Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 685 Extra Story Qu Weizhen Sister and Brother (15)

At that time, her first feeling was that her in-laws were trying to steal her dowry, but she later realized that she was thinking too much.

In the eyes of the parents-in-law, the life of their family is indeed not good, so that they have to go out early every morning to sell tea eggs and pancakes.

After so many years, she knows everything that the Qu family should know and what she shouldn't know. To put it bluntly, the Qu family has always been divided into two worlds.

The world they presented to their parents-in-law is that the Qu family is poor and destitute, and the whole family lives on Qu Weizhen's salary, and Qu Jingxi is still studying and needs Qu Weizhen's support;

But in fact, their siblings not only bought the yard secretly, but also managed some businesses under the two shops under the savings plate, which can earn some income every month.

I bought two villages in the north where the land was relatively cheap, and rented it out to others for cultivation, and collected some land rent every year.

At first she didn't understand why this happened, because it's not a good thing for her parents-in-law to go out to set up a stall, but she understood after the third aunt left her parents-in-law at home for three days.

It is better for the parents-in-law to go out and set up a stall, so that they have something to do and are satisfied with the money they make, and the life of the family can be much easier.

Huang Qin didn't know what the third aunt had said to her parents-in-law, anyway, they never mentioned asking her to hand over the dowry to them after they recognized their relatives that day, and at the same time handed over the housekeeping rights to her.

She didn't bother with her maids any more, instead she let them serve and make clothes with peace of mind.

The composer is incomparably harmonious.

For so many years, she really has nothing to worry about except that her parents-in-law go out to set up a stall every day, which makes her a little distressed.

But seeing that her parents-in-law are coaxed by the third aunt's two taels of silver again, she couldn't help but feel distressed. If the two elders knew the truth, what would happen.

These two taels of silver are really...

Qu Weizhen opened a female household, and her property was separated from the Qu family. Now she has a shop and a Zhuangzi under her name. And half of this house is hers. She is not yet married, even if she has a female household, she is still her husband's biological sister.

The monthly silver that goes out of her every moonlight is five taels, and there are new clothes and jewelry every season...

Fortunately, my parents-in-law are illiterate, otherwise they would definitely have an uproar when they saw 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 aunt, and if you find someone suitable, introduce them to meet. She has a stubborn temper, we can't control her anymore, she can only listen to a few words from her brother."

Huang Qin smiled and said: "Don't worry, parents, I will tell Xianggong when I turn around. If I want to talk about people I know, there are still a lot of people I know, and there are always some of his classmates and colleagues who are not married."

Qu's father and Qu's mother's eyes lit up, and they nodded, "That's good, that's good, if I marry an official, I can help Xiaobao in the future."

Huang Qin knew that it was very easy to coax her in-laws, as long as she followed what they said, and let her husband handle it afterwards.

Huang Qin took the order to leave, but Qu Weizhen's marriage was really important, she still couldn't help asking: "Sir, is the third sister planning to comb herself?"

Qu Jingxi nodded slightly, "Third sister doesn't plan to get married anymore."

Huangqin opened her mouth wide and said after a while, "Third Sister is so amazing."

Qu Jingxi couldn't help laughing, "How amazing?"

Huang Qin said solemnly: "How many women in this world can make up their minds not to marry for the rest of their lives? And most of them escaped into Buddhism and became nuns. How many of them can go up and down in the dunya like the third sister, and have such achievements?"

"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 does Third Sister not want to marry?" Huang Qin couldn't help being curious.

"Because it's tiring to be married," Qu Jingxi said a little depressed: "In the eyes of the third sister, it is very difficult to maintain a family again, and most people in the world are prejudiced against women, and what she does can easily become a conflict of those prejudices."

Scutellaria was silent now.

No matter how high the status of women is now, their main battlefield is still considered to be the rear house.

Now there are also 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.

Caring for their husbands and raising children is still considered their main responsibility, and the third aunt even works more hours than her husband every day, completely treating herself as a man.

Except for eating and sleeping, she seldom appears in the back house, and most of the time is either outside or in the study.

Such a daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are indeed very few people can accept at present, Huang Qin sighed, it seems that the third aunt is going to die at home.

It is true that Qu Weizhen has always been single, and she soon took over as the second head 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 Dachu. She opened Yunlu Academy to the south of the Yangtze River, the south, the middle and the west, with as many as twelve branches. Almost wherever Yunlu Academy opened, people would hear her name.

