Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Jinghan listened nearby and thought it was good that the grandparents were so divided. Although the third uncle's family only has one restaurant, the restaurant has made a lot of profits this year, with a profit of 5,000 taels. The third uncle's family does not suffer at all.

No one had any objections, so that was it.

The important matter of the family separation was settled in this way. The food happened to be ready in the kitchen, so a banquet was set up in the living room for everyone to have fun together.

"Well, Jingxian's engagement is on April 26th, and everyone will have to come back by then. Third child, your family is waiting for Jingxian to finish the engagement before moving out. The engagement will still have to be here. Wait until Jingxian has made the engagement. Dear, if you should go to the capital, go to the capital, and if you should go to the appointment, you should not be delayed." The old lady ordered.

Back then, the emperor gave Zixuan and the others two months of leave. When Jingxian got engaged, Wenhan and the others should prepare to go to the capital. Of course, Jinghan and Zixuan also have to prepare to go to Zhendong County.

The old couple felt uncomfortable having so many people leave the family all of a sudden. However, the children all have their own futures, and we cannot delay them. The old couple hid their worries and reluctance without showing anything on their faces, "Come on, let's have a drink together. Now that you are all successful, I'm so happy. Take care of yourself after you go out. No need to I'm worried about my family, but we're all fine." The old man raised his glass and everyone drank together.

The happy time naturally passed quickly. After the meal was over and everyone talked for a while, the old lady asked Jinghan and Jingwan to go back quickly. Jinghan knew this rule, so she left with Zixuan without saying much.

Three days have passed since they returned home, and the lives of Jinghan and Zixuan have returned to normal. Every morning, the two of them get up early and practice martial arts in the yard. Jinghan would sometimes fight with Zixuan, and the two would learn from each other. The main reason is that Jinghan is worried that Zixuan will be busy with official duties and delay his exercise, which will lead to poor health. So even if the two of them argued until midnight the first night, they both had to get up the next day.

After the two of them were sweating profusely, Jinghan went to the penthouse to take a shower. The first thing Zixuan does when he wakes up every morning is to light a fire and boil a pot of hot water. After Jinghan finished washing, she had to go to the kitchen to help. Naturally, Mr. He got up, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made breakfast while chatting and laughing.

"Jinghan, you don't have to come over to help me cook in the morning. How many days can you stay at home? When you go out, my mother won't be able to cook you two meals even if she wants to." He said while cutting pickles. .

Jinghan was looking at the fire, and the porridge in the pot was already boiling. "Mom, it's okay. We got up in the morning to practice boxing, and I just happened to come over to help you."

After breakfast, Zixuan accompanied Jinghan to the village. This season is the time when flowers are blooming and willows are green. Fortunately, wild vegetables are out of season, otherwise Zixuan would really be able to take Jinghan up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

On April 25th, Zixuan told his parents that he would take Jinghan back to his parents' house to stay for a few days. Naturally, He and Xingjia didn't have any objections. They brought some things to the young couple and watched them walk towards the town.

The Xu family was here because Twenty-Six Jingxian was getting engaged. As soon as she saw Jinghan and his wife coming back, Mrs. Chen clapped her hands happily, "I also said that I was thinking of bringing you back to stay for a few days, and you just came back. By the way, your third uncle has chosen eight or nine people for you. Come back and take a look. If you think it’s not good, we’ll replace it.”

Zhiming was also there, so he quickly sent someone to call the few people he had brought back. "Jinghan, some of the people I have chosen for you are a family, a couple with their son, daughter-in-law, and a daughter. There are also two girls, two young men, and one of these people is about the same. It’s enough. If it’s not enough, Third Uncle will find it for you.”

Jinghan looked at these people. The couple were probably in their forties, the eldest son was twenty-three or four, and the daughter-in-law was just twenty. That girl looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, the age when she was about to get married. This makes Jinghan a little strange. This girl is old enough to get married. How can she still sell herself as a slave with her family?

"Third uncle, what's going on with this girl? At this age, it's time to say kiss." Jinghan couldn't help but ask.

"Don't mention it, she was originally engaged. But who would have thought that when they were about to get married, the man went into the mountains to hunt, and was actually harmed by a blind bear. Now that the marriage couldn't happen, the man said it was The girl's life was so tough that her husband had to let her live as a widow for her son. The girl's parents couldn't bear it and gave away all their belongings. In the end, they had no choice but to sell themselves as slaves. Poor people. They came here on their own after hearing that our family wanted to buy someone. They just wanted to find a good husband for their daughter to live with in the future." Zhiming told the story of this family.

