Chapter 85

In a short month, Ling Jingxuan's manor was almost completed. The green brick courtyard wall spread from Yuehua ditch in the east to xiaogongshan in the West. Three walls surrounded the manor. In order to get around conveniently, except the front gate, a small gate was opened in the middle of the wall on both sides for carriage access The straight cobblestone road connected to the wasteland in the Inland Sea basin was not far away from the newly built official road. The whole manor looked like a grand palace hall from a distance. The only drawback was that the courtyard was in space.

The main entrance of Ling Jingxuan did not use the typical double open wooden door in ancient times. Instead, it chose the modern strong and strong iron bar gate. The door was painted with red paint, which looked like a kind of luxury. The manor is still in the finishing stage. Although the necessary furniture has been built by carpenters, they have moved all the things that should be moved here, and the food and sleep are all here Jingxuan hasn't named the manor yet. He wants to get together and think of a nice name when everyone is free.

Push open the big iron gate, a green stone slab road leads to the main house 100 meters away. The ground on both sides has been covered with grape branches cut by Ling Jingxuan from the mountain. Under the careful watering of crescent spring, the thick branches have been rejuvenated.

The main room is decorated with green bricks and black tiles. The main room is at least hundreds of square meters. There are eight bedrooms on the left and right sides. Each bedroom has a modern style of three bedrooms and one living room. It has its own bathroom equipment and small kitchen. It can not only rest but also treat guests separately. On both sides of the main room, there are huge clean kitchens, two spacious warehouses and the entrance of the cellar, On one side is Ma Peng. Cowshed and independent wolf house, pigsty, chicken house and duck shed are all planned to the backyard.

Around the main house, there are only four large brick houses with a height of at least three meters and a row of ten meters on the left. Each of them has a double door, with a considerable area. That is the so-called workshop of Ling Jingxuan. On the right is a row of large tiled houses that go directly to the bottom of the yard. However, they are divided into many small rooms, which are spare warehouses and servants' rooms.

No matter the factory building or the people's room, the front and back sides have planned out the area for planting fruit trees. Although there is nothing to plant at present, the large pond covering an area of 5 mu has been filled with water and lotus roots have been planted in the pond about 10 meters away from the main house. However, it can not be seen that Ling Jingxuan also introduced a large amount of water when drawing water from Yuehua ditch He also let Ling Jingpeng and song Geng Niu charter a boat to Lingjiang to salvage a large number of duckweeds, which can not only add a bit of green flavor to the yard, but also can raise fish and ducks. This is because the surface of the pond is basically covered with green.

In the middle of the pond, there is a huge corridor connecting the head and the tail. It is not only for the family to pass through, but also the octagonal pavilion in the middle can rest and cool. Later, when the fruit trees around the pond are all grown, the lotus in the pond is also open. The scenery is very beautiful, not to mention, after the pavilion is completed, it seems to be Ling Jinghan's private study, and there is nothing to do every day He would take song Shuisheng with him, twist on a pot of herbal tea and a plate of snacks specially made by Song Yang's family. In the past, he would sit for most of the day.

At the back of the pond, several huge sheds were built, which were pig pen, chicken house and duck shed. Two pigs and dozens of chickens bought earlier were all moved into the new nest. Ling Jingxuan went to catch eight pigs, 200 chickens and 500 ducklings to put them in. When the new year was over, he was afraid that there would be a big harvest, and then it would be connected to the foot of Yuehua mountain It's a lot of open space, which will be used for planting fruit trees in the future.

On the whole, except for the houses and the cloisters on the pond, the whole manor is still open. However, it will be another beautiful scenery in the coming year when the trees are in shade.

In this month, Ling Jingxuan is not idle. Xinyuan restaurant has come to pull the goods twice. In addition, with the money for selling fish, the more than 2000 Liang silver spent on buying land and building houses has been earned back.

Compared with him, he was more and more rich, and the old Ling family was miserable. According to the decision of the elder clan leader and the elders, Ling Jingwei was not allowed to redeem his military service. Lizheng personally returned the twenty Liang silver he had received to Ling Chengcai and his wife. Not long after that, Ling Jingwei was sent to the conscription camp, and Ling Chenghua was forced by Ling Jingwei She was escorted by an old woman. Although she was not driven out of the house, her reputation was completely destroyed. In this life, let alone marry, I'm afraid I would not dare to see anyone. In addition, Ling Chengcai and his wife hated her because of their son's affairs. Even if there was an old lady, her life in that house was not easy.

