Farmer’s Blessed Girl

It didn't take long for the old Zhoutou to hear what Feng said at the head of the village. She immediately went to Qian and said, "Mother, Man Bao wants to kiss Erya, what kind of family are you talking about?"

Qian: "...I haven't had a shadow yet, don't worry."

"Er Ya is so old, so don't worry, all the girls in the village who are the same age as her are the mothers of two children."

Qian's hands didn't stop, and continued to hold the dough, "What are you afraid of, it's too late for Liu Lang to get married, didn't he also say a good marriage?

Feng shi was thoughtful, and felt that what her mother-in-law said was right, but... She hadn't seen her daughter for two years, and she didn't know what happened to her.

Feng Shi couldn't help but ask, "Mother, are you and your father still going to the capital during the Chinese New Year?"

Qian thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, if there are too many things at home, I won't go."

Feng shi wanted them to go, even though she couldn't go with her, they could watch the children a little while they went. The two girls were both in the capital, and they were not too young, so it was time to say kiss.

Qian calmed his daughter-in-law, then turned to Zhou Lang, who was repairing farm implements, and said, "San Lang, it's getting late, go and call your father back."

In the past, this kind of thing was done by the children in the family, but now that the children are not at home, Zhou Lang can only put down the work at hand and call his father.

When Lao Zhoutou was called back, he was still a little unfulfilled, and the villagers were also still unfinished. A few people who had a good time with him also walked back together, and then stood outside the wall of Lao Zhou's house and talked for a long time before dispersing. .

Now the old Zhou family is very decent in Qili Village, and their popularity looks better than before.

This is not only because Man Bao has become an official and is the most promising person in Qili Village, but also because of the influence of the old Zhou family on Qili Village.

Many people in the village now grow medicinal materials. Yam, ginger and privet are grown in several acres. Some of the collected medicinal materials are sold to the county seat, Fucheng and neighboring counties for Zhou Yilang; Thurs Lang sold further afield.

In the past two years, they have made a lot of money because of this, so this time, four families in Niuguang Village bought the dozen or so heads that Chuulang brought back.

Others were sold to several nearby villages.

Because they are all villagers, Lao Zhoutou is less likely to call the shots, and each cow is about a hundred cents less than what is sold in the county cattle market.

When Old Zhoutou made this decision, he was a little distressed, but he said to his sons: "This is the root of our family. Where, I will always come back here in the future, so I will give the benefits to the villagers. Most of your brothers are outside now. The villagers build houses, marry wives, and send off the elderly. You all can't help, love It can only be given from elsewhere.”

Tuesday Lang and the others nodded in agreement.

Old Zhoutou changed his voice and said, "But you can't give too much. The money at home is earned by your hard work. It's dangerous to go out to do business."

But Qian Shi said: "Sheng Mien fights Mi Chou, even if you bring your cousins ​​and cousins, you must also pay attention to your sense of proportion, give what you should give, and don't give what you shouldn't give, otherwise good people will be spoiled by you. already."

This time back, Chuu Lang planned to take the two cousins ​​of the Qian family out, mainly in and out of the grasslands, and it was only his own life that he would give his life for many things.

It's not that they haven't encountered any danger. Last time, they added two more vehicles because of lack of manpower. The people were hired now. As a result, they ran away when they encountered danger, and they also passed some of their goods.

However, the three sons he brought and the people under Xiang Mingxue's hands were stable, so Shirou felt that his own people were easy to use.

On Tuesday, Lang is now in charge of the medicinal materials business in several nearby counties and prefectures. Every time he goes out, he invites young people from the village and people from his uncle's family. However, he is only busy in autumn and winter.

Because of these, the old Zhou family is now very prestigious in the village, and even the village chief likes to come over to talk with Zhou Lang about anything.

Of course, after Lao Zhoutou and the others came back, they turned to Lao Zhoutou to discuss.

This time, the village chief asked Lao Zhoutou to discuss whether to offer a pig head to the ancestor this year.

Qili Village used to be very poor. When worshipping ancestors, there were chickens, meat and fish, but they didn't offer pig heads very much. After all, pig heads were very expensive.

The last time I gave a pig head to my ancestor was because I heard that Man Bao had become an official, and the village itself became lively once.

The last time was because Zhou Yin was wronged, and he was posthumously named Mianzhou Shepherd...

The village chief mentioned this to discuss with Lao Zhoutou, and let him pay by the way, not all, but the big one.

This is also a customary rule in the village. Whoever is richer will pay more. After all, the ancestors bless them.

In the past, the old Zhou family used to sell more or less, and belonged to the middle group.

But Lao Zhoutou was not stingy at all in this regard, he agreed without thinking about it, he didn't need to ask Qian for the money, he took the money himself, and said to the village chief: "You must let the ancestors bless you. Our family is prosperous and rich, and everyone in the family is safe and healthy.”

Village Chief: ...Does he need to find him if he has this ability? He made all the sacrifices of the ancestors by himself.

But he said: "Uncle Jin, don't worry, the ancestors will bless your family."

Qili Village was very lively. From the 30th day of the new year, it started to fire, and it was the most released on the morning of the first day of the first day of the first year of the first year.

This side of the capital is also very lively, but it is lively with ordinary people. This year, officials only meet briefly to pay New Year's greetings, and it's almost the same as a bow. Except for their relatives and officials, even boxing is not collected.

As for the banquet, no one dared to drink and celebrate with great fanfare unless the door was closed to drink secretly.

However, as soon as the eighth yamen was opened, seven or eight officials were impeached for a banquet during the period of national filial piety, and one person was a concubine during the period of national filial piety.

Then Manbao's first great court meeting in the new year saw that eight officials were demoted. The concubine was demoted directly from the capital, from the fifth rank to the seventh rank, and was placed in a lower county. order to go.

Man Bao raised his head very much, and then became a little uncertain. After retreating, he quickly chased two steps to catch up with the Tang magistrate.

Magistrate Tang turned to look at her curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Man Bao pulled him to a remote place, lowered his voice and asked, "I know that it is a taboo to have a concubine in a country, so is it considered to be in the same room?"

The Tang county magistrate twisted his face and lowered his voice, "Who will spy on the boudoir thing if it doesn't cause death?"

"What if there is a fatality?"

Tang county magistrate:  …

He looked Zhou Man up and down, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it that I begged you to come here?"

See you tomorrow
