Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Jinghan and Zixuan stayed by the river for a long time before returning home. The house looked quite peaceful, but Zixuan understood that they had just gone out, and grandma didn't know how to get angry. This second aunt was really, she always made grandma furious.

The second uncle's family had already left, and I think they were driven away by grandma. Zixuan smiled, "Would you accompany me to the study to read? After lunch, we will have a good nap."

Jinghan thought about it and felt that this suggestion was not bad. After all, they were newlyweds, and even if the two of them were sick of each other, no one could say anything. So the two of them went to the study hand in hand, each took a book from the bookshelf, and then read together. Occasionally, the two of them looked up at each other, and then lowered their heads to read. This feeling was even more different than being obsessed with each other.

It was not until Ziwen shouted outside that it was time to eat that the two put down the books and left the study.

The lunch was naturally much richer, and Jinghan didn't pretend to eat, she ate as she should, which made He very happy. "It's still our Jinghan, you used to love the food I cooked, and you still love it now. Since you like it, I will cook a few meals for you, and when you go out, you have to do it yourself." At this point, He felt a little sorry for her son and daughter-in-law. "By the way, Zixuan, shouldn't you buy a few people? You are an official, and there are people coming and going, so you need a few people to support you. You can't ask Jinghan to serve tea and water when someone comes? This is not decent. So, you go back tomorrow, and then we will ask someone to buy a few people. I think we need two personal maids, two maids for rough work, a kitchen maid, a doorman, and two servants. This will be enough. Then we can see if we can buy people who are suitable for us. It's better to buy them all here, so as not to go there. Who knows if those people have any problems with their origins?" Although He Shi couldn't read, she was not stupid, and she saw many things very thoroughly.

"Your mother is right. It's best to buy these people locally. Their eating habits are similar. If we buy them over there, there will be some differences, which is troublesome. Besides, we can train them at home for a few days, so that they can be used when we get over there. If we buy them over there, they will be useless and it will delay things." Mrs. Lin agreed with the proposal of the eldest daughter-in-law. She never said she favored any of the two daughters-in-law in the family. The second daughter-in-law looked pretty good when she got married, but she became less and less good. She has become more and more annoying as she has aged in recent years. Unlike the eldest daughter-in-law, she is down-to-earth and hardworking, and she is good at dealing with people. Zixuan and Jinghan looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Originally, the Xu family wanted to marry a family of people as a dowry, but Jinghan refused because she was afraid that the Lin family would be suspicious. It's better to buy a few people now. After all, with this status, there are some things that Jinghan can't do herself. "Okay, then do as mother said, and ask uncle San to help look around the county town and buy some familiar things."

After lunch, He said, "I feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, and nap in summer. Maybe I'm tired these days. I feel a little tired. You can do whatever you want. I need to close my eyes for a while." Then she got up and went back to her room.

Xingjia also waved his hand, "I'm tired too. I'm going to take a nap. Dad, mom, you can do whatever you want. If you want to go out, you can go out. If you don't want to go out, just stay at home." Then he followed his wife to sleep.

The old man smiled, "It's not easy for us old people to sleep at noon, otherwise we won't be able to sleep at night. Old lady, please accompany me for a walk. Look how nice the weather is outside."

"Okay, I just want to go out for a walk." The old lady agreed very happily, and the old couple supported each other and walked away.

Jinghan looked at the backs of the two old people and envied them. "Zixuan, if we can be like grandpa and grandma when we are old, it would be great. Support each other and stay together until we are old."

Zixuan took Jinghan's hand and the two walked to the backyard. "That's for sure. We will stay together until we are old."

The two returned to the room, but they were not in a hurry to sleep. They leaned against each other and talked for a while. Gradually, Jinghan felt a little sleepy and went to sleep on the kang. I got up early yesterday morning and tossed and turned in the middle of the night. How could I not be sleepy?

Zixuan hugged Jinghan and the two slept soundly.

They slept until the afternoon. When they got up, it was already the end of the Weishi. The two had nothing to do, so they sorted out Jinghan's dowry. Jinghan's dowry was all in the west room, piled up all over the floor. The Xu family brought back all the things sent by the Lin family. In addition, there were rewards from the emperor, gifts from Mingyu and others, etc., plus the dowry from the Xu family, which was not a lot, how could it be?

The Xu family didn't take a penny of the 1,000 taels of gold awarded by the emperor to Jinghan, and gave it all to Jinghan. Zhiming said that although they also had a role in saving people, now Jingwan married the commander of the imperial guards, and Jingxian also said that this was the blessing of saving people, so he didn't care about anything else. These things should be left to Jinghan.

