Upon hearing this, Qin Ming hugged Xiao Changxi tighter, placed his head gently on Xiao Changxi's shoulder, and whispered softly into her ear:
"Xi'er, you are really my good wife. It's great to have you."
When Xiao Changxi heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
She reached out and hugged Qin Ming and said with some resentment:
"Is the slave family really that good? If that's the case, why don't you see the young master combing the slave family's hair?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming straightened up immediately, looked at Xiao Changxi who was smiling but not smiling, and said:
"Xi'er, I really designed a hairstyle for you? Do you want to try it?"
Xiao Changxi felt happy when she heard this and was about to nod, but after thinking about the scene in the house, she finally shook her head.
Seeing this, Qin Ming guessed Xiao Changxi's concerns and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
He reached out and took off Xiao Changxi's veil.
He stretched out his hand to caress her pretty face that looked like a fairy, and said softly:
"I feel sorry for you. When we have a chance, the two of us will go to Chang'an City to live for a few days. Then I will help you comb your hair every day, okay?"
As someone who has experienced this, Xiao Changxi naturally understands what Qin Ming means. But the hope in my heart finally defeated the shyness.
She blushed, nodded with a smile, and then took the initiative to kiss Qin Ming's lips.
After a while, the two of them separated.
After a while of tenderness, the two began to discuss the specific matters of purchasing the land.
The two finally decided to buy three thousand acres of land near Zhuangzi at a high price to grow cotton.
........
In the sixth year of Zhenguan, on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Sishi, Qinjiazhuang.
After Qin Ming finished his classes at the academy, he went to the engineering college to see the research progress of soft armor and gave some suggestions to the craftsmen.
Then he took the two girls with ponytails out of the academy, but today the two girls, Yang Zijun and Maotu, had replaced their double ponytails with single ponytails.
Qin Ming had to sigh at the ability of girls in this era to draw inferences from one example.
After Yang Zijun combed Mao Tu's double ponytail yesterday, he had an idea and combed a single ponytail for himself.
After a while, the girls in the backyard followed suit.
This led Qin Ming to find that when he got up this morning, the maids in the mansion had put on ponytails.
The number of single and double ponytails is basically evenly split, and Qin Ming even thinks that when he comes to the academy tomorrow, many students will wear ponytails.
Seeing Qin Ming's eyes looking at her ponytail from time to time, Yang Zijun couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
After thinking for a while, she walked to Qin Ming and said:
"Sir, the rice has been planted in the mansion for several days. Do you think it has sprouted now?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he thought about it secretly and found that it had indeed been five days.
Thinking of this, he stopped and said:
"Zijun, are you in a hurry to return home? If not, let's go to the greenhouse together and have a look?"
Yang Zijun smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said:
"OK."
In this way, the three of them turned around and walked towards the greenhouse.
.......
Qin and Ming soon arrived at the door of the rice greenhouse.
Qin Ming opened the door curtain with one hand, and then said to Yang Zijun and Mao Tu beside him:
"It's a little hot inside. If you feel uncomfortable, come out later."
The two women nodded after hearing this and followed Qin Ming into the shed.
When Liu San and others who were responsible for taking care of the rice saw Qin Ming coming in, they hurried over and saluted Qin Ming.
Qin Ming smiled and waved his hand, then asked:
"Sanlang, the rice has been planted for five days. Have you found any rice seeds that have germinated now?"
Upon hearing this, Liu San bowed and said:
"Back to the county man, the younger ones just found some germinated rice seeds in the fields. The younger ones were discussing whether to go to the house to inform the county man, but you came over."
Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile:
"Take us there quickly to take a look."
"promise."
After speaking, Liu San led Qin Ming and others into the field ridge.
After a while,
He pointed to a paddy field and said to the three of them:
"Sir, look."
The three of them followed the direction Liu San pointed, and when they looked around, they saw grains of rice sprouting out of the paddy fields, including tender white buds.
Maotu pulled Yang Zijun's sleeve excitedly and said:
"Miss, miss, look at those buds."
Yang Zijun smiled and patted Mao Tu's hand, and then she said to Qin Ming:
"Sir, do you know how long it will take for this rice to mature?"
Qin Ming felt very happy when he saw the rice sprouting. He turned to look at Yang Zijun and said:
"I'm not very sure how long it will take for the rice in the greenhouse to mature, but you reminded me. It seems that I need to arrange someone to record the growth process of the rice."
When Yang Zijun heard this, he had an idea and said:
"Sir, why don't you just leave this matter to me?"
Qin Ming thought about it and said:
"Not only do you teach in the academy now, but you also need to take care of the accounts of Zhuangzi's workshop. Wouldn't it be too hard if I leave the recordkeeping to you again?"
Yang Zijun smiled brightly when he heard this and said:
"It's not hard, it's not hard, as long as the master pays me more wages."
Qin Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a smile:
"I think it's not easy to deal with the wages. When I get back home, I will tell Butler Xiao that I will double the monthly salary for you and Mao Tu."
"As for recording the growth of rice, I can do it together with you in the future. And you are the core of the house now. Don't just be busy in the future. Pay more attention to your health. If you can't eat well, you must tell me, you know?"
These days, Yang Zijun has been focused on relying on his own abilities to help Qin Ming do more things.
Especially after Qin Ming was injured, she was worried and distressed.
But her current status does not allow her to stay by Qin Ming's side every day and take care of his daily life like Wan'er.
After much thought, she took the initiative to take charge of the various workshops in the academy and Zhuangzi.
So she was very busy every day. She went to the academy to attend classes in the morning, and in the afternoon she took Maotu with her to inspect various workshops in Zhuangzi.
The first is to help solve some miscellaneous things in the workshop, and the second is to handle the accounts in the workshop.
In her opinion, since she couldn't be by his side all the time, but she could help relieve some of his burden and make him less tired, she was already very happy.
Of course, the most important thing is that she can now spend a long time in the study with Qin Ming by reporting on the workshop.
While this kept her busy, she also felt very happy. After all, in the past, apart from going to the academy with Qin Ming every day, she didn't spend much time with Qin Ming during the time she returned to the Qin Mansion.
At this moment, I heard Qin Ming say that he wanted to record the growth of rice with her, and he was also very concerned about her health.
She became even happier, so she smiled and nodded.
"OK."
.......
It's three o'clock
Qin and Ming returned to Qin Mansion. As soon as they reached the door, Zi Shu walked down the steps and saluted Qin Ming:
"Sir, you are finally back."
Qin Ming raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Did something happen in the house?"
"The young master of the Cheng Mansion has come to see you. He is waiting for you in the front hall right now."