Because of this, the old scholar's family lost the public's support completely. They could no longer regard themselves as high as ever. Even the old man's private school was closed because almost all the villagers took their children back and swore in front of them. Even if the children were not allowed to read, they could not become the scum and beast like Ling Jingwei.

A series of attacks made Ling Qiyun ill, and almost all the Ling family fell into the hands of the old lady. The big room was fighting for the separation of the family for the sake of his son, and the life of the third room was not easy. Ling Chenglong was separated, and the big room was in turmoil again. All the housework and the work in the field fell on the head of the third room. They were lazy and used to it. Ling Chenghu and his wife were also complaining I quietly went to Ling Jingxuan's house to find Ling Chenglong and tried to persuade them to go back. However, song Geng Niu obeyed the order of Shengrui and beat him once without asking why. They didn't even see Ling Chenglong and his wife.However, all these have nothing to do with Ling Jingxuan. He still lives a busy, full and peaceful life every day. After sending his son to school in the morning, he goes to the mountain with Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingpeng to pick fruit, have lunch for a little rest, and then wash the fruit with Ling Wang's, Song Yang's family and others to make jam until his son comes back in the afternoon, and the family and three members of Zhao's family sit around the special order together Usually, dinner is not dark the day after tomorrow. Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui and others have to go to the factory to cook jam. The four steamed stuffed buns, under the leadership of Ling Jinghan, practice calligraphy and endorsements. When it gets dark, in an era of no entertainment, the busy day is over.

"Dad, don't be busy. Come and try my wine."

Recently, they have moved all the things in the thatched cottage to the new house. After walking and eating in the evening, Ling Jingxuan finally remembered the wine that he had sealed and put under the cellar of the old house. It was almost time to calculate. He resolutely took Yan Shengrui to the cellar and took a bottle out.

"Well, I'll get this wooden wedge right away."

In the new house, furniture such as beds and wardrobes are all made by carpenters at home. What is missing is the desk, chair and other things that Ling Jingxuan specially requires. These are small items. Ling Chenglong is reluctant to pay for his son any more. He actively takes all the work and buries himself in a pile of wood every day.

"When can't we do it? It's dark. Dad, you can do it tomorrow."

"Oh, come on!"

"Don't pay attention to him. He's just a laborer. Oh, Jingxuan, what kind of wine is this? Why is it red?"

Ling Wang, who had recovered, glared at the busy man in the yard. When he saw the blood red liquid in the glass, he could not help but cry out. He picked up one of the cups, looked down, looked left and right, and was extremely curious. Ling Jinghan and others around the table were no better. Almost everyone's face was more or less surprised than Yan Shengrui.

"Mother, how would you like to taste it?"

Without answering her question, Ling Jingxuan smiles and gives her a look of encouragement. Ling Wang, who is carrying red wine, tentatively sniffs the wine and carefully puts the cup to his lips. All the people's eyes fall on her. At first, she just sticks out her tongue and licks it. Then it seems that she has tasted the taste, and then she drinks the cup with her head up All the wine in it.

"Ah! It's good to drink. It's different from other wines. It's not spicy at all. There's a faint smell of fruit. Jingxuan, can I have another drink

Reluctantly, she smashed her lips. Ling Wang's eyes glared at the wine jar in his hand. It was the first time that she drank such a good wine, which was better than the sugar water mixed with jam.

"Ha ha Niang, no matter how good you drink, you can have a drink every night in the future, which is helpful for your sleep and beauty. Don't drink too much. "

It's not that he can't give up. Lingwang usually doesn't drink. There are at least three or two glasses in a cup just now. Let her drink again. When the wind blows, she will be drunk.

"Dad, this is the wine you made from wild grapes. Can I drink it?"

However, everything related to food and drink can never be without steamed stuffed buns. As soon as he came back from boxing outside, he could smell the fruit fragrance from afar. Without thinking about it, he left his brother Lingwen. He had already climbed up Yan Shengrui's thighs with all his hands and feet. His eyes like longan were staring at the cup in front of them, and the corner of his mouth appeared saliva that had not been seen for a long time Traces.

"You want to drink, I'll talk about it in ten years."

Seeing his little nephew's lovely appearance, Ling Jingpeng, sitting opposite him, couldn't help joking. Every time he saw the food, he was just like a changed person. In the words of big brother, he was a standard food.