Since Zhiming said so, the other members of the Xu family unanimously agreed to leave these things to Jinghan. Zhendong County is a poor and remote place, and it is not known how much money will be used at that time, so it is better to have some family assets.

While holding the dowry list, Zixuan helped Jinghan count the dowry, "Oh, it seems that I have married a rich little woman. Madam, I will rely on you for my future husband." He joked.

"That's no problem. As long as you serve well, rewards are a must." Jinghan raised her neck and said arrogantly.

Zixuan felt itchy in his heart, so he hugged Jinghan and kissed her, "Young man." Then the two of them burst out laughing.

After sorting it out for a long time, the two finally gathered all Jinghan's dowry. Jinghan took out some clothes and supplies and put them in boxes for now. It won't be long before they have to go and there won't be any need to repack the boxes.

Jinghan looked at the silver in her hand. There were the one thousand taels of gold rewarded by the emperor, the gift of 240 taels from the Lin family, and the 400 taels of silver from the Xu family. Of course, there were also My own private house, taken together, is really quite a lot. "Zixuan, tell our father and ask him to select one of the three people from Guoping, Guoan or Anfu for me to use. In addition, give me a share of our family's brewing recipe. I want to go over and get it first. I asked about a winery in Zhendong County. There is a river called Taoer River. The water quality there is good. I want to build a winery there." Jinghan secretly knew that Zixuan was going to be an official there. She did a lot of homework, she had already inquired about this.

Zixuan looked at Jinghan in surprise, but he didn't expect that Jinghan had already made plans before he arrived at the place. "Madam, are you too awesome? We haven't even gotten there yet. Are you already planning this?"

Jinghan looked at Zixuan very proudly, "Humph, what do you think? If I didn't make plans in advance and wait until I get there, then transfer people there again, wouldn't it be a delay? I heard someone say, then There are many large lakes and vast swamps, and there are many saline-alkali lands there, so it is very poor. But if we make good use of these things, we can make the people live a good life when we get there. , I will look around and think of a solution then.”

Zixuan was so happy, "Oh, my good wife, you are really my lucky star. With my wife's help, I think the people who come there will really be able to live a better life in the future." Zixuan hugged Jinghan and exclaimed Kissed Jinghan again on the face.

"Go, don't make trouble here, and don't forget to tell our dad when you have time. This is a big deal, and we must take away a big boss. In addition, I will discuss with my dad tomorrow to see if we can kidnap another one. . I think the Zhou family's Changshun is good. He should be well-educated and capable of doing great things." Jinghan was a little tickled by his kiss, so she reached out and patted Zixuan away.

"Madam, that is our father, not yours alone." Zixuan corrected with a smile.

Jinghan rolled her eyes at Zixuan and said, "Nonsense, if you dare not treat me as your father, I won't deal with you. I say this just because I'm afraid you might get confused. After all, are we two dads?" After that, Jinghan also laughed, and the confusion will definitely happen in the future.

"Haha, our father is not suitable anymore. Marrying a daughter, not counting so many things as a gift, you actually have to kidnap a steward. No wonder people say that girls are outgoing." Zixuan joked.

"Yeah, you'd better pray that we don't have a daughter, otherwise, your daughter will definitely have more stuff than mine." When idle, Jinghan started to quarrel with Zixuan.

"No, I would rather my daughter kidnap my things than have a daughter as beautiful as you." Zixuan hugged Jinghan and whispered in her ear. "What a wonderful daughter. A daughter is my mother's little cotton-padded jacket. Don't you want to have a little cotton-padded jacket?"

Jinghan let Zixuan hug her and said lazily, "No matter how close-fitting the little cotton-padded jacket is, it will eventually become someone else's. I'm afraid I won't be able to let it go." Just like herself. I am married, and I don’t know what my parents are like at home. Jinghan suddenly felt homesick and couldn't help but shed tears.

Zixuan was stunned and quickly wiped Jinghan's tears, "What's wrong? Weren't you fine just now? Why are you crying when you say you're crying?" He quickly held Jinghan in his arms and patted Jinghan gently. 's back. "Don't cry, madam, don't cry. If your husband has anything to do, I'll help you. Don't cry." Growing up, I saw Jinghan crying very rarely. What's going on?

"I miss home." Jinghan also felt a little embarrassed and quickly wiped her tears.

Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Madam, I won't scare people like this in the future. We will go home tomorrow. Before we leave, we will go home and stay for three to five days."