When Jinghan heard this, she was furious, "How can such a thing happen? My son had an accident on the mountain. What does it have to do with the girl? It's really disgusting. Okay, since that's the case, I see that you love your daughter so much. Come on, this requirement is fulfilled. As long as you follow me well, I promise you that I will definitely find a good husband for your daughter."

The family quickly knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Jinghan.

Jinghan asked them to get up, and then looked at the two girls and two boys next to them. The two girls are both twelve or thirteen years old, but they can stay for a few more years. The boy is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he seems to be quite smart. These days, there are still many families who cannot afford to raise too many children, so they have to sell their children. Jinghan really has nothing to do about this. She can't change the world by herself. "Okay, follow us carefully from now on. As long as you are willing to pay attention, your benefits will be inevitable in the future."

Jinghan looked very satisfied with these people, so she decided to keep them all. With Anfu and Changshun, the manpower was enough.

After seeing these people, Mrs. Xue arranged for them to stay temporarily and wait for Jinghan and Zixuan to take them away when they return to the Lin family.

"Okay, it's rare for you to come back. Let's go inside and talk. Zixuan, you and Wenhan and the others are going to go their separate ways soon. Let's go talk." Mrs. Xue led her daughter into the house.

Zixuan also felt that there would be fewer opportunities to meet Wenhan in the future, so the two went to Pengcheng together and said they wanted to have a good get-together.

Qi Yunfei and Jingwan also came back in the afternoon, and now the house was busy. Mingyu had always lived in the Xu family. Now, the four uncles from the Xu family, Wen Han and Wen Cheng, were drinking together until midnight.

The 26th is the day when Jingxian and Mingyu get engaged. Since Mingyu's relatives are not here, Mr. Wu and Mr. Han come to be the man's relatives and friends. Although it was a prince getting engaged, Mingyu didn't want to make it too public, so only relatives and friends of the Xu family were present.

However, the betrothal gift was quite good. Compared with the betrothal gift given by Jinghan and the others when they got engaged, it was really not worth mentioning. Mingyu gave him 10,000 taels in gift money alone, not to mention the rare treasures. In total, there must be something worth 50,000 to 60,000 taels.

The matchmaker on the side was dumbfounded when she saw these things. It was Mrs.

Chen still said the same thing, except for the food, Jingxian took away everything else. Although the Xu family is a farmer, they will not be greedy for anything, as long as Mingyu and Jingxian live well.

Mingyu was so happy today that he never closed his mouth. Looking at the gorgeous Jingxian next to Chen, he could no longer take his eyes away. "Grandma, these things are for the family. It's not easy to raise Jingxian at home. I have to show some expression."

Mrs. Chen waved her hand, "No, your sisters are all like this in our family. We can't live with Jingxian and we have changed again. Besides, we have food and drink now, and we don't lack anything. Why do we still need these things?" What? You are the prince, and if Jingxian marries you, she will be the princess. You must have something good to support her, right? We may not have the money to buy these things, so we will leave them to Jingxian.

The old man also nodded over there, "Yes, your grandma is right. As long as you live happily together in the future, you will be better than anything else."

"Grandpa, grandma, Mingyu and I have discussed it and let Jingxian follow us to the capital after the engagement is completed. Sooner or later, Jingxian will have to get married to the capital, so it is better to go there early to let her adapt. Come on. Second, I want to hire a better educated nanny to teach Jingxian well. Our Xu family is from a farmer's family. Although Jingxian has studied a lot, Mingyu's status is unknown. Well, in the future, Jingxian will be the princess, and there are many things that she has to understand. It’s not like she doesn’t know anything. Then people won’t laugh at Mingyu? "Wenhan, Pengcheng, and Zixuan have already discussed it, and this is the way to go. The most feasible way.

After hearing this, the old lady looked at Zhiming and Zhu, "Jingxian is your daughter. You two can make the decision on this matter. I can't make the decision for you two."

Zhiming and Zhu looked at each other, with some reluctance and helplessness in their eyes. "Mom, just do what Wenhan said. This matter is different from others. We can't delay Jingxian's life just because we can't let go. Anyway, Wenhan, Jingya and Jingwan are all in the capital. Jingxian will follow us. You can rest assured. Mingyu, you have to be nicer to Jingxian in the future. If you treat her badly, we can still bring Jingxian back." Of course Zhiming couldn't bear to let go of her two daughters. When she married in the capital, there was no one around her.

Wen Cheng smiled on the side, "Dad, isn't this simple? Let's save money for two years and then go to the capital. We and I will open a medicinal material store in the capital, specializing in selling medicinal materials from the north and the south. This person is familiar with the roads. , it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Zhiming's eyes lit up after hearing this. Yes, when the time comes, the whole family will just get together in the capital. This should be possible.
