Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Master Bai came home with a belly of wine. He closed his eyes and washed his face while listening to his wife's self-satisfaction. When he was about to lie down on the bed, he heard her say, "If we put wine in our house, auntie won't do it, she Do you think about it too much, after all, Erlang is so promising now that he is better than Shanbao..."

Master Bai coughed and was choked by his own saliva. He opened his eyes to look at his wife, "What did you say? What happened to your son?"

Madam Bai was stunned, "I didn't say anything?"

"The last sentence."

"I wonder if Auntie will think too much?"

"More to come."

Mrs. Bai hesitated, "Our Erlang is so prosperous now that he is better than Shanbao..."

"Where can you tell that Erlang is better than the best?"

"Our Erlang is the concubine..."

Master Bai: "The concubine Duwei is only five rank, and he also relies on the princess."

He said angrily: "He has not been doing a proper job these years. Apart from doing some chores in the Hanlin Academy, he is writing a book in private. His reputation is getting bigger and bigger, but he is not very serious. How can he compare with the Supreme Good?"

"If you go out and ask, who among the scholars does not know the ultimate good? In the official circle, he is even more famous and has a bright future. What does your son have?"

Madam Bai said angrily, "Why not, he is the concubine!"

"Yeah, I was lucky that year, and was chosen by His Majesty and the princess to be the concubine. Otherwise, I think he really can only go home to inherit my property and watch the tenant farmers farm and live." Bai Erlang's lack of ambition has made him lose his temper. Anyway, he still has a son, and he hopes to find a place, so it will not be so uncomfortable, "Your son is living a comfortable life now, except for the lack of a future. There is."

"Zhishan, he has a bright future, and he may be honored as a prince in the future. You compare Erlang to him, and to him, isn't it ashamed?" Master Bai said: "Fortunately, you are in front of me. I said, if I said it outside, I would have no face to go out."

This was different from Madam Bai's perception, so she couldn't help but lean up, "Is Erlang really that bad?"

Master Bai paused and said awkwardly: "Actually, it's not too bad. He has now risen to the fifth rank in the Hanlin, which is actually quite good. No matter how many scholars are extremely poor, they can't reach this official rank."

"But it's still incomparable with Zhishan. Do you know how much credit he made before he was transferred back to the capital?" Master Bai sighed, "Dalang's letter has already said, if he hadn't wanted to stay in the capital to do his filial piety and take care of his aunt and auntie. Brother and sister, he can now be a provincial governor, and if he goes one step further, he will be a territorial official like Jiedushi."

In Dajin, being a Jiedushi is almost the same as being a local emperor, and the same is true of being a prince and a minister.

Madam Bai was speechless, "Shan Bao isn't that big, is it?"

"What do you think?" You're less than a year apart from your son, how can you not know Bai Shan's age?

Master Bai lay back on the bed, closed his eyes again, and said, "Don't even say such things at home. Tomorrow the magistrate of Luojiang County will come to the door, and the magistrate's wife will definitely come with you. Prepare yourself, Erlang wants to learn. The Zhou family has a running water table, I thought, since we want to do it, we can simply do it more lively, the Zhou family eats for one day, and our family eats it for two or three days."

"Aren't you worried that our aunt's house will not look good if we don't do it? Tomorrow I'll go find my auntie, and I'll just do it together. When the time comes, spread out the mat and everyone can eat it. It's over."

The more Mr. Bai said, the more he felt that this was good, and said: "Invite all the relatives near Mianzhou. Erlang and Zhishan were unable to invite relatives here before they got married. They rarely come back, and they will come back next time. I don’t know what year and month it will be.”

As soon as Mr. Bai asked Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu immediately responded and said with a smile: "It should be lively and lively. Thanks to the care of the village over the years, we have given little feedback. Let's take this opportunity to have fun with everyone."

"Since it is a running water mat, there must be people coming from the nearby villages. We need a lot of things. We need a few days to prepare."

"I just want to invite your Yue family and your relatives in Yizhou," Mrs. Liu said with a slight twist on the corner of her mouth. "The brocade does not return home, it's like brocade clothing walking at night, and it is estimated that it will only be extravagant this time in this lifetime."

The two looked at each other and smiled slightly, recalling the grievances they suffered when they fled to Mianzhou.

Zhou Man and the others knew nothing about it. They were also poured several bowls of wine by the villagers last night, so they all got up late.

If it wasn't for the plan to meet the magistrate of Luojiang County today, they would probably still be able to sleep.

Yin probably didn't drink, but he also slept late. Yesterday, he went up the mountain to pick fruit again, and listened to the villagers talking about Bai Shan and the others when they were children.

By the time they were woken up, it was already three poles in the sun, but there was a certain distance between Qili Village and the county seat, so no one had arrived yet.

Bai Shan called Shang Yin or together to eat breakfast slowly, and then walked around the intersection again, before the magistrate of Luojiang County arrived.

The magistrate of Luojiang County also brought his wife and children here, thinking that it would be good for his wife and children to see the princess and Zhou Man.

Seeing the entrance of the village, the county magistrate whispered to his wife: "Remember, you must talk to Lord Zhou more."

"Where's the princess?"

"Naturally respect, but Lord Zhou is more important than the princess," he sighed, "After all, Lord Zhou is from our Luojiang County and has more affection, and she is in the court, so she is more useful than the princess who doesn't care about anything. "

"What's going on in Luojiang County in the future, her words are better than the princess's words." And it would be easier to get Zhou Man's words, after all, Luojiang County is her hometown.

The lady should go.

"We call her Lord Zhou, but in the backyard, for the sake of respect, you should call her the Queen Mother, it sounds better." The county magistrate explained everything clearly.

Madam: "Master, I'm getting nervous too."

The county magistrate sighed, "Don't be nervous. Look at how many years I've been in office. Alas, if I listened to Zhou Lizhong and spread the rice seeds in his hands, I would have taken a lot of credit and left."

"But I think Luojiang County is not bad. If you keep being the magistrate, it's better to be in Luojiang County."

"Can't you expect me to be promoted?"

"But my father said that you are only a county magistrate. It's barely enough to manage a county. If you go further, you may cause trouble."

When the county magistrate heard this, he felt depressed and refused to talk to his wife. He turned his head away and stopped talking to his wife.

Madam hurriedly caressed his chest and said, "Master, don't be angry, I think what my father said is very reasonable, and it is important to have self-knowledge..."

"Okay, don't talk anymore, save it for a while and say when you see the princess and Lord Zhou, no," the county magistrate felt a little regretful, "otherwise you should talk less."

He probably shouldn't have brought his wife.

Good night, go to bed early tonight, try to update it early tomorrow, and there are two more chapters to be added tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
