Chapter 257： More haste less speed

Chapter 257 Can't eat hot tofu in a hurry

In the past, there was a shortage of firewood here in winter, and those who could make charcoal fires were rich families.

Now it’s all right. People don’t need to spend money to get firewood from the forest farm. When they have nothing to do, the whole family can wait at the gate of the forest farm.

People who manage the forest every day will throw a lot of pine branches from it.

Now the people have seen the benefits of planting trees, and they also remembered what Yuan Jiaqi told everyone.

"Let's all plant trees, and don't take up the trees. If someone plants a few trees in front of the house, there will be firewood in winter. When the house is built, there will be beams and boats."

Some village chiefs are shrewd. As early as when Yuan Jiaqi brought people to plant saplings, he led the villagers to start planting.

Now, several villages in She County have planted pine trees, among which Yuan Jiaqi provided the saplings.

He said, "Don't look at the front, it's just a sapling, look at the future, when it matures, it will benefit us."

Otherwise, those who are poor deserve to be poor all their lives. People have planted all the saplings, and some people are watching.

Yuan Jiaqi planted trees for three years, and some people followed suit for three years, while others waited and watched for three years.

Not to mention anything else, just from this year's firewood, we can see the significance of trees to She County.

The Yuan family used Qiao Mai's slogan to declare to all the people in She County.

“If you want to be rich, first plant trees.”

After spending so much money, there will always be some results. When the first winter came, Qiao Mai went there to have a look.

Compared to the bald look before, it is much better now.

County magistrate Zhu also brought people to visit. Regarding the tree planting in She County, he said that Yi County can also learn from it.

The premise is that Mrs. Qiao needs to help, but there is no movement here at all. I can only wait for the Chinese New Year to come and communicate with Mrs. Qiao to see if I can provide some saplings to support his work.

Being an official, no matter whether it is for the people or for yourself, you must have some political achievements.

Seeing that Yuan Jiaqi has already achieved such achievements after only three years in office, how can County Magistrate Zhu be reconciled, he has to take this light, hmph!

Ms. Mu returned to Beijing as soon as the twelfth lunar month entered. Before she left, she bought all the items from Qiaoji Snack Shop and Jixiang Embroidery Shop, and then she left contentedly.

As soon as she left, Qiao Mai obviously found that Yunfeng's spirit was not in a good state.

This dead girl ran away after lighting the fire. Isn't this a scam.

Man and woman who are in love wish they could be conjoined twins, especially a young boy like Yunfeng, who has never fought against Miss Mu who is one year older than him.

Looking at his son who was getting thinner day by day, Qiao Mai wished he could fly to the capital immediately and catch Miss Mu back.

When the two younger brothers were studying together at night, Fengyun persuaded him.

"Brother, what are you doing? She just went back to Beijing to reunite with her family during the Chinese New Year. It's not like she won't come back. Let's see what you look like?"

"I just miss her,"

"A good man has ambitions everywhere. You are doing this for a woman, and you have not yet written your horoscope. You are so hopeless, you are really useless."

"I, I can't control myself, alas~ Whoever told her she was too good, I'm always afraid that I won't be good enough for her."

"We are the sons of our mother, how can we say that they are not worthy? Our father is four yuan and the first, our mother is both civil and military, and our ancestor is the first-class wife, who is not a famous person?"

"Her family is from the capital city. I heard that the family is distinguished. People like ours are not very impressive in the capital city."

"What do you mean, you didn't give birth to a good family?"

Fengyun got a little anxious, Yunfeng quickly waved his hands, "No, I don't mean that, I'm just afraid that her family will look down on our family, and the marriage will be dirty before the marriage is mentioned."

"That's for the future. We're still young. What do you want to do so far? The most important thing for us now is to study hard and get good grades in the next year's exam, so that the Mu family can see your excellence. You worry about gains and losses all day long, mother. You will be disappointed if you find out.”

