Chapter 512 Groundbreaking

"This Lieutenant General Liang saved your Majesty's life. How did he get promoted so quickly? His rank is almost as high as that of a commander-in-chief."

Hey, this guy hits the point.

The reason why Emperor Wuxing appointed Deputy General Liang as a general of the second rank and gave him a title was to enable him to compete with the people of the Northeastern Province Commandery.

The world was at peace at the beginning, and the Northeast Province had to be stabilized. Therefore, it was difficult to lay off and replace the military generals in the Northeast Province, so they had to promote Deputy General Liang to achieve a balance.

……

The capital city was bustling with activity; Taifeng Town was also bustling with activity.

Because so many villagers wanted to learn how to identify medicinal herbs, the clerk Guan had to quickly start classes for the second batch of villagers.

This time, the number of female villagers who signed up for the class increased three times more than before. Fortunately, there were three townhouses, otherwise there would not be enough space for so many people.

Because Lu Liu and Lu Jiu were smart and literate, they were able to help Aunt Xue identify medicinal herbs for the new female villagers.

Lu Liu is also engaged.

The person who was chosen was Lu Shuli's nephew Shen Du, who was the one who bought color grass from other places last summer, sold it to the Qin family, and made a profit from the difference.

He is the grandson of the Lu family, one year older than Lu Liu. He comes to Lujia Village to visit relatives every year and has long been attracted to Lu Liu, who is capable and good at managing a household.

I had originally thought that after I had sold all the sex grass this fall and made some money, I would go to Lu Liu's house to propose marriage. However, when I came to deliver the Dragon Boat Festival gift at the end of April, I heard from the head of the Lu clan that he had intended to introduce Lu Liu to the Qin family.

Shen Du was almost frightened to death. He dared not wait any longer and immediately ran to Lu Fengshou's house and expressed his intention to marry Lu Liu.

As expected, he was beaten by Lu Fengshou.

Shen Du had no choice but to ask his uncle Lu Shuli for help.

Lu Shuli originally wanted to find a marriage for his nephew in the county town or with a small landlord, but Shen Du refused and said, "Liu Ya's family is getting better and better. Liu Ya can read and do accounts. Most importantly, she is strong and can support the family. Uncle, she is the most suitable for me, and I only choose her..."

After saying a lot, she cried at the end because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to marry Lu Liu.

Lu Shuli: "..."

There was no choice but for Lu Shuli to agree.

Two days later, he picked up his eldest sister, brought generous gifts, and went to Lu Fengshou's house to apologize. After being forgiven, he asked the elders of the Lu clan to mediate.

Lu Fengshou agreed to the marriage after seeing that both the Lu Shuli family and the Shen family were sincere and his younger sister was also interested in Shen Du.

Shen Du immediately prepared the gifts for proposing marriage, and on May 12, he formally invited an official matchmaker to finalize the marriage.

Lu Liu was a man who lived a simple life and did not want his family to waste any more money paying the fine for not getting married, so the two families set the wedding date on June 26th.

Qin Ying and Lu Jiu were not in a hurry. The reason why Qin Ying gave 22 taels of betrothal gift was to let the Lu family use the extra 2 taels of silver to pay the fine for not getting married.

However, this year, they do not have to pay, because both girls are seventeen years old this year, and from this year on, unmarried girls under the age of eighteen do not have to pay the fine.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Dangdang Dangdang!

The gong sounded, and the villagers left get out of class and filed out.

Liang Zhi came to maintain order, shouting, "Move forward, don't crowd... Where are you running to, you three bastards? If you take another step, I'll take you to the Silifang and flog you!"

I asked you to come to class, not to let you meet the girls who are learning to identify medicine!

The three young men could only stop and lower their heads, returning to the group of male villagers. They felt that they could not bear this injustice, so they shouted, "Master Liang Wu, we are not idiots, we are going to pick up our wives, who are taking classes over there!"

Liang Zhi was shocked: "..."

You three are not as old as my brother, yet you have a wife? My eldest brother is still single.

