Chapter 1146: Open-minded Mrs. Niu
If the farm was not very important to their Zhao family, she would not have come forward to say so much to this crazy county lady.
Although her status was not very high, she was conferred by the emperor himself.
As the lady of the Marquis's Mansion, the mother of the Imperial Concubine, and as an elder, she is very qualified to lecture the County Lord.
Gu Yao raised her eyebrows: "What Madam Hou said makes sense. If you think the smell is too strong, you can sell the surrounding farms, and I can buy it with reluctance. Is this sincerity enough?" Gu Yao was almost going crazy with joy, but she didn't show it on her face.
The Marquis's wife choked, as if her throat was blocked by cotton.
Some people are neutral and don't intend to get involved in what they say.
Most of them came just for the banquet.
To win over resources.
It was obvious that the Marquis's wife was trying to make things difficult for the famous county lady.
Some of the young ladies were still playing in the garden.
The older and more prestigious people watched the Marquis's wife and Lady Mingyang exchanging verbal attacks in the flower hall.
A lady from an unknown family spoke up, "I think what Lady Mingyang said is a good idea. I heard that the place is quite smelly. The Lady's farm is not very big. If you think it's not good, you can sell it directly to the Lady. That way you don't have to worry about it."
"Niu, what nonsense are you talking about? That is the best farm of our Zhao family. How can it be bought and sold casually? The farm of County Lady Mingyang is only the size of a palm. How can it be compared with our farm? In my opinion, let County Lady Mingyang take away all those dirty things. That will be good for everyone." said the wife of the second branch of the Zhao family.
"I am not talking nonsense. County Lady Mingyang is doing well in business, but you insist on causing trouble for her. That business is beneficial to the common people. There are many farmers around. These are all things that ordinary people can use! It can increase production for ordinary farmers, and they can earn a little more a year. They can also have enough food to eat. What's wrong with that? I was born into a farming family and I know how precious food is. You are just making things difficult for County Lady Mingyang, and you are trying to stifle the people's production increase." Niu said.
The Marquis' wife was shocked.
They said that their mansion prevented the common people and farmers from increasing production. Wouldn't their mansion become a criminal? They couldn't bear this big hat.
Second House Guan snorted, "Niu, you know your origin and you are still talking nonsense. The origins of all the Miss Feng here are higher than yours. If you know that your origin is low, don't stand up and speak. You have no right to interrupt me when I am talking."
After all, Guan is the second branch of the Zhao family. No matter where they go in the capital, people will give them some face.
How dare someone casually question what he said? Isn't that courting death?
The man of the Niu family is just a general, how can he be compared with the Marquis's Mansion?
Guan said without any scruples.
Gu Yao raised the corners of her mouth and clapped her hands lightly: "You must be the second wife of the Marquis's Mansion, I didn't expect you to be so nosy. I can't sell my farm to you unless you sell the Zhao family's farm to me. I think this is a good idea. This county lady is very happy to agree."
It's funny, you wouldn't sell his makeup easily, the underground project has been going on for such a long time.
His underground factory had to be run seriously.
Divide several areas to produce pills, which is the most profitable business. Sell to various countries.
There are some other businesses. Production based on circumstances.
She should just be a delicate and shameless county lady now.
The Marquis's wife didn't want Guan from the second house and Lady Mingyang to continue arguing.
"We can discuss these matters in private. Now let's go to the opera together!"
Gu Yao patted her butt and stood up, too lazy to talk nonsense with them.
Many noble ladies from the capital, and even princes and princesses from the imperial palace, came out for such occasions.
Why can’t I see Si Chen?
Qiuqiu, who had good eyesight, did not notice the princess.
The ladies walked out of the hall in groups of three or four.
Mrs. Niu is a person who often keeps to herself.
He was not speaking for Gu Yao just now, he was just saying what was on his mind.
It is precisely because of his crude and down-to-earth nature that he has a particularly bad reputation.
However, because of his status, he would be invited to every gathering.
Mrs. Niu also comes here every time.
As long as she is not embarrassed, then it is others who are embarrassed.
Gu Yao met Mrs. Niu in the corridor outside. She smiled and nodded in thanks.
"Mrs. Niu, thank you for your righteous words just now."
Gu Yao didn't have many friends in the ladies' circle, so she was willing to make friends with someone who was willing to tell the truth.
"There is nothing to thank you for. I was telling the truth just now. The fertilizers you made really helped the farmers a lot. The crops planted on our farm also grew much better than those without fertilizers. They are obviously taller and stronger. These people don't thank you, but slander you, the county lady. I just can't stand it. It would be great if this good thing could be rolled out so that farmers across the country can use it."
Mrs. Niu said with a smile.
This was just her imagination.
However, this stuff takes up space, and it is difficult to transport in bags. If the price is high, ordinary people will not be able to afford it.
"I also hope that people all over the country can use fertilizers as soon as possible, so that crops can grow well and the harvest can be abundant, and they can have enough food to eat, and there won't be so many refugees every year." Gu Yao said with a smile, and the two walked forward together.
Niu had just returned to the capital from the border with her husband. This county lord did not have a very good reputation in the capital, but she had a high prestige in the hearts of the people.
When they were at the border and worried about the plague during the New Year period, the bitter medicine soup they drank to defend against the plague was the prescription of this county lord.
It was because of this incident that Niu had a drastic change in her opinion of the county lord.
When they came to the capital, these ladies didn't seem to like the county princess very much.
But in her opinion, it doesn't matter if she is a widow. As long as she can do good things for the people, she, Niu, will like her.
Niu already had a good impression of Gu Yao, and now Gu Yao took the initiative to speak.
The smile on her face also became more sincere.
"Princess Mingyang, if you don't mind my background, then I would like to sit at the same table with you and we can eat and watch the show. What do you think?" Niu said with a smile.
"That's exactly what I meant. Madam Wu is so open-minded. I like you very much, too. We feel like old friends right away." Gu Yao laughed. The two of them were like real sisters.
When we arrived at the stage, there was a screen separating the men's and women's areas, and everyone was eating and chatting in groups of three or four.
When Gu Yao walked over, she found that there was actually a small table left at the end.