There is a stele erected at the entrance of each Yunlu Academy, on which there is only the name of the head of the mountain, so the first name at the beginning is Li Baolu, and the second is Qu Weizhen. It is difficult for everyone to know her.

In addition to being the mountain head of Yunlu College, she also participated in the construction of water conservancy projects of the Ministry of Industry in her own name, and she even participated in the repair of the palace.

Women from families below the middle class in Dachu are proud to be able to attend Yunlu College, and because of its opening, other women's colleges and technical colleges are also opened in Dachu.

Dachu's craftsmanship has seen a blowout growth, and even the historians couldn't help but write her down in the history books, and the date of Yunlu Academy's opening was also recorded in the history books.

No one thought that the opening of a small girls' hospital would be recorded in history and become a driving force in advancing the historical process.

And the emperor even named her a third-grade lady, even if she never married in her life, she has become the person that many women want 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 left to the college, the other four were divided among the descendants of her four siblings.

Qu Weizhen was also buried in the Qu family's ancestral grave, and enjoyed the worship of the Qu family's heirs for generations. After all, she was the third person in the Qu family to have an imperial order.

The first one is Qumu, and the second one is naturally Scutellaria baicalensis.

The Qu family flew out of the henhouse and became a phoenix. I don’t know how many people envied them, especially after Qu Jingxi became the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, those old people in the Qujia village who knew the inside story all lamented the good luck of Qu Jingxi’s siblings.

Qu Jingxi didn't have much ambition, but he could read, so his imperial examination results were not bad, and he began to enter the officialdom after he was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of twenty-five.

He had no ambitions, and was mainly interested in agriculture, so after three years in Hanlin, he entered the Ministry of Industry, where he mainly studied water conservancy projects and rice seeds.

In terms of mathematics, he is far inferior to her sister. Therefore, Qu Weizhen is behind the construction of many water conservancy projects. She has also participated in the dredging of the Yellow River with her real name, and the construction of several water conservancy projects.

It was also through Qu Jingxi that Yunlu Academy blossomed everywhere in Dachu. The imperial court awarded Yunlu Academy many times to encourage them to make more inventions and improvements.

And Qu Jingxi's research on rice has also achieved unprecedented achievements. Through layer upon layer selection and cultivation, it took nearly 20 years to cultivate as many as eight kinds of rice seeds, some with high yield, some with large rice grains, and some with soft and delicious...

It depends on which one you want to choose.

When Qu Jingxi became an official, the yield of the rice seeds he researched had reached 560 catties per mu. Of course, this is the data from the experimental field. In fact, it can reach 400 catties per mu if it is used for private sowing.

This is also much higher than the previous yield of more than two hundred catties per mu, and there is not much difference in taste, which is still quite delicious.

Of course, he was able to achieve this achievement because he had a good subordinate, Fu Dalang, a member of the inspection and engineering department of the fifth rank.

The reason why Qu Jingxi went to study rice was because he came from a farming family and wanted to make life easier for farmers, and the second was the influence of Fu Dalang.

During the holidays in those years, the favorite place for my husband and wife to take them was the farm, and when we got there, we threw them into the field and went away at ease.

And he and the third sister will take a group of radish heads to the field to do farm work, sowing rice seeds, transplanting rice seedlings, fertilizing, harvesting, and even weeding and catching insects.

Fu Dalang didn't just do farming. He could only write simple characters, but he took many notes with those characters and the symbols he knew.

In addition to rice planting notes, there are also notes on wheat, various vegetables and fruits, and even notes on raising chickens, ducks, geese, and fish.

He had done more than ten years of research before he passed the Jinshi exam, and all he could do was to take over the stick from him and gather resources from the Ministry of Industry to study with him.

And he was able to become Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Fu Dalang was able to change from an illiterate farmer to a five-quality inspector, because their contributions were large enough.

In addition to rice, other cultivation and breeding techniques have also improved, and the seeds have also been improved.

He is capable and has made real contributions. The second brother is the emperor, and the other brother is a cabinet elder. It is difficult for him not to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

To be able to leave so many things to this world, and to be able to occupy a strong mark in the history books, he feels that this life is not in vain.

Looking back on the past, he was most fortunate that the husband and his wife were borrowing because of the rain, and the husband taught him a passage of Analects on a whim. The teacher took a fancy to the third sister's talent in arithmetic, which gave him and the third sister an extra chance, a chance to completely change their lives.

Otherwise, today he is just an ordinary farmer in Qujia Village.