Liang Zhi: "You can't run over there, what if you bump into other girls? Wait by the roadside until your wife comes to find you!"

Ok.

The three of them could only wait on the roadside, and when their wives came, they would happily go home.

Liang Zhi: “…”

garish.

I miss my elder brother.

I hope my elder brother can get married in the capital soon.

When Liang He returns to the capital, Emperor Wuxing will indeed arrange a marriage for him. Deputy General Liang and Liang He already knew about this, but they didn't dare to tell Liang Zhi, the big mouth.

Liang Zhi was maintaining order when he looked towards the road and saw several vehicles, one of which was a horse-drawn carriage. On the front board sat a tall man.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, you're back?!" The more Liang Zhi looked at the man, the more he looked like Jiang Dalang. He immediately dropped his job of maintaining order and ran towards the main road.

The villagers hurriedly shouted, "Master Liang Wu, hurry back. If Young Master Huang sees you, he will complain and Master Xue will deduct your wages!"

Liang Zhi and Huang Yanglong quarreled every day, fought every two days, and also followed each other just to report each other.

"Let him sue and just deduct some wages. He is not as important as my brother Jiang!" Liang Zhi moved like a shuttle, and with more than ten big leaps, he reached the main road in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Jiang, it's really you who are back!"

Jiang Dalang had seen him a long time ago and stopped his car by the road to wait. When he saw him arrive, he smiled and said, "Brother Liang, you have great endurance. After more than a dozen big jumps, you can still talk without breathing hard."

Uncle Qin was so shocked that he asked sincerely, "Boy, have you ever lived in the mountains?"

Otherwise, how could you be so stupid?

"How do you know?" Liang Zhi looked at Brother Jiang again and said with a smile, "That's nothing. My brother said that I was just working hard. Leading troops in battle requires deployment of troops."

Pretty humble.

The next moment, he sat on the front board of the car and asked: "Brother Jiang, I will take you back to the village."

"Okay." Jiang Dalang agreed.

The car drove fast and arrived at the west of the village at lunch time.

The open spaces on both sides of the west entrance of the village are already filled with building materials needed for laying the foundation.

But the ground hasn't been broken yet.

Grandpa Qin said that they had to wait until Jiang Dalang and Uncle Qin came back and the whole family had performed the memorial ceremony before they could start construction.

"Da Lang, you're finally back. You've been gone for over a month, and your family was worried sick." Grandma Qin and the others came out to greet him. They took Da Lang by the hand. Seeing that he had lost weight, they felt very distressed and said immediately, "Kill two chickens tonight, and eat as much as you want to replenish your body."

Uncle Qin squeezed over and pointed at himself and said, "Mom, your own son is here."

"You've gained weight and taken good care of yourself, but why don't you take care of Dalang? He has lost a lot of weight, how can you be an elder?" Grandma Qin gave him some motherly love, but not much.

Uncle Qin: "..."

Grandpa Qin asked, "Where is the pardon document from the government office? Bring it here so I can have a look."

"Grandpa Qin, it's here with me." Jiang Dalang took out a box, took out a square leather bag from it and handed it to Grandpa Qin.

Grandpa Qin praised: "Da Lang is very efficient. He put the documents in a leather bag so that they would not be destroyed by water."

Uncle Qin said sourly: "Everything I do is wrong, but everything he does is praised!"

Grandpa Qin ignored him and walked into the house first. Then he dared to open the leather bag, took out the pardon document, read it three times, and called Uncle Qin in. He took his hand and compared it with the fingerprints on it.

After more than a quarter of an hour, he exhaled and said with a smile: "This time it's settled."

Uncle Qin's hands were sore that he quickly pulled them back and went to Aunt Qin to ask for credit: "Wife, I've got a gift for you. It's in the car. Go and move it."

Seeing him jumping up and down, Aunt Qin put aside her worries and glared at him, "You are a grown man, how dare you ask a weak woman like me to move the goods?"

Uncle Qin: "Weak girl? You?"
