Chapter 298 Three Years Later
Cui Qingyi looked up when she heard the laughter, and saw that the man, who was always very serious and solemn in front of outsiders, could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
After the two children were one month old, they grew a little. Their reddish skin became fair and tender, and their big, round eyes looked like Cui Qingyi. Fan Hui and others came to visit the children and Cui Qingyi, and without exception, they all said that the children looked like Cui Qingyi.
Even Amu and others could not say with a clear conscience that the young master looked like Jing Wei.
Jing Wei appeared to be indifferent, but when no one was around he would always whisper with the two young ladies, and he would even say some childish things casually.
Now, at the children's full-moon banquet, Jing Wei finally got what he wanted.
Twins are so rare, especially since these two sisters are of great importance in Dongping County. Everyone who comes here doesn't want to take a look at them, even newly married young women want to share in the village chief's blessing.
At this moment, hearing the laughter coming from the men, several brave women said, "Village Master, how can a group of grown men take care of children? Be careful not to scare the young masters. Hurry and bring the children over so that we can have some fun too."
Cui Qingyi readily followed suit. Taozhi and Aunt Cui brought the children over. When the children smelled the scent of their mother, their dark eyes rolled around. Their little looks could make even the most heartless person feel a little compassionate.
The two children didn't stay with Cui Qingyi for a while. The younger sister Yunshu yawned first, looking around with her big watery eyes, and her elder sister followed closely behind.
Cui Qingyi touched the two little ones' faces lovingly, and then had someone take them to find their father.
Jing Wei had been waiting eagerly for a long time, and skillfully wrapped the children in his wide sleeves to prevent them from being stained by the slightest smell of alcohol.
Women are often sensitive and were very moved when they saw this scene. The little things in the county and the village were well-known, and they would become the topic of conversation among the women after dinner when they sat together.
Due to the deep-rooted idea that men are the gods, people mostly think that men who are willing to marry into the family are useless and live off their wives. But as time goes by, everyone can see that the male master of the village lord's mansion is so powerful that even all the big men in Dongping County can't catch up with him.
That's fine, but just look at the way she holds the child and you can tell she definitely takes care of him a lot. Although men are supposed to work outside and women inside, who wouldn't be jealous? How could the Dongping Township Lady be so lucky? Not only did she find a man willing to marry into her family, but he also earns money and takes care of the child. It's true that comparisons kill people, and comparisons are just a waste of time.
Before, I secretly laughed at the Dongping Village Lord for taking care of such a huge property, trying my best to get pregnant with two children but not giving birth to a boy. Now I can't do anything when I see the village Lord's mansion is full of guests, and the common people are enjoying the buffet and praising the village Lord's mansion in every possible way.
Three years later
March 9th
Dongping County opened the city gates early in the morning, and a grand event is happening here today.
For three years, the Lord of Dongping Township is still the hottest topic in this small county. No, it should be said that the Lord of Dongping Township is the hottest topic in the entire Dajin.
If it is said that Lord Zhou Yanxiu single-handedly promoted the foreign trade in Dongping County, attracted many merchants from Dajin to trade, and turned Dongping County from an unknown remote county into a wealthy county ranked among the top in Dajin, then the prosperity of Dongping County in the next three years was inseparable from the various tactics of the Dongping Township Lord.
These things can be roughly summarized as follows. The first is that as merchants brought reed flower white to every corner of Dajin, more people saw the business opportunities and turned their attention to Dongping County. As more and more caravans came and went, the head of Dongping Township saw the opportunity and established a large-scale trade fair with Luhua Town as the center.
Anyone who comes here will find that this place is more than just white reed catkins.
There are many kinds of liquors with the words "Luhua Town" printed on them, including white liquor, wine, beer, sweet wine, and fruit wine. Some first-time merchants can't even leave standing after trying a little bit of everything in the liquor street.
The vinegar here is also famous. The most popular among merchants is the fruit vinegar made from fruits and vegetables. This kind of acetic acid has the sweetness of fruits and vegetables. It is said that using this vinegar as a side dish has the effect of nourishing the skin and reducing weight, and is quite popular among aristocratic ladies.
When talking about vinegar, we have to mention the soy sauce from Luhua Town, which has a unique flavor, but we will not mention it for now.
The reason why merchants flocked here is that Luhua Town has a wide range of goods, and there is nothing you can't find.
From small items such as needles, thread, hoes, rice, flour, grain and oil that ordinary people use in their homes to large items such as fur ornaments and household furniture, everything is available.
Nowadays, there are merchants from all over Dajin supplying goods to Luhua Town. For example, the furs of Luhua Town are supplied by fur merchants from the north, and rice and grain are supplied by major grain-producing areas.
Of course, Cui Qingyi’s suppliers are not static. If any quality problems occur during the supply process, Luhua Town will launch a business invitation for such goods and re-select the supplier with the best quality to continue cooperation.
When Cui Qingyi first proposed the concept of a commercial center, even Jing Wei was not optimistic about it. After all, it sounded like a fantasy.
But being pessimistic is one thing, firmly supporting all the decisions made by the lady and providing help is what Jing Wei will do.
For three years, Cui Qingyi and Jing Wei were almost always busy, running around every corner of Dajin all the time, and could only rely on Snowball and Gulu to exchange information about each other's recent situation.
Fortunately, the result was gratifying. Cui Qingyi personally established a commercial distribution center that had never appeared in Dajin.
Even Zhou Yanxiu had never thought that the land he had casually allocated to Cui Qingyi would have developed to this extent. In short, the Lord of Dongping Township is now rich.
But today's bustle is not because of the merchants coming and going, but because the imperial court has issued an order to promote the village chief.
Many people may not understand why the court promoted the Dongping Township Lord, thinking that if he made such a big move, it would arouse the fear of the outside world.
This is because the local landlords are not only thinking about making money for themselves, they are also really concerned about the people of Dajin.
Not to mention the distant past, the curved plow and waterwheel built by Luhua Town last year, and the rice seeds that could be harvested twice a year, greatly increased the grain output of the Jin Dynasty. These were all experiments conducted by Luhua Town itself, and the results were not presented to the court free of charge until they came out.
In recent years, whenever a natural disaster occurred in Dajin, Cui Qingyi would donate money and supplies to the people in the disaster-stricken areas in the name of Luhua Town.
Of course, this is nothing. What really won Cui Qingyi the title of County Princess was the credit of corn. You heard it right. After potatoes became popular throughout the Jin Dynasty, Cui Qingyi found a new grain for the Jin Dynasty, corn.
This is truly productive.
His Majesty the present was munching on a corn cob and with a stroke of his pen he promoted Cui Qingyi's rank.
Today is the enthronement ceremony of the Princess of Dongping County. It is said that the Ministry of Rites has specially sent a team here. The people are proud of it and have been waiting to watch the excitement since early morning.
At this moment in the village chief's mansion, Cui Qingyi was holding a teacup and watching the fun.
Yunjuan and Yunshu had been quarreling since early morning. Jing Wei, the filial father, tried to comfort them, but half an hour had passed and there was no improvement.