Yunfeng suddenly cried, "I know, I don't want to, but I just can't help thinking about her."

Fengyun sighed, "Thinking of her will solve the problem. If you pass the exam next year, don't even think of her. By then, you might be separated."

"I,"

"Brother, calm down and study hard, otherwise you will lose everything in the end. Only when you are excellent can you have the opportunity to be with her."

At this moment, Qiao Mai was listening to the conversation between the two, she sighed.

Glanced at Yuan Jiaqi who was reading with his head down, "Sir?"

"Where are you, my lady, what are your orders?"

"Have you ever loved?"

Yuan Jiaqi raised his head and thought about it seriously, "I have loved my wife, others have not."

"Have you ever been broken in love?"

"nothing now"

"Then I kicked you, do you have a taste?"

"My lady, you are water and I am a fish. I can't live without you, so my lady should stop teasing me as a husband. What's the matter, that I let my lady say such a thing?"

"The eldest son may be in love, and the other party has a high family status, so our family can be a bit high"

"From the capital?"

"Whose girl?"

"Zhen Guogong's"

"Hiss,"

Yuan Jiaqi couldn't read the book anymore, "Oh, the family of Zhen Guogong, that's really high-ranking, I'm afraid our family is really high-ranking."

"As long as Feng'er doesn't let me down, even the moon in the sky, our family will also marry. The key is that he is like this now, and he really can't get excited. He fell into lovesickness as soon as he left."

"Go and see for my husband"

"Uh-huh"

Yuan’s family got up and left for a long time, and came back when it was dark.

"The lady got it done!"

"My husband explained the pros and cons of this to him. If he studies hard, he still has a chance. If he doesn't study hard, there will be no chance between the two. It all depends on his choice."

"Is this the end?"

"Ah? If he wants the two of them to be together, he has to work hard. No one can help him. Feng'er also expressed his opinion that he must work hard. By the way, my lady, speaking of this matter, I want to set up a county in She County Learning, free, how about something like ours?"

"Do you think I have a lot of money?"

"hey-hey,"

"There is no income from the forest land, so you just think about it. If you have money, you can do it yourself. I have no money"

"Then wait for the forest land to have income, then do it? The main reason is that She County is too poor, and the children are running around at home."

"Before you said that you would repay me, wait until you become an official. You are now an official, but I have paid more money than before."

Yuan Jiaqi lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, my lady, it's all because of my husband's fault, I'm too eager for quick success."

"Hmph, a few years ago the Wang family would send 100,000 taels of silver to our house every year, but I haven't opened it since this year, so don't think about it again."

Yuan Jiaqi scratched his hair in embarrassment, "My husband knows, let's wait until the forest land has income."

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I think you can't wait to fill the hole in She County with the entire treasury."

"Hey, my mother is right, I am anxious for my husband."

Yuan Jiaqi stayed at home for two days and then returned to Shexian County. Yunfeng's condition has also improved a lot. It seems that the enlightenment is still effective.

Qiao Mai felt that it was necessary to visit the capital, so she went to the capital alone on the night of Yuan's departure.

In the past, it took her two hours to go from Tianshui Town to the capital, but because of the increase in cultivation, it only took one hour to get there tonight.

Qiao Mai didn't turn a corner at anyone, and went directly to the Zhen Guogong's mansion.

She just wanted to see what kind of attitude this girl had towards Yun Feng, and to see if the Zhen Guogong knew about it.

As a result, I happened to meet this scene.

"Princess, just rested"

Ms. Mu is sitting by the window, looking at the moon in the sky.

"I don't know what happened to Yunfeng?"

"Princess, he is only sixteen years old after the new year. You should make love with him in private now. If the master finds out, he will be so angry."

"You don't tell me, I don't tell you, who knows?"

As soon as Qiao Mai rolled her eyes, she knew that no one in Zhen Guogong's family knew about it, and that this girl was too daring.
