on.
The incomparable harmony of the composers.
For so many years, she has nothing to worry about except that her in-laws go out to set up a stall every day, which makes her a little distressed.
But now that her in-laws were coaxed by the third aunt's 2 taels of silver, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken. If the two elders knew the truth, she didn't know what would happen.
These two taels of silver are really...
Qu Weizhen set up a female household, and her property was separated from the Qu family. Now she has a shop and a village under her name. And this house also has half of hers. She is not married yet. Even if she runs a female household, she is also her husband's sister.
The moon silver that goes out from her every month is five taels, and there are new clothes and new jewelry every season...
Fortunately, my in-laws are illiterate, otherwise, they will definitely be in trouble when they see the ledger.
Coaxing her parents, Qu Weizhen smiled slightly, nodded to her sister-in-law, and got up to go to the academy.
Father Qu's joy of receiving the money slowly dissipated, he frowned and said, "I see that she doesn't want to get married at all, does she really want to stay at home and be an old girl?"
Mother Qu frowned, turned her head and said to Huang Qin: "Daughter-in-law, you know a lot of people, why don't you find your third auntie, and if there are suitable ones, introduce them to meet. She is stubborn, we can't control her. She is, and she can listen to a word or two of her brother's words."
Huang Qin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I'll tell my husband when I look back, if I want to talk about people I know, it's still my husband. There are always some of his classmates and colleagues who are married."
Father Qu and Mother Qu's eyes lit up and nodded, "This is good, this is good, if you marry an official, you can also help Xiaobao in the future."
Huang Qin knew that it was easy to coax her in-laws, just follow their words and let her husband handle it afterwards.
Huang Qin took the order to leave, but Qu Weizhen's marriage was really important, she couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xianggong, is the third sister planning to groom herself?"
Qu Jingxi nodded slightly, "Third sister doesn't plan to marry anymore."
Huang Qin opened her mouth wide and said after a while, "Sanjie is amazing."
Qu Jingxi couldn't help laughing, "Why are you so amazing?"
Huang Qin said solemnly: "How many women in this world can make up their minds not to marry for a lifetime? Most of them escaped into the void and became nuns. Some of them can rise and fall in the world like the third sister, and there are others. so successful?"
"Let her go, as long as she is happy." Although Qu Jingxi felt a little regretful and sad, she still chose to respect her choice.
"Why doesn't the third sister want to get married?" Huang Qin couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Because it's very tiring to marry," Qu Jingxi said in a low voice: "In Sanjie's view, it is very difficult to maintain a family again, and most people in the world have prejudice against women, so what she does is very easy. Be the clash of those prejudices."
Huang Qin was silent.
No matter how high the status of women is now, their main battlefield is still considered to be the back house.
Now there are many women who go out of the house to work in public, and some even engage in very respectable occupations, but they also have to take care of their families.
The husband and the child are still considered to be their main responsibilities, and the third aunt works even more hours every day than her husband, treating herself as a man completely.
Apart from eating and sleeping, she rarely appears in the back house, most of the time either outside or in the study.
Such a daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, very few people can accept it at the moment, Huang Qin sighed, it seems that the third aunt is going to die at home.
Qu Weizhen has always been single, she quickly took over as the second mountain president of Yunlu Academy, and she did not marry until Qu's father and Qu's mother passed away.
Instead, she became an outstanding woman in Da Chu. She opened Yunlu College to the south, south, central and west of the Yangtze River, with as many as twelve branches. Almost wherever Yunlu College opened, people would hear it. her name.
There is a monument erected at the entrance of each Yunlu Academy, with only the name of the current mountain chief, so the first name is Li Baolu, and the second is Qu Weizhen. It is difficult for everyone to know her.
In addition to being the mountain director of Yunlu Academy, she also participated in the construction of water conservancy projects in the Ministry of Industry in her own name, and even participated in the renovation of the palace.
Women from middle-class families and below in Dachu are proud to be able to attend Yunlu College, and because of its establishment, other women's colleges and technical colleges are also open in Dachu.