"Ah? Can't drink

Hearing the speech, after this period of careful care has been a lot of plump face, disappointed to collapse, a look may cry at any time, to Ling Jingxuan led the party can not help laughing, but has always been doting on the child Yan Shengrui cup directly to his lips: "can only drink a little, taste the taste."

No way, he just can't see the baby son disappointed.

"Ah

The small face glows brilliantly in an instant, the small steamed bun holds the cup in both hands, opens the big mouth to drink fiercely??

"Cough, it's hard to drink water..."

"Ha ha."

No matter how to say, it was wine. After pouring a mouthful of baozi, he was so uncomfortable that he stuck out his tongue. In the blink of an eye, his tears coughed. This time, even Yan Shengrui couldn't help laughing. Then Ling Wen, who followed in, saw his brother's embarrassed appearance and quickly poured out a cup of water and handed it to him. He did not forget to gouge out the two fathers who were extremely exaggerated with laughter Son of it? "Hoo Hoo?? Finally, Dad, why is this wine so hard to drink

After pouring several cups of tea, Ling Wu still pushed the glass aside. However, it smelled so good. It was just as hard to drink as hot pepper water.

"Little fool, wine should be tasted slowly. Who is like you? This wine is the lowest alcohol of all kinds. You are still young. Don't spoil my good wineHe bent his fingers and knocked on his forehead. Ling Jingxuan picked up his glass and took a sip. The wine made from wild grapes is different. It has rich fruit flavor, a little astringent taste and a small amount of alcohol concentration. Although it can't compare with those top-notch famous wines in previous generations, it's also above the middle.

Seeing this, other people also have a similar way to pick up the wine cup and sip it gently. The rich fruit fragrance instantly permeates the whole mouth. Everyone can't help but drink it with their heads up like Ling Wang's. It's the first time that they have drunk such a special wine.

"I think I've drunk this wine, but it's not as good as this one."

Putting down the cup, Yan Shengrui frowned. After the last incident, he had also quietly inquired about Prince Sheng and the front-line battlefield. However, his reaction was not so strong. He could only give up for the time being. Today is the first time in this month that he has a sense of familiarity.

Of course you have, the most noble prince of the royal family. What good things have you never tasted?

Ling Jingxuan was not angry and turned his eyes. He was too lazy to pay attention to him. Except for the first 20 bottles, he made 500 bottles of wine. According to the current situation, all the wine made this time should be very successful. Tomorrow, he would have to take it to the town and show it to Zhang's cupboard. Maybe these 500 bottles of wine can earn him a second pot of gold.

Thinking of the money to buy the land in the future, Danfeng's eyes almost narrowed into a straight line, and she always paid attention to him. Yan Shengrui's eyes were slightly spoiled. I don't know why. As long as it's Ling Jingxuan, regardless of the expression on his face, he thinks it's very nice.

"Dad, didn't you say the wine was for money?"

No matter how beautiful the atmosphere is, when you meet a small money slave, they are all cleaned up in an instant. All the people who are still savoring the wine have a puff in their heads. If they want to find a needle and thread to sew his mouth, can't he let them be more elegant for a while? Thanks to him, he is also a scholar. Why is he still full of copper stink and does not leave money in three words?

"Well, it's for money. Tomorrow I'll go with you to find the shopkeeper in the town. Let's ask the price first. If it's too cheap, we won't sell it. We'll keep it for ourselves."

He reached out to pick him up and put him on his leg. Ling Jingxuan ordered the tip of his nose. The capital he invested was not much. Wine is a good thing. If he could not afford the price, he would rather stay all of it.

"So much, how can you save all for yourself? Dad, I didn't mean you. I told you not to brew so much at the beginning, but you didn't listen to me. You asked Uncle Wang to order many jars on my back. How good it is now. There is a cellar full of wine. When do we have to drink it? No, I can't. tomorrow you ask Uncle Zhang. If the price is right, you can sell them. If you can take back two money, you can calculate two money.

Long time no see Lingwen type nagging again, looking at his constantly wriggling mouth, Ling Jingxuan only feel the corner of his mouth twitch, not strong, when did he say he can't sell it? He just said if, if ok?

"Ha ha."

Seeing this classic picture of his son teaching Laozi, people can't help laughing, and Ling Wen is afraid that he will be his father all his life.