Dachu's craftsmanship has grown exponentially, and even the historians couldn't help but write her down in the history books, and the date of Yunlu Academy's establishment was also recorded in the history books.
No one would have thought that the founding meeting of a small women's house would go down in history and become a driving force in advancing the historical process.
And the emperor even named her a three-class lady, even if she was not married in her life, she became the person many women wanted to be.
She had no children in her life, and she did not adopt any of them. After her death, she directly divided the property under her name into five shares. Except for one for the academy, the other four were distributed to the descendants of her four siblings.
Qu Weizhen was also buried in the ancestral tomb of the Qu family, and enjoyed the worship of the children of the Qu family for generations.
The first one is the mother of the song, and the second one is naturally Scutellaria baicalensis.
The Qu family flew out of the chicken coop and became a phoenix. I don’t know how many people envy them. Especially after Qu Jingxi became Minister of Industry, those old people in the Qujia village who knew the inside story all sighed the good luck of Qu Jingxi’s sister and brother. , was selected by the couple that year, and has since embarked on a road to the sky.
Qu Jingxi didn't have much ambition, but he could read, so his grades in the imperial examinations were not bad.
He had no ambition, and his interests were mainly in agriculture, so he entered the Ministry of Industry after three years of Hanlin, and his main research was water conservancy projects and rice seeds.
In terms of mathematics, he is far inferior to her sister, so many water conservancy projects are actually built with Qu Weizhen's shadow behind her. She also participated in the dredging of the Yellow River with her real name. Several water conservancy projects were constructed, and even she With the students of Yunlu College, the waterwheel was improved, and then the Ministry of Industry completed it.
Yunlu College also bloomed all over the Chu region through Qu Jingxi. The imperial court awarded Yunlu College medals many times to encourage them to make more inventions and improvements.
Qu Jingxi's research on rice has also achieved unprecedented achievements. Through layer-by-layer selection and cultivation, it took nearly 20 years to cultivate as many as eight kinds of rice seeds. delicious……
It depends on which one you want to choose.
When Qu Jingxi started his career, the yield per mu of rice seeds he researched has reached 560 jin per mu. Of course, this is the data from the experimental field. In fact, it can reach 400 jin per mu if it is planted in the private sector.
This is also much higher than the previous yield of more than 200 catties per mu, and there is not much difference in taste, so it is still delicious.
Of course, he was able to achieve this because he had a good subordinate, Fu Dalang, the official inspector of the fifth grade.
The reason why Qu Jingxi went to study rice is because he came from a farming family and wanted to make life easier for the farmers, and secondly, it was the influence of Fu Dalang.
In those years, during the holidays, the favorite place for husband and wife to take them was the farm.
And he and the third sister have to take a group of radish heads to the fields to do farm work, sowing rice seeds, planting rice seedlings, fertilizing, harvesting, and even weeding and catching insects. They have all done it.
Fu Dalang didn’t just work on farming. He could only write simple words, but using those words and symbols he knew, he recorded many, many notes.
In addition to rice planting notes, there are also notes for wheat, various vegetables and fruits, and even for raising chickens, ducks, geese and fish.
Before he was admitted to the jinshi, he had done research for more than ten years, and all he could do was to take the stick from him and gather the resources of the Ministry of Industry to study with him.
And he was able to become the Minister of Industry, and Fu Dalang was able to go from an illiterate farmer to a five-quality inspector, because they made enough contributions.
In addition to rice, other planting and breeding techniques have also been improved, and seeds have also been improved.
has the ability and made real contributions. The second brother is the emperor, and the other is the cabinet elder. It is difficult for him to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Being able to leave so many things in this world, and occupying a heavy part in the history books, he felt that this life was not a waste of time.
And recalling the past, he is most fortunate that the husband and his wife stayed there because of the rain. The husband taught him a section of the Analects on a whim. The teacher saw the third sister's talent in arithmetic, which gave him and the third sister one more chance, a thorough A life-changing opportunity.
Otherwise, today he is just an ordinary farmer in Qujia Village.
